From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 36 Something is wrong. It is % wrong

The pear blossoms suddenly wilted.

If it fails the test, my uncle will definitely not let it go when I return.

It yawned and then continued to lie down.

Although its boss usually smiles at everyone, it occasionally feels a heavy pressure from him, which makes it dare not to stand up.

You Ming's gaze stayed on Menghuoli for a while before moving away.

There is such a troublemaker in the team now. If he is not properly restrained, who knows what kind of trouble he will cause.

When he was leading a gaming team in his previous life, he deeply understood a truth: managers can joke around with their subordinates, but if anyone is slacking off while working, he will kick them out without hesitation.

"Bed Lady is back, how's the situation?"

You Ming was thinking about something when he saw an old woman walking in from outside the hall.

In his hand he was holding an ink string with a grinning little fetal ghost tied to it.

"Sir, I have already found out that it is this little thing that is causing trouble. I guess a family had a stillborn baby and didn't handle it properly, so it sparked resentment and turned into a fetal ghost."

The bed lady said respectfully.

But as soon as she said this, You Ming frowned slightly.

Because he has been doing everything himself in the past year or so, he can guarantee that every family has a smooth delivery and there are no stillbirths or anything like that.

But if this dead fetus is left over from before, that doesn't make sense. If there is no environment like the underworld or the Jedi, such a resentful ghost cannot survive for long.

Could it be that there are still undiscovered cemeteries in Changning County?
"Please help to convert this fetal ghost. Although it harbors resentment because it was not born, it has done nothing wrong."

The mother-in-law was kind-hearted and didn't want to see the dead fetus tortured by resentment.

"Shinto has its own rules. All matters concerning the guidance, salvation, rewards, and punishments of ghosts must be handed over to the Yin-Yang Division. Other gods are not allowed to presumptuously handle them."

"Bazu Ben'er, take this little fetal ghost to the Yin-Yang Division of Changning County and let them handle it as appropriate."

You Ming called the elves running around on Yuanling Mountain. When the barefoot Bener heard that there was a mission to go out, he happily picked up the little ghost in his hand and ran away with a jump.

……

A Yao seed glowed faintly in the little carp's mind.

Compared to the beginning, this Yao seed has grown several times bigger.

Because over the past few days, Youming has gradually absorbed external light such as sunlight, candlelight, and starlight, making the magical effects of the Yao seed even more extensive.

In addition to being able to reflect one's own shortcomings, it can also make one's thoughts stable, the mind peaceful, and full of righteousness.

He is now waiting for the first thunder of spring to fall so that he can absorb the lightning.

By then, this Yao seed will have some thunder-like deterrent power, and will have a strong inhibitory effect on some dark things.

Now, every day when he is quiet, he will light the Yao seed, not only to review the mistakes and omissions in his practice, but also to think about whether there is anything he missed in his work.

At this moment, the radiant light flowed like a transparent stream of water, illuminating the dark areas in his brain one by one.

"Since there's a fetal ghost in Yangjiaoshui Village, it means there's a high probability that there's an undiscovered yin land nearby. There might also be other ghosts hiding there... but it's not certain. If this yin land is smaller, it might just be the birthplace of a small fetal ghost."

"To be on the safe side, it would be best to ask the spirits of the Yin-Yang Department and the Correction of Winds Department to survey every inch of the place and find and fill in the dark place."

You Ming quickly remembered his own oversight.

The underworld will not have much impact on gods and practitioners, but the ghosts it breeds may harm the people.

He made up his mind and called Wu Mo to write a document, which he would have Chizu Ben'er deliver to the City God Temple tomorrow.

But at this moment, the bronze bell hanging on the Niangniang Temple suddenly began to shake rapidly.

You Ming's eyes fixed.

"Something happened to one of my messengers... It was Chizu Ben'er, and he hasn't returned yet."

He quickly realized that each Yincha left a wisp of his energy in a copper bell, and if he encountered danger, he would ring the copper bell to ask for help.

"Towards the water port."

"Lihua'er, go to the county government office to call for help. The others, come with me to Shuibukou."

As soon as You Ming had this thought, the water mist around him surged, as if he was riding on clouds, carrying everyone up and floating away from Yuanling Mountain.

At this moment, Menghuoli also opened his eyes alertly, and then crawled down again.

But in a place invisible to outsiders, a fiery red shadow kept jumping into people's dreams and heading towards Changning County at an extremely fast speed.

Shuibukou is located at a fork in the Fengshui River, from which a tributary flows westward.

Because the tributary looks like a sheep's horn, it is called Yangjiaoshui River, and the nearby village is also called Yangjiaoshui Village.

As for this fork in the road, because there were endless merchants coming and going, the county government built many warehouses here, and now it has become a port. Cang Zhaoer's father, Cang Laoer, is the warehouse keeper of this warehouse to prevent any monsters from stealing the goods.

The river hadn't been repaired in years, and it was clogged with silt, making it difficult for large ships to navigate. So, starting last winter, the county government organized a team of river workers to carry out a series of silt removal operations.

You Ming was suspended in mid-air, looking at the fork in the river below.

Because the dredging work has not been completed, both sides of the river are blocked by sandbags. There is only a small amount of water in the river at the fork, and most of it is muddy silt.

Chizu Ben'er disappeared at this location, but he sensed the other party's aura and was still alive for the time being.

"I've seen God."

As soon as You Ming arrived here, Cang Laoer, the warehouse clerk at the port, hurried over to pay his respects.

"Cang Lao Er, have you seen anything unusual here?"

When You Ming saw Cang Laoer, he didn't hesitate and asked directly.

This local tyrant might know something.

Cang Laoer's honest face also looked a little serious. He knew that something big must have happened.

"As for something unusual... ten days ago, while digging the river channel, we unearthed some bones. They were only about a foot long, and looked... like the bones of a human baby."

Cang Laoer's beard trembled and he quickly spoke.

"However, I didn't notice anything else. After the river workers hastily collected the bones, I didn't intervene."

Cang Laoer didn't know what was going on and felt very hesitant.

"Show me where the bones were dug up."

You Ming's heart skipped a beat. Combined with the little fetal ghost, it seemed that this matter was most likely related to these skeletons.

"God, it's in that corner. Because they dug out bones, the county government thought it was unlucky and stopped people from digging deeper in that direction."

Cang Laoer stretched out his slender claws and pointed in a direction.
