Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

Qiantang City, Qiantang Gate Building Top Floor, National Defense Crisis Management Bureau —

The office was deserted, with only a few clerical staff sitting in front of their computers, engrossed in their work.

All the cultivators that the bureau could deploy were sent out by Peng Shaoxun to keep an eye on any potential disturbances.

Yin Hang straightened his collar, hurried to the office, and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Hearing the sounds coming from inside the house, Yin Hang pushed open the door and went in.

The room was filled with smoke. Although Peng Shaoxun was a cultivator, his cultivation level was not high. Several days of high-intensity overtime work had left him with dark circles under his eyes.

Upon seeing Yin Hang, Peng Shaoxun stubbed out his cigarette and smiled, asking, "Any good news?"

Yin Hang nodded to Peng Shaoxun: "I went to see Brother Qin, and he said he would personally take action if necessary."

After saying that, Yin Hang felt that the matter was actually settled.

Now that Brother Qin has agreed to take action, this strange Buddhist incident that has swept across the entire land of China should be coming to an end.

Peng Shaoxun nodded and let out a soft sigh.

The government has sent many reincarnated individuals to inquire about the strange events that have occurred in various temples across China.

However, apart from receiving some definite information from his master's aunt, who said it might be related to "ancient gods," the other easy-going reincarnated individuals did not know the specific reason.

As a precaution, the government has instructed local crisis management agencies to consult with local reincarnated individuals, hoping that these individuals will be able to intervene in critical moments to minimize civilian casualties.

Qin Zijun, as a reincarnated being, is indeed the Empress's husband, but he is also quite mysterious and possesses considerable power.

Therefore, Peng Shaoxun also sent Yin Hang to find him, hoping to get a promise to help at a critical moment.

Thinking about these things, Peng Shaoxun suddenly smiled, looking much more relaxed, and joked, "This time, your Brother Qin shouldn't need to lift a finger."

"Oh? What good thing happened, Director Peng?" Yin Hang asked curiously.

Peng Shaoxun sat up slightly, suppressing his excitement, and said, "My master, Master Xuanwei, the head of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, has given a clear reply that he will personally take action."

"My master is currently traveling throughout China, dealing with the most difficult Buddha statues."

Temples throughout China have seen numerous instances of Buddha statues "coming back to life."

However, these resurrected Buddha statues vary in their power.

The resurrected Buddha statues in small temples are weak, and the locals can easily resolve the issue.

However, some famous large temples in China have resurrected Buddha statues that are almost indistinguishable from their exterior counterparts!

It should be noted that spiritual energy is only recovering now, and the Outer Realm is already the highest realm that cultivators can achieve.

Such powerful individuals possess immense strength and are only outwardly compliant with government orders; whether or not the government will intervene depends entirely on them.

If a Buddha statue from the Outer Realm were to come to life and no powerful figure were to intervene, the resulting harm would be unimaginably terrifying!

Seeing Peng Shaoxun's indifferent attitude, as if Qin Zijun didn't care whether he made a move or not, and seeing his smug sigh of relief, Yin Hang curled his lips.

Yin Hang could understand Director Peng's thoughts.

After all, in Director Peng's eyes, although Brother Qin was mysterious, he was just a monk who barely reached the Cave Profound Realm in his previous life. His most remarkable achievement was his identity as the Empress's husband.

Who is Master Xuanwei?

That is the current leader of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, a former Taiqing Realm Saint, and an unparalleled powerhouse who dominated his era.

Compared to a powerful figure who was no weaker than the Empress in his previous life and was on par with her, he would naturally trust Master Xuanwei more.

"I wonder what Director Peng's expression will be after he finds out Brother Qin's identity."

Yin Hang muttered a curse to himself, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Peng Shaoxun's choice.

Any normal person would make that choice.

However, Director Peng made a mistake in the report.

Peng Shaoxun picked up his phone from his desk and swiped his finger across the screen.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the various news articles inside.

Major temples across the country are under emergency lockdown.

Large numbers of armed police officers besieged the temple.

Suspected terrorists have gathered at temples across the country.

"..."

The news articles were accompanied by photos, all taken from a distance by people.

There were light armored vehicles assembled, and officers and soldiers armed and ready to go; the atmosphere in the photo alone was breathtaking.

Among them were posts from people who appeared to have witnessed the actual situation.

"Holy crap, holy crap, I know why so many temples are surrounded by soldiers. Guess what I saw?"

"There's a small temple near my house, and I saw that the Buddha statue inside had come to life!"

"Really, I'm not lying to you. Besides me, many other people in my neighborhood saw it."

"..."

"I would rather believe that I am Qin Shi Huang than believe you."

"Hehe, no picture, no truth."

"..."

For the time being, the government can still control public opinion on the internet.

However, if a large-scale riot were to occur, it would be quite difficult to suppress information.

Just as Peng Shaoxun was pondering, his phone suddenly rang.

Quickly press the answer button and place the phone to your ear.

"What did you say?!"

Peng Shaoxun suddenly stood up: "...Okay, I understand!"

After a few brief words, he hung up the phone and said to Yin Hang in front of him, "Quick, come with me to the Hermitage!"

"Hermitage Temple?"

Yin Hang seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Yinxiu Temple is very famous in Qiantang City. It is the most famous temple in Qiantang City, and it has been under control for a long time.

Peng Shaoxun hurriedly said, "Yes, something happened there. Come with me quickly to provide support."

Yin Hang didn't dare to think too much. He grabbed the immortal sword that the Empress had given him and ran out with Peng Shaoxun.

Although his strength was average, as a member of the Administration Bureau, he had to rush to the front line to fight as soon as possible.

……

The capital city, with its many palace walls, is solemn and profound.

It was the height of summer, with cicadas chirping and the heatwave intense.

Sunlight streamed through the classical Chinese gauze windows, illuminating the room and giving the yellow pear wood furniture a subtle sheen.

Jiang Zhi, dressed in a brocade palace dress with her white hair tied up high, sat upright behind her desk, looking at reports from all over the country.

The Buddha statues in many temples have come back to life, but they seem to be restraining themselves from leaving the temples to commit indiscriminate killings. For the time being, everything is still under control.

However, the Zhuxia region is too vast, with too many temples, and there are already insufficient manpower, which also requires Jiang Zhi to share a lot of energy.

When Jiang Zhi's cold and indifferent gaze fell on Qiantang City on the map, her slender embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a sense of unease crept into her heart.

Although she is no longer in the Taiqing Realm, she still possesses a profound and mysterious perception.

Jiang Zhi vaguely suspected that these riots involving Buddha statues in various places were more like a smokescreen, and that the other side's real target was her.

This is a natural sensation that powerful cultivators experience when danger befalls them; even if the Great Dao is confused, this sense of danger will not disappear.

If the target were himself, the young monk would likely be in danger!

The young monk's identity was exposed too much, and there was no time to cover it up.

These inside stories have probably already been leaked. If someone targets them, they will definitely target the little monk as well.

This made Jiang Zhi both angry and guilty.

She had promised the young monk that she would protect him for the rest of her life, but the danger the young monk encountered was related to her.

This made Jiang Zhi regret her actions; if she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have acknowledged the little monk.

Even if I can only watch him from afar, it's better than letting him be in danger.

The world is now in a state of flux, and even the former Empress Taiqing is not confident that she can fully control the situation.

Footsteps came from outside, and Jiang Zhi looked up.

Pang Wanyi strode in and whispered, "Your Majesty, there is news from Qiantang City."

She glanced upwards and saw the Empress sitting behind the table, wearing a loose palace dress that still couldn't hide her beautiful and charming figure.

Although the Empress always wore a veil, Pang Wanyi had seen the Empress's true face in person.

Her flawless beauty, as if bestowed upon her by the very essence of heaven and earth, and the majesty and nobility emanating from her very bones, would even captivate Pang Wanyi, a woman herself.

Sometimes, she really envied Qin Zijun.

He must have accumulated good fortune over several lifetimes to be able to marry such a stunningly beautiful and powerful empress, who was so devoted to her.

"What news is there from Qiantang City?"

Jiang Zhi tried her best to keep her tone calm, but there was still a subtle tension in her voice.

"Master Xuanwei, the leader of the Yuanshi Daluo Sect, is currently near Qiantang City. If there is any change in Qiantang City, the old master can take action at any time."

Pang Wanyi respectfully reported to the leader.

Jiang Zhi breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Knowing that Master Xuanwei was repaying a favor from the East Sea Immortal Palace, he personally traveled to Qiantang City to help her protect her little monk.

Jiang Zhi's beautiful fingers unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Although she obtained the national fortune of the Xia dynasty and began to cultivate the method of governing dynasties anew, she did not have a deep understanding of the current Xia dynasty's fortune.

This made her feel as if she had returned to that time when she was weak and fearful, always on guard against external enemies and also wary of internal strife.

Those reincarnated beings are too difficult to control.

Especially these reincarnated beings, many of whom had achieved extraordinary things in their previous lives, how could they possibly obey her orders so easily?

Jiang Zhi's eyes were deep and dark, her dark pupils shining brightly like dazzling stars.

To rebuild the order of the dynasty, one must ultimately rely on one's own strength to fight one's way back.

However, while technology is not very effective against reincarnated individuals, it is perfect for establishing a sound framework for the underlying order.

This is many times stronger than the Great Yan that I controlled when I was in the Outer Realm.

The control that the government has over its subordinates is vastly different between ancient and modern societies.

at this time,

Pang Wanyi's phone rang

She answered the phone quickly, then her expression changed drastically: "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

"In the temple of Fozizhuang outside the capital, the Buddha statue suddenly came to life, and the thousands of people in the village were turned into puppets."

"The government has been mobilized urgently and is on high alert."

Jiang Zhi suddenly stood up.

Her starry eyes, like a deep, icy pool, flickered uncertainly as she coldly asked, "So you've finally arrived?"

According to national intelligence, although temple unrest has been ongoing in various places, there have been no major incidents with thousands of deaths.

Now, in the capital, the most tense place, such a large-scale death incident has occurred. Jiang Zhi can already sense that it is aimed at her.

"Hmph, the main character has finally appeared. If you hadn't shown up, I would have found it troublesome!"

"Since you've shown up, then die here!"
