Chapter 226: Mountain Rain is Coming (2)
At the same time that Xu Qi was in contact with Chu Hongsleeve in Jiuyang Mountain in northern Xinjiang in southern Xinjiang, Zhao Ziming listened to his soldiers report on various affairs in the Chenghuang Temple in the capital of the country.
The soldiers and generals under Zhao Ziming are all wandering spirits. These wandering spirits became Zhao Ziming's subordinates, and they also gained some earthly energy, as well as the grandeur in the City God Temple. Under the daylight, invisible travel is not difficult for these wandering generals.
While Zhao Ziming is the city god of the capital city, he also has to govern the villages and towns within a hundred miles around the capital. These soldiers and generals happened to travel and visit all over the country, and they could share a lot of responsibilities for Zhao Ziming.
It's daytime, and there are a lot of incense burners in the temple to pray for blessings. But Zhao Ziming and the generals all hid their figures, so that ordinary people would not look at Xingzang and hear the words between them.
The generals of the ministry spoke in an orderly manner and reported to Zhao Ziming on the affairs of various places.
Which family has offered incense to pray for blessings, which family wants to ask for an heir, and which family wants their son to turn back...... This kind of trivial thing is never less. Zhao Ziming was named the city god, mastered the earth's qi, and because of the title of "city god", he had some magical means, and it was not difficult to deal with such a thing.
In addition to these things that took the initiative to pray in the land temple, there were some other things that also fell on Zhao Ziming.
For example, where thieves come out, where murderers flee, and where there are wandering spirits after death...... These things are also for Zhao Ziming to deal with.
Zhao Ziming's troops and generals are numerous, wandering in all directions, and they are extremely well-informed. Characters such as thieves and murderers, although they boasted that they were secretive and escaped properly, and no one could find out, but they all fell into the eyes of Zhao Ziming's wandering soul department scattered everywhere.
Zhao Ziming's wandering soul subordinates are worse in the end. Although he was able to roam during the day, it was with the support of the City God Temple and the earth's qi, and he was quite weak, unable to move stones and trees, let alone immediately restrain those thieves and murderers.
Ordinary people who have not practiced have strong fire and yang energy in their bodies. Zhao Ziming has been cultivating for many years, so he can naturally kill people, but his subordinates are not yet opponents of people with sufficient yang energy.
After Zhao Ziming examined those murderers who had fled after the killing, Zhao Ziming would personally take action and kill them; if there was a reason for the incident, for the purpose of revenge for blood, Zhao Ziming would pass the news to the people in the official office in the capital to know, explain the reason, and let them do their own work.
Zhao Ziming naturally will not let innocent wicked people kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he does not have to wait for the people to arrest them quickly or for officials to take action; those who kill people for the sake of blood revenge are forgivable, but the world has its own laws in the world, and it is necessary for the laws of the world to deal with them.
Zhao Ziming sent a message to his dream, and the officials in the world were in awe of this invisible existence, and they would not judge indiscriminately.
Those thieves, Zhao Ziming also told the officials who left the capital to arrest them quickly, and let them arrest them themselves.
As for the wandering spirits who are in turmoil after death, they will be taken down by the wandering tribes at the moment, and they will wait for Zhao Ziming's fate.
If it is not very harmful, he will be punished with hard labor, secretly loosen the soil and carry water for the people's fields, and secretly take care of the livestock, chickens, and dogs raised by the people; if the harm is so serious that it even endangers the lives of the living, then they will be directly torn apart and eaten to strengthen the people.
But there is also a reasonable division in such things: some wandering spirits who make trouble after death are because they were wronged and persecuted during their lifetime, and they have deep resentment after death, so they turn around and take revenge. The spirit that causes chaos for this reason cannot be dealt with in the same way as other spirits, and the joints must be clarified before being disposed of.
In addition to these, there are a bunch of other things to fall on Zhao Ziming to do: those who died of illness or accident died after death must be detained by Zhao Ziming and dealt with according to the good and evil and good crimes before death;
There are laws in the world, and Zhao Ziming, as the "righteous god of the city", also has his own laws. The two sets of laws do not interfere with each other, but it is not the end of the matter after death, and there is a reckoning of Zhao Ziming's existence in the dark.
The powers, laws, and responsibilities in this are all clearly explained by Xu Qi to Zhao Ziming. Zhao Ziming did not dare to slack off, and always weighed the things he handled many times, and tried to be error-free.
Fortunately, Zhao Ziming is a ghost and a god, so he doesn't have to eat and sleep, otherwise he would have collapsed a long time ago.
This hard work is not without reward: within a hundred miles of the capital, everyone knows that the city god in the capital is extremely effective, with insight, and the traitor escaped from the government, but he couldn't escape the eyes of this city god. Even if you have the courage to sacrifice your whole body to kill people, set fires, and rob property, after being killed by the government, you have to suffer it again in the city god.
Because of this, within 100 miles of the capital under the jurisdiction of Zhao Ziming, it has settled down like never before. Although there are thieves who steal chickens and dogs from time to time, they dare not challenge this city god who can see everything in the dark, reward good and punish evil.
The people believe in the City God, the City God Temple is full of incense, and the power of faith is endless.
Zhao Ziming was worshiped by the power of faith and incense, and he became stronger day by day, and he was no longer the little ghost king who would be persecuted by the Jindan monks that day.
Whenever he feels that he is a little stronger, Zhao Ziming can't help but think of the first time he met the first time.
If it weren't for the first seat that day, how could we have achieved today?
Listening to the reports of the subordinates on the news and affairs of various places, Zhao Ziming suddenly caught a little strange and asked, "What's going on with the Wuliuji matter?" ”
Wuliuji is a hundred miles away from the capital and is not under the jurisdiction of Zhao Ziming. However, these five willow markets are only a line away from the place under Zhao Ziming's jurisdiction, and they can be regarded as a market on the edge of the "border" of the place under Zhao Ziming's jurisdiction.
Xu Qi slaughtered within a hundred miles of the capital and uprooted Qingyunguan, which really made the immortal forces in the surrounding towns feel terrified. Although none of them understood the words, the various sect forces around them knew very well in their hearts that they would not stretch out their hands to the "Jiuyang Old Demon".
As for the hundreds of miles away, the forces of the various sects are still doing their own things.
Wuliuji is the sphere of influence of an immortal sect called "One Yuan Guan".
The root of the monistic view is a sect of immortal Taoism called "One Yuan Dao". This sect does not have a true immortal inheritance, and it is not considered the top level in the immortal path, but its strength is not bad, and it can be regarded as a well-known immortal sect under the immortal sect of the true immortal inheritance.
The strength of Yiyuanguan in the surrounding area is not small, and the dojo is spread over more than a dozen towns and three county seats. On weekdays, there are many believers, and they have a lot of fields and minerals.
It stands to reason that the affairs of Wuliuji should not have been worried about by Zhao Ziming. In any case, it was not his jurisdiction, and he had no reason to extend his hand.
If other sects don't act rashly, Zhao Ziming will take care of this capital within 100 miles with peace of mind. This is the direction that Xu Qi had set for him before, and Zhao Ziming had no intention of expanding outward.
But now these five willows have concentrated on one thing, which makes Zhao Ziming have some other thoughts.
The leader of the Wandering Soul Department who reported the matter of Wuliuji seemed to attach some importance to this matter, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "The people of Wuliuji are envious of the smooth weather and safety of the villages and towns under the rule of the City God, so they spontaneously built the temples and statues of the City God, burned incense and prayed for blessings, and asked for the protection of the City God. ”
But this incident alarmed the Taoist priest of the One Yuan Temple. They sent men to destroy temples and statues, and to rebuke the people for their faith...... Worship evil gods and obscenities. The people did not want to sit idly by, and there was a dispute. During the dispute, several Taoist priests killed the presiding officer of the temple and the four people who were trying to resist, and defiled them into ...... Dirt is ......"
Speaking of this, the Wandering Soul Soldier was stunned, looking at the face of Chenghuang Zhao Ziming, and did not dare to continue.
Zhao Ziming's face remained unchanged and said, "Go on, it's okay." ”
The Spirit Soldier emboldened himself and continued, "They killed people, and they also defiled the people who were killed as demons and evil tribesmen, saying that they were innocent of death. ”
"Hmm...... Evil gods and evil people...... Okay, good, good......"
The anger in Zhao Ziming's heart was rushing upward, but he didn't attack it.
Although it is wrong to say that he is an "evil god and obscenity", Zhao Ziming can understand the views in the hearts of those "immortal and upright" people, and he doesn't want to discuss theories with them. But saying "demon and evil tribes" is a big taboo for Zhao Ziming, which makes him angry in his heart.
If it is aimed at himself, Zhao Ziming can laugh it off and not bother with it.
But the statement of this "demon and evil tribe" has insulted the first seat of his own family!
Regardless of the identity of the Confucian sect of the first seat of the family, and no matter whether the disciple of the first seat of the family has become the first seat of the Confucian sect, which one of the things that the first seat does in the capital is not thought of by ordinary people?
It is precisely because of the various arrangements of the first seat of their own house that the capital Baili has a new look under his own rule, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and giving them a peaceful world.
Now that the first one of his family has been defiled as a demon, how can Zhao Ziming not be angry in his heart.
Suppressing his anger, Zhao Ziming asked, "What about the five Wuliuji people who were killed?
The wandering soul said, "Their souls wander and have nowhere to go." Less than seven days after his death, he was not killed by the sun. ”
"Good. Zhao Ziming nodded and said, "If you can't get the ground qi of Wuliuji, you can't go over during the day...... Bring some men and bring them tonight in the night. They died because of me, and I want to give them an account. ”
"Yes. The geist commanded.
After skimming over this matter, Zhao Ziming listened to the rest of the things, arranged the charter, and finally handled the affairs at hand.
After a little sense, Zhao Ziming ordered: "You are here to keep watch, and the people who come to pray for incense have written down everything one by one." I'll do the theory when I get back. ”
After speaking, Zhao Ziming left from the statue of the city god, invisible and without a trace, out of the city god temple.
After flying through the capital for more than ten breaths, Zhao Ziming came to the sky above Guozijian.
The Confucian scholars in the Guozijian have some cultivation, which is not as good as ordinary people. Zhao Ziming's methods of concealing his deeds can hide from ordinary people, but he can't hide from these Confucian scholars with heroic and righteous spirit.
But they also knew who it was, and even if they sensed the breath similar to a soul, they didn't care.
The existence of Zhao Ziming in the city god is known to the Confucian students in the Confucian sect.
Zhao Ziming slowly fell down in a courtyard in the Guozi Prison, showed his true body, and arched his hand: "Zhao Ziming asks to see Mr. Chu." ”
