"Confessed?"

Jiang Yunzhou was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect this to be the situation in the end.

On his side, Ji Yuan also nodded solemnly, although Zhang Qingyang and the others had not returned yet, but with the connection between the deity and the incarnation, he learned about the situation in the Hebo Temple as soon as possible.

It's just that he also can't understand why the other party didn't even resist and struggle, and directly confessed his guilt in front of everyone?

In this way, there is no possibility of any reversal, and once the crime is confirmed, it will definitely attract the attention of the county guard and even the city.

"At least it's been determined that Hebo here is just a puppet, and there are others who have committed all kinds of sins."

Jiang Yunzhou spoke slowly, the light in his eyes flickering.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan sighed silently, and now he can be sure why the other party has no sins.

Because it is just a puppet that is put on the surface, and the real perpetrator is someone else, all the sins will naturally not fall on him, and the few scattered points can easily be offset by the merits on his body.

After all, he is also a god, and he has done a lot of things over the years, at least he has also blessed the wind and rain, and it is naturally not difficult to accumulate a little merit.

"But in this way, the person behind the curtain will be completely dormant, and it will be difficult to find any trace of him."

Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh, so far the clue was completely broken.

Wanting to interrogate the news about the people behind the scenes in the mouths of Hebo and the temple is tantamount to a dream, and they can be pushed out as substitutes for the dead ghosts, obviously someone believes that they will be tight-lipped.

If you really want that kind of effort, it is better to spend your time and energy in other directions, and maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

"One thing is for sure, the dignitaries in the city should all have inextricable relationships with the Hebo Temple."

He thought about it and said with a slightly sinking face.

As for whether these relationships are good or bad, whether they maintain the most superficial exchange of interests, or secretly act for the tiger, etc., it remains to be verified one by one.

It's just that in the absence of sufficient evidence, even the county government can't directly call everyone for interrogation.

After all, they are all dignitaries and nobles in the city, and each of them is enough to have a great impact on the county, and one carelessness can even cause the entire Linfu County to stop. Disorderly.

At that time, hundreds of innocent people will be implicated and even lose their lives.

Such a huge sin, once it is generated, even a monk at the peak of the Three Realms will not be able to bear it, and he will immediately be burned by karmic fire.

"Next, you need to defend as an offense, and you can't act rashly."

Ji Yuan's eyes flickered, obviously he already had a general response to the future situation.

In the evening of the same day, Zhang Qingyang returned to the county with a group of people, and after seeing Hebo escorted in the prisoner car, as well as twelve temple blessings, the city suddenly boiled.

Countless people gathered outside the county office, shouting for an explanation from the government, but more people fell to the ground and cried bitterly, cursing the indiscriminate officials and wronging the water god who benefited one side.

Some people even coaxed on the side, saying that they were going to smash the water temple on Xiaoyuan Mountain, because they concluded that it was the culprit and framed Hebo, who was admired by everyone.

However, how many of them really think so, and how many people plan to fish in troubled waters to see if they can take advantage of the chaos, only these people themselves know.

However, it is certain that there must be an arrangement of people behind the scenes, which can be regarded as a small counterattack by the other party, which does not make Ji Yuan and the others satisfied.

And after the sun set, even if the county government began to try the case, starting with a famous temple Zhu, he was not even willing to wait for the overnight time, lest something happen during the period.

At the same time, these temple blessings are also extremely cooperative, they will say whatever someone asks, and even take the initiative to tell all the pickled things they have done over the years.

The catchers and officials in the county government almost broke their legs and took it

Confessions that have just arrived, and going back and forth to collect tangible evidence of the crime.

Dozens of murdered civilians and their families have been invited to the county government, and when it is confirmed that this is the case, they will put a pen on their confessions to confirm the crimes they have committed.

It's just that no one expected that after a night's time, only the three temple ministers were interrogated clearly, and the sins committed by the three people alone almost broke their legs from top to bottom of the county government.

On the second day, the inside story of some of the ascension came out, and the shouts in the city suddenly became much quieter, and the people who originally believed in it could not help but begin to waver.

After all, even the temple that is closest to the god has done such an evil thing that angers and resents people, and Hebo, as a god, can't be as clean as a blank piece of paper, right?

While the county government was hearing one case after another, Li Buwei and others in the city also came to the Hebo Temple, guarding Ji Yuan, who was absorbing the power of incense here.

I have to say that for more than 300 years, Hebo has accumulated a lot of heritage, and a large amount of incense has not been used, and all of them are placed in the statues.

Such a large amount of incense wishing power, even if it was not refined, just ingesting it into the golden body had already brought great benefits to Ji Yuan, and the divine power on his body became more and more powerful.

After three days and three nights of ingestion, he had only extracted the incense power from the statue, and at this moment, his golden body was always exuding a rich divine light, and even as soon as he got a little closer to his body, he could feel that he was close to a state of epiphany.

Ji Yuan summoned Li Buwei and the three of them, recruited Zhu Tao from Xiaoyuanshan, and then asked the four of them to sit around him.

He sat cross-legged on a futon and began to refine the huge incense power in his body, and for a while, divine power and Dao rhyme filled the entire main hall.

Li Buwei and the other four people, under the illumination of the overflowing divine light, actually directly entered the state of epiphany, although the effect is relatively weak, but it is also an unavoidable opportunity.

And the reason for this is the incense wish power that Ji Yuan is refining.

In ancient times, there were gods who co-opted believers, and even fought for faith, not hesitating to set off one huge war after another?

What it does is the power of the wishes of many living beings, that is, the power of the wishes of incense.

In addition to strengthening the souls, one of the main uses of the wishes of sentient beings is to provide the state of the shortcut path.

Similar to the realm of epiphany and enlightenment, in this state, the gods were able to feel the Tao of heaven and earth more easily, which is one of the reasons why Shinto flourished at that time.

As long as there is enough willpower, the gods will be able to quickly ascend to their realm.

And another important role of the power of the will is to be able to gather the aura of heaven and earth tenfold, hundredfold, or even thousandfold!
