Chapter 162 The Goddess Dragged Away by Yun Zhongjun (-word chapter, please vote)

at night.

Fu County.

After the Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger and the Whistle Ghost Messenger left, the calm and composed look of the charlatan immediately collapsed. The two of them looked at the surging river, feeling uneasy.

However, the two of them still talked about business first.

"Is that right? It's within these few days?"

"Within five days, the water will definitely recede, and it will just recede to the location where we sank the Jade Girl Statue, exposing it."

"That's good."

"I have no problem here, have you finished yours? Is the position of the jade girl statue correct? Don't make a mistake."

"I have always done things properly, how could I have made a mistake?"

The two men walked along the river for a while and came to the same position as during the day. They looked at the water level again and nodded.

However, at this time the whistle ghost spoke again.

"Aren't we here to die?"

The copper bell ghost turned his head and glanced at the whistle ghost.

"Then you go back?"

The last time the two failed to complete the task, although they finally put the blame on the plague ghost, they were still punished.

So this time they were sent to Yunyang County again to complete the task that was not completed last time.

The Whistle Ghost Messenger said: "Who is the witch in the Cloud Temple? You and I have seen her before. She can summon a thunderbolt from the sky to destroy a city with just a wave of her hand. Let's run over here and fight her."

After saying this, the whistle ghost spoke viciously.

"Isn't that just an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?"

He used the most ferocious tone and said the most cowardly words.

The people here at most ran to several other counties to see the scene of Baxia crossing the river, or the scene of monks chanting incantations to communicate with the underworld and liberate the souls of the dead.

They thought that the witch was only powerful enough on the Yangtze River and could chant spells to send the dead to hell.

They are not the same.

They both saw clearly how the plague ghost died.

Once a divine thunder strikes, no matter how many people you have, it will be of no use.

They had fled from Yinzhou in a hurry and did not want to face the witch again.

The whistle ghost: "This is really a life-threatening job. You will die if you do it, and you will die if you don't do it."

The ghost messenger with the bronze bell: "Who said he was dead?"

Whistle Ghost: "What should we do then?"

The Ghost Messenger with the Bronze Bell: "Isn't it that what we are best at is surviving death?"

The whistle ghost was shocked: "You and I actually have such talent, how come I didn't know about it?"

The Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger said, "Our mission here is to use the Jade Maiden Statue to coerce the witches under the seat of the Goddess of Wushan to start a rebellion. We only need to start the rebellion here, and then immediately return, saying that we are going back to lead the army to respond to Yunyang County."

"When the matter is done, we will have the credit."

"If it didn't work out, we would have run away long ago."

"What? Are you still going to rush to the front and take the lead?"

"I can give you a stick and ask you to attack the city."

The whistle ghost: "That's right, we will leave after the incident, without a moment's delay."

The two men were ready to repeat their old tricks, and when one of them saw that the situation was not good, he sold out all the witches and shamans of the Wushan Goddess.

"Besides, we are different this time."

The two returned to their residence, which was a small courtyard by the river. They walked into the courtyard leisurely and in a good mood.

One rings the bell and the other blows the whistle.

Immediately, two mandrills, one tall and one short, walked out of the bamboo forest behind the yard.

The two mandrills followed the two men's bells and whistles obediently, as if they were their own arms.

"If something goes wrong and the witch really comes, we can ride on the mandrills. With their speed like a galloping horse, it will not be easy to escape."

"That's right, that's right. Can't we outrun them?"

What to do when facing a tiger?
As long as you are not the last one running, it will be fine.

Seeing the baboon that the Taoist master gave them again this time, the Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger and the Whistle Ghost Messenger suddenly felt a strong sense of security and had the confidence to do things.

The bronze bell ghost laughed loudly, as if everything was under control.

"Although we have a perfect plan, we are probably overthinking it. Why would the witch come here?"

The whistle ghost nodded repeatedly, and recalled the last time the two of them escaped from Yinzhou like the sons of destiny.

"We are brothers, we are blessed with good fortune and luck. We will definitely get all the benefits this time, and nothing will happen to us."
-
Danlong.

In the cabin's cinema.

Jiang Chao sat in the protagonist seat in the second to last row, looking at a map on the screen. On the complex map, one could see a winding red line, which was the route taken by the locator.

The locator left behind by Wangshu only has the ability to track and trace, and has no other functions.

Therefore, there is no way of knowing what the copper bell ghost and the whistle ghost did along the way.

It was not even clear whether the bronze bell was still on the two men, but as soon as Wangshu started tracking along this route, he had already found preliminary traces of the mandrill.

Now the hydrological survey has been completed and we are ready to call upon the dragons to send out a large number of drones and electric baton ghost and god special forces to encircle and suppress the mandrills.

It seemed to no longer matter whether the two ghost officials were dead or alive or where they were.

but.

Jiang Chao still retrieved the route of the locator and took a look at it, then he discovered the problem.

Jiang Chao: "These two people from the Five Ghosts have been going around in circles, and it seems that they have come back in the past two days?"

Wangshu: "Yes, I'm back. Look, I'm in Fu County!"

Jiang Chao: "You didn't catch them?"

Wangshu: "They are not mandrills, what's the point of catching them?"

Jiang Chao: "You really only have the mandrill in your eyes!"

Wangshu: "How can the two of them compare to the mandrill."

Jiang Chao: "Can't you be sent to the underworld and become a demon? Don't you want your factory hell anymore?"

Wangshu: "We spent so much resources to come here and catch mandrills. The two of them are not even worth the electricity and gas money."

It turns out that when the value of the evil ghost is not as much as the electricity bill, it can escape from Wangshu's clutches.

Jiang Chao felt something was wrong.

The ghost officials of the Five Ghosts are no different from ordinary disciples of any Taoist sect, and the things they do are not simple.

He remembered that the last time, these two ghost officials from the Five Ghosts went to Jingu County and directly took control of the entire Jingu County.

He even wanted to extend his influence to Xihe County and Lucheng, and it could be said that he had already accomplished half of his goal by using his ability to spread the plague.

And its purpose.

The purpose is to disrupt Yinzhou and the high-ranking officials in Lucheng, especially the Prince of Lucheng and his son.

However, the plan had just begun when it was buried by a Jingzhe divine thunder.

And this time, these two people came here again, probably to cause some trouble again.

"Isn't the Fuxian community temple already complete? Send in the local drones to investigate these two people and see what's going on."

Yun Zhongjun's decree was immediately conveyed to the Digong of Fu County. The antenna on the temple started to rotate, and the dormant drone took off immediately, searching for the location of the positioning signal.

Soon, the picture was transmitted back.

As soon as the picture appeared, it immediately attracted Jiang Chao's attention. Wangshu immediately looked at the bronze bell ghost and the whistle ghost.

Lian Wangshu also came in from outside the picture and looked at the two people in the picture.

Jiang Chao: "Oh, they came out, it turned out to be the two of them."

Wangshu: "Oh, I see. Two adult mandrills were found."

At this time, Jiang Chao adjusted his view to the two ghostly figures hidden in the night in the distant forest.

The sensible ghost messengers of the Five Ghosts have come again to deliver mandrills to Fairy Wangshu.

Fairy Wangshu: "Send a medium-sized drone over immediately to shoot these two evil guys to death and send them to hell as soon as possible."

When there were no mandrills just now, Fairy Wangshu did not have this attitude.

Wangshu: "How is that the same? If we kill these two evil villains, wouldn't it be a natural thing to confiscate their mandrills?"

Jiang Chao: "Don't be in a hurry. Let's see what they are going to do. If we shoot them now, what if they have some conspiracy to cause chaos in Jinzhou and Yinzhou and it breaks out, won't it be even more troublesome?"

"Besides, if we keep them here, wouldn't it be easier for us to follow the clues and find out the situation of the Five Ghosts Sect? We can even find out where the Five Ghosts Sect keeps the mandrills."

Wangshu: "Then send Ghost God No. 1 and Ghost God No. 2 over first to confiscate their mandrills and train them as soon as possible so that they can be transformed into ghost gods and be used as soon as possible."

So, it was settled.

Wangshu: "Don't shoot these two people yet, but confiscate their tools."

Jiang Chao: "These two people haven't started using these two mandrills to commit crimes yet, can they be called tools for committing crimes?"

Wangshu: "Then use the reason of illegal possession of weapons of mass destruction."

Jiang Chao was still wondering whether the mandrill could be considered a weapon of mass destruction.

But thinking about the huge commotion and terrifying effect the first mandrill caused in Yunbi Mountain, it seems that it can barely be counted as such.

And this time.

Wangshu also took out a bag of something that looked like laundry detergent from his pocket and showed it in front of Jiang Chao.

Just like that, she lifted it up, raised her index finger, and showed it in all directions.

It seemed as if there was not only Jiang Chao in the cinema, but the cinema was full of people.

His expression was haughty, and he looked down upon the surroundings with a frown.

It seems to be saying who is against and who is in favor.

Jiang Chao finally understood what Wangshu had just said.

"..."

At this moment, Wangshu in Jiang Chao's eyes seemed to have changed into a Greek-style cloak wrapped around his body, and the hand holding what looked like a laundry detergent bag seemed to be holding a torch high.

Jiang Chao said: "This doesn't seem to be the line of a positive character?"

Wangshu: "Then I must be standing in the wrong place."

Jiang Chao: "Then where do you want to stand?"

Wangshu: "I should be standing under the naval guns, with warships stacked up behind me and planes swarming overhead."

Jiang Chao: "It's obvious that you are not the one holding weapons of mass destruction, right?"

Wangshu: "I am holding weapons of mass destruction for the sake of justice."

on the screen.

The halo behind the righteous Wangshu's head shone brightly, and Jiang Chao was blinded by the righteous light.

For a moment, Jiang Chao couldn't look straight.

Soon, the door of the warehouse behind the Danlong slowly opened. From a distance, it looked like the portcullis of an ancient fortress slowly lowering.

As the door opened, the shadows of Ghost No. 1 and Ghost No. 2 gradually appeared behind them.

At this moment.

The aura of these two ghosts is completely different from before, or it can be said that they are not recognizable as mandrills at all.

One of the ghosts is still wearing a black helmet and a ponytail, but he is wearing a combat suit similar to armor, but the shape is streamlined.

He was carrying a thick black object with a dragon carved on it on his back, which was suspected to be a rocket launcher.

The other ghost god had been seen before. He was wearing a ghost god military uniform. The antenna on the black helmet on his head had turned into a hat wing, and he held an electric baton in his hand that turned into a nine-section whip.

A small Ba Xia-type transport ship came in the distance and stopped in front of the hatch of the cargo hold. The two ghosts stepped onto the transport ship and set off.
-
On the river bank.

The trackers were leaning towards the ground in a posture almost crawling on the ground, with the tow ropes pressing tightly on their shoulders and backs, extending towards the ship in the distance.

The trackers took a step forward and shouted in unison.

"Step on the stone, ho-ho!"

"Hand-shovel the sand, hi!"

"Naked, hi!"

"Climb up, hi!"

Along with the ups and downs of the river, the tone seems to become more and more varied.

The chants do have a purpose; the trackers rely on them to agree to work together and adjust the rhythm.

Because towing is a job that requires the cooperation of everyone, if one person fails to coordinate well, the boat may be destroyed and people may die.

The trackers were in a pretty good mood, because the rocky stretch of river beach beneath their feet was the easiest way to walk during the towing process, even though their shoulders and backs were rubbed raw, and even though their straw sandals rubbed their feet raw and the rocks cut their skin.

This is still the best day so far.

"Step on the stone!"

"Ho-hi!"

Sweat dripped densely from their foreheads and bare arms onto the stones. The trackers looked at the ground and shouted the trackers' songs together, even with a faint smile on their faces.

It seems that everyone has had their backbones broken and their edges smoothed by life, or they have become familiar with this hard life and are no longer in the mood to think about the future or living. Being able to relax for a moment is enough to make them happy.

The water level on the mudflats near Fu County has recently begun to drop at an extremely rapid rate.

The boatmen on both sides of the strait also talked about this incident when they passed by here.

“The water receded so quickly.”

"It's only right that the flood season is over."

"But the water level near Fu County has dropped so much. The last time we were pulling the boat, we were walking on the upper side."

The trackers were talking while taking a break, and looking up, they saw that the water level had dropped to form a staircase.

Not far from the harbor, in a bay with the most traffic, a group of people gathered there at this moment.

There were boats coming and going on the river which was so vast that one could not see the other end in the distance. After the group of people came here and took a look, they left.

"tomorrow."

"Looks like it should be tomorrow."

"Is everything arranged?"

"Everything has been arranged. There will be no mistakes."

Among them were the copper bell ghost and the whistle ghost of the Five Ghosts. The two ghosts looked at the boat trackers, who were also the targets they wanted to incite this time.

In the name of the Goddess of Wushan, he stirred up the anger in these people's hearts and ignited the entire Jinzhou, turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

By the next morning, there were more people around the bay.

These people did not gather here, but just kept coming and going near this bay, walking past it again and again.

The two men had planned everything and were just waiting for the water to recede so that the Jade Goddess statue in the water would be revealed.

By then, the boatmen, merchants, common people, farmers and fishermen passing by will be able to see the "goddess" slowly emerging from the water, which will have a strong impact on the people here.

Even if it doesn't happen, it doesn't matter.

The people arranged by the two men will immediately shout and yell to create a strong atmosphere and force an impact.

Let the boatmen, fishermen and common people on both sides of the river, as well as the tribes in the mountains, all know that the Goddess of Wushan has come to the world to bless the world.

In addition, there is the nursery rhyme that was circulating in Jinzhou not long ago.

"The Jade Lady blesses us, the nine states come together, and the world becomes one."

The meaning is quite concise and clear, as if afraid that people would not understand. It means that the Jade Maiden Statue is about to be born, and those who are blessed by the Goddess of Wushan can make the divided Nine Provinces become one again.

And the various forces they have won over jumped out together to wave their flags and cheer.

Raise your arms and shout.

Immediately, there was an earth-shaking earthquake.

The entire Jinzhou was in turmoil.

Under the rising sun.

The Tongling Ghost Messenger looked at the water and said with a smug look on his face: "Today is the day to accomplish great things."

The whistle ghost also sang along: "Today is the day."

Now everything is ready, and the water level is dropping little by little until it reaches the designated position.

Everyone stared at the river, walked back and forth, but found nothing.

Someone came over and asked, "It's already noon."

The two ghost officials sat on the fishing platform and said, "Wait a little longer."

Don't panic, everything is under control.

When the ghost disciples and the witch from Yunyang County saw the two men like this, they immediately calmed down.

"The two ghost messengers have already calculated the time and said it is today, so they must be right."

"It looks like the time is not right yet!"

The servants dressed up as wandering Taoists, doctors with banners, and peddlers carrying loads on their shoulders, and walked that road several times.

His clothes were soaked with sweat again and again, his lips were cracked and chapped, and as the sun continued to set, he couldn't help but ask.

"It's already afternoon."

"wait."

The two ghost officials were still sitting under the straw hut calmly, out of the sun, with a boy fanning them.

The crowd had no choice but to go back and walk that road again.

Gradually, the golden sun approached the river and its color turned red.

The crowd asked again: "The sun is about to set."

Now, the two ghost officials seemed to be unable to sit still. They opened their eyes and looked into the distance from time to time, but they were still strong and calm.

"Wait a minute." Everyone finally couldn't help it. They had been sunbathing for a whole day, and these two guys just kept saying this.

"Wait a minute, there's no one here, is there any point in us wandering around here?"

The two ghost officials looked as if they wanted everyone to stay calm.

The whistle ghost spoke up: "If you said it was today, then it is today. But we didn't say it was daytime, so isn't night today as well?"

The Tongling Ghost almost nodded: "It doesn't matter, even if she comes out at night, it will be the same when everyone comes out tomorrow morning to see the goddess coming to the world."

Everyone said, "That way, it won't be as shocking as being in front of so many people."

The Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger: "There is nothing we can do about it. The weather is not something that mortals like us can control."

With no other choice, everyone could only go back and continue to wait by the river, waiting for the jade statue of the Goddess of Wushan to be born.

However, everyone just stared at the water for the whole night, and in their drowsiness and confusion, the sun rose from behind them.

When everyone looked underwater again, there was nothing.

Now, the crowd became completely agitated, especially the witches and shamans from Yunyang County.

"We were fooled."

"Those two guys are lying to us. They don't even know where the Jade Girl Statue is."

"Let's go find them."

The crowd ran to the straw hut with ferocious looks, as if they were going to eat the two Taoists from the Five Ghosts alive.

But I ran over to take a look.

Those two ghost messengers from the Five Ghosts had already run away.

There were only two straw men there. No wonder when they looked back at night, they saw the two men sitting there motionless!

It's just that the two of them ran away.

The other Five Ghosts who didn't have time to escape were in trouble.
-
The water receded, but the jade statue of the Wushan Goddess never appeared.

Long before everyone was waiting for that earth-shattering moment, Yun Zhongjun dragged the jade girl statue away.

The two ghost messengers from the Five Ghosts that everyone was looking for angrily had already escaped back to the courtyard where they lived.

The two men no longer had the calmness and composure they had when they were under the straw hut, ordering people to investigate again and report back. They ran while blaming each other.

The Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger fell behind and was extremely angry when he saw the Whistle Ghost Messenger who was running the fastest in front of him.

"This, damn it."

"Where is the jade statue?"

"Didn't they reserve the location long beforehand, calculate the water level rise and fall in advance, and arrange everything several days ago?"

The whistle ghost did not slow down at all, and it seemed that he had left the bronze bell ghost far behind.

"Yes, where is the jade statue?"

The bell ghost: "I'm asking you, and you're asking me?"

Whistle Ghost Messenger: "I don't know either. How come it's gone?"

The Tongling Ghost Messenger said, "Didn't you say to bury it at the designated location? I have told you so many times that after you bring the Jade Girl Statue here, you can just sink it at that location."

"Why is there nothing?"

The whistle ghost: "I guess the water was too high and I was washed downstream. It's not my fault. Didn't you tell me to just sink to the position I was in?"

The Tongling Ghost Messenger said: "Bullshit, you must have put it in the wrong place."

The whistle ghost: "How is that possible? I clearly put it down in the position you said. Weren't you still watching from the shore at that time?"

The Tongling Ghost Messenger was so angry that he was about to go mad, but at this time he could only swallow it.

"What's the point of saying this now? Those people want to eat us alive. We can't stay here. We have to leave quickly."

The whistle ghost said: "If we retreat, we will die. The Taoist master will kill us both when we return."

The Tongling Ghost Messenger said: "If you stay here, you will die today. Run back first. We will think of a solution after we return."

"We both have mandrills in our hands. It's not easy to kill us. At worst, we can run away with the mandrills. There is no place where we can't enjoy delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

The whistle ghost: "That's fine."

Indeed, there are quite a few mandrills raised in the Five Ghosts Path.

However, there are only a few mandrills that are well-trained and can obey human commands accurately. Most mandrills live in deep mountains and forests. They are ferocious and difficult to tame, and cannot obey human commands at all.

Only a few mandrills that have been selected and trained since childhood and continuously domesticated can understand human commands and use them as easily as human arms. Even so, mandrills often retaliate.

Therefore, the two of them holding these two mandrills, in a sense, are holding two important forces of the Five Ghosts.

Even if something goes wrong, we will be qualified to negotiate and handle it when we return.

Even if we take a step back and do what they said, at least we can run away with the mandrill.

The two hurried back and started packing their things as soon as they entered the yard.

Then they ran out impatiently, facing the woods behind them, one of them took out the copper bell from his waist, and the other grabbed the ghost whistle around his neck.

"Ding-ling-ling-ling."

“Beep, beep!”

But after ringing the bell for a long time and blowing the whistle until his cheeks were sore, there was no movement in the woods.

The two became anxious and ran into the woods to look for it, but they found that the mandrill had disappeared without a trace.

The scene was just like when the shamans from Yunyang County ran to the straw hut and found the two ghost messengers who had disappeared without a trace.

The two ghost officials felt cold all over, angry and anxious, and stood in the woods at a loss as to what to do.

"what happened?"

"Where's our mandrill?"

"They ran away. These two guys ran away too."

"This beast actually dared to betray us."

The Bronze Bell Ghost and the Whistle Ghost were both furious and believed that the mandrill must have run away on its own. They were very experienced in this kind of thing.

The whistle ghost: "Are you going back?"

The Tongling Ghost Messenger said: "How can we go back? Without the mandrill, we will really die if we go back."

On the other side, a ghost was walking in front, wearing strange armor and pushing through the jungle bushes.

A ghost was walking at the back, holding an electric baton and driving two mandrills. If one of them was disobedient, the whip would fall on the two mandrills.

"Zizi!"

Looking at the two mandrills again, they were already wearing ghost helmets and walking obediently in the middle.

When they came out of the mountain, a small Ba Xia came out from the river in the distance to greet them.

that's it.

The new mandrills embarked on the journey of receiving job training.
-
On board the Danlong.

Jiang Chao watched as two mandrills were escorted over and entered the warehouse wearing ghost helmets. Also recovered with them were a number of Yellow Springs Boats and drones, which were neatly placed in the warehouse for charging.

Jiang Chao looked at the two mandrills, one tall and one short: "Should we send them back or keep them here?"

Wangshu: "Why don't you send it back yet? Maybe it will be useful soon."

"Besides, there is no suitable place to breed them in large numbers if we send them back. We will definitely capture a large number of mandrills next. Mandrills have been growing here for generations for a long time and are more suitable for this place."

"Although changing to another place may not necessarily cause acclimatization problems, it is better than here. In the future, we should concentrate on breeding and training here!"

Jiang Chao looked at Wushan and nodded.

"That means we are going to build a mandrill breeding center in Wushan?"

Wangshu: "That's right. After surveying the hydrology and topography, we will start to capture mandrills and select a location at the same time."

Through the process of catching the mandrill, Jiang Chao and Wangshu had a preliminary understanding of the situation here and understood what the Five Ghosts were going to do here.

Speaking of which, this matter is related to them.

The witch of the Yangtze River God who died at that time had a close relationship with the witches here. After Jiang Chao and Wangshu sent Baxia, temple priests and soul-guiding monks here.

Most of these witches who believed in the God of the Yangtze River were liquidated and their temples were demolished.

This situation also made the witches and shamans in other counties of Jinzhou terrified. In addition, the temple priest who had just been sent to Yunyang County had just taken office, and his actions were extremely swift, which was somewhat like a new official making three major moves upon taking office.

This makes these people feel even more insecure.

Moreover, many counties in this area have suffered from floods and rainstorms, food production has decreased, and people are uneasy. The Northern Dynasties and Bashu also have some concerns.

The people from the Five Ghosts seized the opportunity and brought the jade statue of the Wushan Goddess, which had long fallen into their hands, to Yunyang County, preparing to start the rebellion from here.

Jiang Chao withdrew his gaze from the mandrill and walked to the other side of the deck.

"What should we do next in Fu County?"

Now that I know the situation here and happen to be here, I should deal with it.

If nothing is done now, the entire Jinzhou and Yinzhou will be reduced to a sea of ​​fire, and Wangshu’s prediction that his investment would go down the drain will really come true.

It was considered an early discovery, and because the Five Ghosts and the witches under the seat of the Goddess of Wushan were unable to make the statue of the Goddess of Wushan appear in the world, the plan of the uprising suffered setbacks from the very beginning and could not be carried out.

However, once this kind of thing starts, there is no way to stop it. Jiang Chao predicts that there will be more troubles in the future.

Wangshu: "All of them will go to hell."

Jiang Chao: "I shouldn't have asked you."

Wangshu: "This is the simplest and most direct method. Just sweep it away. Why do you always choose the most troublesome solutions?"

"Don't you hate trouble the most? Why do you always make the most troublesome choice at this time?"

Wangshu suddenly realized: "Oh, is this Yunzhongjun's sense of ritual?"

Jiang Chao: "Your approach is the simplest, but also the most destructive, and will bring more trouble later."

“It takes time to get things done. It’s troublesome in the early stages, but things will be much simpler in the later stages.”

"I call this preventing trouble before it happens."

The situation in Yunyang County and Fu County is very complicated. It's not just the witches and shamans, there are also so many boatmen, miners, and mountain tribes, all of whom believe in the Goddess of Wushan.

Therefore, the key to solving the problem lies initially in the Goddess of Wushan.

Of course, the most critical and core issue is that many places in Jinzhou have been hit by disasters, and the boatmen, miners, and tribal people on both sides of the strait have become so miserable that it is difficult for them to continue living.

It's like a powder keg that could explode at any time, searching everywhere for that spark.

It's just that this problem needs to wait until the next step to be solved.

step by step.

Jiang Chao returned to the cabin, walked down the stairs, and when he got downstairs, what caught his eye was a statue of a jade girl placed in the corner.

After bringing the jade statue back, Jiang Chao and Wangshu really treated it as a decoration.

But at this moment, Jiang Chao knew the origin of the jade girl statue, and he felt a little different when he looked at it again.

"It is indeed a statue of the Wushan Goddess, but it is not an ordinary jade statue."

"I heard from those two people that this statue was made by a master craftsman when the King of Chu visited Wushan Mountain to worship the Wushan Goddess in ancient times. It is indeed an antique with a history and great historical value."

Since the key to the problem lies with the Goddess of Wushan, Jiang Chao looked at this lifelike statue and suddenly had an idea.

"Since they all believe that this statue has magical powers, it is the incarnation of the Wushan Goddess."

"Well, how about we use it for once?"

Wangshu: "How to use it?"

Jiang Chao: "Aren't they going to use the power of the Wushan Goddess to create some nursery rhymes and prophecies to start a rebellion? Then we will destroy what they rely on right in front of them."
-
Fu County.

In front of the temple of the Wushan Goddess, a group of witches and shamans gathered together, arguing and quarreling endlessly.

These people were somewhat panicked and at a loss.

Some witches roared and looked at others angrily.

"Where is the Jade Maiden Statue? Didn't she say that today is the auspicious time to do something great?"

There were also people who slapped the low table next to the couch and looked at others with vicious eyes.

"What the hell? We're all ready, and now you're quitting?"

"It's almost like a big mess on my end. A big mistake."

At this time, one of the witches at the head spoke up.

"Who said they were quitting? Something went wrong. Who could have predicted this?"

There was a lot of discussion below.

"Who could have predicted that? I've long said that the two ghost messengers from the Five Ghosts are unreliable."

"These outsiders come here to cheat us. What real skills do they have?"

"He said he figured out the location of the Jade Maiden Statue, and you believed him."

As they talked, everyone looked up at the witches and shamans at the top, implying that they were responsible for what happened this time.

At this time, some people stood up to defend him.

"The Five Ghosts are very powerful in Bashu, and they have many talented people under their command. You all know that many of them have suffered losses at their hands. How can it be justified by the excuse of swindling? You don't know whether they have real abilities or not."

"That's right. Let's not talk about anything else. Just take the two men who came this time. One of them brought a mandrill with him. That thing can tear tigers and leopards apart alive. It's very scary."

"Besides this mandrill, the Five Ghosts have many other methods. How can they not be feared?"

"So, it's not our fault."

Someone echoed: "That's right, that's right."

Someone below was angry: "Whose fault is it? If things turn out this way, someone has to be held accountable, right?"

Things haven't even started yet and it's already a mess.

Just like the quarrel between the two ghost officials when they ran away, they were also arguing over the same things here, blaming each other and then turning into cursing.

Judging from the situation, he is even worse than the copper bell ghost and the whistle ghost.

After arguing for a while, everyone finally remembered these two guys.

"Those two ghost messengers from the Five Ghosts must have escaped."

"These two are not human beings. They cheated us and ran away."

"Tell me, what exactly are these two people trying to do? They come here to cheat people, and then turn around and leave. What do they want?"

"What else could they want? They first tricked us into starting a rebellion in the name of the Jade Girl Statue, and then ran away after we were on the boat and couldn't get off."

"Should we still do this important thing?"

"If we don't do it, how can we not do it now? We are on the boat, how can we get off? Everyone below has been notified, and the news will surely spread soon. If we don't do it, we will be dead."

"We are rebelling. There is no way out. Even if we lose, the imperial court will not spare us."

"How hateful! How hateful! The Five Ghosts are so treacherous and cunning, and they have caused us so much trouble!"

The witches and shamans who had just been cursing at each other suddenly became united in hatred of the enemy and cursed the copper bell ghost, the whistle ghost, and the five ghosts behind them.

At the same time, while cursing the Five Ghosts, everyone gradually realized that they were now grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and an uprising was inevitable, and they had to do it whether they wanted to or not.

Faced with the crisis of death, everyone finally let go of their conflicts and worries, and their hearts became a little more united.

Finally, several witches and shamans sitting at the top spoke.

"Bashu and the Five Ghosts are unreliable. We have also informed the people in the Northern Dynasty, and they have said that as long as we start a rebellion, they will definitely respond and attack Yangcheng."

"Okay, okay, if the Northern Dynasty sends a large number of troops to attack Yangcheng, even if they are just stationed outside the city, the court will not care about us."

"Something went wrong today, so we'll have to set another date. We can't make any mistakes this time."

"Then we will set it for the night of three days from now, in Fu County. The goddess of Wushan will appear and bless us. We have our people in the camp in the parade ground in the city. We will take the opportunity to kill the county governor, control Sun Changshi to start an uprising, use him as a puppet, and seize the armory in the city and the ships in the harbor."

As for why the Goddess of Wushan appeared so punctually, there is no need to elaborate, and the other wizards present did not ask.

Everyone decided on a time and a strategy, and they felt a little more at ease.

"That's right. With the blessing of the Wushan Goddess, we will be able to succeed. The people in the entire Yunyang County, the tribes outside the city, and the boatmen on both sides of the river will follow us. There is no need to worry about failure."

"Yunyang County has been ours since ancient times. It has been passed down from generation to generation for who knows how many years. It is not up to those temple priests who came from nowhere and the gods they invited to the land to have the final say."

"They demolished our temple and then welcomed the local gods they invited in. This is intolerable."

"And the imperial court is getting more and more excessive. First they sent the county magistrate, then they sent soldiers over, and they killed many of our people."

"Many men in the mountains were tricked by them into going down the mountain, and then they never came back."

"It's hateful. A heritage of hundreds or thousands of years has been ruined by these outsiders."

The shamans were filled with indignation, and it seemed that their dissatisfaction with the temple priest had reached its peak.

At the same time, he also showed a strong desire to control the entire Yunyang County and even Jinzhou.

The witches and shamans were already dissatisfied with the court's deepening control over Yunyang County, and they exploded at this moment.

After the matter was done, everyone finally dispersed and rushed to their respective nests.

And the other side.

In the dense forest in the mountains, two Taoists in black robes who looked disheveled were wandering around in the woods, searching for something.

"Jingle Bell."

"Beep!"

The two walked in circles in the mountains, shaking bells as they walked, looking for traces on the ground that might have been left by a mandrill.

But after wandering in the mountains for a whole day, his clothes were scratched and his shoes were worn out, but he still couldn't catch up with the mandrill.

"Did you see anything?"

“I didn’t see anything!”

"Keep looking."

"I can't find it. I'm tired, hungry, and dizzy. I feel black in my eyes and can't see anything."

"I can't see a shit. It's getting dark."

"So what should we do, go out and find a place to eat and get some sleep?"

"Go out! Going out is courting death. If the witches under the seat of the Wushan Goddess see us, especially without the mandrill, they will eat us alive."

There was no other way, the two could only find a cave and start a fire. After the beginning of autumn, the nights gradually became colder, especially in the mountains. The two were shivering with cold and hungry.

But he didn't dare to go out, so he could only hide in the mountains and go looking for the two lost mandrills early tomorrow morning.

Looking forward to it in my heart.

The escaped mandrill was able to come back with a "change of heart".
