I am a fairy

Chapter 75 Fighting
On the ox cart, the shaman was sitting with a talisman in his hand.

"Since you said you want to make sure the other party has no chance to return, then you must keep your word."

A mechanical voice came out from the talisman. This "Questioning the Earth Divine Spell" not only described the route of the two people who escaped, but also the situation in the post station clearly, and even repeated the words of those people.

From late at night until dawn.

Asking the Earth God Curse brought a steady stream of specific information about the number of Five Ghosts in the post station, the believers in and outside Jingu County, what kind of arrangements had been made, and what kind of big net had been prepared waiting for their arrival.

The shaman and witch at the side did not move at all, but Taoist He was already stunned.

Only then did he realize that almost everyone in Jingu County had been controlled by the Five Ghosts, and everyone from the county magistrate down obeyed the orders of the Five Ghosts.

No wonder he rushed here from Xihe County, wanting to end the plague, but almost ended up dying.

Taoist He clapped his hands and suddenly understood.

"I was wondering how this demon from the Five Ghosts knew we were coming, and how he got the information so accurately that he was waiting for us halfway."

"It turns out that everyone in Jingu County has become their people."

"The county magistrate sent an official letter to Jingu County to inform me of my coming in advance, but it actually leaked my information."

The witch said: "These people have long had a plan. They set up this plague not only to harm people, but also for other ulterior motives. Now is the time to harvest. You coming here now will ruin their good deeds."

Taoist He: "I thought I was here to save people, but I fell into their trap. Fortunately, the witch came and saved my life."

The witch said: "I am here not only to save you, but also to save the people of Jingu County, and to take away these evil spirits that summoned plague ghosts to harm people."

Taoist He: "Whatever the witch wants to do, just tell me to wait."

The witch said, "I have brought you another batch of herbs and supplies that you need. You will lead everyone to Jingu County early tomorrow morning to cure the plague and save the sick. You must do it in a grand manner and let everyone know."

Taoist He: "Isn't this just walking into a trap? Right now, the scary thing in Jingu County is not just the plague ghosts, but also the officials above and the people below. If the evil man from the Five Ghosts shouts, the entire Jingu County will become our enemy. How can we defeat him?"

But soon, Taoist He also figured it out.

"The witch is trying to let all the people in Jingu County see that they are not the only ones who can cure the plague ghosts. This will alienate the officials and elders of Jingu County from the evil spirits of the Five Ghosts."

Then, Taoist He changed the subject.

"but."

"If this happens, the demon from the Five Ghosts will definitely be furious and want to fight to the death with us."

The wizard nodded and continued.

"That's exactly what I want."

"You go and treat the plague ghosts. If the demons from the Five Ghosts become angry, then you can invite them to fight in an open field right there and then."

Taoist He suddenly realized: "What does the witch want?"

Divine Witch: "Only by gathering these evil spirits together can we catch them all in one fell swoop."

Taoist He was still a little uneasy: "The Divine Witch must be prepared. After all, we are alone here, while the other side has many people and is very powerful."

The witch was worried that He Daoren would be too timid to go, after all, the plan required him to be the bait.

This kind of task is never easy to accomplish and is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, the bait will be eaten by the fish.

So, the wizard also revealed some information.

"I just borrowed a spring thunder from the sky."

After hearing this, Taoist He suddenly felt more confident.

"I can rest assured that."

"How can those demons of the Five Ghosts withstand the thunder from the sky?"
-
It's still dark.

The gate of Jingu County was crowded with people. All of them were kneeling along the street, and many of them were dragging their sick bodies.

“Ah, that hurts!”

"My stomach hurts, and my head hurts too."

"What shall I do?"

"This is because I didn't worship the immortal properly, so I suffered retribution."

Everyone knelt on the ground, staring at the closed city gate, waiting eagerly.

The time has finally arrived.

The city gate rumbled open, and a group of shadows appeared in the darkness outside. Those people were wearing black robes and holding lanterns.

Even if you only see a shadow, you can feel the eerie ghostly aura rushing towards you from afar.

However, what the people in the city shouted was.

"The Immortal is here."

"The Immortal is here."

"Kowtow, kowtow quickly."

The large group of people began to kowtow continuously on the roadside, praying and wailing as they kowtowed.

Some of these people were burning paper money, some were holding high boxes filled with gold, silver and jade, and some were holding up fine brocade.

These are all used to worship the gods and are also their life-saving money.

"Great Immortal, please save us, please save us!"

"I, Gu Dezhao, offer some gold, silver and jewelry. I hope the immortal will use his magical powers to save my family's lives."

"Great Immortal, I am willing to serve you for my whole life, please save me!"

"I don't want to die!"

Eight evil ghosts wearing masks carried the sedan chair, and groups of little ghosts were wandering around it.

And sitting upright in the sedan chair.

It is none other than the plague ghost of the Five Ghosts.

This is not a procession of gods, it is clearly a parade of ghosts.

The people on both sides of the road were in a panic, kowtowing, throwing money, and holding up gold and silver.

In the middle of the road, there was a group of people wearing ghost masks and carrying a sedan chair, swaying and chanting incantations. It was a scene of demons dancing wildly.

When the sedan chair passed by them, countless people bowed down to the ghost on it.

The bell-ringing ghost and the whistle ghost also came, but since they had lost the mandrill this time, their status dropped sharply, and they could only follow on both sides of the sedan chair, like left and right guards.

However, the two men looked unconvinced under their ghost masks, and they kept pouting as they walked.

Sudden.

The sedan stopped.

At this moment, everyone around stopped what they were doing and looked at the ghost sedan in unison.

A light came on inside the sedan, and the shadow became more obvious. The other party raised his hand, and a harsh and sharp voice came out from inside.

"Cold Food Festival is coming!"

"People change fire to worship gods and ghosts."

In ancient times, it was customary to extinguish all fires passed down from the previous year on the Cold Food Festival, which was a fire ban. Then new fire would be taken out by drilling new fires as the starting point of production and life in the new year, which was called changing the fire or inviting new fire.

When changing the fire, a grand ceremony to worship ghosts and gods should be held.

Many people believe that when the old fire is extinguished, ghosts and gods will come into the world and step into the human world.

"At that time, all ghosts and gods will enter the world of the living, and the gates of hell will open wide!"

"I will perform a ritual when the gates of hell open and close, and send the rebellious ghosts back to the underworld."

"Those who worship the Ghost Lord will have their sins forgiven."

"Those who enter my ghost path will be freed from evil obstacles."

The Five Ghosts had been planning for many days, and the Plague Ghost felt that the time was almost right.

With the appearance of the Taoist priest and some kind of witch from Xihe County nearby, the Ghost of Plague felt a sense of crisis. He prepared to speed up the closing of the net and pick the fruit that had already grown rich and plump.

After hearing this, everyone cheered immediately. This endless terror was finally coming to an end. Many people burst into tears and cried bitterly.

At this time, the little ghost on the side was giving medicine to believers on the roadside.

They chose those who were "sincere" and "able to do well", put down the exorcism medicine wrapped in talismans, and took away the gold, silver and treasures they offered.

These people gave up most or even all of their wealth and lives in exchange for a small packet of medicine.

But he bowed again and again with tears of gratitude and thanked again and again.

"Thank you, Great Immortal."

"Thank you, great immortal, for the medicine. I don't have to die anymore. I don't have to die anymore."

"Great Immortal, please save me too. I am sincere and willing to serve you for the rest of my life without any regrets or complaints!"

"I have medicine, I have medicine, hahahaha, I have medicine."

At this time, the sound inside the ghost sedan started moving again.

The light in the sedan came on again, and a ghostly figure was projected on the door curtain, making everyone terrified.

"Sincerity is the key to success. You have received the elixir from the Five Ghosts. You must dedicate your body and soul to the Ghost Master. Those who are not sincere will not be blessed."

"Those who are able to survive must offer sacrifices to the Ghost Master every month and every day, and obey the orders of the Ghost Dao. Those who disobey will be devoured by thousands of ghosts."

The voice of the plague ghost was already sharp, and it became even more shrill as it rose in volume. Coupled with this situation, it made everyone feel terrified.

Everyone put their hands together and chanted together.

"Those who worship the Ghost Lord will have their sins forgiven."

"Those who enter my ghost path will be freed from evil obstacles."

The sound of countless people chanting spells echoed in the streets of Jingu County and surged into the sky.

If you look closely at the road, you will see that there are not only ordinary people in the city, but even a group of county officials kneeling on the side of the road.

The county magistrate, who was the most respected person in Jingu County, knelt in the direction closest to the outside and bowed repeatedly to the ghost sedan chair.

As the ghost sedan passed by, the ghost-exorcising medicine given was not much, not even one in ten.

Most of the "Wuyuan" people did not get the exorcism medicine today. Although they sighed, they also felt a glimmer of hope when they thought of what the "Great Immortal" had said before.

Since the immortal said that on the Cold Food Festival, when the gates of hell open wide, he will perform a ritual to send the plague ghosts back into the underworld.

Then it means.

As long as we can hold on for a while longer, we will be saved.

It seems that the immortal is still merciful.

It’s just that I have committed too many sins, or I have no chance to meet the immortal.

No wonder the immortal.

The ghost sedan drove straight in, and finally, surrounded by the county magistrate, a group of bureaucrats and local nobles, it entered the county office in broad daylight.

With these shows, after just a few days, the influence of the Five Ghosts Sect in Jingu County has grown day by day. As long as they wait until the Cold Food Festival, they can have a grand and hearty ceremony to send away the ghosts that haunt the world, and everything will be done.

The Five Ghosts will completely gain a foothold here and even become the one that has the final say.

After entering the county office, the plague ghost finally got off the sedan chair. A group of bureaucrats and nobles hunched over to welcome him in and let him sit in the main seat.

At this moment, he is more like the master of this place.

After seeing him sit down, everyone did not dare to sit down themselves, but knelt directly on the ground.

At this time, the magistrate of Jingu County spoke.

"Great Immortal!"

"There are many people infected in the county, and the villagers are suffering. Can you give us more medicine?"

However, how could the plague ghost agree to this? If he gave away the medicine now, how would the people of Jingu County know how to be afraid and respectful?

This will have a much worse effect.

Moreover, they had not plundered enough on this trip. With each day that passed, they plundered more wealth.

Everybody is counting on this to make a fortune!
How can this ghost-exorcising medicine be sold at such a low price?

The Ghost of the Plague said: "The miraculous medicine is hard to come by. We only get a little bit every day. I have already used it all."

The magistrate of Jingu County begged desperately, but the plague ghost refused to give it.

At the end of the conversation, the plague ghost became a little annoyed.

Even spoke.

"If your mother hadn't been protected by my Five Ghosts, would she be alive now?"

"You don't think about giving back, and you are greedy."

"If you anger Ghost Master, he will definitely send ghosts and gods to take away the souls of your entire family and banish them to the underworld, where they will never be able to rise again."

After these words were spoken, the magistrate of Jingu County dared not speak any more.

The people from the Five Ghosts placed the ghost sedan in the lobby of the government office, and a group of people walked through the lobby inside.

A few days ago, a group of ghost followers from the Five Ghosts Sect claimed that there was earth energy in the government office, and that the refining of ghost-exorcising medicine required the help of this place, so they occupied this place openly.

Every day he orders the chief clerk and the runners around. Although he is just an outsider with no identity, his authority in Jingu County is growing day by day.

He is not a county magistrate, but he is better than a county magistrate.

I have to say that although this move had ulterior motives, it was very effective.

The plague ghost and the ghost messenger led the "ghosts" inside and stopped.

"Snapped!"

The "ghosts" following behind were caught off guard, but they stopped immediately. Many of them crowded together and luckily did not fall to the ground.

At this time, the plague ghost suddenly smiled triumphantly.

"In a few days, Jingu County will belong to the imperial court in public, but secretly to us."

The other "ghosts" also started laughing, feeling very proud.

Afterwards, the plague ghost spoke to the "left and right protectors" beside him.

"If you two hadn't caused such trouble, after I took Jingu County, I would have used the same trick to take over Xihe and Lucheng counties at the same time, and this mission would have been completed."

"This is all because of you two."

The Bronze Bell Ghost Messenger and the Whistle Ghost Messenger did not dare to say no. Without the mandrill, they lost the confidence to speak.

The whistle ghost expressed his dissatisfaction in a warning tone: "Aren't you worried about the Taoist priests and witches in Xihe County?"

The Tongling Ghost Messenger also looked concerned: "That witch is very powerful, you should be careful."

He had just been worshipped by countless people, and all the officials were standing respectfully before him. The Plague Ghost Official was feeling very proud and triumphant at this moment.

Without even turning his head, he waved his sleeves.

"worry about what?"

"You two were able to easily defeat that group of Taoists from Yun Zhen Dao. They have no special abilities and are just ordinary people."

After talking about Yun Zhendao, he started talking about the gods and witches.

At this time, the plague ghost just frowned slightly.

"The divine wizard you are talking about is a bit troublesome. He has a legacy, but my ghost wizard legacy is not to be trifled with. If they were outside, I would still respect them."

But immediately, he became confident again.

“But now, this is Jingu County.”

"Did you see this scene today?"

"In Jingu County, I have the final say. Everyone is my man. I just accepted them when they came."

"It's just right. It will clear the way for the next step in Xihe County."

The plague ghost spoke loudly, with full confidence and sounding decent. The copper bell ghost and the whistle ghost had nothing to say and their momentum weakened a bit.

When the plague ghost saw this, his eyes showed a bit of complacency and he seemed even more arrogant.

This was the effect he wanted, to completely subdue these two guys who no longer had the title of mandrills but only the title of ghost messengers.

"In my opinion, that is Yun Zhen Dao, or some kind of divine witch."

"Seeing the influence of my Five Ghosts in Jingu County, knowing the thunderous means I used to take over this place, and seeing how I was worshipped by thousands of people just now."

"Even the high and mighty county magistrate had to kneel at my feet like a slave."

"I read."

"I'm sure he doesn't dare to come."

"Okay, let them live a few more days, and then we'll deal with them when we get to Xihe County."

"I will not spare any life for anyone who dares to go against my Five Ghosts."

Whistle Ghost Messenger: "What if they come?"

The Ghost of the Plague snorted coldly: "Then I have at least ten ways to kill them. Let them choose one when the time comes."

At this time, it was just dawn outside.

The crowd gathered on the street has not yet dispersed, and many people are still looking towards the county office, hoping that the county office will show mercy and administer the medicine again today.

Many people even knelt on the ground and refused to get up, preparing to kneel until dark to show their piety.

He hoped that this would move the immortal and the ghost master, and that he would get the ghost-exorcising medicine the next time he administered the medicine.

suddenly.

Suddenly, there was a loud gong sound outside, which was non-stop and came from far away.

"Dong dong dong dong!"

Then, the sound of someone shouting into the gong was faintly heard, and finally there was an overwhelming noise outside, as if something big had happened.

For a moment, there seemed to be a bad smell coming from outside, and people vaguely felt a sense of change in the situation.

On the street, inside the county office.

When everyone heard the noise, they all looked in the direction where the gong sound came from.

"what happened?"

"what happened?"

"What's the noise outside?"

"Go and find out quickly."

After a while, news of what happened outside came back.

A ghost disciple hurriedly came to the plague ghost, knelt down on the ground, and spoke quickly.

"Oh no."

"The Taoist priests from Yunzhen Dao came to our house and openly distributed exorcism medicine on the street, saying that the medicine was in unlimited supply and anyone could take it."

"And we need to build a hospital in the county to treat the plague ghosts."

The ghost wiped his sweat and continued speaking.

"They also said."

When he said this, Gui Tu hesitated for a while, not knowing whether he should say the next words.

The Bronze Bell Ghost raised the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and asked with great concern and a sense of justice.

"What did you say?"

"Don't be secretive in front of everyone."

"Everyone here is one of us, what are you afraid of?"

The ghost disciple glanced at the copper bell ghost, but finally looked at the plague ghost ghost and said.

"And he was talking while beating the gong."

"They save those whom we, the Five Ghosts, cannot save."

"They exorcise the ghosts that we, the Five Ghosts, cannot exorcise."

The whistle ghost nearby was so amused that he almost laughed out loud.

But he also knew that this was not the occasion where he should laugh, so he immediately pretended to raise his hand high, turning the laughter that he could not hide into a loud shout.

"Ultimately arrogant."

"The clown."

"After seeing our might and our swift and powerful tactics, they came right after us to attack us."

"They don't take us Five Ghosts seriously. We must teach them a lesson!"

The person he was talking about was the Taoist of Yun Zhen Dao, but the person he was looking at was the plague ghost.

Hearing the words of the whistle ghost, the bronze bell ghost almost laughed out loud.

But he just closed his eyes and nodded in agreement.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"We must give them a taste of their power."

However, the two of them were so busy disgusting the plague ghost that they suddenly forgot that it was they who were the last ones shouting that they wanted to teach the other party a lesson.

At this moment, everyone looked at the plague ghost.

In fact, except for the bell-ringing ghost messenger and the whistle ghost messenger, the others looked at the plague ghost messenger more hoping that he would make a decision immediately.

However, the arrogant and proud Plague Ghost, who had just spoken harsh words, now felt that all eyes were filled with mockery, and his face under the mask instantly turned as red as a pig's liver.
