Liao Zhai's Refining God

Not long after, Nie Xiaoqian also left the customs, but because she didn't have any spiritual objects that could be refined, she couldn't be included in the Divine Pavilion, so she was naturally a little depressed.But after all, this is something that cannot be asked for, and cannot be forced.

"My lord, yesterday an old man came to the temple to pray, saying that Gaoliu Lake in Pingkang County was haunted by water ghosts, and many people in villages and towns were deprived of their livelihoods. He wanted us to arrest the water ghosts." On this day, Xue Fei reported to Wang Lin.

"Pingkang County." Wang Lin was slightly taken aback. She wanted to go to Pingkang County when the situation in Xiyuan Mansion stabilized, but unexpectedly, she received a message from Pingkang County, which immediately made Wang Lin a little nervous.

Because Wang Lin's elder brother, Wang Sheng, is the magistrate of Pingkang County.The female ghost of Lanruo Temple, Wang Sheng, Ning Caichen and other characters who have appeared in Liao Zhai all seem to have secretly followed a certain trajectory.

According to Wang Lin's analysis, it seems that because of her arrival, the development of some things has changed.For example, Guobei County, if he didn't intervene, it is very likely that the City God's Mansion will be destroyed, and Guobei County will be ruined.

Another example is Ning Caichen, if he does not intervene, he is likely to be down and out, and may end up in Lanruo Temple by mistake.

As for his elder brother Wang Sheng, if he didn't intervene, whether he would have died in the hands of Painted Skin Ghost, Wang Lin wasn't sure, but there was a great chance.

It can be deduced from this that his elder brother Wang Sheng may have the physique of "calling ghosts", which makes Wang Lin quite worried.

Wang Lin has checked the map of Xiyuan Prefecture during this time, and knows that Pingkang County is about [-] miles away from Xiyuan Prefecture City, located in the southwest of Xiyuan Prefecture City, and belongs to the border county. entered the grassland.

Therefore, in history, there were also Hu people who forcibly crossed this mountain to attack Pingkang County, but it was extremely difficult to cross this mountain, because the mountain was steep and the peak was covered with thick snow all the year round, it was extremely cold, and they wanted to cross it. There is a considerable price to pay.

As for Gaoliu Lake, it is a large lake in the west of Pingkang County, where the water flowing from the Kunlun Mountains converges. Most villages and towns in Pingkang County make a living by fishing in Gaoliu Lake.

361章 水鬼

"Go to the old man's dream tonight, and ask about the situation carefully." Wang Lin thought for a moment.

Now that the rules of heaven are becoming more and more chaotic, and the Ancient Ming Sect is also making troubles in Xiyuan Mansion, one must be steady and not act too hastily, otherwise it will be troublesome if the other party plots against oneself.

After all, the launch of the Parachutist Temple is an obvious event, and passers-by in Xiyuan Prefecture know it well, and in the battle of Yinshan Pass, he played all his cards, and the opponent had a relatively good grasp of his reality.

It would be bad if the other party took the opportunity to trip him or Xue Fei and accidentally fell into the trap.

Especially when Wang Lin heard about the "Black Mountain God", Wang Lin became more and more vigilant.

At this time, in a corner of a corner of the Chenghuang Temple compound in Xiyuan Prefecture, five people huddled up. They simply made some weeds and spread them on the ground, and covered their bodies with some clothes they brought with them. Embracing and sleeping in the wind, make do for one night.

"The parachutist, the parachutist had a dream last night, the gods appeared, the gods appeared." The old man among the five suddenly sat up and danced with excitement.

It was extremely ear-piercing in the quiet morning light, and instantly woke up all five of them.

"Father, is it true? The City God has given you an answer." A young young man said in a daze and surprise.

They are fishermen in Pingkang County, and their ancestors have made a living by fishing and breeding in Gaoliu Lake for generations. However, a year ago, these fishermen had the same dream. In the dream, the God of Gaoliu Lake issued a warning to them. Living near Gaoliu Lake, every season, a boy and a girl are offered for it to eat.

The God of the Lake told that on the night of the first month of each season, boys and girls would be thrown into Gaoliu Lake on a raft, otherwise the God of the Lake would not allow anyone to approach the waters of Lake Gaoliu, otherwise the God of the Lake would descend to the lake. disaster.

At first, these fishermen didn't believe it at all, and they still went to Gaoliu Lake to fish, but strange things happened. Those fishermen who entered the lake to fish were dragged into the water one by one, and never came back.

Some people who were closer to the shore escaped by chance, saying that they were caught by "water ghosts" in the water and couldn't escape, but they were finally released. It was the lake god who sent a message to the fishermen, that is, no virgin Maiden, Gaoliu Lake is not allowed to come any closer.

These fishermen rely on Gaoliu Lake for a living, and they can't do without a livelihood, but they are willing to send their children to the tiger's mouth, so they start to think of ways around.

Because fishermen in Pingkang County accounted for [-]% to [-]% of the county's population, they united to report to the Pingkang County Government, but the Pingkang County Government did not believe that there were ghosts in this world at all, and drove them out on the grounds that the fishermen were ignorant.

As a last resort, these fishermen began to pray at the Town God's Mansion in Pingkang County, and finally got good news, that is, the Pingkang Town God's Mansion entrusted them with a dream, asking them to pray at the Town God's Temple in Xiyuan Prefecture, asking the City God of Xiyuan Prefecture to rescue them.

The reason given by the Town God's Temple in Pingkang County is that their position in the Yinsi Yamen of the county is too low to interfere with the actions of the Lake God. Only the City God of Fu has this qualification.

The nearby fishermen selected five people to travel long distances to the Fucheng God Temple, praying that the Fucheng God sent a messenger to deal with the "water ghost" harming people in Gaoliu Lake.But after many days of praying, there was no reply from the messenger from the Chenghuang Temple.

The five of them were quite depressed, because they didn't have much money, so they could only curl up around the Temple of the City God, praying every day, trying to impress the City God with their sincerity, but they had been here for half a month, and there was no response at all.

As for the old man, he was also depressed that day, so he walked to the parachutist temple inadvertently, went to offer incense and pray with an attitude of trying, and finally received the message.

"Father, what does the god say?" The others hurriedly asked.

"The Venerable God said that he is the God of War of the Xia Kingdom, and he will never allow anyone to bully the people of the Xia Kingdom. The Venerable God will investigate and deal with the water ghost incident. Let us go back and wait." The old man said excitedly.

"Then let's go back and report the good news to the folks. If the water ghost incident can be solved, I will build a temple and a golden body for the god in my hometown. I will offer incense every day." You said.

"Don't worry!" The old man waved his hand, then thought for a moment and said, "Before we leave, we will go to the temple to offer incense and pray, and make a great wish in public. If the god helps us solve the water ghost incident, we will do our best in our hometown. Respect the gods and build temples, sculpt golden bodies, and become loyal believers of the gods."

"Fathers and folks, the five of us are Li Erzhu and Li Tiedan from Pingkang County..." Soon, the five of them went to the Parachutist Temple to offer incense, and then shouted loudly in the wide square at the entrance of the temple. Less pedestrians, tell your story again.And issued a grand wish in public.

Xue Fei told Wang Lin about the investigation in his dream last night. Wang Lin felt that if the water ghost pretended to be the lake god to harm people, it should not be a big deal.

If the Ancient Ming Cult was secretly plotting, then one must be extremely cautious, but judging from the timing, it doesn't seem likely, because this incident happened a year ago.

So discuss it with Xue Fei and divide the troops into two routes.At the same time, envoys such as Ludi, Nie Xiaoqian, and Liu Dahong were summoned to discuss and assign tasks.

According to Wang Lin's plan, Wang Lin took the green flute first to visit Wang Lin's elder brother Wang Sheng, and by the way, to get a deeper understanding of the situation, it was only as a helper in dealing with the Gaoliu Lake water ghost incident.

In the second route, Xue Fei led his four subordinates Wang Han, Ma Chao, Zhuge Wu and Cui Ying, and Wang Lin sent Jiaolong Yinshen to assist.They went directly to investigate the situation of Gaoliu Lake from the front.If it was just a simple water ghost incident, it would be resolved easily.

Xue Fei ordered four of his nine subordinates to follow him on this mission, and the other five stayed in the Parachutist Temple in Xiyuanfu City.

"Brother, it's just a little water ghost, like my brothers. I don't know how many evil ghosts and ghosts have been hunted and killed in the past hundreds of years. You only need to send me and Brother Ma Chao to go there, and you don't need to bother brother Do it." Wang Han took a step forward and said in a deep voice to Xue Fei.

"My lord, I have had a very pleasant time with Master Futai and General Fujun these few days, and the safety of the two of them is related to your plan, and is also very important.

Gaoliu Lake Water Ghost, but Xiaoxiao's generation, with Master Xue Fei leading the formation, brothers Wang Han and Ma Chao, they are already easily captured, and it is unnecessary for me to go, why not let me protect Futai and Lord Fujun. "Jiaolong Yinshen also took the opportunity to say at this time.

"Brother Xiaojiao's words are very reasonable. You must be worrying too much." Wang Han immediately felt extremely comfortable after hearing Jiaolong Yinshen's words, and seeing Jiaolong's miniature body became extremely pleasing to the eye, he couldn't help saying impassionedly again.

"Don't be rude!" Xue Fei was startled, and quickly reprimanded.

His brothers have been ghosts for hundreds of years, and they are used to being unrestrained, and they have long forgotten the military discipline they used to have.They don't know that this gentle and kind-looking "son" is their master, if they are tired of them in their hearts, just one thought can wipe them out.

"Yes!" Wang Han resentfully remained silent, but it could be seen from their actions and expressions that Wang Han and Ma Chao were not very convinced.

Chapter 362 Arrangements

"These two idiots don't know the heights of heaven and earth, so please punish them." Xue Fei hurriedly bowed to Wang Lin.

"This character is really straightforward and forthright! Hehe." Wang Lin said with a faint smile.At the same time, he glanced at Jiaolong Yinshen.

"Sigh. This demon spirit has become more cunning than humans." Wang Lin pondered. If Jiaolong Yinshen were to be with Wang Han and Ma Chao, he might sell them both, and they would still count the money for Jiaolong Yinshen.

However, I glanced at Xue Fei with deep and heavy eyes; and the scribe next to Xue Fei who was calmly watching the "performance" of Jiaolong Yinshen, and the woman disguised as a man, and a set of tight armor was transformed into a set of tight armor on the magic body, standing there without saying a word. Cui Ying who was silent.

Wang Lin felt that even though Jiaolong was cunning, he probably wouldn't be able to take advantage of Xue Fei and his men.

As her team grows, Wang Lin knows that these people have their own personalities.I just want to use their strengths. If I don't violate my bottom line, I won't try to change their behavior.

If they don't wink and violate their bottom line, they will kill them directly.If Wang Lin were to spend energy on managing and educating them like training soldiers, Wang Lin would not waste this energy, and Wang Lin thought that she did not have the ability.

After all, what I want to cultivate in the immortal way is to be unrestrained, free and unrestrained, and I have a lot of time to practice, so I don't have time to train them.It is enough for each body protector god to manage their own subordinates, Wang Lin doesn't worry about it.

The Jiaolong Yinshen couldn't help but shuddered. He knew that Wang Lin's character seemed to be gentle and gentle, gentle and kind, but in fact, when she played tricks, her cruelty would definitely subvert their imagination.

So Jiaolong quickly crawled to Wang Lin's feet and licked Wang Lin's cowhide uppers, a stream of water mist sprayed out from his body, shining the oil on him, and he said with a flattering smile: "Young master, this is just a small suggestion from me. I have absolutely no intention of questioning your son's decision."

Seeing Jiaolong Yinshen being so obsequious, Wang Han and Ma Chao couldn't help showing a bit of disdain. After all, they are in the Yinshen realm. Can they have some ambition?

"Cooperate well and wait for Xue Fei to order, don't cheat and be lazy." Wang Lin said lightly.

"Yes yes yes. Lord Xue Fei's order is the son's order, and I will do my best to fulfill it." Jiaolong said in a sinister voice.

"Young master, during this period of time, Wu Pan from the Yamen of the Underworld has been in contact with me several times. It is said that the ghosts in Dragon Bone Mountain are about to move again. He wants to ask us to help destroy Dragon Bone Mountain in one fell swoop." Liu Dahong heard that Wang Lin was leaving Xiyuan Mansion for Pingkang County. , reminded quickly at this time.

During this time, Wang Lin asked him to be in charge of contacting and communicating with the City God's Mansion of Xiyuan Mansion.

"I've already made arrangements for this. Xiaoqian is sitting in the city of Xiyuanfu; all of you are at her disposal, and can assist the City God's Mansion to resist the invasion of ghosts when necessary. When we return from Gaoliu Lake, we will cooperate with the City God's Mansion to plan Dragon Bone Mountain ghosts." , eradicate this scourge." Wang Lin said.

"Yes!" Liu Dahong bowed and saluted.

"Brothers, the overall situation is the most important thing. God Ding Si is at the same level as me. You must obey her orders and don't contradict her." Xue Fei was afraid that the five remaining brothers would cause trouble, so he hurriedly spread the word Divine Sense enjoined.

"Yes!" The five reluctantly bowed and asked Nie Xiaoqian to command them temporarily. They were already secretly thinking about how to make this Nie Xiaoqian feel deflated.

Nie Xiaoqian naturally understands their careful thinking. Unlike Ludi, she has always been relatively simple.She has stayed under the ghost king of Lanruo Temple for a long time, intriguing and competing for favor with the ghost king of Lanruo Temple, and she has a better grasp of human psychology than the five.

This is why Wang Lin asked Nie Xiaoqian to stay instead of Ludi.Even for her own people, Nie Xiaoqian is definitely better than Lu Di in terms of control and ruthlessness.These nine people are rebellious and unruly, and it is good to hone their characters if they command each other.

"Then prepare separately. If this matter is settled, the Parachutist Temple can also be extended outside the city of Xiyuan Prefecture." Wang Lin waved her hand.

Xue Fei waited and bowed to retreat.Zhang Hanyu came in at this time, and gently held Wang Lin's hand, staring at Wang Lin with two big watery eyes, but didn't say anything.

"I won't take you this time. You should practice hard here and strive to reach the Real Qi Realm as soon as possible. Only in this way will you have a chance to enter the Kunlun Sword Gate this year. I'll be back soon." Wang Lin said with a smile.

"I understand, be careful on the road, don't get into danger easily." Zhang Han said.

"Don't worry, with the green flute accompanying me, nothing will happen," Wang Lin said.

"Don't worry, young master. I will take good care of your son." Green Die said with a smile.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will take good care of the young master." Seeing Wang Lin looking at her, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said.

"City God's Mansion is in trouble, you can help them defend against the enemy, but don't act too hastily and attack Dragon Bone Mountain without authorization." Wang Lin knew Nie Xiaoqian's character, so she couldn't help but reminded again.

"Don't worry, this servant has made a note." Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly promised.

Before Wang Lin left, she naturally wanted to meet Wang Wenlan and Li Jicheng.Now the two of them are busy with business affairs, but when they heard that Wang Lin was coming, they turned down all their business affairs and came to see Wang Lin together.

Naturally, Wang Lin did not hide the matter of Pingkang County from the two of them. Letting them know about it would also be beneficial to their governance.

"The situation is becoming more and more rotten. I'm considering whether to notify the counties in the form of official documents to warn them. And formulate some measures and promulgate them in order to maintain the incense and aspirations of the Town God's Temple." Wang Wenlan said.

"No. If this is the case, my lord, once some officials with ulterior motives secretly report to the court, my lord's opponents may take the opportunity to attack, and it will affect my lord at that time." Li Jicheng quickly reminded.

"Haha, as long as I can avoid this kind of harm, my personal gains and losses are nothing." Wang Wenlan said with a smile.

Wang Lin knew that this was Wang Wenlan's sincere words, not his artificial performance.

"My lord, things about ghosts and gods should not be announced openly to the public, as it may easily cause confusion, but it can be reported to important officials in a small area, and should be reported as soon as possible once such incidents occur.

Or set up a secret agency to monitor this matter and leave it to us to deal with the situation, which is also a good way. Seeing Li Jicheng looking at her, Wang Lin knew that she wanted Wang Lin to speak out to dissuade her. Wang Lin had her own ideas and thought for a moment.

"This is a good way!" Li Jicheng said with bright eyes.

"Okay!" Wang Wenlan applauded after a moment of contemplation and continued: "It is easy to establish an organization, and I still have to thank you for your strong support."

"It's no problem. You find the right person to take charge of this matter. I'll ask the parachutist to help you handle this matter. With the extension of the temple to the whole prefecture, the safety of Xiyuan Mansion will be guaranteed." Wang Lin said.

"Okay, let's start immediately, Ji Cheng, you are in charge, and the name is temporarily called the Detective Agency. Develop strength from the headhunters in various counties and folk martial arts people, monitor and collect clues to supernatural events in various places, and combine with the parachutist to eliminate hidden dangers in time. "Wang Wenlan said.

"This book is for you. I wrote it. For some low-level ghosts and monsters, martial arts practitioners, and even ordinary people, you can only deal with it if you have some special materials and magic weapons. It will be helpful to you .” Wang Lin took out a book from the storage ring and said.

Chapter 363 Enter

This book was written by Wang Lin in her spare time recently, based on the "Ancient Ming Jing" and her understanding of ghosts and monsters.To summarize and generalize, some methods for warriors and ordinary people to deal with ghosts and monsters are proposed.

Of course, these are only for low-level ghosts. If you encounter a ghost above the innate level, the warrior has no confidence at all, and it would be good if you can save your life.It must be reported in time, and the practitioners must act.

This booklet specifically lists some practical magical weapons, most of which are weapons made of offering metals. As long as some real yang attributes are added, such as blessings in Sanskrit, they can cause harm to ghosts.

Wang Lin also intends to make some magic tools like this. After all, relying on the god of body protection, the number is limited, and it is impossible to take care of it.Let the Yamen organize people to do part of the defense, which can greatly reduce the death of ordinary people.

From the incident in Changlin County, Wang Lin already felt that this was not just a personal matter, but a struggle between ethnic groups. With the character of ghosts, if they didn't stop them, the human race might really be wiped out by them.

After Wang Lin left Futai Yamen, she returned to the Temple of the Paralympic General. After saying goodbye to Zhang Hanyu, Green Die entered the altar to practice. Wang Lin carried a bookcase and a bamboo hat on the road alone.

The reason why he dressed up as a scholar on a study tour was to disguise himself and not easily attract attention.At the same time, it is also for the convenience of in-depth investigation and understanding of the situation in Pingkang County.

Out of the city of Xiyuan Prefecture, head all the way to the southwest, and the terrain is getting higher and higher. Originally, Xiyuan Prefecture was located on a plateau, but now it is all the way up, and you can see the spreading mountains standing in the clouds from a distance.This is the outer peak of the Kunlun Mountains, and Pingkang County is just under the first high mountain Snow Lotus Mountain in the outer periphery.

This mountain range is covered with white snow all the year round, and it looks like a snow lotus flower standing above the clouds from a distance, so it is also called Snow Lotus Mountain.

The Gaoliu Lake is formed by the confluence of water flowing from the Kunlun Mountains, and the lake flows eastward into the mainstream of the Tianjiang River.

Gaoliu Lake is very wide and spreads for hundreds of miles. After flowing out from the mountains, it forms a large water area and wetland, which surrounds Pingkang County. The nearest water area is less than one kilometer away from the county seat of Pingkang County.

Three days later, when Wang Lin entered Pingkang County, Wang Lin couldn't help but be amazed. In her previous life, this place had been developed into a tourist area, which would definitely make a lot of money.

Although Pingkang County is located below the peaks of the plateau, the overall climate is relatively warm. The main reason is that its northern side is blocked by the Kunlun Mountains, and the cold north cannot blow. Makes the climate here very good.

There is not much arable land in Pingkang County, surrounded by waters and wetlands, or alpine rocks. In this era of relatively backward productivity, it is impossible to renovate and reclaim more arable land. The people can only rely on fishing and planting water lilies and other aquatic plants as their main income. source.

In today's month, the roads and roads are already full of flowers, which is a good time for the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.On the distant mountains, the vegetation has just sprouted new shoots, and the mountains are covered with a layer of green mist, which looks extremely pleasing to the eye.

Groups of white cranes are flying over the wetland, and the sound of the cranes rippling far away makes people feel very comfortable.

Pingkang County is not big. It is built on a high ground, facing the south and overlooking the vast Gaoliu Lake.Entering the county seat, Wang Lin felt a sense of depression, and the faces of passers-by showed sadness.

"Xiao Er, there are special foods in the local area. Come and taste them." Near noon, Wang Lin entered a restaurant, and greeted the waiter after she sat down.

"Xiao Xianggong is a scholar who came to study abroad?" The shop waiter didn't come over in time, but the shopkeeper sitting at the counter came over and cupped his hands.

Xia people respect scholars, and they are quite respectful when they meet scholars who study abroad.

"Exactly!" Wang Lin put the bookcase aside and said.

"Our Pingkang County is located in a remote location, so we rarely see students who study abroad. The fact that the young master can enter our store, we are also flourishing, and we should serve the best food in the local area, alas." Knowing how to do business, he explained kindly, and finally heaved a deep sigh and stopped talking.
