Aunt Chen is back from the world of cultivation

It took six days to deal with the snow disaster, and finally distributed relief food to all the snow disaster areas.

No longer having to rush, Chen Qingzhu finally had time to reflect on the merits he had gained from this time.

After some inspection and verification, she found that the merits she gained this time were greater than the flood and the Xingde plague combined.

However, the improvement in cultivation speed is not as significant as before.

Judging from the speed of absorbing spiritual energy, it is only about twice as fast as before.

It seems that perhaps she was recovering her original talents, which is why she improved so quickly.

Now that she has recovered her normal dual spiritual root qualifications, she will need more merits if she wants to advance further.

Chen Qingzhu was only disappointed for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

After all, it takes several years or even more than ten years to improve one's cultivation level.

In this world, being able to quickly accumulate a large amount of merit, improve one's cultivation and aptitude without any bottlenecks is already a great opportunity, and she shouldn't be too greedy.

It took half an hour for the spiritual energy in his body to return to a full state. Chen Qingzhu did not return to Nandu directly from Daming Prefecture in southern Zhili, but chose to turn north and return to the capital again.

There are three reasons for this:

On the one hand, with her speed, without the blessing of spiritual energy and simply consuming physical strength, it would only take an hour and a half to get from the southern part of Daming Prefecture to the capital.

On the other hand, she also needs to know the latest information in the capital.

Rather than going back to Nandu and waiting for the Yan family to send it over, which would take more than ten or twenty days, or wasting a sound transmission note, it would be better for her to go and ask in person now.

Most importantly, she forgot to do something very important.

*

After running at full speed for more than an hour and covering more than 900 miles, she was already feeling a little tired.

After returning to the capital, he went to the city wall to rest for a while.

The weather was cold, and there weren't many people here. She soon found the imperial edict issued by Emperor Yong'an among a pile of notices.

Her superiors directly labeled her a rebellious demon, saying that she was in cahoots with the Shu King's rebel party, created the plague in the capital, and then came out to play the savior.

They also said that she was an evil demon who ate human flesh and drank human blood, and had kidnapped the eldest prince to make elixirs.

The imperial edict warned all those who believed in the evil demon Tuoyu to stop worshipping the evil demon immediately, otherwise they would be treated as traitors.

It was also announced that the Dali Temple was conducting a strict investigation into those who had any connection with the God of Du'e, and asked them to actively surrender.

Seeing the last three words "Dali Temple", Chen Qingzhu smiled playfully.

The old man Yan Rong, the Dali Temple Minister, is really good at playing the thief crying "stop thief".

After finding a place to practice until dark, she went to Yan's house.

The Yan Mansion was still the same as when she left a few days ago, peaceful and orderly, which showed that it was indeed not affected by her.

It was not too late yet, and Mr. Yan Rong was working in the study.

Chen Qingzhu used his spiritual energy to control objects, rolled up a small stone and knocked on the window five times in a row.

This was the secret code she agreed upon with them.

When Yan Rong heard the noise, he immediately dismissed all the servants serving in the study.

The next moment, Chen Qingzhu, dressed in white, appeared out of nowhere in the study.

Yan Rong's face was full of surprise.

When he heard the secret code just now, he knew that the temple master's people were looking for him, but he never expected that it was the temple master himself.

Didn’t she leave the capital a long time ago?

And according to the intelligence obtained from the court, he should have gone to the snow-stricken area to provide disaster relief. How come he returned to the capital so soon?

Could this be the ability of immortals to travel a thousand miles a day?

Although he was full of doubts in his heart, he was tactful and did not ask more questions. Instead, he immediately walked out from behind the desk and bowed respectfully.

"Guanzhu!"

Chen Qingzhu cast a small soundproof spell, then asked:

"Has anything major happened in Beijing these days?"

Yan Rong first talked about the Dali Temple's strict investigation of believers of the Du'e God.

In order to protect himself, after he "discovered" that Yan Yun had disappeared, he immediately went to the palace to apologize and reported to Emperor Yong'an that he had sent someone to deliver dumplings to his nephew Yan Yun, but found that the house was empty.

He remembered that he had heard a rumor that the abbot of the Cihang Temple in Nandu and the God of Du'e were the same person.

Yan Yun's father is in Nandu, and he must be deeply involved with the God Du'e. This kid is probably afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so he ran away with the God Du'e.

He asked His Majesty to forgive him for his failure to control his people, and promised to investigate all the believers of the God of Du'e in the capital to atone for his sins.

As the first noble to express his opinion on this matter, Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied with his loyalty and understanding.

He was only fined half a year's salary and was ordered to investigate the powerful people related to the God of Du'e.

"Master, please forgive me. In order to gain the trust of Emperor Yong'an, I can only hand in this letter of surrender."

Chen Qingzhu expressed his understanding.

After all, this is what Yan Rong had said long ago.

"Who did you give as a token of your loyalty?"

she asked.

Yan Rong counted them all out for her.

"The first are the dignitaries in Nandu. The Duke Dingguo's faction is at the head, followed by the prefect Yan Qingzhi and other Nandu officials."

"Please forgive me for my self-willed decision. I feel that if you return to Nandu to start an uprising, you will need support. I will label them as traitors first, so that they will have no choice but to choose you."

He also explained his motivations.

It seems like he is asking for forgiveness, but in fact he is seeking credit.

Chen Qingzhu knew what was going on and didn't mind his little tricks.

"Well done, I am very satisfied."
