In ancient times, he became a god in the mountains.

Inside the Golden Holy Palace, the spiritual energy is vast.

Gu Yuexi sat cross-legged in the first seat.

The evil spirit and the ghost spirit collided in her dantian, like two trapped beasts madly hitting a cage. There was a slight pain in her dantian. Gu Yuexi used her spiritual power to separate the two auras and refined the evil spirit and the ghost spirit bit by bit.

All things have the same origin, all energy has the same origin.

The ghost energy and evil spirit that would destroy the foundation of other cultivators are as pure as spiritual energy to her. Refining the ghost energy and evil spirit can also replenish the spiritual energy in the body.

The prerequisite is that she needs to remove the blood energy from the ghost energy and evil spirit. This process will probably take a lot of time, so she decided to go into seclusion for more than a month.

While refining the ghost energy and evil spirit, she took out the "Underworld Water Treasure Book" and "Wood Spirit Sutra" to practice.

The two skills are still at the third level.

She practiced meditation and did not care about worldly affairs.

The people of Ping'an Town were reborn because of her. They were overwhelmed with joy of rebirth and excitement of meeting a god. For a long time, the people of the town had been talking about the mysterious Golden Saint Goddess.

"It turns out there really are gods in this world!" everyone exclaimed.

"The Fairy Goddess also rescued us. I had never heard of her name before, but I never thought that when the people in the town were in the most difficult time, it was she who suddenly appeared and rescued them!"

"The Golden Saint is our benefactor. It is because of her that our Ping'an Town has not become a deserted town."

The people swore to worship the goddess from generation to generation.

After the crisis in Ping'an Town was resolved, Gu Yuexi returned to Jinsheng Shenque to practice, while Huowa and Shuiwa went to Xiping County and went straight to the county magistrate's mansion.

"Why are the two fairy children here?"

He Jinzong is currently busy with the survival issues of the people in the county. Those who need to farm are farming, and those who need to trade are doing business. He does not seek to restore the prosperity before the drought, but at least to ensure that the people do not go hungry. He is so busy that he never stops.

His daughter also woke up. She originally planned to lead the whole family to worship the Golden Saint Goddess in two days. However, Luo Yousong said that the matter of casting a statue for the Goddess was urgent, and asked him to solve the survival problem of the people first, and then discuss the statue with him.

After the statue was built, he led the people of the county to worship the goddess and pray for her to bless Xiping County with good weather.

He Jinzong was a little surprised to see the two fairy children coming.

"Xian Tong, could it be that the Queen has some instructions?"

Shui Wa said to him, "Mr. County Magistrate, not long ago there was an epidemic in Ping'an Town where Qingchan Temple is located. Have you heard about it?"

"What!" He Jinzong was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why didn't I receive any news? Did the court send anyone to rescue them?"

Ping'an Town is a small town, not as big as Yunwu Town, but it is also in Xiping County and is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. Someone should have informed him of this matter! Why didn't anyone mention it?

He Jinzong said anxiously: "I will assign someone right away... No! I will go to Ping'an Town myself. I hope the people are safe."

As a local official, he cares very much about the suffering people.

"You don't have to worry. After the Queen resolved the matter of Qingchan Temple, she also rescued the people of Ping'an Town. Although the epidemic took the lives of many people, fortunately they were rescued in time and the lives of the remaining people were saved." Huowa explained the situation in Ping'an Town.

He Jinzong was moved: "Your Majesty is so compassionate and merciful, saving the suffering!"

"The Queen Mother has instructed that you are responsible for solving the resettlement problem of the people. Remember to bring more food." Shuiwa explained the purpose.

He Jinzong nodded solemnly: "I understand. I will send people to deliver food to the people right away. I will never let the people go hungry."

After three years of drought, Xiping County still has some surplus grain, which was originally used for emergencies. Now that half of the farming has been completed, they will have fresh food after the autumn harvest.

These emergency food supplies were first transported to Ping'an Town.

"My two fairies, I wonder how many people are left in Ping'an Town?" If there were many people, there really wouldn't be enough food.

We could only give them some wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Huo Wa said, "Less than five hundred!"

This is a sad number.

He Jinzong stood there in a daze, then suddenly shook his head and sighed, unable to help but reddening his eyes: "There is enough food."

He didn't feel lucky at all.

He was just sad.

Why is life so difficult?

Suddenly he thought of a question.

Although the population of Ping'an Town was not as large as that of Yunwu Town, there were more than 100,000 people before the drought. During the three years of drought, he often sent people to record the number of survivors. Every time, there would be a large number of people missing, but there was always something wrong.

Why...why has it been reduced to such an extent?

He had a hunch that something was wrong: "Fairy boy, can you explain to me why the population of Ping'an Town has dropped so drastically?"

"Last year, I remember there were more than 50,000 people."

Why did the number increase to 500 in just one year?

He couldn't help but shudder.

Something is wrong!

Nothing is right at all.

Even though many people die every day.

It is also impossible for the number to drop sharply from 50,000 to 500 in just one year.

This is simply impossible!

Huo Wa told him the truth: "Except for those who died of drought, most people in Ping'an Town died within one year."

"Mingwu, the abbot of Qingchan Temple, is an evil cultivator. He uses the evil land to raise dozens of red-clothed ghosts. One red-clothed ghost requires the blood of hundreds of living people to feed, and it may not succeed every time, so he needs a constant supply of blood and flesh."

"Mingwu captured a living person to feed the red-clothed ghost. He used a locust wood bead to steal the soul of a girl's family, and let the red-clothed ghost combine with the soul of a living person to give birth to a ghost baby for him to refine the longevity pill."

"Plus, he awakened the army of undead that had been sleeping underground for hundreds of years, causing ghost energy to fill the sky above Ping'an Town and invade the bodies of the people, which made them mistakenly believe that they were infected with the plague. In fact, they were implicated by Mingwu's evil practice. If it weren't for the queen's rescue, Ping'an Town would have been a dead town."

He Jinzong seemed to be listening to a horror legend.

He couldn't believe it: "Master Mingwu, he actually did such a heartless thing, it's terrible!"

"Fortunately, it's all over now." Shuiwa continued, "Go ahead, County Magistrate. We should leave now."

"By the way, Miss He should be awake by now? Is she feeling unwell?"

"Thanks to the elixir bestowed by the Empress, Wanwan was able to get out of bed and walk after three days of recuperation. Now she is completely healed."

"Alas!" He Jinzong was heartbroken: "My daughter has suffered so much."

"And that Master Mingwu, he also stole my daughter's soul."

He Jinzong heard that there were other innocent women like his daughter who were victims, but they were not as lucky as Wanwan.

"Thanks to that kid Mingke."

If it weren't for Mingke, her daughter might never have woken up in this life. He had no chance to thank Mingke. The only thing he could do was to help him take care of Mother Zhao.

After Mingke was reincarnated, his wife couldn't bear to punish Mother Zhao, so Mother Zhao built a small Buddhist temple in the backyard. She said that she would eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures from then on, and pray for everyone in the He family for the rest of her life.

After delivering Gu Yuexi's words, Huowa and Shuiwa left the county magistrate's mansion.

He Jinzong immediately went to Ping'an Town to provide relief to the victims.

The people of Ping'an Town were very excited when they received the food from the county magistrate.

They knew that this must have been arranged by the Golden Saint Goddess.

The people had more faith and respect for the Golden Saint Goddess.

The gods save people from suffering and help them achieve their goals, but it is shameful that they actually questioned the goddess and said that she was a monster.

Fortunately, the queen understood the bigger picture and did not bother with these ignorant people.
