Sword of the Nine Heavens, the Fall of the Gods

"Peace in the World" Hei Wuchang Fan Wujiu, who was originally standing there in a daze, finally came to his senses and forced an awkward smile on his face.

"You may not know, Mountain God, but my brother and I have been to Guan County, but Zheng Yong was not at home."

Cheng Feng frowned: "He's not at home? Could it be that he's in my Qingcheng Mountain?"

Bai Wuchang took over the conversation: "Mountain God, you are right. Zheng Yong should burn incense and pray for his daughter in the temple."

"We went to his house just now. Zheng Yong was not there. Only his wife was feeding her daughter medicine."

"From his wife's soliloquy, I learned that his daughter had a strange disease."

"Zheng Yong came here to burn incense for his daughter. We know this is a mountain god temple, so we dare not act rashly."

"So we waited here for him to come out and then arrested him. I didn't expect to run into the mountain god. It was only because I didn't recognize your true face that a misunderstanding occurred."

Chengfeng suddenly realized, wiped the snot that was about to flow out, and nodded.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, I don't blame you. When Zheng Yong comes out, you can arrest him. I'm just sorry for him. He just came to my temple to pray and he lost his life."

Bai Wuchang sighed and said helplessly:

"Life and death are all predestined. But I wonder what sins this family committed in their previous life?"

"Zheng Yong is not even fifty years old yet, but his life span has already come to an end. It is really tragic that his daughter is so young and yet has contracted such a strange disease."

Cheng Feng smiled dumbly: "I didn't expect that the Black and White Impermanence would have compassion. This is quite rare."

"You said Zheng Yong came to pray for his daughter. I wonder what disease his daughter has?"

Bai Wuchang said, "According to his wife, his daughter seems to be possessed by some evil spirit and has been sleeping all day long."

At night, he would run out with his upper body naked and bite the neighbors’ chickens and dogs to death. This made the neighbors panic and they kept coming to his house to ask for an explanation.”

"Is this happening?"

Chengfeng was shocked. He didn't expect such a strange thing to happen in his jurisdiction.

It seems that we need to investigate. Otherwise, if the master finds out, there will definitely be punishment.

Fan Wujiu, the Black Impermanence who was standing by, said, "Lord Mountain God, there are so many strange things happening in your Qingcheng Mountain. Some time ago, Lord Zhong Kui captured a fierce ghost in Xuankou Town."

"Evil ghost? But is it the ghost whose resentment lingers after death?" Chengfeng asked with a questioning tone.

Hei Wuchang nodded quickly: "That's right! That's right!"

Cheng Feng frowned, "I wonder what the ghost's grudge is? It would rather become a fierce ghost than go to hell. Wouldn't it be better to reincarnate earlier?"

Hei Wuchang looked up at the sky and spoke slowly:

"Lord Mountain God, this matter is very complicated. Now that it is still early, let me explain it to you in detail."

"It all started from the long-established Changlong Pharmacy in Xuankou Town."

"Changlong Pharmacy?"

Cheng Feng was slightly surprised: "A medicine shop is a place to cure illnesses and save lives, what does it have to do with that evil spirit?"

Hei Wuchang continued, "It has a lot to do with it! The owner of that medicine shop is called Xie An. Xie An is over 60 years old, has a wife and a son, and the three of them run the medicine shop together."

"Due to the booming business, we were a little overwhelmed, so we hired a young man named Qu Sen from a neighboring village."

"This Qu Sen is about 25 years old. He has never been married because his family is poor. He doesn't talk much, but he is diligent and capable, so Xie An treats him well."

"Life was originally peaceful and smooth, but who knew that Xie An had gone astray, a man in his sixties, taking a twenty-year-old girl as his concubine."

"The girl's name is Xiaomei, and she's pregnant. Xie An was so happy that he kept this concubine by his side every day and doted on her."

"Xiaomei's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she was going to give birth in two months. Xie An was getting worried."

"He heard the rumors in the town. It was said that the baby in Xiaomei's belly was not his, but his subordinate Qu Sen's."

"Not only that, but even his wife and son started to distance themselves from him."

"Xie An didn't take the estrangement between his first wife and son seriously, but he became suspicious of the baby in Xiaomei's belly!"

"Then Xie An finally couldn't help it and questioned Qu Sen, and a storm was brewing."

"Qu Sen's denial and defiance angered Xie An and brought his doubts to a peak."

"Qu Sen was expelled from the medicine shop. Not long after, Xie An died from a bowl of poisoned chicken soup."

"So that's it!"

Cheng Feng sighed helplessly, "Qu Sen must have had an affair with the concubine, and was driven away to vent his anger, so he conspired with the concubine to kill Xie An. Xie An's wronged spirit was unable to dispel his resentment, and turned into a fierce ghost to harass the people."

Hei Wuchang shook his head repeatedly: "That's not the case. It was Qu Sen who turned into a ghost, not Xie An."

Cheng Feng was surprised: "Qu Sen is dead too? How did he die?"

Bai Wuchang took over the topic: "Fan Wujiu, don't keep us in suspense. After we capture Zheng Yong, we will return to the underworld to report."

"Mountain God, let me tell you, not only Qu Sen is dead, but Xie An's wife, son, and Xiaomei are all dead."

"In Senluo Palace, these people confessed the truth. It turned out that it was Xie An's wife and son who were responsible."

"Since Xiaomei became pregnant, his wife and son were worried that the child born by the concubine would compete for the property, so they secretly poisoned Xie An to death."

"Later, they bribed the government officials and pushed all the charges onto Xiaomei and Qu Sen. They falsely accused them of having an affair, which was discovered by Xie An. Fearing that the truth would be exposed, the two poisoned Xie An to death."

"The government arrested Qu Sen and Xiao Mei. Qu Sen was tortured into confessing and was beheaded in public at Caishikou."

"Unexpectedly, Qu Sen's resentment was hard to get rid of, and he turned into a fierce ghost. He killed the county magistrate and Xie An's wife and son, causing panic in Xuankou Town."

"Because he is a fierce ghost, the underworld sent Master Zhong Kui to capture him."

"How could such a thing happen!"

He sighed softly in the wind, his brows revealing his helplessness and sigh at the coldness of the world.

"It's all because of greed that this incident happened. It's just a pity for Xiaomei."

"The strange thing about this matter is Xiaomei." Bai Wuchang shook his head.

"It's not surprising that Xiaomei encountered such misfortune." Chengfeng looked at Bai Wuchang in surprise.
