Wild God starts the game, I rely on incense to prove my truth to the emperor

"Could it be that my power is not enough for him to use his Golden Body?"

Thinking of this, the Wolf King felt heartbroken again and could hardly breathe.

"Your Majesty?"

It was not until Su Baotong reminded him again that the Wolf King recovered from his dazed expression.

"How would I know? If you're not convinced, you can let Han and Zhao give it a try!"

"I wouldn't dare!" Su Baotong quickly complimented him, "To be recognized by the king, the Red Pine Willow God is truly extraordinary!"

"What on earth are you doing here? Just to ask this?"

The Wolf King said impatiently.

"Of course, we are here to resist the imperial army. You and I jointly govern Yi County. Now, Tong Wei, the deputy governor of Liuzhou Governor's Office, has led his army to repeatedly defeat our army. We urgently need Your Majesty to take action and show your prowess!"

"You only ate a few people, what kind of co-governance is that?" The Wolf King sneered. "Come to think of it, you promised me ninety-nine boys and girls every month, but you never fulfilled your promise!"

"Your Majesty, I'm not going back on my word, but the situation is unstable right now. If I allow you and your monsters to devour people, it will surely cause riots in the city!"

Su Baotong immediately began to advise him earnestly.

Hearing this, the Wolf King sneered, "Who dares to cause trouble when I am here? I will eat him first!"

"..."

Su Baotong was speechless.

He also understood that the biggest gap between humans and monsters was not their appearance, but their way of thinking.

Even if a monster has a high level of cultivation, it will never restrain its primitive desires, such as killing and bloodthirstiness.

But humans are different. They can dress themselves up in any way they want to achieve their goals.

"This boy is not worthy of being consulted!"

After cursing in his heart, Su Baotong still smiled on the surface.

"Then I will not disturb Your Majesty's rest. Farewell!"

The Wolf King ignored it.

Not until Su Baotong completely disappeared from the cave entrance did he slowly raise his eyes, revealing two vertical lines on his pupils.

"Fool, do you really think I'm helping you? If it weren't for the Xuanqing Palace Master's plan, you wouldn't even have the chance to enter Yi County!"

……

At the entrance of Hongsong Village, underground.

Wan Zhuliu glanced at the rows of ghosts and was a little surprised.

This is the soul that was not swallowed by the Wolf King during the salvation ceremony that day.

There are thirty-four souls of various kinds, including the souls of children, the souls of the elderly, the souls of women, and the souls of soldiers.

After he brought these souls back, he kept them in a secret room underground, waiting for the underworld to take them away.

But what’s surprising is that several days have passed, why is he still here?

"Is the underworld not accepting guests recently?"

Wan Zhuliu rubbed his forehead, feeling that this matter did not seem simple.

He immediately flew out of the village and came to an old hill.

There are old graves from decades ago as well as new graves from recent years.

After randomly selecting a few good-looking ones, Wan Zhuliu walked forward, first sprinkled some incense, and then began to recite the universal salvation scriptures.

Soon, the compassionate and gentle magic power enveloped all the graves.

As the rays of light flickered, ghosts gradually gathered on the grave.

After waiting for a while, Wan Zhuliu checked them one by one.

He discovered that not all graves had souls condensed in them, only a few did.

Moreover, these graves, without exception, are all new graves.

He went up one by one to identify them.

"Old Zhang was hacked to death for having an affair. It happened two years ago!"

"Mr. Hong, passed away peacefully!"

"Wang Fugui, uh...I guess I killed him!"

……

"Widow Yang's only son secretly went swimming in the river and was used as a scapegoat by a water ghost...

No, why do I remember that the water ghost is still there?"

When he stopped in front of the last grave, Wan Zhuliu was stunned.

This is roughly consistent with his guess. Those who can condense ghosts are all people who died within the ten years since the founding of Dayan, and not before.

Does this mean that the soul has not entered the underworld for reincarnation in these ten years?

hiss!

After realizing this, Wan Zhuliu felt that he might have discovered a huge secret.

If souls do not enter the underworld to reincarnate, then where do the new babies born every year come from?

"No, I have to go take a look..."

He brought the newly condensed ghosts back to the underground at the entrance of Hongsong Village and placed them together with the dozens of previous ones.

Speaking of which, although these ghosts look like humans, they look dull.

Only when he offered the power of incense and fire would these ghosts regain consciousness briefly. The rest of the time they would just stand there, motionless.

But it’s better this way, so it doesn’t run around and scare people, and it’s easier to manage.

Then he came to the stinking river where the water ghost was before.

Environmental pollution has been severe in recent years, especially the Great Yan court, which encouraged water burials for the dead. As a result, the once crystal clear rivers not only have less water flow, but also emit a strong stench.

That is to say, Hongsong is located in a remote area, and the customs are still the same as those of the previous dynasty. Most people still use burial, and pay attention to being buried in peace. There has not been much change from the past.

But Joetsu is a prosperous city, so it’s different. Water burial is almost standard, and the custom is particularly prevalent.

In the summer, hundreds of corpses float on the rivers and the whole area is filled with a foul stench.

In addition, including Dayan's four-class system, corvee and tax system, these systems and living habits that are very different from the previous dynasty have completely changed this land in the past ten years.

Recalling these things, Wan Zhuliu thought of Taoist Sanxuan.

This was his only friend, and many things in the past were told to him by this old city god.

pity……

After suppressing this thought, he refocused his attention on the stinking river.

After a quick glance, he directly released a lot of incense power.

Bang bang bang!

The water splashed everywhere, like frying fish.

Water ghosts are most afraid of this thing.

Sure enough, not long after, a white shadow appeared on the surface of the river, floating horizontally on the water, face down, like a floating corpse.

"Hey? Little ghost, this god has come to your stinking river to guide the work, why don't you even show your face?"

"..."

no response.

Seeing this, Wan Zhuliu cast a small spell to help the other person turn over.

It turned out that this guy was pretending to be dizzy.

I couldn't help but complain: "Brother, you are a ghost, not a human, will you get dizzy?"

"Uh……"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on its pale face.

"Lord Liu Shen, I have been working diligently these years and have never done anything harmful to the world. Please be kind and don't arrest me!"

"Tsk! You even killed a child a few years ago. If I hadn't been so powerless back then, I would have sent down a thunderbolt to kill you. How dare you pretend to be a good person in front of this god!"

The water ghost immediately sat up and hid his whitish body underwater again, revealing only half of his face. "God Liu, I didn't invent the idea of ​​a scapegoat. I'm also a senior who learned it. Besides..."

He was silent for a moment and slapped the water hard.

"Young ones, show yourself!"

Soon, many heads floated up from the water.

"They all did it. Even though they didn't succeed, I can't be the only one to bear the blame, right?"

Wan Zhuliu took a glance.

I thought to myself, "Wow, there are more than a dozen little ghosts here. If you don't know, you would think the village school is swimming here!"
