This Liao Zhai is not right

"It's strange to say. Guobei County is just a remote and poor place. I don't know where the City God of Guobei County got so much power to provide his civil and military judges and dozens of ghost soldiers to come to Jinhua to fight against evil spirits."

"That's right. The ghost soldiers under the command of the City God of Guobei County are all strong and muscular, fully armored, and full of murderous aura. They are no less powerful than the ghost soldiers of the underworld."

"More than just ghost soldiers, you haven't seen that the civil and military judges of Guobei County have almost condensed their divine bodies. This is the authority that only the city god of a prefecture has."

As the Sun-Watching God spoke, the ghost messengers under his command also began to talk in a flurry.

"Don't talk nonsense. Do you think you can find out about the affairs of the City God?"

A shout silenced the ghost soldiers who were discussing the matter.

With a casual grab, more than a dozen ghost soldiers disappeared without a trace, and then with a flash of divine light, the Sun-wandering God flew away from the courtyard.

"..."

After watching the Sun Wandering God under the command of the Jinhua City God fly away, Su Fu put down the sutra in his hand and was speechless: "My reputation has spread to Jinhua City?"

Chapter 155 Waiting for the rabbit

I have stayed in the remote and poor Guobei County for a long time.

Su Su had never thought that he would hear his name from the mouth of the Sun-wandering God under the City God of Jinhua Prefecture. The spread of his fame would certainly bring an increase in believers, which would directly affect the amount of incense and vows he received, but it would also allow the Guobei County City God Temple to replace most of the functions of the government, leading to the spread of the news that Shintoism was manifested in the world.

However, considering the current situation limited to the vicinity of Jinhua Prefecture, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages overall.

Watch as the Sun God transformed into a stream of light and flew out of Jinhua City.

Su Shucai said to Chang'e thoughtfully, "The Sun-wandering God under the Jinhua City God actually plans to send the civil and military judges from Guobei County to fight against the evil spirits, and a group of ghost soldiers to go out of the city to search for the large group of people being hunted by Pudu Cihang. It seems that there must be a capable person among these people who can hide under the noses of the many ghosts and gods in Jinhua Prefecture and has not been discovered until today."

"Why, have you figured out a way to deal with that evil monk?"

Facing the Imperial Master of Pudu Cihang, Chang'e did not regard him as a big threat: "It is better to take action early to avoid more trouble. If the evil monk gains a foothold in Jinhua and converts the nobles in Jinhua City into his puppets, then even if we eliminate the Imperial Master of the evil monk, we will still have to turn around and deal with the puppets he converted. Isn't that asking for trouble?"

According to what the Sun-wandering God had said before, when Pudu Cihang was preaching in the Miyin Temple, the sky was full of flowers and golden lotuses emerged from the ground. Not only did he scare away the dignitaries in Jinhua City, but he also made all the ghosts and gods in Jinhua City believe that he was an immortal Buddha who had come to the world and were willing to be under his command.

Nowadays, the Shinto in Jinhua Prefecture has been settled in a snap by Pudu Cihang.

All he needs to do is convert and control the dignitaries in the city who were intimidated by him, and Jinhua City will be under the control of Pu Du Ci Hang.

Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills, not to mention that Pu Du Ci Hang even uses the name of preaching to maximize the special effects.

The whole process went so smoothly without causing any disturbance. It is believed that within a few days, the reputation of the coming of the Immortal Buddha Pudu Cihang will spread throughout Jinhua Prefecture, and people will come to pay their respects to him in an endless stream, making it even more difficult to find an opportunity to take action.

So there is really no time to delay.

"It's time to start sooner."

Su Su agreed straightforwardly and whispered, "Since the ghosts and gods in Jinhua City are planning to send the civil and military judges and ghost soldiers of Guobei County out of the city to participate in the search, we can use this as an excuse to set up an ambush in advance and wait for the opportunity. Regardless of whether we can find the large group of people being hunted by Pudu Cihang, we can lead this evil monk out of Jinhua City."

She originally planned to wait passively until dark, and only when Pu Du Ci Hang could not help but leave Mi Yin Temple and go out of the city would she have the opportunity to take action.

Now that he knew that there were many of Pu Du Ci Hang's own people working under him, the idea of turning the passive situation into the active one suddenly emerged in Su Su's mind.

All I can say is: fate is wonderful beyond words.

"It is just past noon now, and the Yang energy between heaven and earth is strong. As long as we can lure the evil monk out of the city, it will be easy to get rid of his imperial master."

Stopping the work of cleaning up the long-abandoned yard, Chang'e quickly walked up to Su Su and said, "The parade gods just now may have taken some actions outside the city. We must set off immediately without delay."

Then he took the book from Su Su's hand and stuffed it into the bookbox beside him.

"If you want to go out of town for an outing, you have to do it early. There are constant bandit problems in Jinhua, and it's not peaceful at night."

Su Su raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Seeing that the other party was so into the play, she naturally had no objection and said, "You know that it's not peaceful outside Jinhua City at night, so why didn't you make preparations earlier?"

"The villain obeys your orders."

Chang'e lowered her head and packed her bookcase, put on Xie Gong's clogs, and went out of the city like the master and servant going out for an outing as usual.

The two of them mingled in the crowd, Su Su was in front and Chang'e followed closely behind halfway. Not long after, they left Jinhua City from the Baoning Gate in the south of the city.

The weather is clear, the sun is shining, and there is an occasional warm spring breeze, which makes people feel refreshed. Compared with Guobei County, which is located in poor mountains and bad waters, Jinhua City is located at the intersection of Dongyang and Jinhua Rivers, surrounded by mountains on three sides and scattered basins, which is a typical Jiangnan water town.

The land is flat and the water network is dense. It should be a peaceful and prosperous land of fish and rice.

But after leaving the city, you can still see the remains of innocent people left exposed in the wilderness on the roadside in the suburbs without anyone to collect them. No one knows whether they were killed by evil spirits or refugees from the north who died outside the city because they had nowhere else to go.

Seeing that there was no one around, Su Su's mind was filled with divine power. He stretched out his hand and pointed slightly, and the remains of the innocent dead exposed in the wilderness immediately sank into the ground, barely being buried in peace.

The further you go out of the city, the more common this situation becomes, and it's not just the refugees who die on the roadside.

Su Su even saw a corpse dug out from a mud pit in a dense forest near a river. The corpse's face was hacked to death with knife marks all over it, its face deliberately disfigured, and its chest pierced by a sharp blade. Its internal organs and intestines were all over the ground, and the back of its head was shriveled up like a hollowed-out watermelon. The skull fragments were scattered on the ground, and the brain inside was missing.

The knife wounds all over the corpse were enough to be fatal, and all the personal belongings were looted, which was obviously the work of robbers; and eating human blood and brains was the behavior of evil demons who stole people's popularity for cultivation.

It can be seen that what Chang'e said just now about the endless banditry in Jinhua was not false.

Not only are there evil spirits and ghosts in Jinhua that harm people, but there are also bandits and robbers who are also a cause of concern.

"Tsk... We are only a few steps away from the outskirts of Jinhua, and there are robbers killing people and dumping bodies near the official road. Then there are monsters digging up graves and eating the brains of the dead. It seems that the situation is not much better than the previous Guobei County."

There were pedestrians passing by on the official road. They were not surprised by the dead bodies in the dense forest. They just hurriedly avoided them when passing this section of the road.

Therefore, Su Su could not use any means to bury the corpse that was dug out from the mud pit back into the ground.

I looked up at the sun. It was almost noon now. The sun was setting, and the clouds were increasing. The clear sky was slowly becoming gloomy. In less than two hours, it would be dusk.

"My lord, you are walking in a remote area. You are not going out of town for an outing. You are clearly looking for the dead bodies lying on the roadside. This scene really scares me to death."

Looking at the dead body on the roadside whose brain was hollowed out by the monster, Chang'e pretended to be frightened and her face turned pale.

Judging from her tone, she seemed a little puzzled by Su Su's aimless behavior of walking farther and farther away after leaving the city.

As Su Shu walked, he looked at the many people walking together a few hundred meters ahead on the official road, and whispered, "I am not running around like a headless fly. I followed the people in front of me with bloody faces and gradually found this place. Some of them have ordinary faces, and only came here together were they stained with this thick bloody disaster. This shows that the large group of people being chased by Pudu Cihang must have come into contact with them."

Chapter 156 Do you want to die?

As the sky darkened and gloomy, a continuous cold wind blew from nowhere, which was obviously a prelude to the appearance of ghosts. The people walking in front of Su Su and Chang'e realized that something was wrong and quickly quickened their pace, wanting to finish this dangerous official road before the sky became completely dark.

Before the afternoon, the sky was already dark and the cold wind swayed the branches and leaves of the trees, as if a heavy rain was about to pour.

Feeling the occasional cold wind, Su Su followed the people walking in front of him at a distance. He turned his head to look at the source of the cold wind and thought to himself, "There are ghosts among the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees. They are all ghost messengers and ghost soldiers under the command of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture."

The large-scale appearance of so many ghost officials and evil soldiers can only mean one thing.

That was the trace of the large group of people being hunted by Pu Du Ci Hang.

"Sir, there are gusts of cold wind around us. Could it be haunted?"

With a frightened look on her face, Chang'e walked quickly to Su Fu's side. She looked around cautiously with uneasy eyes, and was timid and extremely frightened.

Su Su straightened his attitude, looked at the ghost messengers and ghost soldiers passing by in front of him on the cold wind, and said nonsense in a serious tone: "A gentleman respects ghosts and gods but keeps away from them. Where are there any ghosts in this world? If there is a ghost in a person's heart, there will be ghosts everywhere; if there is no ghost in a person's heart, then all evil will not arise. Besides, it is still daytime now. Even if there is a ghost, it dare not show up and cause trouble at this time. This is just the cold wind caused by the change in weather and the heavy rain. You are scared pale by this mere change in weather. I am afraid that there is a ghost in your heart! There are many people in front of us on the road. Let's hurry up and catch up with them, so that we can find a place to shelter from the rain together."

The ghosts and gods were present and heard Su Su say that there are no ghosts in the world.

Immediately, a ghost messenger passing by laughed and mocked Su Su to his face, saying that he was blind and could not recognize the great man, and was a pedantic scholar who had read too much and became stupid.

"Sir, you are a gentleman and naturally you are not afraid of ghosts and gods. But I am a villain and I don't have such courage." Chang'e said with a bitter face.

He hurriedly followed behind Su Su, his steps getting faster and faster, and soon he was less than a fist away from Su Su. His eyes were filled with anxiety and he looked around more frequently, fearing that something horrible would suddenly appear.

"What a fearless person."

The ghost who had been sneering earlier suddenly turned around, glared at Su Fu fiercely, and said angrily: "If we were not busy with the imperial teacher's orders and had no time, we would have taught you a lesson, a pedantic scholar who has no fear of ghosts and gods."

"The Imperial Master has already left Jinhua City. He is a figure like an immortal or Buddha. When he passes by here and sees this pedantic scholar speak rudely again, we will make him suffer the consequences without any action."

The ghost who was accompanying him spoke out to persuade him, and then the ghost turned around and walked away quickly.

If you say something careless, the ghosts and gods will bear grudge against you.

Seeing these ghost messengers and ghost soldiers passing by on the cold wind drifting away, Su Fu tilted his head to look at Chang'e, raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Look, the ghost messenger was about to leave, but he was offended by your words."

"If I don't say anything to provoke them, how could they accidentally reveal that the evil monk Fajia has left Jinhua City? When the evil monk kills people to silence them, who knows, these ghost officials may even thank us for saving their lives." Upon hearing this, Chang'e raised her head slightly and replied in a low voice without leaving any trace.

In order to prevent his deeds from being exposed and the evidence in the hands of the large group of people he was chasing from becoming known to others, Pudu Cihang even spared no civilians who had come into contact with these people, not to mention the ghost messengers and soldiers under the command of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture, all of whom had to be wiped out by him.

So strictly speaking, Su Su's elimination of Pu Du Ci Hang's imperial master's Dharma carriage did save their lives.

"What you said makes sense..."

Su Su was speechless for a while.

A few more gusts of cold wind blew by, and ghost messengers and ghost soldiers floated past them one after another on the cold wind. Pedestrians traveling on the official road all felt the biting cold sweeping in from all directions, and along with the biting cold came clusters of dark green ghost fires emerging from the darkness in the woods by the roadside, which made people shudder.

But it didn't take long.

The will-o'-the-wisp fire that appeared in the dark woods by the roadside became dazzling to the point where it was visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly disappeared like a dream bubble.

Su Fu signaled to Chang'e with his eyes.

The other party understood and opened his eyes wide, took a step forward and stuck close to Su Su's side, and said in a panic: "This really offended the gods and ghosts. We should not stay here for long. Sir, let's go quickly."

Before Chang'e finished speaking, Su Fu showed an expression of inexplicable panic and was pushed by the other party to run on the official road.

After running for just over a mile, he barely caught up with the many people who were quickening their pace on the road.

In this situation, everyone just wanted to finish walking this official road as quickly as possible and then find a place to stay to avoid the heavy rain. They had no time to care about Su Su and Chang'e who were catching up from behind.

As he ran, the cold wind became stronger, causing the branches and leaves of the trees to sway.

But in an instant, the violently shaking branches and leaves of the trees suddenly stopped, and the cold wind that had been blowing continuously seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Su Su looked back and saw hundreds of ghost soldiers under the command of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture standing on both sides, with carriages and horses leading the way in front, surrounded by a dozen maids who looked like monks but not monks, and looked like Taoists but not Taoists in the middle. Guarded by the maids was a Dharma stand with a nine-grade lotus platform on top and supported by cranes at the bottom.

At this time, white silk was flying on the stand, and a golden-robed monk with a pointed monk's hat could be vaguely seen sitting in the middle. He had kind eyes and a ruddy complexion, and Buddhist beads the size of a bowl were hanging in front of him, emitting wisps of Buddha's light.

This is undoubtedly the imperial master Pudu Cihang’s Dharma carriage.

Pu Du Ci Hang sat upright on a lotus platform with his hands clasped in front of him. He did not speak, but there were bursts of Sanskrit sounds around him, making him look like a high-level monk.

Sanskrit is the voice of Buddha and Bodhisattva, its sound is like thunder, and it contains the wonders of four arguments and eight sounds, namely, uprightness, harmony, clarity, and depth. It can make the listeners' hearts pure and their thoughts clear, and it can also touch people's hearts of respect and love.

However, when the Sanskrit sounds surrounding Pudu Cihang reached their ears, many people who were hurrying on their way could not help but close their eyes, sweating profusely and with looks of pain on their faces.

This is not the Buddhist Sanskrit sound that can bring peace to one’s heart; it is clearly the devil’s sound that penetrates one’s brain.

"coming!"

The imperial master of Pudu Cihang was only a few hundred meters away from Su Fu and Chang'e, and the distance was still getting closer. In particular, Pudu Cihang's incarnation made of human skin was sitting on the lotus pedestal, and his glaring target was not concealed at all.

In addition, there were either ghost messengers and soldiers under the command of the City God of Jinhua Prefecture, or civilians on the road who were suffering from the Buddhist chanting surrounding Pudu Cihang, which created a perfect opportunity for Su Shu and Chang'e to launch a sneak attack.

The Yang God's magic power gathered at his fingertips, and the extremely bright electromagnetic coil gathered and took shape in the blink of an eye. He did not choose the method of slowly absorbing fine iron sand to use as projectiles, but attached the green bamboo fan in his sleeve with magnetism and put all the vigorous magic power in his heart onto it.

"It's worth it that I've been acting for so long."

Su Fu's mind moved slightly, and he immediately showed his divine body wearing a black crown and a crown on his head. While shooting out a green bamboo fan with a huge amount of power to exorcise evil spirits, he shouted loudly: "Pudu Cihang, you evil monk are so bold that you dare to come to Jinhua to cause trouble. Are you trying to save your life?"

Chapter 157 Without delay

When Zhuan Zhu assassinated Wang Liao, a comet hit the moon; when Nie Zheng assassinated Han Kui, a white rainbow pierced the sun; when Yao Li assassinated Qing Ji, a cang eagle flew down to the palace.

In a flash, Su Su transformed into the body of the King of Hell, and the green bamboo fan from his sleeve, which was endowed with the power to drive away evil spirits, shot out like a gust of wind.

I saw a ball of white light compressed to the extreme, wrapped in lightning, and flew straight towards Pu Du Ci Hang who was sitting on the lotus platform.

The bright lightning mixed with the green bamboo fan that emitted divine light carried the righteous spirit of slaying demons and eliminating evil, and at noon the yang energy was strong between heaven and earth. The two combined and their power was doubled, instantly dispelling the empty Sanskrit sound that was like a devil's sound penetrating the brain and making Pu Du Ci Hang sweat all over and suffer unbearable pain.

Wherever the lightning passed, the cold wind stopped and the dark clouds disappeared.

The distance of just a few hundred meters seemed to be split in half by a long sword, and golden light descended from the clouds.

In the blink of an eye, the green bamboo fan wrapped in lightning hit the Dharma frame of National Master Pu Du Ci Hang who was sitting on the lotus platform, and passed through his body easily.

"Boom!"

A loud bang like a thunderclap exploded on the chariot of the national teacher Pu Du Ci Hang, followed by Pu Du Ci Hang's strange screams with a ferocious look on his face.

The huge Buddhist beads that were emitting wisps of Buddha's light hanging in front of Pudu Cihang were shattered into pieces, and his clasped hands and most of his torso from the neck to the chest and abdomen were smashed into pieces, revealing his pale white skin stained with scarlet blood.

Most of the body was blown to pieces on the spot, leaving only a head with a shocked and ferocious expression. If it happened to an ordinary monster or even a cultivator, it would be enough to shatter its spirit, causing it to die.

However, on the imperial teacher's chariot of Pudu Cihang, there were still some broken tentacles that shrank into the remaining human head, barely lingering on.

The centipede insect is dead but not stiff.

"An assassin attacked the Imperial Master!"

"Escort me, protect me quickly."
