Chapter 14: Ghosts Confuse the Mind and Irritate the Spirits
However, Liu Yi is now in no mood to take a good look at his own Daoist temple, but instead looks anxiously outside.
The people in these two villages gradually became agitated and even had a taste of wanting to fight.
In this square world, two adjacent villages, for fields, for river water. There are many things that fight each other.
Even in Liu Yi's previous world, he had seen with his own eyes the situation where two villages fought over water during a drought.
Originally, the three villages at the foot of the mountain had a rather harmonious relationship, and they weren't too close in distance. They intermarried with each other, but didn't have to fight over anything.
But this time, it seemed as though both sides were about to fight over a completely useless idol.
Liu Yi Ke didn't think that his followers on both sides would fight each other like mad dogs!
But at this moment, as it happens, two tax officials with flushed faces and a strong smell of wine walked up the mountain.
It stunned both villagers at once. Before tax collection time, where would these tax officials normally go to such a rural place? Not to mention, they usually only collect taxes in the village, let alone come up to the mountain?
For a moment, they were at a loss. Instead, it stunned the villagers on both sides and made them forget about the conflict.
"These several tax officials, their luck and fortune are much more prosperous than ordinary people." Liu Yi saw this in his heart and secretly thought, giving rise to some bad premonitions.
Although it wasn't said, intuitively, Liu Yi knew that these two guys were there to deal with him.
They took a closer look and found that there was a strand of upright white gas on their heads, which made them different from ordinary people and gathered the scattered aura around their bodies.
In this way, the two tax officials' vital energy will be at least ten times stronger than that of ordinary people.
Now two people walked over, and the more than 100 villagers from the two villages were suddenly silenced.
Liu Yi was secretly shocked, and the majesty of Judge Wang's anger was consistent! He calculated that even he himself would have to exert great effort to suppress the official air of these two people.
No way, we must think of a way to deal with them, strike first.
The spirits communicate, Liu Yi originally in the world played with the likes of disk spirits, and could summon lonely souls and wild ghosts to answer many things. Not to mention Liu Yi, who has a symbol to summon and enjoys incense as a true god. Since he felt the full malice between the two, this was absolutely not wrong!
It's a desperate situation, so I'll take the initiative. However, how to do it also requires strategy. Fortunately, this is just next to my own dojo, and it's my home turf. A plan was born in Liu Yi's mind.
Liu Yi brought out the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal, and a bit of divine power was ignited by Liu Yi without any politeness. It all transformed into a cloud of gas that rushed into the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal. The Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal flew out, grew larger, and pressed down on the two people's heads.
However, the official aura on their heads was so strong that it stood upright all the time. The Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal couldn't suppress it!
Liu Yi gritted his teeth again, and this time he continued to burn, consuming all the divine power he had stored up, transforming into a cloud of gas that shot into the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal.
The Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal, which was originally slowly rotating in the void and looked somewhat illusory, suddenly became gradually solidified, even revealing its texture.
The delicate wooden texture, the natural grain of the wood, reveals a sense of quality. This firmly pressed down on the heads of two people, forcing the upright white air to bend downward.
"It's just two tax officials, yet they can consume so much spiritual power to suppress me. This official aura is really too powerful! Fortunately, I have the Ghost Emperor's seal in my hand, otherwise, other ghosts and gods, like the She God, would be powerless to do anything but watch."
Liu Yi thought to himself, this was still because the two tax officials were drunk and their willpower was originally lax. Otherwise, Liu Yi might not have been able to suppress his official air.
After accumulating for so many days, Liu Yi only had this much divine power. Last time, offering the Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal consumed almost half of it.
This time, in order to deal with these two tax officials, half of it was consumed again. Every bit of spiritual power is enough to sustain Liu Yi's basic consumption for a day.
All of a sudden, so much divine power was used up. It made Liu Yi's heart ache, but now is the crucial moment. Without thinking, Liu Yi knew that it must be related to that Sha God!
At this time, Zhao Cheng stepped forward and politely asked: "I don't know what the two gentlemen are doing here?" He had been blocking them just now, otherwise they would have started fighting a long time ago.
The two of them were drunk, with the smell of alcohol spraying onto Zhao Cheng's face. The official air was suppressed again, and his personal aura was also suppressed, making his head dizzy.
If it were normal times, seeing two villages fighting here would be strange. I will definitely clarify the situation first and not speak rashly.
But now they are dizzy. In this case, it's called being haunted by a ghost. Many times, it's used to describe people who suddenly become confused. For example, when serving rice, holding the bowl halfway, suddenly forgetting what one is doing... standing there in a daze for half a day.
Most people have similar experiences, in rural areas, it's called being haunted by ghosts or being urged on by ghosts.
Ordinary small matters are nothing to worry about, but at critical moments, if one's mind becomes muddled, it may lead to big trouble.
"What are you doing? We've come to smash this temple... This is against the rules, what god is this, where did it come from? Who allowed a temple to be built?"
If it were an ordinary time, these two people who eat official meals would have been clever enough. It can be seen that as soon as this sentence was spoken, the eyes of the villagers on both sides became somewhat unnatural.
According to the imperial laws and regulations, even the gods of the earth are exposed in the open. The temple is also the name of an official institution, such as the county temple, the Taipu Temple, the Honglu Temple, etc... The temple is actually the name of the imperial palace!
It's like this kind of rural small temple, let alone dare to build a temple, even if it's just a pavilion-like building, it's all against the rules. It can be demolished at any time!
It's just that this law is something that ordinary people wouldn't understand. As soon as they heard that the statue was going to be smashed, everyone started getting angry.
Especially now, two people start acting dead: "You go and give us a hand to smash this wild god..."
Normally, villagers are intimidated and obey. But the land god is so efficacious, more importantly, the official airs of these two guys have been suppressed.
At this time, their official air could not suppress the common people's breath. Moreover, there were many benefits to Liu Yi.
Especially Wang Jia and his son, at this moment their eyes turned red: "Good dog, actually thinking of smashing the land god. Grandpa will take you to see your ancestors!"
As he spoke, he raised his cleaver and, although he said he was going to kill someone, he used the back of the blade and struck a tax collector on the head. Immediately, fresh blood flowed down from his forehead.
