Chapter 22: Seeing Green Air on Top
Even if there were originally resentment and hatred towards each other, they have now been differentiated. They can no longer unite as one...
It's just a smile, the logic of this mortal world. After all, it can only be applied to part of the way of ghosts and gods. After all, the power of the divine path comes from oneself, from the summons, from the divine position. None of them can be missing!
This summons is his own private property and no one else can covet it!
He then called out to one side and asked: "Are you a member of the Yuan family? Why have you ended up in this place?"
"Those petty people are from the Ruan family, originally they had some kinship with the local Shenshen, that's why they drifted here. Who knew that Ruan Ping wouldn't even think of their relationship..." He said, indignantly.
In this world, except for the direct ancestors who can offer sacrifices to three generations, all other relatives are not offered sacrifices. Even in the imperial family, only seven temples were offered, and if they passed through seven generations, they would no longer be offered sacrifices, and even the ancestral temple would be destroyed. This is called "destroying when the kinship ends".
The imperial family is like this, let alone the small Lan Fang. It's just that for those involved, they are lonely and wandering, while their clansmen enjoy incense and offerings, which makes them even more resentful!
Just as Liu Yipan was asking Ruan Fang about the situation at the Ruan's house, Ruan Ping was kneeling in front of a ghost, sobbing.
This is a ghostly god, wearing an official robe. On the top of his head, there is a white divine light, faintly revealing a hint of red.
"How dare you be so bold, how dare you drive out the She God and occupy her position!" The official ghost god said coldly with a smile: "Being driven out by a lonely ghost, what a big joke, do you still have the face to come back..."
He was both angry and heartbroken. Although the temple is small, it's not easy for the Yan family to occupy one, but now it has been taken away by someone, how can he not be angry?
"Old ancestor," shouted Ping, "that's no ordinary spirit. It has treasures, and you can see it on my forehead!"
The official saw the ghost and let out a cold hum. Originally they didn't notice, but now that they took a look, they suddenly went "huh?"
"Out came the law seal imprint, with floral patterns emerging, accompanied by clouds, smoke, and fog, as well as the shapes of insects, fish, dragons, and birds. It even brought a hint of Taoist rhythm."
"It's indeed a treasure!" The official's ghostly spirit stirred with excitement upon seeing it. Greed arose in his heart, replacing the original pain and anger he had felt. He now turned his anger into joy, thinking that he must get his hands on this treasure at all costs.
"With the Tao rhyme, it's really extraordinary. I've been a ghost official in this county for so long and have accumulated some savings. Being able to obtain this treasure and grasp a few points of the Tao rhyme, even if I don't say anything, I'll still rise to another level!"
Having had this idea, he was originally unwilling to let Liu Yi go, and at this time, he couldn't wait to take action.
After hearing this plain statement about Liu Yi's various cruelties, the ghost thought to himself: This man is indeed cruel, not someone who can be easily dealt with.
"Alright, since using force won't work, then let's use cunning! Fan Ping is starting to get those two tax officials involved, and he's doing it just right. This matter should be handled from this angle..."
Thinking that my family has connections and influence in both the underworld and the world of the living. To mobilize the county magistrate would be impossible, but to mobilize the lower-ranking county officials, or even directly mobilize the power of the local strongmen, would already be enough to bring people to their deaths.
The problem is that it's better if others don't find out about the treasure. This matter should be carefully planned!
But at the same time, in the spiritual realm of the Dao field, Liu Yi was also calculating.
"So be it, I've driven away the evil spirit. The Yan family will never let me off no matter what!"
"Ah! The ancestors of the Ruan family who enjoy the incense offerings are only seven or eight, and it's already difficult to have a position as a social god outside. I don't know how many tricks were used to get this, and how much luck was added to the Ruan family... Where would they be willing to let it go for nothing?"
This completely shattered Liu Yi's illusions. It seems that these two families will not rest until one of them is destroyed.
"I've been drifting outside for many years, and I don't know what's going on recently. But the most formidable one in the Ruan family is the old ancestor. He sits as a literary official in the City God Temple and is highly trusted by the City God. Be careful of him!" Ruan Fang wished he could expose all the secrets of the Ruan family.
What does it matter where I come from? I've been drifting around like a lonely ghost for so long, but the Pan family hasn't given me any benefits at all.
On the contrary, being able to stay in this spiritual realm now depends on Liu Yi's protection.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "I know, you go ahead!"
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but sigh. No wonder this world is full of resentful ghosts, even if ancestors are not offered incense and food, or sacrifices of blood.
At this time, he suddenly felt a strange and unfamiliar willpower transmitted over. Unconsciously, Liu Yi let out an "ah" and quickly fell backwards.
At this time, the ceremony in Fengli was soon over. The incense smoke rose into the air and the bronze incense burner was already filled with a layer of ash.
"May the God of Land bless, may my son have a successful education and be selected as a filial and incorruptible official. May he marry a wife and have children, bringing glory to our family gate. If so, I can die in peace!"
Chen knelt before the god, muttering prayers and piously kowtowing. In a daze, he saw the image of the god in the green smoke suddenly come to life.
Another daze, but there was no other movement. He lost himself in a smile, afraid that he had just seen flowers in his eyes, and then knocked his head again.
Liu Yi, however, felt a hint of surprise. It was his first time seeing Chen Shi, yet he didn't feel unfamiliar. Last time, there was a surge of spiritual energy that directly transmitted to his temple. At that time, Liu Yi hadn't truly formed his Qi.
This time I saw Chen's family with my own eyes, and I saw the bright light on her head, with a noble air.
Liu Yi was surprised: "The last time I saw Yu Shu, his aura was just ordinary. Although he is a scholar, there is some spiritual light. But there's nothing special about him. Why is Chen Shi different?"
Seeing Chen's head top with a thread of green air hanging down, falling into the Lu fire. This is clearly green air and will not be fake.
Isn't it because of the mother's glory through her son? Is there another reason that can't be explained? Can't figure it out, can't figure it out...
But no matter whether he understood or not, Liu Yi naturally knew that such followers must be caught and could not be let off.
Yu Shu's luck was ordinary, and he wanted to be selected as a filial and incorruptible official, but it wasn't that easy. It was far beyond Liu Yi's ability.
This world is roughly the same as Liu Yi's original world during the Han Dynasty, without a civil service examination system. The selection of personnel relies entirely on local officials to pay attention and select at any time, known as the Chá Jǔ Zhēng Bì system.
However, it is extremely difficult for this system to stand out. At the very least, one must be able to spread their reputation to the ears of provincial officials.
Just this one thing, Yu Shu was born in a remote mountain village, and it's not easy to get through. Lai Fengli is not small in scale, but it's just a small village in Huiling County that doesn't stand out.
