Chapter 23: Danger Lurking Nearby

  Thank you Xi Men...

  To make a name for oneself, one must go out and learn from others. Hoping that the reputation will spread through the mouths of teachers and friends, so as to be known by others.

  How could Liu Yi have such abilities? Chen's wishes, Liu Yi really didn't have the ability to satisfy.

  "A man without long-term plans must have near worries!" Liu Yi thought to himself, unless he wanted to spend his days forever holed up in this mountain valley. Otherwise, he would sooner or later encounter a bottleneck. If he could help Yu Shu today to be selected as a filial and incorruptible official, then tomorrow he would have the opportunity to rely on this person's power to help him break through the situation.

  Although the Liu Yi Lingchi is now only dyed with a hint of red, Liu Yi has a feeling that Fenglai Mountain's place has limited scope and can support himself to reach the level of Chi Tian Summoning Symbol at most. If he wants to break through, he needs a breakthrough opportunity!

  At this time, Chen was supported by the maid beside her. However, Chen said to the maid: "Yin'er, you also come to offer incense to the god of the land!"

  The maid heard this and said: "Yes!" Then she came up to offer incense to Liu Yi.

  At this moment, Liu Yi was suddenly shocked and stared at the silver girl. But it wasn't just because of the girl's beauty, but also because there was a faint blue aura on her head, forming a blue phoenix.

  "How could this be? This maid is under the orders of the imperial concubine!"

  Liu Yi was stunned, suddenly realizing where the faint green aura on Chen's head came from. It turned out that it was brought by the maid who had been possessed. However, Yu Shu's head did not have this aura, and upon closer inspection, his fortune, luck, and longevity were all weak. This proved that it wasn't because of Yu Shu...

  It seems that in the future, the maid will meet a noble person and may even have the good fortune of becoming a queen or imperial concubine.

  Feng Lai Mountain indeed lives up to its reputation. Liu Yi recalled that he had once evaluated the feng shui of this mountain, vaguely seeing a phoenix shape, indicating the birth of a noble girl. Who would have thought it would be fulfilled on this maid's head?

  Just as I was thinking, this green phoenix is extremely proud, emitting a faint clear cry, but it has the intention of not bowing its head.

  Liu Yi saw her and laughed scoldingly: "You little phoenix, now kneel to me for a moment, in the future I'll protect you until your wings are full..."

  After saying that, Qingfeng folded her wings and stood up with a humiliated expression. At this time, Yiner finally knelt down in a daze and burned incense to kowtow to Liu Yi.

  This bow was not tight, and immediately a strand of green air fell from the vastness onto Liu Yi's head. It was a strand of green air that had been separated.

  Although Liu Yi had achieved spiritual enlightenment, the white energy still had some momentum. Even his position as the god of this land was not properly obtained and would lead to future troubles.

  At this moment, a strand of green gas fell and suppressed it, and the white gas around it was all collected. The position of the land god was thoroughly stabilized, and there was no need to worry about future troubles anymore.

  Divided a thread of green air for Liu Yi, the green phoenix originally did not have the makings of a gas candidate, and at this moment it was even more weak and wilted, almost on the verge of collapse.

  Liu Yi saw it and quickly released a divine power. The Qing Feng looked at him with disdain, almost as if he could see Liu Yi's clear and obvious contempt. However, she still opened her mouth and swallowed that ball of divine power.

  The fifty points of divine power were swallowed by Qingfeng like a sugar bean, which was far from enough. Liu Yi gritted his teeth and ruthlessly poured out five hundred points of divine power in one breath.

  That green phoenix swallowed, slowly, its body shape slightly condensed a bit. No longer had the momentum of collapse.

  Liu Yi couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile, as he was currently summoned by Tai Xiangyang's Heaven Symbol, the lowest rank. There was no comparison to be made with this green aura, 500 points couldn't even compare to half a strand of green aura...

  Seeing that Qingfeng's face was full of disdain, Liu Yi couldn't help but shout: "Don't think you're at a disadvantage now, wait until I'm protecting you in the future and see if you still have this kind of expression..."

  Thinking about it, Liu Yi couldn't help but laugh. What was the point of being so worked up over a ball of spiritual energy? Although it was sentient, it wasn't a living thing with emotions or consciousness.

  No matter what, I've gained this thread of spiritual energy. My position as the land's god is now thoroughly secure. As for repayment, that's a matter for later.

  His own fortune was solidified, and he felt a weight off his mind. He had been on guard against the Luan family's revenge, but now it didn't matter much!

  It's true that Yu Shu was originally destined for a mediocre life. However, with the presence of vital energy, it is actually possible to manipulate things a bit, and it's not impossible to make Yu Shu this fellow pass the Imperial Examination as a Filial and Incorruptible Official.

  This matter can't be rushed, it needs to be carefully planned out.

  But what he didn't know was that at this time, Luan Zhen of the Luan family, who was a literary official in the county temple, had already pulled strings and bribed his superiors and subordinates to find fault with Liu Yi.

  "What is called the land god, is certainly a licentious sacrifice, there has never been such a god. To dare to drive away the earth god and set up a temple for oneself, this is extremely arrogant and evil!"

  A horse carriage rattled along, and among them was the master of the Ruan family of this generation, Ruan En, who served as a recorder in the county.

  Behind him followed about a dozen horsemen, or pedestrians, all armed with swords and spears. As they marched along, their majestic appearance caused people on the road to scatter and make way for them.

  "Kuan Jun said it was just a small temple, watch me help you destroy it!"

  The speaker is eager to show off his authority, with more than half of the people around him being his subordinates, and it's just a matter of time before he becomes the leader of the village.

  The subordinates heard it and cheered loudly, which made them seem even more responsive and powerful.

  Patrolling is in charge of catching thieves and maintaining public order. Such an important task naturally requires a person with courage and strength to take on.

  Ren An was originally a wandering knight in the countryside, with many brothers under his command. After becoming a patrol officer, his power increased even more. Otherwise, Luan En wouldn't have asked for his help.

  These people shouted and scolded, completely disregarding Liu Yi. Even if he was possessed by a spirit, what's the big deal? Illicit worship is illegal anyway. If government officials saw it, they would gather people to smash it, which is also being loyal to their duties.

  How can you resist so many men in broad daylight? Among them, there are even several who have killed people, with a fierce aura, ordinary ghosts and gods would rather stay far away.

  A land that no one has ever heard of is nothing but a waste even if it's smashed.

  As he thought so, the carriage rattled and the horse's hooves clattered, and it had already gone towards Fenglai Mountain.

  Liu Yi returned to the Lingjing Daochang at this time, a total of 38 vengeful spirits, all registered and recorded. Only about ten were farmers in their lifetime, while others included craftsmen, soldiers, knights-errant, and merchants.

  It's rare for ordinary farmers to produce such elite warriors! In this world, it's almost a universal conscription system, where nearly everyone has the obligation to become soldiers and fight. Those who are called soldiers are truly battle-hardened veterans who have fought on the battlefield.

  Among them, the most outstanding one was a ghost named Zheng Wu, who had been to Beijiang in those years and fought against the Tusi people outside the pass, and was a real veteran who had seen blood.

  At the moment of division of labor, a few things were casually assigned, and three people who had been soldiers before were picked out, and one wanderer was added to make Zheng Wu lead them. Thus formed a troop of ghost soldiers.
