Chapter Thirty-Two: The Great Hero Shen Tuchi

  This Shen Tuh-chi was originally a great hero in the countryside who loved to help those in trouble. Later, for the sake of killing someone, he was caught by the government after committing murder.

  The result enraged all the wandering heroes in the county, and they went directly to rob the prison and rescue people. In the middle of the night, they killed their way into the county prison...

  Liu Yi was shocked, these people were so bold and lawless. So-called wandering heroes, they were probably just a group of unruly rascals!

  As a result, although he broke into the county prison, Shen Tudi refused to leave and said that if you kill someone, you should pay with your life, and if you owe someone money, you should repay it. I killed someone, so I should pay with my life. It's not worth implicating so many friends in jailbreak and violating national law. So he committed suicide in prison, taking the blame for the jailbreak on himself alone.

  The county magistrate did not dare to make it public, and so the matter was dropped!

  Liu Yi was shocked upon hearing this. He had originally thought that after these people escaped from prison, they would either flee to the ends of the earth or become mountain bandits, but he never could have imagined that Shen Tuiqi was such a person.

  It seems like what is recorded in the historical records about those chivalrous heroes really exists.

  After Shen Tudi's death, the villagers admired him and secretly worshipped him, which became a custom. Later, he became a great general under Gan Chi, the King of Ghosts. It is said that he was born to benefit the people and would never harm them for his own gain.

  The King of Ghosts refused to listen and left with his subordinates for the Gantai Cliff. The King of Ghosts was furious and sent out 500 ghost soldiers to attack, but they were defeated by Xingtou being killed by Shentu Qi. In the end, nothing came of it!

  "Is there such a person?" Liu Yi originally just asked casually, but now that he's heard it, he's also quite interested.

  This world is full of wandering ghosts who are struggling to survive. On the one hand, they envy and resent the living; on the other hand, they can absorb the vital energy of the living to strengthen themselves. It can be said that they are naturally enemies of the living.

  When Shen Tudi was alive, he could be considered a hero in his own right; after death, he still managed to maintain his integrity. Unlike those vengeful spirits like Yuan Fang who were twisted by their emotions, this is even more remarkable.

  Think about it, I have a certain reputation, and under my command there are also several dozen resentful ghosts. Yesterday, when fighting against the city's ghost soldiers, we were still at a disadvantage. For Shen Tudi to be able to defeat all 500 ghost soldiers, even if he relied on the terrain, is still quite impressive! He can truly be considered a hero among ghosts!

  Thinking of this, he said: "How can such a heroic and powerful ghost be recruited?"

  Li heard this and smiled: "The Divine Lord is also a person who has received the divine seal. Today's reception of us is so generous, it seems that he is not a petty person! It seems that Shen Tui can be recruited, but I'm afraid of offending Gan Chi, the Ghost King."

  What a joke, the Ghost King of Gan Chi Pool, Liu Yi didn't really take it to heart. He just thought that if Shen Tuqi was indeed so powerful, his small territory, just these two or three villages, where could he recruit people from?

  Cheng An also laughed and pointed at the resentful ghosts recruited by Liu Yi, saying: "These kinds of people, in the divine realm's dojo, are no different from those in the mortal world's heavens. Every day they can get enough to eat and drink, and today they even have sacrificial wine and meat. This kind of treatment is comparable to that of a family with incense offerings. The ghost king may sound mighty, but it's not necessarily something he can enjoy!"

  "Right!" said Li Da. "If Shen Qiang doesn't come, it's his own loss!

  Liu Yi thought so too, anyway try it out for yourself first. It's also good if you can establish some relationship with him.

  And I wonder, is the life of ghosts in this world really so miserable? That Gān Chí Ghost King, under his command, has gathered over a thousand ghost soldiers, majestic and powerful, patrolling the countryside. Wherever he goes, no matter which village, they have to offer pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and other bloody food.

  With such prestige and power, there's no reason to live in such a miserable state. It must be that Cheng An and the others exaggerated things.

  That Shen Tudi is such a character, the villagers must have secretly worshipped him, and his life won't be too bad. However, for such a hero, even if he can't be recruited temporarily, it's not bad to make friends with him.

  Thinking of it, they waited until nightfall, when Cheng An and the two ghosts took their leave. Liu Yi then sent out Si Hua, bearing gifts, to go to Gao Shouyan's place.

  In the world of ghosts, the most precious thing is the food of deceit. It was transformed by the power of will and originally rare, so it's treasured.

  Liu Yi was not much, can be directly with divine power manifestation out, this is simpler.

  He had originally thought that recruiting Shen Tuchi would be difficult, but unexpectedly, things went very smoothly. Si Huai brought gifts to Gao Shou Ya and before dawn broke, he was already leading a group of twenty strong ghosts back.

  When Liu Yi appeared, the leading ghost knelt down and said: "The god is not disdainful of our humble status, but instead recruits us. How dare we disobey!"

  Liu Yi was slightly surprised to see the new ghostly objects, each with a condensed soul body. In the misty air around them, their figures were vaguely visible, and he knew they were much stronger than Zheng Wu and others under his command. However, their armor and clothes looked quite old and worn out.

  Especially when the leader, Shen Tui Qi, stood upright and still, his body gradually condensed into a mist that was about to solidify into armor. This was very formidable.

  Not to mention martial arts skills, just this eerie aura alone is enough to surpass ten vengeful spirits under Liu Yi's command.

  Watching, Liu Yi smiled and said: "I've long heard of Shen Tu's heroic spirit, today I see it for myself, indeed it's not false. Are these all your subordinates... good, good..."

  Bring out the means to comfort people's hearts, Shen Tudi and others are not in a good situation. Seeing the land of Taoist temple is spacious, with bright light shining down, reflecting a large pavilion covering a wide area, clearly with incense and blessings.

  Farewell to Liu Yi, who is once again dressed in a Taoist robe, with a pure and upright aura, looking solemn and majestic, not daring to look directly at him. In their hearts, they couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

  I didn't expect that at all, I originally thought Liu Yi was just a minor deity like a social god, but it turns out he has such depth, this makes me even more delighted.

  Liu Yi once again set up a banquet and invited the newly arrived ghosts. They drank freely until dawn.

  After arranging for Shentu Qi and his group to settle in, Liu Yi returned to the Ling Xiao Pavilion. He activated the Xuan Dou Ghost Emperor's True Spirit Technique, refining and replenishing some of his divine power. Then, he was once again spirited and refreshed.

  I had secretly thought that Cheng An's two words were exaggerating how heroic and extraordinary Shentu Qi was. I really thought he was a mighty hero, but today I saw him come at the wave of my hand, and what's more, looking quite flustered. My impression of him has dropped slightly.

  He took out the divine seal that Cheng An had sent over, and it looked like it was made of black iron. There were inscriptions on it, but he couldn't recognize a single one.

  Holding it in his hand, he pinched a tactic. The Ghost Emperor's Heart Seal emerged, emitting a faint red and white glow, which swallowed the Black Iron God Seal.

  Liu Yi closed his eyes and didn't open them again until after a while. He slowly said: "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

  As he had expected earlier, this so-called Divine Imprint was indeed similar to the Summoning Symbol. However, the divine path in this world was far from perfect and couldn't compare to the Six Dao Heaven's Classics.

  This is what they call the Black Iron God Seal, roughly equivalent to Liu Yi's current Tai Xiao Yang Tian Fu Summoning. However, the law is very simple and can't compare to half of the Tai Xiao Yang Tian Fu Summoning.
