Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

"Hmph!" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

The giant statue, which was a foot tall and sitting upright, suddenly collapsed into a clay statue. Then, with a loud noise, countless treasures rolled out, filling up most of the hall!

Golden ingots and white silver bars are piled up like mountains!

Pearls and agates sparkle, emerald and coral shine brightly!

There are countless curious toys and ancient paintings!

There are thousands of official seals and talismans!

Who would have thought?

Right in this majestic Holy Emperor Temple, beneath the mighty statue, is the place where the treasure is hidden!

"This... this!" Li Laogen was so frightened that his whole body was shaking. He half-bent his legs and wanted to kneel but didn't dare to. He replied in panic: "I really don't know anything! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"It's not your fault!" Lin Ji flicked his sleeves and blew Li Laogen out of the door, then cursed him in hatred: "You are so good, Liang Datou! I have given you two good fortunes, but I didn't expect that you would bear such bad consequences! Now, it's time for karma to pay off! ”

call!

Just as he finished speaking, a breeze blew out through the door.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the large plaque with the words "Saint Emperor Temple" hanging above the door shattered into ashes. Even the entire magnificent hall shook violently and collapsed with a loud bang!

……

Liangzhou, the former site of Qingyang.

Amidst the devastation and under the scorching sun, people were shouting and horses were neighing in a busy scene.

Thousands of civilians were pulling carts of huge logs and stones with horses.

Each root of the wood was half a meter thick, and they were all top-quality golden nanmu!

Those stones are as big as cows, and they are all made of whole red jade!

Such luxury was extremely rare even in the ancient Qin Dynasty!

The shouts came one after another, as loud as thunder!

Drops of sweat fall like rain!

Almost everyone was exhausted and almost out of strength, but there was no resentment on their faces. Instead, they all looked happy.

What is even more peculiar is that there is smoke rising from cooking all around: countless middle-aged women are busy cooking and cooking, while old people and children are also busy building fires and collecting firewood.

It was the same. Everyone was pale and thin, looking frail, but everyone had a look of joy on their face.

The whole Qingyang was in chaos and there was no one to keep watch. Yet everyone was working hard and no one was lazy or slacking off!

Not far away, there was a pergola in front of the half-collapsed old yamen.

A hundred or so strong men in distinctive clothes and armor were lined up in a row. In the middle, lying on a rocking chair was a fat white man as big as a bucket.

The fat man half-closed his eyes, took a sip of the cold tea that the maid handed to his mouth, waved his hand lazily and said impatiently: "This Qinghe County is too ignorant! Back then, if the Holy Emperor hadn't tracked it down and killed the tabby cat demon, all the children in Qinghe would have been eaten up! All those old bones would have no descendants!"

“Not to mention that when the Toad Monster was wreaking havoc, the entire Qinghe region suffered the heaviest casualties, with lonely ghosts and resentful spirits filling the wilderness! If it weren’t for the righteousness of the Holy Emperor, there wouldn’t be a single human presence in his Baili Qinghe region?!”

"What did that old man from the Zhang family say a few days ago? Didn't he say that everyone in Qinghe, young and old, should remember the grace of the Holy Emperor's rebirth and should do their best to repay the kindness? What? Are you just going to use these broken bricks and tiles to fool around?! Humph!"

"Zhao Wu, tell Qinghe to have some conscience!"

"I will follow the orders of King Liang!" A sturdy man with pockmarks on his face puffed out his chest and responded.

Another pretty girl, who looked only eight or nine years old, was standing behind the rocking chair. She quickly took advantage of the opportunity to put the freshly peeled lychees into the fat man's mouth.

The fat man chewed the food twice with great pleasure, and the sweet juice flowed out. He put his fat hand over to hug the fat maid who was fanning him, rubbed her up and down on her legs, and said, "What about Qingshan County? What kind of rubbish did they send?"

"Qingshan County has nothing to give you as a gift, but instead demands forty taels of silver from you!" A thunderous sound suddenly came from my ears.

"Damn it! What a big dog..." The fat man was furious. He opened his eyes suddenly, but suddenly he was stunned.

The hunchbacked old man Zhang was no longer in sight. Instead, there stood a tall and straight figure in green.

The fat man stared blankly for a long time, then suddenly woke up! He fell to his knees with a thud. He kowtowed repeatedly and shouted loudly: "Long live the Holy Emperor, long live the Holy Emperor, long live the Holy Emperor!"

When they heard his shout, the men standing in neat rows all knelt down.

The skinny old man standing next to the rocking chair, holding the account books in his hands, wiped his eyes in disbelief, then stumbled to his knees. "Long live, long live, long live..."

The shouts spread in all directions, and thousands of people in Qingyang who were working hard turned their heads to look.

Those with sharp ears recognized the shouts of "Long live the emperor" and quickly knelt down and shouted.

Someone with sharp eyes recognized that the man was the former Constable Lin, the current Holy Emperor. He also pulled the old man and the child down and bent over.

"Long live Long live Long live……"

The shouts resounded through the sky and filled the blue sun.

"Several years ago, I was here to capture a local." Lin Ji didn't even look at Liang Datou, who was kneeling in front of him and had become fat and changed. He looked sideways at the sky and said aloud, "At that time, I killed monsters and people, and even fought hundreds of ghosts with a sword outside the city."

"I've owed money, cheated on my friends, and even wandered around in my spare time."

"But I have never hurt anyone in the slightest! Everything, good or evil, has a cause and an effect! It was so then, and it is so now!"

"Back then, there was a young man whose father had died and whose mother was ill. He was weak and powerless, so he had no choice but to steal money from others."

"I saw that he was filial and I couldn't bear it. I gave him five taels of silver and allowed him to work for Master Zhang again. To correct evil is to be righteous, to be filial is to be virtuous. This was the first good karma I had with that young man."

As Lin Ji spoke, his sleeves fluttered slightly, and the thin old man kneeling beside him was blown up by a breeze, and his back, which had been hunched like a hook for a long time, gradually straightened up.

The former money-stealing boy who was kneeling upright in front of Lin Ji, now a greedy bully, was already shivering with sweat, his back was visibly bent, and the hair on his head turned snow-white in an instant, as if it had been frosted overnight!

"A few years ago, I passed by Qingyang again..."

Lin Ji lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the dilapidated city wall that was not very tall and strong to begin with, and now had collapsed long ago, and continued:

"At that time, Qingyang had first been ravaged by demons and then by bandits, and it had already fallen into ruin. The people were desperate and had to flee for their lives. The young man had become the backbone of the city, leading the people in the city to rebuild a new city. He traveled everywhere for the people. He was very grateful and bestowed Haotian Hongyun on him, asking him to think about "eternal peace in the world"!"

"Liang An, do you still remember what you said then?" Lin Ji looked at the half-collapsed Qingyang County Government Office where he had been going in and out for several years, feeling both happy and unhappy.

"I remember... remember..." Liang Datou replied tremblingly: "The Holy Emperor gave a message in the past... Those who hurt people and kill people will be killed! Those who are extravagant and want to be king will be imprisoned! The world belongs to the public, and the people are the most important! If you don't obey, you will..."

dang dang...

With every word Liang Datou recited, a tooth would fall out of his mouth, making a clinking sound!

But Liang Datou did not dare to hesitate, and continued to reply vaguely: "Ten thousand troops will attack them, and if they commit a crime, don't... don't blame them!"

By the end of the recitation, the tongue had withered, and the big, plump, white face had shriveled up as if it had gone through decades. The whole body was as skinny as a piece of dead wood, and when the wind blew, the coat swayed from side to side!

"Okay!" Lin Ji finally lowered his eyes and looked at Liang Datou, who was lying in front of him and was about to die, and said, "Good and evil, cause and effect will continue, this is the retribution you deserve!"

"You have never taken human life lightly, so I will not kill you!"

"But you are a king of extravagance and disorder, and I will not forgive you!"

"Today, I will imprison you forever in Qingyang to serve as a warning to the world!"

Swish!

As Lin Ji pointed, Liang Datou's strange body, which was as shriveled as a stick but had a huge head, floated into the air.

Whoosh...

The golden nanmu and red xiayu, who were tied up in the carriage and placed on the rolling logs, gathered together and formed their own group.

In the blink of an eye, a huge monument hanging hundreds of feet high rose up!

There are two lines of large characters engraved on the left and right sides:

Those who hurt people and kill people will be killed! The world belongs to all!

Extravagance is the king's prison! The people are the most important!

On top of the red stone tablet, Liang Datou was firmly embedded in it, his huge head was very eye-catching amidst his flying white hair, and above his head were four large golden characters "天下永安", shining brightly and pointing angrily towards the sky! (End of this chapter)
