Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 493: Zhenwu Exterminates Demons and Evil Spirits

"Xiao Cao, why are you here?"

Returning to the Zhenwu Hall, Ye Zhen walked around the sculpture and came to a small room, putting the shovel back.

"I'm here to invite you to join the headquarters."

"As you can see, the domestic situation has been completely overturned. Stability no longer exists. The captain and the ghost rider with the biggest fist will have the final say in the future."

Cao Yang said.

"I, Ye, will never become someone else's subordinate. After experiencing the falsehood of Baishui Town, nothing can shake my heart of Taoism now."

"I will fulfill my promise and wipe out all the evil spirits in this world."

Ye Zhen took out a stick of incense from the drawer and walked to a small altar to offer it.

Only then did Cao Yang notice that there was a memorial tablet in this small room, on which was engraved Feng Sisi's name and a photo of the girl.

"No one can control you, and you will not be anyone's subordinate. The captain's meeting can establish the absolute authority of all captains, even the law enforcement captain Yang Jian and I are no exception."

"If we want to restore order, the captains must work together. In the future supernatural world, the captain will be the stabilizing force of each area, suppressing all evil spirits and restless guys."

Hearing this, Ye Zhen seemed to be lost in thought. He remembered what he had said a long time ago:
“Hope, survival, and continuation, when everything is concentrated on a certain point under tremendous pressure, something will be born out of this era.”

“He can bring hope, sustain survival, and save lives.”

"Don't be silly, Ye Zhen. There are no gods in this world. There are only endless evil spirits. If you join the headquarters and have an official identity, coupled with your image of traveling around to sweep away evil spirits, in the mythology, everyone will respectfully call you the Great Emperor Zhenwu."

"I've already thought of a name for you."

"Zhenwu has eliminated all evil spirits, and there are no more ghosts in the world."

"how?"

Looking at Ye Zhen again, an expression of longing appeared on his face. It was obvious that Cao Yang's words benefited him a lot.

"That's interesting. I will attend the captain's meeting. Remember your promise, Xiao Cao. I, Ye, will never be anyone's subordinate. I will always be myself."

Ye Zhen said seriously.

"That's natural."

After convincing Ye Zhen, Cao Yang did not stay in Dahai City, but prepared to set off for the next city.

In Dahang City, the person in charge Lin Ye did not stay here all the time. He joined the team of mobile persons in charge headed by Ah Hong and traveled to many cities to deal with ghost problems.

Bai Heng, the person in charge of Zhongning City, had met Cao Yang once before, and he rejected Cao Yang's invitation, wanting to stay in Zhongning City.

Facts have proved that Bai Heng's ability is not bad. Even after experiencing the catastrophe of national war and ghost ship, the city still maintains stability. People's panic is inevitable, but Bai Heng directly reveals his identity and says that he will protect the city. This is the source of stability.

"Bai Zhilin said that Bai Heng is a fruit of the ghost tree, but he was given consciousness by a special spiritual power. To some extent, he is also a special alien."

Cao Yang's figure appeared on the rooftop of a building in Zhongning City. The city was obviously much quieter than usual. As a coastal port city, prosperity and bustle are the norm, but because of the supernatural events, few people dare to engage in outdoor activities frequently.

"Let's go to Baiyu Village and check. The old man Bai Zhilin should not be dead yet."

With a flash of his figure, Cao Yang came directly to a small town east of Dahang City, and soon arrived at the location of Baiyu Village. The boundary between the supernatural and reality seemed to be non-existent in Cao Yang's eyes. With every step he took, his figure became more blurred and unreal, and finally even disappeared directly into reality.

Baiyu Village was still the same as before. Two pale lanterns were hung in front of every house, with the word "甸" written in black on the lanterns, as if every household was attending a funeral.

"Bai Zhilin, come out and see me."

As Cao Yang finished his words, the twisted and strange old trees growing in Baiyu Village suddenly began to twitch, making dull sounds.

The twisted roots and soft but tough branches intertwined with each other gradually outlined the outline of a human figure, and the branches and leaves dotted around formed the facial features of the White Forest.

"Captain Cao, you are here."

Bai Zhilin did not put on airs because of his age. He was very clear about the value of the young man in front of him. Even the ghost trees instinctively wanted to stay away from him, which was enough to prove how terrifying Cao Yang was.

"You have been deeply eroded by the ghost tree. I don't think you will live long."

Cao Yang's eyes were indifferent. Apart from being able to speak normally, he couldn't see any other human-like features in Bai Zhilin.

"Captain Cao has good eyesight."

"Two months at most, twenty days at least, and then there will be a ghost with the wisdom of a living person in this world. Fortunately, this ghost will not bring disaster to the real world in a short time. The balance between the ghost prison and the ghost tree can still be maintained for a long time after my death."

There was no expression on Bai Zhilin's old face, neither sadness nor joy, and there was no change in his eyes.

"So you plan to let Bai Heng inherit all of this and repeat your mistakes and follow your old path?"

Cao Yang asked.

"No, Bai Heng is still young, and he has a lot of time to make a choice. I don't want him to inherit everything from me. Perhaps after I die, Baiyu Village will gradually disappear into history, and then when the next supernatural era comes, it will bring disaster to that world."

"The balance and confrontation between ghosts cannot last forever. The result will definitely be that one side forcibly controls the other, and then creates a more terrifying ghost."

Bai Zhilin sighed. He was a ghost prisoner, and imprisoning ghosts was also imprisoning himself. After decades of bondage, it was already quite difficult for him to maintain his humanity.

"You are given two choices. One is to move Baiyu Village to the Ghost Post Office. The administrator of the Ghost Post Office will suppress Baiyu Village after your death."

"Second, I threw the entire Baiyu Village into another mysterious place, so it can be considered to have disappeared from reality forever."

Cao Yang said.

"This……"

Bai Zhilin was in a dilemma for a moment, as neither of the two options was good.

"I'll give you three days to make your choice. If you can't make it to that time, I'll solve it in my own way."

Having said that, Cao Yang did not stay any longer. There were only two stops left in this tour: Da Nan City and Da Zheng City, which were the cities that Zhou Deng and Lin Bei were in charge of.

In Da Nan City, Zhou Deng, who was strolling on the street, has regained his former spirits. Fortunately, the priest's attack on consciousness was not a fatal curse, otherwise he would not be able to survive it.

"That person in front looks familiar..."

"Why does it look a bit like Captain Cao's back..."
