Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 955 Blessed Land, Fifth Cycle

The market is located on the right side of the second floor.

Wu Xian, holding the search warrant, lifted the black curtain on the carriage, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After exiting from the right side of the first floor, Wu Xian settled the five elderly people and then led Lei Weiguo to the right side of the second floor to retrieve the key.

Wu Xian had noticed the unusual nature of the carriage long ago, and now he finally had the chance to uncover its secrets.

Inside the carriage sat an exquisitely crafted doll.

The puppet was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, wore cloth shoes with cloud patterns, and had a square scarf on its head. Its appearance was dignified, but upon closer inspection, one could find a faint evil aura lingering between its eyebrows and eyes.

"This... is Su Xianqing. I'm so glad to finally meet you."

Wu Xian thought Su Xianqing would be a difficult little boss, but he didn't expect that he, like the people of Xuanling County, would also be turned into a puppet by the imprisoned woman.

Inside the carriage were two wooden boxes.

Su Xianqing held a red wooden box in his arms. The box was the same style as the other boxes that contained treasures, so it was likely that a mysterious treasure was hidden inside.

Another wooden box was placed at the puppet's feet. Wu Xian found a small stick, pried open the box, and saw an ancient key inside—the very water dungeon key that Wu Xian had been searching for!

Wu Xian then extended the stick toward the red wooden box, but the moment the stick touched the box, an evil aura surged out, sending Wu Xian's stick flying and nearly hitting Lei Weiguo's eye behind him.

Lei Weiguo was startled and, holding up the Burning Dream Blade, said, "Should we burn him?"

Wu Xian shook his head: "Since we can't run into him, it means Su Xianqing is still being protected by something. We'll deal with the rest next time; he can't escape..."

"Let's go back."

The main hall of the county government office on the first floor.

Five elderly people sat on the ground, while eleven middle-aged and young newlyweds hung upside down from the ceiling.

The ground was covered in corpse oil, dozens of corpses hung around, and the pervasive evil aura sent chills down one's spine.

However, the atmosphere among the sixteen people was quite harmonious. They greedily enjoyed this rare period of safety, discussing various aspects of this blessed land.

After Wu Xian returned, he glanced at the time.

It was 3:30 a.m., and there was still an hour until 4:30 a.m. Wu Xian had nothing left to do in this blessed land.

After listening to the discussion for a while, Wu Xian walked to the center of the two ceremonial gates and took a case of beer from the right-hand corridor on the first floor.

"Yes, the temperature is just right, like it was just taken out of the refrigerator."

Many of these people don't drink alcohol, but in the current situation where their future is uncertain, being able to drink an ice-cold beer has a very special meaning.

Liu Nana looked on with envy: "But we're all hanging on the ceiling, so we can't drink from them."

Chen Chao, Shi Yan, and others nodded in agreement.

Wu Xian laughed: "Easy, I'll feed you."

"Be careful, don't spill it..." Qi Liang carefully reminded him.

"I'm really curious, can I really drink beer while hanging upside down?" Shi Yan asked curiously.

Wang Wei replied quickly, "If you can swallow saliva, you can drink it."

"Wow, it actually works!"

"Ahhh, it's poured into my nostrils!" Hao Zeluo yelled.

The atmosphere relaxed slightly under the influence of the beer, and the six elderly people sitting below, watching this scene, finally felt their heavy mood improve.

On the fourth visit to the blessed land, all the newlyweds survived before 4:30 a.m.

... *snap!*

Wu Xian landed on the ground with a dark expression; he was clearly in a bad mood.

But such a mood was not suitable for exploring the blessed land, so he adjusted himself slightly, and his eyes became more sentimental.

This blessed land is finally coming to an end.

In terms of time, this blessed land was much shorter than the previous blessed lands, totaling only twenty or thirty hours. However, within this short period of time, all sorts of things came one after another, leaving Wu Xian somewhat overwhelmed.

Then Wu Xian looked around and found that the main hall of the county government office on the first floor had undergone new changes compared to before.

Behind the altar directly in front, there is a dilapidated little temple.

The temple houses a black lacquered shrine, covered with a black cloth that obscures the exact appearance of the deity inside.

But Wu Xianguang felt as if he was being swallowed up from a distance. If he stared at it for two seconds, he would feel a chill run down his spine.

That must be the temple of the 'Calamity Demon God'.

Opposite the temple, in the center of the ceremonial gate, stands a statue of the 'Yearly Fortune and Misfortune God'. This statue is placed on a jade platform, one foot taller than the statue of the Calamity God, a height that seems to be meant to convey something.

"With the decisive battle approaching, the two chess players have finally come to watch the game."

"You two watch, I'll put on a great performance and deliver a few more punchlines."

Wu Xian made a couple of complaints and then continued doing what he was supposed to do. Anyway, neither gods nor demons would interfere with the game, so whether the statue was there or not had no impact on him.

Then Wu Xian picked up six yellow-headed slips and lowered six of the newlyweds from the ceiling.

The six newcomers are:

Bassist Liu Nana, runner Chen Chao, murderer Wang Wei, music teacher Shi Yan, museum curator Qi Liang, tour guide Luo Caixia.

These six people had all performed very well in the blessed land, so Wu Xian chose to have them join him in dealing with the final battle.

The remaining eleven newcomers continued to hang from the ceiling.

Of the eleven, security guard Yang Lin was actually in better physical condition, but he had been cowardly and collapsed when faced with death last time. It wasn't his fault, but it was enough for Wu Xian to remove him from the list.

After landing, the six quickly regained their composure.

Having reached this point in the blessed land, everyone had a basic understanding of its dangers, so Wu Xian didn't need to say much; everyone quickly adjusted their mindset.

The seven of them walked together toward the altar for worshipping the gods.

Wu Xian's eyes were full of anticipation, not only because this was the last time to worship the gods at this blessed land, but also because this was the second time the six newlyweds would worship the gods!
According to the rules of the blessed land, newlyweds can only perform a second worship ceremony after all the newlyweds have performed the first one.

Because of these rules, Wu Xiancai had to lead all the newcomers through the blessed land.

So when newlyweds worship the gods for the second time, there must be some differences compared to the first time.

Otherwise, why go through all this trouble?
Will each person receive an extra offering for this worship ceremony?
call!
As Wu Xian fantasized, he held incense and bowed.

Then, through the clouds and mist, I saw those seven old friends.

"So this second worship of the gods really is just a literal second worship of the gods..."

Various disrespectful thoughts flashed through Wu Xian's mind. Then, he took the Jiuranran character and distributed the remaining six worship items according to the previously agreed distribution method.

Just then, Wu Xian heard Liu Nana exclaim in surprise:
"Hey, there's a note tucked under my idol!"

"There's one under my idol too!"

A glint flashed in Wu Xian's eyes; there really was something new!
