Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 249 Non-staff personnel
Under the night.

The twenty-two-foot-long Huiyao Ling Banner fluttered in the cold wind.

The lost souls seemed to have found their home and all walked back to the Yaoling Banner.

After Mao Shan saw that all the dead souls had walked into the Huiyao Ling Banner, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Second sister, we need to rush to Qingshan Territory immediately."

"Brother, can this soul-calling flag summon ghosts?"

Mao Xiang stared at the Huiyaoling Banner with great curiosity, and said excitedly: "In the future, brother, you only need to stick the soul-summoning banner into the ground, and the dead souls will come to you by themselves?"

Mao Shan shook his head and said, "This time, the Yaoling Banner cannot capture ghosts. It can only temporarily hide ghosts, that is, to provide a temporary home for the dead souls."

"That's it."

Mao Xiang seemed a little disappointed and said, "I thought I could capture ghosts."

"This Huiyaoling Banner was made hastily by my brother. It can only hide ghosts temporarily, and it cannot hide for too long." Maoshan groaned for a moment and said, "If it is made of various treasures and spells, it must be very powerful and may be able to capture ghosts."

"So, the Huiyao Ling Banner can really exorcise ghosts?"

Mao Xiang suddenly became excited.

"maybe."

Mao Shan was not too sure, so he said, "A Xiang, we will set off for Qingshan Territory early tomorrow morning, so we need to rest early."

"Ok."

Mao Xiang nodded.

But she didn't rest immediately, but packed up her things.

The next morning, after packing their bags, the two burned down the village and headed to Qingshan Territory.

Maoshan holds the Huiyao Ling Banner in his hand and carries a peach wood sword and a bag on his back.

Mao Xiang followed behind Mao Shan, also carrying a small bag.

Tonggu Village was not far from Qingshan Territory, about two or three hundred miles away, and it was within the territory of Qingshan Territory in a few days.

"Brother, where are we going?"

After entering Qingshan Territory, Mao Xiang asked curiously, wondering what her brother was going to do.

"Go to Sishang City."

Maoshan hesitated for a moment and said.

Si Shang City is the northernmost city in Qingshan Territory and belonged to the State of Xu.

Soon they arrived at Sixang City and quickly found out where the City God Temple was. The existence of the City God Temple in Sixang City also made Maoshan feel relieved.

Qingshan Realm is the place where the Qingshan City God’s Mansion conferred gods.

Every city in the territory should have a City God Temple. Maoshan’s guess was correct.

However, they did not enter the city, but stayed in the City God Temple. When midnight arrived, Maoshan knelt in the main hall and told the Qingshan City God about his ambitions.

He requested the City God of Qingshan to grant him a Taoist priesthood, so that he could be listed in the underworld and command gods and ghosts to serve.

Only in this way can we better slay demons and evil spirits, save lives, and relieve those in distress.

"Mao Xiang, kneel down."

When Maoshan finished speaking, he said solemnly.

"Oh."

Mao Xiang knelt down without hesitation.

"I beg the City God to grant me the certificate to summon the gods and ghosts to perform my magic." Maoshan bowed and said.

And at this time.

Feng Qingyan regained consciousness in the City God's Mansion and vaguely sensed Maoshan's prayers, and became a little surprised.

What does this priesthood, named Deng Di Cao, mean?
Although there is no such thing in this world, he always feels somewhat familiar with it, as if there was some Taoist position or divine position in his previous life, and the Taoists in the world can be listed in the Heavenly Court or the Earthly Court.

You can summon the gods and queens of heaven or the ghosts of the underworld to come to the human world and slay demons and monsters.

At this time, Feng Qingyan was thinking and recalling seriously.

He also vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some non-staff members in the Youfang Palace in his previous life.

The so-called non-staff personnel are the people in the mortal world developed by Youfang Temple. Generally speaking, they are all Taoists who can provide Youfang Temple with various information or do things that Youfang Temple should not do...

"Ghost?"

After a moment, Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then he understood.

It seems that Maoshan has sent all the souls of the dead in the village to the Qingshan City God's Mansion.

This is a good thing.

At this moment, he seemed to think of something and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Perhaps through Maoshan, or by granting a Taoist priesthood, we can develop influence outside Qingshan, or even develop power outside Qingshan...

This was not a violation of the temple rules.

It is not appropriate to have a conflict with the Temple at the moment. After all, the Qingshan City God's Mansion is still in its infancy and everything is not on track yet.

Besides, the Qingshan City God Mansion is just a beginning. After building the Qingshan City God Mansion, he still needs to build the underworld of the previous life. This is the top priority, the most important and the most critical step.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then made a decision in his mind, but did not express it immediately.

"Where is the ghost who captures souls in Youfang Palace?"

A faint shadow appeared in Youfang Palace.

Upon hearing this, the soul-catching ghosts in the Youfang Palace all came out in panic to greet him, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Lord of the Mansion."

At this time, half of the soul-catching ghosts in Youfang Palace are at the level of ghost generals.

The remaining half are all ghost soldiers and ghost masters.

Tuyang did not give all the sixteen positions of soul-catching ghosts to the ghost generals. After all, Youfang Palace still had work to do, and the ghost generals could not be allowed to do the work of the ghost soldiers.

"In the City God Temple of Xuguo Sishang, there is a Taoist priest named Maoshan who has captured many dead souls and sent two soul-catching ghosts to capture them."

Feng Qingyan hesitated for a moment and said.

"promise."

The sixteen soul-catching ghosts looked at each other, and immediately sent two of them to quickly go to the City God Temple in Sixang City.

"A Taoist priest catching ghosts?"

After Feng Qingyan left, a ghost general-level soul-catching ghost soldier asked in surprise, "Isn't this just meddling in other people's business? If all the ghosts are captured by the Taoist priests, what are we going to do?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

The ghost general reminded.

At this time, two ghost-level soul-catching ghosts, wearing wandering robes and holding soul-catching chains, quickly headed to the Si Shang City God Temple.

Maoshan and Maoxiang were both kneeling in the main hall.

"Brother?"

Mao Xiang knelt for a long time, and her feet became numb. She couldn't help but ask, "Is this possible?"

"Don't talk."

Mao Shan whispered, feeling a little uneasy.

He didn't know if it would work, after all, granting a Taoist priesthood was no small matter. Moreover, did the Qingshan City God know who he was?

How can I easily grant it if I don’t know the details?

Besides, can the City God of Qingshan grant it?

There is no underworld in this world.

How could this very familiar Qingshan City God be the Qingshan City God in my dream?

Maoshan felt a little shaken.

I don’t know when.

"Who is Maoshan?"

A ghostly voice suddenly sounded in the City God Temple.

Maoshan and Maoxiang suddenly woke up, and then Maoshan said: "I am Maoshan, are you two the ghost soldiers of Qingshan City God's Mansion?"

"Hey, can you see us?"

One of the soul-catching ghosts was surprised, and then said: "We are here to capture souls under the order of the Lord of the Palace."

"Where are the dead souls?"

Another soul-catching ghost asked coldly.

At this time, Maoshan was delighted to hear this. Since the two ghost soldiers in front of him were ordered by the Lord of the Mansion to capture the soul, it meant that the City God had already known his request.

but……

Maoshan suddenly felt a little disappointed.

Could it be that the City God has no intention of granting him the Taoist priesthood?

This made him anxious and worried.

"Where are the dead?"

The soul-catching ghost frowned and shouted.

Mao Shan immediately came to his senses and said, "The dead souls are all in the Huiyao Ling Banner. I will release them now."

After Maoshan finished speaking, he immediately released the dead soul.

More than a hundred ghosts filed out, instantly making the City God Temple filled with ghosts, but in the blink of an eye, they were purified by the divine aura in the City God Temple.

Moreover, more than a hundred dead souls all knelt down in fear.
