Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 409: Have you asked the Lord of the Mansion?

The hour of Xu is Wei.

Tuyang stood under the old banyan tree at the end of the village, frowning as he observed the fifty Yin gods.

From time to time, I looked up towards the north to see if the strange night would come again, but according to the Lord of the Mansion, the strange night would come again.

And the time of coming may be even longer...

An hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The first quarter of the hour of Hai.

The fifty Yin gods then came one after another under the old banyan tree at the end of the village.

"Greetings to the old man."

The Yin gods hurriedly saluted, but were soon attracted by the three stones under the old banyan tree. Some Yin gods could not help but recite the couplet engraved on the stones.

"The earth can give birth to all things, and the ground can bring forth a thousand blessings?"

What does it mean?
The Yin Gods were confused and began to think carefully.

However, more Yin gods focused their eyes on the stone in the middle. This stone was very ordinary, so ordinary that it could be seen everywhere.

It is no more than three feet high and is long and round in shape.

When the Yin God's gaze fell on the stone, it could no longer move away.

They felt a divine aura on the stone, as if it was the god of this place, which shocked them.

How can this be?

When did the second deity appear in Qingshan Territory?
They couldn't believe it.

However, the stone did give them such a feeling, as if there was already a god here. Moreover, they also felt a faint pressure that prevented them from completely integrating into this world, as if they had not received permission from this place.

When the old Yin God saw the stone, his eyes widened suddenly.

At this moment, he finally understood. No wonder the atmosphere of the village was a little different. So that's why...

At this time, several villagers were kneeling under the old banyan tree to worship and pray to the land god to bless their families and Qingshan Village...

Not disturbed by evil spirits.

In fact, when they were wandering in the village, many Yin gods vaguely heard the talk about the land god. At that time, most of them did not pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the villagers' imagination.

Is it really the land god?
Many Yin Gods were shocked.

According to the villagers, this land god seems to be sent by the Lord of the Mansion...

But they had never heard of the God of Land, and they didn't know what kind of god it was. Before, they had thought that it might be some evil god who didn't know whether to live or die, who dared to occupy the land and rule the Qingshan Territory.

This is definitely an act of seeking death.

In Qingshan.

Only one god is allowed to exist, and that is the City God of Qingshan.

At this time, Tuyang's eyes swept over the fifty Yin gods, and he said, "Hu Hu, what did you see and do in one hour?"

"My Lord, I was just walking around the village casually and didn't do anything."

A Yin God who looked to be in his thirties said with some embarrassment.

"What about you?"

Tuyang pointed at the second Yin Shendao.

"Return to the mansion, I am standing here without moving."

The Yin God said with some trepidation.

"What about you?"

Tuyang pointed at the third Yin God and asked.

"Reporting to the elder, I saw that many people died in the village due to the darkness yesterday."

The Yin God replied.

Tuyang nodded and continued asking.

At this time, all the Yin spirits told the truth about what they saw and did in one hour. Want to lie? They didn't know what the old man wanted to test them, and the old man had been standing at the end of the village and watching them. Did he think he was blind?

Soon after, it was the old Yin God's turn.

"My Lord, this village is called Qingshan Village. It is under the jurisdiction of Qingshan City. There are 81 households with a total of 412 people. Among them, there are 81 elderly people over 50 years old, two elderly people without children, and 101 children under the age of 12..."

The old Yin God said quietly.

An hour was enough time for him to get a clear picture of the situation in Qingshan Village. "In the village, there are three oxen, more than 100 acres of paddy fields, more than 200 acres of dry land, and more than 400 acres of mountain land. In addition to growing rice, the village also grows..."

"After careful investigation, my subordinates discovered that there was a bully in the village who had annexed many villagers' fields..."

"But last night, due to the coming of darkness, seventy-six people died in the village, including eleven elderly people and forty-two young and strong people..."

Tuyang nodded as he listened, seeming quite satisfied.

When the Yin gods heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.

Although they did not know the old man's intention, after hearing the words of the old Yin God, they seemed to understand the old man's intention all at once.

Perhaps this is why the elder asked them to come to Qingshan Village.

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Some Yin Shen felt extremely regretful, thinking that this must be the intention of the old man.

"Because the time was too short, I only got this information."

Finally, the old Yin God said with some shame.

Tuyang just nodded without saying anything, then pointed at the next Yin God and asked.

The Yin spirit hesitated for a moment, then said, "My Lord, according to my observation, there are indeed 81 households in Qingshan Village, and three of them have already... and seven children have become orphans last night..."

Tuyang nodded and let the next Yin God speak.

"My Lord, there are a total of seventy-eight households in Qingshan Village, and three hundred and thirty-three people..."

The Yin God spoke in detail, and it sounded similar to the old Yin God's answer.

Snapped--

Tuyang suddenly slapped the Yin God with his palm, sending him flying several feet away. He said with a sullen face, "Go back immediately."

"Mr. Fu?"

The Yin God rolled and crawled to his knees, his face full of panic, and said: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

At this time, all the Yin Gods were a little stunned and didn't know what was going on.

"Get back."

Tuyang said coldly, his face somewhat livid.

He didn't expect that there would be a ghost who dared to deceive him in person. Did he really think he didn't exist?
The evil spirit had to leave in panic.

Soon after, the fifty Yin Gods finished talking, and there were more than a dozen Yin Gods, which made Tuyang somewhat satisfied. Especially the Yin God surnamed Chen, although he was only at the level of a literary master, his realm was a bit low, but his ability was still pretty good...

At least the observation was very pleasing to him.

But at this time, Tuyang still didn't say anything, just waved his hand and asked them to go back.

The Yin Gods were confused again and returned to the City God's Mansion with doubts on their faces.

At this time, Tuyang did not return to the City God's Mansion, but stayed in Qingshan Village, waiting for the darkness to fall. Not long after, the chief commander and the prime minister of the City God's Mansion came to Qingshan Village with some doubts, wondering what the old man of the mansion meant by gathering fifty Yin gods.

When they arrived at Qingshan Village, they immediately discovered that Qingshan Village was different.

"What kind of god is this?"

The commander-in-chief squinted his eyes and looked at him.

"Earth God?"

The Grand Chancellor hesitated for a moment and said.

Although they didn't know which god it was, it must be the god under the Qingshan City God's Palace, otherwise it would be impossible to deify him here.

Have you asked the Lord of the Mansion before you dare to deify me here?

"Old Master."

Both Yin gods bowed.

"Don't ask any more questions. You will know in a while."

Tuyang Road.

When the two Yin Gods heard this, they had no choice but to shut up and stop asking questions. Even if they asked the old man, he would not say anything. However, at this time, they were curious about the stone statue under the old banyan tree...

Is this the Yin God newly appointed by the Lord of the Mansion?
