Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 48 The Vengeful Vanguard, Abandoned Child in the Mountains (It's the beginning of the month, please vote!)
"Instead of killing people, you go to save them?"

The vengeful ghost Zhou Wu's only desire was revenge, but the young deity holding the golden toad in front of him was doing the opposite, which truly surprised the clam spirit.

After a moment's thought, the clam spirit suddenly realized something.

Killing can bring revenge, but it will inevitably ignite resentment and may even lead to one being consumed by hatred.

The most dangerous thing is that the more people a vengeful ghost kills, the heavier her sins become. Some beings who didn't help her before might now fight each other for the sake of merit.

Saving people means following the "kingly path" of the young deity before you, entrusting all your trust to the public good, provided that you believe in the person before you and in the rules.

"Save them! We will go and save them according to the command of the gods!"

The young deity's words and actions were perfectly normal, and he was able to make the entire divine system function, so the rules could certainly be trusted. Since the clam spirit had already entered the game to save Zhou Wu's life, they might as well go all out according to this idea.

Suddenly, smoke rose from the clam spirit's seven-colored robes and quickly entered Zhou Wu's body in the dream.

"My striker... my defender, follow in my footsteps and sweep away all obstacles in our path!"

Although the name Zhou Wu is inconspicuous, it is somewhat sensitive to the villages of Dongsang and Xisang. The clam spirits often only refer to his position without mentioning his name, and the positions of forward and defender are entirely at the discretion of the clam spirits.

Moreover, unlike other people who force walking corpses and vengeful ghosts to do things by using chains and other objects, the clam spirit always persuades the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu through communication.

To prevent the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu from harming innocent people, the clam spirit will also construct a "real-time" illusion in Zhou Wu's mind, where the enemy's location is clearly marked, while other innocent people are not displayed.

Previously, when the vengeful spirit Zhou Wu's resentment and obsession erupted, the clam spirit was unable to maintain a channel of communication with him. Now that Zhou Wu has been forced to "calm down," it has provided the clam spirit with the conditions to cast a spell.

"My vanguard, a horde of demons and serpents are besieging your homeland! Follow my directions and engage them in battle!"

The vengeful ghost has more than one obsession; revenge is one obsession, and protecting family and home is another.

...It was because of that piece of land that Zhou Wu was resented and harmed by the Wu family. After the previous landowner was investigated and punished, the local land temple naturally deserved the title of "home".

Immediately, the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu had a clear goal and strode towards the Earth God Temple.

Seeing this, Su Ji did not follow, but instead instructed the Bed God and Bed Goddess: "You two go and help the clam spirit maintain the dream. If the dream shows any signs of collapse, immediately send one of you here to report to me!"

Ultimately, the freezing of Zhou Wu's soul was only temporary. As time went on and the battle continued, there was a possibility that his resentment would erupt again, so Su Ji naturally had to guard against this.

"Yes!" the bed couple replied in unison, their eyes filled with even more surprise.

Previously, this vengeful ghost was an enemy they were about to suppress, but now it has become an ally. Although it was due to the clam spirit, we still have to praise the strategy of the day-roaming spirit soldier, the golden toad.

For a time, the Earth God Temple was protected by eight spirit soldiers, including the Earth God, the Central God, and the Kitchen God. With the help of the Bed God and Bed Goddess and the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu, guided by the Clam Spirit, the situation was stabilized.

Taking advantage of the dim sunlight, the Night Wanderer Zhang was keeping a close watch on the direction of the White Rock Mountains, in case there was any further movement from the White Rock Mountains.

As for Su Ji, the day-traveling spirit soldier, he immediately returned to the Zhang family courtyard.

In the rain, the dampness and earthiness became the main theme, which naturally had some impact on Su Ji, who was cultivating the "Minor Yin-Yang Method". Even his celestial soul and spirit had a damp and earthy smell when he entered the eaves.

"Window permissions -"

The magical artifact, the Golden Toad, possesses too many spiritual runes; even with proficiency, it still takes nearly a hundred breaths to master.

Fortunately, what Su Ji wanted to send into the dream was not the magical toad, but the hair tie in its mouth.

Although Zhang Xiaolian had worn this hair tie since childhood, it did not carry as much "obsession" as the figurative golden toad, and was considered a mid-grade, ordinary quality spiritual artifact.

However, when it comes to magical artifacts, one should not only consider their quality, but also their function.

In terms of offensive techniques, even a top-grade spiritual material like the Dream Spirit Jade cannot compare to a flawless low-grade copper coin spiritual artifact...

Although this hair tie has few spiritual patterns, it can still bear the light of the Taiyin Heaven, making it a rare and precious spiritual artifact.

Now, as the hair tie transforms into spiritual patterns and intangible energy, a hair tie quickly appears in the real dream world.

Not long ago, when Su Ji took away the figurative golden toad, Zhang Xiaolian learned about some of Su Ji's plans and had been waiting in the courtyard of the real dream.

Now that the hair tie has appeared, Zhang Xiaolian knows that the Golden Toad has used up a beam of Yin Light, and the situation outside must be very intense.

Fortunately, since the ancient golden toad was able to return and retrieve another ray of Yin Heavenly Light, it proved that the situation was still under control, so there was not much to worry about.

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiaolian immediately began to act according to the plan.

"Taiyin Tianguang, go!"

Not to mention that the rain has obscured the sky and earth, the moon is also about to set at this hour.

In the dream, even without actively activating the Yin energy within the dream moon, Zhang Xiaolian's refined Yin Heavenly Light was enough for more than ten uses.

"call out--"

Su Ji only waited a few breaths before the hair tie containing the light of the moon flew out of the dream window, and the magical toad opened its mouth and put it in its mouth.

The two did not meet or speak, but they had a tacit understanding in their hearts. Without hesitation, Su Ji flew into the rain again.

"Everything is ready. I want to see what other tricks those mountain demons have up their sleeves!" Even so, Su Ji did not rush to the local temple immediately, but instead stayed at Zhou Lan's house as agreed.

For convenience, many families built their houses in the part of Dongsang Village near the river.

The wealthy don't care about these things; they value feng shui more and often build their houses on higher ground. The land that originally belonged to Zhou Wu and is now the ancestral hall of the Wu family is an example of a place with excellent terrain.

The Zhou family's house was about ten zhang away from the Zhang family's courtyard, about twenty zhang away from the Golden Toad's clone, and about thirty zhang away from the Earth God Temple, which perfectly matched Su Ji's plan to "wait and see what happens".

At the same time, Yan Tianchou quickly deduced: "The White Rock Mountains went to great lengths to destroy the temple and the statue of the local deity, so it must be more than just the snake demon's forces."

"There's a nearly 70% chance that another demon with a physical body will attack the local temple; there's a nearly 30% chance that the mountain demons will send out a force no weaker than the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu..."

The previous predictions made by Yan Tianchou were wrong because he had too little information. Now that the situation is becoming clearer, he has a better grasp of the situation.

"If it really only consists of snake monsters and demons, then it would truly be a case of starting strong but ending weakly..."

This matter began with the slaying of the Black Tiger Demon. If it really only ended with these demons and strange snakes, then the actions of the mountain demons would be considered a joke.

Sure enough, a short while later, Zhang, a spirit soldier wandering at night, brought news: "A group of pig demons has been discovered in the direction of the White Rock Mountains. However, they do not seem to have the same frenzied will as the snake demons. Their scattered formation makes it seem as if they are being driven by something..."

It can be said that the snake demon is like a well-trained suicide squad, disciplined yet possessing a fearless and crazy spirit.

The pig demons, however, resembled a defeated mob, their formation disorganized, and many even had bloody wounds visible on their bodies.

"A pig demon?"

Su Ji hadn't expected that the mountain demons and ghosts seemed to have miscalculated as well.

Even the image of the mountain demons and monsters in his mind was shattered. They were not observing the situation calmly, but they simply failed to control the group of pig demons.

Although Yan Tianchou couldn't guarantee that every calculation would be correct, he still offered his advice with all his might:
"The White Rock Mountains are governed by the Mountain God Temple, which controls the Yin and Yang realms, but not all living beings obey the Mountain God Temple's commands..."

"Although the pig demon was forced to come, it certainly doesn't want to die at the hands of humans. Perhaps we can conspire with it!"

Ultimately, the divine ranks are just too appealing, and most monsters are essentially just ordinary people.

Just like the clam spirit, she was not a member of the Seven Mile Lake Water God's command, but a rogue demon, who secretly raised Zhou Wu, a fierce ghost, for protection.

In the secular world, there are those who conform and those who are "troublemakers".

Clearly, these pig demons were the "troublemakers" among the mountain monsters, and perhaps it was precisely because of their disobedience that they were used as casualties in the battle between the two sides...

"it is good!"

Su Ji adopted Yan Tianchou's suggestion and also had a good idea.

However, since he couldn't openly discuss what he wanted to do, he had to rely on others.

"It will take some time for the pig demons to reach Dongsang Village... Please ask the Night Wanderer to fetch the crow spirit from Master Zhu's side!"

There are some things that Su Ji and Zhang Shi, these two wandering spirit soldiers, can't do, so they can be handed over to Zhu Nanshan and the crow spirit, these two idle cultivators.

"Caw!" The crow spirit became excited upon receiving the news.

Not long ago, it received a slightly lower-quality spiritual artifact copper coin for notifying the local earth god temple of the snake demon's attack.

Now that the wandering spirit soldier has something to ask of it, even without any reward, it will do its best to run around for it.

Soon, the crow spirit arrived at Zhou Lan's house despite the spring rain, and said with great respect, "Please give your orders, Day Wandering Spirit Soldier!"

Su Ji didn't speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the crow spirit who was completely naked and nodded, saying, "Although cultivators are not afraid of water vapor, their speed is still affected. I will now bestow upon you another spirit artifact copper coin!"

The magical artifact, which was supposedly given to the crow spirit, was actually used to motivate Zhu Nanshan to work harder to encourage Chen Dianshi and his group to deal with the snake demon.

Now, this magical copper coin is truly a gift to the crow spirit.

"Another mid-grade, slightly lower quality, spiritual artifact copper coin!"

The crow spirit was extremely excited. After all, it could only be considered a commoner in the Yin-Yang realm, and it had never even seen such a treasure more than a few times.

"The wandering spirit soldiers can speak freely; I will do my utmost to fulfill their wishes!"

What others consider incredibly rare and precious magical copper coins are merely one of the failed attempts by Su Ji to fuse magical artifacts.

However, after giving away so many, Su Ji only had two slightly lower-grade spirit weapon copper coins left, so he had to be more frugal.

...Let the pig demons go and knock down the Wu family ancestral hall!
The crow spirit heard Su Ji's secret telepathic message and its eyes widened in surprise.

Fortunately, the crow spirit had been with Zhu Nanshan for so long and knew what was important, so it didn't say much and just continued to listen to the contents of the plan.

...Breaking down the Wu family ancestral hall not only allowed the pig demons to deal with the mountain demons and ghosts, but also punished the Wu family for their evil deeds. It was indeed a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone!
The crow spirit had initially thought they were up to something shady, but now it realized that the wandering spirit soldiers were clearly acting as chivalrous heroes, punishing evil and upholding justice!

I was in such a rush to write that I forgot to wish all my friends who still have a childlike heart a happy Children's Day.

It's the beginning of the month, so I'd like to ask for some monthly votes!
