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

Chapter 51 Grandiose and Impartial, Yet Feeling the Same

When the demon general Pangolin spat out Wu Lao Er's ghost, Su Ji thought that the mountain demons were treacherous and cunning, and wanted to destroy Zhou Wu.

It wasn't until the Day-Wandering Spirit Weapon [Talisman] trembled slightly and a small sun appeared in the sky that Su Ji understood the ruthlessness of his opponent.

Clearly, the newcomer was a day-traveling spirit general.

It was just past dawn, and the daytime spirit generals of the City God Temple had probably only just left the county town. Therefore, the daytime spirit generals in the sky could only belong to the mountain god temple of the Baiyan Mountains.

Yan Tianchou immediately warned: "The spirit general who roams the mountain god temple must have been invited by mountain demons and ghosts. Please lower his stance to the minimum!"
"They sent Wu Lao Er's ghost here not to incite Zhou Wu's resentment, but to deliberately lure us into suppressing the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu, so that they can openly kill him like this!"

Even if the spirit generals of the mountain god temple are in league with demons and ghosts, they cannot directly intervene; they need a reason.

The fact that the Earth God Temple is now taking action against the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu sends a signal that a conflict has arisen between Zhou Wu and the Earth God Temple.

In this way, the day-roaming spirit general of the mountain god temple would have a reason to take action, as long as he could kill the vengeful ghost Zhou Wu in one fell swoop.

Even if it turns out later that the spirit of the mountain god temple killed the wrong person, there are many reasons to justify it. It could be that it was to help the local earth god temple, that it was the duty to kill a vengeful ghost, or that ignorance is no excuse...

"How abominable!"

After learning about Zhou Wu's experience, Su Ji was determined to help him. Now that the matter was about to be completed, how could he sit idly by and watch the spirit of the mountain god temple ruin things?
Even if the other party is a Day Wandering Spirit General who is one level higher than him.

"call out!"

After the day-wandering spirit of the mountain god temple finished giving his high-sounding excuse, a ball of blazing fire shot down from his body, which resembled a small sun.

Back then, Su Ji was able to kill the old ghost with the power of the day-traveling spirit weapon [Talisman], which shows that the power of the [Talisman] cannot be regarded as ordinary.

Yan Tianchou immediately made a calculation: "The Sun Wanderer's supernatural power is comparable to a high-grade entry-level spell. In addition, since yang-attribute supernatural powers are effective against ghosts, there is a 70% chance that it will severely injure Zhou Wu, and a 30% chance that it will kill Zhou Wu on the spot..."

While it's true that the Spirit General's [Talisman] is comparable to the Ghost General's, the [Talisman] contains a deeper power, making its supernatural abilities stronger.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Ji immediately abandoned the idea of ​​using the Taiyin Heavenly Light and then pointed a finger.

"【Deflecting Mysterious Mirror】!"

This time, although Su Ji did not have the same premeditation as when dealing with the walking corpses, he was still able to cast his mystical arts instantly.

Furthermore, with the suppressive power of the door gods and spirit soldiers already fully formed, this [Deflecting Mysterious Mirror] became even more silent and undetectable.

"boom!"

Under the blazing sun-attribute divine power, the towering phantom of the divine gate suddenly exploded, as if it had no power to stop it at all.

However, just as the mountain god temple's day-wandering spirit was about to smile, the shattered phantom of the divine gate seemed to have a "special effect," causing the divine power to go astray.

The blazing flame grazed past Zhou Wu, not only creating a circular gap at an angle in the black mist, but also sending up a plume of steam after landing on the wet ground.

"How could this be?" This was the first time the day-wandering spirit general of the mountain god temple had encountered such a situation, and he had no idea that someone had secretly used mystical arts.

As a result, the Yang Fire Divine Power did not seriously injure the vengeful ghost. When it passed through the black mist, it seemed to have only burned a minor wound on the ghost's body.

The spirit general of the mountain god temple, unable to understand the situation, could only attribute it to the tall divine gate affecting the direction of his supernatural powers.

And so, the day-roaming spirit of the mountain god temple regained his dignified appearance and spoke again: "Gentlemen of the Earth God Temple, please do not be anxious, I am here!"

At this moment, the mountain god temple's wandering spirit general appeared to be a public-spirited person. He spread his arms and transformed into the shape of a firebird.

"【Yang Fire Flying Feathers】!"

As the firebird swooped down, fiery feathers shot down from its wings, burning even the raindrops in its path into white mist.

"Oh no!" This time, Su Ji panicked.

Although Su Ji's esoteric technique [Deflection Mirror] can be used again, it can only affect an area with a diameter of one foot. It can be said to be extremely effective against single-target spells and supernatural powers.

However, whether the wandering spirit of the mountain god temple noticed it or it was just a coincidence, this area-of-effect divine power inadvertently countered the [Deflection Mirror].

Su Ji had no choice but to leap out and point at Zhou Wu again.

"Boom boom boom!"

The towering phantom of the divine gate was completely shattered, and Su Ji only managed to block a Yang Fire Feather with the help of the Day Wandering Spirit Weapon [Talisman].

As a result, the spirit soldiers could only watch helplessly as the remaining Yang Fire Feathers pierced through Zhou Wu's Rain Water Body.

The rain could dissipate 30% of the spirit soldiers' attack power, but to the divine power of the day-roaming spirit general of the mountain god temple, it was nothing more than a soft water ball.

In an instant, more than a dozen holes appeared in Zhou Wu's soul body, and bursts of Yang fire spread outwards from the wounds. Even though the broken Rain Water Body tried its best to resist, wisps of green smoke still rose up.

Seeing that Zhou Wu's rain-water body was about to dissipate, if it was not stopped, most of his soul would probably be burned to nothingness by the yang fire...

Not only the numerous spiritual weapons, but even the villagers nearby saw the flash of light. Although they didn't know why, they were greatly shocked.

Someone spotted the pangolin in a flash and exclaimed in alarm, "Could it be that the monster's actions have angered the gods, and these flames are heading towards that pangolin?"

Immediately, many people looked at Master Zhu Nanshan. Previously, they had only heard of these divine manifestations in stories, but after Master Zhu invited the Thunder God to bring down lightning, the villagers became much more accepting of it.

The crow spirit, however, knew the whole story and, trembling with fear, hid on Master Zhu's shoulder: "Is this the power of the Day-Wandering Spirit General's [Talisman]?"

Clearly, even if this wandering spirit of the mountain god temple wasn't the mastermind, it was someone who mobilized the snake demon and the pig demon to summon it.

The crow felt a pang of anguish. It finally understood that it wasn't the generous reward from the day-traveling spirit soldier that was true, but rather that this slightly inferior quality spirit coin was very likely its life-saving money...

"The Mountain God Temple's Day-Touring Spirit General!"

Su Ji had already flown to Zhou Wu's side, using his body to block Zhou Wu from the Mountain God Temple's Day-roaming Spirit General. He did not stand idly by while Zhou Wu's soul was burned by the Yang Fire, and used the Day-roaming Spirit Weapon [Talisman] to drive away the Yang Fire on Zhou Wu's body.

Just then, the spirit soldiers of the Well God and the spirit soldiers of the Stove God displayed their supernatural powers, extinguishing and withdrawing the yang fire on Zhou Wu's body, which had some effect.

Immediately, the golden toad, a magical artifact in Su Ji's hand, opened its mouth and swallowed the nearly burned remains of Zhou Wu's ghost spirit.

The Mountain God Temple's Day-Roaming Spirit General, already harboring ulterior motives, had no reason to attack the Day-Roaming Spirit Soldier Golden Toad, who was also a divine being. Seeing that even if the vengeful ghost survived, it would at most be a remnant soul, he said with a serious expression:

"Day-roaming spirit soldier, I saw that this place was filled with demonic energy, so I rushed over to check the situation."

"Seeing the local earth god temple locked in a fierce battle with the evil spirits, I, acting in accordance with my divine duty, lent a hand. Together we have vanquished the evil, so there is no need for you to thank me!"

When the Mountain God Temple's Day-Tour Spirit General uttered such shameless words, not only Su Ji, but also the other spirit soldiers were furious.

It's obvious that the spirit of the mountain god temple was deliberately there to cause trouble.

The other party should have nothing to do with Zhou Wu's madness, however, this move not only disgusted the people of the Earth God Temple, but also weakened the Earth God Temple in a roundabout way.

It should be noted that if Zhou Wu were to sever his resentment and obsession, he would have the opportunity to become a normal ghost cultivator. Even without the fierce ghost aura, he would still be a ghost general with considerable strength.

Even if Ghost General Zhou Wu continues to protect the clam spirit, he will maintain a good relationship with the local earth god temple. If the mountain demons retaliate again, Ghost General Zhou Wu will be an excellent helper.

This was learned by insiders. The mountain demons and ghosts probably already regarded the evil spirit Zhou Wu as a backup plan for the local earth god temple. Using the power of the day-roaming spirit general of the mountain god temple to eliminate the evil spirit Zhou Wu would be tantamount to cutting off an arm of the earth god temple!
Other spirit soldiers might have some reservations, but the spirit soldiers from Zhongliu who came from Jinfeng County with the local earth god were simply furious.

Zhongliu Shenlingbing, though usually appearing as a scholar, also possesses a passionate heart:

"Although Zhou Wu is a vengeful ghost, he has never harmed a single living being within the jurisdiction of the local earth god temple. Our actions were merely to prevent him from being driven by resentment and obsession."

"Moreover, Zhou Wu is involved in the case of the previous Earth God official colluding with humans and ghosts to do evil deeds. He is one of the most important witnesses, and there is absolutely no room for error!"
"The daytime spirit general of the Mountain God Temple failed to control the demons and ghosts of the White Rock Mountains, and instead came to my Earth God Temple to carry out such a ruthless attack. Could it be related to the case of the previous Earth God official colluding with the Black Tiger demon?"

Zhou Wu was, after all, a member of Dongsang Village. As the master of the Yin-Yang realm of the mansion, Zhongliu Shenlingbing naturally regarded Zhou Wu as one of his own.

There are many stories of officials who dared to speak frankly and remonstrate, and many who died for their cause were praised by the people. Zhongliu Shenlingbing greatly admired those people.

Currently, the Earth God has not yet emerged from seclusion, and the Earth God's spirit soldiers are stationed at the Earth God Temple with spirit officials [talismans]. Su Ji is investigating the situation of Zhou Wu inside the spirit artifact Golden Toad...

Zhongliu Shenlingbing became the first person to directly confront the daytime spirit general of the mountain god temple.

“You—” The spirit of the Mountain God Temple’s daytime tour suddenly darkened his expression.

The way the divine soldiers spoke was so blunt, it had a somewhat insubordinate feel to it.

However, this vengeful ghost is not only an ally of the local earth god temple in dealing with the snake demon, but is also involved in the widely publicized ghost case from a while ago.

The spirit general of the mountain god temple cursed inwardly a few times, then said with a hint of anger but not daring to speak out, "So that's how it is. I thought the earth god temple was subduing a vengeful ghost, which is why I stepped forward. It turns out it was all a misunderstanding!"

Ignorance is no excuse, and it's about dealing with vengeful ghosts... This is why the daytime spirit generals of the mountain god temple were willing to take action.

The divine soldiers in the middle showed no respect for the daytime spirit general of the mountain god temple, staring intently at him and saying, "This matter absolutely cannot be left like this!"
"Such a coincidence makes me highly suspicious that the attack by the snake demon and the pig demon is related to you, the daytime wandering spirit general. If the City God Temple of Jinfeng County cannot handle this, we will report it to the local government!"

The highest-ranking official in the Baiyan Mountain Range Mountain God Temple and the Jinfeng County City God Temple is only the Spirit Lord, while the Yuzhou State God Temple has a God Official in charge. Not to mention the Day-roaming Spirit General of the Mountain God Temple, even the Mountain Lord of the Baiyan Mountain Range has to bow down.

Upon hearing this, the spirit soldiers were immediately invigorated, and the crow spirit, who had been trembling with fear just moments before, was secretly delighted.

The daytime spirit of the mountain god temple was too arrogant. Not only did it show up uninvited, but it also treated everyone present like fools. Even a crow spirit like it could see that.

However, when the crow spirit's gaze fell upon the pool of black water billowing smoke, its mood darkened considerably.

"Zhou Wu, who had suffered immense pain, had not yet witnessed the perpetrators being punished by law when he was caught in the crossfire of the conflict between the mountain god temple and the earth god temple. Even if he manages to survive, he will probably only be a remnant soul now..."

The soul is a collection of memories. If the main body of the soul is injured, it will either lose its memories or become a mindless remnant soul...

The crow spirit is a kind-hearted demon, but she suffered a lot before meeting Zhu Nanshan, and now she empathizes with Zhou Wu's experiences.

"Phew—" Su Ji's mood was also quite heavy.

If he hadn't been valued by the local earth god and become a day-roaming spirit soldier, even if he hadn't become a pawn like a snake demon or a pig demon, he might have been killed indiscriminately by beings like the day-roaming spirit generals of the mountain god temple.

Fortunately, after becoming a Day Wanderer Spirit Soldier, he encountered many opportunities, which not only gave him a certain amount of confidence but also enabled him to step forward and help others.

Just like Zhou Wu, who everyone thought was at most a remnant soul, he finally stabilized his injuries through his efforts.

There was a misunderstanding earlier: Day Wanderer and Night Wanderer are not spirit officials, but spirit generals who are more skilled in killing.
