Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

This is because the demonic energy is too intimidating. Unfortunately, Xiaoqian doesn't look like she can protect Rody.

"puff."

Xiaoqing looked at her panicked movements, glanced at Nie Xiaoqian who was quite courageous, and said with a smile.

"Your sister is really stupid. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he is protected by the destiny of heaven. How dare a little snake demon like me hurt him?"

Nie Xiaoqian finally reacted and looked ashamed. Her actions just now were all instinctive reactions. She was really stupid.

How could anyone possibly hurt the emperor?

"All right."

Luo Di saw Nie Xiaoqian's reaction and felt helpless.

This Xiaoqian doesn't seem to be very smart, and she doesn't look like she's pretending. One can only say that Nie Xiaoqian's vision has limited her.

At the same time, Luo Di urged Xiao Qing, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly, or I will punish you."

Upon hearing the punishment, Xiaoqing's naughty expression turned into shyness, and she lowered her head and dared not look at Rody.

No matter how clever she was, she didn't know as many tricks as Rody, who came from the modern era. So, facing Rody's various 'unreasonable' requests, she still couldn't face them calmly.

Nie Xiaoqian learned her lesson this time. She knew what this "punishment" meant. Oh, it was probably different from what she thought. She hid behind Roddy and waited quietly without saying a word.

"You have golden light of merit on your body. If you are willing to share some of it with this sister, you can allow her to transform from a ghost into a human. In the future, she will be similar to living people, and she won't have to worry about not being able to enter the palace." Xiao Qing didn't keep the secret any longer. She pinched her fingers and said with a smile.

If she didn't know Rody, she would never say such a thing.

After all, the golden light of merit is very precious. Even if Nie Xiaoqian is just an ordinary female ghost, a little bit of it can transform and resurrect her, but who would really be willing to waste that little bit of golden light on such a mortal woman.

But Rody was always generous to his own people and never stingy. Xiaoqing was attracted by Rody's magnanimity and open-minded character, and was impressed by his ruthless and iron-blooded suppression of the enemies, so she was willing to stay by his side.

Say so.

Nie Xiaoqian's expression showed joy at first, but then she became timid and didn't say anything, just waiting quietly.

She was worried that the young master would not agree.

But how could Roddy be stingy with a little bit of the golden light of merit? After all, he might be able to become the will of the world in the future. When he heard Xiaoqing's words, his eyes lit up.

"There is still this method, so you can give it a try."

After that, Roddy thought for a moment and said, "Since they are all going to be used, there are still a few jars of ashes left. Let's use them all so that these poor people can be reborn into good families and no longer suffer such hardships."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing's expression changed a little. Looking at Rody, who seemed to be showing a hint of compassion, her eyes became much gentler and she bowed deeply.

"The people of this world are lucky to have a monarch like you."

Nie Xiaoqian was also very moved. At this moment, she strengthened her belief and stayed with the young master, even if she missed the chance to be reborn.

And outside.

Upon hearing Luo Di's decision, Bai Suzhen, who was always kind-hearted, also nodded in approval.

As Luo Di pulled out a ray of golden light, it was distributed to several urns placed in the front hall of Lanruo Temple. The golden light was dazzling for a moment.

Then another ray of light split off and fell onto the statue originally enshrined in the temple.

The broken statue was quickly glued together again by the golden light, looking majestic and suppressing everything.

With this statue here, no evil spirits can cause trouble near Guobei County anymore!

Luo Di then ordered people to find the magistrate of Guobei County and asked him to organize people to worship the statue and rebuild Lanruo Temple.

In the future, this statue appeared several times and became more popular.

Lanruo Temple is also famous for the emperor's secret visit and the killing of a thousand-year-old tree demon. However, few people know that there is an unknown love story behind it.

The owners of the other urns all went to reincarnate, leaving only Nie Xiaoqian.

She changed into a white dress, and without the restraint of ashes, she looked no different from an ordinary person, with rosy cheeks and a warm body. Even though she had no heartbeat, it was not a problem.

Wait until Nie Xiaoqian met several sisters.

Luo Di and his group were ready to set off from Guobei County, which was located in the border area, back to the truly prosperous Jingzhao area.

On the eve of leaving Lanruo Temple.

"Your Majesty, there is a bearded man who wants to see you. He calls himself Yan Chixia, and he is a famous judge in the twenty-seven provinces. I dare not make a hasty decision, so I come to report to your Majesty."

"Oh? Yan Chixia?"

Rody had already changed into a black robe with golden dragon and auspicious cloud patterns on it. He looked very majestic and became interested after hearing what he said.

When he went to Lanruo Temple, he also met Yan Chixia who lived nearby.

I didn't expect that Yan Chixia would come to ask for a meeting just as I was leaving.

After thinking for a while, Roddy waved his hand and said, "Let him in."

"Yes."

Several soldiers retreated.

Not long after, a bearded man walked into the hall respectfully. When he saw Luo Di sitting in the first seat, his pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a look of surprise and as expected. Then he prostrated himself and said, "I am Yan Chixia, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to the emperor! May the emperor be in good health."

Yan Chixia was also considered a rare figure in the officialdom. He was able to become a famous judge in twenty-seven provinces and was highly respected. This showed his reputation. Even if he resigned from his official position, he still understood many rules.

"Zhen An, get up and talk. Brother Yan, it's been a few days since we last met. Do you still remember me?"

Chapter 390: Black Mountain Lord, the destiny of humanity!

Sometimes just one word from a superior can make people follow him wholeheartedly.

Especially in ancient times, there was a concept that a scholar would die for his friend.

Perhaps it was because of Rody's status as an emperor, or perhaps it was because of his efforts to rebuild the country, that Yan Chixia, who had become disillusioned with the officialdom, regained hope.

Hearing Rody's joking greeting, Yan Chixia slammed his knee, which had just been raised, heavily to the ground again.

"Your Majesty, how can I deserve this sentence? I am blind and failed to recognize Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive my sins."

"Eh."

Roddy looked at the originally arrogant and unruly Yan Chixia and waved his hand. He didn't want to see a knight who kowtowed to him, but he also knew that his greeting was indeed a bit unsettling.

Who can be the elder brother of the current emperor?

"Okay, Judge Yan, there's no need to be so polite. The reason why I'm here alone and incognito is to see how the people of this world live. You can just treat me as a scholar. At least this is Lanruo Temple, not the Forbidden City."

Hearing Luo Di's gentle words, Yan Chixia showed some gratitude in his eyes. Although he was famous in twenty-seven provinces, he was ultimately just a second-rate judge and had no chance to meet the emperor.

But after meeting him today, Yan Chixia was secretly moved by Luo Di's gentleness, humility, and humor. With such a wise ruler in the world, there is no need to worry about the prosperity of the Guo family.

In addition, Rody subdued demons and killed a thousand-year-old tree demon. No matter how harsh Yan Chixia's requirements were, this was definitely a good deed.

"Come here, give me a seat."

"My lord, thank you Lord for your kindness."

Since the emperor calls himself the judge, Yan Chixia can no longer call himself a commoner.

This is not a slap in the face of the emperor.

What? Are you the only one who is aloof? Are you going to quit your job? Are you fed up with the officialdom?

But Rody didn't care about these titles at all. What emperor? If he wanted, he could let everyone call him god or immortal instead.

"What does Judge Yan want to see me about?"

When the soldier brought a small chair and handed it to Yan Chixia, Yan Chixia sat on it hesitantly for a while. His reserved look made Rody sigh that the ancient people could not escape the constraints of the times.

Looking at the King of Thailand in modern times is like looking at an idiot.

But in ancient times, if the emperor could speak to you, it meant that his ancestors had given him great honor. No matter whether he was a good emperor or a bad emperor, ordinary people would not dare to comment on him.

Even Yan Chixia had to tremble with fear and be careful at all times when facing the emperor's honor.

This shows how great the power of imperial authority is.

"I dare not. I asked to see Your Majesty because I heard that Your Majesty suppressed the thousand-year-old tree monster and eliminated harm to the people. I came here to congratulate Your Majesty."

Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment and said that he himself did not know Luo Di's identity. He just saw a large number of soldiers rushing over and was curious about what happened in Lanruo Temple, so he decided to come over to find out.

Unexpectedly, I was recognized and sent here without knowing it.

"Oh? I thought Judge Yan was planning to end his reclusive life and return to serve the court." Rody narrowed his eyes and began to set a trap for Yan Chixia.

Yan Chixia was famous in twenty-seven provinces, so he was naturally a talent, and not just an ordinary one. If he had not resigned from his official position and had not been appreciated by the upper echelons, he would probably have been at the same level as Di Renjie.

If he could recruit Yan Chixia into his team, Rody wouldn't mind giving him a position like Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

It is more appropriate to let an old man who understands the grassroots, knows how to judge cases, is impartial and has been tempered at the grassroots level to manage the Empire's Ministry of Justice than to let those who have been in high positions for too long do it.

That's why he said this. If Yan Chixia knew what was going on, he would naturally continue to follow his words.

In this Lanruo Temple, a beautiful story of harmony between the monarch and his subjects will be created.

"Your Majesty..." Yan Chixia heard Rody's words of recruitment and understood that Rody was planning to re-employ him.

In fact, Yan Chixia didn't really want to resign from his post.

He resigned from his official position because, on the one hand, he could not stand the corruption in the officialdom at that time. On the other hand, his tough style offended many officials.

When his superiors and colleagues began to target and even frame him, Yan Chixia knew that he should protect himself wisely and leave quickly.

Otherwise, endless disasters will await him.

Therefore, Yan Chixia resolutely resigned from his post and left.

He was also disheartened and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Just as Yan Chixia expected, if he had not resigned from his official position in advance, he could still have left some good reputation.

Otherwise, his superiors would have already begun preparing how to deal with him.

Even during his seclusion, Yan Chixia did not forget to pay attention to the outside world.

Ambitious people like him naturally still have some hope for the imperial court, hoping to have a wise leader who can clear away the bad practices in the officialdom.

Since Rody came to power, he has been killing corrupt officials in large numbers.

He quickly swept away the officialdom, all kinds of extravagance, competition and corruption, which was deeply appreciated by Yan Chixia.

He had always hoped to meet the saint.
