This Liao Zhai is not right

It was a turbulent time, and no one knew when Heishan Jun's revenge would befall Guobei County. Su Su had roughly prepared what she needed to do, and was just waiting for Heishan Jun to run headfirst into the dragnet she had laid in Guobei County and the underworld.

"Miss, there is a female ghost who calls herself Chunyan and is here to see you on the orders of Lady Jinse from the underworld."

In the second half of the night, Su Su, who was half-closing his eyes and emptying his mind, heard Nie Xiaoqian shouting outside the yard.

Spring Swallow?

Su Su sat up from the couch, and was surprised that Chunyan came to visit on Jinse's orders. "We didn't talk much in the underworld, so it shouldn't have developed to the point where someone would come to visit just a few days later. Could it be that there are too many wronged souls sent to the lonely garden from the suburban charity cemetery, so they asked Chunyan to come and let me take it easy?"

When I walked out of the bedroom, I saw Chunyan, a beautiful maid in a green jacket and red skirt, standing in the main hall with an anxious look on her face.

When he saw Su Fu appear, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Lady City God."

"No need to be polite."

Seeing the expression on Chunyan's face, Su Su thought something had happened in the lonely garden, and asked repeatedly, "Miss Chunyan rushed from the underworld to the world of the living in the middle of the night, I wonder what happened?"

"After the ghosts who escaped from the Wrongful Death City entered the Gyugu Garden, word spread that the underworld was going to be turbulent and that the Lord of Black Mountain would soon send ghost soldiers to invade the city of Guobei in the world of the living. When my queen learned of this, she immediately sent a servant to report the news. In five days at most, or two or three days at least, the Lord of Black Mountain would definitely make a move."

Chunyan answered quickly.

Unexpectedly, the news that Heishan Jun was about to attack Guobei County for revenge had already spread in the underworld. No wonder all the evil spirits in Guobei County fled.

Didn't you think about keeping it confidential or something?

You are making it difficult for me to do this!

Chapter 108: The Temple of Hell Completed

Perhaps because the underworld was about to be turbulent again, Chunyan said that Heishan Jun would make some moves in five days at most, or two or three days at least, and then left in a hurry.

Su Su followed behind Chunyan and saw her off. He saw her taking away another group of wrongfully dead souls from the charity cemetery on the outskirts of the city, and then going down to the underworld through the Ghost Gate before turning around and returning to the City God Temple.

It was past five o'clock in the morning and the sky was about to brighten.

The ghost soldiers who went out of the city for patrol have returned one after another. According to Judge Wen, the word "calm" is not enough to describe the Guobei County tonight. In the absence of any evil spirits, this dead silence makes people feel uneasy.

Thinking back on the things that happened in Guobei County in the past few days since he returned from the underworld, he heard that the mandrill had sneaked into Lanruo Temple to spy on the situation, wiped out the ghost market hidden in the deep mountains south of Guobei County and got rid of the five wolf monsters sent by the Black Mountain King for revenge, and investigated the progress of the construction of the Yama Temple and met two Western monks... Today is the fifth day since Su Su returned to Guobei County.

Calculating the time, the time when Heishan Jun would launch his second revenge was indeed almost the same as Su Su had expected.

Before he launches his revenge, the Temple of Yama, which has been built overtime, will be completed today.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I don't believe you can create much of a wave."

As the sky brightened, Su Su walked out of the City God Temple and hurried to the construction site of the Yama Temple at the end of West Street in the city.

Bathed in the rising sun, the magical power of the Yang God traveled throughout the body and finally returned to the inner elixir. The continuously solidified Yang God became clearer and purer, and one foot stepped into the realm of refining emptiness. The Yin God gradually transformed into the Yang God. Su Su could clearly feel that the magical power in the inner elixir was growing stronger every moment, even faster than the magical power she absorbed from the incense and vows in the Jiangdu County City God Seal and transformed into her heart.

Even before he completely stepped into the realm of Yang God, he could feel his abilities growing day by day. Su Su estimated that after he completely transformed the Yin God into the Yang God, he might be able to go head-to-head with Heishan Jun, who had cultivated himself into a ghost immortal.

"Those who stop at the stage of Yang God, do not realize the great way, do not experience tribulations, and live long can be called earthly immortals. As for those who have a backer in the heavens, they only need to survive the heavenly tribulations and wait for the Yin God to completely transform into the Yang God. They do not need to cultivate to the stage of Yang God. Someone will naturally remove their death records and list them in the immortal class. In other words, after officially cultivating into a Yang God, they are fundamentally different from ordinary people."

Seeing ordinary people busying around in the streets at daybreak, Su Su suddenly realized something: "What the celestial beings seek is transcendence and freedom, so of course they don't care about worldly affairs. It's ridiculous that the gods and Buddhas in the sky clearly need the incense and prayer power of the world to maintain their Taoism, and they use the power transformed from the incense and prayer power to possess all kinds of supernatural powers, such as calling the wind and rain, moving mountains and filling the sea, but they pretend to be high and mighty. When they are in the mood, they show off their saintliness, and when they are not in the mood, they stay in the heavens and just take the incense and do nothing. Isn't it like being a whore and trying to build a memorial archway?"

From Su Su's point of view, the power of incense and vows is the foundation of the existence of the earthly gods. The people's offering of incense and vows is equivalent to paying wages, and it is of course understandable that the gods who receive the offerings use the divine power transformed from the incense and vows to fulfill their corresponding divine responsibilities.

As a functional department, they dared to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the needs of the people and act based on their own interest. They really deserve to be cut off from the orthodoxy.

If there were fewer insects in this world, how could the current chaotic world have come about?

Looking at the changing words on the cloth, Su Su had a bold idea in his mind, but he quickly dismissed it: "We have arrived at West Street, and we haven't even solved the threat of Black Mountain Lord. Don't think too much about these things."

She knows her own capabilities very well and will not rashly do anything without any certainty.

After all, having said so much, I am just a vixen, not the old emperor who was captured alive by the barbarians outside the Great Wall when he led the army to fight. I should do my job and keep Guobei County safe. Otherwise, I should learn from the White Lotus demon to raise an army and revolt, invade Shuntian Prefecture and satisfy my desire to be an emperor?

It's enough to have a demon monk who sneaked into the palace and disrupted the government. Su Su has no intention of causing chaos in the world.

She comes from a good family.

While he was thinking, two or three craftsmen who were building the Yama Temple came towards him. From their casual conversation, they said that the Yama Temple was about to be completed, and all that was left was to complete the beam-raising process at the chosen auspicious time, and then the project would be complete.

When Su Su heard this, he quickened his pace.

It didn't take long before she arrived at the Yama Temple at the end of West Street. The size and shape of the Yama Temple here were almost the same as the Land Temple in Baishui Village, with only slight differences in the decoration.

By this time, the temple had basically been completed. Although it was still early, there were quite a few people gathered around. Among them were craftsmen who were taking a rest on the spot after completing the work, and nearby residents who had come over to watch the busy beam-raising ceremony at the Yama Temple.

Su Su walked lightly past the crowd gathered outside the Yama Temple and entered the temple.

At this time, the temple was dim and dark. Neither the incense table for offerings, adding oil and burning incense, nor the prayer mats for people to worship and pray had been prepared yet. Only the clay statue of the King of Hell, with its eyes left blank as instructed by the King of Hell, was placed above the main hall.

Perhaps because the construction period was short, the clay statue of the King of Hell was not painted.

Su Su looked up at the statue of King Yama. The clay sculpture was hollow and without any magic. She took out the two pieces of dark green jade that King Yama had handed to her and flicked them with her fingers. The two pieces of dark green jade were embedded in the blank eyes of the clay statue of King Yama without any difference.

In an instant, the statue of the King of Hell, which had not yet been colored and was gray, suddenly changed. His face was as black as charcoal, he wore a crown on his head, with incense bags hanging on both sides of his ear protectors, he wore a long robe with a ruffled collar and wide sleeves, he wore boots on his feet, and his hands held a hu tablet in front of his chest.

Seeing this scene, Su Su immediately mobilized the magic power of the Yang God to infuse the magical statue of the King of Hell. With the blessing of the magic power of the Yang God that can refine the virtual and turn the real, the statue of the King of Hell seemed to come alive.

The dark green jade inlaid in the statue's eyes shone brightly, conveying a chilling and majestic gaze, just like what Su Su felt in the underworld.

But at this moment, this majestic gaze was no longer a dead object, but had some agility.

"Bao Yanluo?"

Su Su restrained his Yang God power and looked towards the statue of Yama, which was emitting a lively gaze.

A semi-transparent illusory figure walked out of the statue of Yama. Judging from his appearance, it was none other than Yama, whom Su Su had seen several times in the underworld. The scar that almost split the entire skull in half along the temple was still there, but in the extremely empty eye sockets there were now replacement eyes that were white on the outside and green on the inside.

"Today, I am able to see again, all thanks to you. It is my duty to wipe out the Black Mountain Lord. I will repay you for your kindness in the future!"

Before he finished speaking, the excess materials that had been piled up in the corner of the temple after the masons had finished making the statue of Yama all trembled together, and then on both sides of the statue of Yama in the main hall, they pinched out palm-sized statues of the Left and Right Judges, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Gods. They were lifelike and shocking.

In just a moment, the Yama Temple, which was previously just a rough draft, was completely completed.

Chapter 109 Menacing

"The King of Hell has appeared!"

The nearby residents who came over to watch the excitement saw a bright light coming from the Yama Temple. The Yama statue, which was originally just a clay sculpture, became lifelike. The statues of the Left and Right Judges, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced God, which the bricklayers had not made at all, appeared out of thin air from the excess scraps of materials.

Such a scene is tantamount to showing one's holiness before the people.

"The King of Hell has appeared!"

"The King of Hell really showed up!"

Outside the temple, people knelt down in a large crowd, kowtowed and bowed respectfully. When the auspicious time for raising the beam was chosen, the craftsmen who had left earlier came back. Seeing this scene, they were so shocked that they kowtowed three times and nine times outside the temple. Every brick and tile of this Temple of the King of Hell was made by them, so of course they knew that this scene was not a fake, but a real appearance of the King of Hell.

Thinking that this magical Temple of the King of Hell was actually built by them, all the craftsmen present were delighted and felt that they had stumbled upon such great fortune. If their reputation were to spread today, they would probably be overwhelmed with jobs building temples in the future.

Su Su stayed in the Yama Temple for a while and saw King Yama, who had regained his sight, return to his seat in the Yama statue. Divine light shone through the top of the head and hovered above the temple. The judges on both sides, the Black and White Impermanence, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Gods shouted in unison that King Yama had returned to his seat. He looked truly majestic and powerful, and was completely different from the Yama who was concurrently held by humans in the world of the living.

When the temple returned to peace, the solemn atmosphere of a court lingered in front of the hall, making people feel daunted and frightened.

"As the King of Hell who controls the underworld, he cannot stay in the world of the living for long. His divine body has indeed been badly injured."

After seeing the true intentions of King Yama, Su Su did not stay in the Yama Temple for long. He stepped lightly and left the increasingly bustling Yama Temple with the help of his magical powers.

Walking slowly on the road, I have not yet returned to the City God Temple.

The rising sun in the morning was obscured by dark clouds, the sky and the earth gradually became dark, a cold wind suddenly blew, and soon a light drizzle fell.

The weather change came without any warning. The sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, it was as if night had fallen, accompanied by a drizzle. It was extremely dark all around, and if it were not for the oil lamps lit in time by people in the streets and alleys, pedestrians on the road would have hardly been able to see anything.

He walked quickly back to the City God Temple. Before Su Su could speak, Lu Pan, who had stayed in the City God Temple obediently the whole night and dared not move at all, showed up.

"This rain is so strange, maybe someone is casting a spell to cause trouble."

Lu Pan stood under the eaves, looking up at the sky covered by dark clouds with a solemn expression.

"If we don't block out the sunlight during the day, how can the ghost soldiers under Lord Black Mountain attack Guobei County, which is located in the Yang world? It rained heavily in Guobei County for most of the day yesterday. If they use the same trick again today, it is most likely the work of Lord Black Mountain."

"Guobei County is surrounded by mountains and the roads are difficult. Before the formal invasion, they cast a spell to make it rain for several days, inducing mountain torrents to collapse the roads and block the connection between the three villages and one town in Guobei County. Then they mobilized ghost soldiers from the underworld through the ghost gate on the outskirts of the city and massacred the villages and towns one by one."

"By then, corpses will be everywhere, wronged souls will be rolling, and the incense of the gods will be cut off. Guobei County, with only 200 households, will have no choice but to be slaughtered. This Lord Heishan has obviously read some books and knows how to hit the enemy's vital points and kill them with one blow."

Su Fu said calmly.

Even the incarnation of the Ghost King that descended to the world of the living by Black Mountain Lord could not withstand the sunlight, let alone the ghost soldiers and generals under his command. It would be difficult to determine the outcome of the battle in a short time. He could not mobilize the ghost soldiers and generals to attack the world of the living at night and then call off the troops before dawn, lest they be exposed to the sunlight when retreating too late and be wiped out.

Therefore, it is particularly important to create an environment suitable for the combat of the ghost soldiers and generals under your command.

Su Su had witnessed how Black Mountain Lord caused black clouds to cover the sky and the sun outside Yangzhou city long ago. Considering that Black Mountain Lord's real body was the Black Mountain in the underworld and he had difficulty moving, unless he forcibly descended to the world of the living as a clone, it would be difficult for him to support the ghost soldiers and generals under his command who had invaded Guobei County.

With a little deduction, it is not difficult to see through the general arrangement of Heishan Jun's attack on Guobei County.

It is nothing more than defeating the three townships and one town of Guobei County one by one, so that the incense of the City God will be cut off and the divine power will gradually weaken. Then, the county seat of Guobei will be attacked. There is no need for Heishan Jun to do it himself. Just relying on his ghost soldiers and generals to perform the ghost sea tactics, he can exterminate the City God's Taoist lineage and turn Guobei County into a lifeless dead place.

Lu Pan was speechless for a while.

This kind of situation, where you just see the slightest clue of a conspiracy, but the other party immediately sees through who is behind it and even tells you exactly how he wants to implement the conspiracy, is something he has never experienced before, let alone heard of.

Are you sure you weren't watching when Heishan Jun was planning to invade Guobei County?

"Su Yanluo is a man of great foresight. I admire him."

Lu Pan was obviously stunned by Su Su's action. He dared not say a word for fear of being seen through.

"This is nothing. Lord Black Mountain has been making a big fuss in the underworld about his revenge, but his methods are the same over and over again."

Su Su took out the Yama Seal hanging from his waist and continued, "The Black Mountain Lord is coming with great force. I would like to trouble Lu Pan to lead 4,000 ghost soldiers to distribute them to the three townships and one town of Guobei County to support each other and prevent the Black Mountain Lord from mobilizing ghost soldiers from other ghost gates to attack. The area around Guobei County is only a few dozen miles. With the speed of the ghost soldiers who can travel faster with the help of the ghost wind, it is easy for them to pass on information."

"I will obey Yama's command."

Lu Pan accepted the order in a deep voice and bowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the Yama Seal in his hand dimmed a little. A cold wind blew beside Lu Pan, and the sound of ghost generals shouting and giving orders to mobilize ghost soldiers was heard.

"Xue, the patrol commander of the Five Cities, your job is to manage the ghosts and monsters of the living world. It is just right for you to lead two thousand ghost soldiers to patrol the territory of Guobei County and deal with the evil ghosts of the living world who have surrendered to Lord Black Mountain."

With a glance, the old-looking Five Cities Patrol Envoy Xue quickly appeared and knelt to receive orders.

He immediately distributed one-fifth of the 30,000 ghost soldiers in his hands, and the remaining 20,000 ghost soldiers were more than enough to block the ghost gate of the charity village on the outskirts of the city. Su Fu turned to look at the statue of the civil and military judge in the City God Temple and said, "Where is the civil and military judge?"

The appearance changed drastically, and the civil and military judges with a divine glow immediately appeared.

"You two will lead the City God Temple's ghost soldiers to garrison Guobei County. Also, find some foul things that can break the law, such as black dog blood and gold juice, and prepare them for the county yamen's third shift and sixth room's bailiffs. Even if there are evil spirits causing trouble, they will have some countermeasures."

The civil and military judges all accepted the order in unison.

After arranging all this in advance, Su Su returned to the small courtyard in the land temple, looking at the raindrops dripping from the eaves thoughtfully: "The arrangements for the Yang world have ended here. The real highlight is that King Yama will take advantage of the gap when the Black Mountain Lord's clone descends on the Yang world to attack the Black Mountain Lord's real body. This is a strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west."

"King Yama's body has been severely injured. He shouldn't be able to kill Lord Black Mountain in a short time, right?"

She realized that she only needed to completely transform her Yin Spirit into Yang Spirit in order to compete with Heishan Jun. She was actually a little worried that Heishan Jun would be beaten to death by the random punches of Yama Wang, who had his eyesight restored.

Chapter 110 Who is being hard on others?

"The Lord of Black Mountain is unable to exert his power in the Yang world. You, a vixen, don't really think that you can compete with him in the underworld with your cultivation level of a Yang God, right? The difference between immortals and mortals is like heaven and earth. You can't find the sun in the underworld to deal with his ghost immortal body."

Just as Su Su's thoughts began to swell, Chang'e, who was looking at him sideways, poured a bucket of cold water on them.

Heishan Jun, who has cultivated into a ghost immortal, has the home advantage in the underworld. He is filled with a chilling yin energy, and without the existence of something like the sun to restrain him, he is able to exert one hundred and twenty points of his strength.

Relying on the body of a ghost fairy that can accommodate thousands of Yin gods, even if he is attacked by King Yama and severely damaged by Black Mountain's main body in Su Su's plan, he still has the capital to make a comeback.

Of course she was very clear about this truth.

but......

Isn't it okay to think about such good things in your mind?

"I don't plan to confront Lord Heishan head-on. Can't I hide behind and cheer for King Yama?" Su Su retorted stubbornly.

This is my thoughts.

Her tone suddenly changed, and she walked to the bedroom window, looking at Chang'e who was still sewing her wedding dress, and said in a tender voice: "My dear sister, you promised me to help me deal with Heishan Jun. It's time to fulfill your promise!"

"Didn't I take action once outside Yangzhou City?" Chang'e said.

"At the inn, you clearly promised to help me deal with Black Mountain Lord, and you didn't specify a number of times. As long as Black Mountain Lord is not completely eradicated, this promise will remain valid."

It was rare to find a point that could grasp the other party, and Su Su's tone gradually became heavier. There was no need to express too much in words what he wanted to express.

Before leaving Guobei County for Yangzhou last time, Chang'e offered to help Su Su deal with Heishan Jun in exchange for Su Su accompanying her to Yangzhou.

When Chang'e was dealing with the Ghost King Statue's clone that was sent down to the world by Black Mountain Lord outside Yangzhou City, she unexpectedly pierced the Ghost King Statue's three-meter-long ghost head with a sword, causing it to suffer severe injuries, and creating an opportunity for Su Su to get rid of the Ghost King Statue's clone in one fell swoop.

In this sense, it can be considered that the promise has been fulfilled.
