Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

Miss Yun, who was standing on the top, noticed this. With the dim light of morning light, even she could see the talisman in the deep pit.

On those old talisman papers, the bright red talismans were constantly flashing.

Recalling the countless spells in her mind, Miss Yun opened her eyes instantly.

She put her two fingers together and seemed to draw a strange spell in the air, and all the talisman paper at the bottom of the deep pit began to burn.

As the talisman papers turned to ashes, the power that bound Zhao Manying also disappeared, and she stood in the deep space again.

Who would have thought that beneath the layers of bones, chains and talismans would be needed to seal something.

But the battle that Zhao Manying imagined did not come. As she continued to shovel the soil around her, the things buried under the pile of bones also appeared.

"Could there be human remains in here?"

Zhao Manying dug out the jar that was as thick as a man's arms. Considering her strength, it was not heavy, but the key point was that she was worried that she would break it.

It is so light that one would think the jar is not made of plastic.

"Don't worry, human remains are not worthy of being placed in here."

Miss Yun, who was standing above, reached out and pulled Zhao Manying, which made Zhao Manying a little surprised.

Due to the weight of the jar, Zhao Manying was able to jump out of the pit with almost no effort.

But at this moment she also had some tentative thoughts in mind. Zhao Manying also wanted to see what other tricks this mysterious Miss Yun had.

"Thank you."

Holding the hand that Miss Yun extended, before Zhao Manying could react, she had already been "taken" out of the pit.

Until the moment she landed, Zhao Manying still felt a little dazed.

It was as if she was lifted up by some force in the blink of an eye, and Miss Yun's pull on her was just a traction.

As the jar was unearthed, the faint light in the sky gradually spread around the two of them, and naturally fell on the jar.

All I heard was a hissing sound, as if water and fire were incompatible. The outer wall of the jar was illuminated by the sunlight and made a continuous piercing sound.

Layers of black gas emerged from the outer wall of the jar, and the purifying aura of Zhao Manying's own armor was activated.

"What the hell is in here?!"

Looking at the endless debuffs on the virtual interface, Zhao Manying couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Even when she faced the Demon King Beelzebub, she had never encountered such dense debuffs.

Blood loss, dizziness, poisoning, curse, infection...

They appeared but disappeared in an instant. Thanks to the powerful purification ability of the armor on his body, Zhao Manying could continue to hold the jar as if nothing had happened.

It was not until Miss Yun drew a talisman in the air again that the entire jar shook and the black air was "suppressed".

"These are the shadows we saw in the village. Let's hurry up, or it won't be effective if the sun rises soon. Master Ling still needs our help."

Miss Yun’s explanation did not reassure Zhao Manying. On the contrary, it made her even more wary of the jar in her arms.

In the village, the villagers who were tied up around were already talking about it.

The main reason was what Ye Qing had just said.

"There are large wheat fields outside, and everyone should know the annual harvest. Why can't we pay the land tax when it's time to hand it in?"

"I think during the famine, it was these two guys who came up with the inhumane solution, right?"

"Now everyone seems to be able to eat their fill, but why are they full? Don't you have any idea?"

Lei Teng and the teacher, who were lying on the ground, started shouting, mostly saying things like "witch" and "bewitching", telling the villagers behind them not to believe Ye Qing's words.

As for whether there are any villagers who still believe in them, of course there are, and they even look at Ye Qing as if he were an enemy.

Ye Qing didn't expect these three short sentences to have any effect, but it was enough to plant the seeds of doubt.

She looked around and saw that there were indeed many villagers who were hostile to her, but some seemed to have realized something and lowered their heads to think.

In fact, reaching this point was beyond Ye Qing's own expectations.

It all started with the information she learned from Lin Jue in the evening.

"Ms. Lin, there are some things I don't understand. Can I ask you for help?"

Lin Jue, who came out of the tent, saw Ye Qing being so sincere and quickly waved his hand to signal Ye Qing not to greet him. Then the two of them found a place to sit on the ground.

Although she "woken up" again more than ten years later, she was already quite familiar with the people's livelihood around her before that.

Especially in the village ruled by his father, as the daughter of the city lord, she knew much more than ordinary people.

Coupled with the "memories" that Ying Chu had input into her over the past decade, Lin Jue would not be disconnected from the world when she woke up.

"According to what you said, this village often failed to pay the land tax in the past, right?"

Ye Qing had a deep memory of this. Then he thought about the large wheat fields outside the village. It couldn't be said that all those wheat fields belonged to the city, right?

Although the surrounding area cannot be said to be barren mountains, it is still difficult to support the life of a village like this, not to mention paying the land tax.

If the map is correct, from the map we can see that the village itself is off the main road. With the transportation capabilities of the Eastern Continent in the game, the biggest connection between this village and the outside world is the port city.

In a sense, this village is almost isolated from the world.

"That's right, but this is also very strange. When we couldn't pay the land tax for the first time, my father sent people to guide the production. The wheat field outside is the best proof."

Lin Jue nodded. The people in the city had done their best to support this side. There were more than one village around. The wheat field outside was the best explanation.

As he said this, Lin Jue broke off a branch from the side and did some brief arithmetic on the ground.

It’s not that she needs to write it down to this extent, but Lin Jue hopes that Ye Qing can understand it as clearly as possible.

"...This already takes into account the harvest in bad years. In addition, the city has been making up for the insufficient land tax for the village every five years, and even providing some supplies. Logically speaking, the village should not be suffering from famine, and should even be able to expand in size."

After Lin Jue said this, anyone with a clear mind would realize what was going on.

But groundless speculation would only lead to bad results, and Ye Qing did not come to a conclusion immediately.

After all, in the worldview of the divine fantasy, let alone gods and demons, even terrifying creatures like Warcraft can destroy a city.

"From the current situation, there isn't any terrible external threat to this village, right?"

"No, let alone the current situation. Our family has been developing in this city for generations. We have already wiped out any powerful monsters around us, even when Ying Chu was in office."

With just a few words, all external factors that might interfere with the village were eliminated.

Considering the extreme living conditions of the villagers, she didn't believe that there was no traitor who killed Ye Qing.

"...Didn't your father come back to investigate?"

"No, because you know what happened later. Father had no time to take care of the surrounding affairs for a long time."

Lin Jue sighed softly, but to Ye Qing, this was simply the perfect time, place and people for the evildoers to do their evil.

The city lord, who had the greatest influence on the village, was being plotted against, the surrounding environment made it impossible to communicate, and the villagers had long been suffering from famine.

"But here comes the question. This village is only a small place. Why would the mastermind behind this use famine to control the villagers? You can't say that this little bit of power makes him obsessed with it, right?"

Although Miss Yun had mentioned the so-called "treasure", Ye Qing still wanted to confirm it again with Lin Jue.

If Lin Jue can also tell what legends there are, then it is probably confirmed that there is a treasure, and it doesn't matter even if she doesn't know about it.

Just as Ye Qing said, what happened in this village is totally illogical if we only speculate based on common sense.

She would not underestimate her enemies, even if they were just first-level bandits.

"It's hard to say. Aren't there many people in this world who are obsessed with power?"

Lin Jue chuckled and shook her head. She didn't want to delve deeper into this topic.

Back to the present, Ye Qing was looking at the two people lying on the ground, his eyes full of contempt.

It was these two people who "held hostage" the entire village, and relied on their survival instinct to play with the villagers at their will.

The heavy hammer in his hand is already placed in front of them, and next it will have several close contacts with their heads.

"Hmph, if you have the guts, just kill us all. If you don't have the guts..."

Lei Teng wanted to say a few more harsh words, but the teacher next to him had already sighed helplessly.

Seeing that Ye Qing ignored his shouting, Lei Teng looked at the teacher beside him cautiously.

"Stop shouting, he's a ruthless person who can really kill us all!"

Chapter 21: Poisonous Corpse

"Well, what should we do? The sun will come out soon, and we won't be able to use that thing then!"

After hearing this, Lei Teng immediately broke out in a sweat.

Although Ye Qing killed one person just now, he still thought that there were so many people present and it was impossible for Ye Qing to kill them all one by one.

Judging from their team, all of them are women and three of them are dressed as "military generals". No matter how you look at it, they look like a team escorting a young lady out for fun.

It was based on this judgment that made him make a decision that he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Is it any use for you to say this now? Even if we call that thing out, won't we all die then?"

The teacher shook his head repeatedly. He saw that Lei Teng was usually very calculating and shrewd, but today he was like a brainless idiot.

Of course, they witnessed Ye Qing and others taking action with their own eyes. The light of the Sword of Light illuminated the entire village in an instant, making it difficult not to notice it.

However, they did not expect that with Ye Qing's power, even the group of villagers they brought were not enough.

"What should we do? Are we going to die here?!"

Lei Teng became more and more excited as he spoke, to the point that he could hardly control his voice, and his lost voice startled Ye Qing who was standing in front of them.

The loyal hammer fell in front of them again. Ye Qing deliberately lowered his body and said to the two of them with a sneer.

"Okay, then you just wait here to die, and I'll send your whole family off with me later!"

Although that is what he said, Ye Qing is not a murderer, and all the means he uses are just to achieve the final goal.

She could tell at a glance that these two people were cowards, not to mention that their trump cards had not yet been revealed.

And now, Ye Qing wants to reveal their trump card.

"Sister Ye Qing, there's no point in talking to these tough guys. Just get rid of them and be done with it. Why waste time here?"

Zhao Xin circled in the air. She now had a clear view of the situation in the village and was able to grasp the movements in the village.

There was no one in the village moving around anymore. Even if there was, most of them would be hiding inside their houses in this situation. Naturally, they would not come out to fight against the few people.

It's funny to say that these villagers who thought they could control Ye Qing because of their numbers were now being controlled by Ye Qing.

"Since we are involved in this matter, we should do it thoroughly. After all, our actions will bring irreversible consequences. God knows what this village will become in the future."

Ye Qing sighed. At least the main culprit had been dealt with. The villagers in this village shouldn't have to suffer from "famine" anymore.

But no matter how much he thought about it, Ye Qing still had things to do.

At least we have to let these villagers get rid of the ideological control first, otherwise even if the village chief and the teacher die, the next batch will emerge.

"Eh...it doesn't matter what happens, Sister Ye Qing is the kind of person who cares more about the plot?"

Zhao Xin smiled. She didn't really care about these things.

Especially as a professional player, she would focus more on how to fight with others. As for equipment, she would get it if she could, and she would not care too much about the impact.

This is also the view of most players and even professional players. As for the plot, it may just be quickly skipped.

After all, after this, if there is no need to get into the deeper plot, then there is naturally no need to worry about these things.

Not to mention how the "NPC" is doing, which is not something most players need to worry about.

"Just barely..."

Ye Qing sighed softly and didn't say anything more about this matter.

While the two were talking, Zhao Manying and Miss Yun had already rushed back to the scene with the jar.

Noticing the jar sealed with talisman paper, the two people lying on the ground started shouting again.

Especially the teacher, who shouted particularly hard, as if he was afraid that others didn't know the jars that Zhao Manying and the others were holding.

Such an action naturally attracted the attention of Ye Qing and Zhao Xin, but they did not find anything unusual for a while.

Until the two of them came in front of Ye Qing, Ye Qing and Zhao Manying looked at each other tacitly, and they knew that the matter was settled without saying anything.

In this case, it's time to reveal the cards.
