I am a living immortal.

Chapter 564 Take a look and you will know

Wei Ming took great pains to maintain this order.

Maintaining it is already a struggle, so who cares about more? Take this case, for example. If so many people hadn't died, and their deaths were so similar, no one would have reported it. The kinder ones buried them, while the less kind ones simply dumped them into the Chengde River.

The existence of warlocks is necessary.

Whether they are from outside or local, they can save the Demon Slaying Division a lot of effort.

The Demon Slaying Division has too many things to do: one part is to solve the strange events in the outer city and the inner city, one part is to protect Wei Ming, and the rest is to supervise those sorcerers to prevent them from doing evil. There is another aspect, which is Chengde River - the Demon Slaying Division has to perform several rituals almost every day to purify the souls of the wronged who died and rebirth.

Unfortunately, this is a long and arduous task.

The Chengde River washes away filth, but it can't wash away many of the souls of the unjustly dead. Trapped in the river, they create strange phenomena like whirlpools of corpses and the souls of the unjustly dead coming ashore.

This is actually to blame on the world.

The concentration of the omnipotent spiritual energy was increasing, making the world strange: the land became more fertile, the forests became denser and more mysterious, and even in the rivers and lakes, there were more giant fish several meters long and giant snakes dozens of meters long.

This is the case with the Chengde River. Dead bodies act like nutrients, giving rise to enormous creatures. This is also the reason for the increasing strength of the waves. Some of these behemoths, fed by excessive negative emotions, become extreme and stir up waves; others, more restrained, add fuel to the turbulence, aiding the ships passing through. This is why some ships crossing the Chengde River have their fortunes, while others suffer misfortunes.

Everything is traceable.

The world is changing, and not just for humanity. This subtle, silent blessing benefits all living things, from the mighty rivers and mountains to the smallest blades of grass and trees. Of course, even equal blessing isn't always a good thing; it can also have side effects.

For example, humans with seven emotions and six desires often resist reincarnation because of their obsession and stay in the human world; and the spirits of plants and trees are too easily affected by the external environment, like a piece of white paper, which is black if painted black and white if painted white.

Many sensitive people often sigh that the world today is somewhat different from the world yesterday, which has also given rise to many great poets.

In general, it is a mixed bag of good and bad, and difficult to define. All we can do is adapt - adapt to this world.

Su Mu and Wei Ming enjoyed a lively conversation. Sometimes friends are like that, they don't need to be together every day, but they can still have a good chat. They've known each other for decades, and it's time for them to reminisce about the past over the dinner table.

After three rounds of drinks, I found that the service in this restaurant was very attentive. They even gave us honey water to help with hangovers and hawthorn soft cakes to help with digestion, which tasted pretty good.

Next, we just have to wait for the Demon Slaying Division to thoroughly investigate the case.

The Demon Slayers were incredibly efficient. After receiving Su Mu's reminder, they immediately set their sights on the statue. It wasn't impossible for a spirit to be born from the dead through prayers, but it was more likely someone was playing dirty.

Several people arrived at the Temple of the Hundred Gods exhausted.

Many water gods are enshrined here, and because the blessing ceremony was not long ago, the incense is still lingering in this temple. In order to accommodate the water gods of all sizes, it was built at great expense.

The Demon Slayer Division only took a quick look at it at first.

Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the Temple of the Hundred Gods has already changed its appearance, becoming majestic and grand with mahogany and green tiles.

The arrival of the Demon Slayers alarmed the temple keeper. This keeper was an old man with a long beard. To have been elected by hundreds of surrounding towns, he must have some considerable skill. He was a sorcerer himself, renowned in the art world.

Although he didn't know why the Demon Slayers had come, he knew it was bound to be trouble. In Yujiang Pass, a place where good and bad people mixed together, it was easy to survive in peace, but there were also many who took unconventional paths. Some of those with a good reputation had committed some sins, and the Demon Slayers turned a blind eye to them. This didn't mean their prestige was low.

Quite the opposite.

It was precisely because the Demon Slayer Division turned a blind eye that when they really came knocking on the door, it meant that the situation had become extremely serious.

The temple keeper thought he hadn't done anything recently and had been living peacefully, so why did the people from the Demon Slayer Department come to his door? He was puzzled, but still went out to greet them.

The temple keeper in a light blue robe saw the familiar cold iron ghost mask as soon as he went out, and couldn't help but envy the wealth of the Yan Dynasty - being able to use scarce materials such as iron to forge useless decorations, how can this not be considered wealth?

In comparison, Lin State is much more stingy.

These sorcerers were not well-received and had as little to do as the fortune tellers at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. This was disillusionment for many ambitious people.

It's ridiculous that after all these years of serving the emperor, the most impressive thing they have is a beauty pill...

Telling this to others, not only the Yan Kingdom, but even the common people would laugh their heads off. When the late emperor had come through so much hardship to gain entry, he had a lofty ambition: to create an organization similar to the Demon Slayer Bureau, to control all the wonders and anomalies in the world. It was with this intention that the sorcerers were desperate to gain entry.

Those who are selected are all ambitious and capable.

However, despite good intentions, reality proved a joke. The ambitious emperor soon passed away, his death mysterious and his ascension swift. Those who had once been so popular seemed to be forgotten.

I can't leave it and there's nothing to do.

The current emperor was preoccupied with pleasure, completely oblivious to his ambitions. The sorcerers had long wanted to leave, but the imperial power had held them back. It wasn't until the emperor, now desperate and unable to save himself, that they were finally released.

He followed the ship to Yan Dynasty and now he is considered to be prosperous. However, when he faced the people of the Demon Slaying Division, he still felt inferior.

"My lords, what brings you here?" The old sorcerer came forward with a smile.

The people from the Demon Slaying Division were not surprised to see the old man in front of them.

"As a temple keeper, do you know that the statue is causing trouble?" The people from the Demon Slaying Department were not polite either. They said that there was no such thing as not hitting someone who smiled at them, and they immediately held him accountable.

The temple keeper's smile froze in place. His mind raced, and he began to recall the many statues in the Hundred Gods Temple. A few of them were possessed by spirits, but they wouldn't cause trouble, right? He watched over them daily, and knew the few with spirits like the back of his hand, but he hadn't noticed anything unusual. So, he chuckled, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"

The demon slayer stared at the temple keeper in front of him, and when he saw that he didn't seem to be lying, he said, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, we'll know after we go in and take a look."
