Chapter 37

............ Points of spiritual light flew out from the devout men and women kowtowing to the City God and drifted toward the inconspicuous small courtyard next door, eventually dissipating into nothingness.

Rows of golden characters suddenly appeared on the spirit bead at Su Yuanshan's cuff.

【Wish Power +1】

He could sense that the divine power within his body seemed to have improved again.

Moreover, a wind had actually started blowing around them, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing all the smoke produced by the burning incense and candles over here, making the fat old man surnamed Pan frown uncontrollably. He looked up at the sky and said a sentence.

"It really is strange, it's autumn and yet there's a southeast wind, blowing all the smoke and dust from the temple over here."

They didn't know that in the Huangliang County City God Mansion, it had triggered an even greater shock. Many underworld officials and ghost servants stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, looking toward the direction of the small courtyard.

Because the points of spiritual light rising from the crowd gathered into a band and were actually drifting toward the small courtyard.

And these spiritual lights originally belonged to this Chenghuang Temple.

"What happened? What are you all looking at outside?"

A thunderous voice made the ears of those ghost servants buzz. Looking back, they saw a fierce man with a beard, wearing a black gauze hat with pointed wings, a bright red official robe, a three-foot demon-slaying sword at his waist, holding a scroll in his left hand and a brush in his right, walking with long strides.

The large jade belt at his waist swayed back and forth.

An underworld official pointed to the sky and said.

"Judge, please look. For some reason, the wish power and incense of our Chenghuang Temple have drifted outside. Could it be that some human saint is stealing our incense and wish power? This is really too much."

The person who came was the County City God's Military Judge. He opened his leopard eyes wide, looked up at the sky for a while, and snorted unhappily.

"I want to go and see who is so bold as to dare to steal the incense of our Huangliang County Chenghuang Temple."

As he spoke, he shook his body, transformed into a gust of underworld wind, and headed straight for the direction of the small courtyard.

That gust of underworld wind kept swirling and finally landed at the back door of the small courtyard. Seeing no one around, it transformed into a rugged man, ragged, with messy hair, holding a broken bowl like a beggar.

He walked to the door and cupped his hands toward the door god image on the peach wood charm hanging on the door.

"Two Divine Envoys, greetings. Zhai has official business, I hope you will make it convenient."

Soon, rays of light appeared on the peach wood charm, seemingly the door god responding to him, but the light lasted for a very short time.

"Thank you, Divine Envoys!"

The Military Judge cupped his hands and stepped over the threshold to enter.

However, before he could get close to the small courtyard where Su Yuanshan and the others were, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The Military Judge didn't answer directly, but instead started singing loudly while tapping his bowl.

"A carefree immortal for a day,

Six gods harmonize to report peace.

There is treasure in the dantian, do not seek the Dao,

No mind when facing the environment, do not ask about Zen."

Su Yuanshan's heart stirred upon hearing this, but he remained calm and made no reaction, because he vaguely felt that something was testing him; otherwise, he wouldn't have recited this poem, because this poem had an extraordinary origin, and ordinary people wouldn't notice it at all, unless...

"Who is being crazy and noisy there? What are you guys doing? Men, why don't you drive that madman out!"

The Military Judge's painstaking operation seemed to have been in vain, making the fat old man surnamed Pan very angry, and he directly ordered him to be driven out.

Holding back a belly of fire, the Military Judge returned to the City God Mansion. An underworld official asked cautiously upon seeing this.

"I see Judge Zhai's expression doesn't seem very good? Did something happen?"

The Military Judge sighed and said.

"Don't mention it. I went to investigate the drifting incense, but I got a cold shoulder."

The underworld official looked surprised.

"Which mortal is so bold?"

The Military Judge said stifledly.

"Who else could it be? It's that inconspicuous fat man and a few other guys. If it weren't for the fact that they have the light of the Wenqu Star protecting them, I would have already arrested their souls for interrogation."

The underworld official seemed thoughtful.

"Protected by the light of the Wenqu Star? So they are all government officials?"

The Military Judge nodded.

"Does that even need to be said? However, that young man is an exception, but... I can't see through his depth, so I didn't dare to act rashly. He gives me the feeling... that he seems to be a cultivator from the human world!"

…………

Although the fat old man surnamed Pan and the thin old man surnamed Ji were fighting fiercely on the chessboard, Su Yuanshan couldn't raise any interest at all. He was just about to find an excuse to leave when his brows suddenly frowned slightly.

There is demonic Qi!

And it seems to be in the direction of the Huangliang County Yamen.

Although it was only a very slight trace, rising into the sky, it was still captured by him.

He secretly gave a wink to the little white fox. The little white fox immediately understood and ran out.

Being conferred as a subordinate god has this advantage: it can sense the master's intentions in its heart without needing deliberate instructions.

Moreover, by attaching his divine sense to the little white fox, Su Yuanshan could "see" everything the little white fox could see.

This was like one of his clones, because his current identity was the Huangliang County City God, so within the territory of Huangliang County, if he wished, everything could be attached by him to become his "clone."

As for the little white fox, as soon as it went out, it turned into an unmanned alley and transformed into a black cat.

This was one of the supernatural powers it gained after becoming a subordinate god of the City God... the art of transformation, but the images it could transform into were few and far between.

It passed through the alley, climbed up the wall along the trees, then jumped onto the roof, and quickly ran toward the Yamen. But in Su Yuanshan's mind, a different scene appeared.

The streets, pedestrians, alleys, walls, and roofs quickly retreated backward, the field of vision "moving forward"! Finally, it climbed over the wall of the Yamen, jumped onto an elm tree by the wall, dug its small claws into the bark, gradually climbed down, and then jumped lightly to land steadily.

Human conversation and footsteps came from afar, and the "field of vision" quickly hid in the grass.

These scenes were as if Su Yuanshan had experienced them personally; in fact, he had only obtained the field of vision by attaching his divine sense to the little white fox.

The two yamen runners who came over were wearing blue robes, with yellow leather waist knives hanging on the left side of their waists and a bunch of keys hanging on the right. As they walked, the keys made a slight "clatter" sound.

In their conversation, they seemed to be joking about women, vaguely mentioning something like "the woman locked in the room has a really good figure."

This aroused the little white fox's curiosity.

So it secretly followed behind these two yamen runners.

These two yamen runners didn't notice at all, passed through the corridor, bypassed the rockery, came to the backyard, opened a secret door, and walked in.

Taking advantage of the moment he closed the door, the little white fox suddenly darted in.

One of the yamen runners rubbed his eyes in confusion and asked his companion.

"Niu Zi, did you see something come in?"

His companion said impatiently. "What could come in here? Are your eyes playing tricks on you?"
