Chapter 324: Human World Disaster

~8 min read 1,500 words

The sun rose in the east, and a new day arrived, but many people in various parts of the Great Xia were unable to see today's sun.

Last night, due to the frequent appearance of Guiyi in various places, many remote villages, towns, or cities experienced Gui-disasters.

Having lost the existence of the Gui-Suppression Division, some Gui-disasters were not serious at the beginning, but as the Guiyi killed more and more living people, they also grew rapidly and became increasingly terrifying.

"My Lord, these are the Guiyi events reported from various places last night. In Jiangzhou alone, there were more than thirty incidents. Fortunately, our people responded in time and did not cause any major disaster!"

"However, other places are different. Due to the severe shortage of personnel in the eastern states, large areas are now deserted, and no one noticed when the Guiyi appeared."

"In addition, a large number of Guiyi have also appeared in the southwestern states. King Mu hopes that we can send some troops to assist in the suppression."

"..."

Li Yanbing, who had basically not slept last night in Mingyuan City, couldn't help but rub her head while listening to the report from her subordinate, Li He.

No one expected that this Guiyi event would break out so rapidly among the states.

Even though the Monkey King had issued an order yesterday to build Monkey King Temples in various places to protect the local area, the time was still too short!

Even if they used the mechanical puppets of the Luban Hall to quickly build Monkey King Temples, a temple still needed to be managed by people, and it also needed to be announced to the people of all sides.

But now, after only one night, a large number of Gui-disasters had already appeared. If it continued, no one could say what it would eventually become.

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, Guiyi running rampant, I don't know when this troubled world will end..."

Forcing herself to cheer up, Li Yanbing began to say to Li He: "Arrange for two thousand heavy-armored Zhiren to go to the southwestern states to suppress the Gui-disasters, and complete the construction of the Monkey King Temples in various places as soon as possible. The warning from that senior previously must have a deeper meaning. The situation ahead is likely to be even worse, and we must be prepared as early as possible!"

"Yes, subordinate obeys the order!"

Li He immediately agreed, and then turned around to carry out these tasks.

In Mingzhou in the east, the streets of Mingzhou City, which was originally relatively peaceful, were now empty and appeared extremely desolate. The consequences of the Xiangzhu sacrificing eight states were truly too severe. In the next hundred years, the eight eastern states would probably be difficult to recover to their previous population.

Sitting in the carriage, Princess Qingyuan looked at the paper money scattered everywhere on the streets outside and the white cloth hanging in front of the doors through the carriage window, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Although this disaster was mainly caused by the Xiang Temple, King Li also became one of the pushers of this disaster because his thinking was influenced by power.

Although she used the precious opportunity to have the Monkey King take action once to exchange for King Li's life, it did not mean that all the troubles were solved.

Yesterday, the Monkey King suddenly ordered her, clearly telling her that the disaster in the eight eastern states had a major relationship with King Li, and they must make amends next!

As for the way of making amends, it was for her to return to this land, build Monkey King Temples, suppress Gui-disasters in various places, and manage the people's livelihood.

It sounded like a bitter job, and it was indeed so. However, this order had another meaning, which was that from now on, she was working for that Saint.

As long as there was such a backer, they still had a chance to make a comeback without facing special targeting from other forces.

For a family that tried to compete for the world and failed, this was already the best ending.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter."

As the carriage returned to the King Li Mansion, Princess Qingyuan got off the carriage, and the young girl who had been following her hurriedly ran over.

"Princess, you are back!"

"Hmm, how is it? Has the teacher returned?"

"Father has already returned!"

"Good, I will go to see the teacher now."

"..."

After a simple exchange, the two immediately came to a quiet courtyard in the mansion. At this time, Mr. Gao, a Zhiren who looked like a teacher, was standing with his hands behind his back in the courtyard.

"Qingyuan pays respects to the teacher!"

"Hmm, how are the arrangements for the matters outside the city?"

Hearing the movement behind him, Mr. Gao slowly turned around. Deep exhaustion could be seen on his face. Now that King Li had lost power, coupled with the frequent occurrence of various Gui-disasters, as the only Zhiren in the mansion, the pressure on him was not small.

"Porridge sheds have been set up at the four city gates, and the city guards have been replaced by the heavy-armored Zhiren I brought back. The situation is basically stabilized."

"However, the disasters in the entire Mingzhou and other parts of the eight eastern states cannot be solved by the power in my hands now. Please teach me, teacher!"

Princess Qingyuan said while bowing deeply to the other party. This Mr. Gao was a Zhiren, and the fact that he was willing to stay and help her now was a respectable thing in itself.

"The old man also has no good way. You must know that the crux of this problem is not the Gui-disaster, but the hearts of the people. Now we have lost the hearts of the people!"

Mr. Gao shook his head and then said to Princess Qingyuan seriously. Originally, how much expectation and trust the people had for King Li, now they hated and resisted how much.

"Yes, Qingyuan understands. Before Qingyuan left Qianyuan Mountain, that senior also warned that the hearts of the people are easy to change, and things in the world are numerous, so one should act according to circumstances."

How could she not understand such a situation? It was precisely because they had lost the hearts of the people that the current situation was so difficult to handle.

Otherwise, as long as an order was given, various places would spontaneously build Monkey King Temples, and any Guiyi events could be reported for help at the first time.

Instead of being like now, even if the Monkey King Temple was built, no one would come to worship. Having suffered a loss once and been deceived once, the people were afraid of becoming like before.

This was the key to the problem. If this trouble was not solved, wanting to manage the eight eastern states well was absolutely a pipe dream.

"Sigh, although this matter is difficult, it is man-made. For the current plan, it is still to find a way to deal with the Gui-disasters in various places and try to stabilize the situation first..."

The two talked in detail for a long time, and then Princess Qingyuan became busy again.

In the small courtyard of the Gravedigger, Lin Feng returned after completing the statue. At this time, he was also concerned about the situation in various parts of the human world.

Overall, the situation was really not good. Guiyi broke out in various places, and it was impossible to deal with it with the existing mechanisms alone.

Although those major sects and families also took action one after another, the Gui-disasters were not solved as a result. On the contrary, it was more like pressing the gourd to float the ladle, and they were simply not taking care of the head and the tail.

"The layout of those people many years ago is by no means so simple to solve. If the problems in the Yinjian are not solved, the situation in the human world will only become more serious!"

According to the report of the Tou Gui, these Guiyi were clearly entering the human world through cracks deliberately left by someone. If these cracks were not blocked, there would definitely be more and more Guiyi!

But wanting to find and block all these cracks distributed in various places was simply unrealistic. Who knew what barren mountains, wild ridges, or mountains, rivers, and lakes these cracks were in?

And even if they spent huge energy to block all these cracks, who could guarantee that the mastermind behind the scenes had no other paths to let Guiyi pour into the human world?

In short, Lin Feng would absolutely not do this kind of thing of being led by the nose by others. The key to everything still fell on the Yinjian. ===== CHAPTER 325 =====
