Wanbao Lady

Chapter 60 Meeting the City God

After telling the two ghost messengers the general cause of the incident, the God of Land asked, "In a situation like this, how will the underworld sentence you?"

The two ghost messengers bowed in the direction of Meng County and said, "This matter will be decided by the Lord of the City God. But you can't escape the punishment."

After all, he appeared in front of people and caused panic.

As for the severity of the punishment, it depends on how the higher authorities decide.

"By the way, the City God also asked us to tell Mr. Xu to tell the expert on Yudu Mountain that the City God wants to see him!"

Just after they finished speaking, they saw the God of Land subconsciously looking in one direction.

The two ghost messengers followed the God of Land's gaze and saw a pretty woman standing there quietly.

Are you a guest of the God of Land?

Strange, why can't I tell the footsteps and cultivation level?

The two ghosts were secretly surprised.

But the God of Land laughed and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? The real owner is right here."

Hmm? This woman is actually the legendary Wanbao Lady?

During this period of time, they had also heard of the name of Niangniang Wanbao, and they only knew that she was a master of Taoism.

I didn't expect it to be right here.

The two ghost messengers looked at each other, clasped their fists and saluted towards Chongfan, saying, "Greetings, Madam."

Chongfan nodded slightly, a golden light flashed across her body, and she returned to her original appearance.

Cool and elegant, with an ethereal temperament.

The two ghost messengers immediately became more respectful.

"It's better to do it now than to wait for a better day. Since the City God has invited me, I will go with you tonight."

Firstly, after all, he had played a role in the incident with the ghost woman, so perhaps he could plead for leniency to avoid her being punished too much.

Secondly, she wanted to get in touch with the City God. It would be more convenient for her to consult for information or anything else in the future.

There is nothing wrong with two Yincha.

After bidding farewell to the God of Land, Chongfan and a group of newly dead souls went to Meng County under the leadership of Yincha.

-

"What? You said that Lady Wanbao from Yudu Mountain came here by herself?"

A middle-aged man wearing a gold and black official robe and an official hat, who was reviewing memorials, raised his head.

"Yes, Lord City God, she is waiting for you in the reception room right now!"

The City God put down the pen in his hand, straightened his robe, and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Soon he saw the figure wearing the ink-and-wash robe.

The City God smiled politely, bowed and said, "Sorry for the wait! I'm busy with official duties, I hope Your Majesty will not be so polite!"

Chongfan, who was drinking the guest tea, put down the cup, stood up, nodded and saluted, saying: "Good night, City God. I came in a hurry, I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Haha, no, no. I am Fu Ankang, honored as the City God of Meng County. Your Majesty has come from afar, so please forgive me if I am not polite enough."

After a brief greeting, both the host and the guests were in a good mood.

"The main reason I came here is to ask for a favor from the City God." Chongfan said straight to the point.

"Oh? What happened?" The City God looked confused.

Chongfan told him the general story and asked at the end, "I wonder how the City God will judge this?"

The City God thought for a while and said, "Let the ghost woman come up."

Soon the ghost woman was brought up.

The City God gave a look, and Judge Wen, who was standing beside him, produced a book from his hand, quickly turned to a certain page, and read aloud:

"Xu Cui, a native of Xujiazhuang, Luoxia Town, was born on May 20th, the 57th year of Jinghe, and died on February 23rd, the 13th year of Tai'an. She had no merits or faults in her life, and had sixty years left to live."

Judge Wen then looked at the City God and said, "Originally, this woman should have been sent to the Ghost City, and when her life span ended, she would automatically enter the reincarnation cycle. However, she showed up in the Yang world without permission, causing panic among the mortals and disturbing the Yin and Yang worlds. According to the law, she should be beaten with twenty ghost whips."

The City God uttered “hmm” but did not make any final statement.

He thought about the conversation he had just had with Chongfan, his eyes fell on Xu Cui, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Then he said to Xu Cui: "I see that you have no blood or resentment towards others. I think you did not do any evil when you appeared in the world of the living."

Xu Cui was delighted.

"Moreover," the City God added, "I think you committed the crime out of your deep love for your children, which is human nature. In summary, the punishment can be reduced appropriately."

He was silent for two seconds, then said, "Just sentence him to ten ghost whips."

Xu Cui was not worried but happy. She immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord City God, for your mercy."

She turned and bowed to Chongfan again, saying, "Thank you, Madam, for your plea."

She knew in her heart that if it weren't for Lady Wanbao's plea, a little ghost like her would not have the qualifications to meet the City God and have her sentence reduced.

He would have been thrown into prison and beaten with twenty ghost whips long ago.

Now that the punishment has been halved, she is already satisfied.

The City God waved his hand, and two ghost messengers took Xu Cui away as ordered.

"By the way, I want to thank you for not only getting rid of the evildoer, but also for telling us the mystery of the missing sword of the Cambridge."

Chongfan said modestly: "It's just a small favor."

"Hey," the City God waved his hand, "your little effort has helped us a lot!"

He continued, "Your Highness, you may not know that the treacherous Taoist has captured hundreds of people in Meng County and the surrounding remote villages and towns!"

The City God gnashed his teeth as he spoke, "But he is a very cunning man. He never shows up himself. He either orders those mortals or a group of ghost slaves, while he himself stays far away."

Moreover, this guy is very smart. He specifically causes trouble in places with weak defenses, and runs away when he sees the situation is not good.

The most important thing is that this cunning Taoist seems to be able to predict the future. Sometimes he seems to be caught, but he always escapes in advance...

Therefore, although he has always been on the wanted list, he has never been caught.

"I didn't expect that he would fall into your hands! You helped us solve a big problem!"

After getting rid of the evil Taoist priest, there have been fewer cases of missing persons during this period.

Chongfan didn't expect that the strange Taoist priest had such a background.

Then she became more alert.

According to the City God, the evil Taoist was obviously a capable general under King Mohe.

The kind with full performance.

He fell into my hands like this, wouldn't King Mohe be so angry with me?

It seems that I need to be more careful during this period.

Especially the people and monsters under his command, they must be more careful.

Lest they fall into evil hands.

As for the group of villagers at the foot of Yudu Mountain, in order to prevent King Mohe from harming innocent people, she set up a protective formation at the mouth of Mule River when she returned.

"But King Mohe is a vindictive demon, so you have to be more careful, Your Majesty."

The City God said sincerely.

"Thank you for the reminder, City God!"

Chongfan bowed and saluted.

The city god nodded.

"As for the demon woman who destroyed the spirit sword mentioned in the letter, she is the adopted daughter of King Mohe, known as Yaoji. This goddess is elusive and never appears in front of us. As King Mohe's right-hand man, she has done many evil things for him. As for why she destroyed the spirit sword, the magic detective of the Demon Suppression Division and I have a guess."

"Appreciate further details."

The City God's expression suddenly became serious.

He dismissed his attendants, leaving only his confidants by his side, and said quietly:

"We suspect that King Mohe is about to break through!"
