Many great gods from various departments under the jurisdiction of the City God of Gyeonggi Prefecture chased out, especially the chief of the Yin and Yang Department. His pair of eyes tracked yin and yang, often making it difficult for many evil spirits to escape.
Ji Yuan was standing next to the restaurant diagonally opposite the City God Temple in Miaosifang, watching the decadent Zhou Niansheng being taken into the City God Temple by the soul-catcher and disappearing, and then looking at the direction in which the white-haired woman escaped.
Many times, mortals are easily bewitched by evil spirits, and often they are bewitched without realizing it, thus wasting their own vitality in vain.
At the beginning, Ji Yuan actually didn't dare to conclude what the relationship was between Zhou Niansheng and Ruoniang, as he mentioned. After all, a true and sincere love between a human and a demon is so rare. In the previous life's Legend of the White Snake, didn't the White Snake also deceive Xu Xian at the beginning
However, when they arrived at the gate of the underworld, what really touched Ji Yuan was the woman's tearful farewell. The true feelings revealed moved Ji Yuan so much that he was willing to believe in the love between a human and a demon.
'The City God of Gyeonggi Prefecture is a little hard to deal with...'
With a self-deprecating smile, Ji Yuan took a step forward and his figure became ethereal, moving towards the direction of Jinyufang like a dragon shrinking the earth.
With his mind and body fully activated, he returned to Zhou Mansion in no time.
There was still crying inside the Zhou Mansion. All the Zhou family members, young and old, gathered around Zhou Niansheng's bed to express their sorrow. Two servants were changing Zhou Niansheng's burial clothes before his body became stiff.
The woman's body was temporarily placed on a straw mat on the ground and was not treated excessively.
"I never thought that I, Ji Yuan, who has a great reputation throughout my life, would actually do something like stealing corpses!"
As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Ji Yuan didn't care about anything else. He rushed into the house with a trick to hide his figure, and waved his sleeves at the woman's body through the air.
When the body was floating in the air, Ji Yuan felt something was wrong. Although the weight seemed to be that of a woman, it revealed a strange sense of falsehood.
He opened his Dharma eyes wide and saw that the flesh and blood body in his hand was actually just a white tail. This means that the demon soul that seemed to be kidnapped by the soul-stealing demon was actually not just a soul!
This trick even fooled Ji Yuan, although Ji Yuan's eyes were only half open just now, and although it might be because the other party had no ill intentions, at least Ji Yuan was not able to notice it and take a closer look. This was considered a skill and was by no means comparable to ordinary sleight of hand.
Although he was shocked, Ji Yuan didn't care about it and immediately left with this "body".
When Ji Yuan left again, the woman's body was already floating beside him and disappeared into the house with him.
The Zhou family was still crying when a servant suddenly discovered that the woman's body was missing and started screaming in shock.
"Mrs. Bai Ruo's body is missing!"
"He was here just now, and he disappeared in an instant!"
"It was originally a demon, so it ran away by itself?" "Shh..."
"It's so scary today!" "Come with me to find it!"
…
As they were talking, the eldest son of the Zhou family and two servants searched everywhere outside the house and the yard, but of course they found nothing.
The Zhou family was in a little chaos for a while before they calmed down. After Ji Yuan learned that the woman's name was Bai Ruo, he quickly took her body and left. He shuttled through the city like green smoke, away from the temple, and headed towards the imperial city.
Avoid crowds when there are many people, avoid noisy places when there are too many people, and don't jump too high for fear of being discovered by ghosts or gods.
Less than a cup of tea after Ji Yuan left with the woman's body, the god of the underworld and a chief officer rushed to the Zhou family. After all, although the monster might not dare to go back after escaping, they still had to be on guard against it coming back to take the body.
It was only when they arrived at Zhou's house that they discovered that the monster's physical body had also disappeared.
Ji Yuan's thoughts at this moment were somewhat complicated.
"Running away with the body of someone you love, what kind of thing is that!"
But there was no way. Although strictly speaking, with the magic sword at his side, Ji Yuan might not be afraid of the City God of Jingji Prefecture if he tried his best, and Tongtian River was not far away.
But I am not in the right, and I really don't want to conflict with the underworld. However, if I think about it carefully, it seems that I really want the underworld to give me some face, but that would be too troublesome. It is better to solve the problem simply if possible. This is the only way.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ji Yuan entered an attic in the backyard of a wealthy mansion in the city. He went straight to the third floor and then waved his sleeves to put the woman's body down.
This attic is a study, but it should be seldom visited and there is not much traffic left. There is already a layer of dust on the corridor outside the third-layer roller curtain. It seems that the servants in this mansion only clean it occasionally.
"It's only been a short while. Since you dared to send your lover to the gate of the City God Temple, you should not have been caught yet, right?"
Ji Yuan muttered something and didn't think too much about it. He bent his knees and half-knelt beside the woman. He touched her forehead with his left hand, pointed his right hand in the air and drew a circle, and a command sound came from the depths of his throat.
"Let Bairuo come quickly, let Bairuo come quickly!"
He retracted the sword finger of his right hand and gently slapped the virtual circle he had just drawn. An obscure halo spread out in the air like waves.
Arrest the gods.
You can also use it this way!
In the city, the soul of the woman was so powerful that several chief officials of the Yin and Yang Department could not catch up with her. Not only was her speed strange, but her breath was also weird. From time to time, she would perform a trick similar to escaping from her shell. If the chief officials of the Yin and Yang Department had not been chasing her all the time, she would have escaped long ago.
The situation is very critical now. The judge in the back has never stopped writing his pen, constantly describing the woman's appearance. Once the judge makes the final decision, she will have nowhere to hide as long as she cannot escape the jurisdiction of the City God Temple.
But as long as the City God of Gyeonggi Prefecture does not come to arrest her personally, Bai Ruo will be sure to escape. The price will of course be high. Not only will her soul be damaged, but she may also not be able to get her tail back.
However, it is worth it for the body transformed from the tail to be buried together with Zhou Niansheng. Although the eldest son of the Zhou family has a bad temper, he is at least truly filial and will definitely let himself and Zhou Niansheng be buried together after death.
He could no longer stay in Gyeonggi Prefecture. After escaping for so long, the city wall of the capital was right in front of him. Bai Ruo's demonic aura rose up and he used his magic power to crash into the city wall in front of him.
With a swish, he passed through the wall directly. He felt relieved immediately. Now that he was out of the city, he didn't have to worry about the power of the City God of Thorn Prefecture and could use the Breath-Concealing Escape Talisman.
But it seemed too early to relax. As soon as he walked out of the city wall, he saw a strong golden light in front of him, which was a large golden net woven by vines.
"Gyeonggi-do Land!"
Gyeonggi Prefecture not only has a City God, but also a real land god, the real land god who is in charge of Gyeonggi Prefecture!
"The monster is seeking death!"
When the voice of the land god's scolding came, Bai Ruo was already in a state of death. He didn't expect that the land god would be alarmed so quickly. He really didn't have a chance at all. Even if he had the breath-concealing talisman, how could he escape from under the nose of the land god
'Maybe it would be nice to go and keep Zhou Lang company!'
But in the eyes of the God of Land, the vine net covered nothing, and the monster disappeared before the vine net was closed.
"Um?"
Although the local governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture was an old man, he was nine feet tall and dressed in a robe. He held a thick rattan staff in his hand and looked at the direction where the monster disappeared with a puzzled look on his face.
Looking back into the city and then glancing outside the city, he could not detect where the monster had gone.
Behind the city wall, the chief officers of various departments of the City God came flying over. When they got outside and saw the land god standing outside the city, they all bowed and greeted him.
"Meet the God of Land!"
"Excuse me, God of Land, have you seen a monster escape?"
When the chief officer of the Yin-Yang Department asked, his eyes were still looking at the rattan net in the hands of the Earth God, but there was nothing inside.
The God of Land was also extremely puzzled at this moment.
"Someone happened to be offering sacrifices in the temple before. When I was enjoying the offerings, I saw a commotion in the city, with a demonic aura and magical lights flashing, so I chased out to find out what was going on. I was about to catch the demon, but to my surprise... the demon disappeared!"
"Disappeared?"
The chief official of the underworld and the ghost messenger all looked at each other in bewilderment. It was really unbelievable that the monster could escape with the God of Land here. If it had such magical powers, why would it need to run
. . .
On the third floor of the library in the mansion, Bai Ruo's real body was like a piece of iron sucked by a strong magnet. It was pulled out directly from the air ripples and fell to the ground with a "bang" onto its original "flesh body".
With a slightly dizzy head, she looked at her "body" in a daze, and found that the word "匿" (anonymous) was surrounded by the triangular position on the outside of her body.
These words are all made up of dust gathered from the ground, firmly stuck to the ground in three places, and an obscure and hidden power emerges from them.
Looking around again, I found a man in white sitting aside, looking in the direction of the temple. He was wearing a thin long gown with wide sleeves, and his hair was in a loose bun with a black hairpin inserted in it.
Bai Ruo looked left and right and could only conclude that this person was a "mortal", but she knew that this person was definitely not a mortal!
"Oh... what a trouble! Fortunately, my ability seems to be a little stronger than that of the land god!"
The man sighed as if in self-mockery before looking at Bai Ruo, allowing the latter to see the pair of pale and calm eyes.
