Chapter 294: The Destruction of the Ghost Festival
Pingjiang City.
The shadows of trees beside the busy street are like smoke.
As soon as Zhou Dao and Wang Xiaoyi came back, they heard many people chatting about the same thing.
"I heard that a few days ago, the masters of Yuyaosi met some tough people, and they lost troops and generals outside, and many people died."
"I heard from the son-in-law of my third uncle's cousin and nephew's father-in-law that this matter has something to do with Yuanmen."
"What? Isn't the Yuan Clan destroyed? Why are there still remnants of evil?"
"Aren't the Yuanmen and the Guiguizong very close? This time, it was the Jiguizongwei Yuanmen who took the lead and took dozens of lives from the Yaosi."
"It's really cruel, aren't they afraid of death?"
Zhou Dao listened to the discussions in the streets and alleys, and smiled knowingly.
After all, Long Ao was the commander in chief, and he handled things safely. Not only did he write a report, but he also created public opinion among the people. With two prongs, he was convicted of sacrificing ghosts.
Now that there is no proof of death, the ghost sacrifice sect is really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it is either shit or shit.
"The ghost sacrifice is probably over." Wang Xiaoyi couldn't help but said.
"Hurry up and go back to the department, this time it's exciting to watch." Zhou Dao sneered.
There is really no need for a dog sect like Jigui sect to exist. Whether he has colluded with the Yuan sect is still a matter of debate, but he dared to go to Ping'an Town to show off his power and kill people. This is a violation of Zhou Dao.
Even if the imperial court did not act, he could not let Jiguizong go.
Back at the Yuyaosi, it happened that a team of demon-slaying guards were registering with large glazed vats.
The aquatic plants floated in the tank, and ripples appeared, and a [Peach Pit] the size of a skull was swimming freely in the water.
"What the hell? The peach pit has become a demon too?" Wang Xiaoyi's eyes widened, a little suspicious.
"Damn it, I finally caught this monster. The spring water in Nongfu Mountain is undrinkable." A demon-killing guard kicked the glazed water tank and gave [Peach-Heart Monster] a vicious look.
"What's the situation?" Wang Xiaoyi asked curiously.
Nongfu Mountain, 800 miles away from Pingjiang City, is famous for its fresh and sweet spring water, known as a gift from nature, only Baijitang sells it, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it from Nongfu Mountain Spring every month.
They declared that they never produced water, they were just porters.
It is precisely because of this that in Pingjiang City, a bucket of Nongfu Mountain's sweet spring costs five taels of silver.
Even so, many wealthy families rushed to buy it, and they usually only drink spring water from Nongfu Mountain.
In Pingjiang City, drinking the spring water of Nongfu Mountain is a status symbol, and only the upper class are eligible to drink it every day.
"Don't mention it, there is actually a peach-core demon raised in the spring of Nongfu Mountain, exuding evil spirits every day, the water source has long been polluted..."
A demon-slaying guard said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, the son of a wealthy merchant fell seriously ill because of drinking spring water. The wealthy merchant sent people to Nongfu Mountain overnight, only to find out that there are monsters hidden in the water source..."
Wang Xiaoyi was stunned that such a flawed old account could have such flaws.
"The most amazing thing is that Baijitang announced that night that their water does not come from Nongfu Mountain, but ordinary well water, so that everyone can drink it with confidence and don't have to panic..."
"..."
Hearing this, Zhou Dao was shocked.
"Is it okay to ride a horse?" Wang Xiaoyi was surprised.
It turns out that business can still do this, which completely subverts his three views.
A few days ago, Wang Xiaoyi's family developed the [Graveyard Loan] business, which was considered a pioneering work, but compared with the spring water in Nongfu Mountain, it was nothing worth mentioning.
He had tasted the spring water from Nongfu Mountain before, and it was indeed a little sweet. Damn, he even lied to me that it was a gift from nature. I have to thank him for not letting me drink peach pit sewage?
"..."
Hearing this, Zhou Dao was shocked.
"Is it okay to ride a horse?" Wang Xiaoyi was surprised.
It turns out that business can still do this, which is the peak of his three views.
Before, the [Graveyard Loan] business developed by his family was considered a pioneering work, but compared with the spring water in Nongfu Mountain, it was nothing worth mentioning.
"Damn it, I won't drink it again." Wang Xiaoyi scolded through gritted teeth.
There are also two tanks of spring water from Nongfu Mountain in his home.
A bucket of five taels of silver, a large jar is one hundred and twenty taels of silver.
"Let you prodigal." Zhou Dao pouted.
No wonder the last time he went to Wang Xiaoyi's house, it tasted like water from his own well.
"Damn it, I won't drink it again." Wang Xiaoyi scolded through gritted teeth.
There are also two tanks of spring water from Nongfu Mountain in his home.

"Let you prodigal." Zhou Dao pouted.
No wonder the last time he went to Wang Xiaoyi's house, it tasted like water from his own well.
"You are finally back."
Just at this moment, Wang Xuanzhi happened to come back from a meeting, saw Zhou Dao as soon as he entered the lobby, and rushed to greet him.
Wang Xuanzhi looked around, and pulled Zhou Dao and Wang Xiaoyi aside.
"Does the incident in Ping'an Town have anything to do with you?" Wang Xuanzhi asked in a low voice.
When Long Ao came back and heard the news, he immediately thought of Zhou Dao.
Jigui Zong, a majestic master of the Nine Changes, is so arrogant, openly defying the imperial court and killing people, how can he still survive? Isn't this courting death!
There are too many suspicious points here, Wang Xuanzhi first thought of Zhou Dao.
"How about offering sacrifices to the ghost sect?" Zhou Dao asked instead.
"The ghost sacrifice is over." Wang Xuanzhi shook his head.
After the incident in Ping'an Town was reported, it quickly spread among the people. Although there were many doubts, it was a firm fact that the masters of Jiguizong killed innocent people indiscriminately. Worship ghosts.
"This time they dispatched [Xing Junwei] from Lin'an Mansion, even those who surpassed the Nine Transformations were dispatched." Wang Xuanzhi sighed.
The strength of Yuyaosi is indeed unfathomable. In addition to the demon-killing guards, there are also hidden powers such as [Ji Dao Wei] and [Xing Jun Wei].
In particular, [Xing Junwei] specializes in the ability to crusade against Xing Mie, and is powerful.
[Xing Junwei] in Lin'an Mansion even has strong men beyond the Nine Transformations.
"In one night, the entire sect was wiped out, all the masters of the ghost worship sect were killed or injured, and the remaining remnants were also pierced through the bones of the lute, and their dantian energy was abolished, and they were escorted to the capital."
Wang Xuanzhi lamented that although the Ghost Sacrificing Sect is not a top-notch sect, it has been passed down for hundreds of years anyway.
Hundreds of years of incense were cut off overnight.
No matter how strong the sect is, it is hard to beat the mighty king.
You must know that the current Great Qin Dynasty has made all six major sects in the world fearful, and even the small ghost worship sect dares to provoke it.
"It deserves it!" Zhou Dao spat.
The culprit was the culprit, and the ghost sacrifice sect was completely exterminated. At this moment, the resentment in Zhou Dao's chest dissipated a little.
"I remember that Yuan Shaoqing was originally a disciple of the Ghost Festival." Wang Xiaoyi raised his mouth.
It has to be said that anyone who is involved with Yuan Shaoqing will end badly, not counting the masters who were implicated by him before, but now that the Yuan family is over, even the ghost worship sect thousands of miles away has been affected, and the incense is gone. Completely cut off, it is quite desolate.
"Big happy event, call the old horse, and have a big meal at the Yujing Tower in the evening." Zhou Dao greeted.
He, Wang Xuanzhi, Wang Xiaoyi, and Ma Yinglong all came out of Ping'an Town. Now that the Ghost Festival is over, it is natural to celebrate.
"Lao Ma is out on business, it may take two days to come back." Wang Xuanzhi said.
"That's it...then wait for him to come back." Zhou Dao thought for a while.
"Can't you treat us to a meal first?" Wang Xiaoyi pouted.
"It's not tomorrow yet?" Zhou Dao smiled, and suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Long Ao walked in at the entrance of the lobby.
The commander-in-chief also happened to see Zhou Dao, quickly lowered his head, and walked along the wall to enter without making a sound.
