The bright mirror hung high

He hadn't expected that he would receive such high-quality Incense Offerings so soon after arriving in Pingshui City.

With such Incense Offerings, his cultivation level will definitely be able to improve directly.

Hearing Fang Weiyan's words, Fude absorbed all the Incense Offerings in front of him.

Seeing that the other party had finished absorbing the energy, Fang Weiyan took the Buddha statue back and then went to the back of the main hall.

According to the layout of the temple, there is usually a tall Guanyin behind the main hall.

Sure enough, when Fang Weiyan arrived at the back of the main hall, he immediately saw a Thousand-Armed Guanyin with a thousand hands. Upon seeing the Guanyin, Fang Weiyan took Guanyin directly over.

Immediately afterwards, the azure Incense Offerings was absorbed.

After the other party had finished absorbing the energy, Fang Weiyan put the Guanyin back.

At this moment, divine light began to flicker on the altar of the Fude.

Then, an old man slowly began to materialize.

The old man held a jade tablet in his hand, and a scabbard hung at his waist, but there was no sword on the scabbard.

"It has taken Transformation?"

Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow upon seeing this.

When he left last time, Fude also looked like he was about to enter the Transformation Stage, but he was still a little short.

But after offering so much Incense Offerings and offerings, he's only just entered the Transformation Stage? Isn't that a bit too pathetic?

Fang Weiyan frowned, sensing that something was amiss with this cultivation level.

At this moment, Fude held the jade tablet with both hands and said respectfully, "This humble deity has not yet fully refined this Incense Offerings. After refining it, I believe my cultivation can improve a little more."

Fang Weiyan was relieved after hearing this.

If the other party's cultivation level had actually reached this point, Fang Weiyan would have to question how the other party could possibly have achieved such a level.

"You should continue your cultivation for now, and come find me when you are finished."

After saying that, Fang Weiyan returned directly to Earth.

The statue had been placed in its position. After confirming that no flaws had been left, Fang Weiyan went to the entrance and opened the side door.

"Layman, have you finished your worship?"

The usher at the door saw Fang Weiyan come out and immediately put his hands together, looking at Fang Weiyan with some strangeness.

They've only been inside for a short time, and they're already done?

"Okay, all done."

Fang Weiyan waved his hand, indicating that he was done on his end.

As he spoke, Fang Weiyan walked towards the gate, glancing at the lay Buddhists who had come to offer incense.

Looking around, it was clear that the lay Buddhists who came to offer incense were all of the blue rank.

However, the Incense Offerings emanating from inside the Buddha statue is blue.

This is because so many people are offering incense that the quality has changed drastically.

Fude had mentioned this to Fang Weiyan before.

To generate a higher level of Incense Offerings, one needs to store a large amount of Incense Offerings and allow it to accumulate slowly.

When the quantity is sufficient, a qualitative change will naturally occur.

The Incense Offerings here has remained untouched, and as the amount accumulated, it naturally rose to the blue quality.

The amount of blue-quality Incense Offerings that was just absorbed by Fude was quite substantial.

It's unknown how much the other party's cultivation will improve after absorbing this.

Fang Weiyan hurriedly left the temple and then went to the city to book a room.

He needed to determine the extent of Fude's cultivation.

If he can deal with the demons around him, he won't need to bother with the other Incense Offerings for the time being.

If that still doesn't work, then Fang Weiyan will try to feed the other person more Incense Offerings.

Make sure the other side can completely eliminate all the demons roaming around Pingshui City.

Pingjiang City.

Fang Weiyan returned just now, but Fude hadn't finished burning the Incense Offerings yet.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan didn't urge her any further, and Tao Lingluo went back to absorbing the fertilizer.

However, Tao Lingluo did not slack off; while absorbing fertilizer, she stayed in the fields outside to supervise the work.

Fang Weiyan was quite satisfied with this.

Fang Weiyan sat in the government office, his brow furrowing slightly as he thought about the rat demon's assassination attempt on him the previous night.

Why would those guys in Yanhuai City be targeting me for no reason?

Was it because he had given Princess Jin'an 80,000 taels of silver, or because of the disaster relief matter?

Or perhaps it's about the Dragon Prince's offspring being Human Tribulation?

Fang Weiyan found it strange that the Dragon Prince's offspring were destined for Human Tribulation.

Why would those burly men go off to steal fish? And what if they use someone else to kill the fish? It all seems a bit odd.

"Or maybe that really is the reason; those guys might be trying to frame someone..."

Fang Weiyan's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.

He realized that if the Dragon King's offspring died in his Pingjiang City, the Pingjiang City would be doomed.

The other party probably doesn't know that he saved the Dragon King, but now the other party has sent demons to kill him.

He killed himself, most likely because of Pingjiang City.

If that's the case, it seems to make sense.

After all, he is now the governor of Jiangling Commandery.

Fang Weiyan pondered this matter, hesitating whether or not to report it to the Emperor.

Even as the sun began to set, Fang Weiyan still hadn't figured out the problem.

Just as Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan his head, a figure appeared before him. "This humble god greets Your Excellency!"

The person before them was none other than Fude, who had manifested earlier.

At this moment, Fude held the jade tablet in both hands, his face looking extremely energetic, and in appearance he was no different from a human.

Upon seeing Fude appear, Fang Weiyan's expression immediately turned serious. "You've refined all the Incense Offerings?"

"Yes, it has all been refined."

Fude nodded and said.

Fang Weiyan looked him up and down and asked, "So, what level has your cultivation reached now?"

"Reporting to your Excellency, I have already taken the first step into the Spirit Platform Realm."

"So fast?"

Fang Weiyan was somewhat surprised to hear this; he also felt that the Incense Offerings he had brought was quite remarkable.

After all, they had both reached the blue grade, but they never expected that the other party's cultivation level could rise to this level.

Judging from this, the other party's cultivation is much better than the Dragon King's.

The poor Dragon King cultivated for over a thousand years, yet he was only at the Spirit Platform Realm.

But Fude was about to catch up.

"If it weren't for the Incense Offerings bestowed by you, I wouldn't have achieved my current level of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Fude bowed again and said with utmost sincerity.

This was something he had thought about before, back in Linbei County.

With an adult by his side, his cultivation level will definitely increase very quickly.

However, working for an adult requires satisfying that adult; otherwise, one might end up like the City God from before.

He was demoted as a result.

Have you heard about what happened outside Pingjiang City?

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan stopped wasting words and got straight to the point.

"I already knew this beforehand. Now, all I need is your command, and I will leave the city to capture those demons."

"Alright, then go and capture those demons. After interrogating them, determine which demons abducted and ate the people."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately responded with a shout, ordering the other party to capture the demon at once.

Especially that female ghost, how long has she been staring at him?

As long as this female ghost is alive, Fang Weiyan will always feel a chill in his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and capture those demons immediately."

Upon hearing this, Fude immediately accepted the order and walked out with his head held high.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan also waited patiently.

He wanted to see how long it would take Fude to bring those guys back.

However, Fude did not keep Fang Weiyan waiting for long. After nearly two hours, it was completely dark.

Lanterns were hung throughout Pingjiang City, making the Pingjiang City appear somewhat bustling.

The streets were bustling with people.

The streets were ablaze with lights, making Pingjiang City bustling with activity.

This was not the case two months ago.

Throughout the entire Pingjiang City, only a few streets are decorated with lanterns.

The other streets were shrouded in darkness, pitch black.

"My lord, all the demons have been captured and brought to justice!"

Fang Weiyan sat upright at the table, flipping through the books in his hands. He was clearly waiting for Fude to return.

The sooner Fude returns, the better it proves the other party's abilities.

If Fang Weiyan doesn't return after waiting all night, then Fang Weiyan should consider whether to replace him with a City God.

Fortunately, it took Fude two hours to finally return.

Upon arriving at the government office, he threw it directly in front of Fang Weiyan.

Several demonic creatures were thrown in front of Fang Weiyan.

Fang Weiyan looked closely and saw a variety of strange and wonderful monsters in front of him.

Then Fang Weiyan saw a woman standing to the side who looked rather pitiful. The woman was dressed in white, with an oval face, slightly furrowed eyebrows, and tears in her eyes, looking utterly pitiful.

I recognize you.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Fang Weiyan finally felt a Shitou lifted from his heart.

This is the same female ghost who told him she twisted her ankle and asked him to take her home when he first arrived, and who also said she wanted to dig out his heart and liver to see them.

This made Fang Weiyan remember this woman very vividly.

After all, this guy really is going to cut off his kidney.

"My lord, I was only joking with you. You have an extraordinary air about you, and I only wished to offer myself to you. I hope you will understand."

Upon seeing Fang Weiyan before her, the female ghost sensed something was wrong and immediately knelt down, bowing respectfully.

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and gave Fang Weiyan a flirtatious wink. The clothes she was wearing intentionally or unintentionally revealed a bit of her shoulder, collarbone, and a stunningly white patch below, all of which were fully exposed at this moment.

Seeing this, Fang Weiyan remained unmoved. "Drag her out and execute her. Also, notify that family in the city and have them come to witness the interrogation."

Fang Weiyan casually mentioned something, and the City God immediately responded, dragging the female ghost out of the government office without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the female ghost was so frightened that she begged for mercy repeatedly.

However, the people present remained completely unmoved.

"Guards, go and invite the Lin family and their families here."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, those around him immediately responded and withdrew.

After Fude killed the female ghost, he floated in again and stood to the side, putting immense pressure on the lesser demons present.

Soon, news spread that Fang Weiyan was going to interrogate the demon, and the people of the city came upon hearing the news. In a short while, the area outside the yamen was crowded with people.

The Lin family and their families soon arrived at the government office.

"Grown ups."

The two families had barely entered when they immediately knelt down Fang Weiyan.

"Are the people below the hall the parents of the deceased Lin Liangchu and Lin Qiuyi?"

"Reporting to your Excellency, it is indeed I, a humble citizen."

When the two families entered, their faces were deathly pale, and their eyes were filled with tears.

Fang Weiyan nodded upon seeing this, then turned to look at the demon beside him.

"The other day, two children in Pingjiang City were eaten alive by a monster. Tell me, who among you did this?"

"Reporting to you, sir, this was not done by this humble demon! These days I've only been eating fruit and drinking dew, how could I possibly have done such a thing?"

"My lord, I didn't do that either! I was busy fighting with the mountain Mountain Spirit when I came in, I didn't have time to do anything like that!"

Mountain Spirit?

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan's heart stirred, and he glanced at the guy who had just said he was going to fight the Mountain Spirit.

This thing looks like a pangolin?

He has a pointed face, but he doesn't look cunning at all; instead, he exudes a kind of honest and simple charm.

Fang Weiyan would naturally not do things based on appearances.

"How dare you! Tell the truth!"

Fang Weiyan was somewhat angry. Among all the demons present, not one admitted it, and that was bad enough.

Perhaps it wasn't one of the demons who did it, but they definitely know who did it.

"Even if it wasn't some of you demons who did it, you definitely know who did it, so you might as well confess!"

Enraged, Fang Weiyan slammed his fist on the table.

After Fang Weiyan slammed his hand down, the Bright Mirror Hanging High hanging above his head suddenly shone with an incomparably bright light, as if a bright mirror were suspended high above.

The little demons below, however, were completely exposed by the mirror.

Upon seeing this, the little demons trembled with fear.

"My lord, it really wasn't me, a lowly demon..."

A rat with a docked tail on the side wanted to quibble when he saw this, but before he could finish his words, the clear words on the plaque were typed down, and the rat was pressed to the ground and rubbed.

"Sir, I... I'll tell you!"

The rat spirit was pinned to the ground, unable to withstand the pressure, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my friend and I captured two children and ate them together."

As she spoke, the rat spirit pointed to another demon standing to the side.

Upon seeing this, the demon's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly tried to explain, but the character "Mirror" immediately floated down from the plaque, suppressing him on the spot.

"Yes, it was Xiao Yao and the other party who did it together..."

The little demon beside her couldn't bear it and could only say helplessly.

How long has it been since anyone used this plaque that Bright Mirror Hanging High? How come this guy is using it so skillfully?

Under this plaque that Bright Mirror Hanging High, there will never be a single miscarriage of justice.

Knowing the power of this Bright Mirror Hanging High, the little demons could only submit.

"Is there something you haven't said yet?"

Seeing that the two demons had finished speaking, but the words still showed no sign of flying away, Fang Weiyan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was immediately clear that these two little demons probably hadn't revealed something.

"Yes, I, Little Demon, also abducted quite a few refugees on the road before!"

Seeing that Fang Weiyan was relentlessly pursuing them, and feeling that the words pressing down on them showed no sign of peeling off, the rat spirit beside them quickly spoke up.

"Speak! Tell us how many people you ate, and how many other demons you devoured."

The other fairies standing nearby turned bright red upon hearing this.

They've been eating these things for so long, and nobody ever cared before. Why are they being investigated now? And it looks like they're going to be punished?

But seeing Fang Weiyan's serious expression, the group of demons knew they couldn't escape now and could only honestly confess what they had done.

After they explained, everyone was taken aback.

It turns out these guys have been doing this for quite some time.

Previously, they had even infiltrated Pingjiang City and secretly ate people.

As the little demons below spoke, Fang Weiyan listened with a gloomy face, taking notes as he did so.

Soon, after the little demons finished speaking, Fang Weiyan also wrote down the matter on ten pages.

The records above show the people the other party ate.

"Drag him out and behead him."

After confirming that these were the ones who did it, Fang Weiyan waved his hand, signaling Fude to kill the demons directly.

Upon hearing this, Fude, without saying a word, grabbed the lesser demons from the ground, took them outside, and killed them in full view of everyone.

The blood that flowed from these demons after they were killed emitted a strange fragrance, making people want to take a bite.

These are demons, they possess cultivation, and both demons and humans will benefit greatly from eating them.

However, if ordinary people eat too much, they may easily die from overeating.

Fang Weiyan had smelled a hint of this fragrance before in the blood of the small cuttlefish.

After killing the demon, Fude burned it as instructed by Fang Weiyan.

A demon that has eaten a human cannot be allowed to be taken back and eaten by others; Fang Weiyan himself could not accept that.

Have you ever seen the Mountain Spirit?

After killing those demons, Fang Weiyan turned back and asked about the pangolin.

"Of course I've seen him, but I don't get along with the Mountain Spirit, and we've been fighting a lot these days."

The pangolin trembled with fear at Fang Weiyan's methods. All the other creatures they had captured were dead, and he was worried that he might be next.

You should know that pangolins that haven't become sentient are usually destined to be eaten if they are caught by humans.

Now that he has cultivated his skills, wouldn't that make people even more eager to eat him?

"Tell me what that Mountain Spirit looks like."

Fang Weiyan also became interested and asked the pangolin a question.

He had previously read some records about Mountain Spirit in books, but they were all just rumors.

Fang Weiyan wanted to know whether this Mountain Spirit was a woman or like a wild man.

"She's about the same size as your Human Race women, but the Mountain Spirit is even more beautiful."

The pangolin didn't know what Fang Weiyan meant, so it could only answer honestly.

Although he was also a demon, he did find the Mountain Spirit Mountain Spirit to be more attractive.

"Oh, since you're all good-looking, why are you fighting?"

Fang Weiyan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Generally speaking, people wouldn't think of attacking a beautiful creature, right?

"Her good looks have nothing to do with me. I'm not human, I don't fall for that kind of thing. If I could, I'd even beat her to death!"

The pangolin snorted a few times upon hearing this, clearly showing no liking for the Mountain Spirit.
