Soul echo

Chapter 618 Hero ([-])
The buildings of Lianshan Temple have been alienated. From the backyard of the temple to the mountain gate, all the buildings have grown bone spurs, tentacles and sharp teeth, turning them into flesh-and-blood materials.

After clearing out the Buddha statues in the main hall, Zhong Ye rushed to the backyard and found the residents who had been hiding in the backyard room before.

However, they are all corpses now.

Zhong Ye found only corpses in the wing room in the backyard of Lianshan Temple. Whether it was high-ranking officials and rich men in fine clothes or women captured by monks, they were all dead. devour.

"Are there any living people?" Zhong Ye raised his voice and asked.

Within his range of perception, he could no longer find any breath of life, but he still didn't want to just give up.

Next, he wants to destroy this place, he doesn't want to kill innocent people by mistake.

It's a pity that Zhong Ye asked three times, but there was no answer.

After a moment of silence, he sighed softly, and then Zhong Ye spit out a mouthful of flames, turned and left the wing.

When he walked out of the gate, flames rose up behind him, engulfing the already alienated wing.

Zhong Ye quickly walked towards the mountain gate, and the flames spread to every place in Lianshan Temple following his steps.

When Zhong Ye came to the mountain gate, Lilian and Dai Lila who were waiting here had already escaped far away.

The raging fire that soared into the sky brought endless heat, and the fiery waves kept hitting the ground, scorching Lilian and the others' faces.

Seeing Zhong Ye walking out of the mountain gate, Lilian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teacher, are there no living people inside?"

Zhong Ye shook his head, "Now in Lianshan Temple, the only living thing may be itself."

As soon as the words fell, he said again: "Let's go to the Jingzhou government office!"

Lilian froze for a moment, then followed Zhong Ye's footsteps, "Why are you going there?"

"Lianshan Temple is not secretive, but the Jingzhou Yamen has not reacted at all. If there is no connection between the two, who would believe it?"

Zhong Ye lowered his head, looked at the faithful men and women gathered at the foot of the mountain, and snorted coldly: "It can be said that among the women captured by Lianshan Temple, some of them were for the officials of the Jingzhou government, so they turned a blind eye!"

Hearing this, Lilian frowned.

If this is the case, wouldn't they want to fight the Jingzhou government next?
Although as long as they explain the reason clearly, maybe the government's police and the soldiers stationed in Jingzhou will fall to their side, but no one can say for sure.

After all, they don't know what the situation in Jingzhou is like, and whether the government is colluding.

Zhong Ye and the others went down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, they met a group of good men and women who were staring at the burning fire on the top of the mountain in a daze.

Until now, these believers have found it hard to believe that the entire temple of Lianshan Temple has fallen into a demonic way.

When the main body of the temple mutated, the monks who escaped with them also mutated. If Lilian and Delilah hadn't killed them, there might not be many people left.

This kind of thing had such an impact on them that they couldn't react for a while.

Before leaving the top of the mountain, Zhong Ye confirmed that the fire in Lianshan Temple could not cause a mountain fire, so it doesn't matter even if he leaves now.

Zhong Ye ignored those ignorant believers, and led Lilian and Dai Lila to walk among them.

Everyone looked at their backs with awe, but they didn't dare to say a word.

All the believers present knew that although Lianshan Temple had fallen into a demonic way, many precious scriptures and Buddhist treasures were still preserved in that temple.

Today, however, all this has been burned.

But they didn't dare to open their mouths, and several fragmented Buddha statues lay at the foot of the mountain, within sight of them.

The fate of those Buddha statues kept everyone silent, not daring to offend Zhong Ye.

Lianshan Temple is not very far from Jingzhou, so Jingzhou was able to discover the fire in Lianshan Temple.

When Zhong Ye and the others walked to Jingzhou City, they could hear many people discussing this matter.

The raging fire reflected half of the sky in Jingzhou. Even though the fire is weakening now, people can still see the red sky when they look up.

Jingzhou City Guard had already organized a group of soldiers to investigate the situation. When Zhong Ye and the others entered the city, they happened to pass by that group of soldiers.

At the gate of the city, Zhong Ye asked Lilian and the others for the direction of the official residence from a clerk, and walked in that direction.

Lilian looked away from the group of soldiers leaving the city, not only feeling a little surprised.

They came in so easily, they thought they were going to fight...

Zhong Ye and the others walked straight to the gate of the official mansion just like ordinary passers-by.

Zhong Ye looked up at the plaque and walked in.

"who?!"

Unlike the Jinmen prefecture, the Jingzhou prefectural government is not easy to enter.

When Zhong Ye and the others stepped over the threshold, there was a scolding sound from the side.

Zhong Ye didn't even glance over, his spiritual energy came out through his body, sealing the mouth and movements of that yamen servant.

The Huang Kingdom also has yamen servants, but it is different from the Qing Dynasty in China. The yamen servants of the Huang Kingdom can get some subsidies during their service, and at the same time they can reduce the three-month tax on the land under [-] mu at home, but the premise of all this is their work performance. Rated as 'Excellent'.

Performance appraisal, this should be an excellent system, but unfortunately, the assessors are appointed by the local yamen, in order to allow their family to be tax-free, the yamen servants can only curry favor with the assessors, therefore, this has become a fat job, and the people in charge This fat and poor county magistrate and magistrate has also become a tyrant in the prefecture and county.

The prefectural city is fine, there are city guards to restrict it, if it is at the county level, the county magistrate is a veritable 'Emperor of Earth'.

They dare not say it openly, but in fact, they all believe that they are the local rulers.

This also led to a strange phenomenon in Huangguo - the magistrate and city guard desperately wanted to climb up, but the county magistrate was unwilling to leave the place where he worked, and was not interested in being promoted at all.

——Since Lianshan Temple has happened in Jingzhou, are there similar things in other places?
This thought flashed through Zhong Ye's mind, and then he set his goal on the matter at hand.

Those are matters of other cities after all. Now that he is in Jingzhou, he can't affect other cities, and no matter how much he thinks about related issues, it won't help.

Zhong Ye broke into the Jingzhou government mansion and met many people along the way, but they were all frozen in place by psychic energy, unable to move or speak.

However, the noise caused by this made the people in the Jingzhou Yamen vigilant early on.

Just after Zhong Ye asked a yamen servant where the magistrate was, several arresters came over with a group of yamen servants.

"Don't move!"

They held guns in their hands, pointing at Zhong Ye and the others.

One of the arresters was sweating on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

He could tell at a glance that Zhong Ye was not simple, at least he had never seen such a strong aura in his own catcher, this person must be a martial arts master.

Zhong Ye turned his head to look, and said slowly: "My servant, Zhong Ye, is a master of martial arts. He came here this time because of the matter of Lianshan Temple, in order to ask the prefect of Jingzhou for an explanation."

——Grandmaster? !

"You said you are a master, but you are a master?"

A policeman stared round his eyes and shouted angrily: "Hands up!"

Zhong Ye glanced at him, and with a wave of his hand, the stellar energy turned into a gust of wind, hitting the policemen with guns, knocking the muskets away.

The policemen and the yamen servants could only watch Zhong Ye and the others go away. One of the policemen suddenly turned around and rushed towards the musket that fell on the ground.

boom!
A gunshot stunned everyone, and even the policeman who jumped at the musket stopped.

A bullet had embedded itself in the dirt in front of him, and the bullet hole was just two or three inches in front of his finger.

Lilian shook the revolver that was smoking from the muzzle, turned around and followed the footsteps of Zhong Ye and Dai Lila.

Looking at their backs, I don't know who mumbled something.

"It's over..."

Zhong Ye and the others broke into the yamen all the way, and came to the prefect's office.

Bang!
Lilian rushed ahead and kicked the door open excitedly—she had wanted to do this a long time ago!

Hearing this huge movement, the magistrate raised his head in astonishment, and when he saw Zhong Ye and the others, he stood up abruptly.

"Who are you? Come on, come on! There are assassins!"

"No one will come." Zhong Ye said coldly, walked up to the prefect, and looked down at him, "You are the prefect of Jingzhou, so, you should know what pickle things Lianshan Temple has done, right?"

Seeing the magistrate's face twitch, Zhong Ye asked with a gloomy expression: "If you know, why don't you care?"
