The Alternate World Is Too Dangerous: I Hide In Reality And Rule! Chapter 215

  Chapter 215 Ghost Prefect

rain?

  Wei Yang raised his head and looked at the sky. Although the sun was not covering it at the moment, the sky was still blue, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.

  Lin Ye saw Wei Yang's puzzled expression, but he didn't explain it. Instead, he looked to the left. On the mountainside, there was a dilapidated temple.

   "Go over there and hide from the rain."

  Lin Ye was the first to walk towards the mountainside on the left. Although Wei Yang was full of doubts, Lin Ye had already left, so he had to follow.

   It took only a quarter of an hour to go from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, Wei Yang looked at the ruined temple in front of him.

   It is said to be a ruined temple, but it is actually more like a small stone house built of stones for temporary rest. There is a stone statue of Bodhisattva in the house. Judging from the style of the sculpture, it is not a common appearance in ordinary temples.

   "This should be a local Buddhist Bodhisattva sculpture, which is somewhat different from the Sinicized Buddhist Bodhisattva in our country."

  When Wei Yang saw this Bodhisattva Buddha statue, he immediately recognized that it was a local Buddhist Bodhisattva, and explained something to Lin Ye.

  Lin Ye glanced at the Bodhisattva and then turned his gaze away. The Buddhism on the Helan Mountain side is different from the Buddhism in the southeast and the north. Most of the Buddhism in China is based on Zen Buddhism, but the Helan Mountain side is not.

   "Consultant Lin, there are many statues enshrined in this way on the mountain, but most of them are abandoned."

   "Since it is deserted, and this is the stone body, let us take shelter from the rain."

  Lin Ye stepped forward and moved the stone bodhisattva out of the stone house. Wei Yang was dumbfounded.

  Since he joined the laboratory, he has seen supernatural energy, and he is in awe of this aspect. Consultant Lin is a stranger, so logically, he changed his awe. How dare he touch the bodhisattva's stone body?

  Boom!

   Just when Wei Yang was confused, thunder suddenly came from the sky, which startled him a lot. When he looked up, he found that the originally blue sky was covered by dark clouds.

  Heavy rain, come as soon as you say it.

  Bean-like rain poured down from the sky, but it was not wet by the rain under the shelter of the stone house. Looking at the dense rain curtain outside the stone house, Wei Yang somewhat agreed with Consultant Lin's actions.

   Regardless of whether it is disrespectful or not, at least you don't need to get your clothes wet, and with the stone house to block the rain, you can enjoy the rainy scenery of the mountains and forests comfortably.

  Wei Yang looked back, but was a little stunned by this look. At this moment, Consultant Lin was sitting cross-legged in the place where the Bodhisattva had been before, with his eyes closed, his expression was somewhat similar to that of the stone Bodhisattva.

  This... is too disrespectful to Bodhisattva.

  Even if Consultant Lin is not a disciple of Buddhism and took the position of other Bodhisattvas, there is no need to sit in the position that other Bodhisattvas took before.

   Could it be that Consultant Lin has grievances with Buddhism?

   While Wei Yang was thinking wildly, the rain suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dispersed in an instant, and the sun appeared in the sky again.

  It was only five minutes before and after.

  Wei Yang was a little stunned. During these years in Helan Mountain, he certainly knew that the weather in the mountain often changed at will, but it was rare for a rain to disappear within five minutes.

The shower stopped abruptly, but there was the sound of drums not far away. Hearing the sound of drums, Wei Yang glanced at the direction of the foot of the mountain. When he saw a group of red men and horses there, he said to Lin Ye: "Consultant Lin, let's What a coincidence this time."

   "How to say?" Lin Ye asked curiously, he also saw the red team at the foot of the mountain.

"I actually met the prefect on patrol!" Wei Yang explained quickly: "Due to historical reasons, there have been many wars in Helan Mountain. Many soldiers and generals died in Helan Mountain. Not long ago, there was an official who died in battle in ancient times. The soul is awakened. This is the ancient prefect. After waking up, he did not go to the underworld to reincarnate. Instead, he followed the example of the ancient city **** and recruited a group of dead souls who also died in battle. He sealed an area as a jurisdiction, and every once in a while It will be patrolling this area with many dead souls."

   "Your laboratory doesn't care about this matter?"

  Lin Ye looked at Wei Yang, the laboratory just let this ghost prefect continue to develop his power?

"This ghost prefect was recorded in history during his lifetime. The local local chronicles recorded that this prefect once led soldiers to kill hundreds of enemies and protected the people in the frontier from being violated. The team leader had contact with this ghost prefect. The other party Make it clear that he will not walk out of Helan Mountain."

  Lin Ye understood what Wei Yang said.

  The ghost prefect was a national hero during his lifetime, and he promised not to go out of Helan Mountain. The laboratory chose to stand by and watch, thinking that one thing is worse than one thing.

This place already belongs to the depths of Helan Mountain, and there are no people living here. If the ghost prefect wants to indulge in the addiction of the city god, let him take it for granted. Even the appraisal office can't wait for the ghost prefect to expand his territory and recruit all the souls of the dead. Once under his command, there will be no dead souls running out of Helan Mountain to make trouble.

"In fact, it's not just this ghost prefect. There are many ghost forces, big and small, in Helan Mountain. There are just Shanyu and Khan. These ghost forces conquered each other and continued the war of the year. Our laboratory persuaded it several times. , but these ghosts don't listen, and it's not good for us to intervene in their battles, after all, we are all family now."

  Wei Yang smiled, but the smile was a little fake. Lin Ye probably didn't intervene because he was a family now, but I'm afraid that the Helan Mountain Appraisal Office also had the idea that these ghosts would fight each other and hurt each other.

"Consultant Lin, I just remembered that this stone statue of Bodhisattva may have been placed here by the ghost prefect. According to local chronicles, when this ghost prefect came here to take office, because the local aborigines were still immature and refused to obey the government's discipline, the ghost The prefect is to introduce Buddhism, build temples in the area under his jurisdiction, and then let the local aborigines gradually believe in Buddhism, and he claims to be a Buddhist protector. With this method, the people and the government are united. Besiege the city, stick to the city for three months, and finally the enemy can only retreat."

   "Oh, why is such a powerful person not recorded in the history books?"

Guarding the frontier like this, and guarding the city for more than three months, allowing the enemy to return without success, will generally be recorded in the history books. To put it bluntly, emperors of all dynasties hope that they can be praised by future generations after their death. As long as it is a good thing, it will be recorded by the historian.

  This matter is considered a plus for the emperor.

"I'm not sure about this. It may be because of the inconvenient transportation at that time. After all, this place is too far away from the center of the ancient dynasty. In addition, although the enemy army failed to break through the city at that time, they blocked the surrounding official roads. Not to go to the court, and it is also recorded in the local chronicles that the prefect died of illness within a few years."

  What Wei Yang explained was also the result inferred by their laboratory.

   "Consultant Lin, our appraisal office has dealt with this ghost prefect, and this ghost prefect will not embarrass us, but should we put the statue of Bodhisattva back first?"

  In Wei Yang's view, the ghost prefect is afraid of their appraisal, and under normal circumstances, he would not deal with people in the appraisal office. However, Consultant Lin moved away the stone statue of Bodhisattva, fearing that the ghost prefect would get mad because of it.

   "No, I'm a little curious about this ghost prefect."

  Lin Ye rejected Wei Yang's proposal, and the team at the foot of the mountain had already reached the mountainside while talking, and the first to arrive in front of Lin Ye and Wei Yang were the twelve ghost riders.

  Wearing worn-out armor, holding a spear, with cold eyes, staring at Lin Ye and Wei Yang.

   "We are from the laboratory!"

  Wei Yang immediately revealed his identity, and at the same time he was a little surprised. The last time he followed the team leader to see the ghost prefect, there were no ghost riders at that time. Now it has only been a year, and the ghost prefect's power has increased again.

The twelve ghost riders just stared at Lin Ye and Wei Yang with cold eyes, but did not make a move. Behind them, the sound of drum music came, and the twelve ghost riders lined up, but the positions they stood happened to separate the two. The stone house was surrounded, and no matter which direction Lin Ye and Wei Yang wanted to break out of, they would be stopped by a ghost rider.

  As the ghost rider stepped aside, several bands holding long flags, beating gongs and drums appeared.

  The band stood in place and lined up on both sides, and two teams of soldiers in good armor appeared with long knives on their waists.

   Behind it is a chariot.

  Four slender maidservants stood at the front and back of the chariot.

   Behind the chariot are still two teams of ghost riders, the number of which is no less than a hundred.

  This scene, even if the ancient prefect went on tour, is nothing more than that.

   "I am the prefect of Helan Mountain, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

  A majestic voice came from inside the chariot, and the twelve ghost riders even raised their spears, full of chilling intent for a moment.

   "Master Taishou, we are from the Helan Mountain Appraisal Institute. This time, we passed by here. I don't know if you are on a tour. Please forgive me if I offend you."

  Wei Yang opened his mouth to explain the reason, while lowering his posture. This is also the usual attitude of their laboratory towards He Lanshan, the leader of the ghost force.

   "A person from the appraisal office? Since you are a person from the appraisal office, you should know the agreement between the official and the appraisal office. Why do you want to move the Bodhisattva I enshrine!"

"this…"

Wei Yang didn't know how to answer. He looked at Lin Ye, but Lin Ye said indifferently, "It's just because it's raining, and it happens that this stone house can shelter from the rain, but the stone house is narrow, so we can only ask the Bodhisattva to make room. Even if the Bodhisattva has a compassionate heart, he will not blame him!"

"The Bodhisattva is merciful and will not blame you, but if you disrespect the Bodhisattva, how can I forgive you lightly? Considering that you two belong to the appraisal office, this official and your superior can be regarded as having some friendship. It is a small punishment and a big commandment. It is enough for people to kowtow to the statue of Bodhisattva and apologize."

   Hearing the words of the prefect ghost, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but kowtowing to the stone statue of the Bodhisattva to apologize was nothing, the prefect ghost really gave his team leader face.

   But when he saw Lin Ye's still smiling expression, his heart skipped a beat. He was fine, but he forgot that Consultant Lin might not accept this punishment.

  Consultant Lin dared to move the stone statue out of the stone house, obviously because he didn't like the Bodhisattva.

   "Consultant Lin, they have a lot of people..."

Wei Yang muttered something in a low voice, meaning to let Lin Ye be soft first, even if you are a stranger, you may not be afraid of the ghost prefect outside, but this is Helan Mountain after all, and you have seen the ghost prefect's men, so Too many ghost riders are not something two people can deal with.

   "Kowtow to the Bodhisattva, I'm afraid the Bodhisattva won't be able to bear it."

  Lin Ye said something meaningful, and then, without waiting for the prefect ghost to reply, he turned to the stone statue Bodhisattva, and bowed without kneeling.

   "How dare you accept my gift!"

   After bowing, Lin Ye suddenly yelled, and the stone Bodhisattva cracked, and the crack expanded rapidly, but within a few breaths, it shattered into more than a dozen pieces and fell to the ground.

   Wei Yang was dumbfounded.

What shocked Wei Yang even more was that the loud shout of Consultant Lin was not only the stone statue of the Bodhisattva shattered, but also the horses under the feet of those ghost riders seemed to have been frightened by something, and they raised their hooves to throw the ghost riders off their horses. Then it turned into a cloud of ghost fog and dissipated.

  Hundreds of ghost riders fell off their horses because they were ghosts and would not feel any pain, otherwise they would be crying in pain at this moment.

   But even if these ghost riders didn't howl, the majesty of the ghost prefect's patrol also dissipated.

   "You...you and who!"

  The voice of the ghost prefect came from the chariot, but this time Wei Yang could hear it. The voice of the ghost prefect was not as coercive as before, but full of panic.

   "Without the approval of the Dao of Heaven, without being pardoned by the Yin Division, you dare to call yourself the ghost prefect and follow the example of the Yin Division City God to go out on tour. How bold!"

  Lin Ye's tone was cold, the curtain of the chariot was lifted, and a middle-aged man in official uniform walked out. The man looked horrified, and when he saw Lin Ye, his body began to tremble.

   "Yin...Yin Division, the little Li Qian has met adults!"

  The middle-aged man got out of the car in a hurry, even because he was too flustered, he didn't step on his feet and fell off the car, but even so, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed the first time.

   Those soldiers and ghost riders looked at the middle-aged man blankly, obviously not understanding why the adults in their eyes would do things that only they would do in the past.

   "Li Qian? Isn't your name Chen Qian?"

  Wei Yang was first surprised. According to the investigation of their appraisal office, the name of this ghost prefect was Chen Qian, and he was the prefect of Helan Mountain during the Han Dynasty.

   "Then...that is the name of the adult whom the villain served before, and the villain stole the name of the adult..."

  Li Qian felt the aura of the underworld from Lin Ye, and knew that it was impossible to hide it from Lin Ye, so he chose to confess. Wei Yang was dumbfounded when he heard Li Qian's words, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Qian was the aide of Chen Qian, the prefect who was stationed in Helan Mountain in the Han Dynasty at that time. After Chen Qian died of illness, according to the instructions left by his master before his death, Li Qian, as a staff member, was buried in Helan Mountain with the body of his master. And he himself fell ill within a few years, so he even picked a cemetery near his adult's grave to bury himself.

Ten years ago, Li Qian's ghost suddenly woke up. At first, he was guarding the grave of his own family, but after a few years, he was fed up with this boring life. The most important thing is that he found that Helan Mountain buried the souls of many soldiers. Thinking of the majesty and prestige of his adult, he also moved his mind, entered his grave, and found the official uniform and official seal that his adult wore in his lifetime.

Then he pretended to be his own lord, and relied on some soul-calling techniques he had learned during his lifetime to recruit the souls of the soldiers of the great Han soldiers who were buried in the mountains. His soul-calling techniques only recruited remnant souls, and his mind was not sound. .

  However, these remnant souls still retain some of the consciousness they had during their lifetime. When they saw Li Qian's official uniform and official seal, they obeyed Li Qian's call.

   "I've only heard of impostors by living people, but I haven't heard that ghosts also have impostors." Wei Yang couldn't help muttering.

  Lin Ye listened to Wei Yang's words, but said with deep meaning: "Official uniforms and official seals are not so easy to replace."

  PS: On the first day of the first lunar month, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year, and wish everyone a happy Year of the Rabbit!
