I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

"Master Lu, please don't—"

The county guard, Luo Yangqiu, said with a horrified face, and then his expression became angry.

Even Ling Xiao, the owner of Fushun Restaurant, was so excited at the moment that he just wanted to rush forward and stop Lu Yuan.

When the people who were imprisoned in the dungeon nearby saw what Lu Yuan did, they became excited and shouted at Lu Yuan through the wooden fence. Some of them had ferocious expressions, like wild beasts, with saliva dripping from their mouths.

"Are these people crazy?"

Ning Xiaoyu didn't understand why this group of people suddenly lost their minds. It was just a statue, so why were they shouting so much? What she couldn't understand the most was that Ling Xiao knew that Lu Yuan was a distinguished guest, yet he dared to stop him. However, as soon as he got close to Lu Yuan, he was deflected by a layer of protective energy, and was immediately trapped by Lu Yuan's power. Unable to move on the spot, he just wanted to rush forward with all his teeth and claws.

"Xiao Yu'er, are you okay?" Xiao Xuewei asked concernedly.

"I'm fine, Master." Ning Xiaoyu looked at Lu Yuan again, "Master, what happened to them? Just when you destroyed the statue, their temperament suddenly changed."

"This Nether Cult Leader has some tricks. Spiritual magic can directly affect people's consciousness and soul..." Lu Yuan's vision was so broad that he immediately saw the essence of the statue and asked Xiao Xuewei: "Madam, Do all the people in Youzhou believe in this Netherworld Cult Leader?"

"Yes, husband. When I was the master of the Shura Hall, all my disciples believed in the Nether Cult. They were instilled in this concept by their parents from birth. Believing in the Nether Cult can ensure safety, avoid disasters, and obtain gods. Blessings. In the Youzhou area, this Netherworld leader is the spiritual sustenance and belief of the people."

Ning Xiaoyu asked: "Seventh Master, you used to live in Youzhou, so do you also believe in the Netherworld Cult Master?"

"Xiao Yu'er, after being promoted to Grand Master, he has enough strength. He will only disdain the legends of ghosts and gods, because Grand Master has the ability to pretend to be gods and ghosts. And when he reaches the realm of Grand Master, he is even more eager to break the shackles and advance to the land. We are in the realm of gods, so we don’t take these superstitions seriously. My husband said earlier, don’t kneel to heaven and earth, don’t kneel to ghosts and gods, that’s exactly what I meant.”

Xiao Xuewei said this, and then said affectionately: "My only faith now is my husband."

"Hehe, Master Wife is so gentle."

While the two were talking, Lu Yuan gently waved the sandalwood fan in his hand to both sides, and a warm glow spread to both sides with him as the core, covering the entire dungeon in an instant.

The next second, everyone woke up.

"I...what happened to me just now? In my mind, I actually had the idea of ​​doing something to Mr. Lu. Damn it." Shopkeeper Ling Xiao looked at his hands, his eyes full of confusion, and he couldn't figure out why he had just done this. Such a bold idea.

That Mr. Lu is a nobleman from Cangyun County. Not only is he extremely powerful, but he is also a member of His Majesty Jiang Linglong. He carries a jade token of identity presented by His Majesty. His identity is very important. But I just wanted to attack him. I am really looking for death. !

"Mr. Lu, Madam, I didn't mean to get angry. After you smashed the statue, I lost control of my emotions. To be honest, I just had an idea in my mind and ordered the soldiers to execute you on the spot." Sheriff Luo Yangqiu , hurriedly bowed down to Lu Yuan to apologize. "That's weird, what happened to us just now?"

"I have a strong idea in my heart to kill Mr. Lu."

"Me too, but just a moment ago, this thought suddenly disappeared again."

"It has something to do with the young master named Lu. Just now, a ball of light came out of his fan and enveloped us, and then everyone returned to normal."

The imprisoned people seemed to be having a daydream. In the dream, they smashed the statue of Lu Yuan, full of hatred and murderous thoughts. In an instant, they returned to their normal mental state. Not only were they refreshed, they also had a vague sense of freedom. This feeling was wonderful. , it’s hard to say, it’s like being reborn.

Although he didn't quite understand what happened, he knew that it was related to Lu Yuan, so he looked at Lu Yuan again, his eyes full of respect.

"In the past, I valued the Lord of the Netherworld too much. Every time I saw the statue, I couldn't help but kneel down and pray devoutly. It seemed that if I didn't do something wrong, I would have done something wrong, and I would still have nightmares at night. Now, I suddenly feel a kind of relief. a feeling of."

"Ah? It's okay if you didn't say it, but I remembered it as soon as I said it. My children have been possessed by demons recently. They kneel down once before going to bed, once at dawn, and once at noon. They are more pious than us parents. I had doubts, but I found that everyone’s children were the same, so I always thought it was normal.”

"Is there something wrong with the materials used to make the statue of the Nether Leader? Where did you buy the statue?" someone asked loudly, trying to find out the facts.

"In the past ten years, everyone has bought it from Shura Hall. Where else can they buy it? Who has the authority to make such a statue? Even people in the black market dare not imitate it, knowing that the statue of the Netherworld leader is Shura The people of Shura Palace will never let anyone secretly imitate the privileges of the Palace."

"This is indeed a fact. More than ten years ago, there was a sculpture gallery on East Street. The owner privately carved a black statue and placed it in his home for worship. For some reason, it was known to the people of Shura Hall the next day. That night, that The whole family was killed in the fire.”

"Let me tell you, the stone used to make the statue of Lord Netherworld is not a normal stone, but has been tampered with by people from the Shura Palace. I heard that there are some stones that contain special ingredients that can cause hallucinations. I'm afraid that the Shura Palace This is the method used to make money. Such a black statue often requires a family to spend almost all their savings to afford it."

"Yes, there is a problem with the stone statues sold by Shura Temple. Fortunately, we met Mr. Lu today. He made us wake up and realize the problem. Damn Shura Temple!"

The common people in the prison began to suspect that the statues bought from Shura Hall had been secretly added with hallucinogens, which caused everyone to become addicted.

"Mr. Lu, is it really a problem with the stone material?" Luo Yangqiu, the governor of Youzhou County, stared at the crushed stone fragments on the ground and was very afraid. As a parent officer, he knew exactly what this meant. If these stones contain hallucinogens or some kind of addictive poison, it means that the entire people of Youzhou have been deceived for twenty years, and all families have been harmed.

What worries him even more is that if it is just a psychotropic hallucinogen, then fine, it will only make people addicted, and at least it will not cause direct harm to people's health. If the medicinal ingredients in those stones were toxic, it would make one's head spin just thinking about how many families had been poisoned in the past twenty years.

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan, hoping to find the answer from his mouth. (End of chapter)
