When I was young, I was hungry and full every meal, but gradually I ended up with more food than I could eat, because there was no one to eat it.

I don't want to be like that. After decades, I have become an alien.

I ran here, thinking I was dead, only to find that they would not come near this place at all, not even the Shao family would come near the Shao family's ancestral hall."

The old man smiled sarcastically and helplessly.

Yu Ziqing was silent, not knowing what to say.

"Which city does this belong to?"

"Wuzi City."

Yu Ziqing was a little confused. Wuzi City, if he remembered correctly, should be a city under the jurisdiction of Dinghai City.

Wuzi City is approximately equal to a prefecture-level city, while Dinghai City is the capital of a county.

And Yu Ziqing happened to have the seal of the county guard of Wuzicheng in his hand.

"Does the magistrate of Wuzi City have nothing to do with the affairs here?"

"Be it the city emperor or the land emperor, they are all granted by the emperor, and the county guards cannot control them.

I heard that the county magistrate of Wuzi City has been vacant for decades, and no one has taken up the post.

A few years ago, I heard rumors that the then county magistrate was killed by the City Emperor's men.

Later, everyone here started eating incense, and I never heard of it again."

"So, the one who calls the shots here now is actually the City Emperor?"

"I am not sure……"

Yu Ziqing actually almost understood it.

From the city emperor to the land below, the mountain god, the river god, and if you add some subordinates to do things, this is a complete system.

Coupled with the people below, they have become a guy with no popularity at all.

Also, to enter here, you have to take a specific path. If this place is completely out of Dadui's control, then there is no problem.

Seeing the whole thing at a glance, Yu Ziqing probably understood in his heart what the biggest problem here was.

I almost understand why among the seals in the Book of Anshi, even at the end of the Ding Mao era, there is no disaster where the earth is sealed.

In the early days, lands were really useful and they were cautious enough when granting them. Just like Dali now, I have never heard of any land granted by the imperial court evolving into an evil god.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to seal it.

But in the end, it developed like this, and the positions of the emperor were still granted by the emperor. By the time they discovered the problem, they might be unable to remedy the situation.

I estimate that things may be more complicated, but the root cause is definitely related to the ground.

Moreover, the lands here seem to be a bit too strong.

A mere piece of land has six or seven levels of aura.

Be it in Dali or Daqian, the land is just a waste once it reaches the territory. A monk of one or two levels may be able to destroy the land.

Even if he condenses his golden body in the territory or in the temple, his strongest state is probably at the fourth level.

Its magical powers are basically taken from the people's incense and used locally.

It seems that he has great magical powers, but in fact, he can only regulate the wind and rain in the fiefdom and maintain the balance of the earth's atmosphere in the fiefdom. In the final analysis, he is a local public official with a special position, who can prevent problems before they occur and maintain the stability of the place.

The good thing is that the earth can only live for a long time and can benefit future generations.

But here, it's obviously different.

It was obviously out of control.

Yu Ziqing chatted with the old man in the ancestral hall for a long time, during which time he came to a collapsed wall of the ancestral hall and peeked out.

From a distance, I saw a guy wearing a gray official uniform, carrying a sign on his shoulder, flying over at low altitude with a group of people.

The man's eyes were round and angry, his eyebrows were turned upside down, his cheeks were sunken, he smelled of incense, and he carried a sign on his shoulder that read the word "Japanese Tour".

Wisps of light continued to spread, covering a distance of more than ten miles.

But when the man passed by the ancestral hall, Yu Ziqing saw the escaping halo. When he reached three feet in front of the ancestral hall, he slid away and the halo bypassed the ancestral hall.

Those people didn't seem to see the ancestral hall, they just flew past not far from the ancestral hall. Yu Ziqing stood behind half of the wall, and they turned a blind eye.

Yu Ziqing was slightly startled.

Wrong, it's not that those people didn't come here, it's not that those people let the old man go.

But they couldn't come to the ancestral hall at all, and they couldn't even see the ancestral hall.

"Old man, do you know those people?"

"The Riyouxuan under the command of the City Emperor is probably here to arrest you. In the past, these gentlemen would not come to such a small rural place."

"Do you know if there are any other ancestral halls besides this one?"

"Yes, there is a small ancestral hall next to the Shao family's ancestral home in the town. After the Shao family became prosperous, a new one was built here, and the old one was not demolished."

The old man pointed the direction to Yu Ziqing.

"Thank you."

"Young man, please go quickly. Get out of here quickly. Don't lose your life in vain."

"Aren't you leaving?"

"I can't leave, and I don't want to leave. I was born and raised here, and every grain of food I eat comes from here. I'm old and I don't want to die in a foreign country."

Yu Ziqing bowed his hand without forcing it. He waited until the sun was about to set and Riyouxuan led the people away before Yu Ziqing walked out of the ancestral hall.

He lit the incense and smoked the black robe until it was filled with the smell of incense before running towards the town.

At night again, the town, which had been quiet during the day, became lively and noisy again.

Yu Ziqing smelled strongly of incense and avoided the crowd. Even if someone saw him, he wouldn't care too much.

As soon as Yu Ziqing found the ancestral home of the Shao family, he saw the sun completely setting.

At the same time, a man in black robes and holding a black umbrella floated in from outside the town silently.

Under his umbrella hung a wind chime, tinkling, and behind him was a three-foot-tall child carrying a black wooden sign with the word "Night Watch" written in white letters on it.

The pale white light almost blends into the moonlight.

Wherever the night parade passed, within the area illuminated by the light, everyone saluted respectfully, and some people lit incense, took out tributes, and worshiped in the streets.

Ye Youxuan laughed a few times, lowered the height, and with a slight inhale, he saw that the tribute was rapidly dehydrated and decayed, turning into powder. Everything inside seemed to be slowly swallowed up by the incense.

Taking advantage of the night patrol to search for benefits, Yu Ziqing quietly came to the backyard of the Shao family's ancestral house. After climbing over the wall, he found the ancestral hall.

It's really small here, just a house, and it looks dilapidated for a long time.

The house next to the ancestral hall looks obviously different, at least it looks clean.

A lot of dust has accumulated in the ancestral hall, and some of the ancestral tablets have been eaten away by rats, which they used as teething sticks.

Yu Ziqing entered the ancestral hall and looked out through the missing window.

After a while, I saw a night parade flying by with people.

The cold radiance that swayed down, just as Yu Ziqing expected, the radiance bypassed the ancestral hall, turned a corner outside the small ancestral hall, and passed through the house next to it.

Under that light, the room next to it seemed to be transparent, and everything inside could be clearly seen.

When Ye Youxuan left, Yu Ziqing smiled.

This time, the judgment was completely verified.

Those people couldn't see the ancestral hall at all.

The fact that the power cannot extend to the ancestral hall only shows another thing. For them, this ancestral hall is not a space at all.

Yu Ziqing rummaged through his storage bag, pulled out a shovel, and walked out of the ancestral hall.

He used the place where the light could not shine as a boundary, shrank inward another foot, swung the shovel into an afterimage, and started digging.

As a physical practitioner, doing something like this, which I have been doing for so long, is so fast.

In just one stick of incense, the bottom of the ancestral hall was almost hollowed out.

After hollowing it out, Yu Ziqing used various materials to weld a bottom to the bottom, and reinforced the room with metal to ensure that the house would not collapse.

After completing all this, Yu Ziliang lifted up the ancestral hall with his hands and flew into the air.

"Brother, how about I do it..." Lou Huai couldn't hold back and finally spoke.

"It's okay, no need, this is a special magic weapon to ensure that no one will find me wandering around here.

Be careful in everything. Those people who came before, the ninth-level powerhouses, were all killed.

We also have to be careful, at least before we encounter other gadgets, we have to investigate what needs to be investigated, but we have to be careful when we act."

When Yu Ziqing came in, he brought the Wanhun Banner and Lou Huai.

Louhuai is used as a hunting dog, and the big ghost of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner cannot be released casually.
