I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 385 Conditions (asking for monthly votes)

Yunzhou has a large territory and a dense population, and they have their own way of getting along with evil spirits and ghosts, so the death rate among the people is not as high as in other places in Xuan Dynasty.

Although each mountain tribe believes in a different ghost king, they all worship the Five Spirit Gods.

The people of Yunzhou are so devout to the Five Spirit Gods that they are willing to offer their lives and souls at any time.

Taking all factors into consideration, the Five Spirit Gods should be about the same strength as the Earth Ghosts. Due to population restrictions, the Five Spirit Gods have not reached the level of true ghosts and gods, but they are still stronger than ordinary sixth-level ghosts.

"What do you want to do?"

Qiao Ling looked at Sang Que worriedly. It was not easy to find the leader of the new generation of Jiuge, and Qiao Ling could not let Sang Que go into danger.

"Drive out wolves and chase away tigers." Sangque said softly.

Sang Que looked around and saw that the silver needles that Qiao Ling had inserted into the doors and windows were emitting wisps of white smoke, blocking out the outside air.

The level of Qiao Ling, the bell doctor, cannot be judged by Jiuyou's level. If he did not have powerful medical skills, Qiao Ling himself might be similar to those day-travelers of the Evil Suppression Bureau.

Just like when Sangque played the game, the nurse was fragile, but the nurse who could continuously recover blood was not that easy to kill.

The room was sealed by Qiao Ling, and Sang Que felt relieved and released Yin Tong.

As soon as Yin Tong came out, he looked around excitedly. When he saw the familiar stilt houses and decorations belonging to Yunzhou, a smile appeared on Yin Tong's face. He ran around the house. At this moment, he finally looked like a seven or eight-year-old child.

Yin Tong ran to the door and wanted to go out, but was forced back by the silver needles on the door. He looked at Sang Que aggrievedly.

Sang Que did not avoid Qiao Ling and said directly to Yin Tong, "You have always wanted to come back, but from what I know about you, you may have other purposes besides missing your hometown, right?"

Yin Tong's scarlet ghost eyes moved left and right, as if he knew that he could not deceive Sang Que, and that there would be no good end if he deceived Sang Que, so he could only nod sullenly.

Facing Sangque, Yin Tong raised his hand and pointed at Sangque, then at his own mouth, and finally at his heart, revealing a sly smile.

Qiao Ling was confused and had no idea what Yin Tong was trying to express. Sang Que opened her eyes slightly, and based on the connection between her and Yin Tong, she already understood Yin Tong's plan.

As she expected, Yin Tong would not do anything that was not beneficial, and Yin Tong did have other plans when he came back. For now, she and Yin Tong had the same goal.

If her soul is taken away by the earth ghost, the Yin child will die with her.

"You come back first."

Sang Que took Yin Tong back, turned around and grabbed Qiao Ling's wrist, "Sister Qiao, I need you to help me."

"what?"

Qiao Ling was bewildered as she listened to Sang Que quickly telling her plan in her ear. Words to dissuade Sang Que from doing so came to her lips several times, but she swallowed them back in the end because of Sang Que's determined look.

In the end, Qiao Ling was persuaded by Sang Que and felt that he could take the risk.

If successful, not only will the problem of underground ghosts be solved, but there may also be greater gains. However, it may cause considerable harm to the people of Yunzhou.

"…Don't worry, Sister Qiao, I will compensate them to the best of my ability!"

After thinking it over, Qiao Ling could only sigh heavily and nodded, indicating that she would help Sang Que.

After the two discussed the details, Qiao Ling pulled out the silver needles on the doors and windows and went to the corner of the room alone to prepare the medicine. Sang Que lifted the window a little, and a snake swam past the window, flicking its tongue.

Sangque sat by the window, and from here he could see a bonfire burning halfway up the mountain, and faintly hear the rhythmic sound of drums and low, mantra-like mumblings. These mumblings made the snakes around the village swim over there one after another, as if on a pilgrimage.

Sang Que has learned from Qiao Ling that it was a sacrificial ceremony held by Cheng Ge and the villagers in order to make the dragon snake return to the body of the dragon snake boy Xing Zhu.

In addition to the Five Spirits Saintess, Yunzhou also has five young boys, corresponding to the Five Poisons.

Nearing midnight, the noise on the mountainside stopped, and soon Cheng Ge returned with the recovered Xing Zhu.

Chengge's mother was once captured and taken to Tianliang City as a slave. She gave birth to Chengge with Xuan Chaoren. Chengge returned to Yunzhou when he was a child. Unfortunately, because he was a mixed-race, he was ostracized in the village. Only the old Gu Master Jiuge did not despise him and was willing to teach him Gu arts.

Xingzhu is Chengge's brother of the same clan, and they have a certain blood relationship. He was also raised by Chengge. Before being selected as the Dragon Snake Boy, Xingzhu admired Chengge's witchcraft very much, and followed Chengge all day long, like a little fanboy.

Later, Xingzhu was chosen as the Dragon Snake Boy, and his body became the shell of a dragon and snake. He still retained Xingzhu's memories and still liked to stay with Chengge.

Because Xingzhu represents the Dragon Snake Boy, and he is willing to get close to Chengge, Chengge has been lurking in Tianliang City for many years and has obtained a lot of information for Yunzhou. Finally, Chengge was accepted by the leaders of the major tribes in Yunzhou again and is expected to become the next leader of the Dragon Snake Tribe.

Cheng Ge was thinking all the way about how to negotiate with Sang Que about returning the Five Spirit Saintess. Before this, only the old Gu Master in Yunzhou could reach the sixth level of strength, and the leaders of other tribes were at most the fifth level.

If Sang Que resists, with Qiao Ling's help, Cheng Ge has no confidence in keeping Sang Que, so he can only discuss it in a friendly manner.

As soon as he entered the room, Cheng Ge glanced at Qiao Ling who was preparing the medicine, then turned to Sang Que. Before he could speak, Sang Que said, "I've been waiting for you all night. Sit down and talk about the Five Spirit Saintess."

Being overtaken by Sang Que made Cheng Ge feel uneasy and felt that the newcomer had bad intentions.

Chengge whispered to Xingzhu to let him go play aside by himself, then walked over to sit cross-legged opposite Sangque.

Sang Que said, "I promised you before that if you help stop the fight between Zuo Jinye and the ghost theater troupe leader, I will go back to Yunzhou with you. Now I am already in Yunzhou, so this promise is fulfilled."

All agreements made in the Gui Dynasty must be treated with caution, and this matter must be made clear first.

Chengge nodded, "You know what we want."

"I know. You want the Five Spirit Saint, but you don't want her to come back and continue to be a saint. Instead, you want to sacrifice her to the Five Spirit Gods, and then let the Five Spirit Gods choose a new living saint, right?"

Cheng Ge did not deny that ever since Yin Tong was abducted and tortured, the people of Yunzhou have been worshiping the Five Spirit Gods every year and praying to them to choose a new saint every year, but the Five Spirit Gods have never responded, which has also led to the power of Yunzhou's poison masters and ghost ladies being weakened year by year.

If not for this, Yunzhou would not have been defeated by the Xuan Dynasty over the years.

Sang Que continued, "I can return the Five Spirit Saintess, but I have a condition."

Cheng Ge looked up and stared at Sang Que. Just agree to return it. The conditions can be negotiated.

Sang Que sat up straight, his brows slightly moved, and a gloomy atmosphere immediately appeared in the room. A paper man in a theatrical costume slowly appeared behind Sang Que, making Xing Zhu beside him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

The paper-folding craftsman stood motionless behind Sang Que, and Cheng Ge looked at Sang Que in confusion.

Sang Que explained, "I was unwilling to return the Yin Tong at first because I have entered the ghost level, half human, half ghost. If the Yin Tong is separated from me, I will most likely die. But as you can see, I now control the second ghost. I can withstand the damage of separating the Yin Tong. My condition is that I want to personally sacrifice the Yin Tong to the Five Spirit Gods."

Chengge thought about it for a moment and understood Sangque's intention.

"Do you want to ask the Five Spirit Gods to help you deal with the Earth Ghost?"

"Yes, that's what it means!"
