Chapter 396: Chapter 289: Does Someone Dare to Call Themselves the Heaven?

Facing his father-in-law’s doubts, Ding Zhijing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and whispered, "I don’t think so, thieves wouldn’t possibly share so much horse meat with the villagers."

"Father-in-law, if you had this much horse meat, would you want to share it out?"

Huang Youcai was stunned for a moment; he had never considered that question.

He might share some, but not that much.

"Even if their intentions aren’t malicious, with no victim and no evidence, how can we report them to the Government? Surely just because you say they are thieves doesn’t make them so."

"Compared to the Water Ghost Pirates, they’re practically angels."

Huang Youcai had no answer for that.

Overall, this group of people was quite friendly, polite, and dignified. In contrast, the Water Ghost Pirates were vicious and savage, their arrogant demeanor impossible to hide. The two were not on the same level.

Ding Zhijing continued, "After everything that’s happened, Qingshi Town has just settled down a bit... Father-in-law, according to your theory, they really could be from a major clan, having traveled thousands of miles to escape calamities from afar."

"The public order in the Mountain and Sea Realm worsens day by day. Since Qingshi Town is remote and has no special products, as long as the other party doesn’t openly rebel, the court will turn a blind eye and won’t intervene in this corner’s trivial matters."

Huang Youcai sighed; indeed, this was the case. Only when Qingshi Town had an epidemic that spread everywhere would the court step in, and even then, they would just seal off the city.

As for other matters, they really didn’t have the time to deal with them.

Ding Zhijing went on, "Father-in-law, the other party has people and wealth. Rashly opposing them might lead to a disaster of bloodshed."

"On the other hand, my brother-in-law seems to be doing quite well with them."

"How about this, either you sell your land at a lower price and retire in Fenghua City. Or I can give you a Sound Transmission Talisman. If there really is a big issue, you can transmit a message immediately. Don’t use it carelessly, it’s quite expensive."

Huang Youcai took the Sound Transmission Talisman, a yellow Talisman Paper with all kinds of symbols drawn on it, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Escape is out of the question. After so many years, I can’t bear to sell the land at a low price. Oh, right, there’s another matter."

He then recounted the incident of "Li Qingshan’s" Resurrection.

"Resurrection, huh..."

Ding Zhijing smiled and said, "I suspect you might be mistaken, father-in-law. It could be a trick, like having a twin as a decoy. Those major families often train people for suicide missions from a young age. Fooling all of you with one person’s death is cost-effective."

Old Master Huang murmured, "Twins as suicide soldiers... That, I had not considered. It turns out to be a trick; no wonder..."

"Even that dead witch was fooled. I’ve always said, there is no Cultivation Method in this world for resurrection."

Ding Zhijing said, "Father-in-law, you are mistaken there. There really are methods of Resurrection in this world."

"But naturally, it is exceedingly difficult... Only Gods from the Floating Mountain could do it, and they would need a fresh corpse... If it’s been blown to ashes, how can it be resurrected?"

Ding Zhijing raised a hand and pointed to the floating mountains.

Old Master Huang was inwardly shocked; he had never imagined that a Deity’s power could resurrect the dead!

Of course, having heard his son-in-law put it that way, he felt somewhat relieved.

"It must be multiple twins then, let’s not delve into this matter for now."

Ding Zhijing’s voice lowered again, "This Deity, do we know His name?"

Old Master Huang replied, "I don’t know. That Deity showed no sign of Divine Power, looking just like an ordinary stone weathered by wind and rain."

"But somehow, the more you observe it, the more the statue seems like a Heavenly God incarnate, possessing an indescribable charm. Though I’m no scholar, father-in-law, my eyes can see..."

He winked, his voice dropping lower: "Compared to that, the Great Witch is just like that... a turtle!"

Huang Youcai nervously tugged at his sleeve, agitated but not daring to speak ill of the "Great Witch."

It’s easier to encounter King Yan than mess with lesser demons.

The true Gods don’t bother with him, but the Great Witch... well, she can affect him directly.

"Ah, they are turtles after all... Even the Turtle Spirit Great Mother is just a bigger turtle. I suspect they all come from the same nest, all fond of eating seafood and not people," Ding Zhijing chuckled.

"How about we go worship?" Huang Youcai suggested, "I’m just afraid another Evil God will show up. You should go and take a look; it’ll be good for reference."

"Okay."

The two walked out of the room.

In the middle of the night, Qingshi Town remained lively. Butchers took advantage of the relatively fresh horse carcasses to dissect the meat all night long, with many people helping.

A faint smell of blood pervaded the town.

And the lights illuminating each kitchen were provided by the "Great Witch" and others, a kind of peculiar oil lamp.

The flames burned unusually bright, with the oil being consumed very slowly, as if the lamps would never extinguish.

Some people referred to it as the "Undying Lamp," saying it was lamp oil bestowed by the "Great Witch."

Everything seemed to be brought by the "Great Witch"...

However, the new temple on the eastern edge of the town was rather deserted.

Deities have their own majesty, and usually, people don’t dare to gossip in such places.

This new temple was originally the ancestral hall of a major family, the most luxurious and impressive house in the town.

"This was the old Zhang family’s residence. They sure had spirit, abandoning their ancestral home and fleeing ten years ago."

"I bought the house, turned it into a temple, and it’s a bit of a good deed."
