Chapter 373: Inexplicable shock, one shrine was destroyed
Dark clouds covered the sky. At this moment, sparse sunlight shone through the clouds to the earth. Ye Li and Zhe Ping were brought to an empty house by the village chief.
Looking at the relatively intact house in front of him, Ye Li took a step inside without much pretense. This action softened the serious expression of the village chief, and he was obviously quite satisfied with it.
Zheping didn't say anything. There were more or less some bad guys among the merchants of Kande Fengxing and the International Chamber of Commerce. It was inevitable that some villages would encounter unscrupulous businessmen. It was rare to find such honest businessmen as Mr. Ye Li.
Ye Li didn't know what Zhe Ping was thinking. If he knew what he was thinking, he would definitely find a suitable opportunity to show him what self-cultivation of a profiteer was. After all, he had discussed the merits of doing business with a girl who looked like a profiteer but was not that bad in reality.
"It seems that you are very satisfied with this room. I wonder what your name is and the name of this young man. I can send someone to look for you when I leave the island."
"My name is Ye Li, this is Zhe Ping. I wonder what goods the village chief needs. I can arrange for them to be collected after I arrive at the island, and then I can have someone come to pick them up or deliver them to your door myself."
"Mr. Ye Li, you are too polite. No matter what, we cannot trouble you to come all the way here. After all, this is the front line of the battlefield. It is a kind of luck that you and Brother Zheping can arrive here safely. This is also one of the reasons why I am willing to let you in."
Listening to what the burly village chief in front of him said, Ye Li saw some clues from the other party's indifferent expression. Combining it with the information he knew, he also figured out what the other party meant.
This was because he didn't want them to repay him with any kindness. It was obvious that he wanted to distance himself from them and turn the friendship into a fair deal, that is, to make the impression neither good nor bad, so that Ye Li wouldn't spend more time on them.
He is really scheming. With just a few words, he has created the impression of a passerby who is neither good nor bad. He is indeed the guy who was driven crazy by the evil spirit and looked for people, even his own villagers, to be sacrificed alive. He is quite difficult to deal with and it takes a lot of effort to fool him.
"Since the village chief has said so, please tell me the names of the materials you need, and Teppei will record them in the book."
After Ye Li finished speaking, Zhe Ping, who had just packed up his things and put them in the house, also listened to the conversation between the two and took out a booklet from his bag. It seemed that he was very well prepared.
Looking at the booklet in Zheping's hand, the village chief was a little surprised, but he nodded as a matter of course. As a businessman, it is normal to carry a booklet recording bills or goods information.
After Zheping finished recording the supplies needed by the village chief, Ye Li stood up and asked the village chief about the current situation in the area. The information he obtained was not much different from what he had guessed. The environment in which the two armies were fighting was also in a peaceful period, but there was also some unexpected news.
After listening to the village chief's comments on the resistance army and the shogunate army, Teppei felt somewhat helpless. At the same time, as a bystander, he also caught some clues about some voices or undercover agents within the resistance army.
Looking at the leaflets of the two armies that the village chief sent someone to bring after he left, Ye Li looked at Zhe Ping who was sighing beside him and said:
"It is normal for an army composed of displaced people from all over the place to have different ideas. It is also reasonable to have some undercover agents mixed in. Although the general who can lead them is not as competent as Wu Lang, he is also brave and resourceful."
"But the thorns inside are still there, Mr. Ye Li, tell me, is there any way to find them out?"
"My dear friend Zheping, you are upset. Clear your mind and calm down. Take a deep breath and think carefully. Under the current circumstances, what methods will they use to disrupt the peaceful situation between the two armies?"
Ye Li's words calmed Zheping down. At the same time, he was recalling the events of the past few days, trying to sort out his thoughts. Then he instantly thought of the Yuying Furnace Heart that Ye Li had mentioned.
The rebels had once sent people to destroy that thing in order to disrupt the shogunate's military production, but they failed. If someone were to take advantage of the calm period to persuade some people to go to Tadashi Sand... But that wouldn't be right. The two armies were stationed too far away from each other and there wasn't enough time.
Zheping fell into deep thought and entered a thinking state. Ye Li did not disturb him, but went out of the house and talked with the villagers of Feimu Village, especially a trainee doctor named Baoben. Ye Li tested him a few questions, but he could not answer many of them and his basic knowledge was very average.
Ye Li thought it might be because of the environment here, and since Bao Ben's master was still out looking for medicine, there wasn't much he could teach him. He just gave Bao Ben some pointers on his medical skills, and under his surprised gaze, he waved his hand and explained:
"After all, I am a businessman, living in the open air. Every time I purchase goods or queue up, there are dangers. It is normal for me to learn some medical skills to prevent accidents."
This sentence silenced Baoben. At the same time, night had fallen and many people in the village lit up night lights and started preparing dinner.
Ye Li and Zhe Ping were not so particular. They just took the dried fish and ate it directly, since the bones and other things had been cleaned away anyway.
Seeing how "down and out" the two were, other villagers were kind enough to bring them some fried vegetables, and before they knew it, they all started chatting.
Just as everyone was chatting happily at night, there was a sudden earthquake. A villager who had gone out hunting early rushed in from the village gate and shouted nervously:
"Oh no! The shrine that sealed the evil spirit nearby has been destroyed."
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers were shocked. They did not even have time to eat and followed the villagers to the mountain. Ye Li and Zhe Ping, two outsiders, also followed the crowd.
On the way, Ye Li had already noticed the route that some people were taking to go down the mountain, and immediately said to Zhe Ping next to him:
"There must be something fishy about the destruction of the shrine. Maybe someone took advantage of the chaos to go down the mountain. Zheping, take a detour to the right. You may be able to catch the culprit. Don't fight even if you can't defeat him. Find out his identity and come back immediately."
"Got it, Mr. Ye Li, I will be careful."
After the two men finished talking, they split into two groups under the cover of the crowd, one to find out the situation and the other to observe the identity of the person behind the scenes.
When everyone reached the shrine halfway up the mountain, they saw a purple light rising into the sky. The dense karma seemed to spread across the entire island and turned into a gust of strong wind flying in all directions.
Ye Li focused his eyes and stepped forward. A golden outline array appeared under the shrine, locking up the spreading karma, the so-called evil spirit.
The heavy golden elemental force flashed with light, and combined with the original power of the shrine, it temporarily sealed the power of the remaining demon god. This scene also made all the villagers who came here unable to recover for a long time.
Ye Li felt the immortal power remaining on the talisman paper. The energy consumed was less than one ten-thousandth. After all, his ability to draw arrays out of thin air had already reached perfection.
