Chapter 118: 91, 92. Peace in the North, fox spirits laugh at night (Great Chapter - Subscribe please)_4

Subsequently, Lady Zhushan took out a medicine and said, "Those who drink this, if they are Ghost Servants, will reveal their true form."

The Barbarian King was dubious but still picked a few people to try it, then he asked again about the Method of Soul Cultivation.

Lady Zhushan simply shook her head, saying nothing.

At that moment, a Barbarian carrying a big bone of a Demon Beast with salt and pepper walked in from outside, coming closer and closer. Lady Zhushan suddenly pointed and said, "He is a Ghost Servant."

No sooner had she spoken than the trigger of the hidden crossbow in the Barbarian’s hand was pulled.

A crossbow bolt "swooshed" out rapidly.

The arrow was fast, but the Barbarian King was faster, raising his hand and striking out with a fierce slap.

Bang!

In the air, a Phantom Shadow of a sharp claw appeared distinctly.

The Barbarian who attempted to assassinate Lady Zhushan was hit as if by an air cannon, smashed down with his chest caved in, blood and flesh mangled, and he flew backwards until he hit the ground, finally breaking apart into a shattered Ghost Servant.

The Great Barbarian King, both shocked and delighted, looked at Lady Zhushan and said, "Could it be that Soul Trainers can see who are Ghost Servants?"

The identification of Ghost Servants had troubled the Great Barbarian King for a long time.

Now having someone who could identify them at a glance, was he not overjoyed?

Lady Zhushan said, "Only I can see."

The Barbarian King excitedly said, "Then Madam might as well stay in my camp, my king..."

Suddenly he thought of the children he had left in the Prefectural City, and added, "It’s not that I’m forcing you to stay, but us Northern Barbarians really do need you."

Lady Zhushan thought for a long while, and the entire atmosphere in the tent became momentarily quiet.

After a long time, Lady Zhushan said, "If you want me to stay, then regarding matters of evil spirits, you must listen to me."

The Barbarian King joyfully replied, "Of course!"

Lady Zhushan said, "I do not know who concocted such sinister plots to sow discord, but since the king wants to keep me, you should know that our enemy is the evil spirits, not Dashang.

The schemes of sowing discord serve only to lead our Human Clan to slaughter each other.

So, I will state four matters first.

One, send some food to Six Towns."

Barbarian King: ???

Just as he was about to jump up and say "impossible," he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"

"Two, since Dashang has promised to station here and will send people to help you farm, then settle down here with peace of mind."

The Barbarian King said, "Done."

"Three, regarding those who concoct schemes of discord, I do not know who they are, but can I see them? If they harbor ill intentions, they should be executed immediately!"

The Barbarian King breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly explained the incident involving Ding Sigu.

As Lady Zhushan listened, all seemed normal, but suddenly hearing that "Ding Sigu" and "Song Cheng, Tong Jia" were actually from the same village, she couldn’t help but be stunned, feeling a multitude of emotions.

"What about the fourth item?" the Barbarian King asked.

Lady Zhushan said, "All bodies given a sky burial must now be cremated instead.

If a Ghost Tide comes, I fear all those given a sky burial will revive and become Ghost Servants.

But if the bodies are cremated, such disasters will not arise."

The Barbarian King was taken aback, and then flew into a rage.

Sky burial has always been the tradition; how could they burn the bodies?

This was simply...

He took several deep breaths, grumbled under his breath: "Is Madam trying to make the entire Northern Barbarians turn against me?"

Lady Zhushan sighed and said, "If not, disasters will arise."

The Great Barbarian King said, "Even if there are some Ghost Servants, my Barbarian Tribes can handle them."

Lady Zhushan said, "During a Ghost Tide, those who have recently died will also turn into Ghost Servants. Even if you can handle it, how many more will need to be sacrificed?"

The Great Barbarian King gritted his teeth, deliberated for a long while, then with a swing of his arm, he shouted, "Come, someone!"

Immediately, he instructed his men to hurriedly carry out the orders.

The two of them talked at length and settled various rules.

Lady Zhushan, in order to maintain the relationship between "Dashang and the Northern Barbarians," and prevent internal conflict and war within the Human Clan, willingly stayed in the Barbarian Lands for a long time, promoting interactions between the two tribes.

And she personally wrote a letter, commanding the disciple from Shanhe Martial Arts Hall who had accompanied her to carry it back, to attest to her intentions and let Hanping Prefecture understand her purpose.

...

...

Time flew by swiftly...

Suddenly, more than a month had passed.

The trade caravan heading to Six Towns had safely returned.

People from some remaining villages flocked to the nearest county to "avoid the winter."

And "Manifestation Water" was sent from the Prefectural City to various counties.

Originally, the strongest in these counties were "Force Realm Warriors," but now, the three major forces of Hanping Prefecture had sent out Elders, Internal Affairs Envoys, and External Affairs Envoys to each place, all stationed with powerful beings to ward off the potential Ghost Tide this year.

"Cleaning up the possible Ghost Servants in the county towns before the complete arrival of the Ghost Tide" became the urgent task that each county was frantically carrying out.

However, an issue arose: "Manifestation Water" could not be endlessly diluted.

So...the supply couldn’t meet the demand.

Officials from the Prefectural Yamen almost spent every day waiting outside Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple for new "Manifestation Water" to be produced.

As soon as it was available, it was immediately dispatched in all directions.

Madam Tong was extremely irritable with the workload...

This was a task only she could manage.

Because the formula for "Manifestation Water" was in her possession, and Lady Zhushan had also commanded that this formula could not be revealed.

At first, Madam Tong felt her teacher was being a bit unfair, after all... if more people knew this Dharma Method, then wouldn’t more people be able to produce "Manifestation Water"?

However, when she actually saw the formula and began production, she realized "It’s not that the teacher is unwilling to share, but sharing it wouldn’t just be unhelpful, it could also potentially expose the core secrets of Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple."

Why?

Because the most central item in this formula was—White Fur.

The teacher had left her a small box of cotton-like White Fur, which was the core resource for the production of "Medicinal Humans" and "Manifestation Water."

But once this White Fur was used up, that would be the end of it.
