The locust tree spirit summoning souls brought all the deceased spirits within a hundred li.
Looking at the room full of various ghosts, Jiang Wen couldn't help but feel a headache. Although he asked the locust tree spirit to summon souls, he didn't expect her to even summon the souls of animals and insects.
It was a scene of utter chaos, giving everyone a headache.
In the end, he screened out a portion, leaving behind the ghosts of those who died in Su City, as well as the souls of those wild foxes.
After questioning, he obtained a lot of information.
It turned out that the wild foxes in the Fox Den were all brought in by the demon fox Qing, in order to collect nearby Yin spirits for cultivation purposes. As for other matters, the wild foxes didn't know much.
And those who died were even more ignorant. They didn't even know how they died, only that they fainted after seeing a fox face.
"Can we still live?" A woman in a green shirt said weakly, her beauty even as a ghost arousing pity.
Jiang Wen asked about her identity and learned that she was from Wancheng, Yangzhou. She was abducted to Su City as a child and sold to a brothel as a 'thin horse.' She was waiting to be sold, but unexpectedly, she was killed by a fox demon.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Wen was quite happy and entrusted the affairs around Su City to her.
"Thank you, Immortal," the woman in the green shirt said gratefully. "My name is Bi Yue, with the single surname Ru. My childhood name was Yue'er, and my parents were members of the Ru family. I still remember that my home was near the West Ming Lake in Wancheng, where you could see a broken bridge from afar."
"Yes," Ziyun nodded.
"Dead, it's good, it's good," the woman in the green shirt said softly, lowering her eyes. "Dead, it's a relief. Living is just more suffering."
The group discussed the matter and then dispersed.
"Okay, if I go to Wancheng, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish," Jiang Wen promised.
"I can see clearly within fifty li," Ziyun said without any emotion.
"Human life is precious, but it's better to move on. For them, it's a relief," Yan Gongli comforted softly.
"Then it's a pity," Jiang Wen said regretfully.
"I'm a little tired, call me if you need anything."
"It's a pity that I don't have the ability to be everywhere," Jiang Wen said with a wry smile. If he were to fulfill these thousands of wishes one by one, he didn't know how long it would take. However, since he had promised, he would definitely do it.
Li Yunshang expressed her agreement upon hearing this, as she deeply understood.
"I was abducted to Su City and haven't returned home for more than ten years. If the Immortal can go to Wancheng, could you please visit my parents… see if they are still well? If so, I would be extremely grateful."
Jiang Wen listened carefully and recorded everyone's wishes. After the last person left, he took a deep breath.
"It's still warm, just like a real person!" Li Yunshang exclaimed.
"Tell me," Jiang Wen nodded.
"They are me, there is no difference," Ziyun said calmly.
"Can you sense their feelings?"
"No, they are just mindless trees," Ziyun shook her head.
"However, I can observe the surrounding environment through them, and I can also see some things," Ziyun added.
Just as he was thinking, Ziyun's voice came from his ear: "I can help you."
"I have received your wish and will definitely help you fulfill it," Jiang Wen nodded, watching the woman in the green shirt slowly turn into fireflies.
As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Jiang Wen: "But can I trouble the Immortal with one thing?"
The next day, a rumor suddenly spread in Su City. It was said that if one sincerely prayed to the locust tree, one could encounter a deceased person entrusting the locust immortal to explain their last wishes.
"I really don't know how to repay the Immortal, so I only have this thing to offer before parting…" After the woman in the green shirt finished speaking, she disappeared from the room, leaving behind a crystal-clear pink pearl that slowly fell into Jiang Wen's hand.
He wrote down everyone's wishes on paper, stacking up a thick layer. Although they were all trivial matters, such as feeding the cows, seeing a doctor, or taking care of the children and wife, they were more important than life to these wronged souls.
"Naturally. She is a thousand-year-old locust tree spirit, even a Dao Palace True Person would find it difficult to find her. If she hadn't been schemed against, even my master wouldn't be able to find her," Yan Gongli said leisurely. "Sometimes, even the deepest cultivation is not as deep as the human heart."
"You can help me?" Jiang Wen asked doubtfully.
Jiang Wen couldn't help but clap his hands when he heard this, praising repeatedly: "This divine power is really good, great! Ziyun, you have helped a lot! I wonder how far you can see?"
Jiang Wen heard the voice and looked towards her, seeing Ziyun's purple eyes looking at him, and then continued: "I can help you complete these things for them."
Li Yunshang was extremely surprised to see this situation and reached out to poke the little Ziyun's cheek.
"…I forgot that you still have this ability," Jiang Wen said with a dumb smile, watching Ziyun split into countless little Ziyuns. Each one was expressionless, exactly the same as Ziyun herself.
"Good!" Jiang Wen asked Ziyun to observe the situation in Su City, and to tell them if there was anything strange.
Some people dug up the inheritance left by their father, and some people found lost items.
In short, for a time, the people in Su City began to believe in the Locust Immortal. They even built a temple under the locust tree and enshrined the Locust Immortal within it.
Jiang Wen couldn't help but laugh and cry after learning about this news. He even vaguely discovered a phantom of Ziyun in his divine sense.
