Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 764 Let’s Build a Ghost Country

The ghost land of Huangquan.

The ghost fog rolled in, filled with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

The scholars who were still guarding the First City suddenly discovered that the Yellow Spring Ghost Land had become more terrifying than before.

It is also shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, making it difficult to see clearly.

"What happened in Huangquan Ghost Land?"

On the north city wall.

At this moment, there are many scholars standing there looking out.

Most of them are literary masters or scholars, and they dare not enter the ghost fog easily for fear of accidents.

"I don't know. Master Wu has already gone to investigate."

A scholar answered.

"It seems like there's an extra layer of something covering up the Yellow Springs Ghost Land, making it even harder to see clearly."

"indeed so."

"Could this be the work of the Qingshan City God's Mansion?"

"It's hard to say..."

And at this time.

Wu Mo and the great scholar came out of the rolling ghost fog and landed on the north city wall after a while.

The scholars on the city wall came forward to pay their respects and asked what had happened in the underworld.

Wu Mo did not hide anything and briefly explained it, then he passed the news of Ghost Gate back to Confucianism...

"So, the Yellow Spring Ghost Land has completely disappeared?"

On the city wall.

Many writers were excited.

"This is a good thing. We don't have to guard the Yellow Spring Ghost Land anymore." A young scholar said in surprise, "Think about it, how many scholars in my Zhou Tianxia died in the Yellow Spring Ghost Land every year? How much did my Zhou Tianxia pay to guard the Yellow Spring Ghost Land?"

"Too."

Many literati nodded.

Ever since the canonization of the saint subdued 100,000 evil spirits and cleared the evil ghosts in the netherworld, the Zhou Dynasty scholars who had been guarding the Wanli Changting seemed to have been liberated...

even though.

The underworld is now guarded by the Qingshan City God Mansion.

However, in the minds of the literati in the Zhou Dynasty, Fengsheng Fang was the greatest meritorious official, and Qingshan City God's Mansion just took advantage of the situation.

Although it is said that the Qingshan City God Mansion guards the underworld, does it have no selfish motives?
The Qingshan City God's Mansion might want to become the second Youdu...

wrong.

It is possible that he wants to become the second Ghost Emperor!

Therefore, when the Qingshan City God's Mansion had hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers guarding the underworld, many scholars in the Zhou Dynasty opposed it. Even if they acquiesced, they were very cautious in their hearts, lest the Qingshan City God become the second underworld capital, or the second ghost emperor...

But now.

The Yellow Springs ghost land disappeared, but a ghost gate appeared.

Although Wu Mo still didn't know much about the Ghost Gate, he understood in his heart that the Ghost Gate was the only gateway between the Yin and Yang worlds.

In other words.

The netherworld, which was once freely accessible, could no longer be entered from now on. The Ghost Gate might have sealed off the Yin and Yang worlds, making it impossible for the living in the Yang world to enter the netherworld...

This looks like.

Seems like a good thing.

Even if the Netherworld is attacked by evil spirits again, or even occupied by them, it seems that it will not affect the human world...

But is it true?
Why does my soul tremble so much when it sees the gates of hell?

Is it like seeing life and death?
Not long after Wu Mo delivered the letter, he couldn't resist his curiosity and went to the ghost land of Huangquan again to look for the Ghost Gate in the rolling ghost fog.

Or.

It is to find the entrance to the underworld.

After several hours, Wu Mo came out of the ghost fog in a lost state.

He did not find the gates of hell, nor the entrance to the underworld. It seemed that the underworld was indeed completely sealed off.

"Is this a good thing?"

Wu Mo asked as he walked.

When the letter was sent back to Confucianism, the founder and other great sages were also surprised.

The Lord of Righteousness also went to the Wanli Changting in person to check the disappearance of the Yellow Springs Ghost Land and the affairs of the Ghost Gate.

And at this time.

Feng Qingyan did not return to the underworld, but stood high in the sky above the Yellow Springs Ghost Land.

The man in white standing in front of the gate of hell was naturally him. He did not respond to Wu Mo and did not let Wu Mo see his face because he did not want to reveal his true identity for the time being.

The stone statues of sixteen evil spirits in front of the Ghost Gate.

Among them, eight evil ghost stone statues have already integrated a wisp of the soul of the eight taboos...

That is to say, the eight stone statues of evil spirits in front of the Ghost Gate are far beyond the great sage and are infinitely accepting the existence of the holy realm.

It can also be said to be a semi-saint level existence.

Now that there are eight taboos guarding the Gate of Hell, Feng Qingyan is not worried at all. Who can pass through the Gate of Hell?
The strongest man in the world, Sword Saint Chu Bai?
Not at all.

"Gate of Hell, Yellow Spring Road, Red Spider Lily, Naihe Bridge, Forgotten River, Nostalgia Ridge, Homesickness Platform, Sea of ​​Bitterness, Other Shore, Fengdu City, Resurrection Cliff, Gold and Silver Bridge..."

Feng Qingyan said softly.

The exclusive building of the underworld has been almost completed.

So now, what needs to be done?
Feng Qingyan thought about it seriously, then... establish a ghost country?

Although the exclusive buildings of the underworld are very special and contain special power and might, the most complicated thing is to build a ghost country...

This is, after all, the building of a nation.

Naturally, it is no longer something he can accomplish alone, so he needs a lot of talents to assist him.

Although he had already made preparations and planned to use Qingshan City God's Mansion to train talents needed by the underworld, his progress seemed a bit too fast, and Qingshan City God's Mansion could not keep up, and had not yet trained the talents needed by the underworld...

Moreover, in the underworld, there are many priesthoods that cannot be cultivated.

For example, the Ten Yamas.

For example, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demon.

For example, Black and White Impermanence.

For example, Meng Po...

and many more.

However, in order to complete the cycle of reincarnation.

He still needs to build a ghost kingdom and improve the underworld bit by bit...

Even if you want to establish a ghost country, you don't have to do it all at once. You can do it slowly and improve it step by step.

What is the most important thing in establishing a ghost country?
This is just like establishing a country in the human world.

It's not the same.

Because the most important thing for establishing a country in the underworld is household registration.

That is the household registration of ghosts.

Only ghosts with household registration in the underworld can be considered ghost people. This is also the biggest difference between ordinary ghosts and ghost people.

The household registration of the Yin people involves the laws of the underworld.

but.

He now has complete control over the underworld, and it is not difficult for it to open the household registration of the underworld people, so establishing a ghost country is still a matter of talent.

now.

Feng Qingyan's figure suddenly disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had already arrived in Qingshan Territory and entered the territory of Qingshan City God's Mansion.

There hasn't been much change in Qingshan City God's Mansion.

To say yes.

Perhaps it is because the Qingshan City God’s Mansion has become more formal and there are more ghosts.

Like a country.

"Is the old man here?"

A faint voice sounded in Tuyang's mind.

"The minister is here."

Tuyang was delighted and responded immediately.

Although he already knew that the Lord of the Mansion had returned to Zhou Tianxia, ​​he was still quite disappointed that the Lord of the Mansion had not returned to the City God's Mansion yet...

"Come to the palace."

Feng Qingyan said, and then waited for Tuyang in the City God Hall.

"promise."

Tu Yangdao, go to the City God Hall immediately.

Now Tuyang is the director of the Yin-Yang Department of Qingshan City God Mansion, in charge of all affairs of the City God Mansion. He is second only to Feng Qingyan.

Regardless of whether Feng Qingyan is there or not, it is basically Tuyang who is in charge of the City God's Mansion.

Feng Qingyan didn't ask at all.

Except for deification.

The Yin-Yang Department is the first of the twenty-four departments of the City God's Mansion. Therefore, the Yin-Yang Department Envoy is the first assistant official of the City God's Mansion, coordinating the various departments and supervising the cases before reporting to the City God.

in the past.

The left side of the Yin-Yang God's face is black, and the right side of his face is white (or red or gold), symbolizing that he judges Yin and Yang, distinguishes between good and evil, and does not compromise.

But now Tuyang does not have a black and white face.

A normal person.

"Greetings to Mr. Fu."

Tuyang arrived at the City God Hall and saw Feng Qingyan sitting in the main seat, and he quickly bowed.

"You are welcome, old man." Feng Qingyan stood up and waved his hand at Tu Yang, "Master, what is the situation in the mansion now?"

After Tuyang stood up, he talked about the affairs of the mansion in detail.

After listening to this, Feng Qingyan had a general understanding of the City God's Mansion, which was much better than he had imagined. After all, the underworld has not yet been established, and the reincarnation has not yet been perfected. The City God's Mansion cannot be able to exert its true power like in the previous life...

"Master, I want to build a ghost country."

Feng Qingyan pondered for a moment and said.

"Build a ghost country?"

Tuyang suddenly became excited, his body trembling slightly, and he seemed a little afraid to ask: "Master, are you really going to build a ghost country?"

Feng Qingyan nodded.

"it is good!"

Tuyang said excitedly, "I have been waiting for a long time. But I know that it is not easy to build a ghost country..."

“It’s not easy.”

Feng Qingyan nodded and said, "This is not just my business. After all, it's a matter for the whole country."

"Don't be anxious, Lord. You can take your time."

Tuyang Road.

"I know that the Ghost Country cannot be completed in one step." Feng Qingyan said with a smile, "So, I need the assistance of the old man."

"If you don't mind, I will help you establish your country until my death."

Tuyang bowed respectfully.

"Please stand up, old man."

Feng Qingyan came to Tuyang, helped him up, and said, "Then prepare some people and follow me to the Netherworld..."

"Who does the Lord need?"

Tuyang asked.

"I don't know. You decide for yourself." Feng Qingyan said, "By the way, now that you have gone to the Netherworld, I'm afraid the City God's Mansion won't be able to take charge of it. You should choose someone to take over temporarily. Although you can choose people from twenty departments, you still have to keep half of them, in case the City God's Mansion cannot function..."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will take care of it."

Tuyang Road.

"Well... then, report to the Yellow Springs Ghost Land at midnight ten days from now."

Feng Qingyan Road.

"Yes." Tuyang responded, and waited for three breaths. Seeing that the Lord of the Mansion did not speak again, he said, "Lord of the Mansion, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Don't be polite, Mr. Fu. Go and get busy."

Feng Qingyan Road.

Shortly after.

Feng Qingyan left the City God's Mansion and appeared in the underworld.

Tuyang thought for a while and asked the former prime minister Guan Fa to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the City God's Mansion.

but.

He did not tell anyone about the Lord's intention to establish a ghost country for the time being.

In less than three days, Tuyang immediately selected the personnel, assigned the affairs of each department, and hurried to the underworld with a group of Yin gods.

The Yin gods know how to go to the underworld.

However, I don’t know what it means to go to the underworld.

The commander-in-chief led 300,000 ghost soldiers to guard the underworld and build the capital city of Jianfeng. The Qingshan City God's Mansion already knew about it.

"That's strange, why are you in such a hurry to go to the Netherworld?"

A Yin God asked curiously.

He was an acting envoy, which meant that he had not been deified as a seventh-rank envoy, but he was exercising the power of an acting envoy.

In the Qingshan City God’s Palace.

Except for a few Yin Gods like Tuyang, who are Yin Gods of the seventh or eighth grade.

The other Yin Gods are all of the ninth rank.

"I don't know, but it must be a big deal."

There is a Dai Si Shi Dao.

After all, the handover had to be completed within three days, so it must be a big deal in such a hurry.

and also.

The old man took away a lot of evil spirits.

How many Yin Gods has the Lord of Qingshan City God Mansion sealed up now? But now he has brought 40 or 50 of them...

And land gods account for almost half.

The Yin Gods in the Qingshan City God Mansion are mainly the Land Gods. The Yin Gods in the Twenty-Four Departments are basically promoted from the Land Gods...

"It's possible that something big happened in the Netherworld."

There is land god way.

"maybe."

“Although there is a possibility that something serious will happen, it is not necessarily a bad thing.”

"If it's a bad thing, what use can we, with just a few of us, be? After all, the commander-in-chief leads three or four hundred thousand ghost soldiers..."

Amid the discussions among the Yin Gods, they arrived at the Far North a few days later.

Tuyang did not enter the Yellow Springs Ghost Land through the First City.

Instead, he passed through the now abandoned Changting and entered the ghost land of Huangquan to avoid contact with the literati in the Zhou world.

However, he was still discovered by Wu Mo.

But Wu Mo did not make a sound. Instead, he followed quietly behind and saw what Qingshan City God's Mansion was doing.

Is the Ghost Gate related to the Qingshan City God?

"Hey, why has this Yellow Spring Ghost Land become different?"

A land god was surprised and said that he always felt that there was something covering the ghost fog, making it impossible to see clearly. It looked very mysterious.

"Well, it's definitely different."

“It seems to be isolated.”

The Yin gods were extremely curious and looked at the ghost fog with confusion.

Tuyang did not stop and led the Yin gods to look for the entrance to the underworld. However, after searching for a while, he could not find the entrance to the underworld and was stunned.

"Master, why is the Yellow Spring Ghost Land gone?"

"Yes, how come it disappeared?"

All the Yin gods were extremely shocked.

Although they already knew that the Yellow Spring Ghost Land had shrunk, some of them still entered the Netherworld from time to time. The City God's Mansion and the Netherworld often had exchanges, but they had less exchanges recently, so they didn't know about the Ghost Gate.

At this time, Tuyang frowned and looked around in confusion.

Wu Mo, who had been following quietly behind, discovered that he could not find the Ghost Gate in Qingshan City God's Mansion, nor the entrance to the underworld.

Seems a little confused.

There were also some surprises.

Could it be that the Qingshan City God’s Mansion doesn’t know about the Ghost Gate?

"Master, what's going on? Why is there no Yellow Spring Ghost Land? Doesn't this mean that we have entered the Netherworld again?"

A land god said anxiously.

"Without the Yellow Spring Ghost Land, the commander-in-chief and his men will not be able to get out?"

"How could this be?"

"What on earth happened? Why did the Yellow Spring Ghost Land disappear?"

The Yin God was stunned, and also a little anxious and worried.

At this moment, they all dispersed to search.

Tuyang did not move. He suddenly understood what the Lord of the Mansion said. No wonder the Lord of the Mansion mentioned reporting to the Yellow Springs Ghost Land.

Not the underworld, nor the Fengdu City.

However, he did not call out to the Yin Gods to see if they could find the entrance.

"It's not midnight yet..."

Tuyang Road.

In fact, they arrived a day early.

In other words, they would have to wait until tomorrow night, at midnight, to enter the netherworld. However, he was also somewhat curious, could the disappearance of the Yellow Spring Ghost Land be related to the Lord of the Mansion?
Two hours later.

All the Yin Gods came back one after another, and they all said helplessly: "Master, we haven't found the entrance to the Netherworld, and the Yellow Spring Ghost Land has completely disappeared.
