Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 479 Yaksha's Words
The ancestral land of the Great Xia Dynasty, within the artificial sun.

Xia Wuyou observed the scene in the netherworld through the 'window' formed by the yin and yang energies in front of him.

If Chen Xin were here, he would be surprised to find that the buildings appearing in the 'window' are very densely packed!
This is completely inconsistent with his situation of wandering around for half a day before finding one!

There are even cases where two or three courtyards are connected together. If you raise the 'window' view a little higher, you can piece together a rough outline of the town through those scattered courtyards!

"Compared to these long-existing divine kingdoms, our Xia family still has a long way to go."

Xia Wuyou sighed inwardly.

He couldn't help but think of the sedan chair and the underworld figure that had appeared before him.

"If we can obtain that sedan chair and delve into the other divine kingdoms to learn more, then the progress of my Xia family in establishing a divine kingdom will definitely be greatly accelerated."

"Unfortunately, the underworld is not simple."

Suddenly, Xia Wuyou sensed the change in Yin and Yang energies behind him.

Turning around, a figure quickly appeared from the swirling yin and yang energies.

"Ancestor, there have been some developments in the underworld recently."

After bowing, Xia Chuanren said...

"Go ahead."

Since Xia Wuyou last met the Underworld Traveler and learned about his abilities, he has never underestimated the Underworld.

Therefore, Xia Chuanren was instructed to collect information related to the underworld, because only by knowing oneself and one's enemy can one win every battle.

Xia Wuyou, who has existed for two hundred years, is very patient in waiting.

At this moment, Xia Chuanren also began to recount the news from this period.

"Previously, a task to recruit Yakshas appeared in the underworld. The recruitment at the Three Mountains Garrison has been completed, and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town is still waiting to replenish its underworld officials."

"Just two days ago, the Yaksha of the underworld suddenly left the underworld and came to the mortal world for a tour."

"According to information later obtained from other underworld officials and divine beings, the underworld yakshas will patrol every three days in order to clean up the living environment of the underworld officials in the mortal world and to provide protection for the underworld officials and their families."

"This tour covered twelve cities and eliminated tens of thousands of evil spirits."

"There are a few points worth noting."

"Firstly, the Yaksha not only hunts down evil spirits, but also captures those who commit evil deeds encountered in the process."

"Secondly, the Yaksha can summon a special ability. By simply carrying a white banner and wandering between cities, he can effortlessly eliminate all the ghosts and monsters in a city. Although we don't know the upper limit of this ability, there should be a limit to its use, because during this tour, that white banner was only used in one city."

"Third, Yakshas do not only appear at night as their name suggests. In fact, they are cleaning up the ghosts of the last city when it is already bright at dawn. Many people have witnessed this, which has had a great impact."

"Finally, the Yaksha also used that palanquin for his journey!"

After listening to Xia Chuanren's words, Xia Wuyou pondered for a long time before asking:

"After the Yaksha captured humans from the mortal world, did he contact the local Bureau of Investigation?"

"No, that's the problem."

Xia Chuanren frowned.

"It seems that the underworld intends to intervene in the affairs of the mortal world. When the Bureau of Investigation first contacted the underworld, the underworld said that it would not intervene in the affairs of the mortal world. It seems that the underworld does not follow the rules as it appears on the surface."

"Although the Xia family's center is not in the mortal world, it is still the Great Xia of the Xia family. If the underworld wants to interfere, it will have to pay the price."

Seeing Xia Chuanren's displeased expression, Xia Wuyou smiled.

"If they really want to get involved, that would be great."

"Uh... Ancestor, what do you mean?"

Xia Wuyou turned to look at the ghostly scene in the 'window'.

"If the underworld truly intends to interfere in the mortal world, then let them interfere. However, as you said, the Great Xia is the Great Xia of my Xia family. If they want to interfere, fine! But shouldn't they show some sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuanren was stunned for a moment, then looked at Youming and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Ancestor, do you mean we should let the underworld exchange sedan chairs for him? Otherwise, should we intervene and stop it?"

Xia Wuyou nodded.

"I was thinking about how to get that sedan chair before, since apart from the initial period when the underworld lacked information, it has rarely traded with the Bureau of Investigation since then."

"Now that we know what they want to do and what they need, things will be easier."

"Let's not intervene in this matter for now. Let the people of the underworld continue to interfere. We'll only intervene when they get more involved."

"Of course, interference is just a pretense; the real intention is to make deals. Don't go too far."

"You handle this matter; I don't trust anyone else to do it."

Xia Chuanren nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, it's been exactly two days since the last Yaksha patrol, the next one is coming soon!"

Immediately, Xia Chuanren's figure disappeared from the spot.

Xia Wuyou looked at Youming with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with anticipation.

……

Mubei City, around midnight.

Today is the third day since Yasha left.

The polling bureaus of all the cities where the Yaksha had once appeared were mobilized, and Mokubei City was no exception.

Chen Xin was also assigned to a small team. His teammates and captain remained the same: Bai Bowen and Wei Junrui.

"long time no see!"

Bai Bowen looked at Chen Xin and said with a smile.

During this time, thanks to his father's past connections, he had been training near the Yinming Rift outside Mubei City.

This Yin-Yang Rift is different from the rift created later by the Divine Messenger Organization. This rift has been guarded by the Mubei Civil Investigation Bureau for many years, so they know very well what kind of ghosts and spirits might appear at that distance.

Training in such an environment can minimize the occurrence of accidents and achieve the best training results.

With the points his father left him after retiring due to injury, he was already running fast on Yangxiu Road!
He believed that those who joined the Bureau of Investigation at the same time as him in Mubei City, even some team leaders, might not have a higher level of physical exercise than him.

What he's missing now is an opportunity to apply to leave the rookie status early and officially join the Bureau of Polling.

At that time, he'll start as a senior team leader!
So after seeing Chen Xin this time, he no longer had much of a desire to compete with Chen Xin.

No matter how capable Chen Xin's uncle, who works at the Bureau of Investigation, is, he can't compare to his father, who is a top-level team leader. Not to mention, it's impossible for Chen Xin's uncle to give all the points to Chen Xin.

Even if Chen Xin is very talented, without enough resources, he will have to climb the ladder slowly.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chen Xin replied with a smile.

"Have you been working on missions with Captain Wei lately?"

Bai Bowen asked casually.

"No, the director gives me a lot of authority. Sometimes I can find some things to practice on my own, and sometimes I work in the information processing department."

"Oh, I see. That's good."

Bai Bowen didn't say anything more, nor did he flaunt his strength.

After all, Chen Xin was one of the people he could look up to among his peers. Although he was surpassed by Chen Xin due to his background, Chen Xin was still a talented person.

Maybe we can do something together in the future.

"You two, pay attention! If we encounter a demon from the underworld, remember not to shout, make any unnecessary movements, or provoke it!"

Wei Junrui looked at the two of them.

"As long as we don't do anything unnecessary, the Yakshas of the Underworld don't care whether we follow them or not."

"All we need to do is report the information, then follow along, observe, and record; nothing else. Understand?"

Chen Xin and Bai Bowen nodded.

Even though Bai Bowen had already condensed his Qi and Blood Furnace, he knew that the being he was facing this time was not something that a Qi and Blood Furnace could handle.

"Yeah, just so you know. Don't be nervous, there's a high chance you won't run into them."

Wei Junrui's casual remark is indeed true.

It's highly unlikely that such a large city like Mubei would appear right in front of them by sheer coincidence. Moreover, based on previous events, the probability of them appearing in the villa area in the north of the city is the highest, as that's where the most specialists are currently stationed.

What Wei Junrui didn't know was that when Chen Xin was on his team, probability no longer mattered.

Wei Junrui was driving when he suddenly slammed on the brakes as he turned a corner.

"Holy crap, how could I run into this?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Bowen turned his gaze forward, and his pupils immediately contracted.

He had heard of the Yaksha of the Underworld and the Yin-Yang Sedan Chair, but this was the first time he had faced these two beings directly.

Especially when he saw the twenty-four black spider legs emerging from the three sedan chairs, he involuntarily circulated his qi and blood to protect himself!
Even the phantom of the Qi and Blood Furnace appeared three-tenths of its original form.

Wei Junrui sensed something was wrong and turned to Bai Bowen, yelling, "Put it away!"

Bai Bowen woke up with a start and immediately took control of the qi and blood in his body.

He breathed a sigh of relief after his qi and blood energy had been contained.

Bai Bowen looked up, about to say something, but the words suddenly caught in his throat.

Cold sweat trickled down my forehead.

Bai Bowen stared blankly ahead, his eyes unwavering.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after more than ten seconds, when he caught a glimpse of the face pressed against the car door glass and it finally left.

In an instant, two long exhales were heard inside the car.

"have they gone?"

"We should go now."

"gone."

The first sentence was asked by Wei Junrui, the second sentence was answered by Bai Bowen, and the third sentence was said by Chen Xin after opening the car door.

Upon hearing this, Wei Junrui finally climbed out of the car.

After seeing the three large spiders disappear into the distance, he glared at Bai Bowen.

"What did you just say!"

Bai Bowen was embarrassed.

"I just broke through and couldn't control it."

"If you cause a conflict, I can't handle it. I can't afford to lose all the goodwill I have with your father!"

Seeing that Wei Junrui was getting angry, Bai Bowen remained silent, acknowledging that it was indeed Wei Junrui's fault.

Seeing this, Chen Xin changed the subject: "They're almost out of sight, Captain Wei, should we follow them?"

"with!"

Wei Junrui looked at the three spiders in the distance, and without even starting the car, he chased after them.

The reason we don't drive is because the Yaksha doesn't just choose to travel on main roads.

During the journey, Wei Junrui also reported the situation here.

"Stay close. Unless you find yourself in danger, don't interfere with anything suspicious. Leave it to them, understand?"

"understand!"

Bai Bowen replied.

Soon, the three saw one of the three Yakshas stop in front of a shop, while the other two did not stop at all.

The one who stayed didn't stay long either.

The three of them saw two of the eight spider legs pierce into the crack of the still-lit shop door.

The tips of its spider legs softened, and it squeezed through the crack in the door.

Soon, a woman's scream came from inside the shop.

In less than ten seconds, the two spider legs re-formed from the crack in the door.

However, when they returned, they made quite a commotion.

With a loud bang, a hole the size of a basketball was punched in the shop's roller shutter door.

At the tip of one of the spider's two legs, there was an extra black cocoon!

Before the three could continue observing, the black cocoon was moved to the Yaksha's back and stuck to it.

Just as the demon was about to leave again, a disheveled woman suddenly ran out of the shop room.

The woman looked in the direction the Yaksha had left, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

As the three of them passed by, they heard the woman's voice.

"Thank you, thank you, he's finally stopped bothering me, thank you, thank you Lord Yaksha!"

Wei Junrui, who was about to leave, stopped and walked up to the woman, asking, "How do you know they're called Yakshas?"

The woman was still in shock and kept bowing with her hands on the ground.

Wei Junrui reached out and channeled his vital energy into the woman's body.

The woman's body trembled, and she regained consciousness!
How do you know they're called Yakshas?

Wei Junrui frowned and asked again.

Logically speaking, although the existence of Yaksha has been widely publicized for a long time, the name 'Yaksha' is only known to those who know the truth.

How did a shop owner on this street know the name 'Yaksha'?

"I, I, just now, my ex-husband's ghost tried to kill me, and then I was tied up by those two black ropes."

"As I was leaving, I saw a line of words on the ground."

Wei Junrui got up and walked into the shop.

Soon, he saw the line of black writing on the floor inside the shop.

"When the Yaksha (demons) patrol, all evil spirits vanish."

Immediately, Wei Junrui was about to take a picture of the words with his phone.

But before he could even take out his phone, the line of text vanished right before his eyes!

After a moment of hesitation, Wei Junrui quickly left the shop, called out to the two of them, and chased after them into the distance.

As he left, Chen Xin glanced at the woman, a smile playing on his lips.

Soon, the three of them caught up with one of the yakshas again.

It's not that the Yaksha isn't fast, but rather that they always get delayed on the road because they're catching ghosts.

This gave the three of them an opportunity.

After that, whenever the Yaksha captured a ghost, Wei Junrui would rush into the place where that ghost had been.

As expected, that line of words was left at the location of each of the captured ghosts.

"When the Yaksha (demons) patrol, all evil spirits vanish."

"The Underworld, what are you trying to do?!"

Recalling the previous meeting, Wei Junrui felt a pang of anxiety.

He immediately shared his findings with the internal command group.

Following his action, the other agents who had arrived and were tracking Yaksha also checked the specific situation.

Without exception, they all had that line of text!
A small number of those who were saved were deeply grateful to Yaksha.

Even if you said you were building a temple for the Yaksha, they would probably still help with the bricklaying!

This information made Director Bai Hongtao take the matter seriously.

He immediately informed the General Administration of the situation.

To their surprise, the General Administration's response consisted of only one word.

【wait】!
