Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 194 Soul-Searching Compass
As Li Xuan was about to leave, the ghost messenger Qing was very enthusiastic in helping to clean up all the fingerprints and traces. It didn't want the police in the mortal world to cause Li Xuan any trouble because of a charlatan who insulted female believers in the name of the gods.

Standing on the street, Li Xuan asked Qing to see Lin Sitong off.

Qing came and went quickly, seemingly assuming the role of a lackey, his pale face filled with a smile.

He said, "Mr. Li, what are we going to do next?"

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised by Qing Zheng's change in attitude. Even if he knew that Qing Zheng was a judge in Fengdu, there was no need for him to act this way. The law cannot be changed by flattery.

Cars come and go.

Pedestrians were in a hurry.

Li Xuan recalled the Black Brother who was a killing machine in the movie and said, "I heard that a demon named Black Brother recently escaped from the underworld, and he has a daughter with him. Do you know about this?"

Qingzheng nodded and said, "That's right. Ghosts with particularly bad personalities are usually locked up in the underworld 'prison' by us ghost messengers. Who knew he was so strong that he actually killed a ghost messenger and escaped."

I heard that these past few days they've been devouring wandering ghosts and spirits, then running off to the mortal realm to seek revenge on some enemy from their past life.

I know that guy, known as Wang Heizi. He has a daughter named Heiting and a wife named Zhang Yi. The day he was imprisoned, it took three ghost messengers of my rank to take him down..."

Li Xuan looked at Qing Zheng in surprise: "Three ghost messengers. I've seen evil ghosts in the underworld; they were killed with a single blow, almost without resistance. You guys..."

Qing Zheng said with a wry smile, "There are differences between evil spirits. Evil spirits that are allowed to roam freely in the underworld are domineering, but I can handle them with just one ghost messenger. But evil spirits like Brother Hei require three of them! The main reason for locking it up is to prevent other ghost messengers from encountering it when they are alone."

Li Xuan understood and said, "Could you help me find the location of this Blackie? He's done a lot of evil and we need to subdue him."

Qing Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, wouldn't it be a bit risky for just the two of us? How about I gather my colleagues and we take action together when the time comes the day after tomorrow?"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Wouldn't that mean many more people would die? I need to..."

Having no other choice, Qing Zheng pulled out a compass-like object from his pocket, moved his index finger around it, and said, "Find the evil ghost, Brother Hei!"

The compass begins to rotate automatically, the pointer hovers, and finally points to a direction.

Li Xuan's eyes lit up immediately.

This thing is great. No need to set up an altar. It's just like a smart assistant. You can find your target by simply saying a sentence.

He hesitated about how to ask Qingzheng for something without any explanation. It was really inappropriate, and to avoid being accused of soliciting bribes, he couldn't do anything for him even if he received the things.

It would be best to exchange something for it.

As Qing was holding the compass, a sudden inspiration struck him. He saw Li Xuan's gaze fall on the compass and immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Li is a truly capable person. I have nothing to offer as a gift for our first meeting, so how about I give you the 'Soul-Searching Compass' that every ghost messenger carries?"

Li Xuan was stunned. Did this ghost messenger have mind-reading abilities, or was his face simply covered in the word "greed"?

He did want it, but not in this way.

Think again and again.

He patted the crimson gourd, picked out several Taoist scriptures, and chose one from it: a Yin Soul Cultivation Manual of the Dongyue lineage. This was a cultivation method that could only be practiced after death, and it was also a fundamental method of the underworld. "This is the Yin Soul Cultivation Method of the Fengdu lineage. It can absorb the spiritual energy and yin energy of heaven and earth to strengthen one's primordial spirit and soul. When cultivated to a deeper level, it can have many wonderful uses. However, this method belongs to the Dongyue lineage. If you commit sins after practicing it, you will surely be punished! Now, I bestow this manual upon you as a greeting gift, and I also hope that you can uphold righteousness and goodness, and be a good ghost messenger!"

The booklet was small, but it felt quite heavy in Qingzheng's hands.

He was somewhat afraid of punishment, but even more afraid of not surviving. The underworld was too chaotic; far too many ghost messengers had met with misfortune...

Qing Zheng placed the compass in Li Xuan's hands, held the booklet in both hands, knelt on the ground and said loudly, "I, Qing Zheng, a demon-level ghost messenger, am willing to offer my life to serve Mr. Li Xuan wholeheartedly for all eternity!"

loyalty!

It must be expressed!
This booklet is extremely valuable for one reason: in this era, only those born with the ability to see spirits or possess spiritual power can use magic. Cultivation can only gradually strengthen spiritual power, with negligible results! If a living person possesses a cultivation booklet but lacks the innate ability, cultivation will be a waste of time. Therefore, ordinary people don't spend their time on cultivation…

After death, a person becomes a ghost and can absorb yin energy to strengthen themselves, but that is a gradual process that takes time and effort. Some methods can be used once the yin energy has accumulated to a certain level.

For example, the earliest ghosts could only float around and pass through walls, while powerful ghosts could actively appear in front of the living and even control objects remotely, such as turning the television on and off.

Even more powerful ghosts can possess and forcibly control the behavior of the living, making them live or die at will.

Ghosts belong to the Yin realm and can absorb Yin energy! They are considered "living beings born with spiritual power in the mortal world," but while they possess "spiritual power," they lack cultivation manuals. Qing Zheng suspects that cultivation manuals for ghosts might exist, but they are all controlled by the higher-ups in the underworld, and someone like him, a mere cannon fodder, has no right to see them...

Therefore, the booklet that Li Xuan gave us can be said to be the path to the pinnacle of ghostly life!
If Qingzheng didn't pledge his loyalty, he would feel like a complete beast.

Li Xuan also realized that this common cultivation technique seemed to be very precious, so he added restrictions, forbidding him from spreading it indiscriminately, and subjecting it to the supervision of any deities related to the Dongyue lineage.

He looked at the compass in his hand and said, "Let me introduce this compass."

Qingzheng said, "This compass is a special product of ghost messengers. As long as one of the six ghost kings of the underworld recognizes the identity of a ghost messenger, the underworld will automatically condense a 'soul-collecting compass'. It has only one function, but it is very powerful. As long as you know the name and detailed appearance of the target, and the distance is no more than fifty kilometers, you can accurately search for its location."

However, if the opponent is far more powerful than the user, such as the difference between me and the Ghost King, then it's impossible to search for them. Also, if the opponent has special concealment methods, it will be impossible to detect them.

Li Xuan understood; in a sense, this was the accompanying magical artifact of the ghost messenger.

He asked, "What will you do if I take it?"

Qingzheng said, "It's alright. A ghost messenger can only condense one of these in his lifetime, but the compass will not disappear for other ghost messengers who die. I will apply for another one from the Six Ministries."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Xuan glanced at his phone; it was still early. He then looked at the compass, the needle pointing southwest, with even a distance indicator: "Let's go, let's meet this evil ghost called Blackie."

……

Inside the Hui-shaped building.

Grandma Wenmi looked at Acong with a serious expression and said, "How could I lie to you? The ghost messenger really was taken away by that young man, like a little chick. What happened during those three minutes of possession is still a complete blank to me. Wait a bit. The ghost messenger said he'll come back after he finishes his business with that young man. If you need anything then, I'll call you."
