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

Chapter 64 Merits of Establishing the Bureau
Many people came to watch the ceremony, including senior figures from various fields of Taiwanese folk culture and religious beliefs, Huang Huotu's colleagues, and Cai Qingfang's friends.

With Li Xuan's shout!

Everyone instinctively took a step back, a strange tremor stirring deep within their souls.

The statue, originally made of cement and paint, is unremarkable one second, but becomes "lifelike" the next. In particular, the pupils in the eyes of the main deity Bao Zheng make people feel that he is looking at them no matter which direction they stand in.

Time seems to have slowed down considerably.

Li Xuan seemed to be pulled into a parallel universe. The light distorted, and the statues in the Swift Reporting Bureau came to life. They stood in two rows on the left and right, staring at him, bowing with their hands and uttering ethereal voices: "Good."

The chief deity Bao Zheng also looked at him and nodded slightly.

Li Xuan first returned the greeting to Bao Zheng, and then returned the greeting to the officials on both sides one by one.

Apart from Bao Zheng, the other officials seemed somewhat uncomfortable with this gesture. Some returned the greeting, while others stepped aside to avoid it. In short, none of them accepted the greeting properly.

The three characters "[Speed ​​Reporting Department]" on the plaque shone brightly and were exceptionally eye-catching.

When the light faded, everything returned to normal, and the officials and Bao Zheng returned to their divine forms...

The chatter of the onlookers resumed!

Huang Huotu knelt on the prayer mat, and Li Xuan stood beside him, saying, "As the head of the Swift Reporting Division, you are practically a member of the division. If you encounter any matters that are difficult to judge between good and evil, remember to report them immediately."

Having witnessed so many strange things, even becoming an immortal has occurred.

What else could Huang Huotu possibly disbelieve?

He nodded firmly and said, "I will!"

Before, he had no backing and was always at a disadvantage because he was all alone. Now that he has joined the Swift Reporting Bureau, he has the help of gods and spirits, his mind is clear, and he is full of hope for the future.

After the ceremony...

A black notebook popped up, reminding him that the main and side quests were complete and it was time to go back.

After dealing with Xu Qingshan, Li Xuan stayed here for another two and a half months. The purple-red gourd was also full of spiritual energy. He originally planned to continue cultivating in this world, but it seemed that staying outside of mission time would consume the "energy" of the black notebook, because he saw that the writing on it had become faint. He had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

On the night before leaving, Huang Huotu invited Li Xuan to his home, intending to have a good drink and not leave until they were drunk.

Li Xuan refused.

Because the Black Law states: Judges must not overwork their bodies, become drunk and confused, lose their temper, drink excessively, become mentally disordered, or malfunction in their duties. Those who violate this law will be recorded in the Great Demon's Book of Evil. If they do not take heed and repent, their names will be written in the Black Book, their fortune and lifespan will be cut off, and they will be sent to the Hell of Tongue Pulling after death, forever losing their human form.

The regulation was probably established out of concern that judges might misbehave after drinking...

He doesn't like the taste of alcohol.

There's a difference between alcoholism and drinking, but he chose not to drink at all, adapting to the underworld in advance to lay the foundation for his future promotion to a high-ranking judge, getting used to it beforehand...

The precepts of the Black Law Book can be roughly divided into these categories.

Abuse of power and arbitrary use of torture against ghosts and gods.

The judge is morally flawed and behaves poorly.

Disregarding etiquette and order, they arbitrarily summoned the spirits and deities of Fengdu.

As Li Xuan perused the Black Law Book to review the regulations, he suddenly came across this clause, and his expression changed slightly: "The judges, appointed by the Northern Emperor and receiving their duties from the Supreme Mystery, accompany the True Martial Protector Saint True Lord in their audience with the Emperor; their power is immense. Whenever they enter or leave, the City God and the local deities must greet and see them off. They must not speak carelessly of the joys or angers of humans or ghosts. The Yin-Yang officials must observe the judges' expressions of joy and anger, and obey without being commanded. If they disobey, the Demon King will not fear them, the ghost officials will not obey them, they will lose their divine power in times of trouble, and they will surely be humiliated by evil spirits."

This rule states that when interacting with spirits or deities, one should not readily show joy or anger on one's face.

Because expressing emotions makes it easy for ghosts and spirits to detect and exploit weaknesses, the demon king will not be afraid of the judge, and the ghost officials will also think that the judge is easy to manipulate and bully. If you ask for help at the critical moment and do not receive a miracle, you will easily fall into the hands of evil spirits...

The seemingly strict rules in the black market are actually the same as the seemingly absurd safety regulations in real-world factories.

Behind every outrageous regulation, there must be a corresponding incident.

Judges are constantly fighting against evil spirits; without strict regulations to uphold justice and righteousness, problems can easily arise.

Li Xuan had a simple dinner with Huang Huotu, using tea instead of wine, and the two said goodbye at the door.

Huang Huotu gripped Li Xuan's hand tightly and asked earnestly, "Brother Li Xuan, will you come to see me again in the future?"

Li Xuan didn't want to lie to him and leave him with false hope, so he said, "I am actually a follower of the Fengdu lineage in the North Pole. I will only encounter more and more demons and monsters on my future path. You should hope that this is the last time we meet."

Since Huang Meimei's incident, Huang Huotu had become somewhat emotional. Coupled with some alcohol, his eyes reddened, and he forcefully patted Li Xuan's hand, saying, "Then you must be extra careful. No matter what happens, if there's anything I can do, just ask. After all, I'm also a Shaoyang Taiyin destiny; you can ask me to dismember someone, and I'll dismember them..."

Li Xuan gently pulled away from Huang Huotu's hand.

He looked at the sky, which had completely darkened, and walked towards the neon-lit street across the street, waving to Huang Huotu with his back turned.

Huang Huotu also quickly waved goodbye.

Li Xuan was crossing the street when a semi-trailer truck sped past, and his figure vanished without a trace in an instant.

Huang Huotu was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Terrified, he was still wearing flip-flops when he scrambled out onto the street, searching frantically for Li Xuan. After searching for a long time without finding any blood or "Li Xuan lying on the ground," his wildly beating heart gradually calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, it made sense; how could someone with extraordinary abilities be hit by a car?

……

The real world, the garden.

A gentle breeze swept by, and Li Xuan slowly emerged. His face was pale; had he almost been hit by a semi-trailer truck just now?
He's already a time traveler, so there's no need for these carriages to give him a warm send-off.

Be careful when crossing the road in the future.

Thinking about leaving that world, I was so focused on looking cool that I left with a desolate silhouette, and I almost made a huge blunder.

The tender green shoot in the garden slowly grew a fourth leaf, with the words "Double Pupils" appearing on it. With a flick of the leaf, two beams of light, one green and one gold, shot out!

The green light entered Li Xuan's pupils, and the golden light entered the gourd.

Green light [Congratulations on receiving the mission reward from the "Dual Pupils" world! You have obtained one 'Pure Dual Pupils'. With these pupils, you can use them at any time to see invisible ghosts without needing any talismans to open them. Furthermore, you will see evil aura surrounding wicked people! Note: When using the dual pupils, your pupils will become dual pupils.]

Golden light [The Great Emperor of Dongyue completes the world's tasks, granting one merit point for establishing an office. This merit is compatible with Fengdu merit; accumulating a certain amount will advance you to the rank of Judge! Note: Merit does not increase cultivation!]

Li Xuan took out the Dongyue Emperor's token from the gourd and found that there was a new line of small characters on it: "Establishment of Merit One".
