Chapter 25 New Official Takes Office

Koreans now have very conflicting feelings towards us. On the one hand, they know that our help is indispensable. On the other hand, they are also very aware of how dangerous the strong gravitational pull of the giant planet China is. Compare this world to a universe, and a country is a planet. China is undoubtedly a giant planet like Jupiter. A giant planet can rely on its strong gravity to destroy any meteorite that is large enough to pose a threat. You can avoid meteorites by hiding around it, but such a giant planet itself is a threat. The super strong gravity is likely to pull everything close to it. into its embrace. Among the current Asian countries, whether they are backward Vietnam and Thailand or advanced South Korea and Japan, which one has not been penetrated by Chinese culture? There are still a large number of Chinese characters mixed in Japanese in Japan. Korean medicine, which is popular in South Korea, although they do not admit it, is actually traditional Chinese medicine. Koreans hope that the big Chinese tree can help shade them, but they are afraid of becoming part of the big tree.

It was in this atmosphere that these Korean presidents and I completed the contract for the civil engineering project, while the ordinary players completed everyone's party. After the celebration, everyone went home to tidy up. The Koreans had contracts anyway, so they simply threw all the construction projects in the two cities to us, and even asked us to clean up the ruins. We simply brought in a giant leveling machine from the mainland and flattened all the ruins to the ground in one go. All subsequent construction projects were handed over to the construction team, and all our main combat troops returned to the mainland.

Our losses in this battle were not big, but not small either. The Tianbing troops have lost about 100,000 people, and it costs a lot more to replenish the troops. Fortunately, sheep come from sheep, and there are orders from Koreans, so the money can't be used to use our own savings.

When I went to Heaven to renew my order, I was notified that Heaven had completed the construction of the underworld passage. The cross-space passage from Essinger to the eleventh Yama Hall has been completed. After paying the order, I quickly returned to Essinger. Taibaijinxing was already here waiting for my arrival. The passage was completed this morning. Unfortunately, our leaders were not in the country, so we were not notified.

Everyone came to the basement together, and the four guards worked together to open the door to the basement. The frozen ice had completely melted. As soon as the door opened, a breath of cool air immediately overflowed. I was so shocked that my whole body felt cold and the hair stood on end.

"Don't be nervous, this is the yin energy of the underworld." Taibai Jinxing is a god after all, and he has been to the underworld several times.

Hongyue hugged her arms tightly and asked Taibaijinxing: "Why do we still feel cold even though our clothes can resist the cold?"

"Didn't I say it? This is Yin Qi, not cold Qi. Now it's your soul that feels the low temperature in your soul, not your body that actually feels the cold."

I asked Taibai Jinxing with some worry: "This is just a little bit of Yin Qi coming through the cross-space channel and it's already so cold. Isn't the water on the other end going to turn into ice?"

"It's not that bad, but it's definitely not too comfortable."

"Then I'll go put on two more clothes." Ah Wei turned to leave. But I carried him back.

"That's the coldness in the soul. What's the use of wearing clothes?" I pulled him into the room and stood on the teleportation platform. "Send us there."

Taibai Jinxing nodded and asked everyone to quickly stand on the teleportation platform. After everyone was in place, he walked to the center of the teleportation platform and pointed at a piece of jade on the ground: "Did you see it? Just step on this when you want to teleport." "

"So simple?"

"None of you here can master the world-jumping secret spell. If I don't help you design a fool's control method, why don't you ask Heaven to assign you two special secret spell masters?"

"That's right."

Taibai Jinxing lightly stepped on the piece of jade, and a black curtain suddenly rose around us. Then it fell quickly again, but after the black curtain fell, we were no longer in Essinger. A chill that was stronger than before made us all shiver.

"It's so cold!" Rose shrank into my arms. "Wow! It feels much more comfortable."

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei quickly hugged the eagle beside him, but he soon shouted again: "Why am I still cold?"

Taibai Jinxing looked at him and said with a smile: "The two of them are lovers who love each other. When they are close together, they can use each other's soul to get spiritual warmth. The cold air of Huangquan is the freezing air of the soul. This kind of energy comes from the soul. Warmth is the only thing that can resist this kind of coldness. Of course it's useless for you two grown men to hug each other!"

Ah Wei immediately said with a sad face: "Ah? Why are the gold coins not online?"

Ying smiled and pushed Ah Wei out and opened his arms to Bai Ling: "Wife."

Bai Ling smiled and threw herself into Eagle's arms and nestled against his chest: "Well! It's really not cold anymore."

Hongyue and Sumei looked at each other pitifully and finally hugged their arms helplessly to achieve the minimum effect of keeping out the cold. There is no way to dispel this cold air from the soul. Unless you find the warmth of the soul, there is no way to stay warm.

Su Mei complained: "Is it only allowed for couples? Isn't this deliberately bullying me?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be a couple. People with deep feelings are fine. Parents, brothers, etc., as long as they can provide warmth to the soul."

"That's easy to say." Hong Yue trembled and said, "I should have known I should have brought my brother here!"

Rose pulled me around and waved to Hongyue and Sumei: "Come here."

Hongyue looked at Rose with complicated eyes, but Sumei ran over without caring and hugged my waist. "Ah...! It feels so comfortable!"

Seeing that Hongyue didn't move, Rose simply ran over, pulled Hongyue over, and crawled next to me with her. Hongyue's face suddenly turned rosy, and her body no longer trembled, indicating that she had felt the warm breath. Rose half-jokingly said to Hongyue: "I knew you had this intention, hehe. Lu is trapped, right?" Hongyue hesitated and let go of her hand, Rose pulled her back again: "With you Are you kidding, don’t be so stingy!”

Ah Wei stood there and sneezed, and a long icicle appeared on his nose: "Mrs. Tai... Taibai, didn't you say this was just mental hypothermia?" He tapped the icing on his nose: "What's going on? Ah Zhi...!"

"Cold air attacks the body. Coldness in the heart causes coldness outside." Taibai Jinxing pointed at the various furnishings in the hall where we were. Thick ice shells hung on those things. "The cold air does not directly produce low temperatures, but the things it touches will erode the soul and gradually lower the temperature."

"Why is the stone frozen? Do stones also have souls?"

"Otherwise, where do you think monsters like Shi Ji come from?"

"Ah Sneeze! I'm unlucky! Ah Sneeze!" Ah Wei shivered and pushed Ying and me, who were hugging each other, out of the teleportation platform. Then Taibaijinxing was pushed out. "You guys have fun first. I'd better wait for the gold coins to come back. Don't worry if you all hold your soul hot water bottles. I'm alone and don't want to turn into a popsicle."

A black curtain flashed across Ah Wei's mind and he left the underworld. The cold here is really severe. He just ran away because of the cold. When the black curtain disappeared, I turned around and found that Taibai Jinxing's beard was also covered with frost crystals. "Is it too cold in Taibai?"

Taibai Jinxing smiled and touched his beard: "Of course it's cold. Except for the heart-warming jade in the hands of Yama of the Tenth Palace and the way you warm each other's hearts, there is nothing that can resist the coldness of the underworld. Otherwise, why do you think it's so cold? Heaven rarely sends gods to the underworld? That’s because the Jade Emperor knew that no one wanted to come here, so he simply tried not to send anyone. If something happened, he would send Yama to obey orders instead of sending anyone down. You move quickly, although I have cultivated my mind. , I can resist the cold a little bit, but I can’t stand it if I stay there for a long time!”

"Oh, then let's introduce things as soon as possible and you can get out quickly!"

Taibai Jinxing immediately said: "I can't bear it for such a long time. Someone will tell you that I'm just handing over and have to go out right away. I can't bear it anymore."

"Then let's do it as soon as possible."

Taibaijinxing took us out of the room. Outside is a small square with rooms on the left and right. Across the square is a large palace. As soon as we arrived outside the main hall, we were startled by the sudden appearance of two guys, one white and one black.

"Black and white are impermanent than Taibai Venus." These two are actually black and white.

Taibai Jinxing quickly pushed us to the front: "This is our palace Yama, and he will be your leader from now on." Taibai Jinxing turned to us again and said: "Official seals and other things have been placed in the treasure house, let the two of them Let’s take you there. I’m going to run away first, Ah Zhi! This is a hell of a place. I’m going to be frozen solid if I stand here any longer!”

"Send Taibai."

Taibai Jinxing ran back in a hurry before he even had time to salute. It seemed that he was also very cold. I turned around and looked at Black and White. The shapes of these two guys are relatively classic, and I believe it is unlikely that even Chinese people would not know about them. One black and one white robe and a tall pointed hat are standard professional equipment, but there are some things that are different from what I remember. Both of them were holding a thin bone stick more than two feet long in their hands. Of course, one was white and the other was black. I know this stick, it seems to be called a soul whip, specially used to beat spirits. Although the whip is just like a stick now, it is actually the same as when my eternity turned into a whip sword. Once shaken off, a whip several feet long can be pulled out from the tip. In addition to the whip, Black and White Wuchang also has an iron chain on his waist. If nothing else, it is a soul-locking chain. This thing cannot bind entities, but it can bind spiritual bodies. It is considered an advanced ghost weapon.

Although the equipment is very traditional, the appearance of the two Wu Chang is different from the legend. First of all, the faces of the two free men are not as black and white as their clothes. Their faces are all pale, even Hei Wuchang. I always thought Hei Wuchang looked like a black man. Now it looks like they are still Chinese! in addition. The two impermanences do not have tongues. In Chinese legend, the two impermanences should each have a long, blood-red tongue that hangs down to their chests, but neither of them has one. What's even stranger is that Black and White Wuchang is actually a man and a woman. Bai Wuchang is a woman. The two impermanent ones are both beautiful and have a great image, and they have nothing to do with evil spirits at all.

"I have met His Majesty the King of Hell." The two Wu Chang saluted me together, pulling me back from my assessment of them.

"What are your two names? Aren't you just called Black and White Wuchang?" Rose asked on my behalf.

Hei Wuchang looked at the rose and then replied: "Your Highness Yama. Usually everyone just calls me Hei Wuchang, and she is naturally Bai Wuchang. There are only one pair of Wuchang in the eleven Yama Palaces, and we rarely have the opportunity to meet each other. There will be no misunderstanding about the title.”

"Hand of Hell?" Rose was stunned for a moment. Although everyone can understand that the Queen of Hell must be the wife of the King of Hell, no one knew that in addition to the King of Hell, there is also the position of Queen of Hell.

"His Royal Highness Yama's wife is naturally the Queen of Hell." Bai Wuchang looked at Hongyue and Su Mei: "These two are Concubine Yan and His Royal Highness Princess Yama, right?"

"No, no!" Su Mei quickly shook her head: "They are the King of Hell and the Queen of Hell, they have nothing to do with the two of us."

"My subordinates remember it."

I looked around and asked, "Where is this place?"

Hei Wuchang pointed to the place where we just came out and said: "That's the passage leading to your hell. The one on the left is the document storage room of Yama Luodian, the one on the right is the warehouse, the place we are standing now is the backyard, and the one in front is This is the Hall of Hell. The Hall of Judges and your main hall of the King of Hell are both inside. The prison is under the ground of the Hall of Hell. It is divided into seventeen levels, each carrying different punishments. The entrance to the eighteenth level of hell is by the Ruoshui River. , shared by the Eleventh Hall of Hell. However, recently the Black Kirin exploded the connection point between the Eighteenth Level of Hell and the Seventeenth Level of Hell. So it cannot be used for the time being. Emperor Yu instructed that evil spirits with major problems should be sealed in first. In hell, we will find a way to deal with it later."

"What is the underworld?" Eagle asked.

"The underworld is a big hole with a soul-calming well on top to seal the exit. We generally call it the underworld of ghosts. All extremely evil souls can be thrown into it and sealed. But unlike the eighteen levels of hell, the evil ghosts under the underworld will not Once it disappears forever, it can come back again after a while, but the power of this soul will become very powerful by then."

"Isn't that more dangerous?"

"It's not dangerous." Bai Wuchang added: "Evil ghosts coming out of the Underworld of Evil Ghosts will become completely mindless idiots. Although they are powerful, they don't understand anything at all. They can be easily 'manipulated' by using the mind-intimidating technique. Used by ghost officials. In the past, Yama Hall did this. However, it is very troublesome to control evil ghosts because they have no intelligence, so they can only control one-on-one, so most Yama Halls do not like to use this kind of evil spirits. ghost."

Rose's eyes suddenly lit up: "How long does it take for a fierce ghost to enter the Well of Underworld and turn into a brainless evil ghost?"

"I haven't tried it. We usually throw it in first and then take it out when we need the land. But that time is usually a few months later, so I don't know how long it will take."

Rose immediately said: "Next time, let's experiment with a ghost. I want to know if it will retain some of its intelligence if it is left in for a few days."

Eagle looked at Rose and asked, "You don't want to use the evil ghost as a fighting machine, do you?"

Hong Yue immediately said: "This method is really promising. Hei Wuchang, how is the evil ghost's fighting ability?"

"The ghosts of the Underworld cannot use spells. Moreover, they will become physical creatures and no longer illusory souls. They are very powerful and attack ferociously, but they basically have no tactics. They purely use their bodies to resist. Fortunately, their Their defense and attack power are exaggerated, and they have no sense of pain or fear. They fight very ferociously, and ordinary ghosts cannot defeat them. The claws of these guys are also harmful to us spiritual beings. They are very troublesome things. To If you want to kill them, you have to cut off their heads or cut their bodies into pieces. Generally, wounds can be regenerated quickly."

"They are simply savage beasts." Rose said: "That said, I hope I can control some and use them in battle. Anyway, they are not afraid of death. They can just rush into the front row as human shields."

Bai Ling suddenly asked: "Is there a Naihe Bridge in this underworld?"

Bai Wuchang immediately replied: "The Naihe Bridge is not on the side of the Yama Palace. It is the entrance to Fengdu City. The souls of the newly deceased will automatically gather at Naihe Bridge to wait to cross the bridge, and then enter Fengdu City. The ghost officials in Fengdu City will follow the instructions The busyness of each Yama Hall determines which Yama Hall a newly arrived ghost should go to for review.”

Su Mei asked curiously: "The souls of the dead will automatically gather in Fengdu City, so what are you, Black and White Wuchang and Minotaur Horse Face doing?"

"Niutou is the internal guard, responsible for the safety of the ghost body of His Highness the King of Hell. Ma Mian is the palace guard, responsible for the safety of the Palace of Yama. We, the Impermanent Ghost, are special ghost envoys who are responsible for apprehending the souls on the run. Some souls continue to have mortal attachments after death. If you don’t want to go to Fengdu City, we are specifically responsible for catching these ghosts. Of course. It’s not all ghosts that want us to go, usually it’s the little ghosts who catch them. The two of us are the commanders-in-chief of the arrest team, unless we encounter a cultivator The devil has passed, otherwise we wouldn't have to dispatch."

"It seems quite complicated!"

I asked again: "Then what does the judge do?"

"The judge is your deputy, who specializes in judging the distribution of ghosts and deciding whether these ghosts will be reincarnated or go to hell to suffer."

"Isn't it my responsibility to judge these matters?"

"You are the King of Yama, and you are in charge of the ghosts in name, but in fact there are so many ghosts that you are too busy to handle, so the judge will do all the work for you. Of course, if you want to have more fun, you can open a court at any time. In addition, sometimes there are some If the ghost judge is particularly difficult to make a decision, you will make the final decision. However, there are not many such cases, and you cannot encounter two in a year."
