Chapter 865: The Underworld Market and Ye Fan's Group of Three Leave
As the blood from the tip of his tongue slowly dripped onto the jade pendant, Shen Zhinan felt a violent tremor all over his body.
Invisibly, there was an ancient and powerful force that resonated with him at this moment.
Amidst the black smoke,
the surface of the jade pendant glowed brightly.
An indescribable force flowed out from it, flowing along the blood from the tip of his tongue, blending into his limbs and bones, and even into the depths of his soul.
Shen Zhinan was wrapped in light, and his aura was changing rapidly.
Invisibly, in the cold wind around him, a voice similar to chanting sounded.
That was the authority of the Eastern Ghost Emperor, the supreme authority that ruled the underworld, activating.
At this moment.
Shen Zhinan clearly sensed every subtle change in the underworld, and could even hear the whispers of the dead souls lingering outside the gates of hell...
Shen Zhinan took a deep breath, and felt as if he had established some kind of mysterious connection with this world.
Soon, the light curtain disappeared.
Although the man's appearance did not change significantly, his temperament became completely different in an instant.
Especially those eyes, which were full of vicissitudes, as if they could see through all the vanity in the world, with sharp eyes, penetrating people's hearts, and seducing souls!
"My Lord!"
When the brilliance of the jade pendant's authority disappeared, Shen Zhinan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai nodded, and there was no need to say anything extra. The authority jade card had already indicated that the other party had obtained the authority recognition and activated the authority jade card, and naturally obtained the relevant memory fragments at the same time.
Jiang Huai was more concerned about what the new function would be after the Eastern Ghost Emperor took office.
Just thinking about it, a line of flowing gold-plated text appeared in front of Jiang Huai, flashing and extremely conspicuous.
He looked at it, read ten lines at a glance, and quickly browsed it.
On the surface, he did not change his color, but a strong sense of joy emerged in his heart.
I didn't expect the new function to be this.
Newly opened function: market function.
The specific functions of the market are as follows:
First, the awakening degree of the dead souls in the underworld has been greatly improved.
Second, the market starts once a month, and each time it starts for three days.
Third, the dead souls in the underworld can trade freely in the market.
Fourth, the trading rules of the market must be set by the host. Do you want to set it now?
Friendly reminder: It cannot be changed after setting!
Friendly reminder: After setting the rules, you can choose the range of the market.
Market, Jiang Huai is not unfamiliar with these two words, just like the big market in the countryside in his previous life.
But for the underworld, the meaning of these two words is unimaginably important.
Once the market appears, the underworld is no longer cold...
Not to mention, it is specifically stated above that the sobriety of the dead souls will be greatly improved.
This is the most important point.
A group of confused dead souls is definitely not the netherworld that Jiang Huai imagined.
People have popularity, and ghosts should also have ghost spirit.
What he wants to create is a lively world that is no different from the real world, and even the two worlds can be connected to each other.
Of course, this is a later story.
It is not possible at present.
In addition to his own believers who can wake up and return to the world of the living for a period of time at a specified time.
The others, once released, would be the evil ghosts that everyone wanted to kill in horror movies in the previous life.
Jiang Huai did not set the trading rules for the market immediately.
Rules cannot be thought of in a few words, not to mention that this is not an ordinary set of rules. You can change it if you want. Once it is set, it cannot be changed. You need to think it through.
Although Shen Zhinan entered the underworld, he can still go in and out of the outside world at any time and reunite with his family outside.
This is also one of the powers of the Ghost Emperor.
It is for this reason that he was chosen as a living person.
In order to make up for the debt of making the other party wait for more than 30 years, Jiang Huai specially took out a Huiyan Pill and several ginseng fruits.
These things are naturally not for Shen Zhinan. After the other party officially took power, he has restored his youthful appearance and his life span is not in danger.
They are for his wife.
The other party is still just a mortal, and these things are useful.
Shen Zhinan hurriedly accepted them, and at the same time was very grateful to Jiang Huai.
After doing all this, he let Shen Zhinan stay to get familiar with the environment in the underworld, and he went back to the palace to think about the relevant rules of the market.
A few days later.
The rules were thought out.
The first point is to be honest and punish fraud severely.
Honesty is the basis of transactions, so honest transactions are strictly promoted in the market.
Jiang Huai decided to set up a "supervision committee" composed of fair and selfless judges to supervise every transaction and ensure that both buyers and sellers follow the principle of honesty.
Once fraud is discovered, whether it is false reporting of prices, inferior goods, or forced buying and selling, they will be severely punished.
As for the punishment, it is very simple, directly sent to the corresponding hell in the eighteen levels of hell, which is ready-made.
The second point is free trade and respect for choice.
Jiang Huai encourages the dead souls to trade freely and respect their personal choices. Whether it is buying, selling or exchanging, the dead souls can do it according to their own needs and wishes, and no one is allowed to interfere.
The third point is dispute resolution and fair judgment.
In the process of trading, disputes are inevitable.
To this end, Jiang Huai specially arranged for the judges of the supervisory committee to also be responsible for handling transaction disputes, adjudicating disputes impartially, and ensuring that the rights and interests of both parties are protected.
No matter what the rules are, making them is just the beginning. The real challenge is how to implement them.
Of course, Jiang Huai doesn't need to worry about these.
After all, the people he arranges are his own believers.
After the rules were made, the whole underworld seemed to be blown by a breeze in an instant.
Jiang Huai could clearly feel some subtle changes in the underworld.
The most obvious is the current dead souls in the underworld. Before the market function was opened, the dead souls were often confused and walked aimlessly in front of the gate of hell.
As the rules were made, the eyes of these dead souls obviously looked clearer, as if they suddenly learned to think and were no longer aimless.
At the same time, a three-dimensional bird's-eye view of the underworld appeared in front of Jiang Huai.
This image is made up of countless lights and shadows, and the topography, building distribution and activity trajectory of the entire underworld are clearly presented in front of him.
Jiang Huai narrowed his eyes slightly and observed the image carefully. He needed to choose a location suitable for building a market.
There is more than one place, a total of nine places need to be set up.
He first ruled out the area near the Ghost Gate, because it was the first stop for the dead souls to enter the underworld. Although the flow of people was large, it was too noisy and chaotic, which was not conducive to the long-term development of the market.
Then, he ruled out those gloomy and sparsely populated places, which were too remote to attract enough dead souls to come and trade.
The area inside the underworld is not small. Except for the most basic facilities, everything else is based on the fairyland.
Finally, Jiang Huai's eyes fell on several open spaces in the central area of the underworld.
These locations are convenient for transportation and are connected in all directions. No matter which direction the dead souls come from, they can be easily found.
For this reason, Jiang Huai specially set up post stations, teleportation arrays, etc.
"This is it!" Jiang Huai was determined in his heart, and his finger lightly tapped on the three-dimensional map. A ray of light instantly shot out from his fingertips and landed accurately on the open space.
As the light fell, the originally empty ground began to vibrate slightly, and then cracks appeared, and black fog poured out from them. The fog rolled and finally condensed into a huge archway with the two characters "Fangshi" engraved on it...
Nothing happened that day.
The next day, the dead began to come to trade.
On the third and fourth days, the number of dead souls was not too large.
But from the fifth day, the nine Fangshi locations were already overcrowded with ghosts, and the things traded were simply varied.
As for where the things traded came from, it seemed to be related to the things that the dead souls often used when they were alive, from the underworld.
...
This day.
Jiang Huai had just returned from Naihe Bridge.
He met Ye Fan and others who had just come forward.
"Three Taoist friends, is there anything?" Seeing Ye Fan, Henren, Wu Shi and others in a hurry, Jiang Huai asked immediately.
"Thank you for your hospitality during this period, we plan to leave today!" Ye Fan clasped his fists and thanked sincerely.
Although he was still not rejected by heaven and earth.
But they had stayed here for a long time.
Although they didn't want to leave, all good things must come to an end. The three of them had more important things to do.
In that ominous land, besides them, there were other creatures fighting, and the three of them were the main force.
"After this farewell, I don't know when we can meet again. The mountains are high and the waters are long. Please take care of yourselves and have a safe journey." Jiang Huai sighed.
Although they didn't spend too much time together, whether it was Ye Fan, Henren or Wu Shizhong, everyone was quite familiar with his temper. It was natural that they were reluctant to leave.
"With your strength, you should know the existence of that place, and you should also know how difficult it will be in the future... Don't you want to go there with us to fight bravely?"
Ye Fan and others looked at each other, and finally, Henren spoke first.
"To be honest, we came from the future time and space and saw some things about Liu Village..."
Preparing to leave here, the three Henren decided not to hide anything anymore, and wanted to remind some people that they would bear the cause and effect.
Because the longer they spend time with the Lord of Liu Village, the more they can feel the incomparableness of this white-robed figure.
Not only is his strength above theirs, but he also wants to create reincarnation and create his own fate.
What kind of courage does it take to do such a feat that is almost against the will of heaven?
Even they dare not imagine it.
If such an existence can live to the future and fight side by side with them, it will definitely be the nightmare of the weird clan and the hope of all creatures!
Hearing this, Jiang Huai looked at the God of Willow.
The God of Willow did not hesitate and continued: "To be honest, we have not found any news about your land in the future. This is obviously abnormal. Time is eternal and will leave traces. This can only mean that your land should have suddenly suffered an irresistible impact. Even your Excellency cannot resist it. Combined with your intention to create reincarnation..."
After the voice fell, the ruthless emperor did not continue to speak, because the meaning was already very clear.
As time passes, there must be traces. If there are no traces, it is probably because of unimaginable changes.
Combined with the feat of Willow God to create reincarnation, the only thing that can make the Immortal Emperor unable to resist is the overwhelming reversal of cause and effect.
The word reincarnation is enough to carry such cause and effect.
"Perhaps the future will be different. I see more. All the results of the future are not predetermined, and the years are not absolutely three-dimensional. Don't worry, I firmly believe that when that time comes, everything will change."
As he spoke, Jiang Huai smiled bitterly in his heart.
Because of the golden finger, he was not burdened with all kinds of karma, and he was airborne in this world.
Under these two reasons, neither the past nor the future years have anything to do with him.
The only time that can affect him is now.
And as he arrived at the Immortal Emperor Realm, even the current years have gradually faded. After reaching the Sacrifice Dao Realm, the years will completely have no trace of him.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the three of them to see any information about themselves and Liucun in the future.
On the contrary, if there is news about themselves in the future, it is really wrong.
As for the Netherworld Hell that he created, it has nothing to do with it.
And he opened the Netherworld Hell on the surface, but in fact, everything he needed was opened from the dragon egg.
But this matter is his biggest secret, no matter who he is, not even Liu Ruyan, he can't tell it.
As for Ye Fan and others... misunderstandings are misunderstandings, they can always be made up in the future.
Ye Fan's face was heavy, thinking that Jiang Huai took it for granted.
They came from the future, and what they saw was enough to show that the future here was too tragic.
After the thought came to an end, he looked at Jiang Huai, thought about it, and was still a little unwilling. He tried to touch this mysterious strong man with his last words:
"Daoyou, we understand your obsession with reincarnation, and we can see your courage, but you must know that every step against the heaven is accompanied by immeasurable risks. Even if you are powerful and can suppress all the villains, some things need to be considered in the long run..."
The ruthless emperor took over the conversation: "We don't want to see a strong man who may rewrite history and become the hope of the future fall into eternal damnation because of a momentary persistence. The road of reincarnation is too long and too complicated, please think twice."
"I appreciate your kindness, but my heart is like this and will not change, and you don't need to say more."
Jiang Huai waved his hand, not wanting to continue to delve into this topic, because there was no point, his secrets could not be told, and continuing to argue would only mean talking about different things.
When Ye Fan and the other two heard this, a complicated look flashed in their eyes.
They thought of this.
The one in front of them was an Immortal Emperor, even if they were at a level they all needed to look up to, it was unimaginable for someone to reach this point.
It was indeed a fantasy to want to change the will of an Immortal Emperor with just a few words.
The ruthless emperor frowned slightly, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end he just sighed softly and did not speak.
The Wu Shi emperor stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "In that case, then we will not say more, fellow Daoist, take care!"
"Take care!"
The few people reluctantly said goodbye, and finally, the three of them left together.
After staring at each other for a long time, Jiang Huai retracted his gaze.
Ye Fan and the other two hoped that he could become their right-hand man, and so did he? !
Shaking his head, not thinking about these, Jiang Huai walked straight into the bamboo forest of the God of Dao.
Relying on outsiders is ultimately the last helpless choice, and one's own strength is the kingly way.
