Chapter 225: Conferring the Title to the Ghosts and Gods, and Ruling Together with Humans and Ghosts (Final, Two-in-One, 4k Words)
Chapter 225: Confessing ghosts and gods, humans and ghosts rule together (final, two in one, 4k+ words)
The most troublesome thing in the world.
There is nothing better than your friends, your colleagues, and the people you know dying one after another. In the days to come, in the huge city of Jinling, you will not even be able to find a friend with whom you can talk.
But what is even more troublesome is that this person who is obviously dead is standing in front of you alive, chatting and laughing like old friends.
——To be honest, Yang Wei has experienced many storms and waves, and his mind is firm.
Otherwise, if you were an ordinary person, you would be so scared that you would wet your pants.
"Tsk, Yang Wei, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he's broken through?" This is the old man who is a literary sage.
"Yang Siming, you're fine." This was Zhao Weixian.
"Yang Wei, as luck would have it, I didn't expect that I would see you one day!" This is Wu Yong.
The three figures were standing blankly in front of Yang Wei, as if they were reunited after a long separation, greeting each other with a smile.
The dignified Jinling Sword King felt dizzy for a while, and was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
After all, in this world, humans and ghosts have different paths. Even if Yang Wei has broken through the realm of the gods, he has never seen ghosts or anything like that.
Yu Chen didn't hesitate and stepped forward to take over the conversation.
Tell Yang Wei about the situation at hand.
Including the existence of the underworld, the current situation of Jiangzhou, the current status of the old man Literary Saint and others...
All kinds of truths, one by one, are explained clearly.
Yang Wei was in a daze for a while.
It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he rubbed his temples: "Are you saying that Jiangzhou today is no longer in Daxia?"
Yu Chen nodded and clapped his hands.
Yang Wei felt like the world was spinning, his vision was rising infinitely, and he finally had a panoramic view of the entire Jiangzhou.
What he saw was a lonely Jiangzhou, floating in the endless darkness, like an isolated island in the vast ocean.
Apart from that, there is only the underworld below that is completely different from the human world, with billowing underworld, dark ghost palace, endless mist, and thousands of underworld soldiers.
This is not what the world should be like.
hiss--
Yang Wei took a breath, but had to accept this absurd fact.
After a long time, he realized everything clearly and looked at Yu Chen: "Thank you for clearing up the confusion, Your Excellency. Now that I understand the general situation, I have one last question - Your Excellency, who is it again?"
Before, Yu Chen explained everything in front of him clearly and clearly.
But the only thing that was not mentioned was his own identity.
——Who is this guy who has been standing among the crowd of people and ghosts, like a talker?
"Me?"
Yu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm just a gravekeeper at Wanjia Mausoleum, or..."
As he spoke, his voice became hoarse, and the judge's facial makeup grew out from under his flesh and blood, covering his entire face.
"Yang Siming, you can also call me...judge."
At that moment, Yang Wei took a breath!
oops!
Judge!
An old acquaintance!
He even saved his own life!
"So... that's it." Yang Wei exhaled a long breath, feeling both horrified and enlightened!
No wonder the judge appears and disappears without a trace!
It turned out to be this person from the underworld!
"Then what role does your Excellency, the judge, play in this underworld?" Yang Wei suppressed the fear in his heart and asked.
"Um?"
Yu Chen patted his head, not knowing what to say.
Thinking about it carefully, he really has no substantial identity in this underworld?
After pondering for a while, he shook his head: "If you insist on telling me what my identity is in this underworld, it seems that I really don't have one."
Then, he pointed at the Wen Sheng and others behind him, and then pointed at the vast underworld below, filled with endless ghosts.
"——But they all listen to me."
The meeting with Yang Wei didn't take long.
The main thing is to tell him what the situation is in front of him.
After all, to put it bluntly, Jiangzhou is now under the rule of the underworld.
——It’s not the kind of world where the Great Way of Reincarnation is revived and under the jurisdiction of the reincarnation of life and death.
Rather, it truly belongs to the underworld in every sense of the word.
So, someone has to take care of Jiangzhou now.
Since he was the commander of the Jiangzhou Prefecture's Jinling Supervisor, he was naturally the best candidate, so Yu Chen didn't hide it and went straight to a showdown with him.
After hearing this, Yang Wei hesitated for a long time and accepted Yu Chen's edict, becoming one of the managers of Jiangzhou under the rule of the underworld.
At the same time, Wu Yong, who was already a ghost, did not run away. He also accepted the imperial edict and went back to be his state shepherd.
One person and one ghost rule Jiangzhou together.
Ji Qiu couldn't help but make Ji Qiu laugh loudly, saying that this Zhou Mu was miserable enough, even if he died, he had to be pulled up to work.
But when I turned around and thought about it, I seemed to be the same one. I couldn't laugh anymore, so I went back to the Weishui River and continued to be his lantern bearer.
——Although Jiangzhou is under the rule of the underworld at the moment, those people are still living people. They still have to walk the road of reincarnation due to birth, old age, illness and death.
It's over.
Just live like that day by day.
Yang Wei returned to Jinling, and Wu Yong returned to the position of prefecture shepherd as a ghost.
At that time, the entire Jinling, no, it should be said the entire Jiangzhou, Manchuria was in an uproar!
This Wu Yong had previously carried the fate of a state in the Shenwu Palace and was shattered to pieces. This was witnessed by countless soldiers and alchemists, and it was impossible to hide it.
So after Yang Lei led the team back to Jinling, the news of his death spread throughout Jinling. The whole city was in mourning, and the streets and alleys were all in mourning.
But now, tears are still on his face!
You suddenly resurrected from the grave!
Who can bear it!
But what the officials and people of Jiangzhou could not have imagined was that the big thing was still to come!
After returning to the city, the governor Wu Yong announced that he was a ghost.
Before everyone could react, he said again-Jiangzhou is no longer in the world of the living, and everyone will be the people of the underworld from now on.
This made the people of Jiangzhou confused and horrified.
Some people who did not believe in evil went to the border of Jiangzhou, and found that the border was shrouded in thick fog and could not get out.
They had to accept this fact.
At the beginning, everyone was still very scared and didn't know what would happen next.
But as time went by, it seemed that nothing had changed, except that they could not leave Jiangzhou, so they still lived a normal life of eating and drinking.
Nothing changed.
Gradually, they accepted this matter.
Life went on as usual.
Those who should farm farmed, those who should do business did business, and those who should do business did business.
Later, Wu Yong directly ordered the exemption of national taxes, saying that Jiangzhou no longer belonged to Daxia, but was governed by the underworld, and the underworld had no use for the money of living people.
When the news came out, those who could not accept this matter before immediately shut up with a smile.
——How could these poor people care who was in charge of the world? After working hard for most of their lives, it was a real thing to have a few more mouthfuls in their mouths!
In this way, more than half a month after Wu Yong returned, life in Jiangzhou in the underworld was also on the right track.
On this day, the night fell, and Wanjia Mausoleum was at dusk.
Yu Chen asked Shitou to cook a large table of food.
Not long after, figures came up the mountain, some were ghosts.
Wensheng, Yang Wei, Wu Yong, Ji Qiu, Zhao Weixian, Qing Huan, Yang Qingfeng... Friends sat down one by one, toasting and chatting.
During the meal, Wu Yong mentioned that Yu Chen had previously transformed into a judge in Jinling to punish evildoers and eliminate evil. He said that he was wanted at that time, but he didn't expect that he would become his boss in a blink of an eye, and they even sat together to eat and drink. He couldn't help but sigh that things are impermanent.
Zhao Weixian and Wensheng and others also said that they thought that this death would be the end of their lives, but they never thought it would be a new beginning.
Ji Qiu kept saying "Oh my God", saying that he didn't expect that he could still drink at the same table with Wensheng, Jiandi Siming, and Jinling Governor in this life.
As for Huang Quan, the ferryman, he ate the food in big mouthfuls, stuffing his cheeks like a hamster.
...
Everyone had different reactions, but they all ate happily.
It was not until late at night that everyone left the table and returned to their respective places.
As for Yu Chen, he and Shitou packed up the pots and pans, and then suddenly looked at Shitou: "Shitou, I'm leaving, will you come with me?"
Shitou was stunned at first, then nodded immediately!
"Go! I'm going with the master!"
Yu Chen teased him: "You don't even ask me where I'm going?"
"Where the master goes, we go!" Shitou grinned.
"Okay!"
Yu Chen stood up, put all the big and small bags into the mustard seed bag, and walked into the night with Shitou.
It's time to go.
In the past half a month, Jiangzhou's situation in the underworld has stabilized, and with Yang Wei and Wu Yong in charge, there is no need to worry.
At the same time, after Jiangzhou fell into the underworld and was under the jurisdiction of the underworld, there was no last wish for Yu Chen to complete in this huge state, and there was no reward.
If Yu Chen still wants to improve his skills, he has to go to the world of the living, to other places, to complete more unwilling, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled wishes, to open up more broken reincarnation roads.
And his destination was initially set as the capital.
There are two reasons.
First, he naturally wants to go to the foot of the emperor, where many outstanding people are born and it is known as the prosperous city of Daxia.
Second, it is the last wish of the old man Wensheng.
Yu Chen has helped them complete the big and small wishes of the Jinling area, and has also broken through from Kaihai to Lingxiang Perfection, and is on the way to breaking through Shensui.
But it is also interesting to say that the first ghost he encountered when he stepped into Jinling, the last wish of the old man Wensheng, is still clearly hanging on the Sutra of Deliverance.
——Clear the side of the king.
Kill the culprit who was possessed and committed evil, the fourth-level Qi-refining master, one of the three saints of Daxia, the person in charge of Zhantiansi, and the national master of Daxia.
But the national master was not somewhere else, but in the capital of Daxia!
So, Yu Chen took the stone and returned to the world of the living for the first time in half a month through the reincarnation road that connected yin and yang.
The original geographical location of Jiangzhou in Daxia.
Except for the Cangjiang River, one of the nine veins, which was still flowing, the entire Jiangzhou was completely gone, leaving only a huge deep pit, as if a piece of the vast earth had been forcibly cut off.
And in this endless huge deep pit, shadows were everywhere.
One after another, figures wearing court clothes cut through the sky and explored everywhere in this deep pit.
I think they should be people from the court and the surrounding prefectures.
Seeing this scene, Yu Chen was not surprised.
After all, a state was directly gone, and it was absolutely impossible to say that the court had no reaction at all.
After the failure of the alchemy plan, the national teacher could no longer conceal the news. In other words, since his plan had failed, there was no need to go to the trouble of concealing it.
So in the past half month, the news of Jiangzhou's disappearance has probably spread throughout Daxia, and the court must send people to investigate.
Unfortunately, they are doomed to fail.
——Nothing can be found.
With such wild thoughts, Yu Chen boarded the Nine Nether Ghost Carriage, flew up to the sky, and flew along the mainstream of Cangjiang River towards the capital.
The sun rose and the moon set, and three days passed in a flash.
The Nine Nether Ghost Carriage took Yu Chen to the territory of Qingzhou, which is also adjacent to Cangjiang River.
At this moment, he felt a little tired, so he got off the ghost car and took the stone into the city, ready to rest for a day before continuing on his way.
Guhe County.
This is the county town that Yu Chen chose to settle down at random. It is a small county in the north of Qingzhou. It has a small population and even less land than Weishui. To put it bluntly, it is a tiny place.
However, it was noon when Yu Chen entered the city, so there were still many people coming and going in the county town, which was quite lively.
On the streets and alleys, there are shops with a lot of people, and the streets are full of hawkers and pedestrians.
It was March, the spring of the year, when everything was revived, and the city was bustling, showing the vitality.
Yu Chen walked into a busy inn, ordered more than ten pounds of braised beef, some rice and a pot of tea, and sat there.
Shitou began to eat meat, while Yu Chen drank tea and listened to the diners around him bragging.
In the noisy conversation, apart from those completely useless family gossips, Yu Chen mainly heard two things.
The first, of course, was the disappearance of Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou and Qingzhou are neighbors, separated by a mountain, so the news of Jiangzhou's disappearance naturally spread to Qingzhou as soon as possible.
It is said that half a month ago, a caravan preparing to go to Jinling found that the road was gone after crossing mountains and ridges.
A dark land like an abyss occupied all their vision.
At that time, the caravan thought they had taken the wrong road. They took out the map and repeatedly identified it, but found that Jiangzhou should be in front of them!
But there was nothing in front of them except the endless black soil.
The leader of the caravan was also a cautious person. He immediately returned along the same route and reported the matter to the Qingzhou government.
The Qingzhou government also sent people to Jiangzhou.
It would not matter if they did not check it, but once they checked it, the governor of Qingzhou almost peed his pants!
—— It was gone.
The entire Jiangzhou was gone.
The Qingzhou government hurriedly reported it to the court!
Later, the matter spread like this and became the hottest topic of conversation in the county.
For a whole half month, there was no sign of it stopping.
Whether it was curiosity, fear, or just joining in the fun, the people of Qingzhou were very concerned about this matter.
Yu Chen listened quietly on the side and heard all kinds of rumors.
Some say that Jiangzhou suffered a natural disaster and disappeared overnight; some say that Jiangzhou was swallowed by the ancient legendary demon Taotie; there are even conspiracy theories that Jiangzhou does not exist at all...
There are all kinds of opinions, Yu Chen couldn't help laughing, but he didn't get involved.
As for the second thing, it has nothing to do with Jiangzhou.
It's about Guhe County.
These few nights, the people in Guhe County can always see a team of carriages and horses with several carts of goods passing by, and the sound of horse hooves and noise resounds in Guhe County in the middle of the night.
Originally, this is not a big deal. Guhe County is a border town of Qingzhou, and many caravans have to pass through here.
But it happened that several times in a row, at the same time in the middle of the night, the same caravan passed through the streets and alleys.
They didn't leave the city, just circled around Guhe. The crisp sound of horse hooves and the noise made the people of Guhe unable to sleep well for several days.
At that time, there was a "big shot" who had a say in both the black and white worlds in the city who couldn't sit still.
He specially called more than a dozen young men the night before to have a fight with this team of carriages and horses.
That night, more than a dozen people held torches and waited on the largest street at the south gate of the city.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves rang out at the end of the long street, accompanied by the chattering in the caravan.
More than a dozen men slapped their thighs!
They thought they had finally caught you bastards!
They immediately walked forward with torches in hand to see which team of carriages and horses was so arrogant!
But it didn't matter if they didn't look, because a look made more than a dozen young men look dozens of years younger!
—— They were so scared!
Under the dim light of the fire, a team of three carts of goods moved forward slowly.
But the tall horse had its legs cut off one by one, its belly cut open, its intestines hanging out, blood dripping.
And the people on the horse were covered with wounds and pierced with arrows. What's worse, some of them had lost their arms and legs, their heads were cut open, their bodies were rotten and full of maggots, but they were still sitting on the horse, chatting and laughing, unaware!
——Where are the living people? !
More than a dozen men screamed and fled in all directions!
There were also those who were brave enough to run around a corner and look back.
But they saw that the long street was empty. Where was the convoy?
