Journey to the West, there are nine golden crows in me

The chaotic green lotus and the god of the great way are immortal, so Jiang Chen will never die.In this way, it is the future. When he is about to succeed in reshaping the prehistoric world, if he is killed, it doesn't matter, he can be resurrected at any time.

Allies and so on are just a cover, the main purpose is not to hold back those great supernatural beings who are about to attack Jiang Chen, but to attract their attention, so that Jiang Chen has the opportunity to make arrangements.

This plan was the inspiration Jiang Chen got from Xing Tian.

Preparing one's life in advance to hide in the dark, waiting for the future, can indeed play a role of surprise.

……

Jiang Chen moved forward all the way, preparing to leave the Netherworld, but instead of going to the gate of hell, he went in another direction.

After walking through the void for an unknown amount of time, a huge city suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Chen, bigger than any other city in the world, with well-defined streets, numerous shops, and countless pedestrians walking through it, making it extremely lively.

"Fengdu City!"

"No, it's not called Fengdu City now, but should be called Wushi City!"

Staring at the city in front of him, Jiang Chen said its name, City of Death!

Jiang Chen is very familiar with this city, because this is the city he built with his own hands, and it is specially built for those who died in vain.Therefore, this city is called the city of death in vain.However, Jiang Chen prefers to call this city Fengdu City.

Fengdu City, this is the residence of Emperor Fengdu, and also the holy land of ghosts, the place where the Underworld Division is located, and the place where Emperor Fengdu ruled all ghosts.

Jiang Chen named the city Fengdu City for obvious reasons.

Fengdu City is the residence of Emperor Fengdu, if he didn't want to become Emperor Fengdu, why did he name his city Fengdu City?

However, Jiang Chen is not the emperor of Fengdu yet, so this city can only be called the city of death in vain, and cannot be named after Fengdu for the time being.

Unjust death, that is, not the end of life, but death due to suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, victimization, etc., is called unjust death.To put it simply, at the time of death, if Shouyuan has not come to an end, it is a death in vain.

And the city of unjust death is the place where the ghosts of these unjustly dead people live in the underworld.

According to the normal prehistoric history, the city of dead dead is a city created by the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, the ghost who died in hell for suffering an innocent disaster. The sixth hall in Yama is King Biancheng, king of Yama.

Unfortunately, that is normal prehistoric history.Now, with the appearance of Jiang Chen, the torrent of history has long gone astray.Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been abolished by Empress Houtu for hundreds of years, so naturally there is no chance to create a dead city again.

However, the City of Undead is extremely important to the Netherworld, and it cannot but appear.Therefore, the heavy responsibility of building the city of death fell on Jiang Chen's head.

After all, the reason why Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was abolished by Empress Houtu was all due to Jiang Chen.If you killed him, the destiny that should have been fulfilled by him naturally fell on Jiang Chen.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to build a dead city for those who died in vain. On the contrary, it is a good thing. After it is completed, it will reap a lot of merit, and there will be an endless stream of merit.

People who die in vain are people whose lifespan is not yet exhausted.However, when Yangshou is not exhausted, one cannot enter reincarnation, and can only wander in the Netherworld until Yangshou is exhausted, and then reincarnation can be reincarnated.

But it is not a problem to let the souls of these people who died in vain wander in the netherworld, so the appearance of the city of vain death became inevitable.This is a manifestation of the order of the Netherworld, where wandering souls that cannot be reincarnated are collected and managed centrally to prevent them from causing trouble.

After death, those who die in vain will live in the city of vain death until the end of their lifespan.

For example, if a person is destined to end his life at the age of 90, but dies prematurely at the age of 40, he will be gathered to live in the city of death after death, and he will not be able to leave the city of death until he is 90 years old and reincarnate.

During this period, the dead souls in the dead city can live like people in the yang world, and can go to the city to wait and see to see if the person who murdered him has received due retribution.

However, their personal freedom will be strictly controlled. They can neither receive ghost paper and paper sacrifices burned by their relatives and friends in the yang world, nor can they return to the yang world to receive offerings from relatives in the yang world on the Ghost Festival like other dead souls.

All the money and items burned to these dead souls will be temporarily stored in the disciples of the Shangqing Palace and others who assist Jiang Chen, until these dead souls see with their own eyes that those who murdered him get their due retribution, their resentment is comforted, and there is no more resentment in their hearts , After moving the idea of ​​reincarnation, these items will be returned to them.

The reason for doing this is for stability. The sacrifices of relatives in the yang world are the source of power for these dead souls. The more pious the relatives worship, the faster their power will increase. It can be said that this is the embryonic form of incense and fire.

People who died in vain would have resentment in their hearts, but if they get the help of mind power, their strength will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, and they will turn into fierce ghosts and ghosts.At that time, under the influence of resentment, their temperament will change drastically, becoming extremely irritable and hating everything.

At least it would cause chaos everywhere, disturbing the peace of the Netherworld.If it is serious, it will be a disaster, causing people to suffer.Therefore, it is necessary to centralize them for management.

In short, everything is for stability, and the Netherworld cannot be chaotic.

Of course, even if it is a person who died in vain, not everyone can enter the city of vain death.

If there are too many sins in life, then it is not a vain death, but a death with more than guilt.After death, the soul will be thrown into hell directly, and it is not used to waste the dead city.

However, due to the absence of supervision in the Netherworld, Jiang Chen's Void City has undergone a small change.

Yes, no one supervised them anyway, so Jiang Chen simply expanded the authority of the city of vain death. Originally, he could only accept people who died in vain, but now, as long as they were wandering souls, they would all be included in the city of vain death.

Jiang Chen's daring to do this is the greatest manifestation of the disorder in the Netherworld.If there was complete order in the Netherworld, how could Jiang Chen's behavior be allowed?

And the greater the power of the dead city, the closer Jiang Chen was to the position of Emperor Fengdu.

If one day, all the ghosts who cannot reincarnate in the Netherworld come to Fengdu City, then it will not be far from the time when Jiang Chen is crowned emperor.

Although breaking the rules is hateful, Jiang Chen's purpose of breaking the rules is to rebuild a new order for the Netherworld.In this way, his behavior is understandable.

If he is really crowned emperor in the future, then his actions today will be a feat praised by countless people.The same purpose, but because the results are different, will produce two different effects.

People are blind and follow the crowd. As long as you are great enough, you have made a mistake, so you don’t have to worry about it, let alone explain it, because the people below will find good reasons for you on their own initiative.

They will feel that there is something unspeakable about what you do, but the purpose must be for everyone's benefit.

This can also be said to be individualism, blind worship, and it is easy for people to get lost in the cheers of the crowd, so that they do not realize their own mistakes.

It is no wonder that the great man of later generations resolutely opposes individualism and blind worship.It's just a pity that things backfired. After his death, he was extolled on the altar. In his name, I don't know how many things he did, which completely violated other people's original intentions.

……

Different situations, different choices, Jiang Chen doesn't have to worry too much about the situation in the Netherworld, he just wants to engage in personality worship, after all, he really intends to become a god.If you don't practice personality cult, how can you put yourself on the altar?
As long as all the ghosts in the Nether Realm believe from the bottom of their hearts that Jiang Chen is the Emperor Fengdu, then he must be, and this is what everyone expects.

The power of one person is limited, but the power of all beings is infinite. With the establishment of the divine way, even a mortal, with the blessing of the power of all beings, can step up to the altar and possess boundless power.

Emerging from the void, Jiang Chen stepped into the City of Death.He wanted to leave the Netherworld, but instead of going through the gate of hell, he came to the City of Death. Naturally, there was a reason.

The City of Dead Dead is extremely special. It does not completely belong to the Netherworld, but half is in the Netherworld and half is in the human world. In other words, it is built where the two worlds overlap.

On weekdays, the City of Dead Death is indeed in the Netherworld, but every year when the Ghost Festival comes, the space where the City of Dead Dead is located will change, descending from the Netherworld to the human world.

The Netherworld and the human world are too close, every once in a while, the borders of the two worlds will overlap, and then, a new passage will appear between the two worlds that were originally only connected by the gate of ghosts.

And this, for the human world, is a catastrophe. Countless ghosts will escape from the Netherworld from this area, enter the human world, and plunder the vitality of the living.

Although the chaos in the land of Shu back then was due to the changes in the Netherworld, it was more because this place is where the human world and the Netherworld overlap, and the space is the most fragile. However, if it is slightly impacted, it will be broken, so that the passage between the two worlds will be connected. .

Otherwise, the human world is so big, why would ghost troubles break out in Shu?
Another purpose of Jiang Chen building the City of Death here is to block the passage between the two realms.As long as the city of death in vain is not lost, the ghosts of the nether world will not be able to enter the human world.

When he left the Hall of Reincarnation before, Jiang Chen counted the time and found that it was only a few days before the ghost festival, so instead of going to the ghost gate, he turned around and came to the city of death.

He planned to leave the Netherworld from here, and take a look at the situation in the City of Death by the way.

……

Because of the approaching ghost festival, the city of Wushi is extremely lively, even a night market is opened, there are countless pedestrians in the middle of the street, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides.

How is this situation different from the world?If Jiang Chen hadn't known that he was in the Netherworld, seeing the extremely lively scene in front of him, he would have thought he was in the imperial capital of Luoyang.

"It's so lively, it seems that the disciples of Shangqing Palace have managed this place well."

After wandering around, Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.He doesn't care whether the dead city is hot or not, what he cares about is whether the disciples who manage the city are doing their duty.

So far, they seem to be doing their best.A city is good or bad, not by saying it, but by seeing it.

Look at the people inside, if they are insensitive, see no vitality, or have disheveled faces, or faces full of misery, or children cannot enjoy education, ordinary people cannot afford housing, cannot enjoy medical care, and basic life not guaranteed...

It is obvious that the officials who manage this city are extremely incompetent and deserve to be killed.

On the contrary, if the people in this place have something to support their elders, have something to rely on when they are young, and do not close their homes at night, then the officials here are undoubtedly extremely competent and should be rewarded.

Although the situation in Wushi City is special and very different from the world, the principle of governing the country is the same. Looking at their smiles from the bottom of their hearts, one knows that they should be living well in Wushi City.Otherwise, you won't be in the mood to visit the night market.

Jiang Chen was not very surprised that the disciples of the Shangqing Palace were able to manage the city of death in vain.Because it is their merit and virtue to manage the city of vain death well, and the foundation of whether they can enter a higher realm in the future, they naturally dare not take it lightly.

In this world, saints are a minority after all, and it is obviously unrealistic to demand the disciples of the Shangqing Palace with the morality of saints.Jiang Chen also knew this, he couldn't do it himself, let alone the disciples of Shangqing Palace.

Therefore, restraining others with morality is completely nonsense.

Under such circumstances, how can the disciples of the Shangqing Palace conscientiously manage the city of death?
In this regard, Jiang Chen thought of a way, that is to let them manage the city of death for themselves, not for others.

People are self-interested, and this is especially evident among monks. After all, many monks' philosophy is to save themselves first and then others, even Jiang Chen is no exception.

Of course, monks first save themselves and then others, unlike what some people said, getting rich first not only does not lead to getting rich later, but turns around and squeezes the people who make them rich.

Thanks to Daozu's blessing, with his efforts, Taoist monks have very positive values, and they always keep their word. After saving themselves, they will really save those who come after them.What's more, some immortals don't forget to save others while saving themselves.

Otherwise, when you are a fairy, do you start a sect because you have nothing to do?In other words, why do some seniors leave the inheritance in the deep mountains and old forests, waiting for others to pick it up? Is it because they are sick?
No, not at all, the inheritance left by the predecessors is to save others.I have walked on the immortal way, so I left the inheritance to help others walk on the immortal way.

To put it simply, I became rich first, but I did not forget my original intention, so I deliberately left a part of my property to drive others to become rich together.

……

Jiang Chen's method is to target the characteristics of monks to save themselves.The meaning of the existence of the dead city is to maintain the order of the nether world.Therefore, as long as the city of vain death is well managed, it will receive corresponding merit.

Jiang Chen doesn't want this kind of merit at all, it will be given to whoever manages the City of Death.Under the temptation of merit, are you still afraid that the disciples of the Shangqing Palace will not try their best to manage the city of death?

Just for these merits, they will do their best!
