My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 519 Deed

In the teahouse, Chen Mu lowered his head and thought about the ghosts and monsters.

He had been in Yunzhou for more than ten years, and had only seen a limited number of ghosts. A large number of them had appeared on Wuyan Mountain, but they were summoned by human blood sacrifice. On the contrary, there were many ghosts in the original Daliang Kingdom.

"Are there a lot of ghosts and monsters in Kangzhou?" He was a little worried. The ghosts and monsters gave him too weird an impression. Even now, he still felt scared when he thought about it.

"Ghost? What is that?" Shang Yang looked confused.

Chen Mu immediately raised his eyebrows: "The one that the living god dragged into the underworld was not a ghost monster?"

"What I'm talking about is a ghost, the soul of a living being after death, not a ghost monster." Shang Yang corrected.

  Ghost? The spirit of a dead person? Isn't that the ghost in folklore?

Chen Mu was shocked.

"You mean, those human-shaped black smoke at the bottom of the Forgotten River are all ghosts transformed from dead creatures?"

This is different from what he knows.

He had read countless books and witnessed a large number of life and death, but all these experiences told him that the legendary ghosts were nothing more than folk rumors, and were more likely to be the work of ghosts and monsters.

The ghost monster is a kind of demon from outer space, which is clearly recorded in ancient books.

  But at this moment Shang Yang said that living beings will turn into ghosts after death, and can they become ghosts after being led to the underworld?

Isn’t this nonsense!

Although most of the ghosts at the bottom of the Forgotten River are in human form, they are essentially ghosts. How can they become spirits after death?

"You don't know?" Now it was Shang Yang's turn to be confused.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, but didn't ask any more questions.

From Shang Yang's expression, it was clear that the ghosts at the bottom of the Wangchuan River were the spirits of the dead. There must be something inside that he didn't know.

He just wanted to return to the mortal world as soon as possible. He thought it would be best to try not to ask about such a secret matter.

but……

"There are many ghosts in Kangzhou where the Yinshan Prefecture City God's Taoist temple is located?"

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural cycle of heaven and earth, happening all the time. Where are there no ghosts?" Shang Yang asked as a matter of course.

We don’t have so many ghosts in Yunzhou.

Chen Mu nodded, but couldn't help but worry in his heart.

I'm afraid Kangzhou is not a good place to go. If you really go there, you must get away immediately.

"The Book of Conferring the Gods has secret constraints. Once you become a living god, you have to guard the temple for a hundred years. During this period, you cannot leave without permission and can only stay here. Has no one tried to break free from this constraint?" Chen Mu asked tentatively.

"Break free? Impossible." Shang Yang shook his head.

"It is not the contract that binds the living gods, but the dojo itself."

"Once you take possession of the statue in the dojo, you are bound to the countless lives under the dojo. If you want to break free, you will be escaping with countless lives."

"Who can fly away with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of evil spirits? Right?" Shang Yang threw a fried moon burdock bead into his mouth and blinked at Chen Mu.

"I can." Chen Mu's eyes lit up.

He has Danshan and Qiandeng City. Isn't it just a matter of running away with hundreds of thousands of people? Easy!

  Hey!

I forgot that this guy in front of me can carry mountain scriptures!

Shang Yang's face froze, and he said helplessly: "Metaphor, I was just speaking metaphorically."

"The statue in the temple is not only bound to living beings, it is also connected to the earth veins and takes root."

"You can carry hundreds of thousands of people and fly, can you also carry the entire earth and fly?"

"Besides, living creatures are different from Yin spirits after all. Your Danshan Sutra may not be useful."

What a pity.

Chen Mu shook his head in disappointment.

It seems that we still have to rely on the method provided by Lu Liang.

"I heard there's a way to bypass the contract by using a substitute?" He leaned forward slightly and asked in a low voice.

"So that's what you were thinking." Shang Yang suddenly realized, and he looked curious: "What's so good about the mortal world that you have to go there for a look?"

"I've been cursed by a secret spell. I have no other choice but to hide in the world of the living..." Chen Mu still used the same excuse to fool people.

"Just tell me if this method is reliable or not."

"Reliable, of course it's reliable."

"The big shots above only care about whether there is someone guarding the dojo. As for who that person is..." Shang Yang shrugged and said, "No one cares."

Chen Mu felt relieved.

"This method sounds mysterious, but it's actually very simple." Shang Yang explained nonchalantly, "It's just sending two living gods to the same dojo."

"One of them used a secret method to temporarily conceal the Book of the God-conferring, allowing the other to move in first. Since the statue was occupied, the other could not move in, and thus would not be bound by the temple."

"After three to five months, the power in the Book of the Gods that blocks the underworld will disappear. As a ghost, I will naturally be pulled back to the underworld by the Forgotten River."

Chen Mu suddenly realized and couldn't help but feel happy.

The Yin spirit body is just the real body of the demon, a spell, he is not a real Yin spirit, and he is not afraid of the pull of the Wangchuan River. As long as he can get rid of the restrictions of the Conferred God Contract, he can get out completely.

"Issuing two Deities of the Gods in the same place? This isn't easy, is it?" Chen Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Hey! Originally, the living gods had to rotate every hundred years. There was more than one copy of the Deity Contract pointing to the same place when it was first refined."

"Make connections in the prefecture and prepare a large amount of treasures. As long as it is not a key temple, you can get an extra contract." "For those who manage the contracts, just report the damage or loss. It's very simple."

Chen Mu immediately understood and nodded.

……

In the following month, Chen Mu stayed obediently in Feng'an City, watching the group of ghosts busy building the city.

Occasionally he would look for Shang Yang and ask him about the news about the living gods in a roundabout way.

The one-horned ghost king messed up the assignment for Qingyang City Lord Xiao and dared not return to Daqingshan City, so he turned to Feng'an City.

It was thanks to this old ghost who provided information that he understood what a living God is.

In Chen Mu's view, the Yin spirit of a living god is just a tool of the City God's Taoist temple.

The so-called City God's Dojo is very similar to the forbidden formation of Qigong practitioners, and has various magical uses such as combing the earth's energy and attracting the underworld.

The Yin spirit is one of the core elements of this magic ban. It can take effect as long as it resides in the statue of the Taoist temple.

In order to ensure the continued effectiveness of the Taoist temple, the Taoist temple itself must have a restraining and confining effect on evil spirits.

Once you start working, you will work for a lifetime without rest.

"Has he really become a working soul? Tsk... so pitiful." Chen Mu couldn't help but shake his head.

……

On this day, in the Feng'an City Lord's Mansion, in a side hall on the east side.

Lu Shisan was holding a tray, on which was placed a black scroll about the length of his forearm with auspicious cloud patterns engraved on the surface.

"Is this the Book of the Gods?" Chen Mu looked at Lu Liang and Lu Shisan.

"You sign your name on the contract, and it will automatically absorb your energy and complete the signing." Lu Liang nodded: "With it, you can find the Naihe Bridge, cross the Ghost Gate, and go to the world of the living to become a living god."

Finally, I see hope of returning to the world of the living.

Chen Mu was slightly excited.

Although the underworld is not bad, he is a living person after all, so he would feel more comfortable returning to the world of the living.

Thinking of this, he immediately reached out and took the Book of the Gods.

He was not afraid that Lu Liang would cheat him. With the Heavenly Demon Spirit, although he could not make the two of them obey his orders, he eliminated the possibility of the other party persecuting him.

The scroll was opened, and rows of graceful silver characters came into view. They were magical symbols of true meaning that contained a complex sense of coldness. He just looked at them a few more times and couldn't help feeling dizzy.

Chen Mu immediately shifted his gaze, but couldn't help feeling surprised.

What a powerful book of the gods!

At the same time, a series of information appeared in his mind.

Xiaowa Town, Pingdan County, Luofeng Commandery, is it the land garrison under the command of Tao Yu Zhenjun?

Land guard?

Isn’t this... the god of land?

Chen Mu looked weird.

"The substitution of a scapegoat is against the rules after all." Lü Liang explained with a wry smile, "It's too conspicuous a position to be manipulated."

Chen Mu immediately understood and nodded.

"Look." Lu Liang smiled, took out a scroll from his sleeve and unfolded it.

A deed exactly the same as the one in his hand appeared, with the same Xiaowa Town, the same land god, and a name already signed at the end.

"Music Dian?"

"Yes, this person is a Yin soldier under the Qianren Camp, and can guard the dojo on your behalf."

"And... he is one of us, and he has read the Dongji Changsheng Sutra seventy-two times." Lu Liang smiled at Chen Mu and blinked his eyes.

"I also gave him enough compensation, enough to make him willing to become a living god."

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile.

The matter of returning to the world of the living has finally been accomplished.

Without any further hesitation, he raised his hand, picked up the brush on the tray, and happily wrote his name, um... Shen Yan's name.

This divine contract was actually some kind of restriction, so he thought it would be better to be cautious.

Then he released the true form of the bald demon, allowing the Book of the Gods to absorb its energy and preserve it.

Chen Mu looked at the freehand full-length portrait of a bald man that automatically appeared on the right side of the deed and couldn't help but nod.

The name is Shen Yan, the aura is that of a true celestial demon, and with the help of the Li Dai Tao Jiang technique, there are several layers of separation, so even if there is something wrong with this contract, I can still escape.

I don’t want to be a working soul!
