I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 151 The Gate of Hell

"City God is here, come see us quickly!" Wang Zhe let out a deep sigh, and the entire City God Temple shook twice.

Hum, the statue of the City God was shining red, and the next moment, a middle-aged man with a majestic face appeared in front of Wang Zhe.

Look at that attire and the statue of the city god.

"Who are you, and why did you see me?" the City God said in a deep voice.

"Chenghuang, just now there was a ghost general riding a horse into your City God's Temple?"

"But there is such a thing." The City God nodded.

"Do you know who that ghost will be and where it came from?"

"This is a matter of the underworld. Your Excellency is a monk in the underworld, and you can't control the underworld."

After hearing this, Wang Zhe took out the token with a smile, shining with a faint aura.

"Do you recognize this?"

"The underworld inspector! I have seen your lord!" The city god's face changed drastically when he saw this, and he immediately bowed to Wang Zhe.

"Is that ghost general here?"

"It's in the lower official's study."

"Why did the ghost general come here?"

"My lord, he said that he came to Yangjian under the orders of the Yin Division below, and he still has the edict of the Yin Division in his hand, so the city gods from all over the world will make it easier for him." The city god said truthfully.

"Who issued the edict of the Yin Division?" Wang Zhe was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

Although he obtained the one without a badge and became an extraordinary "inspector of the underworld", he didn't know much about the institutions and rules of the underworld.

"I don't know who sent it, but it has the seal of the Yin Division on it, so it cannot be faked." The city god said.

"What is he doing here?"

"Find something."

"what?"

"He didn't say anything." Chenghuang shook his head.

"The city has been haunted by ghosts in the past two days, and several people died, but what did he do?"

"It's his underlings."

"Take him out."

"Yes, my lord!"

The City God disappeared in a blink of an eye, and after a while, he waited for the armored general to enter the hall.

Holding a spear, wearing armor, with a blue face and a grimace.

"I've seen you!" The general bowed immediately after seeing the token in Wang Zhe's hand, but he seemed a little reluctant.

Wang Zhe stared at the ghost general coldly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Passing by here."

Wang Zhe sneered.Raising his hand, a dark purple flame at the fingertips flickered like a candle.

"Karma!"

Seeing this, the ghost general and the city god couldn't help taking a step back.

Although one of them enjoys offerings from the human world and the other is a military commander in the underworld, they are still ghosts in reality, but all ghosts are not afraid of this "karmic fire".

What's more, Wang Zhe's flame is not just karmic fire, but the fusion of "true fire" and "karmic fire", which has the power of these two kinds of flames.

"Say!" Wang Zhe said coldly.

"Just passing by."

"Passing by, I stopped by Daiyue a few days ago, right?"

The ghost moved his bloody eyes, but did not speak.For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing.

"Where did the scattered Yin soldiers go?"

"do not know."

"Ask and don't know? Very good."

Wang Zhe raised his hand a little, and the fire of karma fell on the ghost general.

Ah, the ghost general let out a shrill scream.

It didn't take a moment for it to be burned into a cloud of wind, which dissipated in the hall.

"City God."

"My lord." The City God at the side immediately stepped forward.

"Check to see if those Yin soldiers are nearby."

"As ordered."

"Has Wu Zhengang ever been to Dongping County?" Wang Zhe stared at the city god.

"Return to my lord, I really don't know." Chenghuang replied like this.

Wang Zhe smiled when he heard this.

"How long has the City God been here?"

"My lord, it has been more than 170 years." The city god said after being silent for a while.

Sure enough, the old guy who has survived for more than 100 years is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

If you get it long enough, you will know enough, and you will have a lot to worry about. The older you get, the more afraid you will be of death.

Although the City God is in charge of a place, he may not really serve the people wholeheartedly.

No matter what era it is, people who are too righteous usually don't live long, let alone ghosts.

After experiencing it in life, after death, it becomes a Yin god, and it becomes transparent and slippery.

Holding the Yin Commander's card in his hand, Wang Zhe remained silent, while the City God stayed aside obediently and did not speak.

The hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.

Wang Zhe suddenly recited the mantra.

The City God on the side lowered his head slightly, his eyes moved.

After a while, there was a sudden mist, and then a ghost messenger in official uniform came to the Temple of the City God.

"See my lord, see the city god." The ghost messenger immediately bowed to Wang Zhe and the city god after appearing.

Wang Zhe saw that the ghost messenger must have changed, not the same one he called last time.

"Why did the Yin Division let the Yin soldiers into the Yang world?"

"Go back to the adults, but the villains don't know." The ghost messenger said truthfully.

"My lord, the Yin Division is vast, and there are ten temples of Yama, each of which is under the jurisdiction of different places, and all of them are guarded by Yin soldiers.

Ordinary ghost messengers may not know about such things as Yin soldiers entering the Yang world. If adults really want to know the reason, they can go to the Yin Division. "The City God on the side said softly.

Hearing this, Wang Zhe turned his head and glanced at him.

Go to hell?
To be honest, he had really thought about it, but he wouldn't rush in until he knew the situation there.

Although his current cultivation base is acceptable, the Yin Division is different from the Yang Dynasty after all.It's easy to get in, but not so easy to get out.

"Could this City God have some ideas?"

"If you want to go to the Yin Division, I will have Lao Chenghuang to accompany me."

"My lord ordered, and the villain will naturally do my best." The City God didn't see the slightest shirk and hesitation.

"The matter of the Yin soldiers has to be troubled by the City God."

"You should handle your own duties," Chenghuang said.

"It's annoying."

Wang Zhe waved to the ghost messenger, signaling him to leave with him.

The City God sent Wang Zhe out of the City God Temple, and only returned to the temple after seeing him and the ghost far away.

After he entered the temple, a moment later, a judge in a red robe appeared.

"Did you hear what you just said?"

"Understood." The judge nodded.

"It's been a long time since there has been such an inspector of the underworld. People in the yang world are in charge of the affairs of the underworld, and they are still karma, and their cultivation is unpredictable."

"My lord, what did we do?"

"This lord is just passing by, we will stay here for a long time," said the city god.

"I understand." The judge immediately understood what Cheng Huang meant.

The street outside was empty and deserted.

One person, one dog, one ghost.

"May I ask your honorable name?"

"Don't dare, the villain's real name is Zhang Cheng."

"In the same place, can you be under the jurisdiction of the city god?"

"Returning to the adults, the villains are the underworld ghosts, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the city emperor in the yang world."

"The underworld ghost messenger, Yama of the ten halls, which hall do you belong to?"

"Returning to the adults, the villains are on the job in the first hall."

"The first hall is in charge of life and death in the world, good and bad in the underworld, good and evil, all are judged in that hall, whether it is entering reincarnation or suffering in the underworld, it is judged by the first hall.

yes or no? "This is Wang Zhe's understanding of the Ten Temples of Yama in his previous life.

"My lord, that's exactly the case." The ghost said.

Then Wang Zhe asked some more questions.

For example, how to enter and leave the netherworld with the flesh.

This requires special spells and magic weapons. The token in Wang Zhe's hand is the proof that he can freely enter and exit the Yin Division, and at night, he can enter and exit the Yin Division as long as he passes through the city gods or ghost gates in various places.

Ghost messengers like Zhang Cheng are actually servants sent by the Yin Division to various places in the world.

"Then there is a ghost gate under Daiyue?"

"Returning to the adults, there are indeed."

"Where is it, take me to see it."

"As ordered."

Guided by the ghost messenger, they left Dongping County and went to a place outside the city.

In a mountain, it is very eerie.Before long, a dilapidated temple suddenly appeared.

Moving forward, a pass appeared between the two mountain peaks. Looking at it in tatters, it seemed that it was made of random piles of stones.

Wang Zhe looked at it with his eyes, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed drastically.

The two mountains have been raised more than stone monuments, and the pass in front of them is also the same, from dilapidated to a majestic pass.

There are three big characters "Ghost Gate" on it.

"Through this place, you can enter the Netherworld." That Zhang Cheng said.

Wang Zhe stood in front of this ghost gate and stayed for a long time.

Suddenly there was a gust of dark wind, and a ghost messenger came from a distance with some ghosts locked in him. When he came close, he greeted Zhang Cheng.

Hearing that Wang Zhe was the inspector of the underworld, the ghost officer hurriedly saluted.

Then he led the group of ghosts through the ghost gate and entered the underworld.

"My lord, do you want to enter the underworld?"

"Not going today." Wang Zhe waved his hand.

"Thank you."

"Don't dare." Zhang Cheng hurriedly said.

"This is for you." Wang Zhe took out a "Ghost Orb" and handed it to Zhang Cheng.

"This, I can't help it, this is too precious." That Zhang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand.

As a ghost messenger, he naturally knew the preciousness of this "Ghost Orb".

This is a treasure formed by the condensation of Yin Qi, which is of little use to human monks, and it is even considered highly poisonous.
But to them ghost messengers of the underworld, this is equivalent to a elixir in the world, a treasure of heaven and earth, a treasure that can be met but not sought after.

This small "Ghost Orb" is enough to equal his decades of penance.

"It's useless to keep this thing with me. I'll give it to you. Take it."

"Thank you for the reward, my lord!" That Zhang Cheng didn't refuse, and took it with both hands.

"Goodbye by fate."

"Go slowly, my lord."

Wang Zhe turned away with Laifu.

Zhang Cheng looked at the "Ghost Orb" in his hand and knew that he had encountered a great opportunity today.

After Wang Zhe left with Laifu, he went to the mountain village of Yilie, where he saw a large grave with burning ashes.

"Those two guys are doing a pretty good job."

"Let's go, Laifu, shall we go?"

Wang Zhe took Laifu and wanted to leave this place at night.

He stayed around Dongping County for another two days, looking for the traces of the Yin soldiers, and found some rout soldiers, and cleaned them up along the way.

Still got a "Ghost Orb".

"Let's stop here, Laifu, let's go."

On this day, when it was getting dark, Wang Zhe left Dongping County with Laifu and Tuanzi and headed west.

He didn't walk fast, and before he knew it, he saw a big river flowing eastward.

turbid river,

Wang Zhe took Laifu to the river.The river is not as turbid as in the previous life, but it looks a little more magnificent.

"Laifu, let's go along the Zhuo River?"

Walk west along the Zhuohe River, stop and look around, and stop or sit down if you think about it, or for an hour or two, or for half a day, or for a day.

On this day, I came to a place

Wang Zhe heard the crying from a distance, and it was very sad to hear it.

After slowly approaching, I found that it was an elderly man crying by the river. The old man was dressed in rags and had gray hair.

There was a small grave bag in front of the old man, and there were some ashes, obviously someone who had just paid homage here.

Looking at the aura above the old man's head, it was thin and faint, and it was extremely gloomy. It was obvious that he was in poor health, and he might not live long.

"My son!" the old man was still crying softly.

Seeing this, Wang Zhe just sighed slightly.

Along the way, the world is so chaotic and dead people are everywhere, he has seen too many.

My heart is not numb, nor is my blood cold, but I am already disappointed in the world.

He also understood that sentence.

Prosperity, people suffer; death, people suffer.

No matter what, it is the people who suffer.

Some people froze to death, watching beauties singing and dancing while hugging the stove, some starved to death, some ate delicacies from mountains and seas, wine pools and meat forests.

The world is such a world.

Wang Zhe was about to step forward to comfort the old man, but he saw the old man turned around, took a few steps, and jumped into the muddy river.

He hurriedly stepped into the river, parted the river, rescued the old man, and instantly evaporated the river water from her body.

A fire was lit, and a stream of spiritual energy flowed through the old man's body. After waiting for less than a cup of tea, the old man woke up, opened his eyes, and looked at Wang Zhe.

"Is this the underworld?"

"Old man, where does the sun come from in the underworld?" Wang Zhe pointed to the pale sun above the sky.

The old man was stunned for a while before he realized that it was the young man in front of him who saved him.

"Hey, what are you doing to save me? Last year my husband was killed by bandits. This year my son fell into the river and drowned. I can't survive alone." The old man cried.

Wang Zhe was speechless for a while.

Yes, how can this old man survive at this point?

In the end, Wang Zhe left some food and a piece of silver and left.

Maybe the old man can live longer after he left, maybe not long after he left, the old man will continue to throw himself into the river.

"Laifu, after this trip, let's find a secluded place in a remote mountain, shall we?" Wang Zhe said suddenly.

Bark, Laifu responded twice.

When the evening was approaching, Wang Zhe saw two people standing by the river, one of them was holding something similar to a compass in his hand.

"It's here!"

"Brother, should you be right this time? But it's just the two of us!"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem this time. I've calculated it correctly. The node of the water vein is here! There must be the water dragon stone we've been looking for under the water here!"

"Brother, why don't we change the river, this muddy river is so turbid and the current is so fast that I'm afraid to go in."

"Hey, you don't need to go, I will go this time." The slightly older young man said.
