After Feng Qingyan walked in, the two bronze doors closed.

"Why is it the same as the Qingshan City God's Mansion in my previous life?"

Feng Qingyan stared at the hall in front of him and whispered, then walked across the bronze square and stepped onto the steps in front of the hall.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out to push the door of the palace.

However, the palace door did not move at all, so he withdrew his hand and retreated to the bronze square.

The main hall is located in the center of the mansion, and other palaces are centered around it. The plaque on the door of the hall is inscribed with three large, captivating characters.

"City God's Palace."

"Could it be that the Qingshan Marquis's Mansion is the City God's Mansion?"

Feng Qingyan stared at the three words "City God Palace" and then walked towards the palace on the left.

The layout of the mansion is that the front is a tower, a bronze square, and the City God Hall. The City God Hall has several entrances, which should be the middle hall, the back hall, and so on.

There are many palaces on both sides of the main hall.

At this time, he walked to the left. The hall in front of him was much smaller than the hall in the center, but it was still majestic and solemn, and a bit mysterious.

From a distance, you can see three big characters written on the plaque above the hall: Judge's Hall.

"Judge's Hall?"

Feng Qingyan frowned.

This was the same as the City God's Palace in his memory. The main hall on the left side of the City God's Palace was the Judge's Palace.

He walked up the steps and reached out to push the door again, but it still didn't open. Then he walked down the Judge's Hall and went to the second palace on the left.

The second palace on the left is no longer called a palace, but a palace.

Feng Qingyan walked along the way and saw the Quick Report Department, Good Wish Department, Investigation Department, Document Department, Hell Department, Case Management Department, Book Inspection Department, and Gongcao Department.

It was still the same as he remembered.

At this time, he stood in front of the last palace on the left, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have worked as a Gongcao in the City God's Palace.

He closed his eyes and recalled carefully.

At this moment, he vaguely remembered that Gongcao seemed to be in charge of inspecting and recording performance and sending official documents. The so-called inspecting and recording performance means inspecting and recording the performance and merits of various institutions under the City God's Mansion. The main objects of inspection and recording are the land gods of various towns and villages.

Generally speaking, inspections and records are conducted once a month.

It is also a very important temple that transmits official documents from the land temple to the city god.

At this time, the function of Gongcao became clearer and clearer in his mind.

He also remembered that Gongcao had another important duty, which was to present the petitions from the mortal world to the City God. However, this required mortals to set up an altar and chant, burn the documents and invitations, invite the inspecting Gongcao, and then burn the petitions they wanted to present...

“Why is it the same?”

Feng Qingyan opened his eyes, a little confused.

He walked up with some expectation, hoping to open the door of Gongcao Si, but unfortunately failed again. He vaguely remembered that when he first walked into the City God's Mansion, it seemed that except for Gongcao Si, the doors of other halls could not be opened...

Feng Qingyan stood there silently for a while, then turned around and went back.

The halls on the left side of the City God Temple are civil affairs, while the halls on the right side are military affairs.

At this time, he came to the first palace on the right, which was the Palace of Impermanence in his memory, and was similar to the Palace of Judges on the left.

"In this Zhou Dynasty, there is neither a judge nor an impermanence, so why are there a judge and an impermanence hall?"

Feng Qingyan really couldn't understand.

Wuchang, also known as the Black and White Impermanence, holds shackles and handcuffs, specializes in arresting ghosts and helping to reward good and punish evil. In Feng Qingyan's vague memory, it seems that Bai Wuchang's name is Xie Bian, who is tall and thin with a white face, and is respected by the world as the Seventh Master.

The Black Impermanence is named Fan Wujiu. He is short and fat with a dark face. He is respected as the Eighth Master.

At this time, Feng Qingyan couldn't help but shake his head, and suddenly sang in a strange voice: "The glory is just right, but the impermanence is here again!"

As usual, he pushed the door of the Wuchang Palace, and then walked towards the second palace. Along the way, he pushed the door of more than a dozen palaces, but none of them could be opened.

Soon he returned to the Bronze Square and continued to gaze at the temple.

"Qingshan Marquis' Mansion and Qingshan City God's Mansion both have the word Qingshan in their names, and the layout of the Marquis' Mansion is the same as that of the City God's Mansion..."

Why did things from the previous life come to this world?

He looked up at the dark sky.

Unfortunately, there is no answer. Perhaps what I saw was an illusion...

At this time, Feng Qingyan closed his eyes and whispered, "Disappear."

When he opened his eyes, he found it was pitch black in front of him, so dark that he could not see at night. The City God Palace, the Judge's Palace, the Impermanence Palace and so on had all disappeared.

There was only darkness before my eyes.

The darkness seems boundless, yet it seems to have boundaries, making it impossible to detect.

For a moment, Feng Qingyan couldn't tell whether the City God Temple just now was an illusion, or the darkness before his eyes was an illusion.

He looked and then walked in the darkness.

Suddenly, he "saw" a lot of mysterious chains intertwined in the darkness. He could "see" but could not touch or even feel them.

However, these chains seem familiar, they seem to be chains of laws.
But it is not the chain of the Holy Law.

"Chains of the Netherworld Law?"

Feng Qingyan looked around in surprise and found that the darkness in front of him was the real scene. The City God Hall and Judge Hall he had just seen were all illusions.

But think about it carefully.

Feng Qingyan was no longer sure if it was an illusion.

At this time, Feng Qingyan simply sat down cross-legged, carefully "looking" at the chain of laws, thinking about the purpose of Qingshan Marquis building the Bronze Marquis Mansion.

Since it was ordered by the Ghost Emperor, it should be related to the underworld.

The bronze mansion in front of us is obviously not completed yet, it is only half built.

After a moment, Feng Qingyan thought of the illusion just now. Could it be that Marquis Qingshan was ordered by the Ghost Emperor to build the City God Palace to control the ghosts of a country?

During the Ghost Merchant Era, the Ghost Emperor controlled both the human world and the underworld, causing chaos.

After a while, Feng Qingyan suddenly realized that something seemed to be missing, which prevented the construction of Qingshan Marquis Mansion.

"What's missing?"

Feng Qingyan frowned.

The Qingshan Marquis Mansion built by Qingshan Marquis is not the City God Mansion, but a similar existence to the City God Mansion to facilitate the management of ghosts...

"The chains of laws are chaotic and complicated..."

Feng Qingyan closed his eyes, but he could still "see" the chains of laws. He even gradually discovered that the chains of laws were dancing wildly, as if they had nowhere to go.

"Rootless duckweed!"

Feng Qingyan blurted out.

Perhaps before Qingshanhou was built, the Ghost Merchants were destroyed and the Nine Nethers were cut off by the saint, causing the chain of laws to be unable to connect with the Nine Nethers.

Therefore, the chains of laws before our eyes are dancing wildly and becoming rootless duckweed.

The more Feng Qingyan thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

"its not right."

He vaguely remembered that the existence of the City God's Mansion in his previous life was due to the Rule Monument.

But you can try.

Now that Jiuyou has been cut off, the chain of laws cannot take root in Jiuyou, but the ghost gate behind Feng Qingyan is connected to Jiuyou.

"rise!"

He thought about it, then stood up and shouted suddenly.

At this moment, a strange darkness appeared behind him, and in the darkness a mysterious ghost gate was looming, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.

The ghost gate slowly emerged.

At this time, a strange darkness appeared behind Feng Qingyan, and the darkness became bigger and bigger.

Ghost gates keep appearing.

Rumbling--

When the Ghost Gate emerged, it seemed that the entire Bronze Marquisate was shaking.
