Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 44, Fengdu Emperor, Broker Zhang Tianshi (Please read on!)

"Ho ho ho."

Lin Yuan loosened Di Ting's neck and let it go. Di Ting immediately growled at Lin Yuan.

However, it looked a little panicked and was obviously very afraid of Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan patted its head and said with a smile:
"I will teach you a lesson later, just stay aside for now."

He looked up at the sky and saw a huge figure coming towards the direction of Fengdu Ghost City with rolling dark clouds.

Zhang Tianshi, who had been hiding, suddenly showed up and ran to Lin Yuan, looking at him in awe:
"Has the True Lord defeated the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

"The True Lord is truly powerful!"

Zhang Tianshi sighed sincerely.

He thought there would be a fierce battle.

After all, in his opinion, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is also a well-known figure. He is an important Bodhisattva who sits in the underworld and protects King Yama. In this underworld, his position is extremely important.

Perhaps he is no less powerful than the ruler of the underworld, such as the Emperor of Fengdu.

but now.

The battle lasted only a short time before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva fled in panic, covering his chest, and even his mount, the divine beast Di Ting, was detained.

But Lin Yuan looked calm and composed.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything, but just looked quietly at the huge shadow in the distance.

Not long after, in the thick black ghost fog, a solemn and majestic figure wearing a crown, twelve tassels behind it, and dressed in black clothes emerged from the black fog.

He is the real ruler of Luofeng Mountain, Emperor Fengdu!
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at Lin Yuan and folded his hands slightly:
"So it's you, the True Lord, who has come. Please forgive me for not coming to greet you."

Lin Yuan waved his hand:
"It's okay, as long as you don't blame me for fighting with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in your place."

The Emperor of Fengdu laughed:
"It's such a small matter, how can you blame me? I just don't know why you fought with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and why you came to my Luofeng Mountain?"

Lin Yuan briefly explained the matter of Guan Yu.

However, he did not say that he was guided here by the God of Heaven, but said that he was invited by Zhang Tianshi to come here to subdue Guan Yu.

Zhang Tianshi on the side could only nod in agreement.

After hearing this, Emperor Fengdu nodded slightly:
"It turns out that they came for Guan Sanlang. It is said that Guan Sanlang has been in the area near the City of the Dead and the Ghost Market for a long time. However, he has not really caused any chaos. He has only recruited soldiers and absorbed some people who do not want to be reincarnated into his army of ghost soldiers.

I didn't pay attention to this kind of trivial matter. But now that he has been subdued by the True Lord, I will hand him over to the True Lord for disposal."

"No real riot?"

Lin Yuan looked at Master Zhang.

Zhang Tianshi shrank his neck and lowered his head.

Lin Yuan recalled that when Lord Haotian sent a message, he only said that Guan Yu had been waiting for him for a long time, but he did not say that Guan Yu was causing chaos in the underworld.
It seems that it was Zhang Tianshi who said that Guan Yu was wreaking havoc in the City of the Dead and the Ghost Market.

Um.
Raging.

Should it also be considered as rebellion?
Subsequently.

Lin Yuan had a brief exchange with the Emperor of Fengdu, and then he made an excuse that he had something to deal with and turned back to Fengdu Ghost City. Before leaving, he seemed to glance at Zhang Tianshi vaguely.

After he left.

Lin Yuan looked at Master Zhang:
"Didn't you say that Guan Yu wreaked havoc in the City of the Dead and the Ghost Market? Why did the Emperor of Fengdu say that Guan Yu didn't really cause chaos? Did you lie to me?"

Zhang Tianshi quickly bent down and folded his hands:
"I dare not. Guan Yu is indeed wreaking havoc in the City of the Dead and the Ghost Market! But his actions are nothing more than a small matter to an existence like the Emperor of Fengdu.

But for us, for those who died in the city and want to be reborn soon, it is a difficult matter!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly:
"Explain the matter clearly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Zhang Tianshi paused, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment, and seemed to be very hesitant.

Finally, thinking of the previous performance of this True Lord in front of him, he sighed and said:

"This matter has to start with the operating system of Fengdu Ghost City."

“You should know that the ghosts of the dead, who are handed over by the city gods and land gods of the world, will directly enter the netherworld through the gates of hell to be reborn after being sentenced.

Those who died unjustly will be temporarily placed in the City of the Unjustly Dead near the Gate of Hell."

“However, the dead are coming to the world all the time. Although those who died unjustly still have a chance to be reborn, it takes a lot of time just to deal with the dead, generally speaking.

A person who died unjustly has to wait in the City of Unjust Death for ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years before he has a chance to pass through the gates of hell and go to the netherworld to be reborn. " "Over time, there are many ghosts in the City of Unjust Death, most of whom have been unable to be reborn for a long time and are extremely resentful. "

"In the Fengdu Underworld's rebirth system, all people who are about to die will be sentenced to a pass. This pass is three feet long and two feet wide. It is a pass."

"Write to the Emperor of Fengdu to get a pass. This pass is required for everyone in the world to reincarnate in Fengdu."

"Hold this pass and pass the inspection of the ghost guards at the gate of hell before you can enter the netherworld."

"The ghost at the gate of hell only recognizes the guide and not the person. Therefore, this also creates an opportunity, a chance for those who have been sentenced to an unjust death to be reborn early."

"As long as they can get a pass like this, they won't have to wait in the City of the Dead and can enter the Netherworld ahead of time."

Having said this, Zhang Tianshi hesitated for a while, looked at Lin Yuan who had no expression on his face, and then continued:

"Due to the effect of this pass and the large number of ghosts gathered in the City of the Dead, over time, a channel for selling pass was formed around the City of the Dead."

“That’s the ghost market!”

"The Ghost Market is full of demons and ghosts, and there is no law or order. It's not like the Wrongful Dead City, where at least there are gods to govern."

"Ordinary people who want to be reborn earlier have no way to enter the ghost market, so a kind of broker came into being. They sell Fengdu Road Pass and other goods in the ghost market to make a profit."

"During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling was granted the title of Heavenly Master by the Supreme Lord Lao, and founded the Heavenly Master Dao in Fengdu, Shuzhong. He was also the first generation of Heavenly Master of our Heavenly Master Dao."

"The ancestor of the Heavenly Master subdued demons and monsters, exorcised ghosts and exorcised evil spirits, and established great authority in the ghost market. He also set up the Heavenly Master's Office in Luofeng Mountain. I am already the tenth generation."

Speaking of which.

Lin Yuan finally understood.

He opened his mouth and said:

"So, your Tianshi Dao is now the biggest broker in the ghost market? Guan Yu is wreaking havoc in the ghost market and recruiting ghost soldiers, but has it delayed your sale of Fengdu Passes?"

Zhang Tianshi lowered his head and said nothing.

It's obviously the default.

Lin Yuan smiled:

"No wonder you, as a Taoist, said earlier that you wanted to seek help from Buddhists to solve Guan Yu's problem. It turns out that this is the reason."

Zhang Tianshi lowered his head even more.

Lin Yuan said:
"Although you have concealed something from me before, now that you have made everything clear, I can forgive you the serious crime."

"However, serious crimes can be forgiven, but minor crimes cannot be escaped. How do you think I should punish you?"

Zhang Tianshi immediately bowed and said:
"I wish to erect a statue of Zhenjun in the Tianshi Dao, and worship Zhenjun as the second god of Tianshi Dao, only below Taishang Laojun! In this way, I can offset the punishment!"

"Oh?"

A direct bribe?

But a pity.

Lin Yuan didn't care about it.

He just said:

"I don't care about my position as a Heavenly Master. I only have one request. If you agree to it, I will not care about your crime of deception this time."

"What do you want, Master?"

Lin Yuan looked into the distance and said:
"I have important matters to attend to when I come to the mortal world this time. I will establish the Yuanhuang Sect. In the future, I want your Tianshi Dao to be incorporated into my Yuanhuang Sect and become a Yuanhuang sect!"

Zhang Tianshi's eyes widened immediately and hesitantly said:

“I’m afraid this is not something I can decide.”

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes:

"You don't agree?"

Zhang Tianshi immediately bowed:
"I dare not! However, the matter of merging the Heavenly Master Dao into the Yuanhuang Sect of the True Lord is indeed of great importance. It is definitely not something I can decide alone. I am afraid I have to consult the Heavenly Master of the previous generation, or even the Heavenly Master of the Ancestor, before I can decide!"

"Humph! I don't care about you so much. I will give you three years. It should be enough for you to contact those previous generations of Heavenly Masters. After three years, I will spread the Yuanhuang Sect in the world.

If you don't have an accurate answer by then, you should abdicate!"

Lin Yuan snorted coldly.

Zhang Tianshi's face suddenly became sad.
