Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 508 Director, should we build a door?

Not long after Wang Xingping became the first to walk, those who had previously hesitated or were unwilling to cooperate with others due to their own thoughts changed their minds.

Because Wang Xingping wielded too much power!
The scale of this was so alarming that everyone was terrified. The appointment of underworld messengers, the start time of their assessments, the location of new post stations, the naming of new post stations, and even the upper limit of the number of underworld messengers in a post station could all be exceeded at will.

This power makes them envious.

But just when some people made various promises and sacrifices to make their own cronies the second or third to act as underworld agents, the power they imagined never came.

As they become wanderers, they possess only minor powers such as the right to use the Yin-Yang sedan chair at the post station free of charge, the right to participate in the naming meeting of the settlement, the right to use the Pot Heaven space, and the power to "judge" designated targets.

Although these powers were considerable compared to other underworld officials, they were not what they expected.

Moreover, the so-called right to participate in the meeting was merely a naming ceremony, and it was a meeting held by these newly appointed officials together, with the older officials not participating at all.

But who cares about the naming of a place in the underworld?

They want more power!

Unfortunately, no.

If we use the concept of a company to describe these journeys...

Although the others have entered the management level, they are still just employees.

It seems that Wang Xingping acquired shares in the underworld?

This has left many people feeling regretful, regretting that they didn't react immediately and weren't the first to walk.

They attributed Wang Xingping's acquisition of this power entirely to being the first to possess the privilege of being able to walk.

After all, Wang Xingping was different from others when he was the first to receive the title.

As a result, those who could not obtain those powers through their own people began to gravitate towards Wang Xingping.

The Lingyuan City Survey Bureau branch has become a special branch within the Bureau, independent of the Tiangang and Disha branches. Previously, there was only one such branch, which was the headquarters!

The General Administration did not say anything about this matter, or rather, Feng Jin did not say anything about this matter.

During the period when Feng Jin participated in the Underworld assessment at the Bureau of Public Opinion, he sent some information that he felt was important to the Great Xia Ancestral Land.

But he was sent away before he even got to see Xia Wuyou.

The Xia family could have spent time searching for their illegitimate children scattered across the country, but they were unwilling to spend their time on matters related to the underworld.

This made Feng Jin feel a sense of alienation once again.

The Great Xia belongs to the Xia family.

But the Xia family is not from the Great Xia.

Since the ancestral land of Great Xia treats this matter this way, why should he interfere in it?

However, Feng Jin paid more attention to Wang Xingping.

Just after Wang Xingping became the first person to walk the path of the underworld, he revealed his first piece of inside information.

The next title assessment in the underworld will be in one month.

Upon receiving the news, Bao Lingqing leaked the information, and as a result, all branches of the Great Xia once again devoted themselves to training and cultivating their own underworld messengers.

We should strive to get a head start when the next assessment begins.

After seeing that his uncle Wang Xingping had accepted the 'threat' from the underworld, Chen Xin stopped paying much attention to the affairs of the underworld and simply had Huang Ying and others travel around to secretly follow and protect him.

Chen Xin had already converted the good karma he had accumulated during this period into silver from the underworld in batches.

The reason for bringing in the money in batches is that we are afraid that bringing in too much money at once will cause unnecessary trouble.

During this period, Chen Xin accumulated 55 million merits, keeping 5 million as a reserve, and spending the rest on bringing silver into the Ghost Realm.

One million taels of good deeds can allow one to enter the underworld with one hundred taels of silver.

Fifty million good deeds will earn you five thousand taels of silver!
In the Ghost Realm, Chen Xin's home did not become magnificent because of the appearance of five thousand taels of silver; the courtyard was still the same courtyard.

But after nightfall, the situation of the illusionary body changed drastically.

When the illusionary body went outside, apart from skin color and facial features, the rest of the body was almost identical to the physical body in the daytime state.

Of course, this is only the appearance; the body is still empty inside.

But enough is enough.

That night, Chen Xin walked down the street, and no ghosts dared to approach him. Those ghosts who had previously walked alongside Chen Xin now slowly made way for him when they encountered him.

Chen Xin walked all the way to the front of the line.

This time, he didn't stop.

When they were halfway there, someone in front of them turned around and glanced at them before looking away.

Chen Xin's heart stirred, and he strode forward to catch up with the second group ahead.

The reason it's in the second tier is that tonight, another 'person' is about to ascend.

Soon, all the ghosts and spirits gathered around the area where the Yin Virtue Tree was located. It didn't take long for them to arrive.

Another huge hole appeared in the sky!
It's the same scene as before, but this time, it seems to be in a different city.

The voice appeared again after the 'person' flew into the large hole above.

"Upon accumulating perfect virtue, one can ascend to the underworld and be reborn as a human!"

Hearing the words "underworld" again stirred up a wave of emotion in Chen Xin's heart.

Will he be the one to ascend to heaven next?

What will happen after you ascend to that place?
With a troubled heart, Chen Xin followed the main group back.

For the next two days, Chen Xin followed the first group and obtained twenty Yin De leaves each time.

Although there were many more than before, the improvement for Chen Xin was not ideal.

To transform this last part into human form, it seems that at least tens of thousands of leaves of virtuous karma are needed.

At this rate, if one wants to fully transform into human form and ascend to the underworld, it would take at least five hundred nights.

Even if you continue to gain merit and convert it into silver, the effect of the merit tree leaves diminishes as the amount of silver increases.

Even if he were to gain another 50 million merits, it would still take Chen Xin more than 300 days to transform into human form.

This is too long.

Chen Xin didn't want to wait.

After separating his consciousness from the illusion, Chen Xin took out a stone with seven orifices.

This stone is also a turbid ghost sealed by the "Complete Book of Suppressing Objects".

Its effect is to grant others a seven-aperture stone heart. Once a person has a seven-aperture stone heart, they will be controlled by it and do what it wants them to do.

During this process, the controlled person will copy all the memories gained during the process into the Seven Aperture Stone Heart, waiting for the Seven Aperture Stone Heart to retrieve them.

Chen Xin used the Seven Aperture Stone Heart to bestow the Seven Aperture Stone Heart upon seven chosen ones and had them conduct research on the Gates of Hell.

Now that so much time has passed, I suppose I should have gained something.

After sensing the locations of the seven people, Chen Xin went to their respective positions.

……

Yunlong Tian has been staying at home lately, studying ancient books and searching for information that may be related to the objects that suppress the underworld.

He didn't even pay attention to things like the competition for titles in the underworld.

"What other books can I find relevant information in?" Yun Longtian frowned.

The books on his bookshelves were already worn out from being read so many times.

The database developed by the polling bureau contains so many books that you could never finish reading them all in a lifetime without filtering them.

Therefore, Yunlongtian has been conducting screening during this period.

But over time, after reviewing all the ones that needed filtering, there were too many unfiltered ones.

"Fine, let's broaden the filtering range a bit more..."

Yunlong Tian had no intention of giving up. It seemed that doing this was the most important thing at the moment, even if there was no result.

Suddenly, Yunlongtian froze.

A seven-colored light suddenly appeared on his chest. Soon, a ball of light shimmering with seven colors flew out from Yunlong Tianhou's heart and landed in the hands of Chen Xin, who had appeared at some unknown time.

Chen Xin looked at Yun Longtian, who was still standing there, smiled, and then disappeared.

After regaining his senses, Yunlong Tian suddenly had the idea of ​​taking a rest.

Once the idea took hold, it was impossible to stop.

He went to bed and fell asleep immediately.

While Yunlongtian was sleeping, a seven-colored radiance flowed from his heart. With each heartbeat, the radiance was pumped to all parts of his body, repairing and strengthening Yunlongtian's body.

At the same time, the other six chosen ones also put down their work and began to rest.

No one knows who they've been busy with these past few days for, nor does anyone know that they've exchanged knowledge for increased physical strength.

Even they themselves didn't know.

……

After obtaining the research results for seven people, Chen Xin began the integration process.

Seven-colored light sand began to flow from the seven holes of the Seven-Aperture Stone Heart.

The light sand, like seven intertwined and growing saplings, slowly burrowed towards Chen Xin's forehead and brow.

Even if Chen Xin controlled his speed, he couldn't quickly digest these memories.

It took Chen Xin a full half-day to digest this batch of knowledge.

Although knowledge gained in this way won't leave a deep impression and will be forgotten in ten days or half a month, it has to be said that it saves Chen Xin a lot of time.

If Chen Xin were to search for these materials himself, time would be an issue, and even finding them would be a problem.

Immediately, Chen Xin began to organize this suddenly added knowledge.

Once I started organizing, it took me until the next day!
However, the result was not as Chen Xin had hoped.

These materials contain many legends and records about how the ancients could intimidate and subdue evil spirits, but none of them could achieve the effect that Chen Xin wanted.

What Chen Xin wanted was for the Gates of Hell to open, so that all the evil spirits in the world would be subdued by the power of the Gates of Hell and sucked into them!
Of course, even if it's impossible to reach the entire 'world', a certain region will do.

But now, it seems that Chen Xin has no way to achieve this goal.

This left him somewhat disappointed.

If Yunlongtian and the others continue searching, they might make a discovery.

However, the timing is uncertain.

In fact, many parts of the seven people's memories overlapped, so by the end, they had basically searched for everything they could.

Continuing to research this area would require a disproportionate amount of time and effort.

Chen Xin is not going to wait any longer.

It's just the ability to absorb ghosts and spirits; there are many alternative methods available, and Chen Xin already has a plan in mind.

I just felt that I wouldn't give up until I gave it my all.

Without hesitation, he began compiling information about the town's long-planned artifacts.

……

At the same time, Wang Xingping also received a message that was to be delivered on the 9th.

Wang Xingping immediately went to Bao Lingqing's office.

Upon seeing Wang Xingping arrive, Bao Lingqing, brimming with pride, stood up.

"Xingping, is something wrong?"

Wang Xingping nodded.

"I received some information from the higher-ups in the underworld. Let's see if you have any thoughts on it, Director."

Bao Lingqing's eyes lit up.

"Sit down, tell me."

Ever since Wang Xingping's appearance caused Lingyuan City's status to rise dramatically, Bao Lingqing has been trying to do something to match Lingyuan City's current status.

Unfortunately, the opportunity has never come, or rather, there has never been anything big enough to match the current situation in Lingyuan City.

Now that Wang Xingping has arrived, and even brought inside information, it doesn't seem like a trivial matter at all.

"That's right, something special is about to be born in the underworld. Once that thing is born, if we can make something, the ghosts and monsters in Lingyuan City may no longer be a problem."

Bao Lingqing was stunned when she heard the news.

"No longer a problem?"

"Ah."

Suppressing his excitement, Bao Lingqing asked, "Can you tell me what that thing is?"

Wang Xingping nodded and said, "That thing is a door!"

"Door?"

"Yes, once opened, it can directly connect to the Netherworld."

Wang Xingping said with a complicated expression, "Unlike the Yin-Yang Rift, which appears with the presence of Yin energy and ghosts."

"But that door is exactly the opposite."

"After that door appears, it will directly absorb the yin energy in the mortal world and attract ghosts and spirits within a certain range to gather in the direction of the door."

"Then, underworld officials will guard the gate and send those ghosts to the prisons of the underworld, where they will either be tortured or thrown into some dark area."

"In other words, as long as our people can catch the ghosts and throw them into the designated area, those ghosts will be cleared away by that door!"

"Most importantly, when you throw ghosts into the door, a number will appear on the door. When that number reaches 200,000, we will get a chance to mend the rift between the underworld and the netherworld."

"Chief, do you know what this means?"

Bao Lingqing was stunned.

He knew, he certainly knew what that meant!
This means that Lingyuan City may very well become the only city in Great Xia without any ghosts or underworld rifts!

What kind of development opportunities will Ling Yuan City gain in this regard?
The second center of Daxia?
Bao Lingqing, I dare not even think about it!
Suppressing her excitement, Bao Lingqing stared intently at Wang Xingping.

"Xingping, tell me, how do you want it built, where do you want it built, and how do you want it built!"
