Uncle Jiu: I am Chen Yulou, the leader of the Xiangling gang

Chapter 47, Ghost Soldier - Leather Umbrella
About a quarter of an hour later, as Qiu Sheng continued to recite the Xuanyun Mantra, a dark and gloomy aura covered the entire backyard.

Chen Yulou, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing and waiting quietly for the end of the salvation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the two spirit babies.

At some point, two figures appeared beside them.

They were dressed in black ghost uniforms, with ghost orders hanging around their waists. One ghost held a soul-binding chain, while another held a soul-beating whip.

Qiu Sheng also saw the two ghosts and recognized them immediately. After all, Uncle Jiu had performed a salvation for them before. So Qiu Sheng immediately stood up and saluted the two ghosts, saying, "My humble servant greets you two gods!"

Seeing Chen Yulou still sizing up the two ghost soldiers, Qiu Sheng quickly turned his head and whispered, "Junior brother, this is the Soul Binding Lord!"

The so-called Soul-Binding God is a ghost catcher. In fact, a ghost catcher is not worthy of the title of God, but he still needs to know the ways of the world.

Chen Yulou understood what he said and immediately bowed to the two ghosts and said, "Greetings, two gods!"

The two ghosts looked at Qiu Sheng in silence, but when they saw Chen Yulou, they immediately looked at each other in surprise. They hurriedly bowed to Chen Yulou and said in return, "You are too polite, Taoist! It turns out that you are the Taoist who is saving the souls of the dead. I will take them back to the underworld now!"

Seeing the ghost soldier return the gift, not only Qiu Sheng was stunned, but even Chen Yulou was stunned.

Afterwards, the ghost holding the soul-binding chain threw it at the two spirit babies, locking them up. They looked at Chen Yulou again and disappeared. As the ghost left, the dark aura that enveloped the entire backyard also disappeared in an instant.

Qiu Sheng suddenly realized, "No wonder the ghost returned the gift to you, Junior Brother. It must be because you accepted the reward!"

"I even saw a ghost official-level Yinchao saluting to Master before. Master seemed to say it was because he was a Taoist priest of Shoulu!"

"Not to mention that you, my junior brother, have received the fifth-grade Zi Lu!" Qiu Sheng looked at Chen Yulou with envy.

At the same time, he also made up his mind that he must work hard to practice Taoism and strive to receive the reward. After all, the ghost just ignored him and gave a gift to Chen Yulou in return, which really made him depressed.

Chen Yulou understood immediately.

When a Taoist priest receives a certificate, it is equivalent to being put on land and becoming a quasi-civil servant. There is no other way around it, because Maoshan is part of the Zhengyi sect, and the background of the Zhengyi sect in heaven and hell is something that other Taoist branches cannot even catch up with.

In addition, the Zhengyi Dao's talismans were issued in the name of the Most High, so the recipients were very authoritative. In later generations, they were equivalent to the national red selected students.

When his merits were fulfilled, he ascended to heaven in broad daylight and became a civil servant.

If one's merits and deeds are not good enough, he may go to the underworld to serve as a ghost god.

At the very least, you can be reborn into a good family and enjoy wealth and glory in the next life, or continue your journey and strive for the opportunity to reach shore.

Of course, one must not break the precepts or violate the laws of heaven and the underworld, otherwise one will easily be placed under double supervision. In the lighter case, one will be exiled and sent to the animal realm. In the heavier case, one will be struck by thunder and reduced to ashes, or sent to the eighteen levels of hell, suffering the pain of hell forever, with no chance of escape, and the pain is unbearable.

Suddenly, Chen Yulou looked at Qiu Sheng curiously and asked, "Brother, you just said that the ghost officials saluted Master. Are ghost officials different from ghost soldiers?"

Uncle Jiu hasn't told him some basic knowledge about Heaven and Hell yet. Of course, after all, he has been his disciple for too short a time, so he hasn't had time to tell him.

"Of course it's different!" Qiu Sheng nodded immediately.

Then, he looked at Chen Yulou and explained, "Both ghost soldiers and ghost officials are ghost messengers, but there are four ranks of ghost messengers, with the lowest being ghost soldiers. My master said that ghost soldiers in the underworld are generally selected from the souls of the dead. These souls basically came from the military in the human world. As long as they were not extremely evil in their lifetime, they might be selected as ghost soldiers after death and no longer suffer the pain of reincarnation."

"And above the ghost soldiers are the ghost soldiers. They are promoted from ghost soldiers. Ghost soldiers generally do not restrict souls. Unless there are a large number of evil ghosts killing living beings together and the ghost soldiers are unable to deal with them, ghost soldiers will be led by higher-level ghost messengers and appear in the human world!"

"Above the ghost soldiers are the ghost officials. They are only one step away from becoming the ninth-grade Yin Gods, the true Yin Gods of the underworld."

"I heard from my master that in China, every place has its own mountain gods, river gods, and land gods, including famous mountains, rivers, and lakes. Once a god in a certain place desecrates his duties and violates the laws of heaven and the underworld, he will be replaced by a qualified ghost official." "The fourth level is the true Yin God, but my master said that unless there is a natural disaster, the true Yin God of the underworld will not easily come to the human world!"

Ghost pawn!

Ghost soldier!

Ghost official!

Yin God!

Chen Yulou immediately showed a look of sudden enlightenment, then he looked at Qiu Sheng and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior brother, for clearing up my confusion!"

Qiu Sheng immediately shook his head and smiled, "I only heard about it from Master, so I only know the basics. If you want to know more, just go back and ask Master."

Chen Yulou nodded immediately.

"Oh right, Junior Brother, I found these things from that demon's corpse!"

Qiu Sheng quickly took out a bunch of things from his bag and placed them on the wooden table next to him.

Chen Yulou immediately became interested, after all, this was his first time to loot a bag.

A small umbrella!
A peach wood sword!

A needle!

Three bottles of pills!

A purse!
Two ancient books!

"That's all!" Qiu Sheng looked at Chen Yulou and said.

Chen Yulou nodded slightly and picked up the small umbrella. It was only the size of a palm. The handle and frame were probably made of sandalwood. Each sandalwood umbrella strip was equipped with a small gun that flashed with cold light, and the top of the umbrella was equipped with a gun made of similar material, but several times larger, which also flashed with cold light. As for the umbrella cloth, it was black leather, covered with dense, invisible golden talismans.

"This looks like a magic weapon, but could this umbrella cloth be made of human skin?" Qiu Sheng said hesitantly.

Chen Yulou was stunned. After all, it was not surprising that a demon like Wang Si made his magic weapon with human skin and bones.

Then, he touched it and immediately shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be human skin. Human skin is very smooth and elastic, but this leather looks very rough and not very elastic. It looks like wild boar skin!"

Hearing that it was not made of human skin, Qiu Sheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, even if it was a magic weapon, if it was made of human skin, it would definitely have to be burned. They were a famous and upright sect, and if others knew that they used human skin as a magic weapon, it would be no trivial matter.

The next moment, Chen Yulou circulated the Qi in his body and injected it into the leather umbrella. The umbrella cloth immediately opened up and instantly became more than four or five times larger, becoming the size of a normal umbrella.

When Qiu Sheng saw this scene, he was immediately surprised and said, "It really is a magical weapon, and it can be big or small. The grade of this magical weapon is definitely not low!"

"But this doesn't look like an offensive weapon, does it?"

Chen Yulou nodded upon hearing this and said, "It should be a defensive magic weapon, but it also looks like it has the ability to attack!"

As the leather umbrella grew larger, the gun on the top of the umbrella naturally grew larger as well, reaching a length of twenty to thirty centimeters. The twenty-four small guns on the umbrella frame also grew to a length of five to six centimeters.
