You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 126 Porcelain Doll!
Gu Jinghui had already condensed a Yin spirit before his death, and he died a violent car accident, so his spirit was already powerful after death.

Furthermore, having received an imperial decree and had his name entered into the register of the gods in the underworld, he became the mountain god of Helan Mountain. With the blessing of "divinity," his strength had already reached the "red-robed level."

Although he has not yet officially "climbed the mountain to take up his post," he can still easily "manifest" his spirit by borrowing some of the power of the Helan Mountain landscape.

Seeing that a relative had fainted from fright, Gu Jinghui wanted to explain.

But when Ruyi's voice came, he could only say, "Uncle, Uncle...Aunt, Aunt, don't be afraid...Yang Shuai, please help me take care of them."

Yang Shuai patted his chest and said, "Alright, hurry up and get ready... Don't you trust me to handle things?"

Watching Gu Jinghui run into the mountain gate, Yang Shuai turned around and said with a big smile, "Uncles, aunts and uncles, you are all Gu Jinghui's dearest relatives and loved ones. He must be very happy to be here today to attend his seventh-day memorial ceremony."

"Walk."

"Let's go in... After the ceremony, everyone remember to offer Gu Jinghui a couple more incense sticks."

Yang Shuai even considerately took the portrait from Gu Jianguo's hand: "Uncle Gu, let me take it... Uncle, didn't you explain to the relatives?"

The last question was asked in a low voice, close to Gu Jianguo's ear.

Gu Jianguo: Not yet.

Ma Xiulan chimed in, "Old Gu and I discussed it and decided to give them a surprise."

Yang Shuai wholeheartedly agreed: "That's how it should be... After all, not everyone's family can produce a celestial being..."

otherwise……

When I turn forty, I'll go back and have a celebration to show my face.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Yang Shuai smiled and said, "All of you uncles and aunts must be wondering how Gu Jinghui, who was killed in a car accident, could come back to life?"

Gu Jinghui's relatives all looked at Yang Shuai.

They were indeed very puzzled.

Yang Shuai said, "Actually, the Gu Jinghui you saw wasn't human."

"Could it be... that my cousin has become a ghost?"

Gu Jianguo's eldest nephew, Gu Jinghui's cousin, looked shocked, with undisguised surprise in his eyes.

So does everyone else.

In particular, several of Gu Jinghui's relatives brought their children, and the children's eyes were filled with curiosity!

Yang Shuai shook his head.

Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief... as long as it wasn't a ghost!

The people of Daxia have a natural fear of the existence of "ghosts," especially as they get older. Even if it is their closest relatives, if they suddenly become ghosts and come back after death, most people's first reaction will definitely be to be startled!
Ma Xiulan interrupted with a laugh, "Don't make wild guesses... My Huihui is very lucky. After he died and became a ghost, he used his connections to get an imperial decree from the underworld and became the mountain god of Helan Mountain. This temple was built for him by the state."

He spoke with great enthusiasm and pride.

The relatives and friends present stared at each other in disbelief.

"no……"

Uncle Gu Jinghui was somewhat incredulous: "Jianguo, what... what's going on? You haven't been scammed by someone, have you?"

After death, you become a ghost...

Although it sounds ridiculous, it's still acceptable!

But what kind of ghost is this imperial decree from the underworld?

Gu Jianguo laughed and pointed at the mountain god temple, saying, "I'm just an ordinary person, who could set up such a big operation to fool me... Alright, let's go in first, don't keep Huihui waiting."

A large group of relatives were in a daze, feeling as if it were all a dream!
Led by Yang Shuai, the group entered the mountain god temple.

Because it is not yet completed, most of the buildings of the mountain god temple, except for the "main hall", have only had their foundations laid and a very small part built. In fact, even the main hall was only topped off last night and is not truly finished.

The main hall door has not yet been installed.

Inside the open hall stands a 3-meter-tall human-shaped statue.

Gu Jianguo and his wife learned last night that the government was building a temple and erecting a statue for their son, but they hadn't seen the actual object yet, so they immediately looked at the face of the statue.

"Miss!"

"Look!"

Ma Xiulan grabbed her sister's arm and exclaimed excitedly, "This is Huihui's statue...it's exactly the same!"

"........."

Gu's relatives and friends were once again shocked!

God... a statue?
Is it possible...

Is all this true?
The children, with their sharp eyes, pointed next to the statue of Gu Jinghui and exclaimed, "Mommy, look! There's another cat statue..."

"ah!"

"That cat looks exactly like a cat... What is it doing?"

That's Cat Master.

Because it was rushed to completion, the craftsmanship of the Cat God statue was not as refined as Gu Jinghui's; in fact, it could be described as quite rough.

In addition, because it was "borrowed" from incense offerings, its statue is only one meter tall.

At this moment, the cat was holding a small hammer in its left paw and a small chisel in its right paw. It had picked up a large stone from somewhere and was carving it at lightning speed.

Soon, the outline of a cat appeared.

Cat Master used a chisel to tap and strike, sometimes taking two steps back to examine it, and then continuing to tap and strike, his movements and expressions just like those of a highly skilled sculptor.

but……

Why is this cat a little chubby?
And his mouth and eyes are crooked?

Cat Master: "..."

He silently put down his hammer and chisel and said, "Although the version I carved myself is better, it takes more effort to polish the details. Since the auspicious time has arrived, let's use the first version."

"........."

Chen Yang was speechless.

Don't you have any idea how abstract your own sculptures are?

Chen Yang glanced at Gu Jinghui, who floated in, and asked, "Old Gu, are you ready?"

"It's my first time being a mountain god, so I'm a little nervous," Gu Jinghui said. "Old Chen, what are the steps and etiquette for my mountain god ceremony? Maybe I should learn it first?"

"The Ceremony of Yarn".

Chen Yang said, "I've already conferred the title and your statue is finished. Just go inside... Why go through all this trouble?"

As for today's banners, auspicious time, and ceremony, they were all just things that Yang Shuai put together.

Before Gu Jinghui could react, Chen Yang kicked him, sending him flying into the air and crashing into the statue!

puff!
Gu Jinghui's "body" was smashed to pieces and turned into a cloud of yin energy.

Amidst the yin energy, Gu Jinghui exclaimed in surprise, "Huh... How amazing! This statue feels to me... just like my own physical body!"

With a thought.

The yin energy that Gu Jinghui transformed into completely penetrated into the statue.

At that moment, he felt as if his soul had returned to his body. He tried to raise his hand... and the three-meter-tall metal statue also raised its hand.

He tried to take a step, and the statue followed suit.

boom!
With that step, the ground trembled violently, startling Gu Jinghui, who quickly withdrew his foot.

He slowly opened his eyes...

The statue then opened its eyes, and divine light shone from them!

Gu Jinghui looked into the distance and discovered that his "vision" could see very, very far, encompassing the entire Helan Mountain range... No, wait!
There is another region!
That place was once shrouded in murky mist, and now it has expanded to an area of ​​2 kilometers in radius.

"Is this the turbid tide and mist that Chen Yang mentioned?"

Gu Jinghui carefully "sensed" and found that the area where the turbid mist was located was murky. The power and the Great Dao contained therein were extremely evil, dirty and filthy. Just a slight sense of it made him feel disgusted!

The true nature of that "other immortal's" power may not be like this, but since it came from outside the Three Realms, its "Dao" is incompatible with the Dao of the Three Realms, which naturally gives Gu Jinghui this feeling!

"You sensed that power?"

Chen Yang said, "After you become the mountain god, your main responsibility is to suppress the turbid mist deep in Helan Mountain and prevent it from spreading further. If you do a good job, promotion and a raise in the future will not be a problem."

Gu Jinghui's golden statue spoke, chuckling, "Rest assured, I can now mobilize the power of the entire Helan Mountain. This mere turbid tide can be suppressed with a mere flick of my wrist."

Yang Shuai and Cat Master stepped forward and offered their congratulations.

Next were Li Ali and Ruyi. After congratulating Gu Jinghui, Ruyi gave him a tattered yellow paper doll. The paper doll was crudely made, with a big head and short arms and legs, but it contained a peculiar power.

"I found this paper doll at the ghost market. It is said to have been made by a ghost king who is very skilled in paper cutting. It can carry the power of a soul and be used as an incarnation."

Gu Jinghui declined slightly, saying, "No, this is too precious, I can't accept it."

Although Ruyi was a bit of a "little miser," she knew that gifts given out couldn't be taken back. She insisted, so Gu Jinghui had no choice but to accept them.

At this moment, Wang Lin rushed over.

He rushed into the main hall, panting, and said, "Inspector Chen, Mountain God Gu, am I not late?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Lin took out a stone seal and said, "Today is the seventh day after the death of Gu Shanshen, and it is also the big day for you to climb the mountain to take up your post. Our Director Wei originally planned to bring all the combat members of the Xixia Branch to Helan Mountain to offer incense to Gu Shanshen, but a case came up this morning and we really couldn't find the time."

"Director Wei asked me to represent the Xixia Branch to present a congratulatory gift to God Gu: a 'Mountain-Suppressing Seal'!"

"The Mountain-Suppressing Seal?"

Cat Master clicked his tongue in admiration: "It seems the Special Administration Bureau has really unearthed and collected quite a few treasures... This [Mountain Suppressing Seal], like the Soul-Locking Chain and the Mourning Staff, is a standard magical artifact of the [Mountain God]. With this Mountain Suppressing Seal, the Mountain God's strength can be increased by at least 30%!"

"The Mountain God's Magic Treasure!"

Gu Jinghui was overjoyed. He controlled the golden statue to accept the "Mountain-Suppressing Seal" and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang. Please pass on my thanks to Director Wei."

Wang Lin said in a panic, "Mountain God Gu, you must not address me like that... I am just an ordinary mortal, how can I be sworn brothers with Mountain God Gu!"

Hey!
Life is unpredictable!
Gu Jinghui couldn't help but recall the scene when he first met Wang Lin. At that time, even Captain Su had to treat Wang Lin with respect, and the police officers of the Criminal Investigation Division regarded Wang Lin, this expert of the "special department," as a god-like existence!

If it weren't for Chen Yang's connection, I'm afraid that even a lowly police officer like myself would have had a hard time catching Wang Lin's eye.

Now, however, the situation has reversed.

I'm afraid that in Wang Lin's eyes, I am just like the young police officer from the Criminal Investigation Department saw Wang Lin back then.

Gu Jinghui said, "Then I'll call you Xiao Wang... Thank you for making this trip. Remember to thank Director Wei for me when you get back."

But outside the main hall, a completely different scene unfolded.

When Gu Jinghui's relatives saw the three-meter-tall "deity statue" move, they were petrified!
It wasn't until Gu Jianguo reminded everyone to offer incense to their son that the crowd realized what was happening.

Everyone stepped forward and offered incense one by one.

Cat Master reminded them from the other end, "Family members, don't forget to light an incense stick for me too."

Chen Yang observed carefully.

He saw wisps of incense power, invisible to the naked eye, rise up and eventually enter Gu Jinghui's "golden statue." Gu Jinghui's soul absorbed this incense power, and his soul power slowly increased!

Unlike the "spirit" of Cat Lord, who is worshipped and offered sacrifices by the people, Gu Jinghui, after being appointed as the mountain god of Helan Mountain, can not only absorb the power of incense to strengthen himself, but also cultivate on his own!

If there is enough incense offering, the "turbid tide" of Helan Mountain can be easily suppressed.

Chen Yang also lit an incense stick.

Unfortunately, it did not generate any incense offerings.

This is normal.

The power of incense is generated by the people's worship and belief in "gods", and Chen Yang himself is a "god"!
The group didn't descend the mountain until noon.

Gu Jianguo and his wife dragged Chen Yang, Yang Shuai, Ruyi, Li Ali, Wang Lin, and Cat Master to the hotel.

At the dinner table, Yang Shuai asked curiously, "Little Wang..."

"You said earlier that there was another big case, and Director Wei and the others went to investigate... What exactly is the case?"

Yang Shuai picked up a piece of beef and took a deep sniff. Immediately, several wisps of "white vapor" rose up and entered his mouth and nose.

"This braised beef is delicious!"

After praising him, Yang Shuai added, "If you encounter anything difficult, don't be afraid. Just say the word, and I'll help you solve it."

Wang Lin: "Then I'll thank you in advance, Ghost Messenger Yang."

It turns out that this "case" happened in a village in Tongxin County.

A villager in this village discovered "dragon bones" in his field. He went to steal and dig them up, but died that very night.

His body turned into porcelain, and it would shatter at the slightest touch!
Since then, strange things have been happening in the village. Until yesterday, the village was completely shrouded by a force, and all the villagers turned into porcelain dolls overnight!
