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

Chapter 127 Ghost Immortal, Kiln, Ghost and God Domain!

Tongxin County is located in the southern part of Wucheng, bordering Ganfu Huanxian County to the east and Gucheng City to the south. Yuzhen, where Yang Shuai's family lives, and Luoshan, where Baiyun Monk and Huixin practiced their cultivation, are located, are under the jurisdiction of Tongxin.

This small county has an extremely long history, dating back to the Xia and Zhou dynasties. It belonged to Yongzhou and has a complex geological structure and abundant paleontological fossil resources.

The so-called "digging for dragon bones" actually refers to digging up the fossils of these ancient creatures.

This is similar to the "treasure hunting" that was popular in the southern mountainous area of ​​Tongxin a few years ago, which is an illegal and criminal activity... However, with the continuous development of the social economy, the collection value and market value of paleontological fossils have continued to rise, which has also led many people to take risks.

Last year, a case of theft of "dragon bones" was cracked in Tongxin County, and 7.89 tons of "dragon bones" were seized.

"The entire village has turned into porcelain dolls?"

Yang Shuai exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be some powerful evil spirit at work? Like a porcelain ghost or something..."

Wang Lin: "Director Wei arrived at 4 a.m., and the specific situation is still unclear."

While eating the hand-shredded sea bass, Cat Lord said, "I have never heard of such strange ghosts and evil spirits... but this situation does sound somewhat similar to the [Ghost and God Realm]."

Wang Lin then looked at Chen Yang and asked, "What does Inspector Chen think?"

Chen Yang was staring at the system attribute panel.

[Your inspection of the mortal realm reveals that the [Ghostly Realm], which appeared ten years ago, has reappeared, its area of ​​influence expanded tenfold, causing tens of thousands to be turned to porcelain. After investigating the [Ghostly Realm] for many days, you discover that its source is a ghost immortal who escaped from the eighteenth level of hell. Having revived for ten years, its power has returned to the level of a ghost immortal. As the Daily Patrol Captain and Inspector of the Mortal World, how can you stand idly by?]

[Mission: Capture the Ghost Immortal and break the Ghost God's Domain]

[Task Rewards: Cultivation +10000, Ghost Immortal Thoughts*3, Magic Item: Netherworld Soul-Suppressing Brush.]

"Ghost Fairy..."

"The system's mention of 'ten years ago' must refer to the present... So that ghost immortal who escaped from the eighteenth level of hell must have just been revived and hasn't yet returned to the realm of ghost immortals, right?"

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Chen Yang said, "If it's as you described... then it should be a realm of ghosts and gods."

The Realm of Ghosts and Gods!

Wang Lin's expression changed!
He had heard of the realm of ghosts and spirits. Taoist texts described it as the "incomprehensible zone," meaning that its "rules" were strange and often incomprehensible.

For example, Taoist texts once recorded a "realm of ghosts and gods" called "Wuwang City".

This is a ghost town that appears every midnight. Anyone who enters the City of No Regrets and tells a lie, regardless of their cultivation level, will have their tongue disappear.

There is also a [realm of ghosts and gods] called [Fairy Island].

Any creature that sets foot on this island will gradually lose its male characteristics and gradually become female.

Is it possible...

The rule of that "Ghost and God Realm" in Tongxin County is that anyone who enters will turn into a porcelain doll.

When Wang Lin thought of this, he was startled.

Chen Yang said, "Give Director Wei and the others a call and tell them to be careful."

Wang Lin quickly dialed Wei Rufeng's cell phone, but no one answered after three or four tries. He then called Ma Lin, Lin Miao, He Wanzhong, and Cao Zepan in turn, and finally got through to Cao Zepan.

"Wang Lin!"

Cao Zepan, this burly "body cultivator," choked back tears as he asked, "Wang Lin, are you still in Helan Mountain? Have you seen Inspector Chen?"

"Quickly...quickly invite Inspector Chen here."

Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "What exactly happened? Why aren't Director Wei and the others answering their phones?"

Cao Zepan cried out, "Director Wei and the others have turned into porcelain dolls... When I was pulling them out with the rope, I accidentally dropped Marin on the ground... He broke one of his legs."

Wang Lin: "..."

Chen Yang was sitting next to them and could hear the phone call. He said, "As long as we break through that ghostly domain, they can be unfrozen. If we can glue his legs back on before they are unfrozen, we might still be able to save him."

Cao Zepan heard Chen Yang's voice, and was initially overjoyed, but then...

"Inspector Chen, but... Marin's right leg is completely shattered."

Chen Yang: "..."

Cao Zepan's voice weakened a few decibels as he stammered, "And his leg was broken from the top of his thigh... his pants and half of the basket were also broken."

"I'm afraid he'll try to kill me when he wakes up!"

At the dinner table, Chen Yang, Wang Lin, Yang Shuai, and Cat Master all remained silent.

After a long pause, Chen Yang said, "Otherwise, before he recovers from his petrification, you can stab him a few times. Remember to stab vital organs. Once his petrification is over, he will die and won't be able to fight you to the death."

Cao Zepan's eyes lit up.

But he quickly added, "What if he still won't let me go after he becomes a ghost? Inspector Chen, you're an expert in this area, is there any way to make him unable to even become a ghost?"

Hey!
Did this guy lose his brain while practicing body refinement?

hang up the phone.

After quickly finishing Gu Jinghui's "seventh-day memorial banquet," Chen Yang said, "Wang Lin, arrange a car; let's go to Tongxin."

Wang Lin arrived by car.

Chen Yang told Yang Shuai and Cat Master to go back and watch the shop, while he got into the car.

Wang Lin sped along the highway and arrived in Tongxin County at 3 p.m.

The village where the "realm of ghosts and gods" is located is called "Dingjiagou Village", which is located in Hexi Town, Tongxin County. The "river" in Hexi refers to the Qingshui River in Tongxin County.

The Qingshui River originates from Heici Gully on the eastern foothills of the Liupan Mountains. It is 320 kilometers long with a drainage area of ​​14481 square kilometers. It passes through Gucheng Yuanzhou District and three counties including Tongxin before finally flowing into the Yellow River. It is the largest and longest tributary of the Western Xia Prefecture that flows into the Yellow River, and it runs through the entire Tongxin County.

Tongxin County also has another name, "Half a City," because the Qingshui River once flooded and submerged half of the city.

After exiting the highway in Tongxin County, you need to cross a bridge on the way to "Hexi Town". The "Qingshui River" flows under the bridge.

After crossing the bridge, Chen Yang said, "Stop the car first, I'll go and find out what's going on." The River God of the Clear Water River is quite old, so perhaps he knows something about the ghostly realm of "Dingjiagou Village" and that "ghost immortal".

After all, he was a ghost immortal who had escaped from the eighteenth level of hell. Even though he had just been revived, Chen Yang dared not be careless.

The car stopped in the emergency lane at the bridgehead. Chen Yang and Wang Lin climbed over the guardrail, went down the slope, and arrived at the riverbank.

Surprisingly, there were a few fishermen by the river.

They were fully equipped, but their fishing skills seemed lacking; their fish baskets were empty.

Chen Yang replied, "Hey guys, fishing? Got a bite?"

Chen Yang, who used to be extremely fond of fishing but often came back empty-handed, felt a sense of relief upon seeing this situation.

Three fishermen looked over, and one of them, a young man who was about eighteen or nineteen years old but had a tanned face, said, "There are no fish in this hole... Hey, brother, you're here to fish too? Why didn't you bring any gear?"

Chen Yang said seriously, "Fishing is a skill. As long as you have the right technique, you can catch fish even with just a tree branch. If you don't have the right technique, what's the use of having a lot of equipment?"

"........."

Hey!
The three air force veterans felt that these words were a bit hurtful, and the young man was so angry that he laughed. He got up, casually tore off a willow branch about the thickness of a chopstick and two or three meters long, and threw it to Chen Yang, saying, "Are you bragging?"

"Come!"

"Let me see you catch one!"

"If you can catch fish with a stick, I'll eat shit while standing upside down!"

Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of what was about to happen, and joked, "Brother, no need to eat shit. It's fate that we met. I'll just give you a performance."

He glanced at the calm river surface, then casually flicked his wrist, sending the willow branch he was holding flying into the water.

Wow!

Before the willow branch even touched the river surface, the river broke open, and a crucian carp weighing about a pound jumped out of the river and bit the willow branch.

"Fuck!"

The three air force officers were completely dumbfounded.

Chen Yang shook the willow branch and said, "You see... as long as you have the skill, the fish will bite on their own."

As soon as he finished speaking, the river surface burst open with a series of splashes, and four fish leaped out of the water, biting the willow branch one after another.

"me……"

The young man slapped himself hard across the face, bewildered, and said, "I...I'm not dreaming?"

next moment.

He realized what was happening, his eyes lighting up as he exclaimed, "I know! You arranged for someone to hang fish on your hook, right? That's a trick those fishing streamers have been using for ages!"

Wang Lin thought to himself...

Hanging fish on the branches won't cause them to jump out of the river and bite the branches...

But Chen Yang smiled and said, "You guessed right... Niu Si, come out."

The second half of the sentence was directed at the river.

Wow!

The river surface broke open.

Niu Si, the River God of Qingshui River, emerged from the river and knelt down at Chen Yang's feet with a thud, loudly proclaiming, "Niu Si, the River God of Qingshui River, pays respects to the Inspector... Your Excellency, have you come today to inspect my work?"

I'm so bored, I came here to inspect your work!

Chen Yang inwardly scoffed, then cut to the chase: "Are you aware of the situation in Dingjiagou Village?"

"Is the Inspector General here because of that ghostly immortal in Dingjiagou Village?"

Upon hearing this, the River God understood Chen Yang's thoughts and explained, "That ghost immortal escaped to the mortal realm during the turmoil in the underworld. Since the path between Yin and Yang was cut off, he stayed in the mortal realm."

"Back then, Dingjiagou wasn't a village yet; it was just a gully... The Qingshui River happened to flow through there."

Even earlier, that place was a brick kiln.

An earthquake turned the kiln into ruins, burying many kiln workers who became vengeful spirits.

After that ghost immortal arrived here, he controlled those "kiln workers," causing them to do evil and harm the world... until more than six hundred years ago, when the spiritual energy of the world dissipated and the Great Dao withered, that ghost immortal suffered a backlash and fell into a deep sleep.

Many years later, several families with the surname "Ding" settled here. Over time, a village gradually formed, which is now known as "Dingjiagou" Village.

Now the remnant soul of that ghostly immortal has been revived.

The "kiln" that was buried underground by the earthquake was partially unearthed by a villager digging for "dragon bones"... thus forming this "Ghostly Realm"!
"Your Excellency, that ghost immortal has only just awakened and is nothing to you... I am willing to lend you a hand and help you capture that ghost immortal!"

soon.

Chen Yang and Wang Lin arrived at Dingjiagou Village.

The entire village has now been sealed off by the local government, with cordons erected all around to prevent any civilians from approaching... Even several unauthorized drones were shot down as soon as they got close.

As soon as the car reached the entrance of the village, police officers stopped it.

Wang Lin was allowed to pass only after showing his identification.

The car drove forward another hundred meters or so, and there were several large porcelain dolls neatly arranged under a big willow tree at the entrance of the village. The porcelain dolls were white and plump, about one meter tall, and looked exactly like Wei Rufeng, He Wanzhong, Lin Miao and Ma Lin.
