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

Chapter 128 My Inspector is Kind-hearted!
The big willow tree is located at the entrance of Dingjiagou Village, on the edge of the "realm of ghosts and gods".

Cao Zepan was sitting under the big willow tree.

Upon seeing Wang Lin's car, he immediately jumped up from the ground, his robust body moving like a gust of wind to the side of the car. Before Chen Yang could get out, he said, "Inspector Chen, you've finally arrived!"

Chen Yang pushed open the car door and got out.

He looked towards Dingjiagou Village ahead and saw some "porcelain dolls" at the village entrance.

Judging from their appearance, they were probably police officers who wanted to enter the village to investigate, but they were turned to porcelain as soon as they went in. There was even a dog and a few cats that were also turned to porcelain, still in a forward-moving posture.

There are still many broken pieces of porcelain at the entrance of the village.

Chen Yang asked, "What's the deal with those broken porcelain shards?"

Cao Zepan: "It was some birds. The moment they flew into the village, their bodies were porcelainized. They fell from the sky and shattered. Director Wei and his team had already conducted experiments before entering the village. Any living thing, whether it is a bird, a beast, or an insect, will be porcelainized as soon as it enters the village."

However, the rate of vitrification differs.

Larger animals would only be porcelainized after entering the village from a distance of more than ten meters, while smaller birds and insects would be porcelainized even faster. As for the police officers, they would only be completely porcelainized after entering the village from a distance of more than twenty meters.

Ma Lin, Lin Miao, He Wanzhong, and Wei Rufeng experienced a slower rate of porcelainization.

Chen Yang arrived under the big willow tree and carefully examined the four porcelain dolls that Wei Rufeng and the others had turned into.

The porcelain dolls all wore expressions of terror, as if they had "seen" something horrific. One of the porcelain dolls, Marin, had its leg shattered at the base.

However, Cao Zepan has already repaired it.

He mixed mud and used it to make a leg for Marin.

Not to mention...

The leg shaping is quite good. After all, he is a body-refining martial artist, and his control is far beyond that of ordinary people. However, his technique may be lacking, and he is a bit lacking in the details.

Wang Lin asked in surprise, "Why didn't you make it bigger?"

Cao Zepan scratched his head: "But Marin... isn't it only this big?"

"........."

Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing Wang Lin and Cao Zepan looking over, he immediately straightened his face. He circled the four porcelain dolls once, and then an idea struck him...

Wow!
A cold wind blew out from between his brows!
Chen Yang's soul split, and a wisp of his divine thought entered the space between the eyebrows of the porcelain doll that Marin had transformed into!
"Good heavens, after the flesh and blood were vitrified, they became even harder than rock!"

As his divine sense entered Marin's brow, Chen Yang couldn't help but sigh... Of course, the "hardness" here doesn't refer to physical hardness; otherwise, Marin, who had transformed into a porcelain doll, wouldn't have shattered his leg.

Rather, it is something that divine sense cannot penetrate!
Those who frequently encounter ghosts know that ghosts can easily pass through walls and burrow underground, just like the spirits and thoughts of humans.

Especially when one's cultivation reaches Chen Yang's level, with a thought, one's Yin spirit can leave the body and go to heaven and earth... But at this moment, he felt that the porcelain doll that Marin had turned into was "incredibly hard", and even his divine soul power had to exert all its strength to "drill" through it!

"Flesh and blood, bones... even the brain was porcelainized!"

The realm of demons and gods... what exactly is this power?
Bizarre rules?

The rules are actually the "Great Dao"... Are the strange rules of the ghost and god realm a kind of alienation or a corrupted version of the Great Dao?

brush!
Chen Yang's divine sense directly entered Ma Lin's "Niwan Palace" and saw Ma Lin's "Yin Spirit".

Just as Chen Yang had predicted, the "strange rules" of this realm of ghosts and gods only apply to living flesh and blood and do not affect the "Yin spirits". However, the "Yin spirits" of Ma Lin and He Wanzhong were too weak. Once their bodies were porcelainized, their Yin spirits were trapped in the Niwan Palace and they could not "leave their bodies".

Although he couldn't "leave his body," Marin's spirit did not become porcelain.

He can clearly sense everything in the outside world.

When Chen Yang entered his "Mud Palace," he was swearing and cursing Cao Zepan.

"Thief Cao!"

"I'll fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations!!!"

"When I get out of here, I'll definitely kill you, you bastard!"

"Master Chen!"

Upon seeing Chen Yang, Ma Lin's spirit immediately rushed over, kneeling on the ground and wailing, "Master Chen, save me! I'm still young, not married yet, that thing can't just disappear like this!"

"This is worse than death!"

Both of them are currently in a "yin spirit" state, which makes communication easier.

Chen Yang sighed: "Marin, you know... I'm in charge of the dead. You living people aren't my responsibility. If you have any injuries to your soul, or even if you died before your lifespan was over, I can help you come back to life and prolong your life. But I'm helpless when it comes to injuries like severed limbs."

They are all young people.

Chen Yang could understand Marin's feelings very well... This situation was indeed worse than death!

"Maybe I should just give up!"

Ma Lin gritted his teeth and said, “Master Chen, after you leave, smash me to pieces… When I become a ghost, I will come to you for help, and I hope you can give me an official position then.”

"Your lifespan hasn't ended yet, I dare not use you."

Chen Yang said, "Moreover, the appearance of most ghosts is related to their experiences in life, such as the ghost of someone who hanged themselves, or the headless ghost... If you die looking like this... I'm afraid you'll become a ghost like this too."

Hey!
Cao Zepan, I'll fuck you!

Marin roared.

Chen Yang comforted him, saying, "A real man's head will only leave a scar the size of a bowl if he loses it. What's a mere two or three inches? Tell me what you encountered when you entered the village."

"Ghosts...so many ghosts!"

When this matter was mentioned, a look of horror appeared in Marin's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "After we entered the village, we saw ghosts!"

"They tied me up and threw me into a kiln for firing porcelain. They roasted me over a raging fire and eventually turned me into a porcelain doll."

"Oh?"

Chen Yang's heart skipped a beat.

The experience described by Ma Lin is different from what Cao Zepan saw.

According to Cao Zepan, he saw Wei Rufeng, Ma Lin, He Wanzhong and Lin Miao walk into Dingjia Village, their pace slowing down. After walking a few dozen steps, they began to "porcelainize" and gradually turned into porcelain dolls.

"It seems the realm of ghosts and gods is more powerful than I imagined..."

After briefly understanding the situation, Chen Yang said, "You stay inside the body for now. I'll go take a look around the Ghost and God Realm and see if I can find a solution." He was about to leave with a thought when Ma Lin said, "Master Chen... please wait."

He stammered, then asked, "Master Chen, if you break through the Ghost and God Domain, will we be able to come back to life?"

Chen Yang: "It should be fine."

Marin: "Then... can I use my mud-made leg?"

Chen Yang wasn't sure either, so he didn't say anything too definitive: "Maybe it can be used."

If the clay legs can be used... then maybe the "tools" can be used too. Anyway, things have come to this point, so we can only try anything.

Marin was a little embarrassed and said, "Master Chen, after you go out, could you please tell Cao Zepan for me... just tell him to help me make that thing bigger and harder?"

"Ha ha!"

Chen Yang chuckled twice, then transformed into a wisp of yin wind, blowing out from Marin's "porcelain body".

When Cao Zepan relayed Ma Lin's request, Cao Zepan readily agreed.

Wang Lin then asked, "Master Chen, is there any hope for Director Wei and the others?"

Whether it will be useful or not, we'll have to find out after testing.

Chen Yang looked at Niu Si and said, "The strange rules of this ghost and god realm do not affect the human soul and spirit, so they are probably useless against ghosts... Niu Si, go and find the master of this ghost and god realm, and tell him that if he surrenders, I can spare his life!"

After all, he was a ghost immortal who escaped from the eighteenth level of hell to the human world. Even if only a remnant soul remained, he was not so easy to deal with.

The entire village of Dingjiagou, with its 1800 residents and livestock, has been porcelainized. If the commotion is too big, it could affect many people. If we can negotiate, we should do so first.

Niu Si accepted the order and strode towards Dingjia Village.

As he entered the realm of ghosts and gods, Niu Si felt dizzy and disoriented, and in a moment of confusion, the world had changed drastically.

The original village has disappeared, replaced by a large ditch with murky water flowing through it, and next to the ditch is a huge brick kiln.

The sun in the sky also disappeared.

Day turned into night.

The kiln was brightly lit, with torches burning everywhere. Flames soared into the sky from the kiln, and kiln workers toiled hard, shirtless. Other kiln workers carried fired ceramic pieces out of the kiln and neatly arranged them on the open ground outside.

"This is……"

"What was the scene like back when the kiln was still buried underground before it was destroyed by the earthquake?"

Niu Si was startled.

Rivers are not static. For example, the Yellow River has changed its course 26 times in history, including 6 large-scale changes that had a significant impact!
The Qingshui River used to flow through this place. As the River God of the Qingshui River, Niu Si naturally saw the scene when this kiln was in operation, which is exactly the same as what we see now, and even the surrounding landform is the same as it was back then.

But when he looked closer, he discovered...

All of this is just an illusion!
Those kiln workers are long dead.

They all turned into vengeful ghosts, their bodies shrouded in yin energy, mechanically repeating the process of firing kilns and making porcelain back then. Each of the overseers held a leather whip, was tall, and had a strong yin energy about them.

Snapped!
A leather whip lashed out at a kiln worker, and the overseer yelled, "You dog! Are you trying to get yourself killed by dawdling like that?"

"Hurry up... This batch of ceramics is to be offered to the Scattered Calamity Ghost Immortal. If the deadline is missed and it affects the Scattered Calamity Ghost King's mood, you dogs will all die!"

Snapped!
The whip lashed down hard, causing the kiln workers to emanate a chilling aura.

But the kiln workers knew nothing of resistance; they simply fired porcelain mechanically, numbly repeating their work. Most of them worked shirtless, thin and bony, as if they had never had a full meal.

Niu Si was a poor man in his day, and he died without ever getting married. He knew all too well how terrible such a life of poverty could be.

He was the "River God" back then, and he witnessed all of this...

But he has no right to interfere in matters concerning the living.

Now that these kiln workers and supervisors have all turned to ghosts, Niu Si might be able to keep an eye on them!
"stop!"

He shouted and strode towards the brickyard.

"Ok?"

The overseer turned to look.

His face was contorted with malice, and his body was filled with a dense aura of yin energy. His strength had already reached the level of a red-robed figure. He sneered and said, "Who are you? Who gave you the audacity to meddle in our affairs?"

"Do you know that this is the territory of the Vengeful Ghost Immortal?"

Snapped!
The overseer flicked his whip, creating a blur of motion as it lashed out at Niu Si.

Si Niu sneered and pointed—

Wow!

A water arrow appeared, knocking the overseer away.

"who?"

"How dare you... cause trouble in the territory of the Vengeful Ghost Immortal?"

In an instant, a group of fierce ghost overseers surrounded them from all sides, along with a group of ghost soldiers wielding clubs, knives, and spears. They had once been the guards of this kiln!

In just a few breaths, they had surrounded Niu Si.

Niu Si, however, remained completely unperturbed.

His gaze swept over the porcelain pieces, and he noticed that they were all made from the people and livestock of Dingjiagou Village. His heart sank, and he said coldly, "A bunch of evil spirits! How dare you use people and animals as materials to make paper porcelain!"

"listen!"

"I am the River God of the Clear Water River. I have come here on the orders of my Inspector to warn the Scattered Calamity Ghost Immortal... Scattered Calamity Ghost Immortal, your escape from prison to the mortal realm is a capital offense. Now you are causing havoc in the mortal realm. You are simply audacious!"

"My lord, the Inspector, is kind-hearted. Considering how difficult it was for you to cultivate to the Ghost Immortal realm, if you surrender and submit obediently, my lord may spare your life!"

………………

PS: We couldn't get the baby discharged because the jaundice level was too high, reaching a maximum of 21.6. So we transferred the baby from the obstetrics department to the pediatrics department. Today was another busy afternoon. The baby, who is only 5 days old, was taken for an ultrasound, blood test, and phototherapy. It was really tough!
