"If you have the ability, come back to life in seven days. I have Huang Daogong's blessing. How could I be afraid of you?!"

Wencai glared back at the female leader, showing no fear.

This is what it means to have faith in your heart, so you don’t have to be afraid of demons and monsters!

Uncle Jiu looked at the female leader who had died and breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally wiped out the entire group of horse thieves.

"Long live Huang Daogong!!"

The security team members and a group of young men were stunned for a while, then came to their senses and excitedly sang praises to Huang Daogong.

Even if they were fools, they would have guessed that the sudden thunder and lightning must have been the work of Huang Daogong.

God's eyes are as fast as lightning!

Huang Daogong had been watching their every move from the sky. Seeing that the female leader was about to escape, he deliberately sent down thunder to cleanse the sins of the world.

I'm back from eating, and will resume updating tomorrow!!

Chapter 87: Aftermath, Soul-stealing, Execution First, Report Later, Recruiting Soldiers, and Human Evil

"I have to trouble Lord Cui again to approve a note!!"

In the main god space, Huang Dao clenched his palms and extinguished the image of the horse thieves in his palms. He shook his head, looked at the sky that was about to dawn, thought for a moment, and called Taoist Qianhe over.

"Sir, what do you want from me?"

Taoist Qianhe quickly got into character, and now that he had positioned himself correctly, he quickly stepped in and respectfully bowed to Huang Dao.

"The security team and young militiamen of Renjia Town bravely fought against the bandits to protect their homeland. Their contributions are invaluable. As the landowner of Renjia Town, I cannot let these brave men shed blood and tears without rewarding them."

Huang Dao said solemnly, "I intend to recruit these fallen warriors as ghost messengers. You should lead your men to bring back their souls."

For him, physical death is not true death; the true death is the scattering of the soul and the annihilation of the body and spirit.

So the militiamen who died fighting against the horse bandits seemed to be dead, but they were able to be reborn, no less than before.

As long as they are diligent and capable after becoming ghost messengers and accumulate good karma, they can be reborn into a good family and enjoy happiness in the future thanks to their good karma.

Isn't this a reward?

Of course, his jurisdiction was expanding rapidly, and the number of Yincha under his command was small, making it difficult for them to take care of so many territories, so recruiting soldiers was necessary.

And this group of fearless militiamen from Renjia Town are the most suitable candidates to be the ghost messengers.

"Yes!"

Taoist Qianhe's face became solemn. He bowed solemnly to accept the order, slowly retreated, and took a group of ghosts to the ambush site to collect the soul.

Among the woods.

"Uncle Jiu, I'm going back to recuperate. I'll leave this place to you."

Ah Wei lay on the stretcher, grinning. Uncle Jiu nodded and said, "Don't worry about your injuries. I'll take care of the rest."

"Uncle Jiu, thank you for your help."

Awei "Babaqi" lay peacefully on the stretcher, groaning, and was carried back to the town for treatment.

"Come here, carry the wounded and the bodies back to the government office. The injured will be treated and the dead will be buried!"

Because Awei was bravely injured, the task of cleaning up the mess fell on Uncle Jiu.

"Master, what should we do as survivors?"

Qiu Sheng, who was safe and sound and relaxed, couldn't help but make a funny move.

Uncle Jiu glared at him and said in a bad tone: "Those who are alive will die!"

"……Well."

Qiu Sheng shut up angrily.

Wencai covered his mouth and laughed secretly. Finally, this time he was not the one being scolded.

Copying the "Tao Te Ching" for so many days has made him learn his lesson and he no longer speaks without thinking like before.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew in the woods, making everyone shiver.

Uncle Jiu's eyes narrowed, realizing that there was something wrong with this sudden gust of cold wind. He was afraid that the horse thief would come back to life and become a ghost to seek revenge.

He quickly took off the willow-leaf Bagua mirror from his waist and opened his Yin-Yang eyes to check, only to see Taoist Qianhe, dressed in a dark uniform, leading a group of ghost messengers to retrieve the souls of those who died in battle.

It turns out to be a ghost that is trying to seduce the soul!!

Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Taoist Qianhe looked over as if he had noticed something, and exchanged glances with Uncle Jiu. With a smile on his face, he made hand gestures and saluted Uncle Jiu from a distance, just as he did when he was alive.

Uncle Jiu looked a little dazed, sighed secretly, and returned the greeting.

“Something’s going on!!”

Wencai and Qiu Sheng saw Uncle Jiu's sudden action, looked at each other, and realized that something had happened.

The two of them immediately took out the yellow talisman, rubbed it and wiped their eyes, opened their Yin-Yang eyes to check the situation, but when they opened their eyes and looked over, they only saw a ghost in black clothes and a group of dead souls of militiamen stepping into the tragic fog and disappearing.

"Wow, the evil spirit is bewitching!!"

The two of them exclaimed, causing the others who were cleaning up the mess to look at each other in shock and confusion.

"What a fuss."

Uncle Jiu glared at the two of them, then explained to everyone, "Don't be afraid, everyone. These are the ghost messengers under Huang Daogong's command who have come to retrieve the souls of those who died in battle. I believe that with Huang Daogong's kind-hearted character, these people will find a good place to go after they go down."

"It was Huang Daogong who sent someone to take away the soul!!"

Everyone was shocked, and then they were delighted. Just as Uncle Jiu said, Huang Daogong was so kind-hearted that he would not ignore those who died in battle. These brothers would at least be reborn into a good family in the underworld and enjoy a happy next life.

"Long live Huang Daogong!!"

They shouted again, their admiration for Huang Daogong becoming even stronger.

Uncle Jiu looked at the energetic crowd and nodded secretly. Huang Daogong has gradually become the spiritual pillar of the people in Renjia Town, like a magical treasure that makes all the people feel at ease.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the scene and frowned slightly.

Huang Daogong never took the souls of the horse thieves!

He could see clearly that the souls that Taoist Qianhe had taken away were all the souls of those who had died in battle in Renjia Town.

The souls of the bandits all remained in their corpses and were never taken away.

But he changed his mind and realized that the life and death registration of the horse thieves was not under the control of Huang Daogong. Therefore, according to the laws of heaven and underworld, Huang Daogong had no right to take the souls of this group of horse thieves. He could only wait for the underworld's ghosts to come and take the souls, take them to the horse thieves' hometown to cancel their registration, and then take them to the underworld for trial.

Uncle Jiu realized this and secretly felt a headache. This was indeed a troublesome matter.

The fact that the bandits' souls had not been taken away meant that they could come back to take lives at any time.

He frowned, thinking about how to deal with the corpses of these horse thieves.

In this case, it is natural to burn it directly and put an end to it once and for all.

Thinking so, he led the security team and young and strong militiamen to collect the bodies of those who died in the battle, and at the same time brought the bodies of the horse thieves back to the town.

……

In the main god space.

Taoist Priest Qianhe led the ghost messengers and hurried back with the souls of the militiamen who died in the bandit suppression in Renjia Town.

"When you meet Huang Daogong later, remember to be respectful and don't be negligent or careless."

On the way, Taoist Qianhe warned the militia to behave properly so as not to behave rudely and anger Huang Daogong.

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

The local militiamen hurriedly thanked Taoist Qianhe for his advice.

"Come in with me!!"

Taoist Qianhe led them into the Zodiac Temple.

The militiamen looked at the familiar Zodiac Temple in front of them, feeling nervous, not knowing what would happen next.

Some of them had personally witnessed Huang Daogong judging the evildoers of Bai Yulou in the temple. They knew Huang Daogong's hatred of evil and fiery temper, and were afraid that they would end up like Bai Yulou and the others, and be beaten to death.

So when they entered the room, they didn't dare to look directly at Huang Daogong in the hall, and knelt down like pushing a golden mountain and overturning a jade pillar, "The humble people pay their respects to Huang Daogong."

Be as respectful as possible.

“Get up!!”

Huang Dao waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up cautiously and waited for Huang Daogong's decision.

"You all bravely sacrificed your lives to protect your hometown, and you have rendered great service to the people." Huang Dao glanced at the twenty or so militiamen in the hall. He smiled faintly and said, "This god cannot bear to see you suffer punishment in the underworld, so I intend to recruit you as underworld messengers. You will do good deeds and accumulate virtue so that you can be reborn into a good life in the future. Are you willing?"

Being a ghost messenger!?

The local militiamen were overjoyed and knelt on the ground without saying a word, saying, "We are willing to serve you."

"good!!"

Huang Dao nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand. The militiamen saw a daze and the Yinchai's black uniform, sword and soul-catching rope appeared in front of them.

This is the standard Yincha equipment he exchanged in the system mall, which is only for ordinary Yincha use.

"From now on, you will be a member of the Zodiac Temple's Yin Messenger. I hope you will not forget your original intention and continue to protect your hometown and prevent evil spirits from invading the peace of the villagers."

"We will follow Huang Daogong's teachings!"

The militiamen bowed to Huang Dao to thank him, and after hearing Huang Dao's order, they happily stood up and picked up their equipment.

From now on, they are also part of the army of ghosts.

They sacrificed their lives heroically to protect Renjia Town, which was truly worth it.

In reality, I protected my family's safety, and afterwards I received a pension from the town as compensation, which can support my family's future life.

After death, they can serve as ghost messengers to accumulate good karma, so they don't have to go to the underworld to be punished, and they can look after their families in secret from time to time.

This wave has made a lot of money.

"You wait and step back!"

Huang Dao ordered the militia to retreat, then handed the Yinlusi token to Taoist Qianhe, who was standing solemnly beside him, and said casually, "I just killed the leader of the horse thieves. Take this token and go to the underworld to find Cui Fujun. Ask him to help me approve a note to remove the household registration of these horse thieves!"

"???"

Taoist Qianhe was stunned, his head full of question marks.

As a disciple of Maoshan, he naturally knew that gods could not interfere in human affairs at will, let alone kill people at will.

Just like sentencing someone to death in real life, the death penalty can only be carried out after a series of procedures including trial, reporting, approval by the Supreme Court, etc.

If gods want to take a person's life, they have to follow a set of procedures.

Of course, in reality, if government officials want to kill people, there are plenty of ways to do it.

But he couldn't imagine that there was such a shortcut in the system of gods governed by strict heavenly rules and ruthless dark laws.

Kill first and ask for permission later!?

Huang Dao didn't know what Taoist Qianhe was thinking. He paused for a moment and then said, "By the way, I'd like to ask Lord Cui to do me a favor and put a stamp on my recruitment of local warriors as ghost messengers."

Taoist Qianhe gave a wry smile, and Huang Daogong spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if the Yinlusi was run by him and he could do whatever he wanted.

He shook his head, bowed and accepted the order, then hurriedly took the Yinlu Command Card given to him by Huang Dao and went to the underworld to ask Lord Cui for approval.

When Lord Cui learned about the situation, he immediately ordered his subordinates to write a note and stamp it, directly canceling the household registration of this group of horse thieves.

This gang of horse thieves are already extremely evil. Even if they follow the procedures, they will be approved. Now they are just one step ahead...

Taoist Qianhe hurried back with the note and handed it to Huang Daogong.

Huang Dao glanced at them, then casually brushed them aside and ignored them. Instead, he instructed Taoist Qianhe, "This group of horse thieves has committed countless crimes and is extremely vicious. Now they have been tragically killed in Renjia Town. Their resentment is overwhelming and they are likely to turn into evil spirits and return for revenge. You should patrol more often with the Yinchao these two days to prevent this group of evildoers from committing crimes."

"I obey your orders!!"

Taoist Qianhe was startled and did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly bowed and accepted the order.

"good!"
