Chapter 276: Heaven and Earth Change
Great Wei Dynasty, Gao Jing.
Late at night, thousands of households turn off their lights and go to sleep, leaving only the stars twinkling in the sky.
The bluestone street has already entered the curfew, and the street is completely silent. There are only the faint sounds of insects and the sound of the watchman's footsteps and bangs coming from the end of the street.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After three blasts, he shouted in a long voice.
"Third watch in the middle of the night, be careful of candles."
There seems to be a special rhythm to the sound of the watchman and the banging of the wooden clappers, which makes people feel not disturbed but more drowsy.
The watchman was quite old, and he was a little tired after walking most of the night to the downstairs of the square gate.
He rubbed his legs and looked around.
"Nothing, okay!"
In the past, when the Yin and Yang Realm was still there, some strange things would always happen at night.
Monsters and ghosts are rampant in the streets, and ghosts and evil spirits appear on the scene. All kinds of horrific scenes are not uncommon. People often die or disappear on the streets.
But since Taoist Lord Kongchen suppressed the demons in Gaojing, the entire Yinshen system of the Wei Dynasty collapsed, and there has been no such scene again.
The watchman then walked forward. At this time, the watchman suddenly froze and looked shocked.
Because a strange figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"ah?"
The watchman's hands suddenly trembled, and the clapper in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The figure came slowly from the end of the street. It was obviously moving, but it didn't feel like it was moving.
Very weird, if one can describe it.
It's like being hung up by a rope and swaying in the wind.
Although it is moving, the movement is not moving by itself, but more like an external force acting on it.
The watchman quickly got out of the way and hid in front of the door of the nearby mansion.
He squeezed his body tightly against the door frame, trying to hide himself in the darkness.
Not entering the Yang House can be regarded as an agreement made between the Yin God monster and the Taoist sect during the Yin and Yang Realm Yamen period.
The man obviously floated over without even touching the ground.
The speed is not fast, but this way of movement is enough to make people break into a cold sweat.
The watchman had not seen such a scene for a long time, and when he saw it suddenly, he was so frightened that he trembled.
Although I have seen a lot of strange things in the early years, no matter how many I have seen, as a mortal, it is impossible not to be afraid of such things.
But after seeing the figure's face, the watcher's eyes suddenly shrank.
"He Laoer?"
The watchman recognized the other person at a glance. Isn't this Lao He from the tofu shop on the street?
I heard that the other party has been ill these past few days, why did he suddenly become like this?
"Is he dead? Why did he become a lonely ghost wandering the streets?"
The watcher immediately thought that the child was unfilial and did not bury the deceased properly and ask someone to send his soul to him after his death.
That's why He Laoer of this tofu shop became a lonely ghost, unable to return to the underworld, so he wandered around the city.
The watchman immediately became bolder when he saw that this ghost was an acquaintance of his and that he was an honest and honest old man.
Following He Laoer's ghost, he followed behind carefully.
Finally, I saw the ghost walking all the way down the street, coming to an open area, and then stopped.
The watchman hid in the corner quietly, holding his clapper and looking around, thinking to himself.
"Isn't this the Yin Well of the Yin and Yang Realm of the Great Wei Dynasty in the past?"
However, as the Yin Yang Jie Yamen became a thing of the past, all these Yin Yang Jie Yamen were naturally filled up. The former Yin Yang Jie Yamen were either demolished or rebuilt into other buildings.
Although the yin and yang realm is no longer there, the older generation still has an obsession with returning their souls to the underworld after death, fearing that they will become lonely ghosts, helpless and suffering in the world.
After all, it is a custom passed down from generation to generation, and this is the case for Old Man He.
After death, the obsession is still strong, and the soul runs to this place of the netherworld, hoping to enter the netherworld from here.
Old Man He couldn't find the Yinjing and wandered around the land in confusion.
Until dawn.
This incident spread quickly, and at first people kept pointing at He Laoer's children on the streets.
But after the first incident of lonely ghosts appeared, the second and third incidents began to appear in Gaojing City.
All kinds of strange things happened, even in the few Goulan brothel streets where curfew was not enforced, no one dared to show up at night.
———————————
The underworld.
In front of the entrance to the underworld, the huge peach tree and the towering ghost gate are integrated into one. All the ghosts and gods who enter and exit this gate will see such a magical scene when they step into the netherworld of the underworld.
In recent days, Tao Shenjun felt that his soul and magical power were gradually expanding and growing.
He could feel his power spreading all over the world with the gates of hell.
The gate of hell, the offering of incense, the growth of merit.
The changes in the three made Tao Shenjun feel that his soul was integrating into the heaven and earth more and more intensely, and his understanding of the power of his own laws and the authority of Shinto was also growing.
It made Tao Shenjun feel that he was entering a critical moment and had touched the second realm after Zhengshen.
He was vaguely aware of the path of the Righteous God.
On this day, Chixia Yuanjun suddenly sent a group of ghosts and gods to come and kneel down under the Peach God Tree.
"The little god pays homage to Tao Shenjun!"
"Chixia Yuanjun invites the Lord God to go to Hades City to discuss important matters."
Tao Shenjun walked out of the sacred tree, transformed into a purple-robed Taoist, and rode the sacred chariot to the Underworld Palace of the Underworld.
When they arrived, they could see many wild ghosts kneeling before His Highness, all of them disheveled and confused.
These ghosts are not ghosts and gods, and they are not protected by magic weapons or incense.
One by one, they became demented and stupid because of their physical death.
It wasn't until a ghost or god lit incense that these people regained some of their memories and could speak.
Seeing this magnificent underworld and the vast number of gods, these wild ghosts were so frightened that they prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
After Chixia Yuanjun and Tao Shenjun met each other, Chixia Yuanjun spoke first.
"Recently, mortals have died in the high capital of the underworld, but the spirits of these mortals have not died and dispersed into the world."
"Instead, he turned into a ghost and wandered around the world, turning into a lonely ghost."
"These are the following people that the Lord God saw."
Tao Shenjun's expression suddenly changed: "How is this possible?"
"The laws of heaven and earth are fixed. Mortal souls disperse into heaven and earth after death. How can they wander around in the world of the sun?"
"Could someone be causing trouble?"
Chixia Yuanjun pointed to a group of wild ghosts below: "Tao Shenjun, please investigate. This matter is indeed a bit strange, and I can't find any clues for the time being."
The purple-robed Taoist walked down and brushed his eyes with his hands, leaving the audience with ghostly memories.
Look through the causes and consequences, and check before and after his life.
Still haven't found a clue.
Chixia Yuanjun and Tao Shenjun, the two righteous gods of the underworld, immediately ordered the ghosts and gods of the underworld to dispatch, together with the city gods from various places, to find out what happened.
However, it was discovered that this kind of situation did not only occur in Gaojing.
All the countries in the Central Plains and everywhere in the world.
There have been cases of people turning into ghosts after death, but the situation in Gaojing is the most serious, and there are only one or two cases in other places.
But it can be found that this situation is becoming serious.
Finally, Chixia Yuanjun said: "This matter is of great importance. You and I will go to the Kunlun God Realm immediately."
"Report to Taojun."
Tao Shenjun nodded: "Without further delay, you and I will go now."
