However, no matter how good his impression of her was.
At this moment, he looked at the two reapers standing in front of him.
Qu Jingming couldn't help but sigh.""In the end, I still couldn't hold on."
"Officers, is my time up?”
The two reapers were slightly stunned.
"Don't misunderstand, Duke Qu," the reapers on the left hurriedly said.”
"Your lifespan shouldn't be exhausted yet. The two of us didn't come here tonight to take your life.”
"It's really because Shangguan has instructed us to come and guide your soul into the underworld.”
"I'll send you back before dawn.”
They had no choice but to be respectful.
It was because of the boundless power of virtue and the wish of the common people that surrounded Qu Jingming.
It was like the sun shining brightly in the dark night.
Ordinary ghosts naturally couldn't see it.
However, these two reapers were employees of the underworld.
With the power of hell, he could naturally see it clearly.
For such a person, when his soul entered the netherworld after death, there was an 80 - 90% chance that he would be qualified to become a square god!
It might even be his superior.
Now, he was respectful and left a good impression on the other party.
In the future, he might be able to receive some care.
"Enter the netherworld?"
Qu Jingming was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded,"Good!"
"This old master will follow you!"
The Ghost Control Bureau of Xia country had long been looking forward to the underworld.
The experts were frantically studying ancient myths.
Many ghost controllers also traveled all over the country, hoping to find traces of the underworld.
If he could come back alive after entering the netherworld this time.
The value of the information he brought back would be immeasurable!
"The horse is outside the door and has already been prepared. Duke Qu, follow me.”
After the two reapers bowed, they turned around and led the way.
Qu Jingming turned around and looked at the bed.
His body was currently lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
"Hey."
The old man smiled.
It was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a bizarre encounter.
In the lobby of Ghost Commander Hospital.
A horse stood quietly in the corner.
It looked completely white, and there were still some creases on its body.
It was a horse made of white paper!
However, the horse's eyes were blinking and flashing with spiritual light. Clearly, it had its own intelligence.
The ordinary people and Ghost Commanders came and went, but no one could see the paper horse.
Qu Jingming sat down.
Under the guidance of the two reapers, they walked towards the darkness outside the door.
However…
Just as he was about to leave.
Lin Yu and Zhang Ying walked in.
"Elder Qu's body is about to collapse.”
Zhang Ying held a report in his hand and sighed.""I'm afraid that there's only half a month left.”
Lin Yu's expression was a little downcast.”
"It will be a huge blow to the entire Great Chang.”
Zhang Ying nodded in agreement.
"Alas, spring goes and autumn comes. Life and death are the cycle of reincarnation. This is the law of the world. Who can change it?"”
"Elder Qu is still young, and he can't suppress the ghost in his body.”
Just as the two of them were chatting with each other and were about to step into the hospital...
Lin Yu seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and looked into the darkness.
The power of ghosts was circulating and rushing into his eyes.
She was only one step away from S class.
Thus, his control of ghost power had reached another stage.
Lin Yu's eyes gradually turned dark red.
The scene in the darkness also appeared before her eyes.
The white-haired Qu Jingming was sitting on a white paper horse.
They were led by two pale-faced men in ancient bailiffs 'uniforms and gradually walked into the darkness.
It was as if he had sensed Lin Yu's gaze.
Qu Jingming turned around and smiled at her."Lin girl."
The old man was considered a highly respected person in the entire ghost controlling world of Xia country.
Therefore, although her strength was low, it was not a problem to call her a little girl.
"Hey." Lin Yu quickly responded.
The two figures leading the horses quickly matched with the characters in the myths.
The soul-seducing reapers!
He saw the sadness on Lin Yu's face.
"The old man isn't dead yet." Qu Jingming laughed.”
"This time, I was only invited by the Netherworld God to travel to the underworld. I'll be back before dawn.”
"We might be able to lift a little of the veil covering the face of the underworld.”
After saying that, he did not delay any longer.
Together with the two reapers, they completely disappeared into the darkness.
Hearing his words, Lin Yu was stunned.
An invitation from a god?
Could it be that there was something special about this old man?
"Captain Lin?"
Zhang Ying called out several times.
Seeing Lin Yu recover from her trance, he mumbled,""Who were you talking to just now?"
"Can't you see?" Lin Yu raised her eyebrows.
"Ah?" Zhang Ying looked around.”
"It's nothing."
Lin Yu looked thoughtful and suddenly said,""Tonight, I will personally guard the door for Old Qu.”
"Without my orders, no one is allowed to enter and disturb Elder Qu.”
"Not even a doctor!"
Zhang Ying blinked his eyes, feeling a little lost for a moment.
"What's going on?"
.........
In the darkness, a winding path gradually appeared in front of them.
Smoke filled both sides of the path.
The two reapers stepped onto the paper horse.
The reapers on the left took the initiative to explain,"This is the Road to the Underworld."”
"There are countless paths to the netherworld. After everyone dies, they will see one that belongs to them.”
"Once you enter the Yellow Springs, there is no way out. If you don't have the pass given by the judge, you will never be able to return.”
Qu Jingming looked back.
As expected, the path he walked on disappeared inch by inch, swallowed by the fog.
He didn't know how long he had walked for.
The scene in front of him suddenly widened.
The dark sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the dry earth was dark red.
A cold wind blew, and the sound was like the wailing of a ghost.
This was a vast and boundless land, and there was no end to it.
The magnificent city wall stood tall on this land, as if it had divided the entire world into two!
The towering city tower rose to the sky, as if it was connected to the firmament.
On the city gate tower hung a plaque with a purple glow.
Gate to Hell!
Qu Jingming finally saw the gate of hell that swallowed the ghost tide again.
However, the Gate of Hell in the Netherworld was much more shocking than the phantom that appeared in the Yang Realm that day.
That majestic aura assaulted his face like a mountain toppling over!
Standing in front of the gates of hell, he looked up at the boundless city tower.
Qu Jingming felt his heart beat faster.
If he wasn't currently in a soul state, even breathing would have become difficult.
"Duke Qu."
"Shall we go in?" The reapers who were leading the horses reminded softly.”
"Hey, okay, okay, let's go in.”
Qu Jingming used a lot of willpower to calm down the panic in his heart.
Because he was in hell.
Therefore, the gates of the Gate to Hell were open all year round, and only a large group of ghost soldiers guarded the entrance.
The reapers walked in front of him and took out a certificate.
After the ghost soldier carefully inspected it, he waved his hand and let them pass.
After the impregnable pass, there was a continuous stretch of buildings.
The pavilions and pavilions had an antique feel to them, but they exuded a cold aura.
A large number of souls were shuttling between these buildings.
"City God Hall?"
A large hall appeared in front of him.
Qu Jingming couldn't help but look over.
Inside the hall sat the Wandering God of Day and Night and the Black and White Impermanence.
The four Gods of Hell seemed to be discussing something.
At this moment, he sensed that someone was spying on him.
The Sun Wandering God suddenly turned his head and looked over with a fierce gaze.
Qu Jingming was shocked and quickly lowered his head.
A large number of reapers dressed in bailiff uniforms were walking around.
According to Qu Jingming's judgment, every reapers was at least Class A.
As for the armored soldiers, they had surpassed peak A class and should have reached S class!
The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
This was only beyond the gates of hell, and could be considered the outermost layer of the underworld.
His strength was so terrifying.
What kind of power was hidden in the depths of the underworld?
Unfortunately.
Behind the great hall was an endless thick fog that covered the world.
He could not see anything at all.
After the two reapers brought him into an empty hall, they cupped their hands and left.
Qu Jingming didn't have to wait for long.
Very quickly.
One after another, the reapers brought the souls of some people to this hall.
The most important thing was…
Qu Jingming actually knew all these people!
All of them looked like old men in their seventies or eighties.
They lived in Great Chang City and usually did good deeds. Their reputation and character were praiseworthy.
"Duke Qu?"
The group of old men still had panicked expressions on their faces.
When they saw Qu Jingming, it was as if they had seen their backbone. They all gathered around him.
"Could it be that you are also dead?"
"Go, go, go. What death? Didn't Lord Reaper say that our lifespans weren't exhausted?”
"That's right. We're invited by the true gods of the Netherworld to travel. We're not ghosts that have entered the Netherworld.”
"If you don't want to live, I still want to live for a few more years.”
"Duke Qu, you've always been knowledgeable and resourceful. Can you tell us what's going on?”
"That's right. I'm still in a state of panic. How can a living person enter the underworld?”
He listened to the old people's discussions.
Qu Jingming couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied with a stiff face,""I'm not sure either."
"The matters of the netherworld are not something that mortals like us can casually deal with.”
"However, since that reapers said that our lives are not over, then it means that our lives are not over. He won't lie to us.”
"Everyone can go back before dawn. Don't worry too much.”
With Qu Jingming's guarantee.
The elders gradually calmed down and began to nervously wait for their fate.
They didn't have to wait long.
The door opened.
White Impermanence, who was wearing a white robe and smiling, stood outside the door.
With his hands in his sleeves, he raised his voice and said,"The time has come. Everyone, please follow me into the hall to meet the judge.”
"Don't make any noise in the Judge's Hall.”
Judge!
Qu Jingming was shocked.
The image of the red-robed deity who suppressed the Cursed Door and killed the Ghost King with a single strike appeared in his mind.
The elders also started to move.
They lined up according to age and followed behind White Impermanence.
Qu Jingming was naturally ranked first.
The group of people passed through many buildings and saw many ferocious ghosts and gods with terrifying auras.
However, when these ghosts and deities saw White Impermanence, they all bowed and saluted.
White Impermanence nodded lightly and led the group forward.
Very quickly.
A vermilion hall appeared in front of them.
The plaque on the hall had the words "General Judgment".
White Impermanence stepped forward and stood at the door. He cupped his hands and said,""Milord, I've brought them all!"
A deep and dignified voice echoed in the hall,""Then please come in."
White Impermanence nodded.
He stood sideways at the door and smiled at the souls of the old people,""Everyone, please come in."
Qu Jingming hesitated.
He still took the lead and walked in.
The other elders naturally followed behind.
In the hall, dozens of armored ghost soldiers stood tall, and a faint murderous aura pervaded the surroundings.
Countless tables were placed in the middle of the hall.
There were a few pieces of white paper and an ink pen on the table.
At the end of the hall.
A figure dressed in red with a dignified aura sat upright.
He wore a crown on his head, and his face was covered by a beaded curtain that hung down, making it impossible to see him clearly.
Two generals with green and red faces and ferocious expressions stood on his left and right.
White Impermanence walked in and stood beside the red-robed deity. He said loudly,""Everyone, bow."
Qu Jingming was the first to react.
He quickly cupped his hands and bowed.”
The other elders also followed suit and bowed to the god on the main seat.
"No need for formalities."
Su Hen's gaze passed through the bead curtain and landed on the group of old men.
Their souls were surrounded by a dense golden light of virtue, which meant that they had done countless good deeds in their lives and saved many lives.
Qu Jingming was the most eye-catching among them.
If the golden light of virtue on the bodies of the other elders was said to be the stars in the night sky, then the golden light of virtue on the bodies of the other elders would be the stars in the night sky.
Qu Jingming was definitely the noon sun!
Such a virtuous person, even if he had no fate with the position of City God.
In the future, after he died, he would enter the underworld.
Su Hen would also think of a way to confer him a position.
"Sit down."
Seeing everyone straighten their backs, Su Hen said indifferently,""There are names carved on the table. Find your own names and sit down.”
"Answer the questions on the white paper according to your heart.”
"Stop writing before daybreak. I will give you a travel pass and let the reapers send you back.”
The group of old men had a hundred questions in their hearts.
However, the pressure from the judge was too heavy.
Therefore, no one dared to say anything. They all lowered their heads and looked for their seats.
Qu Jingming quickly found his name, and it was actually in the first row.
Unfortunately, even though he was the closest, he still couldn't see the Judge's appearance clearly.
He dispersed all thoughts of probing.
Qu Jingming sat on the stool, picked up the brush, and looked at the paper in front of him.
There were many questions on it.
The first question only had eight words.
One person, two people, both intentional and unintentional.
Boom!
Qu Jingming felt as if a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.
He was completely stunned on the spot.
Even the hand holding the brush was trembling.
His eyes were dull and he was at a loss.
If it wasn't for his soul, his clothes would have been soaked in sweat!
It wasn't just him.
The elders behind him were all dumbstruck.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
It was as if they had seen something that could subvert their worldview.
A few elders even cried out in fear. The brushes in their hands fell to the ground.
The source of all this.
It was all because of those eight words!
They were all in their sixties or seventies.
It could be said that he was knowledgeable.
The group of elders naturally knew about all kinds of folk legends and ancient myths.
When he saw these words.
A story involuntarily surfaced in the minds of all the old men.
Legend has it that there was a scholar in ancient times who fell asleep one day.
Suddenly, he dreamed that he had arrived at a strange place.
The hall was grand and imposing. There were a few figures sitting on it, but their faces could not be seen clearly.
In front of him was a test paper.
There were eight words at the beginning of the paper.
One person, two people, both intentional and unintentional.
The scholar picked up a pen and wrote down the answer.
If you have the heart to do good, you will not be rewarded even if you do good. If you do evil without heart, you will not be punished even if you do evil.
This story had a name.
It was called City God Test!
No wonder these people were shocked.
After living for decades, he was already calm and indifferent to life and death.
At this moment, he could not suppress his emotions.
If they were right.
They themselves had become the scholar in the story!
However, the scholar was just a story.
They were real!
In other words.
Among this group of people, there might be one who was about to become Dachang City's City God!
All the elders turned their eyes to Qu Jingming.
It was because this Elder Qu's resume was too brilliant.
In Dachang City, it could be said that he was loved by the people.
Qu Jingming naturally noticed the gaze behind him.
But what made him the most nervous was not the group of old people.
He could feel it.
At the very front, the red-robed Judge also cast his gaze on him!
This made Qu Jingming feel like he was being stabbed in the back, and he was flustered.
Fortunately.
The judge looked away after a few seconds.
"The time has come. Let's begin the examination."”
Even if he was extremely shocked.
However, Qu Jingming still picked up his pen and began to answer.
City God!
If he became a City God, would he be able to control the power to kill Ghosts at will?
When that time came, he would be able to guard Great Chang and protect the peace of the region.
Millions of citizens would no longer have to worry about being harmed by malicious ghosts!
Thinking of this…
He could not help but become determined. Even if he was being watched by the judge, he could still remain calm.
Behind the table.
Su Hen nodded slightly.
At least in terms of temperament, this Qu Jingming had passed.
Except for the first question.
The remaining questions were much more practical.
It was all related to the rule of the underworld.
For example, the arrangement of the dead souls, how to deal with the incense and the power of the common people, what should be the limit of the good and the evil, and how to deal with the chaos caused by ghosts.
One after another.
For Qu Jingming, it was very easy.
As the captain of the Ghost Control Bureau, he had been in Dachang City for many years.
He was already familiar with these things.
He did not need to think much to come up with the most suitable response.
In the main hall.
Some of the other old men frowned and pondered, while others looked conflicted.
Only Qu Jingming, who was sitting at the head of the table, buried his head in his brush and wrote rapidly.
Time passed silently.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
In the hall, the bonfires were suddenly extinguished.
Although there was no fire, the hall was still very bright.
Dozens of armored ghost soldiers walked down, and each ghost soldier was responsible for a table of papers.
The old men stood up at the same time and lined up again, bowing to the red-robed god at the top.
"The time has come."
"Everyone, you can go back now.”
"Xie Bi 'an, send a ghost to send him off.”
"Yes." Bai Wuchang cupped his hands and picked up a stack of travel passes from the table in front of Su Hen.
Then, he walked down from the high platform and stood in front of the group of elders."Everyone, follow me."
Very quickly.
Many souls were led to the gates of hell again.
Dozens of reapers were already waiting with paper horses.
White Impermanence handed out the travel passes one by one and said,""Everyone."
"Don't mention today's matter to anyone when you return. The rules of the underworld are here, so don't go against them.”
"Otherwise, if we anger the judge, it will be a disaster.”
"The judge will personally review your papers.”
"You can just live in peace after you go back.”
"After seven days, if you don't receive any news, you will be disqualified.”
Bai Wuchang smiled and said,""But no matter what, there's no need for everyone to worry.”
"All of you have merit on you. Even if you can't become a City God, you will still receive preferential treatment when your lifespan is exhausted and you enter the netherworld.”
After these old men received their travel passes, they all cupped their hands and bowed to Bai Wuchang.
Then, under the guidance of the reapers, they walked out of the gates of hell one by one.
When it was Qu Jingming's turn.
White Impermanence suddenly waved his hand and asked the two reapers to go back.
" Lord Xie, you…" Qu Jingming was a little surprised.
The Judge in Red had called his name during the examination in the hall.
Therefore, Qu Jing Ming knew that the White Impermanence in front of him was indeed the same as the legend, his name was Xie Bi 'an.
"Duke Qu."
" I was standing beside you," White Impermanence said with a friendly smile." I took a look at your test paper."”
"In addition, you have such a thick and heavy wish power of the common people and the golden light of virtue.”
"Even if you can't become a city god in the future, you will definitely have a seat among the true gods of the underworld.”
"Perhaps one day in the future, the two of us will be colleagues, so this time, I will personally send you back to the world.”
Hearing this, Qu Jingming was slightly shocked.
However, he did not show it. He just cupped his hands and said,"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Xie."
Since White Impermanence had personally sent him off, it was impossible for him to lead the horse.
Therefore, the two of them walked back.
Just as he was about to leave the netherworld.
Qu Jingming couldn't help but look back at the gates of hell.
The towering city walls blocked all vision.
The armored ghost soldiers stood at the city gate like statues.
On the city wall, a huge figure that was hundreds of feet tall could be vaguely seen swaying.
He could not help but let out a long sigh.
He felt that everything that he had experienced tonight was strange and fantastical.
"Duke Qu?" "The sky is about to brighten." White Impermanence urged.”
"He's here!"
"Lord Xie, let's go." Qu Jingming turned around.”
Dachang City.
Ghost Summoner Hospital.
It was five in the morning.
The moon gradually disappeared, and the sky slowly brightened.
There was no one in the corridor.
Only Lin Yu was still sitting on the chair by the door, focusing on reading the information in her hand.
She had been sitting there all night.
"Captain Lin."
A ghost tamer walked over with a convenient bag in his hand."I bought you breakfast.”
"Yes."
Smelling the aroma of the food, Lin Yu couldn't help but nod.
She stood up and stretched lazily, intending to dispel the tiredness of the night.
However, just as she was halfway through stretching her body…
He was suddenly stunned.
He stared at the stairs as if he had seen something shocking.
The ghost tamer turned around and looked.
There was nothing at the stairs except for a gust of cold wind.
"Move aside!"
Lin Yu suddenly said.
"What?" The ghost tamer had yet to react.
"Stand against the wall!" She berated him sternly.
The young ghost tamer was shocked, but he still leaned against the wall subconsciously.
In the darkness before dawn.
Two figures gradually appeared.
Of course, only Lin Yu, who had activated his ghost power, could see it.
One of them was Qu Jingming.
The other one was wearing white clothes and a white hat. He had a smile on his face and emitted an aura that made her afraid.
White Impermanence!
He was definitely at the peak of the general level!
"Duke Qu."
" That's all," White Impermanence said softly." I still have to go back and report to the judge."”
Qu Jingming quickly cupped his hands and said,"Take care, my lord."”
"Yes."
Bai Wuchang nodded slightly. He glanced at Lin Yu, then turned and left, disappearing into the darkness of the corridor.
"Elder Qu!"
Seeing Bai Wuchang leave, Lin Yu finally dared to speak.
"We'll talk about it later."
Qu Jingming glanced at the sky that was about to light up, then hurried back to the ward and lay down on the bed again.
It fused with his body.
The clock struck six.
A ray of golden sunlight shone in through the window and fell on his face.
Qu Jingming slowly opened his eyes and sat up.
He looked at Lin Yu, who had pushed open the door and walked in.
A complicated smile appeared on his face.""Lin Yu."
"Last night, this old man toured the netherworld!”
