On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the Ghost Festival, the Ghost Gate opened!
Su Hen sat in the Judge Hall and looked at the document that Bai Wuchang had presented with a thoughtful expression.
He had already chosen Qu Jingming as the City God.
However, the old man was still alive and lying on the sickbed.
There was no such thing as forcefully controlling the soul in the underworld.
Thus, Su Hen sent a few Soulbringers over to take a look before he stopped caring.
After all, Qu Jingming was a ghost tamer.
The ghost tamer could not see a lifespan in the Book of Life and Death, nor could he see a future.
Naturally, it was impossible to change their lifespan.
The Book of Life and Death, in the end, was only used to control the life and death of mortals.
There were many names on the document.
These were all ghosts.
As the ghostly energy filled the world, ghosts were naturally born after the death of humans.
The souls of the Burial Earth, regardless of their strength, were all malicious ghosts that wanted to devour the living.
However, ghosts in the world of the living were divided into good and evil.
There were many good souls living in the underworld now.
It was the Ghost Festival, and it was time to open the gates of hell and let them go to the world of the living to see their families.
"Dai Wenxiao."
Su Hen put down the book and spoke loudly.
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in the service of a ghost officer walked in and cupped his hands in greeting."Greetings, Lord Judge."
There were thousands of innocent ghosts in that ghost tide.
Their bodies were tainted with baleful aura, so they were all thrown into the Netherworld Pool by Su Hen, turning into Soul Seizing Emissaries and placed in the Soul Seizing Agency.
Dai Wenxiao was one of them.
It was just that the baleful aura on his body was the strongest, so after the transformation, he became the strongest among the reapers.
They were at the peak of S class and were even stronger than ordinary ghost soldiers.
Therefore, Su Hen made him the head of the Soul Seizing Agency and commanded the thousands of Soul Seizing Emissaries.
"It's time to let those souls go home to visit their relatives during the Middle Yuan Ghost Festival.”
"At midnight, you will lead the many Soul Reapers and be responsible for guarding the ghosts who are visiting their relatives to prevent any souls from escaping.”
"Bring all the souls back when the time is right.”
The so-called midnight referred to the time period from 11:00 p. m. to 1:00 a.m.
The worst time was between 1 am and 3 am.
Two hours, that was two hours.
Therefore, the ancients divided a day into twelve hours.
"Honorable order!"
Dai Wenxiao bowed and left the hall to prepare after receiving the order.
Su Hen looked at the name list on the table with a complicated expression and sighed slightly.
His grandfather had passed away a few years ago.
At that time, the ghostly qi between heaven and earth was not so dense.
In addition, the old master had died of old age. When he died, he smiled without any resentment.
Therefore, after he passed away, he did not turn into a ghost.
Instead, his soul returned to heaven and earth and completely dissipated.
Even though he was now a judge, there was nothing he could do.
When Su Hen transmigrated to this world, he was just a baby.
She had been raised by the old man for more than ten years.
It was naturally impossible to say that there was no familial bond in his heart.
"Forget it."
Su Hen sighed slightly and looked at the Black and White Impermanences standing beside him.""Yin Si, you two can watch.”
"If there's anything, report to me in time.”
Then, before the two Wuchangs could respond.
He waved his sleeves and disappeared from the hall.
He looked at the empty Judge's seat.
"Your Honor, it seems like our interest has waned today," Black Impermanence said.”
"Naturally."
"The Judge is a sentimental person," White Impermanence sighed.”
"When you think of your loved ones passing away and not even having the chance to reincarnate, you will naturally feel a little sad.”
"Let's put in more effort and settle the matter properly. Try not to disturb Milord.”
"I understand." Black Impermanence nodded.”
"I'll go talk to Gan Liu and Qiao Kun too.”
In the world of the living.
The business in the paper shop was extremely prosperous at this moment.
Even if Su Hen was now the Underworld Judge, holding the power of life and death of millions of people and ruling the Underworld.
However, this small paper shop never closed.
Firstly, it was to let him maintain his nature.
He had always stayed in the mortal world, feeling the daily necessities of the mortal world.
He wanted to prevent his own nature from being gradually replaced by divinity and eventually become superior.
He might even have no desires, cut off his ties with the world, and become a stone without emotions.
Secondly.
Naturally, it was to remember the old man.
After the old man passed away, he did not leave anything else for himself.
He only had tens of thousands of yuan in savings and this old paper shop.
The shop was very lively.
Those paper items looked extremely exquisite.
It could even be placed in the room as an ornament.
It was a pity that they were all burned for the dead. It was unlucky.
The boss was a young man in his early twenties.
His face was so handsome that it didn't seem to be from the mortal world.
As a result, many young girls also rushed into this small shop.
He bought a few paper products and hid in a corner, staring blankly at that fairy-like face.
"Boss Su."
An old man placed the money on the counter.""You're not doing your job properly.”
"She's been hiding behind the counter reading and hasn't come over to take a look.”
"I just saw a few guys secretly taking things and leaving without paying.”
"If this goes on, you might end up losing money in the business that you've been busy with for a long time.”
The old man was also an acquaintance.
Su Hen took the money and smiled.”
"Those who pay can be considered business.”
"Those who didn't pay thought that they had taken advantage of it, but in fact, they lost their source of fortune. Their losses were much greater than those few small coins.”
The crowd in the shop continued until evening.
During this period, there were even many ghost tamers who came to buy paper money.
This group of Ghost Commanders had never sacrificed to the undead in the past.
After all, almost all the ghosts they faced came from the Burial Earth.
It carried the purest malice.
Therefore, as time passed, all ghosts needed to be destroyed. This had become the consensus of most ghost controllers.
But who asked Jinling City to have a City God?
Furthermore, the gates to hell had been exposed outside the Great Chang City that day.
From this, it could be seen that one of his deceased relatives.
He might be living in the netherworld right now.
Buying something to offer as a sacrifice was also something that should be done.
The golden crow descended to the west, and the moon rose.
When night fell.
Flames lit up everywhere in Jin Ling City.
Many people placed copper basins at the intersection and burned paper money to worship their ancestors.
Burning paper during the Hungry Ghost Festival was also very particular.
The copper basin could only be placed at the intersection, meaning that after the undead finished eating the incense, they should hurry on their way and not delay.
He definitely couldn't put it on his doorstep.
This was an invitation.
After the undead finished the incense, they would follow the person who burned the joss paper into the house.
From now on, he would never leave.
Chu Yue was also squatting at the entrance of the grocery store, staring blankly at the burning brazier.
His mother passed away when he was very young.
His father was always busy with business.
Although he was living a good life, he was alone in that huge villa.
In the end, it still seemed too deserted.
In the past, she always liked to visit her grandfather, Chu Weizheng.
The environment in the grocery store was not good, and the food was very simple and cheap.
However, to Chu Yue, it was the best memory of her life.
However, his grandfather was no longer around.
The warmth in the grocery store naturally dissipated.
Flames danced in the copper basin.
It was as if an old man's face had appeared and was smiling at him.
What Chu Yue did not know was that…
In the distance, in a dark corner.
Chu Weizheng's soul was looking at his granddaughter with a loving smile.
"Sigh!"
He sighed softly." Without me, this girl will probably be even lonelier in the future."”
"I hope she can find someone who likes her and is willing to take care of her soon.”
Behind Chu Wei.
The reapers in charge of guarding the place were also slightly moved.
This reapers was also an old man.
It was a pity that his children had all died in the ghost tide, and not even their souls were left behind.
He was lucky to have become a ghost.
After the transformation of the Netherworld Pool, they would not forget their previous memories.
It would only give these ghosts the power of hell and deeply implant the fact that they would never betray in their souls.
"I will."
"I think your granddaughter is blessed," the old ghost said softly.”
"Ouch."
Chu Wei turned around and smiled as he cupped his hands at him."Thank you for your kind words, old brother."
Opposite the grocery store.
Outside the paper shop.
Su Hen was also standing behind a copper basin. He looked at the joss money inside with a confused expression.
He was the Underworld Judge.
He controlled the underworld and ruled over the dead souls.
Now, he was actually burning paper here to worship the undead?
If this news were to spread, it would probably shock countless people.
"Old Master."
He looked at the flames in the copper basin and said softly,""Have a safe journey."
"It's a pity that you died a few years ago. Otherwise, you could have enjoyed life down there.”
Another bunch of paper money was thrown into the copper basin.
Soon, the paper money was burned out.
Su Hen no longer hesitated. He turned around and walked back into the paper shop.
Before this basin, it was not only his grandfather who was sacrificed.
There were also many things that happened in his previous life.
It was a farewell.
From today onwards.
Su Hen no longer had his previous life, only the God of Underworld in this life!
Within Jin Ling City.
Every house was burning joss paper.
The reapers brought many souls to their homes and took a good look at their loved ones through the fire.
However, for the Ghost Control Bureau.
Today, however, he was on tenterhooks.
Jinling Ghost Control Bureau, in the office.
Countless employees were walking around in a hurry.
Zhang Ying sat behind his desk and pinched his forehead.
Lin Yu had already started her secluded cultivation and was planning to break through to S-class.
As a result, many of Jin Ling City's affairs fell back onto Zhang Ying's shoulders.
"Captain Zhang!"
"The general information has been tabulated."”
"There are more than 700 streets in Jinling City, and there are more than 670 of them.”
"The remaining less than a hundred streets are mostly in the suburbs or abandoned old areas. The surroundings are basically deserted.”
Hearing this report.
Zhang Ying let out a long sigh.”
"The more people there are, the more they gather together.”
"Captain Zhang." "It's the Ghost Festival now," Fang Anxu said with a smile.”
"Legend has it that the gates to hell will open tonight, and many souls will return home to visit their relatives.”
"It's no longer a legend." Zhang Ying glanced at him and said helplessly,""You've seen the situation on the street.”
"There are ghosts everywhere."
"Has the curfew been issued?”
"Don't worry." "It's already been arranged," Fang Anson quickly replied.”
"Determination to minimize all possible accidents and dangers!”
As soon as these ghosts arrived in the city.
Zhang Ying had already made the arrangements.
Tonight, no one is allowed to leave the area where they live.
At most, they would burn paper at the edge of the street.
He was afraid that some people would accidentally bump into ghosts.
Zhang Ying's face was filled with worry.
"Captain Zhang, actually you don't have to worry so much."”
"Legend has it that when ghosts return home to visit their relatives during the Ghost Festival, they will follow the ghost reaper. This is to prevent these ghosts from causing trouble in the world of the living or escaping.”
"In my opinion, you should rest in peace tonight. Everything will be fine by daybreak.”
"You also know that it's a legend?" " Forget it," Zhang Ying replied unhappily." I won't be able to sleep tonight."”
"Continue to send people on duty. If there's anything, remember to report to me immediately.”
As long as the reapers were unwilling, they could conceal themselves, and ordinary ghost controllers would not be able to discover them.
But ghosts were different.
His body was constantly emitting ghost energy, so it was easy for others to sense it.
That was why the Ghost Control Bureau was so busy tonight.
After all, hundreds of ghosts had suddenly appeared in the city.
Moreover, most of them were concentrated in the bustling downtown area.
Anyone would be on tenterhooks.
If one looked down from the night sky.
Tonight, the city of Jin Ling was filled with sparks of fire, like stars, and it was inexplicably beautiful.
However, some places were still shrouded in darkness.
For example, the City God Temple in the city.
Although this temple was now abandoned and no one came here at all.
After all, everyone had gone to the Liu Family Village.
Even the old Miaozhu had left.
But because of Lord Shing Wong.
No one dared to demolish the temple and replace it with another building.
After all, no one could be sure that if they did so, they would not incur the wrath of Lord Shing Wong.
In the silent night.
Two figures slowly walked on a lonely road.
The leader was a man wearing a servant's uniform and a tall hat.
He was holding a chain in his hand. The other end of the chain was tied to the wrist of a middle-aged man.
They were the reapers and souls.
Because of the malicious ghost, there were almost no more houses near the Shing Wong Temple. Those who could move away had all moved away.
As a result, the two souls walked on the small path, looking very desolate.
"You can worship Lord Shing Wong here?"
The ghost looked at the tightly shut door and asked curiously.
The reapers turned around and denied,""I can't."
"If you want to worship Lord Shing Wong, you can only go to the temple in Liu Clan Village.”
The reapers possessed the power of the netherworld, so they could clearly see the power of incense and virtue.
There was only a faint Yin energy lingering in this abandoned temple.
Ordinary people had stayed here for a long time.
Not only would he not be blessed by the incense, but he would also fall ill due to the corrosion of the Yin energy.
Just as the two souls were about to leave.
Creak--
A soft sound echoed in the dark night.
The red door of the Shing Wong Temple was slowly pushed open by someone.
"Hmm?"
The reapers stopped in their tracks and frowned slightly.
He could feel a chill seeping out from the crack in the door.
There seemed to be ghosts hidden inside?
"Follow behind me."
He instructed the ghost beside him. He held the chain with his left hand and pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
He slowly walked into the Shing Wong Temple.
Capturing dead souls was one of the duties of a ghost officer.
The temple hall was desolate and empty.
There was nothing on the offering table, and it was covered in dust.
Only the wooden statue of the City God was hidden in the darkness, and its face revealed a strange and sinister expression.
However…
The reapers directly ignored these things and stared at the dark corner.
A young man was standing there.
He was sizing her up with a curious gaze.
The other party's aura should only be A-class, about the same as his.
However, as a reaper of hell, he was born with the ability to restrain ghosts.
Therefore, if they really fought…
With the Ghost Blade in hand, he could definitely crush an A-class ghost.
However, the strange thing was…
Judging from the other party's performance, he could actually see him directly!
Logically speaking, after concealing his figure.
Even an ordinary peak A-class ghost tamer shouldn't be able to see him.
However…
Although he was curious.
However, since the other party was not a ghost, he did not have a mission.
The reapers looked at the young man again.
He grabbed the chain and planned to turn around and leave.
However, just as he walked to the door, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him."Officer, please wait!"
It was accompanied by the sound of undisguised footsteps.
The young man walked out of the darkness.
He took the initiative to say," I'm Li Jie. I have some doubts. Can you answer them for me?"”
As he spoke.
He had already quickened his pace and stood in front of the reapers.
"Impudent!"
The reapers 'expression darkened slightly as they scolded,""Since you're not a ghost, hurry up and leave.”
"Since it's your first offense, I won't hold it against you this time.”
"Otherwise, there will be punishment for obstructing the Netherworld.”
Hearing this.
Li Jie frowned deeply, hesitation flashing across his face.
Obviously, he was still very afraid of the legendary underworld.
However…
At this moment.
As if he had heard some order, he suddenly said,"Why are you so angry?"
"There's just someone who wants to see you.”
"After you're done, I'll immediately make way and stop disturbing you.”
After saying that.
Before the reapers could respond.
He took the initiative to take off his coat.
The moonlight shone on his pale skin.
However, the gaze of the ghost reaper and the soul behind him…
All of them landed on Li Jie's heart.
There was actually a human face there!
The human face was only the size of a fist, and it was grinning hideously under the moonlight.
The entire face, including the large pieces of skin nearby, had turned dark red.
It emitted a foul smell.
It was as if it had long rotted.
The human face's eyes were red, and it stared at the reapers with a strange gaze.
His gaze was filled with curiosity, surprise, and a hint of greed.
It was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly saw the braised pork that had just been served.
"Reaper!"
A hoarse voice came from the face.""So the legend is true."
"There really is a place in this world that can compare to the Burial Earth."
"It even suppressed the burial ground a long time ago."
A warning sign!
The reapers did not hesitate.
He suddenly grabbed the long saber at his waist.
He didn't know why.
The black face on someone else's heart gave him a strong sense of danger and hatred.
It was as if he had met his predestined enemy!
However, it was all too late.
The black face suddenly opened its mouth.
Li Jie's face was filled with pain.
Fresh blood oozed out from his heart.
In the air, they turned into blood-red threads.
These threads seemed to have a life of their own, instantly wrapping around the reapers and the innocent soul.
The power in his body was rapidly draining away.
The ghost knife in his hand fell to the ground.
In just a few dozen breaths of time.
The reapers screamed.
Along with the souls behind them, they were completely devoured by the black human face.
After a long time.
Peace was restored in the City God Temple.
Li Jie, on the other hand, was leaning against the wall in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a moment.
Finally.
A cold wind blew.
Li Jie's face suddenly showed anger.
He lowered his head and looked at the black face in his heart. He growled,"What did you do?"
"You clearly know that there is a netherworld in Jinling City.”
"You actually dare to swallow the ghost officers?"
"Do you think you've lived too long?”
" Hehehehe," the black face laughed.
Its cheeks puffed up as if it was still smelling the reaper's scent.
Looking at the exasperated Li Jie, the black face finally said,""Rest assured."
"With me around, these reapers who aren't even at the soldier level won't be able to find you.”
"Let's leave Jinling. I already know what I want to know.”
However…
He was relieved to face the black face.
Li Jie did not calm down at all.
He looked at the darkness outside the door and said coldly,"The reapers won't be able to discover it."
"What about Wuchang?"
"I remember you once told me that Wuchangs are countless times stronger than reapers!”
"That will depend on your luck."
"Leave now."
"Can we escape from here before Wuchang finds out?"
He listened to the voice coming from his heart.
Li Kai's expression was very gloomy.
However, he didn't dare to delay.
He pushed open the door and walked quickly into the darkness.
Strictly speaking, this black face was actually a heart!
It was a cursed item!
This was something that Li Jie had obtained by chance.
At that time, because he had used the wrong method, he had almost been devoured by a C-class ghost.
In order to survive.
He placed the cursed item in his heart.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well give it a try.
Obviously, he had made the right bet.
After the black viscera replaced his original viscera, the revived C-class ghost in his body was directly swallowed.
A black human face also grew out of his heart.
The human face had a very high IQ.
He also told Li Jie.
As long as he listened, he would be able to make him the best ghost tamer in the world step by step.
It would even be easy for him to advance from A class to S class!
The subsequent experience also proved the human face's words.
Because Li Jie realized.
Every time the human face devoured a ghost, its strength would increase rapidly.
In just a short span of ten days.
He had actually jumped from a C-class ghost tamer to an A-class.
If this continued, it would not be difficult for him to become an S-class ghost tamer!
This trip to Jinling was also the black face's idea.
After it heard about the legends about the netherworld from Jin Ling city, it showed great interest.
It seemed that a long time ago, it had understood some things about the netherworld.
Unfortunately.
Li Jie had asked it more than once.
The human face didn't say anything.
In the dark night.
A man in a windbreaker rushed out of the city.
"We're one!"
"If I die here, you will also be punished in hell," Li Jie said in a deep voice.”
However…
Facing Li Jie's threat.
The black face did not show any fear or worry.
Instead, he opened his mouth and smiled strangely.
.........
Time always passed very quickly during a visit.
The time passed quickly.
When the time came, a large number of reapers brought the souls they were responsible for back to the gates of hell.
Dai Wenxiao stood there and counted the number of people.
When everyone had arrived, they entered the pass together.
However, time passed.
There was one person missing from the reapers.
Dai Wenxiao frowned, his expression somewhat gloomy.
He actually dared to miss the first Zhongyuan Festival.
When that reaper returns, the punishment of the netherworld will be unavoidable!
The rest of the reapers and souls could feel the anger of the Soul Beguiling Division Head.
At this moment, they all stood quietly at the side, not daring to make a sound.
However…
Most of the ugly time had passed.
The reapers still hadn't returned!
Dai Wenxiao also noticed that something was wrong.
"Wang Heshuo hasn't returned yet. Has anyone seen him?”
The reapers discussed among themselves.
A middle-aged reapers walked out and cupped his hands towards Dai Wenxiao."My lord."
"When I came back, I seemed to have seen Wang Heshuo.”
