Originally, this kind of life should have been maintained.
The hatred of the past would be buried by time.
However, something happened seven years ago.
Fire!
The weather was dry, and for various reasons, a fire broke out.
However, the fire was discovered early.
Therefore, when it was only burning for a little while, it was already extinguished.
There were almost no casualties. Only a few unlucky villagers were burned.
Coincidentally, the house that Qian Fan lived in was one of the houses that had been burned down by the flames.
His grandson was also burned to death in the house.
At that time, Qian Fan happened to be working in town.
In the end, when he came back, he learned of the bad news.
No one could explain how the fire started.
In the entire Qiu Nan Village, only his grandson was buried in the fire.
Qian Fan didn't say anything.
She didn't even cry.
He only found his grandson's charred corpse in the collapsed ruins.
Then, he remained silent and refused everyone's help.
He built a thatched cottage.
On that day, all the villagers felt that Qian Fan seemed to be different from before.
However, they couldn't tell what was different.
Seven days later.
Qian Fan actually recovered.
Once again, he was smiling and kind, almost no different from before.
Just like that, four years passed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone thought that Qian Fan had let go.
He planned to spend the rest of his life peacefully in the village.
In the end, one night four years ago.
Qian Fan secretly threw all the medicine he got into the village's well.
Then, in the middle of the night, a fire set the entire village on fire!
This time, other than himself, no other villagers were spared.
All of them were engulfed by the flames amidst their wails.
At the last moment, Qian Fan himself laughed and walked into the sea of fire.
Even though the ghost energy did not recover a second time.
However, with the resentment of the entire village.
Qiu Nan Village had also turned into a ghost realm.
Moreover, by chance, he had some connection with the Burial Earth.
In the end, it became a netherworld.
It could be considered a coincidence.
After the fire, the houses collapsed, the villagers died, and the grass on the ground was burned to charcoal.
However, the big locust tree in the center of the village had miraculously survived!
As the only living being in the Netherworld.
The big locust tree naturally merged with the world.
It became the pivot of the Netherworld.
A few months ago, the three brothers of the He family who had been working hard in the provincial capital finally returned.
What welcomed them was naturally the Ghost Realm.
The three brothers barely escaped from the ghost realm of South Qiu Village and even brought the Deed of Yin and Yang Ginseng left behind by their ancestors.
With the help of the second ghost energy recovery.
The three of them became the real Mister Yin Yang.
Naturally, they could tell that this village was extraordinary, so they entered the village for the second time.
However, this time, with their cultivation, they naturally did not have to be afraid of this group of ordinary malicious ghosts.
They found the creator of the Ghost Realm, Qian Fan's soul.
And lied to him.
As long as he placed his grandson's body in the big locust tree and did as they said.
One day, he would be able to resurrect his grandson and return to the world.
Then, everything that happened after that happened.
It had to be said that all of this was karma.
The mountain bandits killed all the natives of South Hill Village and left behind their descendants.
However, the descendants of these bandits didn't have a good ending.
Suffering from pain, his soul finally melted.
The He family used the ghosts of South Qiu Village to achieve their goals.
In the end, he didn't get the position of River God, but his soul was taken to hell.
His soul was scattered by the soul searching technique.
From the beginning to the end, he was the only innocent person.
Perhaps it was Qian Fan's grandson.
Unfortunately, he had already fused with the locust tree and devoured too many souls.
In his ignorance, he became the most ferocious ghost in the entire South Qiu Village.
He understood everything in the world.
For a moment, Su Hen felt a little emotional.
In the reincarnation of the underworld, karma was necessary.
If a good person did not have a good ending, his soul would need to be rewarded and compensated after entering the underworld. The gods of the underworld would also seek justice for him.
The wicked enjoyed wealth and glory when they were alive, but after their souls entered the underworld, they would be sent to hell and suffer endless pain.
This was the law of the heavens.
Just like Burial Earth.
After his soul entered the earth, he would completely forget his previous life and only know how to strengthen himself by hook or by crook.
That was the wrong path.
It was no wonder that a war would break out between the Netherworld and the Burial Earth in ancient times.
Until both sides paid a painful price.
The Ruler of Burial Earth was asleep, and Son of Heaven Yin was nowhere to be found.
Two completely different paths, two completely different ideas.
Naturally, they were incompatible.
However, such a war had become a benefit for the human world.
For hundreds of years, there were no ghosts or gods interfering with the human world.
Ordinary mortals had truly become the rulers of the world during this period of peace.
Unfortunately.
With the revival of the ghost energy in the world, the ancient myths gradually returned.
This world would be controlled by gods and ghosts.
Or rather, there were no gods in this world at all.
The gods of hell were also a special kind of ghost.
Ghosts that were the complete opposite of Burial Earth.
His thoughts flew far away.
"Sir?"
It was only when Bai Wuchang reminded him softly that Su Hen woke up from his rueful state.
"What is it?"
" Since the River God incident has come to an end," White Impermanence said softly," can we withdraw the reapers guarding the River God's mansion?"”
"Yes." Su Hen nodded.
"Inform them to return to the netherworld.”
"As for that dilapidated mansion, there's no need to worry about it.”
"It's good to let the humans understand something.”
"It's also to prepare for the return of the underworld to the human world in the future.”
After all, in the ancient era.
The Netherworld was an existence that almost everyone was familiar with.
Even the emperor was the chosen spokesperson of the underworld in the human world.
Now, the ghost qi had revived.
It was only a matter of time before the underworld returned to the human world.
Naturally, he had to make some preparations.
Bai Wuchang bowed slightly and walked out of the hall to make arrangements.
Su Hen's gaze once again landed on the many documents on the table.
He sighed slightly.
It was not easy to be a god.
Especially since he was a judge.
There were many matters in the netherworld, and the wishes of the millions of people in Jinling needed to be personally handled.
Perhaps, when he became the Yama King one day, he would have a higher position.
Only then could he leave all these chores to his subordinates.
As the reapers were evacuated.
The fog that shrouded the Jinling River gradually dispersed.
Ghost Control Bureau.
Many ghost controllers had been worried about the fog for the past few days.
After all, no one knew what had happened under the Jinling River.
Would it affect the city?
After all, Jin Ling City was still in its current state.
With the migration of the population, there was a constant influx of outsiders.
The number of people had already exceeded ten million.
It was even approaching the 20 million mark!
If something really happened and Jinling was hit by a disaster…
The result was equivalent to four or five ordinary cities being affected at the same time!
In the past few days, Zhang Ying had even prepared to apply to the Imperial Capital.
If it really didn't work, they would prepare to evacuate the population of Jin Ling City.
After all, nearly 20 million people was definitely not a small matter.
Of course, it was not easy to evacuate them.
Therefore, he had been thinking about it.
"Captain Zhang!"
However, at this moment.
A Ghost Commander suddenly barged into the office."Captain Zhang, the fog on the Jinling River seems to be dissipating!”
"What?" Zhang Ying suddenly stood up from behind the table.
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
However, Zhang Ying was not in the mood to worry about this. His eyes were fixed on the person reporting in front of him."Say that again?"
The ghost tamer panted and said,""The fog on the Jinling River is dissipating.”
"These few days, you've instructed us to have a few brothers on duty on the city walls to check the situation of the river.”
"This morning, the brothers on duty came to report that the fog that shrouded the Jin Ling River seemed to be much lighter than before.”
"And as time passes, it's gradually fading!”
In the past few days, all the areas and roads near the Jinling River had been blocked.
It was to prevent people from accidentally barging in.
However, Zhang Ying had arranged for a patrol team to be on duty on the city wall every day.
He was constantly observing the situation on the river.
"Captain Zhang?"
He looked at Zhang Ying who was standing there in a daze.
The ghost tamer couldn't help but ask in a low voice,""What should we do now?"
"I'll go over now!" Zhang Ying came back to his senses.
She didn't even have time to grab her coat and rushed out of the office.
Only a voice could be heard from afar.”
When it came to major matters, the Ghost Control Bureau had always been very efficient.
From the moment they received the news to the moment the people gathered by the city wall.
It only took about fifteen minutes.
Zhang Ying was standing on the city wall, observing the scene on the Jinling River with binoculars.
As expected, the thick fog had thinned a lot.
He could vaguely see the clear surface of the river.
Those reapers and gods also disappeared.
The cold aura in the air also became much fainter.
"Old Fang, guess what's going on?”Zhang Ying asked casually.
Fang Anson stood at the side with a bitter smile on his face.
How was he supposed to guess?
However, since the captain asked.
Fang Anson still answered with deliberation,"I feel that the ghost at the bottom of the river has been killed?”
"Or rather, the matters in the Netherworld have been settled.”
"Therefore, the Jin Ling River was unsealed.”
It had to be said that these words were somewhat reasonable.
"But I can't guarantee it yet." Zhang Ying nodded and said softly.”
"Let's wait and see."
"If the fog completely dissipates, we might be able to try to put some equipment down and go to the bottom of the river to take a look.”
They did not have to wait for long.
Around three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
The fog on the river surface had completely dispersed.
The clear waters of the Jinling River were once again revealed to everyone.
He didn't know why.
The ghost masters who were observing the situation felt that the Jin Ling River was different from before.
It seemed to have lost some spirituality?
They waited for another hour.
It was already five o'clock, but the Jin Ling River was still the same.
It was like an ordinary river.
Moreover, the sun was already in the west, and it was about to reach dusk.
Zhang Ying finally made up his mind. He waved his hand and said,"Put the diving equipment down."
The team members nodded.
Soon, a drone with diving equipment came to the center of the river.
With a command, the equipment fell into the water.
This was the latest technology from the capital.
In this era, the ghost energy had revived, and most of the resources had been invested in ghost controllers.
However, he did not fall too far behind in many basic science and technology.
Soon, the scene at the bottom of the river appeared clearly on the screen.
The corpses were gone.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
The sneaky thing at the bottom of the river had really been resolved.
Only Zhang Ying's expression remained solemn as he stared at the screen.
The equipment was still moving forward, and the entire bottom of the river had been explored.
It seemed that there was no corpse.
There were only a few skeletons left in some places.
However, this was also a normal situation.
Which river didn't have a few corpses under it?
Moreover, the Jinling River was not small and had been around for thousands of years.
Zhang Ying's expression relaxed slightly.
However, he still did not dare to slack off.
He controlled the equipment and continued to cruise in the river.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, a message from the device caught everyone's attention.
"A hidden abyss?"
Zhang Ying frowned slightly." Or rather, it's not an abyss, but some sort of ravine at the bottom of the river."”
At the bottom of a large river, there would be a ravine.
Most of these gullies were caused by the movement of the earth's crust.
Of course, there were also some special circumstances.
However, Zhang Ying instinctively felt that something was wrong with the ravine at the bottom of the Jinling River.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered,"Send the equipment over to take a look."”
"In addition, adjust the camera on the equipment to ensure that the image can be transmitted in real time and that the image is clear.”
A reply came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
Then, the image on the screen changed.
The ravine was very deep. Looking down from the edge, one could only see blurry darkness.
The lights on the equipment lit up.
The entire equipment fell into it.
Then, the scene in the ravine appeared on the screen.
Corpses!
A large number of corpses were buried in the ravine.
It turned out that the corpse at the bottom of the river had not disappeared.
Instead, they were all gathered here.
The equipment itself was only the size of a basketball.
Moreover, they were all machine creations and did not have any life clarity.
Therefore, after entering the ravine, it did not attract the attack of the corpse.
Everyone's expression turned solemn.
Although these corpses looked like ordinary corpses, they did not have the tendency to transform into malicious ghosts.
On the walls on both sides, there were some words.
However, after thousands of years of erosion by the river, these words were already blurred.
It was impossible to tell.
However, Zhang Ying was not disappointed. He continued to command the diving equipment to continue exploring.
Very quickly.
The dilapidated River God Mansion appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, all the ghost tamers held their breaths.
Even Zhang Ying was at a loss.
"What font is this?"
He looked at the words on the plaque and could not help but mutter to himself.
No one responded.
Zhang Ying had already taken control of the screen and took a screenshot.
He planned to turn all these screenshots into photos and send them to the Imperial Capital.
That was because the Imperial Capital had been studying all kinds of ancient history and all kinds of legends about the underworld.
Moreover, he had really developed something.
In ancient times, there might really be a netherworld!
Moreover, this underworld was the same as the one in the myths.
It was extremely powerful and ruled over the Yin and Yang worlds.
There were countless gods guarding it.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the underworld had disappeared.
It had almost completely disappeared in the long river of history.
Even the only records had been reduced to myths and legends.
After excavating many ancient tombs, he analyzed many ancient documents.
In the Imperial Capital, a type of language was discovered.
It was a language that had never been used on a large scale in human society.
Someone speculated.
Perhaps this was the language of the underworld.
It was the language used by ghosts!
Moreover, these words carried a special power.
Even so, there had been no breakthrough in the Imperial Capital.
But Zhang Ying could recognize it at a glance.
The words on the plaque of this mansion should belong to a type of hell language!
In other words, this ancient building seemed to be made entirely of stone.
It was very likely that it was inextricably linked to the ancient underworld.
Could it be that the Red-robed Judge had personally descended just for this ancient building?
Zhang Ying felt his heart beating faster.
It wasn't just Zhang Ying.
The other Ghost Commanders also widened their eyes and stared at the screen.
He was afraid that he would miss any detail.
This time, Zhang Ying didn't open his mouth.
The probe car swam toward the building.
The building looked dilapidated.
The door was even damaged.
Therefore, the equipment vehicle entered the building without any obstacles.
As time passed, countless images were reflected on the screen.
A hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the Ghost Commanders.
That was because it was really just a dilapidated building.
It could almost be described as ruins.
There was nothing valuable inside.
As for those crafts, they were not much different from the items in the human world.
But even so.
The information was still saved and prepared to be sent to the capital.
The professionals there would do the research.
Just like that, time passed unknowingly.
The disappointment in everyone's hearts grew.
However, just as Zhang Ying and the others sighed, thinking that this exploration was going to end.
An unexpected scene suddenly appeared on the screen.
It was a stone tablet!
From the looks of it, it had been at least a few thousand years since today.
On the front of the stone tablet, there were many words of the Netherworld engraved.
All of this was recorded and treated as precious information.
However, what was engraved on the back of the stone tablet was the ancient traditional script of Great Xia!
Pa--
The screen was suddenly blocked.
Zhang Ying stood up and looked at the Ghost Commanders behind him.""Now, everyone, get out."
"Today's matter requires the signing of confidential documents.”
"I don't think I need to tell you what the consequences will be if anyone dares to leak this information.”
Everyone's expression became serious.
Under Fang Anson's lead, they walked out of the room one by one and went to sign the documents.
As for Zhang Ying, he remained in the room.
The voice of the Ghost Commander came from the walkie-talkie,""Captain Zhang, do I need to leave?”
"Stop the equipment first and send the remote control over?”
He understood that this must involve something extremely confidential.
"No need."
Zhang Ying shook his head and said into the walkie-talkie,""You also need to sign a confidential document. If necessary, you might even have to go to the capital.”
"But for now, the equipment is still under your control.”
"Remember, you must take a picture of every word on this stone tablet!”
"I understand, Captain Zhang." The voice of the ghost tamer was firm.
He continued to control the equipment.
Meanwhile, Zhang Ying's eyes widened as he stared at the screen without blinking.
On the stone tablet, the traditional script gradually became clearer.
In the third year of Yonghui, there was a Jinling man named Xiao Pingyuan. He was kind and benevolent. He had noble moral character and was an official.
When he returned to Jinling, there was a flood and the people were homeless.
Xiao was exhausted and died. The emperor was grateful for his contribution and granted him the title of Jinling River God.
At that time, the seal of the sixth hall of the underworld, Yan Jun, the king of Bian City, was lost. The emperor issued an edict to grant his soul the title of River God.
The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
This was obviously an inscription used to record things.
In ancient times, some high-ranking officials and nobles liked to make such an inscription to remember their lives.
And this tablet obviously belonged to the River God of Jinling, Xiao Pingyuan!
Three years in Yonghui?
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was named Li Zhi.
He was the ninth son of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty!
In that era, the underworld already existed?
Although this tablet had been eroded by time, many of the words on it had been washed away by the river.
However, he could still roughly distinguish some things from the remaining words.
Although Zhang Ying was shocked, he was not too surprised.
After all, wasn't Qu Jingming conferred the title of Dachang City's City God?
They were former colleagues.
However, Qu Jingming's position as the City God was said to have been conferred by Son of Heaven Yin's edict.
However, the River God title recorded in this stele was another method.
First, the emperor of the human world would issue an edict to confer the title.
There were two copies of this edict.
One was sent to Jinling.
The other was sent to the ancestral temple.
The imperial edict was burned to the underworld by the sacrificial ceremony of the ancestral temple.
This imperial edict would be sent directly to the Yama King's table, and the Yama King would decide whether it would be passed or not.
If they didn't pass, they would naturally reject it.
The emperor's edict in the human world was just an ordinary symbolic meaning. It did not have any magical power.
If they passed, they would stamp their Yama Seal on the edict.
At this time, the imperial edict was officially established.
The imperial edict sent to Jinling would be accompanied by the power of the law of hell.
Xiao Pingyuan's soul would become the River God of Jinling after receiving the decree!
This was a complete set of procedures.
It was as if it had been established a long time ago!
In that case, many sacrificial activities in ancient times.
Perhaps he could get an explanation.
The ancient emperors could indeed communicate with the underworld to a certain extent.
The so-called carrying the heavens, following the destiny, carrying the great fortune.
Perhaps it was true!
The emperor worshiped the underworld and the gods of the underworld!
The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Ying felt.
The history of Great Xia over the past few thousand years was not as simple as what was recorded in the history books.
There were many things, even terrifying things.
It was all hidden in the history buried by time.
In the past few thousand years, there had been too many strange incidents.
It was impossible to tell whether it was a myth or a legend.
It was a historical event that had actually happened in a certain era!
"Captain Zhang?"
The voice of the ghost tamer woke Zhang Ying up from his thoughts.
He looked at the frozen image on the screen and frowned."What's wrong? Continue exploring."
"Captain Zhang, there's been an accident."
The ghost tamer said nervously through the walkie-talkie,"There seems to be some kind of special magnetic field around the stone tablet.”
"Although the magnetic field has been weakened over the years, it's still enough to affect the equipment.”
"Now, the cameras have stopped working.”
"Is there no way to repair it?" Zhang Ying frowned.
"We need to send professionals into the water to repair it.”the ghost tamer said.
"If that's the case, why do we still need equipment?" Zhang Ying snorted coldly.”
"I was worried that there would be great danger underwater, so I sent the equipment down to explore.”
The ghost tamer on the other side did not respond.
After some consideration, Zhang Ying turned off the screen.
"Old Fang!" he shouted.
"Captain Zhang." The door was pushed open and Fang Anson stood outside."What are your orders?"
"Gather the manpower."
Zhang Ying glanced at the black screen and said in a deep voice,""Get ready to enter the Jinling River!"
The safety of the personnel was important.
However, the value of that stone tablet…
It was simply immeasurable!
