Reapers were law enforcers of the netherworld. They were responsible for bringing the souls of the dead to the netherworld to be judged by the laws of the netherworld.
Under normal circumstances, reapers would only come to the human world when they were trying to steal souls. After all, the order of the Yin and Yang worlds restricted them.
But at this moment.
In Ren Town, there were hundreds of reapers traveling at night.
So many people died in Ren Town?
That shouldn't be the case. If there were really mass deaths, Ji Xiushen should have heard of it in Ren Family Town.
At this moment.
Ji Xiu rode his sword and hovered in the air above Ren Jia Town. He crossed his arms and looked at the ghostly reapers below.
Ordinary people couldn't see these reapers. They could only feel the cold wind.
"Ninth Uncle went to another place to look at Feng Shui the day before yesterday. It seems that I have to investigate it myself. Perhaps I can trigger some mission.”Ji Xiu thought.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly.
Ji Xiu felt a gust of cold wind whirling on the street below his feet. It stopped there and did not dissipate, as if it was specially waiting.
The sword light descended.
Ji Xiu stood in front of the cold wind.
"Come out."
he said.
The gust of cold wind turned, and a short, hunchbacked old man appeared. He then cupped his fists and bowed respectfully to Ji Xiu.
"Mr. Ji."
The little old man called out respectfully.
"It's me." Ji Xiu nodded.
The little old man said," Greetings, sir. I am a local land under the Shing Wong's command. The Shing Wong has invited you, sir. I hope you will give me face."”
"Oh? City God? Invite me?" Ji Xiu was surprised.
The City God was a god that protected the people of a region. In fact, he was the Yin God of the netherworld and was under the jurisdiction of the Netherworld.
The birth and death of mortals had to be reported to the local city god.
As for the little old man in front of him, he was the land under the City God. Speaking of which, the land and the City God were both Yin souls that belonged to the Netherworld.
"Shing Wong actually knows me?" Ji Xiu said in surprise.
The local god smiled humbly." The Shing Wong is in charge of an area, so he probably knows what happened there. Besides, Mister Ji appeared in Ren Town as the descendant of the Dragon Rearing clan. Dragon roars shook the grave mountain, and dragons fought zombies. It's hard for the Shing Wong not to know about such things.”
Hearing this, Ji Xiu smiled. It made sense.
"Mister, please make a trip to the Shing Wong Temple.”The land god bowed again.
"Ding! Quest triggered: City God's commission. Quest reward: 2000 experience points, one mysterious treasure chest.”
He had triggered a mission.
Coincidentally, Ji Xiu also wanted to know what had happened in Ren Town, so he nodded and said,""Let's go to the City God Temple."
As he spoke, Ji Xiu grabbed his disciple and stepped on a sword light, heading straight for the City God Temple on the southern slope of the city.
" Oh my god, be careful, mister. This old man…is afraid of heights…"
Under the night sky, the frightened cries of the earth came.
The distance from here to the City God Temple was not far. With the help of the flying sword, they arrived almost instantly.
As the sword light descended, Ji Xiu and the land appeared in front of a temple. It was the City God Temple.
"Sir is here. Please come in."
A man's voice came from the City God Temple.
Ji Xiu didn't argue and walked in casually.
In the main hall in the center of the temple stood a bearded man in a green official robe. He cupped his hands in greeting when he saw Ji Xiu enter.
Ji Xiu looked up at the Shing Wong statue in the hall and realized that it looked exactly like this man. This person was the Shing Wong of Ren Town.
In addition, this person was obviously not a living person. He was a ghost, but he was more solid than ordinary ghosts and lacked a ghost aura.
"Mister Ji, I am the Ren family town's City God, Pu Shiren.”Shing Wong cupped his fists.
"I know you're not human. The Shing Wong is a god, but he's actually a ghost.”Ji Xiu nodded nonchalantly.
"Uh…No, my surname is Pu. Pu as in Pu Songling, called Shiren.”Shing Wong said awkwardly.
"This name…your dad is really talented." Ji Xiu was speechless.”
City God Pu Shiren invited Ji Xiu to take a seat. There was actually tea in the temple, which seemed to be a bit of hospitality.
However…
The Shing Wong was also a Yin spirit, belonging to the netherworld. Could the tea that the Yin spirit invited be drunk?
City God Pu Shiren seemed to have seen through Ji Xiu's misgivings and quickly smiled.""Sir, don't worry. This is normal tea.”
The two of them sat opposite each other.
Pu Shiren said," I've troubled you this time. I should have called Lin Fengjiao over. After so many years, Lin Fengjiao and I have worked well together. It's just that Taoist Master Lin isn't here. In the entire Ren Family Town, I can only think of you because this matter is really tricky."”
"What happened?" Ji Xiu took a sip of tea and asked.”
If it was just a ghost, it was impossible for it to make things difficult for a city god. There must be a reason behind it.
"Recently, a strange thing happened. Someone is stealing merit points."”
"Stolen merit?" Ji Xiu was stunned.
"Merit is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it really exists," Pu Shiren explained. For example, the experts in the Dao Sect did not kill demons for a living, but for merit. After merit was added to one's body, it would affect one's luck and also greatly benefit one's cultivation.”
"As for us Yin Gods, we enjoy incense to accumulate merit. The worship and faith of the people can provide merit for us.”
"But…"
At this point, Pu Shiren's expression changed, and he said,""Something strange has happened recently. Something is stealing the merits of the Shing Wong Temple. It's not only in Ren Town, but also in the nearby towns.”
"How exactly did you steal it?" Ji Xiu asked.
This was the first time he had heard of someone stealing merit points. It was quite interesting.
"There is a female ghost who appears every midnight and steals the merit with a sorcery," said Pu Shiren, the City God.”
"It's just a mere female ghost. Can't you stop it with your Shing Wong's cultivation?" Ji Xiu couldn't help but ask.”
" If it was just a ghost, it wouldn't be difficult," Pu Shiren said." The problem is that there's a group of powerful paper men around the female ghost. They're like divine weapons descending from the sky."”
" Female ghost…paper figurine…"
Ji Xiu fell into deep thought. Could it be related to her?
