"It seems to have changed a lot. ”

Li Xiuyuan rode a dragon horse and came to the Wangchuan River.

Winter nights always come quickly, and at this moment it is already dark, but by the river there are figures flickering, passing endlessly, and the wind is howling around.

The original ferry port was empty, because a new ferry had been built upstream, and it had been completely abandoned, and he could vaguely see on the other side of the river, half of the stone tablet standing in the dirt, with two large vermilion lacquer characters engraved on it: Wangchuan.

At this moment, a yin soldier and ghost sent to escort the unjust ghosts captured from all over the country, crossed the river, and prepared to escort these unjust ghosts to the underworld, so as not to let them make trouble in the yang world.

"Yes, there are fewer ghosts and ghosts in the yang world, and there are not so many gods and ghosts happening, which can make the world clearer. When Li Xiuyuan saw these Yin soldiers, he couldn't help but nod secretly.

Although there are not many powerful ghosts, if the dead souls are allowed to stay in the yang world, sooner or later the ghosts will turn into evil ghosts, and evil ghosts will harm the living.

Only when the source stops, everything will get better.

This is Li Xiuyuan's first step in governing the yang world.

It's a pity that this beautiful beginning was disrupted by Li Liangjin's rebels.

"The imp has seen the saint. At this time, a Yin soldier saw Li Xiuyuan standing by the river on a white horse, and immediately greeted him respectfully, and bowed his hand.

When the ghosts behind the Yin soldiers heard this, they were immediately startled, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "Meet the saint." ”

The ghosts in the distance, who were bound in chains, couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw the scene here.

"Look, those soldiers, the poor master actually knelt down in front of a living person, who is that person? Could it be the king of Yama?"

"You said that you are a living person, where will it be the king of Yama, the yang energy on this person's body is too strong, standing there is like a huge furnace, I feel a little painful to be roasted here. ”

"Bah, these Yin soldiers, ghosts are all dog eyes, we do a good job of ghosts, but we have to be arrested, hunted and killed, we are treated like pigs and dogs, we can beat if we want, scold if we want, but we are so respectful to this living person. ”

A ghost next to him whipped him angrily: "You evil ghost still has the face to complain here, when I was waiting to arrest you, you bewitched three women in a village, and you were happy with the women in your dreams every day, and they died of illness, and you also pretended to be a fairy to deceive incense offerings, pretending to be a god and using clay as a magic medicine to cure diseases, killing more than a dozen patients, if it weren't for the regulations from above, an evil ghost like you would definitely be killed on the spot, and there would be no chance for you to be reincarnated." ”

"Hey, treat you as a pig and dog? I don't know if you're qualified to be a pig or dog in your next life. Another ghost sneered and said, "You evil ghosts still have the face to talk about saints here, because you received less whips before, right?"

After saying that, this ghost also rewarded a few whips, and the evil ghosts who smoked screamed.

"Why don't you beat those peasant women and beggars?"

A ghost in a gorgeous shroud pulled open the flesh and howled in pain.

There was another group of ghosts who were escorted not far away, but those ghosts had a good attitude, not beating or scolding, but were polite, completely different from these ghosts who whipped at every turn.

The ghost glanced at it and snorted coldly: " The peasant woman was filial to her parents, raised her children, and helped some poor people in the same village, she was a kind woman, the beggar was originally a landlord, because she had helped hundreds of people in a disaster year, and the grain harvest was poor and the rent of many tenants was exempted, and there were countless living people, and she should have enjoyed the blessings in her later years, but she drowned in a flood, so she was not a beggar, but a blessed ghost, and saw that there was no clear light coming out of their bodies, only the good and meritorious ghosts had such light, look at you, all of them were black and gloomy, and the smell was incomparable, and at a glance you knew that you had done too much evil in life, and the people of fish and flesh, and the evil thoughts did not disperse after death, so that they polluted their souls and emitted a stench of black smoke, to the good ghosts, that is, the ghost generals, the adults should also be polite, to you, if you are not chopped up, it is worthy of you. ”

Hearing this, those evil ghosts were immediately speechless, and did not know how to refute them.

"Even if you don't get retribution in life, you will get retribution after death, do you really think that you can live happily and happily when you are alive, and you want to be powerful and prosperous after death? ”

Li Xiuyuan glanced at the evil ghosts who were escorted and whipped, and couldn't help asking, "What is the general treatment of these evil ghosts escorted to the underworld?"

The Yin soldier next to him said, "Hui saints are generally used as coolies to build ghost towns. ”

"Yes, it's a good way, who is this from?" Li Xiuyuan nodded.

Instead of scourging and torturing these demons, it is better to let them contribute to the construction of Hades.

"It was Master Li Zhong who came up with it. "Yin Bingdao.

Li Zhong?

This is a guard beside Li Xiuyuan, who became a Yin soldier after his death, and was left by him in Guobei County to manage the ghosts and gods of this place.

"He's a good guy as a guard. Li Xiuyuan smiled: "How is the ghost city in the underworld built?"

Yin Bing said: "More than half of it has been built, why don't the saints go to the underworld to have a look?"

"That's right, stop by and take a look. Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "You guys continue to be busy." ”

As he spoke, he rode his dragon horse and prepared to cross the Wangchuan River.

Ryoma is a divine horse, not only can climb mountains and mountains, but also can tread water without sinking, the dragon horse falls on the river surface as if stepping on land, will not fall into the river at all.

On the river, he saw those unjust ghosts trapped in chains, pulled by the ghosts, directly pulled them over from the other side of the river, directly across the river, some of the evil spirits were even bitten out by fish and shrimp, the gravel in the river bitten out, cut the flesh, and they screamed in pain.

The gravel in the river is heavy and can cause damage to these unjust ghosts.

But those good and good ghosts came across the river in a ferryboat.

On the ferry, there were farmers, beggars, poor scholars, and a few kind old men.

"Good and evil, good. Li Xiuyuan nodded in his heart, rode the dragon horse and left immediately.

Along the way, there are traces of yin soldiers and ghosts.

All the way to Lanruo Temple.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall in the Lanruo Temple has been renamed, now it is not called the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is no Buddha in it, only Yin soldiers, ghosts, and some scribes, every time the ghosts pass by here, they will come here to settle down, and register the evil ghosts that are caught, and then send them to the underworld.

Although the construction of the Ghost Gate Pass has only been less than half a year, with Li Xiuyuan's governance and the help of the ghosts and gods of the Quartet, they have begun to become orderly.

It's just not enough.

Li Xiuyuan understands that this is only a temporary order, and there are still many things to be done if you want long-term peace and stability.

"Big young master, are you back? The little one heard a Yin soldier say that you want to go to the Ghost Gate Pass to have a look, and the little one is waiting here. At this time, a ghost general came over and said politely and respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Li Zhong, I haven't seen you become a ghost general for a while." ”

This ghost general is the guard Li Zhong who died for Li Xiuyuan before.

Li Zhong said with a smile: "That's all thanks to the blessing of the eldest young master, who can enjoy the incense offering after death and govern here." ”

"No, what you said is not right, it's not my blessing, but your own blessing, if you don't catch ghosts and demons in this area, how can the people worship you, incense offering is not enjoyment, but a responsibility, I saw it when I came here, and the management is not bad, but I don't know what happened to the underworld?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"The little one invited a few good scholars and ghosts to go to the ghost town of the underworld to manage, although it is a little rough, but it is passable, if the young master wants to go to the underworld, he has to go from the back mountain of Lanruo Temple, where there is a passage leading directly to the ghost gate, the previous hole has been blocked, this is the master's order, I am afraid that someone will fall down again, the Taoist also said that it is not right for the portal of the underworld to lead directly to the yang world, so such a passage was built. Li Zhong said.

"Oh, I'm going to take a look. Li Xiuyuan nodded.

When he came to the back mountain of Lanruo Temple, he really saw a memorial arch standing there, the memorial arch was built of stone, and he was very acquainted, and there were four big characters engraved on it: the living person stops.

Under the archway is a passage, along the steps straight to the underground, from time to time there is a wave of yin qi rushing.

"Is there really a problem with the passage being built here?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

"The little one also felt that something was wrong, so he sent Yin soldiers to guard around here day and night, but the Taoist chief said that this passage is invisible to mortals, and ghosts and gods can't go, only living people can't go, and it's specially built for the eldest young master. Li Zhong said.

"I'm afraid it's a lot of money. Li Xiuyuan said: "It's a bit of a waste for me to go in and out of the underworld." ”

Li Zhong said: "Relying on the Taoist skills of the Taoist, it was not built by a craftsman, and the Taoist said that he wanted to leave a passage for the living, and the little one felt that the Taoist was very right, so he didn't tell the eldest young master about this little thing." ”

"Did my master build it? I'm afraid it has a deep meaning. Li Xiu said from afar.

Walking along this passage, he found that the passage was actually made of jade, and there were some runes engraved in the jade, runes, shining light, some of which he recognized, were runes that were evil and ghostly.

No wonder Li Zhong said that this passage was for the living, and when the ghosts and gods walked here, it was like walking into a trap, and they would definitely die a miserable death.

The dense runes were linked, forming a whole with the simple passage of jade, building a passage that could only allow the living to pass through and the dead to stop.

Walking to the lens of the passage, sure enough.

Two Vajra Arhats hold swords, subduing demons and pestles, standing with their eyes closed, majestic and extraordinary, a gate like a city gate opens, and between entering and exiting, the ghosts are terrible, and the ghosts are poor.

"Big young master, ahead is the ghost town you ordered to build last time. Li Zhong appeared from another direction.

"Go check it out. Li Xiu said from afar.

Accompanied by Li Zhong, he passed through the ghost gate and entered the underworld.

As soon as he entered the underworld, he saw a towering city rising from the ground in the distance, and this city was endless, and he saw that all kinds of houses, mansions, and palaces in the city were built in the underworld, and there were some places that were being built, and there were ghosts who were urging the evil spirits to work.

"This ghost town is well built, and it won't take long to complete it. Li Xiuyuan nodded and expressed satisfaction: "This is managed and built?"

"It's a little demon, it's a little demon, a saint in the world, you're finally here, the little demon has been dutiful during this time, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest. ”

On the gate of the ghost gate, the thousand-year-old bat demon spoke, and two green rays of light shone out of its eyes, falling on the ground in the underworld, reflecting the green around it, and it was a little infiltrating to see.

This green light is not useless, but any evil ghost who tries to escape from the ghost gate will immediately be scattered as long as he is hit by this green light.

There are these thousand-year-old bat spirits holding the ghost gate, and it is difficult for ghosts to escape from the underworld.

"Your ability to build a city is very good, and after this city is built, I can reduce your sentence as appropriate. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Thank you, saints on earth. The Bat Demon said with some elation.

"But although the ghost city is good, why is there such a big hole in the city wall? Could it be that it has collapsed by cutting corners?" Li Xiuyuan suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the city wall to the north.

There, a large chunk had collapsed over the walls.
