There was rain in the spring, yesterday it was still sunny, and the next day, the spring rain began to fall in the morning, and it continued to drizzle until the afternoon.

Tong Xuan sat in a small pavilion in the courtyard, looking at the rain, and very leisurely sipping sake and a few side dishes.

Because the world is calm and the situation has been settled, Tongxuan's worries no longer exist.

Originally, it was only a chess piece, but now it has risen sharply, and it has some friendship with the founding emperor of Dacheng.

The mansion where he lives now was given by the emperor.

The specifications of the Curse Forbidden Division are the five products, Tongxuan and a few, as the earliest batch, they are all meritorious to assist the monarch, and they all have official positions of the sixth grade, in addition to the Taoist temple, they all have their own mansions, which is not a strange thing.

This mansion is located in the outer city of Jinling, not in the city, this place is close to a stream, the feng shui is good, it is very suitable for cultivators to live, in Tong Xuan's opinion, it is far better to live in such a place than to live in the city.

Moreover, there are not many residents around this mansion, there is an open space with some flowers and plants, and the air near it is very fresh, even in the afternoon, a breath is faintly scented with earth and plants.

The area of the mansion is not large, and it is very exquisitely repaired, with seven main rooms, from west to east, which are the washing place, the inner room for sleeping, the daily living room, the small flower hall, the large flower hall for receiving guests, the study, and the small storeroom for storing valuables.

There are several wings on the left and right sides of the main house, and the two wings on the west side are inhabited by several servants and servants, and the wings on the east side are temporarily vacant, but there are often people who come to clean them.

In addition to these, in this mansion, there are horse toilets, large and small kitchens, gatehouses, rockery pavilions, all available, and there is a small garden in front of the main house, in which some simple flowers and plants are planted in the cold season, there is already a vitality.

At this time, I saw a faint rain and fog, a carriage arrived in front of the door, and one person came out first and opened the oil umbrella, allowing a woman in a green dress to walk down from the carriage in front of the gate.

It is a man who holds an umbrella, only his appearance is less masculine and a little more feminine, and such people who often come and go in the circle of elites will see their true status.

The chamberlain went to knock on the door first, and a servant whispered a few words and reported inside, and after a while, it reached Tongxuan.

"Got a token?" Tong Xuan was silent, stood up, and smiled: "I'm going out to greet you." ”

The guest was welcomed to the small hall, and the person who came was very special, and it stands to reason that a woman could not visit a man at will, but this woman had an official position and was a female official. )

The female officer did not beat around the bush: "On the orders of the Lord of the Spell, you immediately execute this order, and this order is specific here." ”

She directly said what she meant, handed Tong Xuan a scroll with a title, and left immediately.

came suddenly, and left quickly, which made Tong Xuan's heart sink slightly.

The scroll in his hand was slowly unfolded, and the contents on it were clearly written.

The emperor ordered the Curse Forbidden Division to count the gods in the world, and the Curse Forbidden Division Niangniang ordered him to go down to the underworld to check the situation of the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

Just after reading the above content, a golden light lit up from the scroll and submerged into the body, without saying much, Tong Xuan already understood his task.

"Ordered to check on the ghosts?" Tong Xuan felt the breath that this order brought him, and his heart was clear.

Although it was not the emperor who gave the order directly, there was indeed an emperor's breath sealed inside, and in an instant, on the original breath of Tongxuan, there was an additional kind of bright yellow light flame with a certain message implicitly contained in the flame, which was very majestic and deterrent.

Such a thing is not difficult for him, and with the responsibility of the emperor, this is more qualified.

When Tong Xuan went back, he put on a Taoist robe, stood up, and when he arrived at a secret room, he calmly waved to a god statue, and sat down quietly in his robe.

It was only a moment, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the heavens and the earth were chaotic, and light and darkness were intertwined, which was the junction between the underworld and the world.

This yin and yang interweaving is not suitable for the soul to survive at all, the gray space, only a distant place, there is a large hall, faintly visible three yin gods, this yin god has a light flame, the light flame red stretches two meters, knowing that this is a priesthood.

When I saw myself, I saw that I also had about four meters of light, but a large ball of bright yellow light flame was attached to my body, turning into a ten-meter light flame that turned up and down, and the red was sandwiched with bright yellow, this was the emperor's order.

According to the normal way, it is safe for the world to enter the underworld, and the souls of people are mostly weak after death, and it is this passage that they take to enter the underworld, so naturally there will not be too strong resistance.

The problem is that this road is really a bit long, and it will take a long time to walk, and for those who want to do things, if they want to enter the underworld quickly, they have to take a shortcut.

Such shortcuts abound at the junction, and when many great powers have come down, they mostly take such shortcuts, but each of these shortcuts is very dangerous.

But this is for the souls of ordinary people, and for those who have cultivated to a high level, the danger is just a small skill of carving insects.

Tongxuan found a shortcut from there to the underworld.

Along the way, the surrounding environment, a chaotic, gray space, from time to time there are voices, high and low, with the dark and dim light, making people creepy.

After arriving in the underworld, there is also a large wilderness area.

It wasn't until I walked out for a long time that I saw a temple standing in the distance, and most of the temples built in this way were only inhabited by ghosts and gods who had just had some priesthood, although they avoided the tragic fate of dissipating their bodies directly, but they were still far from being able to live in the center of the underworld.

After walking for a while, a ghost god came in front of him, this ghost god had a three-meter flame of light, red shining, tall and wearing armor.

"I heard that the emperor's envoy came, and I missed the welcome, so please don't blame the envoy. "As soon as they met, they saluted and were very respectful.

Hearing that he was called the Emperor's Envoy, Tong Xuan was not surprised.

The lord of the world, the emperor of the Dacheng Dynasty, already has the personality of the Son of Heaven, and he is called the emperor when he is alive, and there is nothing wrong with it in the divine right, and Wang Hongyi is not just a human emperor.

The bright yellow light flame is rolling, implying the majesty and deterrence, with it, when facing this ghost and god, Tongxuan has a feeling of overlooking, Tongxuan understands very well, this is the role of the emperor's will.

The official position of this ghost and god is not low, so Tongxuan explained his intention: "I will follow the emperor's order to check the underworld to distinguish the world's sacrifices." ”

The ghost god was respectful and said that he cooperated with Tongxuan: "The little god should be ordered to lead the way." ”

With this person by his side, Tongxuan felt that this trip would be much more convenient, so he said, "I'm tired." ”

Seeing Tongxuan's agreement, this ghost and god are also happy, and the emperor's envoy usually can't see it.

It is difficult for the Yin Spirit of Ten Thousand Tribulations to enter the Holy Land, and it is very difficult to practice by itself in the underworld, if it can be sent down by heaven, even if it is only a little, it can also benefit them a lot, it is willing to help the messenger sent by the emperor, hoping that after the matter is done, it can have some grace.

As for the thoughts of ghosts and gods, Tongxuan, as a monk, understood very well, and did not stop the way, and after the two finished speaking, they would not continue to stay here, so they turned around and descended.

The underworld also changes with the unification of the upper realm, and the underworld at this time is the stage of restoration.

The first layer of the underworld, a dim and slightly light world, but it is already the best area of the underworld, in fact, Tongxuan is still a little strange, why many souls do not live here, but continue to fall.

The moment he descended to the second layer, Tong Xuan took a look and found that there was a faint flicker of light in the direction that some ordinary soul bodies were taking.

However, this is not the world, and the faint light will not be the lights of ordinary people's homes.

"Emissary, these souls are going to the Hades Temple for trial, and as soon as they enter the Hades Land, they will be guided to the first level, and the officials here will determine where they will go next, and the light is where the Hades Temple is located..."The ghost god explained respectfully.

He had heard of these Tongxuan, but he had heard it from his predecessors, which had little to do with him.

The second layer is even darker than the top, and some souls can already be seen everywhere here, but they are all souls dim, looking dull, as if they have long lost their consciousness, and only know to follow the road and keep walking towards the front.

However, this is not the destination yet, so the descent continues.

"Messenger, here, this is the third layer. The ghost said, pointing, strangely, there are some places on the third floor that are much better.

Pointing to a place from afar, the village was faintly visible, and Tongxuan asked, "Where is this?"

"Messenger, the family of emperors and sages of the past dynasties, there is a shade, this is the Zhang family, the Zhang family has been extinct for three hundred years, but there is still a remnant of shade to shelter. ”

"This is not the core of the Zhang family, just a vassal land, it is a branch of the original royal family, all the descendants of the Zhang family of this branch can be sheltered here, the world has been gone for three hundred years, and there are not many shelters, but although it is not good here, it is much better than many underworld areas. ”

Saying this, but Tong Xuan glanced at it, and saw that it was all dim soul bodies, and he was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help sighing, even if he was sheltered, it was not easy.

I also think of the imperial court system, the emperor's seal has seven seals, which was later simplified into three seals and one treasure, among which "the seal of the Son of Heaven." "It's about the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, and it is only used for ghosts and gods.

The court customized, there are reasons, and later generations think that there are many, but they don't know the mysteries.

Tong Xuan remembered that he had just passed by, and when he saw a skeleton-like numb soul body due to the lack of offerings, he sighed in his heart.

Many people struggle in the material world for a lifetime, and some people think that they will be liberated after death, but in fact, most people face a more difficult environment than in the yang world after death.

There is no need for the so-called Yin Rhythm torture, just now these numb and sluggish souls had to suffer how much pain it took to torture them like this.

However, this matter could not be interfered with, and with a sigh, he continued to step forward.
