Back to the early Tang Dynasty to be a fairy

Chapter 394: Master Chenghuang Creates Qi Min for Ghosts

In the shadow of the ghost city, all the ghosts looked at the golden light flashing in the sky, with fear on their faces.

The next moment, they heard a loud voice in their ears.

"For all the ghosts and ghosts in this yin land, you are limited to wait for two quarters of an hour to come to the residence of the people in front of the mansion. If you don't arrive after the time, you will be responsible for the consequences. It doesn't mean that the mansion is unpredictable!"

After hearing these words, although these ghosts were still afraid, at least they felt more at ease.

After all, before death, these ghosts were all good citizens of Chang'an City. At the foot of the emperor, he still knew very well what it meant to be a registered household.

That is to give yourself a household registration.

In other words, from now on, these ghosts of myself are no longer lonely ghosts, but ordinary people under Zhang Daoyuan City God.

However, they still don't understand why the household registration is registered.

When they were alive, the household registration was naturally for the convenience of the court to collect taxes from themselves, but now they are dead...

Do ghosts also need to pay taxes?
In the end, although most of the ghosts were afraid of life and paying taxes, they left their residences very honestly and walked towards the direction of the sound.

Of course, there are ghosts who don't believe in evil and didn't do what Zhang Daoyuan said, but quietly hid in a corner of Yindi, trying to avoid this action of registering Qimin.

One after another, the ghosts walked out of the house, followed the path of Yindi, and came to the other house of the God of Mount Tai, which is in front of the mansion that Zhang Chenghuang said, and saw two long rows of tables on the left and right in front of the door. .

Among them, behind the table on the left sat a dozen little ladies who were grinding ink, while behind the table on the right stood a burly man with a full face and an official robe with a round collar. And a bunch of shrinking spirits.

"The paper here, put it away quickly... Mo, why is there no ink here, you forgot... Hurry up and get it for someone?"

While checking, the special officer scolded the few elves who could barely be called reading monsters.

"Look at these fox ladies under Daoist Qingwei's hands, why are they already prepared, and you guys are so careless, you are men after all, don't you think you can't even compare with little ladies?

Don't tell a certain family that women are more careful, look at Jin Youzhang, why is he also ready?

What?Jin Youzhang is a human being...

You trash can't even compare to humans, what face do you have to be ghosts? "

Under the curious eyes of the ghosts all around, the special staff tossed and scolded for a long time, and finally got those literate spirits to sit down behind the table.

After two quarters of an hour, the front of the mansion was full of ghosts, and all kinds of ghosts were standing there.

Swish!
A golden light lit up, and an old man in a purple robe walked out of the golden light and stood in front of these ghosts. Then, from behind the old man, a Taoist priest in white and another in purple walked out. robed old man.

At this time, the first old man who appeared, that is, Zhang Daoyuan, the City God of Xijing, took a step forward, and swept his majestic eyes downward.

"My Zhang Daoyuan is the city god of the capital of Xijing handpicked by the Taishang Laojun. From now on, my mansion will sit in Chang'an and assist the Taishi Bureau to govern the ghosts, ghosts, mountain spirits and water monsters in the entire Jingzhao land, clean up crimes, and rectify lawlessness. , to protect good ghosts..."

After hearing these words, although these ghosts in the shade still had fear on their faces, they suddenly relaxed.

This is all thanks to Kong Qing!

Ever since he found out that Buddhism spared no effort to blackmail the Taishi Bureau among spirits and ghosts, he immediately took targeted countermeasures in Chang'an.

First of all, the "Chang'an City Sweeping Violence and Evil Special Action" was held to deal with those big monsters who were domineering in Chang'an City, including the evil spirits in various shades. The sky in the world of demons and ghosts in the city is bright and clear.

Then Kong Qing vigorously promoted the good demon certificate, letting ghosts and elves know that as long as they abide by the law, the Taishi Bureau will not harm them.

Of course, if the so-called popular mouth makes money, if only relying on these two methods, I am afraid that even if the image of the Taishi Bureau is reversed, it will be limited.

But Kong Qing, who is well aware of the importance of propaganda work, while doing these things, he also used the search foxes to buy many big Vs among ghosts, spirits, and ghosts. With rhythm and wind direction, repeated propaganda such as "Taishi Bureau will never subdue demons at will, those before were all rumors and malicious alienation" and other things.

In front of this three-pronged measure, the old-fashioned rumor-making methods of those bald people were immediately washed away, and the image of the Taishi Bureau in Yindi had a 180-degree flip in a few months.

Those ghosts who dare to come out at night to open shops all over Chang'an are the best proof!

So after hearing that this god was related to the Taishi Bureau, the ghosts present finally let go of their worries about their own lives, and began to look at the god in front of them with concern.

As long as one's own life is safe, things like taxes...then you still have to pay!
Next, the ghosts of Yintu saw the god who called himself Zhang Daoyuan speak in a respectful tone to the Taoist priest in white who stood aside.

"Realist Qingwei, please use your magic power to find ghosts and ghosts that have not come to report in this Yin soil."

"good!"

After hearing Zhang Daoyuan's words, Kong Qing took a step forward and shook the whisk in his hand.

"I invite the mirror fairy!"

Afterwards, two clear lights appeared behind Kong Qing, and then the ghosts present saw two ancient mirrors, one large and one small, appear from the clear lights, like two full moons, slowly rising in the cloudy soil, turning the cold The radiance sprinkled on the ground.

"what!"

When the ancient mirror rose, there was a burst of panic shouts from the ghosts present.

For some reason, when they saw these two ancient mirrors, these ghosts couldn't help but feel a burst of fear from their hearts, as if their bodies would melt in the cold mirror light in the next moment.

"Don't panic!"

At this time, Kong Qing had already stood up, the sapphire ring on his finger flashed, and a soft voice came into the ears of these ghosts.

"Mirror Immortal is upright and selfless, she will not harm you."

When Kong Qing was speaking, the clear light of the ancient mirror had fallen on these ghosts, and it was exactly as Kong Qing said, this clear light did not hurt them.

Immediately, these ghosts saw an exclamation coming from a room not far away, and then a guy with a roe-headed mouse eye and a cunning face stumbled out of the room.

"Ah! There is a ghost..."

The ghosts present looked at this slippery ghost running around like a headless fly, with confused expressions on their faces.

What are ghosts afraid of?
Which one of these present is not a ghost...

At this moment, Zhang Daoyuan, who was standing in the air, seemed to have expected this moment long ago, and waved his hand to the bottom.

"Take it!"

"Yes!"

A tall, thin man from the Western Regions dressed as a barbarian led seven or eight heavily armed spirits, rushed forward, and quickly captured the slippery ghost.

Until this moment, this slippery ghost was like waking up from a dream.

"Yes, I am a ghost, what the hell am I afraid of?"

Next, the ghosts hiding one after another were discovered by Gu Jing, and after being charmed by the illusion, they ran out of the hiding place voluntarily and consciously, and were captured by An Zhigao.

After Qing Guang from the ancient mirror circled around, the light on the two mirrors dimmed and fell behind Kong Qing.

"The government just said that those who fail to arrive after the time limit will be responsible for the consequences. Since these guys have violated the orders of the government, it is no wonder that the government is responsible."

With that said, Zhang Daoyuan waved his hand and said firmly.

"Slap each of these guys with ten lashes and shackle them here for three days, as a warning to others!"

"Yes!"

An Zhigao agreed, and dragged all the hiding guys down very neatly, and soon after that, he heard the sound of crackling whips, as well as cries of pain.

After hearing this sound, the ghosts present looked at Zhang Daoyuan with a bit of fear in their eyes.

"Just now, those who disobeyed the government's order were taught because they made mistakes, so they have to be punished,"

Zhang Daoyuan glanced at these ghosts with majestic eyes, and then said.

"But you have all obeyed the orders of the government, so don't worry that the government will punish you. In fact, not only will the government not punish you, but also plan to reward you."

Hearing that there was a reward, these ghosts all showed disbelief on their faces, but they immediately saw Zhang Daoyuan wave his hand and shout loudly.

"Bring it up!"

Following the voice, a few sprites walked out with a few large plates and a large barrel. After the ghosts present saw clearly what was on the plate, they were instantly stunned.

"Ghost food?"

"honeydew!"

"..."

"That's right!"

Zhang Daoyuan looked at the surprised expressions of the ghosts below with satisfaction, and nodded slightly.

"This is the reward from this government to you, as long as you are honest..."

As he spoke, Zhang Daoyuan pointed to the ghosts led by Secretary Fox and the special staff sitting on both sides of the mansion.

"The two sides report their names and addresses, and after completing the registration of Qimin, each person can get a spoonful of ghost food and nectar."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Daoyuan saw those ghosts rushing towards those secretary foxes and special officers.

"I'll come first, I'll come first..."

"Record me, record me..."

"..."

Seeing the enthusiastic ghosts below, Kong Qing smiled slightly at Zhang Daoyuan.

"Mr. Zhang, Pindao can only help you here. After these ghosts are registered as householders, it's up to you how to manage them."

"Qingwei, don't worry!"

Zhang Daoyuan replied confidently.

"Other things may not work, but I still have some experience in how to be a parent. However, to appease these ghosts, incense is indispensable. This matter still needs to be taken care of."

"Don't worry! The poor will invite the third lady...Princess Pingyang personally went to the saint to propose building a Town God's Temple in Dongshi. As for the incense in the temple?"

Kong Qing pointed with his hand towards the ghosts below who were scrambling for a bite to eat.

"You have so many ghosts in your hands, why worry about incense, learn from those monks, mobilize these ghosts to fill Chang'an City, give dreams to those people, let them come to Chenghuang Temple to offer incense!"
