I am the Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 40
Zhang Qi closed his eyes and felt the last moment.

I have been decisive for most of my life, but I didn't expect to be confused when I was old.

I hope there is still time this time, so that future generations will not be harmed.

It's just a pain for Cong'er....

Zhang Qizhi's death was not announced until evening, and it was declared to be a sudden illness.

Zhang clan land.

Everyone quickly selected the cemetery.

The wizard puts on a red robe and a mask and stands before the tomb.

Had bathed and fasted beforehand.

He asked his men to surround the tomb with red cloth in the shape of an octagonal eight trigrams.

Then prepare swords, bows, arrows, and grass, and place them on the altar built with stones.

Swords, bows and arrows are made of metal, common people and savages are made of wood; grass is new reed, common people are weeds.

On one side, the wizard danced with his hands and feet, dancing in the smoke of moxa.

The disciples on the other side wrote down the land purchase certificate and the land complaint policy according to the time of the tomb owner's death.

Open mountains and cut grass, break ground and establish bonds.

This is the so-called mountain-cutting ceremony.

Soon, the ceremony ended, the coffin was buried, and the sword, bow and arrow were put into the grave.

Seal the soil and bury the volume.

Zhang Cong, who was only 14 years old, looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.

He really wanted to cry, but the reality didn't allow it. The Zhang family was all on him now. As a son, he could cry, but as the head of the family, he couldn't show any weakness, especially in this dangerous situation.

His father is the object of his admiration, but in recent years, there has been a slight omission.

That is to value the ancestral land and the so-called glory of the ancestors too much, and not willing to give up.

To develop and grow under the eyes of others is bound to suffer disaster.

After everything is sorted out, the funeral is over.

Whoa!
At this time, the wind suddenly picked up.

A golden light fell from the sky and sank into the cemetery.

Then the golden light flashed away, and a faint figure disappeared in the golden light.

The crowd was in an uproar.

The wizard was even more excited.

The gods have appeared!
Shenhou personally led the family head to the underworld to enjoy the blessings. It seems that their hard work for so many years has been seen by Shenhou.

Everyone knelt down one after another, including Zhang Cong.

Seeing the head of the family being led to the underworld, the panic about the future in everyone's hearts disappeared a lot.

Maybe, they don't have the merits of the Patriarch, but maybe they can go to the underworld to live forever, isn't it?
"Gather everyone in the name of Patriarch to see him off, prepare all the soldiers, and fight out tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

At the same time, a group of people went to Wu Lan's house.

Although the Zuo family is their main family in name, it has long existed in name only, and they have shrunk to Zuocheng, and even handed over the two cities of Fengyuan and Longpo.

Without any troops, they are no different from useless people.

Generally speaking, only the Wu family can speak.

Soon, the convoy came to this mansion.

This is where the commander-in-chief Wu Lan is.

There are two breathing stone lions at the door.

Different from the statues of later generations, the stone lions guarding the gate and the owls in the town house in this period are all real monsters.

thump!
The envoy of the Zhang family knelt at the door.

"People from the Zhang family are here to make amends."

After a long time, Wu Lan walked out slowly, Zhang's envoy was amazed at his youth.

"Tell me, what is your crime?"

"The reception is not good, and the Lord is disrespectful, so I came here to plead guilty. The wizard specially asked that this time the groundbreaking will be done, and the Zhang family will go bankrupt."

At the same time, the envoy of the Zhang family pushed out a box containing gold, silver and jewelry.

"Very well, let's go back."

With a smile on her face, Wu Lan watched everyone leave.

Then he said a few words to his entourage: "Continue to monitor."

Five hundred armored soldiers stared around the Zhang family, and 1000 people went to Xiong's land.

These people are the best soldiers among the best soldiers, and soon the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land of the two families will belong to them.

……

hell.

Under the banyan tree, suddenly there was a strong wind.

The golden light flew quickly from the sky and fell under the banyan tree.

The golden light dissipated, and a man in blue clothes, mottled hair, three strands of long beard, and an old face appeared here.

Zhang Qi looked around suspiciously.

Gray sky, yin god and blood moon.

There is also the ubiquitous green mist and dark wind, all of which prove that this place is not the world of the sun.

"This is?...the underworld?"

Zhang Qi was a little uncertain.

Whoa!
At this time, the wind was raging and the leaves were falling.

The shade above the head parted, and a figure hung down.

The dark wind blew the robe, black and white wavy patterns covered the whole face, and the surrounding earth air formed a ferocious earth python, lying on the shoulder of this god.

Saw this scene many years ago.

Suddenly, Zhang Qi seemed to have traveled back many years.

At that time, he was still a young horse breeder, seriously injured and dying.

At that time, the god suddenly appeared and changed the fate of his life.

And now...

"Now that I'm drooping and getting old, the great god Shenhou still has the same demeanor."

Zhang Qi looked reminiscent and bowed lightly.

The person in front of him is the god Maohou.

"Sit down." Tang Ping stretched out his finger, and the grass and trees on the ground formed tables and chairs, "You should be very curious about this place, this place is the underworld..."

Tang Ping told Maohou's status and relationship with the underground master.

Maohou is himself, and he can be someone else in the future.

The underground master can only be himself.

He didn't want Maohou and the underground master to contact others.

As for his status and the situation in the underworld, he also told Zhang Qi in detail, and did not shy away from anything.

While speaking, Tang Ping summoned Gao Dice to come out.

The form of Gao Di Ce is like a rectangular slate scroll, with your own message in the middle. The back was originally empty, but now there is a line of small characters.

"Ghost: Zhang Qi, Realm: Early Shahun. Lifespan: 89."

It may be the reason for the direct conversion, Zhang Qi only has the lifespan of Shahun, and Yinshou starts from scratch.

As long as he had a thought, the words on it would be erased immediately, and Zhang Qi would be out of his wits immediately. Moreover, the subordinates of the mountain cutting ceremony were absolutely loyal to him.

Eight years have passed since the last meeting with the Greenwood Ridge Mandrill.

Xiong's and Zhang's made two sacrifices a year, and with the efforts of a total of four sacrifices, the shady soil increased by 32 feet in eight years, and it should have been 56 feet before adding it.

The shade width of the banyan tree has increased by more than 100 feet, and other parameters have also increased a lot.

The water area expanded to around forty feet.

"Therefore, as the gods of heaven and earth, we should focus on developing ourselves at this stage, and we have plenty of time."

After Zhang Qi listened quietly, he probably understood the structure of this world.

Thinking of Yang Jian, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and said, "I don't know if they can escape this catastrophe."

"You are all ancestors now, there is less need to mix in the affairs of the world, and the descendants will have their own creation, so there is no need to worry."

Tang Ping said.

I have helped them enough.

To intervene in everything, this is to find a group of fathers for myself, then it is not a god, but a nanny.

The gods are the spirits who live forever and see the ebb and flow of the tide, and become gods.

"That's right, I'm a ghost, why worry about it, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't be too radical."

"You are indeed a little radical."

"Actually, the reason why I don't want to become a barbarian is because I don't want you, Shenhou, to become a barbarian. It will be very laborious to spread it in the future."

"Do you think this Marquis seems to care about these things? If you can't convey it with words, then use knives and guns!"

"I see."

Zhang Qi looked a little lonely.

This is the final conclusion.

Poor, pity, hateful.

When I was young, I thought it was a long time, but when I look back, it has become a dead bone in a tomb.

At this time, Tang Ping suddenly stood up.

"You are wrong again."

"Mo Dao Sang Yuwan, the sky is full of clouds."

"The sun is setting, the long night has just begun, and everything is still inconclusive."

Zhang Qi suddenly raised his head, stood up suddenly, and bowed deeply.

"Thank you Shenhou for your explanation, I understand."

From now on, follow in the footsteps of God.

As the years pass, the tides ebb and flow.

The so-called foreign enemies will die in their own hands one day.

"Come on, find a notebook and write down the enemies one by one, so that you will have the strength to work hard."
