The gods who travel between the two worlds

Chapter 48 The Book of Life and Death

"The Yin Division can be an official... It's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year!"

In the office building of Gaocheng City, it was already very late at this time, but many local senior officials gathered together. Xiang Songzhi, a local senior official, looked at the report compiled on the desk and a brand new book of praises to the city god, Like everyone present, he was lost in thought.

"This is to shake the foundation of a country!"

Someone spoke slowly, sighing, and as the voice fell, it finally broke the silent atmosphere in the office. There was a kind of indescribable psychology. If I had to make an analogy, it seemed that there were suddenly more words on the top of my head. Like an invisible official.

Moreover, judging from the information obtained from the City God's Temple, the ghosts and gods of the underworld have great power!
"This is not a question of wavering, but, thinking deeply, will this kind of thing have an impact on the current environment..."

An old man with white hair and a black official uniform looked at his colleagues present, picked up the report on the table, opened a few pages, and asked everyone with a bit of the scene in his words: " According to the report, to review the innocence of ten generations, how is the definition of innocence?
Can we take the initiative to intervene? After all, everyone knows that the Yin Division has continued the ancient and backward laws and regulations to a certain extent, which is not suitable for today's reality..."

"...Old Chen's words are good. On this point, I think I should talk to Han Zilue and Han Miaozhu first, and ask him to relay it for you. This is the collective opinion of our Gaocheng officials. If possible, can you share this The Yinsi examination office is included in our system review!" Beside him, a middle-aged man with straight legs and a serious face raised his hand, expressing his opinion.

"Old Chen and Director Xu's ideas are worth considering, but don't be too direct about this kind of thing..."

An old man surnamed Su next to the official surnamed Chen, glanced at the two of them lightly, and put forward his objection lightly. When speaking, he looked at the highest local official Xiang Songzhi at the desk, his tone a little uncertain Dao: "About... Regarding the apology proposed by the state, what do you think of the mayor?"

"Apologize... Let's implement it as soon as possible. Whoever is directly responsible for this matter will do it. I have also talked with several important officials in the secretary's office in the state. At present, everything is stable. Everything we know is not very clear, how about it, the day after tomorrow, invite those candidates who are preparing for the exam, how about us..."

As the top leader, Xiang Songzhi set the tone. When he said this, he paused, as if he was trying to organize his words, and then he continued: "Let's invite some professors of history and literature from Gaocheng University to form a group. A public examination training class, to suddenly improve their level of knowledge, and try to bring these candidates into the official system..."

As expected of a high-ranking official in a city, by looking up the requirements for preparing for the exam, he could see at a glance the lack of cultural background of many candidates, and in a few words, he grasped the key to the problem.

"I remember that in history, there were many officials who were officials in the human world, and they were also officials in the Yin Division. In this regard, there are actually many things that can be considered..."

Naturally, Xiang Songzhi was justified in saying this. He sent people to read many local myths and stories and some historical materials and anthologies overnight, so he naturally gained some confidence in his heart.

In any case, when he reached his position, he actually noticed that Xia Guo was already cultivating an extraordinary power that he could use for himself.

But it is a pity that in the changes of this era, before everything was prepared, Gaocheng was the first to become the running-in point of conflict.

Regarding the arrival of all this, Xiang Songzhi himself can't say whether he is guilty or afraid, but as a bureaucrat's instinct, Xiang Songzhi has shown enough patience for this kind of affairs beyond his control.

And the few people present are also human beings, and a lot has been seen from the official document sent by the state. Although it is an apology and compensation, it is difficult for the bureaucrat's instinct to directly pull this face off. That is to say, this problem has been directly resolved by the higher-ups, otherwise, the current effect will definitely not be achieved.

After all, in fact, not many people were directly harmed, and it was dealt with as an ordinary cult transmission case at the beginning. It was not the first day for the people present to work, so they naturally studied the relevant issues thoroughly.

This is also one of the reasons why everyone is here. Next, how much is it appropriate to retreat?What should I do if similar problems arise in the future?Assuming that when there is an unreasonable decision in the local area, some people directly sue the Yin Division, so what should be done in the world?
Where is the legal boundary between yin and yang?
The above considerations sound vague, but it may happen in the future, especially in today's complicated situation, it is still unknown where the extraordinary recovery will go.

Some people even ordered to check the historical files, hoping to get some clues from the experience of the predecessors, but unfortunately, the effect was mediocre.

I didn't find any gains from the experience of the predecessors, which caused the researcher to have an illusion for a while, thinking that the so-called myth does not exist. After all, according to the Wuhua Immortal in the Wuhua Temple , since the previous Dynasty's sincere Bo cut the dragon's veins, there are ghosts and gods in this world.

Although it can be connected with the beginning of the previous dynasty, when officials sacrificed to the city god, and used the deterrence of the gods to cut off the officials from doing illegal things, there are basically not many other things to refer to.

As for the related ones, they are some novels, and they don’t have too many references, especially judging from the power shown by some mythical characters, it’s hard to feel that they are expressed in the words of the world. The level is so low.

Silent all night.

In the end, the result came out, and relevant compensation was made to the innocent people affected this time. At the same time, some relevant people in the religious circle were invited to explain the relevant matters to everyone.

It has to be said that this move has achieved remarkable results. In the newly established training base, there were more than 1000 candidates gathered in a short time.

"I remember Han Miaozhu said that there are not many positions in the Yin Division, right?" An official representative sat in the auditorium and watched as an invited expert and scholar gave a speech above.

"Indeed, there are not many. If we look at the officials and subordinates we know, it would be great if we can hire more than a hundred of these more than 1000 people." Looking at the official representative, he still spoke his mind.

"I heard that the Yin Division Examination was set by Emperor Fengdu, and the number of people admitted may be more than that..."

Han Zilue's statement was more euphemistic. In fact, when he had a meeting in the state, he had exchanged experience with some temple priests, and they all agreed that things would not be so simple.

As City God's Temple wishers, they are actually born to serve the Yin Division. After death, they directly belong to the City God's subordinates as ghost officials. They are the most calm about this kind of atmosphere of the Yin Division. Things are well known.

If it weren't for the fact that the Chenghuang Temple Zhu was directly appointed by the Chenghuang, I'm afraid such a fat job would be a real steal. After all, the establishment of the Yin Division is also very important, and it is impossible to spread it indiscriminately.

"That's it..." The representative showed some interest when he heard this, and asked Han Zilue: "As far as you know, is the recruitment in this underworld normal, or is it just like this for a while..."

"This kind of recruitment is temporary. As an official in the underworld, basically there is no such thing as retirement. Except for the slow and slow promotion, you basically just keep working. In theory, you will quit only if you don't want to work. Therefore, the official Looking around, you rarely see some gods being promoted, but their extra titles are actually from the human world, or the titles given by the common people..."

In this regard, many folk gods will have some conflicting titles, such as Great Emperor, Emperor, and Tianzun appearing on the body of one god. In fact, they are all the result of folk sects or private actions, and are not officially recognized. .

In ancient times, the cost of spreading rumors and enshrining the truth of the gods was very low. Unless it was really a particularly serious adultery or against the government, generally no one would take the risk of offending the gods to expose it, so there are many inexplicable gods left alone.

In fact, in ancient times, there was a set of procedures for the canonization of gods. Taking the Song Dynasty as an example, those who had no titles were given temple foreheads, those who had already given temple titles were given titles, first titled marquises, then dukes, and second titles, those who had titles first , from its foundation, the god of women, the concubine, then the concubine, the title of the immortal, the first real person, the second real king, so, Xi ordered the gods, and the grace and rituals were orderly.

Su Wen also noticed this point. Naturally, the entry of ghosts and gods is also very strict. Although there are so many candidates now, except for a few, most of them are the most basic ghost officials or lower ghosts. If you want to turn positive, you have to test it layer by layer.

For ghosts and gods, time is not important. In the so-called human world, the so-called appearance and academics that are measured are actually not very important.

In fact, to put it more simply, those natural killers are actually more likely to be recruited by the gods. Like the gods of other worlds, they value some tyrannical existences in life. , One's own great power is everything, but it is impossible for the gods to do everything in the matter of conquering cities and territories.

The role of subordinates was manifested at this time.

Some people may think that some killings will conflict with the principle of judging the innocence of ten generations, but in fact, it is not necessarily true. Like in ancient times, as long as a particularly powerful person is not slaughtering unscrupulously, in fact, his achievements and reputation With the blessing, on the contrary, it is a special talent in the Yin Division.

As Han Zilue asked the questions one by one, the representative's expression became serious in an instant. This question is practical, and they have considered it, but they are always ignored intentionally or unintentionally, until they are pointed out by Han Zilue. There is a sense of urgency in my heart.

At the moment, regardless of many things, he got up and went out directly, and reported to his superiors. For the city, even the state or the capital, the attraction of the priesthood of the underworld is beyond doubt.

This is also the reason why the officials value this group of candidates so much. In fact, after learning about the method of the underworld company examination, countless officials have tried it in private. However, judging from the current situation, the first round of recruitment has ended up.

As for why it is so respected, let me ask, is it more important to be an official with a limited number of decades, or an official with infinite netherworld?

Let you live freely in the world, and you have to be under the control of the underworld.

This caused many officials to restrain themselves a lot. It has to be said that the deterrent power of ghosts and gods in the underworld is still there.

……

"Unfortunately, there are still too many restrictions in the net of fate..." Su Wen used the power of fate in the underworld to bind all the causes and effects in the world into the nether world, turning them into a thick book.

"In this way, the fate of all the lives is in the hands of fellow Taoists." The incarnation of Fengdu Emperor said lightly. After merging the power of death, his power has improved, and it is hardly inferior to that God. After all, the fear of death Love is inevitable in any life.

"This book can be used as a book of life and death projected in the underworld..." Su Wen thought for a while, then looked at Emperor Fengdu and said.

"Fellow Daoist bothered!"

Emperor Fengdu was taken aback for a moment, and then he showed a bit of joy. In fact, although the underworld was opened up, the ghosts and gods of the underworld have been in a state of ineffectiveness in collecting the household registration and fate of the human world.

For example, under the command of the City God, many of the responsibilities of the government office, such as the Department of Merit Examination, Department of Records of Merit, Department of Human Ding, etc., are involved in household registration information. Whether it is reporting from the world to the underworld, or recording meritorious deeds locally, they all play a pivotal role.

And now the deity is willing to turn part of the net of fate into the book of life and death and deliver it to the underworld, which is tantamount to helping a lot. In this way, the operation of the city gods in various places can be put into use immediately after the personnel are replenished.

"However... this matter of fellow Taoist is probably not a good thing for those practitioners." Emperor Fengdu knew very well that with the general trend of the earth and stars going beyond the ordinary, there will be more and more extraordinary people in the future, but when they become immortals, there will be more and more extraordinary people. Once they understand this key point of the Tao, they will find that their fate is not in their hands.

You need to go to the underworld to get it back before you can practice normally, otherwise, if this trace is not perfect, it means that your destiny is controlled by the underworld, and no one will be satisfied with it.

"Of course I have thought about this matter clearly. When I have reached this point in my practice in the future, if I have the ability, let them go to the underworld to get back this wisp of fate..." Su Wen laughed. You must know that the achievement of this step is the same as the extraordinary. The god of death in the world can't even do it.

No way, in their world, most of the innate gods came out early, who would give their fate to others, that is, Earth Star, except for Su Wen himself, the only existence close to the gods at the moment.

Then he used the power of fate to restrain the number of lives. During this process, almost no one even noticed the slightest mistake.

Even the few who rose up naturally under the extraordinary general trend suddenly didn't know.

One step at a time, one step at a time, the truth is true!
