The Ferry of the Heavens: Hong Kong Comprehensive Start

More than a year has passed.

It is now 1910.

That is, the second year of Xuantong.

Ling Yaodong completed a few more system tasks and gained a lot of merit. Through [Hundred-fold Boost], the total amount of merit Ling Yaodong obtained successfully allowed him to be promoted to the eighth-rank land master. In addition to the upper limit of divine power output being changed to 5000 points, The biggest gain is when he advanced, when he was roaming in the sea of ​​authority, his [Spiritual Detention Art] was enlightened, and advanced to the supernatural power [Spiritual Deception].

Soul seduction, able to seduce souls and souls, is not only far more powerful than [Spiritual Detention Technique], but also has an effect not only on ghosts, but also on living creatures.

This is the authority of the underworld.

The Lord of the Earth is originally a land that has his feet on the two worlds of yin and yang, with the land on one side and the nether world on the other.

So far, all of Ling Yaodong's magical arts have advanced to supernatural powers.

The exorcism technique, advanced to the supernatural power [dispelling diseases and calamities], not only can dispel diseases, but also dispel curses.

Entrusting dreams, advanced to the supernatural power [Dream Like Magic], this is not only a magical power of dreams, but also a magical power of illusion.

Ling Yaodong, who possesses many supernatural powers, is unprecedentedly powerful.

At this time, Ling Yaodong's attributes are as follows:
God Lord: Ling Yaodong
God's name: Land God of Xiangshan County

Divine grade: Zhengba grade
Divine power: 991000/5000
Handle: Earth/Ghost

…………………………………………………………………………

The land owner of Xiangshan County.

It is the God of the Eighth Grade Earth God.

After Ling Yaodong's god position was promoted to the eighth-rank land lord, his god domain included all areas except the county seat of Xiangshan County.

In the past year, because of the establishment of the [Temple Wishing System] and the [Spiritual Official System], Ling Yaodong, the Land Lord's [Efficacy], can be observed with the naked eye.

After all, Miao Zhu used [Divine Strike Technique] to deal with ghosts, Lingguan used [Divine Art] to cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits, and increase the yield of fertile fields.

These are things that others can see with their own eyes.

Instead of relying on word of mouth before, saying that the land lord in Dongsheng Town is very effective, he has manifested, and he has defended the ghosts. Believe in the land lord in Dongsheng Town, and the grain output in the next year will be more than that of other families.

Although it is said that three people become tigers.

Many people say that, with the mentality of "I would rather believe in what I have than believe in what I don't have", most people will follow and believe in Ling Yaodong.

But this kind of belief brings shallow believers and ordinary believers, and the contribution of incense and vows to Ling Yaodong is not much.

It is also impossible for Ling Yaodong to appear at every turn. Appearance can bring devout believers immediately—in this era when the divine way is not manifested.

But this is too cheap for the gods. The other is that as his god status rises, he faces more and more people, and the cost of his appearance is getting higher and higher, which is a little bit worth the candle.

But after Ling Yaodong launched the [Temple Blessing System] and [Lingguan System], things were different.

First of all, Ling Yaodong did not manifest directly, so the price he paid was not that great.

Secondly, across the temple and the Lingguan, the deity Ling Yaodong kept a sense of distance from the believers, and the devotion of the believers was even higher.

Furthermore, the benefits brought by temple blessings and spiritual officials are all visible to the naked eye. How can believers not believe in such a [useful] god?

So.

In just one year.

Ling Yaodong's temples are spread all over Xiangshan County.

Even the city where the county seat is located has Ling Yaodong's temple.

It's just that Ling Yaodong's god rank restriction prevented him from including the county seat of Xiangshan County into his god domain.

If Ling Yaodong really wants to walk freely in Xiangshan County without hindrance, he needs Ling Yaodong to reach the seventh-rank god position.

However, Ling Yaodong is so powerful that he has already [lighted up] all the temples in other lands except Xiangshan County.

Although this behavior will be like the spirit space, it consumes Ling Yaodong's divine power all the time.

But Ling Yaodong can afford it.

This is because of this, Ling Yaodong can use these [God Statue Coordinates], use the [Spiritual Realm Space] as a transit, and appear in various places during his thoughts.

In modern and fashionable terms, these "lit up" statues are equivalent to teleportation points.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ...

On a gloomy night, suddenly a group of [people] dressed in official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty appeared in a row, bouncing around.

The leader was a young man in a yellow robe and a mushroom head.

He held a brown-red shrine in his hand, but instead of placing a statue of a god in the shrine, he lit an oil lamp, and there seemed to be a yellow talisman inside the oil lamp.

I saw this man chanting, "Yin people go on the road, Yang people give way", while jumping forward.

No matter how he jumps, the [people] behind him will follow suit, without making a sound the whole time.

It was so weird at night.

Yes.

These [people] are not [living people], but [dead people]. They are [dead people] who died in a foreign land, and they are [dead people] driven by [dead corpse technique].

And this young man in the yellow Taoist robe is using the [Death Corpse Technique] to [drive away] these corpses.

The yellow talisman in the shrine in his hand is the most important tool for exorcising corpses - [Soul Attracting Talisman]!
The young man in the yellow Taoist robe used this [Soul Attracting Talisman] to make these corpses make the same movements as him, in order to [drive away corpses]!
The reason for jumping instead of walking is because the dead man's joints are stiff and he can only jump and walk like a normal person.

If you insist on letting these corpses walk like normal people, you will only drive these corpses away.

Chasing corpses is also called [moving spirits] and [walking corpses].

People who are engaged in exorcising corpses are often called "exorcists".

The requirements for [Corpse Carpenter] are quite high, at least you must know a little magic, and you must have good physical strength and courage.

Because exorcising corpses is both frightening and labor-intensive, because they usually start exorcising corpses at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night, and they have to rest after [-] o'clock in the morning, because the sky is about to dawn.Because they all work at midnight, and most of the roads taken by the corpses are remote mountain roads, desolate places, the roads are not easy to walk, and the corpses have to be carried and carried to the places where the corpses cannot pass. If the physical strength is not good, the job cannot be done. of.

The Chinese pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots. If they die in other places, they want to go back to their hometown for burial, otherwise they will die without rest.

But in this era, limited by productivity and transportation capacity, the cost of transporting dead bodies back to their hometowns is too high.

In the end, the lower-cost method of transporting corpses, [Desperate Corpse], stood out and was favored by many people.

Of course, some people use [Corpse] to do some illegal activities, that's another matter.

Chasing corpses is not chasing all corpses.

There is a saying in chasing corpses "Three to chase and three not to chase".
Among them, "three catches" refer to these three aspects:

One means that those who were persecuted to death can be expelled. The main reason is that most of them died with grievances. These people especially miss their hometown and relatives, so they can be expelled.

The second means that those who died in the war can be chased away, and those who died in a foreign land must find a way to bring them back to their hometown.

The third is that those who died accidentally while making a living outside can be expelled. These people leave their homes and it is not easy to make a living outside.

The "three don't catch up" refers to these three aspects:
One is that people who died of unknown diseases cannot be driven away, that is, people who died of plague. If these people are driven back, they may bring disaster to the entire village.

The second is that people who commit suicide by hanging themselves or throwing themselves into rivers cannot be chased away. It is said that these people are very dark and difficult to subdue.

The third is that those who were struck to death by lightning or burned to death cannot be chased away.According to the folk saying, if one is struck by lightning, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and there is no need to return home after death.Those who were burned to death in the fire, their limbs were incomplete, couldn't stand the toss all the way, and couldn't catch up.

"Three chases and three no chases" is just the basic principle of morticians. There are also morticians who do not follow the principle of "three chases and three no chases". "In principle, go to the corpse.

As for what happens in the process?
Probably nothing will happen.

Terrible things can happen.

Then we can only live in peace with each other!
Repelling corpses requires [Repelling Corpse Art].

And to cooperate with [Desperate Corpse Art], you need some magic tools, generally there are soul-calling banners and soul-absorbing bells, Xiaoyin Gong, Chenzhou Talisman, corpse-repelling whip, and knife.

But the most important thing is actually the Magical Artifact [Calling the Soul Banner], which is used to guide the walking corpses on their way.

Others can be absent, but [Spiritual Banner] or a similar magic weapon must be available.

Unless it is the kind of exorcist who has practiced the [Death Exorcism Art] to the pinnacle, and can drive the walking corpse to move forward automatically.

The [Soul Attracting Talisman] in the shrine in the man's hand in the yellow Taoist robe has the same effect as the [Spirit Calling Banner].

Chasing corpses is hard work, bouncing all the way forward, it's okay for a short time, but for a long time, ordinary people really can't bear it.

The young man in the yellow Taoist robe didn't seem to be very experienced, and he probably hadn't overtaken corpses a few times.

It was already sweating.

He was so tired that he stopped to rest.

Just rested for a while.

I heard a man's voice with a bit acid tone from the group of walking corpses behind, "Why don't you leave?"

It sounded like a dead man urging his way.

Most people will be scared to death when they hear it.

But the young man in the yellow Taoist robe was not afraid at all. He turned his head and said to a middle-aged man in a brown wide Taoist robe lying on top of the two walking corpses at the end, "Master, I am too tired."

"It's still tiring to go this far, you, you usually suffer less." The middle-aged man said while lying down and talking without back pain.

He sat up and saw that the young Taoist-robed man was really exhausted, so he curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's take a quarter of an hour's rest first!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged Taoist robed man flipped in the air and got off the walking corpse.

When the young Taoist robed man heard the words, his face showed joy, and he also hung the shrine with the soul-inducing talisman on the neck of the walking corpse behind him.

Then he ran to the middle of the walking corpses, took down the luggage rack, took out water from it, and sent it to the middle-aged Taoist robe respectfully, "Master, drink water."

"Well, you are a bit filial." The middle-aged Taoist robed man took the bamboo tube containing water unceremoniously, and took a big gulp.

The young Taoist robed man took out his own bamboo tube from the bag rack and took a sip of it.

At this time, the middle-aged man in Taoist robes yelled again, "Jia Le, what do you have to eat, take it out, I'm hungry."

That's right.

This pair of master and apprentice is Chen You, a Taoist with four eyes, and Jia Le, his apprentice he adopted since childhood.

After Simu Taoist left Maoshan, he settled in the mountains of Shaoguan, traveled between Guangdong and Hunan, and made a living by driving corpses for people.

This time, it was the first time that he brought his apprentice Jia Le out to [Hurry up corpses]. In their words, it was called [Delivery].

Jia Le answered his master's question and said, "Master, there are only a few cold steamed buns left."

"Cold steamed buns?" Chen You, the Taoist with four eyes, had a look of disgust on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he was almost at the destination, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it."

"Oh!" Jia Le didn't dislike it, and took out the cold steamed buns from the luggage rack, took a sip of cold water, and ate the cold steamed buns like this.

The four-eyed Taoist Chen You watched him eat with gusto, couldn't help swallowing, feeling a little regretful.

As for Jia Le, while eating, he asked, "Master, why are you thinking of bringing me out this time? Didn't you say that I am not capable enough?"

Chen You, the four-eyed Taoist, said angrily, "What's the matter? Do you want to continue to be lazy at home?"

"That's not what I meant." Jia Le waved his hands repeatedly and said.

"Huh!" Chen You, the four-eyed Taoist, snorted coldly, squinted at his apprentice Jia Le, and then explained, "There is a very powerful land here in Xiangshan County, Guangdong. The square market of the Landlord’s Temple Market], every 15th day of the lunar new year, when the market is held, many practitioners will appear to exchange practice experience and exchange information. don't know!"

"Furthermore, your Uncle Lin is also in Xiangshan County, but in Jiuquan Town. This time, I will take you to visit him as well." Taoist Chen You with Four Eyes paused, and then said.

"Uncle Lin? Master, you mean Uncle Zhengying?" Jia Le raised his brows and asked.

"Hmm!" Chen You, a Taoist with four eyes, responded in a thick nasal voice.

"I heard that Uncle Zhengying is highly skilled, right, master?" Jia Le said enthusiastically.

"Hmm." Chen You, a Taoist with four eyes, responded with another "hmm", which seemed very perfunctory.

But Jia Le was not affected at all, but continued to ask, "Master, I heard that Master Zhengying is better than you, right?"

"Well... what did you say? Who did you listen to?" Chen You, the four-eyed Taoist, responded casually, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and glared at his apprentice, Jia Le.

Jia Le stuck out her tongue and laughed, "I'm just talking casually!"

"That old bastard Yixiu must have said it." Chen You, a Taoist with four eyes, frowned, and then said, "You and I, Uncle Lin, have our own strengths, do you know, Jiale?"

Chen You, the Taoist with four eyes, spoke very harshly.

Jia Le showed an apologetic smile and said, "Yes, yes, master."

"Hmph!" Chen You, the four-eyed Taoist, suddenly didn't want to see his stupid apprentice. (end of this chapter)
