I'm in heaven, I just want to work overtime.

Chapter 146 The God of the Underworld

"I am the Xuanzhen Ten Thousand Blessings Divine Lord conferred by Emperor Qinghua of the East. I am responsible for guarding the City of Fusi. I wonder if the King of the Six Palaces, Yama Bian City, is in the city?" Jiang Bai asked.

When the two ghost generals heard that they were coming from heaven, they immediately became more respectful, so they quickly said: "King Bian Cheng happened to be in the city today to extradite some souls to be reincarnated!"

Then he took Jiang Bai and Jiuling Yuan Sheng to the Mingchen Palace in Fusui City.

I saw a ghost king sitting in the center of the palace, with raised eyebrows and an open mouth, a helmet on his head, wearing armor, belted at the waist, and wearing leather boots.

It is King Bian Cheng of the sixth palace of Hades, who is in charge of calling the Great Hell and the City of Unworthy Death.

"Xuanzhen Wanfu, the God of Destiny, Jiang Bai, has met Hades!"

Jiang Bai stepped forward and saluted.

"It turns out that he is a priest under the Emperor Qinghua of the East. I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"

King Bian Cheng quickly stepped down to greet him, looking very enthusiastic.

He had known for a long time that Emperor Qinghua of the East was given the responsibility of rescuing souls from the underworld by the Jade Emperor, and would have to intervene in the affairs of the underworld sooner or later.

Although this city of futile death is an important place in the underworld, it does not involve the six paths of reincarnation and the eighteen levels of hell.

It belongs to the kind of priesthood where things are complicated but not that important.

Now that the Emperor Qinghua of Dongji is willing to intervene in the City of Wasted Death, he is also happy to delegate power and leave the affairs of the City of Wasted Death to Jiang Bai for the time being.

"Tomorrow the morning palace will be left to my little friend for the time being. This Bian Cheng Order can mobilize millions of ghost soldiers in the city to death!"

King Bian Cheng handed over a black token, one foot long, with many evil ghosts carved on it, which gave a chill that penetrated into the soul.

The millions of ghost soldiers in Fusi City are all his forbidden troops, which is why he dares to delegate power.

What's more, he is the true spirit of the great witch Boyi, with the support of Empress Pingxin behind him, and he is not afraid of any force.

"Thank you Hades!"

Jiang Bai bent over to express his thanks.

"In this case, I will return to the Yama Palace first. Now the sea of ​​blood is about to move, and the remaining souls of the demon gods behind the Yin Mountain are not at peace either!"

After King Bian Cheng explained some matters, he hurriedly returned to Yama Hall.

Afterwards, the nine ghost kings and the ten ghost officials came forward to pay homage to Xuan Zhen, the God of Wanfu, who saved his life.

These ghost kings and ghost officials are basically gods of rank six or below.

And Jiang Bai is the fifth-level divine king in heaven, only under the tenth-level king of hell, and their status is very different.

"This is my first time here, so I hope you all can cooperate with me!" Jiang Bai said with cupped hands.

"I will obey the Lord God's instructions!"

All the ghost kings and ghost kings bent down and kowtowed.

"In that case, you guys go ahead and all the rules and regulations will be as before!"

"Yes!"

The nine ghost kings and the ten ghost officials all left.

Jiang Bai and the nine-headed green lion were the only ones left in the huge Mingchen Palace.

Jiuling Yuan Sheng yawned and began to fall asleep out of boredom.

It was originally the demon god in the plague deep in the netherworld. Later, Li Qi opened the seal. Not long after it was born, it was besieged by Nezha and Fahai, the king of Wuquxing.

In the end, he was surrendered by Master Taiyi and transformed from a demon into an immortal, which can be regarded as a positive result.

Therefore, it does not care about the environment of the underworld, but has a sense of intimacy.

Jiang Bai sat on the throne of King Bian Cheng, falling into a meditative state, looking like he was practicing.

A data panel appeared in front of him.

[Name: Xia Yi (Jiang Bai)]

[Cultivation: Golden Immortal (late stage)]

[Position: Xuanzhen Wanfu Destiny God Lord]

[Job Responsibilities: Assist Taiyi to rescue Ku Tianzun, guard the City of Wrong Death, and rescue wronged souls]

[Benefits: five insurances and one housing fund, weekends off, three times the salary for overtime, sixteen salary, etc.]

[Salary: Settled at the beginning of next month]

[It is detected that the host has assumed this position for the first time. Do you want to receive job training? 】

"accept!"

[Q: Why should we transform the souls of wronged persons?

A: Everyone in the world is suffering, suffering from plagues, wars, monsters, floods, droughts, locusts, earthquakes, hunger, heat... I don’t know how many mortals die in vain every day. In the city, the souls of injustice are pouring out, and the resentment goes straight to the underworld, so we must Reduce the wronged souls.

Q: How to effectively exonerate the wronged soul?

A: The system will give you the spiritual banners of saving your life, the spiritual banner of saving your life, the spiritual banner of your extension, the spiritual banner of renewing your life, the spiritual banner of saving your disaster, and the spiritual banner of saving your life]

Not long after, a series of spiritual flags appeared in front of Jiang Bai, about three feet in size, exuding dense green energy.

The ears of the nine-headed lion twitched slightly, but they were still sleeping soundly.

"Although these spiritual flags are not innate things, the magical functions they possess are just right for me!"

Jiang Bai nodded with satisfaction.

It then took another three months to refine these spiritual flags one by one.

Only then did they leave Mingchen Palace.

Rather than saying that Wusi City is an ancient city, it is better to say that it is a world.

To be more precise, the world of vain death is more appropriate.

After all, there are four continents in the Earthly Immortal Realm, countless countries and tribes, and more than billions of mortals.

However, there are demons and monsters causing chaos in the world, as well as military disasters, natural disasters, plagues, etc.

Countless mortals die every day.

Part of it is that he is destined to have this calamity and is destined not to die.

These ghosts may be led to Mount Tai, one of the Five Mountains, to be judged by Emperor Tianqi Rensheng of Mount Tai of Dongyue.

Or be led to the Tenth Hall of Yama.

The merits and demerits of a lifetime will be reported to this palace through the local city gods, land and inspection departments, and will be judged and pronounced by Yama personally. Those who have equivalent merits and demerits will be exempted from punishment and transferred directly to the wheel-turning king in the tenth palace, or they will be reincarnated according to the good and evil they have done during their lifetime. , whether male or female, poor or rich, etc., bear the consequences.

Those who have committed serious sins will be sent to various hells to endure the torture they deserve to eliminate their karma.

As for the remaining people who died in vain, they were taken to the city of vain death.

Those who are not deeply resentful can be reincarnated in advance even if their life span is not over.

Those with strong resentments will continue to stay in the City of Futile Death.

However, they are not prisoners of crime. They can go to the city to watch and see whether the people who murdered him are getting the retribution they deserve.

However, their personal freedom will be strictly controlled and they will not be able to return to the upper world to receive support from their relatives in the upper world during the Ghost Festival like other dead souls.

After all, wronged souls with too much resentment can easily turn into evil ghosts, or even ghost kings, and cause harm to the world.

Until these dead souls see with their own eyes that the people who murdered them get the retribution they deserve, and their grievances are resolved, they can be handed over to the King of Hell of the Ten Palaces for trial, and then be reincarnated according to their good and evil deeds during their lifetime, whether rewarded or punished.

What Jiang Bai saw in front of his eyes were neat streets with row upon row of houses in an orderly manner, as if there was no end in sight.

Just like the crisscrossed chessboard.

On the streets, countless dead souls come and go, bustling with people, just like the secular world.

It's just that the sky is always covered with gloomy yellow clouds, making this world look very depressing.

"Lord God, this is the Street of the Past. Generally, only dead souls who have no deep grievances or behave well can live here!"

A ghost official introduced next to him. Walking on the streets, there are many ghosts of vendors selling things.

Not far away, a dead soul was cooking a pot of thick soup. It was bubbling and gurgling. It was dark green in color and exuded a disgusting smell.

There were quite a few dead souls lined up in front of the stall.

"This is the soul-condensing soup. It is brewed from the ghost grass and soul-taking flowers behind the Yin Mountain. It can nourish the soul and condense the body!" the ghost official said in time.

"What was exchanged?" Jiang Bai asked.

The dead soul in front took out a crystal clear round bead, the size of a longan.

Then the stall owner who cooked the thick soup scooped up a full bowl.

"This is a soul bead. Generally, after a ghost dies, its soul turns into fragments. When some soul fragments are fused with the underworld's yin energy, they will be condensed into soul beads!" said the ghost official.

Jiang Bai asked: "Isn't there any incense paper money?"

"What is this incense paper money?"

The ghost official was a little puzzled. This was the first time he heard this thing in the thousand years he spent in the City of Wasted Death.

Jiang Bai suddenly realized that paper money had not yet appeared in the Three Realms at this time.

Paper has appeared since ancient times.

Thousands of years ago, Jiang Bai, as the World Honored One of Changle Miaoyan, went down to the lower realms to rescue people in distress and accumulate merit.

He once spread the art of papermaking.

It also caused a shock to humanity and brought down merit.

The Supreme Saint even personally issued a decree to commend him and gave him the Sixth Transformation Golden Pill and other elixirs.

This is also the reason why Zhou Qing despises the Sixth Turn Golden Pill presented by Taoist Qingyang.

While Jiang Bai was thinking, a ghost more than ten feet in front of him became violent. His whole body was full of resentment and evil energy surged, and he swallowed up several ghosts around him in one bite.

Then, several ghost soldiers flew over, threw a black iron chain, and tied up the mad dead soul.

"This is a common thing. There is a simmering resentment in the throats of these wronged souls. If they are not resolved, they will easily go crazy and lose their minds!" the ghost officer introduced.

With a thought in Jiang Bai's mind, he took out the Duhua Spirit Flag, which was rewarded by the system, and swung it gently. The light flickered, and a stream of yellow smoke came out of the throat of the fierce and innocent soul.

The evil soul of Zhang Yu immediately became just like an ordinary person, the evil spirit in his eyes completely disappeared, and clarity returned.

"I beg God to punish me!"

The soul of injustice said tremblingly.

"Escort him and hand him over to the judge for conviction!" Jiang Bai said calmly.

Regardless of the reason, this wronged soul violated the laws of the underworld by devouring other dead souls.

After walking through the vast streets of the dead, one god and one ghost finally arrived at the core area of ​​the City of Wasted Death.

The space in front of you is like a honeycomb, grid-like.

Jiang Bai thought of the ninety-nine and eighty-one levels of the heavenly prison.

The space in front of him was like a prison cell, with countless vicious souls imprisoned in it, and it was extremely cruel.

Although it is not as strong as the Tianlao, its scale and spaciousness are countless times higher.

"These unjust souls all died violently and suffered unimaginable torture before they died. Therefore, they have great resentment and need to be temporarily imprisoned. Otherwise, they will turn into evil ghosts and only bring trouble to the underworld." The ghost official sighed.

Jiang Bai came to one of the prisons, where tens of thousands of innocent souls were imprisoned, either devoured by monsters, haunted by ghosts, or framed by others...

Very deep resentment!

Jiang Bai silently recited "Tai Shang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Immeasurable Human High Grade Miao Sutra".

This was created by the Supreme Saint in order to educate the human race. It can not only save people, but also save the souls of the dead.

Many Western scriptures that help people save the world refer to the Sutra that saves people.

Afterwards, he offered up the banners to save the souls of misfortunes, the banners to save the souls of misfortunes, the banners to save the souls of calamities, and began to save the wronged souls.

I don't know how long it took, but all the pent-up resentment in these wronged souls flew out and flew towards Jiang Bai.

My mind has also returned to clarity, without the previous rage.

"The grievances in the hearts of these deceased souls have dissipated. You can take them with you. Those who are willing to stay in the City of Wasted Death to live out their remaining yin life will be left in the Street of the Past. Those who are not willing will be sent to the Ten Palaces of Yama to die!" Jiang Bai said.

"Yes!"

After receiving the decree, the ghost officer quickly waved the soul-calling flag to lure the souls out of the prison.

After that, Jiang Bai arranged a formation to isolate the surrounding area.

When he was filled with resentment just now, he felt something moving about a treasure in Zi Mansion.

Then with a thought in his mind, he waved his right hand, and a long black flag flew out of the space.

There are countless ghosts and monsters on the long flags, with ferocious faces faintly appearing, and shrill wails heard from time to time.

Astonishingly, it was the Formless Yama Banner.

When he was still a sweeper, he was ordered by Tianpeng to clean the demon-slaying platform.

This magic flag was found in the corpse of a magic fairy.

But later on in the prehistoric small world, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Evil Formations were obtained, so the Phaseless Yama Banner was used less.

Yama is the ancient demon god.

Before Queen Pingxin was reincarnated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this Yama was in charge of the wild and underworld, and all the creatures in the three realms were under his control after death and allowed to be swallowed up by him.

It can be said that it is the palm of the demon clan, the palm of the witch clan, and the palm of the devil.

Later, the earth was established, and the three pure states followed the way of heaven and worked together to kill Yama.

Empress Pingxin incarnated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and based on the prehistoric underworld, evolved into the present underworld.

The Formless Yama Banner flew out, and a bucket of resentment as thick as substance was attracted.

The long flag was suddenly filled with black energy, and the shadow of a devil with three heads and six arms and a ferocious face was looming. As the resentment poured into the long flag, the figure of the formless Yama became clearer and clearer, and finally he was about to jump. Come out, roaring on the long flag, as if to get rid of the shackles of the magic flag!

"This formless Yama seems to have a soft spot for injustice!"

Jiang Bai was a little surprised.

If the demon flag can be strengthened and the fragments of Yama's soul scattered throughout the underworld are collected, it may not be possible to regain the power of Yama in the prehistoric times.

Just like Zhou Qing's Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods Formation, he is also gathering the spirits of ancestral witches.

But this is an extremely long process.

"If you want to gain a foothold in the underworld, this formless Yama is the key!"

Yama is the god of the underworld and has a natural restraint effect on the ghosts and demons of the underworld.

Jiang Bai's mind moved and he began to refine the formless Yama into his external incarnation.

He took out a bunch of objects, each ingot, like an ingot.

With a rich aroma of incense.

It is the Heavenly Gold of Merit, cast from incense and merit.

At that time, Zhao Gongming, the marshal of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Dragon and Tiger Xuantan, was inspired by Tian Chenzi to establish a business path in the three realms.

So the currency system was established in the human world and copper coins were made to replace the previous shells and linen.

The circle symbolizes the sky and the square symbolizes the earth. All copper coins are round on the outside and square on the inside, which makes them easy to carry.

The currencies in circulation are divided into three emperors' money (gold), five emperors' money (silver), Xia's money (copper) and Shang's money (iron).

According to the currency system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one coin from the Three Emperors could be exchanged for ten coins from the Five Emperors, and so on.

Then the money system was also established in heaven, and the merits of incense were used to cast merit heavenly gold, merit heavenly silver, and merit heavenly copper.
