One year ago,
On the main city wall of the underworld,
Ying Gou destroyed the King of Chujiang.
It directly promoted the disintegration of the Ten Hells of Hell system;
Next, there was a huge change in the underworld. The Nine Eunuchs, who had been dormant for a long time, came out and took over the order of the entire underworld. The sky of hell, with the addition of a blood-red cloud, became particularly hideous and terrifying.
The final madness and memorial ceremony of the first generation, the rebellion and ending of King Taishan,
Everything seems to have happened just yesterday.
In fact,
Eliminate the time when you were unconscious.
It really feels like it just happened yesterday.
Previously, I learned from Lawyer An that yin and yang were blocked, and the souls of those who died this year could not enter hell and reincarnate, and most of them turned to ashes.
This is a massacre without gunpowder smoke.
But it is more cruel and more terrifying.
Even if it is a war in the world of the living, it will only destroy you physically.
But here,
It will wipe you out from the soul!
The cruel attitude displayed by the new underworld makes people feel uneasy from the beginning.
Cruelty is cruel, coldness is cold, but Zhou Ze always feels that this should not be all.
The Bodhisattva has been planning for so long, and the Nine Eunuchs have been waiting for so long. If it was just a matter of changing the flags on the city walls like when the last generation disappeared, why would they be so busy and tired
It's just that simple, just that little pursuit, all the preparations before are not equivalent to taking off pants and putting down ******,
The real impact has been sensed by Zhou Ze.
A certain order, a certain rule, seemed to have triggered a chain reaction because of the changes in hell.
If we say that the fall of the City God lineage was because they joined the rebellion against the Ten Kings of Hell and thus suffered suppression from the underworld, then there is still a cause and effect to be found;
So, in the past few years, Zhou Ze has encountered "local gods", "mountain gods" and "immortals".
Basically, no one is doing well or happily.
Even if they are as free as the white fox, they can only open a club in the world of the living to barely support themselves and their fox offspring;
Even a strong boy could only hide in a cave in the ground for fear of being struck by lightning.
Everything shows that there is a rule in this world that is restricting, even suppressing, or, it can be said... eliminating.
The dishes under Xie Laosan’s grave are a deception. His plaque has been buried there for decades, but to Lao Zhang, a professional criminal policeman, it looks very new.
A magical force is changing and fermenting.
Zhou Ze used the word "spiritual"
It really describes the manifestation of this change very aptly.
Xie Laosan will not harm anyone.
Because he died a righteous death,
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a hero and a real man.
This kind of people, even if they turn into ghosts, will not harm living beings.
Throughout the ages, most of the gods of mountains, rivers, lakes and temples, the source of their incense, the origin of their existence, and their origin of birth are actually "heroes" from various places.
There are heroes who fought against the Japanese invaders, martyrs who sacrificed their lives to control floods, filial sons and daughters whose filial piety moved people everywhere, masters who taught and educated people, and famous doctors who cured diseases and saved lives with high medical ethics...
After death, such people often receive spontaneous incense offerings from local villagers.
They don't belong to the category of "evil spirits".
After becoming a spirit, it will become a being that guards the land and protects the local weather and good harvests.
Zhou Ze remembered the "Green-robed Lady" he faced at that time. In fact, the Green-robed Lady was already in a very miserable state at that time. The temple had been demolished and the incense had long since died out.
It can be said that at that time, all temple gods, no matter whether they were officially canonized or considered obscene in the eyes of the officials, were in a precarious and dilapidated state.
You are broken, I am dead, he is dead;
There's no need to laugh at each other, we're all the same.
But now,
Look at this posture,
It won't be long before Xie Laosan becomes the river god of this stream or the local land god.
This is a new beginning and also a new change.
As for whether this change is good or bad, and what kind of impact it will have on the overall situation...
Um,
Boss Zhou has never really liked to consider the overall situation.
When I returned to Xie Laosan's grave, I didn't bring any incense or candles, so I asked Lao Zhang to stick three cigarettes on the ground as a token of my gratitude, after all, I had destroyed someone else's grave.
But Xie Laosan shouldn't be too angry. Your grave has been in a bad state anyway, and I'm saving you the demolition fee.
Zhou Ze had no intention of targeting Xie Lao San. He had come here specifically to take advantage of the situation and collect some ghost money. Now it seems that it is really inappropriate.
This is someone else's incense and merit, and it is the prelude to someone's transformation into a temple god or a land god. Boss Zhou is naturally not afraid of him, but there is no need to do such a thing as deliberately killing the goose that lays the eggs when there is no grudge between them.
but,
Zhou Ze still pointed at the female ghost next to him.
road:
"You don't have to go anywhere else. Just stay here and take care of his grave."
The female ghost felt relieved when she saw that Zhou Ze had finally dealt with her and had no intention of killing her. But it was obvious that she was unwilling to stay here to guard the grave.
She prefers the free and easy life.
On those men,
at the same time,
Suck the essence out of those men!
Zhou Ze could naturally understand what the ghost girl was thinking, so he said directly:
"You took his money, and he will probably become the local god in no time. There is a cause and effect between you two, and even if you run away, you can't cut it off.
Instead of waiting for him to come after you,
It would be better for me to be nicer and stay here to apologize.
If I could get a burning incense,
It will be of some benefit to you, and may even help alleviate the embarrassment of your current identity as a ghost.
Do you really think that the gates of hell will be closed forever
One year has passed.
How long do you think you can continue to be carefree and carefree?"
The bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and immortals in those mythological stories always have a large group of boys sitting under them. What is the purpose? Isn't it just that if one person achieves enlightenment, the whole family will benefit.
This is the same principle as local people relying on family connections to get a job for their family members.
After hearing what Zhou Ze said, the female ghost nodded willingly.
Before Zhou Ze left, he took one last look at the collapsed grave, sighed, and asked Lao Zhang to drive away.
On the road,
Boss Zhou took out a bottle of mineral water from the front drawer of the car, drank two sips, and said helplessly:
"It's a wasted trip."
Lao Zhang nodded.
"By the way, Lao Zhang, I need a favor from you."
"Boss, you go ahead."
"Please take some time to go to Tongcheng and ask Lao An to come with you to do a thorough investigation of the area and see which guys are about to get the license to work.
We don’t need to be afraid of them, but if we can establish a good relationship with them before they hatch, our lives will be more comfortable in the future.”
Boss Zhou has always had no ambitions, but the bookstore and Tongcheng where it is located have always been regarded by Zhou Ze as his own private territory.
Establishing relationships with those guys in advance means that you will have a lot more eyes and ears in Tongcheng in the future. Why not do it
Anyway, I can't afford to do this job.
"The mountain gods, river gods, and land gods are all going to come out again, right, boss?"
Old Zhang asked at this time.
"That's about right. The rules have changed a bit. Things that were suppressed and banned before are now starting to reappear."
This reminded Zhou Ze of Zhao Zhongxiang's classic line: This is the season when all things come back to life, and animals are starting to mate...
"Is that good or bad?"
"I don't know."
"Will the Kitchen God come back again?"
"Kitchen God?"
"I still remember the nursery rhyme from my childhood, which goes, 'Speak good things to the gods above and keep the world safe below.' I remember that we would use paste to smear the mouth of the Kitchen God on that day. Now this custom no longer exists. It's been a long, long time."
When Zhou Ze heard this, his mind suddenly moved.
He suddenly thought of something.
That is, if the changes in hell lead to changes in the order of yin and yang, and the increase in the number of evil spirits is only the outer surface, then further, the existence of land that was almost extinct will revive again.
So,
The essence and ultimate direction.
Zhou Ze, who was sitting in the passenger seat, began to look upwards.
Moved to the sky and saw the moon in the sky.
The final change,
Is it an immortal
