"Master Ghost Hunting Master, why haven't Nie Xiaoqian and the others in Lanruo Temple finished catching them yet? Also, have you ever seen a guy named Yan Chixia?"
Zhang Yang said casually that he didn't quite believe that this world that was already dying was the world of Liao Zhai.
However, the bearded ghost-hunting master opposite snorted coldly, "Lanruo Temple completely collapsed five hundred years ago, but the Nie Xiaoqian and Yan Chixia you mentioned happened a thousand years ago. There is no second Yan Chixia in Guobei County to save his life, or even if the real Yan Chixia comes, it will be useless. In the Dharma Ending Age, thousands of ghosts are rampant. People are either killed by ghosts or become ghosts, and they can only survive. , live one day at a time.”
Hearing this, Zhang Yang was not too surprised, because this was normal. If it was the world in Liaozhai, it definitely could not be regarded as the Age of Ending Dharma.
Nodding, he said in an extremely serious tone: "My name is Zhang Jiao, and I was in the same school as Yan Chixia a thousand years ago. Well, he has to call me senior brother, but the way Yan Chixia practices to enter the world, I practice the way to transcend the world. The way, so after a thousand years, he died with no bones left, but I still have three thousand years of life."
"It's just that in recent days, I was meditating in the cave, and suddenly I came to the human world with a sudden passion. What I saw was this scene of depression in humanity. It was indeed the image of the end of the Dharma. It was an unprecedented catastrophe. I was unable to resist it. , I can only avoid it temporarily, but since you and I have met, we are destined to be together. I am still missing a boy when I sit down. Are you willing to follow me? It is impossible to live forever, but at least I can extend your life for a hundred years."
Zhang Yang was deceived, but the ghost-hunting master opposite him had a face of disbelief, but he didn't let Zhang Yang show his magical powers. He just shook his head and said calmly: "I don't understand what you said, and I don't want to understand, because I I am a ghost hunter, and although I may not be able to eliminate ghosts in one county or one place in my life, I will not give up."
"Where are you going? Along the way, I found that only the area around Guobei County is quite popular." Zhang Yang asked again.
"I'm going to Liangshan County, eight hundred miles away. The farmland in Guobei County had a bad harvest last year, and there's not even enough seeds this spring. I have to buy some seeds and bring them back."
"Since you are a ghost hunter, why do you do this?"
"Because there are thousands of miles of uninhabited wilderness and ghosts everywhere. Except for a ghost hunter like me, ordinary people can't go far."
"I'm afraid your Guobei County won't be able to sustain it for a few more years. I see that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here has become increasingly thinner. When the spiritual energy is lost to a certain extent, nothing you sow will be harvested, and even children will not be born again. So, can you ever Have you considered moving?"
Zhang Yang asked again, and he was telling the truth. In his opinion, Guobei County can last for ten years at most, and then it will become a dead land, just like a low-lying puddle on a dry prairie, which will dry up sooner or later. .
"Where are they going to migrate to? There are only three ghost-catching masters in Guobei County now, including me. How can we ensure that thousands of people migrate in the wild? Although Liangshan County, eight hundred miles away, is slightly better than Guobei County, But it can’t accommodate us.” The man sighed.
"It's further away, like the imperial court in the mortal world."
"The imperial court? Hey, since my grandfather's generation, no county magistrate has ever been to Guobei County, and the only ones we know about are Liangshan County and Qingzhou, but Qingzhou is further away from us, almost two thousand miles away."
When the ghost-catching master said this, the Heaven and Earth Village Building Order in Zhang Yang's hand finally trembled, and mission information appeared one after another.
"The mission of building a village in the world has been officially launched. Main mission one. The total population of mortals in this world has been less than 100,000. Please maintain this level as much as possible. A friendly reminder that if all mortals in this world die, the mission of building a village will completely fail. Although There will be no penalty of being wiped out if you fail, but it also means that your fate with this world and the village establishment order is over."
"Main mission two, because an ancient god has awakened in the first sequence, and he will bring some unknown changes to the six major sequences. Please take this opportunity to renew at least one million units of heaven and earth spiritual energy for this world. "
"The third main task is to establish a sect of cultivating immortals, cultivate the power of immortals lost in this Dharma-ending world, and train at least a thousand immortal cultivators in the foundation-building period."
"Main mission four, no matter what method you use, please overcome the tribulation and ascend."
"The deadline for completing the mission is five hundred years."
"Task reward: unknown."

After reading these mission information, Zhang Yang was very calm. He was already immune. No matter how crazy the village building mission was, it was nothing more than that.
After thinking about it, he said to the ghost-hunting master:
"If you just want to buy some seeds, I can provide them for you. In exchange, you need to take me to Guobei County. I need to select a few boys with immortality."
Zhang Yang said it very politely. Even though he could blow the ghost-catching master in front of him to pieces with just one breath, but he didn't come to this world with an unparalleled ability. There are only more than 100,000 mortals left in total. He can still what to do
Without waiting for the guy to reply, Zhang Yang took out a bag of wheat.
This method of taking things out of thin air finally shocked the ghost hunter. His eyes widened and his beard curled up. It took him a long time to stammer:
"My lord, Immortal Master, do I still have a chance to be your servant?"
—
Guobei County is very desolate, even though it is the only low-lying area with spiritual energy within a thousand miles.
Yes, the spiritual energy is low. Before the end of the Dharma Age, the spiritual energy here will naturally be stronger than other places, so it is natural that stories like A Chinese Ghost Story and the Black Mountain Old Demon will appear.
But now all the monsters in the world are dead. Apart from mortals, the only ones still alive in Guobei County are three old cows and a nest of rats.
Even the cockroaches are dead. Well, people are so hungry that they will eat anything.
Now there are still 1,237 people left in Guobei County. Oh, just now, twelve more people died, killed by ghosts.
Zhang Yang didn't interfere, at least for the time being, because the collapse and destruction of the world had nothing to do with these ghosts.
It’s not because of ghosts that the Dharma-Ending Age exists.
It is precisely in the Age of Dharma Ending that ghosts appear.
"The Immortal Master has great magical powers, can you save me in Guobei County?"
An old man with gray beard and hair knelt in front of Zhang Yang. This was Li Guozhi, the chief ghost hunter in Guobei County. He was also the only remaining big business in Guobei County. It was said that there were several important figures named Li Xiuyuan in his ancestors.
As for the other two ghost-hunting masters, one is his younger brother and the other is his son.
The bearded man Zhang Yang saw on the road before was named Li Guoxiang, and the last one was named Li Zhong.
The three of them are the current highest level of power in Guobei County.
