Chapter 361: Ghost Haunting
Although Qin Luan was destined to have a dispute with the Great Witch Kingdom, Jiang Li did not think that Qin Luan would lose.
After all, Qin Luan and Yuan Wuxing are both people that Jiang Li likes, so he is still very confident in his own judgment.
…
Jiang Li quickly dealt with the matters reported by the guards.
Now the Human Emperor Palace needs to deal with far fewer things than before.
Jiang Li still remembered the first time he came to the Human Emperor Palace more than four hundred years ago, and saw Commander Liu and the Old Emperor dealing with various matters reported by the guards, and they were overwhelmed.
For example, a dispute broke out here, a demon monk appeared over there, and some places were reluctant to obey the orders of the Human Emperor Palace...
Most of these things were caused by the fact that there were many forces that pretended to obey the Human Emperor Palace but actually disobeyed it, such as the Tianji Pavilion.
After Jiang Li reached the Mahayana stage, he visited these forces one by one and politely asked them to behave themselves.
When these forces learned that the current Human Emperor had achieved the Mahayana stage with an incredible performance, and that Jiang Li had visited them, they immediately expressed their absolute commitment to implementing the purpose of the Human Emperor Palace.
They knew very well that Jiang Li's courtesy to them was the first step. If they still didn't know what was tactful, Jiang Li would have to take the second step and let them see the value of the Mahayana period.
Since then, the number of things that the Human Emperor Palace needed to deal with decreased sharply, so Jiang Li felt at ease letting Commander Liu take charge of the Human Emperor Palace.
Two days passed. Jiang Li was yawning out of boredom and playing rock-paper-scissors with himself in the mirror.
Unfortunately, there was no winner.
It would be fun if I could beat the mirror once, or if the mirror could beat me once.
The Human Emperor Palace handles far fewer things than it did more than four hundred years ago.
"There is something I would like you to decide, Palace Master." A guard stood straight, trying to leave a good impression on Jiang Li.
"explain."
"Some countries said that 'ghosts' appeared in their countries. The guards stationed in those countries also reported that things that looked like 'ghosts' did appear, but the nature of the 'ghosts' is not certain at the moment, and there have been no cases of 'ghosts' hurting or harming people."
Jiang Li put away the mirror and straightened his posture slightly. This matter sounded very important.
There are endless legends about ghosts among the people, such as evil spirits demanding lives, unresolved love between humans and ghosts, etc.
When he first came here, Jiang Li knew nothing and thought that these folk legends were true, but it was just because he had not practiced enough and had too little experience that he had never seen a ghost. Later, as his horizons broadened, he read many classics left by immortals, listened to Immortal Changcun and Buddha Xumi talk about the underworld and the process of reincarnation, and no longer believed that there were ghosts in the world.
After a person dies, the soul will automatically enter the underworld. There will never be a soul that stays in the human world or practices in the world of the living.
The only place in the world that has ghosts is the underworld.
In the words of Immortal Changcun, this is called the law of the operation of heaven and earth, and it is a law that cannot be violated.
This is like one plus one equals two, two plus two equals four. After building the foundation is the golden elixir, and after the golden elixir is the primordial infant. This is a law that cannot be changed. It is the foundation of the world. If it wants to change, both heaven and earth will be in chaos.
Jiang Li unfolded the map of Kyushu: "Tell me, where did the ghosts appear?"
The guard stepped forward and pointed out the spot where the ghost had appeared.
"Da Zhou, Tianyuan, Mengjiang, Da Wei... so many places?" Jiang Li was surprised. If it was said that there were cultivators with mysterious methods that made people mistakenly think they were ghosts, it would be understandable.
But if six out of the nine dynasties say there are ghosts, and the guards stationed here also say there are ghosts, this matter may not be as simple as imagined.
The nine dynasties not only represent strength, but also heritage. With their knowledge, they will not be like the ignorant cultivators who believe everything they hear or say that a shadow is a ghost.
The report describes that there is a certain existence that cannot be seen by vision or spiritual consciousness, but the voice in the heart always tells oneself to look back, look back, there is something behind.
Especially at night, when passing by a cemetery, this feeling becomes more obvious.
Moreover, this is not the experience of a young cultivator in the Qi training stage, but the personal experience of a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage.
Jiang Li also saw pictures drawn by guards who had seen ghosts with their own eyes. The pictures showed blurry white figures that seemed like they could disappear into the air at any time.
Jiang Li frowned. This thing really looked like a ghost.
He wrote a warrant and handed it to the guard: "Take thirty people to these places and contact the local countries. Say it's my order and ask for cooperation in the investigation to see if you can find any clues."
Jiang Li used the remote communication symbol to contact Commander Huang again, and tried to find something for this self-pitying commander to do.
"You are closest to the Mengjiang Dynasty. Go there to investigate. Report to me if you find anything."
"Yes!" Commander Huang felt very happy that he was entrusted with an important task.
"Palace Master, I'm back." Commander Liu was in high spirits, as if he had a second spring. Even his appearance became younger because of his better mood, from old age to middle age.
"That's perfect. You continue to stay in the Human Emperor Palace, and I'll go to the Great Zhou to take a look." Jiang Li left. The Mengjiang Dynasty was the westernmost dynasty in Jiuzhou, and he let Commander Huang be in charge. The Great Zhou Dynasty was the easternmost dynasty in Jiuzhou, and he wanted to check the situation personally.

Commander Liu sat in Jiang Li's seat very skillfully.
After Jiang Li left, another guard came to the hall excitedly: "Palace Master, there is something here... Commander Liu, why are you back so early?"
The guard showed disappointment.
Commander Liu: “…”
I think you don't want your salary anymore.
…
Jiang Li arrived at Anyang City of Da Zhou according to the location marked by the guards on the map.
Officials in Anyang City have reported many times that things that look like ghosts have appeared in Anyang City.
Jiang Li released his spiritual sense and did not find the ghost, but he saw a familiar person in the yamen.
A typical figure in the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty—Du Ping, a cultivator in the fusion stage.
"Du Ping, how come you got into trouble again?" The Lord of Anyang City was speechless. He was promoted step by step from the head of the Anyang City jail. Du Ping had been in Anyang City for a while, so he and Du Ping were acquainted.
It is said that as long as Du Ping does not commit any crimes again within 50 years, Emperor Jiang will allow Du Ping to join the Emperor Palace. However, Du Ping did not appreciate Emperor Jiang's kindness and broke the law again.
"This is a blatant frame-up!" This time, Du Ping acted out of character and refused to admit that he had committed any crime. His attitude was extremely firm.
"I know what you're thinking. You think that after committing a crime, you can't join the Human Emperor Palace, right? But this is not a reason for you to deny committing a crime."
"The facts are here. Can you change the facts by not admitting it?"
"I, Du Ping, dare to take responsibility for my actions. If I did it, I will admit it. If I didn't do it, I won't admit it. Now they accuse me of molesting women after drinking. I would never do such a thing!"
Du Ping pointed at the witnesses nearby, all of whom said that they had drunk a lot of alcohol last night, were in a state of confusion, and molested women.
Although Du Ping had no memory of being drunk, he knew that he was not that kind of person, so he refused to admit what happened last night.
He has violated the law nearly a thousand times and has a criminal record as long as his body, but he has never flirted with women! "When I drink, I, Du Ping, only roll around with my shirt off, and I will never flirt with women!" Du Ping said proudly.
The Lord of Anyang City didn't know what he was so proud of.
