Xu Changfu has been very distressed recently.
He was originally a young cultivator at the Yuanshen realm of the Taishan system.
Logically speaking, after reaching the Yuanshen realm, he could be sent out to become the head of the Dongyue Temple in a small county.
But as luck would have it, one day he got drunk and complained about his master, and was caught by his master.
As we all know, for monks, the master is the sky, the master is the earth, and the master is the existence second only to the monks' main god.
How can this be tolerated?
So all his fellow apprentices were demoted, but he stayed because he was "favored by the master."
That's fine.
When he was teaching his female disciple Lingxi the sword technique, he accidentally stabbed her to death.
Oops! This is troublesome.
Although monks value detachment, they still have to abide by the rules when living in the human world.
Fortunately, the Taishan faction was still quite powerful and spared him the death penalty, but expelled him from the fairy mountain.
Without a good environment for cultivation, Xu Changfu's cultivation stagnated. He thought of the alchemy that was a must-learn for beginners in the Taishan School.
Fortunately, a batch of medicine was refined, and Xu Changfu was very satisfied. After taking it, his magic power began to surge...
Then he realized that he had bought an expired spiritual material in order to save money.
So, he died.
The Taoist tradition of Da Qi has strict management over the souls of monks.
Even though Xu Changfu was just an exiled monk, after his death, there were still people who came to collect his soul to prevent him from causing trouble in the future.
He stayed in the Death Jade, which was used to store the dead souls, for an unknown period of time before his master released him.
"Changfu, your teacher has worked so hard to get you this opportunity. You must seize it and keep working hard."
Then Xu Changfu got a volume of the Book of Life and Death, which belonged to Han County.
Then he learned that there was a boy named Kong Hanan who had become a favorite of Emperor Dongyue.
What will happen then?
The authority of the underworld must be in the hands of us, the monks of Mount Tai!
Xu Changfu became a ghost messenger and went down to the underworld with the souls of his five deceased brothers.
Everything was normal at the beginning. He showed his Book of Life and Death to the Bull Demon Clan. Everything went smoothly. The group of silly Bull Demons treated him as a guest of honor.
Because of him, under the bright moonlight, many more ghosts appeared near the bull demon. With the help of his fellow apprentices, he successfully advanced to become a ghost catcher, and made his fellow apprentices become ghost messengers.
Just when he was about to get a bull demon to become a Yincha, the bull demon tribe's attitude towards him changed.
"Master Xu, run! Someone has planted the seeds of the Shura tribe nearby. The tribe suspects that you are colluding with the Shura tribe's evil spirits and want to kill you."
The bull demon who had almost won the victory before came hurriedly to report the news.
Xu Changfu was startled and quickly turned around and fled with his fellow disciples.
But after hiding for a while, his living conditions became worse and worse, he couldn't catch ghosts anymore, and there was no sign of him getting promoted to captain.
Xu Changfu was distressed.
As he was thinking, he suddenly came to his senses.
I didn't do anything, why should I run away?
If I run away, doesn't that mean I'm the one who did it?
His fellow disciples also began to feel very dissatisfied with him.
"What's going on with Changfu? What are we hiding from every day?"
"Changfu, can you do it? I heard that the scholar that the emperor has his eye on has started building the city."
"Changfu, we hide every day, when will we be able to become ghost catchers?"
The morale of the team is low and it is difficult to lead it.
Xu Changfu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.
"I won't run away anymore! Next time they come, I'll talk to them clearly."
Then, not long after, the Bull Demon Clan really came.
A group of horse demons also came.
Xu Changfu hid in the cave and laughed loudly.
"Brothers, our mounts are here. I'll go out and explain things to them..."
"snort!"
"ha!"
Countless yellow and white lights covered the sky.
Xu Changfu is gone.
A burst of precious light flashed and disappeared in an instant.
The five ghost messengers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
A cultivator named Fang Lang stood up.
"The only solution now is to find that scholar named Kong Han'an. You just said that he's now running a large business and is also a favored member of the Great Emperor. If we don't look for him, who else can we look for?"
A monk was a little puzzled.
"We can go to other senior brothers."
Fang Lang glared at him.
"We all came to the underworld randomly, and so did the undead. Do you know where they are? That bastard from the Shura clan didn't follow the rules and plotted against us. Should we surrender to him?"
The four monks looked at each other, thought it made sense, and nodded.
"Did you guys get away?"
A simple and honest voice sounded beside the five people.
The five people's expressions changed and they turned around, only to see that the entrance of the cave was covered by a huge bull's eye.
"Do you really think we are the bull monsters of the underworld and don't eat people?"
…
Kong Hanan breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the extra Book of Life and Death in his hand.
He originally thought that his rules were no big deal, just a little bit stronger.
But he didn't expect that this was not the emperor's law.
As a result, I didn't pay attention to my facial expression management before.
But fortunately, even the God of Wealth is not sure.
Although the God of Wealth always smiles, Kong Hanan doesn't think that he will show mercy to him.
Fortunately, I was able to cover up the lie at the critical moment.
"Master, what are you thinking about? I just felt it coming."
Kong Hanan smiled and waved the Book of Life and Death in his hand.
"My laws were discovered through the guidance of the Martial Saint himself. How could they not be the divine power of the Great Emperor?"
The God of Wealth was somewhat skeptical.
