Wenquxingjun took away all the literary energy in Qingyun Town?
Zhang Ling suddenly realized that this was the root of the problem!
"If after a hundred days, I cannot restore Qingyun to its former peace and tranquility, this calamity must be ended. My true body has also been severely damaged. According to the immortal rules and regulations, you are the local mountain god and have the responsibility to protect it. Only if you help me can I avoid the backlash of the calamity."
After hearing Jinba's words, Zhang Ling remained silent.
This matter not only involves the fairy turtle, but also has a direct relationship with Wenquxingjun.
The causes and effects are complicated and the relationships are confusing.
The cause and effect of Qingyun Town is really a big deal!
a long time.
Thinking of the children in the town, Zhang Ling decided to give it a try and do his best.
It seems that only by allowing Wenquxingjun to return his literary energy can the current problems in Qingyun Town be fundamentally solved.
Otherwise, this town will be filled with fools and idiots, and there will be chaos and disasters.
But I am just an eighth-rank immortal official. Where can I go to seek justice from the God of Literature?
This matter should be considered in the long term.
Just as Zhang Ling was pondering how to break the impasse, the Jinba in front of him handed him a gold-painted token. It felt as heavy as a thousand pounds in his hand. The word "No. 1" was engraved on the back with a silver hook and iron painting, and the front was painted with dynamic scenes of Beiyin Fengdu. At first glance, it looked like falling into the senluo purgatory, so real.
"If you need assistance, you can take this token and descend into the Netherworld. You will be able to travel all the way to the Fengdu Imperial Palace!"
"Please rest assured, my friend. Zhang Ling will do his best!"
——
After returning to Jieyang Mountain, he sat in the Mountain King's residence, holding the golden token and thinking.
Zhang Ling racked his brains for a way out of the impasse.
Go directly to the underworld for help?
No, this is a dead end. After all, Jinba's catastrophe cannot be interfered with by a third party. Not only will it make things worse, it will also harm the other party and cause them to suffer backlash, and it will even implicate the mortals in Qingyun Town.
Go to Beiyin Fengdu Emperor to complain? Say that the immortal tortoise under the seat of Wenquxingjun sneaked down to the mortal world and interfered with Jinba?
Zhang Ling shook his head. Wenquxingjun was one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper. He was in charge of the world's literary fortune and was a third-rank immortal directly under the Heavenly Court. He was highly regarded by the Jade Emperor.
If we only talk about the rank of immortal position, the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu is one rank lower, that is, the fourth rank.
After all, one is directly under the Heavenly Court, and the other is independent of the underworld.
Although the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu is a big shot in the underworld, the heaven is not short of big shots. He can easily knock down a large number of third and fourth rank immortal officials with a brick. Not to mention that he will mess up the matter and offend Wenquxingjun, he may also bring trouble to himself and be in trouble both inside and outside.
Right now, his own words carry little weight. This matter is thorny and difficult to handle. If he ignores it and turns a blind eye, what will become of the mortals of Qingyun Town? A hundred days from now, Jinba will fail in his tribulation, and the people of this area will suffer. As the local mountain god, he will inevitably be punished by the higher-ups, perhaps even made a scapegoat.
Zhang Ling continued to think and began to deduce the inverse proposition.
First of all, the way to break the deadlock is to let Wenquxingjun return the literary energy to Qingyun Town. So how can we make Wenquxingjun do this?
We cannot take too big a step. As the saying goes, cause and effect, there is a cause before there is an effect. We should trace back to the cause, unravel the mystery, and start from the source.
Zhang Ling had a flash of inspiration and decided to give his idea a try.
On that day, a young man holding a folding fan disappeared into the underground and went straight into the underworld.
——
The origin of the "Yellow Spring" rumored in the mortal world is closely related to the earliest group of tomb raiders. Sometimes these tomb robbers would encounter holes with water mixed with loess when digging tombs. Over time, it was called "Yellow Spring", and the Yellow Spring area was said to be the world where people live after death.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise, a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
Huangquan is one of the nine hells and nine springs in the underworld. It is the gateway leading to the world of the living. Often, the first place that the souls of the newly dead pass through when they arrive in the underworld is Huangquan.
But the Yellow Springs is too vast, and what we see now is only a small part of it.
Zhang Ling was walking alone in this dark, twisted, tragic and lightless narrow corridor. There was a bridge in front of him. It was not the "Naihe Bridge" as rumored, but the "Zouyin Bridge". In the distance, two ghost officials were leading some lonely souls across the bridge.
Looking closely, I found that one of the two ghost officials had an ox head and the other had a horse face.
Zhang Ling was stunned. Isn't this the famous Ox-Head and Horse-Face?
In this world, most of the mortals who can be personally bewitched by the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons are either rich or noble, and have extraordinary origins in the human world.
As for the Black and White Impermanence, they generally do not capture the souls of mortals. Their main targets are demons, ghosts, immortals, and spirits.
"Please let me go back, I don't want to die!"
"Shut up! Your life span is over, why do you still want to stay in the human world?"
…
Zhang Ling's ears moved, and he heard the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced God talking with several lonely souls. His eyes lit up, thinking that he could just let these two ghosts lead the way.
"Stop, do you have a pass?"
This action quickly attracted the attention of the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Devil. Seeing that Zhang Ling looked unfamiliar but exuded a strong immortal aura, they began to ask in surprise and doubt.
Zhang Ling took out the Golden Ba token and showed it to the other party, then said bluntly: "I am Zhang Ling, the mountain god of Jieyang Mountain. I have come from the human world and wish to inquire about the files of those who died unjustly."
As soon as the golden token came out, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons were suddenly shocked and wanted to kneel down and kowtow: "Greetings, Immortal!"
"I'm not a high-ranking immortal, I'm just holding this order on your behalf. There's no need for such grand ceremony!"
Zhang Ling waved his sleeves, and a stream of magical power came out, gently dragging the two ghosts and gods, preventing them from saluting.
After a few greetings, the atmosphere became relaxed and harmonious, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guards enthusiastically led Zhang Ling towards the underworld.
"Since you are here to investigate the cause of death, you should go to the Yinlu Division and find Lord Cui. This lord is in charge of all the files of the underworld!"
