On the way, Leng Xiangying finally told them where they were going.
The Yin Messengers of the underworld are different in strength and weakness, but they have one thing in common, that is, no one who becomes a Yin Messenger wants to be demoted back to a Yin Messenger. However, the assessment system of the underworld is based on the number of evil spirits in the jurisdiction. Once the number exceeds the limit, they will be dismissed and replaced by more talented people. In fact, this number is set very loosely, and basically the Yin-Yang magicians in each jurisdiction will help catch some, but problems will arise when neither the magicians nor the Yin Messengers can solve the problem.
Nanshi is prosperous, but has always been stable, because the Yincha Lu Tong in this area is a ruthless man. Leng Xiangying is always in the top ten of the Yincha performance rankings, but always lingers at seventh or eighth place, while Lu Tong is always in the top three.
Lu Tong has more experience than Leng Xiangying, and his strength is close to Yin Shuai. He is also the only Yin Cha whose wife is also a Yin Cha.
Lu Tong and Yin Miao were fellow Taoist brothers and sisters when they were alive. After their death, they worked as ghost messengers together. After thousands of years of training, they had already become among the best in the world. The areas under their jurisdiction have always been stable.
The further back in time the Hades traces back, the more incomplete the system becomes. An incomplete system has irreparable loopholes.
After all, the world of the living and the world of the dead are two different worlds. Except for the ghost messengers, the underworld officials rarely come to the world of the living. Most of the remaining problems have to be solved by sorcerers.
The place they were going to today was a school a hundred years ago, and more than three thousand years ago it was a mass grave.
To be honest, this place has something to do with Leng Xiangying. At that time, this was also the territory of Shen State. Under the rule of my father and brothers, people died every day in this land. No matter if they were civilians or low-level soldiers, as long as they died, they would be dragged into a mass grave. With more and more corpses and more and more resentment, this place gradually became a dead land.
Every day there are cases of evil spirits eating people.
At that time, the Underworld was in civil strife due to the sudden disappearance of the previous Meng Po, and there were simply not enough people to deal with the dead souls. Moreover, after the dead souls turned into ghosts, if their obsessions were not eliminated, or if they were forcibly taken into the Underworld without being saved, they would run wild in the Underworld, and their evil aura would affect those souls in the Underworld that had long been calm.
There was not even Meng Po in the underworld at that time, and Meng Po soup was in an unstable state. The King of Hell did not dare to take the risk of letting ghosts enter the underworld.
Finally, it was the leader of the Sanqing Taoist sect at that time who teamed up with dozens of Yin-Yang magicians to set up a formation to seal off the place and suppress all the ghosts underground. Only then did the land come back to life.
For thousands of years thereafter, every underworld messenger would regularly check the strength of the seal and reinforce it.
It was not until more than a hundred years ago that a school was built on this land.
When the war broke out, the enemy blew up the school in order to break the people's hearts. Nearly a thousand people, including students, teachers and grassroots staff, died without a single survivor.
Also blown up was the seal buried deep underground. Ghostly energy continued to emerge from the ground. By the time the ghost messenger arrived, those students who died sadly had already turned into vengeful ghosts.
There were wars everywhere, and there was not much time left for the underworld and the sorcerers. There was not enough time to liberate so many dead souls at the same time, so they had to suppress them again, including those students.
Since then, the formation has become increasingly unstable, but it was barely stabilized after the King of Hell personally came to the world of the living to exert power on the formation. However, there are always people who seek death. Some time ago, a developer took a fancy to this piece of land, and dug up a corner of the formation on the day of groundbreaking. They were so careless that they directly dug out the soul-calming wood, and not only dug it out but also broke it.
There was almost no possibility of reinforcing the formation again. Lu Tong was so angry that his hair turned white. He barely used the Yinhun card to suppress the broken corner of the formation and urgently contacted for reinforcements. Then he became a little angry and had a quarrel with Yin Miao. Yin Miao then said she could not come.
Hades' order this time was to disperse all the dead souls if they could not be saved. This hidden danger must not be allowed to continue, so this time they would definitely spend time to forcibly save the dead souls. The souls after forced salvation would be extremely weak and could dissipate at any time. Leng Xiangying bought two thousand soul-fixing talismans. According to Leng Xiangying's idea, as long as they succeeded in forcibly saving the dead souls, Jin Banwei could legitimately distribute soul-fixing talismans to those dead souls, and those dead souls would be very grateful to her.
Although there are many Yin-Yang magicians on this trip, the main forces are the Underworld, Sanqing Taoism and Jianzhao Temple. As long as these three forces do not attack Ren Qiao, Ren Qiao should not have any problems.
The more she listened to the plot, the more familiar it sounded. After Leng Xiangying finished her story, Jin Banwei finally remembered the plot of the original book.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the heroine Guan Jiyue's first life-threatening crisis.
"Officer Shen, let's not go."
It's too late.
When Jin Banwei spoke, Cheng Lanyi had already stepped on the accelerator and drove into the barrier. Almost the moment they entered, the entrance to the barrier was closed.
Leng Xiangying rolled her eyes at her: "Can you back out sooner?"
If she could have remembered it earlier, she would have backed out in advance. It's not that she was afraid, but the plot in the original book was too dark. She didn't want to dirty her heart or Ren Qiao's eyes.
Originally, people from all directions gathered together to perform the salvation of the dead, but some of the ghosts inside were already very powerful, and their consciousness of resistance was too strong, so they could only open a passage to the underground and use the formation to assist, first kill the leading ghosts, and then perform the salvation.
The two leaders of Jianzhao Temple and Sanqing Taoist Sect and the two ghost messengers used all their strength to maintain the formation, while the heroine and the disciples of Jianzhao Temple of Sanqing Taoist Sect who entered the formation took the lead in killing all the evil ghosts. They were exhausted when they were waiting to leave the formation. On the contrary, the ghost catchers and Taoist sorcerers who did not take much action were still full of energy.
I don't know who started the process, but what was originally a joint salvation ceremony between the Yin and Yang worlds turned into a robbery of powerful forces by ordinary sorcerers. They did not choose to save the souls of the dead, but killed all the people from Jianzhao Temple and Sanqing Taoist sect, looted the treasures they brought, and even used their bones and blood to feed evil spirits. Even the two ghost messengers and the ghost messengers they brought were eaten.
In the end, most of the suppressed evil ghosts escaped, and the prosperous Nanshi became a ghost town, with man-eating ghosts everywhere. Guan Jiyue barely escaped by offering her family heirloom, but she was seriously injured and in critical condition. They also colluded to slander the heroine, saying that she killed the ghost messenger and the people of the Sanqing Dao Sect of Jianzhao Temple. The heroine was unable to fight against the crowd and was almost surrounded and killed by all the major forces. Fortunately, the ghost messenger Lu Tong was careful and used his last breath to hide the ghost tablet.
The turmoil in South City was so great that Hades had to lead his troops to personally resolve it. He also happened to sense Lu Tong's ghost card and learned the truth through the ghost card, thus clearing the heroine's name.
It’s good that she’s here. She can change everything. Those people from the Sanqing Taoist Sect and Jianzhao Temple were still worried that the runaway ghosts would hurt ordinary people before they died. They were all good people and shouldn’t have died in such a miserable way.
But she is not strong enough, does she really have the ability to change these?
Everyone here should be better than her.
Jin Banwei got off the car with a nervous mood. This place was completely separated from the outside world. It had been abandoned for a hundred years and was full of wasteland and debris. Only a few remaining walls showed some traces of the school from a hundred years ago. Most of the place was desolate and desolate with no grass growing.
A dead place means there are no living things.
A lot of people gathered together, including predators and the preyed.
Their eyes all fell on them, because there was a ghost in Jin Banwei's team, a ghost without the mark of the underworld. A real ghost appearing in a place full of Yin-Yang magicians was undoubtedly very dangerous.
Leng Xiangying wanted to scold Jin Banwei, but she didn't feel like it at the moment. She got out of the car and together with Jin Banwei, blocked Ren Qiao behind them.
As soon as they stood up, a man came towards them. The man was very tall, about two meters tall, with a coarse cloth casually draped over his upper body, revealing his muscular body, tight abdominal muscles, and bronze skin. He was holding a huge black iron fork in his hand, and his reddish-brown eyes showed a gleam of brilliance.
When Cheng Lanyi saw him coming, she quickly got out of the car and called out respectfully, "Boss."
Leng Xiangying was not as respectful as Cheng Lanyi. She waved at the man lazily: "Brother Niu, long time no see."
He is the Bull Head.
But Zhou Zheng's thick eyebrows and big eyes were not even as scary as Cheng Lanyi's bull-head mask, and he did not come here in the original book.
Hearing that he was Niu Tou, Jin Banwei felt a little relieved. Niu Tou was one of the ten great Yin Marshals. Jin Banwei had no ability to change the outcome, but he always had the ability. As long as he was not exhausted, those scattered sands were doomed to be helpless.
Although Cheng Lanyi was Niu Tou's subordinate, Niu Tou was obviously more familiar with Leng Xiangying. He nodded at Leng Xiangying and looked at Ren Qiao with interest: "Hahaha, Xiangying, this is the secret weapon you always talk about. Xiaobai often complains that you didn't ask her for help after you had a female ghost king, so she had no reason to ask King Shenyuan for leave to go out and play."
The Minotaur is very generous, and his laughter is like thunder, rumbling and shaking people's eardrums.
They all looked up at Niutou, and Leng Xiangying proudly put her arm around Ren Qiao's shoulder: "Yes, yes, my secret weapon."
Jin Banwei didn't expect that thanks to Leng Xiangying, Niu Tou had heard of Ren Qiao, so Ren Qiao should be much safer.
He looked at Ren Qiao with admiration again, and exclaimed: "She really has a strong aura!"
Niu Tou was a bull demon in his previous life. He usually appeared as a half-demon, with a bull's head and bull's hooves plus a human body. Today, because he had to deal with so many living people, he completely transformed into a human form. Many people did not recognize him, and even showed some hostility when they saw him approaching Ren Qiao.
He himself didn't care and was still chatting and laughing with Leng Xiangying.
Niu Tou and Leng Xiangying have a very good relationship. He didn't pay much attention to Cheng Lanyi from beginning to end, but he was very friendly to Ren Qiao, whom Leng Xiangying called a secret weapon, and even looked up to Jin Banwei, who was held by Ren Qiao.
Leng Xiangying asked him, "Brother Niu, didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to Fenzhou Mountain? How come you have time to come here today?"
"Xiao Bai went in my place. When she heard from Lu Tong that you were coming, she guessed that you would bring a secret weapon. After all, you have always cherished your life, so you must bring a trump card when you come to a dangerous place. She asked me to take a look at your secret weapon. If you are not strong enough, she asked me to persuade you to give it up as soon as possible, and then discuss with King Shenyuan again to let her continue to help you."
Leng Xiangying pouted: "Then Sister Bai can do it herself."
Niu Tou looked down at Leng Xiangying with a faint smile in his eyes: "This is my subordinate's territory after all. Xiaobai can't come here past me. Xiaobai knows the rules better than you."
Unexpectedly, Niu Tou came here just because Bai Wuchang wanted to see Ren Qiao. Jin Banwei explained why Niu Tou, who was not originally here in the book, suddenly appeared. It turned out that it was because they mistakenly entered this game, and thus Niu Tou was also in danger.
Jin Banwei quickly figured out the cause and effect, but if Niu Tou was also killed here, she didn’t know if they would be considered to be implicated.
But if all the bull heads were damaged, would they be able to survive?
Jin Banwei couldn't help but worry. If Guan Jiyue knew about this, she would probably sneer and look down on others. She would have already found a foolproof plan and was just waiting for the true nature of those people to be exposed so that she could kill them all in one fell swoop. But Jin Banwei couldn't do that. She didn't have that ability.
By the way, Guan Jiyue!
As long as Guan Jiyue is not as embarrassed as in the original book, and loses strength due to dealing with too many ghosts, the situation in the book where ordinary warlocks unite to plunder the resources of big forces will not happen.
Jin Banwei was looking for Guan Jiyue, while Leng Xiangying was unaware of the danger. She was still joking with Niu Tou: "It's so sad. Brother Niu actually said that I don't know the rules."
"Hahaha, don't always be like this!" Her fake crying made Niu Tou laugh, but the next moment his face became slightly serious, and he gently patted Leng Xiangying on the shoulder: "But to be honest, Xiangying, it is still very dangerous for you to bring ghosts here, but I am here to protect you, they dare not move. Although it is a good thing that you want to come and help, Xiangying, if there is really chaos here later, you should hide and watch the fun, and don't act rashly. If you lose your life here, Xiaobai will not let me go."
He gave Leng Xiangying instructions, which not only showed his concern for Leng Xiangying, but also his protection for Ren Qiao.
Niu Tou just came towards them and took the initiative to get to know Ren Qiao, which showed his attitude.
Although many people here still don't know his identity, they will know it when the fight starts. His attitude also means that Ren Qiao will be safe before he falls.
He is truly a righteous brother.
Although this kindness was actually for Leng Xiangying, Jin Banwei was still very grateful to him for protecting Ren Qiao.
She became even more determined to change the heroine's behavior. As long as the woman with all the cheats was energetic, or the people from Jianzhao Temple and Sanqing Taoist Sect were not exhausted, those people should not dare to act rashly.
Niutou didn't talk to them any more. He took Cheng Lanyi to Lu Tong.
Cheng Lanyi originally planned to follow Leng Xiangying, but when she met her immediate superior, she naturally had to follow her superior's footsteps and work actively.
Lu Tong was a sorcerer when he was alive, but he looked like an elegant scholar in his forties, with a delicate, thin figure and a beard. He didn't look like a fierce policeman at all. There was a woman standing on his right, and behind him were his secret agents. The woman next to him was not much different in age from him, a few years younger, and should be Yin Miao.
Yin Miao said that she would not come, but she certainly could not just sit there and do nothing when something happened in the jurisdiction of her lover, with whom she had lived for thousands of years.
In the original book, the couple were stabbed when they were exhausted, and finally died together at the hands of a ghost.
There should be some changes in this life, and the most crucial link is Guan Jiyue. Jin Banwei couldn't tell Leng Xiangying and the others what she knew, otherwise she would be easily questioned why she knew such a thing. Moreover, now those ordinary cultivators are greeting each other with a smile, and it is difficult to associate those smiling faces with stabbing behavior. Therefore, finding the heroine and helping her keep it in her body is the best way she can think of at the moment.
Jin Banwei firmly believes that Guan Jiyue, as the heroine, has an aura about her, so her physical condition can change most of the things that might happen.
But she searched for a long time and didn't see Guan Jiyue.
"Damn it, why didn't Cheng Lanyi tell me that Guan Jiyue would come too!"
Leng Xiangying suddenly complained, and Jin Banwei subconsciously turned around to look at her. Then, following her gaze, she saw Guan Jiyue hiding in the ruins.
According to Guan Jiyue's personality, she is unwilling to get involved in such a lively event, but whether it was the first suppression of this place thousands of years ago or the suppression of this place a hundred years ago, the Guan family was involved. In a sense, this is also a legacy issue of the Guan family, so she came here.
But she was too solitary. Although people came, it was as if they had not come. Everyone was talking enthusiastically, but she was the only one staring at the remaining bricks in a daze. She felt cold all over, and she was just about to have the words "No Trespassing" engraved on her forehead.
It was just a coincidence that when Jin Banwei looked over, Guan Jiyue happened to look over as well. When her gaze swept over Ren Qiao, her eyes paused, but she ultimately ignored him, just looked at Jin Banwei deeply, and then turned her head away.
She had no intention of talking to them. After all, based on what she said last time, it was already a good thing that she didn't directly attack Ren Qiao this time.
It would probably be very difficult for Jin Banwei to convince Guan Jiyue to listen to her.
"Xiao Jin, Officer Shen, that seems to be the girl we met in Yin Street." Ren Qiao also saw Guan Jiyue, and saw Guan Jiyue standing alone in front of the broken wall. She said, "Should we go talk to her? She seems very lonely."
She was extremely afraid of being alone, and subconsciously felt that Guan Jiyue, who seemed a little lonely beside her, was a little pitiful.
Ren Qiao was not good at holding grudges, so naturally he did not hold a grudge against Guan Jiyue for her various provocations and hatred towards them in Yin Street.
After all, by the end, Guan Jiyue's hostility had obviously weakened.
But Guan Jiyue is different from her. Guan Jiyue is not afraid of being alone. In her heart, she is probably still mocking these hypocritical people. They didn’t even know each other before they came, but suddenly they become as close as brothers, which is full of hypocrisy.
Of course, Guan Jiyue didn't know that they would eventually unite because of common interests, and even become so close that they would work together to murder the evil spirit.
The situation in the barrier was very clear. Although they came together to exorcise evil spirits, they were roughly divided into four camps. First, the Yin messengers of the underworld and the Yin Marshal Niu Tou were standing together. Then, the Sanqing Taoist sect and the Jianzhao Temple had been standing together from the beginning. Not only were their team leaders chatting, but the young disciples were also gathered together to laugh. The rest were some family-inherited ghost catchers and sorcerers with no background. Not all of them were contacted by Lu Tong and Yin Miao, and many of them had received money from the developer to solve the problem.
The last camp is Guan Jiyue, who has no one around him.
Jin Banwei knew that Guan Jiyue was not afraid of being alone, but she still followed Ren Qiao's words and said, "Then let's go over and keep her company."
"Are you crazy? Guan Jiyue is a person who keeps her word. She has warned Ren Qiao not to appear in front of her. We are unlucky enough to run into her, and you still want to take the initiative to approach her. You can't use your hands now."
"Officer Shen, we are not here to cause trouble."
"That won't work! Let's get away from her!" Leng Xiangying knew very well how powerful Jin Banwei was, so she tried her best to stop her.
Because of Leng Xiangying's obstruction, Jin Banwei did not succeed in talking to Guan Jiyue. The salvation ceremony had already begun, and salvation was not something the underworld could help with, so all the underworld could do was to protect them.
Excluding Leng Xiangying, there was a total of one ghost general, three ghost messengers, and fourteen ghost envoys from the underworld this time. They stood in different positions, guarding the sorcerers who wanted to liberate the souls of the dead.
The Sanqing Taoist sect and Jianzhao Temple, which were the backbone of the salvation ceremony, each sent six people, a lineup of one old and five young. The leader of the Sanqing Taoist sect was the white-haired Li Guichu, who was the youngest disciple of Ren Qingxu, the head of the Sanqing Taoist sect, but was also over a hundred years old.
Ren Qingxu was a very long-lived person.
The leader of the team at Jianzhao Temple was a nun named Huiyin, who was younger than Li Guichu. She was the junior sister of the abbess of Jianzhao Temple. She looked to be in her fifties and still had some charm, but her actual age was much older than that.
The two of them sat opposite each other, and the others formed two arcs with them as the points, which merged into a circle. Guan Jiyue sneered and did not join them.
There were some good people among the sorcerers who were dissatisfied with Guan Jiyue's attitude and said, "Guan Jiyue, since you are here, are you just here to watch the show?"
She pulled the corners of her mouth, her tone full of indifference: "If the ghosts in the underground could be saved by simply reciting scriptures and sticking talismans, our ancestors wouldn't have to spend so much effort to suppress them. Don't you think that your abilities have surpassed those of our ancestors?"
Although Guan Jiyue was telling the truth, her words were really harsh and not everyone could accept such harsh truth.
Seeing that Guan Jiyue was about to anger everyone, the pressure from Niu Tou dissipated, and the aura belonging to Yin Shuai immediately shut up the warlock who was arguing with Guan Jiyue.
"You should get down to business first!"
After he spoke, the people from the Sanqing Taoist sect and Jianzhao Temple started to move first, and the others followed suit. At one moment, the place was filled with Buddha's light, Taoist light, and talismans flying all over the sky. Everyone used their own means to forcibly lead the souls of the dead underground to come out of the ground, but very few people could actually do it.
"Xiao Jin." His ears were filled with the sound of salvation, and the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist texts became a buzzing sound surrounding his ears. Ren Qiao covered his ears unconsciously and called Jin Banwei softly.
Her face looked a little ugly, and Jin Banwei then realized that many of the talismans in the venue were shining towards them.
There were more and more people chanting spells and using their abilities at the same time. It turned out that some of them were taking advantage of the situation and instead of saving the souls of the dead in the underworld, they were directing their hostility towards Ren Qiao. Some of them wanted to extradite Ren Qiao.
It's not even because she did evil, it's just because Ren Qiao is a ghost.
Ren Qiao has her own way to break those talismans, but once she takes action, she will inevitably interrupt others.
Fortunately, Jin Banwei came well prepared. She had prepared almost everything a second-level paper-making master could prepare in a short time. Jin Banwei took out a piece of yellow paper with a golden glow from her bag, put her palms together, exerted a little force on her palms, and the yellow paper in her palms broke into two pieces. She rubbed the yellow paper gently, and the yellow paper turned into the shape of earrings.
"Ghost Sister." Jin Banwei gestured to Ren Qiao to lower his head, and quickly put the earrings made of yellow paper on Ren Qiao.
At that moment, the buzzing sound in Ren Qiao's ears disappeared. She touched the extra earring and asked Jin Banwei in surprise: "What is this?"
"Spiritual paper transformation, paper-making master? Not bad."
A cold voice sounded, it was Guan Jiyue.
She had approached the two of them at some point and was watching Jin Banwei's skills with great interest.
Unexpectedly, they didn't look for him, but Guan Jiyue came over.
Special wicker paper will become very soft and changeable after being soaked in the paper-maker's own blood after being dyed with special dyes. In the hands of the paper-maker, it can be changed by kneading like plasticine. However, this ability is not very powerful. At most, the objects that come out have a strong yin energy and can block certain talisman attacks. However, living people almost never wear things with rich yin energy, nor will they be attacked by talismans. Therefore, although this method is basic, few paper-makers learn it.
Guan Jiyue praised her, probably because she found her rare.
"Miss Guan."
Ren Qiao took the initiative to greet her, and his gentle smile made Guan Jiyue a little dazed. She had never seen such a vengeful ghost, but the next moment her mind gradually became clear, and she was still indifferent: "I told you not to appear in front of me, or I will kill you."
Jin Banwei stood in front of Ren Qiao again: "Miss Guan, you are not going to take action now, are you?"
Guan Jiyue certainly didn't want to take action now, she could tell the priorities.
"I just want to ask you why you smell like my stupid cat."
