Chapter 74: The fate of the underworld, the devil escapes, and the sword fairy investigates
??Cold water.
Xie Yunan parked the car at the foot of the mountain. The cool night breeze blew. The rice fields had been harvested and the fields were empty. With her extraordinary five senses, she could clearly see the figures of mice and insects, as well as the ghost soldiers standing beside her.
??Two ghost soldiers, one on the left and one on the right, with burly bodies nearly two meters tall, stood quietly on her left and right sides.
??According to records in ancient books, in theory, ghost soldiers are also the reincarnations of meritorious people after their death. In modern context, they are martyrs or people who died while saving others.
??At the request of his superiors, Xie Yunan also asked Li Yi: Are these ghost soldiers conscious?
??The answer is yes, but not much.
??Affected by the environment, it is difficult for ghosts and monsters to be born naturally. Now, people with merit can become ghost soldiers and continue to protect a region after death. However, due to the lack of the city god, there is no city god to guide them, so the ghost soldiers are just puppets.
??As for their strength?
??The underworld was born from the people, enjoying the incense and protecting the people, and there is no realm. If we really want to give a standard, then the city god of a city with a population of one million has the power of the foundation-building stage. A city with a population of tens of millions is in the Jindan stage, and a special position like the city god of Yingtianfu in the imperial capital (uncanonized) is in the Yuanying stage.
??The specific combat power still needs to be known through actual combat, but it will not be too different.
??And this is only the incense offerings of the current period. With the guidance of the government and increasingly frequent supernatural events, it can be predicted that the incense offerings to the City God will become more and more prosperous, and there will be no problem in having a City God who becomes a deity in the future.
??During the most prosperous period of the secular dynasties of mankind, there were city gods in the deity transformation stage, but unfortunately they fell into decline with the change of dynasties.
??From this, Xie Yunan learned that the City God was very powerful. Relying on the people, he was almost immortal, but his limitations were also great. To put it in one sentence, there is a difference between yin and yang, and only care about the afterlife, not the life.
??Even if a person has committed the most heinous crimes, the City God will wait until he dies before arresting and punishing him.
??The government has long known about this from some ancient books. The underworld itself is not a particularly secret existence. On the contrary, it can be seen everywhere. The rules of the difference between yin and yang can be said to be mixed. The worry is that so much combat power can only be used in special circumstances, and the joy is that the underworld will not interfere with reality.
??Of course, it is not ruled out that there are still people who are obsessed with this and want to control the underworld.
"He holds power during his lifetime and wants to hold power after his death. How greedy."
??Xie Yunan looked at the two mighty ghost soldiers and could feel that they had a vague connection with him, or perhaps it was his illusion.
??Suddenly, she had an idea, and the ghost soldier in front of her took a step forward.
??Really! ?
After Xie Yunan had been canonized several times, she actually had this subtle feeling, but it was just her own illusion at the beginning. How could she, a mere Qi Refining Stage who had no connection with the underworld, command the underworld soldiers?
??If there is any connection, it is probably that during this period he served Li Yi, drove to various city god temples, prepared yellow paper for drawing talismans, and finally watched.
??Just here to watch the show.
??But as more and more City Gods were enthroned, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Can you drive him?"
??A calm voice came from behind. Xie Yunan turned his head suddenly and saw a Taoist walking in the moonlight.
"I'm very sorry, I just wanted to try it, I didn't think much about it..." Xie Yunan quickly lowered his head, a little panic appeared on his expressionless face.
"The underworld is not my private property. It is your ability to control it."
Li Yi waved his hands, not caring that the other party could command the ghost soldiers. Although he could theoretically command all the city gods in the world because of his canonization, he did not regard the underworld as his own property.
??The underworld is a concrete manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. It was born among all people and belongs to all people.
??However, it was a bit beyond his expectation that Xie Yunan could also command the ghost soldiers.
??After observing for a moment, Li Yi understood the reason.
??Xie Yunan had a touch of underworld luck on him, which should have been acquired when he was canonized. Now that there is no heavenly law to suppress him, many laws are floating between heaven and earth, and it is easy for them to fall on something.
??For example, the writing brush that you have conferred upon yourself, with the gathering of the luck from the underworld, the writing brush that originally cost only a few dozen yuan has become a magical instrument, and may have a chance to become a treasure in the future.
??And Xie Yunan had always been by his side, busying around, and perhaps he was also considered to have made contributions. Although he did not receive auspicious clouds of merit, he also received recognition from the underworld.
??Li Yi asked: "Are you interested in working in the underworld?"
??“!!!” Xie Yunan’s eyes widened and he subconsciously took a half step back. “Sir, I haven’t lived enough.”
"Not really." Li Yi explained, "The underworld has recognized your contribution this time, and you should be able to serve in the underworld after you die. If you are about to die in the future, you can come to me, and then I can give you a great opportunity."
??“…”Xie Yunan was speechless. Although he was very happy to have such a great opportunity, what you said was somewhat unlucky.
??But when I think about it, it seems that there is no problem.
Xie Yunan understood her own qualifications. Whether she could build a foundation depended on the richness of spiritual energy in the future. She was afraid that she had no hope of achieving the golden elixir. Compared with the person in front of her, her life span might only be a blink of an eye.
??Li Yi continued: "How do you feel about the location of Yingtian Prefecture?"
"This... is not something I can spy on." Xie Yunan shook her head repeatedly, her face turning pale with fear. Her usual indifference seemed to be ineffective here, and she couldn't control her emotions at all.
