Chapter 46: Midyear Festival is coming
"Big sister, this festival must be very important, I also want to go to the world. Come on, big sister and big brother, hurry up and become a good soul, and take me out to find my parents when the time comes. Don't worry, this room is beautiful, and I won't run around. Luo Ya said very well-behaved.
"Luo Ya is so good, big brother and sister will definitely take you to see your parents." Ling Shiyu couldn't help but have a sour nose, her body tilted, and kissed Luo Ya on the cheek.
Ling Shiyu explained some things that Luo Ya paid attention to, and with a thought, she and Hao Jun jumped out of the tomb.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not afraid, Luo Ya is very strong! Mom and Dad, I'll be able to see you again soon. In the empty tomb, Luo Ya kept muttering to herself.
Counting from the time of the underworld, the Midyear Festival is the day after tomorrow, and Hao Jun can't help but be in a hurry. He's been busy these days, and he's almost forgotten about such a big thing.
This mid-year festival is also known as the period of the mid-year conference in the world, and it is held once a year on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.
But in Hades, it's different, it only happens once in seven years, 7749 days each time. It would take another seven years to miss it, and this festival is not unusual.
In these days of the Zhongyuan Festival in the underworld, as long as you are a good soul and pay 3,000 dark coins, you can return to the world from the yin and yang channel, and you can stay in the world for seven days. In addition to the three-fold discount on the cost of going to the world, all the things in the ghost town are also bought and sent, such as the grilled skewers that Ling Shiyu has always been thinking about, buy five skewers and get two skewers...
Usually, when it is not the Midyear Festival, if any ghost wants to go to the human world, in addition to the condition of the soul, he must also pay a high fee of 10,000 dead coins before he can go to the human world, and he can stay for seven days at most.
If you do not return to the underworld after seven days and do not get the nourishment of yin qi, your ghost body will collapse, your soul will be annihilated, and you will leave this world completely. This is not due to the lack of ghost energy, but under the radiation of the scorching sun in the sun, the ghost's skin will be very fragile, and seven days is almost the limit of the soul, just return to the underworld for a while to return to the underworld to return to normal.
There are not many ghosts that usually wander in the yang world, and most of them go out to catch newborn ghosts. The newborn ghosts formed when a person has just died can be captured back to the underworld in exchange for contribution points.
The most important thing is that during the Zhongyuan Conference, as long as you apply to go to the ghosts of the world, you can go back and forth in the yin and yang worlds as many times as you like, this preferential policy is usually unimaginable, it is simply 'Mom no longer has to worry about the number of times I go back and forth. ’
After you usually pay the fee, no matter whether your seven days in the world are full or not, after returning to the underworld, if you want to go out, you have to pay 10,000 yuan again, in comparison, the usual fee is so high and terrifying.
Therefore, the Midyear Festival is the most anticipated festival for the ghosts of the underworld.
Why do you want to go to the yang world to catch ghosts, this has to start with the depression of the underworld. Since mankind has vigorously developed education, knowledge in all aspects has been increasing, medical care and living standards have been improving day by day, science and technology have been progressing, the country has been stable and peaceful, and the people have lived a healthy life, and the life span of human beings has gradually extended a lot.
In this way, the number of ghosts in the underworld began to decline, and there were no new ghosts to replenish them, not to mention the decrease in the labor force in the underworld, and various incomes began to show a decreasing trend. No one dies means that there is no one in the yang world to burn money to pay tribute to the souls of the dead, and in the past, a lot of financial income in the underworld came from a large amount of money burned in the human world.
The ghost towns in the underworld, for the financial income of their ghost towns, have launched methods to catch ghosts in exchange for contribution points. If a person dies and does not catch his ghost in the ghost town as soon as possible, his ghost may be completely destroyed in the yang world. And if the mages or Taoist priests in the world are allowed to come to the underworld after the excess, then most of the money burned by the ghost's relatives in the world will need to be handed over to the Ministry of Finance of the underworld, instead of the ghost town owning all the income, and it is very likely to be overtaken to other ghost towns, so that the local ghost town will not be able to catch a single hair.
However, the newborn ghost that the ghost town took the initiative to capture is different, all the income of this ghost from the yang world will belong to the ghost town itself, and this ghost will also work and live in the ghost town to bring benefits to the ghost town.
The reincarnation of a ghost needs to meet the restrictions of Hades coins, contribution points, and soul body level, the purpose of which is to delay the reincarnation time of the ghost and allow the ghost to increase his income for the ghost town where he is located.
Ghost towns do this, and they don't have to worry about fertility problems in the world. Because everything in the world can produce fetal gas, these fetal gases will be slowly absorbed by humans unconsciously, and when the time is ripe, they will give birth to fetuses, so not all newborn babies in the world are reincarnated by ghosts.
There are also restrictions on the communication between the underworld and the yang, and the ghosts of the underworld cannot go to the yang world through the yin and yang channel, and the higher the level of the soul, the more difficult it is to pass through such a channel safely, and will be destroyed by the laws of heaven and earth. Similarly, the heavenly realm and the human world are also bound by the laws of heaven and earth, only ordinary scattered immortals can safely pass through the passage, and the stronger the immortal body, the more it cannot pass.
In addition, because the underworld and the heavenly realm are dependent on human beings for survival. Immortals were also promoted mainly from humans to immortals. As for the immortal qi of the heavenly realm, some of it will be generated by heaven and earth, and a large part of it is human beings who burn incense and offer candles, pray and pray and so on.
Therefore, the heavenly realm and the underworld are dependent on the human world for survival, and they are indispensable to each other.
For the sake of long-term development, the heavenly realm and the underworld also have a clear agreement that they cannot deliberately cause large-scale human deaths in the human world. Because tens of thousands of years ago, the underworld caused large-scale human deaths for the prosperity of the underworld, and the number of people in the yang world was scarce for countless years, almost making human beings collapse from then on.
In doing so, the underworld is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs, but it has caused the underworld and the heavenly world to be depressed for countless years. The Celestial Realm also fought a big battle with the Underworld because of this incident. From then on, a covenant was made not to interfere with the survival of mankind and to allow mankind to develop freely.
Hao Jun and Ling Shiyu came to the outside of the tomb and went to the wilderness north of the city to start the devouring journey. They don't kill anyone they meet, but they look for the demons.
"Hao Jun, there seems to be movement ahead!" Ling Shiyu said softly.
"Well, let's see." Hao Jun suddenly came to his senses, and it was still difficult for him and Ling Shiyu to be promoted to the Superior Soul before the Midyear Festival. If possible, Hao Jun hopes to take his mother to the yang world as well.
They walked lightly and slowly towards the place where the incident occurred, and there was a faint sound of bang, and after a while, Hao Jun and Ling Shiyu quietly lay next to a grave, taking advantage of the cover of the moonlit night, quietly observing the situation.
I saw two ghosts in front of me, a middle-aged male ghost in his fifties, not tall and relatively fat, and the good soul was at the end of his life. Another young woman ghost in her thirties, with a slender figure and a very charming dress, is only in the early stage of a good soul.
When the ghost reaches the underworld, the age does not change much, how old he is before he dies, he will always be how old he is, but the strength of the soul body and the storage of ghost qi can continue to increase.
They both had sticks in their hands and banged on a mound.
The middle-aged male ghost scolded and scolded: "You dead old woman, let you go to the ghost town to apply for a change of place for your broken grave, you want to block in front of Lao Tzu's luxurious cemetery, which will affect Lao Tzu's mood." ”
The female ghost also said: "It's just that it's too ugly, this old poor ghost really deserves to die." ”
The two ghosts scolded the mound of the mound while beating, and they didn't know what kind of ghost was in the mound, they never appeared, and the words on the tombstone couldn't be seen clearly in the night.
Next door to the simple earthen tomb, there is indeed a luxurious marble tomb, which occupies a circle of nearly 40 square meters, which is very magnificent.
Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the tombstone of the simple mound, and his left hand clenched the tombstone tightly, ready to flee into the tomb at any time.
She pleaded: "You two are good, just let me go to the poor old woman, I have promised you to go to the ghost town to apply for a change of place, but you will not give me a penny, how can I, an old woman who is going to die, get the high application fee of 20,000 yuan!" ”
This is a short old lady who is only about 1.5 meters tall, about 70 years old, dressed in cyan clothes, with a big dark character on her chest, which is only in the initial stage of good characters.
