Chapter 32: The Temple of the City God

Ding Jiu had eight or nine stitches on the back of his head.

The next day after he was hospitalized, the teacher who led the team came to visit him, and gave him serious criticism and education for his reckless mountain climbing, but the criticism was so critical that he still helped Ding Jiu ask for a few more days off from the criminal police brigade.

The ward was not allowed to be idle during the day, and people came one after another, people from the Political Department of the Xingcheng City Public Security Bureau, Master Hu Mengxiang of the Criminal Police Brigade, and the squadron leader of their student department.

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, he was finally cleaned, and Ding Jiu was the only one left in the ward.

Ding Jiu, who was lying on the hospital bed, raised his hand and looked at his palm, thinking about the majestic information that appeared in his mind yesterday.

After a while, he suddenly hooked his fingers.

A chain burst out of his lower abdomen, and the two sections of the chain were spiked, hovering in the air, and at the same time, wisps of black mist began to appear around Ding Jiu's body.

Black Yin Qi - this is the name of this black mist.

Just as humans need to breathe oxygen to sustain their lives, ghosts need to breathe yin energy to keep their souls stable.

There are too many impurities in the air in the yang world, and the key is that the yang energy is contained in it, and the ghost breathes the yang air for a long time like breathing haze, although it can still live, but it will have irreversible damage to the soul body after a long time, so that it will finally disappear.

And the black yin qi is actually the air of the underworld, which is the purest yin qi that only exists in the underworld, without a trace of impurities.

Ghosts will not be eroded by yang energy in the black yin energy, and if they are not reincarnated, they can theoretically survive in the underworld forever.

In the same way, black yin qi also plays a great role in yin.

When people in the underworld enter the yang world, they will inevitably refuse to accept the water and soil, and their strength in the yang world will be greatly discounted.

Therefore, when the yin cha is working in the yang world, it will use the soul hook rope as the medium to communicate with the underworld, bringing black yin energy, artificially creating an environment in the underworld, and in the environment full of black yin qi, the strength of the yin difference can be nearly 100% exerted.

And the range and concentration of this black yin qi are linked to the strength of the yin difference itself, the stronger the strength, the greater the range of black yin qi, it is said that some great powers once relied on black yin qi in the yang world to temporarily create a small underworld!

Ding Jiu's thoughts drifted back to the black mist covering the sky and the sun on the back mountain, and he had a clearer understanding of the strength of the black-robed man.

Just thinking about it, Ding Jiu felt that the wound on the back of his head was a little itchy.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, this time the recovery ability was also tested, and it was indeed strengthened a lot.

Ding Jiu finally knew that the severe pain he endured at the moment when the ghost hooked the soul rope into his body was that the black yin qi carried by the chain was changing his physique, so that Ding Jiu's body could withstand the activities of the soul hook rope without collapsing.

Therefore, his current physical fitness is now stronger than ordinary people in every aspect.

But he can't compare to ordinary people now.

Ding Jiu looked at his watch, it was already quite quiet outside the ward at 9 o'clock in the evening, only the sound of the TV program coming from the next room.

He lifted the quilt, arched it into a bulge, and pretended that he was still in bed.

Then he changed his hospital gown and sneaked out of the ward.

Ding Jiu directly bought a high-speed rail ticket to Yuhang City, which was not long, and it took 37 minutes to arrive.

After getting off the high-speed rail, he took a taxi directly and said to the master: "Go to the City God Temple at No. 23 Xingping Road." ”

…………

The City God Temple has an eight-character comment in Taoism - "cut off the fierce rebellion, and lead the soul of the dead".

These eight words are obviously the task of the Yin Difference, and Ding Jiu also knew that the City God Temple that existed everywhere was actually the stronghold of the Yang Ghost Envoy.

Huaxia is divided into provinces to facilitate management, and similarly, the Yang Ghost Envoy Division is also demarcated and ruled, Huaxia has 34 provinces, and the Yang Ghost Envoy Division has 34 domains, and the domain boundary is basically the same as the provincial boundary.

Thirty-four provinces, thirty-four domains, and thirty-four hereditary Yin families.

The statue of the god enshrined in the City God Temple is the first Yin Cha of the hereditary Yin Cha family in the domain.

This is also the most important benefit that Yin Bad status brings to people.

After the death of ordinary people, only descendants come to sacrifice incense, and even if it is a well-known good person, the third generation of the gentleman will be beheaded, and the people who come to mourn will not exceed a hundred years.

Only national heroes or people who have been canonized as gods, such as Qu Yuan, the doctor of Chu and Li Jing, the king of Tota, can enjoy the incense endlessly and enjoy it forever.

The role of incense is huge, if the incense is prosperous, then not only can it bless future generations, the key is that the person who is sacrificed may be promoted to the immortal god because of this, and from then on get rid of the suffering of the six reincarnations.

But there are very few people who can do this, and the Ghost Envoy of the Sun provides a quick way-

Signing a covenant becomes a sign of the underworld, and from here to come from generation to generation there will be work for Hades.

This is also known as hereditary yin.

The person who signed the hereditary Yin Bad Contract will be enshrined in the City God Temple, and will be worshiped in the name of the City God, and each generation from him will take over the responsibility of Yin Cha, responsible for catching evil spirits, arresting those who violate the rules of the underworld, and maintaining the stability of a domain.

Ding Jiu is also a hereditary Yin Poor family, but not any of the thirty-four.

The Ding family was the first person to serve as a yin chaser, and it was his ancestor Ding Jing.

Ding Jing, born in the 34th year of the Qing Dynasty Shengzu Kangxi, died in the 30th year of Gaozong Qianlong, is fond of gold and stone writing, good at painting, especially fine seal carving, self-pleasure in cloth clothes, and selling wine in the market.

For the first ancestor who signed a contract with the underworld, Ding Jiu only had these impressions in his mind.

Their Ding family is different from the hereditary Yin Clan enshrined in the City God Temple, they are directly under the command of the ghost official, and they do not need to guard a fixed area, and the execution of tasks is all based on the command of the ghost official.

There are several other families in the same family as their Ding family, and these first Yin Cha who signed the contract still need to enter the six realms of reincarnation after his death, and he does not have the opportunity to enjoy the incense sacrifice.

But the reason why they are still willing to sign to become a hereditary Yin Errand family is-

can have the qualifications to get out of the yin and be promoted to a ghost official.

Ding Jiu didn't know why just one qualification could make so many people willing to tie all their descendants to the underworld, anyway, since his ancestor Ding Jing, no one has successfully promoted to a ghost official.

The City God Temple in Yuhang City is in the middle of the city, and it is still full of people at nearly ten o'clock in the evening.

Ding Jiu got out of the car and couldn't help smacking his lips when he looked at the quaint City God Temple in front of him.

The temple has also been developed as one of the tourist attractions by the government, and it is hard to imagine that the temple is the site of the Ghost Envoy of the Yang Dynasty.

He also walked into it with the crowd, and the interior of the Chenghuang Temple was similar to an ordinary temple, with statues and shrines, and the smell of incense.

Ding Jiu walked past the statue and the worshipping crowd and continued to walk inside.

It seems that this city god temple is divided into two halls, the front hall is used as a scenic spot, the crowd is busy coming, the apse is quiet.

There is a shadow wall between the front and back halls, and behind the shadow wall is a few stone steps, and above the stone steps is a red lacquered door, and a note is pasted saying that visitors are not allowed to enter.

Ding Jiu stepped forward and knocked the beast head ring on the door.

After a while, a voice inside replied, "This place is not open to the public, please go back." ”

Ding Jiu still locked the door, and his voice was short and powerful.

The red lacquer door opened, and a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe looked out with a frown.

Ding Jiu raised the netherworld token in his hand.

The middle-aged man saw the words "Yang Ghost Envoy" written on the token with a big seal, his expression was solemn, he opened the door, and invited Ding Jiu to enter.
