Chapter 292: You Can Get Incense Like This? (4,000 words)

Although so far Su Bai didn't know much about the principle of this Yin Luo Vine being able to block these black shadow monsters, he only needed these to be useful now.

Letting the goblis patrol the area so as not to disturb him, he grabbed the seeds he had gotten from the Heara Society and began to sprinkle them along the edges.

Whenever a seed comes into contact with the soil, it will quickly absorb the surrounding yin qi and begin to take root and sprout, and soon grow stalks and leaves, just like a newborn baby, greedily sucking the "breast milk" around it.

The yin qi is almost squeezed into the seedlings from all sides in a spiral-like whirlwind shape, and they are like bottomless pits, unceremoniously accepting them all, only to see them in but not out, all of them are transformed into their own nourishment and grow rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it has developed from the original seed to a mature form!

Even the first few trees that were planted have grown young flower bones and are preparing for blooming.

After the seeds were sprinkled too much, the originally dense yin qi fog around them began to slowly become thinner, and they gradually became able to see the general appearance from the original fingers that could not be seen.

Of course, the most important thing is that after these vines take root and sprout, they form a closed city wall, dividing this area into two unconnected areas inside and outside, forming a safe zone.

Originally, the black shadow monsters in the outside world who were still rushing towards this side after sensing the sound here all slowed down in unison.

It was as if they had sensed something, especially when the seeds of the Yin Luo vine gradually grew and matured, they completely stopped, and even some of the ones with poor resistance had begun to slowly move away from this side.

The image is a little bit understood, probably like a zombie that smells garlic in Plants vs. Zombies.

Even if there are a few who don't give up, they just hobbled around the outer circle, and don't forget to keep a certain distance, as if they want to find some kind of hole to get into.

It seems that although these things do not have the wisdom of humans, they still have the intuition of preying like wild beasts.

Of course, Su Bai didn't give them a chance to sneak in, but let Su Yun and the baby monster kill all the black shadows who dared to get too close, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.

By the time it was finally finished, all the seeds in my hand had been used up.

In the end, there were even a few gaps that were too big, and after thinking about it, Su Bai casually dug up a few Yin Luo vines that were originally planted on both sides of the road and transplanted them here.

Anyway, there are ghosts and other yin gods on these roads who often walk, and there is basically no danger.

And after everything was completed, Su Bai looked at the yin qi around him that had thinned to the point where it did not affect his vision at all, and nodded with satisfaction.

"In the future, this area will be planned as a ghost town for the activities of innocent ghosts, although the scope is a little smaller for the time being, but it can continue to expand in the future."

With a circular area of one kilometer in diameter, after removing the Chenghuang Mansion in the center of the circle, it should be enough to squeeze the remaining area.

In addition, looking at this empty and barren area, he thought for a while, then turned his head and instructed a ghost pawn at hand: "Go and see if there are any designers or ghosts who know municipal planning and the like." ”

"Hmm, this kind of talent should be regarded as an introduction of talents, you can consider giving them preferential treatment, although it may not be able to give the position of the Yin God, but it can still make them live a little better in the underworld."

He also has to think about these modern talents.

After all, it is now a high-tech era, and it is impossible for the mortal world to develop all kinds of information flows, and the dungeon still follows the old routine, and even the oldest books that record ghost information have to be handwritten.

If this is spread out, he himself will look down on this kind of old antique.

Since he himself is rebuilding from scratch, it is better to directly engage in something modern.

Maybe you can even get a computer in the dungeon or something.

By the way, there is also the auto repair shop mentioned earlier, and it is not bad to engage in transportation construction in the prefecture.

And these also require a lot of talent and incense, the most important thing is the latter one.

He already had a rough idea in his head, and he was ready to wait for the follow-up preparations.

However, when he went back, he unintentionally caught a glimpse of Ge Ningjian's hesitant look, as if he had something to say.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hesitate."

Ge Ningjian nodded, and finally mustered up the courage to ask his question.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, why do you care so much about the dwelling of these ghosts? After all, sooner or later, they will be sent to reincarnation, and it doesn't matter how well they live here, and there is no need to waste our limited resources to build this so-called ghost town. ”

He had heard Su Bai mention it before, and he roughly knew that a lot of resources were currently consumed in the reconstruction of the underworld, and incense was one of them.

Nowadays, when incense is limited, it is really not clear to get these foreign objects.

Su Bai was not surprised, but just smiled and said, "What you said does make sense, but this is just understood from your point of view." ”

"Do you think that if mortals know that their loved ones will live in the underworld after death, do you think they will want their loved ones to live comfortably and enjoy life here, or will they be held casually, even like prisoners, as you say?"

"This ......"

Ge Ningjian frowned and pondered for a while, vaguely as if he understood a little, but he still couldn't fully understand the deep meaning, so he could only follow this line of thought to understand.

"If I were a relative of those who died, I would want their souls to be happy rather than suffer even after death."

He thought of his father, what he would have done if he had been in that situation, and when he sensed the deep feelings in his heart, he couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

After all, that's human nature.

As he said before, it was too utilitarian and didn't see these ghosts as people with emotions and needs.

Looking back on it now, I really shouldn't have been, and I can't help but feel ashamed.

Su Bai also nodded and sighed.

"yes, so I took that into account as well. Once we really implement the rules of the first seven, let those ghosts go home to see, and let mortals know about the existence of ghosts, this kind of hope that important people can live better in the underworld will definitely appear on a large scale. ”

"Then it's our chance to earn incense!"

This can probably be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, each taking what he needs.

"I see!" Ge Ningjian nodded suddenly, but immediately became a little puzzled, "But my lord, how can we harvest their incense in this way?" ”

Let everyone go to the City God Temple to worship incense?

Yes, but overall it's not very efficient.

And this act of offering incense and praying is also difficult to control. For example, how to measure the degree of praying for one's relatives to have a better life below? How good is good, how good?

Moreover, these incense sticks can only be accepted by Su Bai alone, which means that he has to stay by the statue twenty-four hours a day to absorb the incense and fulfill those insignificant wishes of mortals by the way?

It's simply not realistic!

This kind of trivial thing should not be his turn to make a move.

Ge Ningjian was a little worried that Su Bai might not be busy in the future, resulting in all the efforts he had made in the early stage being in vain.

Fortunately, Su Bai already had a rough idea.

He smiled, "Do you remember the paper tie I bought in the mortal world to remodel that car?" ”

"Of course I do." Ge Ningjian nodded.

He had also observed the process of repairing the car of the two ghosts before, and knew a little about it.

Immediately, he realized something, and his expression changed.

"What do you mean ......"

"Well, I have already discovered in previous experiments that it is useless to burn paper directly, and it must contain incense before it can be received."

The corners of Su Bai's mouth hooked slightly, and he said slowly: "In other words, if they want their relatives to enjoy those good things, they must sincerely light the incense before they can send the paper over." ”

"And these incense sticks can be used by us too!"

In other words, it doesn't matter if they don't come to give incense to the city god, he can use tricks to get enough incense.

Ge Ningjian suddenly realized, and then he understood the reason why Su Bai had to spend his efforts to build this ghost town.

"It's worthy of an adult, it's really far-sighted!" He said with sincere admiration, looking at the barren land in front of him, he was still a little surprised that this place might become the main source of incense in the future.

"Okay, don't say anything about sycophants." Su Bai said, "The construction here has just begun, and there are still a lot of things to do, so we have to arrange it as soon as possible." ”

It's easy to say, but it takes a lot of thought to make it happen.

And if the paper contains incense after it is burned, how to extract some of it for your own use is also a problem.

In the end, after discussing with the Yin Gods, he came to a provisional conclusion.

Establish a unified post office!

That is, all the things burned in the mortal world have to pass through this underground post office, and in return, he will take a part of the incense as postage.

To do this, he also needed to recruit another group of people to start building the first post office in the prefecture.

Fortunately, there is no need for much preparation in this regard, and even the house can be temporarily borrowed from the interior of the City God Temple.

The postmen don't need much power, and they only need to let the ordinary ghosts work part-time at first.

In the same way, these ghosts to be selected must also be honest people with no record of committing adultery.

After everything was almost ready, Su Bai officially nodded and planned to start the first batch of experiments......

……

Old man Liu has been dead for several days, and he hasn't counted the specific time, anyway, he has been in a mess since he died.

I only remember that I was arrested by a strangely dressed man just after I died, and after passing through a thick white fog, I came to a deserted place, and then I ......

Only then did he know that there really was an underworld in the world!

I've seen too many terrible things here, and I've seen a ghost that has been cut in two and is still wailing, but I can't run far before I was caught in a big hall by a cold-faced ghost.

Soon after, there was a burst of even more terrifying screams, which made him feel creepy.

He learned from the ghost pawn who led the way that it was a place to punish those who had done evil in his life, and all great crimes and evils would be punished accordingly, and there would never be a chance to escape.

He was so frightened that his legs were trembling, racking his brain trying to remember what he had done wrong in his life, and he was so terrified that he didn't know what kind of punishment he would receive.

Fortunately, after review, it was found that he was quite honest before his death, and he did not make any major mistakes, even if there were some small mistakes, he would not be sent to hell to be punished, and he was spared some flesh and skin suffering.

He doesn't remember much about what happened next.

I only remember that I seemed to be locked in a dark and narrow place, where I fell into a deep sleep, and I had no sense of the changes of time and space.

I have absolutely no idea how much time has passed.

It wasn't until he somehow woke up that he realized that he seemed to have been released from that strange place.

He rubbed his eyes, and at a glance he saw several people standing in front of him in uniform clothes and with serious and majestic faces.

Soon recognized it, and it was clearly the ghosts and ghosts who led him to the underworld in the first place.

At that time, there was only one, but there were five in front of him, which made him startled for a moment, and looked away with some fear, only to find that it was not only he who was released, but there were already more than a dozen ghosts of men, women and children standing around him one after another.

At a glance, they are almost the same as themselves, in a translucent state, and their faces are full of confusion and fear.

"This ...... What is this for? ”

He was a little apprehensive, but he also knew that this was not something he could resist, just looking at those ghosts was already oppressed by the momentum and it was difficult to breathe, so he could only stand here and let it fall.

And as time passes, the number of ghosts around me is still increasing one by one.

I saw that those ghost pawns were holding a book in their hands, and while picking up a tablet, they shook it casually, and a ghost like him was thrown out and fell to the ground.

Once you've made sure it's correct, you draw a tick on the book and move on to the next one.

Suddenly, the old man Liu, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look, heard the ghost in front of him say: "Okay, this batch of twenty ghosts is enough, hurry up and transport it over and prepare for the next batch of ......."

Soon after the words fell, he heard a ghost clapping his hands in front of him, and the attention of the ghosts present was drawn to him.

"Okay, have you woken up? Come with me, if you fall behind and lose your qualifications, don't blame us for being ruthless! ”

After that, without waiting for them to respond, he hurried towards the outside of the main hall.

Old man Liu hurriedly followed.

He moved relatively fast, and he was the first in line, and the rest of the ghosts followed one after another.

Old man Liu glanced at the long line behind him, then looked at the unknown place in front of him, and mustered up the courage to whisper a word to the ghost pawn in front.

"My lord, I don't know where we're going?"

God forbid, don't be tortured! He prayed in his heart.

"Where?" The ghost pawn glanced back at him and smiled mysteriously, "Give you a new place to live!" ”
