Mo Chenghuang continued: "But gradually, as the great supernatural powers of each star field gradually divided their territories and determined their indoctrination, and some of them also established a Shinto religious system, they slowly came into conflict with the rewards and punishments of our underworld. Later, when the Emperor of Hades saw that there were various orders in the yang world, he withdrew most of the rewards and punishments, and this thing became a void in many star fields. In our place, in ancient times, there were also rewards and punishments to maintain order in the yang world. Later, due to various reasons, the Xuanmen disciples reached some kind of cooperation with the Yin Division, and they gave this position to you cultivators. First, because the Emperor of the Underworld no longer paid attention to the matter of rewards and punishments, and secondly, he was afraid that the cultivators would exercise the power of the Yin Division indiscriminately, so he slowly turned this into a false title. ”

When he said this, he glanced at Jiang Bo and said meaningfully: "However, I and a few city gods have the power to reward and punish a certain amount of real power!"

There is a wide official road in Hanquan Mansion that leads directly to Zhenyuan Mansion and Sui'an Mansion in the south. This road can pass through eight healthy horses at the same time, and runs through almost most of the range of the Feichong Road, which is the main road leading to the land of Datong, and there are many cars and horses and pedestrians in normal times. At this time, in the direction of Sui'an Mansion, one or two tall carriages came. The carriage was much larger than the usual one, and it was a little more delicate, with three horses drawn by horses. The driver was a sturdy man, sitting straight, not like a handlebar, but like a samurai. There were also a few black-clad knights next to the car, all of whom were well-trained soldiers. Jiang Bo was sitting cross-legged on the hardwood board at the moment, and next to him was sitting cross-legged in the same posture was a strong man with strange hairstyles and costumes, it was the fat head Tuo Huifan who had subdued demons with Jiang Bo in Fallen Dragon Town before. A little farther away, there were two people sitting on the velvet cushions chatting with them, one was Feng Baoqin, the beautiful young sword of Ying Xiangwei. Opposite her was a young man, tall and strong, although he was young and white, but he had the spirit of a martial artist. This is a young general under Su Dingxiang, named Li Tai.

Jiang Bo was chatting with everyone, playing with a small seal in the sleeve of his robe with one hand. The seal is carved from a half-black, half-white stone and is boxy, not much the size of a finger. On the black side is engraved a penalty word, and the font is as red as blood. There is also a word on the white side, but the lines are blurry and it is not clear what is originally engraved. This is the official seal that Mo Chenghuang gave him a few days ago, saying that it was the official seal of the reward and punishment envoy. Only with this thing can we truly exercise the power of rewarding the good and punishing the evil. Mo Chenghuang boasted for a long time, but Jiang Bo found out that this was a half-crippled magic weapon, and most of the functions could not be used. Mo Chenghuang was slightly embarrassed and said that this treasure was affected and damaged during the battle between the two great supernatural powers. However, it can still be used to punish the creatures who make mistakes in the two worlds of humans and ghosts, but the function of rewarding good people is not effective. Jiang Bo was speechless for a while, how can things in this world be like this, saying that punishment comes quickly, but when you want to reward, you always push back and go, even the way of heaven is like this? But this thing has a greater symbolic meaning for him, after all, with this official seal of the underworld, he feels that he seems to be a person with some status. Mo Chenghuang finished giving the seal, put away his embarrassed face and explained one thing to him seriously. asked Jiang Bo to go to Sui'an Mansion to take a trip and take back something on behalf of the underworld.

After leaving the City God Temple, Jiang Bo went home for a few days. On the one hand, it is necessary to cultivate and recuperate, and on the other hand, it is also to appease Ying'er's often frightened heart at that time. As soon as she left, it was a year and a half, and Ying'er was always worried at home. Jiang Bo knew that she was suffering, but there was no good way. He secretly often combed Ying'er's meridians with his true qi after she fell asleep, hoping to transform her body. However, it had little effect, although Ying'er's physique was much healthier, but after all, it was impossible to cultivate without spiritual roots. After all, Ying'er is a mortal fetus in the flesh, and Jiang Bo is just a small open-vein monk who can have some magical powers. Jiang Bo had no choice but to try his best to be happy with her more. After staying at home for more than ten days, he went south. Unexpectedly, after leaving the city, he met Hui Fan and others.

The monk Huifan who led the hair was originally mixed with the people of Ying Xiangwei after the incident in Daolong Town, but he did not offend Emperor Quanshun, so he often traveled down the mountain. A while ago, he returned to Guangshan and found that the house was empty, and Qiu Long and others left him a letter, saying that Jiang Bo recommended him to go to General Su Dingxiang. The monk had nothing to do, so he went to Jinzhu City to find them, and thus became acquainted with Su Dingxiang and other Yunyang Sect monks. Because Buddhism in the East High Continent is a rare thing, and they are both cultivators of each other, Hui Fan is an interesting person, and the two sides actually get along very happily. The people of the Yunyang Sect have opened up the lower courtyard in the Cold Spring Mansion very smoothly, and it has begun to take shape. However, recently, I heard that the territory of Sui'an Province is not peaceful, and there are ghosts from time to time. Su Dingxiang got the news that it was likely that someone from the Immortal Sect was making trouble. When Su Dingxiang and the others came, the Immortal Sect had disturbed him several times, so this news made him pay attention. A senior of the Yunyang Sect analyzed that the Immortal Sect either wanted to entangle with the Yunyang Sect to the end, or they had a plot in the Northland, and the sudden appearance of the Yunyang Sect might affect them. So Su Dingxiang decided to send someone to find out, in order not to startle the snake, he sent Li Tai with a few relatives to find out the news. And after Feng Baoqin happened to know the news, she also asked to go with her, she wanted to find out if there were any scattered Eagle Xiangwei companions in Sui'an Mansion. Su Dingxiang also agreed, and Hui Fan was immediately interested when he heard that ghosts were rampant. So they went together, but they didn't expect to meet Jiang Bo halfway, Jiang Bo and several people were more or less acquaintances, so they simply hitchhiking. It's not boring for everyone to talk and laugh along the way, just to exchange some news. They traveled all the way, and soon left Hanquan Mansion, passed through Zhenyuan Mansion, and came to Huang County, which is at the junction of Zhenyuan and Sui'an. When the day was handed over, a knight approached the carriage and asked Li Tai whether he had entered the county seat of Huangxian County and whether to settle down and rest first. Li Tai was a native of Feichong Road, and worked as a general under the general Ge Youcai of Zhenlu for several years. He was very familiar with the geography and terroir of Feichong Road, and he knew that there were mountains for dozens of miles ahead, and there were no villages and towns, so he nodded and agreed after looking at the time. The accompanying guards found the inn, and everyone divided their rooms to stay. During dinner, the words of several locals at the next table attracted the attention of Jiang Bo and others.

Two tables away from them sat three diners, dressed like they were doing business. One of them, a well-dressed round-faced man, said mysteriously to his two companions, "Do you know that the murderous female ghost has reappeared!"

The two diners at the same table looked shocked, and one asked, "Didn't that filthy thing be destroyed by a high Taoist? Why did it reappear? Who did you listen to?"

The round-faced man sighed and said, "Boss Luo, who often comes to my store to sell medicinal herbs, you have an impression." The day before yesterday, he was quarrying dendrobium on the cliff of Luo Ming Mountain outside the city, and met the female ghost. was directly sucked yang energy, and the person was hung on a rope and died. His son Luo Xiaoerzi gave his father wind on the edge of the cliff and saw it with his own eyes. This kid was clever, and he hid in the shadow of the tree at the time and didn't dare to make a sound, so he was not discovered. When the female ghost was gone, he dragged back his body and escaped. Listening to him, his father's body, hair and eyebrows have all turned white, and the person seems to have lost a lot of weight, and the weight is lighter. ”

The other snorted and said, "Isn't that the same as seven years?"

The round-faced man said: "No! I heard that when the Taoist chief of Shangyang Temple ambushed the female ghost, he did not destroy her soul, but suppressed it." Now it may be that he can't hold that thing and let him out. At that time, I remembered that he had put that thing in the back mountain of Luo Ming Mountain. We'll have to be careful in the future and stay away from that area. ”

Although the speaker's voice was not loud, he was not close to Jiang Bo. But most of these people are deaf and clear-sighted, and they can hear it really. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Jiang Bo frowned when he heard this, judging from the situation described by the man, I am afraid that it is a resentful spirit, and it may be a guy who has been around for a few years, and it is a bit of a climate. Shangyang Guan is the lower courtyard branch of Shandeguan in Feichong Road, it seems that a few years ago, this thing came out to hurt people and was restrained by the Shande Guan monks, but why not completely extinguish it? Monk Huifan also raised his ears, listened very seriously, and seemed to be very interested. Feng Baoqin also heard it, and she looked at Jiang Bo, as if she wanted to ask for his opinion. But Jiang Bo didn't say anything, and only continued to listen to the other party's continued conversation. Li Tai also listened to it, but he was not very interested in these ghosts and gods. And he is not Su Dingxiang's henchman, so he doesn't know that his own governor is the identity of a disciple of the Daomen, only that he has recruited some strange people. Jiang Bo didn't say anything, and after eating, he walked around and went back to the house to rest. Feng Baoqin wanted to be nosy, but she had calmed down a lot over the years, and seeing that Jiang Bo didn't say anything, she didn't say anything. When it was time to set the watch, Jiang Bo came out of the meditation and pushed the door out of the house. saw that Hui Fan had already packed up his body and was standing in the corridor looking at his door. Seeing Jiang Bo come out, he asked with a smile: "Go?"

Jiang Bo smiled back: "Let's go." ”

The monk didn't talk nonsense, and the two of them showed their own tricks and left the inn silently. Hui Fan followed Jiang Bo all the way down to the southwest, through the streets and alleys, and finally climbed over the city wall and went out of the city. The monk asked in confusion: "Jiang Daoyou, could it be that you already know the whereabouts of that ghost thing?"

Jiang Bo said: "I don't know the specific location, but I know to ask someone." Earlier, during the meal, I left a shadow ghost on the herb merchant and followed him home. Listen to them say that the old man's body was mortuary at home and mourned. I'd like to go to that house first. ”

The monk nodded and said, "Judging from what they said, it may be a resentful spirit." It may have been a few years, but such a hungry person came out to plunder the yang energy. The appearance is too ugly, and the means are too shoddy. ”
