Chapter 222: Tranquility City

Zhong Kui said: "My lord, these four people, during their lifetime, accumulated virtue and good deeds, were honest and honest, benefited one party, made decisions for the people, and did a lot of good things, the people are grateful to them, they have built temples for them, four o'clock sacrifices, incense is continuous, their souls absorb the power of faith, the soul is condensed, and they have all survived, which used to be left in the major ghost domains on the earth, and now they are in the city we built ourselves, enjoying a peaceful life." ”

When Chen Jianghong heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Let's go, let's go visit them." ”

More than 20 years ago, before Chen Jianghong retreated and cultivated, he let Zhong Kui lead the ghosts to sweep the major ghost domains in Shenzhou, and all the evil ghosts who did a lot of evil were punished as they deserved, and the ghosts who accumulated virtue and did good deeds were brought back to the newly built city in the underworld.

Because the six realms of reincarnation have not been opened, they cannot be reincarnated, and can only live here temporarily.

More than 20 years have passed, and a vast city covering an area of 1,000 acres has been built around the original prefecture and county government, and millions of ghosts live in it, which is very lively.

This city called 'Guining City', there are nine vertical, nine horizontal and eighteen main streets, and there are many shops on both sides of the street, these shops are very distinctive, there are pawnshops, there are those who sell calligraphy and paintings, there are those who sell snacks, there are those who sell jewelry, there are theaters, there are also banks opened by the government and county government, there are all walks of life in the world, and even the slave market that is not in the world, and the attic that sells low-level ghost cultivation exercises, there are also several places here.

The ghosts walking on the street are dressed in strange clothes, including scholars in ancient robes, modern white-collar elites in suits and leather shoes, oily hair and powdered faces, and young ghosts cosplaying into anime characters.

The streets and alleys are full of people, and there are many hawkers who walk through the streets and alleys, enthusiastically hawking.

A tall and thin man carrying a large stick made of withered grass and many red sugar gourds on top of it shouted, "Sell rock sugar gourds! ”

A fat man carrying two large barrels shouted: "Selling authentic tofu brains in Xiaoyao Town, it's definitely the taste of life." ”

"Cooking cakes, Wu Dalang cooking cakes, the portion is enough and cheap. Wu Dalang, who was of low stature, came from a distance with a large stack of cooking cakes.

These ingredients sold in the streets and alleys are all made by using incense and wishing power through a special method, and ghosts can not only condense the soul body, but more importantly, they can taste the taste of life, so they are very popular with ghosts.

Where people exist, there are some social hierarchies, the gap between the rich and the poor, among the millions of ghosts in the city of tranquility, some of the descendants of the yang are prosperous, every Qingming Festival, Chinese New Year's Eve, or a specific time, future generations will go to incense to worship, such ghosts harvest enough faith willingness, not only can maintain the condensation of the soul, but also more faith willingness, handed over to the bank opened by the county, exchanged for silver tickets, buy daily necessities, just like living, enjoy glory and wealth.

And some of the descendants of ghosts in the yang world, may be completely dead because of war, disease and other reasons, they have lived a life in the yang world, although honest duty, never do evil, after coming to the underworld do not have to serve labor, but with their death, no one in the yang world remembers that there was such a person, they are like a flash in the pan, and then there is no trace, it seems that there has never been such a person in the world.

Such ghosts account for the majority in Anning City, after all, only a very small part of the beings in the world can really get ahead, go down in history, and their reputation is far away, most of them are just mediocre laymen who live, plus every time there is a change of dynasty, they are all miserable, and many people have never left descendants at all, and they have died like weeds.

Because there are no more people in the yang world to worship them, they naturally have no willingness to believe, which also leads them to become poor ghosts in the city of tranquility.

In order to survive, they can only take out their skills before their deaths, do some small business, earn some incense and wish power, and wait for the six reincarnations to open, reincarnate again, and become human again.

As for those ghosts who don't even have craftsmanship and want to survive, some of them directly stick a yellow grass on their heads and sell themselves as slaves to rich ghosts with strong incense willingness, hoping that their masters will give him some incense wishing power to let them live.

You must know that whether it is in the ghost domain of the yang world or in the underworld, the ghost is like a mass of energy bodies with yin and cold attributes, and it will continue to dissipate the power of yin and cold, but it is said that it will dissipate slower in the underworld than in the yang.

When the cold power of the soul body is completely dissipated, the soul body will fly away and completely disappear into heaven and earth.

And if the soul body wants to exist in the heavens and the earth for a long time, under normal circumstances, there are four ways.

One is when he is alive, he accumulates virtue and does good deeds in the world, his reputation spreads far and wide, and he is worshiped by hundreds of millions of people in the world, like Bao Zheng, Hai Rui and others, after such a person dies, the incense is vigorous, the faith is abundant, and the natural soul is more and more condensed.

The other is to become an evil ghost, absorb the yang energy of mortals in the world, and can also survive, but in this way, it will embark on the evil path, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, and as the sin reaches a certain level, thunder punishment will often fall, and it may be split into nothingness at any time.

Another way is for future generations to be filial to their elders, and before the Qingming Festival and other times, burn incense, burn paper money, and sacrifice in time, such ghosts can also absorb some faith and will, stabilize the soul body, and survive.

The last one is to cultivate the ghost cultivation method, take the initiative to absorb the cold power floating in the heaven and earth, condense the soul body, and cultivate supernatural spells.

It's just that this method is very difficult to walk, on the one hand, the ghost cultivation method is very precious, for ordinary ghosts, it can be encountered but not sought, and on the other hand, it is just like the human world, among all living beings, only a very few mortals have spiritual roots to cultivate immortals, and the same is true among ghosts, only a very few ghosts have special physique and can practice ghost cultivation exercises.

Of course, in addition to these four methods, there are some special methods that can survive, such as becoming a ghost in the prefecture, you can naturally be like a civil servant in the yang world, receive a specific incense wish power from the prefecture and county government every month, and if you make a special contribution, there are additional rewards, but the number of ghosts in the prefecture and county government is limited, and without a skill, you can't squeeze into the ranks of the ghost cha at all.

For example, Liu Ergou, that is the ancestral skill of playing boards, in playing boards, he has reached the realm of grandmasters, and he got the errand of miscellaneous servants in the county government.
