"The Ghost Gate Pass is a realm gate that is opened with advanced formations at the weak point of the interface. There are a total of seventy-two such realm gates, all of which are controlled by the Zhongyuan Palace. Liyue explained.

This gate is not big, but it is full of incomparable vicissitudes, and the Great Wall is like a new building compared to it. On the ancient and gloomy castle tower, there are shadows like samurai in armor.

Three plausible Chinese characters above the city gate: Jiangting Pass.

Liyue pulled Xu Wei's brothers and sisters, and his body flashed into the black city gate in a flash. As soon as Xu Wei entered the city gate, he found that there was a cave inside, and the dark and gloomy scene outside was completely gone.

Inside it turned out to be a small square, the size of a football field. In the middle of the square, a stone path with runes carved on it leads to a two-story hall with heavy eaves at the end of the square. The whole hall is gray, not very gorgeous, but the scale is huge.

A huge stone statue stands in the middle of the square. This stone statue wears a high crown and has a majestic face, carved lifelikely, as if looking at the common people and looking down on the world. It seems to be noble and extraordinary, and it is indispensable. Around the stone statue is a circle of seven huge stone tripods, which are lit with incense, making the whole square smoky.

"This is the statue of Zhongyuanjun, come and salute!" said Liyue as he knelt down in front of the stone statue.

Do you want to kneel? Xu Wei instinctively resisted. He didn't want to kneel, but seeing that the fourth uncle knelt down without hesitation, he hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down with the fourth uncle. Treat yourself as worshipping God.

Xu Miaoyu didn't want to kneel, she was Guigujun's daughter, and Guigujun's strength status was no worse than Zhongyuanjun. But in order to cooperate with Liyue, she could only reluctantly kneel perfunctorily.

At this time, a comfortable feeling came, Xu Wei felt refreshed, he knew that it should be because the aura here far exceeded the Yang World.

After worshipping the statue of the god from Yue, he stood up and pointed to the main hall and said: "This hall is the palace of the lord of the Guan, and the ghosts of thousands of miles outside the Jiangting Pass must enter the palace from this soul-attracting road, and after registration and reporting, they will be led by the Yin Difference to lead the souls of the world in batches, leave the ghost gate at the back door of the palace, go to the Nai He Bridge, and hand over to the Si Qiao envoy of the Nai He Bridge, and then hand over to the master of the Yin Soul Hall after crossing the Nai He Bridge, and the dead souls will have the opportunity to be reincarnated in the reincarnation array of the Yin Soul Palace. ”

"In the future, I will be the master of this hall?" Xu Wei was still a little in a trance, feeling that things were too simple, and the simplicity made him feel child's play, so simple that he couldn't believe it.

But thinking of the fourth uncle, all of Xu Wei's suspicions immediately disappeared. In any case, the fourth uncle is for his own better cultivation, and he just listens to his arrangement.

At this moment, several figures fell from the sky and fell to the square like several big birds, as if heaven and earth descended to earth. Xu Wei looked at it with envy, this is the cultivator of the underworld clan, when will he be able to do this?

These men were all samurai in beast bone armor, armed with bones and chains, and looked evil. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, shouted: "The trading time has not yet arrived, so you must hurry up and get out of the customs!"

Another samurai said: "This is the Ghost Gate, not the Yang World, even if you are good in the Yang World, you must abide by the rules here!"

It turned out that they regarded Liyue and the others as Yang Shigao who came to trade in the Guannai. Now that the trading time has not yet come, of course they want to drive these Yang Shigao people out.

These people may be very remarkable in the Yang World, otherwise they would not be able to find the Ghost Gate, and they would not be able to come in and trade with the Underworld. But in the eyes of these warriors guarding the gates, these Yang World masters are nothing at all, just a level higher than mortals.

"Bold! I am the judge of the Yue Dynasty, and I am here on business. Tell your Guan Master to come out and take orders!" shouted Liyue with his hands in his hands, completely ignoring these warriors.

He is a fifth-grade judge, and his cultivation is as high as the fifth order, and he is a figure wherever he goes in the underworld. This warrior is only a mere ninth rank, and his cultivation is only a second-order, what kind of thing is it?

The leading warrior was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "What a boldness, a mortal dares to pretend to be a Liyue judge, I really don't know whether to live or die!

And he is not to blame for that. Although he saw that Li Yue actually had a second-order cultivation in his body, he could be regarded as a terrific mortal. But he couldn't get in touch with the famous Liyue judge at all.

Besides, it is impossible for Judge Liyue to have the breath of a mortal, let alone to come in from the outside.

"Stop!" a clear voice came, and almost at the same time, a beautiful shadow fell, and the person who came turned out to be a woman.

This woman's colorful dress and long skirt are fluttering, her ring bun is high, her face is beautiful, and her posture is graceful and elegant, just like a goddess descending to earth. It's just that her eyebrows flew into her sideburns obliquely, and her expression was cold, so she looked a little sinister and unapproachable.

Several warriors immediately stopped their movements and bowed to the woman together: "Master Guan!"

Liyue smiled, and said with a pleasant face: "Lord Bing Huan, this official is away from Yue." You must already know that, right?"

This Qingli woman named Bing Huan nodded indifferently, and said in a clear voice: "I have already received the news, but I didn't expect that Judge Liyue would borrow a mortal body, let alone that you would come to replace the master of Jiangting Guan." She really couldn't figure it out, how could Liyue be a popular man in the king's house, with a fifth-grade official residence, deign to be a sixth-grade master?

Liyue shook his head, "It's not me, it's him." His name is Xu Wei, and he is the person who will succeed you. After speaking, he pointed at Xu Wei.

Bing Huan hadn't glanced at Xu Wei before, but at this time she couldn't help but look at Xu Wei, slowly, her beautiful eyes were full of doubts.

A mortal who has not cultivated himself has come to be the master of the Ghost Gate? What is going on? Even if he has an extraordinary family background, it is absolutely impossible.

"Judge Liyue, is this a joke?" The gloomy color in Bing Huan's eyes flashed for a moment, and her expression became even colder.

Liyue took out the official document and handed it to Bing Huan, "Your Excellency's decree, you can read it yourself." "For another person, he wouldn't be so polite. However, Bing Huan's family is a high-ranking sect in the underworld, and she herself is a first-class genius, and she is a third-order Shura before she is twenty years old, so Li Yue doesn't want to embarrass her too much.

As for the explanation, Li Yue didn't think about it at all. Nakamoto-kun needs to explain to her? She's a smart person and doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked.

Bing Huan took the official document and read it, her expression changed, and finally sighed lightly and said, "Nangong Bing Huan takes the order." After speaking, he waved his long sleeves and made an inviting gesture: "Judge Liyue, Lord Xu Weiguan, and this one, please enter the hall." ”

She was extremely dissatisfied with a mortal who had no cultivation to replace her, and it was difficult to accept and understand. But she could not disobey the king's decree. Not to mention her, even her grandfather, the patriarch of the Nangong family, couldn't disobey Zhongyuanjun.

Nangong Binghuan said the words "Xu Weiguan Master", and her tone was slightly aggravated, with a little disdain. can know what attitude is towards Xu Wei, the person who replaced her official position.

Xu smiled, but didn't care. Not to mention that this Nangong Binghuan is difficult to serve at first glance, even if he is an honest person, he will not be indifferent when he is replaced. What's more, he didn't have any qualifications to be the master, and he completely relied on the fourth uncle to "use his power for personal gain", and it was normal for others to be dissatisfied.

As soon as he entered the hall, Xu Wei felt cold all over. The front hall of this hall is like an official office in a film and television, but there are a lot more useless decorations than the official office, and it is much larger than the public hall.

A group of people in brown official robes with a strange atmosphere performed their duties in the lobby, and they didn't know what they were busy with. As soon as these bureaucrats saw Nangong Binghuan coming in, they immediately stopped their affairs and saluted together.

Nangong Binghuan announced in public that Xu Wei would replace him as the master, which immediately caused a commotion among everyone.

"What? a mortal should be the master!"

"Strange...... What does it mean......"

"What is the origin of this Xu Guan Lord?"

"Why did Lord Liyue borrow a mortal body......?"

Hearing everyone's discussions, Xu Wei didn't pay much attention to it, which was originally expected by him. But Liyue's expression became ugly.

"Presumptuous! Shut up the official!"

Li Yue stopped drinking, and these little officials were suddenly silent. Some of them have reached the third-order Shura, and their current strength is stronger than Liyue's, but they don't dare to go against Liyue.

Xu Wei thought to herself: I didn't expect the fourth uncle to be so majestic here.

"Liyue Lord, the next official Qiu Qing, is Jiangting Guan Guancheng. "Suddenly, a seven-rank official position, the official of Shura cultivation came out of the crowd and saluted to Liyue.

Li Yue said coldly: "Hmm, what do you have to say?"

"Master Liyue, the above appointed Master Xu Weiguan, and we will naturally comply. However, the things in the customs are more complicated, and I am worried that Xu Weiguan has just arrived, and his cultivation is not high for the time being, so it will be inconvenient to deal with things. Qiu Qing said with a straight face.

What is not high for the time being? Not at all. It's not inconvenient to deal with things, it's very inconvenient. Qiu Qing didn't know where Xu Wei came from, but a person who had not cultivated came to be the master, which made him look down on him from the bottom of his heart.

The strength of the underworld is respected. You don't have the strength, what do you do if you become the master? But you're just a puppet, and no one will take you seriously. But that's fine, as Guan Cheng, he happens to manage the official seal of Lord Guan. And Nangong Binghuan is too strong, he was a deputy before, it was just a decoration.

"Oh, do you want to assist Master Xu Guan a lot?" Li Yue immediately knew that Qiu Qing wanted to manage the official seal, so that he could use the six-grade official seal to cultivate. This is to endorse him myself.

Qiu Qing was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Since the lord has an order, he must assist Lord Guan well......

Li Yue waved his hand to interrupt Qiu Qing's words, "This is not necessary, this official will temporarily manage the affairs of Jiangting Pass for Lord Xu Guan, you can go down." ”

What? A dignified judge personally took care of the ghost gate?

Qiu Qing's expression was very embarrassed, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she retreated unwillingly.

"Alright. Now that the new master has arrived, the master of Bing Huan will start to hand over. Li Yue said a little impatiently.

After a few moments, the handover was complete. In addition to the black seal of one side, it is all kinds of documents, accounts, personnel, etc. Through the handover, Xu Wei has a deeper understanding of this ghost gate.

From the six-grade master to the soul-collector without grade, there are a total of one hundred and nine officials and more than three hundred slaves in the pass.

Guan Zhu and Guan Cheng each have one each. The main book of the eighth rank, the captain, the ghost chief, and the tax chief each have one each, and then there are twenty-eight samurai and subordinates of the ninth rank. The rest are soul collectors with no grade. Among them, the main register is in charge of the list documents, the commander is responsible for directing the samurai to guard the customs, the ghost chief is responsible for directing the soul collectors to collect and attract ghosts, and the tax chief is naturally collecting customs duties. The number of soul collectors is the largest, and their cultivation is only a first-order ghost, but they are responsible for collecting ghosts from thousands of miles outside, which can be said to be the heaviest task.

There are also more than 300 slaves in the pass, all of whom are people who have no qualifications and cannot cultivate. Most of them are from the underworld, and a few of them are people who have offended the ghost gate and captured them from the yang world. These people are not responsible for official business, but only for serving their masters.

The taxes that have not yet been paid in the customs are nearly 100,000 taels of gold, which is at least 1 billion Chinese yuan in Yangshi currency, which is still a quarter's income, which shows how rich its profits are.

The gold is public money and cannot be embezzled in the slightest. Everyone's oil and water are bribes from both sides of the transaction. But even so, the people who serve here make a lot of money.

On average, Jiang Tingguan collects thousands of ghosts every day, and it all depends on dozens of soul collectors to be busy everywhere. As soon as a person's soul dies out of the body, the soul collector must lead the wandering soul to Jiangting Pass within seven days. Because of the heavy workload, the soul collectors also made mistakes, resulting in a very small number of ghosts not being collected, leaving them stranded in the yang world.

Xu Wei was not interested in these, what he was most interested in was the black seal of Nangong Binghuan's handover. There are four yin inscriptions on this official seal: Jiangting Guan Master.

Li Yue recited the magic formula, and with a "boom", the official decree burst into flames, and then turned into a golden light and rushed into the black official seal, and the official seal suddenly became brilliant and flowing.

When the brilliance on the black seal disappeared, Li Yue handed the official seal to Xu Wei, "Now that the official seal has recognized you as the seal master, you can use the official qi blessed by it." ”

As soon as the official seal was in his hand, Xu Wei felt that his body was light, as if his body was supported by something in an instant, and his gravity was greatly reduced. At the same time, I felt as if something in my brain had been opened up and suddenly brightened.

Nangong Binghuan looked at the official seal with a complicated expression, and took out something like rune paper.

"Master Xu, do it well. Nangong Binghuan said with a sneer. She glanced at Xu Wei deeply, as if she wanted to keep in mind the person who replaced her official position. Then she made a few moves gracefully, and after a flash of white light, she disappeared in place in Xu Wei's consternation.

Qiu Qing smiled dryly: "Let's leave if you leave, and waste a transfer charm to leave, the people of the Nangong family are really extravagant." "He was suppressed by Nangong Binghuan before, and what the deputy did was very tasteless, so he was also very unhappy with Nangong Binghuan.

However, he found that Xu Wei's shocked expression after seeing the transfer talisman was full of disdain, and he scolded secretly: "This ant is just a frog at the bottom of a well who has never seen the world, and a turtle is actually a master, I really don't know what shit ......luck I have taken" If it weren't for Liyue's presence, he would have been eager to kick this shit "Xu Guan Master" to death.
