Chapter 459: Heavenly Punishment
The city of Wudu is haunted by ghosts.
Under the gloomy sky, this place is like an illusory city. It looks prosperous but gives people a sense of unreality.
Zhang Shixin stood on the city wall and looked at the increasingly dense ghost shadows in the city, then looked at the densely packed bat soldiers on the surrounding hills, and could not help but let out a long sigh.
What should I do if this continues?
Chen Jiu suddenly flashed over and asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Zhang Shixin said with a worried look on his face: "The Yin Qi in this Yin and Yang world is getting thinner and thinner, and the places with thick Yin Qi in the underworld are not in our territory. It is becoming increasingly difficult for our ghost cultivators to advance."
What a coincidence.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I found a place with strong yin energy for you."
Zhang Shixin was surprised when he heard this: "Oh, where is it? Is there a place with strong Yin energy in the mortal world?"
The Xuanming Patriarch flashed over and said in a profound tone, "Of course there is no such place in the mortal world."
This man has such a strong soul!
Zhang Shixin couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Ajiu, who is this?"
This guy's talent is beyond words, but he seems to have some problems with his brain.
Chen Jiu said helplessly: "This is the Xuanming Patriarch of the God Realm."
My God, it turns out to be an ancestor.
Zhang Shixin bowed repeatedly and said, "I didn't know you were here, I'm sorry for the neglect, please forgive me."
Chen Jiu pressed his hand down and shook his head, saying, "Uncle Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. We're one family, so just call him Master Diao."
One of us ?
Ancestor Xuanming nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhang, you're welcome. We are one family, one family."
This old man calls me uncle!
Zhang Shixin was stunned.
Chen Jiu asked solemnly: "Uncle Zhang, how many ghost cultivators do you have now?"
Zhang Shixin said without hesitation: "Probably more than 300,000."
More than three hundred thousand!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but asked excitedly: "How many can you transfer to the God Realm?"
Zhang Shixin sighed slightly and said, "I'm afraid this won't be much. The most I can take out now is 50,000."
ah?
Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked: "Why is it so little?"
Zhang Shixin said helplessly: "Because there is not enough Yin Qi for cultivation, I can't recruit too many people. Among these more than 300,000 people, more than 200,000 are officials in charge of reincarnation in the three prefectures. Only 100,000 can be mobilized."
Oh, so that's the reason.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Now that there is Yin Qi, how much can you attract?"
Zhang Shixin estimated: "A few million shouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming Patriarch couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God, so many!"
This is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Chen Jiu asked curiously, "Uncle Zhang, where can you recruit so many ghosts? Qingzhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, and Laizhou Prefecture seem to have a total population of only two to three million. You don't want to turn half of them into ghost cultivators, do you?"
Zhang Shixin shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? With a population of two to three million, that many people won't die. I mean recruit them from other places."
Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked, "How can we recruit ghosts from other places? Doesn't the Northern Underworld care? Can ghosts from other places come from the Underworld's territory?"
Zhang Shixin shook his head again and again, "It might have been possible before, but it's not possible now. The Northern Underworld has set up checkpoints to surround our territory. We can only rob from the Yang World."
Steal from the world of the living?
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Uncle Zhang, do you mean that we should replace all the city god temples and temples in the mortal world with our own gods?"
Zhang Shixin sighed slightly and said, "Yes, the Northern Underworld is now upside down, picking out those who are rich and unkind to be reborn into good families, while the diligent common people can only work like slaves for generations.
There is no such thing as retribution in this world because of them. Those rich people are unscrupulous and have committed all kinds of evil. They are getting worse and worse, while the hardworking people are getting more and more miserable. It is simply unjust.
Unfortunately, we don't have the Book of Life and Death, so we can't take over all of the Northern Underworld. In fact, I've been thinking about this for a long time. If not, we can start from the human world, replace all the city god temples and shrines with our gods, and go through all the ghosts. We'll take the good ones and leave the useless and bad ones to them."
Chen Jiu pondered: "If we do this, then other places are not all filled with bad people. After all, those places are also our territory. I'm afraid we can't control them if we do this, right?"
Zhang Shixin shook his head slightly and said, "No, you forgot that they have to drink Meng Po soup when they reincarnate. If they were bad in their previous life, they may not be bad in their next life."
That way there will be no problem.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's do this. How long will it take to recruit a million ghost cultivators?"
Zhang Shixin couldn't help but say, "Ah Jiu, this person won't die just because we let him. It will take at least ten years to recruit a million ghost cultivators."
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this and said, "Ten years or so is too late. Even if we take 50,000 ghost cultivators to the God Realm this time, it won't be enough."
Zhang Shixin thought about it, and simply pointed at the bat soldiers on the hill outside the city and said, "Ajiu, why don't you take 100,000 bat soldiers with you? There are more than 200,000 bat soldiers anyway, so it will be enough for us to leave more than 100,000."
Of course he had thought about this question.
Chen Jiu sighed slightly and said, "Most of these bat soldiers were not good people when they were alive. Now they are controlled by the soul curse and can only be obedient. However, if we want them to practice, we must lift the soul curse. Once we lift the soul curse, I'm afraid that few of these bat soldiers will be honest and obedient. We can't cultivate such ghosts."
Hearing this, the Xuanming Patriarch could not help but wonder, "Soul Curse, who dares to use this forbidden technique? Isn't he afraid of being punished by the heavens?"
Didn’t the Black Mountain Patriarch suffer divine punishment? Not only was his body and soul destroyed, but his body was also cut into pieces.
Oh no, Lao Tao and the others are the ones who actually cast the soul spell!
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but worry, "Master Diao, those who were forced to cast soul spells won't also be punished by God, right?"
Xuan Ming Patriarch shook his head and said, "How can that be possible? God has eyes. Being forced is a victim. How can you be punished by God together? You force others to do bad things. Doesn't God punish you but others?"
Does God have eyes?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky.
Forget it, it’s better not to discuss this issue.
He thought about it, then asked, "Master Diao, can you let these bat soldiers practice without removing the soul curse?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming Patriarch immediately extended his spiritual sense to carefully scan the bat soldiers. He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "This is not difficult. The person who created this soul spell must have a low level of cultivation, right?"
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "It's just a ghost fairy."
Patriarch Xuanming nodded repeatedly and said, "That's no problem. You can take these bat soldiers with you. I can also let them practice without removing the soul curse."
Chen Jiu thought about it and reminded him: "Master Diao, you are not forced, you will not be punished by God, right?"
The Xuanming Patriarch said without hesitation: "Why am I punished by heaven? They were originally unable to practice, but I enabled them to practice. I am doing a good deed, okay? What does the soul curse have to do with me?"
That's it.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Uncle Zhang, how long will it take you to gather 100,000 bat soldiers and 50,000 ghost cultivators?"
Zhang Shixin pondered and said, "This will probably take an hour or so."
Chen Jiu thought about it again, and then said: "Uncle Zhang, remember, we can't take ghost immortals and ghost gods to the God Realm. We can only take those with cultivation levels below ghost immortals."
Zhang Shixin nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I don't have many ghost fairies and ghost gods. If you take them away, I'm worried that my subordinates will not be as strong as Beiyinsi."
There shouldn't be any problem.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, I'll take Master Diao to eat something first, you quickly gather the ghost cultivators and bat soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming Patriarch couldn't help but said in surprise: "Eat? Okay, okay!"
This guy has a real mental problem!
Alas, there is no way. Since they are here, it is not the right way to entertain them by not letting them eat.
Chen Jiu shook his head helplessly, and then quickly flashed to the hall at the foot of Linlang Peak.
At this time, Zhang Wanxia, Luo Li, Fairy Furong, Yunxiao Tianzun and others had already taken their seats, and Daqing, Xiaoqing and the Wolf Demon King Er were serving the dishes in turn.
When he flashed over, a bunch of fairies immediately chirped and were extremely happy.
Ancestor Xuanming came over to take a look and said in surprise: "Hey, Master Jiu, is this your brother? Why does he look so much like you? Why is he a wolf demon?"
What's wrong with wolf demon? Why can't I be a wolf demon?
Wang Er couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but have an idea. It just so happened that these two guys had some problems with their brains, so he brought them together and let them talk.
Thinking of this, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Second brother, stop busying yourself. Come, I'll introduce you to a brother."
Okay, I just don’t feel like carrying dishes.
Upon hearing this, the second wolf demon king immediately rushed over.
Chen Jiu pretended to be serious and said, "Second Brother, this is a brother I know in the God Realm, the Xuanming Patriarch, you can call him Master Diao."
Oh, he’s an old man. Fortunately, I didn’t curse him just now.
The wolf demon Wang Er immediately smiled and said, "Hello, Master Diao, I am Ajiu's brother Wang Er."
Why are there one Chen Jiu and one Wang Er?
Never mind, let’s not ask this.
Xuan Ming Patriarch immediately smiled and said, "You call me Lao Er, right? Fine, fine, Jiu Ye's brother is my brother."
Sure enough, when two people with brain problems get together they have something to talk about.
Chen Jiu very straightforwardly pulled the two of them to sit together and said in detail: "Second brother, accompany Master Diao to have a good chat."
Then, he sat next to Yunxiao Tianzun and said in a pretended serious tone, "Yunxiao, you have all been playing in the mortal world for so long, isn't it time to go back?"
Yunxiao Tianzun couldn't help but ask, "Why are you going back? You don't have time to play with us."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I'm a little free now, we can go hunt monsters."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Tianzun immediately said happily: "Okay, okay, hunting monsters is fun."
By this time, the dishes were almost served. The nine-tailed demon fox walked in quickly and asked curiously, "What do you mean by hunting demon beasts? Are Yunxiao and the others going back to the God Realm?"
Chen Jiu quickly explained: "The monsters are the ones we eat. They are all at the eighth and ninth level of True God, or even the Heavenly Venerable level. It's not easy to kill one or two of them, so we need to call more people to go together."
Xuanming Tianzun immediately volunteered: "Master Jiu, take me with you. I can kill him with one punch at the Tianzun level."
You can brag all you want, I can’t kill you with just one punch.
Chen Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, you should go back to guard the ghost domain and train ghost cultivators and bat soldiers."
Xuanming Tianzun was actually just chatting up Chen Jiu, but his eyes were glancing at the nine-tailed fox.
You guy, be careful or I’ll beat you up.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu quickly raised his hand and said, "Okay, everyone is here, let's eat quickly. Lao Er, you are the only one who can eat. Compare with Diao Ye to see who eats faster."
Upon hearing this, Wolf Demon King II couldn't help but ask with great interest: "Master Diao, are you also fast eaters? How do you compare to Master Peng?"
Xuanming Tianzun couldn't help but brag again: "Master Peng eats very fast, can't you tell? You are much worse than me."
Do you eat faster than Peng Ye?
The second wolf demon king immediately brought over a large pot of barbecued meat, rubbed his hands and said, "Then let's compete with this first, and then count the skewers after we finish eating."
Xuanming Tianzun said without hesitation: "Okay, come on, let's see who eats faster."
Wolf Demon King II secretly reached out his hand, grabbed a stick, and then quickly said, "Begin."
The two of them immediately attacked left and right, and started eating as quickly as they would noodles.
These two foodies ate really fast. In a short while, they had finished the whole pot of barbecue.
When he counted the sticks, he found that the wolf demon king had eaten two more.
There was no way. He had practiced it specially, and even the Winged Heavenly Master was not as fast as him in eating this thing.
Xuanming Tianzun, however, didn't care at all. He smacked his lips repeatedly and said, "Delicious, really delicious. The barbecue made by my aunt is really delicious. There is no such delicious meat in the God Realm."
Seeing this, the nine-tailed fox could not help but said with relief: "If you like it, come and eat more. I will make it for you."
Xuanming Tianzun couldn't help but said happily: "Okay, I'll come when I'm free."
Mom, what are you talking about?
This guy has a problem with his brain!
Chen Jiu couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
