Chapter 70: The Secret of Netherland
"Okay, little friend, you are really happy. Do you need to sign a covenant?" The City God looked happy, and the red light around his body made waves. Obviously, he still wanted Zhou Bai to agree.
There is no way, although gods can live forever, they do not have to worry about the life span of mortals.
But that situation mostly refers to innate gods. For example, the incense god like him is still granted by the dynasty, so it is inevitable that there will be some worries about the future.
Daxu has already passed the three hundred years of a normal dynasty. Even if it can be revived again, it will only last for five hundred years at most.
After more than two hundred years like this, who will remember him in the new dynasty? The god of Pingcang City God may be replaced by the god of the new dynasty.
Without incense, their incense gods are nothing. Sooner or later they will die in people's oblivion.
Only the higher you go, the greater the probability that the new dynasty will continue to enact edicts to appease the old gods.
The City God had no choice but to bet on Zhou Bai. With their system, it was very difficult for gods to get promoted.
The system of the Great Xuyang Dynasty includes evaluation every three years, transfer at the higher level, retention at the middle level or transfer at the same level, and reprimand at the lower level.
However, the system of the underworld does not have a three-year rule. It is normal to have an evaluation every ten or twenty years, and even the superior gods cannot make the decision on promotion and demotion, and must seek the consent of the Dragon Court.
After Longting agrees, he will inform the Yangshi court again, and then he will use his luck to upgrade you.
With every carrot and pit, and such a complicated process, Ping Cang Cheng Huang felt a little desperate.
Otherwise, He wouldn't enjoy such luxury now. Why does God's Realm store so much incense? It's all in vain if God's position doesn't mention anything. Instead of wasting it, it's better to treat them.
"The covenant will not be signed. I believe in each other's credibility and we will have a happy cooperation." Zhou Bai raised his glass with a smile.
After a whole night of banquets, this was the second time Zhou Bai toasted with the City God.
He currently has no cultivation, no suitable covenant constraints, and neither party would believe it even if he signed it.
In the future, one of the two will inevitably surrender. All alliances in this world are based on strength.
After draining the wine in the cup, the city god casually touched the table in front of Zhou Bai. All the leftovers on it disappeared, replaced by a set of four treasures of the study, complete with paper and pen.
Zhou Bai nodded and started writing without any delay.
"The City God's Induction Sutra opens with a stanza. The City God surrenders his clothes to the City God, and his mighty spirit controls the world... I will recite the scripture now as the performance of the Sutra begins, hoping that the light of grace will come down... At this time, the City God will pity all living beings in the world, and may there be years
In calamity and misfortunes in the moon and stagnation of fate, the net of heaven and earth, the widows and widowers are lonely... In all calamities, if you recite this sutra, I will quickly send the messengers of plague and collect the saints who are plagued, so that the book of sins can be wiped out, and the roots of evil will be destroyed forever."
In just a short while, a magnificent Cheng Huang induction sutra came out. Although the City God had been mentally prepared for it, he was still very excited after reading this sutra.
He didn't know that this City God's Induction Sutra was engraved in every City God's temple on the Blue Star where Zhou Bai lived, so he thought it was some rare and unique copy.
I don’t know how much role such a dedicated Taoist priest can play in spreading the faith of the City God. As long as the temple blessings recognized by him are spread widely enough, even if the dynasty changes in the future, he will not fall too quickly.
The City God placed Zhou Bai's manuscript in a treasure box, and then said happily: "If so, then I will give you another gift, follow me."
I saw him walking up to Zhou Bai and gently placing his hand on his shoulder. His original gentle and calm temperament suddenly turned into a solemn and serious one, with his red divine light calm and calm.
Suddenly, a world changed before Zhou Bai's eyes. It felt very familiar, calm and quiet, and darkness was always the main theme.
"Is this the underworld?"
"Well, this is the Netherland area corresponding to Pingcang County. People usually come here after death." City God replied while looking around, as if he was looking for something.
When a person dies as a ghost, if there is no special opportunity, he can only stay in the upper world for a maximum of seven days. If he resists the guidance of the underworld, his soul will be scattered.
Whatever he thought came to mind, Zhou Bai was still thinking that there were not as many evil ghosts here as in the ghost world. Unexpectedly, countless ghosts suddenly appeared from all sides, hiding in the dark and preparing to attack this place.
The City God is the local official in charge of the underworld, but now it seems that his control is not that tight?
Although these ghosts did not dare to approach the bright red color and appeared to be a little afraid of the city god, they were too brave just to covet it.
He is your priest, and this is extremely offensive.
Perhaps because he noticed something different in Zhou Bai's expression, or perhaps because he had just received a benefit, Pingcang City God spoke of secrets that were difficult for mortals in the Yang world to know.
"This land of the underworld is unfathomable and has many implications. We, the priests, can only struggle to maintain basic order..."
It turns out that when praying for rain before, the entire pantheon of Pingcang City God's domain was not there. It was not that they were deliberately avoiding the people's wishes, but they were all brought to the underworld by the City God.
There had just been a riot here before, and ghosts from all directions got into a melee for some unknown reason. There was even a ghost hero trying to raise a flag and establish his power.
It's okay for you to just fight and fight, but to form a system to challenge the majesty of Hades is the bottom line that the official god cannot tolerate.
Therefore, Pingcang City God did not care about the Yang world at all, and went out to the underworld to quell the rebellion.
"The underworld is so chaotic, doesn't Heaven care?" Zhou Bai glanced at the dark place, where a sad ghost was staring at his newcomer.
“What does Heaven represent?”
"Heaven represents rules and order, but what would happen if a world only had rules and order? No, it should be said that there is no such world in the entire universe."
"And do you think Heaven hasn't tried this? In the past, Heaven had set up the Underworld..."
At this time, the City God didn't care whether Zhou Bai was a mortal or not, and whether he could understand it or not. Maybe he thought it was no big deal, but he said everything he could say anyway.
The underworld tried to establish order, but ended up collapsing for no reason, and the king of hell also fell?
This underworld is not unique to one world, but is spread throughout the universe and connected to each other?
The more Zhou Bai listened, the more horrified he became. The city god said it was his own speculation, but he felt that it seemed to be very close to the truth.
Even if the energy level of the ghost world is so low, the underworld still exists, and it is even more chaotic and disorderly.
It's just because of the power of heaven that the main world's underworld has local priests suppressing it and maintaining the most basic order.
After a long time, a ball of divine light suddenly flew back from the north. This was some kind of magical technique used by the City God just now.
"I found it, the same breath as yours."
"What?" Zhou Bai vaguely thought of something in his mind, and his face showed excitement.
"Your parents!" The city god grabbed Zhou Bai again and turned into a divine rainbow and galloped northward.
It is said that he has poor control over the underworld, but now the city god still seems to be powerful, so he put down the riot, and no big ghost does not blink an eye.
