Judging from the scale, Yin Yang City can indeed be called a city.
Under the light of blue and green will-o'-the-wisps, there are many buildings on both sides of the Styx River, including city walls, streets, and various buildings.
Apart from the looming ghosts on the streets, this place feels very much like a county-level city in Middle-earth.
And it is a county-level city with a good economy.
Silly Hun'er told me that there are at least hundreds of thousands of ghosts, zombies, and various spirits living in Yin Yang City.
There are so many evil spirits and spirits that go deep into the dark underground world in search of mineral deposits every day.
Things like underground black crystals, underground black forged stones, as well as the red other-side flowers on both sides of the Styx River, the nine-death resurrecting grass, and even the more precious earth-centered soul-melting grass, and the underworld's black gang.
As long as it is useful, everything will be brought back.
If every ghost citizen wants to live in Yin Yang City, he must provide supplies to the city lord on a regular basis.
In other words, as long as you have the resources, you can live here as long as you want.
If you don’t have resources, then go out and find them.
Only when you find it can you come to Yin Yang City to rest, sort out the chaotic three souls and seven souls, and buy things that can strengthen your dead soul.
After all, if the soul of the deceased is affected by the geomagnetic field for a long time, it will gradually become weaker and weaker, and eventually the soul will fly away.
Because of this, Fengdu has formed a complete business chain in this underground area.
They relied on twelve major cities and thirty-six small cities to bring all the dead souls in the underground world under their control.
On the one hand, it forces the dead souls to go out in search of supplies to pay taxes for themselves.
On the other hand, use the materials you obtain to establish the Ten Palaces of Ghost Soldiers to strengthen your rule.
Of course, they have their own system.
Anyway, it is no different from the methods used by capitalists to exploit and beat workers.
Silly Hun'er told me that if you want to enter the city, you must hand over at least two copies of the Underworld Black Crystal.
There is a weak magnetic field fluctuation in this black crystal of the underworld, which can sort out the three souls and seven souls of the deceased so that they will not be assimilated by the earth's magnetic field.
In addition, black crystal also has another function, that is, it can easily become the carrier of runes.
In other words, this thing is a good material for making runes.
Take the gold corpse-killing talisman that Zhang Sanfen often uses as an example. The body is made of gold.
Although the effect is good, it is expensive.
Folk exorcists still like to use black crystal to make talisman bases.
Therefore, this kind of black crystal is also one of the main materials for transactions between the underworld and the Yang world.
Silly Hun'er has lived in Yin Yang City for who knows how many years, so he naturally has some savings.
So he handed over all the black crystals that I entered the city on my behalf.
What satisfies me is that Yin Yang City is really a place where you can do whatever you want if you have money.
As long as you have money, outsiders like me can come in at will.
After entering the city, Shahuner was ready to take me to where I lived.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dull whine echoed throughout the city.
Suddenly, all the dead souls, zombies, and a few spirits on the street, including the guards at the city gate, all knelt on the ground.
I moved a little slower, but I knelt down without hesitation.
A real man can bend and stretch, so what if he kneels down?
It's amazing that if I chop off his head later, I can avenge this kneeling incident.
A group of dead souls floated by, and the bodies of the two leading dead souls were particularly solid. Judging from their strength, they were not wrong.
They said hurriedly: "The Lord of the City is back! Kneel down!"
"Whoever dares to be disrespectful to the Lord of the City will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell and become a devil!"
My heart moved, the Ghost King of Xudu is back?
If he doesn't compete for the position of Wheel King at this moment, why would he go back to Yin Yang City?
I looked up slightly, and sure enough I found a black boat surging down the River Styx.
The boat was about twenty meters long and seven or eight meters wide.
I don’t know what the hull is made of, but it still reflects the light of Yin Yang City.
The ship docked steadily on the bank of the River Styx, and then the green-faced and fanged Ghost King with a Void Belly walked out quickly, surrounded by a group of little ghosts.
He looked extremely angry. When he got off the boat, he even grabbed a ghost soldier guarding the city and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
The ghost soldiers guarding the city let out a shrill scream, and the screams made all the ghost soldiers present shudder and their souls tremble.
A deputy city lord accompanied him and said with a smile: "Mr. City Lord, who made you angry?"
The Ghost King with an empty belly said angrily: "The surname of Wei is the person who rewards good deeds! Sooner or later, I will eat him alive!"
"Fu Dahai!"
The deputy city lord said hurriedly: "I'm here!"
The Ghost King with a Void Belly said loudly: "How much reserve do we have in Hell Gang?"
The deputy city lord hurriedly replied: "There are only one hundred and thirty-two regiments!"
The Ghost King with a Void Belly said in a deep voice: "Immediately allocate a hundred regiments of underworld black gangs and send them to His Highness King Qin Guang! Just say this is part of my filial piety!"
"Also, I order all the ghost people in Yin Yang City to double all city entry taxes, protection taxes, transaction taxes, city construction taxes, Styx management taxes, etc. from now on!"
"No! Triple it!"
"Isn't it true that the one named Wei from the Good Reward Department has more resources than anyone else? Isn't it possible that I'm afraid of you?"
I clearly noticed that the silly soul next to me was shaking slightly.
For most of the lower-class ghost residents of Yin-Yang City, the usual tax rates are enough to squeeze them out, but they can barely survive.
But now they are talking about tripling the tax rate. This tax rate is enough to make many ghost people die outside.
But so what?
People are dying every day in Middle-earth, and the chances of those who die now being transformed into undead souls are greatly increased. If you die, there will always be new undead souls coming to the City of Life and Death along the River Styx.
The underground world lacks everything except dead souls!
After draining this batch, just replace it with another batch.
Fu Dahai said cautiously: "Don't be angry, City Lord. Your subordinates are in charge of Yin Yang City and Huihun Town. You have the final say on both cities."
"Don't worry, I will ask my sons and daughters to raise the new tax rate. As long as you can become the King of Wheels, everyone will be happy!"
Only then did the hostility in the Xudu Ghost King dissipate a little.
But soon, another deputy city lord said cautiously: "Sir, city lord, there is one more thing that you need to make a decision on."
"Master Renqing has been waiting for you in Yin Yang City for a long time. Is it time for you to meet him?"
When I heard the name of Master Renqing, my heart immediately skipped a beat.
This is a believer!
He was once a red-clothed master in Daxueshan Temple!
It's just that for some unknown reason, this guru was contaminated by the soul of the old god and escaped into the Uncursed Path. From then on, there was no trace of him again.
But who would have thought that he would actually run to Yin Yang City!
Strange!
Old God and Feng are not the same thing, and there is even a conflict of interest between the two.
Why did this believer come to see the Ghost King of Void Belly?
The Ghost King with an empty belly seemed not to take Master Renqing seriously. He waved his hand and said directly: "No time! Tell him to get lost!"
The deputy city lord said hurriedly: "Sir City Lord, Master Renqing asked me to convey to you that he has a way to make you the new wheel-turning king."
When the Xudu Ghost King heard this, he was immediately stunned.
After a while, he blinked and said, "Go find a quieter place and invite Master Renqing over!"
"What happened to the living people?"
"Even if he is a living person, as long as he can make me become the King of Wheels!"
Becoming the new Wheel-turning King has almost become the obsession of the Xudu Ghost King.
Only by becoming the King of Wheels can one jump from the management level to the decision-making level.
By then, no matter the top ten handsome men or the four top judges, they will all be a head shorter than themselves.
The most important thing is the 30,000 newly formed ghost soldiers!
These days, only by having soldiers and strength can we live a more prosperous life in the world!
