Returning to the village, I learned through casual chat that the newly recruited subordinates turned out to be people from the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. Because of the years of war, most of them were forced to have no choice but to go up the mountain and become bandits.
Only then did the three Black Bear brothers realize that the flow of time in the underworld is different from that in the earth. No wonder they have not been able to receive sacrifices in recent years. It turns out that decades have passed here, and hundreds of years have passed in the earth. It is normal that no one remembers them.
Because the village had more people and not enough living space, they simply expanded the yard and built several more houses.
Every few years, a few homeless people would appear in this mountain range, most of whom died tragically. When the last few people appeared, it was already the middle of the Qing Dynasty in the world.
As the size of the village expanded and the number of bandits increased, Black Bear and his gang began to rob more and more items.
Finally, a passing caravan couldn't bear it anymore and reported it to the government. For the first time in a hundred years, Black Bear and the others, who had become bandits, reported to the government.
Five men in black rode war horses and camped near the broken road. After waiting for several days, they finally met Black Bear and the bandits.
The leading man in black held the Yin Commander sign and arrogantly demanded that Black Bear and the others surrender. Without saying a word, Black Bear and his group picked up their weapons and charged forward.
What I never expected was that the black-clothed government officials were not as powerful as they had imagined. After a while, they killed four of the opponent's government officials, and the last one decisively surrendered to the black bear in order to survive.
During his lifetime, this yamen servant was a small businessman selling liquor in the Sui Dynasty, which was even older than theirs. After his death, he was captured as a young man and enlisted in the army as the lowest-level ghost errand, doing errands and odd jobs with a underworld boss.
It's considered humiliating.
For the first time in hundreds of years, he participated in a battle and met the Black Bears, a group of desperadoes. He was completely defeated. He had already died once in the world of the world, and he didn't want to die again in the underworld, so he took the initiative to join the Black Bears.
The good thing about being a bandit is that you have more freedom than a government servant.
This government officer later became the bandit's strategist. Everything Black Bear and the others knew about the underworld came from this government officer.
Their geographical location is a remote area in the underworld, thousands of miles away from the nearest town, and it falls under the jurisdiction of the two adults with a bull head and a horse face.
The reason why Black Bear and the others have been safe and sound for so many years is entirely because of the two adults' handling style.
The two adults are directly affiliated with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and will not easily get angry and kill. As long as they do not do anything harmful to nature, they will basically turn a blind eye.
Secondly, it’s because the two adults are the Yin Division with the fewest subordinates among the top ten Yin Divisions. There are not enough manpower to govern the towns, let alone such remote areas.
The caravans passing here are all heading to the town on the other side of the mountain range, which is thousands of miles away from here.
The other side of the mountain is no longer under the jurisdiction of the two adults, the Bull Head and Horse Face. Black Bear and the others happen to be on the dividing line between the two places. This is one of the reasons why they have survived until now.
According to the military advisor, they had never committed any serious crimes during their lives and were extremely lucky. If they were under the jurisdiction of the two underworld officials, Black and White, they would have died long ago.
It just so happened that eighteen bandits took over the mountain and became kings. While continuing to carry out robberies, they only waited for the day when the sins in the world would be washed away and they could be reincarnated like normal ghosts.
The most brutal fight took place thousands of miles away from the mountain village. It was almost beyond the jurisdiction of the Bull Head Horse Face. There were dozens of underworld agents hidden in the caravan. Both sides were injured in that battle. In the end, they managed to escape on the Netherworld Ship.
Copycat.
In that battle, the Nether Ship consumed a lot of energy, and the energy beads had only one-third of the remaining energy.
Later, Black Bear and the others stopped going to distant places to rob. Occasionally, caravans reported to the officials, and ordinary underworld officials came to the stronghold, but there was nothing they could do to Black Bear and the others.
"That's the situation. We have a Netherworld ship. Whether it can be used or not depends entirely on the eldest lady's discretion."
As a modern soldier, Jing'er asked Black Bear to take out the Nether Ship without even thinking about it.
Jing'er's thinking is that the Nether Ship belongs to the disarmed enemy and belongs to her. Besides, she is protected by two adults, so there is no problem with such trivial matters. Perhaps the two thoughtful adults have long known that the bandits are in the hands of the bandits.
There is such a thing as a ghost ship.
"When I get a chance, I have to ask an adult for the energy beads that Black Bear talked about. They took two drops of my Mermaid Tears, and they didn't get them for nothing, huh."
Jing'er silently thought about finding an opportunity to rip off the two adults, and then communicated with Black Bear's military advisor. She hoped that he could continue to provide advice to Jing'er's team. The military advisor patted his chest and expressed that he was willing to go through fire and water for Jing'er.
It made Jing'er laugh.
"Military advisor, since you were once a government servant, you should be responsible for driving the Nether Ship!"
After Jing'er finished speaking, she remembered the Yin Commander that the two adults, the Bull-Head-Horse Face, gave her, took it out, looked at it, and threw it to the military.
"Can this token activate the Nether Ship?"
The military advisor looked back at Black Bear, who shook his head and said he didn't know, but he could give it a try.
Black Bear took out the five-color beads, and the military counselor held Jing'er's Commander Yin and approached the beads nervously.
"Don't be nervous. It doesn't have to work. It makes me unreasonable."
Jing'er looked at the uneasy look of the military advisor, and said with an annoyed smile, how could she know what the military advisor was thinking. The military advisor hoped that the token could be used, and he also hoped that he could perform well in front of Jing'er.
Everyone stared at the token in the strategist's hand, and after a while they saw the beads glowing even more dazzlingly.
"Miss, there's a show!"
When the black bear saw the change in the beads, he shouted excitedly. Then the black bear began to wonder. When the Nether Ship was activated in the past, the light was not so dazzling and there was no such big movement.
"Wow!"
The exclamations from the black tiger and the crowd behind the black bear happened to be heard by Jing'er.
It turns out that the Netherworld Ship was not like this before. After it was activated with Jing'er's token, the Netherworld Ship's hull was more than twice as big as before, and there was an eye-catching red mark on the hull.
"The mark of the Underworld Mansion?"
The military advisor stared dumbly at the huge ship in front of him, muttering in a low voice that this was the exclusive mark of the two adults with an ox-headed horse face. There should be only one ship like this in the entire underworld.
Everyone present had seen the attitude of the two adults, the bull-headed and horse-faced adults, towards Jing'er before. Because they were willing to follow the eldest lady, the adults were willing to expend their divine power to give everyone a completely new life.
At this time, when they saw the token that Jing'er casually threw to the military advisor, they knew very well that this was not Commander Yin, which symbolized his position at all. It was simply a personal identity token for the adults. They saw orders as they saw people.
At this moment, everyone's previous feelings about Xiao Jiujiu completely dissipated, and they finally surrendered to Jing'er wholeheartedly.
