The sixth level technique of the underworld, the mantra.
Those who have won the skill must speak the truth in front of the governor.
This technique is performed silently, and the other party will reveal the truth to the governor without even realizing it.
"But if the other party is aware of it, the technique can be easily cracked, especially the Yin Yang family, judges and Qiongqi evil cultivators. In the process of cracking, it may even bring backlash to the officials. Therefore, this is the secret of our Taoist sect.
Xin, very few outsiders know about it.”
Xu Zhiqiong blinked and said: "Why does such a powerful skill disappear after reaching the sixth level?"
Zhong Jianxue shook his head: "There are different opinions on the reason. The most credible one is that fellow Taoists were spying on each other, and this technique caused them to compete with each other. The ancestor of our Taoist sect, the True God Xuanwu, placed restrictions on this technique."
This statement does make sense.
Underworld cultivators have gathered in the Underworld for many years, and this technique does pose a considerable threat to fellow practitioners.
After all, everyone has some secrets. If they spy on each other or are always on guard against each other, strife is inevitable.
"But you are not afraid that the governor will spy on other comrades?"
"Afraid!" Zhong Jianxue nodded and said, "Among all cultivators, Du Guan is a special case. They usually are not in Yama Luo Hall, but travel between Du Guan Mansion and Naihe Bridge. They try not to get along with fellow cultivators.
According to legend, the original intention of the Xuanwu True God in designing this technique was not to use it on living people, but to use it on the souls of the dead, and the duty of the governor is to send the souls of the dead to the other world.
Before the souls of the dead walk onto the Naihe Bridge, they will be interrogated one by one by the officials. Those who have committed many evil deeds during their lifetimes will be reborn as animals. Those who have done many good deeds during their lifetimes will be reborn into wealthy families.
But no matter how many evil deeds the deceased has committed before, he cannot be sent to prison without being apprehended by the judge. This is the rule of my Taoist sect."
In Ming Dao, it is the governor who decides where Tuosheng will go.
However, the governors of Qiancheng Kingdom did not seem to play any role, and they were almost reduced to followers of Lord Yan.
"The governor has so much power, but he is not afraid of malpractice for personal gain?"
"When the dead souls come to Naihe Bridge, they can complain to Po Meng once. Once Po Meng is found out, the officials to whom they belong will be severely punished. If the officials enforce the law impartially and the dead souls slander wantonly, the officials will be rewarded, but the souls will be punished."
Is there Po Meng in the underworld of Qiancheng?
According to the descriptions of those principals, there should be.
"What level of cultivator is Meng Po?" Xu Zhiqiong did not remember that Meng Po had this level in the underworld.
"Meng Po is a special person in our Taoist sect. Her identity cannot be disclosed to outsiders. Brother Ma, don't make things difficult for me anymore."
Xu Zhiqiong stopped asking questions and recalled all the past experiences with Shi Cheng, but now he felt scared when he thought about it.
However, Brother Shi has never harmed me, but he has saved my life. Moreover, he has a strong sense of boundaries in dealing with people. It seems that he and I have never inquired into each other's secrets.
"One more thing, excuse me for asking Ma, what do practitioners of the underworld usually do for a living?"
Zhong Jianxue said in surprise: "Brother Ma, do you really want to join me in the underworld? According to the rules of the Taoist sect, judges cannot enter the underworld, and you cannot be a judge in the underworld unless you abolish your previous cultivation."
It turns out there is still this rule.
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "Brother Zhong, I have no intention of joining the Underworld Dao for the time being. It's just because there is a group of Underworld cultivators who can't find a living, so I asked Brother Zhong for advice."
"How can practitioners of the underworld find no livelihood?" Zhong Jianxue was very puzzled. "When you enter the Taoist sect, you will have an official position. Once you have an official position, you will have a salary. I dare not say whether it is rich or not. It does not matter if you support your family."
"You're giving them a salary?" Xu Zhiqiong was also surprised, "You took the salary and went to the underworld to buy firewood and rice?"
Zhong Jianxue smiled and said: "Why go to the earthly world? Those who are below the sixth level of my Taoist sect cannot enter the earthly world. If you buy some firewood and rice and go to the earthly world, wouldn't you be waiting to starve to death?
The underworld can produce rice, millet, millet, wheat and bean sprouts, and all kinds of grains are available!"
Can rice be produced in the underworld?
The underworld is really hidden too deep, Xu Zhiqiong needs to learn more knowledge.
Zhong Jianxue continued: "There are willows, pines and cypresses, there is no shortage of wood, gold, silver, copper and iron in the underworld, and there is no shortage of minerals in the underworld. But Brother Ma said that practitioners of the underworld cannot make a living. Isn't this ridiculous?"
Xu Zhiqiong still couldn't understand: "How can food grow when there is no light in the underworld for many years?"
This made Zhong Jianxue also ask: "I can't explain the reason clearly. Brother Ma, where did the underworld practitioners you mentioned who can't make a living come from?"
"Qiancheng Kingdom." Xu Zhiqiong told the truth.
"Qiancheng... Yelang Kingdom?" Zhong Jianxue was startled, "Is there also a Yinsi there?"
Xu Zhiqiong was deeply surprised: "Without the underworld, where would the souls of the dead go?"
Zhong Jianxue frowned slightly: "I once heard from my seniors that there is no underworld in Yelang Kingdom, and the dead find their own way out."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head: "This is a false rumor. There is indeed an underworld in Yelang Kingdom, but the underworld cultivators are doing nonsense and acting absurdly. They even determine reincarnation based on the number of burials. Ma came here to ask Brother Zhong to send some generals there.
, help Qiancheng Yin Division re-establish rules."
Xu Zhiqiong explained to Zhong Jianxue in detail Qiancheng Yinsi's method of determining reincarnation.
Zhong Jianxue was quite angry when she heard this, but she did not agree to Xu Zhiqiong sending someone there.
"Brother Zhong, helping Qiancheng Kingdom rebuild the Yinsi is also a great achievement, and your achievements will be indispensable."
Zhong Jianxue shook his head and said: "Brother Ma's words are embarrassing to me. What Zhong cares about is not meritorious deeds, but our Taoist sect has laws. Underworld practitioners cannot go to Yelang Kingdom."
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't laugh or cry.
Discrimination against Yelang Kingdom is everywhere, but I didn’t expect that Ming Dao could still be written in the law!
"Brother Ma, let the Ghost Emperor of Yelang Kingdom handle this matter."
Looking for Yelang Ghost Emperor?
Xu Zhiqiong also thought about this matter.
But the underworld cultivators of Yelang Kingdom didn't even know where the Ghost Emperor was.
Moreover, the rules of reincarnation set by Yelang Yinsi's cashiers are not temporary. According to them, they may have been like this for hundreds of years. It is impossible for Yelang Ghost Emperor to be unaware of this. If you want to curb this unhealthy trend, you cannot count on Ghost Emperor.
It’s up to Xu Zhiqiong to set up the correct rules himself.
"Brother Zhong, I don't ask you to send someone to stay in Yelang Kingdom. Just send a few people over to correct their behavior."
Zhong Jianxue pondered for a long time, but finally did not dare to make the decision: "Let's let Senior Xu make the decision."
Xu Zhiqiong followed Zhong Jianxue to the Ghost King's Hall.
Two guards went in to announce the news, and ran back after a while: "Zhong Yanjun, Senior Xu is not here, please come back another day."
These guards were all selected by Zhong Jianxue for Xu Rishu, so they naturally treated Zhong Jianxue with respect.
Zhong Jianxue also believed that they were telling the truth. She turned to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Brother Ma, I will definitely report to my senior what you said."
Xu Zhiqiong didn't leave, but suddenly squatted on the ground and said to a white-haired mouse: "Senior, I'm here to discuss serious matters with you. At least meet me."
"Brother Ma, what are you doing?" Zhong Jianxue was very embarrassed. A group of guards were still watching.
The white-haired mouse turned around and shook its tail at Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a mouse trap from his arms: "Senior, we are really discussing serious matters."
The mouse's white hair stood up, squeaked at Xu Zhiqiong, and then walked into the hall.
Not long after, Xu Rishu's voice came from the hall: "Come in!"
Zhong Jianxue and Xu Zhiqiong quickly entered the hall.
Xu Rishu sat at the head of the hall and asked his attendants to make tea for the two of them. Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of tea and said, "Senior, I'm here to discuss the matter of Qiancheng Yinsi."
Xu Rishu ordered his attendants to leave the hall first, leaving only Xu Zhiqiong and Zhong Jianxue.
"I know about this." When he said this, Xu Rishu looked very blank.
"Qian Cheng Yinsi, determine the reincarnation with the burial money..."
"I also know about this."
"Senior, I would like to take two practitioners of the Underworld to teach them the rules of the Tao."
Xu Rishu shook his head and said: "That place has no rules for a long time, so let's just leave it alone."
"How can we just leave it alone?" Xu Zhiqiong frowned, "Senior, if you don't want to send people there, you should at least inform Qiancheng Ghost Emperor that you can't let your subordinates do whatever they want."
"Qiancheng Kingdom has no ghost emperor for a long time," Xu Rishu smiled bitterly, "If you can't stand their actions and kill all the underworld cultivators in Qiancheng Yin Division, I don't care about their life and death, and I won't do it because of this.
Blame it on you."
"Kill them all, you say so lightly!" Xu Zhiqiong's tone changed.
Zhong Jianxue pulled Xu Zhiqiong and told him to pay attention to his propriety.
Xu Zhiqiong ignored it and continued: "If all the underworld cultivators are killed, will there be any underworld leaders in Qiancheng Kingdom?"
"No, there won't be." Xu Rishu's tone was calm.
"Without the Yinsi, where will the dead souls go? Are they waiting for the Qiancheng Kingdom to be exterminated?"
"It would be better to destroy it."
Xu Zhiqiong knew that Xu Rishu was a star, and knew that he could not use mundane thinking to speculate on his temperament.
"Senior, please teach me how to make a living in the underworld, and I will help them find a way to survive."
Xu Rishu sighed and said: "They have no means of making a living."
"Zhong Yanjun told me that there is food, birds and animals, and gold and silver minerals in the underworld."
Xu Rishu shook his head and said: "Do you know the origin of these? The grain produced in the underworld is blessed by the True God Suzaku, the birds and animals are blessed by the True God White Tiger, the gold, silver, copper and iron are blessed by the True God Canglong.
If there is no god to protect Qiancheng Country, it is a place abandoned by gods."
A place abandoned by God?
Xu Zhiqiong doesn't quite understand this concept.
Xu Rishu continued: "Qiancheng Kingdom doesn't even have judges, and there is no justice there. The cultivation of the underworld depends on the merits of the judges. If the judges are gone, how long can the underworld last?"
Xu Zhiqiong stood up and said: "Qiancheng State has judges, not only judges, but also officials who punish evildoers."
Xu Rishu smiled: "Young man, don't boast. Have you ever seen the Evil Punishment Department of Qiancheng Kingdom? Do you know how big the Evil Punishment Department of Qiancheng Kingdom is?"
"I know," Xu Zhiqiong nodded, "It's as big as a city. I rebuilt the Qiancheng Punishment Department."
Xu Rishu looked at Xu Zhiqiong carefully and found out that he was not joking.
"Hunter, why are you doing this? Thousand Cheng Kingdom? Is it worth it?"
"It is the duty of the Taoist sect," Xu Zhiqiong said, "The cycle of heavenly principles is the duty of my Taoist sect, and the cycle of life and death is the duty of your Taoist sect."
…
Shenjun Hall, Zhen'an Hall.
Fu Ji took out the paintings Xu Zhiqiong had given him and spliced them one by one on the table.
Last time in Shenyan Pavilion, Fu Ji was almost killed by a machine explosion, and this photo was also shattered.
After returning from Shenyan Pavilion, Fu Ji never had the chance to leave the Shenjun Hall. The painting was broken again, and he completely lost contact with Xu Zhiqiong.
According to his speculation, the candlestick will be completed within one day. How should we deal with it then?
On the day of the test, if he cheats again, he will definitely not be able to get through it, and the Lord God will definitely kill him.
The more Fu Ji thought about it, the more frightened he became. He rubbed the broken painting for a long time, but the little doll on the painting did not change at all.
Fu Ji was anxious and uneasy, and suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Fu Ji replied angrily.
"Shangyi Supervisor, the one who gave you the robe."
Fu Ji opened the door and saw a chamberlain standing in front of the door holding a robe, and respectfully handed it to Fu Ji's hand.
Fu Ji had never made any custom-made robes. The washing and repairing were left to the Clothing Bureau and did not need to be dealt with by the Clothing Supervisor.
The chamberlain handed over the robe, turned around and left. Fu Ji took the robe back to the bedroom, looked at it carefully, and found a photograph in the lining.
This was sent to him by Chang De, and Yang Wu felt that his painting was broken.
Fu Ji wiped his cold sweat and realized that his life could be saved.
