When the Nantong Earth God heard these words from the Thunder God in the sky, he immediately remembered.
More than a hundred years ago, when I was an old ghost, I occupied an abandoned earth temple in Nantong Village in order to practice spiritual practice, and transformed into the land there to earn incense and worship it.
However, at that time, the Tutu Temple had been deserted for a long time, and no one worshiped it. Even the wild ghosts and gods who passed by were unwilling to settle in the ruined temple.
After staying there for a while, I felt hungry because there was no incense to offer, so I was ready to leave.
But who would have expected that one summer, he learned from a water monster in the canal that the canal upstream was flooded and would soon submerge Nantong Village.
The land of Nantong was kind-hearted, and kindly entrusted it to the people of Nantong Village in dreams, allowing them to take refuge.
On that day, it was true that more than a hundred people escaped the disaster because they believed in their dreams. Of course, there were also many people who did not believe their dreams and drowned in the flood.
middle.
So what Thor said is not false.
There are indeed hundreds of Nantong Earth Gods alive, which is a great merit. It is also because of the incense in the Earth Temple after his death that he has a place to live. He started from an old ghost wandering around and became a god.
The journey gradually led to today's achievements.
If he hadn't taken refuge with the ghost foreman that year, he believed that he would still be working as a landowner in Nantong Village.
"Nantong Land, this god's punishment for you is appropriate enough. You have to ask the saint for his opinion on whether you can be forgiven. You followed other evil ghosts to extort the saint's incense and offered it as an offering, and the result is cause and effect. This matter is not something that this god can decide." Heaven.
The thunder god said majestically.
"Thank you to the God of Thunder in the sky for your kindness. The little god is very grateful." Nantong God escaped from death and was overjoyed at this moment.
It turns out that the oath he made was not a guarantee of death, but a glimmer of hope.
When the God of Thunder kills evil spirits, he does not do so ruthlessly or indiscriminately. Instead, he judges whether you will be killed based on good and evil.
The survival of Nantong God gave the remaining evil ghosts hope of living. They were originally in despair and had no choice but to wait for death, but now they feel that they still have a chance to survive.
The sage did not deceive or tease himself or other ghosts.
However, the God of Nantong is just a special case, and not all evil ghosts have such great merits and good deeds that the God of Thunder can spare them.
Li Xiuyuan walked ashore carrying the unconscious girl Qiurong. He saw that the water in the river had surged, and the time had come for the Eight Kings and the Yangtze River King upstream to cut off the canal.
But before that, as thunder struck down and the evil ghost screamed, the subordinates of the ghost foreman had been basically executed by the God of Thunder.
"Oh, are there only a few ghosts and gods left?" Li Xiuyuan took a look.
Only a few dozen ghosts and gods survived, and the rest were all dead.
Most of them are beautiful ghosts and water monsters that the ghost foreman plundered from all over the place. Like Xiao Xie, they were previously locked in bamboo tubes and buried in the mud at the bottom of the river. However, the God of Thunder cast a spell and shattered the bamboo tubes to release them.
It’s just a detained female ghost, and as a subordinate of the ghost foreman who hasn’t been killed yet,
There is only one Nantong God.
"Who is the God of Nantong?"
Li Xiuyuan's eyes turned around and stayed on him.
"The little god pays homage to the saint." God Nantong bowed down respectfully, trembling in his heart.
Li Xiuyuan said: "You don't have to worship me, and I won't bless you even if you worship me. Since the thunder god in the sky won't kill you, then I will naturally let you go according to my previous promise. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped.
There is cause and effect between you and me. Today you blackmailed me for my incense skills and conspired with other water ghosts.
Harm my subordinates and take them two away. If you want to atone for your sins, then work for me. When you wash away your sins and start to have merit in your life, we will be completely clean."
"The little god is willing to serve the saint." Nantong God said hurriedly.
He knew that his survival was entirely due to a momentary act of kindness back then. How could he not cherish such a hard-earned opportunity to survive?
He still had fresh memories of how miserable Gui Er and Gui San were killed by thunder.
"Very good, let me ask you to do one thing first. Who picked the white lotus in my backyard? Find it for me. I have sealed the cultivation of that banshee, and the evil spirit is no longer visible. At this moment, the river begins to flow.
I don't have time to look for her anymore. That White Lotus is an extraordinary monster. If you don't care about it, something will happen sooner or later.
There will be trouble." Li Xiuyuan said.
He kills ghosts first and saves people later, so he doesn't worry too much about the banshee.
Now that I'm leaving, I can't leave the banshee alone.
"The little god knows where the lotus is, so he will fetch it for the sage."
Nantong Shen hurriedly responded, stood up respectfully, then turned around and submerged into the swollen river, swimming towards the mansion sunk at the bottom of the water.
"As for you..." Li Xiuyuan looked at the group of female ghosts whose heads popped up in the water.
Their faces showed fear, misery, and surprise after being rescued, to name a few. However, looking at their figures and faces, they were all top-notch beauties during their lifetimes. Judging from their clothing, they were not the same as today's.
A lady from the previous dynasty.
"The ghost foreman knows how to enjoy himself. I don't know what means he used to recruit so many sexy ghosts. No wonder it's difficult to be a human being in this world. It's better to be a ghost. Being a human being not only has to be exploited by the court and harmed by evil spirits, but also has to work hard to support his parents.
, to raise a wife and children... but to be a ghost only requires
If you use some incense to provide food and clothing, if you have the Taoism, you can occupy a mountain and become the king, recruit some subordinates, murder some women, and capture the souls to serve as wives, concubines, and maids. It is simply more comfortable than a prince."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly: "This kind of world is wrong. How can we let those evil ghosts and evil gods take over?"
"Thank you very much for the young master's life-saving grace. Although I have become a ghost, I am still willing to work as a slave to repay the young master for your great kindness."
"The little girl is able to escape from the sea of suffering today. I only ask this young master not to abandon us. Please also give the little girl a way to survive. Even if she is a cow or a horse, she is willing to do so."
"Thanks to my benefactor for saving me today, I think I still have some beauty, so I am willing to serve my benefactor till the end of my life."
These naughty ghosts showed their touching gestures one after another, and expressed their willingness to serve and serve Li Xiuyuan, and they were also willing to be slaves and maids.
Xiao Xie on the side couldn't help biting his lip when he saw this, feeling a little resentful.
The beauty of some of the female ghosts made her very envious.
Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "You don't need to make such a gesture. I am different from the Ghost Foreman. I did not kill him to replace him, so you don't have to worry about what I will do to you. Since you have not been killed by the thunder god in the sky,
It shows that you are all women with good intentions who are being persecuted.
Ghosts, if I can, I will send you to the ghost town of the underworld. Whether you are reincarnated or you continue to stay in the underworld, it is up to you."
"Don't stay in the mortal world any longer."
The beautiful female ghost was very ashamed when she heard this and said: "What I just said made my benefactor laugh. My benefactor is of noble virtue, but I actually thought that my benefactor was greedy for beauty and wanted to take us in, so she expressed her loyalty."
, in order to be safe."
Li Xiuyuan said: "You have no moral character. Your beauty and intimate gestures are the basis of your survival. How can I laugh at you because of this?"
"Now I will open the passage to the underworld for you..."
But as soon as this thought came up, he felt that he could already communicate with the underworld.
His eyes moved slightly.
moment.
A ferocious hole opened up on the canal, and a dim, desolate place appeared like a mirage.
"Is it the power of Lord Yama's divine power... to open the Netherworld channel at will and connect the Yin and Yang worlds?" Li Xiuyuan immediately understood in his heart.
He tried it again, and with a thought in his mind, the place connecting to the underworld flashed by like a fleeting horse.
"You can connect to any place in the underworld at will. Lord Yan's divine power is more special than I thought." Li Xiuyuan stabilized the passage and finally fixed it on a ghost city outside the ghost gate.
The ghost town was majestic and huge, stretching for hundreds of miles.
There are tall city walls, exquisite palaces, strict lobbies, and terrifying torture chambers...
"The ghost city that Li Zhong is responsible for building is indeed good, but there are too many evil ghosts in the world. How can we not be happy about arresting them to build a ghost city?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
He opened the Yin and Yang channel and reached the sky above the ghost town.
