Chapter 70 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron Tan Jinxuan is pretending to be confused. Perhaps he did, for some unknown reason, establish the netherworld pure land for all ghost cultivators on both sides of the Jade Belt River, His Majesty Yama, who has infinite life and infinite blessings, and is the chief examiner of the Department of Examination; But he definitely knew the weight of the seven words “son of the Lord of Mount Dadong”. What mountain is Dadong Mountain? The three southwestern states are arranged in sequence, roughly forming the shape of the Chinese character "乚 (yǐ)". The same is true for the direction of Datong Mountain. Translation: Dadong Mountain is a mountain range that runs through the three southwestern states. Its status in the three southwestern states is like the Qinling Mountains in Tao Tie’s previous life. The Lord of Dadong Mountain is the natural mountain god of the Dadong Mountains! If the blurry ghost on the long table is really the son of the Lord of Dadongshan, and was granted Liuxian County by the Lord of Dadongshan, then what it said, that all the ghosts in Liuxian County belong to it, is not false.

Well…… This would be true if the Dadong Mountains had not separated from the Million Mountains more than two hundred years ago, and the three southwestern states had not been incorporated into the territory of the Dayong Dynasty. After all, not all mountain gods can be called "Lord of the Mountain". However, since the three southwestern states have been incorporated into the territory of the Dayong Dynasty, this statement is no longer true. The Celestial Empire has its own national conditions and laws. Good ghosts or evil ghosts, they are all managed by the City God-Land God Underworld Transfer System. Even though the Lord of Mount Dadong still has the innate authority to interfere with the order of the underworld in the three southwestern states due to the special existence of his existence, the descendants of the Lord of Mount Dadong who are enfeoffed in various places can inherit this ability, but they cannot abuse it at will! From a legal perspective, this is illegal. The court would certainly not agree to this. Even if you don't care about it for the time being, you will definitely have to settle it in the future! When Qin Shousheng heard what Tan Jinxuan said, he opened his mouth and was about to say something. But when the words came to his lips, his tiger eyes were covered with a layer of gloom again, and he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. He shook his head, trying to think clearly, but the more he shook, the more confused he became. The shadow in the pair of tiger eyes grew heavier, and the head drooped unconsciously. The blurry ghost figure on the long table stood up at this time, and without seeing how it moved, it suddenly flashed and appeared beside Qin Shousheng. The right hand filled with a hazy ghost aura rested on Qin Shousheng's drooping head. The vague ghost sighed and said with emotion: “Scholars are twisted. Obviously, for the sake of power, they are willing to practice the bullshit fake scriptures I threw out, and borrowed a large sum of money from me. If the interest continues to accumulate, even if he spends several lifetimes as a ghost, he will never be able to pay it back. He finally found a way to pay off the debt, but things got awkward again. Sometimes you are willing to harm others, but sometimes you regret it and don't want to harm others anymore.

Sigh... Tell me, why are you scholars so twisted?" At the end of the conversation, the fuzzy ghost lightly squeezed Qin Shousheng's tiger head with his right hand, looked at Tan Jinxuan who turned around, and asked: "Do you know how much money he owes me? Do you know how much the 'redemption money' for the female ghost you want to marry is?" Hearing this, Tan Jinxuan glanced at Qin Shousheng, who was enduring the pain caused by the vague ghost's squeezing and clenching, and replied frankly: "I don't know." The fuzzy ghost smiled and said, "The principal he owes me is three thousand ghost coins, and the redemption fee is one hundred and eighty ghost coins." Then he asked: "Do you think these two numbers are interesting?" Tan Jinxuan nodded. These two figures are indeed very interesting. The former is what Tan Jinxuan was able to get by selling his entire fortune, and the latter is what Qin Shousheng requested last night. Thinking from this point of view, Qin Shousheng, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly appeared and found Tan Jinxuan. The reason should be that he wanted to seize Tan Jinxuan's wealth to pay off his debts. I don't know why I changed my mind halfway through, but my regret was not thorough enough. It’s really twisted! It's as if he has lost his mind, so he acts in a confused and disorderly manner without any plan. It's a mess and I don't know what it means. It was as if Qin Shousheng had lost his independence and became a ghost-like existence, and his mind could be controlled by vague ghosts or other existences at any time. Therefore, the behaviors before and after are very disconnected. But these are not the main points and there is no need to pay too much attention to them. Everyone has his own path. Since you have made a choice, you have to pay the price and bear the consequences. Tan Jinxuan now only wants to do one thing, and that is to make the blurry ghost reveal his identity in person. And that is its position in the underworld system of the City God of Liuxian County! As long as he accomplished this, he would be able to complete his mission as bait. Then exit according to the established plan and don't stand under the dangerous wall. Boom, boom... The blurry ghost loosened the hand that was squeezing Qin Shousheng's head, tapped it a few times with his fingers, as if he was picking a ripe watermelon before buying it, and asked nonchalantly, "Do you know why I drove Qin Shousheng to find you?" Without waiting for Tan Jinxuan to reply, the blurry ghost asked and answered himself: "Is it because of his ability that Ke Youqiu was able to hold on to the position of City God of Liuxian County? Do not! It’s because I like Him quite a bit, that’s why I didn’t mess with Him! As a result, this old guy actually came to threaten me some time ago, saying that the Celestial Empire has established the Immortal God Bureau. The meaning is self-evident. It must be necessary to restore order and integrate all forces to deal with the upcoming catastrophe. He asked me to restrain myself and not go too far like before! What did I do? All the ghosts in Liuxian County originally belong to me! I sell when I want to, beat when I want to, and kill when I want to! If you want them to make some noise and have some fun, then just have some fun!

Is it too much? What's the point? Not too much! " At this point, the blurry ghost came closer to Tan Jinxuan's face and asked, "Guess what the old guy said?" Then I asked myself again: "That old fellow Ke Youqiu threatened me again, saying that things are different now and that no matter if it's the shitty sword fairy from the Immortal God Department, Huang Junshi, or that stupid woman from the County Literature Department, they're not easy to deal with. He said that if things got out of hand and those two got serious, nothing good would happen to me. And they also say that the example of the Five Evil Gods is right there. Hey... even Miao Zongren, who has been the county magistrate for thirty years but has not been promoted, is thinking of causing trouble for me! " The blurry ghost stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said arrogantly: "I am the son of the Lord of Mount Dadong. In these three southwestern states, as long as the Mount Dadong does not collapse, no one will dare to touch me! I am going to make things worse! I want to see if that damn swordsman Huang Junshi, that stupid woman from the county literature department, and that old bastard Miao Zongren dare to confront me and make me suffer!" After shouting for a while, the blurry ghost leaned over and patted Tan Jinxuan's face, chuckling: "You are an interesting scholar. You are not very good at reading, nor are you very good at cultivating yourself, but you are very good at sex. It is really wonderful that you can improve your cultivation just by having sex with ghosts every day. Guess what is more wonderful?" "what?" Tan Jinxuan finally had the opportunity to interrupt and cooperate. Didn't let the blurry ghost continue to perform a one-man show. The fuzzy ghost smiled and said, "What's even better is that you actually wanted to marry a female ghost in a formal way, and you were so pedantic that you sent a note to the City God and the underworld to ask for approval. You don't know that I was thinking about how to embarrass the damn sword fairy and the stupid woman at that time. When I saw the note you sent me, I thought, isn't it just like I was dozing off and a pillow came?" "Because I am a county scholar of literature and work in the Immortal God Department?" Tan Jinxuan suddenly interrupted the blurry ghost and asked, "So you are thinking of doing something to me so that you can slap the faces of the governor and the teacher at the same time? I am very curious. My note was submitted to the City God Temple Underworld to record and revise the original department. How did you see it? Do you hold a position in the City God Underworld? What position do you hold?" "Are you trying to trick me?" The green eyes of the blurry ghost, hidden in the hazy ghost aura, suddenly stared straight into Tan Jinxuan's eyes, and his voice suddenly became cold, "Why are you trying to trick me?" As he spoke, the blurry ghost immediately used the power of his divine consciousness to bind Tan Jinxuan's soul. He then raised his hands and pressed them on both sides of Tan Jinxuan's forehead, squeezing them hard and asking viciously, "Tell me, why are you trying to trick me? Tell me, what is your intention? Tell me!!!" "what!……" Tan Jinxuan felt a sharp and painful scream in agony. The body lying on the long table twisted and struggled violently. The pain and damage suffered by the soul after it was hatched was reflected in the body in real time. It happened so quickly that in a flash, Tan Jinxuan just didn't say a word and the situation in the side hall changed drastically. The blurry ghost turned his face suddenly and without any warning. The vague ghost who made no secret of his identity as the son of the Lord of Mount Dadong and was bold enough to call himself "Yama Luo" was so secretive about his position in the underworld of the City God that he was extremely secretive. This was something that Tao Tie, who was constantly monitoring the side hall of Manjusri Temple through the five ghosts, had not expected. Around Wushan Temple, Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun, who were spying on the side hall of Manjusri Hall, hid their bodies in their own ways. But this is not the time to think about that.

They must rescue Tan Jinxuan as quickly as possible. With every moment of delay, Tan Jinxuan's soul would be more seriously injured, and his life would be in greater danger. As soon as Tao Tie had an idea, he was about to drive the five little ghosts that had entered his body and spirit through his five senses and underwent a qualitative change, to carry out Tan Jinxuan's soul and body, as well as the ghost Xiaoqian. "Don't panic." Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice sounded in my ears. Without any hesitation, Tao Tie immediately canceled his plan. Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun were obviously also notified and also remained on hold. Instructor Huang appeared beside Tao Tie, and pointed at Tao Tie's brow with his right hand: "Don't rely too much on your eyes, use your heart to see." After receiving the instructions, Tao Tie immediately obeyed, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly, he had an idea and did not use his [Clairvoyance] in reverse like a path dependency, making himself blind. Instead, try to concentrate and regulate your breathing, ignore your vision, ignore your eyes, and your mind will suddenly enter a wonderful state. The whole person suddenly transformed into a "Spring" ghost attached to the azure storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag contained in Tan Jinxuan's soul. This is a completely different perspective. It was like wearing infrared night vision goggles, and seeing things that the naked eye and physical body's supernatural power [clairvoyance] could not see. Through this perspective, Tao Tie saw that the blurry ghost was indeed pinching both sides of Tan Jinxuan's forehead viciously and very hard, but failed to cause any harm to Tan Jinxuan's soul. The reason for this is not that the blurry ghost is acting. Instead, there was a mysterious force enveloping Tan Jinxuan's soul, making it like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water, which looked real but was actually illusory. After understanding this, Tao Tiexin said, "As expected." The gray line of the grass snake, the veins are thousands of miles away. If nothing unexpected happened, Tan Jinxuan's acceptance of the ghost Xiaoqian as his disciple should have been a plan set up long ago by the female teacher of the county literature department who did not want to reveal her name. Including this time, Tan Jinxuan took the initiative to seek help from Tao Tie, which was also a move in the game. As for why he did this, Tao Tie couldn't figure it out for a moment. But there is no need to think it through. You've been mentally prepared for this, haven't you? Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Tao Tie seized the opportunity and took a look at the true faces of the thirteen ghost shadows hidden in the hazy ghostly aura. Just a quick glance and you'll immediately see through the cover. Then he took a deep breath, his mind became confused, and he exited the state of being transformed into a "Spring" ghost. The one who calls himself "His Majesty Yama" and "Chief of the Examination Department" is the Chief of the Prison Department, the lowest position among the Twelve Departments of the City God.

The other twelve ghosts were the chief clerks of the remaining eleven departments of the twelve departments, as well as a strange bald man. Putting aside the identity of this strange bald man, all the important ghosts in the underworld of the City God of Liuxian County, except for the civil and military judges, the two generals with the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Guards, the Day-Wandering God and the Night-Wandering God, as well as the City God Ke Youqiu, are here. This man, who is obviously the son of the Lord of Dadong Mountain, has to be the chief clerk of the prison department, "His Highness Yama" and "Chief of the Examination Department", which is equivalent to catching all the underworld officials of the City God of Liuxian County in one fell swoop. It is entirely possible to set up a new underworld for the City God of Liuxian County at any time. No wonder he kept claiming that all the ghosts in Liuxian County belonged to him. and many more…… "All here?" Tao Tie, who had exited the avatar state, suddenly thought of a possibility. He turned his head to look at Instructor Huang, and without saying a word, his eyes had already expressed the question in his heart. Huang Junshi didn't say anything either, just nodded slightly. The county seat of Liuxian County. County magistrate Miao Zongren stood outside the City God Temple in silence. The County God, Ke Youqiu, sat in the City God's underworld, like a clay puppet, saying nothing. However, the three shifts of county yamen runners in the living world destroyed the statues of the twelve chief officials enshrined in the City God Temple, depriving them of their status as ghosts and gods. Some of the ghost officials in the netherworld, led by the civil judge, the military judge, the ox-headed judge, the horse-faced judge, the day-watchman and the night-watchman, searched the public offices and private residences of the chief officials of the twelve departments. In other words, the living world and the netherworld took action together, taking advantage of the fact that the son of the Lord of Mount Dadong, who called himself "the Chief of Examination for Corruption", was out with all his team, leaving the rear empty, and destroyed his lair! The positions of ghosts and gods were stripped away, and the chief officials of the twelve departments in the side hall of the Manjusri Hall of Wushan Temple, including the son of the Lord of Dadongshan, immediately felt the impact. "what happened?" "How dare they?" "How ridiculous! He is so rebellious!" The chief clerk of the Eleventh Department, who had been silent the rest of the time and only spoke in agreement when the son of the Lord of Mount Dadong needed it, suddenly lost his composure and started shouting. The strange bald man was very good at maintaining his energy. He did not panic, but just stood up quietly. The son of the Lord of Mount Dadong, who had been torturing Tan Jinxuan's soul, was also extremely shocked at this moment. For a moment, he was unable to accept such a sudden change and the impact it brought. Why did Ke Youqiu, that old turtle, and Miao Zongren, that old bastard, dare to join forces to deal with Him like this? Aren’t you afraid that he will report it to your father, the Lord of Mount Dadong? Even if we don't have time to file a complaint for the time being, aren't we afraid that he will stir up the earth veins of Liuxian County and cause an earthquake? "Your Highness Yama" and "Chief of the Examination Office" were stunned and could not come back to their senses for a long time. Even Tan Jinxuan's soul didn't know how to break free from the restraints and returned to the body, and quietly took the ghost Xiaoqian and Qin Shousheng with a tiger head and a human body, and left the side hall of the Manjusri Temple without being noticed. He was deeply immersed in that question, unable to understand why Miao Zongren and Ke Youqiu, who had been dormant for thirty years, especially Ke Youqiu, dared to suddenly turn against each other! "Are you ready?" Outside Wushan Temple, Huang Junshi withdrew his gaze from Dadong Mountain and spoke to Tao Tie in a gentle tone.

ready? What to prepare? what to prepare? For a moment, Tao Tie was unable to follow Instructor Huang's train of thought. But there was no time to think about it. Huang Junshi just waved his sleeves lightly, and Tao Tie fell into the side hall of Manjusri Temple and landed in front of the stunned son of the Lord of Dadong Mountain. The chief clerk of the Eleventh Department and the strange bald man disappeared from the hall and came to a place not far in front of Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun. It is a good thing for young people to want to achieve meritorious service. Whether as a teacher or a leader, we should help others to achieve their goals. In that case, let’s fight each other. He has accomplished a great feat that no one can question. What's the point of always thinking about taking advantage of the situation, bullying others, and taking shortcuts? The way of the sword immortal is focused on killing. You old bastard, you can’t master the Taiyi Fenguang Sword! Huang Junshi had selective amnesia at this moment and forgot the fact that he had not fought in many fights. (End of this chapter)
