Chapter 756: Cui Chenghuang Arrives

Although this City God Cui was a marquis in the human world, he had lived a smooth life and had not learned anything about the ways of the world or the tactics of officialdom. He was also very arrogant, so a few words from Yang Shangong led him into what happened today!
When the three of them came out of the mural, they happened to meet Yang Shangong, who was dressed in white and holding a cane, leading a group of ghost officials hurriedly in. When they saw the three of them coming out, they were stunned at first, and then stepped forward and asked,
"My two Taoist friends and City God Cui, what are you doing..."

Cui Chenghuang hated him in his heart, but it showed on his face. He snorted coldly and was about to speak, but Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"We hit it off with Cui Chenghuang right away. We admired each other's abilities, so we entered the magic circle to spar with each other. Haha... everyone had a great time!"

Yang Shangong's eyes swept over Cui Chenghuang's face and body bit by bit, and he smiled slightly and said,

"It's great that the three of you hit it off right away. In the future, when you all move around in this world, you should get closer to each other!"

Let's exchange ideas! I'm afraid this Cui guy had a lot of fun being beaten up!

Cui Chenghuang secretly hated Yang Shangong but couldn't show it, so he put on a forced smile and laughed it off, explained the situation to Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan, and personally sent them away. As for how he bore a grudge against Yang Shangong and tried to trip him up in secret, he naturally didn't mention it.

It was only said that Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan returned home. Gu Shiyi said,
"I thought today's incident could not be resolved peacefully, but I didn't expect it to be resolved so easily!"

Pu Yanlan smiled gently and said,

"We are probably being used as a pawn in this matter. I see that Mr. Yang Shang appears to be polite on the outside, but I'm afraid he is a double-faced person..."

Gu Shiyi was naturally no less shrewd than Pu Yanlan. After thinking about it, he understood the key point and said with a chuckle,

"No matter how they fight, we didn't suffer any loss this time... We got the Demon King..."

Pu Yanlan smiled gently and said,

"I'm afraid there's still a lot of work to be done with this evil ghost king..."

So in the following days, Pu Yanlan went into seclusion to train the Evil Ghost King, and Gu Shiyi continued to raise the child as usual. However, a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Pu Yanlan had not yet come out, but Cui Chenghuang came to visit!

In the middle of the night, a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes arrived at the door of the house in a carriage pulled by two horses. A servant came forward and knocked on the door. The night watchman heard it and came out to open the door. When he saw the middle-aged man, he turned around and ran in. When he saw Gu Shiyi in the backyard, he called out,
"Grandma Gu, go check it out! The enemy is here!"

Gu Shiyi was stunned when he heard this.
"Where did the enemy come from?"

"The guy who trapped our master in the magic circle before and was beaten by grandma is here again!"

"Oh……"

Gu Shiyi understood what he said and laughed.

"What enemy? He's a guest. Go... invite him in to talk!"

The little ghost took the order and led the middle-aged man in soon. When Cui Chenghuang came in, he saw Gu Shiyi sitting in the pavilion in the garden. On the stone table in the pavilion, there was an egg shining with golden light, rolling back and forth. The spirit energy was really rushing to the sky. Cui Chenghuang was dazzled by the intimidating golden light on the mother and son, and hurriedly raised his hand to block it, and said loudly,

"Friend Gu, I am here to visit you!"

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi smiled, reached out his hand to take his son away, and then restrained his breath. Then he went to greet Cui Chenghuang and invited him to sit in the pavilion. The ghosts served him fragrant tea. Cui Chenghuang took a look and saw that there were two kinds of tea, one black and one white. Gu Shiyi's was white porcelain, and the tea was full of spiritual energy, while his black porcelain tea cup was filled with yin energy, and the wisps of cold and yin energy came out.
When Cui Chenghuang saw Gu Shiyi raise his glass, he also raised his own glass, took a sip, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"This tea tastes icy but soothing to the heart. It's good tea! Good tea! Where did you get this good tea?"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"This tea is produced by Yan'er from a mysterious tree in a very gloomy place. We don't usually have guests like Cui Chenghuang here, and we don't know what this tea is like. Today, I would like to ask Cui Chenghuang to taste it..."

Cui Chenghuang nodded repeatedly.
"Good tea... a very rare good tea. Even in the underworld, this kind of good tea is rarely found!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"As long as City God Cui likes it..."

Then he asked about Cui Chenghuang's purpose of coming.

"I wonder what the City God Cui has to offer you?" City God Cui looked around and asked when he didn't see Pu Yanlan.

"How about that fellow Daoist Pu, is here?"

Gu Shiyi smiled and said,

"She is in seclusion now, and I'm afraid she won't be able to come out for a while. If you have anything to say, please tell me directly. We are one, and it doesn't matter whether you talk to her or me!"

"This one……"

Cui Chenghuang pondered for a while before saying,
"I have to talk to Fellow Daoist Gu about this matter..."

After a pause he said,

"Now the turmoil in the Eighteen Realms of Duluo is getting more and more serious. Many cultivators are trying every means to escape. I have received news from the underworld that a large number of ghosts from the Eighteen Realms of Duluo are pouring into the underworld every day. The ghost messengers there are extremely busy. Many nearby realms have dispatched ghost messengers to help. Yang Shangong has already led a group of ghost messengers under his command to go there..."

"Oh...has the situation over there become like this?"

Gu Shiyi frowned, and Cui Chenghuang nodded.
"Several wars broke out among the monks over there, and countless people died. Many mortals died, and many monks died as well. This was because cultivation was popular in that world, and the monks were unwilling to be governed by the underworld after death. So when the ghost officers went to arrest them, many ghosts relied on their remaining Taoist skills and formed groups to fight against the ghost officers..."

Here he sighed,

"Now that all the people in the underworld have been transferred to that world, there are fewer people available in this world... I came here this time to ask for your help!"

"Oh...what happened?"

Gu Shiyi asked curiously, and Cui Chenghuang nodded.
"Something has indeed happened... There are four cultivators ahead of us, who were also teleported to this world from the Eighteen Realms of Duluo just like you two... But unlike you two, those four people were focused on cultivation and didn't cause trouble. As soon as they entered this world, they killed a small sect on the Xiaomi Mountain bordering the Southern Ming Kingdom in the north of the Daqian Dynasty. They killed all 26 people in the sect, including the sect leader and his disciples. They even didn't spare the cook who chopped wood, made fire and cooked in the sect..."

When he said this, his brows were furrowed.

"In theory, this matter is not my responsibility, but now this world is short of manpower, and the ghosts who died unjustly have filed a complaint with Yama, so my king has entrusted the matter to me, asking me to find a way to work with my colleagues in the north to stop these four people from committing crimes in this world!"

"This one……"

Gu Shiyi frowned, thought for a moment and asked,
"City God Cui, there is one thing I don't understand about this matter. I hope you can give me some advice..."

"Fellow Taoist, please speak!"

"Well... don't you only care about the dead and not the living? If they come to this world and kill people, that's the sin of the living people. It has nothing to do with the underworld. You just collect the ghosts and send them to the underworld. Why do you still want to stop them?"

Cui Chenghuang smiled bitterly and said,

"If it is based on common sense, it should be so, but this is not common sense..."

As mentioned before, there are countless creatures in the universe, and their forms are different, but there is a similarity, that is, the jurisdiction of life and death. For example, there are thousands of human worlds, and there are thousands of underworlds, but most of the human worlds are not connected, and each lives its own life, but the underworld is connected to each other, and there are often ghosts coming and going. When people are alive, they are in the world of the living, and when they die, they are in the underworld. From birth to death, how many lives and deaths a living person has, how rich and poor they have been, are all registered and recorded, and their fate is determined. When people in this world die, they will go to the underworld of this world to register, and this is all written in the book of life and death!

But the cultivators from the eighteen realms of Duluo have cultivated magic and reached the great way. Although they have not yet ascended to heaven, they have the ability to travel through all realms. If there are few of them, it would be fine. At most, the underworlds in various places can exchange official letters with each other, transfer data files, and send a little ghost to make a special trip and that will be it!
And if they are like Gu Shiyi and the others, who come to this world and behave themselves, do not kill people at will, do not affect the life and death of the indigenous people, do not cause trouble to the underworld or the emperor of the world, then their private residence in other realms is just a small matter!
Many years ago, there were immortals who built magic circles and traveled back and forth, but the immortals also had rules. They could come and go, but would not stay for long, and therefore would not trouble the underworlds of various realms. But now, there was chaos in the Eighteen Realms of Duluo, and those cultivators who could not bear the chaos in this realm were actively looking for ways to escape. Among the hundred, a few actually found the magic circles for teleportation and escaped to various realms!

This is the inevitable chaos after a world turns from positive to negative. The underworld has also gone through tens of millions of years and is experienced in handling these matters. At most, it will just be busy for a while. But the four cultivators who came this time started killing people after entering this world. Those who should not have died were deleted from the underworld's book of life and death. Not only does the underworld have to rearrange their reincarnations and increase their workload, but these four people are obviously the ones who bring disaster to the world. If they are allowed to become powerful, they will have more lives on their hands and more people will die in vain. The underworld will have a headache!

"Oh, I see!"

Gu Shiyi suddenly understood and thought to himself,
"Sure enough, all the government officials in this world are the same, they are always afraid of trouble!"

It would be fine if it happened just once or twice, but when there are too many things and the impact becomes widespread, even if you want to turn a blind eye, it’s no use!

Cui Chenghuang bowed to Gu Shiyi and said,
"This matter has been ordered by the higher-ups. There is no one in the underworld to come to reinforce them. After all, they are cultivators from the mortal world. We, the ghost messengers from the mortal world, are really limited in our actions. So I thought of you two and would like to ask you to help stabilize this world!"
