Chapter 323: Soul-Seizing Division Nathan Road Branch! (Subscribe!)
Yin Yang Road.

Zhao Zheng landed on the forest path and looked around. He found that the Yin-Yang Road in this world was a little different from that in the main world.

The distance was not as gray and unclear as in the main world, but rather a little dim, as if night had fallen, and the visibility was very large.

"Hey, it has positioning, but why doesn't it go to the underworld? It's a bit troublesome for ordinary people to go up and down to the underworld."

Zhao Zheng looked at the word "Fanmo" on his right palm, which lit up red when he approached a certain direction. He asked himself questions and answered them himself, studying the core of the word "Fanmo" as he walked.

After a few minutes, he frowned and stopped studying. It was not that the word "Fanmo" was too difficult. On the contrary, the structure of the word "Fanmo" was very simple.
Spells like soul separation, soul trapping, and sunshade are all very simple, and there are some differences from the main world, but not much.
But you will learn it if you study it.

He just didn't understand the key core, such as the spells involved that far exceeded control, soul calming, soul guiding, and guidance.
It's not that he doesn't know these spells. On the contrary, he knows all of them, but they are different and triggered in different ways.

The spell in this anti-death word is obviously more convenient.

It can be roughly referred to that when Zhao Fan suddenly wanted to sleep in Fortune Comes, he actually received an order to go to the underworld to take on the soul-catching mission.

"Does the lower-level priesthood of Yincha have inherent abilities?"

Zhao Zheng pondered. In his opinion, Zhao Fan, who had the word "Anti-Death" in his hand, could actually be considered a ghost messenger from the underworld. It was just that Zhao Fan's position as a ghost messenger was a fragmented one.
It was secretly assigned to me by my superiors.

"Let's go to the place where the word 'anti-death' is directed and have a look. I'll then see what the benefit that suddenly came to my mind is."

With his right hand pointing the way, Zhao Zheng soon came to a relatively better road. Originally, he just wanted to see the road.
However, when he arrived at Yin Yang Road, he felt that this trip seemed to be beneficial. After walking for a while, he saw seven men and women walking in front of him with bloody death words on their left hands and dull expressions.

It's not that there's something wrong with these men and women, but the word "death" has its own enchanting effect. Zhao Zheng ignored it and continued to move forward.
About ten minutes later,
Zhao Zheng saw a few... buildings, seven stories high with courtyards, with neon signs on them that read,

The Soul Hunting Center on Nathan Road, Tsim Sha, Yau Tsim District.

Looking at the guards at the door wearing clothes with the word "zu" written on them, Zhao Zheng's mouth twitched a few times, thinking to himself that it was really modern.
Walk to the front door.

"Where's the pass?"

A ghost soldier stepped forward and stopped Zhao Zheng to ask him questions. Zhao Zheng showed the word "反殁" on his right hand with a blank expression and it was glowing red.

The ghost waved his hands in disdain.

"go in."

Zhao Zheng didn't say anything and went in directly. After Zhao Zheng went in, another ghost soldier scratched his head and asked, "Is the street-level ghost order in his hand written upside down? And why is it in his right hand?"

“No…I guess.”

"No? You can't be illiterate?"

"Who said that? I, Lao Niu, was well-educated when I was alive."

"Picture books don't count, especially those with pictures."

"..."

Lao Niu's face turned red, and for a moment, a cheerful atmosphere rang out at the door, especially the ghost who spoke, his eyes narrowed with laughter.

inside the hospital,

"Street-level orders? Could there be township-level orders?" Zhao Zheng complained in his heart as he listened to the laughter outside the door.

He glanced at the sign in front of him saying "Meeting point of Soul Hunting Division's Nathan Road Branch" and turned to look at two people drinking tea and playing cards under a parasol at the entrance of the Soul Hunting Division's Nathan Road Branch office lobby.
Or,

Two evil spirits, one fat and one thin.

No, why are there only two Yincha? !

Zhao Zheng glanced around. Yes, there really were only two ghost messengers. What was going on? Are these buildings fake? Confused, he looked at the empty buildings around him. He walked towards the two of them. Before he got close, he heard their voices.

"Old Wei, do you think that the soul-collecting messenger plan we are responsible for will eventually pass the review of the higher-ups?"

"It should be fine. Didn't our superiors praise our good performance recently?"

"That's right. The last time I saw Master Qi, he said that I could defeat ten people by myself, so let's work harder."

The fat Yincha said with a beaming smile, and at the end he said "eight", and threw the cards in his hand.

"Seventh Master praised you..."

The thin and gloomy messenger looked at the cards in his hand and said "no" with a frown.

Fatty Yin almost nodded and said, "Yes, he also said that we should work hard and that there will be a place for the two of us as the Grand Judge in the future."

"Seventh Master...really...if that's the case..."

"Yes, hey, why do I feel that you are very unhappy? Master Qi has praised us, why are you still unhappy?"

"Because this compliment is not real."

A voice suddenly sounded. The fat Yinchai stood up alertly and shouted who it was, then looked towards where the voice came from.

What caught my eye was a handsome man who looked like an immortal, and the Three Mountains Alliance Seal in his hand.
As well as the three magic scrolls and the scroll position that flashed by behind Maoshan's head. Although the scroll position flashed by,

But because Zhao Zheng did not cover it up, the information inside was instantly seen by the two Yincha, which was roughly as follows:

The ninth-rank Right Judge of Tianshuyuan, concurrently the Right Judge of Quxieyuan, concurrently the ninth-rank Selected Jinshi of Zhengtaiji Palace, the Left Judge of Wuleiyuan, concurrently the ninth-rank Right Prime Minister of Shangqingshilu, concurrently the ninth-rank Taiping Fuhua Dianzhe Shenxiao Chuanli, concurrently the ninth-rank Hunyuanzhang...

Damn it,
This... position...

The fat and thin Yincha were stunned for a moment, and the thin Yincha hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Wei Xiao, the deputy chief of the Soul Hunting Division's Nathan Road branch, greets you, the real person."

"Yan Rong, the chief clerk of the Soul Hunting Division stationed at Nathan Road, has seen the real person, but he doesn't know why the real person came."

The fat ghost messenger also hurriedly saluted and said that they would not bother to deal with ordinary Taoist priests, but this one was not ordinary.
Without mentioning those oracle positions,

Just... Zhao Zheng's appearance is not ordinary,
Right, that is it.

"Are you the deputy chief clerk?"

Zhao Zheng looked at the ghost Wei Xiao strangely. The ghost Yan Rong felt offended when he heard this. What do you mean he is the deputy chief clerk? !

The ghost Wei Xiao glanced at Yan Rong and was about to speak when he was interrupted. Zhao Zheng raised his right hand and asked, "Whose ghost order is this?"

Zhao Zheng sat down on a small stool next to the table and showed the word "death" in his right hand. Then he picked up two Yinchai cards, looked at them and put them down.

"Master, this is me... I..."

The ghost Wei Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but he was a little panicked. What the hell, he had never met Zhao Zheng, so how could he be given the street-level ghost order? !

"Oh."

Zhao Zheng's right hand flashed with five-colored light, shattering the word "anti-death". He picked up the teacup on the table, but before he could pour it, Yincha Yanrong came over with a smile on his face and poured tea, saying, "My lord, please have some tea."

"I heard that you have strict management over the soul-catchers? If you can't catch a soul, they will die. Is the underworld so strict now?"

Zhao Zheng thanked him and asked. Wei Xiao and the others looked at each other blankly. After confirming that the other party did not do it, they said in unison: "Master, this matter may be a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding? Tell me more..."

Zhao Zheng picked up the teacup and took a sip. His eyes lit up slightly. The ghost Wei Xiao's eyes moved slightly. The two began to explain.
Basically, it is true that they manage the soul-catchers strictly, but they will not kill them if they fail to capture the souls.
Unless it's intentional, they'll just get whipped a few times. Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong. By the way, the soul-hunting in the underworld now relies on soul-hunting messengers?"

"no……"

The ghost messenger Wei Xiao explained that the soul-catcher was just a new plan introduced by the higher-ups to lighten the ghost messenger's workload, just like the reincarnation beads that had been introduced for many years.

Although the Soul Catcher Program is being piloted in other areas besides his, the rules are not so strict that if the soul cannot be captured, the person will be killed. This is not only inhumane,

Not a ghost either.

"Reincarnation Pearl?"

Zhao Zheng asked curiously, thinking of the movie "Ghost Invasion of the Underworld" starring Fatty Hong and Crow. The ghost Wei Xiao said thoughtfully.

"Could it be that the real person is from the mainland?"

Seeing Zhao Zheng nod, the ghost messenger Wei Xiao hurriedly continued to explain what the reincarnation bead plan was and why the reincarnation bead plan was being implemented.
The reason for promoting it is very simple, it is to reduce the increasingly heavy tasks of the underworld's ghost messengers. There is no other way, there are too many people who want to reincarnate.

The plan of the reincarnation bead is different from the plan of the street and town level Yincha of the development of the soul-catching messenger. The reincarnation bead emphasizes one person's death and one person's life. Of course, in addition to this point,

There is another difference between the two. That is, the Samsara Pearl is an old project and has already covered the whole of Hong Kong. Zhao Zheng looked surprised when he heard it.

"Is the yincha so busy?"

After asking, he knew that he had asked in vain. Wei Xiao and the others smiled bitterly, and Yincha Yan Rong said helplessly: "It's more than busy now. Master, you may have just come from the mainland..."

"...You go to the hospital and see how many newborns died before they were born. And what about those slaughterhouses and farms..."

"Yes, but to be honest, we ghost masters are still relatively good. Those demon soul masters are really a bit of a help..."

The ghost messenger Wei Xiao also agreed with a wry smile, and at the same time he was somewhat relieved that he was a reincarnation messenger, not a demon soul messenger.

He had heard from his colleagues that some demon soul masters were so angry about those farms that they went straight into reincarnation. Zhao Zheng thought about how those demon soul masters looked at the fish, chickens, etc. that had just returned from reincarnation, and said with a strange look on his face.

"Can you two help me dismiss Zhao Fan from his post... Um... Wait, does the Samsara Pearl have a Samsara Envoy?"

"No……"

Wei and Xiao shook their heads. Zhao Zheng nodded, smiled and clasped his fists, saying, "Please help me, the two ghost messengers, and help me dismiss the soul-collecting messenger Zhao Fan."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Wei Xiao nodded quickly, took out a notebook from his arms and made a mark with a brush. Zhao Zheng glanced at the red dot disappearing on his palm, stood up and said, "Thank you two Yincha for your help this time. Don't worry, your help will not be in vain. I will give you some small gifts later."

"How dare I, how dare I..."

The two of them spoke quickly, watching Zhao Zheng leave. The ghost messenger Wei Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Master, please stay. I just remembered that your friend came here once and asked me to give you something when I saw you."

"friend?"

"Correct."

After saying this, the ghost messenger Wei Xiao hurriedly ran into the building, which made the ghost messenger Yan Rong stunned. No, I don’t think you know this real person.

After a while, Wei Xiao ran out with a gift box and handed it to Zhao Zheng respectfully. Zhao Zheng took it and opened it.

Looking at the tea leaves in the bamboo box, as well as some blood-red incense and some jade stones with spiritual energy, he smiled at Wei Xiao and said, "It's a good gift. This friend is thoughtful. I wonder if this friend left any message?"

Seeing Zhao Zheng accepting the gift box with a smile, the ghost messenger Wei Xiao nodded quickly and said, "Please come in and have a chat with me, Master."

Watching the two of them enter the office, Yan Rong looked puzzled, still wondering how Wei Xiao knew Zhao Zheng's friend.

"Hey, this guy has bigger cards than me, how can he say he lost? Did he read the wrong cards?" Yan Rong came to the table and looked at the cards in Wei Xiao's hand.

Just as he was wondering, he heard Wei Xiao's anxious voice from behind him: "Fatty, come with me, we'll go down first."

"Ah? Why are you going down there? Hey, why is there so much dust on your legs? Hey, what are you holding in your hand? How did you put it away? What did you hold just now? Let me see..." Yan Rong did not continue talking, but was taken to the underworld by Wei Xiao.

outside,

Zhao Zheng looked back at the Soul Hunting Center on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha, Yau Tsim District, and thought to himself that there were many smart people... oh, or should I say, there were many smart ghosts.

Then he took out a stack of envelopes. The content of the letter was simple: a letter of introduction written by him as the 70th generation disciple of Maoshan.
He prepared more than just hundreds of mounted paper memorials for filing complaints. He also prepared a lot of other things, such as letters of introduction and letters asking for help.

Thinking about Wei Xiao who knelt down as soon as he was told to, Zhao Zheng put away the envelope and began to understand why Zhao Fan had died.
It is not wrong to say that the Soul Catcher has strict rules, but they are not the current rules, but the rules that will be followed later.

It sounds a bit confusing, but to put it simply, Zhao Fan's death was purely due to the changes in the Soul Catcher project.

Just like what Yan Rong said, Qi Ye praised them for doing a good job, saying that one person is worth ten people, but it really is one person worth ten people.

What should be done with all the ghost officials in the underworld? Should they all be transferred to civilian positions? Come on, there are many departments under the Seventy-two Departments, but they can't accommodate so many people.

Therefore,
The Soul Catcher's project was doomed to fail.

To put it simply, if the Soul Catcher really develops, it will seriously affect the official status of most of the underworld's Yin officials.

Therefore, the Soul Catcher is destined to fail to develop.

He was certain of this when Wei Xiao gave him gifts and knelt down to beg for help, and when he learned that the others had taken leave.

If he hadn't come, A'long's father, Zhao Fan, would still have died for trying to stop another soul-catcher from taking A'de's soul.

Of course, the real cause of death was that the Soul Catcher project was doomed to fail. It sounds absurd,
But it is what it is.

Just like Admin, a stuntman, knew that he couldn't jump off a building when wearing a skirt, but he still jumped off the building under the order of his boss.

Then Lin Zhenying accidentally stopped A-Long from going to collect souls, causing A-Long to break the rules of the soul-collector.

Then he saved A-Long, but ended up turning himself into a soul-catcher, huh? Zhao Zheng looked a little puzzled.
The question is, the rule is that if the soul-catcher fails to capture the soul, he will die. How did the Taoist Qianhe who sells stinky tofu know this?
Zhao Zheng's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

understood,

Have background.

"Hey, why did I suddenly have this idea? Could it be that this Taoist priest Qianhe who sells stinky tofu is not simple?" Zhao Zheng's eyes were thoughtful.

Forgive his poor memory, he really didn't find that Taoist Qianhe had played any unusual roles, and they were basically all because of my incompetence...

"The murderer list? Is this Taoist priest Qianhe who sells stinky tofu related to the murderer list?" Zhao Zheng followed his inner intuition and thought of the murderer list movie.
At the same time, I also thought of Task 1.

After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Zhao Zheng found that he couldn't figure out the trick for a while, so he took out a booklet given by Wei Xiao and flipped through it.
The name of the booklet is "The Method of Splitting the Soul". It does not refer to splitting the original soul, but rather a method of splitting the priesthood to develop subordinates and create soul-catchers.

"Split...the priesthood..."

Zhao Zheng looked thoughtful and felt that there was something to do. No wonder he felt that there were benefits when he came to Yin Yang Road.

Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand and pointed his finger at the sky. A dark white sword energy flew out and cut out a passage to the world of the living.

Then he flew in, and saw the ghosts guarding the gate with a look of astonishment. No, no, they were ghosts, so,
This is meeting people!!!
"This guy is a... big guy."

A ghost soldier swallowed his saliva and spoke tremblingly. After he finished speaking, several people looked at each other and started to isolate Lao Niu, who was the one who checked Zhao Zheng's secret order at the beginning.

Lao Niu: …………

…………

world,

Lin Zhenying's home.

"Just don't blame me."

Zhao Zheng, who had just arrived home, shook his head in the face of Zhao Fan and others' thanks. As he said before, the soul-collecting messenger is very bad for cultivators.

But for ordinary people, being a soul-catcher is actually quite good. If you are not unlucky, you can accumulate good deeds and seek reward in the next life, which is also good for your descendants.

"how come……"

Zhao Fan immediately shook his head. Being a soul-catcher sounds very glamorous, but in reality, it's just listening. He is as tired as a dog every day.
He doesn't even have a salary. If the other party hadn't beaten him every time he wanted to resign... to keep him, he would have resigned long ago.

A-Long and the other two were different. On the one hand, they complained that Zhao Fan had concealed the matter of the soul-catching messenger from them, and on the other hand, they excitedly asked if they had seen any female ghosts or goblins.
Zhao Fan looked at A Long and the others with an unhappy expression: "Yes, do you want the female ghost who lost half her head in a bicycle accident? I know where she is."

He was not making this up, he really knew where the female ghost was, but he was wondering why no one went to hunt for her soul.

"No, no need..."

A-Long and the other man quickly shook their heads and waved their hands to refuse, saying that they were not worthy of it. Lin Zhenying looked at Zhao Zheng curiously as he sat down on the sofa and said, "Zu... A-Zheng, how did you do it?"

"Ask the underworld officer to help and dismiss him from his post."

"Hmm? ...That's it? That's all?"

Lin Zhenying stared at Zhao Zheng who hadn't said anything else and was stunned. Zhao Zheng rolled his eyes and said, "What else? What else do you want from me?"

"..."

"Fighting and killing are not good."

"..."

"Yes, it's mind reading!"

"..."×4
Zhao Fan and the other three swallowed their saliva and subconsciously moved away from Zhao Zheng. Zhao Zheng looked at Lin Zhenying, who had also taken a half step back, with disdain.
Lin Zhenying clenched his fist and coughed, ignoring the disgust in Zhao Zheng's eyes, silently took half a step forward and returned to his original position.

"Cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, it also involves the ways of the world."

Zhao Zheng said as he took out the gift box, placed it on the table in front of the sofa and opened it, revealing the blood-colored incense sticks and the tea leaves in the bamboo box.
As well as some jade and other things, Lin Zhenying, Zhao Fan and others were stunned. So, are you sure it wasn't a ghost asking you for help?
Why does it feel like your trip to the underworld is like purchasing goods?
Lin Zhenying's eyelids twitched as he looked at the yin energy emanating from the wooden box. Zhao Fan and the other two did not twitch their eyelids, but stared blankly at the three pieces of silver that Zhao Zheng suddenly handed over. Although they were of different styles,

But without exception, they are all valuable jade pendants.

"Here, one for each of you."

Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand, motioning the three to take it. Ade took it with a smile and shouted "Thank you, Grandmaster". Lin Zhenying's mouth twitched.
He secretly thought it was shameful, and at the same time, he looked at the two remaining jade pendants with spiritual energy in Zhao Zheng's hand with slightly widened eyes.
The kind that can become a magical weapon with a little bit of training.

he wants,
But the quantity is wrong.
So, what about mine? Lin Zhenying's inner villain was shouting wildly, but on the surface he remained silent, focusing on saving face.

Looking at the jade pendant handed over by Zhao Zheng, Zhao Fan and A Long looked at each other and shook their heads. Zhao Zheng was the ancestor of Lin Zhenying and his son.
Others can accept gifts, but they can’t. They have no relationship with Zhao Zheng, so this is a little... inappropriate.

"No means you don't give me face..."

Zhao Zheng spoke with a smile. As for why he gave the jade pendants to A Long and the other two, the reason was that there was no reason, the main point was that he gave them whenever he wanted.

"This……"

Aaron, you look at me and I look at you...
