The world of Taoism

Chapter 109 Cause and Effect
This man was wearing a black unicorn-patterned dragon robe, with a handsome face and an extremely pale complexion.

The most striking thing is that there is a flame between the man's eyebrows.

This kind of flame is like a birthmark, jumping in the center of the brow.

The man is surrounded by endless darkness
The darkness seemed to be able to swallow even light, and the voices of all living beings came from it.

"Old ghost, you have finally become enlightened, I have been waiting for you for a long time.".The man sighed.

The old ghost looked up at the man, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for decades, Qiuhao."

Qiuhao is Master Qiu's name.

The two met each other 80 years ago.

Back then, Qiu Hao and his younger brother were young, with good strength and talent.

Their master is a well-known big shot, and the two sides have some connections.

The old ghost officially embarked on this path, partly because of the influence of Master Qiu Hao.

So the two have known each other a long time ago, and their friendship is not shallow.

The old ghost looked at Qiu Hao, and said in a slightly surprised tone, "Your situation is not very good now."

"You see it too?"

Qiu Hao smiled bitterly and said: "You should know that we shoulder the mission, and now I'm the only one left, and I'm afraid I won't last long."

Because of this mission, Qiu Hao couldn't get out of this room, and sometimes fell into a coma for a while.

As time passed, Qiu Hao gradually felt a little powerless.

It just happened to sense the old ghost's breath, and after calculating the cause and effect, he called the old ghost over.

"Zhou Xuan is the only descendant left in your line?" the old ghost asked.

The reason why the old ghost came here was because he received news from Qiu Hao.

"Yes, although Zhou Xuan is talented, his strength is still too low to take on the big responsibility."

At this point, Qiu Hao apologized a little: "You have cultivated to this point, enough to build a god's court, seal and guard a city god, and enjoy the incense of all people."

"I called you here this time, you may have to wait a little longer to build the court."

Not everyone can be a city god. The duty of the city god is to protect a territory, to be in charge of the living and the dead, to reward the good and punish the evil, and to live and die.

Only yin spirits with great merit, like old ghosts, are qualified to serve as city gods.

Not every city has a City God.

Qi State 280 years

During the heyday of the dynasty, there were only city gods in major cities, and there were no city gods in other small places.

In a city with a city god, the chaos of demons and ghosts will be minimized.

The old ghost has gone through the most important calamity, and he is surrounded by meritorious light and environmental protection, and all evil is not invading, so he is the best candidate for the city god.

As long as it is reported to the imperial court for the imperial edict, then the city god can be officially obtained.

If it is the city god of Jiangnan County, only the Ministry of Rites is needed, and if it is the city god of the state level, the emperor needs to issue an imperial edict in person.

There has been no state city god in Qi State for 200 years.

However, there are more important things waiting for the old ghost now.

Hearing Qiu Hao's words, the old ghost laughed loudly: "How can it be considered troublesome? This is also one of the responsibilities of the City God. You have persisted for so long as a non-City God. Now is the time for me to take over."

"At the same time, it is also the cause and effect of repaying little friend Zhou Xuan."

This is the responsibility of Qiu Hao's lineage. Now that Qiu Hao's demons have deepened, there is a tendency that he can't bear it now.

The next job should have been passed on to Zhou Xuan.

It's not an order, it's fate.

The old ghost chose to bear Zhou Xuan's karma.

So Qiu Hao decided to let the old ghost take the responsibility for Zhou Xuan for a while.

Of course, Qiu Hao is not something that can be done by force, it is mainly up to the old ghost to make his own decision.

If the old ghost is unwilling, then Qiu Hao will not say anything.

"Let's begin!" said the old ghost.

"Okay!" Qiu Hao nodded, the flames between his brows were beating violently, and they were as red as blood.

The surrounding darkness suddenly expanded in all directions.

For a moment, the whole room was filled with chaotic sounds.

The two seemed to be in the world of mortals. At this moment, the thoughts of all beings flocked to them.

Prayers, cursing, and wailing were heard endlessly.

The thoughts of sentient beings flooded into my mind crazily, and just listening to it made people confused and lost their minds on the spot.

Qiu Hao sat in the darkness, with the red flames covering his whole body, crazily burning the darkness attached to his body.

Where the flames passed, the darkness screamed piercingly, as if alive.

Qiu Hao's face was ferocious. After so many years of pollution, the darkness and Qiu Hao's body became one.

Seeing this, the old ghost opened the Wanmin umbrella.

The golden light shines brightly in the room, and when the golden light touches the darkness, the ice melts immediately.

Strip away the darkness directly.

Then the old ghost turned off the Wanmin Umbrella, and the darkness was included.

The Wanmin Umbrella kept shaking, and the surface of the umbrella kept protruding, as if there were rats running around in it.

The old ghost pinched his fingers and pressed on the umbrella, and the movement finally quieted down.

The old ghost sat on Qiuhao's chair, and his body continuously emitted golden light.

"This thing of yours is quite powerful. If you release it, you may have endless troubles." The old ghost said in surprise.

"Of course, this is an old thing from the previous dynasty, and it gathers a part of the luck of the previous dynasty."

After breaking free from the shackles, Qiu Hao felt much more relaxed.

Qiu Hao looked at his hands and feet in amazement, as if he had never felt so flexible.

"What's your plan next?" the old ghost said, "I can only help you for three years."

"Three years is enough, I'll go out and deal with some things first." Qiu Hao said.

The two explained some things, and Qiuhao walked out the door.

Looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the door, Qiu Hao felt a little excited.

For decades, Qiuhao stepped outside for the first time.

Under the sunlight, Qiuhao's black clothes radiated dazzling light, making him look heroic.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Yun Tianming's figure appeared in front of Qiuhao.

"Master Qiu, you came out?" Yun Tianming was a little surprised.

From the moment Yun Tianming came in, Qiu Hao has been in this room and never took half a step.

Did something happen?Yun Tianming thought to himself.

"Come and walk, how's the situation outside?"

"Now that Japanese pirates are disturbing the coast, I have already sent some people there."

"Who is there?"

"Practice Hongyu, Talisman Sword and Zhou Xuan."

Qiu Hao calculated with his fingers, and said to Yun Tianming: "It seems that a little friend is in danger, anyway, the old man will go and have a look..."

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Hao disappeared in place, leaving only Yun Tianming in a daze.

On the other hand, Zhou Xuan didn't know that the old ghost had borne part of the karma for him.

Zhou Xuan and the others walked in the direction of Jian'an City.

Along the way, I saw the corpses of many bandits, all of them looked terrible. If I guessed right, it should be the trick of the old ghost.

In addition, there are still some fish that slipped through the net, and these people were dealt with by Zhou Xuan.

When everyone came to the river, He Yingning got off his horse and came to the river to fetch water.

"Don't move!" Zhou Xuan stepped forward to stop, "This water is not drinkable."

"What?" He Yingning was confused.

Then following Zhou Xuan's gaze, the scene in front of him almost made He Yingning spit out.

I saw a corpse soaked in the upper reaches of the river. The corpse was swollen all over, forming a giant view. (Promise me, don't search for this word cheaply)
