"Hey, what are you doing? We were just talking, why are you suddenly going to fight?"

Chu Yang pretended to be startled and hurriedly retreated.

He was not worried about being caught by these little ghosts. It would be a good thing if he was really captured.

The identity of a prisoner made it easier for people to relax their vigilance and it was more convenient for him to understand the situation of Xiefeng Village and even the current situation in the underworld.

"Come here, idiot!"

Several little ghosts rushed forward, and there was no need for the one-eyed dragon to do anything. They knocked Chu Yang to the ground in a few moves and tied him up with iron chains.

All of them were fierce ghosts. Chu Yang resisted clumsily for a few times, and then he was captured smoothly.

This process did not surprise the one-eyed dragon. He laughed and called to his little ghosts: "Take this kid with you, let's go!"

"One-eyed boss, are we going back now?"

A little ghost asked.

The one-eyed dragon waved his hand carelessly: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Let's go catch a new batch of ghosts. Do you think you will complain about the fact that we have collected too much incense?"

A ghost next to him immediately agreed: "That's right. Anyway, it's still early. Let's go ahead and search for it. If we catch a few hundred good ghosts, we can also earn more incense."

This conversation made Chu Yang confused. What do you mean by catching ghosts and earning incense?

What is the situation in the underworld now? What are these bandits in Xiefeng Village robbing?

Chu Yang was a little confused, so he pretended to struggle desperately and shouted foolishly: "Hey, hey, hey, let me go, why are you arresting me, I didn't do anything bad!"

"Hahaha, silly boy... you didn't do anything bad, but you have so many merits and incense on you, we can't let this thing go, you just follow us obediently today."

The one-eyed dragon seemed to be in a very good mood. He put the tied Chu Yang on the horse's back, and then he also climbed on the horse, and started to move towards the crack of the ghost gate with a few evil ghost brothers.

Ghosts are all energy bodies, and so is Chu Yang's incarnation. The two of them riding together did not cause any burden to the ghost horse. The riding speed of the one-eyed dragon and his gang was no different from before.

Chu Yang did not care about his identity as a captive, nor did he care that he was hung on the horse's back like a cargo. He was still trying to find out what the one-eyed dragon said.

"What is merit incense? What merit incense do I have? How come I don't know it?"

The one-eyed dragon was in a good mood, and he patiently explained to Chu Yang: "You don't know about incense? Don't you need to offer incense, candles and paper money when someone dies in your family? Don't you need to worship your ancestors? These things are incense. The higher your merits in life, the more incense bonus you can receive..."

After listening to the one-eyed dragon's explanation, Chu Yang knew what the incense they were talking about was.

This is actually a kind of wish power energy, which is similar to the incense received in the temple.

It's just that ordinary ghosts can only receive offerings from their family members and descendants, unlike the righteous gods and wild gods in the temple, who can collect this energy widely through the temple's golden body.

So incense is basically meaningless to ordinary ghosts.

Chu Yang asked curiously: "I know these incense, but doesn't everyone have this thing? Why do you want my incense?"

"What else can I do? Of course, I use it for cultivation."

"Cultivation?"

Chu Yang was even more confused.

Incense can be used for cultivation, he would not doubt this, because incense itself is also a kind of energy, the same as spiritual energy.

But the effect of using incense to cultivate is definitely not as good as spiritual energy.

These ghost cultivators in the underworld need to use incense to cultivate, obviously the spiritual energy in the underworld has reached the point of being exhausted, so that they have to change their cultivation methods and reduce a level.

No wonder when Chu Yang just came down, he felt that the spiritual energy in the underworld was as barren as the land under his feet.

Now it seems that the spiritual energy in the underworld has indeed become quite outrageous.

"Yes, cultivation, we are now relying on this little incense to cultivate..." The one-eyed dragon suddenly sighed: "You just came to the underworld, you don't know the situation here, the underworld has long lost its former glory..."

Of course, the underworld has lost its former glory, otherwise those Yin gods would not have left the underworld collectively. Chu Yang naturally knew this, but they did not expect the underworld to be so miserable now.

Through the narration of the one-eyed dragon, he roughly understood the current situation of the underworld.

The Yin gods left the underworld mainly because the spiritual energy in the underworld was weakened.

Without spiritual energy, the Yin gods could not maintain their own cultivation, and even their cultivation would regress, losing their godhood, and falling from ghost immortals to ordinary ghost cultivators.

This huge change in the world is difficult for even gods to reverse.

Since the Yin gods left the underworld, the spiritual energy in the underworld has declined even more severely.

The Yin gods can still run away, but the ghost cultivators below the ghost immortals are miserable, and they are trapped in the underworld.

After a long time, the ghost cultivators who lost the support of spiritual energy finally experienced a decline in their cultivation, and saw their strength begin to drop one level at a time.

In order to maintain their own cultivation strength, the ghost cultivators began to set their sights on merit and incense.

Incense can also be absorbed as a kind of energy for cultivation, but the total amount of incense on each ghost is not much, and it needs descendants to offer sacrifices to receive some, and the specific amount that can be received is also related to their own merits.

Those who save money and do good deeds and accumulate merits can receive a high proportion of incense. Even if their descendants light a stick of incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, they can bring them a lot of incense energy.

And those who did evil things during their lifetime, even if their descendants light incense and burn candles on the shrine every day, the proportion they can receive is very few.

But in general, the total amount of incense on each ghost will not be too much.

Therefore, if you want to use these incense energies for cultivation, it is not enough to rely on the offerings of your own descendants, and you must also plunder the incense from other ghosts.

This kind of thing is detrimental to Yin De, and it was expressly prohibited in the underworld in the past.

But now, the spiritual energy no longer pays attention to supporting the cultivation of ghost cultivators in the underworld, so in order to maintain their own cultivation, these ghost cultivators trapped in the underworld can no longer take care of it.

In the past, when the Yin gods were still in the underworld, the officials of the underworld would maintain order and would not allow such a situation of plundering other people's merits and incense to occur.

Whenever Yama and the emperors caught the evildoers who sucked other people's incense, they would beat them until their souls were scattered and they would never be reborn.

Now, this situation is out of control.
