I couldn't help but feel shocked. Although I had figured out that this place was haunted, I didn't expect that there would be so many ghosts here, and that each one of them would die tragically.

The child and the woman in red seemed to have been drowned, while the rest were burned to death. In other words, the people here all died violently. Judging from their clothes, they should be from the same era.

I roughly guessed that they should be in the same village.

It just makes me wonder why only the mother and son were drowned, while the rest were burned to death.

The most hostile person here is the female ghost in red clothes. She must have been very resentful when she died. The female ghost in red walked toward me step by step with the people behind her, and I stood directly

There was no movement there.

Although there are many of them, the most powerful woman in the group, the woman in red, is relatively shallow compared to the corpses I met before, and there is nothing worth paying attention to.

When the group of people walked in, the little boy in red clothes jumped over, then came to the woman in red, stretched out his little hand to pull her clothes, and said in a soft voice, "Mom,

He's scaring me."

After hearing what the little boy said, the woman in red's body suddenly became violent. She let out a sharp scream and floated towards me. At the same time, a pair of his sharp claws grabbed my face directly.

I quickly took a few steps back to avoid the woman's sharp claws, then directly pulled out the whip I got from the ancient tomb and swung it towards the woman.

Although I don’t know what era this whip is from, it is also a very powerful magical weapon.

Seeing the whip coming, the woman in red must have felt threatened, and she immediately stepped back. Then she stopped her feet, stood in front of me, looked at me coldly, and then said, "Who are you?"

, why are you here, is it possible that you want to take us in?"

She suddenly asked this series of questions, and I couldn't answer them. In fact, I didn't know what to do when faced with this group of lonely ghosts. Although they had a lot of resentment, it wasn't too big.

The hostility is enough to show that these people have never harmed anyone. If I just get rid of them directly, it will also cause karma to me.

"You should be able to feel what I do even if I don't tell you. As for why I came to this place, I heard there is a ghost here. I came over to take a look. It's up to you whether I will accept you or not."

After saying this, I paused and continued, "You have become ghosts. You should know that humans and ghosts have different paths. There are rules in the underworld, and there are laws in the underworld. No matter how you die, if you stay in this place, it will be you."

It’s wrong.”

"Brother, we don't want to stay here either. My old man also wants to be reincarnated and start a new life, but some people don't allow it." An old man staggered out from behind the woman in red.

Not only did I frown, but listening to what this old man meant, it seemed like they had a lot of stories to tell.

The old man sighed slightly, with sadness on his face, and then slowly said, "This used to be the village where we lived..."

From the old man’s mouth, I roughly understood the whole story. It turned out that this village was called Wangjiacun, and naturally most of the people in the village had the surname Wang. In the second

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

More than a hundred years ago, people in Wangjia Village lived a peaceful farm life.

One day, two masters and apprentices came to the village. They called themselves Mr. Yin Yang. They passed by the village and it was getting dark. They asked to stay in the village for one night.

The people in the village were all kind-hearted farmers. The village chief let them live in his home. He also hired Wang Xiu, who was a good cook, to prepare some meals for the two of them. Wang Xiu was the woman in red. But it didn't work out.

Unfortunately, their kindness was rewarded by the two masters and apprentices.

While the master and apprentice were eating, they kept staring at the beautiful Wang Xiu. In the middle of the night, they ran to Wang Xiu's house. Wang Xiu's husband died early, and she and her son Xiaobao were the only ones left at home.

, mother and son depend on each other for life.

The two masters and apprentices came to Wang Xiu's house and wanted to torture Wang Xiu. Wang Xiu struggled hard and bit the master, who actually threw her directly into the well in the yard. In order to eradicate the weeds, Xiaobao was

Throw it in too.

Later, they were worried that the matter would spread, so they went so crazy as to kill everyone in a village, and then burned the whole village down. Not only that, they didn't know what means they used, but they even bribed the city god here.

.The City God asked them to wait where they were and did not send the underworld to take them to the underworld, so these souls had no way to report to the underworld.

"Gentlemen, we have been here for more than a hundred years, and no one has ever come to pick us up. However, we people have never harmed anyone. If you don't believe it, you can go to the previous villages and ask about it."

The old man said pitifully.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but frown. The City God's Temple is where the Yin Division is located and the boundary between Yin and Yang. The City God is an official of the Yin Division and is in charge of the life and death of all living beings in the area. Such a big thing happened in the place under his jurisdiction.

He actually colluded with outsiders to prevent these people from reincarnating. Isn't he afraid that these ghosts would go out to kill people and cause trouble?

There are also the two Yin-Yang Masters. The Yin-Yang Masters actually evolved from Taoism, and they also follow the Taoist Yin-Yang theory. Among them, the ones with higher Taoist practices generally have good luck and good fortune.

As Mr. Yin Yang, they should also understand the principle of karma and retribution. If they dare to do this, do they have some trump card?

This matter seems to be much more complicated than I thought.

"Where is the City God's Temple you just mentioned? I'll go take a look." I asked with a frown.

Now I really want to go and see what the City God’s Temple is like and who the City God is.

"Follow this road and keep going east. It will take about half an hour and you will be there." said the old man.

I thought that in my current state, I couldn't reach the underworld at all, so I could only send these people away through the City God's Temple.

According to the address mentioned by the old man, I walked for almost half an hour when a temple appeared in front of me. The walls of the temple were dark red as a whole, and the door was high and wide. There was a temple hanging on the door.

The plaque reads "Chenghuang Temple" in three solemn and neat characters.

Except for this temple, the surrounding area is very spacious and there are basically no other buildings. From the outside, the size of the Chenghuang Temple is not too small. Looking in through the outer wall, you can even see a side hall on the top of the temple.

Looking at the Chenghuang Temple in front of me, I not only felt

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I feel something is wrong. Places like the City God's Temple are where the underworld is, similar to temples and ancient temples. Basically, no sneaky person dares to come and cause trouble in such a place. But the Feng Shui here tells me that there are sneaky people coming and going in this place.

.

I couldn't help but be more vigilant. It seemed that there was a big problem with this City God's Temple.

I pushed the door of the City God's Temple, but it was closed tightly and did not open.

The City God is not a human being, and it is not easy to see him. I took out a piece of yellow paper and wrote an invitation talisman on it, and burned it directly at the gate.

No matter what the problem is inside, if I want to see the City God now, I have to do this first, and wait until I get there to act on my own initiative.

Just a moment after the talisman was burned, the door seemed to have been pushed open from the inside, making a creaking sound.

After entering the main hall, I saw a statue. Next to the statue was a statue of a civil and military judge, as well as two ghost servants holding iron chains.

Generally, a City God's Temple will have two judges, one civil, one military, and a ghost officer. The number of ghost officers depends on the area under the jurisdiction of the City God's Temple. The ghost officers are usually responsible for extraditing those ghosts who should report to the underworld.

The main hall was not small, with candles placed on both sides, with a total of three floors above and below. At this time, the candles gave off a faint green light.

In front of the statue of the City God, there is a long spiritual table with some dried fruits and the like placed on it. Behind it are the incense burner and the incense table.

The City God in the middle wears a black gauze hat on his head and a golden official uniform. He also has a Chinese character face and a long beard. But for some reason, the expression on his face gives people an indescribable feeling.

The civil and military judges both had fierce looks on their faces, and the two statues looked at me as if something was wrong.

"Who are you? Why don't you kneel down when you see the City God?" The City God didn't say anything, but Judge Wu asked in a bad tone.

"My master said that our sect will not kneel to anyone but our parents and heaven." I said directly.

After hearing what I said, Judge Wen snorted coldly, "Who is your master? How dare you say such big words."

"My master is the master of Huilong Temple. If he can say something like this, he naturally has something to rely on." I said calmly.

Judge Wu wanted to say something else, but the City God stopped him, "Okay, tell me why you came here?"

"I am a Taoist disciple. There is something I don't understand. Come and ask the City God for advice." I said.

"What's the matter? Tell me." said the City God.

"Excuse me, City God, why don't you send someone to extradite those innocent souls outside the south city to the underworld?" I asked directly.

The City God frowned, and before he could speak, Wenjian shouted, "Bold Taoist priest, you dare to interfere with the affairs of the underworld, don't you want to live?"

I snorted coldly, "Whether I live or not is not up to you." The reason why I dare to say such things is not that I am arrogant. The City God controls the life and death of a person, and he is just an ordinary person, like me.

In this way, the fate of a cultivator is not decided by him.

If he wants to use force, I won't be afraid of him. To put it bluntly, although the civil and military judges and the City God have nice voices, they are just ghosts.
