Chapter 2 The Four Major States

People die as ghosts.

Among the six paths of reincarnation, the ghost path is also an extremely important one. The death of a person does not mean the complete end of his life.

Death is just another beginning.

Except for a small number of people who are too weak-willed and their souls immediately disperse after death, most people's souls will be taken away by ghost messengers after death and go to the Hall of Hell for trial.

Those who have accumulated great merits during their lifetime will ascend to heaven and become immortals; those who have accumulated many evil deeds will go to the eighteen levels of hell to suffer; those who have made no merits and demerits will stay in Fengdu to accumulate merits and wait for the opportunity to be reincarnated again.

There are many ways to accumulate merit. Become a ghost soldier, a soul keeper, a spirit behind the scenes, a spy, a land lord, a city god, a kitchen god, a moon elder, etc. The risks are different and the difficulty is different.

The ghost soldier is a coolie. He guards the Huangquan Road, guards the Yama Palace, and works as a thug in the eighteen levels of hell. The advantages are leisure and safety, but the disadvantage is that he is slow to accumulate merit.

The soul-gatherer is a person who runs to the mortal world every day to bring the souls of the newly deceased back to the underworld. The advantage is that it is free for you, but the disadvantage is that there is a certain risk.

If you don't have the foresight and capture the soul of a demon with great magic power, it will be turned into meat.

There are two types of Yin soldiers, one is to guard the safety of Yin Cao's underworld, and the other is to sign an agreement with monks or gods to be their thugs.

The risk factor of these two kinds of Yin soldiers is very high. In history, there are many powerful monsters and great demons who come to the underworld to cause trouble. Those millions of Yin soldiers are the human shields to protect the Lord of Hell.

The last time the underworld was ravaged was in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. Two identical monkeys destroyed the underworld. One of the monkeys kept shouting that he was the "Monkey King", but in the end he still

Beaten to death with a stick.

The City God can enjoy a place of incense and manage all the affairs of mortals within his jurisdiction. He has great power, but if he doesn't have a strong backer in the underworld, he can't even think of becoming one.

As for the Landlord and the Stove Lord, they can only live in their own one-third of an acre. Especially the Stove Lord is even more pitiful. He stays in the kitchen every day and is burnt by the smoke. It is not easy for God to speak to him every year on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month.

If there is a chance, people will put sugar in his mouth to stop him from saying bad things.

In comparison, Yuelao is the most prestigious priesthood and the fastest to gain merit.

Yue Lao's duty is to wander around the world, find suitable men and women, and tie them together with a red thread. The men and women tied by the red thread will be tied together by the power of fate and become husband and wife.

However, as you get older, the risks are also very high.

Every time a good couple is created, Yue Lao will get a share of merit. Similarly, if a bad couple is created, Yue Lao will be greatly deducted from his merits.

There are so many mortals in this world. Whether two people are suitable for each other can only be observed with Yue Lao's eyes. It is inevitable to make mistakes.

If a month-old man is matched with too many resentful spouses, he will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell to be skinned and cramped, or he will be reincarnated as a cockroach in his next life.

Since Wang Yan took over the red thread from Dayue Lao, he has gained another nickname. "The worst Yue Lao in history."

He used a red thread to tie the princess of the Tang Dynasty to a slovenly beggar. The well-behaved princess looked down upon the young talents of the nobles and nobles, and she shed tears every day thinking about the beggar.

He tied a virtuous monk and a nun with a clean reputation together, making the two highly respected Buddhist giants become models of non-compliance with the rules.

…………

These things made Wang Yan infamous in the Yuelao world.

"Scum!"

"The shame of the Yuelao world!"

"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"

A highly respected Yue Lao was so angry that he almost went crazy.

The infuriated Yue Lao collectively went to Da Yue Lao and asked Da Yue Lao to take back Wang Yan's red line. Da Yue Lao, who had lived for thousands of years, just pretended to be deaf and dumb, standing on the Magpie Bridge to watch the magpies fighting, with an ambiguous attitude. Yue Lao

They could only return in anger.

"Why do you always do things like this?"

On the street of Fuliang City, the girl in white asked Wang Yan with a smile. "If I hadn't worked so hard to save you and brought about many couples, your merits would have been enough to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell ten or eight times."

.”

"As long as two people have love and righteousness for each other, they should be together, right?" Wang Yan raised his head and asked, "Beggars and princesses, monks and nuns, these status, seniority, and ethics are so important? I don't believe this evil!

"

"The princess and the beggar were originally destined to be husband and wife for three lives. They agreed to love each other for the rest of their lives. In this life, due to the disparity in status, the two of them cannot be together. I am just helping them."

"The old monk and the old nun fell in love with each other when they first met thirty years ago. However, they were suffering from their status as monks. They did not dare to speak openly and did not dare to return to secular life. They suffered from thirty years of lovesickness. I helped them

The decision was made, and now the two of us are lovingly together. What's wrong with me?"

As a modern earthling, Wang Yan's concept of love is naturally different from the natives of these Jambu worlds. As long as two people fall in love, why are there so many scruples?

He almost blurted out, "On our planet, men and men, women and women, men and women who were originally men, women and men who were originally women, can be together as long as they want, who cares?"

"If two people can be together if they are in love, there won't be so many joys and sorrows in this world." The girl's face, as pure as mutton-fat white jade, was suddenly covered with a cloud of sadness, and she sighed faintly.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A burst of noise suddenly came. Along with the noise, there was the noise of horse hooves and the sound of people screaming.

The crowded streets suddenly dispersed.

After three breaths, several tall horses came galloping forward. On the horses sat several barbarians with high noses and deep eyes, snow-white skin and blue eyes.

They carried long bows on their backs, quivers of arrows hanging on their waists, and hares, deer, pheasants and other prey hung on their horses.

The leader is a young man with yellowish skin and black hair. He is dressed in fancy clothes and is no different from the residents of the Tang Empire. He has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are as deep as a lake.

Once you get in, you can never get out again.

Fuliang City has many immigrants from overseas countries, some even from thousands of miles away. They have thrived here for generations, and some powerful families even control the business of Fuliang City and are quite powerful in the city.

"Master Yang is back from hunting! Don't block the way! I won't be responsible if you are trampled to death by a horse's hoof!"

A few servant-looking men rode horses to open the way first. They swung their whips towards the roadside, and the people who couldn't dodge were hit, leaving a bloody mark on their bodies.

"Humph, these barbarians are still showing off their power in our territory!"

"I can't help it. What kind of chamber of commerce have these foreigners established? They are very powerful in the city. Magistrate Yang and his family are also colluding with them. Look, the one at the front is the eldest son of the Yang family, isn't he?"

The dispersed people were whispering together, but they dared not speak out in anger.

"ah!"

A flower girl couldn't dodge and her basket of flowers spilled all over the floor. She hurriedly went to pick it up, but those tall horses were already in front of her, and they were about to step on her with their hoofs.

The people nearby exclaimed one after another, and some of the timid ones even closed their eyes, unable to bear to see a life disappear like this.

"Huh?"

After a while, the flower girl opened her eyes in confusion.

The tall horse that was about to trample on her jumped into the air with all four hooves, and was lifted up into the air by the young master of the Yang family.

The flower girl was stunned.

The hustle and bustle around her and people's surprises gradually faded away from her. At this moment, she only saw this majestic, god-like young man.

"It's my fault for frightening the girl. I hope the girl will understand." Mr. Yang said apologetically, staring at the flower girl with his deep eyes.

"No, I..." The flower girl's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't say a word.

"A hero saves a beauty? It's such an old-fashioned love story. That's all, I'm here to make it happen for you." Wang Yan, who was deeply poisoned by eight-o'clock romance dramas before time travel, did not want to see the bloody story of two people finally getting married after going through many twists and turns.

, took out the red thread and prepared to tie it for the two of them.

Strangely enough, the red line, which was three feet in front of Young Master Yang, suddenly burst into flames and was instantly reduced to ashes.

how come?

Wang Yan was extremely shocked.

"What the hell is that?"

In mid-air, a little boy holding a bow and arrow, covered in flesh, and with snow-white wings on his back suddenly appeared.

He chuckled, nocked an arrow, drew the bow, and fired. Two heart-shaped arrows hit the hearts of Mr. Yang and the flower girl respectively.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" The servant saw Master Yang's eyes suddenly blank for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"Cupid's arrow hit my heart. I think I fell in love." Mr. Yang said calmly.

The little boy holding a bow and arrow clapped his hands, laughed, flapped his wings, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Little brother, they believe in the god of Luzhou in Beiju. The one who just appeared is the god of love in Luzhou in Beiju, named Cupid. The Young Master of the Yang family believes in the God of Luzhou in Beiju. If he doesn't believe in Sanqing, your red thread will naturally be against him.

He is ineffective."

The girl suddenly spoke.

"God? Cupid? Sanqing, Bodhisattva? Is this Jambu world a world where multiple gods coexist?" Wang Yan majored in literature in college and had a strong interest in various religions. Naturally, he was no stranger to God and Cupid.

He thought for a moment, "But Cupid is not under God?"

"It is said that thousands of years ago there were many gods in Luzhou, Beiju. Later, they were all conquered by God, and their gods became God's subordinates."

"The world of Jambudvipa is divided into four major continents, and between the four major continents is the boundless sea."

"The Nanfangbu Continent where we are located is controlled by Taoist forces."

"Dongsheng Shenzhou is a boundless 100,000 islands. Most of the 100,000 islands are occupied by various magical beasts and fairy beasts. In the easternmost part of Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a mysterious country called Fusang Kingdom. The gods who control Fusang Kingdom

Called Amaterasu, there are eight million grass-headed gods under his command."

"What dominates Xiniu Hezhou is the Buddhist force with Amitabha as its leader."

"The people of Luzhou, the farthest place in Beiju, all believe in Christianity. Their god's name in the human world is Jehovah."

"Which sect you believe in will go to the hell belonging to that sect after death. Similarly, gods like Yuelao and God of Love who influence people's thoughts can only have an effect if people believe in them."

"Then what if you don't believe in any sect?" Wang Yan chased after him.

"When a person without faith dies, his soul will go to the hell of the most powerful sect in his continent." The girl explained patiently.

"Nanbuzhou belongs to the Taoist sect. How can Cupid from Beijuluzhou come?"

"When the number of people who devoutly believe in a religion in a certain place exceeds a thousand, the gods of that religion can use the power of faith to come to the local place to manifest themselves. This Fuliang City is home to thousands of people from Luzhou, Beiju, and Cupid can come

Not surprising. However, in the territory of Taoism, his divine power will be greatly suppressed. Therefore, ordinary gods will not go to the territory of other religions."

"Only the power of love can make gods and mortals ignore the barriers of time and space." The girl said quietly.

"I see." Wang Yan looked thoughtfully at Mr. Yang and the flower girl who were looking at each other affectionately not far away.

"Only the power of love can make people stay together regardless of the barriers of time and space."

"Only love can make people work hard without caring about their own lives."

"I remember every word of what you said to me back then. I tried my best to help you complete your unfinished business. But, where are you now?"

The girl looked into the distance and murmured to herself, her thoughts seemed to have flown to a distant place.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yan's face changed. Looking at her like this, could it be that she was thinking of her old lover?

"The person who can make my sister fall in love must be very good! But it's a pity that she is mine now. I will take care of her for you, so you can rest assured!" he thought to himself.

To be honest, he knew very little about the girl, but this did not hinder Wang Yan's feelings for the girl at all.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, let's go back." The girl was half-hearted, and took out a pebble-like red gemstone from her arms, and swiped it into the void.

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the void, exuding a trace of cold air.

This red gemstone is called [Two Realms Stone]. With the help of the Two Realms Stone, Gui Cha and Yue Lao can freely travel between the Yin and Yang Realms.

The two entered the void, and the cracks gradually disappeared.

Not far away, Young Master Yang, who was holding hands with the flower girl and looking at each other, glanced in this direction intentionally or unintentionally.
