Chapter 199 Sending Merit

Chen Yuan was actually very curious about the tea that could be produced in the underworld. He even took a look around after drinking the tea.

He was surprised to find that the underworld of Rainbow Town had turned into another Rainbow Town, where there were not just street taverns in the city.

The land outside the city was actually developed and planted with grain and pasture, and cattle, sheep and horses were grazed. The tea we just drank was also grown outside the city.

This situation not only surprised him, but also Li Xiangqian was shocked.

“Can we still cultivate land and raise cattle and sheep in this underworld?

Looking at it like this, it’s no different from the human world. "

Sheng Mingxuan laughed and said: "What does Comrade Li think the underworld is?

Flowers bloom on the other side?

Are the flowers and leaves of Manzhu Shahua missing?

The water of the Huangquan River corrodes the bones and enchants the soul. The bottomless boat saves people. When they cross the shore, they become ghosts?

In fact, no, if there was no unification of the underworld later, most of the underworld in the East would not be much different from the underworld.

It’s time to live and farm, and some ghosts spend their entire lives in darkness without even knowing that they are ghosts. "

how so?

Li Xiangqian clearly remembered that in the underworld in the east, Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, the Eighteen Levels of Hell and the Ten Halls of Yama.

How come the city god in front of me says that the underworld is another world.

Seeing that he still couldn't accept it, Miao Zhugong on the side changed his explanation.

"I don't know if Comrade Li has thought about it seriously. In fact, the description of the underworld has probably been expressed in many literary works.

I wonder, has Comrade Li ever read Peach Blossom Spring?

There is a saying on the Internet recently that Peach Blossom Spring is actually a ghost story! "

Hearing what Miao Zhugong said, Li Xiangqian also remembered that there was indeed such a thing. There had indeed been discussions on the Internet that The Peach Blossom Spring was a ghost story.

Sheng Mingxuan said with a smile.

"As we all know, "The Peach Blossom Spring" is one of the representative works of Tao Yuanming, a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which depicts an idealized paradise.

However, when many people deeply read this popular article, they discovered that there may be a creepy ghost story hidden behind it.

Of course, many people think this is a misinterpretation.

However, from the perspective of the ghosts and gods in the underworld today, this fisherman may indeed have entered a ghost village.

First of all, the reason or the way the fisherman discovered Peach Blossom Spring was very strange. "

Weird?

Li Xiangqian recalled the description of the fisherman entering the Peach Blossom Spring in The Peach Blossom Spring, and didn't find anything strange about it?

"What's weird?

It's just a common way to get lost! "

Temple Zhu Gong smiled slightly and took up the challenge.

"Comrade Xiao Li, you should think about it this way.

If you are that fisherman, you make a living by fishing, and you should be familiar with the waterways within a radius of dozens of miles, but you get lost in the river. Is it possible? "

A very simple common sense question left Li Xiangqian speechless.

The water is not like in the mountains. The mountains are big and the grass is deep and it is easy to get lost. However, no matter how many tributaries there are in the river, you have already figured it out over the years and hundreds of thousands of years.

A professional local fisherman, would he not be able to figure out what the waterways around here look like?

It's simply not possible.

City God Sheng Mingxuan continued: "In the countryside, people have a common saying that when encountering evil spirits, they hit the wall when encountering ghosts.

Some people were working in the fields or walking on the mountain roads they usually walked, and suddenly one day they got lost and couldn't get out no matter how hard they walked. They kept walking in circles.

In the eyes of the parties involved, this situation is actually going on forever.

It just seems to others to be spinning in circles.

After the fisherman left the Peach Blossom Spring, when he took the people back, he could not find them again.

That place is there, why can't I find it?

Because these are two worlds.

If the story of Peach Blossom Spring is really a ghost story, the land is flat, the houses are neat, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos, there is no traffic, chickens and dogs hear each other...

Doesn’t it look like the Rainbow Town underworld today? "

That seems to be the case.

Li Xiangqian seemed to understand again.

However, what does this have to do with pulling yourself in and accumulating merit?

Regarding this question, Chen Yuan thought for a while and then asked.

"Don't you think this is like a second world, and this world seems more beautiful than the human world.

If it were you, would you rather live here or be reincarnated?

If your descendants continue to offer incense to you and pass it on, is it another form of immortality? "

When he said this, Li Xiangqian felt that it was really the case.

“In Rainbow Town, my Dubosima Temple controls the entire world of divine power, while the underworld is also controlled by the City God’s Office.

In other words, in Rainbow Town, and even in all the underworld areas under my jurisdiction, the birth rate has been related to the number of people reincarnated in the underworld.

Other methods of reincarnation cannot enter the scope here.

Because of this, there are very few babies being born in Rainbow Town, Andrew Town, and other places under my jurisdiction.

Is it because they haven't worked hard recently?

no!

It was they who discovered that there would be no heavy taxes or land rent in the underworld, and they could make any kind of living here.

Their currency is incense.

You can even have immortality in another sense.

In this case, why do they need to return to the human world and start everything from scratch?

This way they can avoid many detours! "

In other words, the underworld of Rainbow Town is more popular than the living world, so these ghosts are unwilling to reincarnate.

As a result, the birth rate of Rainbow Town has almost dropped to the freezing point in the past few months.

Speaking of this, Li Xiangqian, as a top student in the command department, certainly figured it out.

"General, you mean that Rainbow Town or all the underworlds under your control must make changes.

The population must be able to circulate between the Yin and Yang worlds.

That is to urge these ghosts to reincarnate if they should reincarnate, and those who should stay should stay.

But, we already have the City God's Office and various rules and regulations.

Just execute it!"

Chen Yuan just smiled: "It's because I can't execute it that I asked you to solve this problem.

You stay first!

As for your body in the living world, I will find someone to protect it.

When you finish your work, you can come back! "

After saying that, he left, leaving Li Xiangqian alone to stare at the two ghosts.

Although Sheng Mingxuan didn't know why Chen Yuan gave this great merit to this young man, since he wanted to give it, there must be a reason, so he had to help push it.

"Now the underworld is just starting out, and the key departments of the underworld are only in form but not in reality.

It is difficult to implement.

Those of us who are in high positions may have been teachers originally, or perhaps just a little light condensed from the incense of the people.

There are not many people who really have plans and can do things.

And you are a top student in the command department, with unique vision in strategy, tactics and even organization.

This may be the reason why the general brought you down.

This is also a merit, so grasp it well! "
