Fang Xiang was very happy and led the sheep around the willow tree, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at a market. This was the ghost market.
The "falling treasure money" was not yet in place, and Zhao Gongming had not taken on the role of the God of Wealth, leading to a highly chaotic monetary system across the three realms.
Currently, the Underworld can only rely on the bronze coins, which are tainted with ghostly qi, for transactions. Fortunately, the practice of sending human sacrifices along with Yin Shang's dead was extremely prevalent. They performed divination every day and for every event. Divination required sacrificed offerings, and in many cases, they were live offerings. As a result, the Underworld has accumulated quite a number of ghostly money from these practices.
Fang Xiang sold the sheep for fifteen hundred ghost coins and then happily went back to find Fang Bi.
The river dragon king Jinghe transformed into a sheep: "?????????????"
Where's my big friend? Where am I? What am I doing?
"Youngster, where do you come from?" a sheep asked him.
The river dragon king Jinghe was completely unaware of how to speak and could only bleat twice.
Several sheep thought he was a dull sheep, so they bullied him, surrounding him and kicking his hooves haphazardly.
A sheep named Yu Gong came to his rescue and led him into another pen of sheep, "Brother, you've come at a good time. In the past, when we followed the Dragon Princess, we went hungry and full. That despicable King of the Jinghe River, I spit on him! Just mentioning his name makes me sick. Thankfully, Princess Su was compassionate. She doesn't know how to contact the exiled Dragon Princess but managed to do so. Princess Su took us all under her wing and had us watch over the ghost market here. You, just stay quietly here from now on."
The other sheep were all cursing the King of the Jinghe River. The King of the Jinghe River felt that the story inside seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite remember it.
What was his original name?
The King of the Jinghe River has no name on the list, and it has nothing to do with the List of Deified Ancestors. The vitality of his flesh depends on the power of incense offerings. One soul and one spirit have turned into a sheep, while the normal two souls and six spirits still follow the laws of heaven and earth, coming to the Underworld.
The King of the Jinghe River is not a newcomer; most of his memories are here. He knows some of the operating rules of the Underworld and realizes that he himself was originally a god. He should follow the path of a celestial deity, which would be a summary of this life. As for where he will be reincarnated in his next life and whether he can still become a god, that remains to be seen.
He walked forward with a dejected expression, and as he walked, he noticed that the judges and officers of the Underworld were pointing and whispering about him.
The most astonishing thing was that he even saw a King of Hell, whose face was marked with stubble, as if he were just passing by. The King of Hell gave him a thorough once-over from head to toe.
What's going on? Why are they all looking at me?
The King of the Jinghe River does not believe that his position as a dragon king would allow the Underworld to treat him as a VIP.
There must be something he doesn't know about this.
"You, you're the King of the Jinghe River?" The usually calm Meng Po couldn't help but ask him a question.
"It is, it is the King of the Jinghe River. I don't know," the King of the Jinghe River looked around, and those officials who were pointing and whispering about him immediately turned their heads. Some of them chatted with each other, while others pointed at the rocks on the side of the road and whispered to each other, each acting oddly.
He couldn't gauge the depth of Meng Po's abilities, so he spoke to her in a normal tone.
"Why are all these officials from your place looking at the King of the Jinghe River?"
Seeing him still putting on airs, a few local Hell Judges couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing directly.
The King of the Jinghe River was somewhat angry. "I've been humiliated for over two years, and now that I'm dead, you have to laugh at me too?"
Meng Po smiled and stopped him: "Don't be angry, Dragon King. They are all some uncultured people who don't know etiquette. Hehehe cough cough, Judge, stop laughing. Bring the Book of Life and Death."
The judge beside him quickly retrieved the Book of Life and Death.
Meng Po went through the usual procedure of flipping through the Book of Life and Death and nodded in agreement: "Ma Yuan is inherently possessed by a demonic nature. After death, his soul should have been extinguished, and he should not have fallen under my jurisdiction of the reincarnation world. Dragon King, your lifespan has not yet expired, and now that you have been killed by Ma Yuan, at the Heavenly King's palace, you will only be sentenced to die a painful death."
The King of the Jinghe River thought she had more to say, and his attitude improved by three times: "May I ask the elders, does King of the Jinghe River still have a way out?"
Meng Po glanced at him, not sure if he was lucky or unlucky.
On that day when "Sended the four-wheel carriage", Ji Hei was also a witness, so Meng Po naturally knows the story behind it. Being idle, she told a few friendly Hell officials, and then one told ten, and ten told a hundred. Finally, it fell into the ears of Dizang, who then passed the story back to the spiritual mountain.
The story of the King of the Jinghe River can be said to be well-known among the high-level officials in the Underworld and the high-level officials of the Western teaching.
Meng Po smiled and said, "The King of the Jinghe River's lifeline is not in the hands of this old woman, but in the hands of this Taoist priest behind you."
The King of the Jinghe River followed her finger's direction and saw a young man wearing an odd-looking moon white Taoist robe approaching: "The old monk Dizang. I have seen the Dragon King. The Dragon King has suffered such a great calamity, which is my fault in my sect. All causalities are to be borne by me. Today, my sect has six dusts, six roots, six consciousnesses and seven major ways of holding the self to practice. There are a total of twenty-five gateways to transcend this world and reach the other shore. The Dragon King is willing to listen?"
The King of the Jinghe River was bewildered. As an Eastern god who was born and raised in the East, he was extremely unfamiliar with the practices of the Western teachings. However, at this moment, he had no other choice but to nod, "I am willing to listen to your teachings."
Meng Po looked at Zang Sheng and nodded, meaning that she would leave the matter to him. Zang Sheng immediately bowed and greeted himself, then took his newly-made friend away.
On the other side.
Shi Ji Niang Niang found Du E Zhen Ren, who was called the hermit of the western Kunlun Mountains, but in fact, his Daoist name was clearly from the heart sutra "Zhuoxian Huishan Bodhi Gaya" where "Du Er Du Er", which means to overcome all suffering and misfortune, this is a Westerner who has been Daoized.
The Western religion is the best at taking advantage of any opportunity and climbing up the ladder. Ma Yuan and the King of the Jinghe River are examples of this. Now that Shi Ji has volunteered herself, how can one be polite?
Du E Zhen Ren pulled Shi Ji and first used the pretext of discussing Daoist teachings to explain the Western religion for ten days, then used excuses like asking questions and pointing out mistakes to continue explaining for another ten days.
To be honest, Shi Ji was somewhat moved. She was a fossil stone formed from stone, with a firm Daoist heart. However, in comparison, her comprehension ability was significantly lacking.
The practice of the Western religion places more emphasis on perseverance and inherent talent, with relatively lower demands on intelligence.
The two talked very well and eventually got around to discussing Shi Ji's purpose, which was to seek the array map of the Earth-Fiercing Array from Deng Chanyu.
The Western religion has always been very enthusiastic about going to the East to cause trouble, even if there is no benefit, they are willing to come.
Previously, there was no excuse, but now with Shi Ji leading the way, Du E Zhen Ren didn't give it much thought and followed her to Lishan Mountain. Goddess Nuwa did not see them, but simply told them to go to Emei Mountain to find Deng Chanyu.
"Emei Mountain is very large, Shi Ji Dao Ren. Do you know where Deng Daode's cave is?"
Shi Ji Niang Niang and Du E Zhen Ren circled the Ememei Mountain, but there was no sign of any clues.
While they were searching, Shi Ji suddenly saw Zhao Gongming returning from the Three Sages Island.
