"The employees sent to the Yinshi checkpoint in Taihang County have not received any news for three days and are currently confirmed to be missing.
There are rumors in Juwu County that if foreign ghosts approach the underworld in Taihang County without any reason, they will be permanently detained by the City God's Mansion. "
Song Yushan frowned.
City God's Mansion? There is actually a city god in Taihang County?
She had been asking about Qu Xia and Cheng Huang for so long, and this was the first time she heard definite news about Cheng Huang.
But this Taihang County actually prohibits foreign ghosts from entering?
The people who were detained were employees of her Yinshi Bookstore. They went to another Yinshi in order to develop their industry. If something happened, Song Yushan would naturally find a way to save him.
But the one who imprisoned him was a local city god, a legendary ghost and god. She had to think carefully about how to save him.
Most of Song Yushan's understanding of Cheng Huang came from the brief encounter before his father took office.
After reading so many books in Gan Ningguan's collection, I only saw some miscellaneous notes about the city god being a ghost and god in charge of the ghosts of a place.
The rest are legends whose authenticity and details cannot be tested.
But if it can be called a ghost, it must be unusual. It is best not to cause conflicts and to rescue the employees peacefully.
Whether it was for ghost employees or news about the city god, Song Yushan felt that she had to go to Taihang County.
She returned to Qichiyuan and found the map of Linjiang County.
On the edge of the map, at the remote border with Dongchang County, we found the location of Taihang County.
Looking at this location, it is more remote than Fushui County. It is surrounded by mountains, making travel difficult.
If we talk about the underworld, the underworld in Taihang County prohibits foreign ghosts from approaching, so it is definitely not possible to go directly.
Her fingertips landed on Juwu County, the county closest to Taihang County.
In the Yin world, these two counties are next to each other. In the Yang world, although there is an uninhabited mountain range in between, the distance is not too far.
"Tonight, I will go to the Yin world to find the blind scholar and ask for details. Then I will take a trip to the Yin world and go to Juwu County. Then from the Yang world, I will go to Taihang County."
Song Yushan made a decision and began to pack things.
Thinking that Taihang County is located in a remote area, there may not be many monks like Fushui County.
She went to the Yuanlou Market and bought several sets of costumes commonly worn by Jianghu knights.
During dinner, she told her senior sister and Uncle Jin, and when night fell, she put on her knight's attire, put on a black cloak, rode Wu Zui, and went to the underworld.
When she arrived at the bookstore, the blind scholar told her more details.
The entire Yinshi boundary line in Taihang County is guarded by soldiers from the City God's Mansion.
Any ghost that comes close to the border will be captured by the soldiers without even a chance to communicate.
The ghosts outside can't get in, and the ghosts inside can't get out.
There is no news about the entire underworld in Taihang County, except that the ghost meeting near the underworld in Taihang County will be detained by the City God's Mansion.
The imprisoned ghost never came out again.
It means that now, Song Yushan and the others know almost nothing about the underworld in Taihang County.
Now she can only wait for her to go to Yangshi, Taihang County in person to find out the news.
After Song Yushan finished talking to the blind scholar, he went directly to the underworld in Juwu County.
A few hours later, she came to Juwu County. Yinshi came out and arrived in the north of Juwu County.
Continue riding Wu Zhui and run along the official road towards Taihang County.
After attaching several magical talismans to Wu Zhui, he arrived in the woods outside Taihang County before dawn.
After entering the territory of Taihang County, Song Yushan discovered the difference.
The entire Taihang County was similar to Linjiang County at night, and there was not a ghost wandering around in the Yangshi along the way.
I don’t know if it’s because there is a city god here to manage the ghosts in the underworld.
Song Yushan hid Wu Zhui in the Qiankun bag, put away his cloak, took a pretentious bag and put it on his back, then walked out of the woods and walked toward Taihang County in the morning sun.
Although Taihang County is located in remote mountains, looking at the city gates and walls, it feels richer than Fushui County.
Taihang County is not a big city. Before noon, Song Yushan walked all the streets in the city.
She kept her eyes open and didn't notice anything different.
I went to a well-informed place in the city to inquire about the "City God" but found nothing.
The people in the city did not know the monks, nor did they know the city god.
It seems to be an ordinary small county town isolated from the world, nothing surprising.
Unable to find any information, Song Yushan went to the inn to book a room and stayed there.
Maybe it's because there are no ghosts at night in Taihang County, and there is no curfew in the city.
She went out for a stroll in the market at night, and found nothing but many entrances to the underworld.
Song Yushan did not dare to rashly enter the underworld in Taihang County to investigate. After all, the underworld is the territory of ghosts. Entering rashly would only put himself in danger.
We still have to find a local ghost, and first understand the situation of the underworld in Taihang County.
If you really can't find it, you can only send Xiaoyi and the others to explore. However, if they are discovered, it will be too rude.
Moreover, it is very possible to alert the snake and expose herself.
She didn't dare to go into the underworld to find the city god, but other city gods could definitely come to her directly at night.
Since I can't find ghosts in the city, I go to places with many ghosts to look for them.
The next day, Song Yushan inquired about the place with the most graves near Taihang County and went to look for ghosts.
As a result, there were too many graves that were “clean” and seemed to have no ghosts living there.
For a large number of them, judging from the information on the tombstones, the time of death was not that long ago.
The lifespan of ghosts is estimated to be hundreds of years. How could the ghost house be without ghosts so quickly?
Could it be that with the City God here, they would be reincarnated soon without having to live a long life?
Song Yushan was full of doubts, but fortunately, there were still a small number of tombs inhabited by ghosts.
She stayed on the mountain, planning to burn incense at night and attract the ghosts living here to ask questions.
Song Yushan had wonderful thoughts and burned incense at night, but was dumbfounded.
The whole mountain was filled with yin energy and there were graves where ghosts lived. She burned incense all over, but not a single ghost came out of the underworld to see her.
She wasted two bundles of good fragrance.
She returned to the city disappointed.
The Yinshi world in Taihang County is actually closed to such an extent.
It’s really strange!
She couldn't find the dead old ghost, so Song Yushan set her sights on the newly dead ghost.
Newly deceased ghosts will never enter the underworld and never come out as soon as they appear, right?
She set her sights on Baishi Street in the county town and stayed at a nearby inn.
The next night, people came eagerly to buy funeral rites.
She followed them secretly to see that the souls of the dead people were no longer in the human world.
She's late.
Song Yushan never thought that one day, it would be so difficult to see a ghost.
She changed her plan again. If it doesn't work for the person who just died, then it will work for the person who is about to die, right?
If a newly deceased ghost enters the underworld so quickly, there must be someone to guide him after death. This is also a method.
So, she moved to an inn outside the hospital.
