At the intersection of the two worlds, the capital is at the gate of hell.
The dark wind is howling, and wandering souls are wandering.
Countless souls were crowded together, and they were almost unable to move due to the mountains and seas.
The capital of Qi State was guarded by the city emperor, and the Yin soldiers from the Siyin Mountains were mobilized to act as Yin messengers. Guiding wandering souls to supervise the two realms is the most orderly place. The current situation is not due to the city emperor's inaction. But these wandering souls cannot enter the gate of hell.
The wandering souls stumble in front of the gate of hell, and will be bounced away by a ball of light every time they come into contact.
"Hey, it's blocked again. How long has it been like this?"
Eunuch Qi was floating in the air, followed by several evil spirits. Looking at the crowd of wandering souls below, his eyes were full of anxiety and pity.
Ever since the Yin soldiers were transferred from Siyin Mountain, Eunuch Qi's job was once very easy. Every day he would lean against the wall of the Ghost Gate and yell at the newly appointed undercover men to do their work. As I am accumulating work achievements, I don’t have to do much yet, and my days can be as leisurely as I want.
But since zombies appeared, the good days are gone forever.
"Hey, let's go and work." Eunuch Qi took a breath and landed in front of the gate of hell with a secret.
Even the fierce ghosts with lingering grievances will not be completely blocked out. The reason why these wandering souls cannot enter is because the gate of hell cannot tell whether they are dead or not.
These wandering souls are not ordinary dead, they are all the souls of zombies.
Zombies are immortal aliens, not pure dead. If the soul has already left the body, it is just a living corpse. But if a living person turns into a zombie, his soul will be trapped in the world of the sun.
"Hey... you, what about you, that one is alive... Bah, not that one, he is a normal wandering soul, don't pull it out... And you, that one is a zombie, what are you pushing in? Push! If you really can push it in, our family will recognize you as our father..."
Eunuch Qi was patiently giving instructions, and he was very mad because he had no love to die.
The ghosts of these zombies are blocked at the gate of hell, making it difficult for normal ghosts to enter. Wandering souls need to be screened to ensure that the passage between the two realms is as normal as possible. The work content is not difficult. The problem is that only Eunuch Qi can do it.
Yin Chai are all soldiers transferred from Siyin Mountain, and their mobility and obedience are no problem. But basically I can only follow orders and cannot do too detailed work. It would be easy for them to kill all the wandering ghosts, but it would be too difficult to identify the ghosts.
"Are you done here?"
Mr. Qi was busy there when a figure suddenly floated above his head. It was Yuan Xiangru, the emperor of the capital of Qi State, who is now known as Yuan Gong.
Yuan Xiangru's face was full of disgust as always, and his mood was also filled with the same anxiety.
"Hurry up after dealing with it. There are zombies crossing the border in the southwest. And the level is a bit high. Those evil soldiers can't handle it... What do you think I'm going to do? Leave quickly."
"Look what you are doing? Are you blind?" Eunuch Qi replied ungratefully, showing no respect at all. "I didn't see that this place is packed into a pot of porridge, how can it be all busy?"
"What happened? Things are so procrastinated!" Yuan Xiangru was very dissatisfied. "We just cleaned up yesterday, so why did it end up like this again in one day? Thanks to those zombies, the number of normal wandering souls is not that high."
"This is thanks to our Emperor, Your Majesty." Eunuch Qi said angrily, "This morning, several ministers advised me, but they were immediately pushed out and killed. Killing is not the end of the world. Nine tribes were wiped out, and the execution ground is still there. He's about to beheaded. Just watch, a new soul will arrive soon."
"Damn it, that stupid king!" Yuan Xiangru gritted his teeth, "I gave him a dream just the day before yesterday, but he didn't even know how to repent, but he went even worse."
"The person you should entrust your dream to is not the emperor, but the generals in the imperial court." Qi Gong said, "If you let them rebel against the Qing emperor earlier, Qi country would not be like this."
"I know that you, an unfaithful and unfilial old eunuch, are still obsessed with rebellion. Even if you die, you want to rebel! It's not just your own rebellion, but you also want to drag me into the water!" Yuan Xiangru was furious.
"The faint king deserves to be killed, but it is none of our business. The underworld does not care about the affairs of the world, let alone the emperor who is concerned with the fate of the dynasty! Do you want me to be punished by God so that I can become the emperor of the capital as soon as possible!"
"You, the city emperor, are so cowardly that I don't even want to give them to you." Eunuch Qi has long been numb to such remarks. "Those zombies are things from the underworld, but they cannot be regarded as things from the underworld. You don't want to involve the emperor in the underworld, and take these things from the underworld." It doesn’t matter if the zombie’s soul is destroyed.”
The Yin Chao next to him was dazzled when he heard this, and immediately looked at the wandering souls with eager eyes.
I can't do delicate work, so I am professional in killing.
"No!" Yuan Xiangru was furious, "As long as the zombie body is eliminated, its soul can enter the gate of hell. Simply killing these souls will not affect the body in any way. If you act like you said, we and those What's the difference between a faint king and a faint king?"
"It won't work this way, and that won't work either. You can figure it out yourself." Eunuch Qi sighed, "Anyway, I don't have time to accompany you to fight zombies now. People are indispensable here."
"That's all, just take care of it here. Anyway, one more of you is not too much, and one of you is not too much." Yuan Xiangru is now very upset, "Those stinky Taoist priests in Maoshan are useful, but it's a pity that the one with the surname Yan is not a thing. I put it on the shelf. My dear Yin Shen, how dare he attack me."
"How dare you say this?" Eunuch Qi rolled his eyes. "When the zombies started to show signs of attack, Sect Master Yan noticed it and came over to remind them. But you, on the other hand, had a bad attitude and didn't say anything. You even pointed at others and scolded them. In the end, it was you who made the first move, and anyone else would have beaten you. Besides, Xuanxin Zhengzong might not have sent someone here..."
"Am I wrong to scold you?" Yuan Xiangru interrupted Eunuch Qi with his eyes wide open.
"Xuanxin Zhengzong is an immortal monastery, and I have respect for its original nature. But Yan Chixia should not use the immortal power to interfere in the court affairs or even the imperial power. No matter how stupid Emperor Qi is, it is a human matter, how dare he Yan Chixia Pointing fingers. Man said it was me. If the Lord knew about it, he would not let him off lightly!"
"If what you said is the truth, I will be punished by you. But the problem is that what you said may not be the truth." Eunuch Qi shook his head.
"Although the City Emperor is in charge of the capital city, he is only responsible for matters big and small in the underworld. The understanding of the affairs of the underworld is mainly through the City Emperor Temple. When he is not a god, he walks around asking about the sun every day and examining the yin at night. Even if his mind is confused, he will not make mistakes. . But now, it’s not as clear-sighted as before.”
"You old eunuch, stop making trouble here!" Yuan Xiangru said angrily, "I didn't just listen to the words in the City Emperor's Temple. I also asked the people in the city when I fell asleep at night."
"Hey, in this world, the people who have the best interests are the common people. Emperor Qi is a foolish king in the world of heaven, and the emperor of the city in the underworld is not very wise..."
Eunuch Qi looked indifferent. "Forget it, there is nothing to say, it doesn't matter what happens. Even if the capital falls, I will just attract more wandering souls. If you have time to lose your temper here, it is better to deal with the zombies who have crossed the border."
Yuan Xiangru originally wanted to continue scolding, but he opened his mouth and made no sound. After a moment of silence, he snorted heavily, waved his sleeves and left in the wind.
"Incomprehensible!"
It seemed that he was still talking about Eunuch Qi, but he didn't know who he was talking about. Whether before or after his death, Yuan Xiangru always believed that being a ghost was easier than being a human being. Distinguishing good from evil and right from wrong is true fairness.
But now I feel more and more that I want to be simple. Especially the status of the City Emperor seems to be just as Eunuch Qi said, it is not as good as being a human being.
"Perhaps Your Majesty has chosen the wrong person. I am not a qualified city emperor. This old eunuch may be more suitable." Yuan Xiangru looked back at Eunuch Qi and then looked in another direction.
"But everything must start well and end well, and the task in front of us must be completed."
Direction of the Royal Palace.
…
The emperor often stayed in the city in disguise and listened to what the people had to say. The ministers were puzzled and thought they could not be trusted. The Emperor said, "Admonitions flow like a stream, but slander cannot be stopped." If you don't listen to Heaven, you won't be able to warn fools. It’s not that you don’t trust your ministers, it’s the way of a king.
