I asked you to play the dungeon, but you are here to raise the BOSS?

Five days later, at midnight

A gust of dark wind blew through the inner courtyard of Zhang Mansion, followed by the faint sound of ghostly cries.

The garden, which was originally full of vitality, suddenly exuded a somewhat desolate atmosphere.

In an instant, the cold wind dissipated, and two black and white Wu Chang, who were tall and thin and had long tongues, appeared in the courtyard.

"Xiao Heizi, why does it feel weird here? Are you in the wrong place?"

Bai Wuchang glanced across the courtyard with a suspicious look in his eyes.

"Look at what you said..."

Hei Wuchang said casually: "You took this mission, I didn't even look at it."

"Okay, my pot."

Bai Wuchang took out the document from his arms and looked at it carefully: "Yes, it should be here."

"This document was written by the judge based on the book of life and death. It can't be wrong."

Hei Wuchang comforted him: "Okay, although I feel a little uncomfortable staying here, we have hooked up with a lot of ghosts. When did something go wrong?"

"Well, I hope so..."

Bai Wuchang exhaled a sullen breath: "I still feel anxious. Could it be that we have been in the underworld for a long time and are no longer accustomed to the earthly world?"

"No, we are yin gods. I even went to hook up with a butcher at noon the day before yesterday, so I don't feel uncomfortable at all."

Hei Wuchang pondered: "By the way, what does the person you want to seduce here do?"

"This mission is not difficult. The person we want to seduce is named Zhang. He is the chief minister of the dynasty and a very high-ranking official. Just arrest him and take him back."

Bai Wuchang stretched out his fingers and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a stiff smile: "Let's be more polite later, don't keep that straight face, it's easy to offend people."

"...We are black and white, and we are not waiters. Why do we need to have a good attitude when we come here to seduce people?"

Hei Wuchang was a little unhappy: "When did our underworld have so much attention to detail? And your smile is even scarier, right?"

"Really? I haven't laughed for a long time, so I still don't laugh..."

Bai Wuchang retracted his smile in dismay: "It's quite strange this time. I read the list. As long as we take back the official ticket, we can get a full 10,000 yuan of ghost money."

"Ten thousand strings? Did you read that correctly?"

Hei Wuchang was stunned: "We used to work for only 2,000 coins a year, but this time our superiors found out?"

"It's clearly written in black and white on the paper, but it doesn't seem like the city lord has placed this order, and there's no signature."

"No signature? That must be a big shot. Could it be the decree from Emperor Fengdu?"

Hei Wuchang hesitated for a moment: "That's not right. There is Master Fan and Master Xie beside the Emperor. Who will get the two of us, Xiao Wuchang?"

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much. The big shots must have their own considerations."

"Perhaps the big shot saw this and wanted to be a judge or something like that."

Bai Wuchang put away the documents: "The judge is also an official, so I ask you to be polite. Don't let this person become our boss in the future and put our little shoes on."

"What Lao Bai said makes sense."

Hei Wuchang pondered: "Then let's make things more beautiful."

"Well, we have accumulated some wealth over the years. With these rewards, we can buy a big house in Wusi City."

"Wait a minute! The richer the reward from the underworld, the more difficult the task will be!"

Hei Wuchang reacted suddenly: "You need to figure it out first, don't look back and find that this official is a great master. Then we will beat the dog with meat buns, and there will be no return."

"Don't worry! This noodle's spiritual energy is almost exhausted, and there is no way to the underworld at all. Even a martial arts master can live for more than a hundred years at most before turning into dust."

"The spiritual energy here has only begun to become stronger in the past few years, but the foundation has been insufficient in the past few years. There are not even a few serious monks."

"According to the book of life and death, although this high-ranking official is a very popular minister, he only has some rudimentary martial arts skills and no magical powers. With our abilities, ah...ah sneeze!"

Bai Wuchang wiped his nose: "This place is so tight, I feel a little uncomfortable all over, should we get things done quickly?"

"It's long overdue."

Hei Wuchang didn't want to stay any longer: "There are too many living people here. It's a waste of time to look for them one by one. You'll be disappointed, Lao Bai. Look where that person is."

"Well, as the chief minister of the current dynasty, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, so naturally he is in an official position and has strong luck."

Bai Wuchang recited the magic formula and reached out to touch his eyes: "So, let's see who has the best luck here."

The next moment, Bai Wuchang groaned, with a little pain on his face.

"Huh? Lao Bai, what's wrong with you?"

"Damn, what the hell!"

Bai Wuchang pointed to the small building not far away and said bitterly: "The luck over there is extremely prosperous. Just now I used the method of looking at the gas to peek, and the luck of that person backfired and I had to live for ten days and a half." to recover.”

"So, Zhang Daguan lives there?"

Hei Wuchang was a little confused: "I don't think so..., can the fate of a dying person be so rich?"

"Anyway, the luck I just saw is really outrageous, even if it's an emperor throughout the ages, it's just like this."

Bai Wuchang let out a sullen breath: "That's not right. If the man named Zhang is so lucky, then why should he be the chief assistant? Wouldn't it be better to just become the emperor?"

"Is this person destined by the emperor to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor once he acts?"

Hei Wuchang guessed: "Since he has the fate of an emperor and is protected by the luck of the dynasty, this talent has been reluctant to die, so we two brothers have to come and see him off."

"Is it so powerful?"

Bai Wuchang sighed: "I just thought it was simple. It's a bit difficult to make money today."

"What are you afraid of! We are born as Wuchang, and we have the power to draw souls."

"If that person doesn't have magical powers, we can still take him even if his luck is strong."

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger! Since the reward is so generous, it doesn't matter if the luck is backlashed."

Hei Wuchang gritted his teeth: "Even the emperor of the ages cannot escape birth, old age, sickness and death. Since we are right, at most we will lose a few years of Taoism!"

"It has to be like this..."

Bai Wuchang pondered: "The living will definitely not see us. Let's draw out his soul first, and then slowly talk to him. Remember to speak as politely as possible."

"Okay!"

Hei Wuchang shook the mourning stick in his hand, making a faint ghost cry: "Let's go!"

"Wait a minute."

At this time, the soft and clear male voice sounded directly beside the ears of Heibai Wuchang.

"Hmm?"

The Black and White Impermanence were shocked and turned their heads in a hurry.

At some point, a young man in a Confucian robe appeared ten feet behind them, looking at them with some amusement.

"You, you..."

The White Impermanence was a little incoherent: "You are a living person? Why can a living person see us brothers? No, who are you?"

"My name is Lin Xuan, and I have been waiting for you for several days."

Lin Xuan said calmly: "The small building you just saw is a guest room, and it is now temporarily occupied by Emperor Hongwu. Emperor Hongwu's life span is not over yet, and you have taken his soul away for no reason. I am afraid it makes no sense."

Although Zhang Juzheng looked like he was about to die, his work efficiency was still very high.

After talking with Lin Xuan and Zhu Yuanzhang for half an hour, they basically discussed the matter.

These days, the construction of Genshan Tower has also started.

Old Zhu thought about it and proposed that Hai Rui be the supervisor to be responsible for the acceptance of the entire project.

Hai Rui was not vague either. He packed up his bedding and went to the construction site directly. He set extremely strict standards and inspected day and night.

After seeing Hai Rui's work attitude...

Colleagues stationed in Nanjing felt relieved, while officials of all sizes from the six ministries who participated in the tower construction project had a splitting headache.

The tower was completed. In the remaining few days, Lin Xuan promised to take Zhu Yuanzhang to the territories of the major vassal kings to fish.

Seeing the chaos in various places, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very angry and scolded the vassal kings.

As for who to choose as a puppet emperor, that was Zhu Yuanzhang's family affair, and Lin Xuan was too lazy to care.

Anyway, although Zhang Juzheng's body was weak, he could make the Genshan Pearl glow faintly, and he was qualified to be the tower master.

As long as Zhang Juzheng's dead air was removed, and he was mentally recovered, and then he looked at the "him and me" in the mirror, he should be able to leave this world.

But Lin Xuan had never been to the underworld of this plane, and did not know the corresponding shuttle channel.

The underworld should be similar to the other world. Lin Xuan is not sure whether this place shares the same underworld with A Chinese Ghost Story.

Considering that the speed of time in different worlds is different, it is very likely that after he goes to the underworld, Zhang Juzheng here will just die...

Lin Xuan thinks it is better to be cautious and wait patiently.

Things went smoothly. After waiting for a few days, he met the Black and White Impermanence who came to collect souls.

"Lin Xuan? Where did I hear this name? Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

White Impermanence pondered: "You said that person is the Hongwu Emperor? No wonder the dragon energy on that person is so strong, this makes sense..."

"It makes sense!"

Black Impermanence had a dark face: "How could the Hongwu Emperor appear here?"

He was somewhat relieved in his heart.

Although the Black and White Impermanence have the power to collect souls, they can only use it on people whose life span is marked as over in the Book of Life and Death.

If they collect the Hongwu Emperor for no reason, it would be a serious dereliction of duty...

The backlash of cause and effect would be terrifying.

If you are lucky, your lifelong cultivation will be destroyed and you will become a ghost.

If you are unlucky, you will be wiped out.

Just thinking about it makes people sweat.

"I brought him here to have a look."

Lin Xuan smiled and pointed to the backyard: "Mr. Zhang is in the backyard, why would I lie to you about this?"

"You brought him here? Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us."

Bai Wuchang was stunned for a moment, and used the method of looking at the backyard: "There is indeed a person with great luck in the backyard. Although he is not as good as Emperor Hongwu, he is also a dragon among men. That person is indeed dying, and he should be the one we are looking for."

"Okay!"

Hei Wuchang bowed to Lin Xuan: "Thank you very much! But there is a difference between yin and yang, so it is inconvenient to say more, and I will leave now."

"Please stay!"

Lin Xuan took a step forward, and his figure appeared in front of Heibai Wuchang.

"Hmm?"

The eyelids of the Black and White Impermanence jumped at the same time, and they subconsciously clenched their mourning sticks: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"To be honest, I originally thought that the Book of Life and Death was stolen by a thief, so I planned to catch the thief."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Since you two are serious underworld gods, that's another matter. Let's talk about reason."

"Talk about reason? What reason?"

"I want to ask Mr. Zhang for help with something, which involves the fate of humanity, so I can't let you take his soul."

Lin Xuan pondered and said: "Well, I won't make it difficult for you. You take me to see the person who gave the order, and I will ask him to take back his order."

"Hmph! What a joke! The Book of Life and Death says that this gentleman has reached the end of his life. Even if we don't go to collect his soul, he will only become a lonely ghost."

Hei Wuchang sneered: "The Book of Life and Death is in the Hades Palace, involving the cause and effect of all living beings. Even gods may not have the courage to change it."

"Well, humans and ghosts are different. Who would think that life is too long and really go to the Hades Palace?"

Bai Wuchang continued: "Although you have some magical powers, we brothers may not be your opponents. But we are just..., hiss! This this..."

"You, you..., that's not right!"

Hei Wuchang stared blankly at the green air lingering on Lin Xuan's fingers, and his tall and thin body trembled like a malaria: "Great Immortal, what's in your hand?"

The green air was very faint, as if it was there and not there, but it exuded the supreme Yang breath.

But looking at this wisp of green air, Hei Bai Wuchang suddenly had an indescribable palpitation.

It seemed that as long as he touched it, his Yin body would be annihilated and turned into ashes.

Faced with this terrifying existence, both Wuchang chose to follow their hearts.

"This is Donghua's most mysterious energy."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I have been to the King of Hell several times. It is not as scary as you say."

"Dong, Donghua..."

Black and White Wuchang sweated profusely and knelt on the ground: "We are also following orders. Emperor, please spare my life!"

"Get up, I know that things are not up to you, so I just let you lead the way."

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves: "If you must capture this person's soul, I will accompany Mr. Zhang to the King of Hell."

"The Emperor enlightens the mysterious art and creates all things. How dare we trouble the Emperor!"

White Wuchang Chang said hurriedly: "If the emperor intends to enlighten this person, then this person has his own divine position, so he will not be included in the Book of Life and Death, and we can report to the emperor."

"Is there such a rule?"

"It has always been like this. Not to mention the gods with duties, even Laojun's fire-burning boy will not be included in the Three Realms, Five Elements, and Six Paths of Reincarnation. The underworld has no right to ask."

"That's good. Then I will find a job for Mr. Zhang and remove his name from the Book of Life and Death."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly: "Who ordered you to come here? Don't I need to inform you?"

It seems that gods still have some privileges.

Not only can they live forever, but they can also ascend to heaven with their families.

Well, speaking of Laojun's boy...

The abstract things like King Jinjiao and King Yinjiao do have some Taoism skills and are not so easy to die.

No wonder everyone wants to be a god.

Of course, the Book of Life and Death does not seem to be too authoritative.

Sun Wukong can even remove the names of his monkeys and descendants.

Even if the matter was reported to the Jade Emperor, it was not changed back.

As a result, a group of monkeys no longer need to eat Tang Monk's flesh to achieve immortality.

It's really a bit abstract.

"This task document is a bit strange. I don't know which great power issued it, and we dare not speculate."

Bai Wuchang looked respectful: "But as long as the emperor writes the reason on it, the person will feel it. If there is any objection, the person should come to see the emperor in person."

"That's good."

Lin Xuan waved his hand and condensed a brush, and wrote the position of the master of Genshan Tower arranged for Zhang Juzheng on the document: "Did Mr. Zhang really die of old age?"

The construction of the Zhutian Tower was so grand that it couldn't be concealed.

Finding an excuse to deal with it casually is a bit of a disdain for each other's IQ.

Just tell the truth.

If the other party has any plans, then we can use our own means.

This tower is a magic weapon. Once it is built, it has its own protective function, so it can't be broken by a touch.

"According to the Book of Life and Death, this Prime Minister should have died a year ago, but he was forced to stay alive by various means."

Bai Wuchang handed over the document and said thankfully: "Fortunately, the spiritual energy here was too thin before, so we couldn't come here to take souls, otherwise we would offend the emperor."

"According to the rules, there is nothing wrong with that."

Lin Xuan handed the document to Bai Wuchang: "Thank you for bothering me."

"I dare not."

Hei Bai Wuchang bowed repeatedly: "Then I will go back and report. If there are powerful people blaming me, please help the emperor to say a few good words."

"Don't worry about this mess."

Just then, a soft female voice sounded in the ears of the three people: "I'm not that old woman. I always pay attention to the fact that every grievance has its perpetrator, so how could I make things difficult for someone who is doing things?"

It was as if the spiritual energy of the whole world gathered towards the source of the sound, turning into an extremely magnificent formation diagram.

The void trembled, and a middle-aged woman in a black imperial robe suddenly appeared on the formation diagram.

The woman had a dignified appearance, wearing a phoenix crown on her head, and her imperial robe was embroidered with mountains, rivers, the earth, the netherworld, yin and yang, and all things in gold thread, which looked extremely luxurious.

But combined with her noble temperament, this luxury became sacred, gentle but high and mighty.

It made people feel ashamed of themselves.

"You you..."

The Black and White Impermanence suddenly reacted and knelt on the ground hurriedly: "We are here to pay our respects to the Empress Hou Tu, the Emperor of the Earth!"

"So this handwritten order was issued by the Empress."

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly, and he bowed to the Empress Hou Tu: "I am Lin Xuan, and I have met the Empress Hou Tu."

Empress Hou Tu is one of the "Four Imperial Gods" of Taoism, in charge of the reproduction of yin and yang, the beauty of all things, and the mountains and rivers of the earth, similar to the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

But if the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Chu Ci" are compared with each other, it can be seen that before the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hou Tu was presented to the people in the folk as the Lord of the Netherworld.

According to her status, the power she controls should be higher than that of the Lord of Mount Tai and others.

In most prehistoric flows, it is simply set that her main body is incarnated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and she uses the nickname "Pingxin Niangniang" instead, and her strength in the underworld is comparable to that of a saint.

If that is the case, then we can only handle official business impartially and follow the rules of the Six Paths.

Fortunately, this Hou Tu should still be a personified god, and we can still communicate.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, there is no need to be polite."

Hou Tu returned the greeting and looked at Heibai Wuchang: "I already know what happened here, you can go back and report. The reward money is still the same, so it won't be a wasted trip."

"Thank you, Niangniang!"

It was the first time that Heibai Wuchang saw such a big leader, his head was buzzing, and he could hardly control his body.

The two struggled for a few times, and then bowed to Niangniang Hou Tu tremblingly, and then escaped into the void.

"I've heard them mention you, but I didn't expect you to be like this."

The Queen Mother of the Underworld smiled slightly: "The Underworld is actually not simple either. They have to intervene in all aspects. The Emperor had a fight with Buddhism a few days ago, but now my Taoism has the upper hand."

"Just the upper hand?"

Lin Xuan's mind moved slightly: "Is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva still here?"

"Only Vairocana and Acala died in Buddhism that time, while Maitreya and Ksitigarbha have returned."

"The Great Heavenly Venerable guessed that this was actually a calculation within Buddhism, and even Even the Buddha was involved. "

Hou Tu Niangniang smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. Now Ksitigarbha is also seriously injured, and his influence in the underworld has been greatly weakened. He is just relying on the rules of heaven and earth to survive in the depths of the underworld."

"Your Majesty's description is quite interesting."

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed: "With your status, you should not care about the prime minister of the world, but is there any inconvenience for your Majesty?"

"You are quite direct in speaking. There is indeed something that needs to be done by someone with strong luck."

"I saw Zhang Juzheng Since his life span has ended, let the Black and White Impermanence take him back to the underworld, explain the matter, and then let him reincarnate. "

"Originally, I planned to do something else when you intervened in this matter. But since you took the initiative to mention it, I will mention it. I wonder if you are willing to do it yourself?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "No matter how prosperous Zhang Juzheng is, how can he be compared with the Emperor Donghua?"

"Your Highness, please tell me."

"It's not difficult, but only a few people can do it."

"When the Emperor goes to the Conferred God Plane, you might as well go overseas Fairy Mountain, stick this talisman on a huge rock. ”

Hou Tu Niangniang took out a yellow talisman from her sleeve: "I have marked the specific location behind the talisman. If you act as the emperor, you will be safe."

"Overseas fairy mountain? Does it have a name?"

"If it is in the Conferred God plane, it is just an isolated island with only a group of monkeys living on the mountain, and there is no mountain name."

Hou Tu Niangniang smiled calmly: "But if it corresponds to the world of Yama, that place is called Aolai Country, and that mountain is called Huaguo Mountain."

Lin Xuan: "..."
