I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 44: Ceremony of Ascension
As you step inside, you will find the hall is empty and quiet, with rows of bookshelves lined up one after another.

According to Lu Wujiu's plan, the first floor will store books about the customs and habits of various places in the mortal world. As for where these books will come from?
——The souls who have entered the underworld are the best storytellers.

The second floor contains books from the world of the living.

When Lu Wujiu stepped onto the second floor, he saw Zhou Zhong sitting at a long table in the empty hall, flipping through books.

It was not until Lu Wujiu approached that he realized it and quickly stood up and bowed, saying:

"Your humble servant Zhou Zhong is here to greet Angel Lu."

"No gift!"

Lu Wujiu waved his hand and asked, "Did you find out?"

Zhou Zhong quickly said, "I've found two books with some relevant records. I wonder if they meet the angel's requirements."

Lu Wujiu sat down at the long table and said, "Bring it here and let me see it."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zhong hurriedly took the book, bowed and handed it to him, then stood by and watched Lu Wujiu flipping through it, feeling very uneasy.

A few days ago, Lu Tianshi suddenly summoned him and wanted to set up a Sutra Library, but he was short of a Pavilion Master and asked him if he was willing to take the position.

How could Zhou Zhong be unwilling when he had already brought his mother over?

I agreed immediately!

Just then, Tian Shi Lu waved his hand, and a nine-meter-tall, three-story building rose from the ground. Countless books flew out from the void and fell into the building.

Before long, he had another task - to look for information related to "ghosts" and "spells".

In order to complete the task, he read day and night, but so far he could only barely find two books with some records.

While Zhou Zhong was feeling extremely terrified, Lu Wujiu closed the book and let out a sigh of relief.

He finally found a way to deal with the monsters.

It's funny, he should have discovered this method a long time ago.

The book "Records of Searching for Strange Things" in his hand records a story about a hunter who was teased by a shadow. The story ends with the hunter lighting a forest fire to drive away the shadow.

The story is simple, but it contains the weaknesses of monsters.

——Afraid of light!

Lu Wujiu, who holds the remains of the monsters, is extremely certain of this result.

If he guessed correctly, the easiest way to kill the monster was to release absolute light that illuminated everything around in an instant.

Under absolute light, the monsters that lose their shadows will inevitably die.

Even if he cannot be killed, he can be isolated from the light.

"Well done! I'll put the search for information on ghosts on hold for now. If you find any new information, please notify me immediately."

Lu Wujiu sighed slightly, then waved his hand and took out a bottle of soul water and gave it to him: "This is soul water, it can strengthen your soul body! I give it to you."

"I thank the angel for his gift!"

Zhou Zhong bowed with great joy, took the soul water, and then carefully stored it away.

Lu Wujiu asked in surprise: "Why not enjoy it now?"

Zhou Zhongdao said, "I want to bring it to my mother! I was blessed by the angel to leave my mother's soul behind. However, my mother has been ill from overwork, and her soul and body are weak and in danger of disintegrating. So I think my mother needs it more."

Lu Wujiu was somewhat touched, and he took out another ball of soul water and handed it over: "Filial piety is the most important virtue, but you can't delay your own cultivation. I still need you to do something for me."

Zhou Zhong was overwhelmed by this and knelt down, saying, "I am willing to be an angel, even if it means sacrificing my life, I will not refuse."

Lu Wujiu looked at Zhou Zhong who reacted violently, with a complicated expression on his face. He couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Zhou Zhong waited for a long time before he looked up slightly and found that Lu Wujiu had left. Then he stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

As the son of the former judge of Fengdu, to be honest, his life in Fengdu was not satisfactory.

All the ghost officials felt an unspeakable alienation and even hostility towards him.

He could understand the source of this hostility. Back then, in order to show their loyalty to Lu Tianshi, the entire court of ghosts and officials had besieged Judge Zhou like crazy. Now, how could they not harbor resentment when seeing his son?
Fortunately, Tian Shi Lu activated him, which made his situation much better.

Now, for such a small thing, he rewards me with soul water. Does this mean he values ​​me more?

Could it be that he is needed to check and balance the civil and military officials in the court?

Zhou Zhong, a scholar who was familiar with books such as "Bai Guan Jin" and "Zhu Lian Xu Lun", couldn't help but guess what Lu Wujiu was thinking.

……

……

At this time, in Lao Lu Temple, Lu Wujiu's return was like a stone thrown into a mirror lake, causing quite a stir.

However, it was not Lu Wujiu but Nishang who caused the commotion.

The disciples in the temple would pass by the Nishang Courtyard no matter what, which made Cen Ying very annoyed. She ran over to report them several times.

Nichang is a girl after all, and she is drying her underwear in the yard. How embarrassing would it be if a group of smelly men saw it?

The report made Lu Wujiu's head feel overwhelmed.

After teaching the disciples in the temple a lesson, he could only have someone move a rockery to block the door to serve as a screen wall to block the view.

Afterwards, he was too lazy to manage the Lao Lu Temple and hid in his room alone, meditating and seeking enlightenment.

During this period, the old Lushan God took time out of his busy schedule to send some frozen fruits. Although the gift was small, the sentiment was great.

This made Lu Wujiu feel quite comfortable.

Time passes by and years become chapters.

The day for the ascension ceremony of the Laolu Mountain God is approaching.

A restless atmosphere permeated the Lao Lu Temple. The disciples had lost interest in their cultivation and were standing on tiptoe, waiting for the grand ceremony to arrive.

Liu Qingtan even ordered several new sets of clothes early on, as everyone was looking forward to this banquet of gods and demons.

So when the ascension ceremony came, no one in Lao Lu Temple slept well.

Early in the morning, the disciples in the temple got up early. Everyone was busy finishing the affairs of the temple, and then they were eagerly waiting for Lu Wujiu to appear.

Unexpectedly, we had to wait until noon.

Lu Wujiu yawned and appeared outside the room in a plain white linen robe, and saw a pair of eager eyes.

"Are you all up so early?"

"Sir, you forgot that today is the ascension ceremony of the Old Lu Mountain God!"

"Oh!"

Lu Wujiu nodded, then waved his hand and said, "No rush, it won't start until dark! Let's go in the afternoon."

"what?"

Liu Qingtan was a little impatient: "Um...Sir, should we go there earlier? In case the mountain road is difficult to travel...we must reserve enough time, right?"

Lu Wujiu waved his hand: "It's okay, the mountain god and I are good friends. I want to go over. The grass and trees will make way, and the rocks will build a bridge. I won't be delayed."

"what--"

All the disciples cried out "Ah" at once, scratching their heads and ears anxiously.

"Sir, let's go early! You and the mountain god are good friends, so we can go over and lend a hand and help you."

At this time, a clear voice was heard.

The disciples looked in the direction of the voice and their eyes suddenly lit up.

But Nichang was wearing a plain white Taoist robe and a Taoist hairpin in her hair. She looked clean and tidy, but her face was made even more charming. Many disciples in the courtyard blushed when they saw her.

Seeing this, Lu Wujiu's face suddenly darkened:
"You guys have already caused enough trouble! Go, go, go to the Patriarch's Hall and meditate. I'll check back later. Whoever can't enter meditation will stay behind to guard the gate tonight."

After saying that, he went back to the house and closed the door with a bang, leaving behind a wailing sound.
