I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?
Chapter 45 The road is chosen by oneself
Although "reform" is only two words, it can affect the lives of most living ghosts to an unimaginable extent.
Ever since Yang Xu announced that the reincarnation channel of the entire Yangzhou Yinting would be closed indefinitely, all the living ghosts in the city were in an uproar.
The terrifying momentum created was like a raging ocean tide, sweeping across every corner inside and outside the city.
For most living ghosts, the first reaction upon hearing the news was shock, and the second reaction was collapse.
On that day, the ghost soldiers patrolling the city dealt with no less than a hundred vicious incidents of looting, smashing, burning, and burning, and the collapse of people's spiritual faith.
Many innate male ghosts also shook their heads when they saw this gloomy scene.
Fortunately, the official power of the Tongpan Mansion quickly suppressed these chaotic thoughts with their proactive statements.
"Isn't it just that I can't reincarnate? What are you afraid of? I've already died once anyway."
"The place where we live is the Yin Court. Ghosts have no lifespan limit. As long as they have Yin energy to nourish them, they can live for thousands of years. It's easier than a turtle."
"There's neither oppression nor slavery here. The Yin Court even lets us cultivate the land and ensures food security. The more we work, the more we earn. What are you dissatisfied with?"
"You're the only one who talks too much and spreads rumors. What's the point of going to the human world? Living for decades, experiencing hunger, cold, poverty, illness, separation, and death, and then reincarnating? You're just bored!"
"Haven't you seen that Yangzhou has fully opened up the threshold for cultivating immortals? Any living ghost with the idea can receive the basic skills and practice on their own starting today?"
"Hey, hey, maybe if I cultivate for a thousand or eight hundred years, I can even become a clay statue and be deified among the mortals. If I can become a ghost immortal, I will be even more free and easy."
Similar remarks were heard one after another in Yangzhou City, which to a great extent alleviated the fear of those ghosts who could not be reincarnated.
When Xu An and a group of ghost messengers arrived, they really started to arrange the settlement matters.
When the secret techniques and strategies that were only available to various immortal cultivation sects in the human world came into the hands of the ghosts, the emotions of most of the living ghosts finally stabilized.
Only a small number of living ghosts still stubbornly thought about reincarnation, and an even smaller number of living ghosts smelled the possibility of making a difference in this chaos.
Inside the city, the situation seemed to be gradually stabilizing, but the Red and Green Impermanence, as well as the Yin soldiers and generals, were not idle at all.
As they were doing their usual thing, they looked at the thousands of ghosts gathered over there. In the center, high up, Xu An was talking incessantly. They couldn't help but look at each other.
Before, they had a slight conflict with Xu An, and it was not very pleasant.
At the moment, although Yang Wei values Xu An, his speed of cultivation and some things he does are indeed very good.
On the surface, they were planning to reconcile with each other, but the resentment deep in their hearts still existed.
Thinking of this, Green Eyed Impermanence couldn't help but say:
"Everyone, Lord Xu is laying out his land reclamation plan. As colleagues, why don't we go and take a look?"
The Red-Nosed Grim Reaper and the Yinbing generals all chuckled and said that they should go and take a look. Then they moved over with the intention of seeing him make a fool of himself.
After all, they didn't believe that a young boy like Xu An could really command thousands of ghosts.
After all, in their opinion, Xu An was able to catch all these ghosts because of Mu Linjiang.
Is relying on women also considered a skill?
"Mr. Xu, you are here?"
"Are they busy setting up settlements?"
After separating the ghost groups, Honglv Wuchang had a gloomy look on his face and asked questions even though he knew the answer anyway, with a look of being laughed at written all over his face.
"Indeed, you gentlemen are here to give me some advice?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xu An did not break off relations with them, but maintained basic courtesy.
"With you, Lord Xu, here, it's not our turn to speak. We came here to see how Lord Xu displays his great talent and strategy, so we can learn a thing or two!"
Although the ghost soldiers' generals spoke politely, there was not much respect in their words.
He had no chance to seek revenge for being beaten by Mu Linjiang, so he had to put the blame on Xu An.
Openly, you can't cause trouble for him, but that doesn't affect his sarcasm!
After all, being sarcastic isn't against the law.
"So that's how it is. I'm not talented, so I'm sorry to show off my ugliness."
Not wanting to waste time talking to them, Xu An continued to talk about his plans in front of them.
Not long after, seeing that several Yincha adults were there, someone conspicuous could not help but stand up and asked:
"Master Xu, my lords, I have something to say."
Seeing a ghost jump out and cause trouble for Xu An, a hint of amusement suddenly appeared on the faces of Honglu Wuchang and the ghost soldiers and generals.
Even if you are driving twenty pigs, you can't prevent a few of them from running away, let alone tens of thousands of living ghosts.
There are bound to be a few who object to these arrangements.
Look, here it comes.
Xu An, let’s see how you respond.
Without the time to care about what the three hermaphrodites were thinking, Xu An looked at the living ghost who was speaking and asked:
"Hmm? If you have anything to say, just say it."
After receiving the approval, the other party said a little excitedly:
"Sir, why should we believe that the Yin Court's policies can be implemented and the conditions promised can be fulfilled?"
This statement is simple, straightforward, and even a little offensive.
But in an instant, he still expressed the thoughts of many ghosts.
They are just ordinary people. When they are alive, they are not only bullied by landlords and bullies, but also exploited by officials and gentry.
Selling children and daughters, starving people everywhere during disasters, and cannibalism are definitely not just a few words in history books.
It's the fact that happened to them.
Based on this personal experience, it takes more than just courage to believe the words of the officials.
"Why should I believe it?"
Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the seven-foot tall man who was full of worry, and chuckled softly:
"Because, you now have no choice but to believe in the Yin Court!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Follow the instructions. I will fulfill what I said."
"If you don't listen, there's nothing I can do!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many ghosts looked at Xu An, who had suddenly become an overbearing official, and their bodies could not help but tremble slightly, and even anger began to appear in their eyes.
And more ghosts saw a familiar scene on Xu An.
For a moment, a feeling of disappointment surged in my heart.
Whether in the world of the living or in the underworld, officials are indeed like this.
They were too naive and actually thought that this young ghost messenger would consider their interests.
"What, you don't accept it?"
Xu An was not surprised by this scene. He looked at this group of living ghosts with negative emotions. He then put his hands behind his back and continued:
"You choose your own path."
"Of course you can disobey my orders and leave on your own, and seek a way to survive in the Yangzhou Yin Court. I don't blame any of you."
"But what I want to say is that if anyone wants to take advantage of this situation to cause chaos, then you can't blame me for being ruthless!"
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. My Yin Court has strict laws. For those who cause trouble, there is only one outcome, and that is the scattering of the soul!"
