Chapter 292 Can You Get Incense? (4,000 words)(1/2)
Although Su Bai is not very clear about the principle that Yin Luoteng can block these black shadow monsters so far, now he only needs these useful things.
Let the ghost soldiers patrol around to avoid disturbing them. At the same time, he took the seeds he had obtained from the stranger before and began to sprinkle them along the edge area.
Whenever a seed comes into contact with the soil, it will quickly absorb the surrounding yin energy and begin to take root and sprout, and soon grow stems and leaves, just like a newborn baby, greedily sucking the surrounding "breast milk".
Yin Qi almost squeezed into the seedlings in a spiral-shaped whirlwind shape, and they were like bottomless pits that were not deep, without any hesitation, and they were all converted into their own nutrients and grew rapidly.
In a blink of an eye, it began to develop towards a mature form from the original seeds!
Even the first plants planted had already grown young buds at this time, preparing for the subsequent bloom.
After the seeds were sprinkled, the thick fog around the surroundings began to become thinner, and from the original inability to reach out, the general appearance gradually became clear.
Of course, the most important thing is that after these Yin Luotengs take root, sprout and grow, they form a closed city wall, which divides this area into two disconnected areas inside and outside, forming a safe area.
The shadow monsters outside who were still rushing towards this side after sensing the sound here all slowed down.
It was as if they had sensed something, especially when the seeds of Yin Luoteng gradually grew and matured, they stopped completely, and even some of the poor resistance had begun to slowly stay away from here.
To understand the image a little more, it is probably like a zombie smelling garlic in a plant vs. zombies.
Even if someone doesn't give up, they just stagger around the outer circle, and they still keep a certain distance, as if they want to find a loophole to get in.
It seems that although these things do not have the wisdom of humans, they still have the intuition to hunt like wild animals.
Of course, Su Bai did not give them a chance to sneak in, but asked Su Yun and the baby monster to kill all the black shadows who dared to get too close, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.
By the time the work was finally completed, all the seeds in my hand had been used up.
In the end, there were even some gaps that were too big. After thinking about it, Su Bai dug a few Yin Luo vines planted on both sides of the road to transplant them here.
Anyway, there are ghosts and other Yin gods who often walk through these roads, so there will basically be no danger.
After all the work was completed, Su Bai nodded with satisfaction at the yin energy around him that was so thin that it did not affect his vision at all.
"From the future, this area will be planned as a ghost town where innocent ghosts move. Although the scope is shorter for the time being, it can continue to expand in the future."
With a circular range of one kilometer in diameter, after removing the Chenghuang Mansion at the center of the circle, it should be enough to squeeze the remaining area.
In addition, looking at this empty and deserted area, he thought for a while and turned to a ghost man at hand: "Go and find out if there are any talented ghosts like designers or municipal planning."
"Well, this kind of talent should be considered as the introduction of talents. You can consider giving them preferential treatment. Although it may not necessarily give them a place for Yin Shen, it can still make them live a better life in the underworld."
He also has to consider these modern talents.
After all, it is now an era of high-tech. There is no way to develop various information flows in the mortal world. The underworld still follows the oldest book, and even the ones that record ghost information are the oldest books, and they have to be handwritten.
If this is spread, he himself looks down on this old antique.
Since he is rebuilding from scratch, it is better to just do something modern.
Maybe you can even get computers in the underworld or something.
By the way, there is also the auto repair shop mentioned earlier. It is also good to carry out transportation construction in the underworld.
And these also require a lot of talents and incense, the most important thing is the one behind.
He had a rough idea in his mind, and he was ready after the follow-up preparation was ready.
However, when he went back, he accidentally caught Ge Ningjian's look hesitant, as if he had something to say.
"If you have anything to say, don't hesitate."
Ge Ningjian nodded and finally mustered up the courage to raise his questions.
"Sir, I am so stupid. Why do you care so much about the residence of these ghosts? After all, they will be sent to be reincarnated sooner or later. It is not important to live here, and there is no need to waste our limited resources before building this so-called ghost town."
He had heard Su Bai mention it before, and roughly knew that the current reconstruction of the underworld would consume a lot of resources, and incense was one of them.
Now that the incense is limited, I really don’t understand how to get these external objects.
Su Bai was not surprised, but just smiled and said, "What you said makes sense, but this is just to understand it from your perspective."
"Do you think that if people in the mortal world know that their loved ones and lovers will live in the underworld after death, do you think they want their loved ones to live comfortably and enjoy life here, or are they as casual as you said, or even imprisoned like prisoners?"
"this……"
Ge Ningjian frowned and pondered for a moment, and seemed to understand a little, but he still couldn't fully understand the profound meaning. He could only follow this idea.
"If I were a relative of those who died, I would hope that even their souls would enjoy happiness rather than suffering."
He thought of his father and thought about what actions he would take if he was in that situation. After he felt his inner feelings, he couldn't help but feel a little silent.
After all, this is human nature.
As he said before, it was too utilitarian and did not regard these ghosts as people with emotions and needs.
Looking back now, it is indeed not appropriate, and I can't help feeling ashamed.
Su Bai also nodded and sighed.
"Yes, so I have considered this. Once we truly implement the rules of the first seven, let those ghosts go home and let mortals know the existence of ghosts, the idea that people who hope to be more important can live in the underworld will definitely appear on a large scale."
"Then it will be our chance to earn incense!"
This can probably be considered a killing of two birds with one stone, and each one can get what you need.
"So that's it!" Ge Ningjian nodded suddenly, but then he was a little confused, "But sir, how can we harvest their incense like this?"
Let everyone go to the City God Temple to burn incense and worship?
Yes, but overall, it's not very efficient.
This kind of behavior of burning incense and praying is also difficult to control. For example, if you pray to let your relatives live a better life below, how can you measure this degree? How good is it to be considered and how good is it?
Moreover, only Su Bai can accept these incense, which means that he has to stay next to the statue for twenty-four hours all day to absorb the incense and fulfill those insignificant wishes of ordinary people?
This is simply unrealistic!
It shouldn't be his turn to take action like this.
Ge Ningjian was a little worried that Su Bai might be too busy in the future, resulting in all his efforts in the early stage being wasted.
Fortunately, Su Bai has already had a rough idea.
He smiled and said, "Do you remember the paper I bought in the mortal world to renovate that car?"
"Of course I remember." Ge Ningjian nodded.
He had observed the process of repairing the two ghosts before and learned a little about it.
Then, he realized something and his expression changed.
“You mean…”
"Well, I've discovered in previous experiments that it's useless to burn paper directly. It must contain incense to be received."
Su Bai's lips curled up slightly and said slowly: "In other words, if they hope that their relatives can enjoy those good things, they must sincerely ignite the incense before they can send the paper over."
"And these incenses can also be used for us!"
In other words, it doesn't matter if they don't come to burn incense to the City God. He can use tricks to get enough incense.
Ge Ningjian suddenly realized and then realized the reason why Su Bai had to spend his energy to build this ghost town.
"I am worthy of being an adult, and I am indeed far-sighted!" He sincerely admired him. Looking at the current deserted land, he was still a little surprised that this place might become the main source of incense in the future.
"Okay, there is no need to say anything about flattery." Su Bai said, "The construction here has just begun, and there are still many things to do next, so you have to arrange them as soon as possible."
This matter sounds simple, but it still takes time to realize it.
And if those paper pieces contain incense and burn them, how to extract some of them for your own use is also a problem.
Finally, after discussion with the Yin Gods, he came to a temporary conclusion.
Establish a unified underworld post office!
In other words, all the things burned in the mortal world must pass through this underworld post office, and at the cost, he will draw a portion of the incense from it as postage.
To this end, he also needed to recruit a group of people to start building the first post office in the underworld.
Fortunately, there is no need for much preparation in this regard, and even the house can be temporarily borrowed from the interior of the Chenghuang Temple.
Postal deliverymen don’t need any strong power, and at first they just need to let those ordinary ghosts work part-time.
Similarly, these ghosts to be selected must be honest people who have no record of committing crimes.
After everything was almost ready, Su Bai nodded officially and planned to start the first batch of experiments...
...
Old Man Liu has been dead for several days, and he has not counted the specific time. Anyway, he has been in a daze since he died.
I just remember that after I died, I was caught by a strangely dressed man. After passing through a thick white mist, I came to a deserted place, and then...
Only then did he realize that there really is an underworld in the world!
I saw too many terrifying things here. I saw a ghost cut into two pieces still wailing, but I couldn't run away and was caught by a cold-faced ghost messenger into a hall.
Soon afterwards, there were even more terrifying screams, which made him feel creepy.
He learned from the ghost who led the way that it was a place to punish those who committed evil in their lifetime. Any serious sins and evil will be punished accordingly, and there will never be a chance to escape.
He was so scared that his legs were trembling, racking his brains to try to recall what wrong he had done in his life, and was so frightened that he didn't know what kind of punishment he would be subject to.
To be continued...
