The settings and laws of this ghost town may not be very mature yet, but they are already quite complete and can completely guarantee the operation of this small world.

Essentially, it refers to the rules of the underworld.

There are naturally flaws, but every era has its own rules. It is coordinated with the times. It is not only in line with the times, but also the most mature system cultivated by this era. It is a problem to force changes.

Difficult things affect the whole body. If you want to change it, change it all. If you only change one place, it will be neither fish nor fowl.

Therefore, Song You mostly watched and thought. Even if there were some things that he felt were unreasonable or uncomfortable, he would only choose a few to express his opinions and not comment on the rest.

Seven days passed quickly.

Song You still found nothing.

Sanhua Empress did not find the source of the smell that she was concerned about, like smelly mice. She only knew that it permeated the air, and was thin in places and strong in places.

Looking at this, the cohesion of the underworld has been greatly accelerated, and the initial formation will probably be about ten years later. In this case, maybe the national master's plan is not at this time, but ten years later?

This possibility seems low.

However, the ghost city itself is the predecessor of the underworld. The ghost city is being rapidly improved. If it is completely perfected, until there are not many ghosts, it will not be much different from the underworld. Maybe in two or three years at most, all the official positions of the underworld will be here.

The decision was made first in the ghost town, maybe at that time?

Song You frowned and patted the cat in thought.

Indeed, it was difficult for him to substantiate his doubts about the imperial master. It was more about feelings. However, this feeling did not come out of thin air. It was woven from many details he had discovered in the past few years. However, these

The details were too fragmentary and scattered, and they could only weave together this feeling. They could not guide him to find evidence, let alone compile actual evidence.

"Meow~"

When Song You lowered his head, he saw the cat huddled on his lap, staring up at him.

"What's wrong? Empress Sanhua."

"Is that crippled Taoist priest a bad person?"

"Does Empress Sanhua think so too?"

"No, Sanhua Empress thinks you think so." The Sanhua Cat raised its head and stared at him with a serious expression, "Sanhua Empress will follow you."

"I don't know either."

"You're not smart."

"When Sanhua Empress catches a mouse, the mouse never appears, so what should I do?"

"The rats will show up!"

"rational……"

Song You nodded calmly and stretched out his hand to scratch the calico cat's chin. His mind was busy thinking and his hands were emotionless.

Domestic cats themselves are meant to be touched. Sanhua Empress didn't care and continued to look up at the Taoist. After a while, she said: "But sometimes the mouse doesn't come out because the mouse sees the cat. When the mouse sees the cat, it will

Hide and wait to see when the cat goes away."

"then what should we do?"

"Empress Sanhua taught you this!"

"rational……"

Empress Sanhua did teach Song You.

Back in Changjing, after visiting the fox demon, a drunk cat caught a mouse for the Taoist, played with it, and taught him that if the mouse didn't run away, he should turn his head and pretend not to look at it.

Very simple method.

It is also in line with Song You's wishes.

I have been here for several days. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I won't be able to find it for a few more months. What's more, the world is vast and the scenery is countless. Song You still has to travel all over the world, so he really can't stay for a long time.

No matter what, it's time to go.

Song You glanced down from the corner of his eye——

In fact, the suitcase has been packed.

"Dong dong..."

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Empress Sanhua..."

Before Song You could say anything, the cat had already rolled and fallen off his lap. When it landed, it turned half a circle, from lying on its back to landing firmly on all fours. The process was very smooth.

Then he quickly ran to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was none other than the Imperial Master.

"Thank you, Miss Sanhua."

The lame Imperial Master first smiled and saluted the cat on the ground to thank him, and then followed him inside. It wasn't until he looked at Song You that he saluted again and asked:

"How did you sleep last night, fellow Taoist?"

"very good."

"Fellow Taoist...eh?"

Only then did the Imperial Master notice the horse standing next to him and the quilt beside the horse, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"Fellow Taoist, this is..."

"It's time to say goodbye to the Imperial Master."

"Are you leaving now?"

"My purpose of visiting this time is to see the ghost city built by the Imperial Master, so as to get a glimpse of what the underworld will look like in the future. Now that I have seen it, my knowledge has been increased. I have little talent and knowledge, and I have limited advice to the Imperial Master.

After mentioning it, I can't help you with anything else." Song You said, "It's natural to leave and continue to travel elsewhere in the world."

"Why not stay a few more days?"

"We won't stay any longer. Thank you so much, Imperial Master, for your hospitality." Song You said to him, "There are old friends waiting for us outside."

"Old friend?"

"Old friend."

Song You nodded calmly and then bent down and put the quilt bag on the horse's back: "I was originally going to find the Imperial Master and say goodbye to the Imperial Master, but this time is just right. As for the Yin Qi and ghost energy here, I'm here.

This mountain of industry will then cast a spell outside to seal it."

"I would like to thank my Taoist friends on behalf of the people!"

"I just have to inform the Imperial Master..."

"All ears!"

"Although I cast a spell to seal the ghost energy of a ghost town in Yanzhou, there were only a thousand ghosts in that turtle city, and even if it increased a hundred times, it couldn't be compared to this place. The ghosts and wild ghosts should not exist in the world forever, let alone so many ghosts.

Gathered in the human world, no matter how hard I try, I can't seal it off for long."

This is quite true.

Sometimes there are powerful ghosts in the city. Just one ghost can make a house cold and permeable. For those with high moral standards, it can also affect the neighbors. Even a street seems to be shrouded in shadow. Ordinary mortals can't see it even if they are only close to it.

You will become weak and prone to illness, and you will be in a trance and have many dreams. What's more, there are nearly a million ghosts here, and there are many high-minded ghosts among them. The only good thing is that all the evil ghosts and powerful ghosts were burned to death.

The seal using only spiritual power is too weak, and without subsequent supplements, even if Song You comes to seal it, it will easily fail.

It can be guaranteed for three to five years, which is considered a long time.

"Of course." The national master obviously knew this and quickly expressed his understanding, "What Pindao originally thought was that although the large formation seal set by Pindao was not effective, fortunately the ghost energy did not spread quickly, and this place was mostly deserted.

All we need to do is to control its spread and wait until the underworld gathers together."

"The national teacher has a kind heart."

"I wonder how long your friend's seal will last?"

"One year, just one year." Song You nodded and said, paused, "Fortunately, when we go south this time, we will reach the sea after passing Yaozhou. When we get to the seaside and travel around, we should pass by Fengzhou again, or at least

Passing by Fengzhou, it is not troublesome to make another trip, so I will come back to visit the Imperial Master in a year."

"Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be so anxious." The Imperial Master laughed, "It's enough to be able to completely seal it for one year. It won't take long for the underworld to be completed. After this year's stagnation and the recovery of the underworld,

It can completely slow down the spread of ghost energy for a few years. By the time the ghost energy affects the people of Zijun, the underworld must have been condensed and formed, and it will be foolproof."

"The Imperial Master does not need to comfort those who are not tired."

It has a service life of three to five years, and it is a good idea to repair it once a year.

Song You and the Imperial Master held their hands, patted the horses, and walked out.

"Fellow Taoist has a kind heart."

The Imperial Master followed behind him with a smile on his face.

The group passed through the ghost town again, and countless ghosts were grateful for the national master's merits and saluted him. They looked at him like a god. The few who had committed crimes and were punished here feared him like a god.

Passing through the stone wall is the outside world.
