Chapter 8 With money, even the air in the underworld is sweet
The underworld is very rich, and above it is a cumulus cloud formed by infinite merits, whose thickness is unknown;
The underworld is very poor. Looking around, there are only eighty-one black jade and golden beams, and nothing else.
After the great catastrophe in ancient times, the wilderness was shattered, the way of heaven gradually became perfect, and the immortals and gods also completed their missions.
As the spiritual energy between heaven and earth dissipated, the ancient immortals and gods who were said to be as old as heaven and earth gradually passed away. Even Yama, who presided over the underworld, and all the Yin gods were integrated into the Book of the Earth.
From then on, the three realms of heaven, earth and man entered the "fully intelligent era" of self-operation.
Without those immortals and gods absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the universe would naturally not have entered the era of annihilation, and the catastrophe that shattered the world would naturally no longer exist.
However, as the three realms operated on their own, problems inevitably arose in some places.
One of them is the issue of merit.
Before the intelligent age, among the mortals in the three realms, the good ones would be led into the heavens and become immortals who lived together with heaven and earth; the evil ones would be judged by the underworld, punished in hell, and sent to the six realms of reincarnation after serving their sentences.
In this way, although there are some backlogs of ghosts in the underworld, they are still within the controllable range of the entire Yincha mechanism.
But in the intelligent age, there are no more immortals and gods in heaven, and no more underworld officials in the underworld. All mortals will be automatically drawn to the underworld after death, and after their merits and sins are cut off, they will directly enter the reincarnation channel. The only difference is the speed of reincarnation.
What followed was endless excess merit, which was absorbed by the underworld and then formed a cloud of merit in the sky.
However, being in the underworld, those merit clouds appear gloomy.
After a long period of evolution, the merits in the underworld have formed thick cumulus clouds and began to impact the barrier between heaven and earth.
Once the boundary between heaven and earth is gone, the underworld and the human world will be connected, and the three realms of heaven, earth and man will be in uncontrollable chaos.
The Great Dao of the Evolution of Heaven and Earth noticed this problem, began to adjust itself, and activated the correction system of the underworld.
The first thing the underworld did to correct the system was to make the Book of the Earth recognize its master, so that the underworld would have a King Yama again and use human rule to improve the loopholes in the intelligent system.
"100 Yin Yuan can be exchanged for a quilt to protect the Yin God, 100 Yin Yuan can be exchanged for a mattress to nourish the Yin God, 200 Yin Yuan can be exchanged for two first-level Yin Jades, 200 Yin Yuan can be exchanged for a set of Yin God clothing, and 500 Yin Yuan can be exchanged for a temporary living tent for the guardian god."
Following the introduction in the Book of Earth, Huang Yang spent 1100 Yin Yuan to purchase the things he needed most.
The quilts and mattress pads produced by Dishu can make Huang Yang more comfortable when resting in the tent, and can also continue to nourish his soul.
The Yin God costume worth 200 can be transformed into three kinds of daily clothing. When the Yin God wears it, it can automatically isolate himself from the cold wind of the underworld, allowing the soul to feel warm at all times.
As for the Guardian brand temporary living tent worth 500 Yin Yuan, it is a new product that Huang Yang is currently using to expand his live broadcast business.
The ghosts living in the guardian tent can temporarily escape the suction of the reincarnation team, and the ghosts can be nurtured so that the souls preparing for reincarnation can enjoy the most comfortable rest time in the underworld and avoid the suffering of the cold wind blowing every day.
Living in the guardian tent for a long time will increase the soul's own merits. Besides protecting relatives on earth, it can also ensure reincarnation into the human race in the future, and the probability of being born into a wealthy family will greatly increase.
This is just like the VIP treatment that people who have done good deeds in Chinese mythology enjoy when they enter the underworld after death.
"One Guardian tent can accommodate two people. I hope I can earn back my investment several times over during the next live broadcast."
Looking at the guardian tent outside Tent No. 1 where he lived, Huang Yang touched his chin, thinking about making several times the profit from the 50000 tips in tomorrow's live broadcast.
Are you kidding? The treasure produced by Dishu is the only one of its kind. It is a guardian tent with a monopoly position, and the price is decided by him, the new King of Hell.
"sleep."
After taking care of the most urgent supplies, Huang Yang looked at the 111.22 Yin Yuan left in his account and did not continue spending it, saving it for emergencies.
In the tent worth 100 Yin Yuan, Huang Yang lay on a mattress worth 100 Yin Yuan, covered with a quilt worth 100 Yin Yuan, holding Yin Jade worth 100 Yin Yuan in each hand, and slowly fell into a deep sleep. After coming to the underworld for a few days, Huang Yang felt the warmth he felt as a mortal for the first time.
It was like a scientific researcher in the Arctic Ocean returning to the warm zone for the first time, enjoying the warm sunshine on his body, making him feel warm all over.
Comfortable, this is what the King of Hell should enjoy!
"Uh, ah."
After a night's sleep, Huang Yang stretched and felt refreshed.
Huang Yang put the two dimmed Yin jades into the Earth Book space, changed into the Yin God suit worth 200 Yin Yuan, transformed into a more popular white Ming Dynasty Hanfu, and then walked out of the tent leisurely.
This time, the cold wind from the underworld was isolated by the formation of the Yin Shen suit and transformed into a warm spring breeze. Huang Yang closed his eyes and took a breath comfortably.
Sure enough, with money, even the air in the underworld is sweet and the wind is warm.
"It's still nine in the morning, let's go shopping first."
Huang Yang, wearing a white brocade robe, looked at the time displayed by the Earth Book System, and then began his daily mandatory inspection.
As the new King of Hell, the entire underworld is his territory. Huang Yang naturally needs to familiarize himself with it to avoid any problems.
The space of the underworld is boundless. Even if he used the flashing function to look at it for a few days, he only saw the tip of the iceberg.
However, after the intelligent system took over the operation of the underworld, the scenery of the underworld space became a bit monotonous, with vast plains that were all the same, without even a mountain.
Looking around, the plain was filled with teams of ghosts waiting for reincarnation. It looked spectacular at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it was just like that.
There is not a single living person, nor a single ghost to chat with. This underworld space is a bit too monotonous.
"Di Shu, can I watch a short video of the human world?"
Huang Yang, who had been walking around for half a day, suddenly had an idea in his mind and he immediately asked.
Although he only has two hours of live broadcast privileges every day, it does not mean that he cannot watch short videos from the human world during the rest of the time.
"Dear, yes, but it will cost you 1 Yin Yuan per hour. In addition, you can get the comment and reward function for free when you first activate it, but each comment will cost you 1 Yin Yuan, and the reward function will charge you a 0.1% handling fee."
Hearing the master's question, the Earth Book System responded kindly.
“No, why do you have to pay to watch short videos, comment on them, and give tips?”
After receiving the reply from the Earth Book, Huang Yang opened his eyes wide, as if he saw the legendary Huang Pa Pi.
The cost of watching short videos is 1 Yin Yuan per hour, which is 100 yuan in human currency. It is several times more expensive than the VIP box in the ordinary Chinese Internet cafe where drinks are free.
One comment costs 0.1 Yin Yuan, which is equivalent to 10 Hua Yuan. It's really a rip-off.
The most important thing is that the reward function actually charges a 15% handling fee, which is not even worth winning the lottery.
Well, it seems like winning the mundane lottery is the worst, this is incomparable.
Anyway, this reward will cost a high handling fee of 15%, which Huang Yang simply cannot understand.
