Traveling back to ancient times from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 43: Calculation and the Netherworld

The solution to the problem is simple.

Have someone buy the goods sold by the brass man and take them to the Huoyu Clan for identification. If anything wrong is found, there will be a reason to conduct a surprise inspection at his place.

"What if there is nothing wrong with his stuff?"

Xuan asked. He was familiar with the man with the bronze medal and knew that he was cunning. If it weren't for various coincidences, they would not have discovered his trace.

He has been selling herbs and pills for so many years that there wouldn't be any mistakes.

"My cousin is not engaged in business, so he naturally doesn't understand the ins and outs of it."

At this time, Jiang Rong sighed and said, "Besides, we are just looking for an excuse. As for whether there is a problem or not, isn't it up to us to decide?"

Even if there is no problem, it can be questioned as being too perfect.

The Huoyu Clan is the second largest clan in the tribe, and the rare item shop is also operated exclusively by them. Logically, Jiang Rong would not have such a plan.

However, the second leader from the Fire Feather Clan was old and lacked energy.

After Fubao failed to inherit the position of second leader and his strength was greatly reduced, the Huoyu tribe had no successor, so the Huoyu clan had been subject to provocations from the third Black Horn clan.

Even the rare goods shop was often harassed by patrols from the Black Horn Clan, so Jiang Rong knew a thing or two about the dirty business of commerce, but no one had pointed it out to her, and she had never thought that the same methods that had made her disgusted in the past could be used on others.

Yan Fang also agreed with Jiang Rong's words and expressed his own thoughts.

"Since Huang Tong was able to create fake skills and kill guards, it is highly unlikely that such a greedy and evil person would have problems with the stall he runs."

"Besides, Guard Chuan must have discovered his problem from other aspects, which led to his murder. There may be some clues in the store."

"You can find it by just looking in any store."

Yan Fang had heard Xuan talk about Chuan before, and knew that this deceased man, with whom he had never communicated, was also a smart man and would most likely leave clues before his death.

"I forgot the cause of Captain Chuan's death. Hey, can we use witchcraft to summon Captain Chuan's soul?"

Xuan was suddenly enlightened when Yan Fang reminded him. He had been thinking about the murderer but had not thought about why Chuan was killed. Then he thought of another thing.

Most of the witch clan have now retreated into the underworld and established the six paths of reincarnation. The human race and the witch clan had an old relationship in the past, and the current witchcraft was learned from the witch clan, so it should not be difficult to summon souls.

If we summon Captain Chuan's spirit to interrogate him, all the mysteries can be solved and there will be no need for other means.

However, Jiang Rong shook her head and said, "There is no way to call back the soul. My master has tried. The news was not supposed to be spread until this afternoon."

The Huoyu Clan is the most knowledgeable about witchcraft in the tribe, and they are usually the ones to be looked for in matters of summoning or calling back spirits.

Last night, several great witches in the tribe tried to summon the spirit but failed. Jiang Rong's master was also present.

"Why? Could it be that Captain Chuan has lost his soul?"

When Xuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered how good Captain Chuan had been to him when he was alive, and he couldn't control his aura.

"That's not the case. After several failures, we spent a lot of money to ask the tribesmen in the Netherworld. They said that when Captain Chuan died, he was directly sent into reincarnation."

Once upon a time, the witch clan conquered the world and were enemies with all other clans. The only clan with which they had a slightly better relationship was the human clan. At the same time, there were many half-witch hybrids among the human clan.

Therefore, some people who cannot go to the Fire Cloud Cave, do not want to reincarnate, and pursue immortality can stay in the Netherworld and serve.

However, these days, working in the underworld doesn’t mean you have to worry about your lifespan, but it’s not a good job either.

Putting aside the immortals and demons in the ancient continent and the nine stars who arrogantly avoid reincarnation and may commit violence and break the law for themselves or their loved ones, those who are in power have to devote themselves to the development and construction process of the underworld.

Back then, when the Netherworld leaked a small crack on the Black Wind Mountain, the human tribe suffered a great disaster and was saved only by the union of several large tribes.

While working in the Netherworld, you have to fight against the Netherworld Demons and evil spirits in the Netherworld, and occasionally you have to face the remains of some Chaos Demons.

That group of Netherworld demons are not like the innate gods of the ancient times. They all have chaotic characteristics and most of them are unknowable and invisible. The powerful ones among them can even make Golden Immortals go crazy when they sense them. It is really unbearable for ordinary creatures.

Only humans, who have a shorter lifespan, would go to the underworld to try for immortality; other tribes do not have this slot.

"I heard that he was able to go through reincarnation quickly because of his good deeds. In his next life, he will be a human again and be born into a wealthy family."

As Jiang Rong spoke, a strange look appeared on her face.

No one with a brain would believe this reason, but their people could only get this kind of information.

"There is no trial process in the underworld?"

Yan Fang was not surprised that the summoning of the spirit failed. Not to mention that the corpse had been handled by the three leaders, it had also been kept in the hands of the murderer for a period of time. The necessary means should have been used long ago, and the purpose of taking it out in the end was just to attract attention.

Even if we get the body, it would probably be difficult to find obvious clues.

What Yan Fang found strange was that he did not destroy Chuan's soul, but let him reincarnate smoothly. Was he too kind? Is this killer not so cold?

If Yan Fang had not observed Xuan's expression, he would have really suspected Yu Ling again, because Xuan and Chuan had a very good relationship. If Yu Ling was the murderer, she might really give Chuan a death meal.

"Hmm? Brother Yan also knows about Netherworld's future plans? I only heard Master mention it a few times, but that's just a plan. Netherworld has just been established and doesn't have enough manpower."

"Generally, the dead are only roughly divided. It's impossible to be so detailed."

Jiang Rong was slightly surprised when she heard Yan Fang's words. She didn't expect that Yan Fang actually knew the future plans of the underworld, but she didn't think much about it.

Nowadays, the underworld is extremely short of staff, so the reincarnation procedures only need to be completed. They generally don't care how much time is delayed, who is involved, or where the deceased goes.

The Netherworld is different from the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court. The Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was able to be established quickly due to chance.

The thirty-three heavens of heaven are part of the earliest batch of top-notch innate demon gods that were born in the primitive period. They were conceived by the gods conceived outside the sky and fell into the primitive period, and were influenced by the outside gods.

After the death of Heitian, this part transformed into the prototype of the Thirty-three Heavens. Previously, the Thirty-three Heavens were inhabited by only a few weak innate races such as smoke and clouds.

The demon clan has star gods like Dijun, Taiyi and Xihe, as well as Fuxi and Nuwa, who indirectly caused the fall of Black Sky and the creation of the Thirty-Three Heavens, and have a great affinity with him.

Therefore, the demon clan's heaven only needs to gradually expand and strengthen the thirty-three heavens, which is completely different from the resistance that the underworld has to face when it wants to develop.

If the plan had not failed and caused disaster to the ancient world, the Witch Clan would not have devoted all their efforts to developing the Netherworld.

Therefore, although both wizards and liches were frustrated in the ancient times and caused countless karmic grievances, the wizard clan developed the underworld and presided over reincarnation, and the demon clan also integrated, organized and developed the world's demon spirit heritage, leaving countless heritages among the stars for future generations of creatures, a glimmer of hope and opportunity.

"I just happened to hear someone talking about it, I didn't expect it was just a plan."

Yan Fang felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, he had developed the habit of not casually revealing various words and names from later times since he traveled through time. Otherwise, if he casually mentioned the Ten Kings of Hell, King Qin Guang, etc., he would probably get into big trouble.

"Since it's reincarnation, that's good."

Xuan didn't care about the judgment in the underworld. After knowing that Chuan had reincarnated, he felt much more at ease. He continued:

“Now that I have set my sights on brass, please ask cousin Jiang Rong to help me!”

Huang Tong killed Captain Chuan and stayed near Yuling. He would not be at peace until he was eliminated.

Xuan knew that Qing was not as reliable as his sister in the Fire Feather Clan, so he directly asked Jiang Rong for help.

Although they had only just gotten acquainted, he knew that Jiang Rong would help him.

"That's no problem. I can ask someone to buy some medicine for testing this afternoon."

Jiang Rong didn't think it was troublesome. Their family had been on the same side as a whole since Qing chose Xuan.

Moreover, Jiang Rong knew that the people of the Black Horn tribe had already gained Chi's trust, and the people in their clan who were on Chi's side had also "accidentally" died in the previous hunting trip. If they did not stand on Xuan's side, their clan would probably be persecuted by the Black Horn clan in the future.

And behind this incident, there are three leaders. If...
