Chapter 724: Chapter 321 Yuan Chen Palace, Little Yaksha_3

Chen Shi said: "I see. So how can I see how much spirit money I have?"

"Each Yuan Chen Palace has a Treasure Tree, from which hangs the spirit money burned by your relatives and friends for you. Only those with Incense Fire Qi can hang there; without it, they cannot be hung."

Hearing this, Chen Shi immediately walked towards the courtyard of the Yuan Chen Palace.

This Yuan Chen Palace resembled a temple, with a division between the front hall, rear hall, and left and right side halls. Chen Shi indeed found his Treasure Tree in the courtyard of the rear hall.

The Treasure Tree was golden and radiant, with numerous branches, hanging with sheets of golden paper money, and indeed, Incense Fire Qi swirled around the money. On some, the Incense Fire Qi was so rich that it formed gold ingots hanging on the tree!

"This is the Treasure Tree. You have quite a lot of money."

The boat lady exclaimed, "It seems dying early has its advantages. Over these ten years, Chen Tang must have burned a lot of spirit money for you. Some people, after they die, don’t have any relatives or friends to burn spirit money or offer incense."

Chen Shi asked: "What happens to the ghosts who don’t have money burned for them or incense offered?"

The boat lady looked up and pointed her lips towards the sky.

Chen Shi looked up and saw that the sky was crisscrossed with streets leading everywhere, and there were magnificent Yuan Chen Palaces everywhere.

Those Yuan Chen Palaces were resplendent, but many of them were dim and become ethereal.

Some Yuan Chen Palaces were even collapsing, slowly turning into nothingness.

The streets connecting those Yuan Chen Palaces also became transparent and gradually disappeared!

"Those Yuan Chen Palaces belong to ghosts forgotten by the world, who are without Incense Fire Qi, gradually perishing. Humans die to become ghosts, ghosts die to become Niu, Niu die to become Xi, Xi die to become Yi. Xi and Yi are emptiness."

The boat lady said, "The Yuan Chen Palace disintegrates and collapses in this process, eventually also dissolving. As the oil runs dry and the lamp dims, it plunges completely into darkness."

Chen Shi looked up and saw the Celestial City’s heavenly streets stretching endlessly, with countless Yuan Chen Palaces. Every moment, someone is forgotten, and their Yuan Chen Palace collapses and disintegrates into nothingness.

Many of these Yuan Chen Palaces have small Yakshas working, who, at such times, pack their bags with a stick and leave their employers dejectedly, walking along the heavenly streets in search of another employer.

Chen Shi saw a vast army of small Yakshas on the heavenly streets, going from house to house seeking job opportunities.

And those Yuan Chen Palaces that already have small Yakshas would block the entrance whenever they encountered these newcomers, not allowing other Yakshas to enter.

"So even in the underworld, there is no freedom." Chen Shi murmured.

He raised his hand to pluck a few sheets of spirit money and paid the tearful little Yaksha.

The little Yaksha was moved to tears, knelt down and kowtowed several times gratefully, and enthusiastically went to work.

"Why pay it wages? In a few years, when it works itself to death, wouldn’t that save money?" the boat lady complained.

Chen Shi laughed: "It works, I pay; isn’t that right and proper? How can one go against such principles? We are now great Yakshas, at least from the same clan. Miss, how should we find my mother’s Yuan Chen Palace?"

Just then, the small Yaksha hurriedly ran over, pulled Chen Shi and the boat lady, and drilled into a rear hall.

Black Pot ran over, and the small Yaksha shouted: "Come in quickly! Come in quickly! The sky is dark, and the monsters are coming out!"

Black Pot hurried into the main hall, and the small Yaksha laboriously closed the door, tensely laying down to peep through the crack.

Chen Shi also leaned over, pressing against the crack to look outside.

Outside, he saw the sky suddenly darken, with a Blood Moon hanging mid-air, an ominous wind blowing.

There was movement from the front hall and the two side halls. Chen Shi looked carefully and suddenly saw a huge eyeball emerging from the front hall, nearly as large as the hall itself, rolling and turning.

The eyeball squeezed out, forcing its way through the temple door, then another eyeball squeezed out, followed by a nose, a mouth, a forehead, and when the whole face squeezed out, Chen Shi saw it clearly.

It was his face.

However, the head was high and pointed in the middle, a bit sharp, not looking like a good person, with a slightly sinister aura.

Behind this head was a worm-like body, with multiple legs, fat and large, covered in armor-like bone plates.

The boat lady leaned over, her height allowing her to watch over Chen Shi’s head.

Black Pot also leaned over, taller, with eyes pressed to the crack, peering outside.

"Lord Top Scorer, it’s your Three Corpse God!"

The boat lady exclaimed, "The one opposite is the Lower Corpse God, named Peng Jue, who governs lust. Milord, your Peng Jue is fearsomely strong!"
