Journey to the West: Reform of the Underworld and the Start of Developing the Internet

The old mother's devout belief in the underworld is unshakable.

Moreover, doing business with the underworld is a lucrative and prestigious thing in itself!

Naturally, she dared not neglect it.

"Damn! The caller is not the City God!"

"But do you still remember Wang Youcai, the rich man in the village?"

"Wang Youcai? The one who sold his land and went abroad to try his luck?"

The old lady is old and her memory seems to have declined.

Although she still has some impression of the former rich man Wang in the village, she really doesn't have a deep impression of him.

"Yes, that's right!!"

"Our family got our first pot of gold from him. He is a great benefactor to our family."

"Maybe now that he has made a fortune in another country, he is ready to help me."

Wang Xiaowu said so, and did not talk to my mother any more. He pushed open the door and strode out!

As a life mentor who started his fortune, Wang Xiaowu was still grateful to Wang Youcai.

However, after half an incense stick, Wang Xiaowu came back with a complicated expression.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking like that?"The old mother asked curiously

"Wang Youcai went to the underworld ahead of time!"

Wang Xiaowu said with a complicated expression:

"It is said that he committed suicide in advance to go to the underworld in response to the call of His Majesty Fengdu. He is really well-aware!!"

Seeing her son so innocent, the old mother raised her eyebrows and said angrily:"Where did these rumors come from? Such shameless words have also been learned by ghosts?"

"Wang Youcai was in a business that was risky. He was probably robbed by bandits on the way and ended up losing both his money and his life."

"Now he really knows how to flatter himself!!"

Wang Xiaowu scratched his head awkwardly and smiled foolishly!

"Is that so? Now, the underworld list is all over the world, and there are still bad people doing evil?"

"Humph!! Go online more and learn about the real news of the Three Realms! Didn’t the Internet say that Beijuluzhou is not peaceful and Xiniuhezhou has many monsters?"

The old mother looked at her silly son with a show-off look on her face, and couldn't help scolding him,"Don't listen to those rumors on the streets. They say that the death in vain was inspired by His Majesty Fengdu. You really don't feel embarrassed at all."

Wang Xiaowu listened obediently, returned to his seat, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating without any rebuttal.

In fact, what the old mother said was true!

Nowadays, in the whole Chang'an, and even in the whole Tang Dynasty, when there is a family that dies in an accident, most of them will publicize that they have been inspired by His Majesty Fengdu!

Everyone speaks with details!

When outsiders heard it, there were really many people who believed it.

Wang Xiaowu was one of them!

And this gradually became popular, and it was almost transformed into a customary idiom. To find the origin, we have to blame the last words left by Old Man Liu before he went to the underworld!

Old Man Liu, maybe a year ago in the whole Chang'an, not many people knew this old man.

But it happened to catch up with the reform of the City God Temple!

The City God of the underworld was not convenient to show up, and Old Man Liu, as a temple keeper, was asked for something by people, so naturally, his reputation became higher and higher. The sudden death of Old Man Liu also caused a lot of waves in the whole Chang'an at that time.

There was a saying in the streets that"the sufferings of the world, the peace of the underworld!

Many people even believed that Old Man Liu had completed his merits and was enjoying a peaceful life in the underworld. As the ghosts of the underworld occasionally called the living world, the news that Old Man Liu became a high official in the underworld was also known to people.

As a result, people became more convinced of the rumors circulating in the streets.

"What is Wang Youcai calling for?" the old mother asked curiously

"He isn't here to ask for incense, is he?"

"Of course not! Wang Youcai is planning to try to buy a batch of big black pigs from our family."

Wang Xiaowu waved his hands and answered quickly.

The old mother frowned slightly, but she didn't believe it!

"Don't frame me! Although Wang Youcai has come to his senses for a while, he is not a man of great fortune and merit."

"It's good enough for him to be a normal ghost in the underworld, can he order the ghost messenger to help transport the goods?"

Although the old mother's memory has regressed, she is not stupid.

On the contrary, the more she sees, the more experienced she is!

She saw the logical error in the matter at a glance!

Wang Xiaowu picked up a pig's trotter and put it in the bowl, tasted it with white rice, and then continued:"It is said that the underworld is preparing to open a post station function for the City God Mall. In the future, if we want to offer sacrifices to our relatives or ghosts in the underworld, we can go directly to the City God Mall, or we can call the courier to pick up the goods."

"Are you serious?"

The old lady's eyes widened with disbelief.

My goodness!

Is it true that the underworld and the living world are going to start a large-scale circulation of goods?

"Of course it is true!" Wang Xiaowu replied

"In the past, we would burn paper figures and paper money for our ancestors at their graves, but in reality, they were simply collected by wandering ghosts on the roadside."

"Lighting incense and asking the gods to bring some goods down is too much work for the ghost messenger."

"From now on, there will be dedicated staff to take charge of this matter. We only need to pay a certain amount of incense as shipping fee, and the things we burn will be delivered to our ancestors. How convenient!"

"That's a good thing."

The old mother looked relieved,"The gods in the underworld are really helpful, and they really care about us, the people!"

"Apart from helping to guide the dead souls, they also started to solve the logistics and transportation problems between the living world and the underworld."

"On the contrary, the Western Buddhist sect has been shouting loudly on the Internet recently, but has not thought about doing anything practical.……"

The old mother is nagging!

Wang Xiaowu and his wife smiled at each other, but they were already accustomed to it.

Originally, the gods of all parties were sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Everyone prayed to the east and the west, praying for peace of mind.

However, with the sudden rise of the underworld, it began to roll up.

In comparison, the cost-effectiveness of believing in the ghosts and gods of the underworld immediately stood out.

In fact, the logistics and transportation between the underworld and the world of the living also existed in the past.

However, it did not form a system or scale in the past, and it was one-way!

Most of the creatures in the world of the living burned incense and worshiped, and then burned some sacrificial items. The ghost messengers who came with the smell of incense were also happy to do some part-time work as postmen.

Although the amount is not large!

But it is also one of the few income-generating projects of the underworld before!

With the reform of the underworld, the original set of small stalls is naturally not applicable, and the profit share has become better than nothing.

If you want to expand the market, the normal work of the ghost messenger must be separated from the transportation of goods.

The entire e-commerce plan is not only about connecting the four states, but also about opening up the logistics channel between the world of the living and the underworld step by step, which is the most critical link.

Since ordinary wandering souls have entered the gates of hell, there is no way back!

In addition to the logistics team of the Styx, other logistics companies that want to do business between the world of the living and the underworld must obtain the temporary status of ghost messengers in the underworld.

This has invisibly boosted the honor of working in the underworld.
