On the online forum, a netizen once asked a question: After a person dies, his soul will go to the underworld. Is there any situation where the soul does not go to the underworld or cannot go to the underworld?

There are naturally answers.

People who commit suicide, such as those who jump off a building and commit suicide, cannot go to the underworld after death. If they have a lifespan, they will have to repeat the number of years they will jump off a building there until their lifespan ends. They will not be punished in the underworld.

This comes from the underworld's punishment for those who jumped off the building and committed suicide, which made him continue to repeat the pain of jumping off the building.

There is another situation where ghosts cannot go to the underworld after death, that is, drowning people.

Water is a very special existence. It can store wind and gather energy, and can also limit the soul.

Generally, drowning people will be trapped at the bottom of the water, even if the body is salvaged. Unless a gentleman is invited to do a ritual and burn enough money for the ghost officer in the underworld, the ghost officer will take action to the bottom of the water to bring the soul of the deceased back to the underworld.

But if the corpse is not salvaged under the water, it is useless to do rituals. Ghosts will be trapped in the corpse at the bottom of the water. Unless the corpse is completely decayed and swallowed by the underwater creatures, they will not be able to escape.

He Jie belongs to the latter situation. Logically speaking, his soul cannot leave the river bottom. So when he saw He Jie's soul appear in his shop, Su Chen had a guess in his heart, that is, someone released He Jie's soul, or in other words, he temporarily helped He Jie's soul escape.

There are quite a few people who can do this, but with He Jie's identity, those who have the ability will not help. Even if there are really experts passing by, they can catch He Jie's body.

Since he had not done so, Su Chen judged that it was not a master who helped He Jie, but an existence from the bottom of the river.

There are mountain gods and rivers also have gods, that is the river god.

But different rivers are different. In fact, the so-called river god is the same as the Baojia Immortal in the north. The Baojia Immortal in the north is cultivated by some monsters, while the river god is a creature in the river that has become a spirit.

It may be some kind of fish, maybe a turtle, maybe a lobster, or even a clump of aquatic plants at the bottom of the water...

There are countless rivers in China, but except for the two river gods, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, which are extraordinary, the river gods of other rivers are no different from monsters.

As for the river patrolists of each river, they actually contacted the river gods in the local rivers. The two sides reached some agreement. The river god passed on part of their ability to control the river to the river patrolists, and the river patrolists completed the tasks assigned by the river god.

In Su Chen's guess, there are only two possibilities for the River God here to release He Jie's soul away. One is to be moved by He Jie's actions and specifically help He Jie, and the other is to use He Jie to contact him and make a deal with him.

But now it seems that the first type may not exist anymore. The river god here does not want him to easily find He Jie's body.

However, Su Chen thought it was understandable. Whether it was the monsters on land or the monsters in water, it would take a long time to practice. A hundred years were short. After such a long time, I had never seen anything, and I guess I would have been as hard as iron.

In Zhang Ming's opinion, it would be a good thing to have a river patrolman like Huang Bo, and even he would want to be a river patrolman.
