Chapter 417: Spiritual Matters
The material plane has subordinate planes such as the shadow plane and the spirit world, and they are subtly and closely related to the material world.
The shadow plane and the spirit realm are directly overlapped on the material plane, like two pieces of paper stacked together, except that one is on top and one is below, and there is a certain difference between the two.
For example, according to the relevant laws of the derivative plane and the particularity of the spirit world, the area of the spirit world will not be less than half of the size of the material plane.
There is no upper cap, but under normal circumstances, most of the spiritual realm will not be more than three times the area of the material realm.
For example, the shadow plane belongs to the semi-material plane, and there are many half-energy forms of life in it, so it is closely connected to the material plane.
The spirit realm belongs to the energy plane, and there are almost no flesh and blood lives in it, and many of them are spirit-based existences, that is, complete energy body life.
The dusk sun shines on this world, and the light is a little bright, but it does not make people feel the slightest heat belonging to the hot sun, but makes people feel a sense of drowsiness.
This is the spirit realm, the place where lost souls and twisted existences survive.
There is a thin layer of snow piled up on the wilderness-like ground, but if one twists it up a little, it will find that it does not give people a cold feeling, as if it is just something else with the appearance of snow.
And farther away, there are native beings who belong to the spirit realm.
It takes on the form of a human, constantly walking and wandering through the wilderness until one day it reintegrates into the land.
This is a spirit being, a being that belongs to the category of "ghosts".
Just as there are a large number of flesh-and-blood creatures in the physical plane, there will also be corresponding spirit creatures in the spirit realm.
But there is more to the spirit world than just these native beings.
Just as there will be meteorites falling from the astral realm in the physical realm, there will inevitably be a mess of things entering from the outside world in the spiritual realm.
Some of them are hoodoos that have escaped the seal, while others are twisted beings born out of mistakes.
Most of the time they will leave quickly due to plane rejection, but there are also a number of people who have the ability to do so, or for some purpose, and thus remain in various ways.
It's like being in a city many miles away from this wilderness.
It's filled with huge and spectacular marble buildings, but it's also mixed in with things that seem out of place in their surroundings.
There are dilapidated shacks, old towers, mottled old houses, and the occasional marble pavement and overgrown meadow.
I don't know which city on the physical plane corresponds to here, but due to the nature of the spirit world, many times, things that are signs can be confused or out of place.
Now, though, it's got some uninvited guests.
Figures dressed in black robes with a thick gray mist appeared here, silently walking through the streets of the city, as if measuring something, and at the same time constantly burying something in a certain place.
I don't know how long it was, but even when the dusk of the sun had dissipated, and when night covered everything, they regrouped in the central square of the city, and there were hundreds of shadows.
After a figure resembling a leader held up a special insignia, the surrounding people began to kneel in a circle.
It is a black emblem with a circle on the top, and a long, slender, thin black pupil in the center of the circle, surrounded by tentacle-like markings.
Then they prayed in unison: "Praise be to you, Great Black Moon!"
"You are the Lord of our lives and souls, and we are willing to give everything to you......"
The tone of this prayer is extremely eerie, it sounds like the strange chirping of a night owl, and you don't even know how it was made.
The sound of prayer gradually spread, but it was very strange and lingered over the city, and it did not go for a long time.
The black emblem held aloft lit up slightly, and a strange ripple spread.
As the prayer continued, it seemed that something suddenly became different.
One by one, the things buried in a special place are activated by some external force, as if the entire space is cut off and isolated from the inside and outside.
And if someone looks up, it's easy to see where the difference comes from.
The moon in the sky!
The moon, which emitted a faint light, was gradually dyed with a hint of blackness, and when looking at it, people only felt an inexplicable palpitation.
No doubt!
What is happening now is inevitably related to this moon.
Under the moonlight, the light emitted from the emblem became more and more eerie.
Soon, wisps of gray mist began to rise from the ground for no apparent reason.
The moment the gray mist rose, cracks appeared in the air that were invisible to the naked eye, and in the whispering murmurs that made people feel palpitations, gray ghost spirits came out of it.
They screamed, screamed, howled, but involuntarily threw themselves into the gray mist, as if there was something inside that attracted them.
After engulfing the spirits, the gray mist spread as if it had been well nourished, and soon overwhelmed the entire city.
Even the large group of figures kneeling in the central square was no exception, so that the voice with a little fanaticism gradually subsided:
"The Supreme Black Moon. ”
"Let your word walk on the earth as it does in heaven!"
"May ......"
The moon in the sky gradually climbs higher and rises right in the night sky.
Patches of black appear like spots, vaguely forming a sharp and slender vertical pupil.
Vaguely, I don't know if it's an illusion, this vertical pupil seems to glance down, and then blink slightly.
Tick Tick –
Drops of rain fall from the sky.
A trickling black rain fell from the sky.
As far as the eye can see, there seems to be a drizzle.
Weather changes are rare in the spirit world, and it is rare to see such a thing as rain a few times a year.
The black rain that fell at this time didn't have a strange smell, but it could make everyone who saw it feel uneasy.
Not to mention, although the whole city was covered with black rain, there was not even a single stagnant water on the ground, not to mention the formation of puddles and streams, and those black rains disappeared after falling on the ground, as if they had penetrated deep into the earth in an instant.
With the fall of this misty black rain, the city shrouded in gray fog seems to have undergone some strange changes.
Grunt grunt –
A gray fog that covered the entire city swelled, as if something was being born in it......
