Chapter 242: Western Ghost Emperor
But I was relieved after thinking about it.
The underworld may be too big, both boundless and limited in longevity, in essence, it is not much different from the human world, and it is not surprising that there are several big forces.
General Yue led us into the street through the city gate, and walked straight for more than an hour, and the spirits and ghosts we encountered gradually increased.
This is a relatively busy street.
The palaces on the left and right sides are lined up, like what "Food and Incense Palace", "Weapons Palace", "Jianbao Pavilion", "Yangyuan Fang"......
We were dazzled, just like in ancient China.
The fat man pointed to a "treasure pavilion" and asked:
"Lao Yue, what kind of shop is this selling?
Yue Fei smiled with a smile:
"Of course, like the human world, there are all kinds of magic weapons and magic weapons here, but the yang qi and Taoist true qi used in the human world are refined, and here it is the yin qi and ghost yuan used, which is about the same!"
And Heavenly Master Zhang pointed to the "Yangyuan Fang" and asked:
"So what is this selling? Yangyuan...... Is it healing?"
Yue Fei explained:
This is the literal meaning. In fact, this should be a store specializing in pills and pills. Although the entire ghost realm has scarce materials, there are also heavenly and earthly treasures such as Lechuan River Water, Youquan Holy Water, Ice Flame Stone, Heavenly Demon Grass, Heavenly Demon Stone, etc., which are precious materials for refining magic weapons and ghost weapons!"
I was a little fascinated by what I heard, isn't this similar to the worldview of those cultivators and immortals in ancient times?
If there really is the Kunlun God Realm, will it be the same as the underworld, with various factions and countless magic weapons and Taoist weapons?
Suddenly, a shout attracted us:
“...... Ouch, it's Wu Dashao! Please, please come in, our shopkeeper has been looking forward to you coming, please come in first, the auction will start immediately!"
"Huang Gongzi! Fortunately, I heard that the master of your sect recently got a 'Yin Soul Flower'?
......
We followed the prestige and saw a guy dressed as a shopkeeper, standing at the door of a huge palace, greeting guests with a smile.
Dressed in a gray robe, its gloomy white face was full of flattering smirks, and it bowed to every guest who wanted to enter, and casually pointed out the name and identity of the other party.
We looked up at the top of the huge palace, and saw a plaque in the middle of the hall beam, with six square characters on it: "Treasure Pavilion of Lingzuka Mountain".
I pointed to the palace and asked General Yue, Yue Fei's eyes lit up and said:
"This treasure pavilion is the property of Zhao Wen and Zhenjun, the ghost emperor of the West here, specializing in treasure auctions, appreciation, recycling, etc. Because of Zhao Zhenjun's identity, the business of this Treasure Pavilion has always been very good, and it is said that the soul power and yin qi it has gathered is already the head of the five ghost emperors!"
We listened to it a lot.
I can't imagine that even the Ghost Emperor has intervened in the flow of materials, so wouldn't the powerless soul-wandering souls at the bottom have no way out?
I asked General Yue this question, but he smiled and said:
"No! After ordinary souls enter the ghost realm, except for the eighteenth place of prison punishment, as long as they are not idiots, they are actually living quite well!"
Seeing that we were all confused, General Yue immediately explained in detail.
Because the underworld has not been able to unify its territory, since the incarnation of the ancient Yan Emperor took charge of the Netherworld, he has widely absorbed the souls of the human world to act as ghost soldiers.
After becoming an ordinary ghost soldier, the underworld will pay the same salary as the human world, and the life-sustaining soul power, that is, Shouyuan, will be paid annually.
In addition, if these ordinary ghost soldiers have a good posture, they can cultivate properly.
As long as the Yin Qi Ghost Yuan in the body reaches a certain level, it can be assessed again by the Five Directions Ghost Emperor or the "Netherworld Forbidden Army" to determine whether it can be promoted to a ghost general!
Of course, the vast majority of ghost soldiers do not have this creation.
But they are not bad, Yue Fei told us that the ghost soldier can receive five buckets of soul power for one year, and one bucket of soul power can extend the yin lifespan for one year......
The fat man was shocked when he heard this:
"One year can extend one's life span by five years? Wouldn't the ghost soldiers of the underworld never die?"
Yue Fei shook his head and smiled:
"How could it be! Since the existence of the underworld, the Yin Shou has been extended from a hundred to the current two hundred, and it has reached the limit of what the Yin Soul can survive! If you can't advance to the Ghost General or cultivate the Pure Ghost Yuan, you will die as soon as the two hundred life expectancy is reached!"
What is the limit of the survival of the Yin Spirit?
I listened and thought to myself:
Wouldn't it be that you have to be a ghost soldier for more than 20 years to save a lifespan of 200 years?
The life expectancy of human beings has been relatively average in modern times, and the lowest countries have reached more than 60. All human beings are at least fair in terms of longevity.
But the rules of the ghost world are somewhat hierarchical, and some are like the ancient times when strength was respected.
After all, there are only a few people who can cultivate the ghost yuan or promote the ghost general, and the average ghost soldier does not have the huge financial resources to buy heavenly and earthly treasures for cultivation, so won't they always be at the bottom?
Thinking about it, I asked again:
"Then, when these ordinary ghost soldiers or souls are approaching their lifespan, can they also choose to be reincarnated?"
Yue Fei sighed, shook his head and said:
"Yes, yes, but most of them will be reduced to other creatures in the human world, such as domestic animals, animals, insects, birds, fish, etc. There is no one in ten thousand who can successfully return the human fetus!"
We were stunned!
The vast majority of them can only be reincarnated as animal fetuses, which ...... This is really unacceptable!
No matter how good an animal fetus is, it can't compare to being a human.
Even if you cast a national treasure panda fetus and eat and drink Lazar all day long, but you don't have a clear intellect, and you are ignorant until you die, so what kind of energy do you have!
The fat man apparently thought of this too, and his face became ugly.
The little monk saw that the fat man's mood was suddenly not high, so he persuaded:
"Don't be sad fat brother! The way of the six animals is not far away, as long as you often do good deeds, you can reincarnate in the human womb after the ninth life, and enjoy the prosperity of the world again!"
The fat man smiled bitterly:
"That's still a fart! By that time, Lao Tzu had drunk Meng Po soup a few times, and he didn't even realize it, and he couldn't remember my sweet daughter-in-law, and he had a hairy ......."
I interjected with a smile:
"This is the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, any living creature has this calamity, what's the use of you being sad? Only in this way will human beings understand the preciousness of time and life, and try to live a wonderful life!"
Everyone was quite emotional when they heard it, and they didn't speak again for a while.
I saw that the guy over there was still warmly entertaining the guests, so I asked Yue Fei:
"Can we go in and have a look?"
Yue Fei nodded, and led us straight towards the gate of the palace.
As soon as we approached, the fellow bowed to us and said flatteringly:
"Ah, it turned out to be General Yue......! Please go up to the second floor to sit in a private seat! General Yue is a rare guest, you must have fun today!"
I wondered in my heart, and as soon as I entered the temple gate, I asked him softly:
"Why does this man seem to know everyone else?, and why do they not know that you occupy the southern gate and rebel against the underworld, so why do they have the audacity to entertain you?"
Yue Fei looked around, then led us up to the second floor, and replied as he walked:
"Of course they know, I guess even the Ghost Emperor Zhao Zhenjun and Wang Zhenren know......!
Now the ghost emperors of the five directions are all dissatisfied with the Yin and the Immortal Emperor, and many things are contrary to the Yin, even if they know it, they don't want to be embarrassed!"
The fat man and the little monk were dumbfounded when they heard this, and bluntly said that they couldn't imagine that the underworld was so casual, and they didn't even care about the traitors and rebels playing under their noses.
But I guessed some of the careful thoughts of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor from here:
The position of the Son of Heaven is ordered by the Heavenly Dao, and since ancient times, I have never heard of it being able to be elected or contested.
But now a heavenly evil suddenly popped up, and directly killed the Yin and Netherworld Heavenly Son to succeed the new Emperor Xudu (I believe that the Five Directions Ghost Emperor absolutely knows about this), and the Heavenly Dao still doesn't care about it......
This can't help but make people angry!
You don't let us choose by ourselves, but now there is a guy who actually breaks the rules, and you don't even dare to let out a fart, so why do you still abide by this rule?
It is very likely that the ghost emperor of the five directions will be in this "jealous" mentality, and will passively treat the new rules or tasks of the new Yin Tianzi, and choose to "listen to the propaganda and not listen to the tune".
Anyway, they have been operating in these areas for a long time, and no one can threaten them anytime soon.
......
Go up to the second floor, here around the palace wall on all sides to build a circle of platforms, the middle of the platform is connected with the first floor, in the middle of a huge protruding stand, some like the rostrum.
At this time, many wooden tables were densely placed on the platform, and most of them were full of souls.
Some of them were dressed in black robes, and their faces were empty except for a pair of faint green eyes;
Some are dressed in gray robes or green cedars, chatting leisurely with people, with the atmosphere of a market shop.
We had chosen a wooden table near the center stand, and as soon as we sat down, we saw a ghost walking towards us with a grin, and a plate in his hand.
Is it another incense?
I wondered.
The fat man spoke to me:
"Brother, this General Yue doesn't know if he has rich money, uh, it's soul power! Do we need to see the opportunity to run away later?"
I listened so amusementingly that in order to reassure him, I lied:
"No, General Yue told me just now, everything is up to him!
The fat man immediately laughed and quietly muttered to the little monk.
The ghost walked quickly to our table and put the tray in his hand on the table - it was a teacup!
It quickly placed the teacups in front of us, and then lifted a copper kettle out of thin air from the middle of the tray and poured water into the teacups!
I was dumbfounded, didn't I say that the materials of the underworld and the human world could not be communicated?
Yue Fei waited for the ghost to finish pouring the tea, and explained to us:
"This is a means only available to the Western Ghost Emperor, his status is only one level lower than that of the Emperor Xudu, of course he has a way to get his hands on the things in the human world!"
As he spoke, he whispered again:
"I heard that the five ghost emperors all maintain some kind of contact with the human world, and use trading methods to maintain the operation under their rule!"
