"Hold on for now!" Listening to this, I felt that something was wrong, "Father-in-law, according to what you say, these stranded ghosts devouring each other will inevitably make the Yin Qi accumulated in their bodies more and more vigorous. If the yin qi accumulates to a certain extent, will it cause any trouble? In my impression, in this ghost story, there seems to be something happening that kills people. I think, since you immortals can influence the world through some special immortal methods, then a few particularly powerful evil ghosts should also be able to use some special methods to bring harm to the world, right? ”

"That's what I'm trying to make clear to you." The father-in-law of the land still said unhurriedly, "This soul stranded in the world, it is difficult to deal with it here." It is precisely because of the 'obsession' and 'greed' in the heart that almost all the souls of the dead will try to save themselves, and the best way to save themselves is to devour other souls. Among them, the 'greedy people' are the most selfish, so they almost do not hesitate to choose the method of 'devouring others' to strengthen themselves. Among the many dead souls, the new members, that is, those who have just lost their breath, have become one of the easiest targets to be devoured due to their ignorance of the unknown situation. ”

"Oh, no wonder there are so many ghosts attacking me in the hospital and on the way home!" Suddenly, I seemed to have a clear sense of light. However, I soon realized that something was wrong, "Phew! You're out of breath! I'm not dead, how can those souls devour me? Haha, as a result, aren't many of those greedy demons being counterattacked by the yang energy in my body? Deserve! Those guys deserve it! ”

The father-in-law of the land paused, and then continued: "It's just that, as everyone knows, from the first bite they swallowed, they were doomed to the tragic end of never being able to transcend their lives. As a result, this thing is like taking a drug, once it is contaminated, you will be unable to stop, after all, the feeling of devouring and growing is too good. Second, this devouring of other souls is only a temporary increase in one's own yin qi, but in fact, in the long run, such a growth is not good. Because, of course, the yin energy of different dead souls is different, and if they inhale the yin energy of others, they will make their own yin qi become mixed and impure, so that their own yin qi will be eroded by yang qi faster. The more you swallow it, the more mixed it will be, and the faster it will be eroded. The faster it is eroded, the more it will be devoured in order to survive...... If this continues, it will inevitably fall into a vicious circle. ”

"Father-in-law, according to your words, isn't this 'not devouring' a good thing?" I asked, confused.

"It can only be said that in the overall and long-term view, 'not devouring' is indeed a good thing. However, in the short term, this method of 'devouring' can quickly increase its strength......"

"Oh, I see! The leaders of the demons I have met are in fact the most devouring of the ghosts! However, in this way, because of their great strength, they must have also satisfied their thirst for 'power'? Although the speed of erosion by yang energy has become faster, these leaders have many revenant subordinates, and when they lack yin energy, they will 'devour' one or two. In this way, won't they be able to live happily ever after? After listening to the explanation of the father-in-law of the land, I became even more confused, so I couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Is that really the case?"

After hearing this, I cast a puzzled but extremely firm look at my father-in-law.

When the father-in-law of the land saw it, he had to explain: "Didn't you just worry that there would be evil ghosts who would cause trouble to the world? In fact, these evil spirits can 'devour' and grow to a certain extent, which is enough to threaten the safety of human life. In this case, it is naturally impossible to escape the 'magic eye' of patrolling ghosts. Therefore, once the ghost discovers that there is an evil ghost that has grown strong enough to threaten the human world, he will kill it in time, and it is a kind of complete strangulation of the form and spirit! ”

"That's not right!" Hearing this, I exclaimed, "Father-in-law, didn't you just say that when you were patrolling the 'Black and White Impermanence', you made a special trip to find a group of stranded souls who could go to the underworld?" How did it become 'Killing Powerful Demons' again? Could it be that 'black and white impermanence' wears multiple hats when patrolling? But in this way, can they still be busy? ”

"Hehe, that's why you misunderstood. Actually, 'black and white' is not just one as you might think. 'Black and white impermanence', as a kind of special function, actually has an incomparably large number. Think about it, how many people in the whole world must have died at the same time? If 'black impermanence' and 'white impermanence' are just one word each, then can they take care of it? So the first thing you need to correct is that there is not only one 'black and white impermanence'. The second thing that needs to be corrected is that this ghost is not just 'black and white'. The so-called 'division is different', and different ghosts have different responsibilities. Therefore, this 'culling of powerful demons' is not an errand that 'black and white impermanence' should be responsible for. Of course, in the process of patrolling, if a particularly powerful 'evil ghost' is found, then the 'black and white impermanence' can notify the ghost who is dedicated to 'culling'. ”

"Since it's not 'black and white impermanence' to take care of, then what kind of 'ghost' is dedicated to culling?" The explanation of the father-in-law of the land undoubtedly succeeded in arousing the great interest in my heart, so I asked very eagerly.

"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be revealed. Since you humans don't know the name of this kind of 'ghost cha', it is not convenient for me to explain it. Still, I can remind you of one or two things. For example, the 'Zhong Kui' known to you humans is one of the ghosts who specialize in 'culling evil ghosts'. ”

Although I was very disgusted by the mystery of the immortals, I had no choice but to suffer in silence. "'Zhong Kui'? Isn't that the 'Heavenly Master'? How did you become a ghost again? Immediately, I muttered in my heart, "According to the father-in-law of the land, ghosts like 'black and white impermanence' are equivalent to their identities. Since it is said that it is 'equal', then it also means that the underworld and the fairy world are two different systems or factions. According to common sense, the 'Heavenly Master' should be a position in the fairy world, and it shouldn't be counted as a 'ghost difference'! Could it be that 'Zhong Kui' has a dual identity? Both heavenly and underworld? That's not really likely. Alas, it seems that there are many inaccuracies in this folk legend! ”
