Chapter 6: The City of Death
"Bah, bold!" With a loud shout, another group of people wearing Mongolian military uniforms came. One of them, a man with a flat face and a beard that looked like a leader, waved his hand and shouted, "Kill these people!" ”
Hao Protector, these people are full of grief and anger and have nowhere to vent. Seeing these authentic Mongolian dogs, they actually shouted to kill them, and rushed forward without saying a word. Enemies are very red when they meet, and their opponents will meet good materials.
Magic weapon, oh, no magic weapon. The magic weapon that is used to it cannot be brought into the netherworld because of its low grade, but the posture that can cast the magic weapon is exactly the same as before death.
Spells, and no spells. There's no aura here, and they won't use yin qi yet. So, the two sides directly used fists and kicks, you came and I punched and kicked. Later, it was simply grasped with hands and bitten with teeth.
Zhang Qiusheng leisurely admired the qiē in front of him. He didn't know how many fights he had been through, and such crazy bites didn't interest him at all. These traitors die one less than one, even if they go to be beasts, I'm afraid they are not good beasts.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer ghosts fighting, and the ghosts who stay to continue fighting are getting stronger and stronger. In the meantime, new ghosts are constantly coming, but unfortunately the new ghosts are too weak, and they are eaten by the ghosts who have already become stronger.
Now there is no distinction between friend and foe, and who is caught and who eats. Everyone knows that only the strongest can stay. Only by staying can we have the opportunity to think about how to get out of this beast path.
After a while, there were only two ghosts left in the fighting arena. Which side these two ghosts belong to, Zhang Qiusheng couldn't tell. They have eaten too many ghosts, and their body shape has changed dramatically. He became tall and eight waists, thick and round, and his eyes were like copper bells and big mouths. The two ghosts looked at each other, they were evenly matched, and neither could help the other. One of the ghosts glanced at Zhang Qiusheng and then at his opponent. The two ghosts rushed towards Zhang Qiusheng at the same time. The meaning is obvious, they ate this man and a dog first. Then they divide the winners and losers.
In the eyes of the two ghosts, this man and a dog are short in stature, and they are no match for them at all. The two ghosts both ran towards Zhang Qiusheng, and abandoned chasing the wind. Zhang Qiusheng's head is bigger, and the Yin Qi supplement he can get after eating it is also more. Their final battle is mainly to see whose strength is stronger.
Zhang Qiusheng told Chasing the Wind to lie there and not move. He faced two traitors and ghosts. Ever since he arrived in this netherworld, Zhang Qiusheng has been in constant battle. He can't remember how many fights he fought, and now he can't even look at ordinary evil ghost Shura, and he is looking for king-level evil ghost Shura to fight. These two new ghosts are really not enough for him to stuff his teeth.
The two ghosts each grabbed one of Zhang Qiusheng's arms and broke them together, both of them wanted to break one arm and eat it first. How do they know how strong Zhang Qiusheng's body is now? How condensed is the Yin Spirit Qi in the whole body? Zhang Qiusheng devoured the evil ghost Shura countless times, and refined it in the Sea of Grievances countless times, and now the Yin Spirit Qi on Zhang Qiusheng's body is as solid as a rock. What can such a new ghost shake?
Although these two guys are rookies, they are from a real person after all, and they still have some knowledge. Knowing that something big is not good, I want to run away. But it was too late, Zhang Qiusheng grabbed the two ghosts with his backhand and pushed back hard. First bump the two ghosts into each other and step on the back of one of the ghosts. Then he broke off the thigh of the other ghost and threw it at Chasing Wind.
The honest chaser asked, "Can you eat this?" Zhang Qiusheng said: "Of course you can eat it." Didn't you see how happy they were eating each other just now? If you don't eat him, they will eat you. Hurry up, make up for it. ”
After eating the two ghosts, Chasing the Wind is like an elephant. Zhang Qiusheng took it to the vicinity of the Sea of Grievances.
He didn't know how a dog should refine his grievances. After thinking about it, he said to Chasing Wind: "You just lie here." If you can withstand the pain, move forward a little. If you can't stand it, just take it a little back. Let the wind blow the resentment out of you. ”
Zhang Qiusheng himself walked forward. He was now almost close to the edge of the sea. The Sea of Grievances is fiery red, the only color of the Netherworld. The Sea of Grievances is hot, and this is the only place in the Netherworld that has temperature. The other place is the fire sea oil pot in the eighteenth layer of hell, which is specially set up to punish those who have done evil in life.
The sea of resentment has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and it is the eternal way of heaven. The fire sea oil pot is specially set up by a person with great magical powers, and the two are very different.
The people who have cultivated in the Sea of Grievances have been less than a dozen people since the beginning of the famine. Every day the wicked man suffers from the fire and the oil pot. Those who have experienced the cultivation of the Sea of Grievances, the fire sea oil pot is not enough. and throw the wicked into the sea of grievances, and immediately they will be destroyed.
Since then, Zhang Qiusheng has traveled through the Shura Road, the Demon Road and the Sea of Grievances with the wind.
There's no time to measure, and I don't know how many times I've made a round trip. Devouring the evil ghost Shura and constantly advancing towards the sea of resentment were already the means and goals of his cultivation.
Devouring and refining had become the entirety of his life in the Netherworld, and only then did he feel meaningful. If not, what can we do?
With the refining of the sea of resentment, the obsession of his life has gradually faded in his heart. If there is anything left in his heart during his lifetime, it is only some good memories. The sea of grievances does not refine pure beauty, but only one grievance.
Once again, he came to the sea of resentment with the chasing wind. The Yin Spirit Qi of chasing the wind has been condensed into substance, and now it can be cultivated against the edge of the sea.
Zhang Qiusheng, on the other hand, had already gone to the sea, and was even cultivating close to the center. Entering the center of the sea is Zhang Qiusheng's goal now. He endured unspeakable pain with the strength to achieve this goal, but he worked tirelessly to enjoy it.
Zhang Daohan finally appeared. I saw a dog lying on the beach. Looking far away, there was a small blurry black dot on the fiery red sea in the distance. The flame that devoured a qiē resentment and obsession surrounded the small black spot, and only occasionally showed the strong and unyielding black dot in the flickering of the flames.
Zhang Daohan trembled with shock. He had never been to sea. After several military liberations and coming to the Netherworld, his cultivation at this time could only stand by the sea, and he could only stay for as long as a meal at most.
Zhang Daohan used to be proud of this, let me ask who in the entire Netherworld can reach this realm? Because Wangxiangguo's affairs need to be kept secret, he has never told others for such cultivation, and his pride can only be buried in his heart, and he has great regrets about walking at night in brocade clothes.
But how can there be a dog here? Could it be that Qiusheng actually has a pet? Still playing this kind of leisure in the netherworld?
Zhang Daohan tried to ask the dog: "Are you the dog raised by Zhang Qiu?" ”
Chasing Wind stood up and said, "Are you referring to him?" Chasing Wind pointed his paw at the black dot in the distance.
Zhang Daohan was surprised, wasn't Zhang Qiusheng in the sea? A trace of uneasiness welled up in his heart, if it wasn't for Zhang Qiusheng, it meant that there was a terrible opponent in the Netherworld.
"I don't know his name, he never said it. He was my host, but he never said we were friends. ”
Zhang Daohan nodded, if you don't know the name, the black dot is likely to be Qiusheng. Saying that the dog is his friend is also like the tone of Ji Qiusheng.
Zhang Daohan didn't stay long at the beach, he stepped back a distance and slowly waited for the black spot. The flames around the black dot grew smaller and smaller until they were completely gone. This shows that the resentment in him has been refined.
The black dot slowly walked back. When he arrived at the beach, he chased the wind and pointed to Zhang Daohan in the distance with his paws.
The black dot immediately ran towards Zhang Daohan quickly.
Sure enough, it was Zhang Qiusheng. Zhang Daohan looked at him in amazement and relief. At this time, Zhang Qiusheng's Yin Spirit Power was extremely pure. The realm of refinement to simplicity and simplicity looks no different from an ordinary person. If he hadn't seen him come from the depths of the Sea of Grievances with his own eyes, Zhang Daohan really couldn't believe it.
Zhang Daohan said to Qiusheng: "You can't continue to cultivate like this anymore, you must stop immediately." ”
Zhang Qiusheng said: "This is very good, I am used to it." If you stop cultivating, if you go to devour the evil ghost Shura, your body will become very large, and it will be too ugly. And my goal is to get into the center of the sea, which is still some distance away. ”
Zhang Daohan sighed and said, "Of course, the cultivation method you created yourself is excellent. In addition to enduring pain that no one else can endure, the method itself is very simple and applicable.
But everything in the world has a degree, and the Netherworld is no exception. There is definitely a lot of murder in the center of the sea. You must know that this sea of resentment coexists with heaven and earth, and if you can overcome it, it means that you can overcome heaven and earth. Heavenly Dao would never allow this to happen.
Perhaps the next time you take a step forward, it will be the moment when you will be forever gone between heaven and earth. Devouring the Demon Shura's body will become larger, and it can be refined by other methods. Actually, you don't need to devour it anymore, just go and play with me. ”
Zhang Daohan has already glimpsed the supreme way of heaven and has a great understanding of the mysteries of the way of heaven. His cultivation is actually not lower than that of ordinary immortals in the immortal realm, but the heaven and earth are blocked and he can't ascend.
Zhang Qiusheng said blankly: "Okay, if you don't devour the evil ghost Shura, you won't devour it." But I don't want to play, can I just sit here? ”
He has been refined by the sea of resentment and has no desire, except to devour the evil ghost Shura. And devouring was only a part of his life here, not to increase his cultivation. Devouring became his instinct, and refining was another part of instinct.
Zhang Daohan looked at Zhang Qiusheng's innocent face like a child with a painful heart. I thought that this child was originally simple-hearted, but now he has been overly refined, and he has become the same as a child from appearance to psychology, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
From the perspective of cultivation alone, it is of course a good thing to have no desire, and it is also a good thing to be simple-hearted. However, there is absolutely no possibility of ascension in the current Heavenly Dao, is it interesting to only know how to cultivate and live all day long?
He hopes that Qiusheng will be reincarnated with the memories of his previous life, be happy and happy, and be a person without restraints. The autumn life in the previous life is too bitter, and the next life must be recovered. It's not easy to be a person once you are reincarnated, how can you not get back the ticket price?
Whether it is practicing martial arts or cultivating truth, it is just to live more freely. In Zhang Daohan's eyes, today's immortal cultivation is pure nonsense. If you can't ascend and cultivate a fart immortal, the master was right to tell him early to disband the sect and not to pass on the disciples.
"Let's go, what's the fun of sitting here?" Zhang Daohan pulled Zhang Qiusheng away, and said: "You don't want to be a monk, you don't need to practice dry Zen skills." ”
The two of them and a dog walked leisurely in the wasteland of the Netherworld.
Zhang Daohan said: "I have seen the Wangxiang fruit, but it is not ripe yet. I don't know how long it will take to cook. Let's wait and see it in a while. ”
Zhang Qiusheng said: "Don't worry, I don't want to be reincarnated." It's not bad like that, you don't have to worry about eating or drinking, and you don't have to worry about what to wear. That's great! Where in the world can you find such a day? ”
Zhang Daohan thought about where to find an evil ghost to swallow Qiusheng and add some evil thoughts to him. Blindly being simple is an idiot, Zhang Daohan doesn't want to make an idiot friend. But on second thought, demons can't. Those evil ghosts in the Evil Ghost Dao don't know which dynasty and which generation they are, and they don't know what kind of evil they did before they were beaten into the Evil Ghost Dao. If it's too evil, let Qiusheng swallow it and have to refine it.
The point is that if you don't have a seizure, you don't know what kind of evil nature it is, and if you don't have it again after reincarnation, it's too late. If you do heinous and heinous things in the world, that account will be recorded on Qiusheng's head, and you won't be able to get rid of it for the rest of your life.
No matter, I'll talk about it later. Zhang Daohan is open-minded by nature and never makes trouble for himself. The two of them swayed and swayed, and finally came to a large city.
Zhang Qiusheng looked at the weathered city gate, and there was a white stone on it, probably white jade, right? There are three seal characters in the book. He only graduated from junior high school and did not know seal characters. Zhang Dao wrote to him that this was the city of death in vain.
At the gate of the city stood ghost soldiers and ghost soldiers, all armed with swords and sticks, and their expressions were arrogant. Zhang Daohan handed over a few money, and the ghost soldiers let them in.
Zhang Qiusheng asked: "Is this bribery?" ”
Zhang Daohan said with a smile: "This is not bribery, it is a serious city gate tax." Although it is common in the Netherworld to ask for bribes, the guards here don't have much power, so they didn't find out that they were asking for bribes. ”
Zhang Qiusheng asked curiously: "Then where is the bribery and bribery?" ”
Zhang Daohan said: "Then you still need to say? Of course, it's a place where life and death are controlled. It doesn't matter if you don't enter this vain city, if you don't let it in, you won't enter. Those who don't deserve to die have to come here. Don't let in? If you don't let me in, you can get me back, I don't want to come here yet! ”
Zhang Qiusheng was silent. As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. In the same way, where there are ghosts, there are rivers and lakes. Jianghu, that is the law of the jungle. The big ones are eaten, and the snacks are small ones. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the human world and the underworld are the same.
The streets of the city are very clean, at least there are no watermelon peels, banana peels littered everywhere, plastic bags and waste newspapers dancing in the wind. The streets are lined with houses and liquor shops, and it looks very prosperous. It's just that no one is shopping on the road, and it seems to be the time of the Great Depression.
Zhang Qiusheng asked, "What's going on here?" Or is it martial law? Why don't there be a ghost? ”
Zhang Daohan smiled and said: "There is no martial law, there is no word martial law here." That's what the city of the dead is. ”
Zhang Qiusheng asked again: "In such a depression, how do merchants do business?" ”
Zhang Daohan said: "Trading, if there is a ghost coming to the door, of course you have to do it." It doesn't matter if there is no ghost coming to the door.
They have no electricity, water, gas, cable TV bills, no salaries, no public security joint defense fees, garbage fees, and no sanitation fees to pay. There is no value-added tax, business tax, industrial and commercial tax, income tax, consumption tax, and of course, there is no education surtax, urban construction and maintenance tax, etc.
It's good if someone comes to buy something, and it doesn't matter if someone comes to buy something or not. Life is supposed to be like this, is it possible that they will not live a house if they don't do business? ”
