The Beginning of Troubled Times Chapter 44: The Far Mountains Meeting (2)

"I think what Abbot Zhengxin said is right," Chong Xuan Dao Chang on the side continued. "After all, the legend says, 'In the middle of July, the nine stars are aligned, and the demon king is now'. And the key is in the word 'present', this 'present' may only represent the beginning of the demon king's resurrection ceremony, not that the demon king will definitely be resurrected on this day. After all, when the 'Demon King Chiyou' was defeated, his 'Yuan Shen' and 'Flesh' were sealed separately, and if he wanted to resurrect, he believed that only one or two days of preparation was completely insufficient. Therefore, my righteous abbot's opinion is that the day of the 15th day of the seventh month mentioned in this legend is only the beginning of the Demon King's remnants' planning to resurrect 'Chiyou'. ”

"Then why do you have to choose this day to start?" Ma Changhai asked.

"Because, the fifteenth day of July is my traditional Chinese 'Ghost Festival', and on this day, the 'Emperor Xudu' will open the ghost gate and hold the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Banquet'. This also led to the fact that the few days before and after the 'Halloween' were the most prosperous days of yin qi in my entire China. Abbot Zhengxin said. "And when the yin energy is strong, the yang energy will naturally decline. In addition, the nine stars are aligned, which blocks the yang energy of the sun and cannot irradiate the earth, which makes the yang energy even weaker. So these few days are the best time for the major dark forces to take action. Do you all feel that it has not been as convenient to use spells by yourself as it was a few days ago?"

"Being said by the abbot of Zhengxin, it seems to be the case. Mao Haiyang said. "When I was fighting with that group of krakens yesterday, there was a 'Tiger Shark Demon King' among them, I intercepted him on Nansha Island some time ago, and if he hadn't been lucky enough to have a passing 'Dragon Demon King' to help him escape, I would definitely be able to kill him within ten moves. But yesterday, he fought hundreds of moves in ten minutes, and finally managed to get out. ”

"Me too," Park Daiwei said, "Last night, when I was fighting with those troublesome demon clans in Changbai Mountain, I also found that the power of the 'Flying Nine Style' I used was not as good as a few days ago, and I thought it was because I was older and my strength was not as good as before! ”

"Xu Changzhi, your Xu family's 'Seventy-two Demon Suppression Sword' is mainly based on 'ghost qi', don't you feel refreshed these days!" Ma Changhai said.

"I don't feel it," Xu Changzhi said, "but I always have a feeling that this year's 'Halloween' will be very unusual." ”

"Brother Xu, tell me what's not ordinary. As one of the 'Six Heavens of Luo Xu' that the 'Emperor Xudu sat down', you must know some news that we don't know. Mao Haiyang said.

"Not really," Xu Changzhi said seriously. "I just think that there are no natural or man-made disasters in Huaxia this year, but the number of unjust souls in the entire ghost city of Xudu has more than doubled compared to the number of previous years combined. Basically, the people who died normally in the entire Huaxia have become unjust souls who cannot be reincarnated. However, I went to Judge Wei Zheng of the Reward Division to check and found that the souls of the reincarnation of Huaxia were basically the same as in previous years, so where did these extra souls come from? No one knows, after all, those ghosts cannot tell us where the ghosts sent them, and there is no record of their life and death in the life and death books of our prefecture in recent decades. I have also reported this situation to the 'Emperor Xudu'. However, it did not attract his attention. So I feel that this year's 'Halloween' will become especially exciting with the help of people who care. ”

"How could there be such unjust souls in the entire ghost city of Xudu?" Xue Hao said suddenly. "Today, I also dealt with a large number of geyers on the side of 'Qiaogeli Peak', the number is about fifteen hundred, the strength of these geyers is not weak, and the strongest has evolved to the realm of 'ghost king'. At first, I only thought that it might be a primitive tribe that had died unjustly in the local barren mountains and mountains before, but now, Brother Xu, when you say this, I think this group of geists is not so simple, and when these geists are fighting with my 'dragon group' members, what kind of order and prohibition feels a bit like an army. The 'Ghost King' is their highest commander. ”

"Do you two mean that someone is deliberately waking up these unjust souls who have died unjustly and are unable to go to the ghost city of Xudu, and then send them back to the ghost town?" said Daoist Chong Xuan. "But isn't this equivalent to increasing the power of the ghost town, what good is it for them?"

"The Taoist is not right," Xu Changzhi said. "After receiving ordinary ghosts, my ghost town will temporarily detain them in the dungeon, hoping to wash away their resentment and let them recover their memories before they were alive, and then send them to the judge, who will decide whether to sentence them to hell or reincarnate according to their good and evil in life. Not every unjust soul will become a Yin soldier. The selection of Yin soldiers is also very strict. Now there are too many ordinary unjust souls in the ghost city dungeon, so many that they have begun to affect the normal operation of the dungeon. ”

"There must be some conspiracy in this. Those unjust souls who died in a foreign land have abounded in my Chinese land for thousands of years. Abbot Zhengxin said. "I, the capable people and righteous people in Huaxia, have also encountered a superordinate one, but now these unjust souls have actually become pawns of people with intentions to disturb the underworld. It's a pity for these people who die in a foreign land. Amitabha. ”

"But what use is they having to resurrect the Demon King by disturbing the entire underworld? The resurrection of the Demon King, the first target must be the human beings in the present world. Ma Changhai said. "After all, the entire demon race treats us humans as food. For them, the prefecture is nothing more than a production department that determines how much ration they can produce each year. It's impossible for the demons to change their tastes and start eating souls, right?"

Hearing Ma Changhai's rude expression, Park Daiwei, who was already in a bad mood because of the death of 'Uncle Snake', frowned even more unhappily and said, "Old Ma, can you speak more civilly." What kind of demon food and rations, according to what you say, we women have become machines that produce rations specifically for the demons?"

"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, Daddy Park. It's a bit rude to speak, but although my old horse is coarse, the truth is absolutely right. Ma Changhai said.

"Indeed, I can't figure it out either," Xue Hao said: "How does disturbing the underworld help the resurrection demon king, the time is chosen on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, it can be as explained by the abbot of Zhengxin and the head of the Chongxuan Dao, because the yin qi is prosperous, and the yang qi is conducive to their actions." But what is the purpose of disturbing the underworld?" Xue Hao said as he tapped his fingers on the table, falling into thought.

"Actually, have you ever thought about it," Mao Haiyang said again. "If all of this is communicated between Charles and the 'Corpse King' Fan Li, we have been studying the two things separately from the destruction of the Holy See and the theft of my Huaxia Divine Beast Holy Relic. If we study these two things as one thing? What is the use of the stolen sacred relics of the divine beast and the three holy relics of the Holy See together? What is the connection and common ground between Charles's well-intentioned efforts to conquer the whole of Europe and the people with good intentions who are bent on disturbing our Huaxia Prefecture?"

"In order to open a spatial passage that can pass through the demon army!" everyone said in unison.

Due to their special eating habits, the demons treat humans as food. Therefore, when the founding gods created the entire world, they set up a spatial barrier between the demon world and the present world, so that the demons could not pass through the space barrier to the various planes of the present world, and the creatures in the present world could not pass through the space barrier to the demon world. But 5,000 years ago, the Demon World gave birth to a talented Demon King "Chi You", he was talented since he was a child, and when he grew up, he became the best Demon King in the history of the Demon Race, he took his eighty-one brothers, broke through the space barrier between the Demon World and the present world, created a stable passage from the Demon World into the present world, and swept the entire human race with the army of the Demon World. Unfortunately, in the end, the human race defeated the demon king Chiyou and his army under the joint efforts of the two emperors of Yan and Huang in China and the emperor of Xudu. and drove his army back to the Demon Realm, and the spatial barrier passage opened by the Demon King Chiyou was also destroyed by the three great gods.
