Chapter 40: Humans and Ghosts Take Different Paths
Seeing that he was about to enter the downtown area, he left, and then found a place to hide again. A moment later, a figure suddenly flashed in the air, and it seemed that the person was looking for something.
And Ji Ye also found a figure floating in the air at this time, after some consideration, he confirmed that this was the Xue Swordsman he was waiting for, and then he no longer hesitated to float towards him, Xue Swordsman saw Ji Ye appear and flew towards a building in Xudu with Ji Ye.
"Ghost City Security Management Office, do you still have a deputy position?" Ji Ye asked Xue Swordsman in surprise when he saw the sign in front of the door.
"Hehe, what a deputy. That would have been my task. It was Ling Jiantian who was here before, but his term of duty here has expired, and now he is replaced by me. After Xue Swordsman finished speaking, he walked in with his nationality.
Because it was already late at night, there was no one else except a security guard on duty. Swordsman Xue walked all the way into the room where he usually stayed. Once you enter the room, the layout is very simple, except for the desk and chair, there is a bed in the corner.
"You're really here. Glance. Jiye said embarrassedly.
"To make you laugh, we immortal cultivators were not interested in these things in the mortal realm in the first place. What's more, I can only return to my sect after I have been here for about forty years. Swordsman Xue said with a smile.
"Forty years or so, good fellow, it seems that you don't care about time at all. Jiye said with a surprised face.
"We immortal cultivators really don't have any concept of time, you have to know which one of our sect's protectors or above is not an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. Swordsman Xue said lightly.
After hearing this, Ji Ye was even more embarrassed, these times are indeed nothing to immortal cultivators, but for mortals, I am afraid that it is already most of their lives.
"There's something I want to ask you. Swordsman Xue suddenly said with a true face.
"What's wrong?" asked Ji Ye suspiciously.
"I know that you are already a ghost cultivator, although ghost cultivators and immortal cultivators have always been incompatible, but fortunately, we have known each other before, not to mention that you are still a friend of Ji Pingzi's predecessors, from this point on, our Fallen Leaf Sect will never be your enemy. ”
After hearing this, Ji Ye thought to himself, it seems that it is mainly for Ji Pingzi's face, but in fact, he has only known others for a few days after thinking about it.
"But now there's something I need to ask you clearly. When Swordsman Xue said this, he suddenly became serious.
"What's the matter?" asked nervously.
"Is your current cultivation obtained by devouring other living souls?" Swordsman Xue stared at Ji Ye's eyes.
After hearing this, Ji Ye's heart suddenly accelerated, if he was under normal cultivation, his cultivation would probably still be in the late stage of ghosts, but during the time he came to the human world, he had indeed devoured a lot of souls. And in the end, he actually devoured the soul of a ghost, otherwise he would not have advanced to the early stage of the ghost in just ten years.
Looking at Swordsman Xue's eyes, Ji Ye knew that he couldn't hide it, otherwise it would definitely make things more complicated.
"Yes, for some reason it did devour a few souls. After that, Jiye told Xue Swordsman about his arrival in the human world.
After hearing this, Swordsman Xue sighed and said.
"Well, it is indeed unbearable for people to be deceived by their own love. But at that time, you really shouldn't have devoured Cao Jianguo's soul, you should know this very well as a ghost cultivator. There are two kinds of ghost cultivators, one is asceticism, this kind of ghost cultivator is actually the same as the immortal cultivators in the human world, they all absorb the essence of heaven and earth to improve their cultivation, the difference is that immortal cultivators absorb spiritual energy, and they absorb yin qi. The other is the hated Soul Eater Ghost Cultivator, on the one hand, they absorb Yin Qi, and more rely on devouring the souls of other living beings to improve themselves, and after a long time, they will become murderous, and regard living beings as grass mustard, which is the case with those ghost cultivators who chased and killed you back then. After Xue Swordsman finished speaking, he looked at his career regretfully.
"Is that an exaggeration, and won't I just stop devouring souls in the future?" said Ji Ye uneasily.
"The authorities definitely can't feel it, do you think about it now, since you devoured Cao Jianguo, have all the ghost cultivators killed by you been devoured by you?"
After hearing this, I broke out in a cold sweat, which is indeed the case. After that, whether it was Li Kun or Zhang Xiaoying, or the unknown black-robed ghost cultivator, they were all devoured by themselves. Thinking about the situation now, there was an irresistible temptation to devour their souls. But he knew that he was not a person who loved to kill, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to come to Swordsman Xue today. Thinking of this, Ji Ye suddenly said to Xue Swordsman
"Then I just don't want to kill others anymore in the future, right?" After finishing speaking, he also praised his wit from the bottom of his heart.
"Jiye, don't be naïve, okay? Think about it yourself, which of those people you killed and the ghost cultivators you took the initiative to provoke, and didn't they all have the evil intentions they had against you first? You can't escape the way of survival of the jungle. What Swordsman Xue said was like a basin of cold water poured on Ji Ye's head.
"Then what should I do? Will I just keep killing? In the end, the six relatives don't recognize the world as enemies?" said Ji Ye dumbfounded.
"For now, you should go back to the sect of the underworld first, after all, there may still be room for you. In the human world, your enemies are not only some ghost cultivators with bad intentions, but also a large number of immortal cultivators who will be your enemies. Swordsman Xue said regretfully.
Ji Ye was very depressed after hearing this, although the purpose of his coming to the human world this time had been achieved, it was also a disaster. After that, Jiye said goodbye to Xue Swordsman, and when he left, Xue Swordsman told him good news, that is, the ghost cultivator who chased them before had been killed by him, so Jiye no longer had to worry about being interrogated about the matter between him and Xue Swordsman when he returned to the ghost city.
After returning to the ghost town, Jiye quickly found Sun Qingcheng, and then took Sun Qingcheng to the teleportation place into the underworld. After helping Sun Qingcheng pay five dark stones, Sun Qingcheng said gratefully to his hometown.
"The predecessor Sun Qingcheng can only pay it back in the next life. ”
After hearing this, Ji Ye smiled and nodded.
"Let's go, after you get to the underworld, let's go to reincarnation, I'm afraid that a little more delay will increase the danger. Ji Ye instructed.
After hearing this, Sun Qingcheng hurriedly responded, and after saying goodbye to his karma again, he entered the teleportation of the underworld.
After sending Sun Qingcheng away, the head of the industry took a breath, no matter what, he finally returned his favor. The next step is to go to Kunlun Mountain's own cemetery, and from there to inspire the token to enter the underworld. Originally, he also wanted to teleport from the ghost city into the underworld, but when he inquired, he learned that if he entered from here, he would be teleported to the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yama King of the underworld, and when he wanted to return to the Black Water Sect, he would probably have to go a long way.
Three days later, Ji Ye came to the cultivation place of Ji Pingzi in Kunlun Mountain, and from a distance, the prohibition that shone around the Taoist temple could be faintly seen. Jiye originally wanted to go to see Miaoyuan and them, but after hesitating for a long time, he gave up this plan.
At the beginning, Miao Yuan and Zhongyang left him when they saw that they were devouring their souls, and then Xue Swordsman told him that from now on, there was no place for him in the human world. Now how can he still have the face to face the people who once took care of him in every way.
"Forget it, I'd better go back to the underworld. Ji Ye took one last look at the Taoist temple in the distance, and finally entered his tomb to activate the token and teleport back to the underworld.
Just as he entered the tomb, someone was watching him in the distance. This person is Miao Yuan Dao Chang, and he also has mixed feelings in his heart when he sees his origins. No matter how his career comes to this point, he can't get out of the relationship. If he had gone out with him, what would have happened later. Just when he wanted to step forward and call for his nationality, his nationality disappeared all of a sudden. Then a large amount of Yin Qi was released from the tomb of Jiye, followed by a wave of spatial fluctuations, and then everything returned to calm.
He went back anyway. Miao Yuan muttered to herself.
