Chapter 173: Confusion (Part II)
The black fog receded...... Shizhang!? The land is lost and regained!?
Maybe those thousands of masters still couldn't understand what Judge Cui was saying for the time being, but the others, including King Chujiang's personal guards, understood what it meant.
"So...... Subordinate...... Belch...... According to the previous inference...... I calculated it...... I thought that the prince had beheaded at least eight thousand ......," Judge Cui said, and glanced at Wang Xi at the same time after speaking.
That means very clearly.
If you don't understand your black fog theory, it's still wrong!
King Chu Jiang closed his eyes and muttered, "Sure enough...... It's a ...... that doesn't get exciting. Good news......"
Bai Wuchang waved his hand, and after the commanders saluted, they withdrew from the palace.
"Wang Xi, how do you explain?" King Chu Jiang asked.
Wang Xi was thinking about it when Judge Cui said that the black fog had receded ten feet.
After a while, he said, "Your Highness, I don't think I need any explanation, just to find out what happened." ”
"What do you mean?"
Wang Xi said: "Your Highness, what I said before is that when the widow dies, the black fog recedes. It has nothing to do with what you're about to do, or what Judge Cui mistakenly thinks you've done. The boundary gate just now is open in the underworld. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted.
What Judge Cui said was too shocking.
In addition, as soon as he entered the door, he was chaotic and rhythmic, and he took it for granted that the two things were connected.
Think about it, if the King of Chu Jiang had already led his troops through the boundary gate and won a great victory, what would have happened?
It must be that the black fog continues to erode inland.
Because the Yin soldiers under Lu Houliang can only be spirits, it is impossible for them to be in the underworld, and there are 8,000 relics, right?
Lu Houliang himself can enter and exit the ghost gate by deception, but the bereaved person is definitely not good.
"So, something must have happened in the sun." Wang Xi said.
"You've won a big battle in the inner courtyard?" King Chu Jiang muttered to himself.
"Go, let Guan Qianwei inquire if there is anything big going on in the yang world. Forget it, Bi'an, you go to spread the word in person, you can't give Lu Hou Liang a chance to take advantage of it, remember, the order to block the ghost gate is still valid, even if you can, you can only shout under the pass. ”
Bai Wuchang received the order and left immediately.
"The arrangement just now, in fact, is almost the same, there is no help, you can take everyone on your journey, I still have a few words to say to Wang Xi."
Seeing that Hei Wuchang had even taken away those guards in the palace, Wang Xi said, "Your Highness, are you not guarding your palace?" ”
Although there is not much research on the gate and it is not clear how it works, one thing is still relatively certain.
That is, no matter where the other point it corresponds to, as long as it is located, then the way back and forth is the same.
If this place becomes an empty palace of the king, then Lu Houliang will open another boundary gate and come back, wouldn't it really be worthy of the name of "like entering a no-man's land"?
And...... After Lu Houliang came back, what should he do with Xiaoyi?
In King Chujiang's arrangement, he didn't count himself.
When the time comes, will it not be slaughtered by others?
King Chu Jiang said: "These things, if they are destroyed, they will be destroyed, and they will be built again." Anyway, the Yin soldiers under his command are energetic all day long, and they have nowhere to vent. You come with me. ”
Wang Xi pulled Xiao Yi and followed behind King Chu Jiang.
However, looking at this posture, he guessed a few points.
"Come in, I've extended the ban to a single foot. There will still be a few guards left here, and if you are hungry, you can ask them to help you buy something. Of course, if you want to come out, you can come and go at any time. It's just that if the kind of thing you said really happens, I'm afraid you won't have time to go in. ”
Although it was only Zhang Po straw mat in front of him, since he knew that it was the throne of King Chujiang, Wang Xi's mood was naturally extremely excited.
"You and Xiao Yi can just mark the spiritual sense, if the others want to break in, it will cause a cloudy thunder. But you are in the midst of this, rest assured. ”
"Yin thunder? How many are there? Wang Xi asked.
King Chu Jiang said: "You don't care about this, it's my secret." But I can tell you that one piece is thicker than my entire palace, so there is no such thing as using your body to avoid it. ”
"Your Highness, you are so domineering, I suddenly feel that I should be diligent and go with you."
"No, the march is too long, and we can sleep forever, but you are mortal creatures, and not only can you bear it, but it will slow us down. Moreover, this little girlfriend of yours, her face has changed. ”
Wang Xi turned his head and looked, sure enough, Xiao Yi obviously didn't want to travel so hard.
It's not a fun, it's a boring exploration task, and she can't be interested in it.
"Okay, Wang Xi, keeping you here is not to let you be idle, you have to help me figure out something."
"Your Highness, please speak." When it came to business, Wang Xi naturally became serious.
King Chu Jiang said: "That is, why do the bereaved people hate our underworld so much. Judge Cui is right, the bereaved use of the black mist to erode the underworld is a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and it is a desperate plan. The dead are dead, and the black fog recedes. We die, and the black fog enters. I think this reasoning is fine. And between the black fog and the newborn soul, although it doesn't make sense, it is obvious that there is still a relationship. There are a lot of classics here, you can ask someone to pick it up for you, if you really don't have it, let them find it, basically they are more detailed and reliable. It's just that most of the historical figures have already re-entered the reincarnation, and if you want to talk to each other face-to-face, it's impossible. ”
Wang Xi understood that King Chu Jiang had helped him point out in a general direction, and said, "If you want to find out, then you have to go back at least a thousand years to check." I can find out what major events have happened before that. ”
"Yes, it's a long time ago. Hey, this kind of opponent is too insidious......"
"Yes, the ultimate goal is your underworld, but on the surface, he never conflicts with you, he only needs to aim at the ordinary people in the yang world. As long as you refine people's souls or get their souls scattered, then the land of your underworld will be eroded, and in the end, maybe everything will cease to exist. ”
"Then the king will take the first step, Wang Xi, remember that you two don't do anything strange on my mat. Of course, you can sit on it and meditate, but it's better not to take too long, just to refine your soul. After King Chu Jiang finished speaking, he left.
Wang Xi saw that there were actually not many people left in the palace at this time, just two female ghost generals, and looking at the military rank, they were actually centurions. Hey, how can I ask people to buy things, at most I just say it when I have a need to consult information.
He greeted Xiao Yi, and the two sat cross-legged on the mat together, feeling that King Chu Jiang was interesting and generous!
"It's a rare opportunity, you should practice for a while. I want to do something. Wang Xi said.
"Okay." Xiaoyi obediently lay down, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Wang Xiben was surprised that Xiao Yi would be so obedient, but when she saw her movements, she understood that she understood "practice" as "rest", so she had to smile helplessly and calm down to think about things.
King Chu Jiang is right, the underworld will not become the target of the bereaved for no reason, there must be a reason.
Moreover, it must not be a misunderstanding. There is no way to solve the problem through communication and explanation, it can only be life and death.
Hey, I didn't expect to go around in such a big circle, and finally returned to the original point.
Thousands of years ago, the family of doctors and witches was separated, and witches were raised and taught the method of refining souls. Then so many years have passed, I don't know how many people have been murdered and ended up in a devastated end, and the bereaved people have benefited from this......
No, profit?
What's the benefit?
I still don't see what the bereaved have gained from this.
Even if Wu was deceived and didn't know the true purpose of soul refining, at least people's strength had finally increased, and it would make sense to fool them.
But for the bereaved, it's different.
Are they simply harming others and themselves?
In this case, the revenge component will be greater......
But when it comes to revenge, how can we talk about it?
The underworld has always been fair, and it does not interfere in the affairs of the yang world, how can it be possible to offend a group of big living people?
Besides, as soon as Meng Po soup was drunk, the past immediately followed the clouds, and I didn't remember anything, where is there still a generational feud?
Moreover, this kind of hatred that is relatively large is usually associated with war.
In the past, I had never heard of such a thing as a yin and yang fight.
Therefore, the possibility of revenge can be considered, but it is not in the first place for the time being.
So what else is more likely?
The underworld and the remnants are completely people from two worlds.
Does the anthropological approach still work here?
Even if it works, I'm not a person who does this, and I haven't learned it.
Perhaps, the only contact was when I was reading Mr. Liu Cixin's masterpiece "The Three-Body Problem" when I was a student before, and I talked about part of this content...... No, now that I think about it, that's the core of the book.
According to this line of thought, is it the law of the dark forest?
Is it a snatch of resources?
It's not reliable at all!!
The underworld has already completed the unification of the underworld, but is it in the way of the affairs of the underworld?
The gold, silver, treasures, minerals, and medicinal materials of the underworld, can you snatch them back?
The underworld is generous, all of them will be given to you, moved outside the ghost gate, and let the bereaved take it, how long can it be kept?
Where in this world are there so many extreme yin places for you to preserve these things, even if there are so many places, all of them have been found by the bereaved people?
With such good luck, why not buy lottery tickets and bet on horses?
Why bother fighting, killing, and killing.
Therefore, there is no contradiction in living space or resources. The law of the dark forest is here, and it doesn't work.
Although Xiao Yi closed his eyes, he hadn't fallen asleep yet, and he was chatting with Wang Xi sentence by sentence, and he had never heard what Wang Xi said about the laws of the dark forest, so naturally he couldn't help much.
"But although I don't understand the laws of the dark forest, I think you're quite right, there will be no possibility of resource grabbing between yin and yang, so ...... Therefore, those who can compete for resources with the underworld can only be ghosts. ”
Wang Xi took a deep breath, not surprised, but he felt that Xiao Yi's statement still had some truth, in fact, it was his previous speculation, and if he pushed it one more time, it would come out naturally.
"No, it's impossible, Tang No's previous body was dissected in detail by the courtyard, and the remnant can't be a ghost." Wang Xi said.
"I didn't say they were ghosts. For example, Lu Hou Liang, isn't he a ghost? And he still has Yin soldiers under him, and the palace is remote, why can't he fight with the underworld? Xiao Yi turned over, put his feet on Wang Xi's coiled thighs, and asked him to help him hammer.
"Not really. King Chu Jiang said that judging from Lu Hou Liang's Yan Jun aura, he would not be able to obtain his own palace for a hundred years at most. Moreover, if that is really the case, it is impossible for him and the bereaved to cooperate. You think, his palace is not far from the border of the underworld, if the bereaved man's plan succeeds, then it is estimated that his palace will be the first to be swallowed by the black mist. Wang Xi pointed out that this point is very crucial.
"So, the black fog has receded ten feet." Xiaoyi took it for granted.
"This ......"
"Am I right?"
"I don't know, I just don't know how to refute it for a while."
"Then you think slowly, don't stop, go on." Xiao Yi saw that the movements in Wang Xi's hand stopped, and reminded him.
"I thought about it, what you said makes sense, but in this case, the bereaved people are taken out again, and it is not about the bereaved people, so why are they making such a fuss? I started planning a thousand years ago, and at that time, it is estimated that there was no Lu Hou Liang, right? ”
"Uh-huh."
"You have no comment?"
"No, you're in charge. You see, Senior Brother Zhou is not here, you are not able to think about things the same. ”
Wang Xi had paid attention to this matter before, and said: "It seems that I really responded to that sentence, don't force myself, I really don't know how good I am, hahahaha." ”
"Wang Xi, you go and ask me if there is a quilt, this mat is lying on it, it's quite cold."
"Couldn't it be hungry? If I ask these two eldest sisters to help, and then go buy you some Yangchun noodles and come back, King Chujiang and their cooks shouldn't be with the army, right? ”
"No, don't you think? On this mat, I always feel that the yin qi is even worse. ”
"It seems like it's really...... Isn't that strange, though? This is the throne of King Chujiang. ”
"It always feels like it's a bit like being at the previous gate."
Wang Xi recalled for a moment and said, "Hearing you say this, I also feel this way." It seems that the yin qi over there is more pure. Belch...... Maybe it's because of the black fog......"
Xiao Yi was not particularly serious, and said, "Then let's eat a bowl of noodles." Forget about buying three bowls, we will have one bowl per person, and the remaining bowl will be eaten separately. ”
Before Wang Xi could speak, a ghost general had already walked out of the palace, and it seemed that he had heard the conversation between the two.
Another ghost general spoke at this time: "Actually, just now over there, I also had the same feeling as Xiao Yi girl. ”
"In this way, it has nothing to do with this throne......" Wang Xi said.
"But I don't recommend that you stay on it too much, although you refine your soul, but then you will be weak enough to leave your soul, and even because of the prosperity of yin and yang, your body will fall apart."
"Huh? But although the body is cold to sit on it, the soul is very comfortable. How long do you usually stay? ”
"So far, except for His Royal Highness King Chu Jiang, no other ghosts have sat on it, of course, you are mortals, it doesn't count."
"Have any other humans ever sat down?"
"When you were a teacher, you were faithful, and the longest record was to sit for three minutes."
"Then I'm ......"
"No, he was too young to sit still, and every minute or two of his sitting, he was attracted to something else. But he sat for about four hours. ”
"Oh." Wang Xi relaxed a little and continued to meditate.
But within five minutes, the centurion was back again, empty-handed.
She walked straight towards Wang Xi, stopped five meters away from the throne, and said: "I just met Bai Shuai, he went to inquire before the ghost gate, and waited for about an hour or so, and got the news that there was no war in the yang world, and the entire shadow circle was extremely quiet. ”
Wang Xi hurriedly stood up and stabbed Xiao Yi.
King Chu Jiang let himself be here for the sake of safety.
It's nothing to give up the throne to yourself.
But when the other party's subordinates talk about things, they still sit like that, do they really think that they are the masters of this palace?
"One more thing, within this hour, reports were coming from all over the country, the discovery of new souls, and at present, there are more than 7,000 cases, and the number is still rising. Considering what you said earlier, I think the number will stay at ......"
"Eight thousand, ten zhang distance...... It should correspond to eight thousand souls......" Wang Xi closed his eyes, feeling that no matter what he thought, he couldn't explain this phenomenon.
