Chapter 856: Thirty Thousand Water Ghosts
The affairs of the living, the dead are less involved!
This sentence really refreshed my understanding of Jacob!
The living are the living, and the dead are the dead. Even if you don't like each other, it's not your turn to tell the dead!
Athena originally wanted to sow discord, let there be infighting among the living, and reap the benefits of the fisherman herself. Who thought that Jacob didn't eat him, opened his mouth, and almost choked Athena to death.
This guy is also one of the twelve main gods in the ghost country, and he was scolded by Jacob in front of so many people, and he was suddenly furious, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, only to see the water turbulent and spread in all directions.
Jacob snorted heavily, turned his head to me and said, "Zhang Wuxin, although I don't think you are very pleasing to the eye, but I am also a bright and upright man!" ”
"That's right, we are indeed here for the sake of Great Scientist Miley and His Majesty the God Emperor! Don't be in a hurry to get angry, in this world, you will become a king or a loser! Although you and I have different paths, after all, it is only for the living to be able to continue! ”
I kept my face composed, but I didn't speak. Jacob is right, although Great Scientist Miley and His Majesty the God Emperor are selfish, as a proud exorcist, they really don't want to surrender to the dead.
They tried to abandon Middle-earth and stand with the dead, not to surrender to the dead, but to temporarily satisfy the appetite of the Ancestor of the Corpse, and then take this opportunity to leave a respite for the living.
Fundamentally speaking, Great Scientist Miley and His Majesty the Divine Emperor had no intention of surrendering the dead at all! It's just that their pessimism is not recognized by Middle-earth, so they fall short and are discredited.
I nodded and said, "You're right, Miley and His Majesty the God Emperor are not betrayers. But they have done more harm to Middle-earth and the Western world than traitors! ”
Jacob sneered: "Without sacrifice, where does success come from?" Zhang Wuxin, you shouldn't be here to argue with me, right? ”
I nodded slightly and said, "You go on!" ”
Jacob snorted and said, "The Lord of the Styx has three million water ghosts, which is an extremely large number!" But the Lord of the River Styx has never been involved in the battle of life and death. He is detached, extremely powerful, and lives in the depths of the River Styx, regardless of the upheaval of the world outside, and whether the living or the dead are in charge outside. ”
"As long as Styx is around, no one can shake his position!"
Jacob is right, in the River Styx, only the Lord of the River Styx is the absolute king, here, you have to coil the dragon, you have to lie down if it is the tiger! No living or dead man would sin against him in the River Styx!
But according to Jacob, just some time ago, news came that the Lord of the River Styx wanted to expel a group of vicious water spirits from the River Styx.
With the reversal of yin and yang between heaven and earth, the advent of the Great Dark Age has made all demons and monsters ready to move. Countless demons and monsters want to take advantage of the troubled times to come out and make waves.
Among them, the most representative ones are the ancestor of the ghost, Hua Biaogui, the eternal golden corpse Zheng Kexiu, and the person in charge of the order to win the mandate of heaven and others.
One of them created the ghost country, and the other established the ghost country, and Win the Mandate of Heaven became the general leader of the Ten Thousand Ghost Alliance, which can be regarded as a successful person.
Those ambitious guys all want to follow the old path of these people again, even if they can't compete in the world and dominate one side, they still have a place to live.
There are three million water ghosts in the River Styx, and there are many of them, and it is inevitable that some water ghosts will have ambitions and want to break away from the River Styx and take advantage of the troubled times to get a piece of the pie.
This idea naturally goes against the original intention of the Lord of the River Styx, so he is furious and plans to kill all the water ghosts who want to leave the River Styx and re-establish his prestige.
With the means of the Lord of the River Styx, it is natural to suppress some dissidents. The 30,000 water ghosts didn't even stir up a single wave, and they were immediately suppressed.
Originally, the Lord of the Styx wanted to integrate all the three souls and seven spirits of these guys into the Styx, which was a death sentence in an alternative sense. But then, I don't know what happened, I changed my mind and decided to expel all these disobedient water ghosts from the River Styx.
This decision is intriguing, 30,000 water ghosts, not too much, no less, can riot in the River Styx, and the strength is not bad.
The Lord of Styx was not a good man, so why did he make this decision?
Originally, this matter was just an internal matter of the River Styx, and it had nothing to do with the rest of the demons anyway. But where did the expelled water ghosts go? Certainly will attract the attention of others.
So the evil cults who got the news sent messengers into the River Styx, all wanting to bring these 30,000 water ghosts under their control.
What is the most important thing in these years of chaos? Of course, it's ghostly. There is a strong water ghost army in hand, you can conquer the city when you enter, and you can defend the country when you retreat, who doesn't want it?
Jacob and Pastor Kyle ventured into the River Styx this time, but they actually came for 30,000 water ghosts.
I was a little amused when I heard this, and I was secretly frightened. It's funny that Jacob and Pastor Kyle, as living people, want a group of water ghosts, isn't it too whimsical?
What is terrifying is that if these 30,000 water ghosts fall into the hands of the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, I am afraid that there will be no peace in the rivers and lakes of Middle-earth from now on.
I thought for a moment and asked, "The 30,000 water ghosts are Yin Spirits, why do you think you can get these 30,000 water ghosts?" ”
Jacob said lightly: "Zhang Wuxin, if 30,000 water ghosts dare to rebel against the Lord of the River Styx, they must be extremely vicious and ruthless. What did they come out of the Styx for? Don't you want to take advantage of the troubled times to give yourself a foothold? Who doesn't want to be the second Zheng Kexiu and the second to win the Mandate of Heaven? ”
"There are 30,000 such ambitious people, who do you think can control them?"
I shook my head, "Even the Lord of the River Styx dares to rebel, and no one can completely control them. That's a bunch of evil stars! ”
Jacob nodded, "That's right! In essence, whoever got these 30,000 water ghosts did not give himself wings, but left a bomb around him! And it's the kind that can explode at any time! ”
"But think about it, they were expelled from the River Styx, they had nothing, not even a foothold, what did they want most?"
"Magic weapon! Turf! As long as we can provide the 30,000 water ghosts with enough magic weapons and enough territory, we can ask them to do one thing for us! ”
"Don't expect these water ghosts to die for themselves, we have our eyes on these 30,000 water ghosts, we just want to make a deal with them. To put it simply, it's a mercenary! We pay, they help! After the employment is over, everyone goes their separate ways, and no one can hinder anyone! ”
When I heard this, it dawned on me, I see!
The 30,000 water ghosts are unruly and bent on making a name for themselves, but they have no money, no magic weapons, and no territory to stand on.
So what to do? Working with the rest of the people, of course!
Whether it is the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, the Ghost Country, the Ghost Country, the Twelve Cities of the Drunken Capital, or even the living, as long as they can meet their requirements, what can they do for these employers?
The 30,000 water ghosts are extremely strong, and with the concerted efforts, what can they not do?
Thinking of this, I suddenly said to Jacob: "You have come here to hire 30,000 water ghosts, do you want to save Great Scientist Miley and His Majesty the God Emperor?" ”
Jacob said lightly: "Great Scientist Miley and His Majesty the Divine Emperor are the masters of a generation, and they cannot be imprisoned in the Great Ghost Prison. Since Middle-earth refuses to let go, shouldn't we think of a way? ”
I smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you are not destined to succeed." ”
After that, I sat down in my chair and poured myself another glass of wine.
When I was drinking, my mind was racing. Something is wrong with this!
The Lord of the River Styx is not a good man and a woman, so why should he let go of the water ghosts who betrayed him? Why did you release the news and let the evil spirits of the world gather here to find a force that these water ghosts could cooperate with?
No, unless this is directed and acted by the Lord of the Styx, who wants to use these 30,000 ghost soldiers to open up a new Styx kingdom on land.
But the Lord of the River Styx has been sticking to the River Styx for thousands of years, and even if there is chaos outside, he has no idea of going out to fight for territory. What's more, the Lord of the River Styx is a king in the River Styx, and without the River Styx, who can he be the opponent of?
More than a dozen possibilities came to my mind, and then I rejected them one by one. I can't think of any mystery in this, but I know that there is definitely something wrong with it!
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly noticed that the yin qi in the water flow was agitating, breaking through the water and fire warding off evil clothes and directly invading my body. I was taken aback, and the fire on my body flickered slightly, and it quickly flowed along my clothes, expelling the cold yin qi in an instant.
It was at this time that the door of the VIP building opened, and a polite black-robed ghost stood at the door, smiling and saying, "Distinguished guests, the king is invited." ”
The body of this black-robed yin soul was condensed, like a living person, and a pair of eyes exuded a green light, overflowing with yin energy. That is, this yin qi that came out of it could quietly penetrate my water and fire warding off evil clothes.
In the face of this yin qi, the rest of the evil spirits are just enough, but the dozen or so living people around Jacob are pale because of insufficient protection, and they have a feeling of powerlessness.
Hearing the invitation of the Lord of the River Styx, the demons stood up one after another, bent down and saluted the black-robed Yin Spirit, even the unruly Chen Feng did not hold the shelf of the Ten Thousand Demon Pit, his face was full of humility.
The black-robed yin soul didn't care, and said lightly: "Distinguished guests, please come with me." ”
He shook his body, and he was already floating straight ahead with the current of the River Styx.
The city lord of Miheng City was impatient, and he was the first to rush out, muttering in his mouth: "The hand is fast, but the hand is slow!" If it's late, just wait to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water! ”
The group of evils glared at him angrily, and the city lord of Sin City snorted coldly, waved his big hand, and followed closely.
As soon as they moved, the demons behind them were worried that they would be robbed of the first hand, and they rushed to the door, and only a few people with self-respecting identities were confident and disdained to compete with each other.
