Chapter 1 The Ghost Market of Xudu (500 red envelopes on Monday)
The Ghost World, the Underworld, the Underworld...... For the human race, these are all words related to the netherworld, the destination after death, the paradise of the dead, it sounds like the world of ghosts, but from the perspective of the ghost race, there is actually a big difference between the three.
The underworld is located in the Nine Shades, and although the area is vast and boundless, it is only a part of the Nine Shades. The ghost world is located on the underworld, and in a broad sense, all ghosts that can be active on the underworld for a long time are ghosts, and the so-called ghost world and the underworld and the underworld mean the same thing.
But if you have ever had the experience of drifting and roaming on the underworld, you will know that there is a huge error in this, in fact, more than ninety percent of the underworld is a barren, lifeless eternal land, there is nothing on it except the eternal yin wind, even the ghosts cannot stay on it for a long time, otherwise they will assimilate with it, or become a yin wind, or turn into a wasteland.
The vast and boundless underworld really makes ghosts gather, and the several places that can inhabit and move, the overall area is less than five percent of the underworld, and the ghosts in it, after hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, not to mention the number of sand in the Ganges, it is simply incalculable...... For the ghost clan, only these habitats can be called the ghost world, as for the underworld in a broad sense...... It's a hell place where ghosts can't stay.
“...... But when it comes to Hades, it's a different story...... As the name suggests, it is the palace that manages the underworld, which is in charge of the emperors of the underworld, with emperors and officials, generals and soldiers, who control all the ghosts from top to bottom, with a strict system, more authority, and control the reincarnation channel, which is the ultimate destination of our ghost clan......"
In a market, a blind old ghost with gray eyes and a pale body was touching the wooden board in his hand, while talking to several new ghosts in front of him, telling some common sense of the ghost world. Where are you going to queue?"
As soon as these words came out, Deng Shi attracted a series of ridicule from the side, and several ghosts next to him suddenly had a natural seizure and ridiculed this very ridiculous question.
“...... How can this guy be so funny when he talks?"
"Hahahaha...... I'm laughing to death, everyone can finally enter the Hades? Do you think the Hades Mansion is opened by your family?"
"Why don't you say you're going to win the jackpot every day?
"To be able to enter the underworld is to get the opportunity to reincarnate and reincarnate, this kind of good thing, only the luckiest ghosts can hit it, do you think they can all do?"
"You think so beautifully, why don't you just say that you are His Majesty the Emperor of Hades? ”
The group of ghosts took turns to mock this young ghost who didn't know what to do, and finally the old blind man waved his hand, "You just came, right? Don't you even understand this? Hades is the final place where we become ghosts, and when we enter Hades, we can be reincarnated through the reincarnation channel, but there are very few people who have the opportunity to go there, none in ten thousand, and the vast majority of them ...... I'm still wandering on the road, and I don't know when I'm going to float ......."
When the young man with random hair heard this, he wondered: "It's always floating, isn't there an end?"
"Otherwise, how can it be called a lonely ghost and a wild ghost? Naturally, the wild ghost is floating all day long, and there is no place to return. The old blind man laughed and said, "But maybe one day it will float and suddenly disappear, and that will be another kind of relief...... Unless you really win the jackpot and are lucky enough to enter the underworld and enter reincarnation, and relieve the suffering of this lonely soul exposed to the sun and rain, otherwise...... To be able to destroy the gods and turn them into nothing, is not a good thing for us. ”
“...... I see. ”
After hearing this, the young man nodded in response, as if he had thought of something, and wanted to think about it on his own, and was immediately robbed by other ghosts next to him, "It's a fart, it's hard to die and still be conscious, to be a ghost, to continue to exist, I don't want to die again." ”
As soon as these words came out, several ghosts next to them nodded vigorously, indicating that they felt the same way. After the death of the living, there is a great possibility that they will be wiped out directly, and there is nothing left, just being able to gather souls and transform into ghosts is already a kind of luck, and if you get another different life, especially these who enter the ghost world, you don't have to worry about being chased and beaten to the soul, and you have seen the prosperity of the ghost market, who is willing to die again?
Ghosts are the lucky remnants of the living after death, for them, the greatest desire is to seek "life", obviously they are dead, but one is more afraid of death than the other, and when it comes to dying again, they are all afraid of snakes and scorpions.
The old blind man smiled dumbly, "Your whole batch, it seems that they are all newcomers, and I don't know how powerful they are, and after a long time, you will understand these things by then...... Now I tell you, you don't understand it either...... For ghosts, there is nothing left, and it is really liberating. ”
Listening quietly in general, he reached out and combed his messy hair by the way, Wen Quzhi has quite a good understanding of this, although he has not been in the ghost world for a long time, but he already knows a little about the situation of the ghost clan, and it is indeed not so easy to be a lonely ghost and "live" well.
The vast majority of the ghost clan is the existence of pure energy bodies, and there is no material covering, and they are extremely sensitive to various energy reactions, and the energy fluctuations of the surrounding water, fire, and land scenery, even if it is just a small point, have a great impact on them.
Directly exposed to the sun, these low-level ghosts will be directly wiped out, even if they are only swept by the sun, it is like being in a furnace, burning the body, and the pain is unbearable, and the cold of the dark night in the ghost world will make them fall into an ice cellar, and they will have to bear the cold every moment, which is also unbearable......
The creature has just died, the soul has been transformed into a ghost, and there is still residual yang energy left in the body, and the reaction to these energy changes is not too intense, so the new ghosts are a little arrogant and don't take these seriously, but as time passes, the residual yang energy is gradually exhausted, and then you will know how powerful it is......
It can be said that it is very unfortunate for living beings to become ghosts, and death is not the end of everything, but they must continue to bear these thousands of sufferings, but they are very lucky, because not every creature dies, it is fortunate to be a ghost, and it disappears directly, and there is nothing left, and there are not a few. Although ghosts have to endure thousands of pains, they can finally continue their previous personality and have a chance to walk out again......
“...... Disgusted by heaven and tabooed by the world, that is the natural fate of our ghosts...... Even if we are fortunate enough to enter the underworld and re-enter reincarnation, so what? It's just another cycle of rebirth and death, reincarnation and rebirth, how wonderful a new life can we be, and in the end, won't we become ghosts again? Only complete extinction is the true liberation of us. ”
The old blind man sighed and spoke, with the expression on his face, it was indeed sincere, but several new ghosts next to him showed disapproving expressions, they had just been "reborn" after death, and their obsession with survival was greater than anything else, that is, real death was inevitable, and they all tried their best to leave traces in the world before, how could they pursue any liberation now?
Wen Quzhi listened quietly on the side, his eyes swept back and forth, paying attention to the movements of these ghosts, and filling in the gaps in his understanding of ghosts.
This trip directly into the ghost world with the help of the road mark, stepping into the Nine Shadows, is his ability to achieve great power, than the original use of the Taiyi system, greatly saving trouble and money, but some equipment still needs to be obtained through Taiyi, for example, like the ghost object shape set that I use now, it is purchased with Taiyi.
When the living enter the ghost world, just the release of the breath will make the surrounding ghosts go crazy, just for a moment, in all directions, hundreds of millions of ghosts, will be like a shark smelling blood, crazy to come, even the heavenly level will not be able to bear it, and then consider the suppression of the living beings by the laws of the underworld, the high-level existence in the ghost clan, not to mention that he has just been promoted to the power, even if he is an ancient person, he may not be able to please, so he needs to block the living people's anger and disguise the equipment of ghosts, Taiyi has it for sale, but ...... The price is not cheap.
In order to save money, I bought a low-end version and came back for a major change, and forcibly upgraded the equipment that could only be used below the ground level to those who could act on the heavenly level, but after I was promoted to the power, I don't know how long this set of things can last......
The only thing that can solve the problem of the equipment is to manage to complete the high-level skill of the transformation technique without relying on external objects: Yin Ghost Transformation.
The six-eared macaque series of change techniques, the most basic changes have seventy-two kinds, the secret combination of the earth's evil technique, but after the completion of the basic changes, to carry out some high-level changes involving some gods, ghosts, demons, immortals and Buddhas, it is necessary to build a complex energy circuit based on multiple changes, in order to achieve something, that is, the high-level thirty-six changes.
Yin ghost change, is one of the thirty-six changes of Tiangang, the change of the ghost body, the same as the real, is to completely transform the life form into a ghost, not an illusion, relying on this skill in the ghost world, you don't have to worry about being identified by any ghost, let alone the level of equipment restraint, Wen Qu has been salivating for a long time, but the previous cultivation was not enough, failed to practice, and now with the strength of the power to promote, the Yin ghost change is only one foot away from the door, and a little observation of ghosts is needed......
Sitting still, Wen Quai's eyes couldn't help but scan, not only examining the life structure of several ghosts in front of him, but also looking back at this eternal night, hundreds of millions of ghosts gathered, noisy bazaar ghost town, Yudu.
Using the dragon fire cover to capture and kill the two ghost venerables, the little information from their memories is that this Xudu City, when he used the Dao sign brought by the resentful spirit, through the space, and entered the Nine Shadows, he first came to the ghost city, wanting to collect information and understand the situation.
In my past impression, if a place gathers more than a thousand resentful spirits, it will be miserable, the wind is gusting, the ghosts cry endlessly, turning the world into a cursed ghost domain, fierce and miserable, the living should not approach, if the number of ghosts gathers more, the situation will be even worse.
But here, although there is no sun and sunrise, only the eternal long night, but this city that gathers hundreds of millions of ghosts, but it is lively and jubilant, never stopping, ghosts come and go, shopping, shopping, inquiry, the sound of quarrels, resounded everywhere in the city, no matter when, there is always the sound of punching and drinking, accompanied by silk and bamboo, and the beauty sings softly...... Even if it is a metropolis on earth, you can't see such a prosperous scene.
The Ghost Market is a bazaar-type capital, with countless stalls and storefronts filled with countless ghost merchants selling goods, and buyers far outnumbering them, flocking from all over the ghost world to buy everything they need. There's pretty much everything you're looking for, and if you can find it patiently, or pay for it, it's an incredible miracle......
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that on the barren underworld, such a sleepless city could be opened up, or a place full of ghost clans, although the nature is somewhat similar to the godless shop, but the scale of the two is far from comparable.
This is not only because the area of the ghost city is more than 1,000 times larger than that of the godless shop, but also from the congenital, the two sides can not be compared at all, the city is a "three-dimensional" city, starting from the bottomless underground depths, all the buildings are vertical one layer, and then one horizontal layer, and there is another vertical layer above.
The spire of the house on the lower floor, touching the side wall of the upper floor, overlapping horizontally and vertically, layer by layer, straight into the invisible sky, infinite ghosts are like duckweed, in and out of this towering city, from the depths of the earth to the sky, infinite ghosts, flying back and forth.
If Wen Quzhi watched this scene before, he could only sigh that the ecology and business model of the ghost world were really unexpected, but at this moment, he was paying more attention to the basic laws that make up this space.
What kind of distortion of the laws allows this place to construct such an inverted city? What is the difference between the space of the ghost world and the human world? Is the huge difference between the ghost race and other life forms related to these innate environments?
Observing these is an important key to his next improvement, Wen Quzhi was thinking about these, but he heard several ghosts next to him exclaim in unison, and when he looked sideways, the old blind man who had just supported his chin with his skull arm and told the ghosts what the newcomers should know, suddenly disappeared, and gradually turned into ashes under the wind blowing, and finally became a large piece of black sand, scattered into the air, and returned in the blink of an eye.
...... This is one of the ends of the ghost clan, a certain year and a certain month, vanished.
Wen Quzhi got up without saying a word, and nodded in the direction of the old blind man's dissipation.
...... Congratulations, that's ...... Are you relieved?
