Chapter 17: The Yin and Yang Realm
One day, the cat master drove his Honda fighter jet to the office to see if his two minions were still alive. He got out of the car, didn't even pull out the key, and went straight to the door of the second floor through the fire staircase.
After opening the door, the scene was a little wrong, because Wang Xu and Elbert did not staggered to find a place to paralyze, but sat upright with blazing eyes. The expression of a people's congress deputy and a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) holding a tea party.
"I'm waiting for you." Wang Xu said.
The cat master raised his eyes, quickly scanned the entire room with his eyes, then cautiously looked at the top of his head, and then gently pushed open the carpet at the door with his toes, and after confirming that there were no formation traps or iron buckets full of, he spoke: "It seems...... You want to talk to me about the beneficiary of the accidental death insurance......
Wang Xu said: "I don't know what you're talking about...... But since you brought it up yourself, we can talk about that ...... after we're done talking about it."
"Cut...... That's not what happened. The cat master walked in, took the door casually, sat down opposite them, picked up the coffee table and poured the remaining half can of coffee into his mouth, "What's the cost of that?" ”
"I just want to ask you, how can I go to the Brilliant Heavenly City of the Yin and Yang Realm." Wang Xu said.
Because a large amount of fluid was suddenly choked into his lungs, when the cat master coughed wildly from the near-death struggle and then relieved himself, he gasped and replied, "Are you going to die?" ”
"No, I'm going to find someone." Wang Xu's expression was still very serious and serious.
"Oh? Looking for someone in Huangtian City? The cat master understood almost instantly: "So, Shang Lingxue is now in Huangtian City?" ”
"You already knew?"
"Hmph...... I've been speculating on that possibility for a long time, but it's impossible to confirm it. But now that you have sworn that you are going there to find someone, the conclusion is obvious, you must have learned about Shang Lingxue's location through some channel. Besides, is there a second person you're looking for? ”
"It's good to understand, so you don't have to persuade me, you don't have to say anything about looking for death, or what is going and not returning, nine deaths and one life. I must go too! ”
The cat master turned his head to look at Elbert: "Let me guess, Wang Xu also invited you to go with him, right?" ”
Elbert nodded, "Even if he doesn't call me, I personally want to help him." The last time I went to deal with the Soulless Incident, I wasn't strong enough, and you had to downsize your staff, so I had to stay here. But this time, I think multiple people can increase some combat power to some extent. ”
The cat master sneered: "Ignorance, ignorance is really a terrifying thing." ”
Wang Xu said: "Then, please tell us everything you know." ”
The cat master sighed: "Okay, but before I say that, I have to state one thing." He also put away his decadent expression, "This time, I'm not going." ”
Wang Xu said: "Even if you want to go this time, I won't let you go." ”
"Hmph...... Okay, then I'll get started. He got up, took a pen and paper from his desk, and began to draw as he spoke, "Ghost hunters, call the world we are in now, that is, the earth in the general sense, the human realm. Its total area ...... Your junior high school geography teacher should have already taught you (well, I forgot, and I didn't bother to look it up).
Let's talk about the Yin and Yang realm, it is said that this space first appeared in the late Qin Dynasty, and it is impossible to verify the specific year. And its shape, to use an analogy, resembles a poached egg. He really drew something similar on paper: "The place where the egg yolk is about the same size as the combined area of Eurasia, and 99% of the 'spirits' in the yin and yang realm are active in this range."
As for the place of egg whites, no one ...... Oh, or rather, no ghost can get there, it's a barren desert where once you enter it, your soul is drained by a strange energy. According to legend, this desert that surrounds the entire Yin and Yang Realm has an end, and at the end, it is just a distorted void of nothing.
I know you must be asking, since no one has ever been, how can there be a legend, right? In fact, this information came from the mouth of the 'Ghost King', and it was announced by his old man himself many years ago, so we can basically be sure that the Ghost King must have been there, and only the Ghost King's level, or a guy similar to him, can go there and guarantee that he will not be killed. ”
The cat master took a sip of coffee and said, "Come again, the flow of time...... The date there is actually the same as the mortal world, always walking on the same time axis, but after entering, it is basically difficult for you to perceive the passage of time, because there is always the sun and moon in the sky there, there is no wind and clouds, rain and snow, and there is no temperature change, if there is a weather forecast there, the climate and temperature of each place in the yin and yang world are the same every day.
Let's talk about the problem of survival, that is, the problem of eating after you go there. Entering the Yin and Yang Realm, in fact, it is not only ghosts, but also other things, some demons and monsters that you have only read about in ancient books, as long as they reach a certain level, as long as they have a further thirst for spiritual power, they will be attracted to the Yin and Yang Realm.
Ghosts are ghosts after all, and even if they reshape their bodies with the unity of the spirit body, they can still ignore all their physical needs, and all they have to do every day is to absorb the aura. But those demons sometimes need food. Naturally, it is impossible for them to develop any agriculture there, and the climatic conditions do not allow it, so the only things they can eat are the beasts and a few strange plants unique to the Yin and Yang Realm.
If you want to survive there, there are three ways: first, bring yourself enough dry food, which can be used at least until the day you return to the human realm; Second, make a deal with the ghosts or marginal people there, which is the easiest, as long as you bring enough ghost coins; Third, like the demons I just mentioned, try to hunt the beasts and plants in the Yin and Yang Realm. ”
"These miscellaneous matters are not a critical issue, you should talk about Moling." Wang Xu said.
Master Mao glared at him: "Miscellaneous things? Hum...... I'm telling you, but it's all about life, don't think it's easy to have a meal there. Man is a fragile and troublesome creature, without food, he will naturally die, and without money, you will have no food. And hunting in the Yin and Yang Realm...... Sometimes it's even more difficult than dealing with spirit-powered ghosts. ”
Wang Xu said: "I know, I know, I'll bring more ghost coins." ”
So the cat master continued to draw on the paper: "In the Yin and Yang Realm, except for the Ghost King, there are three major forces, namely the 'Ghost Generals' we have dealt with before, and the 'Moling' under the leadership of your Ling Xue; and...... The 'Tianxiao Kunlun' led by Qi Keying, who is known as the 'overlord'.
Ghosts that can enter the Yin and Yang Realm, even if they don't have spiritual abilities, should belong to the more powerful existence of unjust ghosts. To meet these two conditions, there are only a few situations, and the most common one is that the resentment and obsession left behind in life are very strong.
From the time these souls entered the Yin and Yang Realm to the time when they gradually grew into a strong man, their enemies and relatives in the human realm were basically gone, and even their own memories of the previous life had long since been forgotten. So in the end, all they left behind was hatred and persistence.
To sum up, even though the backgrounds, founders, and foundations of the major forces in the Yin and Yang Realm are all different, their ultimate goal is the same - to reign in the human realm. ”
"That's the so-called revenge society, right?" Elbert asked.
"It's okay if you understand that, huh...... Let's talk about the ghost king, he's a character with mud, first of all, his strength is undoubted, he is like a god in that realm, the strongest existence that no one can beat, and it is also recognized.
But he was not a ruler, he never forced others to submit to his words or actions, as if he were a bystander, an outsider. Coupled with his bottomless strength, no one will take the initiative to provoke him, whether it is a ghost, a ghost hunter, or a marginal person. Of course, he won't mess with you.
However, I have heard Yu An's old fox mention that in fact, the ghost king is on a 'mission', and the formation of the three major forces seems to be inseparable from his behind-the-scenes efforts, and he is also maintaining some kind of 'balance' that we don't know. ”
Wang Xu said: "Don't introduce more soy sauce guys, say something I can meet." ”
Master Mao shrugged and said: "Judging from the distribution of the geographical boundaries, the territory occupied by the three major forces is about the same, and there are still many small forces in the neutral area mixed in. Since the place is really quite large, the density of ghosts is not as high as the population density of our human world, and the places where no one has set foot actually account for the largest part, and there are some sinister things in it, I'm afraid no one knows.
And the Huangtian City you are going to is at the very center of Moling's sphere of influence, and is known as the strongest wall in the Yin and Yang Realm. During the Demon Summoning Array incident, the ghost generals took advantage of Moling's lack of strength and tried to capture it in one fell swoop, but in the end they still failed to attack the city, and only gained some advantage in the battle outside the city. When Qiu Wu rushed back, they took it as soon as they saw it, and quickly withdrew to their territory. ”
Mao Ye drew a few more strokes on the sketch: "From the human realm to the safe boundary gate there, they all exist in a neutral area or no man's land, and the location is not too accurate, I estimate that after you arrive in the Yin and Yang Realm, you can probably be here at most." He nodded with his pen: "From here to Huangtian City, even if there is no obstacle on the road, it will take ten and a half days to pull the moon."
Let's be optimistic, even if you really get to the Huangtian City, do you have any plans? Are you going to stand at the base of the city wall and shout, 'Wife, come home with me for dinner'? ”
Wang Xu said: "You don't care about this, tell me, how can I find and pass through the boundary gate?" ”
The cat master put down the pen: "What's going on...... If you're in a hurry, let's find a place tonight, make an appointment, and I'll find an expert to help, as long as she's willing to help you, it's okay to say anything. ”
