Chapter 1: The Ghost Town of Fengdu

The following is the text of the novel (Author: Vita Lemon Tea) provided for you, please enjoy!

"Hundred Ghosts" mentions that Long Daoling led the hundred ghosts to rescue Rosa, who was trapped in the tenth layer of hell, but to enter the underworld and hell, they had to enter the ghost world, and the location of the ghost world was the ghost city of Fengdu, so they were on their way here.

The legendary ghost town is thousands of years old and full of mysteries, but this is a gathering place for ghosts, but does it exist in reality? The answer is yes!

Long Daoling also did a data investigation on the destination and some details inside.

The ghost town of Fengdu in the present world is a very famous place, why do you say that? Fengdu Ghost Town, formerly known as Yudu Ghost Town, is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Fengdu County, downstream of XX City in China, and is a tourist attraction for cruise passengers on the Yangtze River and one of the famous tourist attractions.

Fengdu ghost town has unique scenic spots and rich connotations, including national key scenic spots, scenic spots and historic sites and mountains in the Three Gorges Scenic Area of the Yangtze River, and the largest ghost and god dynamic cultural landscape in China. There are the national forest park Shuanggui Mountain, as well as the world's largest ghost king stone carvings, the largest and largest number of Han tombs in China, the thrilling dragon river drifting, and the beautiful scenery of Siping low-altitude forest park leisure vacation.

The ghost city of Fengdu is also known as the "hidden capital" and "the hometown of the Divine Comedy". The ghost town is famous for its various underworld buildings and shapes. In the ghost city, there are many buildings that express the underworld, such as the Huha Temple, the Temple of the Son of Heaven, the Naihe Bridge, the Huangquan Road, the Wangxiang Terrace, and the Yaowang Palace.

Every year on the third day of the third lunar month, the "ghost city temple fair", the vehicles and boats are full, and the tourists are weaving: "the son of the cloudy day marries", "the city god goes out to patrol", "Zhong Kui marries the sister", "the ghost country music and dance" and other folk customs parade performances, surprising and funny, dizzying, breathtaking.

Of course, this is the tourist facilities built by people in the later period, and the modern Fengdu "ghost town" is the "underworld mansion" built by people with imagination, and a series of underworld institutions such as "Hades Palace", "Ghost Gate Pass", "Yin and Yang Realm", and "Ten Layers of Hell" have been built according to the legal mechanism recorded in legends.

The images of ghosts and gods in each level are varied and strange. The torture instruments are terrifying and chilling. So it's not a real ghost town, but the legend must have a reason, the real ghost town entrance is also near here, but ordinary people can't see it, Fengdu ghost city has a history of thousands of years, legend has it that this is the world of ghosts, and the underworld is also in it.

Now it is also rumored that if people inadvertently approach the area of the ghost town, I don't know if it is a psychological effect or other reasons, and unconsciously there will be a deep feeling of yin, which is creepy.

According to the "Fengdu County Chronicles" and the Jin Ge Hong's "Legend of the Immortals": the folk legend of the clouds, the Han Dynasty Wang Fangping, Yin Changsheng and the two Fangshi had cultivated in Pingdu Mountain to become immortals, and the Taoists set up a heavenly master in this mountain, and listed it as one of the "36 caves of heaven and 72 blessed lands".

Later generations attached the "Yin and Wang" as the "Yin King" (the king of the underworld), and the residence was the "ghost capital". Pingdu Mountain is also gradually attached to the "Yin Capital". Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "Laughing at the sergeant of the world, sinking the soul of Beifengdu", which made the name of the ghost city far and wide. After the rendering of the novels of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is more mysterious and grotesque.

The ghost city imitates the judicial system of the yang world, creating a hierarchical and strict "underworld" that integrates the functions of arrest, detention, trial, judgment, and education in one furnace to punish those who committed adultery and criminals before their deaths. Although the little ghost of the Hades judge is only a legend, it is praised for its social and educational function of punishing evil and promoting good.

According to the above records, it is known that the underworld is equivalent to the government department of the human world, and the ghost city is the metropolis of the human world, and the underworld manages all the order and ghosts of the ghost city. However, this is indeed the case, and the master of the underworld is the Fengdu Emperor, and the Ten Palaces of Yama is the incarnation of the Fengdu Emperor.

The cause of this incident is mainly that the underworld suppresses the power of the Rakshasa demons in the ghost world, and the Rakshasa ghosts are in the limelight, the so-called guns shoot the first bird, Rosa has become the target of this crackdown, after many searches and arrests, he was finally captured, and is now imprisoned in the ten layers of hell, preparing for a thousand years.

However, today's ghost towns are also following the local customs, keeping up with the pace of the times, and are no longer the ancient buildings that people imagined in ancient times, although some areas still retain the traditional style of the ancient times, but most of them are also more modern.

In addition to the mechanisms of the underworld, the ghosts in the ghost town are also divided into classes, and there are also gangster-like power groups in the world, the ghosts here are different from the ghosts in the world, they all live like people, there is no resentment, but the ability is high and low.

However, unless it is a high-level ghost here, it is difficult to divide the strength of the ghost here by level, and the living here are not close, only ghosts can step into, belonging to another world.

Speaking of the ghost town of Fengdu, here is an introduction to the famous "ghost market" in folklore

There are various versions of folk circulation, and people will occasionally see the so-called "disappearing market" that cannot be explained, and it is very wrong to say that it is a big mistake to say that it is a sea market, and the origin of one of the legends is:

In "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", it is recorded that Sun Yunian's son and his friends were drinking upstairs in the restaurant, and suddenly saw a lonely pagoda rising on the top of the mountain, high in the sky. At this time, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, surprised and puzzled, thinking that there is no Buddhist temple near here.

After a short time, I saw dozens of palaces, green tiles, and the ridges of the roofs were raised high, and not long after, there were high city walls, and the short walls on the city walls were concave and convex, stretching for six or seven miles, and they looked like a city.

There are buildings in the city, halls, and alleys, all of which are clearly presented in front of you, and they are calculated in billions. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the whole city became blurred.

After a while, the wind stopped, the sky cleared, and the previous scene was all gone, except for one tall building, which was connected to the clouds and the heavenly river, with five rooms on each floor, and the windows and doors were open, and there were five bright places, which were the sky outside the building.

Counting layer by layer, the higher the room, the smaller the bright spots; Counting to the first layer, the bright spot is only as small as a star; Further up, it becomes dim, as if there is nothing, and its layers cannot be seen clearly. People on the lower floors came and went, doing their own things, some leaning against the railing, some standing, in different postures.

After a while, the building gradually lowered and the roof could be seen; Gradually, it became the same as an ordinary building; Gradually, it became a high bungalow again; Suddenly, it shrank to the size of a fist, then to the size of a bean, and finally disappeared completely.

Since this legend began to spread, more and more people began to see it, and they don't know whether it is true or not, some people will see people's houses, markets and shops on the mountain, no different from the situation in the world, and over time, people call it "ghost market".

The ghost market is actually a market in a ghost town, where there are all kinds of shops, and ghosts do all kinds of business and trade, and it is very lively like the human world. Therefore, in ancient times, people would always use other methods to cover up the truth when they saw unexplained things, which brought a strong sense of mystery to the ghost town.

However, it is indeed very dangerous to be outside the ghost city, it is the junction between the human world and the ghost world, and there are a large number of lonely ghosts and ghosts here, all of whom are ghosts who cannot enter the ghost city, these ghosts are extremely resentful, like homeless people, they must obtain a pass if they want to enter, which is impossible, or they are recruited by some ghost forces inside to bring them in, which is the most common.

Legend has it that the thousand-year-old ghost city of Fengdu will have what kind of changes will occur after the arrival of the dragon spirit leading the hundred ghosts・・・・・

However, at this time, a group of ghosts with different images gathered in a conference hall in the underworld, and they held a monthly summary meeting to report on the matters under their jurisdiction, and to put it bluntly, they held a routine meeting.

It's basically the same as the human world, a conference table, a group of people sitting in two rows, one is in charge of presiding in the middle, and is holding a meeting to discuss things, and they are the famous generals of the underworld
