Chapter 363: The Land of Ghosts

The Void Belly Ghost King didn't stay here for long, and soon left with a group of minions around him.

It wasn't until after their figures entered the city that the surrounding ghost soldiers and ghost people straightened up one after another.

The silly soul cried and said, "It's time to raise taxes." ”

"Since the news of the advent of the end of the law era, the old men over there have raised taxes several times in a row, and many people have to wander in the wilderness because they can't afford to pay taxes."

"Lord Corpse, the lonely ghosts don't live long in the wilderness, and they want everyone to die."

I said, "No one will resist?" ”

Before the stupid soul could speak, I suddenly understood.

It is not the same as Yangshi.

People in the Yang world have been oppressed for a long time, and they will use knives to overthrow the decaying dynasty. There have been countless peasant uprisings in history.

Anyway, everyone is two arms and two legs, even if it is difficult to rebel, but after all, there is a success rate.

But it's different here.

There is no science here, and the revenants can't even use normal swords, let alone guns.

If you want to rebel, you can only fight with your spirit.

But in terms of soul strength, who has beaten those high-ranking old men?

The success rate of the rebellion in Xudu is simply extremely low.

Unless they are led by a revenant who is extremely strong and able to unite people's hearts.

Otherwise, everyone can only be obediently oppressed, bullied, and treated like cattle and horses.

The silly soul only complained a few words, and was ready to take me into the city.

According to him, in order to approach the retrograde passage, one must come into contact with the souls of the dead who are begging for a living there.

Only they know the exact location of the retrograde channel.

I walked slowly behind the silly soul, my eyes glancing around.

This is the first time I've come to the dungeon under the jurisdiction of the capital, and I used to hear the boss say that the underground world has a cave, and there are many ghost merchants who specialize in the business of the yin and yang worlds, and they will try their best to enter here through various channels.

In the past, Yu Bushun tried to open up the trade routes of Xudu several times, but failed several times.

Being able to do business in the underworld is really not something that ordinary people can do.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard someone behind him shouting, "Zombies in front!" Stop! ”

When I looked back, I saw two zombies jumping up and down.

The level of these two zombies is quite high, at least they still retain a relatively intact spirit, but I don't know how much memory they have from their previous years.

It is said that when the corpse clan is reborn, most of the memories of life will dissipate, and the souls born in the corpse are completely two extremes from those before death.

The Queen of Secret Hearts is a prime example of this.

One of the zombies said with surprise in his tone: "Friend! Are you new here? ”

My heart moved, and I said, "How? ”

The zombie hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, friend! ”

"As you just heard, all kinds of taxes in the city are three times as much."

"I'm thinking, life in Yin Yang City is getting harder and harder now, it's not a good idea for you to come here now."

I sneered, "It's already thankful that the River Styx can bring me here, instead of rushing into the endless black abyss, let's be zombies, can we still have the luxury of choosing ourselves?" ”

The zombie smiled: "There are some things we can't choose, but there are some things that we can really choose." ”

"Friend, I have a way to live, I don't know if you want to do it together!"

I didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in these two zombie gourds, so I couldn't help but say, "What? ”

The zombie glanced at the stupid soul and said, "Friend, we are all in the same vein as the corpse clan, and zombies and zombies are friends." The ghost beside him, did he let him avoid it? ”

I was worried about being fooled by these two zombies, and said lightly: "This is my friend, a very good friend." If there's anything, just say it. If it's okay, I'll leave with my friends. ”

With that, I turned around and was about to leave.

The two zombies were really anxious, and the other said in a deep voice: "Slow! ”

"Since it's your friend, it doesn't matter if he listens."

"That's right, isn't the end of the Dharma era coming soon? Yudu formed the Ten Hall Ghost Soldiers, with 300,000 ghost soldiers, ready to invade the Yang World. ”

"In order to feed these 300,000 ghost soldiers, the Ten Palaces Yan Jun has raised various taxes several times in a row, making everyone miserable."

"I'm thinking, staying here in Xudu will be a death sooner or later, it's better to go out and break through and find a way to live!"

I sneered, "Although the underground world is vast, there are very few places to live. ”

"If you want to go out and break in, you have to be prepared not to go back to the city! It's going to be gone! ”

The zombie's eyes flashed green, and he whispered, "Friend, have you ever heard of the Ghost Country?" ”

When I saw him get to the point, I immediately lifted my spirits and said, "I haven't heard of it!" ”

The zombie laughed and said, "Then do you know the ancestor of ghosts?" ”

When I heard this, I was horrified. How can I not know the Ancestor of Demons?

It is rumored that the first ghost appeared in the world, and it was also the first living form to exist in a soul state.

It was he who pioneered a unique way of life and proved that the soul can survive after it is separated from the body.

Without the ancestor of ghosts, Hua Biaogui, I don't know how many years the birth time of the souls will be delayed.

Not to mention anything else, the Fierce Ghost Incarnation Banner left by the Ancestor of Demons is in the package behind me!

Could it be that the ancestor of the ghost is alive?

Ever since I met the Venerable Master of Light on the train who had lived from the Xuanhan period to the present day, I had been wary of this legendary existence.

Maybe at some point a guy who has lived for thousands of years will pop up.

The zombie said, "The Oni Country is an emerging kingdom located in a large underground space near the Uncursed Road. ”

"They worship the ancestor of ghosts, and believe that the living and the dead are in fact the same line, and that there should be no war between the capital and Middle-earth. So they refused to join the capital and refused to fight Middle-earth. ”

"And trying to establish a mutual trade bazaar with Middle-earth, so that the country of ghosts can develop for a long time."

"Of course, all this is no different from ours, but in order to attract talents, the country of ghosts has canceled a lot of taxes that should be paid to the capital, and invited ghosts, zombies, and spirits to become the people of the country of ghosts."

"They even invited the living people of Middle-earth to live here and keep them safe."

……

When I heard this, I was shocked.

Isn't this the so-called universal harmony?

There are very few people who can clearly recognize this and do their best to promote peace!

Who is so capable of building a ghost kingdom under the nose of Xudu?

This is definitely an amazing person!

I asked, "Who is the lord of the country of demons?" ”

The zombie said, "How do I know? All I know is that there are no taxes in the city, and anyone can live in the city. ”

"Even the Lord of the Ghost Country promised to keep everyone safe."

"Brother, you and I are both corpses, that's why I'm looking for you, if you have no opinion, let's go out of the city together, maybe we can find the country of ghosts?"

"There is power in numbers, isn't it?"

Seriously, I was a little tempted at that moment.

Such a magical country, a magical lord, I really want to see what kind of person it is.

What's more, they worship the ancestor of ghosts, Hua Biaogui, and they can't be interested in the fierce ghost descending flag on my body.

So I asked, "Where is the country of ghosts?" ”

The zombie grinned, as if wryly, "I don't know. ”

"I just know that it's in an underground space near the Unspelled Road, if we want to go, we can only try our luck!"

Well, you're not talking to me, are you?

I don't know the location, and I don't have anyone to pick it up.

Running to the uncursed road in a daze, what's the difference between looking for death?

If you get close to the territory of the believers and provoke the old gods, you don't know how to die.

What's more, this place is not known how many kilometers away from the Uncursed Road, and the underground world is not as developed as the Yangshi Traffic, so it is really going to pass, and the Year of the Monkey is gone.

If you have this time, it is better to find a way to return to the Yang World, and then reach the Pamir Plateau through the Yang World, and then enter the Uncursed Road from the Pamir Plateau.

At that moment, I refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, the curseless road is too risky, the road is too far, and I don't want to risk it." ”

The zombie was still persuading: "Friend, you just came to Yin Yang City, and I don't know how black-hearted the Void-bellied Ghost King is." ”

"Originally, when I entered the city, I only needed one piece of black crystal a day, but then it rose to two yuan a day, and then it rose to four yuan a day!"

"You also heard it just now, and you want to triple on top of that! That's twelve black crystals a day, or the rest of the equivalent. ”

"Everyone can see that if you continue to stay in Yin Yang City, you will be waiting for death."

I said, "Aren't you considering going to the Yang World?" As far as I know, there is a retrograde passage nearby......"

Before I finished speaking, the expressions of the two zombies suddenly became frightened: "Brother! Don't die! ”

"Without the permission of the city lord, rashly approaching the retrograde passage is a rebellion! It will be refined into soul beads for others to eat! ”

"Besides, the Yang World is very dangerous, the group of killers in the Secret Bureau are specifically looking for demons and evil spirits to kill, and it is better to go to the Kingdom of Ghosts than to go to the Yang World!"

All right.

I'd like to drag you all back to the ground on the wrong side.

Look and scare you.

Maybe my words were too shocking, and I rejected the proposal of the two to go to the country of ghosts, and the two zombies didn't dare to entangle me too much, so they left in a hurry after saying a few words.

Before leaving, he also told me to wait at the Styx Gate if he changed his mind, and if they passed by, they would go with him.

After the two zombies left, I turned to the silly soul and said, "Have you heard of the land of ghosts?" ”

The silly soul nodded with envy on his face: "I've heard of it, but we don't dare to go." ”

"The uncursed path is too dangerous, and the demons of the eighteen layers of hell have recently rushed out of hell and wandered near the River Styx, without strength, they will be scattered."

I understand.

With the strength of a stupid soul, he can't leave this kind of settlement at all.

Unless you rely on a powerful revenant, you can take him out of Yin Yang City.

But I'm getting more and more interested in the founder of the Oni Country.

What kind of existence can spread the daimyo of the Oni Country to such a distant Yin and Yang City?
