92, the ghost gate is closed
The world in which people live is the yang world.
The world to which people go after death is the underworld.
All things are negative yin and embrace yang.
The world of the underworld is no less than the world of the yang, and the underworld here is the end of the heavens and all worlds, whether it is demons, gods, Buddhas, spirits, and spirits, all spirits will come to the world of the underworld after death.
Ji Madness said that in addition to the Chaos Realm, whether it is the upper realm or the human world, there are countless complete worlds composed of one yang and one yin.
The first stop in the underworld is the Land Temple or the City God Temple, but in fact, the Land Temple or the City God Temple are only built in the middle netherworld, which is the place where yin and yang intersect, and even the living can freely come and go through some special means.
But the underworld is completely different, this is the real world of death, and there is yin and death everywhere. Even if a monk wants to go to the underworld, he can only do so by smuggling, and if he delays for too long, he may be eroded by the yin qi and death qi, so that the spirit body will be transformed into a dead spirit, and he will never return to the physical body.
Fang Ping has the Yin Yang Jade Pendant to protect his body, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about this, on the contrary, when the Yin Yang Jade Pendant reaches the Netherworld, he has a kind of pleasure like a fish in water, frantically absorbing the rich Yin Qi of the Netherworld to help him practice.
He had discovered this in the Nether Realm before, so it seems that this Yin Yang Jade Pendant may really come from the Netherworld?
Without thinking much about it, Ji Luna pulled him to float quickly in the white mist formed by the condensation of yin qi, and after a while, he saw a pitch-black field connected to the Netherworld, and then the endless Netherland.
This majestic trend is a huge mountain range in the underworld, this mountain range is endless, vertical and horizontal, stretching endlessly.
Ji Luo said that this Taozhi Mountain is one of the eight pillars that support the entire Netherworld, and it is also a natural barrier for the Netherworld.
Even if he is a great supernatural power, he can't cross the Taozhi Mountain and enter the underworld, so he can only pass through the mountain pass honestly.
And at the only mountain pass, there is a tall and vicissitudes of the city tower, Fang Ping only glanced at it, and knew that this is the legendary ghost gate!
He was no stranger to it, for he had seen it countless times in his dreams.
Those previous nightmares, this place often comes up.
Now in front of the ghost gate, Fang Ping inexplicably felt a burst of familiarity and cordiality.
"In the history of the underworld, Taozhi Mountain is located in the extreme east of the underworld, and is called the first mountain in the eastern yin. The Eastern Ghost Emperor Yu Lei and Shen Tu had both practiced in this mountain, and after they disappeared 10,000 years ago, the Eastern Yin Ghost Kingdom was also deserted. ”
Under the guidance of Ji Lu, Fang Ping looked at the Ghost Gate Pass, and on the left and right of the tall city tower of the ancient vicissitudes of life, there were two huge stone statues, which were dressed in bronze battle armor on the left, with a majestic face, a martial posture, and a long war halberd in his hand; On his right hand, he was dressed in a black robe, his expression looked leisurely, and there were no divine weapons or sharp weapons in his hands, but he just stretched out a palm and caressed the huge white tiger sitting beside him.
The two stone statues were obscured by the black mist, and they appeared and disappeared, except for the ghost door in between, which was lit with a cyan point of light, which was a lantern of the Yin Division.
The Ghost Gate Pass is a mandatory checkpoint to enter the Ghost Country. Whoever comes here must be checked to see if they have a ghost country pass - Lu Yin.
When I got closer, there were all kinds of ghosts standing in front of the city gate, including bull-headed and horse-faced ones, headless and multi-headed, and Yaksha Rakshasas, and there were at least eighteen different kinds of ghosts and monsters.
Ji Luo whispered: "These eighteen kinds of ghosts and monsters are the little ghosts under the command of the eighteen ghost kings of the Ghost Gate Pass, and the eighteen ghost kings were also the cadres of the Dongyin Ghost Country, but since the disappearance of the Eastern Ghost Emperor, these eighteen ghost kings have also gone their separate ways." ”
Fang Ping nodded, only to see a long queue in front of the Ghost Gate, those white shirts and gray shadows were all dead souls who had just died, only after being inspected by the ghost gate pass, they could pass through the ghost gate, and only after entering the ghost gate pass, could they change from dead souls to real ghosts.
The pass road was already ready, and with a flash of golden light in his hand, he handed a yellow talisman to Fang Ping.
Fang Ping picked it up and took a look, only to see that this yellow paper with a length of three feet and a width of two feet was printed with "Send a guide to the Emperor Yama, the son of heaven in Xudu" and "People in the world must have this introduction before they can go to Fengdu Difu to be reincarnated and ascend to heaven", and it was also stamped with three seals: "Lord Yama", "Lord Chenghuang", and "Lord of Xudu County".
After a person dies, he burns it, and the soul of the dead takes it to the ghost gate, and only after checking that it is correct, can he enter the gate.
There is also a method of forging a path in the secret method of Yin Mountain, but Fang Ping has not had the need to enter the underworld before, so he has never used it.
The two of them lined up with a road guide, and when the little ghost at the door was checking, Fang Ping was still a little nervous in his heart, but the bull-headed little ghost just glanced at it lightly, and asked him to hurry in.
It seems that not only the yang world, but also the rulers of this underworld are also very corrupt.
There are three towers in this ghost gate, and one is higher than the other, and the first ladder is a hall of impermanence. There are three statues of impermanence, impermanence and the king of Baoshan.
Black and white impermanence is the difference between catching the dead soul in the underworld, and there are many stories of impermanence circulating in the old days. The king of Baoshan is the mountain god who is in charge of the fierce beasts in the mountains and protects the safety of people and animals.
Fang Ping glanced at the tall black and white statue, only to feel that the statue was vivid, and the mud eyes seemed to be staring at him all the time. Feeling something strange in his heart, he quickened his pace and walked out quickly.
On the second ladder, there is a door pavilion of "Yin Cao Difu", a monument outside the tree on the right side, and there are four big characters in the official book "this Hades is also".
On both sides of the door, the eighteen images of the ghost king are hideous and weird, lifelike, which makes people feel eerie and terrifying.
These eighteen ghost kings are similar to those little ghosts outside, which is what Ji Du said, the eighteen ghost kings who were originally in charge of the ghost gate.
According to Ji Lu, this ghost king realm is probably equivalent to the monk's Yuan Infant realm, which is already a rare existence among ghosts. Take the previous Chenghuang as an example, it was just a Yin God, two steps away from the Ghost King.
The soul of the person who just died is a gray shadow or a white shirt, and Fang Ping doesn't quite understand the difference between the two. But the Yin Soul of this level has just passed through the Netherworld, and ordinary martial artists can suppress it with their murderous and masculine aura, so there is no need to worry about it.
This ghost has entered the ghost gate, and he refuses to die, and in the long run, he will become a black shadow, that is, an old ghost, and naturally the older he gets, the stronger his strength becomes.
And the spirit ghost, which is higher than the old ghost, is a ghost who knows how to practice. They absorb yin qi for cultivation and make the soul more condensed, and there are countless methods among them, both good and evil, and so on. Those who rely on harming people to absorb the essence of the living are powerful ghosts, and Qiurong's kind of good ghosts rely on merit to practice.
The spirits and ghosts have cultivated into the Yin God, that is, the minor gods of the underworld, and have hung a mark in the underworld, and can already serve as the City God or other Yin Division.
If the yin god goes up, he will become an immortal in the underworld, which is the so-called ghost immortal. This is also the highest state that most ghosts aspire to. Once he became a ghost immortal, he also jumped out of the six reincarnations and got at ease.
The ghost fairy is further up, and he is the ghost king. For example, the king of the ten halls of Yama, that is, the king of ghosts.
In this way, it can be seen that the eighteen ghost kings under the throne of the Eastern Ghost Emperor of Taozhi Mountain are enough to be compared with the ten kings of the Yama Palace, and the number is almost doubled.
It can be imagined how magnificent it was when the Dongyin Ghost Kingdom was at its peak.
It's a pity that everything is in the past, and what was once one of the five ghost kingdoms of the underworld has now become a watchdog in the underworld.
When I came to the third ladder, there was a hanging mountain road in front of me, and the yellow mist on both sides of the mountain road was shrouded, and I felt hot all over my body as soon as I approached here.
"Down here, it's Yellow Spring."
"This road is the legendary Huangquan Road!"
Ji Yan introduced to Fang Ping and stepped forward.
