Chapter 165: The Legend of the Ghost Country
Linzi, the Great Qi Palace.
Even in the middle of the night, the old emperor still did not rest, wearing a dragon robe, and reading the folds in the imperial study.
The crown prince served on the side, serving tea, and the old emperor was able to rest for a short time.
He looked at the tea cup in front of him in a daze.
The tea in this is still the Shuzhong tea offered by Gu Qiangqing a few years ago, and he likes it very much.
Shaking his head, he shook off his useless thoughts, and the old emperor was about to bury his head in the sea of books again.
The crown prince felt a little sorry for the emperor's diligence.
"Father, take a break."
The old emperor shook his head.
"Things happen frequently in Jiange County, although it is generally stable now, but there are still Nanjun Hengshan movements, plagues, floods, foreign enemies in the north and south, and the Witch God Temple is also secretly making trouble, we have to hurry up and let Daqi settle down, and the ghost country may be in the past two years."
Although the old emperor is old, the crown prince is a young man.
He knew the problem of the old emperor's previous words, but he had never heard of the ghost country.
After all, the old emperor was old, and he was a little weak in correcting the recital, so he got up and left the dragon chair, intending to move his body, but the prince hurriedly followed.
The old emperor walked slowly in the luxurious palace, and said to the crown prince as he walked.
"The history of the ghost kingdom goes back more than 10,000 years, even earlier than the underworld."
"Since the ancient tribal times, the Terrans have been at war."
"There is an internal and external ......"
Where there is war, there is death.
At that time, it was still the wizard who was in charge, and the wizard liked the living sacrifice the most, and the souls of the dead at that time were more prosperous than now.
It can be said that the soul of the dead at that time can be called an independent race, the ghost race.
As the ghost clan grew stronger, it also gave birth to its own organization, and eventually, an extremely large country was formed-the ghost country.
The ghost kingdom occupies the south and is separated from the north and south of the human race.
The kings of the past dynasties, in addition to unifying and fighting against the demon race, are to wage war with the ghost country, fight for land and resources, and strive for the continuation of the human race and the survival of the human race.
But it's the land of ghosts, the land of the dead.
They are not afraid of death, and as long as there is war, there will be the dead.
Therefore, the stronger the ghost kingdom, the weaker the human race.
Later, the gods descended on the earth, making a living for the human race, opening up the underworld and guiding the souls of the dead.
As a result, the population replenishment of the ghost country has dropped significantly.
But the ghost country is too strong and the accumulation is too deep, and there are many former Terran leaders or celebrities during it.
They refuse to enter the underworld.
The divine power of the earth is in the underworld to maintain the newborn, and there is no way to take them for a while.
Eventually, the earth god is not strong enough and is about to fall asleep.
Before she fell asleep, she set a seal, and the ghost kingdom was independent of the human world.
The name of the ghost country has also become taboo, and if you can't mention it, you won't mention it.
The Confucian seal in Jianmen Pass is borrowed from Houtu's seal on the ghost country.
Since then, the south has been determined, and there are many feudal princes such as Ba, Shu, and Chu.
But some witch gods are still close to the ghost country, after all, the dead also have faith, and the faith of the dead is sometimes purer.
Therefore, the troubles in the south have been continuous, first there is Bashu, then there is Wu Yue, and there is a Chu State that is opening up territory.
Finally, after countless calculations, the seal of the ghost kingdom opened a gap.
"Every Jiazi, the human race will make a truce and unite to attack the south, nominally, it is to crusade against the Chu State that is not subordinate, but in fact, it is everyone to crusade against the ghost country together."
The old emperor walked out of the imperial study with the prince, looked at the faint moonlight in the sky, and said to the prince.
"But now, there is no king in this world, the human race, only me, the supreme."
"Then it should be up to me to command the human race and crusade against the ghost country."
"You will inherit this position in the future, and you will have to have this burden."
The prince remembers that in the past 10,000 years, the human race has gradually grown under the attack of the demon race and the ghost race, and under the leadership of the human kings of the past generations.
His mood began to stir up.
The future of the human race should be borne by me.
The prince arched his hand and said, "Only." ”
Although the prince is young, after his enthusiasm, he found some problems.
The Terrans were the first to be guided by wizards, although the witch gods treated the ghosts and the Terrans equally.
But it is impossible for all wizards to have their hearts set on the dead.
Later, a hundred schools of thought contended, Taoism stood out, the gods were reincarnated, and there were always saints in the world.
Especially now that Daqi has two sages, Confucianism and Taoism.
Why hasn't the ghost country been completely swept away?
He wanted to ask again, but the old emperor had already returned to the room and began to review the recitals again.
Actually, there are limits to ghost countries.
The space of the ghost kingdom is even stronger than the limitations of the human realm.
Here, ghosts and immortals are not allowed to enter and exit, and Mahayana is not allowed to enter and exit.
Therefore, although there is transcendence in the world, the ghost clan can still survive and try to capture some high-quality souls through the appearance of a single Jiazi.
The old emperor did not tell the little prince.
The ghost country has actually appeared.
The witch god's plan, although it is deflated everywhere, is still not that simple.
The two saints in the world are running around, not just looking at the clouds and visiting relatives.
……
Daqinan County, the territory of the former Chu State, on the sheep intestine trail outside the Jianmen Pass.
Kong Han'an leaned on the back of a sturdy black bull, led a fierce dog, and dozed off gracefully.
Qing and Li You followed by their side, like housekeepers and bodyguards when the noble son went out.
It's Li You, the housekeeper, who has been wiping his sweat.
Qing, the bodyguard, occasionally trembled twice.
This sheep's intestine path, I don't know when the fog was filled, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Li You accompanied him and said with a smile, "Fujun, why do you want me to accompany me, I can earn money for you outside." ”
Li You was not afraid of death, although he was so worried about entering the ghost country.
He was mainly worried about his daughter-in-law.
Although it is said that the prince of the house asked Kuroko to help take care of it before.
But Li You always felt that there was something wrong with Fu Jun's words at that time.
"Your wife, raised by the sunspot, you have no worries."
This sounds fine, but it always feels weird.
Kong Han'an seemed to be asleep and turned over on the back of a sturdy cow.
The fierce dog on the side grinned and spat out.
"Fujun is asleep, don't disturb him, our Fujun, kill people in a good dream."
Qing pursed her lips disdainfully.
"Is it a Mahayana consummation and needs to sleep? Will you kill people in your dreams? Fool whom? ”
Lao Niu was unaware of Qing's provocation, and seemed to be wandering into the world, not knowing what he was thinking.
Gou Qi grinned again, "Be honest, be careful that the prince of the palace does not give you the antidote to the Solipsist Pill." ”
Qing sighed softly.
"That thing is a fool, we zombies are invincible, and we still care about your Rausch mess?"
But he was honest.
Qing's sturdy body was shrouded in a black robe.
Inside the black robe, there are chains of soul hooks, and they are covered with various charms.
This spell was developed by Woodcutter Ba in the underworld, with Lei Tianyou, Liu Sheng and other ghost cultivators, combined with the wizard cheats on Luo Yu Mountain.
Its effect can be borrowed from some of the power of the Yin Division's captains.
Although the effect is not very good, it is better than the quantity.
At this moment, Fei Zhenqing is equivalent to being secretly suppressed by the captains of the Netherworld.
Coupled with the chains, he can't be honest if he wants to.
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and Li You couldn't help but get closer to the black bull.
"Fufu...... Jun, it's so cold around here! ”
Fei Zhenqing was also surprised.
"Strange, can you really come in?"
Kong Han'an finally "woke up", he stretched his waist and looked around.
Under the yin and yang, the fog is all yin and evil, and not far ahead, a long line has formed.
Kong Han'an's eyesight was excellent, and he saw Yang Jian, Yang Shen and other monks at a glance.
As if unconscious, they followed the crowd as they slowly moved forward.
