Chapter 481: Dial the Soil
The bright moonlight shone down on the earth, and a horde of monstrous and terrifying ghosts burst out of the dim woods.
They flick their teeth and claws, and their mouths utter a mournful cry, constantly changing direction, as if searching for something.
Yu Yuan found that among them, there were men and women, young and old, and young people, and they looked like a very ordinary group of people, but they were covered in blood, and the fatal wounds and blood were constantly spraying out.
Their eyes were glazed and glazed, like a flock of lost lambs.
During the day, they were all alive, but now they are all lifeless spirits, wandering in search of something.
"Alas......"
Houtu Zuwu also saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"These are the undead of the Terran race who have been killed, and they have nowhere to go, so they can only wander around aimlessly, and eventually they will either be devoured by those monsters who cultivate evil laws, or they will turn into evil ghosts."
Yu Yuan frowned.
"Demons?"
Suddenly, there was a loud howl in the distance, like a cry, which made people panic.
Immediately afterward, many black shadows flew from afar.
One of the shadows fell directly into the woodland.
Yu Yuan keenly felt that the black shadow seemed to be connected to a huge black whirlpool, and several ghosts were swept into the whirlpool as soon as they pulled and pulled.
The black shadow was obviously a Terran, but it was extremely tall, and it was not a normal human at all.
At this time, Yu Yuan noticed that the face of this black shadow was stained with blood, and although he couldn't see his eyes, he opened his huge mouth and wantonly devoured those ghosts, whether they were men, women, children, or young and middle-aged, they were all swallowed by him in his stomach.
As he devoured it, there were fewer and fewer ghosts on the ground, until finally, they were all devoured by him.
Yu Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
But he didn't stop it.
Because he found that the devoured ghost had not disappeared, but had existed in the body of that dark shadow in a whole new way.
The shadow wasn't a monster, it was a demon!
It's a giant goblin made up of countless ghosts!
At this time, the moon had already reached the sky, and there were obviously many fewer ghosts in the Valley of Ghosts than before. In the distance, there was still a loud roar, and a new demon was approaching this way.
Seeing that a round of battle was about to begin, at this moment, the demon that appeared first suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes flashing with a murderous light, and his manic mood made him crazy.
The shadows beneath his feet coalesced into a mass, forming a large black vortex that quickly absorbed the spirits.
One by one, the ghosts were sucked into the vortex and became a part of it.
And the absorbed spirits have no ability to resist at all, or they don't know how to resist at all.
Seeing Yu Yuan staring intently at the evil ghost, Hou Tuzu Wu sighed softly, "Daoist friends don't seem to know much about these ghosts and ghosts......
At the beginning of the world, everything had a spirit, and there was almost no such thing as death.
But as time passed, fierce beasts ravaged the wilderness, and they were driven by ferocious anger to carry out large-scale killings.
Some of those who died tragically were scattered, while others were left behind.
Although the true spirits of these souls have all been extinguished, over the course of countless years, some of them have instinctively devoured each other, thus giving birth to new spiritual wisdom.
Today, these souls that gave birth to intelligence seem to have formed a whole new race. ”
"You're talking about demons?"
Yu Yuan subconsciously muttered.
He knew that there were countless evil ghosts in the Netherworld Mansion in the later life, and at the same time, there was also an evil ghost path among the six realms of reincarnation.
However, now the reincarnation has not yet been established, and the Netherworld has not yet taken shape.
Hearing Yu Yuan's question, Houtu Ancestor Wu nodded slightly, and a glint of interest flashed in his eyes as he looked at him.
"Daoyou is right."
Houtu Ancestor Wu Zhengse said: "They are the evil ghost clan. Although these evil spirits have been hiding in the eighteen layers of dark soil, and almost never show their faces on the desolate land, Daoist friends must not despise them. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Yu Yuan came with some interest.
"Because the number of demons is almost endless!" Hou Tu Ancestor Wu said in a deep voice: "Since the beginning of the world, countless living beings have died, except for some living souls who have been scattered, the rest of the souls have sunk in the eighteen layers of the dark earth and the nether blood sea.
Can you imagine what a huge number that is? ”
This Yu Yuan really can't imagine it.
Because from the beginning of the world to the present, the time span in the middle is probably too much to count.
Moreover, the vast world of the desolation is immense, and there are countless creatures living there, and every day an unknown number of creatures die for various reasons, and some of their souls are scattered, while others wander around, and eventually become ghosts......
From ancient times to the present, the number of evil ghosts has been accumulating, and I am afraid that it is much more than all the living beings in the desolation combined!
Seeing that Yu Yuan realized this, the expression on Hou Tu Zu Wu's face also became solemn.
I only heard her say in a deep voice: "Now that the desolate world is becoming more and more ordinary, a new intelligent race like the human race has a short lifespan, but its reproductive ability is very strong.
If the Lich and the Lich had not been slaughtered, the Terrans would have continued to grow.
In the same way, the number of demons will increase rapidly!
The reason why I did not firmly stop my brother from slaughtering the Terrans was also because I considered that the Terrans could no longer continue to multiply uncontrollably.
Otherwise, the demon clan will expand day by day in the flood famine, and one day it will spread throughout the flood famine! ”
"So what?" Yu Yuan showed a puzzled look on his face, "These evil ghosts don't seem to have much ability, why are Daoyou so jealous of them?" ”
"These demons are the condensation of the Shadow." Hou Tu Zu Wu said softly: "Wherever they go, the yin qi is full of yin, and they immediately turn into ghosts, and they can devour the spirits of ordinary beings...... Although it has no effect on you and me, once the ghosts are all over the wilderness, there will be no place for other races such as the human race. ”
Hearing this, Yu Yuan suddenly realized, looked at Hou Tu Ancestor Wu Zhengse and said, "According to what Daoyou said, aren't these evil ghosts a big threat to the creatures of the desolate wilderness?" So why not destroy these demons? ”
Hou Tu Zu Wu shook his head, "Because they are still desolate creatures in essence, and they are the continuation of all dead lives...... I don't want to hurt them unless I have to. ”
Yu Yuan nodded, understood what she meant, looked at Hou Tu Zu Wu and exclaimed: "Daoyou is really compassionate. ”
"Isn't it compassion?" Hou Tu Zu Wu shook his head, "The problem of evil ghosts cannot be completely solved by force. ”
She looked at Yu Yuan and said with a solemn expression: "The desolate world is becoming more and more ordinary, this is an irreversible state, and the new life will become weaker and weaker, and the life span will become shorter and shorter.
The number of demons will increase!
As long as there are creatures born and dead in the wilderness, the evil spirits will never disappear.
It is impossible to kill by force alone! ”
"That's just as well." Yu Yuan nodded, and after a slight mutter, he still took the opportunity to remind: "Then if someone can help the soul of a living soul to be reborn again after it dies, wouldn't it be able to prevent them from turning into evil ghosts?" ”
Houtu Zuwu raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was quite interested in his proposal.
After thinking for a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
"Fellow Daoists, this method is indeed feasible. There are many techniques for resurrecting the dead in the world, and there are many elixirs and spiritual fruits that have the ability to bring the dead back to life...... Wrong! ”
Speaking of this, Hou Tu Zu Wu reacted suddenly, shook his head and said, "This method won't work!" Not to mention the countless creatures that die every day, they can't be saved at all!
Even if you can really save all living beings, but life and death are fate, if there is no death, the number of living beings in heaven and earth will expand rapidly in a short period of time, until it occupies the entire flood and desolation...... No, not even the whole Flood Wilderness can contain them! ”
"Then if it is a dead being, the memory is erased, like a blank piece of paper, let him be reborn into the world, starting from a baby until he dies, and then erase his memory, let him be reborn into the world...... From life to death, from death to life, and over again! ”
"From life to death, from death to life, and over again?"
Houtu Ancestor Wu was slightly shocked, and it was like a lightning bolt in his mind, and the whole person was instantly stunned.
Yu Yuan knew that his allocation had played a role, and he didn't bother her anymore.
In fact, he was still a little hesitant about whether to pick up the ancestral witch.
Although he knew the other party's method of becoming an authentic merit saint, he also knew what price he had to pay.
Moreover, after the other party proves to be an authentic meritorious saint, he may not accept his favor, and may even hold a grudge against him.
However, after thinking about it again, Yu Yuan still decided to take a gamble.
If it can be done, there will be one more helper in the future.
If it can't be done, it's a big deal not to go to the Netherworld in the future.
Anyway, the other party can't get out of the underworld after becoming an authentic merit saint, even if he really holds a grudge against him because of this, there is nothing he can do.
After a while, Hou Tu woke up and looked at Yu Yuan and said, "What Daoyou said is very reasonable, and it has given me a lot of inspiration...... Now most of those evil spirits are concentrated in the eighteen layers of the dark earth, I want to go and check it out, I wonder if you can accompany me on a trip? ”
"Eighteen layers of ghostly earth?" There was a hint of hesitation on Yu Yuan's face, but he was secretly excited in his heart.
Perhaps today we will have the opportunity to see for ourselves what it is like to be sanctified.
This will also be of great help to him in the future!
After pondering for a moment with pretended hesitation, he nodded and said unhurriedly: "Since Daoist friends have invited him, then Poor Dao naturally has no reason to refuse. ”
Houtu Zuwu smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoists, please come with me." ”
As she spoke, a yellow glow flashed around her.
Yu Yuan recognized that this was a great magic power that shrunk into inches, so he did not resist.
In the next moment, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was already in a dark and cold world.
Eighteen layers of the world, each of which is a complete world.
However, the world that Yu Yuan came to has no sun, moon and stars, lakes and oceans, no green trees, and clear water, only the endless mountains and hills and an incomparably wide and flowing river.
Desolate and cold.
Yu Yuan didn't perceive any trace of life in this world, only what seemed to be an endless stream of evil spirits floating in the air, peeking at him from the cracks in the black-brown rocks.
These demons are tangible and insubstantial, they can overlap and intersect with each other, and some of them look strange as if thousands of strange beings are gathered together, and they look very strange and disgusting.
Yu Yuan looked around and saw that these evil ghosts gathered together like a sea of green, leaving people with little room to stand.
However, because both of them are masters of the quasi-saint power level, they are both existences that can walk sideways inside and outside the Three Realms, so they will naturally not be frightened by this battle.
In fact, although there were a lot of evil ghosts in this world, in Yu Yuan's eyes, they were just a few more ants, and they had no real impact at all.
After all, it is just a legend that ants bite and kill elephants.
No amount of ants can bite or kill a giant elephant as the ancient sacred mountain!
This can no longer be solved by quantitative change causing qualitative change.
Those evil ghosts also knew very well, and they quickly turned around and fled the moment they saw the two of them appear, and the rest knelt down and kowtowed because they were afraid of the breath of the two, and they didn't dare to approach at all.
From this point of view, these evil spirits are not low.
Perhaps a certain "social civilization" has been formed.
This is not the first time Yu Yuan has come to the Netherworld World, but what he went to was the Netherworld under the control of the six reincarnations.
It was a place of order and order, and the desolation in front of it was very different.
At this moment, he saw the scene of this evil ghost like a wave, and his heart was also greatly shocked.
There are so many demons!
Yu Yuan released his divine thoughts to explore the surroundings and found that the entire world had been occupied by evil spirits.
The Houtu Ancestor Witch on the side reminded and said, "This is only the first layer of the dark land, and the number of evil ghosts in the seventeenth layer of the dark land below is even more!" ”
With that, the light flashed under her feet, and she took Yu Yuan to the second dark earth.
This side of the world is still the same bleak, the same desolate and cold, only the great river that runs through the Three Realms flows endlessly.
However, the number of remnant souls in the second layer of the ghost soil is more than thirty percent more than that of the first layer of the ghost earth!
Seeing the dense demons, Yu Yuan recognized the worry of the Houtu Ancestor Witch a little more in his heart.
If these demons are left untreated, they will indeed become a great scourge!
If all the evil ghosts in the eighteen layers of the dark earth ran out, it would be enough to turn the entire world into a ghost snake that was cut off from life!
And now, this eighteen layers of dark earth are almost unable to contain these evil ghosts!
Yu Yuan, under the leadership of the Houtu Ancestor Wu, just kept going down, and after passing through a heavy layer of dark soil, he finally came to the eighteenth layer of dark earth.
It has been completely reduced to ghosts, and the ground, the air, and even the rocks have become the territory of evil spirits.
As far as the eye can see, the demons are densely packed, almost all overlapping each other.
And they are constantly devouring each other, and the more souls they devour, the stronger they become.
The evil ghosts that can come to this eighteen layers of the dark land are all extremely powerful existences, and each evil ghost has tens of thousands of souls in their bodies.
Houtu Ancestor Wu looked at the dense evil ghosts, and couldn't help but sigh: "Since the opening of the Father's Heaven and Earth, the eighteen layers of the dark land have always been the destination of the desolate creatures after they die.
But over the years, too many creatures have died.
The eighteen-fold realm was almost unable to contain these souls. ”
Speaking of this, she hesitated slightly, as if she was hesitating to confide in Yu Yuan whether to confide in Yu Yuan, but in the end she still said in a deep voice: "I can't hide it, I have been feeling frequently recently, and I always feel that there is a great flaw in the flood created by my father.
Listening to what Taoist friends say today, I know what this defect is. ”
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up with a light, and he looked at Hou Tu Zu Wu and said, "What is that shortcoming?" ”
Hou Tu Zu Wu looked around, and said as if muttering to himself: "Heaven and earth give birth to all things, and they also give birth to all spirits...... Whenever a new soul is born in heaven and earth, it is given to the soul by heaven and earth.
However, when the living beings died, these souls did not return to heaven and earth, but sank into these eighteen layers of darkness and turned into lifeless evil spirits......
This is the defect of heaven and earth!
But I don't know how to make up for it......"
"Fellow Daoist!"
Houtu Zuwu turned his head to look at Yu Yuan suddenly, and his confused gaze showed a hint of heat.
"How should the Taoist friend achieve what he said before, 'from life to death, from death to life, and repeating the cycle'? Is there a way to teach me?
I want to help the soul of a living being reborn after it dies...... Once this can be achieved, it will be able to completely make up for the shortcomings of the desolate world! ”
Yu Yuan nodded.
He could see that this Houtu Ancestor Witch was actually only a thin layer of window paper away from the Great Dao of Enlightenment of Reincarnation.
She is the turbidity of the Pangu God, and she may have been born with the mission of making up for her shortcomings.
It's her fate!
Even if there is no Yu Yuan's dial today, she will eventually embark on this path.
The difference is only that due to Yu Yuan's intervention, she will be certified as an authentic merit saint a little earlier.
At this point, Yu Yuandang said in a serious voice: "Daoist friend is right, the defect between heaven and earth is that there is a mechanism that can recover the spirit and give it new life, so the cycle repeats and the cycle is endless......"
"The cycle goes on and on, and the cycle goes on and on!"
Houtu Ancestor Wu shook suddenly, and the confusion in his eyes completely dissipated.
At this moment, a huge Dao rhyme burst out from her, rushing out of the eighteen layers of secluded earth, connecting the Three Realms, and shaking the world......
"I understand, this desolate world lacks a reincarnation!"
With her words, the entire eighteen-fold ghost land instantly brightened as day.
Endless demons dispersed and disintegrated in an instant, turning back into a murky ghost, the soul left behind after the death of all beings.
Hou Tu Zu Wu's body was surrounded by rhyme, and his whole body was emitting a bright and soft white light, like an extremely holy goddess.
The vast and boundless Dao rhyme on her body was connected with the desolate world, and it spread all over the world in an instant.
At this moment, the countless top powers in the desolate world all looked towards the eighteen secluded lands.
Even the saints who were high up in the sky threw a casual glance at this moment at the Netherland World, which they would never look at before.
However, the entire eighteen-fold ghost land had been filled with the reincarnation Dao rhyme emanating from the Houtu Ancestor Witch, and even the saints could not see the specific situation here through her.
This also made Yu Yuan, who had planned to retreat quietly, relax and stay in this eighteen-fold secluded land to quietly watch the process of the Later Tuzu Witch's preaching.
This is an extremely rare scene.
Throughout the past and future of the flood famine, there is only one person who can preach and become an authentic saint of merit.
It can be said that this is an unavoidable opportunity.
If you miss it, you won't have another chance.
After watching the Tuzu Witch preached, not to mention anything else, at least "immersed" in this reincarnation Dao rhyme, and in the future, it will be possible to take a shortcut to comprehend this reincarnation Dao.
It can also provide inspiration for his own future preaching.
Why not?
When he observed the preaching of the Houtuzu Witch, the high-level leaders of the two most powerful lich clans in the desolate world also noticed the abnormality, and they gathered together as soon as possible.
At this moment, in the tall and majestic Demon Emperor Hall of the Heavenly Court, the Demon Emperor Jun sitting on the throne of the upper head widened his eyes, and his face was full of incredulity.
"The one who is going to preach is the Houtu Ancestor Witch?"
Di Jun looked at the demon saints in the hall in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "Aren't all the ancestral witches congenitally deficient and unable to cultivate the primordial gods?" How could she be sanctified?! ”
"Although the ancestral witches can't cultivate the primordial gods, they were born with a great avenue law...... Bai Ze Demon Saint reminded: "Maybe it was the earth ancestor witch who thoroughly understood the great avenue law?" ”
"Now is not the time to discuss this!"
The Eastern Emperor Taiyi snorted coldly, looked at the frowning Emperor Jun and said, "Then the Tu Ancestor Wu fought against us not long ago, but now he suddenly preached in the Eighteen Hidden Realms, it must have been a temporary breakthrough.
It also means that she is not well prepared!
Then we can go to the Eighteen Realms at once to stop her from becoming sanctified! ”
"Not bad!"
Di Jun nodded, agreeing with his analysis.
However, he immediately said vigilantly: "Could this be a trap deliberately set by the Wu Clan?" ”
"Whether there is fraud or not, we can't sit idly by!" Donghuang Taiyi said in a deep voice.
"You're right."
Demon Emperor Jun bowed slightly, naturally able to understand what he meant.
If the Hou Tuzu Witch succeeds in preaching and becomes a saint, then the Wu clan will have the support of a saint, how can their demon clan compete with it?
This hidden danger must be stifled!
A flash of determination flashed in Di Jun's eyes, and he said loudly: "Taiyi, you will immediately take Bai Ze, Shang Yang, Fei Lian and other demon saints to the eighteen-fold dark land, and later I will set up the next Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array, if it is impossible, I will directly erase the eighteen-fold dark land!" ”
"That's great!"
Donghuang Taiyi was not surprised by this decision, and even agreed with it very much.
"After the big array is laid down, the demon master will bring several other demon saints to rush over to support, you must be careful, those ancestral witches will definitely go to protect the way." Demon Emperor Jun solemnly reminded.
He quickly distributed all the high-level combat forces of the demon clan to their respective characters, and formulated a complete set of plans.
"Big brother, don't worry!"
A golden Chaos Bell appeared above the head of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and he said proudly: "Before, the six ancestors and witches joined forces, and they couldn't help me!"
With the Chaos Bell, I'm invincible! ”
Di Jun bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what, you must stop Houtu from preaching!" ”
"Don't worry, she can't become a saint!"
Donghuang Taiyi sneered, and the Chaos Bell above his head instantly emitted a melodious light sound.
"Wow~"
The crisp sound of the bell echoed in the main hall, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and several quasi-saints in the hall had disappeared in this instant.
At the same time, in the Pangu Hall of Nabu Mountain, eleven ancestral witches were also hurrying together.
"Time is of the essence, I'll cut it short."
Dijiang Ancestral Witch looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Houtu Girl's preaching is imminent, those guys of the Demon Clan will definitely find a way to stop it!"
We must unite now, let go of other things, and go to the eighteen-fold secluded land to protect the way for the girls of the Houtu!
As long as the Houtu girl can succeed in preaching, then the demon clan will not have to worry about it in the future! ”
"Big brother is right!" Zhu Rong Zuwu spewed sparks in his mouth, and said loudly: "I'll wait for this to go to Houtu Sister to protect the road!" ”
The other Ancestors all nodded.
Seeing that no one objected, Dijiang Ancestor Wu looked at Candle Jiu's vagina: "In order to prevent those guys from the demon clan from making trouble, you will take the lead with Zhu Rong, Gonggong, Xuan Ming, and Jumang!" ”
"It's all up to the big brother's arrangement!"
Candle Jiuyin, Zhu Rong and other five ancestors responded in unison.
Immediately, they directly tore through the space and disappeared in an instant.
After they left, the Dijiang Ancestral Witch looked at the remaining Ancestral Witches and said in a deep voice: "The last time I fought with the Demon Clan, the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array they laid out was extremely powerful, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth.
Di Jun and Taiyi are both scattered and crazy, if they find that they can't stop the Houtu girl from preaching, they will definitely move out of the Zhou Tianxing Dou Great Array...... Our task is to go to the Heavenly Court to make a big fuss and make sure that they can't set up a group of Zhou Tian Star Dou Array! ”
Tianwu, Yizi, Haobi corpse and other ancestral witches nodded again and again.
"It's still the eldest brother who thinks about Zhou Xiang, and the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array really can't be guarded against!"
"But we have to be very careful when we go, only target those demon gods in the demon court, don't fight with those demon saints......" Dijiang Ancestor Wu explained carefully, and even some details were not missed.
The Ancestral Witches nodded their heads, trusting him unreservedly.
Dijiang Ancestor Wu shouted in a low voice: "No matter what, we must let our Houtu sister succeed in her preaching safe and sound!! ”
With that, he took the lead out of the Pangu Palace, and his figure quickly disappeared into the void.
The rest of the ancestral witches followed, and one by one they quickly disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of the Nantian Gate.
Emperor Jiang Ancestor Wu looked at the gate of this Heavenly Court, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He unceremoniously took out the bone spear of Bai Sensen, directly used it as a stick, and smashed it on the blue and heavy Nantian Gate at once.
"Boom ......"
With the sound of the giant thing collapsing, the shouting of the ancestor of Dijiang also sounded.
"Heaven should be destroyed!"
