Chapter 426: The Ghost King's Birthday Banquet
Time is easy to disperse, but above this cloud, there is no continuation of time, the past, present, and future do not exist.
Shou Yuan is a restriction on the living. For ghosts, there is no life and no death.
They have no limit on longevity, and there is no boundary between life and death. They exist by the existence of the soul, and the dissipation of the soul is their dissipation.
But dissipation is not death, and if the souls are replenished one day, they will be reunited again.
Without the fear of death, becoming an immortal has no special desire for ghosts, unlike living people, who have to go through a lot of hardships to become an immortal.
In heaven and earth, immortals, ghosts, and demons are all different sequences.
The gods are in the sky, the ghosts are in the netherworld, and the demons are in the world. And it is strange for a ghost to come out of the netherworld to appear in a world that does not belong to it, and a ghost to appear in the sky is even stranger.
When Chen Ke came to this cloud, he felt that the king inside was different.
This is a ghost king with ambitions!
"Open the door!"
The old man shouted loudly at the city gate, and after a while, the city gate was opened with a creak, and it was not a spell for the clouds to dissipate at all, but someone made the clouds into entities.
What is the cloud?
The cloud was originally a fog, a cloud of gas. At this moment, the clouds that Chen Ke saw belonged to a mixed state of gas and solid, like glass boxes filled with clouds and mist.
A group of ghost soldiers walked out of the gate of the city, and they saluted the old man: "Meet the prime minister, the king is already waiting for you inside." ”
"Got it."
The old man nodded lightly, turned his head to look at Chen Ke again, and smiled: "Fellow Daoist, follow me." ”
Chen Ke and the others followed the old man into the city, and the scenery on the side of this cloudy street was not much different from the scenery of the town in the world. This scene made Chen Ke feel even more strange, it seemed that this king of the sky was very yearning for the life of the living.
Walking through the long streets, you entered a splendid palace in the center of the city, where the clouds were not ordinary white clouds, but brightly colored red clouds.
"Please!"
The old man saw the surprised eyes of Chen Ke and the others, and his heart was very useful, he liked to see the surprised eyes of others, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment.
Because the color of the clouds here is his suggestion.
The whole city is full of white clouds, but this ghost king's palace is made of red clouds, which really stands out from the crowd and is different.
Passing through the palace, Chen Ke and the others came to a golden hall.
The clouds here turned out to be golden clouds, Chen Ke completely admired the ghost who built this palace city on the clouds, he was really not an ordinary person, this kind of person was the most suitable for building a palace.
There are ninety-nine eighty-one steps in the palace, and on the platform above the steps, there is a young woman, she is wearing a black and gold mixed color dragon robe, a black crown on her head, a pair of red boots, a heroic face, and a pair of sharp eyes looking at Chen Ke.
"King!"
The old man bowed respectfully to the woman, and the woman waved her hand slightly, signaling the old man to flatten. The old man pointed to Chen Ke and said, "I heard that the king is on his birthday, these are Taoist friends who are passing by, and they came to congratulate the king on his birthday." ”
The woman nodded: "Since it is a Taoist friend from afar, come in and drink two glasses of thin wine." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ke said.
Evening Sakura and Sun Donglai also thanked each other.
The old man led the three of them up the steps and walked into the palace, which was very lively, with many ghosts walking around and placing many tables, and the tables were full of dishes.
The ghost king celebrates his birthday, according to the legend of the world, what he eats is people's hearts and livers, and what he drinks is people's blood.
On the table in front of Chen Ke and them, there was Linglu Spirit Wine, and the meat of some spirit beasts was arranged, and it was also cooked food.
Is this the ghost king's birthday?
If you don't know your identity, you really think that this is the birthday of the emperor in the world.
"Fellow Daoists, please take a seat, I have to go out and invite some passing guests." The old man led Chen Ke to a table, said a few words to them, and left the hall again.
Chen Ke and the three of them sat at a table, and the evening cherry blossoms looked curiously at the spiritual delicacies on the table, and Sun Donglai was even more surprised in his heart.
"Fellow Daoist, did we come to the palace of a ghost king? Or did you come to the mansion of a fairy with a long way? "Sun Donglai is a little unclear, a ghost king in the hall actually uses the etiquette of a living person to celebrate his birthday.
Who will believe it?
Chen Ke looked at the ghost king, she was sitting on the dragon chair, her face was slightly cold, and there was a look of indifference in the depths of her eyes, as if she was indifferent to everything in front of her.
This made Chen Ke feel very strange, how could this ghost king still look unhappy in his heart?
"Isn't this place a little different from ordinary ghost dens, at least I don't feel the blood in this ghost den, and even the karma here is very small, although the ghosts here have a sense of resentment, they don't have a kind of hostility towards anyone." Chen Ke said that this place is different.
Sun Donglai was slightly surprised, and he asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"The ghost nest here should be a force established according to the cultivation sect, not a ghost nest built according to the rules of the Yin Wind City." Chen Ke said.
Haunted den, what kind of place is that. A place where evil spirits gather, riots and resentments of all kinds. Even a normal soul can become a bloodthirsty demon if it stays in it for a long time.
How can such a place be a place for the living?
Chen Ke felt that even a cultivator who had cultivated to the realm of Ning Dan with a firm will, if he entered the ghost nest, he would be affected by the breath in the ghost den after staying for a long time.
But in this ghost nest, in this palace, there is no resentment and tyranny, but a bland, nothing-feeling feeling.
It can only be seen from the outside that this palace is a splendid palace, showing the dignity of the owner.
"Fellow Daoist, you were also invited over?"
There were a few cultivators walking next to him, their cultivation was only in the late stage of the Dao Foundation Realm, and several of them seemed to be very nervous, as if they felt that there were living people on Chen Ke's side, and they leaned over.
"Exactly, fellow Daoists, you were also invited to celebrate the birthday of the Ghost King?" Sun Donglai said with a smile, he is in the Jindan realm, and he exerted his spiritual power to suppress the cold ghost qi on his body, and outsiders could not detect whether he was a human or a ghost.
Several people thought he was a living man.
This is the Yin Wind City, and there are really no ghosts who will hide their breath and deliberately pretend to be alive. It's easy to be attacked by other demons, and it's easy to be killed by mistake!
A few people chatted with Sun Donglai, they were originally members of the Anti-Ghost Alliance in another big city, and this time they went out to a nearby town to select good seedlings with good talents and earn them in the Anti-Ghost Alliance.
When Evening Sakura heard about the Anti-Ghost Alliance, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "I've heard your legend, you have once again saved a big city, it's really amazing!" ”
"Hahaha, so-so." One of them said with a smile.
The other person had a look of pity on his face: "It's just that I can't do enough to protect only one city." ”
"I'm sure you'll get stronger and stronger, and eventually drive the demons out of the Netherwind City!" Evening cherry blossoms cheer them on.
As long as she is an enemy of a ghost, she is a friend of her late cherry blossoms.
"We will, I think you have a good cultivation, you are already in the early stage of the Dao Foundation Realm at a young age, it is better to join our anti-ghost alliance and fight against evil ghosts with us!" An ordinary-looking middle-aged man looked at the evening cherry blossom and smiled and extended an invitation to the evening cherry blossom.
Wan Ying glanced at Chen Ke, who was silent, shook his head and said, "I still have things to do with Shizun, so I can't join you." ”
"Master, this masked Taoist friend is your master?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ke and smiled, "Daoyou, your name is Su Enci, and you are a little deacon of the Anti-Ghost Alliance, I don't know which city you are from?" ”
"We're from Shortfish City." Evening Sakura said.
"Shortfish City? Daoist friends are not joking, Short Fish City is more than 2,000 miles away from here, how did you come here? Another man with a short beard looked at the evening cherry blossoms in surprise.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Little Daoyou is joking, don't think too much." ”
"We're really from Shortfish City." Sakura said again, she didn't want the other party to think she was a liar.
The other party was immediately surprised, and Sun Donglai also said with a smile: "She's right, we are indeed from Short Fish City." ”
"Fellow Daoist, did you bump into the evil ghosts blocking the way on this road?" The short-bearded man asked.
Sun Donglai said: "I met a lot, but we walked in the daytime, and we were all some evil ghosts with weak cultivation, and we were defeated. ”
"Daoyou is really powerful, I can't see through your cultivation Daoyou, may I ask Daoyou, what realm are you?" The short-bearded man asked Sun Donglai.
Sun Donglai said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary Ning Dan realm. ”
"Ning Dan Realm!" The other party was taken aback, and his gaze at Sun Donglai also changed.
Among the cultivators of the Yin Wind City Country, the highest realm that a living person can reach is the early stage of the Ning Dan Realm, and if you cultivate further, there will be evil ghosts attacking the city.
This was the reason why it was rare for the Yin Wind City Kingdom to see cultivators in the middle and late stages of the Ning Dan Realm, and it was also the result of the demons keeping the existence of living people without giving them a chance to grow.
When they first heard of a powerhouse in the Ning Dan realm, several people became more interested in Sun Donglai.
The middle-aged man who invited the late cherry blossoms asked Chen Ke: "Fellow Daoist, you are also in the Ning Dan realm?" ”
Chen Ke shook his head and said, "It's not the Ning Dan realm. ”
They couldn't see through Chen Ke's cultivation, thinking that Chen Ke, like Sun Donglai, was a cultivator in the Ning Dan realm. Hearing Chen Ke say this, several people decided to be suitable.
"Do you have any magic weapons on your body? Why can't we see through the cultivation of Taoist friends? The middle-aged man asked.
Chen Ke said: "There is a talisman for self-defense to isolate spiritual power exploration, which is not a treasure. ”
These people felt that Chen Ke and his party were extraordinary, and they chatted more.
The others were not living people, but some big ghosts, who turned their heads to look at Chen Ke from time to time.
