"Oh yes, doesn't it look a little uncomfortable?"

The sudden sound of a deep voice almost startled Chi Tang, and when he turned his head to look at the voice, he saw a hunched figure standing under the sand pillars of the palace wall.

Chi Tang didn't understand the meaning, and hummed softly: "What's uncomfortable?"

"See this scene. Broken Moon flickered, and in a blink of an eye, he came to Chi Tang and Han Li, but his eyes fell on the gloomy and dim ghost city outside the palace, "The yin wind is howling, there is no sound, the shadows are hazy, and the forest is terrifying." This place can be used as the backdrop for all the horror stories in the world, and even if the two adults are so bold, they will still feel uncomfortable after witnessing it. ”

"That's because of the darkness. Broken Moon didn't wait for Chi Tang Han Li to respond, and continued, "In the face of such almost breathless darkness, the fear of darkness in the hearts of human beings from ancient times will breed, because darkness represents the unknown, danger, and death. ”

Chi Tang had to admit that what Broken Moon said made sense, it was said that with his identity as a demon slayer, no matter how shocking the scene was, he should be at ease, but it was such a depressing darkness that made him can't help but have a trace of fear.

Broken Moon smiled: "Actually, this is a misunderstanding, darkness and light are just two sides of the same thing, just like the cycle of the sun rising and the moon setting, after drawing a round circle, the beginning and the end are always the same." This is the world of complete existence. ”

Han Li gently stroked the pearl under his shoulder, took a deep breath, and his expression was thoughtful, but Chi Tang's heart was shocked, and he seemed to hear the similarity with Na Lang Ji's theory of yin and yang balance from these words.

Seeing that both of them were touched, Broken Moon politely raised her sleeves and lowered her already bent back: "Oh, yes, two adults don't have to pay attention to someone's strange words. At the behest of the King of the Rift Abyss, he was accompanied by someone during the day, and someone obeyed the orders of the two adults at any time. ”

"You're welcome. Chi Tang remembered Dingtong's title for Broken Moon, and at the same time remembered Dingtong: "Where is that Dingtong monk? And what about my Yijie brother who came with me? And that ...... What about the two fairies?"

"Oh, yes, this hour, it's the time when Master Yu is chanting the Sutra and the Requiem, and the adult's friend of the evil soul is in the same place as Master Yu, the body of the soul, listening to these scriptures, it is very beneficial. As for the two demon friends, they seem to be well adapted to the daytime darkness of the ghost town, and are traveling around the city accompanied by someone's wife.

Lunch? Could it be noon now? Chi Tang looked at the hazy sky and could hardly believe it. However, after hearing that he still had to eat, he hurriedly shook his hand and burped a few times: "I really can't eat, Lord Rift King is too enthusiastic, and I still feel full and sad." ”

Han Li also smiled: "Coming to the banquet at night is the most eaten meal in Han's life, but now he can't eat at all." ”

Shattered Moon's head shook, and his eyes narrowed into a slit again: "Oh, yes, yes, Lord Rift Abyss King is this biggest habit, although his skills are extraordinary, he doesn't care how full and greasy others are, haha." ”

"Where is the Rift Abyss King now?" After mentioning this, Chi Tang asked as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"This is the day, and you need to cover the sun so that the city will not be melted by the scorching sun, and the souls of the city will be at peace. Therefore, the King of the Rift Abyss used his spells in the Stygian Crystal Temple during the day, and he did not dare to leave without permission. Of course, because of the help of Xuanjing, you don't have to maintain it with all your strength, you just need to be here. Therefore, during this time, Lord Rift King usually studied recipes and cooked with his own hands while practicing the Fa. Oh, it's in the innermost compartment of this temple. Broken Moon pouted into the depths of the pavilion corridor, and Chitang Han Li looked back, but he could only see the shadow of the palace and the house, and it was dark.

"It's best not to disturb Lord Rift King during the day, there are distinguished guests here these days, I believe that Lord Rift King is shaking his spirits and showing off his cooking skills, and at night, there is another table of sumptuous dishes. Seeing that Chitang Han Li's face was bitter, Broken Moon also added a sentence: "It's exactly the same as last night's dish." ”

Chi Tang's distress is not the repetition of the dish, in terms of taste alone, he is far from Cheng dù, who is extremely tired of eating, he is just having a headache, the stomach has not been digested, and he has to come new at night, eating too much, is it also a trouble?

Han Li suddenly remembered something: "Mr. Great Wei, are you saying that the Rift Abyss King is casting spells to block the sunlight every day?"

"yes. ”

"But I remember, he said that he went to that desolate state a hundred years ago, and it is said that it is not a million miles away, could it be that with the magic power of the Rift Abyss King, it can be traveled overnight?"

"Oh, yes, Lord Condor is very thoughtful, can this also be deduced? Actually, Lord Rift Abyss' high mana is naturally extremely high, but he has not reached such a divine ability, in fact, there happened to be a powerful person at that time, so he did it for Lord Rift King, Lord Rift King took the opportunity to go out for a while, and it was also a pity to make up for hundreds of years of staying at home. ”

"How can you learn how to prepare dishes from the countries of the Western Regions without leaving home?"

Shattered Moon didn't answer Han Li's relentless question, and looked at Chi Tang with a contemplative look on his face: "Lord Crow, do you know who the powerful person who replaced Lord Rift Abyss at that time was?"

"I'm thinking about it...... Do I know?"

"Hehe, since Lord Crow can get here, it is impossible not to know him. ”

Chi Tang's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the ice wolf?"

"Oh, yes, Lord Crow's mind is quick, it's that Lord Divine Wolf. ”

Sure enough, that Lang Yu also went out from here, and he was already here a hundred years ago, could it be that the plan to subvert the water was conspired to subvert the water, and this Rift Abyss King also participated? Chi Tang had many doubts in his heart, and he couldn't wait to go through the Xuanjing to explore the secret.

"Let's go, there are a lot of doubts, Han also wants to consult Mr. Dawei. Han Li made a gesture to Shattered Moon to lead the way.

......

Step by step, Chi Tang and Han Li quickly stepped out of the Stygian Crystal Temple under the guidance of the broken moon, and walked in the ghost city during the day, only to feel more and more cold, but this cold atmosphere was very different from when he walked into the city last night, Chi Tang was curious, squatted and pressed his hand on the ground, and the tentacles were cold and piercing, and he suddenly shivered.

"Oh, yes, the underworld is still dark and cloudy, and these fine sand on the ground have been buried deep in the ground for many years, and they are drained by the soul, I am afraid that it is a little colder than the ice of the snow-capped mountains. However, these sands are cold inside, and do not radiate outside, so they do not emit cold like ice and snow, and when they merge with the splendor of the moon, they have another spiritual effect. ”

Chi Tang suddenly heard this, and it was strange that there was such a difference between what he felt when he stepped on it last night and the day now, but it was closely related to the flower of the moon.

The light is really dim, and it is no longer the beautiful scene of last night, Chi Tang and Han Li are pacing, and they don't have the leisure to watch, but they have a stomach full of doubts to ask this great ghost guard who protects the country at the right time.

Han Li is not a person who subdues demons, so his words are the most direct, and he asks the question that most ordinary people will ask: "It is said that after a person dies, he goes to the underworld, but Han has never heard of this Rift Abyss Ghost Country, can it be said that the Rift Abyss Country is actually the underworld that is passed on by word of mouth in the world?"

"Hehe, the statement about the underworld is not only your Central Plains of China, whether it is the West or the seventy-two countries of the Western Regions, they all have their own theories about the underworld, and they are basically the same. But apart from the fact that people do have souls, everything else is just a myth of their imagination. In fact, not only people, but all living beings, including goblins, or gnosis birds, animals, flowers, plants, and trees, have their own souls. Several adults are the reincarnation of divine beasts, isn't it the soul of the ancient divine beast attached to your body? And other souls are the same, if the smoke and dust are ethereal in the mortal world, but those who find a suitable physical body will be attached, this is the reincarnation theory, oh yes, this is not someone came up with it, it is the statement of the master of the dragon. ”

Chi Tang was moved: "There are many deceased people in the world, throughout the ages, the soul is almost like the sand of the Ganges, if it is like this, but isn't it life and death, and the cycle continues?"

"Oh yes, Master Yu also has an explanation for this. What is a soul? It is a colorless, smellless, formless, and massless phantom wave, and most souls are fused by the magnetic poles of yin and yang, and eventually become one with heaven and earth, and thus disappear. Only a very small number of souls may survive by chance, in the words of Master Yu, that is the wave of gnosis memory, and some souls with strong minds can even affect the skull of the living, so that they can see the scene they want them to see, oh yes, it's really embarrassing, in short, this kind of scene is spread all over the world, and it is called hell. ”

"In other words, the souls and ghosts we see here are all those with strong intentions?"

"Someone just said that only a very small number of souls survive by chance, and the increasing number of souls here is not due to the fact that all of them are very strong-minded, but have a lot to do with the position prescribed here. ”

Chi Tang and Han Li glanced at each other, feeling that this statement was incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that it seemed to be reasonable, Han Li immediately said: "This is the realm of the Western Desert, is it because of the light curtain outside the desert that separates the world?"

"Oh, yes, it's called Hurricane, but it has nothing to do with gathering souls. The real reason is that there is a very strange thing here, which can attract the wandering spirits that wander around here and make them appear hazy in their original form. ”

Chi Tang remembered the Yin Soul that he saw last night shuttling through the streets and alleys, it was indeed a blurred facial feature, and it must be the true face of the soul, so he nodded secretly: "So what is it?"

"Didn't you guys talk about this kind of thing last night, even if someone said it just now?" Broken Moon didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, seeing that Chi Tang Han Li looked like he was thinking hard, he smiled: "...... It's Xuanjing, and the full name is Soul Xuanjing. ”

In an instant, Chi Tang remembered all the colorful glow that he saw in the sea of clouds and the wind when he approached the ghost country, and when he was in the air from a bird's eye view, the light and shadow shrouded outside the palace were not exactly the same as the brilliance of the ghost crystal in the Four Treasures of Courtship that he saw in the Zihan Courtyard? No wonder he always felt familiar, but the original source came from this.

Thinking of this, Chi Tang suddenly wondered, what Xuanjing Exploration, what Dark Crystal Temple, isn't that what this Dark Spirit Xuanjing is talking about? Suddenly stunned: "Didn't the Dark Spirit Xuanjing be stolen by Jinping Gongzi? Later, it fell into the hands of the Blood Spring Ghost Clan, but how could it be born...... How to give birth to ......"

Shattered Moon tilted her head, and for the first time her face showed a look of surprise: "Lord Crow also knows about this?Yes, you mean that peacock demon fairy, right? Someone has heard Lord Rift Abyss say that he is a son, but he doesn't remember it." ”

Strange, Chi Tang remembered that Gongsun Fuying had said at the time that when he went to the ghost country to steal treasures, he did not alarm the four ghost guards, but took them by skill, but listened to the broken moon, is there another hidden meaning in this?

"Oh, yes, that peacock demon fairy is really powerful, as soon as he entered the realm of the ghost country, he was discovered by us, but one by one, we know that it is not his opponent, but if we join forces together, or launch a group of ghost troops to protect the country, but we are afraid of disturbing the whole ghost country, and we don't know his intentions, so we went to ask the king of the rift abyss. As a result, Lord Rift King didn't care at all, saying that a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and this son has no malice, so we pretended not to be aware of it, and just let him come and go freely. Fortunately, he really just took a piece of the Soul Crystal, and there was really no malice, and when he left, several of us were relieved. ”

Chi Tang became more and more confused: "Okay, I heard that the Spirit Xuanjing is the treasure of your country." ”

"It's the treasure of the town. ”

"The treasure of the town and the country was taken away, but you said it was okay?" Chi Tang was a little anxious, he came here to explore the secret, but this ghost spirit Xuanjing had been taken by Jinping Gongzi, the most unexpected thing was that he was actually close to this spirit Xuanjing, but he missed it and fell into the hands of the Blood Spring Ghost Clan, now that he thinks about it, he is really annoyed and depressed. But this broken moon still has a relaxed face, doesn't it make him even more anxious?

I didn't understand it at the beginning of the broken month, and looked at Chi Tang with a stunned face for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Oh, yes, Lord Crow is afraid that the treasure of this town and country will be gone, right?" Haha, the spirit Xuanjing is as big as a hill, and that peacock demon fairy just took away a small piece of it, which is not a drop, if a few adults like it, let Lord Rift Abyss King give you a few pieces as a souvenir when they leave." ”

Chi Tang was stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time.

Broken Moon also leaned over and whispered, "Oh, yes, by the way, the Soul Xuanjing has no longer had the effect of gathering souls after it came out of the Spirit Wall Hurricane Realm, it was just a stone that could emit colorful light on its own." ”
