Chapter 15, the vast Huangquan Road

Huangquan Road is the only passage leading to Fengdu, and the yellow sand on the road is continuous, and there is no end in sight, as if it is connected with the sky. A gust of cloudy wind blew, and the yellow sand covered the sky, making people unable to open their eyes. Without the guidance of black and white impermanence, almost no soul can reach Fengdu on its own.

The inside and outside of Fengdu City are two extremes, eternal night inside the city and eternal day outside the city. There was no light in the city, but fortunately, there was enough phosphorus fire floating in the sky to not affect the vision. The light outside the city comes from the sun, because the dividing point between the underworld and the sun is where the sun rises and sets. The sun alternates here, so there is no night.

At the edge of the stretching sea of sand, a lonely house stood very conspicuous, which was the entrance to Huangquan Road. Here, many new souls who choose to end their lives or die unexpectedly can be pulled by black and white impermanence so that they do not get lost in the sea of sand.

When the Earth Monarch arrived, Black and White Impermanence on the fifteenth was busy lining up a few new souls. "Come on, come on, it's all lined up, since you chose to get here early, you have to listen to the command. I said the hanged one, can you put your tongue away, don't compare the length of your tongue with us. There is also the one who jumps off the cliff, and then lines up with his head straightened, your head is in the line, but your body is outside the line. Black impermanence chattered, and white impermanence tied a leash to them.

Tianlu still stopped behind the black and white impermanence without moving, and the huge figure blocked the light.

The fifteenth saw that he was suddenly shrouded in shadows and looked up at the sky. "Could it be that this tengu is tired of eating the moon and eating the sun instead?" said to himself.

"I said Dijun, your underworld is full of ghosts, and this fifteenth little black can sing a one-man show. Jinzhu looked at the black impermanence who was talking to himself, and teased.

Hearing Jinzhu's voice, Hei Wuchang quickly turned his head. Because the speed was too fast, the long tongue almost landed on Tianlu's leg. Tianlu hurriedly took a step back, showing his disgust to the fullest.

"Meet the Earth Lord. The two ghosts said in unison.

"Well, where did the rest of the black and white impermanence go?" Dijun sat on Tianlu's back, and had no intention of coming down.

"Back to Dijun, they haven't come back yet, but it's almost time. The white impermanence replied with a blank look.

"Hasn't the number of living souls here increased today compared to the past?" the Earth Monarch was faintly worried. A large city, hundreds of thousands of souls, how can there be only these few queues. And except for one of the people in this team who drowned, the rest were for other reasons. Based on the time they died, they should have arrived here a long time ago.

"No, it used to be about that much every day, but today it hasn't changed much. Black Impermanence grinned, on his dark face, the eyes that only had the whites of his eyes were bent into a crescent shape, how terrifying to look at. "Is Dijun here to inspect the work today? Dijun rest assured, we are all serious and responsible, and our professionalism does not allow us to be lazy. ”

As he spoke, No. 16 returned in black and white. I was overjoyed to see the king. "Dijun Dijun, it's not good. Black Impermanence shouted on the sixteenth.

"Ben Jun is very good, why make you so flustered. Seeing his fiery appearance, Dijun frowned slightly.

"Meet the Earth King. When we returned, we found a large group of spirits heading into the middle of the sea of sand. I wanted to check it out, but I thought that the Dijun had explained that any situation over there must be reported first, and I couldn't act without permission, so I let the seventeenth continue to squat and observe, and the eighteenth went back to the underworld to deliver a letter, but I didn't expect you to be here. Bai Wuchang briefly described what they saw.

"Can you see who is leading the team?" Dijun knew that it should be the people he was looking for.

"I don't see it clearly, the line is too long. Black Impermanence said. "Even the other two Bai Wuchang can't see it. ”

There is a reason why this black-and-white impermanence appears in pairs. Black impermanence only has the whites of their eyes, and even their pupils are white, which is also the only white on their bodies. Black Impermanence has a short vision like a human, but it has excellent hearing that humans do not have.

Whereas, Bai Wuchang does not have the whites of the eyes, and the large, black eyeballs occupy the entire eye socket, so their eyesight is very good. Although it can't be said that there are thousands of miles at a glance, there are a hundred miles at a glance. Of course, the hearing of white impermanence is like clouds and mud compared to black impermanence.

After listening to Hei Wuchang's words, Dijun's brows furrowed even deeper, and he was almost about to screw them together. Although he had already guessed what was going on, after thinking about it for a while, Dijun decided to go and see it for himself.

In the sea of sand flying wantonly, a long dragon composed of new souls stretches for thousands of miles. Although it is a soul, the new soul that has just died should be conscious, and the people in this team are like marionettes, with stiff limbs and rigid movements.

"There are quirks. Jinzhu couldn't help but say. "Why do you say these souls are unconscious, but they can line up so neatly, moving in the same direction?"

"The soul is not complete, these should only be half-souls. And without the yang qi body, it is easy to be eaten by lonely souls and wild ghosts. The Dijun replied.

"Could it be that these people have already sucked their souls before?" Jinzhu thought for a moment, there should be only this possibility.

"I'm just guessing. The water released by the locust tree spirit was strange, not only could take their lives, but also swallowed up part of their souls. The earth monarch looked at these souls and felt a little remorseful. Gently stroking the scroll, Dijun thought to himself, if his sister was still there, this underworld might not be divided into two, and he could also place these souls. But he already has a tacit understanding with the ghost king, and the souls who are lost in the sand sea or do not want to enter the underworld return to the ghost city.

Since the fall of his father, the underworld has been taken care of by the elder sister of the earthly monarch, the female monarch of Tuyao. Later, the female monarch had an accident, her soul was scattered, and the underworld was in chaos, and the ghost king set himself up as king at this time. Over the years, Dijun has not thought about taking back the ghost town, but when he thought of the female monarch's previous instructions not to touch the lonely souls and wild ghosts outside the city, Dijun put away his thoughts, and everything was still decided when his sister came back.

"I have a hunch that it's not as simple as it seems. Jinzhu analyzed what had happened today. "If the water can suck the soul, why don't we suck it all up? Moreover, none of these mutilated souls passed through the pass of Huangquan Road, which is also a problem. ”

"Since you don't know, let's find out. The Earth Monarch released a wisp of his divine sense, and then attached it to the new souls in the team.

Deep in the sand sea, a circular barrier separates the raging yellow sand, and a small castle sits in the center, and in the center stands a sagaga palace. At this time, the entrance outside the city became a pot of porridge, looking at the steady stream of new souls, the little ghosts guarding were frightened. "Hurry up, hurry up, go and report to the Ghost King. There are so many souls, and there is no yang qi to protect the body, which is to cause civil strife in our ghost city. ”

Soon after, the legendary Ghost King appeared inside the barrier. "What's going on?"

"Tell the Ghost King, we don't know. "The imp is at a loss.

The Ghost King and the Dharma Protector beside him came out of the barrier. "Hmm, how come all of them have been extracted. ”

"No wonder it doesn't look right. So what now, let these half-souls clump here?" said the Dharma Protector. "Since you established the ghost town, it has been clearly stipulated that you are not allowed to suck new souls, but the smell emitted by such a large number of half-souls is easy for the little ghosts to get out of control, and when the time comes, they will break out of the barrier and eat them cleanly. ”

"Let's check it out first and see what caused so many half-souls to pour in at once. The Ghost King commanded.

"Then you still need to check, it must be the ghost of the land. We are not bound by him, and sooner or later we will come out and clean us up. He definitely wants us to mess ourselves up and then attack us. The Dharma Protector said casually. "And such a big movement, can he not know?"

The ghost king didn't answer, as if he was thinking about something, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth again. "This king thinks that things are not so simple. As the ruler of the earth, these are equivalent to his people, and he is not so. Generally, the only ones who like to extract living souls are demons. ”

"That Demon Lord has been dead with the Ancestor for an unknown number of years, and the Demon Clan was almost wiped out at that time, and the rest were trapped in the extreme north by the Heavenly Monarch and could not come out, how could it be related to the Demon Clan?"

"Demons will not be wiped out, as long as there are desires, there will be demons. "When it comes to the demons, the Ghost King is a little worried. "Anyway, you send someone to see where these spirits come from, and then check if they have been to the Huangquan intersection. As for the Dijun, pay attention to it first. "The Ghost King has arrived.

"And what about these living souls?"

"They have to be placed, they don't have a barrier to protect them, and after a long time they will be petrified and turned into grains of sand. Of course, they can't be let into the city, if the ghost town is chaotic, it will be troublesome. The Ghost King took out a flag and sacrificed it, and it instantly became larger, covering the sky and the sun, and then the wind blew fiercely, and after a while, those souls disappeared cleanly. If the Dijun's divine consciousness hadn't been collected quickly, he would have almost been swept in. "This is a Soul Gathering Flag, take them in first, and release them when you think of a way. ”
