Tang Jinglong's despicable behavior can be described as a cruel and ruthless portrayal of the world of immortality.
"The three of us will work in the ghost world for at least five years!" Zhu Lizhen said again.
Tang Jinglong sneered, "How dare you bargain over and over again when your life is in my hands?"
Xue Tong said hurriedly: "Whether it's five years or six years, let's settle the matter of entering the ghost world first and don't go too far."
Zhu Lizhen had no choice but to give up.
Tang Jinglong led the way into the depths of the valley.
He asked on the way: "In the past, there were only one or two groups of people coming to Yougu Road every year. However, in the past ten years, the number has decreased significantly. We haven't seen a group for a long time. What's going on outside?"
"With the war between humans and demons, fewer people come to the Valley Road." Xue Tong said.
"Talk about the battle between humans and demons!" Tang Jinglong shouted.
Xue Tong gave the summary.
"Old man Heyuan visited the rift in the Earth Demon Realm two hundred years ago. He didn't expect that a monster like Demon Hand was buried there," Tang Jinglong said.
"The ghost world tunnel in the valley won't release a large number of ghosts, right?" Xue Tong asked, thinking that it would be too troublesome for Yunxi Xuanjie to cause another war between humans and ghosts.
"No, the ghost tribe only stays in places with heavy Yin energy. Generally speaking, they do not interfere with the human race. Unless you are very unlucky and encounter an evil ghost tribe, they will invade the human world. I have been in the Valley Road for many years and have not found any evil ghosts wandering here. "Tang Jinglong said.
…
Youshi Valley.
In the dark valley, there is no sunlight all year round. The trees are all small gray-black trees, which survive by absorbing the unique dim light in the clouds.
Tang Jinglong has been operating in Youshi Valley for hundreds of years. The valley is secretive and the structure of the underground palace is complex. Xue Tong did not see any special "holes" connected to the ghost world along the way. It must be not far from the underground palace and was hidden and obscured by Tang Jinglong.
To go to the ghost world, you must first learn how to communicate with the ghost clan.
Similar to the human race's voice transmission, the ghost race uses different sound waves to speak.
Tang Jinglong gave a small booklet describing the vocalization methods and the "language" of the ghost tribe.
There are very few ghost words inside, only the simplest words. The words that are put together are like a six or seven-year-old child who can barely explain the meaning.
Tang Jinglong naturally refused to teach more.
"What is the purpose of Taoist priest going to the ghost world?" Xue Tong asked.
"The Ghost Clan of the Valley Dao has been suppressed. If you help them regain their lost territory, you will get a lot of benefits."
"Specific benefits, spiritual objects from the ghost world can be used," Zhu Lizhen couldn't help but ask.
"Except for being stained with ghost energy, it's exactly the same. If you don't like ghost energy, just buy my spiritual liquid at a cheap price to remove it." Tang Jinglong said.
"The ghost clan allows us to interfere," Xue Tong asked, picking up the original conversation.
"The ghost tribe is not very hostile to the human race. If you help them, they won't object."
"If we go in like this, we can easily find out that it's a human race. It's very inconvenient."
"Exactly, so we need to cover up. Even if we can't deceive all the ghosts, we must at least deceive the majority!"
Tang Jinglong took out a black bag, spread out several pieces of light clothing, and chanted a spell.
A ghost object flew out of the bag. Tang Jinglong flicked his fingers together, blasting the ghost's body with beams of light. The black ghost blood spilled out and soaked his clothes.
Tang Jinglong raised the bag, rolled up the clothes and the ghost aura, and said: "The clothes are stained with ghost blood and ghost aura. After one month of treatment, most of the ghost clan will not be able to identify them."
"It's similar to Xue's trick to get into the demon world!" Xue Tong secretly laughed.
Tang Jinglong took another pile of ointment, "Five bottles per person, apply it on your hair, face and hands every day. If you stick to it for a month, the color and smell of your skin will be the same as that of ordinary ghosts."
"Keep it up after entering the ghost world. The ointment is enough for three years. If it's not enough, I still have more."
Tang Jinglong has been preparing carefully for more than ten years, and today he finally gathered the manpower to go to the ghost world.
…
After three months.
Xue Tong and others learned the ghost language and changed into inner clothes.
"It smells weird and looks ugly!" Xue Tong said in ghost language.
Fan Ruhua chuckled, and Zhu Lizhen, who looked solemn, also raised the corners of his mouth.
After applying the ghost ointment for two months, several people's faces turned black and they looked like "dead people".
"It's almost time, let's go!"
The Ghost Realm Tunnel is located in the middle of the Youshi Valley and is hidden by the blinding circle.
Tang Jinglong kept muttering in his mouth, and several small-leaf trees gradually turned into shadows, revealing the unremarkable gray-black mountain wall.
Following the spell of Tang Jinglong, the mountain walls peeled off layer by layer, and the blinding magic circle was gone. At the foot of the mountain, a black stone cave with a height of more than ten feet was revealed, revealing the prototype.
The smoke at the entrance of the cave is misty, and the cold air is refreshing.
"I have been practicing hard for one hundred and fifty years, and now I can finally go to the ghost world."
Tang Jinglong's dark face showed uncontrollable excitement.
"Zhu Lizhen goes in first!" Tang Jinglong commanded.
The request was not too much. Zhu Lizhen took a step forward and was the first to walk into the black mist.
"call!"
Inhale it instantly and there will be no more noise.
…
Xue Tong's head was dizzy and he was confused for a long time. The scenery slowly unfolded before his eyes, and he was almost familiar with the scene in the valley.
The sky is gray and the full moon is high.
The whole world was dark, and everything was covered in gray and black, just like the scene when the silver moon rises in winter.
"The ghost world is also called the underworld, the underworld, and the ghost world. It connects to the heaven and the earth, and is divided into layers. The scope of the realm is unimaginable."
"The place we are in is called Tuoluo Territory. This is the map I got from the ghost tribe. Keep it."
After everyone gathered together, Tang Jinglong gave each of them a map and said.
Xue Tong unfolded the map and saw only a rough outline. He couldn't help but cursed: "The man named Tang has left something to be desired. Really good things never want to be shown to others."
"The outline of the Tuoluo Territory is unknown." Xue Tong asked.
"Yunxi is three times, and the sketch is only about the southeast."
"The tribe here originally lived in Gezhou, but they were driven into exile."
"Take the Zhuan boat and go to the nearest city of Yandu first."
Tang Jinglong took the lead and flew to the northwest.
The speed of the ship is faster than that of the human world, because the ghost world is empty and has less resistance.
Yandu City is twenty thousand miles away.
When the ship flies two to three thousand miles, it needs to replenish its mana and spiritual stones.
They changed three ships in a row and traveled halfway.
"Ghost clan!" Xue Tong suddenly said.
Fan Ruhua followed the direction of Xue Tong's finger and saw hundreds of stone houses covered in darkness.
Tang Jinglong's boat dived towards the ghost village.
Stopped at the entrance of the village.
"Don't be afraid of trouble when you enter the village. If you want to make a difference in Tuoluozhou, you need to make a name for yourself as soon as possible." Tang Jinglong said.
The levels of monks in the ghost world are the same as those in the demon world. The ghost king is the demon king, similar to the master in the human world.
"Tang Jinglong has a clear mind and if his conduct is better, we might be able to get along with him." Xue Tong thought to himself.
The villagers were surprised to see so many ghost kings coming.
"What happened recently?" asked the boss of Tang Jinglong's group, who was the most familiar with ghost language.
The villagers shook their heads.
Xue Tong sent a message: "Ask the villagers their wishes and if there is anything they need help solving."
When Tang Jinglong asked, an older ghost citizen said: "I turn in too many every year. Can Mr. Ghost Lord intercede with Yanduli Jun?"
"It's as easy as flipping a finger. Write a letter and I'll do it right now!" Tang Jinglong immediately agreed and said without saying a word.
Most of the ghosts are transformed from the dead, and a few beasts return to the underworld, condense their souls, and become members of the ghosts.
Therefore, the name of the ghost clan is no different from that of the human clan.
…
Yandu City is a big city in the vast hills.
The city wall was more than ten feet high. When the guards at the city gate saw Tang Jinglong swaggering towards him, they were afraid to give way.
"Take me to see Li Bing!"
Tang Jinglong pointed at the ghost and said.
"Young man has no right to see Master Li Bing." The ghost made his legs and feet tremble.
"Now that I'm here, you're qualified enough to meet me!"
Before Tang Jinglong made his move, the ghost was thrown into the ghost carriage by the city gate. Xue Tong led two more carriages and the three carriages rushed into Yandu City.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
The ghost shouted loudly, behind him was a ghost cultivator who was three levels higher than Li Bing!
In front of the city lord's mansion, a group of carriages rushed unscrupulously.
Before the ghost soldier could figure out the situation, he was pushed away with great force and fell several feet away.
Li Bing, in the middle period of Ghost King, was in charge of Yandu City.
"Master Tang is anxious to see me for these reasons."
In the lobby, more than ten ghost princes were lined up on the left and right. When Li Bing saw Tang Jinglong, he pointed at Xue Tong and others and said with profound meaning.
Tang Jinglong's ghost energy was abundant, and Li Bing did not notice the details of other clans; Xue Tong and others deceived the low-level ghost clan, but they could not hide it from Li Bing no matter what.
"Tang's surrendered subordinates are all willing to work for the ghost clan and restore Lizhou." Tang Jinglong avoided answering the question of humans and ghosts, and directly explained his purpose.
"oh"
Li Bing narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone carefully, "Master Tang has outstanding cultivation, but the others are not enough. It is not easy to recover Lizhou, and I can't rely on you."
"Master Li has the final say on whether this is okay or not. Tang suggested summoning Ancheng to discuss the plan together." Tang Jinglong said bluntly.
"Then you all will stay in the city for a while until Li delivers the message." Li Bing was not angry and said indifferently.
Xue Tong and others did not say a word during the whole process, and could only understand the general outline of the conversation.
He followed Tang Jinglong and moved into the compound.
"Why didn't the Taoist priest mention the reduction of the burden on the ghost people?" Xue Tong asked.
"Li Bing promised to talk about cooperation before it's too late. If we don't cooperate, it's meaningless. It's better to leave it for other purposes." Tang Jinglong said.
"Would it be difficult to cause trouble for Li Bing by leaving it for other purposes, and then accuse him of misbehavior?"
"You can't talk about the crime, but you can't escape the bad reputation."
"Li Binghui will overestimate his capabilities and cause trouble for us," Xue Tong asked.
"It's hard to say. Li Bing is self-righteous and has many ideas, otherwise he should have agreed to it long ago."
"More alert!"
"If there is no reply within ten days, we will leave and ask somewhere else." Tang Jinglong said coldly.
