A month later, with the help of Yan Long, Ximen Changqing finally repaired the damaged formation, so that the evil ghost clan could no longer enter the mortal world.
During the restoration process, Ximen Changqing gained a lot, and his formation level was greatly improved. At the same time, he also discovered the secret of the seal.
This interface seal has a backdoor. As long as you master the sealing circle, you can use this backdoor to freely enter and exit the evil ghost world and the mortal world.
In the process of repairing the array, Ximen Changqing naturally mastered the operating rules of the array, which meant that he could use the backdoor to freely enter and exit the two interfaces.
Ximen Changqing is quite curious about the evil ghost world. Since he has the ability to access the two interfaces, there is nothing to hesitate about. He must go there for a walk.
"Huowa, you can help Yanlong recover. I'll leave it to you to take care of him."
Ximen Changqing handed the Flame Dragon Mirror to Huo Wa and put them into the Nine Heavens Space.
Later, Ximen Changqing left the underground cave and met with the elders on Tianwu Island.
At this moment, Tianwu Island has changed greatly. The Ximen family has completely occupied it and carried out post-war restoration. The spiritual fields and medicine gardens have also been used.
"Changqing, how is the formation repaired?"
Ximen Zangjian asked.
"Ancestor, the formation has been repaired. The evil ghost clan can no longer enter the mortal world. In addition, we can use the backdoor of the formation to enter the evil ghost world at any time."
Ximen Changqing's answer made all the elders' eyes light up. The evil ghost was full of materials, which were spiritual materials for refining weapons.
If the clan members can go to the evil ghost world from time to time to hunt evil ghosts, it will definitely have a huge effect on improving the family's strength.
"It's great to be able to enter and exit the evil ghost world freely. Otherwise, let's go over and have a look."
Ximen Zangjian proposed that he would take the core tribe members to the evil ghost world.
At this moment, half of the Yuanying clan members have left, and the only remaining Yuanying clan members on Tianwu Island are Ximen Changqing, Ximen Zangjian, Ximen Changkong, and Ximen Yunfei.
There are more people from the Jiedan tribe, more than thirty people. However, no one knows what the situation is in the evil ghost world. It is too dangerous to take the Jiedan tribe there.
"Ancestor, the four of us go in and explore the path first. There are fifth-level evil ghosts in this evil ghost world. It is definitely a dangerous place."
Ximen Changqing looked serious, but decided to take a look.
The four of them made some preparations, walked out of the underground cave, and saw the terrifying statue inside.
"Tianwu Island has been recovered, why are these statues left? This place needs to be renovated."
Ximen Changkong took action and blasted all the statues into pieces, and sent an order to the tribesmen outside to transform the underground caves.
Ximen Changqing was busy manipulating the formation and told the three Ximen Cangjian people how to open the passage so that they could master the method of entry and exit.
"The back door is open, I'll go in first."
Ximen Changqing took the lead in entering personally, followed closely by Ximen Zangjian and the other three.
Crossing the interface passage, they entered a cave filled with gloomy energy, which made people very uncomfortable.
There is no light in the cave, and there are no evil spirits. There are only hard stones on the rock wall.
The four of them took out the moonstone and illuminated the cave, barely able to see the basic conditions of the entire cave.
"This is not a clan of evil spirits. When I enter the mortal world, I can't smell the slightest scent of evil spirits."
Ximen Changqing quickly made a judgment and confirmed the safety of the cave.
"The Three Emperors are so clever that they still have such a hand. The rocks on this rock wall contain a lot of black-grained stones, which can block the detection of spiritual consciousness."
Ximen Zangjian smashed a stone from the rock wall and observed it carefully.
"Such a big cave is more than enough to garrison a thousand people. Let's find an exit quickly! It's too dark here."
Ximen Changkong directly released the Fire Bird Technique to illuminate the cave clearly in order to find the exit.
The four of them searched separately and soon found the exit and walked into a valley with dense vegetation.
The tall trees in the valley are very different from those in the mortal world. The leaves are dark green, while most of the leaves in the mortal world are light green.
The sunlight in the sky is very weak. Whenever the clouds pass by, the entire valley seems to have entered the dark night. There are so many clouds in the sky that they will block the weak sun from time to time.
"This is the world of evil spirits. It's really gloomy. The light is too weak. It's probably very difficult for humans to survive."
"Yes! The light is already weak, and it is blocked by clouds from time to time. There is no sunlight for the trees, so the leaves naturally grow black and green."
"There is a camouflage circle at the entrance of the cave, so it is not easy to be discovered. Let's go outside the valley and take a look, at least to understand the general situation of the evil ghost world."
The four of them escaped from the valley and searched around the evil ghost world.
In fact, Ximen Changqing knows the most about the situation in the evil ghost world. He has searched the souls of evil ghosts many times and learned a lot about the situation in the evil ghost world.
However, these information are too fragmented, and it is far better to investigate them yourself.
According to the soul search for evil ghosts, there are human beings living in the evil ghost world. However, these human races living in the evil ghost world are all the blood food of the evil ghost clan.
Their lives are extremely miserable. Not only do they have to breed blood animals for the evil ghost clan, but they themselves are also the blood food of the evil ghost clan.
Resist! That is impossible. The evil ghost clan occupies an absolute dominant position in the evil ghost world. The human race is only numerous in number, but does not have enough strength to fight against the evil ghost clan.
Moreover, the evil ghost world is rich in yin energy and has many high-level yin veins, which is very suitable for the evil ghost clan to practice, but it is very inappropriate for the human race who rely on spiritual energy to practice.
Only the ghost cultivators who are responsible for managing the huge human race can have the opportunity to practice. They only need to practice the evil ghost clan's skills and absorb the yin energy from the yin veins.
These ghost cultivators are the slaves and thugs of the evil ghost clan, responsible for managing and suppressing the huge human race group.
Although they are also human beings, they are extremely cruel to their fellow humans, and like evil ghosts, they will kill disobedient human beings at will.
In the evil ghost world, ghost cultivators account for only one ten thousandth of the human race. This means that one ghost cultivator has to manage at least 10,000 human beings, which is a huge power.
"There are humans grazing ahead, and there are actually humans in this ghost place."
Ximen Changkong saw several human race people in the distance driving hundreds of black livestock.
"Come on, let's go over and ask about the situation."
In order to avoid scaring the human race people in front, the four people approached on foot and walked over.
"Excuse me, brother, what kind of animals are these black animals?"
Ximen Yunfei pointed to hundreds of livestock and asked.
The three human race people looked at the four people and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no malicious intent.
"You are from outside the mansion, right! You actually don't even recognize Kurobutanmon. Everyone in our Kurobutan Mansion doesn't know Kurobutanmon."
A human race citizen showed a little surprise on his bloodless face.
After living for so many years, he rarely met people from other provinces. Under the high-pressure rule of evil ghosts and ghost cultivators, almost all human beings could not leave their birthplace until they became the food of evil ghosts.
"Brother, you are right. We are not from the Black Dolphin Mansion. We came from far away. What is the situation in the Black Dolphin Mansion? How many humans are there?"
Ximen Yunfei asked curiously.
These human race people were quite enthusiastic and told everything they knew without hiding anything.
In the evil ghost world, a government is equivalent to a county in the mortal world. It is the basic ruling unit and has a population of about one million.
The number of ghost cultivators responsible for ruling ranges from fifty to one hundred, while the number of evil ghosts exceeds one hundred.
The cultivation level of the ghost cultivators stationed in various mansions is generally not high. Most of them are at the first level. There will be no more than ten people who can reach the second level. There will be no third level ghost cultivators.
In order to frighten the ghost cultivators, each mansion will have a third-level evil ghost, who is the real ruler of the mansion and is superior to the ghost cultivators.
One third-level evil ghost, an army of more than a hundred evil ghosts, and a team of nearly a hundred ghost cultivators can control the entire combat power of a million people.
With such an evil force existing, ordinary people have no ability to resist and can only let it be their prey.
These three human beings belong to a family with more than a thousand people. They are mainly responsible for grazing cattle and raising black dolphin beasts for the evil ghost clan.
They must hand over a thousand black dolphin beasts every year, and at the same time, they must hand over ten tribesmen as blood food.
They could barely do it by handing over a thousand black dolphin beasts, but selecting ten people from the clan every year to be the blood food of the evil spirits was the most painful thing for them.
Every time you select a clan member, you have to go through a series of quarrels and crying. Some clan members are willing to die, while others cry for help.
Scenes of life and death, which happen once a year, sting the hearts of each of them.
If they are very unlucky and catch the evil ghost general hunting, their entire family may be wiped out.
It's just that the evil ghost clan has been strictly restricting the indiscriminate killing of human beings. Each hunting can only kill a maximum of one hundred human beings.
After all, they are not good at business. If they kill all the humans, a large number of their people will starve to death.
It is impossible to expect them to raise livestock on their own. There was once a team of evil spirits responsible for raising livestock. In less than a month, part of the black dolphin beasts were eaten by them, some escaped, and some died of illness, leaving no one left.
In other words, the evil ghost clan needs humans. Only the management capabilities of humans can keep their clan in large numbers.
The billions of enslaved human race people are the cornerstone of the evil ghost clan's strength.
It is the human race that feeds the huge evil ghost clan, but the evil ghosts are not only ungrateful, but also exploit and enslave the human race as much as possible, treating the human race as slaves and blood food.
"To be honest with you four, the handover date will come in a few days. One thousand black dolphin beasts are ready, but the ten tribesmen have not been decided yet, alas!"
After saying that, the three human race people all looked sad, not knowing what to choose.
The four of them, Ximen Changqing, exchanged messages and decided to visit this family.
The three human race people did not refuse the four people's requests. Life was already so miserable, so it was a joy to have guests visit.
A journey of thirty miles is nothing to the people who graze herds all year round, and the four people of Ximen Changqing are even less stressed.
"Four guests, our family is in front of us. The clan members are cooking. We can start eating soon."
Even though you are in a bad mood, you still have to eat when you need to.
"Nijia Village! A village where family is the bond. The whole village is one family, which is great."
Seeing the sign at the entrance of the village, Ximen Changqing spoke calmly.
Soon, a group of children ran over, with expressions on their faces full of curiosity.
Although this family faces annual hardships, for children who know nothing, being able to eat and play is happiness.
Due to the environment, the faces of these children were bloodless, and the same was true for the adults. Their faces were all quite pale, giving people a strange feeling.
But this is just the appearance. The appearance characteristics caused by the environment do not mean that the human race here is any different from the mortal world.
They are also very enthusiastic about their guests, they also have family affection, friendship, and love, and they can be sad, sad, and in pain.
The only difference is that the appearance is slightly different from the human race in the mortal world.
For people who live in high-pressure terror, having strangers visit is a joyful thing.
The hospitable children circled around the four Ximen family members, looking curiously at the four strangers who looked a little different.
"Black bamboo shoots, black leafy vegetables, Yin Ya grass, gray flour cake, our Ni family only has these few ingredients, which made the four of us laugh."
An old man with a white beard and an old face politely invited the four of them to dinner.
"Senior, don't you raise a lot of Kurobutamon? Why don't you eat Kurobutamon?"
Ximen Changqing asked curiously.
"I'm afraid the four of you are not from the sky! I have lived for most of my life, and I have never heard that humans can eat meat, not even those high-ranking adults."
The old man looked at the four people doubtfully, and the more he looked, the more strange he felt.
As for the adults he was talking about, they were naturally demon cultivators who had taken refuge in the evil ghost clan. They could only eat vegetarian food, and meat was the exclusive food of the evil ghost clan.
"Humans can only eat vegetarian food?"
The four members of the Ximen family were all shocked. Ximen Changqing explained: "Senior, we come from a far away place where humans can eat meat."
"Oh, that must be far away!"
The old man was about to ask more about things far away, but he was asked to leave by several anxious-looking old men.
All four of them understood that it was a matter of selecting ten clan members.
Every year, ten members of the clan must be handed over to feed the evil ghost clan. This is really cruel and excessive.
The food in the Ni family was of no use to the four people in the Ximen family. On the contrary, it was harmful. After the four people ate a little, they used their true energy to force it out.
Soon, there were quarreling and crying sounds outside, including the roars of strong men, the crying of children, and of course, the sobbing of women and the pleading of old people.
"Come on, let's go out and take a look."
Ximen Changqing and the others walked out of the room and saw dozens of Mu family members gathered in the courtyard.
Six white-haired old men, three sick women, and a child with disabled legs and feet were selected by the tribe as this year's tribute.
No one is willing to die, everyone wants to live. The six old people just cried without any complaints.
A woman's husband, holding a several-month-old baby in his arms, looked at several clan elders angrily and shouted filial piety from time to time.
A child with disabled legs and feet kept crying, surrounded by parents who had fainted from crying.
"Leave the woman and the child behind! There are four places for the four of us."
Seeing the tragedy in front of him, Ximen Changqing spoke easily.
