Ghost Dao is a system that has been passed down since the prehistoric period, but it has been discontinued in ancient times. Although there are some forces that exist, they have always been unknown because there is no one to carry the cauldron.
Until the Tang Dynasty, there was a ghost monk named Jian Hai who used the secret method of ghost to control hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts. He entered the Central Plains from the southern border and wreaked havoc along the way, leaving ruins and scorched earth wherever he passed.
At that time, in order to fight against the 100,000 ferocious beasts led by Jian Hai, the Central Plains martial arts and the royal family of the Tang Dynasty had to unite. After hundreds of thousands of people were killed or injured, Jian Hai was finally killed by beheading tactics, and the catastrophe was resolved.
Because Jianhai's Kidou spells were too terrifying in this battle, from that time on, Kidou was vigorously suppressed, and countless Kidou sects were uprooted.
It wasn't until the war of resistance that year that the major forces of Ghost Dao also participated and sacrificed countless people, which made their situation a little better. Although they were still discriminated against and feared, at least they were no longer suppressed in various ways like before. .
Although it is said that Kedōkai has been suppressed for thousands of years because of Kedōkai, Kedōkai is the first person since ancient times to let the name of Kidō shock the world. Therefore, since then, Kedōkai has also been revered by the cultivators of all generations. An ancestor-level figure.
After clicking his tongue twice, Shi Chishang looked at Yu Lewei and sighed: "Our Patriarch Jian Hai is quite interesting!"
Smiling, Yu Lewei said softly: "This Patriarch Jianhai is my father's idol."
Shi Chi Shang was startled and then stopped laughing. Could it be that the fish turned into a dragon and still planned to be the admonishing sea?
This is not ancient times. In modern society, it is almost difficult for an individual to make waves with his own strength, let alone fight against the country on his own.
Shaking his head, Shi Chishang put his thoughts into the jade slip again and continued to read the rest of the content.
Most of the subsequent information is common sense information, such as how to judge other people's cultivation, the eight taboos of Taoism, and so on.
Among them, Shi Chishang read it carefully several times about the different uses of ghost energy by the major forces in the ghost world.
If a ghost monk wants to practice, in addition to the ghost energy in the human world, the most suitable thing for cultivation is undoubtedly the ghost energy born from the origin of the ghost world. The ghost energy spreads to the seven realms and Liuhe, transforms into thousands of things, and merges with the taiyin to transform into yin energy. , participate in death and become angry for death.
In the prehistoric era, ghosts were all over the world, relying on the vicious thoughts in ghost energy that penetrated into other people's hearts and souls. However, regardless of other people's defenses, neither true energy nor spiritual power could stop the brazen attack of ghosts' sorcery.
It’s just that since the dawn of time, ghost ways have gradually declined in the human world. In addition, after the catastrophe caused by Jianhai, ghost ways have suffered a severe blow. To this day, ghost ways in the human world are no longer pure ghost ways. Rather, it is a combination of the characteristics of many systems such as warriors, Taoists, and cultivators.
For example, the Yin Yang Sect where Yu Lewei belongs, although it is based on ghost magic, is supplemented by Taoist Yin and Yang techniques to divide the yin and yang qi, and the ghost power circulates and circulates endlessly.
And their destination this time, the Xuanyuan family, who are in charge of Fengdu Ghost City, claim to be descendants of Huangdi Xuanyuan. They practice the "Huangdi Secret Ghost Record" handed down by Huangdi himself. They use royal energy to transform ghost energy, and are evil and sycophantic. , even more grand.
Thinking of this, Shi Chishang secretly thought about his own cultivation. The "Soul Evolution" in his mind was infinitely mysterious and could be said to be many times more advanced than the Taoist inner alchemy.
But for some reason, "Soul Evolution" doesn't seem to have too many offensive methods, but more of an effect of nourishing oneself and strengthening one's foundation.
"We still lack some means to fight the enemy." Shi Chishang said softly.
"What?" He muttered to himself. Yu Lewei was looking at her phone again. She heard what he seemed to have said and couldn't help but look confused.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking to myself." Shi Chishang smiled slightly but did not answer.
Naturally, it was not easy to practice on the high-speed train. The two ordered a packed lunch and started chatting after eating. They had not seen each other for many years, so there were endless topics to talk about. However, they had a tacit understanding. None of them mentioned the time when Yu Lewei left without saying goodbye. Something else.
Twelve hours later, the high-speed train slowly entered Fengdu Railway Station.
As soon as the two got out of the car, a group of scalpers came towards them, shouting in local dialect whether they wanted accommodation or a ride.
Seeing a large number of scalpers blocking the road, Yu Lewei and Shi Chishang couldn't help but smile at each other, as if they were back in college during the holidays. With a tacit understanding, Shi Chishang carried Yu Lewei's backpack and walked ahead, while Yu Lewei carried his hands behind his back. Following behind, all the scalpers who wanted to squeeze in and shout were blocked by Shi Chishang.
After fighting for a while, the two finally got through the crowd. Shi Chishang was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know how to get to Fengdu. He looked directly at Yu Lewei, who had obviously been here before. He waved his hand and led Shi Chishang there. After walking around the station for a while, I came to the roadside and got into a taxi.
After getting in the car, Yu Lewei reported the name of the place, then lowered her head and looked at her phone.
Shi Chishang turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Unlike the flat rivers in the Jiangnan water town, Fengdu is a mountain city. The entire city is almost composed of hills one after another. Taxis are constantly going up and down hills. Shi Chishang feels this kind of roller coaster for the first time, and the adrenaline rush It also rises and falls, which is quite exciting.
More than half an hour later, Shi Chishang suddenly felt something and frowned. Before he could speak, Yu Lewei, who was playing with her phone with her head down, had already said with a faint smile: "Don't be nervous."
Shi Chishang nodded when he heard the words, and the vigilance in his eyes weakened slightly.
Just now, he suddenly noticed waves of ghostly aura emerging around him. Even among the crowds on the street next to him, there were many people exuding ghostly aura. They were obviously ghost monks.
Because we were in a taxi, Shi Chishang didn't have much time to ask.
A moment later, the taxi stopped in front of a hotel. After the two got out of the car, Shi Chishang couldn't help but shiver. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he was suddenly in such a ghostly place. He felt extremely uncomfortable. It was like suddenly entering an ice cave, freezing cold.
"You'll get used to it gradually," Yu Lewei saw that he was uncomfortable, and smiled, "When we get to the cave, there will only be ghost energy left in it."
Shi Chishang nodded slightly and followed Yu Lewei into the hotel one after another.
They had just entered the hotel when a waiter came towards them and said with a smile: "Hello you two, may I ask about accommodation..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Lewei raised her hand, showed a token, and said calmly: "Go to the cave."
Seeing the token with the word "Underworld" engraved on it, the waiter's expression changed slightly and he said respectfully: "It turns out it's two adults, please come this way." As he spoke, he turned around and got out of the way, leading the two of them to the elevator. go.
Seeing Shi Chishang looking around, Yu Lewei smiled and said: "This is the entrance to Fengdu. In order to avoid suspicion from the outside world, this hotel was specially built. Those who have no money to stay in the cave will come back here to rest. "
Seeing that Chi Shang didn't quite understand, Yu Lewei could only explain it carefully.
It turns out that because this cave is connected to the ghost world, the ghosts inside are not only numerous, but also very powerful. In order to protect themselves, the controller of the cave specially built Fengdu Ghost City. In addition to preventing ghosts from invading, it is also used for trading and living. , for practice.
It's just that if you want to enter the cave, you need to pay a ticket-like fee, and the tickets are time-limited. If you want to live inside, you have to pay more expensive fees.
Shi Chishang had some inkling that this kind of place with strong ghost energy would undoubtedly be of great help to the cultivation of ghost practitioners. It's no wonder that some people want to stay in it even at a high price.
The waiter took the two people to the elevator entrance, pressed the down button, and said with a smile: "Is this your first time coming to Fengdu? You probably don't know many directions yet. We have a guide here. As long as Three pieces of inferior quality…”
"No need," Yu Lewei's voice suddenly turned cold, and a hint of indifference appeared on her pretty face, "We know the way."
Yu Lewei and Shi Chi Shang were still talking to each other in front of them, but suddenly they became indifferent. The waiter was also startled, and then he smiled and stuffed the half-drawn manual back into his pocket.
Shi Chishang had long been accustomed to this senior's cold and arrogant attitude towards outsiders, and did not take it seriously.
When the elevator arrived, the three of them stepped in one after another. The waiter took out a card and swiped it, then pressed the "V" key, and the elevator slowly descended.
As they continued to fall, Shi Chishang keenly noticed that the yin energy around them was gradually increasing.
After a while, the elevator finally stopped. When the elevator door suddenly opened, Shi Chishang felt a vast ghostly aura pouring in from outside the door like a roaring river.
The moment he was overwhelmed by the ghost energy, he instinctively operated "Soul Evolution", and the ghost energy rolled into the center of his eyebrows. This position is extremely critical. Taoists and cultivators call it Zifu, while ghosts call it Hun. Mansion means the place where the heart and soul live.
As a large amount of ghost energy submerged into it, Shi Chishang's original state in the early stage of the Moon Wash was also loosened, as if he was about to break through to the middle stage of the Moon Wash.
"Get a hold of yourself!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Lewei suddenly reached out and patted his shoulder, breaking his tendency to make a breakthrough.
As a cultivator, interrupting other people's breakthroughs can be said to be a hatred comparable to killing one's father and taking away one's mother. However, Shi Chishang knew in his heart that Yu Lewei would never harm him and was not angry. He just looked at him in confusion.
Yu Lewei said solemnly: "What you need now is not ghost energy, but the purest lunar energy. There are too many impurities in these ghost energy, so don't absorb too much."
Shi Chishang understood, and immediately his body trembled. The ghost energy that had just been sucked into his eyebrows was actually repelled by his energy.
Yu Lewei handed him a pill and told him to take it, then turned and walked out of the elevator. Seeing this, Shi Chishang stuffed the pill into his mouth and walked out.
There seemed to be a ban on the elevator entrance. I hadn't heard anything in the elevator before, but once I stepped out of the elevator, Shi Chishang's ears were suddenly overwhelmed by the noise. He looked around and saw an antique street. It has gray tile eaves and vermilion painted pillars, and on both sides are shops selling various medicines and equipment.
Shi Chishang glanced at it and saw that the clothes of the passers-by could be described as both ancient and modern. Some were in suits and leather shoes, some were in robes and boots, and some were wearing cloaks. Their appearance and clothing could not be seen clearly, making them quite mysterious.
Seeing Shi Chi Shang's indifferent expression, Yu Lewei smiled and asked, "You don't seem too surprised."
Shrugging his shoulders, Shi Chishang said with a smile: "Apart from the ghostly energy, there is nothing special here."
Yu Lewei couldn't help but smile. Indeed, as a land of plenty, Jiaxing was used to seeing scenic spots such as the Yue River, Wuzhen, and Xitang, and really had no interest in such purely classical scenery.
The place they came out of was a towering mountain. There were eight elevator doors on the mountain wall. It seemed that the elevator they just took came here through this mountain.
Instructing Shi Chishang to follow him, Yu Lewei said as he walked: "Fengdu is divided into two urban areas, the inner and outer areas. There are trading bazaars on the periphery. The things here are more complicated, and the ones farther away will be divided into finer parts, such as Dan. Medicines, magic weapons, exercises, and talismans all have special sales areas.”
"As for the inner city, they are all inns," Yu Lewei pointed in the direction and said with a smile, "If you want to stay for one night, the cheapest one costs ten low-grade spiritual stones, so except for some rich people, most people will take the bus at night. Take the elevator back to the previous hotel to rest and come down again during the day.”
Shi Chishang glanced at the sky and asked doubtfully: "Is there day and night here too?"
"Of course," Yu Lewei said with a smile, "but there is no sun here. Day and night are only distinguished by time. You will know it after a long time. Come on, I will take you somewhere first."
