Dongming City sleeps in darkness. Where there is light, there are six parts of the cabinet, a dendrobium bead, a silver hook square, a song of silence, and a red star merit hall. Where there is no light, there are ghosts and shadows, and there is a dense gloom.
No one slept tonight. All the monks left Dongming City and gathered together in twos and threes. They stood on a high place overlooking the city, pointing and whispering.
On the lonely long street, a tall man walked with a bamboo pole in his hand. Wherever he passed, the candlelight disappeared one by one. The last light in Dongming City gradually extinguished. A shadow thicker than darkness enveloped everything, and the wind whimpered. , weeping and complaining, after so many years, I can finally no longer be depressed, no longer cower, and can cry as much as I want, one sad ghost cry followed by another desolate ghost cry, one after another, one after another, connected under the eternal night sky.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, thousands of ghosts swarmed out, bathed in the cold air, and screamed sadly. There are three hundred and sixty-five days a year, except for the Ghost Festival on July 15, there are three hundred and sixty-four days and nights. They hide underground, endure hunger and thirst, perform hard labor, and serve as the eyes, ears, and mouth of the ghost king. The ghost king's hands, this time, the mountains pressing on their shoulders have disappeared, and they can finally vent unscrupulously, even if they will sink again soon.
Xu Hu stopped and looked up at Wei Shiqi, staring at him with dry eye sockets, as if nothing happened.
Wei Shiqi made a gesture to him. Xu Hu lowered his head, opened his arms, and gradually submerged the soles of his feet into the soil. He chanted a spell, and his body merged with Dongming City, continuously drawing out the energy of the earth's veins. The "Four Eyes" buried deep in the cave woke up from their deep sleep, trembling slightly, becoming more and more violent, and suddenly jumped upwards and swam towards Xu Hu's location.
The energy of the earth's veins passed through the heavy earth and rocks, connecting Xu Hu and the "Four Eyes". Xu Hu's legs sank, as if he had hung up seventy or eighty drowned ghosts, sinking into the earth bit by bit, every time he sank. , the body becomes more integrated with Dongming City. There was an uneasy look on his face. If he completely merged with Dongming City, his will would disappear and become a part of this cavernous ghost city. He could not accept such a fate. Even a ghost wanted to keep himself, but he forcibly extracted the earth veins. Qi is like sailing against the current. Once you start, you cannot relax, otherwise, you will fall into the abyss at a faster speed.
Ankles, calves, knees, thighs, the body continues to sink, but the spirit of the "four eyes" has greatly increased, with the intention of breaking free, reluctantly, taking one step forward, three steps back, like a big fish on the hook, trying its best to swim back to the cave. , Xu Hu raised his head in despair, stretched out his hands to try to grab something, trembling like withered leaves in the wind.
At the critical moment, Wei Shiqi extended a helping hand, stepped behind him in the air, spread his fingers and grabbed him in the air. All the "soul eyes" around his body lit up, and the power of the soul spurted out. Xu Hu felt his shoulders tighten. , rising up involuntarily, like pulling out a carrot, forcefully drilling out of the ground. He breathed a long sigh of relief, gathered his mind, and concentrated on absorbing the energy of the earth's veins, no longer caring about anything else.
After a while, his body swelled, and his muscles and bones were quenched by the energy of the earth's veins. From head to toe, every pore was full of strength. Xu Hu was surprised and happy, as drunk as drinking mellow wine, and even his eye sockets that had been dry for many years were faintly... I feel itchy and my eyes seem to be coming back to life.
The "Four Eyes" twisted desperately in the ground, but in the end they were no longer stronger than the combined efforts of Xu and Wei. The struggle was relieved, and suddenly penetrated the earth and stone, and with lightning, penetrated into Xu Hu's body from the Yongquan point on the sole of Xu Hu's right foot. . An abundant energy of the Earth's veins rushed left and right, sweeping through the whole body. Xu Hu's eye sockets felt sharp pain, and he suddenly stretched out a pair of hands. His fingers were flexed, and there were two eyes in the palms. The divine light was like lightning, shining through the netherworld. .
Wei Shiqi laughed "haha" and put his hand on Xu Hu's vest, drawing out the energy from the earth veins and pouring it into Dongming City continuously.
The first to benefit were the thousands of ghosts in the city. Each one of them was dripping with nectar, their size increased dramatically, their upper and lower jaws opened and closed, and they all looked at Wei Shiqi, grateful. After a while, they plunged into the ground, shoulder to shoulder, and worked together to work hard for their master.
In an instant, strong winds sprang up, thunder rumbled, and a large hole was opened in the smoke and dust covering the sky. Starlight and moonlight once again fell on Dongming City.
The ground shook, and the city wall expanded outwards, vacating a large area of land. The ghosts underground worked together to raise the "Demon Refining" square step by step, raising a huge hill like terraces. Houses, shops, inns, and restaurants were built around the slope. , layer upon layer, densely packed like a honeycomb. Under the hills, the river is winding and sparkling, and the black water passes through the city. Three stone bridges span the two sides, reflecting in the water, like a dream. On the top of the hill, the fountain statue is still there. To the east is Silver Hook Square and the Bell Tower, to the west is Yizhu and Song of Silence. The two main halls in the north and south echo each other, the Fire Crow Hall in the south, the Red Star Gongde Hall in the north, and the Cabinet Hall. The six divisions are scattered among them, and the core places of Dongming City are all in front of you.
The energy of the earth continues to flow into Dongming City. The hills are cracked and the old paths are opened. There are eight stone steps leading to the square on the top of the mountain. Several mountain gates are scattered in different directions. There are eighteen plank roads around the mountain. On the side of the mountain, On the other side of the house, there are square stone piles standing, carved in the shape of ghosts, connected by iron chains, leaning against them as railings.
In the beginning, it was just beginning to take shape. Under the continuous infusion of the energy of the earth's veins, every stone, every tree, every eave and every column became exquisitely crafted and orderly. Everyone was amazed by it. It was earth-shaking and miraculous. It was nothing more than this.
Such a huge handiwork consumed all the energy of the earth veins accumulated over thousands of years. There was a "click" in Xu Hu's body, and the "four eyes" broke into several pieces and turned into powder. Wei Shiqi slowly took back his palm and put his hands behind his back. He stood up and said with a smile: "How?"
Xu Hu looked at the mountains in the city and the city at the foot of the mountains. He was filled with emotions and was speechless for a while.
The stars dimmed, smoke and dust once again covered the night sky, and darkness once again covered the earth. However, the short moment of attention was enough to shock people. Dongming City once gained a new life, and at a quick glance, many people are familiar with the shadows, and feel sad in their hearts - the integration of the mountain and city reminds people of Liantao City, the plank road around the mountain reminds people of Wuya View, and the three-bridge crossing reminds people of Dongming City. Thinking of Xinyang Third Bridge, the reflection of black water reminds me of Chishui Cliff.
Wei Shiqi stepped into the void, stretched out his hand, and a sword light rose into the sky from Dongming City and fell steadily into his palm. It was the treasure of the cave, Mobei Zhenren Waterfall Sword. He flicked the flying sword, and Dongming City suddenly turned into billowing black smoke, pouring into the flying sword, the cave sky closed, and the ghost city disappeared without a trace.
Cities, mountains, rivers, bridges, houses, buildings, palaces, thousands of ghosts, including Ghost King Xu Hu, are all captured by the Waterfall Sword. Wei Shiqi flicked the sword blade, buzzing, and whispered: "Chaos never remembers the year, and each of them completes the wonderful way. At that time, there was no battle between stars and rivers. First there was our party and then there was heaven... At that time, there was no battle. There are battles among the stars and rivers, first there is our party and then there is the sky... Dongzhenren, it is really amazing..."
Although he easily subdued Yin Mobei in Luoyang City, the one who was defeated by him was not the Dongzhen man who conquered the world with his sword. The past is over, who can determine the ups and downs of today's world?
