The buildings in the town are mainly made of wood and there are no walls.
Zhang Heng thought about it and realized what was going on.
The original function of the fence was to protect against wild animals.
When the number of wild beasts in the wild decreased, the main function of the fence changed to preventing bandits.
But the danger in the Huangtu world is not wild beasts and bandits, but ghosts.
Walls can't stop these things at all. If they encounter danger, they will trap themselves inside, so people in this world don't need walls.
"Ancestor."
There are guards in the town.
They boasted their sabers, carried bows and arrows, and were very respectful and fearful of Sun Nianpu.
Zhang Heng looked at the patrolman.
It was found that there were red blood stains on their arrow clusters and blades. Unsurprisingly, they must have been smeared with rooster blood, which can ward off evil spirits, or black dog blood.
Of course, things like rooster blood and black dog blood can only simply drive away evil spirits, and can deal with incompetent little ghosts. They are not afraid of ghosts that are too powerful.
But this is enough. These are just ordinary people who only want to protect themselves, and no one will ask them to deal with evil spirits.
"Daozhang Sun, you were born in a Taoist sect. Although you have become a ghost, the things you learned before should still be there. Why didn't you teach these people how to use talismans to give them more power to protect themselves?"
Zhang Heng glanced at it.
I found that these people were ordinary people, had never practiced cultivation, and did not have talismans on their bodies to protect themselves.
"You don't know something. Although I am from a Taoist sect, I dare not teach them these skills."
"The Ghost King of the Four Directions has issued a ban prohibiting the spread of Taoism. If people know that I teach them the art of talismans, not only will I die, but these people who are protected by me will also die."
Sun Nianpu paused slightly, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's useless even if I teach them. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Zhang Heng was noncommittal.
Because he could see that Sun Nianpu's faith had been shattered and he no longer imagined that humans could defeat the Netherworld, just like those Japanese Japs who believed that China would perish and turned to the Fusang people during the Anti-Japanese War.
Of course, Sun Nianpu is still different from the two devils.
He is a ghost, and the two ghosts are those who have taken refuge in ghosts.
"What kind of existence is the Ghost King from all directions?"
Zhang Heng asked curiously.
"Fierce ghost, fierce ghost, ghost general, ghost king, ghost emperor."
"The fierce ghost corresponds to the Qi Training Realm, the fierce ghost corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the Ghost General corresponds to the Return to Void Realm, the Ghost King corresponds to the Hedao Realm, and the Ghost Emperor corresponds to the Loose Immortal who failed to overcome the tribulation."
"For example, I was in the realm of returning to the virtual realm when I was alive. After becoming a ghost, I practiced for many years. Now I have the cultivation level of the ghost general realm."
"The ghost king is in charge of us ghost generals. This area now was formerly called Sifang County, and the main city is Sifang City."
"Now it is occupied by the Sifang Ghost King. It is the king of Sifang County, and all humans and ghosts in the county must obey its orders."
"And above Sifang County, there is Tianxiang Prefecture under the six southern prefectures among the thirteen prefectures."
Zhang Heng frowned slightly.
Celestial phase?
The fifth star of the South Dipper, the celestial star?
Could it be that the thirteen states in Huangtu Realm are named after the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper?
as expected.
When Zhang Heng asked this question, Sun Nianpu confirmed it.
There are thirteen states in Huangtu Realm.
The seven northern states are named after the Big Dipper, namely Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang.
The six southern states are named after the six stars of the South Dou, namely Tianfu, Tianliang, Tianji, Tiantong, Tianxiang, and Qisha Liuzhou.
Thirteen states, plus overseas islands, form the world structure of Huangtu Realm.
The technological level is equivalent to that of the Tang and Song Dynasties, but the gunpowder skill is not listed.
"Thirteen states, seventy-two counties."
"The controller of the state is the ghost emperor who is equivalent to the Sanxian, and the controller of the county is the ghost king who is equivalent to the Hedao realm."
"Thirteen Sanxian ghost emperors, hundreds of Hedao realm ghost kings, plus the elder of the Nether Sect hidden behind the scenes, no wonder the Huangtu Realm can't handle it. For the ordinary Xiaoqian World, this is simply...
A destructive force."
Zhang Heng also found it very difficult.
With Maoshan's current strength, it is not difficult to destroy the Sifang Ghost King, nor is it difficult to capture Sifang County.
But if we really do this, I am afraid that the Ghost Emperor will immediately lead his troops to suppress him. Maoshan at this moment will never be able to stop the Ghost Emperor.
"You still have to dig deep, accumulate food, and slowly become king."
"Before there are monks in the Hedao realm, it is not appropriate for Maoshan to come out with great fanfare."
"When we have Hedao realm monks, and then cooperate with Taiyi Fuchen, we will have the strength to fight against the Sanxian Ghost Emperor."
Zhang Heng had his own plans in mind.
Taking Maoshan, Longhushan, Gezaoshan, Wudangshan, Quanzhendao, Qingchengshan, Laoshan, and Lushan as an example, each of them has its own teaching tools.
A monk in the Hedao Realm, armed with magical weapons such as Taiyi Whisk, Pure Yang Sword, and Zhenwu Sword, is enough to fight across the ranks and suppress a Sanxian Ghost Emperor.
So you can't rush the rebound.
It's like making wine. The wine gets more and more fragrant as it gets older. When you open the lid one day, you'll be drunk just by smelling it, let alone drinking it.
The same goes for counterattacking the Netherworld.
Keep a low profile at the beginning, spread the teachings secretly, and accumulate strength.
Waiting for the time to come, raise your arms and shout, set up thirty-six directions and seventy-two commanders, and then shout: "Gui Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand."
When the time comes, the mountains and temples will be destroyed, and the autumn wind will sweep away these stinky fish and rotten shrimps like fallen leaves.
"Taoist Master, this is it."
Under the leadership of Sun Nianpu, Zhang Heng came to a two-story building and saw the ghost master he talked about in the living room.
This is a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
It looks very white, as if it had been soaked in water.
"This kid!"
When Zhang Heng saw the little girl, he frowned.
Because the Yang Fire in this little girl's body is extremely low, she has a strong ghost energy, more like a ghost than a human being.
"Grandpa Sun"
Hearing the footsteps behind her, the little girl looked back.
After seeing Sun Nianpu, the little girl was very happy and trotted towards him.
As she ran, a series of water droplets were left on the wooden board, as if they were thrown off her body.
"Copper coins open the eyes of Dharma!"
Zhang Heng took out two copper coins and wiped them between his eyes.
The next second, he looked at the little girl again.
When he caught his eye, behind the little girl stood a female ghost with disheveled hair and a wet body.
Every time the little girl takes a step, the female ghost will follow her, just like a guardian spirit.
"Is this the Ghost Controller?"
"It's like signing some kind of contract. It can suppress the ghost's consciousness and borrow its power."
"But this kind of borrowing is no less than slow suicide."
"Ghosts are creatures from the underworld, and humans are from the yang world."
"For a living person who stays with ghosts all day long and is disturbed by ghost energy, one day the yin energy will overwhelm the yang fire, and then her death will be over."
Zhang Heng looked at Sun Nianpu: "Is this the ghost master?"
Sun Nianpu nodded: "I picked up this little girl. She only remembers that she fell into the water. I don't know how the ghost merged with her."
"After merging with the ghost, she will have some of the abilities of the water ghost."
"For example, the water droplets falling from her body are highly toxic. She can breathe underwater and spit out a corrosive sludge from her mouth."
Zhang Heng squinted his eyes: "A ghost master like this probably doesn't have many years to live, right?"
Sun Nianpu nodded: "Yes, those who control ghosts do not live long. The more they borrow strange powers, the deeper they will be corroded by the Yin Qi."
"In order to survive, they can only control the second ghost and let the Yin Qi of the two ghosts balance each other, so that they can live longer."
"But this treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. The more weird power is used, the balance will eventually be broken. When both ghosts cannot maintain balance, the third ghost must be controlled."
"This is a road of no return. If you drink poison to quench your thirst, you will lose your balance and die one day. The only difference is that you die earlier or die later."
Listen to each sentence.
Three words "test product" came to Zhang Heng's mind.
There is no doubt that this so-called ghost controller system was created by the elder from the Netherworld.
The struggle and resistance of the ghost master are just a game to them.
Think deeper.
The ghost masters of the Huangtu Realm regard controlling ghosts as a weapon to fight against the Netherworld. This starting point is wrong.
The idea of using the power system created by the elder of the Netherworld to fight against him is too crazy.
This is like using Zhang Sanfeng's Tai Chi to beat Zhang Sanfeng.
I don’t dare to say that I won’t win, but the difficulty is a little bit too high to be honest.
