Gu Zheng is leaving again, which makes Taoist Huo very worried.
He already knows that the demon clan is attacking the human race. Although no Da Luo Jinxian has intervened yet, once a few Da Luo Jinxian come, they will not be able to resist here, and the whole army may be annihilated.
But even he couldn't refuse Gu Zheng's reasons for leaving.
Gu Zheng actually wants to go to the underworld. Immortal cultivators all know the existence of the underworld, but now it is not the prehistoric world of later generations. The underworld was directly conquered by the human immortals and became a subsidiary territory of the prehistoric world. At this time, the underworld is still a world of its own, and the people living in it are
They are all ghosts.
Under the underworld, it is said that there is an Asura world with even worse environment.
At this time, the prehistoric immortals had no impression of the underworld. They only knew that it was a place with a bad environment, where dead souls and reincarnations were located. Powerful immortal souls would not enter the underworld. To them, this was a strange place.
When the cultivation level reaches the Golden Immortal level, the spirit can escape from the body freely. At this time, the immortal will be destroyed in form and spirit after death and will not enter the underworld. However, the immortal in the realm of heavenly immortal will be killed because the spirit and soul are not completely integrated.
Afterwards, the soul will still enter the underworld.
Gu Zheng wants to go to the underworld to find the souls of Wu You and others.
If you find their dead souls, you can place them in the underworld, or you can bring them back and find a suitable body to rebuild them. After the body is taken away, the body will definitely not be as good as the original one, and it will be difficult to make progress, but at least it can be reborn.
However, seizing the body would harm Tianhe. Gu Zheng had no intention of letting them seize the body. Even if he became a ghost, it would not be bad to be a ghost cultivator. Gu Zheng had many good ghost cultivation methods in his hands, but they were gone.
The body has no hope of becoming holy in the future.
For Wu You and the others, becoming a saint had never occurred to them. Ghost cultivation would allow them to reach the Golden Immortal realm. Except for not having a physical body, everything else was the same, which seemed to be a good result.
These ancient disputes were not told to Taoist Huo, and he left after giving instructions.
Lan Huo was left behind by Gu Zheng. He is from the demon clan. If there is a large-scale invasion by a large clan, it will have some effect. If Lan Huo can't help, then let Lan Huo take them away and save themselves first.
.
Lan Huo is both happy and sad about Gu Zheng and Tao's departure.
Fortunately, Gu Zheng and the others were going to another world. Once they left the prehistoric world, the binding force of the master-servant contract on him would disappear. At that time, no matter whether he wanted to stay or leave, no one could restrict him.
The worry is that once Gu Zheng and the others come back and find out that he has escaped secretly, they will definitely not spare him. With the contract still in place, he will become very unlucky by then. He is worried about gains and losses and doesn't know what to do.
.
Gu Zheng seemed to know that Lan Huo was not completely terrible, and even sent a special message to Shen Gongbao, asking Shen Gongbao to come back and help stay for a while if possible. Shen Gongbao was different from Lan Huo. At this time, Shen Gongbao was still thinking about the human race.
After the explanation, Gu Zheng left directly with Tao. Taoist Huo watched them leave, finally sighed and respectfully invited Lan Huo into the city.
In any case, Lan Huo is a Daluo Jinxian, and his relationship with Taoist has nothing to do with Taoist Huo. It is enough for Taoist Huo to know that he is his senior, and it is right to worship him as his senior.
Before entering the underworld, Gu Zheng still needs to make some preparations.
The current underworld is equivalent to a barbaric land with only countless resentful spirits. There is no orthodox rule there, and there are mountains everywhere, with some powerful ghost cultivators, and they are a force when they lead one area.
Without the Ten Halls of Yama and without Ksitigarbha, the underworld at this time would be in chaos.
The underworld restricts yang energy. He and Tao are both pure yang bodies. Entering the underworld will be somewhat restricted. However, the two of them have high cultivation levels. This restriction is nothing to them, but some things that restrain ghosts,
He still needs to be more prepared.
After all, he went to the underworld to find the souls of Wu You and the others. The underworld at this time was very chaotic and so big. It was not easy to find people in such a place.
It didn't take much time to prepare these things. Three days later, Gu Zheng brought Tao to a critical point, preparing to break through the space and forcefully enter the underworld.
Gu Zheng had done this kind of thing before and was quite familiar with it. Not long after, he and Tao successfully entered the underworld.
The underworld is dark, there is no sunshine, and there is no abundant immortal power from the ancient world. There is a dead air everywhere, which makes Tao who just came in extremely uncomfortable.
"This is how the underworld is, let's go first!"
Gu Zheng gave a brief explanation. Fortunately, he had cross-border experience and knew that all other realms combined could not compare to Honghuang, so he didn't particularly care.
Since the underworld is its own realm, its scope is naturally not small, but it is much smaller than before.
The underworld is the transit point for all the souls of the dead, especially the souls from the ancient world, who have to go through the underworld. Therefore, there are not many ghosts in the underworld. Some ghosts have reincarnated, but there are still many ghosts wandering in the underworld.
middle.
On the ground, from time to time the dead souls raised their heads blankly and looked at Gu Zheng and Tao flying in the air.
Even if the underworld is smaller than prehistoric times, it is still much larger than ordinary places. With so many dead souls, Gu Zheng and the others could not find them in a thousand or ten thousand years, so Gu Zheng had to find a way.
The best way is to find more helpers to help him search together.
At this time, unlike in later generations, all ghosts were registered in the Ten Halls. Those who were not registered were lonely ghosts and had to be exterminated regularly. In later generations, the underworld soldiers were very powerful and could fight against the heavenly soldiers if they were pulled out.
However, because they have no physical body and are just ghosts, they are naturally in a weak position. Otherwise, even a quasi-sage would not be able to completely suppress such a dignified world. Ten Da Luo Jinxian would be the rulers.
Of course, the number of Daluo Jinxian in the underworld is definitely more than ten, but that's just in name.
Gu Zheng and Tao kept flying, landing on the ground from time to time, catching a few ghosts, and asking for some information. The main thing Gu Zheng asked was what forces were nearby. The most powerful force must be a force with scale, and a force without scale.
, it was useless for him to find him.
The method used by Gu Zheng is very simple, which is to collect some scattered forces in the current underworld and let them help him find people, so that the chance of finding them is higher.
As for the safety of Wu You and others, there is not much concern about the ancient dispute.
Although Wu You is dead, he was an immortal after all. His soul is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Even in the underworld, he is not a little ghost that can be rubbed at will. Besides, there are more than one of them, there are three in total.
The three of them are united, and unless they encounter a ghost with the strength of the Golden Immortal, they will basically be fine.
Ghost cultivation is more difficult than human cultivation. There must be golden immortals in the underworld, and there are also golden immortals in Daluo, but the number will not be too many, and they are far inferior to the prehistoric ones. Unless they are particularly unlucky and happen to meet a strong person in the underworld, and happen to be with them.
Keep grudges, otherwise nothing will happen.
With their strength, even if there are powerful ghost cultivators, the idea of recruiting them is definitely higher than killing them.
Seven days later, Gu Zheng finally found out about a force that made him somewhat satisfied. Thousands of miles away, there was an existence called the Ghost King of Yinshan.
Ghost King is just a title in the underworld. Some ghost cultivators with the strength of the Golden Immortal can be called ghost kings. Ghost cultivators with the strength of the Daluo Golden Immortal may also be called the Ghost King. It is just a title and does not represent the specific strength.
However, a ghost cultivator with the power of a heavenly being would never dare to call himself a ghost king. In the underworld, that would simply be an act of seeking death.
The Ghost King of Yinshan, whose location is called Yinshan, is said to have hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators under his command. He is very powerful and is the most powerful force in the area. Many ghost cultivators who want to practice are because of his existence.
The distance of thousands of miles is nothing to Gu Zheng and Tao.
Before arriving at Yinshan Mountain, Gu Zheng saw the Yin Qi rolling in the distance. There were indeed many ghosts here. Hundreds of thousands of ghost cultivators was a bit exaggerated, but hundreds of thousands of ghosts were definitely nothing. Ghost cultivators meant that there were
Ghosts of a certain strength, and ghosts are ghosts. The ghosts of mortals who have just died are also ghosts.
Gu Zheng and Tao didn't hide themselves, they just rushed in.
The two were immortals, and they had entered the underworld in the flesh. They carried Yang Qi in their bodies and existed like the sun in the underworld. It was difficult for them not to be noticed, let alone that they still rushed over so arrogantly.
"Who is it? You are not a ghost cultivator?"
Many ghosts soon flew up in the Yin Mountain. One thing about ghosts is different from those of cultivators. Ghosts have no physical bodies and can float even if they don't practice. After practicing, they can fly easily, so even ordinary ghosts can fly in the underworld.
fly.
But it's just that you can fly. If you want to fly quickly, you still need to cultivate to the realm of immortal or above.
What flew up was a row of ghost cultivators who had truly practiced. Their strength had probably reached the realm of immortals. There were a large number of ghosts following behind them. They were not Yin soldiers. There was no concept of Yin soldiers at this time. No one in the underworld would use ordinary ghosts as an army.
Go practice.
"We are looking for the Ghost King of Yinshan!"
Gu Zheng directly explained the purpose of his visit. Seeing that Gu Zheng and the two men were not ghost cultivators, but had bodies with them, all the ghost cultivators showed vigilance and fear. This was the underworld, not other places. It was true that there were people with bodies, but the number was extremely high.
Well, they are basically in the Asura world. Those Asuras have physical bodies, unlike them.
Great Asuras are not like this. Although they have physical bodies, they practice feminine skills. These two people know at first glance that they are not easy to mess with. The yang energy in their bodies is strong. It seems that as long as they get close, they can be beaten. Burned to death.
"Who are you, and what do you want from our king?"
Despite his vigilance, the ghost cultivator still asked again. Gu Zheng shook his head slightly and continued: "You are not qualified to ask these questions. Let the Ghost King of Yinshan come out immediately, otherwise you will regret it!"
Gu Zheng is here to recruit these forces, or to put it another way, to make them temporarily work for him. It is impossible to expect others to work for him for free. He needs to establish his authority and make these ghost cultivators afraid, so he is not polite at all.
"Wait a minute!" The ghost cultivator looked at Gu Zheng and asked his companions to inform his king.
Gu Zheng stood there without moving. These were not the objects for him to establish authority. In other words, without the Yinshan Ghost King, the effect of his authority would be greatly reduced. He wanted to make the Yinshan Ghost King fear him, so that he could truly establish his authority and make the Yinshan Ghost King listen to him. .
If the Ghost King of Yinshan would rather die than obey, then he wouldn't mind replacing a ghost king here.
Not long after, another group of ghost cultivators flew up. This time the leader had stronger Yin Qi, was taller, and was holding a weapon.
Gu Zheng stared at him. This was a ghost cultivator with the strength of a golden immortal, and he had not yet reached the late stage, only the middle stage of cultivation. Gu Zheng was a little disappointed.
"I am the brother of the Ghost King of Yinshan Mountain. My elder brother is not here. Who are you? What do you want to do with my elder brother?"
The leading Golden Immortal Ghost Cultivator shouted loudly, and Gu Zheng frowned. No, the Yinshan Ghost King was not there. The middle-stage Golden Immortal Ghost Cultivator who came out was just his younger brother.
The ghost king of Yinshan is not here, so Gu Zheng's plan can only be changed.
"Who's in charge here now, is it you?"
Gu Zheng asked the ghost cultivator. The burly ghost cultivator nodded. Gu Zheng said directly without waiting for him to speak: "Very good. From now on, all the ghosts here have been recruited. I need your help." If you do things well, you will be rewarded; if you do things poorly, everyone will die!"
Gu Zheng said calmly, and the burly ghost cultivator was stunned for a moment, then showed an angry look and screamed.
I don't know what he called, but Gu Zheng ignored him at all. He suddenly stretched out his hand, and an iron pen flew straight out, flew in front of the burly ghost cultivator, and stopped straight in front of his nose, without moving.
The burly ghost cultivator's voice stopped suddenly, and he looked at the enchanting reincarnation pen in front of him in horror.
This is the reincarnation pen that can directly draw away the soul. It is an innate treasure. Ghost cultivators are in the state of their souls. A slight touch by the reincarnation pen can make their souls fly away.
The pen of reincarnation and the book of life and death are the same, and future generations should be controlled by Ksitigarbha. As for some places, it is said that there is a book of life and death and a pen of reincarnation in every hall of the underworld. That is wrong. These are human books, the three books of heaven, earth and man. There is only one copy of this book, and there is no other semicolon. It is absolutely impossible for such a treasure to be placed in the hands of a judge with ordinary cultivation.
The ones in the hands of the judge should all be imitations.
Of course, this is just Gu Zheng's guess. He did not have any dealings with Ksitigarbha in later generations, so I don't know if the book is in his possession.
But now that he has the book in his hand and the book, he is the controller of the underworld. At worst, he is invincible in the underworld, and no one can hurt him.
"What did I say?"
Gu Zheng asked again. As long as the ghost cultivator dared to object again, Gu Zheng immediately hooked him. At this time, Gu Zheng did not need to negotiate with others.
"Sir, I will listen to you, I will listen to you!"
Although the burly ghost cultivator looked intimidating, he was not very courageous. When Gu Zheng scared him like this, he immediately gave up and was willing to obey Gu Zheng's orders completely.
Gu Zheng didn't care whether he was really listening or not, as long as he was willing to obey now.
"Let me ask you, where did the Ghost King of Yinshan go?"
Such a ghost cultivator cannot control the entire Yinshan Mountain. The key is the Yinshan Ghost King. If the Yinshan Ghost King is unwilling to obey, then he will be raised up and become the new Yinshan Ghost King. He can only be regarded as a spare tire.
"My eldest brother was invited to the banquet by the Ghost King of Changshan, the Ghost King of Wenshan and other great kings!"
The burly ghost cultivator spoke hurriedly and went to the banquet. This result surprised Gu Zheng, and from what he said, there seemed to be many ghost kings gathered together.
After asking carefully, Gu Zheng found out that there were eight ghost kings present at the place where the Yinshan Ghost King was having a banquet.
The eight ghost kings are all in the late Golden Immortal stage. They are all nearby overlords. Together, there are millions of ghost cultivators. Their territory is millions of miles away. This gathering is because of Xinna, the ghost king of Changshan.
He took a concubine and invited them to go.
The eight ghost kings had a smile on Gu Zheng's face. This was definitely a good thing for him, a great thing. He was worried about how to recover these scattered forces one by one and let them mobilize their strength to find people for themselves. These eight
The ghost kings got together.
Recovering eight at once is better than recovering one.
"Lead the way, I'm going to the Ghost King of Changshan now!"
Gu Zheng didn't even descend from Yinshan Mountain, and directly let the burly ghost cultivator lead the way, and then left Yinshan Mountain, leaving a group of ghost cultivators there in a daze. Some of them were smart, and they had already begun to think of ways to send a message to their own king, and some were a little stupider.
, followed quietly, but the most stupid thing was to just stay there and do nothing.
The ghost king of Changshan was not far from the ghost king of Yinshan. Gu Zheng was very fast, but the burly ghost cultivator was slow. As a result, he was caught by Gu Zheng and galloped away in the same direction.
Ghost cultivators do not have physical bodies. Gu Zheng can collect ghosts with some things prepared in advance, and it is very easy to carry them away.
Changshan is where the Ghost King of Changshan is located. The Ghost King of Changshan is not named because of Changshan, but because the Ghost King of Changshan occupies this place, so this place is called Changshan.
The same is true in Yinshan, where places are named after their bosses.
These ghost kings all like to have the word "山" in their names, which makes Gu Zheng a little confused. However, this is the custom of the underworld. Gu Zheng is not interested in finding out the details, let alone helping them change their names.
Chang Shan arrived quickly. Gu Zheng didn't stop this time and went directly inside. As expected, it was decorated with lanterns and a wedding banquet was being held.
"who?"
"There is an enemy!"
"Someone broke in!"
Gu Zheng and Tao just rushed in, causing chaos inside. Gu Zheng didn't care about them and rushed in. All the ghost cultivators who blocked them were wiped out by them and turned into nothingness.
There is a main hall in Changshan. There is a round table in the center of the main hall. There are eight ghost cultivators sitting at the round table. When Gu Zheng arrived at the door of the main hall, all eight ghost cultivators stood up and looked at Gu Zheng at the door.
Gu Zheng released the burly ghost cultivator, and one of the eight ghost cultivators immediately shouted: "Second brother?"
"Brother, I'm sorry, they came to find you. I wanted to drive them away, but they were too strong, so I could only bring them here to find you!"
The burly ghost cultivator looked a little aggrieved and hurriedly explained. After that, he quietly glanced at Gu Zheng, fearing that Gu Zheng would kill him when he got angry. He was not a ghost cultivator born and raised in the underworld, but also practiced after death from the outside world.
