Just like at Changshan Ghost King's place, Gu Zheng occupied this place.
The difference from there is that here there is only one leader, the Ghost King of the Four Seas. Before he left, he made special arrangements to serve these people well and never neglect them, so he left in a hurry.
This is his base camp, his lair. After running it for so long, he won't run even if he is asked to run away, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen here, so he has such an explanation.
The Ghost King of the Four Seas has left. Except for the Ghost King's Mansion, everything in Yandu City remains as before. The ordinary ghosts in the city don't even know that a powerful person has come to the city, and they don't know that their Ghost King has left Yandu City.
In the city, it is naturally different from Changshan Ghost King's place. Changshan Ghost King's place has a lot of people, but it is a hilltop, so it is not as lively as the city.
Gu Zheng was still very interested in it. He walked around Yandu City and even bought a lot of things.
Except that the sky is always dark and the food is a little different, this place is actually no different from a city in the mortal world. There are many ghosts here, which are the people who died in the mortal world.
Gu Zheng noticed that there were many elderly people in the city, and many of them were the ghosts of elderly people who died normally.
"I remember that many people died in the mortal world. Why are there so few young people?"
Gu Zheng asked casually, and Huang Xiaolei hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a flattering smile: "Sir, you are talking about the mortals who were killed in the Lich War. There are indeed many souls who have come to the underworld. They were killed, so they all have
Ghosts with resentment and resentment are not allowed to enter the city. Not only can they not enter the city, they will not even be allowed to go to the residences of other ghosts!"
"Why is this?"
Gu Zheng stopped and asked in surprise.
"They are all souls who died in vain. The resentment of the souls who died in vain is not eliminated. They may turn into evil ghosts at any time. The evil ghosts will lose their intelligence and hurt other ghosts. Therefore, they are not allowed to enter the city. They can only enter after they cleanse their grievances outside.
city!"
Huang Xiaolei explained quickly, while Gu Zheng frowned, but soon relaxed.
Wu You and the others also died in vain. They must be filled with resentment, and it seems that they cannot enter the city. However, with this characteristic, they can always narrow down the scope and make it easier to find them.
"How can the soul of a person who died in vain wash away his grievances?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"There are many ways to cleanse grievances, such as the Wangchuan River outside the city. The water of the river can purify the soul and wash away grievances. If the resentment is not deep, take the Wangchuan River water for three months continuously and bathe in the Wangchuan River water once every seven days.
If you can wash it away, if you have deep grievances, the water from the Wangchuan River will not work, so you have to take the grievance-washing fruit!"
"The fruit of grievance-washing?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"This is a fruit that is a specialty of the underworld. There is a lot of it. It is more effective than the Wangchuan River. It can wash away grievances better. Ordinary people who die in vain and don't have deep resentments can take the grievance-washing fruit, one piece a day.
It takes thirty days to cleanse the grievances, and the grievance-cleansing fruit tastes pretty good, but the price is a little higher!"
"What if the resentment is very deep?"
Gu Zheng asked again, Wu You and the others were killed by Jinxian, and they were induced out of the city. They were framed, so their resentment would not be small. In addition, they were cultivators of immortals, so their resentment would definitely be bigger.
Greater than ordinary mortals.
Wrong souls with too deep grievances will be captured and sent to the Tower of Hell. The grievances will be purified in the Tower of Hell. If the grievances are not too deep, they can be purified in the first few floors for a few years before they can be released. If they are really irresolvable,
If you feel resentful, then send them to the 18th floor of the Tower of Hell. The innocent souls there will basically never come out again.
"Tower of Hell?"
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Huang Xiaolei. Huang Xiaolei hurriedly took the initiative to explain: "The Tower of Hell was created when the underworld was born. It does not belong to anyone and no one can control it. Only the souls of injustice can enter it. Ghosts without resentment can enter it."
For those who cannot enter the Tower of Hell, the deeper the resentment, the deeper they go inside. Once you enter the eighteenth floor, it is equivalent to the resentment that cannot be washed away and you cannot get out at all!"
"Can't get out?"
"Yes, since the birth of the underworld, innocent souls have been sent to the tower of hell. In the first few floors, there were innocent souls who purged their grievances and came out. However, there are only eighteen floors and no one has ever come out. There was once a man from the tenth floor.
The seven levels have been purified until the first level, and the innocent souls who finally left the Tower of Hell said that the eighteenth level of hell is very scary. There are countless miserable resentments every day. The innocent souls inside bite each other, but no one can eat each other. Every day
Living in pain but no relief!"
When Huang Xiaolei said this, he looked around mysteriously and whispered: "I once heard an adult say that the Tower of Hell is a prison set up by Heaven in the underworld. On the 18th floor, all those who commit evil crimes are imprisoned.
Disciple, after entering, you will be immortal inside, but you will suffer pain every day and never come out. It’s so terrible!”
After Huang Xiaolei finished speaking, he seemed to be scared himself and patted his chest.
There is something funny indeed about a ghost acting scared.
"They are all rumors and cannot be trusted!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, but what he was thinking about at this time was some things about the underworld in later generations. The underworld in later generations was governed by the quasi-holy Ksitigarbha. Ksitigarbha once said, 'If hell is not empty, you will never become a Buddha.' However, although Ksitigarbha is
Bodhisattva, but his strength has reached the level of quasi-sage, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary Bodhisattvas with the strength of Daluo Jinxian.
Not to mention Bodhisattvas, even some real Buddhas are not as powerful as Ksitigarbha.
Such a strong man, who has been in charge of the underworld all year round, and said something really puzzling. Gu Zheng had never thought of it before, but now that Huang Xiaolei said it, this tower of hell is indeed a bit weird.
However, the purpose of this ancient expedition to the underworld is not to explore the secrets of hell, but to find the souls of Wu You and the others. Just listen to what happened in the Tower of Hell.
After visiting the city for a day, Gu Zheng also brought back a lot of grudge-washing fruits when he returned. There was a shop in the city that had the goods. After collecting them, they went outside the city to sell them.
Gu Zheng bought this thing out of pure curiosity. He wanted to see what magical properties this fruit has. It can wash away grievances. It is better than the water of the Wangchuan River. The Wangchuan River is the largest river in the underworld, and the underworld is different from the prehistoric times.
, there were four major continents in the prehistoric era, and the four major continents were all separated from each other. The underworld was just a place with no separation.
Although the underworld is not as big as the ancient world, it is larger than a single continent. The area is not small. The Wangchuan River runs through the entire underworld. You can imagine how long this river is.
"It's a nice little thing!"
Gu Zheng tasted the fruit himself, and his eyes immediately lit up. Although he was born and raised in the underworld, there was a pure sweetness in this fruit, which was completely different from the underworld filled with yin energy, and even incompatible with it.
No wonder this kind of fruit can wash away grievances. The purity in the fruit is as clear as the thoughts of the most innocent and innocent child. Resentments will soon be assimilated under this purity.
"It seems that we can research another food cultivator!"
Gu Zheng said to himself there that he had not yet succeeded in researching the food cultivation method that ghosts could take directly. Gu Zheng thought of the second type of food cultivation method, the food cultivation method for washing away grievances.
Use the Resentment Washing Fruit as the main ingredient, and mix it with other auxiliary ingredients that have the power of purity, such as water from the Wangchuan River, etc., to cook the Resentment Washing Food Cultivation. If the cooking is successful, people who do not have heavy grievances can use a bowl of food repair
It can wash away the grievances. For more serious grievances, only ten bowls are enough.
If ten bowls cannot be washed, then they can only be sent to the Tower of Hell, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
The most important thing is that according to Gu Zheng's budget, one pot of this kind of food repair only requires ten fruits as the main ingredient. One pot of food repair can produce ten bowls. Calculated this way, it is equivalent to one bowl.
What can only be done by thirty pills can be solved by Gu Zheng with just one pill. This is the extraordinary thing about Food Cultivation.
As for this saving, Gu Zheng didn't care much. What he cared about more was the effect, which increased the effect of the grudge-washing fruit. Those who had to be sent to the first few floors of the Tower of Hell, after having this kind of food cultivation,
There is no need to go in. The Tower of Hell only accepts people with resentment. Even Daluo Jinxian cannot enter by himself unless he has resentment.
Also, Gu Zheng studied this food cultivation not to benefit the underworld.
He was preparing for Wu You and the others. Wu You and the others must have resentment on their bodies. There were no one knows how many ancient disputes there were. If he prepared early, he could thoroughly wash away the resentment on their bodies after finding them. In this way, no matter whether they
Taking it back or keeping it here will be of great benefit to them.
This research lasted for five days. Five days later, Gu Zheng looked at the boiling pot of food cultivation with satisfaction. The food cultivation practice was theoretically completed.
As for whether it is a real success, he still needs to do an experiment. After all, no one with any resentment has ever eaten the food repair he made, so he still doesn't know the effect.
"Have you found all the people I asked you to find?"
Gu Zheng walked out of the room and asked a ghost cultivator outside who had the strength of an immortal. The ghost cultivator nodded hurriedly and left quickly. Not long after, he came with ten different people, and these ten people were followed by more than twenty people.
People, several of them are golden immortals.
These ten people are all ghosts, and what is different from normal ghosts is that their eyes are red.
The ten people's eyes had different degrees of redness, some were very light, and some were very dark, and they all glowed brightly. These were the resentful souls Gu Zheng had asked them to find outside the city in advance to test his food cultivation.
The reason why there are golden immortals following me is because they are afraid that some of these wronged souls will suddenly turn into evil ghosts.
Although the resentment does not reach a certain level, it is impossible to turn into a fierce ghost, but it is not absolute. Some wronged souls may turn into fierce ghosts if their resentment is not deep. After turning into a fierce ghost, not only the spiritual intelligence is completely lost, but the strength suddenly increases. An ordinary
The wronged souls and their power may reach the realm of immortals.
That's all. The key point is that if you are scratched or bitten by a ghost, you may be infected and there is no cure. That's why ghosts with resentment are not allowed to enter the city or other ghost gathering places. You can only wait for their resentment to turn away.
Entry is only allowed after removal.
In this way, even if an innocent soul turns into a vicious ghost, it will still be outside and have limited impact on the city.
Ten ghosts stood there one after another. Except for one who has some power, the others are ordinary people. The stronger the ghost, the stronger the ghost will be. The ghost with the strength of an immortal can reach the level of a golden fairy when turned into a ghost.
Even in the late Golden Immortal stage, no one dares to ignore this.
Gu Zheng poured out a bowl of food and gave it to the wronged soul with the reddest eyes first.
The innocent soul was very confused, but he sniffed and couldn't help but swallow, even though he had no saliva to swallow.
"Drink it!"
Huang Xiaolei brought the food cultivator over. The evil spirit hesitated for a moment, but he quickly drank all the food cultivators in the bowl and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. The food cultivators made by Gu Zheng allowed these ghosts to drink it.
s things.
Gu Zheng stared at this innocent soul, who looked around blankly, and his red eyes gradually weakened, and finally stopped when they weakened to half.
"How did you die?"
This person had quite a lot of resentment. Gu Zheng asked casually, and the expressions of other ghost cultivators around him suddenly changed. For the wronged souls, the last thing they should not ask is how they died, because it will arouse their memories of death.
Resentment will increase.
The evil spirit lowered his head, seeming to be a little sad and angry. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I am from a wealthy family, and my family has a small amount of money, but my brother, in order to fight for the family wealth, deliberately seduced his wife, and the two of them joined forces.
Murder me!"
It turned out that this man was killed by his wife and brother. No wonder the resentment was so deep. It can be said that these two people were his closest relatives, but they joined forces to kill him.
After he finished speaking, his eyes were still the same as before, without getting darker or showing any sign of turning into a ghost, which surprised some people around him.
"Next!"
Gu Zheng asked Huang Xiaolei to send all the food repairs to them. The ten wronged souls quickly drank the food repairs. Except for the first one, there was another resentment that had not been completely eliminated, but it was already very light. Gu Zheng estimated that
, according to the first situation, three bowls of food can clear all the grievances, and for the other one, two bowls are enough.
After taking Food Repair, you can take it three days later. Even the first one can be completely resolved within ten days.
Gu Zheng specifically asked, for someone like him, who eats the Resentment-Washing Fruit every day, it will take a long time to resolve all the grievances. There can be no other accidents in the meantime, such as finding that someone close to him has been killed, or finding that he is not alone.
Such a little injustice.
No one can say the specific time, but one month is definitely not enough. It could be three months, or even a year. If it gets serious, you will be sent to the Tower of Hell.
This shows that Gu Zheng's grudge-washing food repair is completely successful, and the effect is particularly good, and it can indeed wash away the grievances of these innocent souls.
Except for these two, the other eight wronged souls have all their grievances washed away. They are also very happy to have their grievances washed away. This means that they will no longer be restricted and can enter the city wherever they want.
Can.
This unexpected harvest made them very happy.
They are all ordinary wronged souls who were killed in the war. They have little strength and wealth. On their own, they can only use the water of the Wangchuan River to cleanse their grievances. They can't even eat the fruit of the grievance cleansing. Now
Suddenly my resentment is gone and I can live a normal life in the underworld. How can I be unhappy?
Ten innocent souls are all grateful to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't pay much attention to this. He had successfully washed away his grievances and cultivated food. When he found Wu You and the others, he would be more confident of helping them wash away their grievances.
Ten days later, the Ghost King of the Four Seas came back, but Wang Shuo did not come.
However, the Ghost King of the Four Seas brought a message, and Wang Shuo invited a few of them to go over and talk to him. Gu Zheng had not shown any signs of life and death before, and failed to attract Wang Shuo like Wang San.
"Then go to him!"
Looking at the Ghost King of the Four Seas, Gu Zheng said lightly, while the Ghost King of the Four Seas had a bitter look on his face. He just made a trip, and now it seems that he will make another trip to take them there together.
However, what happened next surprised the Ghost King of the Four Seas. Gu Zheng did not let him lead the way. He just asked for the route and then they set off on their own.
The Ghost King of the Four Seas is just a golden immortal, and his speed is very slow. Taking him will not waste enough time. What Gu Zheng wants is Wang Shuo's location. He only needs to know the place. There is no need to take him with him.
The Ghost King of the Four Seas himself traveled back and forth for more than half a month, and it took Gu Zheng and the three of them only three days to reach the place he mentioned, a relatively quiet place with a good environment by the Wangchuan River.
Wang Shuo is here. There is a man in black next to Wang Shuo. He is completely wrapped in black. He looks a bit like Tao from before, which made Tao keep looking at him.
"Fellow Taoist Wang San, two Taoist friends from the Great Wilderness, welcome!"
Wang Shuo stood there, his slender body looking very good-looking. On the earth in future generations, he would definitely be a handsome man who would make countless women scream.
The Ghost King of the Four Seas had already explained the situation, and he also knew what the three were coming, so he was not surprised at all.
"Friend Wang Shuo, I have long admired you!"
Although he has not yet recovered, Wang San is not timid in front of Wang Shuo, and greets him with fists clasped. After all, he is also a Daluo Jinxian.
"I heard that the three of you came to discuss something with me. What's the matter?"
Wang Shuo seemed very polite and not arrogant just because he was in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian. He also invited Gu Zheng and the other three people in to sit down and talk in detail.
"I want to borrow the power of fellow Taoist Wang Shuo!"
Wang Shuo got straight to the point, and Gu Zheng didn't hide anything. He directly explained Lai Yi. Wang Shuo's expression did not change, but Hu Feng beside him suddenly raised his head.
"May I ask my friend, why do you want to borrow it?"
This Wang Shuo is very scheming. If it had been anyone else, if he heard that he wanted to borrow his power, he would have turned against him long ago. To put it mildly, it was borrowing, but to put it worse, this was an order. Who could tolerate others ordering him?
"Find someone!" Gu Zheng's answer was simple.
"Find someone?"
Wang Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head: "My fellow Taoist, someone was killed in the ancient world, and the soul of the dead has entered the underworld?"
"Yes, it is indeed true!"
Wang Shuo is very smart. Gu Zheng and Tao are not ghosts, but bodies. They came here specially from the ancient times to look for people. They must not be looking for living people, they must be dead souls.
The souls of the dead will not enter the underworld if they are not dead. From this point of view, the dead people are quite important to Gu Zheng and the others, otherwise they would not come here from the prehistoric times.
This surprised Wang Shuo.
He has lived long enough, so he knows more. It is not that easy to go from the prehistoric world to the underworld. Even if you are Daluo Jinxian, you cannot enter the underworld at will. You need to know the passage between the two realms, and you also need to know the passage between the two realms.
Only by breaking the void can you enter the underworld.
