The river is clear and clear, crossing the Wangchuan River,
What can I do if the bridge is lonely?
The soup is tasteless like Meng Po’s cooking.
The stone is ruthlessly carved with three lives,
Look at the mortal world and fall in love with my hometown.
These seven special attractions are the seven special scenic spots in the land of the underworld in ancient times, Guimen Pass, Huangquan Road, Wangchuan River, Naihe Bridge, Mengpo Tang, Sansheng Stone, and Wangxiang Terrace.
After a set of procedures, the billions of souls after the death of the living beings in the three realms and six realms can be clearly arranged.
As a force of the Human Emperor's lineage, Fengdu Ghost City's position is to seize the underworld market as much as possible, targeting only human souls.
Don't let all human souls fall into the control of heaven.
In terms of scale, it is naturally far less huge than the Hell of Yama.
But imitation is imitation, and some functions that it should have are still not missing.
For example, the gate of hell that connects yin and yang is the most important means to attract souls.
Originally, I wanted to come to Fengdu Ghost City, but usually only by being lucky in the Ghost King Wasteland can I encounter the opening of the Underworld Fantasy.
If you want to connect here with other places, you need to create an environment similar to Hades first.
First of all, the concentration of Yin Qi must reach the standard, and then there must be enough sophisticated magic to cover it, and there must be a positioning token similar to Daji's finger bone or the Emperor's finger bone, and finally, the three life stones must be used to communicate, so that it can be successful.
But with the gate of hell, it's different.
As long as the location is set in advance, it can be opened at night when there is no scorching sun.
Moreover, Netherland Illusion and Kyushu Continent are not two maps pasted together, and the distance between them in space is not so absolute.
In other words, the difficulty of connecting two places thousands of miles apart from Fengdu Ghost Town is not much different.
This alone plays a decisive role for Jiang Li.
For example, his Manjianghong Inn and the stubborn stone hermit army have important strongholds in Dazhong Mountain, Fengyang City, Luanshi Ridge, Guan City, Shifang Territory, and even Hualong Island.
But the distance between them is too far. Although traveling in the world of immortality is convenient and can fly and escape at a very fast speed, the journey is definitely not safe.
With the evil cultivators blocking the road and the monsters entrenched in the mountains, it takes a lot of manpower and time to open and maintain a safe waterway.
As far as the Chongshan League is concerned, at most one of the waterways can be kept open.
Therefore, the transportation of materials between several strongholds has always been a big trouble.
Especially those ghosts collected by Manjianghong Inn often suffer huge losses due to procrastination for too long.
Now, Jiang Li can completely use this Fengdu ghost town as his headquarters, and then use the ghost gate to connect everywhere.
By then, thousands of miles away will become a short distance, allowing him to easily control every situation.
In addition, with the convenient Ghost Gate, Jiang Li can now stay in Fengdu and use it as a frontier to explore the current underworld.
Jiang Li has long coveted the Beiyin Mountain that separates Yin and Yang, and the Nine Netherwood mother tree, one of the ten innate spiritual roots in the world.
Using this place as a springboard and recruiting more local ghosts, he could finally conduct a formal exploration.
Jiang Li concentrated on studying the huge portal that appeared in front of him.
Qin Shuman, who had just taken over Fengdu City and was refining a large amount of Meng Po Tang to cleanse the memories of the disciples of the Beast Madness Sect, floated in from outside the palace.
"Sir, there is a flood outside the city. The Drowned Ghost King has brought millions of water ghosts to attack."
"We are currently calling for formation below the city."
She said that the ghost king was coming to attack, but Qin Shuman was not afraid at all. With the support of thousands of ghost soldiers, she was enough to compete with ordinary ghost kings.
Jiang Li was not too surprised by this.
This Fengdu Ghost City has always been a battleground for the ghost kings. Without the intimidation of the original ghost kings from all directions, new ghost kings will naturally come to attack.
There will be many more things like this in the future, and it can be regarded as a wave of benefits that will allow him to quickly expand his power.
The huge ghost town is short of manpower, but Jiang Li doesn't refuse anyone who comes.
"There is still a moat missing outside the city. Do you think those water ghosts can make do with it?"
The light on the city master's stone tablet flashed, and Jiang Li had appeared at the top of Fengdu City. He waved his hand and released the ghost lantern snake, which pounced on the drowned ghost king who was riding the waves below.
....
Months passed quickly.
In a dense forest on the eastern border of Cangyun Prefecture.
There are three figures running fast along the ground.
The leader was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, carrying a mahogany sword on his back, and holding an eight-way compass in his hand. Every step he took showed the directions of seven stars.
Although he is clearly running on the ground, his speed is no less than flying with a royal weapon, which shows that his movement skills are exquisite.
The two people behind him, one fat and the other thin, were far inferior to the former in terms of cultivation. Even with a talisman stuck on each of their legs, they were both panting and sweating profusely from exhaustion.
"Master! Master! I can't bear it anymore. Take a rest... take a rest."
The chubby disciple couldn't help but speak, but as soon as he spoke, his breath was released, and his steps became messy. After taking a few more steps, he fell directly to the ground.
The high-speed inertia pushed him forward, knocking down more than a dozen big trees as he rolled and rolled forward, and then he successfully rushed out of the woods and fell down on an official road in a mortal country.
"Oh, senior brother, you are so useless. Did you secretly fight with Xiaoyu again last night?"
"Female ghosts are harmful to the body. You see, your legs are weak now. Young people should exercise restraint."
The thin Taoist priest also jumped out of the jungle, tore off the talismans on his feet, and helped the fat Taoist priest who fell down.
He also imitated his master's tone and teased his senior brother.
"What do you know? A female ghost and a paper man are amazing!"
"Brother Wei will make one for you one day, and you will know how many years of good time you have wasted."
The fat Taoist priest was obviously very thick-skinned. He did not shy away from these things at all. Instead, he traced the uneven arcs with his hands.
"Hmph! How wonderful? Your junior brother started ten years later than you, and now his cultivation is almost surpassing yours!"
"If you continue like this, believe it or not, becoming a teacher will make you a blameless person!"
At this time, Taoist Xingpao, who had been running in front, also turned back to them.
I checked the fat Taoist priest and found that he had no injuries, so I started to blame him.
"Now that the Zombie King is born, hurry up and follow me! Otherwise, there will be no life within a thousand miles."
"Eh? What a heavy yin energy!"
But at this moment, the compass pointer in his hand turned and began to shake violently.
That can only ultimately point to the end of this official road.
After giving the fat disciple a pill to restore his strength, the three of them followed the official route and hurried on.
Soon a human city appeared in front.
They had serious expressions at first, thinking this was a town that had been massacred by the zombie king.
But after getting closer, I discovered that not only had there been no massacres here, but the population was densely populated, and the streets and alleys were noisy. It was a scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
"Master, this area is located in a remote area. The surrounding towns are all poor and poorly clothed. How come this place is so wealthy?"
"No, look carefully at the houses around here. Although they are bright and shiny on the outside, their foundations are rotten and dilapidated."
"This town must have been a poor place a few months ago. It seems that it suddenly made a fortune in the near future."
The three of them were walking in the city and soon discovered many strange things.
Every household in this city is burning a fire, and the smell of cooking smoke and rice fills the entire town.
"It's obviously not a meal, so why are everyone cooking? And isn't the amount of food too big?"
"There are less than 10,000 people in this city, but the food produced is enough to feed a million people."
In this city, at the door of every household, there are wooden barrels half as tall as a person containing food, and each family has more than one barrel.
Obviously, it is impossible for the locals to digest these hot dishes. This place does not look like a prosperous commercial place, where do so many people eat.
"Food is not something only people can eat."
"Find a place to stay, money is coming, and you guys can explore the area, be careful not to be discovered."
"You must come back before dark, the zombie king may appear at any time."
Taoist Xingpao found an inn, and everyone in the inn was very busy. After throwing him a key, he hurried back to the kitchen.
The Taoist sneaked into the back kitchen to observe and found that when cooking, the chefs, in addition to the normal condiments, would also sprinkle handfuls of incense ash into the pot.
Seeing this scene, he became even more certain that these meals were not for human consumption.
The changes in this city must be related to some evil spirits.
As a Taoist, he inherently rejects such demons and monsters.
And after thinking about it, the zombie king was very likely to be attracted by the Yin Qi here. So he decided to stay temporarily and see the situation.
As the night gradually fell, the kitchen fires in the city burned like this for a whole day without any interruption.
Then, under the darkness of night, buckets of food were loaded onto the carts, and all the residents in the city pushed the carts and held the wine in their arms, heading towards an open space outside the city.
At this time, two disciples of Taoist Xingpao also ran back.
"Master, master! Look what I found!"
"There is a newly built strange temple outside the city. It is magnificently built."
"I took some copper coins to open my eyes, and I immediately knew there was something wrong with the temple. The temple blessing inside turned out to be a fox!"
"The people in this city must have been deceived by the fox demon to become like this."
"I personally took action and captured the fox demon. Master, do you want to kill the demon now?"
The fat Taoist priest Qian Kai had a big face and his facial features were bunched up when he smiled. In his hand, he was holding a big fox with shiny fur.
There were several blood stains on the fox's body, and he was still grinning at them.
"Did you take its demon elixir?"
The Taoist frowned. He didn't feel the slightest evil spirit from this fox. After all, even if this fox demon did evil, it didn't kill anyone.
After creatures like fox demons have reached a certain level of cultivation, they need to enter the mortal world to practice. Most of them will be kind to others and are not the target of their demon elimination.
Now that his apprentice has taken out the opponent's demon pill, his cultivation has been completely ruined and he can't even speak. This is really a bit much.
"Hey, Master, you still discovered it. The disciple is also very filial and wants to take the inner elixir and make wine for Master."
"The demon pill soaked in wine makes the dragon and the tiger fierce. Master, you must try it."
The purpose of the fat Taoist priest is obviously that of a dragon and a tiger.
"Tie him up first. Killing for no reason is not beneficial to spiritual practice."
The Taoist shook his head and said nothing more.
After all, he is just a monster. Do you want him to uphold justice and destroy his apprentice?
"Follow me, let's go see where the townspeople are going."
Fat Taoist Qian Kai tied up the fox and stuffed it into a cloth bag. Then the three of them jumped into the air, used yellow talismans to become invisible and followed the mighty motorcade.
The convoy carried enough food for a million people to a temple outside the city.
After a hard day's work, they piled up the meals together and then walked into the temple. Each person burned three pillars of incense in front of the statue, and then drove the carriage back the same way.
They have been doing this process for half a year.
When they go back, they will find an extra piece of gold and silver in front of the banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
That is the secret of how they became rich in a short period of time. The mere fear of mountain spirits and ghosts is not worth the temptation of yellow and white things.
After the townspeople left, the Taoist appeared with two disciples.
Entering the temple filled with incense, I found that what was enshrined there was a strange statue of a Buddha and a demon with a thousand hands on his back.
"This temple and the statues are full of sinister atmosphere, and they are not good things at first glance. Master, should we destroy this evil temple?"
Fat Taoist priest Qian Kai just got a demon pill, and now his head is full of thoughts about killing demons.
"Senior brother, destroying someone's spiritual practice is like killing one's parents. It means we will never share the same fate."
The thin Taoist Xu Lai spoke leisurely at the side. The fat Taoist's hand holding the peach wood sword shook, and he looked at the terrifying statue again, but in the end he still did not dare to take action.
"Shh! There's something going on outside, don't make a sound!"
It was the middle of the night, the full moon was in the sky, and a ray of frost-like moonlight fell down.
The fog was hazy for a while, and when it dispersed, a dark ghost-faced gate suddenly appeared in front of the small temple.
As soon as the gate came out, the Yin Qi within a hundred miles around was pulled towards this place.
The wandering ghosts nearby seemed to be summoned and floated towards here.
The Taoist priest Xingpao hiding in the temple had his pupils constricted and couldn't believe what he saw.
"The Gate of Hell! How could it be the Gate of Hell!"
The Taoist name is called "Zhaixingxing", which inherits one of the orthodox three-mountain talismans of ancient Taoism.
In his inheritance, the records of the Netherworld and Ghost Realm are particularly detailed, and many of them are secrets that have been lost in the current world of immortality.
He used to read it as a story, but by chance today, he actually saw the gate of hell described in ancient books!
"But hasn't the underworld disappeared long ago? How can it still..."
Before he finished speaking, the two ghost-faced doors slowly opened in front of them.
The rich Yin Qi gushes out from behind the door, condensing the water vapor in the air to form a thick fog that rolls and spreads.
In the thick fog, a group of black-armored soldiers lined up, picked up a large amount of food on the ground, and returned to the door.
There were more ghost soldiers behind them, carrying chains with barbs in their hands, and they spread out around them.
"The gate of hell is closed, and the evil soldiers are taking advantage of you!"
"Master! It's a Yin soldier! Isn't that the underworld behind it? Master, it turns out you didn't lie to us."
"By the way, don't we still have a piece of the Sixth Grade Du Kung Fu? Can we go in and change to the Yin Division's Taipan Dangdang?"
"You old man can't use it, so why not give your apprentice another job?"
