Above the sky, a blood moon hangs, the air is cold, and the surroundings are cold and dark.
Such a strange place should be deserted, but it's just the opposite.
There are figures in the sky and on the ground constantly shuttled back and forth, making it very lively.
These shadows are ethereal and blurry, sometimes dark and sometimes disappearing, and only their light green outlines can be identified.
Such an environment is terrifying for humans, but it is fertile ground for comfort and comfort for them.
After traveling for a long time, the three male ghost cultivators stopped temporarily by a small mound on the roadside to rest and recover their mana.
The small mound seems to have just appeared, and the soil on it is all new.
However, the three of them didn't pay attention and just chatted among themselves.
"Brother Li, we have gained a lot this time. I really didn't expect that we could hunt down the soul of the Blood Moon Spider in the Beast Soul Forest. That is the beast soul of the Golden Core Realm. Now we can make a fortune, haha.
"Yeah, I'm lucky this time. After selling this beast soul, each of us can get at least three thousand spiritual stones. Then we won't have to worry about the materials for cultivation.
"It's still not as good as Lao Bao. I heard that this kid became a bounty ghost cultivator. He captured a late-stage golden elixir ghost a few days ago and earned tens of thousands of spiritual stones."
"This boy is really lucky. I want to catch the evil ghosts. But most of the evil ghosts are now imprisoned in ghost prisons or destroyed. The remaining ones have long gone to the human world. The ghost world can't touch them."
The last one was a stroke of luck.
"Isn't that right? Since the female slayer came back to power, she has taken drastic measures to improve the security of the ghost world. Now the ghost world has returned to peace. It's great.
"But I heard that Mr. Yinggou seems to be very dissatisfied with Mr. Ban, and the two adults will fight sooner or later.
"Shhh! You can say this nonsense, be careful if someone from their clan hears it, they will take you back and put you in a ghost prison!"
After the three ghost cultivators talked for a while, they continued on their way and flew towards the nearest ghost town.
On the small mound, ghosts were passing by, flying over, or stepping on them as they came and went.
But no one ever pays attention to this small mound.
Until the blood moon completely sets, the sky is illuminated by wisps of light, and the ghost shadows gradually disappear until not a single one is seen.
Boom!
At this time, the small mound suddenly cracked and bulged.
A coffin lid flew out, and immediately after, two figures flew out of the ground.
The two of them were Lin Jichen and Chu Hongling.
"Master Lin, isn't this coffin too small? Every time I go in, people are squeezed to death.
Chu Hongling complained with a red face.
Lin Jichen smiled bitterly and said: "I can't help it. This sun-shielding coffin is just like this. It's small, but at least it can block the sun energy and hide easily without being discovered. You can feel aggrieved."
Chu Hongling wasn't angry at all, she just complained a little. She was almost used to sleeping together with Lin Jichen every day these days. "By the way, what is a beast soul? A soul ring???" Chu Hongling thought of it.
I asked Lin Jichen curiously about what I heard about the chat just now.
Lin Jichen rolled his eyes and complained: "You think you are a Douluo. The beast soul is the soul of the demon beast. It is the soul body born after the death of the demon beast. Ghost cultivators can improve their cultivation by hunting beast souls, and they can also use it.
The material of the beast soul increases the strength, just like humans hunting monsters."
"So the ghosts in the ghost world all appear after death.
"Wrong, people will not become ghosts after death. Ghosts are a race that has already existed. They are spiritual bodies naturally formed by the Yin energy between heaven and earth. The same goes for humans and beasts. Humans and beasts are the Yang energy between heaven and earth.
Naturally formed.
"Ah? Didn't humans evolve into apes?"
Chu Hongling asked in surprise, then she smiled sheepishly: "I forgot this is a game, it's too serious, this should be just a game setting, right?
Lin Jichen shook his head and laughed: "No, I think what is in the game is true. The theory of evolution in reality is just a construct. Many people believe it, but it does not mean it must be true. The world view in "Eight Desolations" is
It is believed that all things in the world, and even the entire universe, are naturally formed from the energy of chaos. Flowers, plants, trees, mountains and rivers are all formed naturally. Then why can't people do the same?
Chu Hongling was thoughtful. This was the first time she heard such an argument, but she felt it made some sense.
In fact, with the advancement of science and technology, the theory of evolution has long been doubted and denied by many scientists.
However, there is still no accurate explanation of how human beings appeared.
"According to what you said, where did the evil ghosts in "Eight Wastelands" come from? I have seen many ghosts, which were created by people who were wronged after death. All of them have great resentment towards human beings and kill people on sight.
"What's the reason?" Chu Hongling asked again.
Lin Jichen responded: "It is still Qi. It is formed by Yin Qi contaminated by the resentment and hatred of people before death. You can think of it as dyed cloth. Ghosts born from pure Yin Qi are like pure white cloth. Everything is different."
I don’t know, but ghosts stained by resentment or hatred are like cloth dyed with other colors. After they are born, they will carry the resentment of those people and in turn become extremely hostile to people.
Chu Hongling nodded as if she understood, and then said: "So, the enemies you killed before will also condense their resentment and become ghosts? Maybe in this ghost world?
Lin Jichen shook his head with a smile and said: "The monks are acting against heaven. Once they die, they are rejected by the laws of heaven and earth and cannot turn into Yin Qi. Besides, the fight between monks, let alone the physical body, even the Nascent Soul cannot
If you are allowed to survive, will it give you a chance to become a ghost?"
"That's it." Chu Hongling suddenly realized and said with emotion: "It seems that ghosts can be divided into good and bad.
Lin Jichen smiled and said: "That's nature. Monsters, beasts, ghosts, and humans, the four ethnic groups, all have good and evil, good and bad. Although the sect teaches us to subjugate and eliminate demons, in my opinion, it is not
You cannot kill someone with a stick. All things have spirits. The most important thing is to distinguish between good and evil and have a clear conscience."
Chu Hongling's beautiful eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt enlightened.
"My benefactor said so well!
Xiaoqian suddenly appeared at this time. She had been hiding near the mound, secretly protecting the two of them, for fear that they would be discovered.
"The words of my benefactor are better than the words of a saint. This is the true righteous monk! Please pay homage to Xiaoqian!"
Lin Jichen smiled sheepishly and said, "No, no, no, I'm just talking casually. Talking so much will waste a lot of time. Let's leave quickly during the day."
In the past few days, the two of them have been heading towards Youcheng.
Although there is no sunlight in the ghost world, it is also divided into day and night, and ghosts like the night and hate the day.
Therefore, Lin Jichen has been walking by day and night for the past few days. As long as the blood moon appears, he and Chu Hongling will hide in the sun coffin and bury them in the soil.
This method is still very effective and is very safe for several days.
At this rate, we can reach Youcheng in a few days.
