Outside the palace, the anxious voice of a guard suddenly came from the room, obviously he had something to report.
Seeing this, the five people looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment. No one spoke. It was not until Jiang Chen spoke that they came back to their senses.
"Don't pay attention to me, ask him to come in and ask what happened."
After the five people heard this, they came to their senses. The oldest one even shouted out: "Get in quickly."
This attitude is really not good. If it were in the past, they would never be like this. But today is different. They had just promised Jiang Chen that they would manage the city of Wan Si. But as soon as they finished speaking, someone came over to report the situation. This was not to beat them. face?
The five people were angry at the person who came to report the news. He came at the wrong time and his attitude was naturally not good.
"I would like to inform you, five adults, that fighting broke out again in Beicheng, and the situation is very serious. General Zhao personally led his troops there, but failed to suppress it. He just sent a letter asking for our support."
The visitor didn't know that he had unintentionally offended the five adults in the palace, so he dutifully reported the news he had received.
"It's them again. Everyone is dead and they don't know where to stop. All the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division are dispatched. We must capture all those who make trouble. Anyone who dares to resist will be shot without mercy."
It's not good to cause trouble at any time, but now, isn't this an eye-opener for them? The five people were angry at the troublemaker's lack of appreciation, and directly ordered all the soldiers and horses in the city to dispatch, and even issued a killing order to kill all those people. People who dare to resist.
In this regard, Jiang Chen just watched from the sidelines without saying anything, let alone interfering with their decision.
"My subordinates are ignorant and make the Patriarch laugh." It was not until the man accepted the order that the five of them said to Jiang Chen with a mocking smile.
"It's not your fault. It's because I didn't think carefully and didn't take them into consideration when I built the City of Wasted Death. This laid the hidden dangers for the City of Wasted Death."
Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't care about it.
As early as when the man came in to report, Jiang Chen knew what had happened. The city of Fusi is so big, and as long as Jiang Chen is willing, anything that happens here cannot be hidden from his perception. Therefore, he knows as soon as he thinks What happened.
The so-called North City refers to the area to the north of Wushu City. Wushu City is divided into five areas, named after East, West, South, North, and Middle, and is known as the Five Cities. And among the five people in the palace, one person is responsible for one city.
Originally, there was no difference between the five cities of the City of Wasted Death, but later, due to the increasing number of wandering souls, among the five cities, the North City and the South City gradually changed.
For some special reasons, there are many wandering souls in the Netherworld who are unwilling to be reincarnated. After these wandering souls come to the City of Wasted Death, they will be placed in the southern city to live.
There is yang life during life, and there is yin life after death. When a living person dies, his soul goes to the underworld. When a ghost dies, he does not become a ghost, but his soul completely disappears, and his true spirit returns to heaven and earth.
Many creatures were so severely hit during their lifetime that they were unwilling to be human again or start over from scratch. They just wanted to completely disappear from this world, so they were unwilling to go to Naihe Bridge and reincarnate.
Instead, it stays in the underworld until its life span is exhausted and the true spirit returns to heaven and earth.
Yin lifespans are often longer than Yang lifespans, so these ghosts can live in the netherworld for a long time, which means that they will live in Wusi City for a long time. In order to facilitate the management of them, the managers of Wusi City directly concentrated them in Nancheng.
Over time, Nancheng became a gathering place for these ghosts.
Of course, letting them live in the City of Wasted Death also has another purpose, which is to reawaken their vitality and give them the idea of reincarnation again. Encouraging people to live a life is also a meritorious deed.
Apart from living longer, these ghosts in Nancheng have no other problems. In stark contrast, the ghosts in North City not only live longer, but each one has great strength.
If you don't become a Golden Immortal, you will eventually die. Even if you are a Mysterious Immortal, your life span is 560,000 years, but there will be a day when your life span will be exhausted.
When these non-Golden Immortal monks die due to exhaustion of lifespan, the soul they have cultivated through hard work will collapse, transform back into the form of soul, and then fall into the nether world, and enter reincarnation like those ordinary creatures.
Reincarnation.
However, once you embark on the path of cultivation, you will undergo otherworldly changes and possess powerful strength. Ordinary mortals are not willing to die even if ants live in vain, let alone them with powerful power?
They have worked hard to climb to a high position and have power and influence far beyond ordinary people, but in the end, they still cannot escape death. How can they be willing?
Of course they didn't want to, so they caused the most trouble after their deaths.
It's okay for low-level monks. Because of their low strength, their souls after death are no different from ordinary mortals. But once they become Yin Gods and their souls begin to transform, they will immediately become different.
Although after their death, both the yin and yang gods will disintegrate and transform into souls again. But in the end, the essence is still there. Even if they transform into souls again, the remaining power is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
The stronger the strength, the stronger the soul formed after death. Some people's souls even have power comparable to that of gods.
What lives in Beicheng are the ghosts formed after the death of the monks. They may not necessarily die because of exhaustion of life span, but some of them are killed by others, leaving only the remnants of their souls, and they escape to the netherworld to eke out an ignoble existence.
In short, although the origins of these ghosts are extremely complicated, they have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely powerful.
After their death, they did not want to be reincarnated, so they chose to stay in the underworld forcibly, trying to resurrect and follow the path of immortality again.
As for why they are unwilling to reincarnate, the reason is simple. If they are not as good as the Golden Immortal and do not have the protection of the immortal light, then after entering reincarnation, they will be affected by the mystery in the womb.
If you are lucky enough to be able to solve the mystery of the womb, that's fine. But if you are unlucky and cannot solve the mystery of the womb, you will be in a state of confusion for the rest of your life and will have no chance to set foot on the immortal path.
To put it simply, if you have not cultivated to the level of Jinxian, the results after reincarnation are uncontrollable. Whether you will be a man or a woman after reincarnation, and whether you have the appearance of cultivation, are all impossible to determine.
This is tantamount to gambling on life, so those ghosts would rather choose to stay in the Netherworld forcibly than reincarnate.
As for whether they can be resurrected after they stay, that is nonsense? Under the Taoist, if you are dead, you are dead. It is not that simple to be resurrected. Unless there is a big shot (referring to the innate Taoist) who helps, otherwise,
On their own, they may not be able to be resurrected in this life.
As long as the true spirit is still there, the Innate Taoist Master can easily resurrect a creature below the Golden Immortal. Does it sound simple? It is indeed very simple, but he is the Innate Taoist Master, transcending the long river of fate, and has endless fatigue. Others
How can it be compared?
This is just like Jiang Chen's previous life. The top rich people can easily buy a villa in the capital, but ordinary people may not be able to afford a bathroom in the capital even if they live a poor life.
Resurrection is similar to a house in the capital. The innate Taoist Lord is the top rich man, and the creatures under the Golden Immortal are ordinary people. The former can easily buy a house in the capital, but the latter cannot do it in his lifetime.
Resurrection is so difficult for those living beings under the dead Golden Immortal. It is almost impossible in the world, and not even one in ten thousand people can do it.
Of course, there is a way to seize a body in this world. If you seize the body of another person, you can indeed be resurrected. But this does not mean that it is not the right path after all. Once exposed, everyone will definitely cry out and beat you, and even Heaven will hold you accountable.
In current parlance, seizing a house is an illegal act. Once exposed, the consequences can be imagined. If you buy a house through illegal means, not only may people get in, but the house may even be confiscated.
In the eyes of Heaven, they are already dead people, labeled as dead. If they appear in the world of the living, they will inevitably be hit hard by Heaven, and they will inevitably be struck by lightning. Even if they take away their bodies, they cannot change this.
.
They were already dead, but they were unwilling to die. They wanted to be resurrected, but they couldn't do it, and they were unwilling to reincarnate. Over time, they became lonely ghosts wandering in the netherworld.
Can't live, can't die.
It's a pity that there is no ghost path in this world, otherwise, they can switch to the ghost path instead of just spending it until the yin life is exhausted. Although the yin life is longer than the yang life, there will be a day when it is exhausted.
, they will disappear completely.
After the city of Fusi was established, these lonely ghosts got the news from nowhere and came here one after another, wandering around.
There was nothing wrong with them. The five men could not expel them, so they took them into the city. Their original intention was to gather them together and make it easier to manage them.
Who would have known that this move would actually lay the foundation for disaster in the city of Fusui. These people relied on their strength and were not restless at all. Although they were not able to seize power, they would gather in groups to cause trouble every now and then, fight, and mess up Beicheng.
one slice.
Just now, there were ghosts making trouble again in the North City, and the scale was relatively large. Even the general responsible for maintaining the security of the North City couldn't deal with it, so he came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for help.
As for why they are making trouble, it has to do with the cultivation of ghosts. As mentioned before, there is no ghost way in the ancient world. Since there is no ghost way, how can ghosts improve their strength?
Simple, the simplest way, and the least troublesome way, is to look for all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can enhance the power of the soul. As long as you eat them, you can become stronger immediately, or even directly restore the Yang and resurrect the dead. That is not the case.
impossible.
Take Xiang Yu for example. After his death, instead of becoming weaker, he became stronger and stronger. Even the Wu Clan found many treasures of heaven and earth for him.
But obviously, it is not easy to find the treasures of nature, materials and earth. Some people have a hard time finding them even if they spend their entire lives. Therefore, there is a second way, which is cannibalism.
If you want to become stronger, just devour the rest of the ghosts. As long as you eat enough souls, you can continue to become stronger. Even if you are as powerful as Daluo Jinxian, it is not impossible.
But this method has a drawback, that is, cannibalism is ultimately displeasing to heaven and earth. Once it reaches a certain level, it will be punished by heaven, and there is basically no possibility of surviving it.
To put it simply, this method is chronic suicide. The stronger you are, the closer you are to death.
Many powerful ghosts, generals and kings in the Netherworld, in addition to being born ghosts and gods, have become stronger by devouring their own kind.
The North City is inhabited by powerful ghosts. If they want to become stronger, the easiest way is to devour their surrounding companions.
Even chronic suicide cannot stop some people's determination to become stronger, so chaos continues in Beicheng.
"These wandering souls are truly lawless. No matter what method is used, they cannot be restrained."
Among the five people, the City Lord of Beicheng spoke with an extremely angry tone when he talked about them. Obviously, in order to deal with them, the City Lord of Beicheng has been worried about these years.
"It's your approach that's wrong. Back then, we advised you to give them some benefits so that they could have something to look forward to. In this way, they can be used by you, and they won't cause trouble for you every day like they do now!
"
The highest-ranking lord of the Central City couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the lord of the North City complain.
The reason why these lonely ghosts came to the City of Wasted Death was because of the name of the Sage of Shangqing?
They feel that this is the orthodoxy left by the Sage of Shangqing in the Netherworld. If they establish a good relationship with them, they can still reincarnate through their relationship even if they cannot ask the masters of Shangqing Palace to help them return to the sun.
This will ensure that they can return to the path of immortality in their next life and avoid living in a state of confusion.
Their calculation was quite good, but unfortunately, the Lord of the North City thought that they were a trouble, or that their existence itself affected the order of the City of Fusi, or the Netherworld.
Therefore, the Lord of Beicheng has been thinking of ways to get rid of them, and it would be best to send them all into reincarnation.
The two sides couldn't urinate in the same pot, so conflicts naturally arose. The ghosts were dissatisfied with the North City Lord's attitude, so they tried every means to cause trouble for him all day long. However, the North City Lord was unable to expel them due to various scruples.
Then, things gradually evolved to this point. Once they made a mistake and were caught by the North City Lord, they would immediately suppress them with thunderous means.
Just as the city lord of the middle city said, if the city lord of the north city is willing to take a step back and give them some benefits, then these ghosts will not become a trouble, but will become his help.
However, the lord of Beicheng did not choose to do this and fought them to the bottom with determination.
Jiang Chen agrees with his attitude. Even though the Shangqing Palace is not strong, it is still the orthodoxy of a saint. Not everyone can come to seek relationships. There are some benefits that you can only ask for if I give them to you. If I don’t give them to you,
Then you can't have it.
Moreover, whether it is to restore Yang or protect others from reincarnation, it is not a simple matter.
