A few years ago, the city of God was invaded by demons, and the war between humans and demons completely ignited.
Countless monsters came out of the mountains and swamps and plundered the human cities.
However, cities above the human county seat have defensive formations and are guarded by martial arts experts. When monsters invade the city, the gains often outweigh the losses.
Therefore, these monsters set their sights on the villages with the largest number of people in Dazhou.
The villages of Dazhou are very similar to those of ancient times on Earth.
The population is sparse and transportation is inconvenient.
He usually makes a living by farming.
The county boss rarely cares about the life and death of these mud-legged people, except when collecting taxes.
The Great Zhou Dynasty.
Yuzhou, a remote and quiet village.
A crow stood on the crooked neck tree at the end of the village and sang low.
Its dead fish-like eyes stared closely at the food below.
On the ground below, there was a layer of corpses.
Judging from the clothes of these corpses, they should be villagers from this village.
On the corpse, several skinny wild wolves were gnawing at it.
puff!
A sharp arrow shot over.
The arrow passed through the wolf's eyeball and penetrated its brain.
The wild wolf fell to the ground at the sound.
The other wild wolves saw this and fled one after another.
At this time, a county soldier wearing armor and carrying a bow came over, quickly pulled out the arrow from the wild wolf's head, wiped it, and threw it back into the quiver on his back.
After checking carefully, the county soldier walked towards the crowd behind him.
"Lord Magistrate, there is no one alive."
The county soldier said to the county magistrate who was wearing a blue Zhou official robe.
Hearing this, the county magistrate cupped his hands with the man and woman beside him and said: "Two Taoist priests, this is Wuteng Village, but... alas, we are a step late again."
"Junior sister, I'll go take a look first."
"Okay, senior brother, be careful."
These two people were disciples of a small Taoist temple nearby.
I heard that this Taoist temple was founded by an immortal from Shuiyue Immortal Island who went to Dongzhou.
The name of the Taoist temple is Qingfeng Temple.
Although these two Qingfengguan disciples are not very old, they are both Qi Refining monks.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the county magistrate, as the head of a county, to accompany him in person.
"Master Taoist, thank you for your work!"
The young Taoist priest asked to see the body, but the county magistrate refused.
If Zheng Dong were here, he might not even recognize that the young Taoist priest in front of him is actually the disciple of Ning Daoxuan, whose Taoist name is Qingjing.
Although Taoist Qingjing looked like a young man in ancient times, it was because he had been cultivating Taoism in ancient times for decades, and his childishness had long since faded away.
But in reality, he still looks like a Taoist boy.
Qingjing walked carefully to the body and examined it carefully.
Compared with the timid and shy appearance "when he was a child", the Qingjing Taoist "as an adult" looks calm, calm and very reliable.
Behind him, the junior sister looked at him with a hint of admiration.
After inspecting the corpses, Taoist Qingjing walked back to the crowd. He took the handkerchief handed over by his junior sister and wiped his hands while saying: "From the appearance of these corpses, except for the marks of wild wolf bites, there are no other external injuries and no poisoning.
trace!"
Speaking of this, Taoist Taoist Qingjing's eyes became serious.
"So, there is probably a ghost causing trouble here!"
"well!"
Hearing the word "ghost", the county magistrate sighed and said, "Please ask the Taoist priest to help subdue this ghost. I will definitely give you all the spiritual stones and spiritual materials I promised you!"
"good."
Taoist Qingjing and his junior sister looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
...
This situation happened not only in Yuzhou, but also throughout the prehistoric times.
Such things as ghosts and monsters did not exist in the prehistoric times.
But as the fighting between humans and demons intensified, countless civilians died.
In the past, the original inhabitants of Dongzhou were composed of conscious bodies, which would automatically dissipate after death.
But things are different now. The original inhabitants of the ancient wilderness are gradually replacing their conscious bodies with their souls in reality.
After these people die, their souls do not disappear.
During the war, the number of deaths far exceeded the number of births.
If you want to be reincarnated, there are simply not enough places.
According to Zheng Dongding's rules, the Book of Truth is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
Therefore, these people who cannot be reincarnated and cannot dissipate have gradually become "black households".
Since the expansion of the prehistoric times.
The rule set by Zheng Dong is that, except for players, the original residents of the ancient wilderness will not increase or decrease artificially at will.
In other words, the original inhabitants of the prehistoric era had already made their decision at the moment when the prehistoric era expanded.
Maybe Zheng Dong didn't follow this rule in the early stage.
But Dongzhou expanded according to this rule.
The reason why Zheng Dong did this was that he hoped that the prehistoric era would not appear so abrupt in the future.
Therefore, he would not interfere with the death or birth of the original inhabitants of the ancient world.
What Zheng Dong is doing now is, at most, replacing the consciousness and the newly born population in the ancient world with souls in reality.
If there were no wars in the ancient world, the time flow rate would be thirty times that of the real world.
In reality, the souls after death are simply not enough for the population born in the prehistoric times.
After all, although there were only tens of millions of people in the prehistoric times, a population explosion at thirty times the time flow rate would make the population growth rate unimaginable.
But now in the prehistoric period, there is a war between the two races.
The population, let alone growth, has even experienced a cliff-like decline.
In addition, Zheng Dong has been replacing the conscious body with the soul in reality, which has resulted in the current "black house" situation.
Of course, he can continue to replace these "black accounts" with those consciousness bodies that have not been replaced.
But there will always be a day when the conscious body is replaced. At that time, there will be a scene of hundreds of ghosts running rampant in the ancient world, and it will become a ghost land.
If Zheng Dong stops reincarnating souls in reality, the problem will be even more serious.
These "black households" will appear on the earth.
Now governments of various countries, including the Extraordinary Association, have been vigorously promoting the cultivation of Weeping Blood Grass. In a few years, the earth will be enveloped in a sea of spiritual energy.
The appearance of these "ghosts" or "spirits" is not due to other reasons.
It's because of aura.
It is precisely because of the existence of spiritual energy that after death, the soul full of resentment will not dissipate and transform into a spirit body.
These spirits are often extremely hostile to living beings and will choose to harm living beings, thus creating a vicious cycle.
Zheng Dong led his soul into the ancient world, which meant that he regarded the ancient world as the underworld.
But the prehistoric world is not the underworld after all.
Spiritual beings and original inhabitants cannot coexist at all.
Unless...a real underworld is established in the wilderness.
However, to establish the underworld, part of the reincarnation authority of the Book of Truth must be divided.
Qiyun Mountains.
Zheng Dong sat cross-legged in the Taoist palace.
It has been a month since he broke through the golden elixir stage, and Zheng Dong has long since stabilized his realm and become a golden elixir master.
Although his own realm has been broken through, a prehistoric crisis has appeared before his eyes.
This crisis is precisely the spirit body.
After thinking for a long time, Zheng Dong felt that it was time to build an underworld.
Perhaps, this underworld does not need to be very big, but it should be enough to accommodate these ghosts and monsters that cause trouble in the world.
As for whether part of the authority of reincarnation will be divided in the future, Zheng Dong decided to take another look.
