When he was about to use the "God-given Soul Suppressing Seal" to kill the beast's soul, Wei Hao discovered a problem.
The soul of Fei Beast has not been condensed, and it is completely different from when it was in the Yang World.
"Um?"
It was a bit strange, so Wei Hao used the strange boy to find out what was going on.
Although the soul of the beast took shape, it soon disintegrated into tiny particles and disappeared into the space like smoke and dust.
"Why is this happening?"
Wei Hao could be sure that the body of the beheaded beast was real flesh and blood, not a fake thing condensed with magic power.
The soul and body were originally extremely closely integrated. Most of the creatures that Wei Hao killed in the Yang World had their souls in a complete state when they escaped.
When the soul leaves the body, it is like pouring wine from a kettle.
However, now, the Fei Beast's soul seems to have directly evaporated into water vapor instead of condensing into liquid water.
"It seems that the difference between the Yang world and the underworld is quite big."
It is also a dynamic balance between one's own body and the strange aura around it. With a strong will, one can suppress the invisible aura of death, making the body incorruptible.
Recalling the classics I read in many places, everything about human beings is really subtle. No wonder demons and monsters are envious and greedy.
When ordinary creatures enter the underworld, they will probably be corroded into a pile of loess by the energy of death very quickly.
However, after humans receive education, or they have experienced many hardships and hardships, their spiritual will can resist this kind of death.
Monsters can also master this seemingly very simple ability, but it requires wisdom and humanistic influence. Otherwise, individual monsters will never be able to understand the different emotions of human development.
It is common for human nature to suppress animal nature.
However, monsters often have their bestiality overpowering their humanity and can easily abandon their own kind. Only when they gain humanity can they undergo many changes.
Burdens and benefits are two sides of the same coin.
Standing on the spot and rethinking the differences, Wei Hao sheathed his sword, and then boldly guessed that Fei Beast should be dead. The reason why the soul was not fully formed was not that it was scattered, but that it was in the underworld and there was no need to condense.
After the physical body of a normal intelligent life dies, it has to report to the underworld and condense into shape so that it can move forward and have a direction.
And the destination is the underworld.
But since we are already in the underworld, there is no need for this.
Even the Gosi people who are needed in the upper world are not necessary in the underworld. They can just find a place to reincarnate themselves.
"Gentleman, why don't you suppress its soul?"
"This is the underworld, so it's not very convenient."
With that said, Wei Hao explained to Gouzi a little that after the things in the underworld die, it is very likely that they can disperse directly without leaving the body, and then gather and report to the place where they can be reincarnated.
"Wouldn't it be quite troublesome to deal with strong enemies?"
Gouzi discovered the point and asked hurriedly.
"No, those who can compete with me in the underworld are at least ghosts and immortals. Then they must have some status. If a guy with this status is destroyed by me, he will not be able to escape reincarnation in the underworld like the Yang world. After all, if you are beaten to death by my body here, it is impossible to 'transcend in the underworld', because you are already in the underworld."
"Yes."
"So, the more ghosts and immortals they are, the more polite they have to be to us. After all, originally they were able to live freely, but if we beat them to death, then they have no choice but to reincarnate. Think about it, it's like Who would be happy with the high-ranking officials in the Yang world who have just begun to enjoy the blessings and are dismissed from their posts and investigated, exiled for three thousand miles, and maybe their entire family is executed?"
After such an analysis, Gouzi suddenly felt reassured, but he still felt that there was something strange here, as if his own gentleman was comforting himself.
Yan Xuanxin, who was in Wei Hao's pocket, remained silent, thinking to himself: Although Mr. Elephant's words were reasonable, he only mentioned ghosts and immortals. What if he was an earthly immortal or even an immortal?
Just because you can't find it in the Yang world doesn't mean it doesn't exist in the underworld.
"Keep on going!"
Wei Hao spoke firmly and continued walking forward. The majestic palace in the distance seemed to have become much larger. It seemed that he was finally getting closer.
After walking for a while, the scenery along the way was constantly changing. Just a moment ago, it was spring and the flowers were blooming. After a few miles, it was scorching summer, and soon it was bleak in autumn and winter. In just a short time, the four seasons went through one cycle.
"I have long heard that the four seasons of the underworld are uncertain, and it seems to be true."
Wei Hao didn't know what time and space the underworld was in, but when day and night changed, he judged that the movement of the sun and the yin were basically the same as in the human world. Although the stars in the night sky moved extremely fast, the way the Beidou rotated was not the same as in the Yang world.
different.
Polaris, which is positioned through the Beidou, is basically in the west-north direction.
It can be seen that the time and space of the underworld are similar to those of the Yang world.
Only the power to build the underworld should be different.
"I heard that one day on earth lasts one year in hell. I don't know if that's true."
"I'm afraid it's true, especially for ordinary ghosts. But for Goosi people, because they have practiced magic, have magical powers, and have divine power, they naturally know the changes. Traveling between the Yin and Yang realms,
There should be a way to automatically heal the discomfort of the passage of time.”
However, Wei Hao was not sure that the entire underworld was like this. After all, he had probably judged that the underworld was like Spring and Autumn through the words of different Goushi people before.
It's a pity that I couldn't learn two tricks from Yuan Junping, otherwise wouldn't it be easy to walk in this underworld?
While I was thinking about it, I saw a short pavilion beside the road with a sign erected with the word "五里" written on it.
This brand is probably a milestone.
The short pavilion was quite lively, with many scholars chatting and joking there, and I knew one of them, Wei Hao.
"Brother Chen, where are you going?"
"Hey, Elephant, are you passing by too?" Chen Mengnan, who was holding a folding fan, immediately said hello, then invited Wei Hao to take a seat, and introduced his friends one by one, "This is my classmate, whose surname is Wei Hao, whose surname is Elephant.
He always likes to fight against injustice. His martial arts skills are absolutely superb. In the past, I used to fight and be jealous in Goulan, all because of his ability. Come, come, let's drink together, drink."
After saying that, he poured the wine left and right. Wei Hao was very happy and sat down directly with his fists clasped and a smile on his face.
After some pleasantries and chatting, Chen Mengnan asked Wei Hao what he was doing. Wei Hao said that he was going to file a lawsuit and seek justice, but he didn't mention the 72,000 people who died in vain.
After chatting for a long time, someone finally said: "Brother Wei, it is inevitable that Shangguan will have difficulties when doing things. And there will always be times when you don't check for a while. If you remind me tactfully, it won't matter if the matter is settled quietly. If you publicize it in a big way, I'm afraid the superiors will
I will fight to the end and will never admit my mistakes."
"Hmph! If someone upholds justice for others, is that still wrong?!"
winter!
Wei Hao threw the wine bowl on the table and glared at the person who spoke.
"Hey, hey, don't be upset about the elephant. Don't be upset. This friend is also a scholar and comes from an official family. He naturally understands the ways of the officialdom. It's always good to have him give advice."
"No! It's not impossible to give face in official circles, but human life is at stake. Officials can afford to delay it, and it costs them their career as officials. But how can the ordinary people below delay? If they delay for one day, they may die! Brother Chen, Don’t mention this again!”
Wei Hao frowned again, "Brother Chen, I'm not telling you, you weren't like this before. Last year, I fought with those scholars, and you secretly supported me and openly supported me. Why are you so hesitant now?"
"Alas... Xiangxiang, I am just the son of a merchant. I dare to fight against a few scholars in the county. But the people you want to fight now are all high-ranking officials. How dare I make a mistake..."
"..."
After hearing Chen Mengnan's words, Wei Hao was silent for a while, nodded, and said with emotion, "Indeed, I can't impose my ideas on others. Although you and I are not at the point where we can't work together in different ways, but this matter , I still have to persevere. Brother Chen, I hope you won’t blame me."
"How could it be, how could it be, what did you say, Elephant? It's not too late for me to admire you, I just want to make you more considerate and have no intention of complaining."
"Hahahaha...good!"
Wei Hao nodded, picked up the wine bowl and took a deep drink, and then said, "Then continue on your way, so as not to delay the interest of everyone. Farewell!"
After getting up, Wei Hao clasped his fists, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, several scholars behind him caught up with him. One of them held a folding fan and lit Wei Hao's hand, shouting: "You don't know the heights of the sky, do you know where the Yamen opens? If Shangguan loses his face, how can you be there?" Eat the good fruit!”
"It's time to worry about it. Whether it's a slap on the board or a cell, it's up to one person!"
"Arrogant! Don't you hear that officials protect each other? You are suing the officials now! When you sue the officials, they all know each other, and maybe they are related by marriage. You are a reckless outsider. If you go there, I'm afraid you will die. !”
"Death? If you're afraid of death, you won't be responsible for such a thing!"
After saying this, Wei Hao's eyes widened, "There is no need to persuade my friends, my mind has been made up! My mind has been made up!"
"You are so stubborn!"
"A happy ending for you!"
…
However, Wei Hao paid no attention to them and kept walking forward. After a few steps, he was suddenly excited. When he looked again, there was a Wuli Pavilion and Chen Mengnan, a scholar.
It's just a wisp of smoke, an empty space.
Wei Hao suddenly understood that this was the experience of the City Emperor during his lifetime.
I'm afraid that the city emperor also had many relatives and friends as lobbyists during his lifetime, telling him not to be too righteous and to act more tactfully.
The most important thing is to always think about saving some face for Shangguan.
But obviously, the city emperor did not do this because human life was at stake, and because the people were different from the officials. They were too weak and could not afford to wait.
Give Shangguan enough face, give him time to act, and then deliver justice to the people...
Is this delayed justice still called justice?
The decision made by the City Emperor during his lifetime was truly resolute and there was no turning back at all.
No, he originally had a way of turning back, but he cut off his own way of turning back.
It's amazing.
Wei Hao just experienced it once and felt the difficulty.
Relatives and friends who have been helpful to me in the past, comrades I met accidentally when I was studying for enlightenment, and officials in the officialdom who are willing to give some advice. With the comprehensive persuasion of these human relationships, principles, and opportunities, it is really remarkable that I can still stick to my ethics and principles. not easy.
It is precisely this difficulty that makes it impossible to turn back.
Because this is the path that I have to take, not for fame and future, but for the morality in my heart.
It is one's own morality, and it is also the justice that ordinary people long for.
"Oh...it's so damn hard."
Thinking back on it, my scalp immediately went numb. If I had been a little less determined, I was afraid that I would sink into the underworld and never want to return to the world of the sun again.
After all, I still have the ability to protect myself from demons and ghosts. How did the city emperor act under huge risks when he was alive?
amazing.
Continuing to immerse himself in his journey, Wei Hao finally saw the image of a palace in the distance, towering into the clouds and connecting the sky and the earth. It was even more like a sculpture than a palace.
This is a giant in robes, standing with an arch. However, his face cannot be seen because the sky only just reaches his chest and abdomen, where a pair of overlapping hands suppresses the clouds.
And deep in the clouds, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, shining on Wei Hao.
Wei Hao looked at those eyes, his mind suddenly shook, and he suddenly felt his own insignificance.
This is the natural emotion that mortals feel when facing majestic mountains.
However, these eyes were a little different. They never blinked and were always observing the changes in the underworld.
Wei Hao, a creature that broke into the underworld, naturally could not escape the observation of these eyes.
Standing there, Wei Hao had a strange feeling. Although he was very small, he didn't have to be afraid, because the owner of these eyes had no ill intentions towards him.
"What a strange feeling..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed something changed in the sword pouch. When he opened it, Wei Hao was stunned, "What is going on?"
