Chapter 241 Ghost Domain, Nie Fang, Emperor Corpse
Chen Ji and Mu Xiaoxiao entered the ghost domain.
This is located at the lowest level of the Nine Domains, where the traditional concept of reincarnation is located, which is equivalent to the underworld.
But the ghost domain is different from the underworld.
There is no judge of the underworld, no bull-headed horse face, and no King Yama—Ksitigarbha, who is in charge of guarding the underworld.
Instead, there are some ghosts who can practice.
The ghost clan is a race, but after the creatures in the Nine Domains die, they turn into ghosts and come to the ghost domain. If their spiritual consciousness can stay awake, they can practice again and become a member of the ghost clan.
So, unlike Chen Ji’s imagined coldness and emptiness, most of the ghost domains are filled with towns and cities, and their souls float like people. Eating is similar to absorbing yin energy. If they carry some treasures, they can be more human-like.
"There is also the concept of life and death reincarnation on the earth."
Mu Xiaoxiao said suddenly, and turned his gaze to him: "And our words here are almost similar to those on Earth."
"And then?" Chen Ji laughed.
"Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Mu Xiaoxiao dissatisfied.
"...is a coincidence!"
Chen Ji didn't want to delve into it at first, but since Mu Xiaoxiao brought it up, he thought about it again.
After a long while, she answered her: "If coincidences are excluded, then the culture of Xia Kingdom in the middle of the earth is similar to your Nine Regions, and it should be caused by some kind of influence."
"..."
Mu Xiaoxiao said quietly: "It's nothing to say, what if it's a coincidence?"
Chen Ji couldn't help laughing, "It's a coincidence that you and I speak the same language, so the super-dimensional blind date just happened to search for your world, which allowed me to connect with you, just like the world of martial arts, the probability of one in a billion makes you I ran into you!"
Mu Xiaoxiao retorted subconsciously: "I don't want to be so predestined with you..."
She closed her mouth, and then said with some hesitation: "It's a coincidence... If there is some kind of influence across the world, what do you think it is?"
She now understands more and more how difficult it is to straddle two worlds.
The Nine Realms have been going on for hundreds of millions of years, there are countless strong people, and there are as many geniuses as sand, but no one can cross the void and detect a world different from the Nine Realms.
No matter how strong the strong man is, no matter how talented the genius is, they cannot leave the Nine Realms.
Except Chen Ji.
No wonder that when the first electron from the earth arrives in the Nine Domains, it will make the Nine Domains' Destiny so excited, releasing billions of brilliance to celebrate, as if the Nine Domains are reborn!
"Who knows."
Chen Ji spread his hands, "Maybe it's me in the future, or it might be a certain four-dimensional life form, a powerful existence beyond the universe, an ancient god, etc."
Mu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, and then said longingly: "I really want to see such an existence."
Chen Ji took out his mobile phone and showed it to her.
Mu Xiaoxiao realized it all of a sudden, and suddenly went crazy: "I'm not talking about your idiot Maien! Forget it, hurry up and find out that Lin Zhiyang! I don't want to waste my energy on this shit!"
It is enough for Lin Zhiyang to rest in peace that the dignified empress can remember her name.
Chen Ji walked with her into the depths of Huangquan.
The so-called depth is a place close to the long river of time.
The division of the Nine Domains was not accomplished overnight. The Ghost Domain was created artificially. The Samsara Tianzun, whom Chen Ji had met once, contributed to the establishment of the Ghost Domain.
The deeper you go into the ghost domain, the stronger the yin energy becomes, and soon even the ghosts can't bear it. Chen Ji can't see anyone here, only some lonely souls floating forward.
"Not everyone can reincarnate."
Mu Xiaoxiao simply explained to him: "Only ghosts with firm willpower and strong soul bodies can float through the long river of time and enter the cycle of reincarnation. Most of the soul bodies will be wiped out by the power of reincarnation. Next bit of inspiration.
But while the aura exists, it will also be eroded by the law of life. "
Chen Ji nodded slightly. He also felt that the mythical judge Hades is unreliable. A person’s crime cannot be judged simply. It was a crime in the old era, but it is not in the new era. It is difficult for the judge system to keep up with the development of the times, leading to wrong judgments.
The two continued to walk deep.
Before the long river of white years, a large number of souls floated, unable to pass through.
This is a river where hundreds of millions of souls from the Nine Regions are buried.
Chen Ji raised his eyes and saw no one, so he told Mu Xiao the legend of Po Meng.
"I have seen this legend."
Mu Xiaoxiao said: "If there is also Meng Po in the Nine Regions, then she should be a practitioner, who can gain detachment from the sorrows and joys of a ghost's life."
Chen Ji laughed dumbfounded again, and continued to move forward without commenting.
The two of them passed through the long river of whiteness together. Chen Ji didn't feel any strangeness, so he walked as soon as he wanted, stepping on the long river of time easily, his body was not restrained.
On the contrary, she is a majestic empress, with a little difficulty in walking, and occasionally loses her mind due to some illusions.
Chen Ji saw a small mountain village appear in the long river of time, and a woman transformed into a woman, beckoning to Mu Xiaoxiao gently, making her stay still for a long time, before stepping on the illusion.
"Is she your mother?" Chen Ji asked.
It's a pity that the empress, who had been sleeping for a hundred thousand years, didn't answer him, and walked forward in silence.
"I have time to visit your hometown."
Chen Ji said another sentence.
Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head, glanced at him, and seemed to nod, but she couldn't see clearly in the vast white river of time.
The two set foot on the opposite bank together.
An illusory figure of a middle-aged man appeared, bowed to Chen Ji, did not speak, stared at Chen Ji, and then slowly disappeared.
is Venerable Samsara, Chen Ji met him once.
Wait, the person who came to inform you earlier should also be sent by him, right?
Otherwise, few people can cross the long river of time and come to the other side!
"Leave him alone."
Mu Xiaoxiao was not surprised at all, and walked forward step by step: "There are records that after Emperor Youming was killed, his body was buried on the other side. Let's take a look."
She walked very slowly, one step at a time.
Chen Ji walked a few steps before he remembered something: "I forgot to bring a stick of incense to that Emperor Youming."
Mu Xiaoxiaobai glanced at him, "I am afraid that there are not many incenses that can be lit on the other side in the Nine Regions. Just lighting it can cause unpredictable consequences, including our coming here."
She said, she couldn't help laughing.
Chen Ji saw her struggling to walk, and also laughed. He himself didn't feel anything special about the other shore. It seemed that he was indeed an existence beyond the Nine Realms.
Mu Xiaoxiao got here purely by strength.
"The other side is indeed a black land."
Chen Ji nodded and quickened his pace.
Although he didn't feel it, this ghostly place was cold and dead, and it wasn't a place for people to stay at all.
"it's common."
After listening to his complaints, Mu Xiaoxiao was quite proud: "It is not easy to come to the long river of time, and it is even rarer to be able to cross it, and to be able to walk freely on the other side without being suppressed by the laws here. domain, all—"
Her voice of showing off her strength stopped abruptly, and she opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked forward.
Chen Ji knew why she was surprised:
A large number of corpses appeared in front of them. They fell down in disorder under a soil slope. There were various types of corpses, including human beings, demons, armored ones, bamboo hats, half-human half-horse, and tall giants.
On the top of the slope, in front of an open tomb, the tombstone was broken.
The corpses surrounded the tomb, looking extremely strange and frightening in the dark and dead shore.
"It's all polluted."
Chen Ji said in a low voice.
Undoubtedly, these corpses are from the Continent of Divine Grace, their bodies are deformed, and there are many black flower branches wrapped around them. Just like in the small dark space, these black flower branches are in a deep sleep, sleeping inside the corpse.
"The place where the Nine Realms were broken is here!"
Mu Xiaoxiao calmed down and said, "But thinking about it, it's only natural that the Nine Regions instinctively reject these evil gods. They lock the black flowers on the other side and place them in a small dark space so that they cannot invade the Nine Regions. Otherwise, Today's Nine Territories don't know what it will become!"
She said, took out her Tianming mobile phone, and flicked her fingers at the screen.
Ding.
The fragments of Destiny in the mobile phone burst out, shaking the other shore, making the long river of time tumbling endlessly.
The Venerable Samsara appeared again, walking over with difficulty step by step, Chen Ji was surprised, even this existence couldn't walk on the other side at will?
Venerable Reincarnation also came to the tomb of Emperor Youming. He seemed surprised and did not disappear for a long time.
"I made them come."
Mu Xiaoxiao said something briefly, took a step, and walked towards the tomb of Emperor Youming on the slope.
Chen Ji was thoughtful, the Empress was taking the initiative to sway people, and let other people participate in this matter, instead of relying on her alone, this changed a lot for her domineering character.
"Wait, I'm going too!"
Mu Xiaoxiao smashed it with a punch, and frowned: "This is the power of the Nine Realms, they will use the law!"
In the distance, Venerable Reincarnation also took action. These corpses should not appear here, but now they appear, proving that something is wrong with the Nine Regions.
He raised his hand, and the white river of time came across. After touching the corpse, he was blocked by some strange force. Even the river of time could not wash away the strange power hidden in the black flower.
But a person hidden in the corpse was startled and jumped out.
"Lin Zhiyang?!"
Chen Ji noticed him immediately. This guy was still wearing the dark and quiet cloak that was pulled from the corpse. He jumped up from the pile of corpses and ran quickly towards the grave.
He seems not to be affected by the other side, running fast!
"Don't run!"
Chen Ji chased after him, his speed was much faster than Mu Xiaoxiao and Venerable Samsara, and also much faster than Lin Zhiyang, chasing up from the dirt **** stepping on the corpse, knocking off the black flowers that were stretching towards him along the way , Lin Zhiyang must be caught.
But at this moment, a long spear roared towards him, blocked him and Lin Zhiyang abruptly, waved it at him once, and fell to the ground.
Lin Zhiyang took the opportunity to run to the grave, and immediately got into the coffin, leaving behind only a cursed sentence: "F*ck**! Don't let me find a chance, or you will die next time! Zhou Wan too Mine! You wait for me!"
This guy...was he talking nonsense when he said he likes Zhou Wan last time?
Can also speak English, it seems that she has lived in Ameiken for quite a long time.
Chen Ji watched him disappear into the coffin, and then glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, she was already going to catch the person who threw the gun with a cold face.
Chen Ji took out his mobile phone and sent Xia Shumin a text message:
"Shu Min, Lin Zhiyang has already traveled back, you and Zhou Wan discuss it, if you go to arrest people, remember to call those Jianghu people!"
"Huh? Okay, Shu Min knows."
The little lady responded quickly.
Arresting people across time and space is the first time for Chen Ji, and it is probably the only time in the four worlds for countless years.
"get out!"
Mu Xiaoxiao said coldly to a person hiding in a cave on the earth slope.
Venerable Samsara turned his gaze there.
Chen Ji hesitated for a while, and chose not to go to the coffin to investigate for the time being, but first to see who the person who helped Lin Zhiyang was.
Under the gaze of the three, a skeleton wrapped in black flower branches slowly walked out of the cave.
are ghosts.
And it is a ghost clan that has been polluted by black flowers for a long time, the ghost clan of the Nine Realms!
Chen Ji saw that his body was completely a skeleton, the bones all over his body were black, and the fingers, sternum, and spine were all wrapped with black flower branches, just like a **** skeleton.
Only two dots of ghostly will-o'-the-wisps flicker in his pupils, a little bit of spirituality, which is the only proof that he is still alive.
"It's the ghost general of the Nether Emperor."
Venerable Reincarnation recognized him, and said in a low voice: "Millions of years ago, Emperor Nether, who caused turmoil in the Six Realms, lost his destiny and was killed. His body was thrown here by the new emperor. Not long after, he crossed the long river. He didn't go out again."
Obviously, Venerable Samsara thought that this ghost general was dead, but he didn't expect him to live so hard until now!
In the eyes of the ghost general, the will-o'-the-wisps flickered a few times, and he responded with a dull voice: "I guard His Majesty's tomb."
At the same time, it was also for Chen Ji and the two of them.
Many questions answered.
Why does Lin Zhiyang know the destiny? It turned out to be from his mouth.
Why Lin Zhiyang can travel through the world, apart from the weakness of space, is probably also taught to him by this ghost general.
"Emperor Nether not resurrected?"
Mu Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, "You helped Lin Zhiyang because you wanted him to help you find the emperor's body?"
Knowing the identity of the ghost general, one can guess many things.
Since he is the gravekeeper, if the Nether Emperor is resurrected, he will definitely leave with him.
But now that the emperor's body has disappeared, the ghost general is still guarding here, and has helped Lin Zhiyang, which proves that he probably knows that the emperor's body is missing, not revived.
"It is true that the Nether Emperor has not been resurrected, and there is no news of him in the Nine Regions."
The person who spoke was the third emperor Lin Yuan. He arrived with the holy ancestor Yushu and several strong men. After seeing the corpses and black flowers all over the ground, they were all surprised.
Seeing the black flower branches on the ghost general's body, he frowned even more.
They could vaguely see that the ghost general can live for millions of years, which is closely related to the black flower branches on his body!
also proves one thing in disguise:
Millions of years ago, the Nine Domains had problems.
It is probably because of Emperor Nether.
Everyone surrounded the ghost general together.
With such a strong lineup, no one in the Nine Regions can escape, except for Chen Ji, who is not from the Nine Regions.
"Your Majesty should come back."
The ghost general was not afraid at all, and continued to narrate in a dull voice and a calm tone: "Your Majesty caused some controversy during his lifetime, but he has been dead for many years, and his body should return to the Nine Regions instead of falling outside."
This is a loyal gravekeeper.
Not only guarded the tomb of the Nether Emperor for millions of years, but also stood in front of many strong men for the emperor's corpse.
Chen Ji understood how to deal with him, and said, "I can promise to help you retrieve the corpse of Emperor Youming as much as possible. My strength is much stronger than Lin Zhiyang, and I can travel through the world at will."
Ghost General gave him a silent look.
Chen Ji continued: "The premise is that you tell me everything I want to know, otherwise I will catch Lin Zhiyang and cut off your hope of finding the emperor's body."
He pointed to the black flower branches on Ghost General's body: "Based on what I know about the shadow of chaos—these flowers, you are close to exhaustion and will be completely polluted. You should be unable to act anymore."
After a while, the ghost general opened his mouth slowly, his eyes flickering: "What do you want to know?"
"From the loss of the emperor's body to Lin Zhiyang, I want to know!"
The two are trading, and they don't need to know each other's identity, each takes what he needs.
And in the transaction, Chen Ji was the active party, Lin Zhiyang fled, and the ghost general had no choice but to trust him.
Chen Ji knew what he wanted to know.
Millions of years ago, the ghost general Nie Fang crossed the long river of time with a coffin and a tombstone. He silently buried the corpse of the Nether Emperor who was thrown to the other side here, and built a tomb for the emperor.
The new emperor has ascended the throne, Nie Fang will not go out anymore, and stay here alone.
When his 100,000-year lifespan was nearing the end, and when he was ready to die at the foot of the emperor's tomb, a corpse suddenly fell down and landed not far from the tomb.
Nie Fang didn't take it seriously at first, but when he was about to take the corpse away, black flowers emerged from the corpse and entangled him.
The suppression of the other shore is too strong, he can't drive away the flower, he can only let it grow, anyway, his lifespan is coming to an end, and he doesn't care what is killed.
but.
The black flowers made him live millions of years longer!
At the same time, he was also fixed here. He had a feeling that as long as he left the other shore, his body would collapse. The black flower could only survive in the other shore, and the Nine Realms did not allow him to leave.
Not long ago, the tombstone suddenly cracked, and then a large number of corpses fell down. Nie Fang went to dig up the tomb, only to find that the emperor's body had disappeared.
After that, Lin Zhiyang appeared, and Nie Fang taught him some things. He asked him to find the emperor's corpse, and said that he would benefit him when he found it.
"How did Lin Zhiyang leave?"
Chen Ji focused on this.
So far, only he can travel through the four worlds, but Lin Zhiyang can travel from the doomsday world to the intersection of the four worlds, and also to the Nine Realms, making Chen Ji wonder if he also has cheats.
"I planted this on him."
Nie Fang pulled out a black flower from his body, "With its power, and with the help of the Fragment of Destiny, you can go from the grave to the original world of these corpses. Your Majesty's corpse should have gone to that place too.
Lin Zhiyang refused to tell more. In fact, he didn't know. I don't care what world is opposite, I just want to find His Majesty's body. "
He is indeed a loyal general.
Chen Ji said with emotion in his heart.
In this way, Lin Zhiyang is actually a poor guy with black flowers on his body. If there is no such light and heat power, or the power of the creator, or the suppression of Xia Shumin, the daughter of heaven, no matter which world Lin Zhiyang runs, he will get No amount of strength can only lead to death step by step.
In the Nine Domains, the only thing that can hold down the black flowers is the destiny.
One Fragment of Destiny is probably not enough.
"Can black flowers travel through the world?"
Lin Yuan looked at the corpse on the ground with great interest.
"I advise you not to mess around."
Chen Ji waved his hand to the third emperor: "The Nine Regions have blocked them here on purpose, I don't think you have any way to fight against them, or in other words, once you get infected, you may not be able to leave the other side unless you can Command the Nine Domains!"
Ordering the Nine Domains, not ordering the Mandate of Heaven.
Destiny can be controlled, but the Nine Realms cannot be controlled, cannot communicate, and does not obey anyone's orders.
