Chapter 144: I was trapped, I can't hide!
The city of the dead, as the name suggests, is the place where the ghosts of the dead live in the underworld. Legend has it that it was a city created in hell by King Jizo Bodhisattva for the ghosts of unjustified disasters that had died, and its nature resembled a prison for criminals in the sun.
For example, if a person whose life is destined to end at the age of 90, but accidentally dies early at the age of 40, he will be imprisoned in the city of the dead until he is 90 years old.
During this period, the souls of the dead imprisoned in the city will be able to live like the people of the Yang world, and will be able to go to the city to see if the people who murdered him will receive due retribution, but their personal freedom will be strictly controlled, and they will not be able to receive the dead paper and paper offerings burned by their relatives and friends in the Yang world, nor can they return to the Yang world to receive offerings from their relatives in the Yang world like other dead souls during the Midyear Festival, and all the money and goods burned to these dead souls will be temporarily stored in the place of the Venerable Muren, who assists the Jizo King Bodhisattva. It is not until these dead souls see that their murderers have received their due retribution, and their resentment is comforted, and they offer to be released from the prisons of the temples, which means that these dead souls can not be handed over until the end of their imprisonment in the city of vain death, and then they will be reincarnated according to their good and evil during their lifetime, or according to rewards or punishments.
However, these are also records in ancient books, and in fact, the city of vain death has long been out of the control of the Xudu Prefecture.
The ghosts who live in the city of vain death are much more powerful than those ghosts who are dying, because they are dying in vain, so the resentment is heavier, the yin qi is more sufficient, and their degree of power is naturally very different, which is why the ghosts are more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
A very resentful ghost can release an extremely powerful yin qi, and there are countless powerful ghosts imprisoned in the dead city, and the yin qi is extraordinary. So under the breeding of these powerful yin qi, the king of ten thousand ghosts was born.
His appearance completely changed the original pattern of the underworld, and he led all the oppressed and abused ghosts in the city to fight against the Xudu Prefecture, and defeated the generals along the way, and killed them outside the city in one fell swoop. But it's a pity that the king of Hades is the king of Hades after all, and he invited many human immortals, earth immortals, and even heavenly immortals to help, after a tragic battle. The King of Ten Thousand Demons was outnumbered and died on the battlefield in the end, but his death brought freedom to the ghosts of the city of vain.
Since then, the city has completely escaped from the jurisdiction of the Xudu Prefecture and has become an independent city in the underworld.
In order to prevent the city from continuing to grow, the underworld did its best to bring the ghosts of the dead in the world to the capital.
In order to have enough strength to compete with the underworld, they also sent the ghost avatar who was good at talking in the city to guide the way, and introduced the ghosts wandering in the underworld into the city of the dead.
And among the many guides, the most famous and vicious is the black old lady!
This ghost can be described as ruthless, she stops at the three-way road leading to the underworld and the city of the dead, as long as she sees the ghost who is not led by the ghost here, she will persuade it to go to the city of the dead, or deliberately point in the wrong direction. If there is a dead soul who does not listen to her advice and has to go to the underworld, there is only one consequence, that is, she will be eaten alive.
The reason why Tong Yan knows these is actually thanks to the ghost fairy Wuchenzi. Don't look at him, he never enters the underworld easily, but he knows a lot about the things in the underworld. Just yesterday, when he was chatting, Wuchenzi specially told him that if he encountered the ghost of an old woman, he must not believe her words, let alone be led by her nose. Only in this way can he go to the Xudu Prefecture smoothly. But it's a pity that he didn't tell Tong Yan which is the way to the underworld, otherwise, Tong Yan wouldn't have stayed here, let alone been targeted by this black old lady.
Mrs. Hei looked Tong Yan up and down, and then covered her mouth and smiled: "Yoyo, you found out so quickly." Then take a trip to the city with your mother-in-law, right? ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly transformed into a terrible ghost with two heads and four arms. The four eyes glowed with a faint green light, the four hands turned into sharp ghost claws, and the lips wrapped in the mouth were all pouted at this moment, and they were covered with black spikes.
The appearance of the black old lady is really flattering, but at this moment, Tong Yan is just a wisp of soul, what strength does she have to compete with it?
Thirty-six plans to go up, Tong Yan almost did not hesitate, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he galloped towards the road on the right.
Mrs. Hei watched Tong Yan ride away on a ghost horse, but instead of chasing, she was amazed: "It's really a jade tree in the wind, handsome and chic." We'll see you again soon, young man! Hey hey ......"
Before the laughter stopped, she suddenly waved her sleeves, and then, something unbelievable happened. Originally, there were only two roads ahead, but what I didn't expect was that a third road appeared at this moment! Could this third way be the real road to the underworld? Isn't that boy a ......
Tong Yan doesn't know if the road he is taking is right now, but seeing that the old lady black is deliberately trying to let herself take the left one, it seems that the road on the right should be more likely to lead to the underworld.
But after more than three hours of galloping, he finally reacted.
In front of him appeared a very dilapidated city, the walls of which were full of cracks, and the plaques on the gates were tilted as if they were about to fall.
And on this plaque, the three big characters are still eye-catching, in vain to kill the city!
Unexpectedly, he finally came to the city of vain death, and it seems that no matter which way he goes, the final destination is this city of vain death. The black old lady set herself up, but she didn't realize it.
Thinking of this, Tong Yan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. But the matter has come to this point, even if it is annoyed, it will not help.
The top priority is to get out of here quickly and make plans.
Tong Yan turned the horse's head directly and was about to leave. But at this moment, several evil spirits flashed out of the darkness on both sides of the road.
These demons had fierce expressions and strong bodies, holding maces in one hand and horse ropes in the other.
Tong Yan saw that the secret path was not good, so he had to ride a horse to break through to the side. But unfortunately, the ghost horse had just run a few steps before he was caught on the rope of the demons.
Several demons worked together and directly dragged him off the horse.
Before Tong Yan came back to his senses, people had been dragged into the city of vain death by these evil ghosts......
What will Tong Yan encounter next? Will he still be able to rescue the ghosts of the Green Dead?
