Hearing Hui Gen'er's question, Zhu Zhuo's expression was very calm, and he didn't hide anything, and said to us directly: "Master Hongren, you have been here for a long time, so you naturally know about his existence. ”

"Master Hongnin? You can also have monks here? What is he doing here? Hearing the news of Buddhism, Hui Gen'er was naturally more concerned and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"Why Master Hongren is here, I don't know the specific situation, anyway, the city lord here allows him to exist. As for what else the monk can do here? Naturally, he wants to save us from the sea of suffering and accept his transcendence! Zhu Zhuo said seriously.

But this situation is so weird that we are all stunned, and even if we want to ask, we don't know how to ask.

Instead, Zhu Zhuo said to himself: "I don't know too much about Master Hongren, I only know that every five days, he will appear in Xicheng, because there are more sober guys there." He would recite sutras and preach some Dharma. I didn't go before, but then I went once in a while, and I found that I was much more sober, so I went often. ”

"Sobered up a lot?" This sentence made me full of questions, and I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and ask more.

And Jueyuan, who had never spoken, finally muttered at this time: "Then did he succeed?" ”

"Here, how is it possible to get excess? This is hell! Zhu Zhuo's tone became excited, and then he ignored Jueyuan and said to me: "You know too little about this new city, let me tell you slowly." ”

Under Zhu Zhuo's telling, this ghost city full of puzzles finally slowly unfolded everything about it in front of us, of course, only everything about the outer city, and there is also an existence called the inner city, not to mention it for the time being.

According to Zhu Zhuo, the ghosts here are roughly divided into three kinds, the most are the unresolved ghosts with grievances in their hearts, followed by the ghosts whose grievances have been transformed into boundless hatred, and the last one is the lonely souls and wild ghosts who have missed the reincarnation and have fallen here.

Zhu Zhuo is a lonely ghost who has fallen here.

"Lonely souls and wild ghosts are the best kind of life, and they are also the worst kind of life. It means that we are sober, and we will not be like the ghosts on the street who are rushed by hatred and have no reason, and only know how to repeatedly fight, devour, and commit suicide. It's sad because the ability of lonely ghosts and wild ghosts can be compared to resentful ghosts? It was swallowed up by accident. Regarding the lonely soul and wild ghost, Zhu Zhuo also added like this.

And in this world, except for jumping out of the Six Realms, there is nothing that can exist forever, and naturally it also includes the soul.

What is the essence of ghosts, nature is the soul, it is a common sense that Taoists will know, in the outside world, if there is no long-term nourishment of yin qi, the soul will naturally dissipate after a long time.

But here, the world that is full of yin energy and does not have a lot of yang energy collides is naturally a paradise for ghosts, so the time that ghosts here can exist is theoretically a long, long time.

However, do you think that this will be all right? Is it really a ghost paradise? Naturally not.

It's because of the purity of the yin qi!

In this world, there are too few pure yin veins, and there are too many need for its existence, so it is naturally controlled by powerful existences, and the lake of ten thousand ghosts is just because it is a natural yin gathering array, and a place with sufficient yin qi has been formed, and compared with the pure yin veins, the difference is too far.

The yin qi here is originally mixed, not to mention that even if it is a pure yin vein, if it is 'used' by an existence like a ghost for a long time, it will become yin qi mixed!

The so-called yin qi is full of negative energy, and a large part of the specific analysis of negative energy is negative emotions.

What are the consequences of such yin qi to ghosts?

"The consequences are already on the street, and if you stay in this environment for a long time, the ghost will become a ghost, and the ghost will become a madman. Even our lonely ghosts have a tendency to become resentful ghosts. Zhu Zhuo sighed and said.

Yes, that's where the real problem lies! No wonder Zhu Zhuo was so excited just now, it turned out that he was afraid that he would become completely unconscious, maybe before his death, in the days when he missed reincarnation, he stubbornly stayed at home, and it was gratifying to see that his parents' grief had gradually subsided, and he transferred his feelings to his two younger brothers, but after staying here for a long time, the statement became, how can parents forget their grievances, this is the yin qi here at work.

This effect is not necessarily slow, for the existence of strong resentment in the heart, this effect is very fast. But for lonely souls and wild ghosts, especially those with a relatively peaceful mentality, the effect is relatively small.

Zhu Zhuo said in his rambling story that it had stayed in the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts for more than two hundred years, which showed that its mentality was relatively peaceful, after all, it was a child when it died, and its mind was much purer.

"You've been here for more than two hundred years? But this new city has not been around for so long, you used to be in the old city? Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Zhuo, although we are in the new city, and all the clues also point to the new city, it does not mean that we are not a little curious about the old city.

The most important thing is, if you have to do something about the new city, what is the attitude of the old city? Friend or foe!

Regarding this question, Zhu Zhuo sighed, and then said: "Don't mention the problem of the old city first, you newcomers, listen to me slowly finish everything here before asking." ”

Since Zhu Zhuo said this, we naturally didn't want to ask again, so we could only continue to listen to Zhu Zhuo.

Life in the Lake of Ghosts is undoubtedly hopeless, and staying in the city is like knowing that one's end will become stupid, demented, become unrememberable, and will be driven mad by hatred

But what about going out of the city? It's even more unrealistic, because there are some high-ranking beings here, how can you get out of the city easily? Before many ghosts completely lose their minds, they will frantically want to get out of the city, want revenge, revenge, and then it doesn't matter if their souls are scattered.

"But they end up disappearing! There is a more accurate statement, that is, it was swallowed up by unity, entered the city, and no ghost can leave the city freely. Zhu Zhuo sighed and said.

"But" Xiao Chengqian couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Zhuo's words, just because we came along the way, don't say that ghosts can't go out, it's just overwhelming outside the ghosts, the lake village, the bottom of the lake, even outside the city inside the natural array

"I know what you're going to say, it's a secret." Zhu Zhuo suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, and then said to us: "The guy who went out can be said to be a guy whose soul is already incomplete, and he can't even compare to the crazy ghosts on this street!" This saying has been circulating in our new city for a long time. ”

"More specifically?" I suddenly remembered those ghosts, and I had always suspected that except for the ghost rakshasa who was more self-aware, other ghosts could disappear from the most essential part of the soul.

What is this essence? It's the mind, the ability to think! Human beings lose their souls, they are walking dead, and the soul loses this part of the essence, you can understand it as the walking dead of the soul, which is a little scary to think about.

Faced with my question, Zhu Zhuo shook his head and said, "I'm just a little lonely ghost, how can I know too much about the secrets of this city?" If you really want to know, find a way to get into the inner city, right? ”

"Into the Inner City?" Brother Chengxin touched his chin, under his glasses, his eyes narrowed slightly, what the hell is going on with this guy? Only then did I realize that even Brother Chengxin, who is in the soul state, has a pair of glasses, could it be that his glasses are still magic weapons?

Thinking of this, I felt a little funny, and I couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of my mouth, of course I knew that these glasses were not magic weapons, he just wanted people to see such an image of him, but it was really incompatible with a Taoist dress.

Brother Chengxin said to himself casually, I smiled casually, but I didn't want Zhu Zhuo's eyes to become another meaning, it looked at us and said seriously: "Looking at your appearance, I know that you must have heard about some things in the inner city, but this is also a sign of confidence, otherwise why would you laugh?" ”

It said that it was naturally me, but I really didn't know anything about the inner city, so I was a little at a loss in the face of Zhu Zhuo's statement.

But this enthusiastic fellow didn't leave me dazed for long, and before I could speak, it said, "I'm sure you've heard a little bit about the inner city, but not completely, so let me explain it to you." ”

Speaking of which, the days of the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts are hopeless, because the ending is like a written and placed in front of every ghost, but it is not completely hopeless in the new city, and there are two options here that can make this ending change slightly.

The first choice came from the mysterious Master Hongnin, who inexplicably appeared more than thirty years ago, where he insisted on transcending and explaining the Dharma, although he failed to succeed in transcending a ghost, but it also effectively resolved the resentment of many ghosts, delaying their loss of mind.

Zhu Zhuo is an example of this!

"If you can be succeeded by Master Hongnin, it is the best way to get rid of this ending! But now it seems that this approach, or rather this choice, is unrealistic. Zhu Zhuo commented.

When it said this, Jueyuan couldn't help but turn the rosary in his hand a few times, and his face became a little heavier, but then his eyes became firm again, and his expression returned to indifference.

I naturally knew what Jueyuan was thinking, and I didn't say anything, but gave him an encouraging look, and then looked at Zhu Zhuo and asked, "Then the second one is to enter the inner city?" ”

"Yes, it's the inner city! In the inner city, there is the purest yin nourishment, the closest to all the life in the yang world, and you can even freely enter and exit the ghost city at a certain time, this choice is the best choice, and it is also the most desirable choice for the ghosts here. When talking about the inner city, Zhu Zhuo's eyes had a strong longing, he licked his lips and continued: "But where is the inner city so easy to enter, I also want to get to know you and have a chance." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Could it be that Zhu Zhuo saw our identity and knew that we were outsiders, and if he knew about the existence of the inner city, he would enter even if he broke in? When it said this, Xiao Chengqian's eyes looked at it with some vigilance.

"In fact, it is very simple to enter the inner city, only a capable ghost can enter the inner city! Of course, this kind of ability, you have to maintain complete sanity, and these crazy people on the street can forget it. Zhu Zhuo explained simply.

In fact, it is enough to explain this sentence, the capable ghosts are generally powerful ghosts, the greater the resentment, the deeper the hatred, the stronger the ability to bring, you don't underestimate the role of emotions in stimulating soul power, even in the human world, emotions can also make people extraordinarily potential, not to mention the soul state that is less bound by the yang body.

But the contradiction in it appears, the deeper this resentment is, the more likely it is to be affected by the yin qi here, and go to the point of madness, but there are no absolutes in the world, there is one exception!

That is, the soul power of that existence itself is strong enough, strong enough to suppress his resentment and keep himself from going crazy, this kind of innate situation, even if he is incarnated as a powerful ghost in the ordinary world, it is also a role that gives Taoist priests a headache.

Don't think that the soul power is equal, under the same conditions, some babies are congenitally deficient, and some babies are strong, and the soul power is also the truth.

If so, then getting into the inner city is a difficult task.

"I'm on the roof, and when I see you, you're awake. At first, I thought you were just a lonely ghost like me, but when I saw you make a move, I knew that you were very powerful, and when I saw you, I also had the hope of entering the inner city. Speaking of this, Zhu Zhuo scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "If you are willing to take me." ”

It turns out that it is so enthusiastic about us, besides loneliness, is there such a reason? It seems that the guy who has existed for hundreds of years, even a baby can't be underestimated

"Speaking of which, there was once a female ghost who did the same." Zhu Zhuo was a little embarrassed, and said another sentence without words.

Female ghosts? Could it be Yu Cuizi? I think we've probably gotten in the right direction.
