Chapter 1044

Just like at the Ghost King of Changshan, Gu Zheng occupied this place.

The difference from there is that there is only one leader, the Ghost King of the Four Seas. Before he left, he made special arrangements to serve these people well and never neglect them, so he left in a hurry.

This is his base camp, his lair. After running it for so long, he won't run even if he is asked to run away, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen here, so he has such an explanation.

The Ghost King of the Four Seas has left. Except for the Ghost King's Mansion, everything in Yandu City remains as before. The ordinary ghosts in the city don't even know that a strong man has come to the city, and they don't know that their Ghost King has left Yandu City.

In the city, it is naturally different from Changshan Ghost King's place. Changshan Ghost King's place has a lot of people, but it is a hilltop and cannot be as lively as the city.

Gu Zheng was still very interested. He walked around Yandu City and even bought a lot of things.

Except that the sky is always dark and the food is a little different, this place is actually no different from a city in the mortal world. There are many ghosts here, which are the people who died in the mortal world.

Gu Zheng noticed that there were many elderly people in the city, and many of them were the ghosts of elderly people who died normally.

"I remember that many people died in the mortal world. Why are there so few young people?"

Gu Zheng asked casually, and Huang Xiaolei hurriedly stepped forward and replied with a flattering smile: "Sir, you are talking about the mortals who were killed in the Lich War. There are indeed many souls who came to the underworld. They were killed, so they all have Ghosts with resentment and resentment are not allowed to enter the city. Not only are they not allowed to enter the city, they are also not allowed to enter the residences of other ghosts! "

"Why?"

Gu Zheng stopped and asked in surprise.

"They are all souls who died in vain. The resentment of the souls who died in vain is not eliminated. They may turn into evil ghosts at any time. The evil ghosts will lose their intelligence and hurt other ghosts. Therefore, they are not allowed to enter the city. They can only enter after they cleanse their grievances outside. city!"

Huang Xiaolei explained quickly, while Gu Zheng frowned, but soon relaxed.

Wu You and the others also died in vain. They must have resentment on them, and it seemed that they could not enter the city. However, with this characteristic, they could narrow down the scope and make it easier to find them.

"How can the soul of a person who died in vain wash away his grievances?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"There are many ways to cleanse grievances, such as the Wangchuan River outside the city. The water of the river can purify the soul and wash away grievances. If the resentment is not deep, take the Wangchuan River water for three months continuously and bathe in the Wangchuan River water once every seven days. If you can wash it away, if you have deep grievances, the water of Wangchuan River will not work, so you have to take the grievance-washing fruit!"

"Washing out the fruit of grievance?" Gu Zheng asked again.

"This is a fruit that is a specialty of the underworld. There are a lot of it. It is more effective than the Wangchuan River. It can wash away grievances better. For ordinary people who die in vain, if they don't have deep resentments, they can take one fruit of the grievance-washing fruit every day. It takes 30 days to cleanse the grievances, and the grievance-cleansing fruit tastes pretty good, but the price is a little higher!”

"What if the resentment is very deep?"

Gu Zheng asked again, Wu You and the others were killed by Jinxian, and they were induced to leave the city. They were framed, so their resentment would probably not be small. In addition, they were immortal cultivators, so their resentment would definitely be bigger. Greater than ordinary mortals.

Wrong souls with too deep grievances will be captured and sent to the Tower of Hell, where the grievances will be purified. If the grievances are not too deep, they can be purified in the first few levels for a few years before they can be released. If they are really irresolvable, If you feel resentful, then send them to the 18th floor of the Tower of Hell. The innocent souls there will basically never come out again.

"Hell Tower?"

Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Huang Xiaolei. Huang Xiaolei hurriedly took the initiative to explain: "The Tower of Hell was created when the underworld was born. It does not belong to anyone and no one can control it. Only the souls of injustice can enter it. Ghosts without resentment can enter it." For those who cannot enter the Tower of Hell, the deeper the resentment, the deeper they enter. Once you enter the eighteenth floor, it is equivalent to the resentment that cannot be washed away. "

"Can't get out?"

"Yes, since the birth of the underworld, innocent souls have been sent to the tower of hell. In the first few floors, there were innocent souls who purged their grievances and came out. But there are only eighteen floors, and no one has ever come out. There was once a man from the tenth floor. Purification from the seventh floor to the first floor , the wronged souls who finally left the Tower of Hell said that the eighteenth level of hell is very scary, with countless miserable resentments every day. The wronged souls inside bite each other, but no one can eat the other. They live in pain every day, but No relief!”

When Huang Xiaolei said this, he looked around mysteriously and whispered: "I once heard an adult say that the Tower of Hell is a prison set up by Heaven in the underworld. On the 18th floor, all evildoers are imprisoned. Disciple, after entering, you will be immortal inside, but you will suffer pain every day and never come out. It’s terrible!”

After Huang Xiaolei finished speaking, he seemed to be afraid himself and patted his chest.

There's something really funny about a ghost acting scared.

"They are all rumors and cannot be trusted!"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly, but what he was thinking about at this time was some things about the underworld in later generations. The underworld in later generations was ruled by the quasi-sage Ksitigarbha. Ksitigarbha once said, 'If hell is not empty, you will never become a Buddha.' However, although Ksitigarbha is Bodhisattva, but his strength has reached the level of quasi-sage, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary Bodhisattvas with the strength of Daluo Jinxian.

Not to mention Bodhisattvas, even some real Buddhas are not as powerful as Ksitigarbha.

Such a strong man, who has been sitting in the underworld all year round, and said something really puzzling. Gu Zheng had never thought of it before, but now that Huang Xiaolei said it, this tower of hell is indeed a bit weird.

However, the purpose of this ancient battle to the underworld is not to explore the secrets of hell, but to find the souls of Wu You and the others. Just listen to what happened in the Tower of Hell.

After visiting the city for a day, Gu Zheng brought back a lot of grudge-washing fruits when he returned. There was a shop in the city that had the goods. After collecting them, they went outside the city to sell them.

Gu Zheng bought this thing out of pure curiosity. He wanted to see what magic this fruit has. It can wash away grievances. It is better than the water of the Wangchuan River. The Wangchuan River is the largest river in the underworld. The underworld is different from the prehistoric times. , there were four major continents in the ancient world, and the four major continents were separated from each other. The underworld was just a place with no separation.

Although the underworld is not as big as prehistoric times, it is larger than a single continent. The area is not small. The Wangchuan River runs through the entire underworld. You can imagine how long this river is.

"It's a nice little thing!"

Gu Zheng tasted the fruit himself, and his eyes immediately lit up. Although he was born and raised in the underworld, there was a pure sweetness in this fruit, which was completely different from the underworld filled with yin energy, and even incompatible with it.

No wonder this kind of fruit can wash away resentment. The purity in the fruit is as clear as the thoughts of the most innocent and innocent child. Resentment will soon be assimilated under this purity.

"It seems that we can research another food cultivator!"

Gu Zheng said to himself there that the food cultivation method that ghosts can take directly has not yet been successfully researched. Gu Zheng thought of the second type of food cultivation method, the food cultivation method for washing away grievances.

Use the Resentment Washing Fruit as the main ingredient, and add other auxiliary ingredients with the same power of purity, such as water from the Wangchuan River, etc., to cook the Resentment Washing Food Cultivation. If the cooking is successful, people who do not have heavy grievances can use a bowl of food to repair it. It can wash away the grievances. If the grievances are more serious, it will only take ten bowls at most.

If ten bowls cannot be washed, then they can only be sent to the Tower of Hell, and Guzheng has no choice.

The most important thing is that according to Gu Zheng's budget, one pot of this kind of food repair only requires ten fruit-washing fruits as the main ingredient. One pot of food repair can produce ten bowls. Calculated this way, it is equivalent to one fruit per bowl.

What originally could only be done by thirty pills, Gu Zheng can solve it with just one pill. This is the extraordinary thing about Food Cultivation.

As for this kind of saving, Gu Zheng didn't care much. What he cared about more was the effect, which increased the effect of the grudge-washing fruit. Those who had to be sent to the first few floors of the Tower of Hell, after having this kind of food cultivation, There is no need to go in. The Tower of Hell only accepts people with resentment. Even Daluo Jinxian cannot enter by himself unless he has resentment.

Also, Gu Zheng studied this food cultivation not to benefit the underworld.

He was preparing for Wu You and the others. There must be resentment among Wu You and the others. There were countless ancient disputes. If he prepared early, he could thoroughly wash away the resentment on them after finding them. In this way, no matter whether they Taking it back or staying here will be of great benefit to them.

This research lasted for five days. Five days later, Gu Zheng looked at the boiling pot of food cultivation with satisfaction. The food cultivation practice was theoretically completed.

As for whether it is a real success, he still needs to conduct an experiment. After all, no one with resentment has ever eaten the food repair he made, so the effect is not yet known.

"Have you found all the people I asked you to find?"

Gu Zheng walked out of the room and asked a ghost cultivator with immortal strength outside. The ghost cultivator nodded hurriedly and left quickly. Not long after, he came with ten different people, and these ten people were followed by more than twenty people. People, several of them are golden immortals.

These ten people are all ghosts, and what is different from normal ghosts is that their eyes are red.

The ten people's eyes had different degrees of redness, some were very light, and some were very deep, and they all glowed brightly. These were the resentful souls Gu Zheng had asked them to find outside the city in advance to test his food cultivation.

The reason why there are golden immortals following them is because they are afraid that some of these wronged souls will suddenly turn into evil ghosts.

Although the resentment does not reach a certain level, it is impossible to turn into a fierce ghost, but it is not absolute. Some wronged souls may turn into fierce ghosts if their resentment is not deep. After turning into a fierce ghost, not only lose all their intelligence, but also suddenly increase their strength. The power of the wronged souls may reach the realm of immortals.

That's it. The key point is that if you are scratched or bitten by a ghost, you may be infected and there is no cure. That's why ghosts with resentment are not allowed to enter the city or other ghost gathering places. You can only wait for their resentment to turn away. Entry is only allowed after that.

In this way, even if an innocent soul turns into a vicious ghost, it will still be outside and have limited impact on the city.

Ten ghosts stood there one after another. Except for one who had some power, the others were ordinary people. The stronger the ghost, the stronger the ghost. The ghost with the strength of an immortal can reach the level of a golden immortal when turned into a ghost. Even in the late Golden Immortal stage, no one dares to ignore this.

Gu Zheng poured out a bowl of food and gave it to the wronged soul with the reddest eyes first.

The innocent soul was very confused, but he sniffed and couldn't help but swallow, even though he had no saliva to swallow.

"Drink it!"

Huang Xiaolei brought the food cultivator over. The evil spirit hesitated for a moment, but he quickly drank all the food cultivators in the bowl and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. The food cultivators Gu Zheng made were all so that these ghosts could drink them. something.

Gu Zheng stared at this innocent soul, who looked around blankly, and his red eyes gradually weakened, and finally stopped when they weakened to half.

"How did you die?"

This person has a lot of resentment. Gu Zheng asked casually, and the faces of other ghost cultivators around him changed suddenly. For the wronged souls, the most unacceptable question is how they died, because it will cause them to recall their death and their resentment will increase.

The wronged soul lowered his head, seemed a little sad and angry, and raised his head after a while and said: "I was originally a wealthy family with some money at home, but my brother deliberately seduced my first wife to fight for the family wealth, and the two of them joined forces to murder me!"

It turned out that this man was killed by his wife and brother. No wonder he had such a deep resentment. These two people can be said to be his closest people, but they joined forces to kill him.

After he finished speaking, his eyes were still the same as before, without deepening, and there was no sign of turning into a fierce ghost, which surprised some people around him.

"Next one!"

Gu Zheng asked Huang Xiaolei to send all the food repairs to them. Ten wronged souls drank the food repairs quickly. Except for the first one, there was still one resentment that was not completely eliminated, but it was already very light. Gu Zheng estimated that according to the first one, three bowls of food repairs could completely eliminate its resentment, and two bowls would be enough for the other one.

After taking the food repairs, you can take it again after three days. Even the first one can be completely eliminated in less than ten days.

Gu Zheng specifically asked that for someone like him, it would take a long time to eliminate the resentment if he ate the resentment-washing fruit every day. There must be no other accidents in the meantime, such as finding that another close person was killed, or finding that he had more than just this little grievance.

No one can tell the specific time, but one month is definitely not enough, it may be three months, or even a year. If it is more serious, he will be sent to the Tower of Hell.

This shows that Gu Zheng's resentment-washing food repair was completely successful and the effect was particularly good. It can indeed wash away the resentment of these wronged souls.

Except for these two, the other eight wronged souls had all their resentment washed away. They were also very happy because they were no longer restricted and could enter the city and go anywhere they wanted.

This unexpected gain made them very happy.

They were all ordinary wronged souls, the souls who died in the war. They had no power or wealth. They could only use the water of the Wangchuan River to wash away their resentment. They couldn't even afford to eat the fruit of washing resentment. Now that their resentment was gone all of a sudden, they could live normally in the underworld. How could they not be happy?

The ten wronged souls were grateful to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng didn't care about it. He succeeded in washing resentment food. When he found Wu You and the others, he would be more confident in helping them wash away their resentment.

Ten days later, the Four Seas Ghost King came back, but Wang Shuo didn't come.

However, the Four Seas Ghost King brought a message. Wang Shuo asked them to go over and talk to him. Gu Zheng didn't show the Book of Life and Death before, and failed to attract Wang Shuo like he attracted Wang San.

"Then let's go to him!"

Looking at the Ghost King of the Four Seas, Gu Zheng said lightly. The Ghost King of the Four Seas had a bitter face. He had just run once, and now it seemed that he had to run again. He wanted to take them with him.

However, what happened next surprised the Ghost King of the Four Seas. Gu Zheng did not let him lead the way. He just asked about the route, and then they set off by themselves.

The Ghost King of the Four Seas was just a golden immortal, and his speed was very slow. It would not take up enough time to take him with him. Gu Zheng only wanted to know where Wang Shuo was. It was enough to know the place. There was no need to take him with him.

The Ghost King of the Four Seas ran back and forth for more than half a month. Gu Zheng and the other three only took three days to reach the place he said, a relatively quiet place on the bank of the Wangchuan River with a good environment.

Wang Shuo was here, and there was a man in black beside Wang Shuo, wrapped in black clothes, who looked a bit like the Tao at the beginning, causing Tao to look at him constantly.

"Fellow Daoist Wang San, two fellow Daoists from the prehistoric times, welcome!"

Wang Shuo stood there, his slender body looked very good. If he were placed on the earth in the future, he would definitely be a handsome man that would attract countless women to scream.

The Four Seas Ghost King had already explained the situation, and he also knew that the three were coming, so he was not surprised at all.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Shuo, I have heard a lot about you!"

Although he had not recovered yet, Wang San was not timid in front of Wang Shuo, and greeted him with a fist. After all, he was also a Daluo Jinxian.

"I heard that the three of you wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?"

Wang Shuo seemed very polite, and he was not arrogant just because he was a Daluo Jinxian in the middle stage of cultivation. He also invited Gu Zheng and the other two to come in and sit down to talk in detail.

"I want to borrow the power under Fellow Daoist Wang Shuo!"

Wang Shuo got straight to the point, and Gu Zheng did not hide it either, and directly explained it. Wang Shuo's expression did not change, but Hu Feng beside him suddenly raised his head.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, why do you want to borrow it?"

This Wang Shuo is very scheming. If it were someone else, he would have turned hostile long ago when he heard that he wanted to borrow his power. To put it nicely, it's a loan, but to put it bluntly, it's an order. Who can tolerate others ordering themselves?

"Looking for someone!" Gu Zheng's answer was also very simple.

"Looking for someone?"

Wang Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head: "Fellow Taoist, someone was killed in the prehistoric world, and the dead soul has entered the underworld?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Wang Shuo is very smart. Gu Zheng and Tao are not ghosts, but bodies. They came here from the prehistoric world to find people. They are definitely not looking for living people, but dead souls.

The dead soul will not enter the underworld if they are not dead. In this way, the dead are quite important to Gu Zheng and others, otherwise they would not come here from the prehistoric world.

This surprised Wang Shuo.

He has lived long enough, so he knows more. It is not so easy to go from the prehistoric world to the underworld. Even if you are a Daluo Jinxian, you cannot enter the underworld at will. You need to know the passage between the two worlds and break the void to enter the underworld.

It is not so simple to just have a passage.
