Chapter 9: The Yin and Yang World
As night fell, the entire new domain immediately became eerie and terrifying.
The thick yin energy kept emerging from the black mountains all over the ground like wolf smoke, and the ghosts from the underworld gushed out from the broken Yellow Spring Road, crying, laughing, shouting, jumping, floating, running, and running everywhere.
This is clearly still the world of the living, but the yin energy makes people feel cold all over, and the ghost cries that are floating everywhere are even more creepy.
In the villages and towns of Jimo and Gaomi counties that were trapped in the new territory, everyone stayed indoors and dared not breathe. The common people were trembling with fear.
In the woods beside the Jiao River, Chen Jiu smelled an increasingly strong stench and couldn't help but frowned, "Is this Yin Qi? Why is it so bad? Isn't the underworld full of rotten stench?"
This question was obviously not directed at the wolf demon. The wolf demon's nose was more sensitive and the smell was more uncomfortable. He was almost vomiting from the smell.
Honghuang Shending said leisurely: "The bad smell of Yin Qi is only for the people and animals in the Yang world. For the ghosts and monsters in the underworld, Yin Qi is the nutrient for survival and even the spiritual energy for cultivation.
The Yin Qi in the underworld is actually not as dense as here. The reason why the Yin Qi here is dense is because the ghost fairy Lu Boyan absorbed too much Yin Qi. It can be said that the black mountains all over the ground are transformed by Yin Qi. Do you think there is a lot of Yin Qi here?"
Well, it’s useless for a living person to absorb Yin Qi . Even if there is a lot of it, it is meaningless to him.
What he wants to suck is ghosts.
Chen Jiu looked around at the pitch-black woods, pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then couldn't help asking: "It seems that there are many ghosts and monsters shouting around, why haven't any of them entered the woods?"
Honghuang Shending thought for a while, then suddenly said: "This, I forgot to tell you, if the ghosts come to absorb the Yin Qi, they will definitely go to the black mountain transformed by the Yin Qi. If the ghosts come to possess mortals, they will definitely go to the surrounding villages and towns.
You are hiding in these woods , and those ghosts can't see you, so why do you want to come in?"
Why didn’t you say it earlier!
The reason they stayed in the woods was not actually to wait for the ghosts from the underworld to fall into their trap, but mainly because there was water here and it was convenient for fishing. Plus, they were all seriously injured and needed recuperation, so they stayed here for half a day.
Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Brother Wang, how are you, maybe you are on your way?"
The wolf demon king said without hesitation: "I'm fine, but the smell is too bad. It makes me almost vomit."
It's good that it's nothing serious. As for the smell, there's nothing you can do about it. You'll get used to it by smelling it more often.
Chen Jiu took off his sheepskin coat and asked, "Can you swim? How about I carry you across the river?"
The wolf demon shook his head without hesitation and said, "No, no, I still know how to doggy paddle."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu stopped talking and rushed to the river in a few steps. He jumped in and then swam quickly to the other side holding his clothes in one hand.
Before long, they reached the other side and headed quickly westward.
He was planning to wait for his prey to take the bait while traveling, because he was not a god from the underworld and did not know how to catch ghosts.
Moreover, the dark energy in the sky almost blocked out the moonlight, so he couldn't see anything in the distance. He didn't know where the ghost was and had no way to catch it.
Therefore, the best way is to wait for the ghosts to fall into the trap.
Sure enough, before they ran far, a ghost figure suddenly appeared from the side and stopped them in front of them, shouting: "Stop!"
Damn, what an ugly ghost!
Chen Jiu stopped and took a closer look, and got goose bumps all over his body.
This ghost's hair was like weeds, his eyeballs were bright red, and his face was frighteningly white, as if it had been soaked in water for several days. He also had a mouth full of fangs and nostrils without a bridge, which was really creepy to look at.
"What the hell is this?"
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask the Honghuang Divine Cauldron a question using his spiritual sense.
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "This is a fierce ghost, with extremely strong resentment and an even stronger desire for revenge. He should want to take over your body to take revenge."
You want to take over someone else's body, right?
Then I’m welcome!
Chen Jiu pretended to tremble and said, "You, what do you want to do?"
The evil ghost raised his eagle-like claws and threatened with a vicious look: "What do I want to do? I just want to borrow your skin for a while!
You'd better let me get into your mind and don't resist, otherwise I will torture you until you are in excruciating pain before I get into your mind again!"
It seems that it is not easy for ghosts to take over the bodies of mortals.
This evil ghost doesn't seem to be very smart.
Come on then!
Chen Jiu pretended to be horrified and stepped back, "You, don't come over here."
The evil ghost immediately rushed over, clamped his arms with both hands and said sternly: "I told you to be quiet, but you didn't hear me. You want a beating, don't you? Look into my eyes, look into my eyes!"
I look at you like a ghost.
Chen Jiu pretended to shiver, shook his head slowly, and quietly aimed at the evil ghost's mouth and nose.
Then, without any hesitation, he used the semen-sucking technique and sucked it in violently.
With a "swoosh", the evil ghost in front of him was sucked in like noodles.
This feeling is so great!
Chen Jiu felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, and every part of his body felt comfortable. His spiritual awareness was like a balloon being blown up, and it almost doubled in an instant.
its not right!
He was only intoxicated for a while before he could not help but exclaimed in surprise: "How can the spirit of this evil spirit be so strong? I feel that the power of his thoughts is almost catching up with my consciousness!"
Honghuang Shending murmured, "Do you think the ghosts that can escape from the underworld are weak? If they are weak, how can they escape the pursuit of the underworld?
Let me tell you, most of those who can escape from the underworld are ghost generals, some are ghost kings."
Ghost general level?
Wouldn't that mean that his power is about the same as the Black and White Impermanence of Jimo's underworld!
Chen Jiu was a little puzzled and asked, "Is this evil ghost a ghost general? His strength doesn't seem to be that good, didn't I swallow him in one gulp?"
Honghuang Shending said calmly: "The evil spirits are indeed not that good, because their heads are full of resentment and they only think about revenge, so they can't learn any skills at all.
Those ghosts that are attached to the Black Mountain and absorb Yin Qi are different. They all know how to practice. They absorb Yin Qi crazily just for the purpose of practicing. "
Oh my God, why didn't you say so earlier!
Chen Jiu was shocked when he heard this.
Originally, he was thinking of going up to Black Mountain when passing by, hoping that he could get lucky and catch some ghosts and suck them up.
Fortunately, he didn't go, otherwise, he would most likely be the one to die!
This Honghuang Divine Cauldron does know a lot, but it is just like a book on the table. It won’t say anything unless you turn the page.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully and asked again: "Do you mean that there are many ghosts in the underworld that the underworld cannot control? Don't people reincarnate after death? Where do so many ghosts come from in the underworld?"
Honghuang Shending murmured, "Do you think that only people turn into ghosts after they die?
Among the six realms of reincarnation, the human realm is just one of them. The number of ghosts in the animal realm is countless times greater than that in the human realm.
Some people are demoted to animals, some animals are reincarnated as humans. There are countless ghosts in the underworld waiting to be reincarnated. How can the underworld take care of them all?
Also, not all of the underworld is under the jurisdiction of the Northern Underworld. The Guifang, Guirong, Night Ghosts, Yaksha, Rakshasas, and other areas are not under the jurisdiction of the Northern Underworld. There are many ghosts and monsters in those places."
I see.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, thought about it carefully, and then called on the wolf demon to continue running westward.
It was too dangerous here. It was just getting dark and there were already ghosts everywhere. He had better leave this haunted place quickly and go to the immortal cave to break through to the realm of the demon king first. Otherwise, if he met a ghost king, he would be doomed.
He wanted to escape quickly, but the new area was too big and there were too many ghosts and monsters.
As a result, they had only run a few miles when a huge monster suddenly appeared in front of them.
This guy was probably more than two meters tall, with a green face, fangs, a wide mouth and big eyes, a body full of flesh, and a huge bone stick in his hand. It was obvious that he was not a good guy.
"Oh, there's a dog? I haven't eaten dog meat for a long time!"
The giant yelled excitedly, raised his hand and hit it with a stick.
You are the dog, your whole family are dogs!
The wolf demon was startled and quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the blow on the head.
With a loud "bang", gravel flew everywhere, and a pit nearly half a meter deep was smashed out on the ground full of black stones!
"What kind of monster is this?"
Chen Jiu dodged to the side and used his spiritual sense to ask the Honghuang Divine Cauldron urgently.
Honghuang Shending said without hesitation: "This is a ferocious ghost, also called an evil ghost. It specializes in eating all kinds of flesh and blood, regardless of whether it is human or animal. It will eat whatever it catches. The more it eats, the bigger its body becomes and the stronger it becomes."
Well, there's nothing to be afraid of just because of one's great strength.
This guy probably isn't as strong as him.
Chen Jiu looked at the pit on the ground, then looked at the evil ghost's broad palm, and then pretended to be terrified and said: "Don't eat me, don't eat me!"
After saying that, he stumbled back.
"Want to run?"
The evil ghost roared, raised the bone stick and started hitting.
"ah!"
Chen Jiu pretended to scream and pounced directly to the left side of the evil ghost.
"Ha ha ha ha."
The evil ghost laughed, stretched out his left hand, grabbed Chen Jiu and stuffed him into his mouth.
Damn, this guy has such a stinky mouth!
Chen Jiu suppressed his nausea, waited for the right moment, and used the semen-sucking technique to suck it in hard.
With a "pop", the huge bone stick fell to the ground along with the evil ghost's skin, and Chen Jiu's face was full of surprise.
It turned out that this evil ghost still had energy, and it was plenty of it. It almost replenished all the energy and blood that had been sucked away by the Primordial Divine Cauldron, and his spiritual awareness also increased by about 50%.
"Lao Ding, you should take a sip too. Take your time. Just take half of the last time. Don't worry. I'll find some more evil spirits for you to take slowly."
This time he was no longer in a hurry to escape. As long as the Honghuang Divine Cauldron could recover some strength, the Ghost King would be nothing!
As long as he can keep absorbing, breaking through the realm of demon king will not be a problem.
Improving my strength this way is so fucking exciting!
In fact, what he said was not exciting. What the City God Xu Gongfu said was exciting.
Originally, the City God Xu Gongfu thought that sending Black and White Impermanence to capture Chen Jiu's soul would be a piece of cake. After all, Black and White Impermanence were much stronger than the Lingshan Village God.
Who would have thought that after waiting for a whole night, not only did he not wait for the Black and White Impermanence to come back, the formation plate in his hand also inexplicably cracked.
This time, he was completely confused.
what happened?
After finally making it to night, when the Yellow Springs Road reappeared, he could not wait to lead his ghost generals along the broken Yellow Springs Road to the huge pit.
This really stimulated him to the point of being exhausted.
It turned out that there was more than one broken road to the underworld. The huge pit was covered with yellow fragments. The ghosts and monsters from the underworld were pouring out like a tide, and the huge pit was almost filled up.
Xu Gongfu was stunned when he saw the ghosts swarming around him.
The ghosts and monsters around were also stunned when they saw his huge golden body.
This is the City God of the underworld!
The huge pit that was originally extremely noisy suddenly became quiet and everyone was stunned.
"These guys are the dog officials of the underworld. Come on, everyone. If you have grievances, you should face them. If you have grudges, you should seek revenge. If you don't have any grudges, please lend a hand and beat these dog officials to death!"
I don’t know which wronged ghost screamed, but the ghosts around were suddenly outraged.
These gods in the underworld often bully them.
If they were in the underworld, these ghosts would avoid the gods of the underworld as much as possible.
However, things are different at the junction of yin and yang.
This is not the territory of the underworld, so they don't have to worry about a large number of underworld soldiers suddenly appearing.
Moreover, they were densely packed, numbering in the tens of thousands, while the City God Xu Gongfu only brought a few ghost generals with him.
There is strength in numbers, and there are many ghosts to fight with!
beat him!
I don't know which vengeful ghost threw a stone first, but all the ghosts immediately rushed over, surrounded the City God Xu Gongfu and several ghost generals and beat them up.
Fortunately, the gods in the underworld still have some unique skills, and each city god has a few magical weapons specifically for dealing with ghosts.
The City God Xu Gongfu protected several ghost generals and fought and retreated. They barely cut a ghost path and fled to the west.
The situation on the side of County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun is no better than that of City God Xu Gongfu.
Originally, Wang Xiangchun received news from the spiritual official Xu Ning and summoned all his spiritual officials to rush to Yifengdian to prepare to capture Chen Jiu.
As a result, the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart overnight. When they woke up early in the morning, the surroundings had turned into a new area filled with gloomy energy. Except for the historian Gongsun Xia who happened to arrive near the giant pit, everyone else was stunned.
Even a wolf demon who is familiar with the mountains and fields can get lost when running into a new area, let alone these officials who have been living in the city for many years and enjoying a good life.
They searched the new area for a whole day like headless flies , but found nothing. Chen Jiu ran away so fast that even his shadow disappeared.
When it was night, they were ready to lie down and rest after a tiring day, but countless ghosts from the underworld inexplicably appeared in the new area.
This time, they were really stimulated.
There are countless ghosts in the underworld who want to take over the bodies of mortals and come to the world of the living to fulfill their wishes. The yang energy and even the flesh and blood of mortals are coveted by countless ghosts and monsters. Yifengdian, where a large population gathers, immediately becomes the focus of ghosts' attacks.
It is true that the Lingguans are specialized in dealing with demons and monsters, but they are not omnipotent gods. They cannot withstand monsters that outnumber them by dozens or even hundreds of times.
When the magistrate Wang Xiangchun saw that he was no match for the enemy, he abandoned the people of Yifengdian without a second thought and fled all his spiritual officials and clerks, cutting a path through the devil and escaping.
Although the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo were both in a somewhat embarrassing state, the City God Xu Gongfu and the County Magistrate Wang Xiangchun did not leave the new area but fled back to Jimo County or even the Qingzhou Prefecture City Yidu.
There is no other way. The temptation of the god-level skills is too great. Even if they have to kill monsters everywhere, they must catch Chen Jiu and get the skills!
The underworld is a completely different scene at this moment.
The ghosts in the underworld run much faster than the mortals in the world, and news spreads faster too.
A ghost fairy fell in the Qingzhou land of the Yang world, and there happened to be several broken Yellow Springs Roads connected to the underworld, forming a Yin and Yang realm that is rarely seen in thousands of years.
The Yin and Yang world is not only filled with strong yin energy, but also has many mortals living here. It is simply a paradise for ghosts!
The news spread quickly, and the underworld was in an uproar. I don’t know how many ghosts were calling their friends to rush over here.
After receiving the letter from the City God Xu Gongfu, the Eastern Ghost Emperor of the Northern Underworld did not make any move for a long time.
There was no way, he had limited men under his command, and the tens of thousands of men led by the fallen Yin Shuai Lu Boyan were in charge of this large area.
If he wanted to take back the Yin and Yang world and clear out all the ghosts and fragments of the Yellow Springs Road, he would have to mobilize at least tens of thousands of troops from other places.
The Northern Underworld is not specialized in fighting wars. The Six Paths of Reincarnation alone is enough to keep them busy. Where can he mobilize so many troops at this time?
Even the Eastern Ghost Emperor couldn't handle it, so Jimo City God Xu Gongfu and Qingzhou Judge Lu Daozhi naturally couldn't handle it either.
For a while, the new domain really became a paradise for ghosts and monsters, and the Yin and Yang world was overrun with ghosts.
