Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 114: Zhong Ying's Past
After listening to Hou Fu's words, Lin Qianxing roughly understood the situation of this world.
Ordinary people in the world are like lambs being herded, insignificant.
Even if all the cultivators were added together, they would not be taken seriously by .
This game world, from beginning to end, is just a struggle between the underworld and the ghost realm.
The world of the living is just a chessboard used for the game between the two.
And the most crucial ones should be the four great masters at the ceiling level.
They are the ones who decide everything.
The three Yama Kings and the Ghost Emperor set the rules of this world. If they did not check and balance each other, the world of the living would have to run according to their wishes.
However, there are differences between the two.
The three Yama Kings prefer to maintain order and get the world back on track.
The Ghost Emperor seemed a little confused. He didn't seem to care whether the world was orderly or not. Or, he preferred the order of the survival of the fittest?
The only thing that Lin Qianxing couldn't understand was what benefit the Ghost Emperor would get from doing this.
After all, if it was as Gongsun Zhan had said to him before, if the Ghost Emperor disrupted the order of heaven and earth like he did, the world would sooner or later fall into deathly silence.
What value does a dead world have?
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing did not think deeply about the Ghost Emperor's motives.
It is still a little far-fetched to consider these things now. The most urgent thing is to complete the achievement first.
Lin Qianxing has completed two of the five achievements so far.
The remaining three achievements require killing one thousand ghost generals, well, using different types of spells to kill them.
Once completed, you can unlock the corresponding type of forbidden spell.
There are about three thousand ghost generals in the Jiaoshan ghost domain. In other words, if Lin Qianxing wants to complete three achievements at once, he has to go through all twelve ghost cities and kill them one by one using different spells.
But this is not a rigid level game where you can clear one city at a time. I'm afraid that as soon as Lin Qianxing attacks a ghost town, the remaining ghost towns will find out and join forces to deal with him.
Therefore, his best option is to kill a thousand ghost generals at once and unlock an achievement first.
It is not impossible.
As long as he plans ahead, takes advantage of the power of heaven and earth, and uses the power of the spells of heaven and earth, it will be entirely possible.
Of course, they have to be within a certain range, otherwise if they are too far away, Lin Qianxing won’t be able to handle it .
"By the way, how many ghost generals as powerful as you, Brother Hou, are there in our Qinwang City?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"We have a total of 213 ghost generals in Qinwang City, but it should be difficult to find ten of them with strength like mine." Hou Fu said with a smile.
Lin Qianxing seemed to have realized something. It seemed that there were also strong and weak ghost generals. At least Hou Fu should be considered the top one among them.
"Where are the other ghost generals now? Why haven't I seen them in these days?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"They all have important tasks to do. Some are like you, guarding a Yinshi mine in a certain place, or they have the responsibility to guard the town and guard various places in Qinwang City." Hou Fu explained.
"Guard the town? Will the ghost town in the ghost realm also be attacked by foreign enemies?" Lin Qianxing asked puzzledly.
"They are not external enemies. It's just that some Yin beasts generated by Yin energy will occasionally attack the town. They have no intelligence, their minds are confused, and their strength is not strong, but there may be a lot of them, so they need to kill and deal with them." Hou Fu replied.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing couldn't help but marvel at the sound and gained a new understanding of the ecological environment of the ghost realm.
I didn't expect that some living creatures could be generated from the yin energy. It's quite novel.
Afterwards, Lin Qianxing talked and drank with Hou Fu for a while, then he paid the bill, said goodbye to Hou Fu, and chose to leave alone.
Hou Fu wanted to go together, but Lin Qianxing said, "Brother Hou, I am not worthy of this opportunity. Please don't let me disturb your pleasure."
"But I'm enjoying it alone. How can I bear to see you leave in disappointment, Brother Yuan?" Hou Fu said with pretended regret.
Lin Qianxing knew that Hou Fu wanted to stay, and he was just pretending. After all, the time they had spent together was so short. If Lin Qianxing had not been in charge of the Yinshi mine and given him many benefits, he would not have said such polite words.
But even though I think so, I still have to say it for the sake of face.
Lin Qianxing deliberately frowned and said, "Brother Hou, you don't have to worry about this. I'm not leaving this time to sulk. If you can be carefree in the ghost realm, I, a living person, can naturally return to the world of the living to have fun!"
"Brother Yuan, you are the one who knows how to enjoy it." Hou Fu said with a knowing smile.
So, Lin Qianxing parted ways with Hou Fu.
After leaving that brothel , Lin Qianxing returned to his residence and began to look thoughtful.
According to Hou Fu, there are only more than 200 ghost generals in Qinwang City.
Even if he killed all the ghost generals in Qinwang City, he would only meet one-fifth of the requirements for a single achievement.
If nothing unexpected happens, once he kills the ghost general of Qinwang City, he will immediately attract ghosts from the entire ghost realm, and may even cause the Ghost Emperor to take action himself.
Then he had to end his play.
Of course, achievement progress will be retained.
But if that's the case, he would have to play the game five times to complete this achievement alone?
But if that's the case, it would be really troublesome.
While he was thinking, the space behind Lin Qianxing suddenly fluctuated, and then Zhong Ying's figure walked out of it.
"Junior Sister Zhong, you're back." Lin Qianxing greeted her with a smile.
To be honest, compared to the strict restrictions on Yin gods in the underworld, in the ghost realm, as long as one has a Jiaoshan Order, one can travel freely between the world of the living and the Jiaoshan ghost realm. It is too relaxed.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the ghost world does not care about the situation in the world of the living at all.
After all, to the ghost realm, the strength of the living world is just so-so, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it. Moreover, when a living person comes to the ghost realm, he is as conspicuous as a big light bulb, so there is no need to worry about being invaded and he will naturally let go.
"Yeah." Zhong Ying nodded, came to sit next to Lin Qianxing, and asked, "Brother Lin, are you thinking about something?"
"I am a little upset, but it's not a big deal." Lin Qianxing replied.
"I found a good place. Senior Brother Lin, come with me." Zhong Ying suddenly said.
As she spoke, she activated the Jiaoshan Order and pulled Lin Qianxing through the ghost realm and into the world of the living.
At this time, the two of them were on the edge of a high mountain. In front of them was a plain covered with colorful mountain flowers. There was lush grass and water, and some small animals could be seen from time to time. It was a pretty sight.
"This is a place I discovered by accident before. Is it okay?" Zhong Ying asked.
Lin Qianxing said: "It's a very beautiful view."
He felt that if the ghost realm was treated as a transit station and used for transportation, it would be very promising.
After all, the ghost realm is connected to various places in the world of the living, and one can travel anywhere at will with a Jiaoshan Order. This thing is more useful than his [Escape Spell] that can travel thousands of miles.
"Brother Lin, I know I can't help you, but sometimes it's better to say something out loud than to keep it in your heart. You will feel better once you say it out loud." Zhong Ying looked at the scenery ahead and said without turning his head, "When I was six years old, the evil spirits of Jiaoshan killed everyone in our village, including my parents. I remember it very clearly. If Master hadn't passed by at that time, I might have died in the hands of those evil spirits.
I was very sad and in pain at the time, until later, when my master told me that after learning the spell and becoming stronger, I could take revenge. Only then did I feel less sad.
I have always been very serious and hardworking in learning spells. My senior brothers and sisters thought that I was learning spells to show off in front of them. Only my master knew that I was doing it to seek revenge.
When I was twelve years old, I was too eager for quick success and almost fell to my death. Brother, you should also know that after that, my master told me that the power of the Jiaoshan Ghost Realm is very strong, so strong that I will never be able to succeed in revenge in my entire life.
Therefore, I was depressed for a long time, but later I studied the spells seriously and worked hard to improve my strength.
I don’t understand too many things, but I know that if I had the power, I could at least be like my master and save two more innocent children when the evil spirits in Jiaoshan massacred the city…”
As she was talking, Zhong Ying suddenly opened her mouth and : "Ah ...
Lin Qianxing watched this scene silently, feeling somewhat complicated.
He never expected that Zhong Ying actually had such a past.
Now that he thought about it carefully, when Feng Yiyin agreed to let Zhong Ying follow him to the ghost realm, he might have been trying to let Zhong Ying find an outlet for her emotions.
The pressure accumulated in this child's heart is too great, and he is too mature.
The mischievousness and unruliness she usually displays may just be because she doesn't want others to worry about her.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I lost my composure." After venting her anger, Zhong Ying looked back at Lin Qianxing embarrassedly.
"It's okay." Lin Qianxing reached out and gently brushed Zhong Ying's head, saying, "Do you want to know about my past?"
Feeling the warm hand behind her head, Zhong Ying's cheeks flushed a little, but she immediately forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Brother Lin, if you want to say anything, I will listen carefully."
Lin Qianxing smiled and said, "Actually, I am the same as you. We are both orphans who survived the massacre of the evil spirits in Jiaoshan. I used to have very poor talent. I only started to learn the [Soul-Gathering Spell] when I was sixteen ..."
"No way? Master clearly said that Senior Brother Lin, your talent is already comparable to that of our great master..." Zhong Ying said in confusion.
"Maybe I'm the type who can make a breakthrough after years of accumulation?" Lin Qianxing said with a slightly strange expression.
He can't say he's cheating, right?
"I know this. According to the records of the Yushan Sect, some sorcerers are like this. They are mediocre for the first few decades, but suddenly one day they become enlightened and their practice progresses by leaps and bounds. Senior Brother Lin, you should be considered one of those who became enlightened early!" Zhong Ying nodded.
"Maybe." Lin Qianxing said without comment.
…
After a conversation with Zhong Ying, Lin Qianxing clearly felt that his mood had improved a lot.
Indeed, humans are social animals after all. Sometimes having someone to listen to your nonsense can relieve a lot of your boredom.
After returning to the ghost realm, Lin Qianxing looked up at the incomplete Yin Moon and his expression became profound.
"Well, it's time to get started!!"
