Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 897: The sky is the blue sky, the sky is the lawless sky, the sky is the dark sky
The starry sky was dim, and no light could be seen anymore. The good boy took Gu Xiaoxing and wandered around in it, searching continuously.
Guai Gui didn't know where the Hades was, but he believed that as long as he looked for her, he would be able to find her.
In fact, before meeting Gu Xiaoxing, Guaigui had already been searching alone in the underworld for many years.
Once, when Guai Gui was being surrounded by a ghost hunting team, he accidentally learned that the Ghost Lady might be in this direction.
So he kept going in this direction, and all he encountered along the way was no more light, but only extinguished stars, dark sky, and wandering ghosts.
The number of these lonely ghosts cannot be said to be everywhere, but there are still quite a few. It’s just that because the universe is too vast, they are distributed very sparsely, and only three or two can be seen occasionally.
But on this day, they encountered a floating palace in this dark starry sky. Outside the palace, thousands of ghosts were wandering!
This discovery immediately made Guaigui's expression slightly tense. He instinctively felt that there was danger there and wanted to avoid it.
But at this moment, a slight exclamation came from the floating palace!
Then the palace door suddenly opened, and a ray of light flew out in an instant. In a flash, it crossed a long distance and appeared in front of Guaigui and Gu Xiaoxing.
When the light and shadow paused, what was revealed was an illusory figure with black hair and black pupils.
There is no doubt that this is also a ghost.
Judging from the other party's smart eyes, it is not difficult to see that this is a ghost with the same will as the good ghost!
Moreover, the level of this Will Ghost must be higher than that of the Obedient Ghost, and it has at least reached the fourth ancient realm!
But the specific level of his cultivation cannot be seen by the good ghost!
Just instinctively, the good ghost felt that this will ghost that suddenly appeared and blocked their way was extremely dangerous!
So he stood in front of Gu Xiaoxing, with a ferocious look on his face, and looked at the other person vigilantly.
Even Gu Xiaoxing looked at the Will Ghost blankly.
However, there was no murderous intent on Will Ghost's face. Instead, he looked at the Good Ghost with interest and spoke slowly: "I didn't expect to meet someone like me in this universe...!"
Having said this, the Will Ghost looked at Gu Xiaoxing again, and was stunned especially when he saw the coffin in Gu Xiaoxing's hand.
Perhaps because of its higher level, compared to the good ghost, the eyes of this will ghost are deeper. When his gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxing, there was a stronger sense of thought in his eyes.
"It looks like the same species, but it's not the same species, and it's not a ghost either. How strange...!"
Such words immediately made the Good Ghost's face more alert. He bent slightly, as if ready to attack, as if he would immediately attack if the Will Ghost made any improper move.
At this time, the Will Ghost had already shifted his gaze away and refocused his gaze on the Good Ghost.
Although he discovered some clues from Gu Xiaoxing that made him curious, he didn't seem to have any intention of delving into it further.
Even when he looked at the Good Ghost again, Will Ghost showed a hint of kindness on his face, and then smiled and said: "Are you looking for... the Dark Lady?"
These words made the vigilant look on the good ghost's face pause. It was obvious that he understood what the will ghost said.
Subconsciously, the good boy nodded.
The smile on the Will Ghost's face became even more intense, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed in a certain direction in the dark starry sky .
"She's there!"
The obedient ghost looked in the direction the will ghost pointed, and saw that it was pitch black.
When the good ghost turned around and looked at the will ghost again, he saw the kind smile on the other's face. Although he didn't know why the other was so sure, the good ghost inexplicably believed it a little.
The vigilance and viciousness on his face gradually subsided. The good ghost gestured and babbled, as if he wanted to say something.
The will ghost with black hair and black pupils understood what the other party said, shook his head, and still smiled: "I am different from you. She... doesn't want to see me. Even if she really fulfills her long-cherished wish and sends all ghosts to reincarnation, there will be no more lonely ghosts in the underworld."
"But I am the only one who will be left in this hell on earth by her...! Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, so just go now."
The good ghost's eyes flickered, as if he was trying hard to understand what the will ghost said, but he really couldn't understand.
Finally, the good ghost bowed to the will ghost and uttered two words stiffly.
"Thanks!"
These two simple words made the Will Ghost stunned for a moment, then he looked up to the sky, laughed loudly and spoke.
"The great way has collapsed, the world has changed, people are like ghosts, and ghosts are like people."
"The sky is blue, and the sky is without justice!"
The laughter of the Will Ghost was wild, yet contained sadness and irony, and instantly resounded throughout the universe.
Suddenly, the Will Ghost lowered his head abruptly and looked at the Obedient Ghost with burning eyes.
"My name is Dao Mingzi. Do you still remember the name I used in my later life?"
For a good ghost, rebirth is equivalent to his previous life, the life before he turned into a ghost.
Although Guaigui was not very smart, he understood what was said. However, he had almost forgotten about his past life.
Even though he would occasionally recall the past, the time when he was still a human being, all he could remember were probably some vague images.
Inexplicably, in Guaigui's mind at this moment, the scene appeared when he first met Gu Xiaoxing. Gu Xiaoxing stood alone in the dark starry sky, as if he had merged with the universe, like a desolate painting.
The next moment, this picture combined with the vague scene in the ghost's memory and gradually overlapped.
After the overlap , another picture appeared in the mind of the good boy.
In this painting, there is also a person standing in the dim starry sky, but this person is no longer Gu Xiaoxing, but has become a middle-aged man.
In the middle-aged man's arms, there was a sleeping baby, and half of the middle-aged man's body was already illusory.
He is turning into a ghost!
In other words, he is becoming a ghost along with the universe!
But despite this, the middle-aged man used his own skills and everything he had to prevent the baby in his arms from turning into a ghost.
Even the middle-aged man's body was completely illusory, turning into a lonely ghost without will.
But he still subconsciously used everything he had to fight against the entire universe's transformation into a ghost, to prevent the baby in his arms from turning into a ghost.
One year, ten years, twenty years!
In the middle-aged man's arms, the baby was still sleeping, but his body was growing and turning into a handsome young man.
If he wakes up, this age will be the prime of his life!
But in the end, he did not wake up. While sleeping, his body finally began to become illusory like the middle-aged man, and began to... become a ghost!
As for the middle-aged man, he exhausted everything he had in his struggle against the Tao.
He looked at the ghostly young man in his arms, shed a tear, murmured three words, and then disappeared without a trace.
Even his last voice, the ghostly young man could not hear it.
Even that tear is illusory.
But this tear fell on the young man who had turned into a ghost and eventually merged into him.
It was like a seed, a touch of obsession, that finally awakened the young man and made him a ghost of will, different from other ghosts!
And the ghost of will that was born is... the good ghost!
After countless years, the good ghost finally saw the past clearly through this scroll and heard the three words shouted by the middle-aged man before he disappeared!
"Little Pillar!"
The good ghost murmured and uttered those three words!
A drop of illusory tear gathered from the corner of the good ghost's eye and slid down.
The good boy knows that this is his name!
And that middle-aged man was his father!
Finally, at this moment, the aura of the good ghost, or the little pillar, began to rise wildly, from the third ancient realm, straight into... the fourth ancient realm!
But even so, there was no excitement in Xiao Zhuzi's eyes. His eyes were obviously more lively and brighter.
But in those eyes, there was only sadness.
Dao Mingzi looked at Xiao Zhuzi's expression, wondering what he was thinking of, and sighed slightly.
"I'll remember this name for my future life!"
Then, Dao Mingzi suddenly waved his hand, and tens of thousands of ghosts that were wandering around the palace in the distance immediately floated over.
"Take them with you. Although the Lady of the Underworld does not fight with anyone, the world forces her to fight. I hope these former Underworld soldiers can lend her a helping hand."
The tens of thousands of wandering ghosts pulled Xiao Zhuzi out of his endless sorrow.
Although the sadness in his eyes still existed, after entering the fourth ancient realm, he became obviously smarter. He was no longer as ignorant as before and was able to understand and think about more things.
And from Dao Mingzi's words, he heard some clues that something big might be about to happen to Mingnu!
Especially when Xiao Zhuzi got a little sense of these tens of thousands of ghosts, he was immediately shocked.
It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to accurately judge the cultivation level of lonely ghosts, but will ghosts are special. They can command all ghosts, so they can naturally easily judge the cultivation level of lonely ghosts.
But before that, Xiao Zhuzi was unable to see the cultivation level of these tens of thousands of lonely ghosts.
It was not until this moment, after he was promoted to the Fourth Ancient Realm, that he finally realized that these tens of thousands of lonely ghosts were actually all... in the Fourth Ancient Realm!
This discovery made Xiao Zhuzi sad and stunned.
Now that his cultivation level has been raised, he is different and can understand more things.
It is already difficult for ordinary lonely ghosts to grow to the fourth ancient realm, but now, tens of thousands of them suddenly appear!
Xiao Zhuzi still understood the meaning of this.
Obviously, these old underworld soldiers mentioned by Dao Mingzi are different from ordinary ghosts!
And Dao Mingzi is even more extraordinary!
In the end, Xiao Zhuzi bowed deeply to Dao Mingzi again, then took Gu Xiaoxing and tens of thousands of underworld soldiers and left.
Only Dao Mingzi was left standing alone, gazing into the distance with an endlessly deep gaze, muttering to himself.
"When the wind and rain come, the sky and earth collapse; when the tide goes, it is from beginning to end!"
"You want to make up for the mistakes of Daoming Court and make sure there are no more lonely ghosts in this world. But when the catastrophe of origin comes, even your long-cherished wish will be wiped out. Why bother making things difficult for yourself...!"
A hint of helplessness flashed across Dao Mingzi's eyes, and finally he waved his hand and flew back to the palace!
There is no plaque on the gate of this palace.
But if you walk into the palace, you will find a plaque hanging upside down inside the gate.
There are four big characters on it. These four characters seem to have infinite charm and rhyme of Taoism. Ordinary cultivators will be hurt mentally just by looking at them!
These four words are called...Dao Ming Zhe Tian!!!
