Chapter 461: The Origin of the Dead City
Chapter 461 The Source of the City of Wasted Death
When hazy light appeared in the sky again, countless cries disappeared.
The shouts of hawkers and various noises came from the street again.
The door that was originally open in front of him was now closed, and guards filed out of the courtyard.
Li Pu looked back and saw that the street was very lively and the sounds of hawking were coming and going.
It seemed as if everything that happened last night was an illusion.
Li Pu wanted to go directly to the city lord's palace, but after thinking about it, he turned around and walked in one direction.
The journey was no different from yesterday... No!
At this time, Li Pu discovered that there were people singing on the stage yesterday, but now it was empty.
As I continued walking forward, I saw that no one was guarding the rouge shop on the roadside. Yesterday, there was a group of women discussing the quality of rouge.
When Li Pu saw this, he seemed to understand something.
Li Pu came to the shanty he last met yesterday, and saw the old man talking nonchalantly and writing something on the roadside.
"Why are you writing the Diamond Sutra here?"
Li Pu took a step forward and stood behind the old man and asked.
When the old man saw Li Pu behind him, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
"How did you survive?"
The old man asked.
"A few ghosts also want to kill me?"
"well!"
The old man looked very excited and kept cheering.
After saying that, he also brought Li Pu into his dilapidated shack.
After walking into the shack, Li Pu discovered that the shack was also filled with Diamond Sutras.
In the small shack, as long as there is a place where you can stand, scriptures from the Diamond Sutra are written on it.
"Can you leave this city of futile death?"
The old man closed the broken wooden door and turned back to ask Li Pu.
"It's not difficult. It's just that there are some strange things outside the city, but if you want to leave, it's not difficult."
"Okay, take this, and after you leave the City of Fusi, hand this letter to..."
"Wait a minute, what is this city of mine? Why should I leave?"
Seeing how unruly Li Pu was, the old man sneered.
"Hunter, I admit that you are capable of surviving a night in this city of futile death, but the water in the city of futile death is too deep and you can't control it. Just listen to my words."
When Li Pu saw the old man talking like this, he immediately became unconvinced.
"Please tell me in detail and see if a certain family is not sure about it!"
"Have you ever heard of the Black Mountain Old Demon?"
"Of course I've heard of it."
After the old man explained it, Li Pu finally understood.
In fact, this city was not originally a city of vain death, but a city of Fengdu.
Fengdu City was originally the place where the yang world and the underworld met, and the yin energy was extremely strong.
But at that time, all the gods and Buddhas were present in heaven and earth, and the ghosts did not dare to make the slightest move.
Later, the world changed dramatically, gods and Buddhas disappeared, and ghosts and ghosts danced wildly.
And the biggest one in the underworld is the current owner of this city of vain death - the old demon of Black Mountain.
The old demon from Black Mountain controls several cities in the underworld, and the strongest among them is the City of Wasted Death.
The person who died in vain was already very resentful, and now that he is captured by the old demon from Montenegro and cannot be reincarnated, his resentment is even more intense.
But no matter how heavy the resentment is, it will only cause chaos in the underworld and will not affect the earthly world.
Until a hundred years ago, the old demon of Black Mountain took advantage of the massive resentment of the people who died in vain in the city to bring the shadow of the city to the underworld.
But now, the people who have died in vain within a thousand miles of the city of vain death cannot go to the underworld. They can only come to this city of vain death in the world of the sun, and be controlled by the old demon of Black Mountain and become part of this city.
Today's huge city is actually not made of bricks and stones at all, but made of the bones of countless people who died in vain.
Under this city, countless corpses are buried in the ground.
These people who appeared during the day were actually wandering souls controlled by the old demon from Black Mountain in the City of Vain.
Two years ago, the City of Wasted Death no longer just passively attracted the souls of those who died in vain, but began to actively spread the black mist.
Anyone who walks into the black mist will eventually enter this city of futile death and become a part of the Black Mountain Old Demon.
The Black Mountain Old Demon is originally the Yin Mountain of the underworld. He is afraid of the bright and powerful sun, so the black mist that blocks the sun gradually forms and spreads every day.
"Old man, who are you? And why did you enter this city of futile death?"
Knowing so many secrets, this old man must be no ordinary person.
"Old man Zhuge Wolong."
The sloppy old man smiled and said a name.
"Oh? Are you Zhuge Wolong?"
This Zhuge Wolong is not Zhuge Liang, but he is also a famous scholar.
It's just that Li Pu didn't expect to meet him here. Logically speaking, shouldn't he be writing a book in a prison somewhere now?
"It's me."
The old man stroked his beard proudly, as if he was happy that Li Pu could get to know him.
"Then why are you here?"
"It's a long story..."
It turned out that this old man had actually arrived in the City of Fusui half a year ago, and the City of Fusei had spread over 800 miles in just two years.
The old man entered the city of futile death alone and used the nine-sky star formation to seal the black mist. However, his strength was limited and he could not completely seal the Black Mountain old demon.
Therefore, every day when the yin energy is heavy at night, the black mist will continue to spread, and during the day, the nine-sky star array will absorb sunlight and suppress the black mist.
This is the reason why the black mist moves like a tidal wave, and why Zhuge Wolong wants to enter this city of futile death.
"Then you were in this city of vain death, and the old Black Mountain demon didn't notice you?"
"Of course I discovered it. Anyone who walks into this city of futile death will be discovered by the old demon from Montenegro."
When Li Pu heard what Zhuge Wolong said, he had some doubts.
"Then why doesn't this old Black Mountain monster kill you?"
Seeing Li Pu asking this, Zhuge Wolong smiled proudly.
"It's not that he won't kill me, but that he can't kill me. What are these?"
The old man pointed to a piece of rag with scripture written on it.
"Diamond Sutra."
"These Vajra Sutras are written by my essence. With the help of these sutras, the old monster from Black Mountain cannot kill me."
"Then where is this old Black Mountain monster?"
"Where is it? This city is it."
"city?"
Only then did Li Pu realize that this old demon from Black Mountain was originally a spirit from Yin Mountain and had the ability to clone himself.
His clone can enter various mountains, cities, and buildings, and control them to become part of his body.
"What's so surprising about this? If I hadn't used the formation to suppress the old demon, I'm afraid everyone in the eight hundred miles radius would have become his clones."
"Eight hundred miles?"
Seeing Li Pu being so surprised, Zhuge Wolong smiled and said.
"What does this mean? The old Black Mountain demon's true form in the underworld is probably thousands of miles long, only eight hundred miles long."
Li Pu finally understood why these Taoist cultivators used various means to fight against demons. Who could resist the demons who were thousands of miles away physically?
