1872 Changes in the Ghost City and the Awakened Yama of the Ten Temples!
During Huang Shang's time abroad, he saw a lot of top powerhouses, but strangely, except when he was fighting for the fragments of the World Tree, he felt the power of the Thunder Law from the Shield of Zeus in Athena's hand.
, other gods reborn in the last days, such as Athena, are strong, but there is not even one person with the power of law.
At first, he thought that the power of the law was extremely difficult to comprehend, but after returning to China, he found that this was not the case at all. At least as Emperor Yan said, comprehending the law, an epic breakthrough, is very important for people like Huang Shang in the last days.
It is certainly an extremely difficult natural chasm to break through for the strong ones who have cultivated step by step, but for the many reborn gods who have already possessed extremely high cultivation levels and mastered the power of the law before the end of the catastrophe, this way
Passes are almost non-existent.
So the question is, why have Poseidon and the others failed to exert the power of the law from beginning to end?
Didn’t realize it?
Still unable to use this power?
For a time, Huang Shang became more and more confused as he thought about it.
However, he also knew that now was not the time to ask such questions, so after meeting Zhong Kui, in order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Huang Shang sent a message to Zhong Kui and entered Fengdu City with Zhong Kui.
"The changes in Fengdu City are so great..."
After a few months, Huang Shang entered Fengdu City again, but at this moment, Fengdu City had undergone earth-shaking changes from before, so that Huang Shang couldn't help but look shocked when he looked at everything in Fengdu City.
At this moment, under the leadership of Zhong Kui, Huang Shang did not go through the Ghost Gate, Huangquan Road and Naihe Bridge like last time, but came directly to the interior of Fengdu.
Perhaps due to the influence of some kind of power, the interior of Fengdu is almost exactly the same as the Fengdu Ghost City in Huang Shang's domain, except that the area is larger and the aura of death is more intense. At the same time, it is somewhat similar to that in his domain.
Unlike the empty Fengdu City, this Fengdu City is filled with an astonishing number of wandering ghosts.
But the strange thing is that these ghosts are not as ferocious as the ghosts Huang Shang has seen in the past. Instead, they are calmer and more peaceful than many survivors in the outside world. They live in this ghost city, just like the lives of ordinary people before the end of the world.
Their city is as peaceful and peaceful as there are even many ghosts selling various goods, running some shops, and there are also ghosts buying some things, making this ghost town look much more prosperous and lively.
"This is……"
Seeing this scene, Huang Shang even forgot about the previous question about the secret of the epic realm, and was stunned, showing doubts.
"They are all poor devils."
Looking at Huang Shang's shocked look, Zhong Kui sighed slightly and said: "The spiritual energy was revived, the world changed drastically, and countless innocent people died tragically. However, because the six paths of reincarnation had not yet been established, and there was no guidance from the underworld at that time, these ghosts were either after the first seven
If you are burned by the sun's yang energy, your soul will be destroyed, or you will turn into a ghost and harm the world."
"However, after experiencing the yin catastrophe, Fengdu finally had some changes, so it began to take in those poor lonely ghosts. Later, the yang catastrophe came, the yin and yang were balanced, and many judges spent the yin and yin catastrophe.
We were punished and could finally leave Fengdu and walk outside, so we also started to guide the ghosts from the outside world into the city as we did in ancient times, and at the same time, we hunted down those evil spirits who did all kinds of evil and went to hell."
Having said this, Zhong Kui paused for a moment, and then continued: "It's just that now, although we can perform our duties, extradite the ghosts, and hunt down the evil ghosts, the six paths of reincarnation have not been established, and the underworld is in chaos, so we can only
We can keep these wandering ghosts in Fengdu and give them a place to stay."
"Why don't these wandering ghosts have any ferocity or resentment?"
After hearing Zhong Kui's words, Huang Shang asked curiously.
You must know that among the 10,000 people who die in the apocalypse, 9,999 out of 10,000 died unexpectedly. They did not die at the end of their lives. As we all know, people who die unexpectedly tend to accumulate a lot of resentment, and now Huang Shang
But I don’t feel the resentment that I should have in these lonely ghosts. What is going on?
"This is all thanks to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Speaking of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Zhong Kui's bearded face couldn't help but show a look of solemnity and respect, and said in a deep voice: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, although he is helping your little brother reshape his body and pass on the Buddhist teachings.
He lost a lot of strength, but the power of faith he had accumulated was strong after all, so it didn't take long to recover. After recovering, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued to lecture on the sutra platform, in order to
Eliminate the grievances and karma of these lonely ghosts."
Having said this, Zhong Kui smiled and said: "Of course, there are some evil souls and ghosts with deep karma that are difficult to overcome, but these guys have all been stuffed into the eighteenth level of hell by us. When their sins are punished by the eighteenth level of hell,
After they are almost eliminated, we will take them out and let them receive the baptism of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"So that's it..."
After hearing Zhong Kui's words, Huang Shang understood immediately.
Although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not a Buddha, he is definitely one of the most influential beings in Buddhism. After all, the great oath of vowing not to become a Buddha until hell is empty is so classic, even if it is not very common before the end of the world.
Huang Shang, who understands Buddhist culture, is also familiar with its famous name.
Furthermore, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was originally there to save the unjust souls and ghosts in hell. Now, those wronged souls and ghosts are temporarily thrown into hell to sharpen their maleness and evil thoughts. With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s ability, he can save the ghosts of ordinary people who died in vain.
That's not so easy to grasp.
"Then what's going on outside the city? Why are there so many living people?"
Thinking of this, Huang Shang asked again.
"Things outside the city...that's a long story."
Zhong Kui shook his head, organized his words, and said: "In the beginning, strangers were not allowed to enter our place. After all, once those ghosts and evil spirits left Fengdu to commit evil, we would not be able to do anything against them due to the threat of divine punishment.
But as we, the Yin Chai judges, have passed the heavenly punishment and begun to exercise the vocation of Yin Chai and the "Yin Law" as outsiders, no ghosts around Fengdu City dare to cause trouble, and no ghosts dare to secretly absorb the yang energy of living people.
, even killing people and devouring souls. Once a ghost dares to do this, we will immediately take action and send him to the eighteenth level of hell."
"Oh, the Eighteen Levels of Hell still have a certain deterrent effect on those guys, so the effect is quite good."
Speaking of this, Zhong Kui smiled bitterly: "But I don't know when it started, when those living people discovered that the ghosts near the ghost city no longer hurt people, and even disappeared after listening to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's sermons.
After losing their ferocious nature and becoming no different from ordinary people, more and more people began to gather around Fengdu City, and even began to establish gathering places to live here permanently."
"And these people can be roughly divided into three categories."
"The first type is the idiots whose family and friends are dead, but who have deep obsessions that they can't let go of. They come to Feng just to see the people they meet, even if they are different people and ghosts, they have to look the same.
Stay together."
"The second type of people are interested in the safer environment here. After all, although the yin energy around Fengdu is heavy, there are many ways to resolve it, and they can even use it to practice. At the same time, those zombies and mutant creatures, monsters
And all kinds of monsters dare not approach Fengdu, so this is a very safe place for those survivors who have no ability to protect themselves, so they choose to live here without worrying about being bullied by others in the outside world.
Or they can be used as cannon fodder. This category of people is also the largest, accounting for more than 80% of all people."
"As for the third type, they are those who are greedy for profit and are speculative."
"Although Fengdu is a ghost city in the underworld, due to the gathering of yin energy, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures have been born. At the same time, many ghost cultivators also have their own special skills and can refine many precious ghost elixirs and ghost weapons. These things are in the outside world
, especially in some places where there are few ghosts, which can be said to be priceless, the value here will be much lower. On the other hand, many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the outside world are not available here, especially some treasures that reconcile yin and yang.
The value here is astonishing. So many people are also fancying the prospects and profits in this area, and begin to shuttle between Fengdu and other ancient capitals and gathering places, reselling these two types of treasures to earn the difference."
"This kind of person is called a ghost businessman."
"In the beginning, ghost traders were only run by a few individuals, and the scale was small. But soon the astonishing profits were discovered by people from the eight ancient capitals. Then the eight ancient capitals sent people to do business here, and even monopolized the position of ghost traders.
, a blockade drove many individual ghost traders to a dead end. In the end, it was the Ten Palaces of Yama and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who spoke out to calm these disputes and allow everyone to trade fairly. But even so, because the eight ancient capitals were wealthy and rich in resources,
The scale of business conducted by ghost merchants in the eight ancient capitals often far exceeds that of private ghost merchants, and they also earn the most profits."
"But there's nothing we can do about this. After all, we can't force others not to do business with the Eight Ancient Capitals."
After saying that, Zhong Kui also shrugged his shoulders, showing a hint of helplessness.
"Ten Halls of Yama?"
After listening to Zhong Kui's words, Huang Shang suddenly narrowed his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Senior Zhong Kui, listening to what you said, could it be that the ten legendary Yamas have awakened?"
He remembered clearly that the last time he came to Fengdu, only Zhong Kui and Meng Po were fully awake. Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was in a semi-awake state. What about the bull-headed horse-faced face, black and white impermanence, the legendary Ten Palaces of Yama, and even control
Emperor Fengdu, who was watching the entire underworld, showed no signs of waking up.
But now that Zhong Kui is saying this, could it be that Yama of the Tenth Palace has awakened?
