Zhan Changfeng and three people entered the city. There was no one guarding the huge city gate. The streets inside were deserted. Stalls had been kicked down, shop doors kicked open, tables and chairs lying down, and scattered things. There were also faint sounds of crying. Take advantage of the rain to hand it over.
The continuous light rain that fell halfway became heavier and heavier. Zhan Changfeng had a vague feeling that the yin was rising and the yang was declining when he entered the Guifang Kingdom. This became more obvious under this rain.
Xing Sui touched his arm and said, "Why do you feel so panicked?"
"The aura of Guifang Country is like this." Jin Buhuan, who was well-informed, talked about Guifang's origins, "Guifang Country is vast and sparsely populated. In terms of overall national strength, it may be worse than the third-rate princes in the Shanhai Realm, but It is the most mysterious ancient country, with most sects in this world. The princes keep a distance from it, and even the Donglin Dynasty, which has the ambition to dominate the mountains and seas, has never taken the initiative to find trouble with it."
"The core of it is the Guifang Clan. It is said that the Guifang Clan has been inherited for tens of thousands of years, and its heritage is as good as those of the long-established sects. You must know that Donglin has only been founded for a few thousand years. What is strange is that the Guifang Clan has been in existence for tens of thousands of years. They did not take the initiative to found a country, nor did they take the initiative to provoke a war. The Guifang people have always lived in Xifeng City and rarely come out for activities throughout the year."
Jin Buhuan's voice sounded like he was telling a ghost story, low, deep and desolate, "Everyone in the Guifang clan is named Gui. They are all good at Yin and Yang magic. It is said that they can travel between Yin and Yang worlds. They are ferrymen on the boundary between life and death. After death, they will save you. You can also suffer less.”
It's a pity that this is a failed ghost story. Xing Sui's eyes gleamed when he heard it. He only knew that the ghost country was a vassal state, but he had never heard of these things. "Is it the soul of life or the soul of earth that is being saved?"
"Earth Soul."
Xing Suiyi was horrified, "Then the Guifang clan is simply the chosen clan!"
For monks, the underworld is the most mysterious place. It is on the back side of the yang. No one can truly reach it, not even the quasi-sage, not even the ghost.
Living souls generally have three souls of heaven and earth. The soul of destiny resides in the body, evolves into seven souls, and inherits the memories of this life.
After death, the heavenly soul returns to heaven, the earthly soul goes to hell to be punished, and the fateful soul dissipates. If the fateful soul has obsessions or opportunities, it may become a ghost.
When ghosts first form, it is like a new life. Affected by their previous dispositions and memories, some become evil ghosts and some become good spirits. They like to live in places with heavy Yin energy, and gradually ghost paths are born and ghosts are created. In the Netherworld Blood Pool of the Taoist Holy Land, all ghosts will be brought into the Holy Land.
In a broad sense, ghosts belong to Yin. If there is a boundary between Yin and Yang, then the Netherworld Blood Pool is at the edge of the Yin Realm.
But the real underworld can only be reached by earth souls! That is hell! The home of all evil!
Once you enter hell, you can never come out. If the evil karma on the earthly soul is cleared, it will be banished to Jiuyou. Only in Jiuyou, there is a chance to re-enter the earth. For example, if you can ask for a magic talisman, you can Please ask Jiuyou's earth soul to come out to help you temporarily, but you have to be careful of being backlashed.
There is no living being who is not afraid of hell. After the death of some powerful bodies, in order to avoid going to hell, they reincarnate with true spirits. It is known that true spirits carry the earthly soul of good and evil deeds and the memories of this life. The only way to avoid hell is The second method is to seize the body, but the sequelae of seizing the body are relatively serious, and you will bear the karma of the original body for nothing.
By saying this, we can see how mysterious and powerful the Guifang Clan's ability to save earthly souls is.
Zhan Changfeng had seen some records about the Guifang Clan in Yang Jiecheng's Kung Fu Pavilion, so he wanted to come here to take a look.
After crossing the broken flag and walking along the deserted street, suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came, and a group of Yancheng soldiers arrived belatedly.
Refugee-like people emerged from hidden places one after another, crying and flocking to the Yancheng soldiers. Suddenly, the empty streets were filled with mourning.
"Master Bing, please save my son!"
"My family's savings have all been robbed. How will I live in the future?"
"My daughter, how do you want your parents to live?"
....
A man in military uniform looked at the scene of being ravaged by bandits in front of him with a livid face. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely get what you deserve. You go home and clean up first. You still have to live your life."
A group of soldiers will rush to the city wall and start building fortifications.
"What a sin." An old lady wearing a gray cotton-padded jacket sat on the stone steps. The water droplets falling from the eaves of the corridor fell one by one, forming a small puddle around her.
Zhan Changfeng stood under the eaves and watched the rain. Hearing her sigh, he asked sideways: "Do bandits often come to the city to rob?"
The old lady tried hard to open her cloudy eyes, as if she wanted to see the young man who asked the question clearly. Unfortunately, she was old and her vision was too blurry. "They must be from outside. I advise you to leave quickly. If you want to stay,
It's best to go to the inn next to the city lord's palace, who knows when the bandits will come again."
Xing Suiyi was puzzled, "Since the Guifang Clan is so powerful, why can't they even manage it well? How come there are still people who dare to come to the Guifang Clan's territory to do evil?"
"Hey, I haven't finished what I just said." Jin Buhuan continued, "I also mentioned just now that the ghost side did not take the initiative to found the country."
"The Guifang Clan has been nestling in their own Xifeng City, occasionally walking out. In ancient times, people wanted to seek peace after death, so they chased them outside Xifeng City, hoping to be saved by the Guifang Clan after death. Over time, they stayed in Xifeng
Settlements were formed around the city, and the settlements became cities. Once there were cities, there were struggles. There were even strong men who wanted the Guifang Clan to listen to their orders and serve them. They stormed Xifeng City. Needless to say, the outcome was.
Each one of them died quietly, and there are rumors that the Oni Fang Clan sent these people to hell."
"After that, the surrounding cities took the initiative to request to become affiliated with the Guifang Clan. The Guifang Clan then established the Fang Kingdom. However, all the cities in the country were governed by the city lords themselves. The Guifang Clan never asked about it. Only the Guifang Clan had to do it.
When the Fang clan came forward, they only sent one or two clansmen out. Aren’t there two Gui Fang clan members at this sea meeting?”
One is Gui Qian, one of the supervisors. Zhan Changfeng went to the city lord's mansion several times but never saw him.
There is another one, Gui Shenzhou. Although he is at the top of the list and also participated in the competition, there seems to be not much news about him.
"Is Xifeng City forbidden to outsiders?" she asked.
"Yes, West Wind City is closed all year round and refuses visitors."
"This is probably the most unlikeable country." While enjoying the trip, I regretted not being able to meet the Guifang clan.
Zhan Changfeng folds his sleeves and may not be able to see him now, but he can meet Gui Shenzhou for a while in the battle of Cangmang.
The three of them were taking shelter from the rain on the porch, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Soldiers in the distance set up stakes outside the city gate in the rain to repair the damaged city gate. There were also soldiers holding recruitment orders and posting them on the notice board.
inside.
The old lady was still chattering, probably because no one listened to her in the past, or maybe she was just talking to herself, "These city guards know how to stop them. When they can't stop them, they run away first and wait for the bandits to come."
As soon as I left, they all came back, then stopped me and ran away again..."
"The blind woman is complaining again." There is a silk and satin shop under this eaves, but the things inside have been emptied. The guy who spoke to him was a man with innate cultivation. While repairing the window, he exaggeratedly said: "If you complain again, be careful."
The soldier sealed your mouth."
The old lady seemed to have been hit by something, and she said angrily, "If City Lord Yan is here, it will be the bandits' turn to bully us, and these soldiers will not dare to say one thing and do another."
"Just keep your voice down," the man bent over and gritted his teeth at the old lady, his voice seemed to be muffled by a cloth, "Don't mention City Master Yan, that City Master Yan is dead, and General Yanyu is in charge now. If your words spread,
Into the ears of General Yanyu..."
The voice behind him was lowered, and the meaning was self-evident.
The title of the person in charge is general instead of city lord?
Zhan Changfeng asked: "Does Lord Yan City have another extremely talented heir?"
The guy responded: "Yeah."
"This heir is far away, and he has not yet succeeded to the position of city lord because he is too young." There is no questioning tone, a factual statement.
The waiter looked at the monk under the eaves in surprise. She was short in stature, with a straight back. She wore a moon-white gown and a silver hairpin with ink. Her eyebrows were calm, her demeanor was dignified, she was cold and polite, as if the wind was a god. Jade was used as a bone.
