Chapter 227 Window to the World

In general, the construction of the Old Ghost Palace does not meet the needs of sharing entertainment with the people, both from an aesthetic perspective and from a price perspective. That is to say, it looks like a lot of the people's money - both in a metaphorical and physical sense.

But this is exactly what Ning Mingmei wants. The ghost world brings civilization to the years, and Ning Mingmei brings civilization to the ghost world.

Strictly speaking, Ning Mingmei is now considered an illegal immigrant in the ghost world. Therefore, he gave the order without any psychological barriers: "Take out the Qiankun bag and put everything you can see into the Qiankun bag."

Other disciples: "Immortal Venerable, this is not a good idea, right?"

Ning Mingmei was accompanied to the Old Ghost Palace by several of Fu Weidao's disciples. These disciples were not familiar with Ning Mingmei's behavior and actually raised questions.

Ning Mingmei said: "There will be a fierce battle here. It may be difficult for us to protect ourselves, let alone these cultural relics? These cultural relics record the thousand-year civilization of the ghost world, but in the end, they were burned because of Fengshihou's selfish desires. Although this is the civilization of the ghost world, I feel very sorry when I see them. Although the fairy world and the ghost world have a feud, I will put this aside now and save it for them first!"

Several disciples felt very ashamed for a moment. Only then did they realize that they had misunderstood Immortal Ning's intentions.

Indeed, Immortal Ning is so rich, he must be a noble person. How could he possibly be trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune? !

Ning Mingmei took out a special Qiankun bag with extremely high reading and writing speed and large capacity. The disciples collected the cultural relics according to their titles, and when it came to the outer disciple Lian Chengyue's turn, there was nothing left.

Shi Ruzhuo sneered, "It's clear that your Ning Xianzun wants the property here, but he said it in such a high-sounding way. Now it's your turn. Anyway, there's nothing to take, so why don't you..."

Then he saw Lian Chengyue take in an entire wall along with the mural.

Shi Ruzhuo: ……￥#@%@￥

"Old senior, you can't say that about Immortal Ning." Lian Chengyue said calmly, "If he's happy, I'm happy. Besides..."

"Ning Xianzun can always make his own point, making those who are truly high-sounding unable to save face and have to work for him. Even though I know that Ning Xianzun is lying, I am still amazed by his logical ability. I am happy when he succeeds."

“…”

Shi Ruzhuo looked at Lian Chengyue's calm face and the strange light in her deep eyes, and suddenly shuddered. At that moment, he felt that this boy was actually a little strange.

Is it true that Lian Chengyue knows nothing about the means Ning Mingmei possesses? Do you really think Ning Mingmei is as bright as the moon?

Not at all.

It turns out that he fully appreciates and admires his strength.

Lian Chengyue said: "It is because we want to protect other people's historical buildings that we have to move every brick of it back to Qingji Sect and rebuild an identical one in Qingji Sect."

Lian Chengyue said thoughtfully: "What a pity. If the ghost world was also the territory of the fairy world, then the entire ghost world would be well protected."

Ning Mingmei was watching Lian Chengyue from the side, pointing to the system: "The bricks and tiles of the Ghost King Palace are also very valuable. I'm afraid my Great Yin Museum can't hold so many things. Fortunately, Lian Chengyue is very conscious. After I looted it, he took the initiative to take away the bricks and tiles. Given time, we can completely build a restored version of the Ghost King Palace near Qingji Sect. All kinds of buildings will gather here, so let's call it the Metropolitan Museum."

System: ...its male protagonist!

Its male protagonist now seems to have been played around by Ning Mingmei. The system felt like crying but had no tears, feeling that it was getting further and further away from its goal.

But it still had to play along with Ning Mingmei on the surface, so it pretended to be an ordinary system and sneered, "What's the value of bricks and tiles? They're just a few dollars, and I think you're really stingy."

Ning Mingmei said: "After Fengshi Hou is defeated, we in the Immortal Realm will support Wu Fang to become the new leader. When the situation in the Ghost Realm stabilizes, we will spread propaganda to them, let them value cultural heritage, and let the people in the Ghost Realm be excited and save money to buy back the cultural relics we have robbed."

system:……

rather! bright! Ignorance!

The system hasn't seen Ning Mingmei's methods for a long time. Now that I see him again, I find that he is still as evil as before.

"The ghost world uses so much human skin and bones from our fairy world. What a pity! I claim to be willing to peel off the skin, but I have never really done it. Now the ghost world has done it first. How can this not be considered an infringement of my potential property?" Ning Mingmei said, "It is not too much to peel off some of their cultural relics to get them back."

system:……

Ning Mingmei: "Hmm?"

"Are you speaking up for the human world?" the system asked.

A chilly feeling came up again. The system seems to always be like this. It wants Ning Mingmei to establish enough connections and causal relationships with this world, and it wants Ning Mingmei to have enough desire for this world. Ning Mingmei suddenly said, "System."

"?"

"During this period of time, when I had some free time, I also read many storybooks written by disciples of Qingji Sect. Many of these storybooks have such settings: the protagonist travels to another world and starts a new life. In these storybooks, the protagonist is often unable to fully devote himself to the new world. They do not regard their relatives in the other world as relatives, nor do they regard their careers in the other world as careers. They only want to do one thing - return to their original world, even if the other world is flooded. But, I found an interesting phenomenon." Ning Mingmei said, "Most disciples will set up such an opportunity in the text to let the protagonist completely accept this world. The protagonist will empathize with this world from the bottom of his heart, and even in the end, want to change this world."

"This opportunity is often - the protagonist falls deeply in love with someone. This is the most common and laziest method in these storybooks. Because of the love for him, he doesn't want him to fall into a tragic fate. Because of the love for him, he wants to change the world. Because of the love for him, he also regards himself as a part of another world. Because of the love for him, he wants to become a demon, or wants to become a god. System - you say, if a non-human creature wants to learn human emotions and use human emotions, using love as an opportunity to start, is it its first choice?"

A drop of sweat dripped from the system's head. It laughed and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Oh." Ning Mingmei said meaningfully, "I was just talking nonsense."

He stood in the corner with his hands folded, watching his disciples busily coming in and out. Lian Chengyue looked at Ning Mingmei from afar. He felt that at this moment, Ning Mingmei, with his eyes lowered, looked terribly cold and terribly upright.

Finally, Ning Mingmei heard the voice of the system in his ear: "Is this the real reason why you held that essay contest under the pretext of improving the independent enrollment policy?"

…

"Ning Xianzun, is it really okay for us to tear down the wall here?" Feng Yue said, "Aren't we going to record the map..."

Ning Mingmei said: "Now we are fighting against Fengshi Hou and Old Ghost King. It is like outsiders fighting against locals. No matter how well we know the map, it is not as clear as they know it themselves. So."

“We’re going to create maps.”

...As expected of Ning Mingmei, even his way of snatching things is so fresh and unconventional.

"Ning Xianzun!" Ning Mingmei heard his disciple say, "This garden is full of rare treasures. Let's take them all!"

"Don't take them all, leave some for later use... Are they all thousand-year-old spiritual herbs? Take them all and give him another scene to keep." Ning Mingmei pushed his glasses, "We still need some obstacles when we fight."

Thinking of this, he frowned again. Along the way, Ning Mingmei did not sense any information related to the Old Ghost King. The disciples sent out as scouts never found any trace of the old ghost king's existence.

Ning Mingmei has a detector in his hand. This detector can detect the ghost aura of the ghost clan - when the ghost clan is angry, a strong yin energy fluctuation will emanate from their bodies, which is very dangerous. Ning Mingmei therefore called it "Yin Wei Da".

Yin Wei Da did not detect the fluctuations of the old ghost king. In other words, the Old Ghost King was quite calm at the moment and had no intention of killing. This is completely different from the old ghost king who was completely crazy in the rumors. Moreover, Ning Mingmei believed that the old ghost king’s mood should definitely not be very calm at this moment. He lost Yun Simu's water harp a few months ago, and encountered Chang Feichang a few days ago. After some reasoning, Ning Mingmei believed that the only ghost in the ghost world who could severely injure Chang Feichang without anyone knowing was probably the old ghost king.

Therefore, it is logical to infer that Chang Feichang should have come to the Ghost King Palace to take away Yun Simu's token.

So there are only two questions.

Where is the old ghost king hiding? What are you doing?

Ning Mingmei sometimes snatched and sometimes released, and the whole palace became an intricate maze. With his entry, the layout of the Old Ghost Palace gradually became incomprehensible to all the old people - for example, Marquis Fengshi, who had lived in the Old Ghost Palace for hundreds of years.

"The last time I came here was a thousand years ago!" Feng Shihou sighed.

Wu Fang walked beside him, with a lot on his mind, but his face remained submissive. He glanced at the end of the team, where nine Qingji Sect disciples were tied up. At that moment, he remembered Lin Xue's words again.

"If Fengshihou succeeds, you may not be credited. If Fengshihou fails, do you think you can have a good ending as the one who kidnapped the Qingji Sect's disciples?"

"Jiang Duo is quite arrogant." Another deputy beside Feng Xiehou whispered, "He only follows people from the Demon Realm and looks so arrogant and indifferent. If you don't know, you would think that we in the Ghost Realm are begging him to do things for us!"

"That's all. It's just the youthful vigor." A hint of jealousy flashed through Feng Xie Hou's eyes. Even so, his tone was cheerful. "Jiang Duo is now in the Fusion Stage. Demon cultivators of the same level are always stronger than ordinary cultivators. There are not many people in the world who can match him. It's natural for such a person to be a little arrogant."

He coughed again: "What we need is for him to help us kill the old ghost king. After the old ghost king dies, I can also be promoted to the fusion stage. At that time, our ghost world will no longer have to be a supporting role in the six realms!"

It’s not “us”, but Fengshihou. Wu Fang thought. The fear of aging and death has seriously affected Feng Shihou's mind, causing him to make choices blindly and bet everything on one throw.

To conspire with Jiang Duo is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. Doesn’t Feng Shi Hou know this? No, he knows. But in his heart, his own future is always more important than the entire ghost world.

The Wufang cannot be considered a native ghost tribe. His core soul always comes from the son of a military advisor who died for his country in the human world hundreds of years ago. The military advisor and his family received the most orthodox education since childhood. The king is the king, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, the son is the son. When dealing with people, we should always be righteous and benevolent in everything we do.

Even though he had forgotten his identity as a human being, he always hoped that a wise ruler would emerge in the ghost world to rule over the four directions. This is the value that has been engraved in his bones since he was a child.

But now it is obvious that Marquis Fengshi is not a wise ruler.

Wu Fang held the spare flute tightly. At this moment, the scout in front said: "My Lord, there are changes in the old ghost palace. For example, the armored statue at the door..."

"What's changed..." As soon as Wu Fang looked up, he understood what had changed.

Many wall stones are stacked high and arranged in the shape of a human head... If the Ukrainian side knew modern knowledge, they would definitely understand that this thing is called the "Easter Stone Statue".

Several Easter statues stood there comically. Replaces the elaborate and expensive armor statue.

This is completely different from the map of the Old Ghost Palace!

Wu Fang looked at Feng Shi Hou with a questioning look. Fengshi Hou frowned, and then said: "Forget it, it must be the old ghost king who did it!"

"Indeed, nothing a madman does is strange!"

A group of people walked through the gate. At this moment, Fengshihou looked at the vast sky, and for a moment he felt as if he was in another world.

In a trance, he seemed to have returned to more than a thousand years ago. At that time, the Old Ghost King was full of vigor and vitality, and he was also his deputy whom the Old Ghost King valued very much. At that time, there were hundreds of schools of thought in the six realms, and he, following the old ghost king, truly believed that they could create a prosperous era for the ghost world.

The cultivation methods in the ghost world are sinister and evil. But at that time, he and the old ghost king both believed that the cultivation methods in the ghost world were not evil enough. Unlike the other five realms, since the ghost realm can absorb the souls of others for its own use, the ghost realm should regard the other five realms as its stepping stones and cultivation materials. The law of the jungle is just like this. Those mortals without power are destined to be used by them to refine magical instruments and to hold sacrifices.

By then, the ghost world will be the king above the six realms. The ghost world is a realm beyond life and death. It owns the River of Oblivion and the abandoned altar. It is also closer to the Abyss and the Heavenly Gate than the territories of other realms... With such strange conditions and such a rich historical background, why can't the ghost world, which is not afraid of life and death, be called the king of the world?

Until that woman appeared and changed everything.

The initial cause was that Marquis Fengshi discovered that the villagers in the human world were not easy to capture.

The ghost world likes to use humans as materials for cultivation. The immortals in the fairy world are the best materials. Unfortunately, they have some skills and are difficult to catch. Therefore, capturing humans in the human world who have no cultivation and no spiritual roots becomes a good choice. Anyway, the immortal world doesn’t care about the life and death of mortals, and the human court also turns a blind eye to the disappearance of mortals in border villages. Without the motivation of interests, they have no interest and no extra manpower to protect the villagers on the border.

In addition, capturing Lu Ding is also a good choice. Lu Ding only has spiritual roots, but no cultivation, and no possibility of cultivation. Even in the fairy world, they are regarded as commodities. The furnace and cauldron can be used in the immortal world, the demon world, and naturally the ghost world as well. The furnace and tripod are much more expensive than those of ordinary civilians. In the ghost world's market, it is often the case that one furnace tripod is used to tie up five unsaleable civilians.

All of the above has long become a tradition that makes ghosts happy. After making up his mind to accumulate strength, emerge as a rising star in the turbulent times and revive the ghost clan, Feng Shihou expanded the scale of capturing human civilians. These civilians without good spiritual roots were just as he imagined and were easy to capture. They are weak and incompetent, like pigs in a pigsty, ready to be slaughtered at any time. Some cowardly rulers in human towns even reached an agreement with the ghost world, whereby they would pay a fixed number of civilians as tribute to the ghost world every year in exchange for themselves and their families not being targeted by the ghosts.

But starting from one day, these people were no longer so easy to be caught. At the beginning, only a few weak ghosts were injured during the capture. Later, some seriously injured middle-level ghosts ran back to Fengdu, covering their wounds. They told Feng Shihou that the people had begun to practice immortal arts and were becoming stronger and stronger. Moreover, they spontaneously formed patrols to fight against any ghosts who dared to approach the village.

Tribute and peace cannot bring peace, only strength can bring peace. The ghosts began to get scared.

This is a change that has never happened before - in the past, no villager dared to resist, no villager dared to form a patrol, because they all knew that the first bird to stick its head out would be shot, and no one dared to be the first person to stand up among the kneeling crowd. Feng Shi Hou really didn't understand who gave them the power.

Moreover, he really didn't understand how those mortals who were like pigs and had no usable spiritual roots could possibly practice? Even if there was such a method, it would be time-consuming to write an improved method for these worthless people. Why doesn't a powerful person with such ability spend his time enriching himself, but instead do these useless things?

Until later, he learned about the existence of Spark Island... Until later, the old Ghost King not only fell in love with the woman he would never have loved before, but also ordered that no action should be taken against the human race again. He said two words to Feng Shi Hou that were unfamiliar to him: "Win-win."

The ghost world and the human world can win together. The six worlds share resources and power together. As long as they are distributed reasonably, people can get the life they want without war. The ghosts can travel freely to the human world, and the monsters can practice in the fairy world.

Fengshihou doesn't understand what "win-win" means. He only knew that he had always been the person in charge of capturing humans in the ghost world.

What is “win-win”? Feng Shi Hou didn't know who the winner was, but he knew that he had lost his job and the opportunity to continue focusing on his core business and become the Ghost King's most capable assistant.

Therefore, Feng Shihou knew that he had to do something. He must protect his own interests and those of his men. He longed to be superior to the immortal world, and accepted that he was on equal footing with the demon world - but those pigs in the human world wanted to have equal status and power with him? How is that possible? He absolutely won't accept it.

Soon, he discovered that he was not the only one who was looking forward to the failure of Spark Island.

Even later, he saw the same meaning in another person's eyes.

Even Weng Xingyun himself might not have thought that there would be someone who would have such an idea.

Fengshi Hou lowered his eyes slightly. Recalling this, he felt a little tired. Nowadays, Fengshi Hou doesn’t like to reminisce about the past. The events of the past were too far away, but the thousand years since he had separated from those people seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, reminding him all the time of the fact that he was old.

Ironically, when he was young, he viewed the ghosts as a superior race because they were "beyond life and death". But now, he began to fear death.

But the deputy asked at this time: "My Lord, I know very little about what happened a thousand years ago. I heard that the old Ghost King went crazy after the Ghost Queen died?"

Feng Shi Hou nodded slightly. But another of his men was still asking ignorantly: "Really? How did the ghost queen die?"

"I heard she jumped into the River Lethe..."

"Is it to forget the old ghost king?"

The ghosts have different opinions. Feng Xie Hou interrupted them and said, "What nonsense are you talking about."

That woman did die in the River Lethe. Feng Shihou understood this very well, but she entered the Wangchuan River not to find anyone, but to find her own memories - the memories washed away in the Wangchuan River would be gathered in the Wangchuan Ice Soul at the bottom of the Wangchuan River. Just touch it and you can remember it.

And before that, she had fallen into the River of Oblivion once—but not to forget anyone, but because of an accident during her escape.

But that accident made the old ghost king look very ugly. Feng Shihou has been living with the old ghost king for hundreds of years, but he has never seen the old ghost king show such an expression.

——The reason is that Yun Simu fell into the Forgotten River and forgot the most important thing. But what she forgot was not the old ghost king.

It was another woman.

"The map says that behind this door is the spiritual flower garden of the old Ghost King's palace. This spiritual flower garden is very vast, and it grows spiritual herbs that are thousands of years old. It is also the Ghost Queen's favorite spiritual place..." A ghost cultivator pushed open the door.

Then the ghosts: …

It's bare, but there are circles on the ground...what are they?

Crop circles.

The treasure house on the other side was empty, and bricks were piled up to form a pyramid.

On the other side, the magic weapon in the hands of the goddess statue was taken away, leaving only a matchstick held high.

There was also a palace that was demolished, leaving only the door, with the words "Triumph" written on it...

Ghost cultivators: ...

"Forget it, it must have been done by the old ghost king!"

"Nothing a madman does is strange!"

"The old ghost king has been left here alone for a thousand years. There are so many weird things he can do!"

"That's right! There are so many!"

Ukraine is still hesitating. Before making the final decision, he looked at his boss: "My Lord, I still feel that..."

Fengshihou: "...It seems that the old ghost king is really crazy, and he is still free. This old ghost king's palace is really full of strange things!"

Ukrainian: ...I didn’t want to tell you this!

From a distance, Chang Feichang and Mu Hanshan also arrived at the Ghost King Palace. They looked at the Stonehenge in front of them and fell into deep thought.

Mu Hanshan said: "This..."

Chang Feichang: "...This place was not like this when I left here before."

In such a depressing atmosphere, Chang rarely spoke such a long sentence, and showed a somewhat confused look. At this moment, Mu Hanshan also came to the same conclusion as Feng Shihou.

Mu Hanshan: "It seems that Fengshi Hou is really crazy now."

Chang nodded: "I think so too."

"You, still want to go in?" Mu Hanshan suddenly asked.

At the same time, Old Eleven, who was deep in the palace holding the color card, heard a sneeze with fear.
