Chapter 154 I am already a dead ghost!
After drinking the tea on the table, Jiang Jiu felt dizzy. She didn't think anyone in the Seven Stars Temple would poison her, but now this symptom...
Jiang Jiu was thinking, but before she could take out the antidote, she felt dizzy the next second, and fell to the ground without any warning, her consciousness becoming blurred.
Jiang Jiu seemed to see Chi Li pushing open the door and rushing in, and then everything in front of him fell into darkness.
I could faintly hear Chi Li's angry roar and another person's voice...it seemed to be Zhenxing.
A second before losing consciousness, Jiang Jiu even wanted to get up and pat his shoulder to comfort him in a daze.
Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Don't take it out on your subordinates.
Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do.
...
When he opened his eyes again, Jiang Jiu stared at the Styx in front of him with a dull look, feeling extremely subtle.
"So...what about the promised goddess sacrifice? She was killed by poisoning?"
Ginger wine makes you question life.
Her death was too worthless. Even if she traveled through time, would she still go to hell after her death?
"Master, you are not dead, your soul is just separated from your body."
No one knew what kind of existence Xiao Lingying was. It actually followed Jiang Jiu's soul out. It noticed Jiang Jiu's autistic mood and started to comfort him.
"... Doesn't that mean death?"
Jiang Jiu was speechless.
"No, your body is still alive and well protected."
Xiao Lingying explained calmly.
Jiang Jiu watched the water of the Styx flowing quietly. The surrounding environment was eerie and terrifying, with broken branches and ashes everywhere. The gray sky was gloomy as if there was no sun or moon. Occasionally, a faint green light could be seen flashing in the distance.
"Am I not in the underworld now?"
Jiang Jiu pointed around with a sad look on his face and began to cry to Xiao Lingying.
"Master, is there a possibility that you are in the ghost realm now?"
Xiao Lingying simply flew out of Jiang Jiu's soul with a helpless tone.
Hearing this, Jiang Jiu's expression instantly returned to normal, and he was calm, unlike the person who just thought he was dead.
"...Oh, so this is Yu Zimo's hometown?"
Jiang Jiu looked up into the distance. It was desolate and barren, empty and depressing with no human presence. This was the place where Yu Zimo had suffered so much after becoming a fierce ghost and struggled to climb to the position of the lord of the ghost realm.
"If you mean the Lord of the Ghost Realm, yes."
Little Lingying shook her head up and down, like a person nodding.
"Hmm...but he shouldn't be in the ghost realm now. He's probably busy helping Ji Chen deal with the extraterritorial demons."
Jiang Jiu fell into deep thought, wondering what she should do now.
"Come to think of it, don't you think it's a little eerie how quiet it is here? Even if it's a ghost town, there shouldn't be a single ghost, right?"
She had felt something was wrong from the beginning. According to Yu Zimo himself, the ghost realm was usually overrun with ghosts, and he needed to take action to suppress them occasionally.
But from the time she entered the ghost realm until now, she hasn't seen even a ghost.
"Something is wrong indeed. I can sense traces of many souls remaining here. This must be where many ghosts have been."
Xiao Lingying echoed.
"?"
Ginger wine has a sinister feeling.
"So, could this be the territory of some top-level evil spirit, and I accidentally broke in?!"
When Jiang Jiu thought of this possibility, her hair stood on end, even though she was a ghost now and had no hair.
"No, there's no strong ghost smell here. The only living ghost is you, Master. Please don't scare yourself."
Little Lingying was helpless and really wanted to know what the hell was going on in her master's mind every day.
"I'm already a dead ghost!"
Ginger wine is very convincing.
“…”
Xiao Lingying was speechless for a moment and could only remain silent.
"Forget it, I have to find a way to get back."
Jiang Jiu's nervousness was only for a short while. After a while, she sighed and became serious.
"I suggest that the master do not act rashly. You are now a living soul, and your ghost energy is insufficient. The fierce ghosts and evil spirits will regard you as a tonic."
"You are not a ghost cultivator, so you can't exert much power against ghosts. This place is relatively safe."
Xiao Lingying kindly reminded.
"Living soul?"
Jiang Jiu was puzzled.
"Your soul is still connected to your body. It's not completely dead yet. It has a chance to return to your body. It's called a living soul."
Xiao Lingying diligently told Jiang Jiu the common knowledge about the ghost realm.
"So what do we do now?"
Jiang Jiu retracted the step he was about to take, stood still and listened to advice.
"have no idea."
Xiao Lingying shook left and right twice, indicating that she didn't know.
"Um....."
Very good, she said it but didn't finish it, only said half of it, and now she is unable to move.
Jiang Jiu was scared and wanted to cry.
"By the way, where are my inner demons?"
Jiang Jiu suddenly realized that the inner demon that teleported to her side at that moment seemed to have disappeared.
"...There is a possibility that she is now inside the master's body."
Xiao Lingying hesitated for a moment, but still told Jiang Jiu the possibility.
“???”
Hearing this, Jiang Jiu jumped three feet high from the ground. Especially since she was a ghost and had no weight, she floated into the sky with a little effort.
But these are not what Jiang Jiu cares about most.
She is not here now, and the inner demon has entered her body. Wouldn't the inner demon turn into a wild horse that has broken free from its reins? Wouldn't Chi Li and the others be killed before she returns?
No, she would slaughter everyone in the Nine Heavens! Kill them all, and let the blood flow like a river!
Jiang Jiu immediately turned into an ant on the hot pan, running around in a panic.
Seeing its master's increasingly terrified expression, Xiao Lingying hurried to find a way out.
"Master, don't panic! You have a demon-sealing formation on you. Even if the inner demon controls your body, its strength will only be about the same as yours. Not to mention whether it will go on a killing spree, it can't defeat the immortals in the Ninth Heaven for the time being."
"We can't even defeat the gods. Master, please don't worry. The most important thing is to find a way to get back."
Xiao Lingying's series of explanations barely calmed Jiang Jiu down.
right.
That's right.
There was no point in getting anxious now. She couldn't stop her inner demon from doing anything at such a long distance.
"I see. Now let's determine which direction we are in."
Jiang Jiu closed her eyes and began to recall the plots and introductions about the ghost realm when she was playing the game. Although she had never been to the ghost realm in person, there were many contents about the ghost realm in the plot, and there must be some parts that could be used.
"Master, from this position you can see the core area of the Ghost Domain, where the Lord of the Ghost Domain usually resides. The four great ghost generals are all inside."
Xiao Lingying has an excellent sense of direction and determined the direction almost instantly.
"Okay, let's go there."
She didn't care if there were other ghosts, she had to act now.
Jiang Jiu knew that Yu Zimo was not there at the moment, so it was impossible to ask him for help.
But there is a teleportation array connecting to the world of cultivation, and she can use the teleportation array to leave the ghost realm.
