Chapter 364: Overrun with Ghosts
In the cemetery, a graceful figure in white stood on the tombstone and gave an impassioned speech.
"My fellow countrymen, we can no longer live in such a muddle. The yang energy in the human world is too terrible for us. We should unite and seek help from the strong in this world."
"We know nothing about this world, how can we ask for help?"
"The strong cannot be trusted. Although I lost my memory after taking Meng Po soup, I still vaguely remember that I was killed by an unreasonable strong man in my previous life."
"Even the powerful underworld doesn't care about us, so who else can? Are you trying to say that this world is more powerful than the underworld?"
A few ghosts started to quarrel, but more ghosts were in a daze and let their companions quarrel.
Those insane ghosts float around at will, passing through tombstones, through big trees, and through abandoned houses. They are out of tune with this world. Nothing can stop them, and they can't use anything.
Suddenly, the ghosts sensed a strong yang energy not far away and fled in fear.
They are ghosts, with extremely yin bodies. Yang energy is their nemesis. A little yang energy cannot harm them, but if they come into contact with excessive yang energy, it is very likely that yin and yang will be neutralized and they will dissipate into the world.
Normally this situation should not occur, but two of the three men were obviously very skilled in cultivation and carried yang energy that could threaten them.
Especially the man in the middle, if he gets any closer he would be in danger of being dissolved by the yang energy.
That man is a ghost buster.
Only those ghosts who have become immortals are not afraid of yang energy, while they are just a group of ordinary ghosts waiting to be reincarnated.
"It's her!" Seeing the beautiful figure in white standing on the tombstone, Du Ping recalled his experience last night.
Ji Kongkong and Du Ping attacked at the same time, but Ji Kongkong's attack was consistent with the description in the report and he was unable to hit the ghost.
Du Ping used his magical hand to capture the beautiful figure in white, but he found that he could not touch anything. There was no sense of reality, like a piece of air. The beautiful figure in white was not captured by his magical power, but something else.
Du Ping just maintained a loose grip.
The beautiful figure in white began to emit white steam and wailed in pain.
Jiang Li quickly asked Du Ping to let go.
"Your Yang energy is too strong. You need to restrain it a little." Jiang Li remembered what Immortal Changcun and Buddha Xumi had said. He knew that ghosts were afraid of the Yang energy carried by living people.
It was the heavy yang energy that Du Ping carried that made the beautiful figure in white unable to move.
Ji Kongkong’s cultivation level was probably not high enough and his yang energy was too weak to threaten the ghost.
Before, only cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage had encountered ghosts, and they were helpless against them. Jiang Li guessed that only the yang energy carried by cultivators in the Fusion Stage could pose a threat to ghosts.
"Yang energy?" Du Ping and Ji Kongkong looked at each other, neither knowing how to control it.
Jiang Li had studied the soul and knew how to control yang energy, so he taught the method to the two.
While the two were studying, the ghosts tried to escape. Jiang Li snapped his fingers, separated some of his Yang energy, and surrounded the cemetery, so that not a single ghost could escape.
The two quickly learned how to control their Yang energy.
The ghosts wanted to disappear out of thin air like before, but Jiang Li could still find them with his spiritual sense.
They are just invisible, not gone.
The ghosts discovered that after they hid their bodies, they were still surrounded by Jiang Li's yang energy and could not leave, so they could only sigh and reappear.
"Everyone, it's a rare opportunity to come to the world of the living, why are you in such a hurry to go back to the underworld?" Jiang Li stepped forward and cleverly narrowed the range of the yang energy, trapping the ghosts in a small circle centered on the figure in white.
"What do you mean by going back to the underworld? We want to go back, but there's no way." A ghost muttered.
"I seem to have an impression of you." The beautiful figure in white looked at Jiang Li hesitantly, and her mind kept recalling things from her past life.
She vaguely remembered that when she was alive, she placed a statue of this man in her home, which she regarded as a belief and worshipped day and night.
Only then did Du Ping realize that the beautiful figure in white looked very young, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked very pitiful.
She stood on a tombstone engraved with "Qi Gufang, daughter of Qi Ming".
There are many people in Jiuzhou who take their mother's surname, mostly because the woman's cultivation is higher than the man's.
"Do you know me? My name is Jiang Li, and I am the Human Emperor of the Jiuzhou World."
The beautiful figure in white shook her head regretfully: "I'm sorry, I crossed the Naihe Bridge and drank Mengpo soup. I only have vague memories of my life and can't remember who you are."
The beautiful figure in white pointed at the confused and slurred ghosts and said, "These are the ghosts who have crossed the Naihe Bridge and drank Mengpo soup. They have no memory of their past lives."
"Perhaps it's because of my cultivation in my previous life that I can still remember a little bit, but only a little bit."
The figure in white pointed at the still active ghosts and said, "They must have had some cultivation in their past lives."

"Xiaofang, how could you tell him everything about us? We obviously know nothing about him." One ghost was unhappy when he saw the beautiful figure in white was about to tell everything.
He remembered that he was stabbed in the back and died because he trusted people too much. As a result, he became wary of everything and felt that someone was trying to harm him.
"What do you mean by knowing nothing? Didn't he introduce himself? His name is Jiang Li, and he is the Human Emperor of the Jiuzhou World."
The beautiful figure in white had an inexplicable trust in Jiang Li and felt that he was a good person.
"Your name is Xiaofang?" Ji Kongkong asked curiously, as if he had just heard this name.
"It's just random."
"oh."
"How did you come to the world of the living? Is there something wrong with the underworld?"
"Yes, the underworld is now overrun with ghosts. There is no place without ghosts."
"What?" Jiang Li was surprised by this answer.
"All of us ghosts have been dead for more than fifty years. I am the youngest, having only been dead for fifty years. I have never been reincarnated and am still waiting in line."
"But didn't you cross the Naihe Bridge and drink Mengpo soup?" In Ji Kongkong's impression, crossing the Naihe Bridge means washing away the past, and the cause and effect between this body and the past are severed and there is no connection anymore. After drinking Mengpo soup, one will forget everything about the previous life.
After completing these two procedures, it is time to be reincarnated.
If you are still queuing, why cross the Naihe Bridge so early and drink Mengpo soup?
"Originally, the underworld had this rule, but the underworld changed the rules thousands of years ago."
"I heard that there are too many dead people and animals in the universe, and the number of ghosts in the underworld has increased dramatically, while the number of living people in the universe has dropped sharply, and the number of newborns has also decreased."
"Reincarnation into the animal realm is not a big deal. Currently, the number of wild beasts in the universe is still considerable. But the human realm is not a good place. There is no place for them."
"After we ghosts have settled our sins, we will be reincarnated as humans according to the rules."
"But now there is no place for us in the world of the living, so the underworld has no choice but to let us wait for an opportunity."
"There are more and more ghosts reincarnated as humans, and people's hearts are becoming more and more chaotic. The underworld is gradually unable to take care of us. They simply let us cross the Naihe Bridge first, drink Mengpo soup, and forget our past lives. Then they can take care of us."
