"Ghost?" Li Deyang frowned and asked in disbelief, "How can there be a ghost?"

Baili Pangpang was wearing a monocle, his lips were trembling, and he pointed his finger around:

"There's a female ghost poking her head out from the tree over there, also looking at us...

And, Uncle Li...Uncle Li...on your back...there is a little boy without eyes..."

Li Deyang's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he slapped his shoulders violently, trying to brush off the dirt.

"Is there anything else?" Li Deyang asked anxiously.

"He... climbed on top of you... he's pulling your hair!!"

"…"

Li Deyang widened his eyes and began to rub his hair desperately. Strands of black hair turned into silver-white hair and fell from his head. In an instant, the amount of hair decreased sharply!

Cao Yuan frowned, snatched the Buddhist beads from Baili Pangpang's hand, and started muttering to Li Deyang.

Li Deyang only felt that the top of his head became lighter, and his whole body felt incomparably relaxed. His hair finally stopped falling, but there were already a few strands of silver among his black hair.

Seeing this, Cao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, he saw Baili Pangpang staring at him.

"You are so good, Cao, and you still say you are not a monk!"

Cao Yuan: ...

"I just recited a passage that Master Jinchan taught me." Cao Yuan shrugged. "Before, when I couldn't control the Black King in my body, I relied on this passage to calm my mind."

"Didn't you say that ghosts generally don't get close to living people?" An Qingyu asked doubtfully.

Cao Yuan was startled, and spoke hesitantly, "Generally speaking, it shouldn't be the case... Could it be that the yin energy here is too strong, so these ghosts are out of control?"

Baili Pangpang patted his shoulder and said, "Lao Cao, your skills are still not good enough!"

"..." Cao Yuan rolled his eyes, "You can see ghosts. What happened when I was chanting just now?"

Baili Pangpang thought for a moment and said, "When you were holding the Buddhist beads and chanting just now, the little ghost lying on Uncle Li's body began to glow with golden light, and then its body began to become transparent, and finally disappeared..."

Cao Yuan lowered his head, as if thinking about something.

At this moment, Baili Pangpang's face changed slightly and he silently took half a step back.

"But, there is bad news..."

"What?"

"After you finished reciting the sutra, the two ghosts who were watching just now... came to you."

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he felt the temperature around him dropping rapidly. A biting cold began to erode his body. His face changed slightly, and he held the Buddhist beads and began to chant again.

When the cold aura completely disappeared, Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling a little dry in the mouth.

"Is that all?" Cao Yuan licked his lips and said.

Baili Pangpang's expression became even weirder. "Well... those two are gone, but there seem to be a dozen ghosts rushing towards us on the street over there..."

Cao Yuan's face turned pale, and he felt a chill on the back of his neck. He suddenly said, "Run!"

Without saying a word, the four of them turned around and rushed in the opposite direction of the ghosts!

While running, Li Deyang asked in confusion: "Why should we run? Can't you chant sutras to kill them?"

"It's not about reciting the name of death, it's about transcending the dead!" Cao Yuan said helplessly, "That passage of scripture should be able to use one's own practice to transform the wandering souls remaining in the world and send them to the Pure Land of Bliss. For those wandering ghosts, it is the best destination in their dreams..."

"Isn't that a good thing?" An Qingyu asked doubtfully.

"But I don't have such a deep cultivation, not to mention that I still have a lot of killing sins on my body. If I continue to save them like this, I will probably be burned to death by the fire of karma!" Cao Yuan sighed, "If my master was here, with his cultivation level, it would only take a flick of his finger to save them..."

"So that's why." Baili Pangpang couldn't help but say, "Lao Cao, your skills are not good enough!"

Cao Yuan: ...

"Is there any other way to kill them?" An Qingyu asked with a frown.

"Ghosts are invisible and intangible. In essence, they are just a special magnetic field. Except for the evil flame of my [Black King Slash], your attacks are ineffective against them. But if I liberate the Black King here and Lin Qiye is not here... can you hold me down?" Cao Yuan looked back.

Baili Pangpang hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's run away!"

"agree!"

"…"

…

"Fengdu? The legendary underworld?" Lin Qiye looked at these two words with surprise in his eyes.

As a native of Da Xia, Lin Qiye had naturally heard a lot of rumors about the underworld. The King of Hell’s Palace, the Naihe Bridge, the Mengpo Soup, the Yellow Spring Water… all originated from the legendary ghost town, Fengdu.

He didn't expect that after passing through the huge bronze door, the famous Fengdu was behind the door?

But here... it's so different from what he imagined.

Where is the Naihe Bridge? Where is the Yellow Spring Water? Where is the Hades Palace? Even if there were none of these, this place shouldn't be such a dilapidated and desolate scene, right?

The legendary Fengdu is the ghost country in the north. It is a huge country with mountains 2,600 miles high and 30,000 miles around. It also has palaces for ghosts and gods. No matter how you look at this place... it's just a dilapidated town.

Thinking of this, Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask:

"Is this how it is here?"

Soon, a paragraph was written quickly on the paper money.

——Not really. A long time ago, Fengdu was a kingdom of death that belonged exclusively to the ghost world. It was extremely large in scope. But from one day on, the ghosts and gods suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the Emperor of Fengdu was nowhere to be seen either. Fortunately, Fengdu's law of death could run automatically without the supervision of gods, so there was no problem at that time.

After a long time, four gods with strange looks suddenly broke into Fengdu and broke the entire Fengdu into five pieces. After each of them took a piece, only the smallest piece was left, which is here.

When Lin Qiye heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

Fengdu Emperor is the legendary Lord of the underworld, the supreme god of the underworld of Taoism, and a being that can go head-to-head with the legendary Jade Emperor...

From what he knew now, Lin Qiye could roughly guess what happened at that time.

A hundred years ago, the gods of Daxia disappeared for no reason, and as gods, the Emperor of Fengdu and many ghosts and gods naturally disappeared as well. Fengdu, which lost its gods, was invaded by several foreign gods, who forcibly took away several of the largest fragments of Fengdu.

Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask, "Who are those four gods who snatched the Fengdu fragments?"

The next moment, a line of small black characters slowly appeared on the paper:

——The four outer gods called themselves "Osiris", "Hades", "Yama" and... "Satan".
