"My king was... you, you are talking nonsense! How could my king come to the mortal world?" Shi Xin said in shock. It
is not only very difficult for the ghosts to come to the human world, but also their own strength will be suppressed by the human world if they rashly enter the human world. The ghost energy will cause fluctuations in spiritual energy. The stronger the ghost, the more difficult it is to hide. Otherwise, there would be no need for the yang body ghost messenger to travel back and forth between the two worlds.
It is not surprising that a powerful ghost like the Heavenly Ghost King would attract the vigilance and even siege of Shushan when entering the human world .
"Who are you? Why are you telling such a lie?" Shi Xin said angrily.
"Oh? You should know who I am, right?" Guan Liyuan said, releasing a little bit of the semi-immortal aura.
After reaching the state of unity between heaven and man, it is increasingly difficult for outsiders with insufficient cultivation to see Guan Liyuan's background...
As for why Guan Liyuan thought Shi Xin recognized him?
When the half-immortal auspicious sign appeared before, Shi Xin was also in the human world, and he must have heard his voice. Although this pottery jar has the function of a "ghost pocket", it can not only store items, but also people and ghosts, but it can definitely not block the half-immortal auspicious sign!
Guan Liyuan gave a little "reminder", and the other party immediately recognized Guan Liyuan's voice.
"Ah! Are you... Yichen half-immortal? I am Shi Xin, a slacker, and I don't know the immortal's face. I hope the immortal will forgive me..." Shi Xin immediately became timid.
Originally, Shi Xin only saw that Jingtian was a cultivator, but before Jingtian passed the tribulation again on the immortal platform of Luoluo Mountain, he was "only" the ninth heaven of Gangfeng. Although the speed of promotion was extremely fast, Shi Xin, as a "civil servant" in the ghost world, even if it was not a regular organization, still had a sense of superiority over cultivators of this level.
But when it came to half-immortals, he couldn't be arrogant!
"My king... is it... because of me?" Shi Xin suddenly realized something.
"Well? Aren't ghosts not precious? There are also many yang-body ghosts under the command of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor..." Guan Liyuan said.
The ghost list is just a copy of the Book of Life and Death, and the ghost list issued to the ghost messenger only has a few names that need to be summoned. For the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, it just consumes some mana. As for Shi Xin himself... Although it requires harsh conditions to become a yang body ghost messenger, it is impossible for the Heavenly Ghost Emperor to enter the mortal world in person for Shi Xin.
For Shi Xin's unfinished soul-snatching task?
The possibility is even smaller!
Ghosts staying in the human world, or mortals and beasts living beyond their age due to some "accidents", will indeed lead to "serious" consequences, but it refers to when such incidents occur in large numbers... Only one or two cases, there is no consequence at all. Moreover,
even if Shi Xin did not return on time, wouldn't it be fine to send other ghost messengers to the human world? How could a marshal go to the "enemy country" to look for a soldier who was lost?
Guan Liyuan felt that Shi Xin was a little too self-righteous...
But seeing Shi Xin beating his chest and stamping his feet, Guan Liyuan was embarrassed to say this for a while.
"How ridiculous! I'll go to Shushan right now... and ask them to release the king!" Shi Xin said excitedly.
"Haha, even the Heavenly Ghost Emperor was treated as a demon and thrown into the Demon Locking Tower. Do you think you have enough face?" Guan Liyuan curled his lips.
"The king is the prince of the ghost world and has made great contributions to protecting the reincarnation. Why do they..."
"I guess in the eyes of the Shushan disciples, except for the lineage of Yama Palace, other ghosts are equal to demons." Guan Liyuan said.
With the strength of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, even if he is suppressed in the human world, it is bound to attract the vigilance of Shushan. In addition, the Heavenly Ghost Emperor himself has a bad temper. If the communication is not good, it is normal for Shushan to take action...
"The Demon Locking Tower has no function to release anything from it, not to mention... do you still expect the disciples of Shushan to admit that their ancestors have captured him as a 'demon'?" Guan Liyuan asked back.
At this point, Guan Liyuan was thinking of Qingleng - until now, the five elders of Shushan have been pretending to be stupid, just because they don't want Shushan and their master to be "humiliated".
"Then, what should we do?" Shi Xin asked at a loss.
"There is nothing we can do. Not long ago, there was an accident in the Demon Locking Tower, but the Heavenly Demon Emperor obviously failed to seize the opportunity... Unless the Demon Locking Tower collapses again." Guan Liyuan rolled his eyes.
"Then we will go quickly!" Shi Xin said with cheer.
"Huh? Why should I help you destroy the Demon Locking Tower? I still want to repair the Demon Locking Tower now, okay?" Guan Liyuan looked at him like an idiot.
"This... If the king escapes, he will definitely not treat you badly! And... you have a grudge against Shushan, right?" Shi Xin said hurriedly.
Although Shi Xin did not know Guan Liyuan, but... from his "half-immortal auspicious sign", it can be seen that Guan Liyuan's relationship with Shushan is "very subtle".
"It's true that Shushan and I have had conflicts, but the Demon Locking Tower was built by the God Realm to connect the inner and outer Shushan. The Five Spirits Array at the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower is connected to the inner Shushan demon world. If the Demon Locking Tower collapses completely now, the inner Shushan will be completely connected to the human world... This is not Shushan's business alone. Even if someone else wants to destroy the Demon Locking Tower now, I will not stand idly by!" Guan Liyuan said righteously.
By the way, he added in his heart: the premise is that "other people" are not big guys like Chonglou, otherwise let Shushan and the God Realm solve it themselves!
"Then, what should we do?" Shi Xin said impatiently.
"You don't have to be too anxious... This time the Demon Locking Tower has something wrong, and I think the God Realm will realize that this thing is unreliable. When the God Realm changes the formation of the Demon Locking Tower, the Demon Locking Tower will collapse." Guan Liyuan persuaded.
This is not entirely Guan Liyuan's speculation. In the Legend of Sword and Fairy III and Legend of Sword and Fairy III, the Locking Demon Tower also has the function of connecting to the inner Shu Mountain - that is, if the demons can reach the bottom of the tower, they have the opportunity to enter the demon world of the inner Shu Mountain. However, in the Legend of
Sword and Fairy III, because Chang Hao contacted the ancestor of the God Realm, the Locking Demon Tower was "redesigned" once. In the Legend of Sword and Fairy I, that is, fifty or sixty years after "now", when Li Xiaoyao broke the Locking Demon Tower, the inner Shu Mountain and the human world were not completely connected. At that time, the core formation of the Locking Demon Tower became the "Seven Stars Coiled Dragon Formation", which was the new formation replaced when the God Realm repaired the Locking Demon Tower in the Legend of Sword
and Fairy III... Therefore, Guan Liyuan speculated that it was in the Legend of Sword and Fairy III that the "Seven Stars Coiled Dragon Formation" that was rebuilt after the chaos of the ground veins between the inner Shu Mountain and the outer Shu Mountain, and it no longer had the function of connecting to the inner Shu Mountain!
However, the complete collapse of the Demon Locking Tower at that time triggered changes in the water veins of the Demon Realm, and created some connections with the Six Realms Passage - the Well of Gods and Demons.
Guan Liyuan didn't know what caused the changes at this time. "God Realm? With their efficiency, I don't know how long it will take them to react!" Shi Xin seemed to be very familiar with the efficiency of the God Realm.
This was indeed the case...
"We've been waiting for four hundred years, and we're still waiting for the last few decades?"
Decades... Guan Liyuan's "guidance" made Shi Xin even more upset.
Shi Xin finally calmed down and asked: "Sir, if the Demon Locking Tower is no longer related to the human world in the future, can you save my king?"
"This..." Guan Liyuan didn't dare to promise easily.
After all, the Demon Locking Tower is very big, far more than it looks from the outside. For example, in the era of Xian San and Xian San Gaiden, the protagonists entered the Demon Locking Tower twice, but they didn't encounter the Heavenly Ghost Emperor. It was not until
the era of Xian Jian I that Li Xiaoyao entered the tower and encountered the Heavenly Ghost Emperor trapped in the "Demon Absorbing Altar"...
"I am willing... willing... to repay you with a favor!" Shi Xin probably didn't think of what Guan Liyuan needed from him.
"Well? By the way, I want to go to the ghost world. Do you have any way to keep me from being discovered?" Guan Liyuan thought of the Fire Spirit Pearl at this time.
According to the information in the original work, the Fire Spirit Pearl should be in the ghost world at this time, and is in the hands of the "Fire Ghost King". Therefore, it has also caused the area under the jurisdiction of the "Fire Ghost King" to have abnormal climate in recent years...
Although in the original work, Jingtian and his party directly entered the ghost world from Yingdu, the closest place to the human world and the ghost world, and rescued Xuejian's soul, but... Guan Liyuan didn't want to use such a "fierce" tactic!
The ghosts entering the human world will attract the expedition of Shushan, and the human race entering the ghost world will also become rotten meat in the fly swarm...
In the original work, Jingtian's strength was not strong at that time, so he would not attract too much attention. At most, the little ghosts who happened to meet would come up to fight.
Guan Liyuan is now a four-tribulation half-immortal. Once he enters the ghost world, his conspicuousness may be about the same as that of the Heavenly Ghost King who entered the human world!
"The immortal wants to go to the ghost world? This... is good! As long as the immortal agrees to rescue my king within ten years, even if the runner... I will help you get a pair of ghost runner tokens!" Shi Xin gritted his teeth and said.
"Ten years? I can't say for sure, but maybe within thirty years..." Guan Liyuan was obviously worried that he might not be able to find the Heavenly Ghost Emperor.
If it took thirty years, the Demon Locking Tower would have been "transformed" long ago, and by then it would just be a prison, so even if it collapsed, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Okay! Immortal... can you give me a personal ornament?" Shi Xin seemed to have made a great decision.
"Personal ornament? Well... will this work?" Guan Liyuan obviously didn't have any personal ornaments, so he pulled out a section of his finger bone and gave it to Shi Xin.
Jingtian:...
"Okay." Shi Xin was not surprised. After all, he had been a human for only a few decades, but a ghost for hundreds of years, so he had long been accustomed to this kind of scene.
As soon as Shi Xin took over Guan Liyuan's finger bone, his figure gradually faded, and was replaced by rolling ghost energy that surged into Guan Liyuan's finger bone!
Guan Liyuan was shocked when he saw this, and asked hurriedly: "What are you doing?"
"The little runner will inject the yin soul and yang spirit unique to the yang body ghost runner into the finger bones of the immortal. After that, as long as the immortal stimulates the ghost energy in the finger bones, ordinary ghosts will only regard the immortal as a yang body ghost runner..." Shi Xin's voice gradually became smaller.
"Wait...what will you do?" Guan Liyuan said anxiously.
"The little runner has no face to see my king, so he has lived in the world for hundreds of years. What he wants every day...is to die like today...in return..." Shi Xin's voice gradually disappeared.
Before Guan Liyuan could stop him, Shi Xin had completely disappeared, leaving only a finger bone with a ghostly aura!
"Brother Guan, is he really dead?" Jingtian said uncomfortably.
Although Jingtian had been expecting this guy to disappear from "his own pottery jar" quickly, but...he didn't want it to be this kind of disappearance.
After losing the ghost, Shi Xin did not dare to return to the ghost world to face his faults, which indeed seemed to be a lack of responsibility. However, after he knew that the Heavenly Ghost Emperor was trapped in the Demon Locking Tower, he was willing to bet his life on Guan Liyuan's ability to rescue the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, which showed his impulse of "a man will die for his friend"... It
also indirectly proved that Shi Xin did not return to the ghost world, not because he was worried about punishment, but because he was really "ashamed to face"!
"I can still feel the breath of the soul, but it has been transformed into another form... After finding the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, maybe the Heavenly Ghost Emperor will have a way." Guan Liyuan said after looking at his finger bones.
After stuffing the finger bones back, Guan Liyuan found that he could also control the pottery jar with the magical power of "ghost pocket" and let himself and Jingtian out.
"Brother Guan, what are you going to do in the ghost world? That kind of place... must be very dangerous, right?" Jingtian asked after coming out.
"It shouldn't be dangerous, the ghost world... By the way, Long Kui knows what the situation is?" Guan Liyuan said and looked at Jingtian's magic sword.
As soon as he finished speaking, Red Dragon Kui appeared and said, "I have never been to the ghost world, so I don't know the specific situation. But when I was in the Demon Locking Tower, some of the wronged souls and evil ghosts that were captured accidentally came back to life. They worshipped me as their king, and I also heard about some things in the ghost world from them."
It seems... when in the Demon Locking Tower, Red Dragon Kui was still a "big shot"? It is said that the disciples of Shushan are too unreliable. There are more than just the Heavenly Ghost King in the Demon Locking Tower? Garbage should also be sorted and disposed of, okay!
However, Red Dragon Kui knows a little about the top few floors of the Demon Locking Tower, but Long Kui only knows about the ghost world by hearsay!
When in the Demon Locking Tower, the magic sword was inserted into the top floor of the Demon Locking Tower-that is, the ninth floor.
According to Red Dragon Kui, Blue Dragon Kui was in the Demon Locking Tower, and because of excessive fear, she gave birth to another almost independent consciousness, that is, "Red Dragon Kui" in self-protection. After that, she was able to transform soon, but she was still restricted by the magic sword and could not leave the top floor too far...
Dragon Kui's current state is between ghosts and ghosts, closer to ghosts, but because she has never entered the ghost world, she does not have a ghost body.
The ghosts themselves are not as big as the demons due to the influence of the demon water, and Red Dragon Kui is the consciousness split from Blue Dragon Kui, which is more like a ghost...
Therefore, it is not restricted by the demon water, and there are no powerful monsters in the first few floors of the Demon Locking Tower. Dragon Kui has become a little ghost king in the tower!
"Are you tired of living? Why don't you just cut your neck? Why do you have to go to the ghost world?" Red Dragon Kui asked.
"Little Kui..." Jingtian dissuaded her. Red Dragon Kui always speaks like this, as if she had taken gunpowder-after all, it is a personality split from Long Kui's "fighting desire".
But... Can Jingtian dissuade Red Dragon Kui now? Is this considered sister control?
"The Fire Spirit Pearl is probably in the ghost world. I must go there. With my current cultivation level, I will never enter the ghost world after death. Otherwise, I can really give it a try... In this case, before the Immortal Feast, I will go to the ghost world to check out the situation. When the people from Shushan come, we will find a way to enter the Demon Locking Tower." Guan Liyuan said.
"The Demon Locking Tower... sounds more dangerous than the ghost world." Jingtian said helplessly.
"Just to save that Heavenly Ghost Emperor?" Hong Longkui frowned, she obviously didn't like the place either.
"No, mainly because Jingtian's sword from his previous life is also there." Guan Liyuan saw Jingtian raise his magic sword with a probing look, Guan Liyuan added: "I mean the previous life of the previous life."
"Huh? Then it's not necessary, right? I feel like this sword is very handy now." Jingtian said.
"Mainly, that sword should be able to restrain the Evil Sword Immortal, so it's better to get it first... By the way, you can also look for the Heavenly Ghost Emperor. When you go to the ghost world to find the Fire Spirit Pearl, you may need his help."
