"All ghosts don't know their past lives, they only know they're ghosts when they wake up..."
Shen Wuyou's brows twitched, and he asked the same question to everyone again. The group of people looked at each other, seemingly not knowing clearly what was going on.
Bai Yumo summarized what others had said and knew, and then said: "In this world, the six realms of gods, immortals, humans, demons, ghosts, and monsters coexist. Ghosts are originally the souls of all living beings after their death, except for the gods and immortals. They should return to the underworld and fall into the underworld.
"The underworld is yin, and the human world is yang, so they can't communicate with each other. That's why in the past, the ghost world was called the underworld. That was a name used thousands of years ago. Later, for unknown reasons, a large number of evil spirits from the underworld escaped and wreaked havoc on the world. The ruler of the underworld is bound by the rules of heaven and cannot enter the human world, so he can only deal with ghosts that have not entered the human world.
"And these ghosts who have already entered the mortal world and are stranded here are left unattended, causing serious consequences. Therefore, they are either eliminated by various immortal sects, their souls scattered; or they are secretly hidden in uninhabited places and continue to live in the world."
"Later, I heard that a man who specialized in refining ghosts appeared in the world. He called himself the Ghost King and called on all ghosts to join him and serve him. He established the Ghost King Palace in the Luoyan Mountains, which has continued to this day.
"After that, people gradually forgot about the underworld and no longer mentioned it. They only knew that a ghost king had appeared in this world and established a ghost clan, hence the name 'Ghost Realm'."
As soon as the words fell, the ghost in the corner of the wall slowly floated up and nodded:
"That's right, except we didn't volunteer to join his army. Instead, we woke up in the Ghost King's Palace, under his control, and carried out his orders."
"Rumor has it that only ghosts who know their own names and identities can return to the underworld, reincarnate, and be reborn.
"But who would recognize us in our current state? Who would be willing to tell us..."
Yes, what can you see with its face filled with black smoke?
Shen Wuyou looked at the gradually decadent and falling ghosts and said, "Just now, I did see a smoky battlefield with a general dying of exhaustion. That should be you, but I can't hear any voices from there, so I don't know your name."
The ghost tribe continues to decline...
"But now that you're my contracted ghost slave, I can't call you by any name anymore. Come up with a name and tell me when you're done."
The ghost tribe was moved when they heard this. They didn't know that ghost slaves also had the right to have names?
So, what could it be called...
It has no memory, no past life, no self, nothing... What should be its name when it has nothing?
It didn't speak, but Shen Wuyou, whose consciousness was connected to it, clearly felt the gloom, frustration, despair and dead silence within it. The thick aura of death was rapidly spreading, and the ghost's thoughts, filled with murderous energy, were gradually losing control...
At this moment, a clear voice suddenly came -
"Ghost General, since you are a general, I will call you 'Ghost General' from now on. From now on, this is your name. Understand?"
Shen Wu looked at it seriously with her dark eyes. Although there was nothing on its face except the terrifying black smoke slowly surging, she still clearly felt the excitement and joy of being respected, as if disbelief was written all over its face.
"Understood!"
It floated up again excitedly, and Shen Wuyou's mind was filled with that vicissitudes of life voice mixed with joy -
"Name! I finally have a name! Ghost General! I'm a general! Hahahaha - I, no, it should be this old man! I really am a great general who defends my country! Hahahaha -"
Shen Wuyou: “…” She didn’t know whether she should interrupt it or not. The noise was making her head hurt.
"Wait a minute, I still have some questions." She finally spoke with a guilty look, asking, "Why are you entrenched in Juancheng? You captured those missing women, didn't you? Why did you capture them?"
The ghost general was stunned when he heard this, then he floated down in fear, his head hanging, feeling timid: "These are all orders from the Lord Ghost King, we... dare not disobey... But! But I absolutely did not hurt them!"
It seemed to have suddenly gained confidence, and with its head held high and its chest puffed out, it said righteously, "I was only ordered to bring the beauty offered as a sacrifice by the city lord to the Ghost King Palace. I didn't do anything else!"
Seeing it act like it had nothing to do with me, I'm very noble, Shen Wuyou couldn't stand it any longer and punched it directly.
"Bang!"
"If you're not the mastermind, you're at least an accomplice. What are you so proud of? You've kidnapped a beautiful woman and brought her to the Ghost King Palace, which is full of vicious monsters. You're so proud of it, aren't you?!"
"Ouch!" It covered its head and curled up pitifully, saying aggrievedly:
"Then... Lord Ghost King's orders are absolute, I cannot disobey..."
Shen Wuyou endured it for a moment and continued to ask, "What does the Ghost King want them for?"
Ghost General: "No...I don't know."
"Are they dead or alive?"
"At first I was alive, then I didn't know..."
“…”
Shen Wuyou clenched his fists and smiled eerily: "Then what do you know?"
"I, I know that those beauties were voluntarily offered to Lord Ghost King by the city lord!" The ghost general saw the four big words "Useless must die" from her smile, so he quickly raised his hand and shouted.
"Also, those beauties were originally offered one per month, but later on, whenever the city lord needed help, he would offer four or five at a time!"
