Chapter 400 Is being a ghost so evil?
In the underworld, there are five ghost emperors and ten kings of the underworld. What Lin Du wants to see is the person who holds the book of life and death, the judge, not the king of the underworld.
The ghost led Lin Du from the border all the way to Fengdu. Along the way, many wandering evil ghosts could be seen coming and going. If he hadn't had a ghost messenger's clothes, Lin Du would have been devoured by now.
The ghost messenger was afraid of Lin Du, but he didn't have any ill feelings towards her. He kept talking to her about trivial things in the ghost world.
Until they met a barefoot ghost cultivator, the ghost shuddered, "That, that cultivation is ridiculously high, the evil ghost killed from the Styx, only eats evil ghosts, you..."
As he spoke, he looked into the air, and ran forward, shouting, "Someone wants to break through, kill ghosts!"
The barefoot ghost cultivator stared at Lin Du.
Lin Du: ... Oops, she has become an evil ghost.
The soul and the ghost looked at each other for a moment, Lin Du raised his hand, and his consciousness condensed into a golden divine symbol, and directly hit the evil ghost.
The evil ghost also attacked in an instant, and a bone in his hand smashed towards Lin Du, and the other hand, regardless of the pain of the soul being devoured by the divine seal, crushed the golden character.
The bones, with a thick yin energy, surrounded Lin Du in an instant, including the ghost who was running away.
The ghost looked back at Lin Du in despair. If he had known, he would not have used such a trick to attract the attention of the evil ghost. Why did the evil ghost even surround the ghost?
Lin Du calmed down, "Brother, you are joking again. Look, you have attracted the evil ghost."
The ghost laughed, "You are right, I am joking. I warn you, I am a direct subordinate of King Yan, with a license plate, and she is also a serious ghost. We are just joking."
The moment the evil ghost turned around and stared at the ghost, Lin Du raised his hand again. Tai Chi boxing can borrow the power of yin and yang in heaven and earth. There is yin energy here, so she can use it naturally.
The Yin Qi rolled up, and he punched the evil ghost into his palm, then quickly changed his position and punched the evil ghost more than ten feet away.
Lin Du took advantage of the situation and ran away, and a magic talisman burned away the Yin Qi cage, "Are you going to run or not? What are you doing?" The
ghost ran after him, and couldn't believe that Lin Du was still running fast.
On his first day as a ghost, he couldn't move at all, let alone beat ghosts. How did Lin Du do it?
Is being a ghost so weird?
When they ran all the way to the city gate, the two "ghosts" stopped.
"Are you still running?" Lin Du turned to look at the ghost.
The ghost messenger was annoyed, "Don't run, don't run, we're already in the city, I'll take you directly to King Yan's Palace."
When they arrived in front of King Yan's Palace, Lin Du realized that the place was heavily guarded. She was a stranger, and even with the ghost messenger leading her, it would be difficult for her to enter.
But Lin Du, who lied to heaven and ghosts, had never been afraid of anyone.
"Why did you bring a living ghost in? Aren't you from the Remnant Soul Department? Do ghosts want to enter King Yan's Palace?"
The guards stopped the two "ghosts", and Lin Du remained calm, "I'm more important, so I'll leave it to King Yan to decide."
"Why are you so heavy..."
"She is Lin Du." The ghost messenger, whose back was pressed by the blade of consciousness, said nervously.
There was a brief silence in the air. "Ah! That Lin Du!"
"I know you. You made all of us ghost messengers in the underworld work overtime for several days. More than 10,000 souls came to me in just half an hour. We were almost exhausted."
"But you came. The judge probably wanted to see you. He has been worried for hundreds of years because tens of thousands of people and monsters were missing from the Book of Life and Death. You helped him settle the accounts of tens of thousands of people."
Lin Du fell into deep thought. Is she so famous in the ghost world?
"Go in, go in, just this time." The guard let her go.
Before Lin Du could say anything, he heard a startling wooden sound.
A powerful ghost force was pressing against Lin Du's hidden vital point, "Lin Du? You are fine, but you leave the living things to do and come down here?"
Lin Du felt his vital point being pinched, without changing his expression, "Of course I want to borrow the Book of Life and Death. I want to see the changes in the population of the Dongming Realm and the spiritual world over the years. I want to know if the decline of the rules of the Dongming Realm and the decrease in the concentration of spiritual energy are related to the population."
"I also want to ask how those who died unjustly due to external factors will be reincarnated, and whether the Dongming Realm will have to welcome so many new creatures at once, and whether the rules will collapse."
Too many people died suddenly in the Dongming Realm, and the Underworld is not a place that can accommodate as many ghosts as possible. Those people will be reincarnated sooner or later.
Wen Fu's man-made evil plan was not intended to let these souls enter the reincarnation cycle. Tens of thousands of people escaped from the Book of Life and Death and died, and entered the reincarnation cycle at the same time, which would inevitably bring great pressure to the Dongming Realm.
Lin Du wanted an answer, whether the population was related to the decline of the rules of the Dongming Realm.
Is it true that someone must offer sacrifices to the heaven?
The judge looked like a scholar, but he was dignified. After listening to what Lin Du said, "That's it? Just because of this? You risked not being able to go back and went down to the underworld to break into the King Yan's Palace?"
"You didn't jump out of a crack in a stone, and you are not unattached, so how dare you be so bold?"
The judge was almost amused by Lin Du's frank and empty reason.
Lin Du stood at the bottom of the hall, neither dodging nor dodging, "What else? I do have something I care
about. What I care about are my fellow disciples, the people, and all living beings. If I don't go to hell, who will?" "You want to pry into the secrets of heaven! You will shorten your life! Calculate it yourself. You only have a few years to live longer, and you can only increase your life by one or two years every year by drinking medicine. Where do you have the confidence to dare to pee into the sky?"
The judge said some harsh words to this extremely capable monk with a future. "Do you think that if you find out the truth about the inexplicable disappearance of the population, I will repay you..."
"Not only do I dare to pee into the sky," Lin Du interrupted him. She only had seven days. If she didn't go back within seven days, she would never be able to go back.
She had to convince the judge as soon as possible. It took almost a day to get into the city. She also had to go to the Styx to fetch water, and the return trip would also take quite a while.
"I still dare to steal the sky. If you don't let me see and don't let me go back, I will be a ghost cultivator in the underworld. I asked around when I came here. There are many ghost cultivators who choose not to reincarnate in the underworld. If I can't be a celestial being, I will be a ghost immortal and turn this underworld upside down."
Lin Du said frankly, "I must get the answer I want, whether it is an ancient book or a heavenly book, I only want one answer."
The judge took a deep breath, "You can't read the Book of Life and Death, and the rules of the world are not something that someone of your level of cultivation can know."
Lin Du's eyes showed a gloom, weighing the chances of winning a fight with the judge, "It is precisely because you can't tell us the rules of the world that I want to read the Book of Life and Death
, isn't it?" "Because we cultivators are bound, we have to rely on practice and perception, trial and error step by step, guessing, and repeated trial and error to verify the truth and understand the secrets of heaven. But as ants, can we really only react when the thread of the hanging sword is cut and the sword blade falls on our heads?"
"Even ants have to struggle to survive. If a cultivator has reached such a level of cultivation, but still cannot provide a safe place for the people, maintain the balance of heaven and earth, and lay the foundation for peace for all eternity, then what is the purpose of the cultivator's cultivation?"
"Just to inherit the unique skills of the long sword? Just to reach the highest level of martial arts? Just to distinguish the way and surpass the predecessors?"
Lin Du looked at the judge, his pale and thin face showed a stern determination, as if he was alone in the snow on the mountain. "This is also possible, but it is not what I do."
The judge was speechless, as if he saw the Taoist ancestor in the past, who opened the chaos, spread the truth, and saved all living beings.
But Lin Du... This Lin Du's life book shows that she was born with only thirteen. If she had not become a disciple and entered the Tao, and her lifespan had gradually increased, she would have died long ago.
Compared with cultivators of the same level of cultivation, her lifespan has always been surprisingly short.
This is her life, but she is so desperate for her Tao.
He couldn't help but ask, "Do you really not care about your life at all?"
"I cherish my life, but if I can't achieve my Tao, this life is not worth cherishing."
Lin Du knew very well that after choosing the Tao, all the previous skills, mental skills, and natural treasures would not allow him to reach a higher level of cultivation. They would only continue to accumulate spiritual power. From then on, if he didn't break through a realm, he would need to make a leap in his Tao. Anyone
can absorb spiritual energy, but it can be accumulated slowly by spending more time. However, the understanding of the rules and the breakthrough in Tao cannot be achieved by practicing in a conventional way.
Therefore, many brothers and sisters in the sect traveled outside all year round, using everything they encountered in the world to hone their Tao hearts.
Lin Du came not only for the common people in the Dongming Realm, but also for the sacrifices to heaven for his uncle and fellow disciples, and for his own Tao.
To penetrate the truth, one must test it personally.
Since this path has been chosen, one must move forward courageously.
"If you touch this, you will shorten your lifespan by a hundred years. You must not touch it." The judge looked at the divine book. He was only a user, not a master. Even if Lin Du really confronted him, he might not be able to completely suppress Lin Du.
But he couldn't tell Lin Du.
"Shorten your lifespan? I have a long lifespan! Can you shorten my lifespan?" A crisp female voice came in.
Lin Du turned around in surprise. A group of mermaids came in, with Ni Jinxuan at the head, followed by Yan Qing, Yuan Ye and Hou Cang with a stern face.
They were clearly covered with vitality and only had negative energy, but with just one sentence, it was as if they brought the vitality of the human world into this dark underworld lit by candlelight, bringing the glory and aura of the human world.
"Why are you..."
"Of course I came to see you, Junior Uncle. Fourth Uncle said something was wrong with you and he was a little worried. It just so happened that Second Sister wanted to ask Granny Ma if there was any secret technique that could completely cure your illness, and then the two of them got together."
Ni Jinxuan curved her eyebrows, "Uncle, you said, remember to bring a bodyguard when you go out! I brought one for you!"
Yuan Ye looked at the dazed judge, "Judge, let's have a discussion. Can we all have equal life spans and deduct them in equal parts? I'll pay twenty years, and put it on Yan Qing's account."
Yan Qing took the pen and the booklet and said, "I'll pay twenty years too, and put it on Yuan Ye's account."
Ni Jinxuan nodded vigorously, "I'll pay twenty years! Ni Jinxuan from the Supreme Sect, and the fourth uncle has a high level of cultivation, so maybe he can pay twice as much!"
Hou Cang: Can't you ask the person concerned for his opinion? Is this reasonable?
