This is clearly a real and complete world, so why do those people in the Qianyuan Realm say that it is full of demons and it is like hell? Who is hell?
Yu Qian'an couldn't help but think of many plot twists, such as the group of people from the Qianyuan Realm saying that others were demons, but in fact they themselves were the demons.
But this possibility is not very high. After all, my own insight can still see the true form of these guys. Even if those advanced ones can't see through them, those ordinary people can still see through them if they are demons.
Unless in the Qianyuan Realm, the lower level people are also ordinary people, and the higher level people are transformed from demons.
But why would the demons do this? In that world, ordinary people didn't lack souls. Although everyone lived a hard life, they didn't worry about being killed and eaten.
There were not many restaurants in the town, so Yu Qian'an and Buu picked a relatively clean one and walked in. The waiter came over quickly and said, "Hey, sirs, please come in. What would you like to eat? I'll have it prepared for you in the back."
After wiping the table, the waiter looked at Yu Qian'an expectantly.
Yu Qian'an looked around and saw a row of wooden signs hanging above the shopkeeper's counter, which listed the specialty dishes that the store could offer: "One...that's all."
After the waiter served the dishes, Yu Qian'an asked, "Which direction is the nearest city from here? How far is it?"
The waiter said, "The closest place to our town is, of course, Demon Suppression City. It's a two-day walk from here. If you want to go to the city, the carriage shop at the east end of our town has a carriage that goes to the city every morning. Of course, you can also hire a carriage and travel on your own, which is more spacious and free."
Yu Qian'an had just arrived here and did not use telepathy rashly. If he was targeted by the big boss, it would be difficult for him to investigate the truth of the world.
After dinner, the two of them walked around the town. This was just an ordinary town. Not to mention cultivators, there wasn't even a single person with extraordinary powers.
Coming to the outside of the Demon-Suppressing City from the small town again, Yu Qian'an looked at the imitation magic mirror at the door of the car and the monk with a sword on his back. This made Yu Qian'an even more confused. Your big city is heavily guarded, but the small town doesn't seem to be plagued by demons?
What is going on?
This world is so weird that Yu Qian'an feels like his brain is not enough.
After observing for a while, he found that these magic mirrors would not cause any changes on people. After watching for a long time without seeing any changes, Yu Qian'an followed the crowd and walked in.
As soon as it reached the foot of the city, the magic mirror changed from ordinary light to red light.
Oh my goodness, so this magic mirror is designed to protect me? Seeing the monks on both sides draw their weapons and rush towards Yu Qian'an, Yu Qian'an was speechless. He had worked so hard to disguise himself and wanted to get information, but he didn't expect to be exposed in a place like this!
After shaking off these monks, Yu Qian'an used instant teleportation with Buu and returned to the original village.
It’s better not to enter the city. This world is too weird. Yu Qian’an decided to get some basic information before deciding on the next course of action.
Sitting on the top of the mountain outside the village, Yu Qian'an watched the sun slowly set. When darkness swallowed the world, Yu Qian'an felt a cold wave invading the world. All the houses closed their doors and windows, and the whole world fell into a strange silence.
The night and day in this world seem to be two different worlds. Demons dance wildly at night. Yu Qian'an feels that there really seems to be a demon world here.
These demons came from the world above our heads, which means that there are really demons in the Qianyuan Realm. Is it that one who is obviously a demon himself but still insists on saying that others are demons?
How did those people evade Yu Qian'an's detection?
When the demons came to the human world, they did not harass the villages and towns or the living people. Instead, they went to places like mass graves and cemeteries.
Yu Qian'an saw those demons go to the mass grave, dig up the newly buried corpses and start to devour them with big mouthfuls. Yu Qian'an then realized the problem of this world. There are very few graves in this world, and the mass graves are in a mess. It seems that eating those corpses is a common occurrence, so normal that everyone is not surprised.
Some people didn't even bury them, but just took them to a mass grave and covered them with a white cloth.
Yu Qian'an wondered, were the Qianyuan Realm above inhabited by a group of ghouls? It didn't look like that. They didn't exude corpse qi or a stench of decay, and when they attacked, they didn't carry corpse poison. Instead, they exuded a neutral and peaceful Taoist aura.
During the night, Yu Qian'an did not find any human villages or cities being attacked, but there were some monks fighting with the zombies to protect the corpses. Those zombies were not as powerful as imagined, and basically any monk of the same level could easily kill them.
But what makes these ghosts disgusting is that after you kill them, one will turn into two, and if you chop them again, two will turn into four, and four will turn into eight. Even if you burn them to death, the corpse gas on their bodies will not disappear, but will float to other places and be absorbed by other zombies.
It is equivalent to that you can never kill them, and the more you kill, the stronger they may become, because zombies that cannot find food will devour each other, and their strength will continue to increase after devouring.
As long as people keep dying and corpses keep existing in this world, the ghoul population will continue to grow and become more powerful. This is indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary demons.
Moreover, these zombies can grow stronger not only by eating corpses, but also by absorbing resentment, negative energy, and corrupted energy.
Yu Qian'an waited until dawn when the sun came out before he followed these zombies upwards. Yu Qian'an wanted to see how this group of cultivators turned into zombies and went to the world below to eat corpses at night, and who were the zombies.
Passing through the barrier between the worlds, Yu Qian'an followed the zombies to the bottom of the Qianyuan Realm. Then Yu Qian'an saw the zombies flying to the bottom of the floating islands and hanging upside down there to rest.
“???”
Yu Qian'an was speechless. He had guessed so many possibilities, but he never expected that these zombies were not the cultivators above. They were just creatures living under the floating island. They were afraid that the sun would not come out during the day, so they came out at night to look for corpses to eat. This kind of creature actually had its own schedule.
But why aren't there any zombies in the world above? Or is it because I haven't seen what the world above looks like?
Yu Qian'an suddenly remembered that the poor in the world above had a special funeral custom. Because they had no land of their own, the bodies of their deceased relatives would be thrown onto the floating island...
In other words, these zombies don’t need to go up, the people above will continuously throw corpses down for them to eat?
Just as he was thinking about it, a corpse was thrown down from the floating island above. Not long after it fell, it was caught and eaten by the zombies.
