Chapter 1233 Ghost Food Source

"Is it different from the architectural style of ancient times?" Lu Yang laughed out loud as if he heard something very interesting.

"Isn't it?" Mu Baiyi felt unsure when hearing Lu Yang's laughter. After all, he was a real genius from the ancient times and had the most say in the architectural style of the ancient times.

"Let's talk while we walk." Lu Yang said with a smile, motioning Mu Baiyi to lead the way.

"This way."

Mu Baiyi made a gesture of invitation and led everyone to the river.

The fog in the river was getting thicker. A wooden boat was moored on the shore. Deputy leader Shihuagu untied the knot and ferried everyone across.

"This place is called Wangchuan River. It was built according to the manuscript left by Qin Haoran. Wangchuan River surrounds Fengdu. If you want to enter Fengdu, you need to be picked up by a ferryman to cross the Wangchuan River."

"This river can detect whether there are any dangerous goods in the items carried by passengers. Of course, you don't need to check it." Mu Baiyi added this at the end to avoid offending Lu Yang and others.

There were also large green lanterns floating in the river, the same color as the will-o'-the-wisp fires floating above everyone's heads, providing light for them.

"It does have some flavor." Meng Jingzhou commented casually, as if he understood it very well.

"Master Lu, where did Fengdu's architectural style come from?"

Lu Yang did not answer directly, but asked another question: "Master Mu, when do you think the ancient times ended?"

"Naturally, the ancient immortals transformed the stars into continents, and then the ancient times ended, and Emperor Zhongtian and others established the Daqian Dynasty on the ruins."

Lu Yang shook his head: "You are wrong. There was a gap of 100,000 years between the transformation of the stars into continents and the establishment of the Daqian Dynasty. During these 100,000 years, a behemoth was born, called the Xinhuo Dynasty."

"What?!"

Both Mu Baiyi and Sect Leader Chi Liu Zhen were shocked. Shi Hua Gu, who was rowing, almost lost his grip on the oar and fell into the river when he heard the secret.

None of them had ever heard of this huge dynasty that spanned a hundred thousand years.

"Do you remember what I said, that in ancient times, the Heaven and the Underworld existed side by side, one in charge of the common people, and the other in charge of reincarnation."

"This underworld that governs the cycle of life and death was established during the Xinhuo Dynasty."

"The Fengdu built by your sect looks a bit like the underworld."

Yingtianxian, Suiyuexian, Jiuchongxian, Qinghe, and Ao Ling are all people who have experienced the Xinhuo Dynasty. From their descriptions, Lu Yang roughly knows what the underworld looks like, and it is very similar to the Feng in front of him.

It is not known whether Qin Haoran accidentally recalled the memories of his first life or fully awakened his memories, which led to the drawing of the Fengdu manuscript.

Lu Yang is more inclined to the former. After all, if Qin Haoran had fully awakened his memory and still failed to overcome the tribulation, it would be a bit outrageous.

"So that's how it is!" Mu Baiyi was sure that he had invited the right person this time, as only the people of the Heavenly Court knew such ancient secrets.

When everyone got off the boat, the majestic and towering ancient city of Fengdu appeared before them, solemn and dignified, with an indescribable sense of antiquity.

This ancient feeling is not only reflected in the architectural style, but also in the building materials.

Lu Yang stroked the bricks and stones of the city wall and asked, "Are these bricks and stones not newly refined?"

"Master Lu has a good eye. When we were exploring the tomb, we accidentally discovered the ancient capital of the Daqian Dynasty. We moved the bricks and stones of the ancient capital here to build Fengdu."

“What are these bricks and stones?”

“Both.”

Lu Yang was silent for a moment. The scale of Fengdu City was comparable to that of the Great Xia Imperial Capital. The bricks and stones used to build Fengdu all came from the ancient capital, which meant that the ancient capital was as big as the Great Xia Imperial Capital.

Which ancient capital of Daqian could be so big? You might have dug up the imperial capital of Daqian.

The two city gates were as heavy as the mountains. The petrified bones pushed open the heavy wooden doors. The city was full of ghosts with various shapes. Some were as tall as a two-story building, while others were only the size of a palm. There were tens of thousands of ghosts.

Fengdu was completed with a grand ceremony. The city was decorated with lights and big red lanterns. Every ghost had a big red paper pasted on him. Although Lu Yang and the others knew that Mu Baiyi's intentions were good, this scene, combined with Fengdu's dark environment and the green ghost fire, was very creepy no matter how you looked at it.

"Starving ghosts, five-horned ghosts, sexy ghosts, ears and eyes ghosts..."

Lu Yang thought he knew a lot of ghosts, but there were still many ghosts whose names he couldn't pronounce or whose origins he couldn't recognize.

Mu Baiyi proudly introduced: "Almost all the ghosts of Daxia are here."

Originally, the Jiuyou Sect did not have so many ghosts. As barbecue restaurants sprang up everywhere, the store clerks would look for ghosts in the local area during their free time. If they could recruit them into the Jiuyou Sect, they would receive a considerable reward based on the ghost's level of cultivation.

The Jiuyou Sect, which was extremely poor in the past, would never have been able to do this.

"According to the needs of the ghosts, we have also built academies, restaurants, teahouses and other places, which are enough for them to live here forever."

Lu Yang suddenly realized: "In other words, Fengdu City is a city built specifically for ghosts to live in?"

No wonder the Jiuyou Sect was determined to build the Fengdu City. It turned out that it was not only a matter of faith, but also this reason.

"What do ghosts eat?"

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

As the saying goes, "Yin cannot grow alone, Yang cannot grow alone." Although ghosts are extremely yin creatures, they need a lot of yang energy to maintain basic activities.

This is also the reason why ghosts absorb the yang energy of living people.

There are so many ghosts living in Fengdu City. The Jiuyou Sect can’t capture people regularly to feed the ghosts, right?

"I have to thank Master Chi for this."

Master Chi smiled slightly, raised his hand and said modestly: "I only provided a small help, the main solution was still yours."

"Please look, both of you." Mu Baiyi took out a lamp from behind him.

"Solar lights?" Meng Jingzhou wondered, aren't solar lights supposed to ward off ghosts?

"This is different from ordinary solar lights."

Mu Baiyi pressed the switch, and the solar light lit up slightly, but not as bright as the ghost lights above everyone's heads.

"Ghosts absorb yang energy, and the biggest source of yang energy in the world is the sun."

"It's just that the sun is too strong. Only the ghost king can move under the sun. Ordinary ghosts will die when they see the sun. They can't absorb the sun's energy."

"Solar lamps happen to absorb the sun's yang energy, so I asked Master Chi to research a solar lamp that is not too bright. When the brightness is reduced, less solar energy is released, and ghosts can absorb it."

"I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to work." Mu Baiyi smiled. He was not sure before trying it.

Once the problem of food source for ghosts is solved, the ghosts of Daxia will naturally come to join the Jiuyou Sect.

The Yaoyang Sect is very happy to cooperate with the Jiuyou Sect and is even willing to provide solar lamps for free. The purpose of their sect is to promote the great sun. Now even ghosts have to rely on the sun, which is enough to show the greatness of the sun.

"In that case, these ghosts will live in Fengdu in the future?" Lu Yang asked. This was an unexpected good thing.

It is a recognized problem in the imperial court that ghosts are difficult to manage. Even whether ghosts have human rights is a hotly debated issue and there is no definitive conclusion.

It would be great if all ghosts lived in Fengdu.

"Not all of them live in Fengdu. We also need ghosts to run the barbecue restaurant and research new products with the Yaoyang Sect."

"Can't we just hire someone?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Mu Baiyi waved his hand: "If you use a human, you need to pay monthly installments, which is too expensive. If you use a ghost, you only need to provide yang energy."
