Zhutian: Everything starts from becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu!

Chapter 453: The sudden disappearance of immortals and an alternative explanation for the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms! - Part
"I'm a ghost!"

Zhao Zheng spoke immediately. He didn't mean anything else, but the thing in front of him was not right. It didn't look like a normal Heavenly Dao. At least he had never seen a Heavenly Dao holding a knife in one hand and a fork in the other.

"Ghost? But you are obviously a human!"

Tiandao's cold and strange voice carried a hint of doubt and disbelief. As soon as he finished speaking, the knife and fork in his hand fell heavily.

boom--

The moment the knife and fork fell, the laws collapsed, the void trembled and collapsed, terrifying darkness descended, layer upon layer of worlds emerged from the broken void, and for a moment even the avenue was wiped out.

Cottage!
Zhao Zheng exited the Zhitianxing state, and immediately used his spirit to combine the dozen or so strands of magic power that had just condensed in his body to forcibly activate the Tianjihedao technique.

One breath,
Two breaths,

Three breaths...

"Eh, you can't interfere with reality?"

After his consciousness returned to his body, Zhao Zheng came to the window of the ward and looked around silently, wondering in his heart. The next moment, he saw through the window those huge monsters walking towards him slowly but quickly.

boom! boom! boom--

Those entities clearly did not interfere with reality, but Zhao Zheng strangely saw tall buildings being destroyed.

The earth was shaking, the sky was covered with gray fog, and a scene like the end of the world appeared before my eyes. Tall buildings were destroyed by the movement of those huge monsters and the accidental collision of their limbs, leaving behind huge and strange footprints, as well as... screams, wails, despair...

Danger,

Danger,

Extremely dangerous...

Even without the divine eye to observe his own luck, Zhao Zheng could still clearly sense that his luck was plummeting madly at this moment.

But what was strange was that when Zhao Zheng was no longer paying attention, or when he was not concentrating on looking out the window.

Everything outside the window was still normal. There were still tall buildings, busy traffic, pedestrians chatting and laughing, and cars roaring. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

It was as if there were no huge monsters that could interfere with reality, and as if those people who should have died under the movement of those huge monsters had never died at all.

But when Zhao Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at it intently, everything returned to its previous state of seemingly doomsday.

Such a polarized scene left Zhao Zheng no time to think too much. He could only think of one thing: if you don't see it, you don't know it.

You see,

I just... also saw it!
Zhao Zheng instantly closed his Yin-Yang Eyes and Heavenly Eyes, and even the power of the Buddha Eyes was suppressed in an instant.

One breath,
Two breaths,

Three breaths...

"There are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper."

Zhao Zheng, who clearly felt that his luck was returning to normal, cursed in his heart. For the first time, he saw the cannibalistic way of heaven, and... the strange scene before him.

Just... outrageous! !

At the same time, he also wanted to understand why he was being subjected to all those negative emotions. Considering the way Tiandao was holding the knife and fork, what kind of bullshit negative emotions were they, even if they were not sprinkled by Tiandao!!
"If the way of heaven is like this, then what about the immortals and gods?"

Zhao Zheng frowned and looked out the window, looking at the faintly shining moon, or rather - the sky. After looking for a while, his brows furrowed even more: "Did those beings just destroy the inner world? Or am I just hallucinating?"

Unable to figure out a clue, Zhao Zheng stopped thinking about it. He took out the gift from behind and the incense that could exorcise ghosts from the copy world and held it in his hand.

He also took out the dark green Tai Chi jade pendant and his wings, which were his personal magical instruments, and put them on before leaving the room.

After a while,
downstairs,

Ward 1716.

"Thank you for visiting him..."

Li Guoqiang's girlfriend May, a teacher, took the gift from Zhao Zheng with red eyes. Zhao Zheng glanced at Li Guoqiang who was still in a coma on the hospital bed after having just finished the operation.

"Mrs. Li, these are what I should do. Brother Li was shot in the chest because he was trying to save me..."

Although Zhao Zheng was confident that he could hit Chen Fulai before he fired, Li Guoqiang had already saved him, so he had nothing to say.

However, he felt that something was wrong with Li Guoqiang's condition at that time. Well, it was as if... he saw something.

"Did you see that female ghost?"

Zhao Zheng thought to himself that May was just sobbing with a red face. He didn't say anything else. He simply said some polite words, left his number to May and told her to call him if she had any problems. Then he left the ward. However, he did not leave the hospital. Instead, he took the elevator downstairs.
Or,

Went to the fifteenth floor where Chen Fulai was!
"Really? No, not entirely. It should be said that not knowing will greatly reduce the ghosts' attention..."

Zhao Zheng was thinking in his heart. He heard the elevator door open with a ding. Before he walked out, he heard a burst of exclamations from the corridor outside the elevator door: "Someone jumped off the building..."

"A patient jumped off the building..."

"It seems to be that criminal..."

The voices of medical staff, patients, and their families continued to ring out. Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows and walked out of the elevator, looking at the patients gathered outside room 1515 and the policemen with grim faces who were maintaining order.

And there was a plainclothes policeman who was making a phone call in the ward with an even uglier look on his face. He walked into the ward next door, squeezed through the crowd, and came to the window to check.
Yes, it’s really Chen Fulai!!
“It’s really extreme.”

What an extreme terrorist!
Looking at Chen Fulai's horrific death downstairs, Zhao Zheng muttered something in his heart, and his closed Yin-Yang eyes, heavenly eyes, and Buddha eyes all opened.

"Huh? No!"

Looking at some strange ghosts near Chen Fulai's body, Zhao Zheng turned around to take a look, frowned slightly, and turned off his ability to see ghosts.

Then he left the ward directly, but what he was thinking about in his mind was not Chen Fulai's ghost, but the senses of these ghosts.

Zhao Zheng discovered that after he looked over, these ghosts who were originally doing what they were doing looked at him.

Although he had only been a director, he didn't think his acting was bad. Logically, these ghosts shouldn't have noticed that he was watching them, at least not so many of them. These ghosts' senses were too sharp.

"I have to find a way to solve this problem. At least they can't see me when I look at them."

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, found an empty spot, took out the windbreaker and black baseball cap he bought from Huihun Yeshijie from behind, put them on, quickly went downstairs, and left the hospital as soon as possible.

There was no way. Chen Fulai was dead. According to Chen Fulai's temperament, if he really became a ghost, he might be secretly watching him somewhere at this moment. He had to go back quickly to improve his strength.

Not long after Zhao Zheng drove out of the hospital, a black car passed by the hospital and stopped in an alley next to the hospital. The car stopped and a man in black walked out.

"Is it him?"

The man in black who got off the car pointed at a beggar sitting at the side of the alley and asked the scarred man who was driving.

"should be!"

"..."

"Hey, just give it a try!"

The scarred man showed a charming smile, and the man in black felt a chill and quickly turned around and walked to the beggar sitting on the ground at the edge of the alley.

"Give it!"

Seeing that his vision was blocked, the beggar pushed his non-existent glasses on his face with his hand with an impatient look on his face.

bang——

A scream was rang out as the man in black kicked the beggar away. The beggar got up from the ground with his hands covering his chest with a look of pain on his face. He patted his chest and glared at the man in black in front of him.

"you wanna die!"

The beggar's face turned grim, but he suddenly smiled at the black-clad man and said, "You must be very rich!"

As he said that, he rushed towards the man in black with a strange smile on his face. Just when he came into contact with the man in black, the strange smile on his face froze, and he looked at the man in black with his pupils contracted.

"The same to you……"

"Hello, Chen Fulai."

The man in black suddenly grinned, which made Chen Fulai's eyes widen. He subconsciously turned around and wanted to escape.

bang——

Another kick. The man in black ignored the fear and panic in Fu Fang's eyes. He frowned and looked at a woman who looked like she had fainted and was leaning against the wall in the distance. He looked away and clenched his fists.

"You...are such a waste..."

Bang! Bang! Bang——

Screams came from the beggar's mouth, or rather, from Chen Fulai's mouth. When the man in black saw that Chen Fulai could no longer stand up, he said indifferently: "My master said that you can't touch him!"

"He... is also..."

bump--

"You talk too much."

The man in black kicked Chen Fulai unconscious, took out alcohol from his pocket with disgust to wash his hands, ignored the pointing and talking of passers-by, got into the black car and left.

Soon after the black car left, a garbage bag-colored paper crane in the roadside garbage dump unfolded its curled-up body, peeked at the beggar who had not yet woken up, then staggered into the nearest sewer.

After a second,
On the other side, Zhao Zheng, who was driving home, rubbed his brows, withdrew the eye-borrowing technique, and said to himself... How terrible.

Yes, terrible!
Zhao Zheng, who witnessed the black-clad man beating the beggar version of Chen Fulai with the skill of borrowing eyes, felt that the difficulty of this mission was extremely high, even a little outrageous.

But there is good news, which is that he has solved the problem of what he sees and knows, the problem of the ghosts' keen senses.

The solution was not difficult, in fact, it was quite simple, he just had to delay and not look directly at the ghosts.

The ghosts are viewed through a one-second delayed 'recording' method to avoid triggering the ghosts' keen senses.

Not directly spying,
Change to indirect.

After the good news, the bad news came. From what the man in black said, Zhao Zheng felt that he was most likely being targeted.

Of course, it is also possible that he was not targeted!
It's purely a question of his identity!!

"Practice first... then... go to the mainland, preferably to Maoshan... No, I can't go, and I don't need to go. I just want to meet the current headmaster of Maoshan Sect..."

Zhao Zheng thought about it, quickened the speed and took Minmin home. After two hours of rushing, Minmin successfully became a wealthy man.

He looked at Minmin who was exhausted and fell into a deep sleep, and took out a sleeping talisman from behind. Then he frowned and looked at the 90% of the divine light on it that dissipated in an instant.

"Outrageous..."

Seeing that the power of the sleeping talisman was weakened by about 90%, Zhao Zheng threw the talisman on Minmin, got out of bed, picked up the Bodhi seeds, went to the bathroom, lay in the bathtub and turned on the cold water.

He began to practice the A Chinese Ghost Story version of the Maoshan Shangqing Dadong Sutra, which he had modified in the past three hours. As the method was running, Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Not bad. The effect of the training has increased from condensing one strand of mana per minute to condensing six strands of mana per minute..."

Zhao Zheng took out the sword case, took out the eye pill he had prepared in advance, and put it back in as before.

"Huh? I'm melted?"

The familiar pain came again. Zhao Zheng looked at his hand that was melting like ice in surprise. He thought to himself that it was strange. He looked at the system and frowned as he looked at the words "Spirit, Energy, Spirit, Refining the Soul and Returning to the Void" flashing on the realm bar.

"A question about the Dharma?"

No big problem, continue to modify!
Zhao Zheng directly swallowed the unmelted Bodhi seed in his left hand, and relying on his enlightenment, he began to modify his skills.

To be honest, if it comes to optimizing the Maoshan Shangqing Dadong Sutra, he can't do it, because in his opinion there is no place to optimize this method, and his knowledge and realm are not enough to optimize the Maoshan sect's long-standing Shangqing Dadong Sutra.

However, he can change it to be more suitable for himself, or in other words, change it to be more suitable for cultivation in this world. He still has the ability to make changes, after all, he has accumulated so much experience in the world.

As he was changing and melting, more than an hour later, Zhao Zheng was left with only his head floating in the bathtub, wondering if the resurrection method planted by Yuhuan on his chest would still be effective when his chest melted. At that moment, his body stopped melting and began to recover.

"Huh? Success?"

Zhao Zhengxin…muttered to himself as he looked at his chin which had not faded any further. After a while, when his body had recovered, he looked at the system.

Essence, Qi and Spirit: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void (1/129600)

"???"

What's going on? One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred days?
Why don't you take 10,000 years to recover? !

"I can fucking live to... Oh, I can really live for more than 120,000 days..." Zhao Zheng felt the condition of his body.

With the blessing of the external elixir, let alone more than 120,000 days or 300 years, as long as he wanted, he could live for thousands of years, provided that he was not killed by others.

"Why don't we modify the technique and see if we can shorten the time? Otherwise, it will take more than 120,000 days. It will take more than 30 years to regain the essence, energy and spirit, refine the spirit and return to emptiness. This is too slow!" Zhao Zheng continued to modify the technique.

the first time,
Essence, Qi and Spirit: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void (1/81000),
the second time,
Essence, Qi and Spirit: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void (1/72000)

the third time,
Essence, Qi and Spirit: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void (1/49000)

The revision continued until dawn, and Zhao Zheng even went back to bed to rest. He had only then reached the point where he could no longer revise.

Essence, Qi and Spirit: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void (1/12960)

"Is it okay for the Dragon King to return after 37 years..."

Zhao Zheng pursed his lips, glanced at Minmin who had just washed up and wanted to come over to be with him, and said in a simple and affectionate way.

"night……"

"I know. I won't come in the evening. You are leaving for the mainland to visit your uncle today. But why are you in such a hurry to leave? I also want to buy some gifts for you to take over." Minmin said while lying in Zhao Zheng's arms.

"Forget about the gift, I can't accept it. It's good that you have the thought in mind. Well, get to work quickly. I should go to the airport soon." Zhao Zheng patted Minmin's snow-white buttocks and said.

After sending Minmin out of the room, Zhao Zheng returned to the room and began to wash up. As for taking a bath, forget it, he had soaked enough last night. "I'd better take a few more days off, in case I don't have enough time..." After washing up, Zhao Zheng sent an email to Director Zheng on the computer to visit his family and asked for another three days of leave. After seeing the other party's read and reply agreement, he left the room.

He walked out of the community and took a taxi to the nearest airport. He had already bought the plane ticket on his computer last night.
Don’t worry about not being able to buy a plane ticket!
After a while,
The airport has arrived.

Arrived at the airport entrance.

After passing security check, Zhao Zheng began to board the plane, feeling the bit of luck slowly burning above his head that he had controlled last night.

When he arrived at the cabin, he took his ticket and sat down in the seat he had reserved. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the old Taoist priest sitting next to him. He knew that the person he wanted to see had come.

Going to the mainland is fake, leaving Hong Kong is real. He doesn't have to go to Maoshan, he just needs to meet the head master of Maoshan to understand the affairs of the cultivation world.

As for the other party's appearance here, it was not because he contacted the other party, but because he wanted to see the other party, so the other party appeared.

This is an application of the way of luck, a kind of wish fulfillment, a method obtained from Director Taiqing of Under One Person.

"Huh? We know each other?"

The current 73rd generation headmaster of Mount Mao took his seat and looked at Zhao Zheng, who was staring at him, in surprise. Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know him, but you... should call me Grandmaster."

"???"

Boy, do you really think I’m old?

The head sect master frowned, and was just thinking of letting Zhao Zheng see the power of his fists and feet as the head sect master of Maoshan, when he saw Zhao Zheng making the Three Mountains Alliance Seal on him. Seeing this, he frowned, stopped rolling up his sleeves and said.

"You are... a branch of Hong Kong..."

"I am the 70th generation disciple of the Maoshan headquarters."

"..."

Therefore,
Where did this ancestor come from?
The head master seriously suspected that Zhao Zheng had jumped out from a crack in the stone, but at the same time, he felt that Zhao Zheng was a liar.

But soon, he found that the passengers around him were like deaf and couldn't hear them talking. After he suddenly yelled and found that it was still the same, he thought...

This person might really be the ancestor!!!

Thinking of this, he swallowed and looked around excitedly at the passengers and crew who didn't even look at him no matter what he said.

"This is a magic... a spell..."

"Yep!"

"It's a magic!"

"Of course, it's just some illusions... Hmm? Don't tell me that you haven't cultivated to the realm of returning to nature, but you are just an ordinary person?" Zhao Zheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the master.

"Grandmaster, I am suffering..."

The head master immediately knelt down, hugged Zhao Zheng's thigh and cried bitterly. Zhao Zheng held his forehead in silence and began to feel that something was wrong.

Soon, after hearing what the head master said, Zhao Zheng knew one thing, that is... the other party was really an ordinary person.

"You mean... since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gods have not appeared, the heavens have disappeared, and the cultivation world has been getting worse and worse. In just three hundred years, the cultivators have disappeared? In another hundred years, the underworld has also disappeared? Just disappeared like that?"

Zhao Zheng frowned as he looked at the excited and tearful headmaster, and when he saw him nod, he continued to ask.

“Why are there no practitioners?”

"The spiritual energy is gone!"

"..."

So what did I absorb?
Zhao Zheng looked at the spiritual energy floating in the air with suspicion. Although it was a bit black in color, it was still called the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"continue……"

Zhao Zheng uttered the two words, and the headmaster hesitated to say, "In fact, in addition to the disappearance of spiritual energy, I have also heard another saying, that is... it doesn't allow us to practice!"

The head master pointed at the blue sky outside the window with a confused look in his eyes. Zhao Zheng nodded and continued to listen. After a while, he confirmed one thing, which was not really good news.

The fact is that the immortals and gods are no longer in this world, the heaven is not visible, and the underworld does not exist. Let alone cultivation, if there were no rituals and some magic that still have an effect in the entire cultivation world,
The cultivation world can be renamed the practice world!

In fact, Zhao Zheng had guessed this when he took time to practice the art of summoning gods last night, especially when he summoned Guan Yu's Green Dragon Crescent Blade and Red Hare, but the other party's favorability did not decrease. He had made this guess.

As for the good news that is not really good news, it is that he is the only immortal in this world, which makes Zhao Zheng feel a little magical!

I, Zhao Zheng, am the only true immortal in the world!

This made Zhao Zheng want to skip Superman on the first day and Homelander on the second day and go straight to I Don't Eat Beef.

However, when he saw the huge monsters walking in the black fog in the sky outside the window, he gave up, fearing that he would become beef by then.

Retracting his gaze, Zhao Zheng looked at the master who was looking at him eagerly, and directly stretched out his hand with a glowing blue light and placed it on the other's forehead to extract the other's memory about the world of cultivation.

As Zhao Zheng continued to browse through the Master's memory, he soon discovered something: there was a Taoist canon missing from the Master's memory.

A Taoist canon that the head master should know and have read. It is the Taoist canon of the Cave God Department and its name is the Law of the Female Green Ghost.

Female Green Ghost Law...

Inexplicably, or in an instant, Zhao Zheng thought of what was written in Volume 1 of the Female Green Ghost Law.

'…Since the first year of the Later Emperor, hundreds of reincarnations have been made, and they do not believe in the Great Dao. The five directions have been killing each other, and epidemics have gradually arisen. Tigers, wolves, and other beasts have grown up due to the epidemics, and all kinds of insects, snakes, and demons have grown worse day by day. There are sixty days in a day, and each day there is a god. When the god is straight for one day, there are thousands of ghosts flying around on that day, and they cannot be stopped. The Great Dao does not stop it, and the Heavenly Master does not order it. The world is free, and evil chases each other. Only the people in China are killed, and the number of deaths is hundreds of billions. The Great Dao could not bear to see it, so on the seventh day of the seventh month of the second year, at noon, these eight volumes of ghost laws were issued, recording the names of ghosts and gods in the world, and the art of good and bad luck, to order the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling to order ghosts and gods not to arbitrarily turn east, west, south, and north. Later, Taoist boys and girls saw my secret scriptures and knew that the names of ghosts were all auspicious, and all ghosts would not interfere, and all kinds of gods would submit. Follow the law and do not spread it to the wrong person. If you spread it to the wrong person, the disaster will spread for seven generations. Do not blame the Tao…'

“So… the evil spirits in this world are rampant just because the former Supreme Taoist Forgot to pass down this Taoist Canon?!” Zhao Zheng felt it was ridiculous.

Yes, it's ridiculous. It's just a Taoist canon, but the Supreme Taoist forgot to pass on a Taoist canon, and the world is like this? !
Zhao Zheng subconsciously didn't believe it, but he felt that it was vaguely related to the missing female Qing Guilu, or in other words,

It is related to the Supreme Taoist Lord.
The Supreme Taoist Lord is Lingbao Tianzun.

"So...what happened back then? Where did the gods go? Where is the Heaven? Where is the Underworld?" Zhao Zheng was filled with too many doubts. At the same time, he was even more confused as to whether the Green Ghost Law was the reason why evil spirits were rampant in the world today.

Also, why is it Lingbao Tianzun again? !
"Also, the Lingbao Tianzun in this world couldn't be the same one I met, right?" Zhao Zheng thought of his Shangqing Huangting Secret Scripture and guessed subconsciously.

Thinking about it, the villain in his heart shook his head. He felt that it should not be the Heavenly Venerable he met in the main world. The reason was simple. The Heavenly Venerable he met... was very strong. After all, the other party could make a nest in the infinite multiverse!
"Take your time. There's no rush. I'll use the methods of this world to perfect my skills and realm first, and then I'll restore my strength..."

Zhao Zheng wiped the memories of the headmaster and himself, removed the magic, closed his eyes and rested. As for recognizing the headmaster as his disciple,

Forget it. He was afraid that just as he recognized him, his master would commit suicide by being stabbed eighteen times in the back.

"But the plan can be changed..."

Zhao Zheng looked at the realm bar which was becoming smaller and smaller as he gradually perfected his realm method, and thought in his heart.

That is to say, the big one cannot come over, otherwise, he will let the Heavenly Dao of this world know what it means for the big devil to destroy the world and kill them all.

Thinking about it, Zhao Zheng opened his eyes and looked out the window of the cabin, his eyes were filled with surprise. It was because of the mainland...

Very clean, beyond his expectation!!
There is also black fog in the mainland, and there are also huge monsters in the black fog, but... there are far fewer than in Hong Kong, at least in terms of area!

"If we calculate based on the same area, those existences are at least half less. Why?" Zhao Zheng looked out the window curiously.

…………

time flies,

night,
Hong Kong Province.

"I've reached my current limit... I can't change it. The Bodhi seeds have been completely digested by me. Besides, if I change it again, I think I'll... split apart..." Zhao Zheng, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes, sat up and looked at the white hands in front of him.

As he concentrated his attention, cracks appeared on the skin of his hands, and wisps of black mist emanated from the cracks.

Like a black fog filling the sky and earth!!
"It seems... there is nothing special, except that the ghosts attract those ghosts here..." Zhao Zheng looked around at the ghosts that seemed to have smelled the scent and came here. With a thought, he activated the Tianji Hedao technique.

With the secret hidden by heaven, the ghosts lost their target and left with regret, which made him look strange. He then continued to modify his skills.

During the six days in Handong Province in the mainland, apart from accompanying his cousin to select a suitable location to build a landscape manor, he spent the rest of his time borrowing Taoist books from various Taoist sects around the world.

Fortunately, although the underworld was gone, the Yin-Yang Road still existed, it was just a little difficult to walk on. With the help of the Yin-Yang Road, he borrowed all the methods and Taoist scriptures of all major sects in five nights. After visiting the library, he roughly understood the history of this world.

The details are just as we learned from the head sect master, it started in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, from the Tianshi Dao in Mount Longhu.

The Supreme Taoist Lord forgot to pass on a copy of the Female Green Ghost Law!
In other words, there was no time to pass it on. According to the information Zhao Zheng received, the heavenly palace and the gods disappeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. They disappeared suddenly.
Didn't say where to go.

It's as if it disappeared suddenly!
The suddenly disappeared Lingbao Tianzun had no time to spread the Dharma to the human world. Without Tianzun to spread the Dharma, the names of those "ghosts" and their weaknesses naturally could not be spread.

In addition, perhaps due to the disappearance of the immortals and the heavenly court, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly weakened, which indirectly caused heavy losses to the cultivation world.

In fact, it was okay at the beginning. No matter how powerful the ghosts were, they were defeated by the monks. But later, Zhao Zheng didn't find out much details. He only found one sentence, which was a sentence he saw in the mind of a hundred-year-old disciple in Longhu Mountain.

The Great Saint Statue in the Great Saint Temple,
Who is hiding in the great statue?

The battle between the ghosts and the cultivators ended in such a muddle. Just when the cultivators thought they had won, they were horrified to find that they had not won. But when they realized it, it was too late.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth... is gone!
Apart from some magical instruments, some rituals, and some spells, the practitioners discovered in despair that they were simply unable to deal with those ghosts.

Especially... at that time the underworld no longer existed, and ghosts could not go to the underworld, so they all stayed and wandered in the world of the living.

correct,

At that time,
This is what later generations called the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms!

Of course, it also includes the Two Jin Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The former is after the disappearance of the underworld, and the latter is before the disappearance of the underworld. Later...

This is what the practitioners believe in as co-existence (confinement) and concealment of information, as well as the establishment of a department to fight against ghosts.

In fact, after obtaining that information, Zhao Zheng realized that the Miscellaneous Affairs Department had actually existed since ancient times, but it did not have this name in ancient times.

For example, Crouching Tiger, the commander of the Sili Army during the Han Dynasty,
For example, the Imperial Censorate in the Tang Dynasty - the Imperial Censor,
Another example...

There are many examples like this, but unfortunately, they cannot be killed all, because the evil ghosts were human beings in their previous lives, so they can never be killed.

Not only are they impossible to kill, these ghosts are also different from the ghosts in Zhao Zheng's other worlds. In some ways, they are more tenacious, for example, they can be transmitted from person to person. Of course, Zhao Zheng is not clear about the details because he has been reading books and modifying his skills these days.

"Is it because of a problem with the heaven and earth, or is it that what I absorbed was not spiritual energy..." Zhao Zheng did not care too much about the past and ghost matters, but was thinking about what the cultivation world said about the disappearance of the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, as well as the disappearance of the immortals and gods.

In his opinion, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth does exist, but it is just indifferent. It can still be used to coax the other person.

“I can use my magic and supernatural powers, and my realm will soon return to the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void. How could there be no spiritual energy from heaven and earth? Hmm, I understand. It’s because their talents are too poor…”

Zhao Zheng thought about his own innate five-element Taoist body holy fetus 3/5, and felt that it was probably because those people had poor talents.
Or,

The threshold for cultivation in this world is too high!!
And...it's dangerous!!
After thinking about the cannibalistic way of heaven, Zhao Zheng took out his Xiantian Pill and looked at it. He felt that he could change his plan.

"But before that, I'd better go and test the strength of those ghosts... and see if I can stop the descendants of those ghosts... and by the way, find out where the disappeared immortals have gone."

As for the former, he was sure, but for the latter, he was just thinking about it. After all, the whole world had been searching for more than a thousand years and still hadn't found the answer.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng got up... and went to the living room, looked at the opened door lock and Minmin who walked in. Minmin smiled gently when she saw Zhao Zheng.

"Hehe, you're back after all!"

Minmin came in carrying a bunch of food and daily necessities and said, "I saw that there was nothing to eat in your refrigerator, so I bought these for you. Take a look and see what you like to eat..."

"eat you!"

Zhao Zheng didn't care how Minmin got the key to his house. After all, Fu Fang was in the criminal team before he became a clerk. After saying that, he walked up and carried Minmin, who was shouting "no", into the bedroom.

Most of what women say is sarcastic.

Such as, not wanting means wanting.

Time passed quickly. After finishing his meal, it was late at night. Zhao Zheng looked at Minmin who was sleeping on him. He stretched out his hand to push her away and cast a sleeping spell on her. Then he put on his clothes and stepped out.
After a few minutes,

In an abandoned building.

"Hehe, it's fun, really fun..."

A grown man was sitting on the ground, cutting his flesh with a knife, cutting it piece by piece as if he was not afraid of the pain.

"Little friend, I have something more fun here, do you want to play?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and the adult man looked in the direction of the voice. At first glance, he saw a thick black fog.

Looking closely, he saw a man whose face could not be seen clearly, walking slowly towards him with his hands in his pockets, then coming up to him and looking down at him.
