I'm not a psychopath!

Chapter 220 Yama Palace

The shock in Jiang Qing's heart gradually subsided, replaced by a deep sense of doubt and curiosity.

He knew that Fengdu, as a legendary place, must be hiding countless secrets and powers, and he was now standing in the center of this mysterious place.

"Since this is Fengdu, there must be a way to leave." Jiang Qing said to himself, "Hmm...it can't be reincarnation."

"Let me ask you, why is this place so dilapidated?" Jiang Qing asked the ghost woman.

Fengdu had become a prosperous place, but even after he opened his eyes, the scenery he saw was not much different. 'Perhaps due to some unknown reasons, it gradually became desolate and dead?'

Jiang Qing thought so.

"..."

The ghost woman, who had always answered every question, was now hesitating, as if she had something to say but was afraid to.

"What on earth happened here?" Jiang Qing frowned and thought. He could feel that there was a huge secret hidden behind this ghost town.

“……”The other party still didn’t respond.

"You don't dare to say it?"

This time the other party nodded.

Jiang Qing nodded when he saw this scene, and he formed a formation with his hands, trapping the two ghosts in the formation, and then arcs of electricity began to bounce off the fingertips of his left hand.

"You don't have to tell me. Aren't you afraid? I want to see whether you are afraid of the unknown existence or the thunder magic in front of you."

Now is not the time to be pretentious, he should just use the necessary means. Of course, these two little devils didn't harm him, so he wouldn't take their lives.

"Sir..." The ghost woman gave him a pleading look.

"Speak!" Jiang Qing shouted.

At the same time, the lightning in his hand became more and more dazzling. The other party trembled and was indeed frightened. He hurriedly said: "Sir, please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!
I said, I said everything.

This matter needs to be discussed in detail...

Fengdu, once the home of ghosts, is a country where death and tranquility coexist.

Its territory is vast enough to accommodate ghosts from all over the world.

Fengdu, as the center of the underworld, is huge, comparable to a state in the world of the living. However, all the prosperity and order came to an abrupt end after a certain turning point. "

"A long time ago, Fengdu City was the final resting place for all ghosts." The ghost woman's voice was a little sad as she began to narrate the forgotten history. "This place was once so prosperous. Ghosts and gods ruled the laws here and maintained the balance between life and death."

Jiang Qing listened, his heart filled with curiosity and awe about that period of history.

"But everything changed at some point." The ghost woman continued, her voice revealing deep fear, "The ghosts and gods suddenly disappeared without a trace, even the King of Fengdu disappeared.

Fortunately, Fengdu's death laws do not require the supervision of gods and can still operate automatically, so at the beginning, we did not feel too panicked. "

Jiang Qing frowned. He could sense the ominous premonition hidden in this history.

"However, a greater disaster followed." A trace of despair flashed in the ghost woman's eyes.

"The world was torn apart, and the path of reincarnation was cut off. From now on, when people die, there will be no more reincarnation, but they will disappear into thin air like a light being extinguished."

"The world is torn apart?" Jiang Qing was puzzled. He tried to understand the deeper meaning behind it.

"It means exactly what it says." The ghost woman explained, her voice trembling slightly, "An overwhelming force descended and shattered the underworld.

Fengdu City was not spared and was torn into countless pieces."

Jiang Qing's heart was shocked, and he began to realize that the real situation was more complicated and dangerous than he had imagined.

“And this is the corner that was torn off.”

The ghost woman pointed around, her eyes full of helplessness, "Not only has the reincarnation path been cut off, this place is just a fragment, and no new souls have moved in for a long time.

Without new dead souls, Fengdu's vitality is gradually fading, and everything will fall into ruin..."

Jiang Qing was silent. He looked around at this once glorious but now dilapidated ghost town, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

Then, Jiang Qing asked the ghost woman in a deep voice, with a hint of urgency in his tone:
"Then do you know who cut off the underworld?" His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at the ghost woman, hoping to get some clues from her.

The other party shook his head, with helplessness and confusion on his face: "How could I possibly know such a thing..."

Her voice was low and she was clearly helpless about the problem.

Jiang Qing nodded slightly. He did not blame the ghost woman. After all, she was just one of the ghosts trapped here. It was impossible for her to know all the details of such a secret event.

But Jiang Qing did not give up. He continued to ask: "Then do you know about paper figures? They look like..."

Jiang Qing began to describe the appearance of the paper man, including its size, shape, and the disturbing aura.

After hearing Jiang Qing's description, the ghost woman's face suddenly changed. She covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief: "That's the Yin messenger!"

Her voice trembled, and she was obviously extremely shocked about the identity of the paper man.

"A ghost?"

Jiang Qing kept repeating this word in his mouth. This word was very well-known and had appeared in many video works in his previous life, but obviously not in the form of a paper man.

"Yes, underworld messengers..." the ghost woman confirmed, with deep fear in her eyes, "They are messengers directly under the Emperor of Fengdu, responsible for delivering orders and carrying out tasks in the underworld."

Jiang Qing's heart moved, and he immediately thought of the paper man he had met outside before and its strange behavior.

He took a deep breath and told her about his previous encounter with the paper man outside, especially the details of how the paper man lured him to this place.

"What? Did the evil spirit lur you here?" The ghost woman's face showed an even more shocked expression, and she seemed to realize that something terrible was happening.

Jiang Qing stared at the ghost woman. He could sense that she knew some key information:

"Ghost woman, tell me, what do you know? Why did the paper man lure me here?"

The ghost lady was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The ghost messengers usually don't act without reason, if they lured you here, there must be a reason.

perhaps……

Perhaps it has something to do with the disaster in Fengdu, or with the supreme power that tore the underworld apart."

The ghost lady sighed, "The ghost messengers have lost the guidance of the gods, and their behavior has become unpredictable.

It is also possible that they regard you as invaders or new dead souls.

I will send you to reincarnation."

Jiang Qing's brows were furrowed. He could feel that the seriousness of the situation was escalating.

The appearance of the paper man and its behavior are obviously not accidental. There must be the secret of Fengdu hidden in it and the real reason why he was trapped here.

"I must find the paper man and find out the truth of all this." Jiang Qing made up his mind. He knew that he could no longer wait passively. He had to take the initiative to uncover the secret of Fengdu and find a way to leave.

Jiang Qing nodded to the ghost woman to express his gratitude, then turned and walked out of the house.

Just as Jiang Qing was silent, a deafening sound of fighting came from afar, followed by a series of hurried running sounds.

Jiang Qing looked into the distance with some surprise. It seemed to be Qin Xiaosui and the others. How come they came in too?

Was he sucked in too?

There was no time to hesitate, as something seemed to have happened to them, and Jiang Qing immediately ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

……

As the light shone, the ghosts' shrill screams rang out on the gloomy streets.

Qin Xiaosui and his group took advantage of this opportunity, turned around and fled quickly, their figures quickly moving through the narrow alleys.

"Why are these ghost messengers like sticky candies? I can't get rid of them!" Baili Ye complained as she ran, her voice revealing obvious dissatisfaction and anxiety.

Luo Hua followed closely behind, his eyes vigilantly looking around, ready to respond to new attacks at any time. "Stop complaining, keep your strength, we have to find a way out!"

His voice was low and firm.

Luo Shui calmly analyzed the current situation, "The ghosts are afraid of light. We have to find more light sources, or find a way to create light sources."

Shen Chengxian was at the end of the team. He kept throwing out everything he could catch to delay the opponent: "I can't hold on for much longer. We must speed up!"

There was a hint of urgency in his voice.

Just as they were fleeing quickly, a fork in the road appeared in front of them. Qin Xiaosui chose the road on the left without hesitation, "This way!"

Bailiye frowned, "Are you sure? It would be terrible to get lost in a place like this."

"Of course I am sure!" Qin Xiaosui answered firmly, without any hesitation in her steps.

However, just as they turned the corner, a new group of ghost officials emerged from the darkness and blocked their way.

There was a cold light flashing in the eyes of these ghost officials, and it was obvious that they would not let the invaders go easily.

"Didn't you say to go this way?" Luo Shui complained helplessly.

Qin Xiaosui pouted and said, "Yes, my intuition told me to run this way."

"It looks like we are in trouble." Luo Shui said in a deep voice. She had already gathered magic power in her hands, ready to fight.

Baili Ye took a deep breath, "Let's fight! We can't be caught here!" He waved his weapon and rushed towards the group of ghost officials.

Qin Xiaosui followed closely behind, with a determined look on her face, "I don't want to be caught by these ghosts, I haven't found Jiang Qing yet!"

She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find Jiang Qing and leave this hellhole together.

However, just as they were about to break through the encirclement, a new group of ghost officials emerged from the temple in front of them and blocked their way like ghosts.

"Oh no, we are surrounded!" Shen Chengxian warned loudly, his muscles bulging like a dragon, preparing for the coming battle.

"Don't be afraid, it's just one more breakout!" Luo Shui commanded calmly, her voice revealing a reassuring power.

Ever since Jiang Qing from Frost Cliff City asked her to try to lead the team, she has made great progress.

Baili Ye wielded the Broken Army Cone and took the brunt of the attack against the group of ghost officials. Each of his attacks was accurate and he repelled the ghost officials who were in the front.

Qin Xiaosui followed closely behind. Her movements were agile and swift, never fancy, but with great effect.

In the fierce battle, Qin Xiaosui suddenly had an idea, "Senior Sister Luoshui, do you still remember the maze? Maybe we can use it to deal with these ghost messengers!"

The Ziyun Sect can also be considered a Taoist sect, and Taoist magic has always been the nemesis of ghosts.

A gleam of light flashed in Luo Shui's eyes, "Good idea, let's set up a maze to make these ghost officials kill each other!

Luo Hua, Shen Chengxian, where are you two?"

Luo Hua smiled and said, "You will not forget such a simple spell, but Brother Baili is not from my Ziyun Sect, and there are only four people to set up the maze.

The effect may be only 60%. ”

"That's enough." Luo Shui narrowed his eyes. "We can't kill them all, and there may be an endless supply of ghosts. We just need a chance to escape. After we escape, we must quickly conceal our presence and hide."

"Okay, I'll help you block it for a while."

Baili Ye was temporarily stationed in the front. Under Luo Shui's command, the four of them acted quickly and began to set up the formation.

As the formation was gradually completed, the ghost officials began to fall into confusion, their vision was distorted, and their attacks became aimless.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Xiaosui and his group finally broke through the encirclement of the ghost officials and continued to run forward.

"Cover up your breath!"

Luo Shui transmitted the message.

Until a magnificent hall appeared in their sight, the three big characters on the door plaque shocked everyone's heart.

"That is..." Bailiye gasped, his eyes revealing a hint of shock, "Yama Palace? We actually escaped to Yama Palace!"

The ancient stone pillars of the Yama Hall are carved with intricate patterns and show the vicissitudes of time. The hall door is heavy and the stone statues on both sides are majestic, as if guarding the boundary between life and death.

According to legend, the Hall of Yama is the highest place of judgment in the underworld. All dead souls will eventually be judged by King Yama to determine their fate in the afterlife.

However, the Yama Palace before him seemed unusually quiet and desolate, with the gates tightly closed and no guards around.

"This... is Yama Palace?" Qin Xiaosui's voice was filled with disbelief. "We actually escaped here. Does this mean..."

Her face turned pale.

This is a haunted place!

"Since the ghosts here have disappeared long ago, should we go in and take a look?" Baili Ye looked into the hall with some curiosity.

"I'm afraid we'll have to go in."

Luo Hua suddenly said, "They are chasing us."

I saw dense swarms of ghosts swimming over, like a group of catfish fighting for food, and the space was about to boil.

"Come in, close the door!"

They didn't know whether ordinary houses could resist ghosts, but this Yama Palace was definitely not a place that ordinary ghosts could break into at will.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they quickly entered the Yama Palace. The huge door slowly closed behind them, isolating the gloomy ghost messengers and the biting cold wind outside.

In this mysterious temple, they will be temporarily sheltered, but no one knows what they will face next...

"It's so dark with the door closed..."

Although Qin Xiaosui killed every ghost with one punch, he still hugged Luo Shui's arm in fear.

Dim light filtered in through the tall window frames, illuminating the grandeur and solemnity of the interior of the hall.
