On the Avenue.

Chapter 346 Born as a Human, Become a Ghost after Death
Chen Shi hesitated for a moment and agreed.

He is now a ghost, and there are many inconveniences in the underworld. He may be affected by the inexplicable power of the underworld at any time, and he will follow those ghosts involuntarily, not knowing where to go. Moreover, there are many dangers in the underworld, and he really needs help. As for running errands for the East Palace, he will definitely not do it.

Pengju led the way, and the two followed the mountain mist. They saw strips of white mist flowing along the ground between the Yin Mountains, and people walking along the mist on every road.

These people are ghosts, in a daze, controlled by a mysterious force, and walking tirelessly in the same direction.

Pengju's wings were injured and he could not flap his wings to fly, so the two of them walked on the edge of the road.

These ghosts are often those who died unjustly and will not appear in the Yuanchen Palace. Instead, they will become wandering ghosts and be dragged into the underworld.

Chen Shi suddenly recalled that when he followed his grandfather Chen Yindu out to attend the Moon Festival in his early years, he saw that the wandering ghosts in a village were not drawn to the underworld. He didn't know the reason before, but now he finally figured it out.

The thirteen families fought for power in the underworld and fought to the death with the Ten Kings of Hell, which led to the dereliction of duty of the underworld. As a result, many wandering ghosts were not extradited to the underworld.

"Where is the Eastern Palace?" Chen Shi asked.

Peng Ju said: "The East Palace is where the prince lives."

Chen Shi suddenly realized: "So you are working in the palace of Prince Yama. Which prince of Yama are you?"

Peng Ju was puzzled: "The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is of course the Crown Prince of Tianchi. What is the Crown Prince of Yama you are talking about?"

Chen Shi asked in confusion: "You don't know the Ten Courts of Hell? You don't know the Eighteen Levels of Hell?"

Pengju shook his head: "What is hell? Who is Yama?"

Chen Shi explained the Ten Yama Palaces and the Eighteen Hells, saying, "There are ten Yama Palaces in the Ten Yama Palaces, each guarding a different hell. The Eighteen Hells have their own Hades, judges, ghost commanders, and ghost messengers, who are responsible for leading the ghosts of the dead to hell, judging them according to their crimes, and making them accept punishment."

Pengju was extremely surprised and said, "There are such places as the Eighteen Hells in the underworld? I have never heard of it. Are the status of the Ten Kings of Hell higher than that of our Tianchi King? Impossible. Our Tianchi Kingdom is extremely vast and is the largest country in Yinshan!"

Chen Shi was even more surprised than him.

In Chen Shi’s impression, the underworld should be entirely under the control of the underworld, but it is obvious that Tianchi Kingdom is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld!
The ghosts here have never even heard of the existence of the underworld.

Suddenly, Chen Shi was in a trance, Pengju quickly grabbed him, and Chen Shi woke up, only to find himself walking in the group of ghosts again. He couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of power is this? Why does it always pull me and make me walk over there involuntarily?"

He had experienced this strange power before when he died. Only when he was in a state of death would he be summoned by this power. If he went against it, it would feel like he was walking on a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, which was extremely difficult.

And if the monk is still alive, he will not be attracted by this force, and he may not even realize that there is such a force in the underworld.

Pengju stopped and felt around in the mist. Suddenly he touched a skull. He was overjoyed and grabbed the skull and lifted it up.

A complete skeleton stood up along with the skull.

"Chen Shi, you are possessed by this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi took a step forward, and his soul attached itself to the white skeleton.

In just a moment, he completed the possession and was able to move freely.

He raised his hands, watching his finger bones move according to his will, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, opening his mouth and letting out a "dededede" sound.

Pengju asked with concern: "Can you still feel that pulling force now?"

Chen Shi sensed carefully and indeed could not sense that power.

"How do you know that ghost possession can be freed from this power?"

Pengju said, "Demons often possess dead things like this. Some monks also like to attach themselves to skeletons and run around. They are often merchants who do business with us."

Chen Shi was very surprised and thought, "There are actually human monks doing business with ghosts. I wonder who they are... Oh, right, we can ask Shao Jing to open the Juxian Building here. Maybe it will be a good business. But this business needs a dead person to manage it."

He ran as fast as he could, suddenly leaped up, and performed a series of flying kicks in the air to test the flexibility of this body.

I have to say that the skeleton's body is extremely flexible. Its thighs can rotate along its hips without worrying about breaking its legs. Its head can also rotate at will. It can rip off two ribs and stab people without worrying about getting injured!
Chen Shi can even take off his other arm and use it to beat others!
You can also use the twenty-eight knuckles of your ten fingers as bone swords and shoot them out to assassinate the enemy!

"It's great to be a skeleton!"

Chen Shi was so happy that he fell from the air. With a crack, his left leg was broken.

"But this body is too weak." Chen Shi shook his head.

This skeleton had been in the underworld for too long, causing it to decay and become full of holes, unable to withstand his torment.

Pengju hurried over, removed his left leg, threw it into the mist, fumbled in the mist for a while, took out another dry bone from the mist, compared it with Chen Shi's right leg, and found that it was a little short.

He took out a few left leg bones and finally found one that was almost as high as Chen Shi's right leg. Only then did he help Chen Shi install his left leg.

Chen Shi hurriedly thanked him and said with a smile: "Pengju, you are really good at taking care of ghosts."

Peng Ju said hesitantly, "I'm used to being a ghost in the East Palace, and when I get home I have to take care of my sister. This time I went out, and I told my sister I would be back in three days, but now I've been delayed for two days, let's go back quickly!"

Chen Shi followed his footsteps and tried to activate the Blood Lake Sutra. Suddenly, streams of blood-colored air came from nowhere and rushed into his body, seeping into his soul, nourishing his three souls and seven spirits, nourishing his soul, and even strengthening his "body"!
Pengju looked over in surprise. Before he could figure out the Blood Lake Sutra, Chen Shi had already mastered it.

As the Blood Lake Scripture circulated, Chen Shi silently recited the divine language.

"Guan Jue is luxuriant, Tai Ming Zi Ling. Nine gods save souls and open up Yu Zhen. A Yi is bright and bright, Fei Tian Liu Yin... Six changes in luck, and all evil sins are eliminated. Restore the crown of Xuan Mo, and become an immortal!"

After reciting the divine language, blood began to flow behind Chen Shi's head, forming an irregular circle behind his head.

Inside the circle was a pool of blood.

A strange power from the pool of blood flowed into his body, constantly tempering him.

In just a few moments, Chen Shi's bones looked shiny and bright, and he felt that the energy and blood that had been depleted in his soul had been replenished!

Chen Shi let out a light exclamation. The Blood Lake Scripture might seem ordinary, but its improvement on the primordial spirit seemed to be no weaker than that of the Xiaolang Emperor's Chapter!

The Xiaolang Emperor Chapter is mainly for improving the primordial spirit, while the Xuehu Sutra is mainly for improving the soul. The two techniques have very different focuses!

"The primordial spirit evolved from the primordial infant. When the primordial infant is cultivated to a certain size, it can become compatible with the soul and evolve into the primordial spirit. Therefore, the cultivation route of the Yang world is to cultivate the primordial infant part, which does not have such a great impact on the improvement of the soul. But the practice method of the underworld seems to be just the opposite, mainly cultivating the soul." Chen Shi thought to himself.

While activating the Blood Lake Sutra, he explained it to Pengju.

After half a day, Pengju finally understood this technique thoroughly and tried to practice it. However, he had never practiced it before, relying on the power in his blood. This was his first time practicing. Chen Shi was not bored at all and taught him little by little how to focus his mind, how to awaken the Taiming Purple Spirit, and how to use the Nine Gods to save his soul.

It took him several hours to get Pengju to practice the technique.

Chen Shi instructed him to practice it several times, and when he had mastered it thoroughly, he smiled and said, "The technique passed down from your ancestors is definitely not bad, it is a good technique."

"Really?" Pengju's eyes sparkled.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I wouldn't say my vision is the best in the underworld, but in the world of the living, it's one of the best!"

The two of them practiced the Blood Lake Sutra while traveling. Chen Shi felt that his soul and skeleton were getting stronger and stronger, and secretly praised the magic of this technique. Pengju's progress was also very fast. The Blood Lake Sutra could not only strengthen his soul, but also stimulate the blood power in his body, making his body stronger and stronger.

As the power of his bloodline increased, the wound on his wings gradually healed.

During this period, they walked through more than a dozen mountains. The roads paved with fog were interconnected, and many ghosts were walking on the roads. After Chen Shi had a skeleton body, it was no problem even if he went against the flow. He was no longer tortured by climbing mountains of swords and diving into seas of fire.

"If you're not possessed, even taking one step backwards would be extremely difficult!"

Chen Shi watched as dozens of white fog roads converged into a highway. Thousands of souls were walking on this road and heading towards the distance. He felt curious and wanted to follow these ghosts to see what force was pulling them.

"I'm not strong enough now. I'll go find out after I've cultivated my soul to be stronger!"

Chen Shi withdrew his gaze and quickly followed Pengju.

He saw that the trees in the Yin Mountains were locust trees, which were extremely tall, with bird's nest-shaped houses hanging on the trees. There were often dozens of such bird's nest houses on one tree, forming a village.

Many underworld creatures similar to Pengju flapped their wings and flew in and out of these houses.

When Chen Shi passed by these villages, strange bird-beaked people would come out of the bird's nest houses, fold their wings, and look at them sideways, as if they were very curious about them.

Chen Shi asked Pengju and found out that they were the Cuckoo Tribe, which, like the Ox-Headed, Horse-Faced, and Yaksha Tribes, was a large race in the underworld. However, because they were not strong and had reproduced too much, their status was not high.

In the Yin Mountains, tall locust trees stand tall, towering between the mountains or on the top of the mountains, and villages of cuckoos are located one after another.

Many ghosts passed through the mountains, but the cuckoos ignored them.

Suddenly, a village of cuckoos became restless, and many cuckoos jumped to the edge of the houses and looked in the same direction.

Chen Shi was looking up, not knowing what had happened. Pengju's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly pulled him aside and stood on the mountain outside the road.

In the distance, fog was coming, and laughter came from the fog, and soon the fog engulfed them.

Chen Shi's eyes widened as he saw huge claws reaching out from the mist, grabbing a ghost, lifting the ghost up, and shrinking it into the mist.

Then many strange hands stretched out and grabbed the ghosts on the road, and long scarlet tongues flew over and wrapped around the ghosts.

It seemed as if there were many voracious gluttons hidden in the fog, devouring these ghosts at will.

Chen Shi was shocked when he saw this scene.

"This is not Yinshan Mountain, this is Qianyang Mountain!"

He suddenly realized that he had seen a similar situation before. He had seen a similar situation when he was crushed to death by the green ghost hand!

At that time, he was nearly eaten by these monsters in the fog!

"So, I'm still in Qianyang Mountain!"

“It might even be not far from Huangpo Village!”

But is Qianyang Mountain so vast in the underworld?
According to Grandma Sha’s geographical map of the nine regions of the underworld, the scale of Qianyang Mountain in the underworld is probably far smaller than that of Yin Mountain!

"Qianyang, Yinshan, Yin and Yang..."

A thought flashed through Chen Shi’s mind that the relationship between Qianyang Mountain and Yin Mountain might not correspond to the geography of the Yin and Yang worlds!

However, he did not have time to think too much. His heart was filled with anger, and he rushed onto the white mist road without thinking. He raised his hand and activated the fourth new talisman. The Zhoutian Fire Realm roared and spun, flew out of his arm, and turned into a size of several acres, and went towards a rugged claw.

"call out!"

The Zhoutian Fire Realm was spinning, burning the jagged claws into charcoal, and burning forward along the thick forelimbs, illuminating the monster in the mist. With a whoosh, the forelimbs of the ghost-headed monster lying on all fours on the ground were burned into ashes!

The monster showed a horrified expression as it looked at Chen Shi, the small white skeleton.

There was a flash of lightning under Chen Shi's feet. The next moment, he arrived in front of the monster's forehead and punched it. The monster's huge skull caved in and it fell to the ground with a bang, with its brains spilling all over the floor!
"What are you doing?" Pengju asked loudly.

"It eats people!" Chen Shi was still furious.

"Those are animals raised by ghosts and gods!"

Pengju was terrified and said quickly, "You are in trouble!"

Chen Shi said angrily: "The animals he raised are eating our ghosts!"

"That's what the underworld is like!"

Pengju rushed to his side, pulled him and tried to fly up into the sky, saying quickly, "You ghosts who have fallen into the underworld are like grass, always being eaten. It has been like this since ancient times."

"Is it always like this?"

Chen Shi was carried up by him, feeling a little sad, and exerted force with his arms. Peng Ju did not fly up, and could not help but get angry: "It has always been like this! When you become ghosts, you are no longer human! You are pasture grass! Come with me! The ghosts of pasture are coming!"

Chen Shi remained motionless and withdrew his hand.

"I won't leave. I have never been afraid since I was born as a human being."

Pengju was slightly startled, and then he heard the light but powerful voice of the little skeleton, "I will become a ghost after I die, so why should I be afraid?"

"I want to see who dares to treat our human race as grass!"

————I’m sick. After taking medicine, I felt drowsy and couldn’t concentrate. I almost fell asleep. There may only be one chapter tomorrow. Sorry.
