Mystery Leaks

Chapter 311
I saw a person floating behind at some point, his eyes were empty, his body was translucent, stained with mottled blood, and turned black.

Taking a closer look, this is not a person, but a piece of human skin!
Complete human skin!
It floated in mid-air, staring down at me with empty eye sockets.

"Fuck!"

I exclaimed, Didi Liu activated the nine-star wheel in an instant; what the hell, eat me a fire python.

When the people in front heard the voice, they hurriedly turned their heads, their faces changed.

"Don't do it!" Sai Yuer and Wang Jian'an said in unison.

I was taken aback, and hurriedly withdrew the power of Yuanyang, the nine-star wheel that had already glowed gradually dimmed, and rotated at a low speed.

"What's going on?" I retreated to them.

This thing was so weird that it didn't make a sound at all, and when it got three or five steps away from itself, it almost scared the soul away when it turned around.

"Is this a ghost?" Cao Nan's eyelids twitched wildly.

"Not a ghost."

Sai Yuer shook her head slightly, and said: "This is the ghost of the deceased attached to the human skin. It smelled the yang energy, was attracted by the yang energy, and followed you."

I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and completely stopped the Nine Star Wheel. No wonder there were so many people, it just stared at me. It turned out that it was caused by dead souls.

"Judging from the blood on the corpse, it matches the time of the previous intruder. It should be one of those people. Sure enough, something ominous happened, even the skin was peeled off." Huang Mao said.

"What the hell likes to skin people? The group of people who robbed the tomb a year ago were skinned." I asked curiously, always feeling that this hobby is too weird.

Wang Jian'an looked at me, and slowly uttered three words: "Skinner."

"Skinning ghost?" I frowned slightly, I know skinning, but the question is, why does it like to skin people?

"A kind of ghost soldier from the skinning hell of the underworld!" Seeing that I was puzzled, Sai Yuer said suddenly.

"what?!"

"From hell?!"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Nan and I were taken aback.

There was a wave of rivers and waves in my heart. I had a faint feeling before that the underworld seemed to have meddled in the tricks of Jinpen Township. As time went by, this feeling became more and more obvious.

I am clearly alive and kicking, but in the book of life and death in the underworld, I have already reached the end of my lifespan, and the ghosts tried to hook my soul again and again, and even the bull's head was dispatched, almost destroying the foundation of the thunderstorm formation in the shop .

Although the impermanent ghost messenger who was captured alive said that King Ba had bribed them, but I always feel that things are not that simple.

The contract between humans and ghosts has expired, and the behavior of both humans and ghosts will lose the restraint of the bottom line. No one knows what choice the underworld, a huge and terrifying force, will make.

It's like I always feel that there is a force inside the Zongji Office just around the corner.When the "devil" loses its shackles, something big will happen.

Now, there are traces of the skinning ghost here again!
Before Mrs. Jindi was suspicious of the tomb, she encountered a skinning ghost and was stabbed by me. Later, she went to the third uncle's family to take revenge on me, and was beaten out of my wits by our design.

I thought the flaying ghosts were dead, but I never thought that they were not one, but a group, and they ran out of hell.

From this point of view, the Skinners were the ones who took away Grandpa's empty coffin from the tomb robber, at least they were involved.

"How could this thing come to Yangjian?" Huangmao asked in surprise.

"Either, he escaped from hell, or..." Wang Jian'an finally said, shaking his head, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

"Either they were released." Sai Yuer took up the conversation.

My heart skipped a beat.

The incident in Jinpen Township seems to be getting more and more involved. At the beginning, it was just a few fake corpses and a few scary little ghosts.

Now we can easily deal with it, but as the investigation deepened, we discovered that this vortex is getting bigger and deeper, and it seems that all forces have extended their hands into Jinpen Township.

Some of them are active, and some are lurking. On the surface, the waves are calm, but the invisible dark place is full of undercurrents, and all forces have their own plans.

"Yincao Difu, should be the place where you know the secrets of Jinpen Mountain the most?" After thinking about it, I couldn't help asking curiously.

If there is any power with the longest inheritance, who can compare to the underworld?
Since the birth of civilization in the East, the legend of the underworld has existed. It is in charge of the cycle of life and death, and the order of yin and yang, which has existed longer than any dynasty in the world.

In the end, Sai Yuer shook her head: "They must know a lot, but they won't go much."

"Aren't they the longest inheritance?" I asked strangely.

"Because the underworld is also the place where the Dharma-ending era was born." Wang Jian'an said, and then explained, "In the age of mythology, the gods directly controlled the order of reincarnation. As for how they reincarnated, I am afraid no one knows now; after the world entered the Dharma-ending age, the gods Not present in the human world, the order of reincarnation is missing, so the ghost clan took over the order of reincarnation, forming the current underworld."

I was shocked. It turned out to be like this. The underworld did not exist in the age of mythology, and the gods had another set of reincarnation laws and institutions.

"Besides, the underworld is not a system of eternal life. It is no different from the feudal dynasty in Yangjian. It will also change. I heard the news a while ago that there was turmoil in the underworld. The reason is unknown. It is said that tens of thousands of ghosts and ghosts were scattered." Sai Yuer Also said.

The four of me, Hu Lai, Huang Mao, and Cao Nan exchanged a look, which meant something serious happened.

"Then who is in charge of the current underworld?" After thinking about it, I asked curiously.

It is too fresh to say that the underworld will change power just like the feudal dynasty.

But when you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem unreasonable.Because people and ghosts are actually the same in essence, they both have desires, and if there are desires, there will be conflicts of interests, and if there are conflicts of interests, there will be conflicts.

Little ghosts and ghosts in the underworld, who wouldn't want to sit in the seat of the king of Hades in the Ten Palaces?

What does the Ten Palaces of Hades represent?
eternal life!

They are immortal, live the same life as the heaven and the earth, stand high above, and don't have to suffer from the cycle of life and death.

Princes and generals have a kindness, this sentence is suitable for the world of the sun, and it is also suitable for the world of the underworld.

"The current underworld is vaguely divided into three factions. One is the orthodox faction headed by the ghost emperor Zhong Kui, the other is the new faction headed by the ghost king Li Qing, and the other faction has a connection with Buddhism, and the leader is the ghost king Ksitigarbha." Wang Jianan said .

I grew my mouth, and besides Li Qing, I have heard of Zhong Kui and Di Zang.

Zhong Kui is said to be a very powerful Taoist priest in the era of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty. He was definitely a practitioner. It is said that he went to the underworld to be a judge after his death.

But looking at it now, he was "promoted" and became the ghost emperor in charge of the underworld.

And Ksitigarbha is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
It is said that it was originally a big Buddha in Yangjian, and later made a great wish and went to the purgatory of the underworld, vowing, "Hell is not empty, so I vow not to become a Buddha."

Many treacherous and evil people who know that they will go to hell after death will worship Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, hoping that after death they will be able to suffer less in the hell controlled by Ksitigarbha.

The information about Zhong Kui and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the legend seems confusing at first, but when it comes out of Wang Jian'an's mouth, it is connected in an instant.

"I'll go, Taoism and Buddhism have a lot of influence in the underworld!" Huang Mao was also very surprised, and said: "Zhong Kui and Ksitigarbha were both famous Taoist priests and eminent monks in the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect to go to the underworld after death. Forced, the underworld has already been divided into two-thirds by them."

Sai Yu'er said slowly: "They all lived to the end of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it happened to be the third Dharma-ending tide. They were already very powerful practitioners in Yangjian. If they didn't want to, the underworld wouldn't dare to seduce them." His soul should have reached some kind of compromise with the underworld and entered the underworld to become an official."

"Then what's the background of that Li Qing?" Cao Nan asked quickly, these news are simply too novel, making us like curious babies.

"Li Qing's background is very mysterious, and we don't have any specific information about him at present. It was originally a ghost king lurking in Yangjian. Later, in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the Qing army went south and slaughtered five or six towns in Yangzhou, Jiading, etc. The city caused resentful souls to spread everywhere, filled with resentment, and the hundreds of thousands of dead souls turned into ghosts one after another. Li Qing took the opportunity to revolt and led these souls to attack the underworld. It is said that they smashed four halls in a row and hit the fifth hall of King Yama. The two sides were in a stalemate. For a time, the underworld was in chaos, and the ghost emperor came forward and recruited Li Qing and hundreds of thousands of ghosts under his command, so Li Qing became a ghost king in the underworld and ruled over one side, and the hundreds of thousands of ghosts under his command also escaped reincarnation and became ghost soldiers." Said Sai Yu'er spoke eloquently.

"Damn it, it's a blockhouse!" Cao Nan's blood boiled when he heard that, and said, "This Li Qing has the guts to attack even the underworld."

I was also very surprised when I heard it. I thought that the underworld was static, but it turned out that the top of the city is also changing. There are also uprisings, compromises, and recruiting.It is no different from the feudal dynasty in the ancient Yangjian.

"If that's the case, it seems that the relationship between the underworld and the ghost clan in Yangjian will not be very good." Hu Lai, who had been silent all this time, asked thoughtfully.

"That's for sure."

Wang Jian'an nodded and said: "Most of the ten halls of Yan Luo in the underworld became ghost kings after death, and then they went to the underworld to gain a place. For the underworld, the ghost kings scattered in the underworld are the source of turmoil. Once there is a large-scale war in the underworld, They'll take advantage of it."

Sai Yu'er said: "So, the underworld actually has the same tacit understanding as the Yang world, that is, we don't want the world to be in chaos, because the chaos in the world will give the scattered ghost kings an opportunity to take advantage of it, endangering not only the rule of the world, but also the rule of the underworld; Because of this, the ghost race is actually suppressed by the tacit cooperation between the Yin and Yang realms."

My eyes were wide open, and I instinctively thought of the ghost clan forces formed by King Ba and Ghost King. They are constantly seizing the coffins of those very powerful beings, is it just to strengthen their own strength?
If so, what happened to Lu Ningxiang, who had cooperated with them before but was obviously not on the same path?
The water here doesn't seem to be that deep.
