Started from practicing sword in the countryside of the second dimension

He had never seen the other party take out this fan before the lunar war. Its sudden appearance now made all the gods and generals wonder if the other party had taken out a lot of things and thrown them into her space during the days he was trapped on the moon.

"You think too highly of me. Even if it were me, um... it probably wouldn't work, right?"

All the gods were about to say that even he couldn't do it, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not completely impossible.

If it was the conceptual underworld in myths and legends, he would definitely not be able to do it with his level.

But if it was just a transit station responsible for handling the reincarnation of surrounding souls, he might actually be able to do something.

However, rather than saying that he has a good relationship with Yama and can be flexible, it is more like showing Yama what a fist as big as a casserole is. If Yama is not flexible, he will have to see the power of the fist.

[Bang]

Just when Yakumo Yukari was about to say something, there was a loud bang of something falling suddenly heard from somewhere near her.

This made her expression darken while putting on a very fake smile.

"It seems that Lan still needs to be disciplined. As my Shikigami, he is still doing stupid things to attract the master's attention."

"I think she was just playing."

"In that case, you need more training... Excuse me, please excuse me for a moment."

As Yakumo Yukari's figure disappeared in the gap, Kaishin General silently prayed for Yakumo Aoi, hoping that she could still see the sun tomorrow.

"Then... let's observe the underground first."

Although when Kaishin Shōomi first told Yakumo Yukari, he didn't care much about the so-called underworld.

But after learning the information, he felt as if he could really do something.

However, in this era, the idea that hell should be underground seems a bit strange.

Perhaps it is because of this kind of thinking that one can really go all the way down to hell.

"Just go down, right? Then I'll see how far I can go."

Although the blood of the generals and ministers of the gods will usually seep into the ground, it will not seep too far, because it is useless to get it very deep.

Even if you want to create blood-colored soil blocks, it is more convenient to use the layer that is accessible to the surface.

But this time, for the purpose of exploration, he let the blood flow directly from his fingertips, and then manipulated the blood to make it rotate continuously like a drill.

After the blood drill reaches a certain speed, let the direction of the blood drill go downward, like a drilling rig, and let the blood drill continue to extend underground.

"It should be easier to do this if both ends are in contact."

There was a risk of being discovered if there was only a single connection to the underworld, so when letting the blood flow downwards, the general let the blood flow out of the other arm as well.

However, the blood on this hand did not flow downwards, but upwards, extending towards the gap above where Yakumo Yukari was fixing, which was the direction where the Westward Journey Demon was located.

A moment later, the blood touched the Journey to the West.

Just like in the past, the thought of death of the Journey to the West was transmitted through the blood, and again, just like in the past, it had no effect at all.

The next target is the underworld.

All the gods and ministers remained silent, exploring carefully underground, going further down.

Hard work pays off, after persisting for more than half an hour.

All the gods and generals finally felt a very strange breath, which was completely unlike the existence of a living person, at an unknown number of meters underground.

He took the opportunity to connect the two through blood.

Chapter 136: New Skin of the Journey to the West

Through this indirect contact, all the gods and generals believed that even if the people in the underworld found out that someone had come to their door, they would think that it was a soul from the Journey to the West.

It's very easy to get rid of yourself.

"I see. I understand. I understand..."

Taking advantage of this time, Kaishin Jōchen opened the reincarnation method he had obtained from Hieda Al before, and while reading it, he was thinking about how to use this reincarnation method.

His main purpose now is actually just to prevent the soul in the Westward Journey Monster from being trapped inside.

The problem is that even though these souls are now connected to the underworld and have registered in the Netherworld, this does not mean that they have truly escaped from the Journey to the West. It is just that with the addition of the gods and generals as the intermediary, an awkward situation has occurred where they have arrived in theory but not in reality.

"The key is to allow those souls to have freedom... Since there is no way to get them away from the Westward Journey Demon, perhaps we can change our thinking and turn the Westward Journey Demon into a world where they will not feel restricted and can live freely."

All the gods and generals observed the spirits in the Westward Journey Monster's body, paying special attention to whether they still had their own independent consciousness.

After looking around, he found that his consciousness had almost dissipated, and only the will to die, like the Journey to the West monster, remained.

Although there is still some common sense in life and things that are very important to the spirit itself.

But that's all. In fact, most of the spirits can hardly speak a normal word, and their minds are full of the words "die, die, die" instilled in them by the Journey to the West Demon.

The problem is that even so, they survived normally and did not die from it.

To all gods and generals, such spirits are also considered human beings.

Because normally a soul like this could have become an ordinary person after reincarnation, but the Journey to the West Demon cut off his hope.

"First, we need to eliminate the influence of the Westward Journey Monster, and then build a system similar to a transfer station."

Thinking in this way, the general of all gods let his blood flow continuously into the trunk of the Westward Journey Monster as if it were pouring back.

In a short while, the branches of the entire Journey to the West tree were filled with the blood of all the gods and generals. At the same time, according to Hieda Al's reincarnation method, he began to create a device that could allow these spirits to reincarnate.

At first, all the gods and generals failed.

It was harder to engrave this fancy stuff than he thought, and the Journey to the West monster was very uncooperative.

As for why Journey to the West, a monster cherry tree with no ideas of its own, did not cooperate, it was simply because after the talisman patterns with similar effects were engraved on the surface of the Journey to the West, the Journey to the West would make these "talismans" die and become completely ineffective.

But fortunately, after some thought, the generals and ministers of the gods found a solution.

In fact, it is very simple. After all, the gods and generals themselves will not be affected by the demon from the west, so the thing that engraves the talisman just needs to be the same as him and not be affected by the demon from the west.

Therefore, after all the busy work, all the gods and generals ruthlessly stretched a large piece of their skin, so that this layer of skin could firmly cover the outside of the Westward Journey Monster like a protective shell.

After that, he severed the connection between his skin and his flesh, making this skin become the skin that once belonged to him.

Afterwards, all the gods and generals engraved a lot of messy and fancy things on these skins.

He actually had a hard time understanding what corresponded to what, so he almost copied it according to the records left by Hieda Al.

But he didn't care that he couldn't understand it, as long as it was useful.

And it's just like a program. If the program runs normally, don't worry too much about it and just keep it running normally and stably.

"Although according to the records, we should do something to the reincarnated body... but we don't have the conditions to do so."

This condition is impossible.

After all, there are so many spirits in the body of the Westward Journey Monster, how could it be possible to make arrangements for each of them?

Besides, since they cannot leave the Journey to the West demon, they cannot leave their bodies and drill into a free flesh body.

"In that case, then there is no need for an ordinary body."

In the cave, the general Ji Shen picked some mushrooms that grew with his blood, and planted them around the roots of the Journey to the West, allowing them to grow together with the Journey to the West.

Theoretically, this kind of mushroom is the future residence prepared by the gods and generals for these spirits.

After all, the so-called reincarnation is OK as long as there is a place that can accommodate the souls and prevent them from escaping.

Without a body, a pure soul wouldn't take up much space.

"Perhaps we can create a mixture of the real world and dreams... How did the Moon City do it before?"

If one wants to prevent the area where the Journey to the West Demon Ship is located from being detected by newborn spirits, the dream world is obviously a very good choice.

Especially since the generals of all the gods had just witnessed in the Moon City not long ago the method of hiding the entire Moon City in a dream.

But this was too much of a stretch for the gods and their ministers; it was like wanting to run to the sky before even learning to walk.

Afterwards, he began to try to use the Hieda-style reincarnation method on several spirits within the Journey to the West monster, causing them to reincarnate and squeeze into the scattered mushrooms like sardines.

To be honest, he felt that the effect was not very good.

The new spirit that was reborn in the mushroom didn't look much different from the original, except for a bit of curiosity, and would move on its own without anyone's instructions.

At this moment, strange fluctuations came from the underworld.

It seems that the people there have realized that something is wrong, have noticed the tricks played by the gods and generals, and are taking steps to deal with it.

But it doesn't matter now. The initial contact between the two sides is the main purpose of all the gods and generals. After that, it doesn't matter.

"After that, we have to mainly build the dream world... and make the real world similar, so the spirits should have some freedom."

Seeing that the new spirit can take initiative, the most basic goal of all the gods and generals has been achieved.

He managed to prevent these new spirits from being affected by the Journey to the West's own embrace of death.

There is also active movement... Even though it is just a slight movement, this slight movement can be regarded as a huge progress from 0 to 1.

These spirits that lost interest in everything after being attracted by the Journey to the West monster had long lost their ability to respond to the outside world and were able to think actively and move selectively like they do now.

Before it was released, it was an act that I couldn't even think of.

Especially since this is only the first attempt, the chosen spirit itself does not have many memories left, and now it acts entirely on instinct.

After several generations of iteration, it should be possible to return to the normal human level.

Chapter 137 Mushroom Man

"What a nice mansion! Did Yakumo Yukari get it from there?"

After taking care of some details, the generals and ministers of the gods took the opportunity to stroll around the Journey to the West.

Mainly on the side of the Journey to the West, a huge mansion appeared at some point.

Considering that this thing definitely couldn't have been produced by the Journey to the West monster itself, it must have been obtained by Yakumo Yukari from somewhere.

"Even if it was Zi, she wouldn't be so excessive... I asked her to get this for me."

As a person who has basically settled on the Sailing Demon Ship, Sailing Temple Youyouko seems to have adapted to the life here. When Kaishin General Chen came over, she was sitting on the corridor drinking tea.

"You asked her for help? Does that mean this is the house you originally lived in?"

Considering that it is absolutely impossible for Yuyuko Saigyouji to take away someone else's house like a robber, this mansion can only be her former residence.

"I lived here a few years ago, but it was abandoned later due to various reasons, so I asked for help. I didn't expect Zi to actually bring it to me."

This mansion is a very typical Japanese mansion, with a long corridor connecting the whole, a main house, several side halls, guest rooms, storage rooms and a courtyard with a pool.

The only difference is the wall. Originally, such a mansion needs to be surrounded by a wall.

But the wall on this Journey to the West has no meaning at all.

After all, there is nothing but the void beyond the boundary, and jumping down is basically equivalent to challenging a single entity to penetrate into the atmosphere.

No matter what method someone uses to get to this place, don't expect the wall to work on him.

Therefore, if you sit in the atrium, you can actually see the entire Journey to the West in the distance.

"What about the people who were originally in the mansion?"

"When my father went to look for the Westward Journey Demon and never came back, most of the people in the house had already left. Plus, I've been gone for so long... Look, there aren't many things left in the house. There used to be a vase over there that I really liked."

Yuyuko Saigyouji pointed to a place where there was an obvious mark on the ground next to her. There was an area with a clear color difference from the left and right. It should be a mark left by something that had been placed there for a long time and then taken away.

"You took a lot? But overall it's okay..."

The generals and ministers looked around and felt that there were traces of things being taken away in various places in the mansion.

But there are still many things preserved, and it is not the case that the house is completely bare.

"After all, most people still don't want to have anything to do with the Journey to the West... "

"…………I see."

Saigyouji Yuyuko didn't explain it very clearly, but Kaishinjochen understood it after thinking about it.

The story of Master Saigyo and Youyouzi of Saigyoji going to search for the Saigyo Demon should be very famous in their local area.

Even if no one lives in the mansion, due to various reasons, especially the power of gods and demons in this era, many people dare not openly take things from their mansions, for fear of being cursed or something.

That being said, the only items that survived were those that were bulky, required a lot of effort to remove, or would attract attention.
