Perhaps because people can feel the powerful existence more after death, the souls of the dead are more enthusiastic about worshiping gods than when they were alive.
There is only the Temple of the God in the city of Fusei for worship, so there are people lining up here from morning to night, wanting to enter the temple to worship the gods of the underworld.
The dead souls are not allowed to light incense, but instead perform three kneels and nine kowtows. They also offer some underworld food, treasures, etc., in the hope that the gods can be moved by their sincerity and realize their wishes.
Most of the residents of the City of Wasted Death are people who died unexpectedly before their life span was over in the human world. They cannot be reincarnated immediately. They need to stay in the underworld for a period of time before it is their turn to be reincarnated.
In the past, there was no city of wasted death in the underworld. People who died unexpectedly could only become lonely ghosts, wandering in the world or in the underworld, being cultivated by people with good intentions, cultivating and offering sacrifices to the underworld, or being eaten by soul-eating monsters. Lose.
The lonely soul and wild ghost have been so miserable for thousands of years, and their resentment is soaring. Heaven secretly supports a powerful lonely soul, the lonely soul of destiny, to come to the underworld and build the City of Wasted Death to take in the lonely ghost. Ghosts, let them have a place in the underworld.
Because of this meritorious deeds, this lonely soul of destiny became the divine king of Wusi City, the one enshrined in the temple of the divine king.
Those who die in vain have to wait until the dead ghosts are reincarnated and there is space before they can go. Even if their human life is over, there may not be space for reincarnation and they have to wait in the city.
Mortals cannot practice in the human world, become ghosts after death, and cannot practice the underworld. If they do not wait for the opportunity to be reincarnated, their souls will gradually dissipate, become thinner and thinner, and finally turn into soul energy in the underworld. , becoming nourishment for other souls.
There is also a difference between people with thick souls and people with thin souls. People with thick souls can break through the six realms and enter the human realm, and even obtain spiritual roots in the next life, with the hope of ascending to immortality. People with thin souls cannot make it through and are likely to surrender. Adult mosquitoes, flies, and livestock are slaughtered by humans and re-entered into reincarnation, and their chances of becoming adults are even smaller.
Therefore, the biggest wish of the residents of Wusi City is to be reincarnated as soon as possible, and to be reincarnated into a good child, even better if it has spiritual roots.
Tang Yue and Lu Lingyi are also queuing up. They want to enter the Palace of the Gods first to see if there is any antidote. Queuing up is the least disruptive option.
Suddenly there was a noise in the front, and a man's roar came, "Why do you have this mark, so you can be reincarnated before others? I will cut off your hand today, and this mark will be mine." "
After a moment, another man screamed, "My hand! "
The soul state can also be injured, especially when the souls attack each other, so one ghost can cut off another. A ghost's hand.
"Hahaha, this way I can be reincarnated." But the ghost who chopped off the ghost's hand did not feel proud for long. The Rakshasa statue in front of the temple suddenly came to life and instantly moved in front of the male ghost.
"Those who hurt ghosts in the underworld, behead them!" After saying this, the evil Rakshasa demon drew his sword and chopped off the head of the male ghost who committed the crime. In an instant, the man's soul was gone.
The Rakshasa picked up the hand of another male ghost on the ground, connected it to his broken arm, and the hand grew back.
The man hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Thank you, Rakshasa Priest. Thank you, Rakshasa Priest."
The Rakshasa Hungry Ghost didn't say much, turned into a ray of light, flew back to the entrance of the Divine Lord Palace, and became The stone statue standing in front of the Temple of the God.
Now the person with evil intentions in the team became more honest, and the team became much quieter.
Tang Yue asked the man standing in front of her, "Brother, why did the previous ghost want the hand of another ghost? Everyone was warned not to do evil when they entered the city, why is he still acting like this in front of the Divine Lord Palace? How are you doing? "
"It seems that you are new here and don't know what has happened recently in Wusi City. In the past six months, a group of new ghosts have come here, and they all have marks on their wrists. They are reincarnated before others, and they will have great blessings in the next life, and they will surely become dragons and phoenixes.
Lu Lingyi thought this was strange and asked: "Excuse me, brother, they are all virtuous people. Is that why you are treated favorably? "
The younger brother waved his hand, "How can a person who has merit and protects his body die in vain? I heard that they all died from a strange vine that could take away people's vitality. Then after they entered the underworld, they found that they had this mark on their hands. When they entered the city to register, the priest saw the mark and said that they You can reincarnate directly. "
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, couldn't this vine be the dark vine in Wuji Mountain? The people queuing up were put into the temple in batches. Tang Yue found an opportunity to meet the man with the severed hand. Someone asked, "Are you also from Wuji Mountain? "
The Broken Hand Brother saw that the person he was talking to was a little girl who had not yet grown up, so he lowered his guard and said, "Yes, you are also from Wuji Mountain? Did he also die from that ghost vine? "
Tang Yue shook his head, "I died of illness, not from the strange vines in Wuji Mountain. "
"That's a pity, you can't reincarnate as soon as possible. "The little brother shook his head and sighed. This girl has picturesque features. If she grows up, she will be a very beautiful woman.
She talked to other people with marks, and they all died at the hands of vines in Wuji Mountain. One of them was an outer monk from Wuji Mountain. Fortunately, he didn't remember Tang Yue, otherwise she would have been exposed on the spot as not being from the underworld. People.
Lu Lingyi asked her in a low voice, "But there is a problem with this mark?"
"There is indeed a problem, but the most important thing now is to find the antidote. I will go out and explain the rest to you. ”
In the Palace of the Gods, there are not only the city lords of Wusi City, but also the Ten Palaces of Yama, the Ghost Emperors of the Five Directions, and the Fengdu Emperor who lives in the blue moon in the sky.
The priests led the ghosts from the outer hall to the inner hall, worshiping them one by one. The main statue of the outer hall was the Lord of the City who died in vain, and the main statue of the inner hall was the Emperor Fengdu.
Tang Yue used micro-spirit insects to release some spiritual energy to see which flower can transform the spiritual energy into yin energy.
The underworld is not without a trace of spiritual energy, it will always be mixed with some, so this little spiritual energy did not attract the attention of the priest.
When the ghosts arrived at the temple dedicated to Emperor Fengdu, she discovered that a dark red flower in the courtyard could convert spiritual energy into underworld energy. Because of it, the underworld energy here was the strongest, and all the souls felt that they were there. It's very comfortable here, and I feel refreshed after taking a breath.
Lu Lingyi's eyes lit up when she saw Tang Yue looking at the red flowers in the yard, and she knew that they were the dead flowers that could restrain the poison in her body.
For a moment, he was happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that it was possible to cure his poison, but he was worried about the danger of stealing flowers.
After Tang Yue determined the target flower, he knelt down and worshiped with everyone. He suddenly noticed that the person in front had a logo embroidered on his robe. At first glance, it looked like a person standing sideways, wearing a robe, but this person's face and cuffs, There were things like octopus tentacles sticking out from under their feet.
Such a weird thing suddenly reminded her of the Bliss Cult, and it seemed that such an image did exist.
She was confused and confused, was the cultist dead, or was the person in front of her also an evil cultivator who secretly came to the City of Wasted Death?
In order to confirm what he was thinking, Tang Yue released some micro-spiritual insects on his body, and sure enough he found aura, vitality and yang energy in them.
It is not strange that there are things in the underworld that are stained with these three kinds of qi, but it is very strange that the dead souls have these three kinds of qi at the same time. The dead soul itself exudes a lot of death energy, which cannot coexist with life.
She had doubts in her heart, and she still did not stand up after the kneeling ceremony. Lu Lingyi was afraid that she would be targeted by the priest, so he hurriedly helped her up, "Little sister, don't worry about your father's soul. If you kneel down sincerely, he will surely It can impress the emperor and help your father get better."
Tang Yue came to his senses and said, "I hope my father will recover soon."
In the eyes of the priest, this woman is the one who is worried about her father's soul. Nothing unusual.
After kneeling and worshiping, the ghosts can go to the Ming Zhai Hall to receive a piece of ghost food, which contains abundant ghost energy and is good for the soul. This is also the reason why the dead souls come to worship the god.
Tang Yue and Lu Lingyi decided to take this opportunity to enter the temple of Emperor Fengdu again.
