Sorry, master, my junior sister has surrendered to the enemy!

Chapter 192 Ghost

The city gates were closed and there was no one guarding the city walls.

It's strange, the county magistrate's office should have sent someone to guard it.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly sounded in his ears, and Chu Yu immediately raised his hand and caught a small stone flying over.

She frowned and looked back. It was just an ordinary stone. She didn't know who was trying to play a trick on her by hiding in the dark and throwing the stone at her.

Or is it that you are not welcomed?

"Come to think of it, the last time I came here I caused chaos in the Liu family, so it's normal that some people don't welcome me." Chu Yu muttered to herself unconsciously. She just felt strange. This city was full of people, so why did it feel so desolate and deserted?

At this moment, she noticed the footsteps of someone running away behind the city wall. Although that person tried his best not to make any sound, it was impossible for him to escape the Spirit King's perception.

He was just an ordinary person with no cultivation. He should be the one who threw the stone at Chu Yu just now.

Chu Yu was a little surprised for a moment. How could an ordinary person dare to provoke the Spirit King like this? What if the cultivator he met was not a kind one? Wouldn’t he have to start over in his life?

Moreover, Pingyuan County gives people an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Chu Yu recalled that Qingqiu County in Nanlinzhou had this feeling at that time. There were people in the city, but it was desolate and bleak.

Chu Yu did not climb over the wall, but walked straight to the tightly closed city gate of Pingyuan County. Before she could make any move, the lonely city gate creaked and slowly opened a little.

It was not fully open, just enough for one person to pass through, and there seemed to be no one guarding the door. The door opened by itself.

"Why do I feel like I'm walking into a trap?"

Chu Yu looked at this and raised her eyebrows: "If I don't go in, I will be rejecting their good intentions. I didn't even say I wanted to come in, but I took the initiative to open the door to welcome guests."

So Chu Yu did not disappoint the other party's enthusiasm and walked into Pingyuan County.

After walking into the door, I could see the whole picture of the city. There was indeed no one outside. I don’t know who opened the door for Chu Yu. The city door was heavy and could only be opened and closed manually. It could not be blown open by the wind.

The moment she entered the door, the other party slammed the door shut as if afraid that she would go back on her word.

So urgent.

Chu Yu didn't show it on his face, pretending to be very insensitive, and sighed: "Is the wind so strong?"

"Is anyone there?" Chu Yu shouted loudly towards the city, and the lonely echo lingered in the city.

Tsk, it seems like no one really wants to pay attention to me.

For some reason, Chu Yu felt a little disappointed.

"I've never felt so unwelcome before, and I feel it this time." Chu Yu straightened her clothes, smoothed her hair, and put herself in her best possible state again.

"Hmph, are you very popular in Tianchen Immortal Sect?" Shenhun didn't know when, but he was suddenly willing to talk to her, but he didn't say anything nice when he opened his mouth.

"How can it be the same? Before the Tianchen Immortal Sect revealed its true face, it had to use all the treasures in the world to help me build up my cultivation and coax me with all kinds of persuasion." Chu Yu didn't mind. It seemed that he was desensitized to the Tianchen Immortal Sect. His soul might have something else to say if it could speak at this time.

Chu Yu felt that since there were people in the city, he had to build good relations with the people and not scare them casually.

So she looked harmless, with the aura of the Spirit King restrained. She wore a white shirt, and the Chekong Sword was quietly kept in the Purple Mansion, not revealed.

Sure enough, the spirit did not leave her aside and talked about something: "Chu Yu, you were locked up too well by Tianchen Immortal Sect in your previous life and never saw a ghost cultivator."

"They should have stayed in the ghost den. It's just like the demon realm. There should be a boundary gate separating it from the human land."

"But the most basic ghost is formed based on the obsessions of the living, so even though humans and ghosts are separated by the Yin and Yang, they are inevitably entangled."

"Those with extraordinary talents, or those with deep resentment, or both, can rely on the remaining souls to embark on the path of cultivation. This results in some ghost cultivators being very rational, while others are extremely brutal and terrifying. The yang energy in the daytime of the human world will hurt ghosts of lower realms, so orthodox ghost cultivators generally do not stay in the human world, but are more willing to come to the ghost den."

Chu Yu couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Then why don't you follow the path of ghost cultivation?"

Shenhun seemed to be choked in the middle of his speech. Although he was angry, he said patiently: "When cultivators kill each other, they must ensure that the other party's soul and body are destroyed to avoid future troubles. I used all means to protect Tianhun, so I was able to survive and find a chance to revive."

Shenhun gradually became calm when talking about the past.

"Moreover," the spirit thought for a moment and said, "even if one is suitable for cultivation during life, he or she may not be able to follow the path of ghost cultivation after death. Some cultivators find it difficult to accept the cultivation method of ghost cultivation. Unless a ghost cultivator can survive the early stage, there are too many restrictions and it is very troublesome. Some cultivators may not have deep obsessions and cannot leave their souls behind, so they enter reincarnation early."

"Moreover, even if some cultivators leave behind a wisp of soul that can inherit a portion of their power during their lifetime, they will be extremely weak the moment they die. They have no means to maintain themselves, so when they encounter cultivators whose realms are much lower than theirs, they have to be extremely careful."

So they choose weaker attackers as hosts.

After hearing so much, Chu Yu felt that Shenhun had not yet gotten to the point.

As expected, she continued, "This place is shrouded in a thick aura of resentment. Although there are living people, it is very strange. The surrounding atmosphere is exactly the same as the ghost's description."

"There is no sunlight, the wind is cold and the view is dilapidated. The buildings are no different from those in the human world. If there were no living people, I would have thought you had come to a ghost cave."

demon?

To go there, doesn't it mean that we need to open the gate? When does the gate open?

Although she wanted to refute Shenhun's judgment, this suddenly reminded Chu Yu, is it difficult for Li Heng to come to Pingyuan County with his strength?

Why hasn't he arrived yet?

Is it impossible to find it?

Have I really been drawn into a world full of ghosts?

The ghost realm and the demon realm are somewhat different. Although both have boundary gates, there is an entanglement between humans and ghosts, and the connection between them is not so strict.

There are always some days every year, commonly known as the opening of the ghost gate. At that time, there will be a grand spectacle of hundreds of ghosts parading at night in the human world. Some residual souls who miss their relatives will disappear after visiting their living family members because their obsession is gone.

The Demon Realm is different. The boundary gate is sealed and the innate demons are permanently isolated in the Demon Realm. Once a cultivator possessed by the demon is discovered, he will be strangled on the spot.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Did you have any impression of the demons when you were alive?"

The spirit thought for a moment and said, "Yes, some demons do not believe in killing people, and we can live in peace with them. But I don't know how long it has been since I went to Earth with you, and after I came back with you, I didn't see a single demon."

"I don't know what happened during that time, but now the whole Jiuzhou is terrified of the word demon. Just like you were said to be a fallen immortal by the Tianchen Immortal Sect, and no one dared to ask about your death."

Chu Yu choked at these words. It seemed like she and Shen Hun were always stabbing each other in the heart whenever they chatted, but they were both used to it.

"Your posthumous reputation is not even as good as mine~~" His spirit knew that he seemed to have turned the tables, and wandered proudly in Chu Yu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Chu Yu took a deep breath and thought, forget it, don’t bother with her.

If this place is really a den of ghosts, then she has to rethink her next plan.

The most surprising and important thing is that a living person from the city appeared in the ghost den.

The evil aura of the ghost den can harm the souls and spirits of the living. If people stay here for too long, they will either die or go crazy.

The most important thing is how to get these people out.
