Chapter 17 Sleeping
This is a sky full of haze.
The sky is forever gray, with no trace of sunshine or clouds in sight. The land is full of decay, with withered trees and barren land, not even half alive.
The ground is filled with thick fog that will never disperse. This fog comes from the Yellow Spring in the distance, which pours down like a Milky Way.
It steams and drifts across the earth, bringing darkness and desolation to the entire world.
This is the underworld.
In the land of the underworld, only ghosts will always exist.
All kinds of ghosts.
The most primitive fog ghosts are formed by condensation of fog, resentful souls are formed by condensing and accumulating grievances, menacing spirits formed by lingering yin energy after death, and various types of zombies that retain their entities, as well as various types that are difficult to classify. Strange existences filled this world, forming a vast and huge world of ghosts.
The size of the underworld is beyond imagination, even greater than the Great Desolate World, and second only to Hongmeng.
As the world that guides the universe of stars, it corresponds to countless worlds in the dark. Because of these connections, the underworld is full of mysteries and there are countless weird places, far beyond what most people can imagine.
Yanshui River is such a strange place in the underworld.
This is】◆dǐng】◆ǎn】◆小】◆ said, .⊙.@o A long, dark river with no source, existing with the underworld and born from the dirty soil. The river never flows, but there is always a splashing sound. The black fog that never dissipates floats on the river, and all kinds of ghosts are churning in the river.
Below the Yanshui River, the black river water rolls, and under the waves of mysterious power, the vortexes are rolled out one after another.
Occasionally, you can see black ghost figures spiraling up from the whirlpool, crawling out of the whirlpool with shrill screams, and swimming towards the water.
In this way, a Yanshui ghost was born.
Not every ghost will necessarily appear in the underworld. The underworld supports the entire underworld, and the underworld corresponds to the universe of stars. In this world, there are too many existences that subvert common sense, are unconventional, and even contradictory. They are difficult to understand and elusive. The living should be kept away, and the dead cannot sleep.
Continue to sink downwards, gradually reaching the deepest and darkest river bottom.
With a strong corrosive undercurrent, this place has become a restricted area of life.
Even ghosts are unwilling to enter. Only a few kinds of ghosts such as carrion fish and ghost crabs can exist here.
But even in such a place, a human body as huge as a mountain exists stubbornly.
He settled in the deepest part of the river bottom, covered with rotting sand.
The undercurrent is turbulent on it and cannot scrape away the hard flesh and blood. The sharp bone teeth of the carrion fish cannot bite through the hard body. Even the soul of the ghost crab cannot be lodged on it.
At this moment, the corpse was lying quietly on the bottom of the river, motionless, as if dead.
In the chest of the corpse, there is a terrifying hole, which penetrates him completely. The huge energy still stays on it, and any ghost who dares to approach will be directly torn into pieces.
A ghost crab comes here.
The energy vortex at the entrance of the cave not only attracts the ghost crab, but also makes it feel scared and does not feel close to it. It can only wander around the energy vortex.
Suddenly, a transparent claw stretched out from the hole and grabbed the ghost crab. The ghost crab's mist-like body began to change, trying to escape from the transparent claws. At the same time, the black mist pointed claws stabbed down, making a sharp sound of slapping and slapping.
The transparent claws retracted without being affected and pulled back to the hole in the chest.
Under the impact of the majestic energy, the ghost crab was instantly washed away, leaving only a trace of the most essence of soul energy, which was guided into the cave.
Deep inside the hole is a heart that has been torn apart, and a transparent ghost sitting next to the heart.
It sat next to the heart, carefully guiding the soul energy to enter, so that there was a healing that was difficult to see with the naked eye at the crack in the broken heart.
Then the heart thumped.
Although it only jumped once, it released a surging life energy. All the rotten fish, wandering soul crabs and stone monuments that passed by within a few dozen feet were shaken to death. It's a pity that this kind of death will not bring any benefits to the physical body, so the heart let out a long sigh.
The transparent ghost gently touched his heart, as if to say, don't be anxious, don't be anxious.
This corpse is naturally that of Tang Jie, and the transparent ghost is Xiao San.
Tang Jie's true self is indeed dead.
All vitality is gone, life is gone.
On that day, the palm of the Great Luo Jinxian came from the ancient continent. Its power was terrifying and unparalleled. Even Tang Jie's tyrannical body, which was said to be immortal, could not resist it and died on the spot.
But the dead body and soul are still there!
Because of the existence of the clone, Tang Jie's original soul has a place to go, and there will be no chance of death.
It's just that Tang Jie didn't take back the remaining soul in his body.
On the contrary, he left his soul there.
Dead people cannot embody their souls, and even if they do, they are nothing but walking corpses.
But Tang Jie didn't use this method.
The moment the deity died, Tang Jie used Creation Infinity on his deity.
To be precise, he used it on a broken heart of the deity.
The moment he used Creation Infinity, Tang Jie's body already had new life.
This life is fragile, lacks consciousness, and has no fighting power.
But it is also a seed.
The seeds of life!
Yes, Tang Jie himself is indeed dead, but Tang Jie left himself a seed of life.
At the moment when the seed of life exists, the consciousness of the deity has already entered this newborn life, and immediately fell into a deep sleep like suspended animation.
Tang Jie called this fetal breath.
The hiding stage that a new life must go through in its development.
At the same time, use the secret method of Daozang Locking Yuan to lock all the essence and energy in the physical body and prevent it from leaking out.
In this way, the seeds of life can breed and grow in the body of the deity, using the main body as the soil, rapidly absorbing and expanding, and re-forming the complete deity.
This was originally a good plan, but unfortunately it was ruined by the Hades Emperor, who actually dragged him into the underworld. Why didn't Tang Jie want to hand over the souls of the Five Elements clan to the underworld?
This cannot be blamed for Tang Jie being stingy. The Five Elements Race is a race created by Tang Jie. It belongs to the Huangting World and is not in the system of the Star Luo Great Thousand World. As an independent existing system, it has great reference, reference and research significance for Tang Jie. It is an important basis for Tang Jie to understand the great road in the future and take the next step forward.
But if the souls of the Five Elements clan enter the underworld and enter reincarnation, it means integrating into the universe of stars and stars, and losing this independence.
In the future, in order to gain greater power, the Huangting world will be integrated sooner or later, but not now, so Tang Jie cannot let the underworld take away these remnant souls under any circumstances. The price is to lose oneself.
Fortunately, what the underworld always needs is the soul rather than the body. The Emperor of the Underworld is a god in the form of an incorporeal body, and has little interest in the body itself. He only drags himself into the underworld out of revenge, so after being dragged into the underworld, he has not Pay no more attention.
In the underworld, the place of the dead, the yin energy is heavy and life is hard to find. Fortunately, the seeds of life use their own bodies as soil to nurture and grow, and have little external demand for the time being, so the problem is not that big.
The real trouble is that the consciousness of the deity fell into a deep sleep along with the seed of life and was unable to resonate with Tang Jie's consciousness. Therefore, Tang Jie did not know the situation of the deity.
All he knows about this deity can only be through the mistress.
Without conscious control, the seed of life will grow very slowly if it relies solely on instinct. The most terrible thing is that although the Underworld Emperor is not interested in the physical body, not all ghosts in the underworld are not interested in the physical body.
Most physical ghosts are interested in this physical body of the deity.
Therefore, Tang Jie had to recover quickly to deal with possible threats.
During this period, Xiao San continued to capture wandering ghosts and feed Tang Jie's consciousness, in order to wake up his consciousness quickly, so that he could effectively control this body.
At this moment, after the sigh, a voice suddenly sounded in Xiao San's consciousness: "San'er."
"Squeak!" Upon hearing this sound, Xiao San let out an excited cry like a mouse.
The consciousness of this deity has finally awakened.
I have said: "What is our current situation?"
The mistress then danced and screamed.
Through the transmission of consciousness, I have understood what Xiaosan said.
He felt himself and found that his current life form was still just the most primitive form of life, residing in the heart of the monument that had been barely repaired, and was in a strange state of being a human but not a human, a ghost and not a ghost. Even his own consciousness can only barely exist. If he thinks for a long time, he will feel tired. As for establishing contact with the clone Tang Jie, let alone establishing contact. Fortunately, the clone can at least feel the original one waking up.
After understanding this, I said: "I can't wake up for too long now, and I will fall into a deep sleep soon. The top priority is to continue to collect ghost food for me so that I can stay awake for more time."
"Don't worry, father, I will definitely catch more ghost crabs for you." Xiao San replied.
I have already said: "That one is not enough...we need something stronger..."
A look of embarrassment immediately appeared on Xiao San's face: "But I am a ghost hunter, so I cannot openly appear in the underworld."
"Then let them come over." Tang Jie said.
"How come?"
"Fishing...with my flesh and blood..." My voice lowered.
But in this short time, the consciousness of the deity has gradually become unable to support himself, and he is about to fall into a deep sleep again.
"Your flesh and blood?" Xiao San was stunned.
Yes, why didn’t I think of it?
The flesh and blood of this deity is still very attractive to some specific ghosts. In some aspects, it is no less than a genius treasure, and it can definitely catch ghosts.
"But if it's too powerful..." Xiao San was a little worried.
It is not afraid of monsters that are too powerful, but once they fight, they will inevitably be exposed and the risk will increase.
"If the target is not suitable...just give up...you can discard the bait." I continued.
"But that would be a waste of your flesh and blood."
"When it's time to waste, waste it. What you lose now, you will always get back in the future..." My voice became deeper and deeper, and in the end it was completely inaudible.
He fell into a deep sleep again.
