Chapter 714: The Heart of Ghosts and Gods
"The Yin Yang Stone is the key to opening and closing the Ghost Temple!"
"I see!" Xiao Mian nodded and asked: "Now that the Ghost Temple has been opened, the importance of the Yin Yang Stone should have decreased, right?"
"Brother, you are wrong! How wrong! If the Ghost Temple had not been opened, it would be a pity to lose the heart of ghosts and gods, but it would only be missing a secret realm; but now that the Ghost Temple has been opened, if there is no heart of ghosts and gods, the ghosts and gods will be lost. The temple will not be closed!"
"What will happen?"
"This starts with the origin of the Ghost Temple!"
But it turns out that the Ghost Temple, known as the Holy Land of Ghost Cultivation, is not simply a secret realm or an alien space, but a magical place that leads directly to the Netherworld.
It can be said that the ghost temple is the buffer between the underworld and the main time and space.
The various ghost techniques that ghost cultivators practice in daily life are said to have come from the Netherworld Underworld. Therefore, the various ghost winds and ghost fires in the Netherworld Underworld are exactly the perfect spiritual materials for ghost cultivators to improve their cultivation. In the Ghost Temple , there are all kinds of ghostly wind and ghost fire escaping from the netherworld. This is the reason why the ghost temple is so magical.
Now that the ghost temple has been opened, it cannot be closed without the heart of ghosts and gods!
If the main time and space is the time and space of the "yang" attribute, then the Netherworld is the time and space of the "yin" attribute. The short-term communication between the two will not cause yin and yang to be disordered, but if the ghost temple is opened for a long time, it will cause the entire netherworld to be in chaos. Yin rises and Yang declines.
Once the yin and yang are out of balance, the ghost realm will be transformed into a new ghost temple.
Furthermore, it will even affect the entire Western Shu State...
This is what Zhu Yanji meant when she said before that "at the least it can bring disaster to one party, but in the worst case it can bring disaster to all living beings."
"It's so serious? How could such an important thing be stolen?"
"This..., alas! We, the Netherworld Ghost Realm, are indeed responsible for the lack of supervision regarding the theft of the hearts of ghosts and gods. At that time, we always thought that ghost cultivators could not touch the hearts of ghosts and gods, but we did not expect that there would be people with ulterior motives from other states. , sneaked into the Ghost Temple!" Zhu Yanji said this, and Hei Shaji, who had been silent all the time, suddenly interrupted: "Hmph! Good luck to that bastard, he has been executed by the Ghost Saint, if it falls into my hands..., huh!"
From this point of view, the heart of ghosts and gods seems to have been stolen from Heisha Ji.
"Listen to what this means, the monk who stole the hearts of ghosts and gods should have been personally punished by the senior ghost saint, and the hearts of ghosts and gods were lost outside? Furthermore, as far as I know, as early as four years ago, The Yumen Tianguan was closed before, so how did the heart of ghosts and gods transfer from the hands of a dead man to the hands of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce? Brothers and sisters, can you explain to me? "I can't figure it out!
"What's so surprising about this? After the thief stole the hearts of ghosts and gods, he marched all the way east, stopped at Yumen Tianguan, went north along the Tiansuo Mountains, and went straight to Northern Weizhou. It was in Northern Weizhou that the ghosts and gods were killed. The heart has moved away!"
"So, it turns out that a gang committed the crime?"
"After that, the Ghost Temple was furious and personally took action and captured the traitor at the border between Western Shu Prefecture and Northern Wei Prefecture. Finally, through the secret soul-searching technique, he learned that after the other party brought the heart of ghosts and gods into Northern Wei Prefecture, he would pass through Beicangyuan was brought back to Qin County in Zhongzhou."
"Who is it that is so arrogant?"
"The person who stole the hearts of ghosts and gods is the deputy temple master of the Ghost Temple among the three temples in the East China Sea. The person who assisted him in Northern Weizhou was the deputy temple master of the Demon Temple!" At this point, Zhu Yanji looked at her and remained silent. Xie Ying asked, "I wonder if that friend from the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is the deputy hall master of the Demon Temple among the Three East China Sea Temples?"
The Ghost Temple, Demon Temple, and Demon Temple are collectively known as the Three East China Sea Temples!
After hearing Zhu Yanji's question, Xie Ying frowned and remained silent.
The iron-headed man remained silent from beginning to end, also silent.
When Xiao Mian heard about the Three Gods of the East China Sea, he suddenly remembered that in Wan Zong City, the young monk had indeed mentioned that there was such an evil organization in the practice world of the East China Sea.
Unexpectedly, the Three Gods of the East China Sea would reach out to Western Shuzhou...
What is even more unexpected is that the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Chu County, Zhongzhou, is caught in the struggle between the East China Sea Cultivation Circle and the Netherworld Ghost Realm of West Shu State.
This thing is not an ordinary big deal...
"Three temples in the East China Sea are deliberately trying to steal the hearts of ghosts and gods even at the expense of the deputy temple master. What is the purpose?"
"The Heart of Ghosts and Gods, or the Yin-Yang Stone, has the great effect of reconciling Yin and Yang and balancing ghosts and gods. This effect is dispensable for ordinary human cultivators, but for ghost cultivators, demon cultivators, demon cultivators and the like, it can be called It is a priceless treasure! The reason why the Three Temples covet the hearts of ghosts and gods starts with their evil deeds..."
But it turns out that the three temples in the East China Sea each have their own affairs.
The people of the Demon Temple practice demonic arts, deliberately creating demonic derangements, and trying to mutate into the demonic form like the one who destroyed the fate that day;
The people of the Demon Temple studied the method of hybridization between humans and demons, committed unnatural things, committed heinous crimes, and produced half-demon bodies like the Dragon King back then;
The people of the Ghost Temple dissected monsters, magical beasts, spiritual beasts and even corpses, and spliced their body organs livingly into human monks to create ghosts;
This is the true face of the Three Temples of the East China Sea.
"The heart of ghosts and gods can prevent the ghosts and monsters spliced together from the ghost temple from being rejected. It can even splice multiple different spiritual beast organs into one monk!"
"That's it! Huh... How do seniors and others know that the thing you want to track - the heart of ghosts and gods, is in the hands of our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"
"This conclusion is based on the identities of the two people before. They are the deputy hall masters of the Ghost God Temple and the Demon God Temple. If the contact person in Zhongzhou is really the deputy hall master of the Demon God Temple, the only one he can rely on is the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, right? After all, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is the most tolerant super power to the demon clan besides the Four Seas Demon Alliance!"
"Yes! That person is indeed the deputy hall master of the Demon God Temple!"
Finally, Xie Ying admitted this fact.
This made Xiao Mian breathe a sigh of relief, and also made Zhu Yanji's expression a little relieved.
But soon, Xie Ying shook his head.
"But I'm sorry! Even if that thing is really the rare treasure of your Netherworld, my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce cannot return it to you - at least not now!"
"What do you mean?"
"Business is business! The most important thing for a business is 'trust'. The thing was handed over to me by the deputy hall master of the Demon God Temple, and a formal document was signed and a contract was signed. If there is any accident in the middle, my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will lose its reputation." Ignoring Zhu Yanji's increasingly ugly face, Xie Ying said to himself: "Besides, the previous remarks were just one-sided words from you, senior. It's not that I don't believe you, it's really..., please understand!"
"Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce kid! Don't think we are really afraid of you! We are not afraid to tell you the truth: the Ghost God Temple has been open for more than three years. If we can't find the Ghost God Heart within a year, the Ghost God Temple will be temporarily closed, and the balance of yin and yang will be broken!"
Heisha Ji's words made Xie Ying's face change again and again, but he still shook his head in the end.
Xiao Mian also shook his head, but spoke at the right time.
"Four elder sisters, please be patient! Didn't Manager Xie just say that he can't give you the Heart of Ghosts and Gods at least now, but he didn't say that he can't do it in the future?"
Blinking at Xie Ying, Xiao Mian used his eloquence.
"Let's talk business. As long as Manager Xie brings the thing back to the headquarters of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce and hands it over to the deputy hall master of the Demon God Temple, the task will be completed. If the four elder sisters want to fight or kill, what does Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce have to do with it? Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce can even help the four of you! In the territory of Chu County, who can compete with Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce?"
Xiao Mian's words were a double entendre.
"This..." The four holy maidens looked at each other, and finally Zhu Yanji stared at Xie Ying, who quickly calculated and nodded: "Not impossible!"
"Is this what your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce calls 'business as business'?"
"How should I put it! We businessmen naturally have our own rules. In this regard, the four seniors are not as good as my brother Xiao! But now it seems that not only the Netherworld Ghost Domain, but also my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has been calculated by the Three Gods Temple. If I tell this to the Good Fortune Tongzun of my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, he should not mind giving those evil spirits who are making trouble in the East China Sea a good lesson."
Xie Ying's words were equivalent to agreeing with Xiao Mian's proposal.
Everyone first escorted the Heart of Ghosts to the headquarters of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Chu County, picked a time to hand it over to the deputy hall master of the Demon God Temple, and then took it back!
In this way, the reputation of the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce was guaranteed.
Although it was a bit self-deception, it was not a compromise.
This is because, although it seems that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is at a disadvantage now, even if Xiao Mian is included, there are only two quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators, and the strength is not comparable to the four holy maidens of the Nether Ghost Domain, but don't forget that this is Zhongzhou, not Xishuzhou.
From the overall perspective, the Nether Ghost Domain is not willing to offend Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce too much.
It should not be difficult to take back the Heart of Ghosts from the Deputy Hall Master of the Demon God Hall with the support of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, the local snake, and the combined strength of the four holy maidens.
It is fortunate that the matter can be solved in this way.
But then, Xie Ying raised another question.
"What do you think of Boss Jin's death?" Glancing at everyone, Xie Ying said to himself: "Last time, after Senior Heisha Ji came to explore the way, I contacted the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce headquarters, and Boss Jin was the reinforcement they sent. Now Boss Jin is unfortunately dead. If the Jin family knew about it, I'm afraid they wouldn't let it go so easily!"
"Jin family? Xie family? Chi Lian family?"
"You don't know! Our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is not a Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce owned by one person or one family, but is jointly managed by the Elders. Even the Shancai Tongzun is only the nominal supreme leader, but he has no power to make arbitrary decisions. The Elders' Council has thirteen chief elders, and accordingly, there are thirteen ruling forces in the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce. Boss Jin's real name is Jin Weneng, and he is a rare elite disciple of the Jin family this generation!"
Jin Weneng?
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, not because of Jin Weneng's background, but because of the leader of the fraud gang that he had fought in the suburbs of Xianyang City.
That person seems to be called Jin Weishu, isn't that a coincidence?
No wonder I felt familiar with the golden light of Boss Jin before...
Damn it!
Who said the cultivation world is vast and boundless?
