Journey to the West, there are nine golden crows in me

"Report..."

Outside the hall, there was a guard's anxious voice suddenly, obviously there was something to report.

Seeing this, the five people looked at each other, and were at a loss for a while, but no one spoke. It was not until Jiang Chen spoke that they came back to their senses.

"Don't mind me, tell him to come in and ask what happened."

The five of them came back to their senses after hearing the words, and the oldest one shouted out, "Get out of here."

This attitude is really not good. In the past, they would never be like this, but today is different. They just promised Jiang Chen that they will manage the city of death in vain, but just after they finished speaking, someone came to report the situation. This is not beating them face?

The five people were annoyed at the person who came to report the news. They came at the wrong time, so their attitudes were naturally not good.

"My five lords, there was another fight in Beicheng, and the situation was very serious. General Zhao personally led troops there, but he couldn't suppress it. He even sent a letter just now, asking for our support."

The visitor didn't know that he had inadvertently offended the five adults in the hall, so he dutifully reported the news he had received.

"It's them again. They don't know where to stop when everyone is dead. All the soldiers and horses of the five cities are dispatched. They must take down all the troublemakers. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."

When is it not good to make trouble, but this is the time to make trouble, isn't this giving them eye drops?The five people resented the ignorance of the troublemakers, and directly ordered all the soldiers and horses in the city to be dispatched, and even issued a kill order to kill all those who dared to resist.

In this regard, Jiang Chen watched from the sidelines, did not say anything, and did not interfere with their decision.

"The subordinates are ignorant, and the patriarch laughed at them." It wasn't until the man took the order that the five of them said to Jiang Chen with a smile.

"It's not your fault. It's because I didn't think carefully. I didn't take them into consideration when I built the City of Death. That's why I laid a hidden danger for City of Death."

Jiang Chen shook his head, expressing that he didn't care about it.

As early as when the man came in to report, Jiang Chen knew what happened.The City of Death is just that big, as long as Jiang Chen is willing, nothing that happens here can't be hidden from his perception.So, as soon as he thought about it, he knew what happened.

The so-called Beicheng refers to the area to the north of Wushi City.The City of Dead Death is divided into five regions, named after the East, West, North, South, and Middle, known as the Five Cities.As for the five people in the hall, one person is in charge of a city.

Originally, there was no difference between the five cities of Wushi City, but later, due to the increasing number of wandering souls, among the five cities, the North City and the South City gradually changed.

Due to some special reasons, there are many wandering souls in the nether world who are unwilling to reincarnate, and these wandering souls will be placed to live in Nancheng after they come to the dead city.

There is a yang life in life, and a yin life after death. When a living person dies, his soul enters the underworld.

Many living beings have been hit so hard that they don't want to be human again, and they don't want to start all over again. They just want to disappear completely in this world, so they don't want to go to Naihe Bridge and reincarnate.

Instead, stay in the Netherworld until the yin life is exhausted, and the true spirit returns to heaven and earth.

Yin life is often longer than yang life, so these ghosts can live in the nether world for a long time, which means that they will live in the city of death for a long time.

Over time, Nancheng became a gathering place for these ghosts.

Of course, letting them live in the city of the dead also has another purpose, which is to reawaken their vitality and make them think of reincarnation.Persuading people to live is also a merit.

The ghosts in Nancheng, apart from living longer, have no other problems.In stark contrast to it is Beicheng, where the ghosts not only live longer, but each one has great strength.

If you don't become a Golden Immortal, you will inevitably die in the end. Even if you are a Xuanxian, your lifespan will be 56 years, but there will be a day when your lifespan will be exhausted.

After these monks who are not golden immortals die due to the exhaustion of their lifespan, the spirits that have been cultivated so hard will collapse, transform back into the form of souls, and then fall into the nether world, entering reincarnation just like ordinary creatures Reincarnation.

However, once he embarks on the road of cultivation, he will undergo extraordinary changes and possess powerful strength.Ants are still alive, and ordinary mortals are not willing to die, let alone them with great power?
They have worked so hard to climb to a high position, possessing power and influence far beyond ordinary people, but in the end, they still cannot escape death. How could they be willing?

Of course they didn't want to, so after they died, they made the most troubles.

Low-level monks are okay, because of their low strength, the soul after death is no different from ordinary mortals.But once he cultivated into a Yin God and his soul began to transform, things would be different immediately.

Although after their death, whether it is the Yin God or the Yang God Yuanshen, they will collapse and transform into souls again.But in the end the essence is still there, even if it transforms into a soul again, the remaining power is far beyond comparison.

The stronger the strength, the stronger the soul formed after death, and some people's souls have the power comparable to that of heaven.

The people living in Beicheng are the ghosts formed after the death of monks.It doesn't necessarily mean that the lifespan was exhausted and died, and some of them were killed by others, leaving only the remnant souls who fled to the Netherworld to survive.

In short, although the origins of these ghosts are extremely complicated, they have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely powerful.

After they died, they didn't want to be reincarnated, so they chose to stay in the Netherworld forcibly, trying to resurrect and walk the fairy way again.

As for why they don't want to be reincarnated, the reason is simple. If they don't have the cultivation base of the Golden Immortal, and they don't have the protection of the Immortal Daoguang, after entering the reincarnation, they will be affected by the mystery of the womb.

If you are lucky enough to be able to solve the mystery of the womb, that's all right, but if you are unlucky and can't solve the mystery of the womb, then you will be in a daze for the rest of your life and will not have the chance to set foot on the fairy road.

To put it simply, if the cultivation base is less than a golden immortal, the result after reincarnation is uncontrollable.After reincarnation, it is impossible to determine whether it is a man or a woman, or whether it has the posture of cultivation.

This is tantamount to gambling their lives, so those ghosts would rather choose to stay in the Netherworld forcibly than reincarnate.

As for whether they can be resurrected after they stay, is that nonsense?Under Dao Zun, death is death, and it is so simple to want to be resurrected.Unless there is a big shot (referring to Xiantian Taoist) to help, otherwise, relying on themselves, I am afraid that they will not be able to be resurrected in this life.

As long as the true spirit is still there, Taoist Xiantian can easily resurrect a creature under the Golden Immortal.Sound simple enough?It is indeed very simple, but he is an innate Daoist, transcending the long river of fate, with endless fatigue, how can others compare?
It's like Jiang Chen's previous life, the top rich man could easily buy a villa in the capital, but ordinary people may not be able to afford a bathroom in the capital even if they spend their entire lives in poverty.

Resurrection is similar to a house in the capital. The Xiantian Taoist is the top rich man, and the creatures under the golden immortal are ordinary people. The former can easily buy a house in the capital, but the latter cannot do it in his entire life.

Resurrection is so difficult for the creatures under the dead golden fairy, it is almost impossible to accomplish in the world, and even one out of 1 people may not be able to produce one.

Of course, in this world there is a way to seize the body. If you seize the body of others, you can indeed be resurrected.But this is not the right way after all. Once it is exposed, everyone will shout and beat it, and even the way of heaven will hold it accountable.

In today's terms, seizing a house is an illegal act, and once it is exposed, the consequences can be imagined.Buying a house by illegal means, after the incident, not only people may enter, but even the house may be confiscated.

In the eyes of Tiandao, they are already dead people, and they are labeled as dead. If they appear in the world of the living, they will inevitably be hit hard by Tiandao, and they will inevitably be struck by lightning.Even if it is to seize the house, it can't change this.

They are already dead, but they are unwilling to die. They want to be resurrected, but they can't do it, and they don't want to go to reincarnation. Over time, they become lonely ghosts wandering in the netherworld,

Neither live nor die.

It's a pity that there is no ghost way in this world, otherwise, they can switch to the ghost way, instead of just spending it until the yin life is exhausted.Although the yin life is longer than the yang life, there will be a day when it will be exhausted. At that time, they will disappear completely.

After the establishment of the city of dead dead, these lonely and wild ghosts did not know where they got the news, and rushed to this place one after another, wandering around.

There was nothing wrong with them either. The five of them were not good at expelling them, so they were taken into the city. The original intention was to gather them together for easy management.

Who knew, it was this move that actually planted disasters for the city of vain death.Relying on their strength, these people are not restless at all. Although they are not enough to seize power, they will gather people to make troubles every now and then, and fight violently, causing chaos in Beicheng.

Just now, there were ghosts making trouble in the North City, and the scale was relatively large. Even the general responsible for maintaining the security of the North City could not deal with it, so they came to the City Lord's Mansion to ask for help.

As for why they make trouble, it is related to the cultivation of ghosts.As I said before, there is no ghost way in the prehistoric world. Since there is no ghost way, how do ghosts improve their strength?
Simple, the easiest way, and the least troublesome way, is to look for all kinds of natural treasures that can enhance the power of the soul. As long as you eat it, you will become stronger immediately, or even directly restore the sun and bring the dead back to life. impossible.

For example, after Xiang Yu's death, instead of becoming weaker, he became stronger and stronger. It is because the Wu Clan found many treasures of heaven and earth for him.

But obviously, treasures of heaven and earth are not so easy to find, and some people find it difficult to find them even if they live their lives poorly. Therefore, there is a second way, which is cannibalism.

If you want to become stronger, then devour the rest of the ghosts. As long as you eat enough souls, you can continue to become stronger. Even if the strength is comparable to that of Luo Jinxian, it is not impossible.

But this method has a disadvantage, that is, cannibalism is ultimately disliked by heaven and earth. After reaching a certain level, it will usher in the punishment of heaven, and there is basically no possibility of overcoming it.

To put it simply, this method is slow suicide, the stronger the strength, the closer to death.

Many powerful ghost generals and ghost kings in the Netherworld, apart from being born ghosts and gods, became stronger by devouring their own kind.

And the people living in Beicheng are all powerful ghosts. If they want to become stronger, the easiest way is to devour their companions around them.

Even slow suicide can't stop some people's determination to become stronger, so there is constant chaos in the North City.

"These wandering souls are really lawless, no matter what method you use, you can't restrain them."

Among the five people, when the city lord of Beicheng talked about them, his tone was extremely angry.Apparently, in order to deal with them, the city lord of the North City has been heartbroken all these years.

"It's your approach that's wrong. Back then, we persuaded you to give them some benefits so that they could have something to look forward to. In this way, they can be used by you. Why would they cause trouble for you every day like they are now! "

The highest-ranking city lord of Zhongcheng couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the complaints from the city lord of Beicheng.

The reason why these lonely souls and wild ghosts came to the city of death, isn't it because of the name of the sage?
They feel that this is the orthodoxy left by the sages of the Shangqing Palace in the Netherworld. If they have a good relationship with it, even if they can't ask the masters of the Qing Palace to help them return the sun, they can still use their relationship to reincarnate.

In this way, they can ensure that they can re-enter the immortal way in the next life, and they will not spend their lives in a daze.

Their calculations are quite good, but unfortunately, the Lord of Beicheng thinks they are a trouble, or their existence itself has affected the order of the city of death, or the order of the nether world.

Therefore, the Lord of Beicheng has been trying to find a way to get rid of them, and it is best to send them all into reincarnation.

The two sides could not urinate in the same pot, so conflicts naturally arose. The ghosts were dissatisfied with the attitude of the North City Lord, and they tried to make trouble for him all day long. However, the North City Lord had various scruples, so it was not easy to expel them.

Then, things gradually evolved to this step. Once they made a mistake and were caught by the city lord of Beicheng, they would immediately suppress it with thunder.

As the city lord of Zhongcheng said, if the lord of Beicheng is willing to take a step back and give them a little benefit, then these ghosts will not become trouble, but will become his help.

However, the Lord of the North City did not choose to do this, and he was determined to fight them to the bottom.

For his attitude, Jiang Chen recognized it. Even though the Shangqing Palace was not strong, it was still a sage's orthodoxy, and not everyone could come to make connections.Some benefits, you can only get them if I give them to you, and you can’t get them if I don’t give them to you.

Moreover, it is not a simple matter whether it is returning Yang or protecting other people's reincarnation.
