Daxia Lingxian

Chapter 365 The terrifying character
Luo Ning led the ghost army all the way westward in the wilderness, releasing his spiritual consciousness from time to time to observe the current situation of the world around him.

He couldn't help but feel pity when he saw the dove-shaped swans on the road, the refugees dragging their families with them, the farmers with yellow skin and sad faces in the fields, and the bones with no one buried in the weeds.

The life of the people at the bottom is really hard.

Along the way, the city's streets and markets are still bustling and lively, and the wealthy manors are still singing and dancing.

But outside the city and the countryside, what you see is mostly dilapidated, messy, poor and desolate, full of the atmosphere of decline in troubled times.

Harsh government, bandits, ghosts...each one is like a big mountain.

And if you stretch your consciousness as much as you can, you will clearly find that in the still bustling market, you can see many parents selling their children and girls, as well as young men and women who put themselves in trouble.

Looking back on the scenes in Yangzhou and Jingzhou, they are actually similar to Yizhou.

But even these hard days of struggle in troubled times are gone after more than 30 years.

The world is like a tomb.

Luo Ning came to Jufujin, left the ghost soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and climbed the mountain alone.

There is only one person in the whole mountain.Apart from him, there is nothing more than a wolf and a moon.

Luo Ning was unhappy, looking up at the bright moon in the sky and the river below the mountain, and couldn't help but chant:
Looking at Kyushu with cold eyes, painstaking efforts will bring about thousands of sorrows.

The mournful people envy the fish and birds, and they swim freely in the clouds and water.

Where is the country? Who will collect the bones?
There are chickens crowing in the villages and ruins, and there are ghosts in the suburbs.

The world is like a play, it will eventually come to an end.

A drama in the world of mortals, spring and autumn on the stage.

The tragic song of Millet is performed by a soloist in Mingyue Tower.

Looking across the road to the end of the world, the river flows eastwards.

Luo Ning sings alone under the moon, Qibai sings three times, and sighs three times once he sings. He can't help but feel the great sadness of the lonely time and space.

A flood of thoughts came to him, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Luo Zhiyuan's Taoist heart has traces, so how can my Taoist heart be perfected?"

"Alas, I can't... be so forgetful."

Luo Ning looked at the deep and distant starry sky, at the vast and vast land, and at the dots of lights in the world of fireworks. He felt like he was living in a dream, and he didn't know what night it was.

Yin Rong cannot understand his master's poems, let alone his master's heart.

At this time, she was sitting on a hill with a cold face, bathing in the moonlight motionless, as lonely as snow.

The human race is really strange.

Luo Ning took out a pot of fairy wine, sat on the stone platform, and drank alone.

The man drinking alone suddenly smiled and said to himself:
"Chongzhen, Huang Taiji, Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, and Zanpu..."

"Every one of you has a king's plan and hegemony in your heart, and you all aspire to the world. You are fighting for it, fighting for a hammer."

"Do you know that the world is going to perish? Is it really going to perish?"

"Do you know that even the lofty emperors like you will be wiped out in the ashes of the doomsday catastrophe."

"You know, it's not you who protects this world from wind and rain, it's me, it's me."

"You know, I am the one who has to bear the burden of saving the common people, not you."

"You call yourself a loner and follow the rules, but you... understand? You don't understand."

"Ahem..." Luo Ning coughed.

This fairy wine is really too strong.

It is not advisable to be greedy for drinking, as greedy drinking will lead to drunkenness.

Yinrong turned his head to look at the wolf, his eyes full of confusion.Then he didn't bother to watch Luo Ning drink.

The way the master drinks, he looks a bit like that Fairy Lu who likes to drink and kick me.

After only three drinks, Luo Ning became tipsy and did not dare to drink anymore.

He laughed, raised his wine glass and smiled at the bright moon:

"Brother Yue, you have lived a long time and have experienced a lot. Do you think...what I said makes sense?"

"Those emperors, generals, ministers, and heroes are actually nothing but bullshit!"

"Besides the power and honor of their family, longevity and wealth, what else do they care about?"

"Hahaha!" Luo Ning laughed unbridled, "They are nothing!"

"They think they have the power in their hands, and they think they are superior, looking down on the world. But they themselves..."

Luo Ning threw away the wine glass in his hand and waved it suddenly, "It turns out that they themselves... are also poor people! They are also ants!"

"There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned! Hahaha!"

"You are obviously a pitiful creature, an ant, but you think you are a superior person who can control your destiny. Don't you laugh?"

"Brother Yue, don't you think this is ridiculous?"

The moon did not smile, but became colder.

Luo Ning was laughing, but tears came out of her laughter.

Luo Ning pointed to the sky, "Luo Zhiyuan! You have been practicing in the immortal world for more than 5000 years! Your conscience is still there and your Taoist heart is traced, but aren't you running away?"

"Do you feel at ease when you put such a heavy courage on my shoulders? Will you be able to achieve perfection in your heart? Do you think you have done your best?"

"Luo Zhiyuan! You really think highly of me, and you're really not afraid that I won't be able to bear it. Hahaha!"

"Since you said I am a nobody with no background, why do you dare to let me take the responsibility!"

Luo Ning seemed to be really drunk. He was lying on the bluestone, acting wantonly and without any scruples.

"You're drunk." A beautiful voice sounded.

A woman seemed to appear in front of her, very familiar and kind.

Like Su Chuo, but also like Lu Pianpian.

She is as beautiful as a rainbow and a dream.But Luo Ning still couldn't recognize who she was.

Even her fragrance was hard to tell whether it belonged to Su Chuo or Lu Pianpian.

"I'm not drunk." Luo Ning said with a smile, "It's not me who's drunk, it's this world, this world."

"You are really drunk." The girl sat next to him and reached out to touch his face. "Your face is very hot, and you still say you are not drunk."

Her hands were soft, warm, and yet cold.

"Who are you?" Luo Ning felt that his vision was hazy, and the woman was like a smoke in a peony cage, unable to see clearly as if seeing flowers in the mist.

The girl chuckled softly, her fragrance lingering in the air, "You said you didn't even recognize me when you were not drunk."

Luo Ning's drunken eyes seemed a little annoyed, and he laughed and cursed:
"Fuck you, I don't care who you are!"

But I saw that the night was foggy and the moon was shining. How could there be any pink girl?
Luo Ning was the only one who was drunk and talking to himself, as if talking to the breeze.

Yinrong turned his head to look at the wolf again, a pair of delicate wolf ears standing straight up.

Who is the master talking to?The master is drunk?
After a while, Luo Ning suddenly said "Huh" and turned over to sit up.

He unexpectedly discovered that just now, while half drunk and half awake, he had broken through the shackles of the real person and directly reached the middle stage of the real person!
Originally, Luo Ning could break through the real person before.But he was worried that the consumption of his willpower would be too great, and he never dared to break through.

Unexpectedly, after drinking a few glasses of immortal wine and not guarding the mourning platform for a while, I would naturally break through to the real person.

I don’t know how many monks have dreamed of the real state, but he achieved it while half drunk and half awake.

"Oops, you really made trouble by drinking." Luo Ning was suddenly shocked, and his drunkenness suddenly disappeared.

Only then did I notice that the consumption of will power had accelerated three times!
In other words, five thousand square inches of will power are consumed every day, and this is without using any magical powers or playing any role.

If he considers using mana, then he will consume at least 200 million willpower every year in his real life stage!
Although he gained a lot of will power in the Japanese country, he spent it all by using the Yin soldiers to fight and helping Lu Pianpian perform the grand ceremony. No gain, no loss.As a result, his savings were reduced to just over 60 yuan.

In other words, it is only enough to last for a few months.Within a few months, if there is not a large amount of willing power replenished, he will die!

However, with their status as the Lord of the Three Counties and the Holy Ghost of Nanzhao, their combined income is only one million yuan a year. They can only support the venerable ones, but they cannot afford to support the real people at all.

If in the fairy world, the difference between the venerable and the real person is actually very small, equivalent to the difference between the seventh and ninth levels of the realm of rebirth and transformation. It is said that they are the same big realm.

However, the rules of heaven and earth in the real world are different, and the difference between the venerable and the real person is stretched into different realms.

As a result, Luo Ning would be in trouble.

In four or five months, how could he obtain a large amount of human willpower?
Capture Yizhou?The problem is that there are three forces in Yizhou now. If he wants to take Yizhou at this time, he doesn't have the ability!

More than 3 ghost soldiers are worth 20 armored soldiers.Adding in the hundreds of thousands of Longcuo troops from the three counties, the demonic beasts from Luo Li, and the demon cultivators from Qianqiu Mountain, it totals an army of hundreds of thousands.

Resources and money, he has more than a billion!

But that's not the case.

Because the most powerful ghost soldiers, although they don’t need military pay, do need to consume willing power!
Without the power of will or Yin virtue, it is impossible to use the Yin army to fight.

Now that his willpower is in desperate need, how can he waste his willpower and use ghost soldiers to fight?
Even if he can use Yin soldiers, it will be difficult for him to capture Yizhou at this time.

Luo Ning looked thoughtful.If we can't conquer Yizhou, then what about going west to conquer Tubo?
The last Eastern Expedition of the Splendid Stars was annihilated, the Tubo Queen was captured, and Tubo was once again seriously injured.

If we advance westward and capture the entire eastern Tubo mansion, we will be able to increase the population a lot, and our willpower to feed the real people will definitely be enough.

Thinking of this, Luo Ning's red phoenix eyes revealed a wolf-like gaze.

"Yizhou cannot be taken, but the six counties in the east of Tubo can be taken!"

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him! If the bandits can go, I can go too!"

"If you take down six counties and rescue the serfs, you will have a lot of willpower!"

Originally, Luo Ning was worried that the pace would be too big and the expansion would be too fast for digestion, and he did not want to irritate Tubo too much.

But now that he suddenly became a real person, that was all he could do.

With the solution, Luo Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was only then that he discovered that after breaking through the real person, another character had been unlocked.

When she realized this role, Luo Ning couldn't help but feel horrified.

Lord of the Netherworld: Emperor Fengdu!
Is this character too scary?
Luo Ning was shocked and couldn't help but secretly said:
"Why can you play an existence like Emperor Fengdu alive? Is it because of the Ninth God Emperor's Ling Dao Pearl, or is it because of the Nether God Seal sent by Luo Zhiyuan?"

As soon as Luo Ning's Lingdao Pearl moved, he sensed the boundless world of the underworld.

A being with a chaotic face, wearing a black mysterious suit decorated with yin and yang, tai chi, sun, moon, stars, and seasons, sat quietly at the highest point of the world.

His breath seems to be the abyss of the avenue of cause and effect.

Just by deducing a hint of Him, the indescribable and profound Taoist true meaning can be perceived in a shocking way.

In an instant, Luo Ning got goosebumps all over his body!
Luo Ning was completely unable to deduce the supernatural powers of this terrifying character, and could only deduce a hint of his character as the Lord of the Netherworld.

Just by interpreting a hint of the character's divinity, Luo Ning was also horrified and his face turned pale, as if he had experienced life, death, and terror in an instant!
Wherever His will reaches is the place of the netherworld, traveling through time and space, transcending life and death.Even the reincarnation of Yin and Yang is under His one thought.

The five ghost emperors, the ten palaces of Yama, the six meritorious officials, the four great judges, the ten great evil commanders...the ancient and powerful gods of the underworld are all under his supervision.

Even in that higher and further place, the gods of different worlds are also pulled by his divine thoughts.

It was as if the countless worlds in the entire universe were within his divine eyes.

And His power of divine thoughts that seems to be present all the time and everywhere seems to be... cause and effect!
Even if there was even a hint of the character's divinity, Luo Ning did not dare to continue the performance for fear of going too far.

What a terrifying character.

He can't act easily. If he doesn't do it well, his consciousness will be wiped out by the true meaning of the character, and he will lose his soul!
For the first time, Luo Ning met a character that he was afraid of and feared to play.

He could only stop running the Ling Dao Pearl, think about it for a while, and suddenly understood something.

Could it be that Emperor Fengdu is the Taoist Master of Karma?

Is the Netherworld actually the karma dojo?
If this is true, then Emperor Fengdu is equivalent to using the avenue of cause and effect to monitor everything, and he is the supreme god of monitoring in the universe.

But if this guess is correct, then who will supervise Emperor Fengdu?
Could it be the God Emperor?
But Luo Zhiyuan said that the God Emperor will also serve as the Lord of the Netherworld...

"That's it!" Luo Ning almost blurted out, "Emperor Fengdu is not a god, but a god!"

"Which God-Emperor is also the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the Great Emperor of Fengdu is that God-Emperor!"

"The Divine Emperor is known as the Great Ming, which means Great Brightness, so he is called a god. Since the Great Ming, he will not abolish public service for personal reasons."

"Because of personal abolition of public affairs, it is impossible to achieve the position of God Emperor? God Emperor is just and fair, so there is no need to monitor Him?"

"Or is the only one who supervises the God Emperor, the Dao of Heaven itself?"

Luo Ning felt that this seemed to be it.

However, even if the God-Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is fair and just, can he always maintain a public heart over a long period of time and never abandon public service for personal reasons?
He took out another pack of cigarettes, took out one, and lit it.

Forget it, don’t think about it.Too ancient, too lofty, too remote.

Luo Ning retracted his thoughts, blew out a smoke ring, and suddenly smiled.

I forgot to give Luo Zhiyuan two packs of Huazi, he will definitely like it.

Next time, I will definitely give him two... one.

Cigarettes are much easier to smoke than dry pipes.

Luo Ning had just finished smoking a cigarette when an eerie and cold voice came:
"My lord, the jealous river god at the foot of the mountain calls herself Mrs. Duan. When she sees the army crossing the river, she doesn't dare to neglect her and comes here to pay homage to my lord."

Following these ghostly words, a black and ferocious ghost figure appeared in the moonlight.

It was Xuan Kui, the ghost general, who was a general of the Yuan army during his lifetime. Now he has been blessed and has become a sixth-grade ghost cultivator.

"Mrs. Duan?" Luo Ning laughed dumbly when he heard this.

She is the female ghost who is jealous of women who are more beautiful than her.

A few years ago, I took Luo Li, Su Chuo, Tongyan Shaman, and ghost disciple Hong Xiu across the river, and even went to Mrs. Duan's temple to pray and say good things.

In order to cross the river safely, according to local customs, Luo Li and others deliberately acted ugly and sang on the boat:
"Father and mother made me so ugly, I am ashamed to cross the river to take a picture. I was born so frustrated, how can I have the face to see my in-laws. Oh, my ugly slave has no face to live!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Duan's idea was finally aroused, and the ghost disciple Hongxiu who didn't pretend to be ugly was almost killed.

Fortunately, I took out eight taels of precious Yinde ointment and bribed Mrs. Duan to talk things over, and I was able to cross the river safely.

It was his second time to visit Zhufujin, and she was so frightened by the army that she actually took the initiative to meet him.

"It turns out it's her." Luo Ning looked playful, "Bring her to see me."

The ghost general Xuankui understood that the master actually knew Mrs. Duan.

"As ordered." Xuan Kui took the order and retreated.

At the Zhufujin Ferry, a woman in green clothes wearing a hibiscus crown stood over the water with a respectful expression.

This woman couldn't be said to be very beautiful, but she was somewhat pretty.The cultivation level is impressively fourth grade.

However, she was filled with ghost energy, and it turned out that she was a ghost master, not a living person.

This female ghost is of course Mrs. Duan, the "River Goddess" who is jealous of Fujin.

At this time, her ghost eyes flickered as she looked at tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, and her ghost body was restless.

She was worried that the other party would do harm to her, or destroy her temple along the way.

"Mrs. Duan." Xuan Kui came to her and said in a ghostly manner: "My lord promised to see you. Mrs. Duan should know my lord."

"Oh? Do you know him?" Mrs. Duan was startled and couldn't help but think: "Do you know me? Who is the senior?"

When she followed Xuan Kui to the top of the mountain and saw the old god Luo Ning, Mrs. Duan couldn't help but feel confused.

"It's you...ah no, junior Duan Guangming, meet senior!"

She never expected that the Yin Soldiers' commander would be the same boy who crossed the river a few years ago!
