Qin Shi: I am in charge of the Eight Wonders

Chapter 160: Survival Rules for Tribulation
"Junior Chiyou, today I bow my head to pay my respects to Empress Houtu!"

Now Chi You has reached the interior of Soul Burial Valley, but the strange thing is that they did not find any ghost soldiers in the way they passed.

A sinister place like the Valley of Souls is just like a normal canyon. There are no evil spirits and no ghost soldiers. At least there is no trace of the ghost clan here in Chi You.

Logically speaking, ghosts with intelligence should have been born here a long time ago, but now, let alone the ghost clan that has developed intelligence, there are not even ghosts and resentful spirits without any sense.

But one thing is certain, the more normal it is here, the more abnormal it appears.

The current pattern has been opened up quite completely and clearly, let’s not say whether the powerful person arranged here is the legendary Houtu Empress of their clan’s ancestor.

What can be ignored is that there is indeed someone laying out the plan in the "Soul Burial Valley", and now it seems that the existence of this layout obviously does not want anyone to disturb his layout.

This is why, even now, not a single ghost or resentful spirit has appeared here.

This means refusing to communicate.

Even if you think about it more deeply, someone is trying to mess with him.

A bold guess, from the perspective of conspiracy theory, some people even want to use Chi You as a chess piece to test or indirectly destroy the layout of the master here.

And when he came here, he didn't respond or attack, which meant that the other party didn't have much hostility towards him, Chi You.

Their witch clan is good at driving ghosts, and the other party did not attack them directly, so the possibility of belonging to their witch clan is as high as 90%.

Combined with the fate of many big brothers, the probability of the age of Houtu in their clan is 50%, half and half...

Based on the remaining 10%?

This may be a misleading factor of a certain big boss, until their witch tribe is good at driving ghosts, so they use them as vests to put on themselves.

It’s not like no one has done this in previous calamities.

Perhaps in this reopened world, this is the first calamity the world has experienced.

But in that ancient era, the immortal cultivators at that time had all turned the calamity into a fool's errand.

Only you don't dare to think, only you can't think of it.

In ancient times, when everyone thought that this calamity was the first calamity of Long Han, who would have thought that this was actually a battle between Tao and demons?

And Patriarch Hongjun, who is recognized as the weakest and least favored, actually has strength comparable to that of Demon Ancestor Luo Hou?

He also directly designed and calculated the other three, leading to the end of the real battle between Tao and Demon.

Ancestor Qiankun and Ancestor Yin Yang died. Ancestor Yang Mei had no choice but to leave hastily to save his life.

And just when the battle between Tao and Demon came to an end, when everyone thought that the final victory would be Demon Ancestor Luohou, the result was that Hongjun, the sixth ancestor, opened the Three Corpses Technique and created three more equal to himself. The existence of realm.

Bi Jie Wo Ying directly caught Demon Zu Luohou off guard and sentenced him to death.

However, the final result was just Luo Hou's struggle. In order to save face, he directly blew up his hometown and tried to fight for a draw.

As a result, at this time, Patriarch Hongjun, the old man, took out the jade plate of creation, which directly affected the dimensionality reduction strike of the power of heaven.

In the end, Luo Hou's body collapsed, and for the sake of his own promotion, he could only put down a harsh word, Taoist Demon Chief, Taoist Demon Chief said this to save his face.

There were too many bad things in ancient times, and cultivators had too many evil intentions. So when the calamity came again, when Chi You knew that ancient cultivators were involved, he knew that this calamity was not fun.

The most important thing is that he also learned from the old dragon that the Supreme Master had no plans to ascend, which made him even more panicked.

Of course, the other party just mentioned this possibility.

But in fact, after some research, there is indeed no clear record of the ascension of Taishang Laozi and Laojun in this era. There is only one saying that the purple energy came from the east and disappeared thirty thousand miles away from the sky.

As long as you are not stupid, you will know that this old man is definitely planning things from behind.

And for this kind of brain, even now Heaven has transformed these people who participated in the calamity into the same realm.

Chi You also still felt guilty about these ancient powerful men.

Sometimes, the most uncomfortable thing is not that the other party is stronger than you, but the most uncomfortable thing is that the other party is not only stronger than you, but also more scheming than you, and he also targets you and plots against you.

...This is the most uncomfortable thing.

After learning that the great emperor, Laozi, Laojun, Donghuang Taiyi, and even their ancestors were present in this calamity.

He had some doubts. In this calamity, had the three heavens, earth, and humans been awarded by the law of heaven and fought for by the people, had they already been claimed?
It's just that these hard-core people refuse to promulgate it.

This is very tricky for Taoists to firmly stand in Qin.

Theoretically speaking, if the "person's position" has not been established.

Based on his layout methods based on the past Supreme Leader Laozi and Laojun, he should arrange some secret agents for all the seven countries. At least it is impossible to directly express his attitude and support the Qin State openly.

Anyone who has survived from ancient times will know the fishiness of it if they think about it carefully.

Unless, this is something that I want to hide.

What is being concealed is not the ancient immortal cultivators like them, but people in this world, or existences outside the world.

For example, some small sects in this world, such as the legendary time traveler who confronted him not long ago.

And everything has a reason, so what is the purpose of these people?

At this moment, the space not far away suddenly distorted, and a modest figure dressed as a noble prince appeared.

"Your Excellency, please retreat. Outsiders are not welcome here."

Chi You was startled, here comes the ghost!
There is still a spiritual ghost!

Being able to speak and have basic logic means that you can communicate.

Being able to come out and talk to yourself instead of being silent means that you can still continue to talk about this matter.

"Who is this brother?"

"I am a poor Taoist, Chi You. I am polite here. I have met my fellow Taoist."

Since the other party is so polite, this gentleman-like ghost tribe can't refuse too much.

He was a Confucian during his lifetime, so he always had to have some etiquette.

But Chi You?

Is it the one from the battle of the deer?
Of course, this refers to things in ancient times. Although he is a new ghost clan, the existence behind him has told him the truth of the world.

I know that this world not only existed for a long time, but also that in the more ancient past, there was an era of cultivating immortals and prosperous gods, the ancient era.

And some things in this era, the past, and history are all arranged according to the so-called calamities of ancient times.

"Chiyou?"

"Oh, it turns out to be fellow Taoist. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. I didn't expect that fellow Taoist Chi You is still alive. He is indeed a great demon in ancient times. He is indeed extraordinary."

Although he was called a demon, this Confucian student was still respectful.

Although there is a clear separation between the so-called immortals and the so-called demons in this era.

But in those ancient times, demons and immortals could actually coexist.

The only opponents are the righteous monks and the evil monks.

There are immortals and demons among the righteous monks, and the same is true among the evil monks.

Power is often not the most terrifying, there is never good or bad, good or evil.

The scary thing is, people with power, are they righteous or evil?

However, what the other party said aroused Chi You's interest.

"Oh, fellow Taoist, do you know me?"

The Confucian scholar in the soul body nodded, clasped his fists and raised his hands: "Senior Chi You's elegant master told me that no matter what deeds he did, he could not conceal his glory."

"My name is Changyun. Senior Qiu can just call me Changyun."

Chi You also raised his hand and asked for a master from the ghost clan. Could it be his ancestor?

Chi You wanted to ask, but he also knew that the other party would never tell him so obviously.

It is impossible for the other party to say that this is an established fact, and there is no need for him to ask for trouble.

"Hello fellow Daoist Changyun, I heard that this is the Soul Burial Valley. In the realm of mortals, I heard that there are many ghost soldiers here. Gradually, this place has become a forbidden place for mortals. Is this true?"

Changyun smiled: "Senior Chi You, you don't need to beat around the bush. These are indeed real. I don't need to hide anything."

Chi You nodded, as long as you can talk, that's fine.

"But I see that it is very peaceful here, and there is not even a trace of Yin spirit energy. So where have all these evil ghosts and resentful spirits gone?"

"Will they attack mortals, will they kill indiscriminately and uncontrollably?"

"Oh, of course, fellow Taoist, don't worry, I don't really care about any of this."

"I have no hatred towards any race. Since fellow Taoist knows my name, I believe that your master has also told you some of my past deeds."

"But fellow Taoists must understand that the calamity is approaching, and now is not the time for chaos." "If those ghosts and ghosts kill wantonly, causing the calamity to rise and causing the calamity to start in advance, I believe this is not what fellow Taoists want to see. , it’s not what the one behind you wants to see, let alone what many fellow cultivators want to see.”

Changyun shook his head: "Please rest assured, Senior Chi You, those evil ghosts and resentful spirits are all under our control."

"The reason why I came out is to help fellow Taoists clear up their doubts."

"I know that fellow Taoist disciples are not here for me, but for my teacher."

"Come for this place."

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, my teacher has opened up another space, which will be the residence of these resentful spirits and ghosts."

Chi You's eyes moved slightly, where is the residence of the evil ghosts and resentful spirits?

where is that?
It may not exist in this era, but it did have such a title in ancient times.

The underworld was created by Empress Tu after reincarnation, and it was precisely because of this that Empress Hou Tu was able to take the opportunity to ascend to the position of a saint in one step.

This is also the most unexpected place during the Lich War.

It was also the biggest variable in that calamity, and it even got to the point where both of them were dumbfounded in the end.

The Witch Clan and the Demon Clan compete for the dominant position in the world, in order to obtain the destiny of heaven and earth, use luck as a carrier, and use merit to allow the leader of one party to ascend to the holy throne.

Although at that time, no one thought that such an approach could make a saint, it seemed to have become a secret fact. Using this method to become a saint seemed to be the only way out in that era.

People also firmly believe that the saint who was born during the calamity will be one of the two leaders.

But what's funny is that in the middle and late stages of the calamity, when the two are about to fight to the death for the holy position.

At this time, the reincarnation queen Tu Niangniang came out and directly established the reincarnation. With the help of the dead souls from the battle between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan, she settled her merits and climbed to the top in one step.

The youngest girl who is the least optimistic among many witch clans has achieved the goal of becoming a saint.

On the other side of the demon clan, Demon Emperor Fuxi also lived and died in that war.

As a result, his sister Nuwa took this opportunity to plan a bigger opportunity for him.

He directly obtained the position of the next protagonist and leader of the world, the Emperor of the Human Race.

...Emperor Fuxi.

It has to be said that becoming the protagonist of heaven and earth can indeed ascend to the holy throne with the help of the power of heaven and earth.

In that war, both the demon clan and the witch clan suffered losses.

The Witch Clan founded the Underworld, and the people of the Witch Clan who were alive at that time all joined the forces of the Underworld, knowing when to enter and when to retreat, and became the priests of the Underworld.

But the demon clan is different. They relied on the gains from the last calamity to brutally kill humans and seize the fate of the protagonists of the world. However, they also suffered the wrath of heaven and humans.

Any demon race that survives a calamity will be punished by heaven, and the human race has also made a general decision to kill demons on sight!

The former Emperor Wa of the Monster Clan was also ashamed of the Monster Clan's behavior, so he directly left the position of Emperor Wa, completely protected the human race, and became the Holy Mother of the human race.

In short, this is all absurdity from the previous era and has nothing to do with the current calamity.

But where do ghosts live?

Does this refer to reincarnation?

Is it possible that the master behind Changyun is really our Witch Clan, or is the Empress Houtu of our Witch Clan?
Chi You frowned, there were too many puzzles.

He wanted to ask, but there was no good reason.

"Fellow Taoist Changyun is also a happy person, so Chi You said it here. What does Taoist Taoist know and what can he say? Why don't we show off here? Taoist Taoist said everything he can say. I'm here to listen." On."

Chi You also felt a little helpless.

If you continue to stay like this, it will definitely not be the case.

He still has many things to deal with, but the most important thing at the moment is to find out whether this is the territory of their witch clan?
See if this is the residence of their ancestors.

If this is really the second underworld created by Tu Niangniang after reincarnation, even though Chi You cannot defeat the opponent in this calamity, he can still leave a way out for himself.

If you can't fight, run away. If you can't, hide in the reincarnation space and work to pay off your debts.

No matter what, this is at least better than death.

He is the Taoist friend of the demon from outside the realm. There is a famous saying: "Only when you are alive can you have unlimited possibilities."

"Once a person dies, nothing is left."

I still remember that he was a humble little penguin who grew up to become the legend of the king of the city...

Changyuan chuckled: "Seeing my Taoist friend so happy, if I continue to deal with it like this, I will really let down my Taoist friend."

You also know that you are dealing with me.

Although Chi You was unhappy, it was difficult to express it directly in this situation.

"Fellow Taoist, I believe you can also see that this is the residence of ghosts and the origin of reincarnation."

"If fellow Taoist know this, it will be enough to prove that we are not enemies. No matter how outrageous things Chi You has done before, at least during the calamity, we are natural allies."

The other party made it clear directly, yes, I just don’t like you.

But if it were normal, I would definitely ask my seniors for advice.

But now during the calamity, this is a special period.

All karma and grievances will be discussed after calamity.

Otherwise, once discovered, the whole clan will be punished.

"So you told me that this is the territory of the Witch Clan?"

Changyun shook his head: "I don't know what you are talking about, senior. This is the territory of the ghost clan."

"This is the place of reincarnation."

The other party was just short of the words "Escape from Reincarnation and Return to Earth", and he also knew very well that he couldn't say that.

Speaking the name of a certain powerful person requires you to bear the consequences. No matter whether the powerful person is close to you or not, as long as you say it, you will bear the consequences.

And this kind of thing is usually forgotten. During this calamity, what can't be seen now?
In the middle stage, when the tribulation energy is strong, they will pursue the depth of cause and effect, interfering with their will.

Changyun's teacher naturally told him about these things, and he would not be so stupid.

And there are some things that you can just click on. If the other party doesn't understand, then the other party is really stupid. Such a person is not worthy of being their teammate.

A former time traveler said it well: Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

He didn't want an extra pig in his team.

Chi You nodded and understood.

Although there is still a trace of doubt in my heart, this is a big boss pretending to be here, just to attract them, the descendants of the Witch Clan, and pull them into his camp.

But in any case, what is certain is that, at least for now, the other party will not harm him.

Just be careful on the eve of the catastrophe, and the other party won't do anything mindless.

And in the middle of the calamity, if he continues to wait and see, if the other party still doesn't show any malice towards him.

You can help with things that benefit you, and you can help you with a little effort, but what if you have to pay the price for them?

This is not enough, we will wait and see later.

At this time, it was also the time when the calamity battle was at its most intense.

At this time, most people no longer bother to cover up, famous brands versus famous brands.

If the other party is still in the name of the Witch Clan, then there is a high probability that this place was created by people from the Witch Clan, even if it was not created by Empress Houtu.

At this time, it is okay to pay a small price, as long as it is not too big, you can exchange injury for injury.

And here comes the final war, the end of this calamity.

Once the Taishang, Laozi, Laojun, Donghuang Taiyi, Houtu Empress, this kind of super-scale combat power appears.

No need to doubt, no need to hesitate, just run.

At this time, there is no distinction between friend and foe. In order to win, you can do whatever it takes.

Usually it's a move that damages the enemy by 1000 and damages yourself by 800, or some kind of flipping trump card?
But no matter what, it is no longer something that a small person like Chi You can interfere with.

Just hide aside and wait for the results.

As for whether the future will be flowers or judgment?
It does not matter……

That's not something you can decide on your own.
