Chapter 209 The Pure Land is Originated from the Inanimate Land
Dead people are everywhere.

But there are very few dead people who can move and still have consciousness.

When Jiang Sheng met them, he sensed the subtle but unconcealable aura of death in them.

It was the smell of decay, a fishy smell that should have been buried forever but broke out of the ground.

It may be difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to detect it, and the mist in the mountains has the effect of disturbing people's consciousness, so they can be deceived without warning.

But Jiang Sheng has been in Penglai since he was a child, surrounded by pure spiritual energy, and he couldn't be more sensitive to such dirty energy.

This is not the aura of human nature, but the aura of the earth.

The earth energy is different from the ghost energy and yin energy in the mass graves and the evil energy and blood energy in the ancient battlefield. The earth energy appears in Jiuling Ridge, which shows that there are many people here who should have died, but were trapped here and did not die.

For example, the two Jiang Sheng met just now.

"Li Yan, Huang Yu and I should have been dispersed silently as soon as we entered Jiuling."

"The restrictions on Jiuling are somewhat interesting."

Thinking, Jiang Sheng looked to the sky.

I saw that the bright moon had slowly risen into the sky, and I could feel the coolness in Jiuling.

The dark wind was blowing, and it was also mixed with an extremely weak ghost energy.

As the cold wind blew, some faint sounds gradually came, like the sound of silence, soft and ethereal.

Without hesitation, Jiang Sheng jumped away in the direction of the sound.

After climbing over two mountains, Jiang Sheng saw the mountain village in the distance.

Villages are looming in the mountains, with red lights and green cages and noisy people.

The next moment, Jiang Sheng disappeared from the spot and flew away in the breeze.

At this time, Huang Yu had already arrived in front of the village early. Looking at the red and green lanterns hanging at the entrance of the village, and then looking at the villagers starting to move in the village, he couldn't help but smile.

"Dead again."

Just as he was about to enter the village, Huang Yu sensed something. He turned around and saw a breeze blowing.

The Qingling Qi is completely different from the deep earthly Qi in Jiuling.

"It turns out Taoist Priest Yuchen has arrived." Huang Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Sheng's figure emerged from the wind and nodded to Huang Yu: "Is Fairy Li Yan not here yet?"

"Although the locations of the three of us are different, we should all be able to find this place."

As Huang Yu was talking, there was another icy air coming from the distance, and Li Yan also arrived.

After the three people reunited and confirmed each other's experiences, Huang Yu said: "If my guess is correct, this place should be a lifeless place."

The so-called land of no life is an extremely unique secret realm or land.

Once a living person dies in it, he will not be reincarnated, and will be trapped here, neither alive nor dead, in a state of confusion, his consciousness will be gradually wiped out, and then he will be assimilated until he meets a new living person.

"Fellow Taoist's idea is similar to Pindao's guess," Jiang Sheng said.

Huang Yu smiled and said, "Oh, Taoist Yuchen also thinks this place is a lifeless place?"

Looking at the village in front of him, Jiang Sheng nodded slightly: "The land of no life should not appear in the Eastern Continent."

"This kind of realm is usually done by Shinto or Western religions."

"Western religions and Shinto believe that people have past and present lives, and good, evil, misfortune, and blessings are all retribution. Therefore, they have Yama and Mingwang who sit in hell."

"If a living being has sins, he will perish in hell. Only by purifying his sins can he be reborn. Hell is this place of no life."

Huang Yu nodded: "Yes, yes, there is a land of no life here, and presumably there must be Yama and King Ming who are in charge of hell."

At this time, in the village, the noisy villagers also discovered Jiang Sheng and the others.

"A stranger is a stranger."

"It's been a long time since I saw a stranger!"

The villagers gathered around excitedly, looking at the three of them as if they were looking at some rare treasure.

Huang Yu smiled and said, "How long has it been since you last seen a stranger?"

"Ah, it must be twenty years, right?" A villager counted on his fingers, not even noticing that his own fingers were broken.

"Where is this place?" Li Yan asked again.

"Here, this is the land of King Ming, and we are all the subjects of King Ming." An old man said.

King Ming!

This place is a hundred thousand miles away from Huainan Kingdom. Has Zhu Jiu's influence already extended here?

Jiang Sheng thought about it, but quietly probed his consciousness into the village.

In this village, every household offers spiritual tablets and Buddha statues, and many people are kneeling at home, chanting scriptures and worshiping devoutly.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Jiang Sheng pointed to the villagers kneeling on the ground in the village.

The old man explained: "I have sins in my body, so I cannot reincarnate. King Ming said that as long as I worship here religiously and wash away my sins, I will be able to enjoy happiness in the next life."

Jiang Sheng was now completely sure that this was the method of Western missionaries.

While supporting Qianlong in Huainan Kingdom, he also deployed secret hands in Jiuling. Moreover, Jiuling can also block people coming from other places in the Central Continent, allowing Huainan Qianlong to have enough time to accumulate strength.

This lifeless land in Jiuling can also be developed as a result.

It's really a good plan that kills two birds with one stone.

"Old man, may I ask where King Ming is?" Jiang Sheng asked again.

The old man pointed to the back: "Over this mountain, you can see the Pure Land where King Ming is."

"That's a big city, and there are many noble people living in it."

Huang Yu smiled and said: "My father-in-law, why don't you go to live in the city?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly: "We have no good fortune, and we still have sins. Only by washing away our sins and accumulating good fortune can we go to live in the city."

Jiang Sheng nodded and said no more.

Li Yan also lost interest, and Huang Yu was the only one who was still asking the old man questions.

After Huang Yu had exhausted everything the old man knew, the three of them crossed the village and headed towards the Pure Land of King Ming that the old man had spoken of.

"These are all dead people."

"In this lifeless place, apart from the three of us, is there any living person?"

"Let's go and see the Pure Land of King Ming. I'm curious as to who this so-called King Ming is."

After Jiang Sheng said that, he flew forward, and Huang Yu and Li Yan followed immediately.

After the three of them crossed the top of the mountain, their eyes suddenly opened up. They were surrounded by mountains, and a city stood on the plain in the middle.

The city is located in the plains, with some villages surrounding it. A Taotao River surrounds the city, and several iron locks lie across the river, connecting the two banks.

Even standing on the mountain, you can see the lights and bright light in the city, which looks like an ordinary city.

That is the Pure Land of King Ming.

"I didn't expect that there is such a large plain in this Jiuling Ridge."

Jiuling Ridge has many peaks and mountains, but no one expected that in the middle of Jiuling Ridge, surrounded by mountains, it would be flat and fertile soil.

The city is not majestic, but it covers a huge area, including palaces, government offices, shops, and residential buildings.

Judging from the surrounding villages, this should be a small country hiding in the Eagle Ridge.

Huang Yu pondered: "Looking at its appearance, this place should have been a land of living people before, but it was transformed into a land of lifelessness for some reason."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "The lifeless land should exist underground, not in this world."

"Whether from a Shinto point of view or a Western point of view, the existence of a lifeless place in this world is beyond the bounds."

"What does Taoist Master mean?" Li Yan looked at Jiang Sheng.

"When a person dies, he should enter the reincarnation and go back to life, instead of being trapped here in neither life nor death. Now that I have met him, I can't just sit back and watch."

"What's more, Pindao is also particularly interested in the Ming King who sits in this pure land."

Jiang Sheng's expression remained as usual, but the energy in his body became much sharper.

King Ming?

What a joke, only Buddhist masters in the upper three realms can be honored as King Ming.

It would be great if the Buddhist monks in Jiuling could reach the Nascent Soul realm.

Jiang Sheng's perception was unmistakable, and there was no trace of the transformed god in the city.

"Let's go together!" Huang Yu looked particularly excited.

At the same time, in the palace of the Pure Land Yin City, a large number of people who died in vain were chanting scriptures.

As they chanted sutras, strands of incense flowed into the statue of King Ming, and then turned into thin gold powder.

The statue of King Ming is tall and majestic, with one hand holding a golden pestle for subduing demons and the other holding a lion's seal. He sits cross-legged on a lotus platform. As more and more gold powder is added to his body, his aura becomes deeper and deeper.

In front of the statue of King Ming, there was a monk wearing cassocks who was looking at these people who died in vain with a look of compassion.

"Everyone has evil, and only by purifying one's body can one survive the sea of ​​suffering and enjoy the blessings of peace and happiness."

"If you worship sincerely, you will be able to get rid of your sinful body and achieve righteousness in the future."

Although he said this, there was no compassion in the monk's eyes, only indifference.

Isn't it clear to him and Chong?

The entire Yin City, the entire lifeless land, and the thousands of people who died in vain were just to support this statue of King Ming.

This statue of King Ming is related to the overall situation of the true brother and the fate of the Eastern Continent.

If Zhu Jiu wants to become the person who opens the disaster in the Eastern Continent and is also the one who responds to the disaster, the help of this statue of King Ming is indispensable.

Thinking about the explanation given by his true brother, He Chong couldn't help but look more kindly towards these people who died in vain.

When the statue of King Ming is completed, these people will be cleansed of their sins and can be reincarnated in peace and bliss.

However, in the next moment, He Chong's expression suddenly changed, and an extremely powerful aura burst out from him, and then his whole body rose into the sky.

I saw a brilliant sword light roaring towards me, as if it was going to tear the entire palace apart.

How could He Chong tolerate it? He immediately activated his magic power and shot out a dark golden Buddha light that collided with the sword energy.

For a moment, there was only a muffled thunder explosion. The collision between the sword energy and the Buddha's light shattered the tranquility of the Yin earth and dispersed the ghost energy in the sky. The entire Yin city seemed to be affected.

Countless people who died in vain stared blankly at the sky. They felt no pain, no sense of hunger or thirst, and numbness and confusion were their normal conditions.

Above the sky, a Taoist with a green crown and black robe stood five hundred feet in the air with his hands behind his back.

The clear air around you rises, dispelling the yin and ghost energy around you.

He Chong's expression was a little solemn. He had entered the second level in the Vajra Realm and had formed his own pure land.

If compared with Xuanmen, it is the Yuanying realm monks who have opened up the field.

But the Taoist priest opposite is only in the Golden Core realm, so why is his method so fierce?

Jiang Sheng looked indifferent, looked at He Chong in the Nascent Soul Realm across from him, and said:

"I'm sorry for coming here uninvited."

"I thought I could meet real practitioners and discuss Buddhism."

"I didn't expect that the so-called King Ming would be such a thing."
