Chapter 763 The Supernatural World (11)
The rest of the story is quite cliché: the sixth princess wants the demon core to maintain her youth, and the Xuan Master also wants to get rid of this monster, so the group sets off on their journey.
The poor little fox was waiting for her lover to return and marry her, but what she got was almost her soul being scattered and her ashes being reduced to ashes. Fortunately, Wangyou arrived in time to join in the fun and prevented the little fox from having her demon core dug out and her fox skin peeled off.
"In the future, you need to be more careful. People's hearts are complicated, and it's not something a little demon like you can control. Don't go down the mountain again." Wangyou couldn't help but say a few more words when she saw that the little fox's aura was pure.
"Thank you, Master. I will definitely cultivate diligently when I get back and never come to the human world again. It was truly terrifying." The little fox patted her chest, thankfully she was focused on repaying the kindness and hadn't developed a romantic mindset.
After parting ways with the little fox, Wangyou continued on her journey, encountering nothing interesting along the way.
Then, Wangyou successfully found the gate to the boundary, but why could she only seal it when she was old enough? Her cultivation level was now high enough, but she was far too young, so it would take her ten years.
This boundary gate is between the human world and the demon world. Since it can't be sealed, let's make a mark and go find the boundary gate of the demon world first. Hopefully, the boundary gate of the demon world doesn't have such a bizarre rule.
And so, Wangyou traveled from the southernmost point to the northernmost point.
To be honest, this age is too young, which is quite a blow to Wangyou. A six-year-old child has no human rights!
Passing through Qiangu County, Wangyou found the name interesting and decided to go in and join the fun.
Upon arrival, I discovered that this county town was different from the outside world. Outside, men were superior to women, but here, men were superior to women. Men could marry, and women could marry.
The people here live a simple and honest life, with little scheming or infighting. They live in great harmony, and I really want to stay here for a long time.
But a simple life doesn't mean there are no demons or monsters to disturb you, so even in peaceful times, there is some unrest.
However, what made Wangyou happy was that she had attended two banquets here, one a wedding banquet and the other a funeral banquet.
The problem was that the two banquets were held on the same day, and she traveled from the east side of the city to the west side just to attend one, eating from morning till night.
Then, when she was about to return to the inn that night, she stumbled upon another scene of the Red and White Duo. The streets were deserted, except for these two groups of people, who looked eerie and frightening.
However, this time the situation was different from the last one. Last time it was a man and a woman, but this time both parties were women. They were both quite polite, each taking a step back, and the matter was resolved peacefully.
Even though Wangyou was ready to catch the ghosts, she was too embarrassed to do so. What she didn't know was that the two ghosts sensed the Celestial Master's aura and didn't dare to cause trouble. Face was worthless in the face of life and death.
After wandering around for a few days, Wangyou once again embarked on the journey to find the gate to the Demon Realm.
half a month later.
Amidst the swirling yellow sand, a small figure appeared on the desolate Gobi Desert.
Wangyou never expected that the gate to the Demon Realm would be built in this godforsaken place, making it very difficult for her to find.
But the result is the same. The gates here are the same as those in the demon realm. You have to be at least sixteen years old to start sealing them. No, why is there an age limit? What brilliant idea came up with this?
Wangyou stopped walking and sat down in front of the gate. After eating and drinking her fill, she set up a teleportation array next to it as usual, so that she wouldn't have to walk next time and could arrive in a flash.
Now only the Underworld remains, but the gate to the Underworld is relatively sturdy. So why are there still so many vengeful ghosts causing trouble in the human world? Wangyou thought for a moment, then moved further away from the gate to the Demon Realm, and then opened the Ghost Gate and stepped into the Underworld.
At first glance, Wangyou almost thought she had gone to the wrong place, until she saw the crooked characters "Fengdu" and realized that this was the underworld.
The Bridge of Helplessness was supposed to be full of ghosts, but there wasn't a single ghost in sight. The spider lilies on the banks of the Yellow Springs River were only scattered, as if no one had tended to them for a long time.
This isn't right. Last time she even summoned a Black Impermanence, but now nothing's left.
Wangyou took out the token that Hei Wuchang had given her and started looking for people. She couldn't see people, no, she couldn't see ghosts, and she couldn't let ghosts come to her.
The Black Impermanence arrived very quickly.
"My lord, what brings you here?"
"Has your underworld been looted? It's so desolate, I almost thought I'd wandered into the wrong place."
"Well, it's a long story."
"Then get to the point."
"Simply put, no one is paying the staff of the underworld, so no one wants to work there anymore."
What are your salaries?
"It is a merit. In recent years, the faith of the human world in the underworld has weakened, while the faith of each family's ancestors has become stronger. Over time, the staff of the underworld could not suppress those fierce ghosts, so they let them escape. The other ghosts with better personalities were not willing to do this thankless task."
Furthermore, with numerous cultivators from all realms, some inevitably try to overstep their bounds and enforce the law, leading to a lack of credibility within the Underworld, which gradually resulted in this situation.
When did the number of demons and monsters in the human world suddenly increase?
"About two thousand years ago."
"That's certainly been a long time. Not all of you underworld staff are this incompetent. Once people stop believing in you, you lose your power. The original underworld wasn't established based on human faith," Wangyou said sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Hei Wuchang felt somewhat ashamed. He could only say that by taking too many shortcuts, he had abandoned the difficult path, and over time, those techniques had been lost in the river of time.
"They really brought this on themselves!" Wangyou shook her head. Human faith is important, but how can we put the cart before the horse?
Passing by the Pool of Reincarnation, Wangyou went in for a look. Good, the Pool of Reincarnation doesn't look like it's been used very often.
"You guys don't really use the Reincarnation Pool much anymore, do you?!"
"There used to be a method that allowed people to be reincarnated without going through the reincarnation pool, but that method has gradually become less common."
"You guys are really amazing!" Wangyou gave a thumbs up. She was thinking, was it even worth saving this underworld? Wouldn't it be faster to rebuild it?
"You've come!"
"You've come!"
"You've finally arrived!"
Suddenly, a strange calling sound came from Wangyou's ear, but she couldn't see anything.
"Did you hear anything?"
"No!" Black Impermanence said after listening attentively for a long time.
"Is there some secret here? The kind that can't be told?" Wangyou asked curiously.
"I remember that the River of Oblivion is a place that Yama has repeatedly forbidden to approach, saying that there is great terror there, but I don't know exactly what it is."
"I'm going to take a look at the River of Oblivion. Don't follow me. Go and talk to your King Yama. I'll come find you after I'm done with my business in the River of Oblivion." Wangyou had never been to the Underworld before, but she seemed very familiar with everything here and didn't need Black Impermanence to lead the way.
