Chapter 655 Insight
"Changhe Town?" Li Chengsheng looked at the small town in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly. Could his trial be a fantasy world under the same system?
If this is the case, then he may have to spend some time to understand the background story and the reasons for the appearance of those ghosts, especially what happened to the so-called ghost day.
"Ghost Suppression Division, Thousand Ghosts' Calamity..."
It didn't take much thinking to figure out that the former should be a local organization that suppresses ghosts, while the latter reminded Li Chengsheng of the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts in the first level trial.
If his guess is correct, then the third level of trial should be to go to the county to protect the people from the invasion of many ghosts.
There is no need to think too much about what will happen in the future for the time being.
Li Chengsheng saw that the sky was bright, but this small town was extremely quiet. The city gate was closed until the sun was at its peak, and then it was slowly opened.
And the city wall, which was no more than ten feet high, actually emitted a gleaming light under the sunlight, making it look very extraordinary.
He looked closely and found that those ordinary-looking bluestones were actually second-level spiritual materials!
"A small town with a gathering of mortals can actually use second-level spiritual materials to build a city wall?" Li Chengsheng felt that it was a bit outrageous, but then he thought about it, this is a fantasy world, and it should not be compared with the situation in the Xuanyuan world.
squeak——
The city gate slowly opened, and a monk walked out. His level was only in the early stage of foundation building. Behind him were several qi-training Taoist boys and an old man.
"Junior Wang Qiulin, pay homage to senior!" Zhuji bowed and saluted, his brows and eyes full of respect.
"I wonder which spiritual mountain your senior is a disciple of?"
"I'm just a wandering Taoist."
Hearing this, Wang Qiulin's face showed obvious disappointment. If he was just a casual cultivator, even if he was stronger than him, he wouldn't be much stronger.
But it is better than nothing. With more power, the fewer people in Changhe Town will die in the next Thousand Ghosts Tribulation.
So he sincerely invited: "Senior, why don't you rest in Changhe Town for a few days? If you have any needs, I will try my best to meet them."
"Okay." Li Chengsheng's trial mission is to help Changhe Town. Now that he can enter in a dignified manner, it is naturally the best, not to mention the reward.
"Is there a place like the Sutra Pavilion in the town? If not, please collect some strange books and send them to my resting place."
Wang Qiulin replied: "There is a small Buddhist Scripture Pavilion in the town hall, and there are many spare rooms there. If senior is not satisfied, I will make arrangements later."
"Take me to see it."
After Li Chengsheng entered the town, he found that almost every household was closed. Except for their group, there were only a few pedestrians on the street, and they were walking in a hurry and did not dare to stay outside for too long.
Li Chengsheng's requirements for his residence in the next few days are not high, as long as it can provide shelter from wind and rain. He values the books in the Scripture Pavilion more. After all, with his cultivation level, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't rest for several days and nights.
So he didn't waste time and said: "I will stay here, and I will also help with things at night."
"Thank you, senior! Then I won't disturb senior's rest." Wang Qiulin led everyone away with a wink.
Before the group of people had gone far, an old man couldn't wait to ask: "Director Wang, what is the strength of this casual cultivator? Can he really help Changhe Town?"
"Mayor An, don't worry."
Wang Qiulin said with certainty: "He is much better than me. With the help of this senior, the number of people who died in this year's Thousand Ghosts Catastrophe in the town will definitely be much less."
"That's good! That's good! I'll go see what other treasures there are in the warehouse and dedicate them to this immortal master." After that, the mayor hurriedly left.
"Alas! This world..."
Wang Qiulin murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "The Yin Qi is so strong that maybe within a thousand years, this world will turn into a ghost!"
Naturally, Li Chengsheng couldn't hide the voices from the outside world. He didn't pay attention at first, until Wang Qiulin's last words caught his attention.
"A foundation-building monk actually knows about such a big thing? It seems that the world here is indeed in danger."
If before entering the town, Li Chengsheng thought that this was just an illusory world built by stone towers, but now, he had some doubts in his heart.
Because even if the stone tower is an immortal weapon, it is impossible to create such a real illusion!
In order to confirm his guess, Li Chengsheng released Chaoyangwu to find the small mountain village where they had stayed for three days.
Even if he doesn't know the location of the village, Chaoyangwu can easily find it through the aura left in the past.
Before Chaoyangwu came back, he read various books intently, looking for the cause of the ghost disaster, understanding the background of this world, etc.
After about an hour, Chaoyang Wu returned to Li Chengsheng and said, "A Sheng, that village is still there. When I went quietly, the villagers were still talking about why we left suddenly."
"really!"
Li Chengsheng rubbed his eyebrows. This was not a fantasy world at all, but a real world!
And that stone tower should be a teleportation weapon.
However, he was also extremely curious. Since this was the real world, why would monks like them not die?
‘Is it because before death, a certain mechanism will be triggered to teleport away directly? Or is it for other reasons? ’
These profound issues, not to mention Li Chengsheng, have not been studied clearly by the major forces, and the monks who have insight into the matter have kept silent in a tacit agreement, so that no one knows at all.
After an hour of understanding, he also figured out why ghosts were so prosperous in this world, and what happened to the so-called ghost day.
It is said that five or six hundred years ago, the immortality in this world was very prosperous. In order to occupy more territory and obtain more resources, the major immortal forces joined forces and launched a massacre against the demons, monsters and other forces!
In the face of the powerful Immortal Dao forces, the other forces were nothing more than crumbling and vulnerable. In just a dozen years, they were beaten to the point where their inheritance was about to be cut off.
At this time, Mo Dao knew that he was helpless, but he was unwilling to die like this.
As a result, he united with the other remaining forces and used his final strength to seize the underworld of this world.
And he made a great vow to become a ghost and eliminate the impurities produced by the world.
As soon as the Great Vow came out, he was immediately protected by the Heavenly Dao, and the underworld was hidden. At this time, the Immortal Dao forces were also much weaker, and they could not find the Underworld at all, and could not completely eradicate it.
I thought that ghosts had too many disadvantages and were not worth paying too much attention to, so I went back.
At first, the strength of Immortal Dao grew rapidly, and in just a few decades, it returned to the level before the war.
