Chapter 1042
The eight ghost kings all looked at Gu Zheng with vigilance.
With their strength, they can naturally see that Gu Zheng is driven by the physical body. There are no simple characters who can enter the underworld with a physical body. They are all ghost kings, old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years, and they know the physical body very well. How terrifying are those who enter the underworld.
In the past, there was a person who mistakenly entered the underworld in the flesh. He was a Daluo Jinxian. After arriving in the underworld, he wanted to go back, but there was no way. In order to go back, he went on a killing spree in the underworld. Even the Daluo Jinxian in the underworld, all Not his match.
In addition to the Daluo Jinxian, there were some people who later came to the underworld. Basically, they all entered under the same premise: they entered by mistake, accidentally, and didn't know how they got in, and then they all wanted to go back.
There are people from ancient times, and there are also practitioners from other planes.
Among these people, the ones with the lowest cultivation level are all golden immortals. Ordinary immortals cannot enter at all. As for mortals, it is even more impossible. If a mortal's body enters the underworld, the yin energy released from the underworld will instantly erode it and directly turn it into a soul.
If a mortal enters the underworld directly, he becomes a ghost and seeks death.
Therefore, people who can enter the underworld in the flesh are not simple. These ghost kings have only heard of people who have entered the underworld in the flesh, but they have never seen them. For them, this is the first time.
"Everyone, I'm here this time. I have something to ask for your help!"
Gu Zheng was not polite at all, and walked over directly, regardless of whether they agreed or not, and sat down at the table. Although ghosts did not have physical bodies, their powerful ghost souls were their physical bodies, and they could still eat and taste delicious food.
The things on the table are pretty good. The underworld is a world of its own anyway, even better than the Three Thousand Small Worlds in later generations. There are still some delicacies here, including wine.
Tao sat down next to Gu Zheng and followed Gu Zheng. He just sat down without saying anything.
"What do you want us to help you with?"
A ghost king stood up and asked Gu Zheng in a deep voice. Gu Zheng raised his head, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Who are you?"
Gu Zheng's words made Changshan Ghost King stunned for a moment, and anger showed on his face. Before he could speak, another person suddenly shouted: "Bold, this is the underworld. No matter who you are, you can't be arrogant here!"
The one who spoke must be a ghost king. Gu Zheng didn't know which ghost king it was, and he was too lazy to know. Gu Zheng didn't say anything, and the reincarnation pen was suddenly thrown out by him. This reincarnation pen was in the prehistoric times, so it can only be said that it was a disrespectful thing. It's an attack magic weapon, but when it comes to the underworld, it's an artifact, the most powerful artifact.
The reincarnation pen passed directly through the ghost king's body. The ghost king didn't even have time to scream, before it turned into black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
In just one move, one ghost king was killed, a powerful ghost king. The remaining seven ghost kings were stunned, gathered together unnaturally, and all looked at Gu Zheng.
"I came to the underworld this time to find three dead souls who died in vain. I am not interested in your power. As long as you listen to my instructions and do what I say, you will be fine. But if you have any small thoughts, Don’t blame me for being rude!”
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, and he summoned the life and death book. The yellow scroll unfolded straight beside Gu Zheng, and the dazzling yellow light shot straight into the sky in an instant.
The human book is born and dies, and it should actually be in the underworld. It was born for the underworld, and here it can play its true role.
The seven ghost kings all stayed there for an instant. The terrifying aura emitted by the life and death book made them feel like they couldn't stand and wanted to kneel down to worship. Each ghost king's body was trembling slightly.
At the same time, there were figures sticking out from many places throughout the underworld, looking up to the sky.
Life and Death Bo appears in the underworld, and any ghost king with a cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian can sense it. These are the real ghost kings, not the ones in front of Gu Zheng. Their cultivation level is only in the late Jinxian stage, leading some little ghosts. The ghost king who reigns supreme.
"Underworld, I'm afraid there won't be any peace!"
Beside the distant Wangchuan River, a slender ghost king stood by the river, looking in the direction of the ancient struggle, and sighed slightly. The thin film of life and death can determine the world of the underworld. The thin film of life and death is originally born with the underworld, but who I don’t know where the books of life and death went after the opening of heaven. Of the three books of heaven, earth, and people, only the book of earth appeared in the human world. The remaining two books have no trace.
This disappearance has lasted for so long, but today, the life and death book appeared, and it appeared in the underworld. It is not known what changes it will bring to the underworld.
"Brother Wang, have you sensed it too?"
A figure suddenly landed next to the slender figure. The person who landed was wearing a black robe, and his head was covered by a black hat. It was impossible to see what he looked like.
"When Renshu appears, no one can sense it!"
The slender figure didn't seem to be interested in the man in black robe and snorted coldly.
"Yes, the lack of knowledge has a great influence on my underworld. I really don't know which lucky person got this treasure of heaven and earth!"
The man in black robe didn't care at all about the tone of the slender figure, and sighed, "These two people, one is named Wang Shuo, the other is named Hu Feng, both have the cultivation level of Daluo Jinxian."
Wang Shuo has reached the middle stage of Da Luo Jinxian, not an ordinary Da Luo Jinxian.
Now is the early days of the prehistoric times. The cultivation of Daluo Jinxian is already difficult. Except for those who existed before the creation of heaven, most of the Daluo Jinxian's cultivation levels are not high. The underworld only existed after the creation of heaven. At this time, his cultivation level can It is already not easy to reach the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian.
Although Hu Feng was only in the early stage of Da Luo Jinxian, he was not an ordinary Da Luo Jinxian. He was a cultivator who existed before the creation of the world, and he was also a cultivator of the demon clan. However, after the creation of the world, he had bad luck and was hunted down by the Wu clan. , at that time, he was only in the Golden Immortal realm, and had no choice but to escape. With good luck, he entered the underworld and practiced in the underworld with his soul. Although he had no physical body, he recovered his strength and successfully advanced to the Daluo Golden Immortal.
These two people were enemies. Hu Feng was almost killed by Wang Shuo, but after fighting for so long, the two became friends, but they usually spoke in this tone, which was not quite right.
"Good luck, you won't see it either!"
A glint flashed in Wang Shuo's eyes. Hu Feng knew that he was an ambitious man who had always wanted to unify the underworld, but he had never been able to do it.
The resistance to unifying the underworld is not the ordinary little ghost kings, but the hidden Daluo Jinxian forces. They don't even look at the ghost kings on the surface. Even if Hu Feng doesn't like to develop his own power, there are many of them. Such a little ghost king belongs to him for his protection.
Without the protection of Daluo Jinxian, it would be impossible for these little ghost kings to gain a foothold.
Therefore, although most of the Daluo Jinxian do not directly command a force, in real terms, their power is not small, and they can summon a group of forces to fight for themselves at any time.
According to Hu Feng's investigation, Wang Shuo controlled more power. Even he didn't know how much power he had. Anyway, the investigation revealed that it was much more than him.
Hu Feng only investigated once, and then he was too lazy to ask. Anyway, he had no ambition to unify the underworld. He just wanted to live a stable life. Whoever ruled the underworld had nothing to do with him.
On Gu Zheng's side, Gu Zheng and Tao were sitting in the center, and the seven ghost kings were standing there. Apart from them, there was no one else in the hall.
Through these seven ghost kings, Gu Zheng also gained a deeper understanding of the forces of the underworld.
These seven ghost kings all have a common Daluo Jinxian behind them, a Daluo Jinxian named Wang San, who has a very common name. Precisely because they belong to the same force, they usually have a good relationship.
Gu Zhengliang was born and died. Although they were not Daluo Jinxian, they faced the life and death book directly and immediately felt the huge pressure. Gu Zheng said whatever he asked, and soon all the secrets were revealed.
"How many Da Luo Jinxian like Wang San are there in the underworld?"
Gu Zheng asked again, knowing that there was a more powerful force behind it, so there was no need to seize these minions. It would be better to find these Da Luo Jinxian to cooperate.
It’s okay if they don’t help, then they can be beaten to help. In short, even if they search the entire underworld, Gu Zheng will find the souls of Wu You and the others.
"We don't know about this. There must be many. The underworld is too big!"
Several ghost kings looked confused, but finally Changshan Ghost King stood up and answered. For ghost kings like them, who are small forces, they really don't know how many people are at the level of Daluo Jinxian.
"You always know where Wang San is!"
Gu Zheng asked again. The seven ghost kings were trembling in their hearts, but they still nodded bitterly. They were the forces that had taken refuge with Wang San. They didn't even know where the boss behind the scenes was, so how could they possibly make it right?
"Yinshan, please go and ask Wang San to come here to talk. I'll wait for him here!"
Gu Zheng said something to the Yinshan Ghost King, and the already pale face of the Yinshan Ghost King immediately showed a cry, looking extremely ferocious and ugly.
"What, you don't want to go?"
Gu Zheng snorted deliberately, revealing his cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage. The Yinshan Ghost King was shocked and shook his head hastily. Although Gu Zheng only had the cultivation level in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage, he had that powerful magic weapon that could crush them and them to death. It was as simple as squeezing an ant to death. In fact, it was the same. His previous companion was easily killed by him.
If these evil spirits want to find the big boss behind the scenes, then they should report it. Be careful when the time comes. It's not that they won't resist, but that they can't resist. I believe the big boss behind the scenes won't make things difficult for him.
After Yinshan Ghost King accepted the order, he left quickly. As for whether he would escape midway, Gu Zheng didn't care at all.
He can give up his own power and run away, and Gu Zheng can still give him a thumbs up. Besides, he can run to nowhere. Gu Zheng is at risk of life and death, and he can recruit more forces. Sooner or later, he can Find him.
The remaining six ghost kings were still standing in front of Gu Zheng. No one dared to move. Gu Zheng ignored them and instead tasted the delicacies of the underworld with peace of mind.
Although the underworld is dark, it is one of the upper realms after all, and the taste of the food still has merit. When he got interested, Gu Zheng even made some delicacies using ingredients from the underworld. He and Tao enjoyed eating them.
The Changshan Ghost King's territory has been occupied by Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng didn't give them any instructions. They just waited. When he was idle and bored, Gu Zheng even used ingredients from the underworld to research food cultivation that could be used by souls.
Ghost cultivators are different from ordinary immortal cultivators. They have no body. Many immortal cultivators can take elixirs, food cultivators, etc., but they cannot do it. They must make something suitable for their souls and constitutions.
I have never tried this in Guzheng before, so I can give it a try this time.
Seven days later, before Gu Zheng's ghost food cultivator could be researched, a red-haired ghost cultivator with long hair descended from the sky. The remaining six ghost kings rushed to greet him, and they all knelt there, not daring to move.
Although no one came to report, just looking at their attitudes let Gu Zheng know that the rightful owner he was waiting for had arrived.
"You are not a ghost cultivator, why did you come to my underworld and kill people from my underworld without permission?"
Seeing Gu Zheng coming out, the red-haired ghost cultivator had a light in his eyes and spoke slowly. Although his tone was not heavy, it was obvious that he was asking for punishment.
"I am not a ghost cultivator, and I am not interested in the underworld. I came here this time purely because of one thing. I want to ask for help from all the Taoist friends in the underworld!"
The person opposite was a Daluo Jinxian. Gu Zheng did not speak in a much gentler tone like he did to the previous ghost kings. In any case, Gu Zheng needed the help of these forces in the underworld. It was impossible for him to find Wu You by himself.
Relying on him alone, it was just like he could not find Tao in the prehistoric world no matter what, even if Tao was actually by his side.
"Please help, is there such an attitude as yours?"
Wang San's tone was still not heavy, but it was aggressive. Gu Zheng smiled and just looked at him without saying anything.
In fact, when Gu Zheng asked the Yinshan Ghost King to go over, he knew that Wang San would definitely come. The Yinshan Ghost King knew that someone in his hand had the Book of Life and Death, and he would definitely tell Wang San about this. With this bait, Gu Zheng was not afraid that he would not take the bait.
For ghost cultivators, the Book of Life and Death is stronger than other magic weapons and is the best treasure. No ghost cultivator can resist this temptation, so Wang San must come.
It is precisely because of this that he had been in the mood to study food there, just waiting for Wang San to come.
If he comes, he will not want to leave.
In fact, this is true. Wang San had sensed the appearance of the Book of Life and Death before, but they could only sense the direction, not the specific location, so Wang San did not move.
The Yinshan Ghost King came to him and told him that someone had entered the underworld in the flesh and carried the Book of Life and Death. The most important thing is that this person was only in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, which made his heart move all of a sudden.
The Book of Life and Death is powerful, but it also depends on who holds it. In the hands of a Golden Immortal, this Golden Immortal can be said to be invincible among the Golden Immortals in the underworld, but it is not applicable to the Golden Immortal of Great Luo. The Book of Life and Death has defensive power, especially the power of ghost cultivators. The power of ghost cultivators can never break through the defense of the Book of Life and Death.
Not only that, the Book of Life and Death also has a powerful offensive power in the underworld. The light of life and death brought by the Book of Life and Death is ineffective against living people, but it is naturally restrained against ghost cultivators. Not to mention the Golden Immortal, even the Golden Immortal of Great Luo cannot resist it.
So the ghost cultivators are so eager for the Book of Life and Death.
If Gu Zheng was a Golden Immortal of Great Luo, he would never come. Coming would be to seek death. He is very relaxed. As a ghost cultivator, he can never be the opponent of the Golden Immortal of Great Luo who has the Book of Life and Death. This is a natural restraint, and there is no way.
But Gu Zheng is a Golden Immortal, and he does not only have the attack methods of ghost cultivators. There have been people who entered the underworld in the flesh before. He once obtained a good magic weapon, which is a one-time attack magic weapon that can release a powerful attack equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, and it is not the attack power of ghost cultivators.
Such an attack can break through the defense of the Book of Life and Death controlled by the Golden Immortal. As long as he can kill this Golden Immortal, the Book of Life and Death will fall into his hands.
With the Book of Life and Death, he is the strongest person in the underworld. At that time, he can unify the underworld and become the real king of the underworld.
Such a temptation cannot help but come.
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not speak, he was not angry, and looked at the Tao next to Gu Zheng.
This is also a physical entry. Before, it was always Gu Zheng who took action, and Tao did not move, so everyone was not very clear about his strength, but Wang San became more cautious and more serious the more he looked.
He found that he could not see through this person.
There are only two reasons for not being able to see through. One is that this person is stronger than himself, and the other is that he has concealed himself. Otherwise, even if he cannot see the other person's true cultivation, it is probably still possible.
Each realm is different. People of lower realms cannot see through practitioners of higher realms, but people of higher realms can see some of those of lower realms.
Not being able to see through is definitely not good news for him. It means that this person can either conceal himself or is not weaker than himself.
If the former is better, but if it is the latter, the other party has the Book of Life and Death. If his attack cannot kill the other party, he will probably run away, otherwise he may not be able to run away.
After understanding these, Wang San did not hesitate and suddenly summoned his magic weapon, but before he used the magic weapon, the eyes turned into a ball of blood, and Tao took the lead.
Today's Tao is not the innocent boy with no experience at the beginning. When Wang San stared at him, he had already guessed the other party's thoughts. He didn't know what means the other party had, but no matter what means, it was always right to strike first.
He has been doing this all along, taking the initiative to gain the upper hand.
Tao's blood stains, even Zhao Gongming couldn't get rid of them, let alone Wang San, a ghost cultivator. Wang San immediately became confused in the blood stains, and soon several wounds appeared on his body. Ghost cultivators have no flesh, and no blood. What flows in their bodies is the essence of their own cultivation.
In just a moment, Wang San felt that one-third of his strength disappeared, which surprised him.
Wang San was surprised, and Tao was also surprised, but Wang San was shocked, and he was pleasantly surprised. Although the ghost cultivator's body had no blood, his blood knife could directly absorb the energy in the ghost cultivator's body, which was better than directly absorbing blood.
This discovery made him ecstatic. Doesn't this mean that the underworld has become his best place for cultivation, where he can definitely improve his cultivation quickly.
