Chapter 911 - Ghost Envoys
Chapter 911 – Ghost Envoys
Passing through a stone bridge engraved with the words’ Rebirth ‘, they entered a field of red flowers blooming on the other side of the river. The colors here were a little blurry, making people feel like a master of the art world accidentally sprinkled ink on it, causing the entire world to look dark. He had knocked over the cinnabar when he was in a hurry, so there waint of red here.
This flower’s color was outrageously bright, but An Zheng disliked it from the first glance.
No matter what, the flower was eerie, like the red tongue of a dead man.
An Zheng walked along the small path in the sea of flowers, taking out the hair left behind by the Divisions Monk from his spatial artifact, in an attempt to find the aura of the Divisions. But hell was too big, it was not the yard of anyone’s house. If one put a fart next to a fart in a yard, it could be polluted. Those with better noses could even distinguish what those farting people ate.
Emptiness.
This was An Zheng’s first impression of hell. Looking around, to the end of his line of sight, was that grayish-black desert. There were people who once said that every inch of land in the Infernal Realm was strewn with the ashes of dead people. When An Zheng saw the scene in the Infernal Realm, he did believe them somewhat. The ashes of the dead were also nutrients, which was why the sea of flowers was so flourishing.
After walking for about two hours, they finally saw the end of the open space. There was actually a small town there. The town was filled with people, and it looked as if they were living in the mortal world. None of them looked like dead people. It was as if they had just casually walked into a village in Da Xi. There were actually various things being sold on the streets. An Zheng curiously walked over to take a look, and then, his expression changed.
The first booth was filled with heads and blood. The man selling the human head saw An Zheng and immediately stood up and laughed: “Which one do you like? I can’t taste it. Last time, a few guys insisted on tasting it, but in the end, they bit off more than half of it, so how could I sell it? These are fresh ones, smell them if you don’t believe me. The ones beside us were from yesterday. Although it’s not very fresh, it doesn’t affect our tastes. ”
An Zheng asked, “Why do you need to eat this?”
The hawker looked at An Zheng with an astonished expression, “Are you really from hell? He even asked why he ate this. The Infernal Realm was full of dead people, but dead people also had their own rules. Those who died to maintain order were the ghost servants’ favorite food. Eating the brains of strangers can increase their ability, which is great nourishment. But of course we can’t go out to eat strangers, so we have our business. In the mortal world, people were dying every day. Some corpses would be burnt, while others would be buried. When they were in the mortal world, they often heard people saying that burying in the ground was to be peace … “Pah pah, you’ll only feel uneasy after you’re buried.”
“These corpses were stolen by people who specialized in this field after they were buried. The corpses were relatively cheaper and the heads and hearts of people were more expensive. Especially the hearts of the people, it’s not easy to preserve.”
He opened a box. Inside, there waiece of ice holding down a heart. It looked like it was still beating.
“How is it? Exquisite, right? ”
The peddler said proudly, “I dare to tell you, there’s no one else in the whole town. Unfortunately, I can only show it to you. There is a Messenger who has already decided with me that I can’t sell it to you. However, since you’re a new customer, this way, I’ll give you a fresh head for a cheaper price. ”
An Zheng: “What did you accept? It’s also gold and silver? ”
The hawker became even more confused, “Who the hell are you? Why didn’t he know anything? This is hell, what’s the use of having gold and silver? ”
An Zheng said: “I just came in, and I don’t know anything yet.”
The peddler laughed out loud, “Then no wonder... What was being traded here was naturally not gold or silver. Those things were only valuable in the Mortal Realm, and were not worth a single cent here. It seems that you are already an outstanding cultivator in the Mortal Realm, and you will be even more impressive in the future. I fawn on you, give you a favor, this head will give you one. If it’s delicious, come find me again. I’ll give you a discount. ”
He lowered his head and picked at his stall, picking out a big head. He held it up by the hair and said, “This one, this one is good. Let me tell you, the transaction here is in precious currency, and I expected you to die not too long ago, so you don’t have much. ”
An Zheng acknowledged, “In other words, there is an organization that used a special method to leave the Infernal Realm to steal fresh corpses and then sell them, right?”
“Where’s the special channel?”
The hawker approached An Zheng and said sinisterly: “Three feet below the ground is hell, you don’t know? If a person died, it would belong to hell. The corpse could also be considered something from hell, so how could it be considered a thief? Only when there’s a need can there brade. You people don’t have a need, so who would do this? “Do you want it or not? If you don’t, I’ll keep it for sale.”
An Zheng shook her head: “We are all humans, even if others die they will not be able to live peacefully, don’t you think that is a bit too much?”
“What kind of joke is this? Do you think you’re a moral saint?”
The hawker curled his lips. “If you don’t want it, then hurry up and leave. I’m not going to do your business.”
An Zheng: “I don’t want it, and I wanted to give you another head to put here aresent.”
“Where?”
“Here.”
An Zheng raised the broken sword and swept it, causing the peddler’s head to fall to the ground. An Zheng picked up the human head and placed it on the stall, he turned his head to look, only to see the headless corpse of the packman running far away, but because he had lost his head and could not see the road, he smashed into other people’s stall. It fell down, groping on the ground with both hands, then got up and ran. However, the head on the booth opened its mouth and shouted, “Someone come quickly, someone is causing trouble here.”
At this moment, a black streak of light quickly flew over from the distance. He looked like a middle-aged man dressed in black, and his expression was rather cold. He rushed in front of An Zheng, and carefully sized him up a few times. “A stranger?”
An Zheng nodded.
The black clothed middle-aged man’s expression changed greatly: “You … “Since you’re a stranger, how did you get in?”
An Zheng: “I have my own ways, and who are you.”
“I am an emissary, everything within a few hundred miles is under my control. Since you came in as a stranger, I am definitely not your match. However, in hell, you have to follow the rules of hell … I, I advise you not to be too presumptuous. After all, this is not the Mortal Realm. If you cause trouble, the Heavenly Dao will not tolerate it. ”
An Zheng pointed at the heads on the stalls, as well as the heart that had already landed on the ground and stopped beating: “Are these acceptable?”
The Messenger’s face turned pale: “These … Naturally, there was a need for these things to exist. This is the rule of hell, you are a stranger, don’t spout nonsense here. I’ll give you a chance, hurry up and leave. ”
An Zheng: “If you were to find relatives within these human heads, such as your son and your grandson, will you still be able to continue eating?”
“Of course there will be no family.”
“So if you eat someone’s son, grandson, wife, and friend, you feel that there’s nothing wrong, right? However, have you thought about why no one would dare to take the corpses of their relatives since you are an emissary of ghosts within a radius of several hundred miles? But in other places, where are the other devils? ”
The Demon Envoy’s face became even paler, “Then... That other place is not under my control, I, I have no way. ”
An Zheng sighed, “If these are the rules of hell, then it’s fine if you don’t want them.”
He looked around him, “All the people on this street are in the business of dead bodies. Since you mentioned the Heavenly Dao, let me say a few more words.” What is the Heavenly Dao? The Dao of the Heavens is what people desired. As long as the human heart was normal, such a situation wouldn’t be allowed to happen. In the mortal world, I met a man who stole someone else’s child and sold it to others, but he was looking for his own child. This place is full of corpses. Have you thought about how much your corpses are worth? ”
The Messenger turned and ran.
An Zheng raised his hand and an invisible hand grabbed onto the Ghost Messenger’s nape. An Zheng reached out and pulled, causing the Demon Envoy’s body to involuntarily fly back.
“I still need you to lead the way, so I won’t kill you. However, none of the people here who buy and sell corpses can be left alive. ”
An Zheng pressed his hand down, and a Heavenly Thunder of Nine Suns descended. The Ghost Messenger was so scared that his face turned pale. He watched as the whole town was reduced to ruins. All the houses, including the people, disappeared in one move.
An Zheng looked at the ruins and said, “I am in the mortal world, on trial, on life and death. The power I control has a seal, reincarnation. The people I killed weren’t on the path of reincarnation, but the ghosts I killed, turned to dust. ”
He looked at the Messenger, “Do you know where in the past few days there have been great battles in the Infernal Realm?”
The Ghost Messenger shook his head subconsciously, “Since the disappearance of the eighteen palace Prefecture Lord, and the disappearance of Duke Da Zang Ming, there has been a huge battle here for a long time … Ah, I remember hearing about it before. One thousand six hundred miles to the west, someone had seen the rebirth of the Great Hidden Lord. He said that he killed a very fierce person who was once the ruler of this generation, and then he disappeared. “If you want to find that monk, then head west.”
An Zheng said coldly: “Lead the way.”
The Messenger kneeled down immediately, “Celestial Sovereign, I beg of you. I am only a small ghost envoy in a circumference of a few hundred miles. How would I dare to provoke a supreme existence like Great Hidden Lord Ming? ”
“I’m not here to kill him. I’m here to save him.”
An Zheng started striding towards the west: “Lead the way, otherwise you’ll be turned into ashes now.”
The Messenger trembled in fear and could only get up to lead the way. As he walked, he turned his head to look at the village, as if he was still reluctant to leave.
“Celestial Sovereign, what are you doing in hell?”
“I said it already. Save him.”
An Zheng looked ahead: “Go faster, I’m in a hurry.”
1600 miles in the Infernal Realm, the scene was almost identical. One would only see a small town after walking for a few hundred miles, and not all towns had people who sold corpses to others.
“Why is there someone living in hell?”
An Zheng asked.
The Messenger said as he walked, “Actually, it’s unfair everywhere, including hell. A person like me, when alive, was a cultivator, and so after I died, my soul was slightly stronger than others. When we get to hell, people like us will either be chosen by the emissaries to become the emissaries, and then we’ll be able to reconstruct our bodies by devouring fresh flesh and blood. The dead meat was called ‘big meat’. The more he ate, the more solid his body would become. However, after eating the flesh of the dead, I can’t reincarnate anymore. ”
The Messenger said, “If you are not selected by the Messenger, go steal other people’s treasured banknotes and buy a head to eat. Then, you can also quickly condense your physical body.”
“Why did they choose not to enter Samsara?”
The Demon Envoy was silent for a moment, and then, he turned to look at An Zheng. “Because there’s an extremely happy world here, and only those who have condensed their flesh and blood can go there. The place I want to take you to is actually not far from the Extreme Paradise. It’s just that I’m too poor to enter. ”
An Zheng acknowledged as he raised his head to look into the distance.
There, a purple light shot into the sky.
