1200 Ghostly Realm 4

king coldly at me, but now...It turns out that it's not just a woman's heart that can be warmed, but a god's heart can melt tooJiang Qiyun's big hand held my waist, gently pulling away a bit so as not...Mu Wanchen was cautious and did not immediately answer Luo Hu Xingjun's words.

He led us back to the massive stone palace within the inner city and had us sit down to speak.

"After all, Ji Dou Xingjun is a celestial god from the upper realm. Even if Shenwu wanted to imprison him, it would only be a minor punishment. He caused a big commotion and even beheaded an ancient monster…"

The God Witch's personality is quite paranoid and protective. Although the old monster is trying to gain a foothold here, he is after all a descendant of the Witch Clan and has some of the God Witch's bloodline. Dealing with traitors is also a matter for the God Witches themselves. Besides, that Ji Xingjun's temperament clashed with the God Witch, getting sucked into the Ghost City by the mirage and trapped inside... this itself was like a warning.

“If we can wait until the diviner's anger subsides, and then plead with him properly, he should release him.”

Mu Wanchen said that.

But his fingers, stained with tea, wrote a few characters on the table.

...

...

Keep...

Heart.

Is Mars guarding the heart

The tea dissipated quickly, and the characters he wrote were all traditional Chinese characters. I looked up at him and confirmed with him using my mouth.

He lowered his eyelashes slightly, indicating that he was right.

Like a flickering flame, with an unpredictable course, the phenomenon of this star lingering in "Heart" is called the *Huoxing Shou Xin*.

Throughout history, such celestial phenomena recorded in historical annals have always symbolized extremely unfortunate events that will befall the mortal realm.

Ancient emperors all greatly feared this "great ill omen".

This all seems to correspond to the most fearful things for an emperor, either death or the division of territory.

Even beyond the Three Realms, there are still sun, moon, stars.

Astrology is a very important revelation for the people here.

“The reason why such a commotion has been caused, and yet no divine shaman has sent a messenger to inquire, is because of this celestial phenomenon.” Mu Wanchen said calmly.

"Otherwise, you might have been swallowed by the mirages and trapped in a labyrinth within the Ghost Realm, unable to escape."

"What are the shamans doing now" I asked.

Wouldn't they all be thinking of ways to escape Do they even need to escape

The little boy looked at me with curiosity and whispered, “It's like when immortals face tribulations. At times like these, they wouldn't want to make much noise, mostly shutting themselves away for meditation and cultivation, waiting for the tribulation to pass… Although tribulations are hard to escape, most of them are caused by one's own karma.”

Therefore, the celestial gods and immortals are unwilling to be involved in the mundane affairs of the lower realm. They all isolate themselves in the White Cloud Immortal Abode.

After being enveloped by the ghost realm and mirages, he became shrouded in mystery, his whereabouts unknown.

Fleeting mirages rise and fall, islands vanish from sight.

Ancient people discovered that the mirage phenomenon mostly appeared over the sea.

That day we found the Red-clothed Ghost Woman fleeing back towards town. It wasn't far from the sea, she just took a big loop, going around a forest.

It is said that within the vast expanse, there are four seas, and within those four seas, there are nine states.

I'm increasingly amazed by the ancients. They recorded five mystical mountains floating on the sea, each spanning 30,000 miles at their base and 9,000 miles at their peak. Concerned that they would drift to the Westernmost region, a deity ordered a giant turtle named Giant Turtle to anchor them. Later, a giant fisherman lured and killed several of these turtles. As a result, two of the mountains disappeared without a trace.

Think about the map of continents we see in our geography books, aren't two continents drifting towards "the West Pole"

"...The diviner must have foreseen the celestial signs, so they chose to imprison the intruding monster and scheme first, unwilling to cause a commotion. And we were put up here because the diviner sent emissaries to deliver a message." Mu Wanchen frowned.

Messenger

"Could that have been the fairy from just now" I thought, remembering the strange smell she had.

"Well, she was born on this land and skilled at setting traps, so she's been in charge of the city ever since." Mu Wanchen reminded me, "She is a messenger of the God Witch, it's hard to tell if she's friend or foe, you have to be careful."

I wouldn't want to get too close to her... Being near her, I had to cover my nose and it was rude, but not covering it made me feel sick.

While ordinary people might not notice, my sense of smell is getting close to that of a dog's now.

The little boy looked at Lord Luo Hu and whispered, "Let's follow Mu Wanchen and hide quietly. Don't cause any more trouble... Wait until the next time the mirage appears, and we'll sneak in together..."

"You can't just barge in. You need to use talisman water," Mu Wanchen lightly tapped the table with his fingers. "That place is after all a haunt of ghosts. Although the ghost realm here isn't like the Three Realms, where there are clear boundaries between yin and yang, the yin energy here is extremely heavy. At best, it will deplete your essence and cultivation, at worst, your yang energy could be completely drained..."

"In three days," he said with conviction, "today the gates of Ghost City were forcefully opened and hastily closed. When the miasma returns to its normal cycle of inhalation and exhalation, the Netherworld will be wide open, and restless spirits will unconsciously drift out. Some powerful vengeful spirits may even roam about."

I frowned, it was like the Ghost Festival in July on Earth when the gates of hell are wide open.

Yin and Yang ultimately need a momentary collision to maintain the balance of mutual growth and restraint. This moment should be our opportune time to reach out to others.

"You said, will the Lord of Jiuding Star suffer any grievances..." I asked in a low voice. We don't mind waiting three more days, but for the Lord of Jiuding Star, wouldn't each day feel like a year

Luohu Xingjun closed his eyes slightly and uttered four unexpected words——

"You reap what you sow."

The little boy mumbled with a hint of displeasure, “To think he’s the Star Jun from our upper realm, it’s not quite right to keep him confined like this… By the way, has Lord Ji Dou Star done anything offensive”

"No, why do you ask" Mu Wanchen shook his head.

“He came for the Goddess Wu, I suspect. He must have been very interested in the legends about her and admired this goddess who dared to defy heaven. That’s why he rushed in without hesitation.” The little boy scoffed, “Who knows he would be swallowed by the mirage and enter the ghost realm, that’s quite a restraint for him…”

"Restrain him" Ji Douxingjun is a celestial being! Are celestial beings afraid of ghosts

The Luo Hu Xingjun said faintly, “Ji is the lunar eclipse god. He assists the Taiyin and the sun in maintaining balance in the upper realm. If he goes to a place where yin energy is extremely heavy, his power will be difficult to control and problems will arise... This is why he is particularly unwilling to go to the underworld and confront the emperor.”

The little boy replied, "If it's Luo Hu Xingjun trapped inside, I'm afraid the yin energy inside would dissipate by half. Hehehe... Even Ji Du Xingjun was once tricked and almost had his divine mind eroded by demons."

"Then he wouldn't be..." being eroded by the divine, would he

I can't even imagine what would happen if Ji Dongxing was corrupted. He's already so forceful, we wouldn't stand a chance against him if his mind was taken over.

Luo Hu Xingjun replied coldly: "Speculation is useless, we will see the outcome in three days... The ancient Yuanshen's feather-shedding body transformed into a Shenwu. We are all juniors, and direct confrontation is against etiquette. But if things truly come to a head..."

"Psst!" the little boy quickly hushed Luo Hu Xingjun, "Tai Yi the Supreme God is worried that we might get carried away, so he told me to come along! Don't be so quick to anger, you should have reverence for the divine witches—" night vision goggles from his hand speechless.In the pitch-black environment, looking at things with this night vision device is quite frightening.especially in this stifling atmosphere.What you see...
