New Times, New Hell

It is said that the realm of hungry ghosts comes from the ignorance of all living beings and overlaps with the human world, but the realm of hungry ghosts cannot be seen in the human world, and the realm of hungry ghosts cannot be seen in the human world.

However, there may be gaps in the Hungry Ghost Dao under certain circumstances, which is why Xishan Ghost Mother and Yu Zhengdu said that in the past, ghosts often strayed into the Hungry Ghost Dao by mistake.

Obviously, this lost freighter sailed into a gap that should not have appeared by mistake, so it broke into the Nether Sea and entered another world. It is no wonder that such a large ship suddenly disappeared without a trace No trace, not even a signal.

Although the Hungry Ghost Realm is in the human world, the coordinates of the two worlds are not in one-to-one correspondence, but are constantly changing. Therefore, even Shang Que, under normal circumstances, cannot accurately find people in the Hungry Ghost Realm.

What's more, it is on the boundless sea of ​​darkness.

But this freighter was lucky enough to meet Hungry Ghost Road's infrastructure construction, and it happened to appear in a place where the signal could cover.

Zeng Xin's eyes were straight at this time, and she quickly confirmed with the team members on the walkie-talkie: "Is there a signal from the freighter? Can you locate it?"

The reply I got was still exactly the same as before, there was no signal, and I couldn't locate it.

Zeng Xin then looked at the moving red dot on Yu Zhengdu's phone: "How did you locate it?"

Yu Zhengdu still said: "The technical principles are different."

Zeng Xin was silent, and after a while said: "Your company's technology is really advanced."

Yu Zhengdu smiled and said nothing, just went to see Shang Que.

With accurate positioning, Shang Que can naturally rescue the freighter.

Shang Que identified the positioning location displayed on Yu Zhengdu's mobile phone, then walked to the bow of the boat, facing the vast and deep sea, closing his eyes and concentrating.

The sea wind howled, and the passenger ship shook violently. Yu Zhengdu, Zeng Xin and others had to hold on to the railings and pillars to barely stand still, but Shang Que remained motionless, like a god standing upright, and nothing in the world could knock him down.

The lights on the passenger ship suddenly went out, and the deck fell into boundless darkness for an instant. Only the stars in the sky remained, dotted on the black dome. There was quite a commotion.

Zeng Xin frowned: "What's going on?"

"Don't worry, I'm doing it, normal interference." Yu Zhengdu said in a deep voice.

Zeng Xin: "..." She also knew that most of the people Ming Peiran invited were of metaphysics.

But the problem is, she just accepted that this is a high-tech company...

In the darkness, Shang Que stretched out his right hand towards the sea, with his palm facing up, a black seal appeared on his palm, and then he turned his palm, and the seal changed into a long black sword.

Shang Que grasped the hilt of the sword and swiped towards the open sea. Where the sword pointed, the sea suddenly surged up and moved wildly to both sides.

The long sword disappeared from the void, and the lights on the passenger ship turned on again. Only then did the rescue team see the scene in front of them clearly. Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes opened to the maximum uncontrollably.

As far as the eye can see, the turbulent sea and the starry black dome are connected together. The sea level at night is not very clear, and the sky and the sea blend together, like a huge black curtain.

But now, the huge curtain seems to have been pierced with a long opening from top to bottom by some sharp weapon, and the slender opening is filled with terrifying blood red. Looking from a distance, it seems that a dark night has been cut out. From the wound, sticky and smelly blood will flow out at any time.

The disappearing freighter slowly sailed out of the crack.

The scene was so strange that everyone at the scene thought they were blinded, and hurried forward, leaning on the railing and leaning forward, trying to see the scene clearly.

The speedboats scattered in the surrounding seas seemed to have noticed the scene in the distance, and turned around to approach the huge freighter.

But the distance was too far, and the night was dark. The blood red was firmly confined in the slender gap, and was half blocked by the giant wheel. No matter how wide their eyes were, they couldn't distinguish clearly.

As the giant ship sailed out, the bloody wound on its back gradually healed. When the hull completely left the gap, the gap was completely closed, and the sky and sea returned to darkness. This strange scene seemed to have never happened before.

"There is a signal! There is a signal!" The rescue team shouted.

The staff on the passenger ship immediately took action in a well-trained manner, and Zeng Xin didn't care about understanding the situation with Shang Que, so she turned around and directed the rescue work.

After a while, someone shouted nervously: "Doctor, get ready, someone on the cargo ship has an acute myocardial infarction and needs to be rescued."

Zeng Xin tensed up all of a sudden, and asked, "What's going on?"

The staff member replied: "I don't know yet. It is said that the colleague happened to be on vacation. He was playing with his mobile phone in the cabin. For some reason, he suddenly yelled and went into shock..."

"Hurry up, there is not enough first aid equipment on the cargo ship!"

"It seems to have been in shock for a while, and I don't know if it can be saved."

Just as he was talking, the person from the freight company suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Zhengdu, with a strange expression on his face: "The colleague in shock is that 'surfing the Internet even if he dies'..."

In fact, when Yu Zhengdu used Luo Feng's system to locate the crew member, he had roughly guessed the situation.

The mobile phone of a living person cannot be searched and connected to the network of the underworld. The crew member was able to connect to the wifi of the hungry ghost at the needle mouth, probably something happened, but I didn’t expect that the first thing this person did after hanging up was to continue playing with his mobile phone , it can be seen that his mobile phone ID is not just for fun.

Because it was expected, when the staff member looked over, Yu Zhengdu was also ready to respond with a surprised expression: "No way?"

His acting skills are superb and impeccable, the staff member saw that it was probably a coincidence, so he quickly turned around and continued with the work at hand.

The rescue team was in close contact with the freighter, and the two ships quickly came together.

Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que boarded the freighter with the rescue team, and rushed to the cabin under the leadership of the crew, where two doctors on board were giving first aid to a crew member lying on the ground.

The crew members in shock had their eyes closed tightly, and the eyes were black and black from lack of sleep, and their facial features were still tightly knit together, as if they had been frightened before fainting.

A fellow crew member next to him was explaining the situation to the rescue team: "...He plays with his mobile phone whenever he has time, and today he takes turns off. He stayed up all night last night. Is he too tired?"

This person spoke in a rather tactful way, and didn't directly mention sudden death.

Yu Zhengdu scanned the cabin while listening to the explanation. The crew members in shock were located next to a window, and Yu Zhengdu roughly had a guess in his mind.

The lack of rest and poor mental state of the crew may lead to low luck. In this case, the eyes may see pictures that ordinary people should not see, and what he said to the window...

Yu Zhengdu finally fixed his eyes on the body of the shocked crew member, where there was a living soul that the rescue team couldn't see.

The faces of the living souls were exactly the same as those of the crew members lying on the ground. They were sitting on the side with their knees bent, mechanically pressing their mobile phones with both hands, looking fascinated, but their eyes seemed a little dull, and they did not respond to the sudden influx of people.

Yu Zhengdu was a little puzzled: "What's the situation?"

Shang Que looked at the living soul, and said lightly: "The fright is too much, the soul is just unstable."

People have three souls and seven souls, and when they are severely frightened, their souls may become unstable. At this time, the three souls may leave the body, but the seven souls are still there.

People at this time have not actually died, which is commonly referred to as the phenomenon of "fake death", while the living soul who has left the body is incomplete and its consciousness is in a chaotic state, so it can only do certain things mechanically based on instinct.

Yu Zhengdu was speechless for a moment: ... the instinct behind this buddy's soul is to play with his mobile phone!

Yu Zhengdu asked Shang Que: "Do we need to do it?"

Shang Que: "No need."

Just as he was talking, there was a cheering voice in front of him: "Wake up, wake up!"

With the addition of doctors from the rescue team, they also brought new medical tools. Several doctors worked together to resuscitate the crew member and finally revived him.

Yu Zhengdu looked up again, and the chaotic living soul next to him had disappeared, probably returning to the crew's physical body.

The crewman slowly opened his eyes. When he saw a pile of human heads in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then he woke up suddenly. He struggled wildly with his hands and feet, and shouted: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh everyone, run away!" ah!"

"The sea is full of blood, and there are many hands on the window!"

"Scared me to death—don't believe me, just see for yourself—"

The crew member tremblingly turned to look in the direction of the window while talking, and then: "...huh?"

Outside the window, the black sea was no different from any previous night.

The doctor concluded: "It should be a hallucination caused by insufficient rest."

"No, I think it's very real!" The crew member said stubbornly, then scratched his head and muttered in a daze, "And I seemed to have a dream, dreaming that I was connected to a strange wifi, It's called milk tea... what is milk tea... ah, 'milk tea is the best'!"

"What else... Oh, why can't I remember?"

Others: ==

The cargo ship and the rescue team's boat were moored into Nu Hai Port, and everyone was relieved. The rescue was safe and sound, but no one could tell what happened to the cargo ship. Naturally, Yu Zhengdu couldn't tell the truth. Just vaguely use the theory of ghost trek to confuse the past.

The people from the port and freight company wanted to inquire more, but Zeng Xin sent them away. This time they used Ming Peiran's relationship, and they couldn't understand many things.

Zeng Xin was warned by Ming Peiran in advance, and she didn't ask too much detail. She only expressed her gratitude to Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que on behalf of the rescue team, and the follow-up pennant bonus is inevitable.

After explaining the basic things, Zeng Xin asked: "Mr. Yu, you are tired after a busy night. How about I find someone to arrange a place for you to rest?"

"No need." Yu Zhengdu waved his hand, "We still have something to do, you should do yours first."

Zeng Xin asked a few more questions to make sure they had other arrangements, so she didn't push her any further. She had to direct the work herself, so she didn't stay any longer, and said, "Then contact me if you need anything."

Yu Zhengdu nodded: "Okay, thank you."

When Zeng Xin walked away, Yu Zhengdu looked at the time and said, "Shall we go to Impassable Mountain now?"

Shang Que didn't answer, but turned around and hugged him: "Let's watch the sunrise together."

At this time, the sky was dim and bright, the black water gradually turned dark blue, and the sea breeze also eased.

Yu Zhengdu smiled: "Okay."

The two stood side by side on the edge of the pier, watching the sea level slowly turn red in the distance, the sun revealed its outline, and the red glow covered the sea surface, dyeing the sea water into a blood-like rust color.

The whistle sounded, and another ship slowly sailed out of the port, heading for an unknown distance.

Yu Zhengdu's face suddenly changed, and he shouted for no reason: "It's the Nether Sea!"

His voice was terrified, causing Shang Que to look over quickly: "What's wrong?"

"I remembered!" Yu Zhengdu's breathing suddenly became rapid, his hands trembling slightly took out the Zhong Kui mask and put it on his face, through the eyeholes of the mask, his eyes were filled with intense anxiety, "I remembered what I saw that day!"

Fallen cities, ghostly seas, ghost towns, giant shadows...

Shang Que frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Yu Zhengdu actually doesn't remember very clearly, but maybe Shang Que gave him enough magic power to protect him when he jumped to the official position last night, maybe it was the ceremony of the jumping to the official position that gave him a temporary divine power, or maybe it reappeared The Nether Sea reminded him... But it doesn't matter now, what matters is the scene he saw that day.

Even if the memory is a bit incomplete, it is enough.

As Yu Zhengdu recounted what he saw that day, Shang Que's face gradually became serious.

"What the hell is going on?" As the memory resurfaced again, the trembling feeling hit Yu Zhengdu's heart again, and his arms were uncontrollably covered with goosebumps, "Is it just an illusion?"

Shang Que asked him, "Are you sure the collapsed city is a floating city?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Yu Zhengdu asked.

Shang Que looked at him with deep eyes: "Do you know why I set Luo Feng's headquarters in Fucheng?"

Yu Zhengdu subconsciously shook his head, then suddenly paused.

"Because...the floating city is where the ghost city of Fengdu sank 1000 years ago." Shang Que said, his tone was very light, but his gaze was serious, "The mountain range of Luofeng Mountain traverses the entire Netherworld, and the place where its main peak is located is now The location of Impassable Mountain."

Yu Zhengdu was taken aback.

Shang Que suddenly smiled softly, "That's why our company's jade must be purchased in Judgment Mountain."

The jade produced in Juejing Mountain is not good in quality, with many impurities and a lot of black stones. It cannot enter the high-end jade market at all. In the tourist spots of Juejing Mountain, you can buy two jade bracelets for ten yuan.

The price of Luo Feng's jade is extremely high, but the raw materials used have always been from Judgment Mountain. Many people always think that it is because the cost is cheap. After Luo Feng's customers increase, it is not that no one has proposed to replace it with better quality. jade, but Shang Que never agreed.

At this time, Yu Zhengdu finally knew the reason.

Those jade stones, in a sense, may be the real jade stones with the power of Luofeng Mountain.

That's why the ghost emperor set the prayer ceremony at Juejing Mountain.

The Nether Sea connects the realm of hungry ghosts, the world of humans, and Luofeng Mountain.

But even if he knew that the sights that Yu Zhengdu saw were the fallen floating city, the sea of ​​darkness and the ghost city of Fengdu, he still couldn't understand what it meant?

The uneasiness in Yu Zhengdu's heart became more intense, and he asked, "If the ghost city of Fengdu returns to the human world, will the entire floating city be destroyed?"

"No." Shang Que shook his head, which is why he couldn't explain those pictures, "Fengdu Ghost City is already another existence in the human world."

Just as mortals in this world cannot see ghosts, even if Fengdu Ghost City returns to the human world, it will only overlap with the human world.

The difference is that when the aura of heaven and earth is abundant, even if it overlaps with the human world, it can be separated by a barrier to open up a different world, such as the world of hungry ghosts, but this possibility is no longer available.

Shang Que's refusal to join hands with the Ghost Emperor to revive the ghost city is not because the ghost city will cause the collapse of the world, but because once the two worlds overlap, it will have a huge impact on the lives of residents on both sides.

Shang Que looked at him: "Do you suspect that what you saw was the scene of a ghost city returning to the human world?"

"It's reasonable, isn't it?" Yu Zhengdu asked back. It stands to reason that what he saw was indeed the resurrection of Fengdu Ghost City, but the question is, why did the floating city fall?

Knowing that Yu Zhengdu never worried for no reason, Shang Que asked, "What else did you see?"

"Giant Shadow..." Yu Zhengdu was startled suddenly, "It's an extremely evil ghost!"

Shang Que: "An extremely evil ghost?"

"Yes, an extremely evil ghost!" Yu Zhengdu looked at Shang Que, "Crawled out of the sea of ​​darkness!"

In the realm of hungry ghosts, the torch-mouthed hungry ghost reincarnated by Hong Gentou once said that there is another way for hungry ghosts to leave the realm of hungry ghosts besides offsetting their sins and entering reincarnation in the karmic retribution, which is to eat If the next thousand ghosts become extremely evil ghosts, they can swim across the sea of ​​darkness and return to the human world.

The torch mouth hungry ghost successfully swallowed a thousand ghosts and turned into an extremely evil ghost, but in the end he failed to go to the Nether Sea, but was burned to death by the immeasurable karmic fire attracted by Shang Que, and fell into the black lake.

But the image of the extremely evil ghost still left a big shadow on Yu Zhengdu. The outline of the giant shadow he saw coincided with the extremely evil ghost.

Yu Zhengdu's brows became tighter: "Could it be?"

Shang Que's gaze became dangerous: "King Qin Guang raised more than one extremely evil ghost in the Hungry Ghost Dao..."

After the torch mouth hungry ghost was burned to death, the hungry ghost realm returned to peace. They then left the hungry ghost realm and sent people to carry out infrastructure construction. Nothing happened, and they gradually forgot about the extremely evil ghost.

Now that I think about it, Jiang has raised an evil ghost in the Hungry Ghost Dao for who knows how long, maybe there are other extremely evil ghosts who have gone to the Nether Sea long ago.

"If an extremely evil ghost comes to the world..." Shang Que's eyes darkened.

Lives are devastated and cities fall.

Yu Zhengdu finally understood: "What I see...is the future."

The author has something to say: the introduction of Yushi and Impassable Mountain is in Chapter 18, I think you must have forgotten it.

Chapter 106 also mentions that another part of the Nether Sea is under Luofeng Mountain.
