Chapter 151 Clues, Weird Attitude
If Zhou Heng hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a situation would happen.
The ghosts are the leaders, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops composed of ghosts and humans in the conquest. Although the leaders fighting on the opposite side are humans, the army behind them is also composed of ghosts and humans.
In fact, both sides are mostly filled with ghosts.
what happened?
Zhou Heng originally thought that what Wan Shankong said earlier was just nonsense meant to disturb people's minds, but he did not expect that what he said was actually true.
During the Battle of Tianyang, did ghosts really participate in the battle and fight side by side with humans?
How outrageous!
Then the screen changed.
Zhou Heng saw a huge circular altar with a diameter of at least a hundred feet. Seventy-two lamps were burning on the edge of the altar, all with faint blue flames.
Under the night, there was no bright moon or stars, only these faint blue firelights barely illuminated the darkness.
You can see tens of thousands of people kneeling under the altar, and behind them is a huge palace complex, magnificent and majestic.
This seems to be in a huge palace.
In the center of the altar, three people stood.
One of them stood not far from the center of the altar. He was wearing a red robe and a jade crown. He was a man in his thirties, with an indifferent expression and a majestic demeanor.
His body shape is quite simple, but he is obviously of noble status and is not the attire of an ordinary person.
The other person was standing in the center of the altar. He was tall and strong, at least nine feet tall. He stood there like a little giant, very fierce.
It is Wan Shan Kong.
As for the third person, I don’t know if he can be called a human being. This is a purple-black mist, suspended in the air, outlining a human shape, but it has no entity.
"With this ceremony, you will turn into a ghost, and you will never have a chance to regret it." The majestic man in red uniform said solemnly: "Shankong, you are my most capable general, and you are already a fifth-grade man at a young age. Grandmaster, it is possible to reach the fourth rank in the future, but you must think clearly.”
"I am willing to be a ghost for His Highness!" Wan Shankong knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I will never regret it!"
…
The scene ends here.
The memory crystal was shattered and there was no follow-up.
After all, it is just the memory crystal dropped by the remnant soul, and the information and pictures contained are also incomplete.
But even this incomplete memory information shocked Zhou Heng.
"Wan Shankong was originally a human, a fifth-grade master, and was transformed into a ghost using a special ritual?" Zhou Heng was surprised and felt very unbelievable.
He had previously read the memory crystal of the ghost Fengyou and knew what kind of existence the ghost was.
Ghosts are not born from the soul or spirit of someone who dies.
Initially, they were just "yin spirits" born in the natural turbid air.
Based on the law of natural convergence of yin and yang, this kind of yin spirit will naturally desire to absorb yang energy and devour yang energy.
When the Yin spirit completely swallowed the first living person, it acquired its own intelligence and thoughts, and became a real ghost.
But just now in Wan Shankong's memory, during the Tianyang War, it seemed that special rituals could be used to transform people into ghosts.
And then go into war?
This is another way of birth for ghosts apart from "natural birth"!
"The reason why people are transformed into ghosts and thrown into war is probably because of the near-indestructible ability of ghosts. This characteristic of being indestructible is simply like cheating in large-scale wars."
Zhou Heng fell into deep thought.
The information displayed in the memory fragments of Wan Shankong's remnant soul made him a little unbelievable.
If all of this is true, what does it mean?
This means that during the Tianyang War, almost everyone knew about the existence of ghosts, and it was not like now that the truth was being covered up.
Xuanyang seemed to have said before that he also experienced the Battle of Tianyang and was sealed later... The previous Wan Shankong was just a remnant soul, maybe the body was still sealed?
Could it be that during the Tianyang War, humans really relied on the power of ghosts to conquer each other, and after the war, they sealed the ghosts again?
Of course, Zhou Heng would not feel sorry for the ghost, let alone sympathize with it.
No matter what circumstances the ghosts had gone through in the past, the ghosts he encountered now were all killing human lives as if they were trivial.
There is one thing that should be killed and destroyed.
Not worthy of sympathy at all.
But Zhou Heng was confused.
If the situation during the Tianyang War was really what Wan Shankong remembered.
Then why did it become this situation?
Is it a simple Asuka Jinliang Gongzang?
After the war, the ghosts lost their role in war and were sealed away?
This is indeed possible.
But the reason is too simple.
Why is it that no matter the people, the government, or large sects, they keep this secret?
Just for face?
Or was there some unknown serious incident that happened at that time, which drastically changed the world's attitude towards ghosts, leading to the current situation?
This is also possible.
In this series of changes, what role did Zhou Tian Xunjie Division play?
Nowadays, Zhou Tianxunjie Division is responsible for suppressing demons and killing ghosts to maintain the stability of the world. Zhou Heng would not believe it if it had nothing to do with the sealing of ghosts after the Tianyang War.
Even the establishment of the Zhoutian Patrol Department may be related to the sealing of a large number of ghosts.
The basis for the establishment of the Zhoutian Patrol Department is the Zhoutian Star Map, the star map of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, a starry sky scene that does not exist in this world, and is very likely related to the earth.
"In this case, does it mean that as long as we investigate what happened in the Tianyang War, why the ghosts were sealed, and why the Zhoutian Patrol Department was established, we may get clues about the earth?"
When Zhou Heng thought of this, his spirits were lifted up.
From the day he realized that he was traveling through time, he wanted to figure out what was going on.
Why did he travel through time, why did he come to this world, and is there a chance to return to Earth?
The original intention of practicing martial arts was also partly due to these.
It's just that he has never had any clues until he joined the Zhoutian Patrol Department and saw the star map of the Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions, he was able to truly confirm that this world is indeed related to the earth.
But that's all. He doesn't know how to investigate next, so he can only pin his hopes on uncertain wishes.
Today, it seems that a clearer investigation route has finally been found?
Well, there may be clues from Chunyang Palace.
After all, if Wan Shankong's previous words are true, Chen Dongxuan once suppressed it, which means that Chunyang Palace should have participated in the sealing of the ghost after the Tianyang War.
This made Zhou Heng very excited, and he felt that "there seemed to be no way out after the mountains and rivers, but there was another village after the dark willows and flowers."
"Next, continue to use the platform of Zhoutian Xunjie Division to investigate ghost-related matters, and pay more attention to Chunyang Palace."
Zhou Heng made a plan for himself, then got up from the bed, opened the window and looked in the direction of Changxing Sect, "However, next, I still have to deal with the affairs of Changxing Sect first.
"Take this opportunity to hone and integrate my own martial arts, and see if I can create a unique martial arts of my own, and use it as a foundation to build a small world of inner scenery, and step into the realm of the seventh-grade rebirth. ”
Then, he began to study the martial arts he had obtained from the lucky bag.
…
"You are comprehending the martial arts "Small Wuxiang Gong" [Seventh Grade]. With the bonus of similar martial arts of the same level and higher, the difficulty of comprehension is reduced, and the proficiency is +0.5."
…
"Your martial arts "Small Wuxiang Gong" [Seventh Grade] proficiency has reached 1. You have officially learned this martial arts. With the bonus of similar martial arts of the same level and higher, the proficiency is +3000."
…
"You are comprehending the martial arts "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" [Seventh Grade], proficiency +0.2."
…
"You continue to comprehend the martial arts "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi" [Seventh Grade], triggering the 'Heaven Rewards Hard Work' reward, proficiency +20. ”
…
Finally, one night passed.
[Seventh Rank] Xiao Wuxiang Gong: Advanced (3000/3000)
[Seventh Rank] Dou Zhuan Xing Yi: Primary (125/1000)
Zhou Heng did not study the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Firstly, he did not have enough time. Secondly, compared with the two martial arts of Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was too unique and not suitable for use in front of the public.
He planned to use the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms as a martial art for the identity of Ziwei Emperor, not to perform it in Zhou Heng's identity. Development.
Xiao Wuxiang Gong and Dou Zhuan Xing Yi will be very helpful for him to deal with Changxing Sect next.
The former can imitate and perform other martial arts, and the latter can fight with the opponent's force and give him a taste of his own medicine.
The greatest humiliation between martial artists is to defeat you with your best martial arts.
Revenge must be ruthless.
Zhou Heng has no intention of showing mercy to Changxing Sect.
As for whether Changxing Sect will put a hat on him for stealing martial arts and send out a master of the third rank to kill him, Zhou Heng is not sure. Hengze was not worried at all.
The cards in his hand were not vegetarian.
Besides, if he wanted to accuse someone, he also had a hat from Changxing Sect in his hand.
The fact that Chen Song, a disciple of Changxing Sect, colluded with the evil Plague Emperor Sect monster and attacked the disciple of the head teacher of Chunyang Palace... Zhou Heng had not yet asked Changxing Sect for justice.
...
Before going to Changxing Sect, Zhou Heng first went to a mountain forest more than a hundred miles away from the post station.
There was a portal to the Purple Palace there.
Crossing the road paved with the glory of billions of stars, listening to the praise of the Purple Palace Treasure Edict, Zhou Heng passed through a purple air and came to the endless mountains.
Then he was dumbfounded.
Now Zhou Heng was on a suspended platform formed by a group of purple air.
This place was separated from the Purple Palace by the same void of thousands of miles and a vast galaxy.
Last time, the Five Emperors' Inner Seat took him there, but this time Zhou Heng had no way.
There was no way to go from here to the opposite side.
"Hehe, do you want to go over? "
Just then, a shrill voice came, and a short, hunched, masked man appeared on the purple platform without knowing when.
The mask's facial makeup was very simple, just a vertical bar.
This is the constellation of "Gang", one of the star officials of Ziweiyuan, and the handle of the constellation of "Huagai".
Zhou Heng looked at this person and felt that his aura was deep and vast, unfathomable, so he bowed and said: "Senior, do you have a way?"
"Of course, this is what we earn." Gang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I'll take you there, you just need to give me thirty good deeds. "
"Good deeds can also be traded?" Zhou Heng was surprised, but he did not speak, because he felt another powerful breath rushing over.
"Gang, you are fooling the newcomer again!" The voice was heard before the person arrived. The person who came was a woman, and her voice sounded quite mature.
In a blink of an eye, the woman had landed on the purple air platform.
Her figure was graceful, tall, curvy, and pleasing to the eye.
She also wore a mask with a canopy painted on it.
Needless to say.
This is the "Huagai", one of the star officials of Ziweiyuan.
"Gang has always been like this, don't blame me." Huagai looked at Zhou Heng and was about to greet him, but suddenly froze, staring at Zhou Heng's mask, "You, you are the newly born 'Ziwei' a few days ago?"
"What, Ziwei?!" Gang was also surprised when he heard it, and quickly raised his head to look at Zhou Heng, his eyes staring at the image of the emperor painted on the mask, "I, I will take you there now, don't worry, don't do good deeds."
"I'll go with you!" Huagai said hurriedly.
Afterwards, under the extremely enthusiastic escort of these two people, Zhou Heng came to Ziwei Palace and saw the two Taoist children, Taizun and Tianli.
But before Zhou Heng could speak, the two people took the initiative to salute and welcome Zhou Heng into Ziwei Palace.
What's going on?
Zhou Heng was confused.
The attitude of the Zhoutian patrol department was too weird.
Fortunately, he chose the universal star road, and he met the Five Emperors' Inner Seat as soon as he entered Ziwei Palace.
But when he was about to ask, he saw the Five Emperors' Inner Seat also saluted him respectfully like the previous few people, and then walked over with a smile.
"Senior, what's going on?" Zhou Heng asked in confusion.
