After the ghost gate was closed, the three ghost kings knelt in a row. The Jiuyin ghost king and Zuowang Taoist stood on the left and right.
These three ghost kings still cherish their lives after all, and there is no such thing as "I would rather be in pieces than in ruins."
After kneeling here, the three ghost kings finally told their names obediently.
The three ghost kings each have their own names. One calls himself Black Cloud Immortal, one calls himself Qingfeng Immortal, and the third calls himself Red Dust Immortal.
Combining their "appearance special effects", we can see that the Black Cloud Fairy is of course the dark clouds in the sky, the Qingfeng Fairy is the fishy wind, and the Red Dust Fairy is naturally the dust storm.
To be honest, regardless of their poor abilities, the names they gave themselves are still somewhat thoughtful.
Of course, the "immortal" in the name is purely to put gold on one's face.
The abilities of the three of them are only at the Dharma level, which is far behind those of Earth Immortals.
After restraining their ghost energy, the three ghost kings finally showed their true colors, and they really looked like three sour scholars.
This reminded Ye Zan of the Three Friends of Suihan.
However, out of Suihan's three friends, only two were actually left. The eldest Qingsong was exterminated and turned into a puppet.
Speaking of these three ghost kings, since they can come to the gate of hell together, and their names are somewhat similar, it can be seen that they must be very familiar with each other.
"You three came to me, did you do it of your own free will or were you ordered to do so?" Little King of Hell floated up on top of the city, looked at the three ghost kings below, and shouted loudly with great force.
Looking at the little King of Hell floating in mid-air on the top of the city, with a bun on his head, a red bellyband on his upper body, and emerald green trousers on his lower body, the three ghost kings did not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Back to Yan Jun, my three brothers..." Wu Yunxian replied as a representative. He paused for a moment, but immediately realized that now was not the time to care about the words, and quickly continued: "I have won the Qingtian Ghost King. He sent a message and learned about the reconstruction of the underworld, so he thought that he could imitate the ancient... imitate the legendary predecessors and get the canonization of the underworld... "
The Jiuyin Ghost King was listening to a burst of coke and couldn't help but taunted: "Qingtian Ghost King? You two are not very capable, but your tone is not small. You are claiming to be an 'immortal', and you are claiming to be an 'immortal'." "Qingtian' is the name, do you want to compete with Xianting?"
"Don't dare, I don't have the guts! I just admire in my heart, yes, yes, yes, I admire, admire the grace of the ancient immortals, so I call myself an immortal without overestimating my ability. If you don't like it, call me a little dark cloud They are just ghosts, this is the Qingfeng ghost, this is the mortal ghost..." Wu Yunxian quickly explained to the Jiuyin Ghost King in a flattering manner.
The little King of Hell looked like a little grown-up, with a slight frown on his brows, showing a bit of majesty, and asked in a deep voice under pressure: "Don't worry about him, what is the origin of the Qingtian Ghost King? Apart from conveying this message to you, But is there anything else?"
"Ah, Lord Yama, forgive me!" Seeing that the little Lord of Hell seemed a little dissatisfied, Wu Yunxian quickly kowtowed and apologized, and replied: "Back to Lord Yama, that Qingtian Ghost King is the overlord of our Lost Soul Mountain..."
Although the three ghost kings Wu Yunxian and others are relatively strong, they are only at the Dharma level after all.
Above them, there will be a stronger Ghost King, which is no surprise.
Of course, the gap between Dharma and Tongtian can be said to be large or small. There is no standard.
For example, ordinary Tongtian Supreme would not dare to look down upon the Dharma Realm like Da Meng Daojun.
Similarly, in the Tongtian Realm, there are also beings that are as weak as those in the Dharma Phase Realm.
The three ghost kings said before that Qingtian Ghost King sent them a message instead of directly ordering them what to do.
It can be seen that although Qingtian Ghost King is the "overlord" of Lost Soul Mountain, his strength is not strong enough to subdue the three ghosts.
Perhaps, judging by the strength of the three ghosts, Qingtian Ghost King is probably about the same as Jiuyin Ghost King.
The Nine Yin Ghost King had just fought against the three ghosts, but he only had the upper hand.
The main reason why the three ghosts surrendered was because Taoist Zaiwang had passed by. It was already very difficult to figure out that three against one would be difficult, and three against two would definitely lead to their demise.
If the three ghosts and the Jiuyin Ghost King were to continue fighting, the Jiuyin Ghost King might still win in the end, but it would definitely not be an easy win.
Let’s talk about the Qingtian Ghost King.
In the Netherworld, Qingtian Ghost King is definitely not the only "overlord".
And these "overlords" obviously cannot all live together, each must have its own territory.
Therefore, the so-called domination of Lost Soul Mountain obviously refers to the sphere of influence or territory, which is an area like Lost Soul Mountain.
Of course, given the vastness of the Netherworld, the Lost Soul Mountain is probably not that small, and it certainly won't be a small bumpkin that can be flattened by just two feet.
After further questioning the three ghosts, the people on Little Hell's side found out more about Lost Soul Mountain and Qingtian Ghost King.
The Lost Soul Mountain can be regarded as the first big mountain outside the Ghost Gate, or to be more precise, it is a mountain range.
In short, in the past three or four months, at least nearly half of the ghost kings killed outside Guimen Pass came from Lost Soul Mountain.
Some ghost kings were sent by Qingtian Ghost King.
There are also some ghost kings who were forced by Qingtian Ghost King.
There are also those like the three ghosts who were deceived by Qingtian Ghost King.
From this level of progression, it can be seen that the so-called overlord of Lost Soul Mountain does not actually have absolute control over Lost Soul Mountain.
Or, rather than being the overlord of Lost Soul Mountain, Qingtian Ghost King is more like an alliance leader elected by the ghosts.
The Lost Soul Mountain has a radius of 100,000 miles, with mountains, forests, rivers, and enough hills for thousands of ghost kings to occupy.
Don't think that thousands of ghost kings seem like a lot.
I think back then, in the era of the Nine Yin Ghost Kings, only those who reached the level of true immortals were eligible to be canonized as ghost kings by the underworld.
But now, the meaning of "Ghost King" is actually almost the same as "Demon King".
In other words, it has become a level classification of ghost cultivators.
The demon king refers to the great demon at the level of the soul.
So the ghost king actually refers to the ghost cultivator at the level of the soul.
Therefore, thousands of ghost kings are just thousands of old ghosts at the soul level.
Of course, in addition to those at the Yuan Shen level, there are also those at the Dharma level like the Three Ghosts, but they are definitely not the majority in number.
Otherwise, there would be thousands of Dharma-level ghost kings in any mountain, and hundreds of ghosts would probably be roaming the world at night.
Not to mention anything else, if Netherworld really had that kind of power, Immortal Court would let these ghost kings harm the outer world no matter what.
"What do you think the Qingtian Ghost King's plan is? It's probably just to use my power from the underworld to eliminate dissidents." The Little King of Hell asked the three ghosts seriously with a serious face.
Regarding this issue, since Wu Yunxian and the other three ghosts were deceived, it is obviously impossible to know the true plan of Qingtian Ghost King.
However, this question was asked by the Little King of Hell, and Wu Yunxian felt that he always wanted to say something. After all, the lives of the three brothers were still in the hands of others.
After thinking about it, Wu Yunxian's frown slowly relaxed, he looked up at the little King of Hell who seemed a little impatient, and quickly said with an apologetic smile: "My Lord, forgive me, after all, I am not the confidant of the Qingtian Ghost King, so I am not a confidant of the Qingtian Ghost King. We can only guess a little bit about his plans.”
Having said this, he couldn't help but pause slightly, and secretly observed the expression of the little King of Hell with a guilty conscience.
Seeing that the little King of Hell didn't seem to have any unpleasant expression, he then continued: "According to my guess, the Ghost King Qingtian had two intentions for doing this. Firstly, he really took the opportunity to exclude dissidents, such as my three brothers. Like this. Secondly, I am not showing weakness to the underworld, hoping to paralyze the underworld and make the underworld feel underestimated."
"This time the underworld is rebuilt, people like my three brothers are naturally... happy. However, people like Qingtian Ghost King may not be happy. After all, when there is no underworld, they are the ones who are above ten thousand people. . But with the underworld, they can only be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."
"According to my little guess, these days, Qingtian Ghost King and Zhetian Ghost King... yes, they are the Zhetian Ghost King, the overlord of Duanhun Ridge over there. They are the two nearest ghost kings outside the ghost gate. In these days, come Those little devils in Guimen Pass, besides those on the side of Ghost King Qingtian, there must also be many subordinates of Ghost King Zhetian.”
"The two of them have been asking the little ghosts below to die these days. They are probably waiting for the response of the other ghost kings. After all... it will take some time for the other ghost kings to come from their respective territories, especially if they have to With his men..."
In this underworld, how many true overlord-level ghost kings are there outside the gate of hell
With the knowledge of Wu Yunxian and the other three ghosts, it is impossible for one person to tell them all.
Probably, only when you reach the level of Qingtian Ghost King can you understand how many ghost kings are like yourself.
However, no matter how many there are, as Wu Yunxian said, as long as they are already at the top, no one will be willing to wear a gold hoop on their head.
What should I do if I don’t want to wear gold hoops
Of course, when the gold hoop is not on, he will first beat to death the person who wants to wear the gold hoop, and then break the gold hoop and melt it into water.
Therefore, between the underworld and those ghost kings.
There must be a battle!
After Wu Yunxian finished his guessing and making-up, Little Hell did not speak immediately, but turned to look at his master Ye Zan.
Seeing the little King of Hell looking over, Ye Zan asked first: "What are you going to do with the three of them?"
The little King of Hell thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with any good ideas. Finally, he said impatiently: "... I think it's a bit troublesome, otherwise I'd better kill him."
As I said before, not all of the ordinary ghost soldiers can be recruited, but at least some of them have no bad karma.
But these ghost kings, no matter what kind of ghost they are, if they can cultivate all the way to this point, then absolutely none of them can be clean.
Including Wu Yunxian and the other three ghost kings, all of them appeared like scholars, as if they could not do evil things by reading the books of sages.
But in fact, if you are the kind of nerd who keeps talking about "Zi Yue", it will be difficult to survive in such an environment, let alone become such a ghost king.
Therefore, incorporating them into the underworld is definitely a loss-making deal.
As for letting the three ghosts "get what they want" and officially canonizing them as "Ghost Kings", wouldn't it seem like this "Ghost King" is too cheap!
After all, Little Hell is not a "mature" Hell, so he finds it a bit difficult to deal with such problems.
Of course, as the little King of Hell said, "kill him directly" is also a way to deal with it.
However, Ye Zan shook his head and did not agree with this simple and crude approach and said: "The ghost kings outside the ghost gate cannot be completely eliminated, so we need to consider a way to coexist."
Can all the ghost kings outside the gate of hell be eliminated
From a technical perspective, there is actually no problem.
As long as the big mushroom pipes are enough, it is entirely possible to clear away at least the netherworld in the Shenhua Domain.
However, there is no benefit in doing so.
There is a saying in the world of science and technology that "existence is reasonable", which means: as long as something exists, it must have a reason for its existence.
This seems a bit like nonsense if you think about it carefully...
However, here, the existence of those ghost kings also has its own reasons, and it is not all bad for the underworld.
For example, outside the underworld, the order of the underworld is actually maintained by ghost kings.
It's not that the ghost kings want to do good things, but that they also protect themselves.
Also, there are some "passages" between the Nether World and the Yang World.
From time to time, there are some cracks that are formed naturally or caused by humans, temporarily connecting the two worlds.
Without the guidance of the underworld, most ghosts in the Yang world would enter the Netherworld in this way.
That's where those "crazy ghosts" came from.
The ghost kings, for their own benefit, will independently go to various "passages" and "cracks" to collect ghosts who have entered the netherworld.
Compared with those "crazy ghosts", this kind of "fresh" ghosts are quite good cultivation resources for ghost cultivators.
Therefore, from the two aspects of curbing "crazy ghosts" and reducing ghosts in the world, the existence of ghost kings naturally has certain positive significance.
"But, Master, they also said that those ghost kings do not want to see the underworld rebuilt, and are ready to unite to attack the underworld." Little Hell King felt a little confused about Ye Zan's statement.
Children will inevitably see things in a one-sided way, and many times they will be so "pure" that they think everything is black and white.
Adults, on the other hand, will know that between black and white, there is a larger area of gray, and therefore they will be criticized as "not knowing right from wrong."
Who is right and who is wrong? Everyone has their own reasons.
Ye Zan was still very patient. After all, his disciple was the master of the underworld, and trouble would easily occur if he was taught badly, so he explained: "For those like Qingtian Ghost King who are unwilling to coexist with the underworld, they will naturally have to be eliminated. However, in Those below them, like the three ghosts, can be used by the underworld. "
Ye Zan's plan is actually a bit like the so-called "extension of grace order", but it is not so "soft" in comparison.
To put it simply, it is to kill the leader, and then let the subordinates share everything of the boss equally, turning them into little bosses.
Compared to the eldest brother, the little eldest brother is of course much easier to control.
