Chapter 82 The truth behind the coming terror!
Xie Bian suddenly stopped, turned around to look at Zhang Yuan, and then grinned.
"It seems that you have guessed a lot of things."
After saying that, he continued to walk forward, and Zhang Yuan continued to follow behind.
"You're right. The person who closed that door had to be a human."
"Why?" Zhang Yuan hurriedly followed.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't the people from the underworld be the ones to close the door of the Underworld Prison? Why is it one person?"
"Is this person any different to this underworld?"
Xie Bian shook his head.
At this time, Zhang Yuan and his companions had already crossed the Naihe Bridge and continued to walk towards Evil Dog Ridge.
At this time, Zhang Yuan discovered that the mountain in front of him had collapsed.
But the way it collapsed was indeed very strange.
The stones did not fall down, but floated in the air as if they had lost gravity.
The ground was full of holes, and occasionally one or two bones could be seen among the grass.
Obviously, there had been a big battle here before.
Xie Bian led Zhang Yuan across the battlefield before he continued speaking.
"The underworld is a taboo place for humans. Ordinary people can't enter it at all."
"And the reason why we have to let a person close this door is because ghosts, or people from the underworld, can't touch it at all."
"Can't touch it?"
Zhang Yuan suddenly felt as if he had lived in vain for the past twenty years.
Looking at Zhang Yuan's puzzled expression, Xie Bian smiled.
Zhang Yuan continued to move forward. The further he went, the more he discovered that the damage around him was becoming more and more serious.
He even saw that the middle of a mountain in front of him was empty.
It's as if it was dug out by someone.
Xie Bian noticed Zhang Yuan's surprised look and explained, "That was left by the devil."
"But it was just one punch from him."
When Zhang Yuan saw this scene, he couldn't help but gasp.
With just one punch, a towering mountain was blasted into the ground.
If he were to go to the human world, who in the entire world would be his opponent?
Continuing to move forward, Zhang Yuan saw another ruined city.
Not far from the city, Zhang Yuan also saw a plaque that was broken into two pieces.
You can vaguely see the word "Feng" written on it.
The city wall had long been destroyed and its original appearance could no longer be seen.
The city was also in ruins.
Follow Xie Bian through the ruins and continue walking inside.
Zhang Yuan suddenly had a feeling that he was dead and was being led by a ghost to be reincarnated.
"This is Fengdu."
Xie Bian suddenly spoke.
Zhang Yuan followed behind, looking around constantly.
It can be vaguely seen that this city was relatively prosperous before it was destroyed.
At this time Zhang Yuan saw some shops.
Suddenly I thought that if I died suddenly, I would be considered a rich man here.
"You should have a lot of ghost money now, right?"
At this time, Xie Pingan suddenly turned around, looked at Zhang Yuan and asked.
Zhang Yuan did not hide it and nodded.
"Yes, there are many."
"Then do you know why ghost money can buy off those terrifying creatures?" Xie Bian threw another question to Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan frowned slightly when he heard this. He had never thought about this question before.
According to Xie Bian, these horrific creatures all came from the underworld.
Could it be that those horrible creatures inside who are being oppressed still want money?
Seeing that Zhang Yuan couldn't figure it out, Xie Bian smiled. "You should have a lot of terrifying creatures under your command, right?"
"Have you noticed the difference between these terrifying creatures and the ones that descended?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuan began to think seriously.
He shook his head again.
"do not understand."
"Is there any difference between a horror creature and a horror creature?"
"There are good people and bad people." Xie Bian smiled.
Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and opened a passage in front of him. Zhang Yuan followed him in, as if he had come to another world.
This is an attic.
Before Zhang Yuan could ask, Xie Bian explained: "This is the Offering Pavilion."
"After a person dies, he or she can meet his or her family members in the living world here and burn offerings for them."
"Including some ghost money and the like."
At this time, Zhang Yuan discovered that the offering pavilion was also in disrepair.
"It's just that after the terrifying creatures arrived, they destroyed this place immediately."
“Because this is also the place where merit is converted.”
"Merit?" Zhang Yuan seemed to understand something?
Xie Bian continued to move forward.
At this time, Zhang Yuan discovered that the atmosphere around him became extremely depressing, with destroyed places everywhere.
Even the sky seemed to be cracked by someone, and from time to time a strange black fog would spread out from the broken places.
But when it is about to touch the offering pavilion, it will quickly disappear.
"In fact, the ghost money you are using now is converted from merits."
"That's why you will get ghost money after killing the terrifying creatures."
"Because those terrifying creatures are extremely evil, if you kill them, you will be considered to have accumulated good deeds, so you will have merits."
"The embodiment of merit becomes ghost money."
"I see." Zhang Yuan nodded.
Therefore, the paper money that people all over the country burned for him before was equivalent to accumulating merit for him.
Xie Bian continued to speak.
"And those horrible creatures you summoned are equivalent to you being a good person in the world."
"But no matter how good a person is, you still have to pay them for the work they do."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"What about the Underworld store?"
"How did they get here?"
Xie Bian explained: "The Underworld Store is actually equivalent to the Underworld, opened up to another space, specifically used to connect to the human world."
"And the salespeople inside are actually just some of the maids who followed the Ten Directions Ghost Emperor back then."
"The horrible creatures escaped and wreaked havoc in the underworld."
"Many places in the underworld have lost their original functions, so the Ten Directions Ghost Emperors worked together to build the underworld store, which is the clock tower."
"Put some secret techniques that can be learned by humans, as well as medicines, weapons, etc. in there."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
Only then did I understand.
No wonder it took so long for the Underworld Shop to appear.
It turned out that the Ten Directions Ghost Emperor was dealing with folk affairs and had no time to take care of the human world.
But it is impossible to give these things away for free, after all, some people simply do not have these talents.
So just sell it and collect some merit at the same time.
Kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly heard Xie Bian's voice again.
"Okay, we're here."
"This is the entrance to the Underworld."
Zhang Yuan looked up and saw a space connecting heaven and earth in front of him.
This kind of ghostly and wolves howling, shrill sound came from inside, accompanied by gusts of cold wind.
