Chapter 5 Inside Hechuan City

Early that morning after Wu Sheng finished breakfast, Lu Chengxuan took him, who had been staying in the courtyard for some time, to read the manual and leave there.

Lu Chengxuan didn't eat breakfast, but in fact he wouldn't sleep unless he was injured.

The food in this world is not a physical substance, but a special energy. The tea Wu Sheng drank when he first met Lu Chengxuan was not tea. It was transformed from some burning fragrance placed in front of the coffin. Basically, it is a certain energy like food. This energy can strengthen souls with a lower soul strength, which is very beneficial for Wu Sheng.

Sleeping here is something that novices like Wu Sheng, who have weak souls, must do to supplement the energy consumed by some activity thinking, and at the same time, it can slowly increase the intensity of the soul. Of course, these are no longer effective for people of Lu Chengxuan.

Wu Sheng left the courtyard again and instantly returned to the terrifying scene in [Wanshou Inn]. Behind him was the coffin that entered the golden box and silver lock.

Lu Chengxuan noticed Wu Sheng's doubts and explained to him in a low voice: "This world of deceased souls is a very special world of deceased spirits. Most of the people who are active here are dead people, which is naturally very different from the world of creatures we live in."

After saying that, he pointed to the coffins and said, "The courtyard we lived in before was all this kind of coffin, and everything in the courtyard was transformed from it. It is not accurate to say that the transformation is, after all, our current state is considered a ghost, nor is it an ordinary physical object. Those courtyards are really no different from us."

"The courtyard styles and scenery of different coffins are different. Some of the higher grades have many additional functions. The coffin we came out can only add an outdoor adjustment function, so when you came to me, it was noon in the courtyard. After handing the manual to you, I will adjust the outdoor time to the same as the outside world, that is, it is night."

Wu Sheng nodded. It turned out that's it. He thought it was Lu Chengxuan's own ability at the time, but he didn't expect it to be just the effect of a coffin.

Lu Chengxuan then pointed to the largest coffin in the middle of [Wanshou Inn]. This coffin is larger than the others, and there are various glyphs on it, and it is not like other coffins only have red and black colors.

"This is the main body of [Wanshou Inn]. Our coffin is only a low-level product. [Wanshou Inn] is much more powerful. Although the inn transformed into incest, it has many functions such as resisting a certain degree of ghost intrusion."

After listening to it, Wu Sheng felt that he had benefited a lot. In this world that violates normal people's cognition, every bit of information is valuable.

He has read the manual "Brief Introduction to the World" for so many days and understands that not every guide will take care of himself like Lu Chengxuan. Not only will he answer questions and still take care of himself until now, he will share the collected intelligence information with him. This is obviously trying his best to help him.

The task given to the guides by the world is only to give the novice a manual "The World of Domination" to complete. Wu Sheng didn't know why Lu Chengxuan helped him so much, but he had to bear this kindness. As a novice, he also needed this information to take the first step.

So after brief thinking, Wu Sheng said to Lu Chengxuan beside him: "Thank you for your care and tips. If there is anything useful in the future, I will do my best."

He made such a promise to officially accept Lu Chengxuan's friendship, and he would return it if he had the ability in the future.

Lu Chengxuan nodded with a smile. He admired Wu Sheng's temperament very much. He was able to interpret the contents of the manual in a short time, understand the importance of the information he told him, and quickly make a decision and make a promise, which shows that Wu Sheng is not the kind of person who is very ignorant of the world. The only mention of "trying his best" in the promise also shows that he is not arrogant, which is an excellent answer based on the information he has.

In fact, Lu Chengxuan did not pay much for Wu Sheng. Although the information is of great value, he did not lose anything after telling Wu Sheng.

Moreover, the basic information that dominates the world is only valuable to novices. As for the information explored in the early stages of the new world, it is also very important to him. But after all, he is not a person who lives by selling information, so it doesn’t matter if he knows more. The cost of those energy foods is even more slim to him.

These things can be exchanged for a promise from a newcomer with great potential, which is absolutely worth it. When Wu Sheng becomes stronger and makes up for this favor, it will be much more valuable than what he has paid now.

The two walked out of the inn. Before leaving, Lu Chengxuan greeted the old man Wu Sheng had seen. The old man nodded slightly, and then continued to close his eyes and rest.

After leaving [Wanshou Inn], Lu Chengxuan pointed to the shops next to the street that could not see the situation inside and said to Wu Sheng: "Since you call me brother, I will call you Brother Wu without hesitation."

He saw Wu Sheng nodding and then said, "Brother Wu, there are all kinds of strange things in this soul world, but if you look closely, you will find some rules. According to my observations and investigations these days, in addition to various monsters and monsters in Hechuan City, there are mainly two forces."

"The first type is a shop owner like Mr. Yu, the owner of [Wanshou Inn]. No matter what world there is wealth, he must have the ability to protect his own property. Although Mr. Yu seems weak, he dares to control an inn by relying solely on the coffin that transformed into [Wanshou Inn]. With this confidence, he knows that it is not simple."

"Besides, the ability to control and command paper men is not simple. Two days ago, I saw Boss Ma from the next store coming to see him, and I think there is a certain connection between these stores."

After saying this, he paused for a moment, left a little time for Wu Sheng to think, and then continued: "The time style of this world is also very strange. Although all souls are dressed in ancient times, they can still see some differences from their style preferences, indicating that all souls do not come from a single dynasty."

"But no matter what clothes you are wearing, it is best to hide if you see a blood-red "poor" on your left chest."

As soon as Lu Chengxuan said this, two ghosts with the red "bad" on their chests came towards him. He immediately pulled Wu Sheng to stagger them with these two people, and the two guys didn't pay attention to them.

After they walked away, Lu Chengxuan continued: "I asked Mr. Yu from [Wanshou Inn] that such people are members of the underworld, and those with the word "distance" on their chests are ghost maids. Anyone with blood-red words on their left chest belongs to the underworld. It is best not to provoke them on purpose."

Wu Sheng hurriedly agreed, saying that he had already remembered it.

Seeing that Wu Sheng was tactful, Lu Chengxuan smiled and said, "Do you want to join this underworld?"

When Wu Sheng heard this, he immediately became interested: "Brother Lu can help me?"

"The mountain man has his own tricks. I just ask if you want to join the official power of the Dead Soul World to come to the Underworld."

"Of course, but..."

"No need, but as long as you think, I will naturally have a way to help you. Of course, I can't always help you for no reason. Entering the underworld is also a problem for me. So this time..."

When Lu Chengxuan said this, he deliberately paused. Wu Sheng was also very tactful: "Brother Lu has helped me so much, so you can just say anything if you have any requests."

"Well, I want you to promise to help me do something within my ability and not against my will in the future. This time we apply to dominate justice. How about it?"

"No problem!" Wu Sheng hurriedly answered.

Lu Chengxuan's conditions are very relaxed, and this transaction is still half sold and half free. Once completed, it will definitely be of great help to Wu Sheng.

The master has a special supervision agreement function. After the two agreed, they directly applied to sign the agreement. Of course, the signing of the agreement is not free. With Wu Sheng’s current financial resources, these fees can only be paid by Lu Chengxuan.

After doing all this, the two continued their journey. As they walked, they came to the dry well that Lu Chengxuan had seen before. He pulled Wu Sheng around the dry well three feet away. Fortunately, a large open space was deliberately left around the dry well so that they could pass safely.

After bypassing the dry well, Lu Chengxuan explained to Wu Sheng that according to some old ghosts with sane soul-successful spirits, the dry well is actually a city-moist protection for the entire Hechuan City. The city-moist protection and blessing spirit is very powerful and dangerous. It will randomly devour some ghosts to supplement its own consumption.

Now during the non-combat period, it is enough for the city-modding blessing spirit to just devour some wandering souls. If it is at its full power, it will need to devour a large number of wandering souls, even soul-borne old ghosts or higher-level ghosts.

The ghost level is also one of Lu Chengxuan's main gains in the past few days, but he has not received any information. He only knows that the first few stages of ghosts are: the soul traveling stage, the soul life stage, the soul picking stage and the life sacrifice stage.

The Soul-Wandering Period is a period that will be experienced when returning to the underworld after the first seven deaths. This stage of the Lord mentioned in the brief introduction of everyone entering the Dead Soul Realm. The Soul-Wandering Period is very dangerous because it only relies on instinct and part of the subconscious mind, and it is possible that the soul will be scattered at any time.

Generally, according to the cause and effect of sins during the lifetime, the time of the soul travel period is long and short, but it usually takes about decades. Souls entering the soul world must rely solely on instinct and subconscious to survive for decades without accidents before entering the next period. This has led to the deaths of many creatures from ancient times to the present, but the soul world will not be full of ghosts.

The master threw many conscripted people into this world, so naturally he would not let them rely on luck to swim in the soul wandering period for decades, so the starting point for these people to enter the soul-dead realm is the second period - the soul birth period.

The most important feature of the soul life period is to give birth to mind and restore appearance. Only with mind can one be considered a real ghost, and normal appearance is more conducive to communication. The wandering souls in the soul life period will be dispersed by various accidents, swallowed by some city-defying blessing spirits, and consumed and used as some resources. This will not be the case in the soul life period, at least they have some rights to themselves.

The soul life period is the soul picking stage. The main feature of this stage is to gradually restore the memory of life, and to also begin to have some means and have certain combat capabilities.

Next is the period of sacrificing life. The ghosts of the period of sacrificing life need to gradually discard the memories of the life that were restored in the soul-sucking stage to achieve rebirth. Only by discarding all memories of life can one enter the next period, and only after sacrificing life can one achieve true rebirth.

Lu Chengxuan didn't know the strength of the ghost in the sacrificial period. Anyway, a newcomer like Wu Sheng must not provoke him. Lu Chengxuan failed to understand the information about the later stage of the sacrificial period. After all, how they first came, it was already very good to know so much information about it.

Leaving the area where the city of Fuling is located, Lu Chengxuan took Wu Sheng to Dongcheng District. There are obviously many ghosts in the Soul Life period, and you can meet a lot on the street. The final destination of the two was in front of an old building similar to that of ancient government offices.

This building is very similar to the kind of government offices that Wu Sheng had seen in film and television dramas. There is a ghost standing with a knife on the left chest with a "bad" character on the left and right sides of the door under the eaves.
