Wu Chang Jie

Xie Bi An took two packs of white tea and a jar of Xiaoyaoniang* and brought Fan Wu She to the Red Palace.

This white tea was previously bought by Xie Bi An in Fengdu City. He intended to give it to Cui Jue, but when Zhong Kui gave the soul-hooking chain to Fan Wu She, and he thought that two bags of tea would not be enough to tide it over if Cui Jue knew about this, so he planned not to go to the Judge's mansion for the time being.

Along the way, they met a lot of Yin servants, and they were respectful when they saw the two of them. The soul weapon was an alternative magical treasure because it was attached to the divine thoughts of the Great Emperor Beiyin, and it had an intimidating effect on ghosts.

"Senior brother." Fan Wu She suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to places outside the Underworld?"

"What do you mean? Hell?"

Hearing the word "hell", Fan Wu She's pupils instantly tightened: "You've been to hell?"

"I've been there, but I never want to go there again." Xie Bi An took the opportunity to educate him, "I want you to keep a low profile in the human realm and create less karma. It's for your own good. Sometimes people may not have the intention to do evil, but even if they make a big mistake unintentionally, they will be burdened by karma after death, and they will go to hell to suffer the punishments."

Fan Wu She did not speak.

"Why, are you curious? Do you want to go to hell and take a look?"

"No."

He had suffered a hundred years of extreme punishment in the Infernal Hell. Who else could be more familiar with hell than him? He did not want to return to hell, but he could bring hell back to earth.

"Well, it's better to not go there. That place is scary."

"I was just referring to Jiuyou."

"Oh, of course I've been there. I've toured Jiuyou with my master many times."

"What kind of place is Jiuyou?"

"There are a lot of speculations about Jiuyou. In fact, Jiuyou is the place where ghosts live. There are three kinds of ghosts in Jiuyou. The majority are the ghosts born in the Hungry Ghost Path, such as Jiang Qu Lian, who are ghost citizens that have lived for a long time in Jiuyou. There are also fierce ghosts that reincarnate from the Hell Path. Those reincarnated from the Hell Path committed great evil deeds in life. After the completion of their sentence in the underworld's hell, they have to re-enter the Hell Path. They have no human form, no intelligence, no memory, just suffering. They cannot ever transcend. These evil ghosts are mostly hidden underwater, in dense forests, and in mountains. Finally, there are ghosts who do not want to be reincarnated for various reasons. They each live in their own area because hungry ghosts and evil ghosts can eat other ghosts." Xie Bi An said, "The five ghost emperors are responsible for guarding Jiuyou's barrier so that humans and ghosts do not invade and harass each other. But they don't care about the fights between ghost citizens, so Jiuyou is lawless and very dangerous."

"I'm a little curious about Jiuyou." Fan Wu She said.

"The next time Master patrols Jiuyou, you can come with us, but we can't go to Jiuyou without permission."

"Why?"

Xie Bi An laughed, "Didn't senior brother just say that Jiuyou is very dangerous?"

"With the soul weapon, wouldn't ghosts dare not come to attack us easily?"

"There is naturally no need to fear one or two ghosts, but if there are more, we'll be outnumbered."

"Really? No wonder the majority of those who secretly went to Jiuyou have not returned."
