The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law
Chapter 1122: The Land of Unjust Death
The City of the Dead is not a city, but a dark crack in space.
The crack is suspended in the air. It is about wide enough for two cars to pass through and about the height of two people. It looks like a city gate. The name of the City of the Dead probably originated from this.
On the ground outside the crack, there is a stone tablet with a shocking word "injustice" engraved on it.
"This is the City of the Dead." Li Muchen said.
"It doesn't look scary, right? The red spider lily is trying to scare us." Xiang Wanqing said

As they walked along, they saw corpses lying all over the west field, evil spirits piled up in the mountains, and all they saw was hell. But here, the west field was quiet and serene, with only one door hanging alone, and it did not look that scary at all.
"Don't be fooled by appearances." Li Muchen gently stroked the word "injustice" on the stone tablet with his palm. "Look at this word, it's not ancient seal script, but modern characters. The handwriting is still fresh. It should have been carved by Second Senior Brother."
"Was it carved by Second Senior Brother?" Xiang Wanqing suddenly became curious and stepped forward to observe carefully. "Why did Second Senior Brother carve such a word?"
Li Muchen stepped aside to allow Xiang Wanqing to reach out and touch it.
As soon as Xiang Wanqing's hand touched the stone, she pulled back as if she had been electrocuted.
She was pale and her heart was beating fast. It took her a long time to recover. She said, "How could there be such a strong evil spirit? Second Senior Brother's sword intention should not be like this!"
Li Muchen said: "Second Brother must have sensed the endless resentment that was overflowing from the crack, so he carved the word 'injustice' on the stone. Therefore, you can sense the strong evil spirit from his remaining sword intent."
Xiang Wanqing looked at the dark space crack and said hesitantly: "Should we go in?"
"Now that we're here, of course we have to go in. There's no turning back." Li Muchen said.
Xiang Wanqing nodded, her eyes became firm, but when she looked at Li Muchen, she felt a little guilty and uneasy. She chose this path, and Li Muchen followed her because he was worried about her. Although she knew it was just a clone, she didn't feel the difference between the clone and the real body at all along the way. She only knew that the caring little junior brother was always by her side.
The two of them walked over the large stone with the inscriptions on it and entered the dark crack.
Once you step inside, the whole world changes.
There was darkness before my eyes. I couldn't describe this darkness, it was like entering a thick pool of ink.
Although the Yellow Springs Road outside is also dark, it is just dim and not as dark as the one in front of us.
If it were all this dark, it would be fine. I would just think of myself as a blind person spending the night. I can't see anything anyway.
But in such darkness, there are tiny points of light, like fireflies, filling the entire space.
At first glance, it looks like city lights, dense in some places and sparse in others. But the city lights can illuminate the city, with tall buildings and crisscrossing roads. However, the light here can't illuminate anything, just like the starry sky at night, which can only be created by human imagination.
"What are these?" Xiang Wanqing asked.
"An innocent soul." Li Muchen said.
Xiang Wanqing couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little creepy. She couldn't help but wonder if the beautiful starry sky was also a gathering place for wronged souls?
"Why are there so many wronged souls?"
"Throughout history, how many people can die without regrets?" Li Muchen sighed.
"Ah?" Xiang Wanqing was shocked. "I can't die without regrets, even if I died unjustly? I'll end up here? Doesn't that mean most people in the world died unjustly?"
"Of course not." Li Muchen said, "You can't die without regrets. You have resentment before you die. Although it's not an unjust death, there is still resentment and evil spirit. Although the soul is scattered, the resentment is hard to eliminate. Evil spirits gather easily, so they gather here, forming a unique place. You see those particularly bright spots of light, they are the residual souls of people who died unjustly; and those dim spots of light are just some spirits carrying resentment."
Xiang Wanqing nodded: "But this number is still beyond imagination. Throughout history, there haven't been this many people added together, right?"
Li Muchen said: "Humans are not the only creatures that have spirits."
Xiang Wanqing's heart was shocked, and she suddenly had a better understanding of the great truth that Li Muchen talked about.
"All things have spirits, and all beings are equal. Even the resentment after death is the same. But why do we have to distinguish between high and low in life, and fight to the death?"
"There is a saying in the world that goes 'Survival of the fittest.'" Li Muchen paused here.
Xiang Wanqing repeated it silently: "I know this is the core idea of Darwinism. Although I am in Tiandu, I occasionally read some books about human life. Modern people regard this as a criterion to cover up their low morals and even develop social Darwinism."
Li Muchen nodded and said, "Actually, Darwin was right. He summed up the laws of nature, which are the laws of heaven. The problem lies here. Who sets the rules? The great way has no rules, but heaven has rules. The so-called 'survival of the fittest' means that heaven sets the rules, allowing the world to operate according to its will and allowing all life to survive under its rules."
"Those who survived the test had to be grateful, while those who failed could only consider themselves unlucky, and even blame themselves for being incompetent and not strong enough. Thus, races and classes began to form, and humans and monsters, officials and civilians, and the rich and the poor were separated. When people began to get used to the rule of nature, the lowly would always be lowly, and the humble would always be humble. If you ask why, they would say 'survival of the fittest', and the weak should just die."
Xiang Wanqing said: "But there are also monsters who rise up in resistance, poor people who work hard to become stronger, and mortals who work hard to embark on the path to immortality!"
Li Muchen sneered, "This is the deceptive nature of the way of heaven. It always gives all living beings a false impression that they can become better through hard work. Monsters can transform, the poor can become rich, the common people can become officials, and ordinary people can become immortals... But once their efforts fail, they become resentful. Monsters eat people, the poor hate the rich, and the people hate the officials... Yet few people stand up to challenge the rules of this world."
"You are the only one who dares to stand up and challenge the rules?!" Xiang Wanqing looked at Li Muchen with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"I am, but I may not be the only one." Li Muchen said.
"Who else?" Xiang Wanqing asked curiously.
"I don't know, maybe..."
Li Muchen raised his head and looked into the distance. In the darkness thicker than ink, he seemed to see the infinite abyss below and the heavenly road leading to the clouds above.
He didn't continue talking, but sighed and said, "Let's go."
"Where are we going?" Xiang Wanqing frowned as she looked at the groups of vengeful spirits that were as bright as stars.
"Second Senior Brother has already paved the way for us, otherwise we would have been drowned by the grievances if we were standing here." Li Muchen said, "Look ahead, the place where the evil spirit is diluted is where the sword energy of Second Senior Brother is heading. I have a feeling that Second Senior Brother is still in the City of Wrongful Death, and we will be able to see him soon."
