Chapter 200: Action in the Narrow Space

Qiu Feng was shocked: "Are you crazy? Do you really think that the narrow space where you can't come back is a joke?"

"Just to stay conscious in the narrow space, unless it is a special situation, the main body must have practiced for at least a thousand years, not to mention finding a living person to replace him from the narrow space. How much power would be lost? Do ghosts who have been dead for only a hundred years have this ability?"

Zhong Kui closed his eyes and said, "Now I have to explain how I got all these injuries."

Ji Chu: "That's what I wanted to ask as well."

Zhong Kui: "Among these dead ghosts in the foot basin, there is one named Abe Kangping, who is a very powerful Yin-Yang master. I heard that his ancestor is Abe Haruaki, but I don't know if it's true."

"This man has some skills. Before going to the battlefield, in order to prevent his soul from not being able to return to his hometown after death, he sealed his soul in the temple."

"You remember how busy we were during that war."

"This Abe Yasuhei relied on his magic to protect him and acted recklessly on the battlefield. In the end, he was careless and was dragged to death by a female hero with a grenade tied to her body."

"After Abe Kohei died, many ghost messengers were trying to catch him. He was desperate and escaped into a narrow room."

"Because one of his soul and one of his spirits were still in the human world, he only wandered in the narrow space for 50 years before slowly regaining consciousness!"

"After that, he absorbed the power of the dead souls in the narrow space and practiced. Finally, he successfully sent out a dead soul by replacing it!"

Qiu Feng frowned: "How did you know about this?"

Zhong Kui: "The old Taoist priest you met who was replaced, I met his original soul in the narrow room. He was the first person to be replaced. He said that he only hated his shallow Taoist practice and failed to protect his body, but fortunately he was quite talented and was able to maintain his consciousness after entering the narrow room."

"It's a pity that Hazama doesn't have time. He can't continue to practice, so he can only hide from the eyes of those dead souls."

"But his 20 years in the narrow space were not without results. What I just mentioned was what he secretly observed."

Ji Chu leaned against the door and said, "But since Abe Kangping has the ability to escape, why didn't he come out by himself, but let the ghost who sent him off come out first?"

Zhong Kui shook the stone in his hand and said, "Because of this!"

"If he leaves the narrow space, his cultivation will be greatly reduced. I don't know how long he will have to practice before he can enter the narrow space again."

“Have you ever heard of the Peace Tower?”

Ji Chu and Qiu Feng shook their heads at the same time.

Zhong Kui explained: "The Peace Tower is also called the Eight-Hound Tower. It was built in 1938 in the center of Miyazaki Prefecture. The tower was built by plundering 238 stones from various Asian countries, 182 of which came from various parts of China, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, Mount Tai, Nanjing, etc."

"In order to grab the stones, they even destroyed part of the building!"

"Jiuben J claimed that the tower was built to commemorate the 2600th anniversary of Emperor Jimmu's accession to the throne, but 'Bahong' comes from the Huainanzi, which originally meant the faraway places in the eight directions, and later meant the world."

"The Huainanzi says that outside the Nine Provinces there are eight lakes, each a thousand miles square. Outside the eight lakes there are eight ropes, also a thousand miles square. These are probably the eight ropes."

"From here, we can actually see the ambition of Jiaoben J. Back then, they tried to invade not only China, but also the entire Asia!"

"After they were defeated, things related to imperialism were banned from official documents, so the Hakkon Ichiu Pagoda was required to be demolished, but they erased the words on it and renamed it the Peace Pagoda."

“Although the name has changed, the stone underneath is still the same stone as before.”

Qiu Feng sneered: "Bahong is such a good word, but it was ruined by these idiots. Besides, what's the point of bringing so many stones over? Is it to steal the country's destiny? If it was really useful, they wouldn't have lost that battle!"

Zhong Kui: "It was actually useful, but the Yin-Yang masters who knew that kind of evil magic were all killed by the two big mushrooms. Later, when China was established, many Taoists returned to the mountains and jointly set up a magic circle, using invisible power to protect the country's destiny!"

Ji Chu looked at the stone in Zhong Kui's hand and roughly understood why they were collecting stones.

"Abe Yasuhei wants to recreate the Hakko Ichiu Tower and steal the country's destiny again?"

Zhong Kui shook his head: "No, the national destiny has been locked and cannot be stolen. What they are stealing now is the power of dragon veins from all over China. This will help him improve his cultivation so that he can successfully send out all the dead souls of the foot basin J in the form of replacement."

Qiu Feng spat in a low voice: "These beasts who harm people, they still can't stop even after they die!"

Ji Chu: "Should we report to the higher-ups and go in and destroy the tower directly?"

Zhong Kui stopped him: “Don’t!”

"The ultimate goal of these dead souls is still the living. As you know, the way of heaven has never valued human life. To it, a good person dies because of a bad person. This is the cycle of cause and effect."

"In this world's cycle, only the underworld is responsible for death, so it can empathize with those innocent people the most. However, the underworld must also follow the laws of heaven. Even if Boss Yan continues to report this matter, the final result will probably be the words 'no intervention'!"

Before Ji Chu, he seldom went out on field trips and basically worked as a civil servant in the underworld. When he really got out there, he discovered there were so many restrictive rules.

"How about I just go to the Hazama and kill Abe Kohei?"

Zhong Kui was frustrated: "How do you think I got these injuries?"

"There are over a million dead people in the Hazama Foot Basin. Although Abe Kohei hasn't had time to restore consciousness for most of them, the ones who have regained consciousness are enough to give us a hard time."

Ji Chu felt that he was about to become angry: "This won't work, that won't work, what should we do?"

Zhong Kui raised his head and touched his half-shaved beard: "Are ghosts talking about evil spirits besides their virtues?"

"Whoever has a stronger evil spirit is the most powerful!"

"In that war, not only the foot basin J died, but also tens of millions of heroes of our country!"

Ji Chu understood: "Do you want to send the souls of those heroes back then into the narrow room and let them seek revenge?"

Zhong Kui nodded: "Yes, they must be willing to chop off the enemy's head again!"

Qiu Feng was helpless: "It is not good for us to appear in the human world. If we can appear and shout slogans, I am afraid that the people who sign up will flatten the narrow space."

Ji Chu smiled and said, "Yes, Lao Zhong, you said that we should send those heroes to the narrow space. How should we send them? How can we guarantee their consciousness after sending them in?"

Zhong Kui: "Why don't we build a tower too? We can use the dragon veins of China to nourish the heroes. Isn't that better than what they stole?"
