Chapter 4: The Hall of Hades
Ma Mian barely woke up, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he shook it. It's a man in a cloth, and he is still a little conscious, which means that his soul still has a trace of existence. The best result is that the souls that left are still in the underworld, and the worst result is that their souls are directly swallowed by the undead, unless Yama helps them repair their souls, even these powerful demons are powerless.
The clothed man was carried to the shore by the shark and lay on the shark's arm. As a human being, Mo Feixue, the scene she saw was different from what the demon saw. When she walked up to the DemoliquΓ© out of curiosity, wanting to see the true face of the Demoiselle (probably also to prepare for her death and entering the underworld in the future), but when she looked at the Demoiselle, she actually found that the Demoiselle's face was a skull, and she was so frightened that she retreated again and again. Now, she understood why the undead couldn't look at the face of the clothed man when crossing the river, and probably fell into the river in fright. However, in the eyes of the demons, the clothed man looks like a handsome man.
Just when Mo Feixue was frightened and everyone couldn't help laughing, Yan Che had already come out of the Lechuan River. His arms turned into two huge arms formed by a cloud of black mist, grabbing the two water ghosts. The undead who fall into the Lethe River will become ghosts, and they will never be reincarnated. It is indeed scary to think that the ghosts are used as food for the ghost officials.
As soon as Yan Che jumped ashore, the river immediately calmed down. He squeezed his hands hard and pinched the two water ghosts into two spirit balls. Then, give the spirit ball to Ma Mian and Clothed Weng respectively. After taking the spirit ball, he was already able to open his eyes and speak. However, just as he was about to speak, the horse face lying there suddenly stood up and stormed away.
It seems that Ma Mian is still immersed in the image of the previous battle with the enemy, unable to extricate himself, and after waking up, he wants to continue fighting and stop the defecting undead. He doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, and even treats demons as enemies. An iron chain appeared in Mamien's hand, a weapon he used to control the undead. grabbed the chain and threw it at his life-saving benefactor, Yan Che.
The green wolf took the lead and ran in front of Yan Che, grabbing the chain with both hands. Ma Mian saw that the other party's ability was not small, and he could actually grab his own chain with his bare hands. Then, he wanted to drag the chain back, but the green wolf grabbed it and said to him: "You really don't know what to do, you will take revenge for saving you!"
Ma Mian was delirious, couldn't hear the words of the green wolf, and even thought that the other party was just an undead. His iron chain also has the effect of paralyzing the soul, and he thought that brute force could not get a bargain from this werewolf undead, so he thought about using the effect of the iron chain. Starting from his palm, along the chain, a stream of dark purple qi spread towards the green wolf, and instantly transmitted to the green wolf's body. When the purple covered the green wolf's body, Ma Mian suddenly launched a spell, but saw that the green wolf did not move at all, calmly, and he was stupid there.
The green wolf smiled proudly, and sent an electric current from his palm, which was transmitted back to Ma Mian's hand through the iron chain, and the horse face was trembling for a while. Finally, he threw away the chain in his hand and fell to the ground.
After the horse fell to the ground, the people went to check it again. But Ma Mian is still immersed in fantasy, which is probably the sequelae of him taking the spirit ball. He got up again and said the words that kept the demons from leaving the underworld. Until the shark broke the evil and carried the clothed man over, the clothed man said bitterly to Ma Mian that they did not guard the ghost gate, a large number of ghosts have fled to the yang world, and the people around him are the demons who came to help, but Ma Mian finally accepted the fact, knelt on the ground, wept bitterly, and asked for punishment for the dereliction of duty that he did not fulfill his duties, and asked for punishment for the missing Yama.
The green wolf went over to comfort: "Okay buddy, the people are still there, oh no, the soul is still there." Your brother Bull Head is waiting for you at the Ghost Gate. β
Ma Mian was a little surprised and said, "Is he okay with the old cow?"
"It's better than you anyway. You'd better go back first, and leave the rest to me......" The young wolf looked at Yan Che at this time and continued, "Just do it with the young master." β
The others were speechless and said: "Come on, in the end, it is the credit of you and the young master, we are all virtual people on the side." β
Ma Mian said goodbye to the demons, and after the soul of the clothed man stabilized, he took Yan Che and the others across the river in a boat.
The wooden boat is also unique, it looks like it can only carry three or four people, and it will look crowded if there are more. At that time, when the man in the coat got on the boat first, the wooden boat actually became longer on its own. After stabilizing the boat, he beckoned everyone to board. The demons asked Yan Che to get on the boat first, and Yan Che asked Yan Tiege to go first. In this way, they take turns to get on the boat, and Mo Feixue is the last. She sat at the back of the boat, probably not wanting to see the face of the man again.
The Lechuan River is also very wide, not to mention that there is a mist in the middle of the river, and from time to time there are water ghosts from the bottom of the Lechuan River close to the water, but they can't peek out of the river. The water spirits wandered under the boats, keeping their eyes on the water, hoping that the unfortunate would fall into the water and become one of them. Mo Feixue sat on the wooden boat and saw the terrible grimaces under the river, and she was so frightened that she retracted her head. The man also deliberately identified the only human on the ship, telling her to sit tight and not fall into the water. Once she fell into the water, no one but Yama could save her.
Although the river is vast, the speed of the wooden boat is not ordinary. There was only a little ripple in the calm water, but the speed of the boat was not inferior to that of a galloping horse, and in a moment they were on the other side of the river.
When he got ashore, after Yan Che got off the boat, he suddenly had a doubt. He turned back to the man and said, "I have heard that it is impossible for all the undead to cross the Lethe River without taking your ferry. So, how did so many of the undead cross the river to the other side, and how did a few humans get here?"
The clothed man first answered how the undead crossed the river, that is, a few evil ghosts appeared first and entered the river, and the water ghosts in the Lechuan River could not restrain those evil ghosts. Subsequently, the demon used his aura to make a bridge over the Lethe River, causing countless undead to float over the bridge. As for how the humans came over, the clothed man avoided answering.
Yan Che was a little angry, he came to help, but the clothed man actually had something to deliberately conceal. At this time, the Yan Demon came out and said to Yan Che, "You don't have to blame him, because he took a bribe. β
Yan Che was surprised: "Accepted a bribe?"
"Yes, that's the Clothier's own rules. But if a human wants to cross the river, he can cross the river as long as he bears a certain amount of tolls, and the clothed man will keep it a secret. This unwritten rule Yama knew and acquiesced. So you can't tell who those people are from him. β
"Hehe, it turns out that when Yama was managing the underworld, he was also a person who turned a blind eye. β
Yan Demon smiled: "Boy, don't look down on people. There are seven million tortured undead imprisoned in hell alone in this underworld, not counting those who walk on Huangquan Road and queue up in the Hades Hall every day. In the human world, countless ghost officials are assigned to collect souls and return to the underworld, and these things are all in the hands of Yama alone, do you think he doesn't want to take it easy? If this were me, I would be like him, going out from the underworld to play, and I don't want to care about anything, as long as there is no chaos. β
"Isn't that still a mess? So that's not right. β
"You have to pay attention, now he is not a ghost Shili by your side, but the ancient god Yama, who used to be on an equal footing with me. β
Yan Che did not respond. As long as you make a mistake, there is no absolute. Later, when I thought about it, the ghost ten miles had been with the demons for hundreds of years, and this time the problem in the underworld was caused by Daigo, so I didn't think so anymore.
When we arrived on the other side of the Lechuan River, it seemed that "ghosts" began to appear.
A sound like a heavy run came through the darkness, and it was getting closer. In this place where the yin qi is thick, it is no longer possible to tell whether it is a human or a ghost. When the figure was clearly visible, Mo Feixue gasped: This is a demon with a pair of fangs and a bald face that is running over. He was tall and burly, with a pinch of hair on his chest, like a bear. What's even worse is that this evil ghost is holding a dying ghost general in his hands. It was probably the evil ghost who smelled the breath of the living and came towards Mo Feixue. The evil ghost didn't look at others, just stared at Mo Feixue, and there was a hideous smile on his mouth.
Yan Che looked back at Mo Feixue, although Mo Feixue was a seven sword, this was the first time he had seen this kind of scene, and his expression had confirmed everything. He also deliberately quipped: "This ghost has never seen a woman and wants to marry you." β
Mo Feixue replied embarrassedly: "Marrying me is fake, and it is true that you want to eat me, right?"
Yan Che chuckled, feeling that Mo Feixue was not completely frightened. At this time, the evil ghost threw down the ghost general in his hand and ran towards Mo Feixue.
The hidden in Yan Che's shadow said to Yan Che to let him solve it. He is also one of the ghosts, and he is very good at dealing with the ghosts of the same sect, so Yan Che agreed.
Hidden then appeared, took out the twin shadows, and escaped into the darkness. The demon disappeared and ignored it, but Yin suddenly appeared on the demon's back, raised two black and white daggers, and stabbed the demon into his collarbone. The demon also stopped immediately, but surprisingly, the demon did not fall immediately, but looked back in surprise and met Yin's eyes, which surprised Yindu.
The demon turned back and grabbed Yin, and Yin quickly jumped away from the evil ghost to distance himself. And Yin Ye couldn't explain the scene in front of him in his mind, and he knew that his twin shadows could destroy the soul structure, whether it was a human or a ghost, after being stabbed, the three souls and seven spirits would inevitably become a plate of loose sand that could not be condensed. But this evil ghost has a pair of holes in his body except for his collarbone, as if nothing has happened, which is really incredible.
The demon pounced on Yin again, reaching out his hand with long nails and grabbing Xiang Yin. Yin could have easily dodged, but the wind blown by the evil ghost with his hand hit his face, and suddenly Yin's spirit was impacted, his vision appeared, and his hands and feet kept calling, and he couldn't leave it! Yan Che felt that something was wrong when he saw the state of Yin, and immediately summoned Yin back into his shadow to escape.
After coming back, he still knelt on the ground and held his forehead, still affected by the demonic aura. Ji Wumei on the side canceled him, saying that he was a Shadow Clan, and he couldn't even deal with a demon. But Yan Che and Yan Tiege had already sensed that something was wrong.
Yan Tiege said to Yan Che: "Che'er, just now, for a moment, did you notice a breath. β
"I see, uncle. It was the breath of the dragons. β
Yan Che and Yan Tiege's conversation surprised everyone. Yan Che didn't explain much, and now he had to step up. He stood before the crowd, and when the demon ran towards him again, he spewed black flames out of his mouth, and set the demon on fire.
The magic of the black flame burned the demons to ashes, but it also indicated that their future was dangerous. Yan Che asked people to save the ghost general who fell to the ground, but it was too late, and the ghost general was also too strong, and his soul was directly scattered and turned into nothing.
For a while, everyone was silent again.
Then, some voices were faintly heard. Probably, more demons are coming.
"Let's keep walking, let's go to the Hades Hall first. Yan Che gave an order to everyone, and everyone immediately got up and walked in the direction of the Hades Palace. Just as they were gone, hordes of demons came from all directions and pounced. They were noisy, fighting each other, smelling the air of living people, and running away in groups.
After walking for a while, a bright mansion finally appeared in front of Yan Che, and the surrounding stones emitted a strange light. The plaque on the mansion in the distance reads "Hades Palace" in three large characters.
"Here we are. Yan Che said to everyone, but then Yan Che realized that it was ominous: why does this Hades Palace seem empty?
