Everyone stared at the ghost gate in the distance, and it was an open gate. There was no wall on either side of the gate, and I didn't know what the purpose of the gate was.

Although there are no walls on either side of this ghost gate, you can't enter the underworld unless you enter through this gate. If you go around the two sides of the door, you will find that the other side of the door is pitch black, and you can't see the front of the door. This is the meaning of the existence of the ghost gate. Moreover, there has never been a way to enter through the Ghost Gate, and no one has ever been able to come out of the Ghost Gate.

Yan Che and the others continued to move forward and stepped into the ghost gate. As soon as I entered the ghost gate, I found that a faintly shiny avenue appeared in front of me. This avenue is called Huangquan Road, and the two sides of the avenue are full of flowers. These flowers have also been planted in the heavenly realm, and the living are never allowed to approach them. This is also the reason why no living person is allowed to enter the underworld, once you enter, even if you are alive, you have to die once.

After entering the Ghost Gate, the Flame Demon came out of Yan Che's body, looked around for a while, and then said, "Something is wrong. ”

Yan Che asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are two guards at the Ghost Gate, named Niu Tou Ma Mian. They guard the ghost gate day and night, and never leave here, so how can they not see their figures?"

The wolf tried to smell the air, only to find that the air was filled with a foul smell. Originally, he wanted to try to smell the scents of Yama or Daigo, but now he couldn't smell anything. Moreover, as the ancient primordial god, Yama, after leaving the physical body, there was no smell in the first place.

In the darkness, the eyes of the demon people can still be unobstructed. Yan Che glanced around and found that there was a bulge on the ground in the distance, which was particularly conspicuous on the flat Huangquan Road. He said that there was something strange in the distance, and he wanted to go up to see it, but he was stopped by the green wolf, saying that he could do this kind of thing for him. The wolf went there alone, and his body disappeared into the darkness. After waiting for a while, they heard the green wolf calling for Yan Che to come over, and everyone stepped forward together.

When I got to the side of the green wolf, I saw that the person lying in front of the green wolf was a burly giant with a bull's head face, about the same height as the green wolf. This person is the head of the bull, in fact, he is not a human, he is a ghost general.

In the underworld, there are sometimes contradictions according to human customs. For example, the current bull head, he still has a breath, according to human beings, he is still alive. However, this is in the underworld, and all those who are in the underworld are in the state of "dead". The current bull head, in other words, may still be "dead", and to be dead means to be alive.

The green wolf lifted the bull's head, and the bull's head naturally didn't recognize these people. A closer look at these people did not have the aura of ghosts, and they all exuded the breath of demons, which immediately made him understand that these people were not ghosts of the underworld, but foreign demons.

There were no wounds visible on the bull's body, but his state was dying. For the bull head in the soul state, everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

The bull head asked, "Who are you?"

The Fire Demon appeared from behind Yan Che, allowing the bull head to see him, and said, "Bull head, do you remember me?"

Niu Tou looked at the Yan Demon and recalled it carefully, before he suddenly realized: "Isn't this Zhu Rong, no, Yan Demon? Why are you here? The last time you came, it was three thousand years ago. ”

The Fire Demon smiled, "Yes, you still remember me. Let me ask you, why can't you see the faces of the horses if you don't separate them? And why are you seriously injured?"

Niu Tou shook his head and sighed: "My lord doesn't know, just a few days ago, more than 7 million tortured undead in the two major hells of the underworld, Ah Bi Hell and Bitter Cold Hell, suddenly rushed out of the hell in an attempt to break into the world from the underworld. There were so many of them that the Ghost Generals couldn't bring the spirits back, because the gates of hell couldn't be closed. What's more, those undead were originally powerless, and they actually started an attack on the ghost generals. After many twists and turns, someone found out that the source of the problem was from the nameless ghost, but only Lord Yama could enter it. We told Yama to come back quickly, and Ma Mian and I were injured while preventing the undead from escaping from the ghost gate. Now Ma Mian doesn't know where he is, so please help us with Lord Flame!"

The fire demon said: "In the underworld, how can I be as good as that guy from Yama, since he has returned, why hasn't he settled these things? Do you know that now the world is full of undead spirits, and the resentment is extremely heavy, and in the middle of the night, it is possible to take the flesh of the living." ”

"Lord Yama did come back, but he hasn't come out since he entered the Nameless Ghost Snake, so we don't know his condition. After my soul and I were wounded, we were powerless to stop the undead from escaping. Now that the ghosts of the yang world have also come back to help, they are only able to control the undead who live in the underworld and do not continue to escape, and they are no longer able to bring back the undead who fled to the human world. ”

Come to think of it, there are as many as seven million undead in this underworld, even more than the number of living people, where can the ghost officials and ghost generals control all the undead. But this is also even more suspicious, the underworld has spent tens of thousands of years in an orderly manner, and there has never been a mistake in going abroad, how could there be such a big mistake at this time? Yan Che suddenly remembered that Daigo and those people had also climbed the snow-capped mountain and entered the underworld, and hurriedly asked Niutou if there were a few humans who had been here.

Niu Tou thought about it carefully, and then said: "I'm afraid that the Demon King doesn't understand the underworld, only the dead can come in, how can the living come in." You are the only ones who are demons, and your souls are not under the jurisdiction of the demon realm, so you can come and go as you please. All I can say is that at least when I was unconscious, I didn't see anyone alive come in here. Even if they come in, this Huangquan road is full of flowers on the other side, even if they don't touch the flowers, as long as they smell the fragrance of flowers, they will definitely die. ”

When Niu Tou said this, it made Yan Che feel even more strange. Because the people of Daigo have been here, that's for sure. But the gatekeeper Niu Tou hadn't seen them, so it means that they must have used a special method to get in. Yan Che then continued to ask, "When did the undead riot begin?"

The bull head said, "About three days ago. ”

"Three days ago, then it's very likely that the group of people had infiltrated the underworld three days ago, and then a day later, they opened the gates of Hell and let the undead out, which caused the chaos. ”

Yan Che explained it this way, and it can indeed be a possibility. Niutou heard Yan Che say this, and suddenly felt that it was him and Ma Mian who were careless, causing today's situation, and felt a burst of regret. He asked Yan Che and the others to hurry across the Huangquan Road and go to the Yama Palace. Go and help Yama as soon as possible to make up for the mistakes you have made. Also, take a look on the road to see if you can find Ma Mian and confirm his condition. As for the injury of the bull head, he is a soul body, and if he exists in the underworld, the damaged soul will be repaired slowly. So he told everyone not to worry and rush to the Yama Hall as soon as possible.

Yan Che had no choice but to put down the bull's head and walk on the Huangquan Road together. This Huangquan Road is a bright avenue, and there are ghost lights suspended on the avenue to illuminate the ground. Both sides of the avenue are planted with flowers from the other side, and in the past, it was the flower girl from the other side who planted these flowers, but now I can't see her, and I don't know if she is in Sky City or just like Ma Mian, life and death are uncertain.

In the past, there would be many wandering spirits on this Huangquan Road, either the ghost fire led the undead forward, or the ghost officials led the team. But now Huangquan Road is empty, and there is no one in it, just like the world is peaceful all day, and no one has died on the ground. This is not a good thing, the cycle of life and death, this is the order of the world, once the order is out of order, the impact can be said to be devastating, and tens of thousands of years of hard work will be in vain.

When they reached the end of Huangquan Road, everyone could faintly see the flooding water. The fire demon said that the river was Lethe, and there was a river on the other side, called the Nai River. Crossing the Lethe River will forget the previous life, and crossing the Nai River means reincarnation, forgetting all the experiences in the underworld and becoming a new person. Looking at this Lethe, it seems that there is a feeling of backwater in the underworld. There are no waves on the water, calm as a stagnant water. There is no wind and grass, and even if there is, the surface of the water will not cause waves.

"How do we get there?" Yan Che asked.

Shark Po Evil stood up and said, "Young Master, I have the best water nature here, I will summon a prison beast to send everyone to the other side." ”

Yan Demon smiled, "Hehe, you can give it a try." But let me tell you, this Lethe River is not a stagnant water, and any living thing, including souls, will never be able to get out of the Lethe River if it enters the Lethe River. ”

Shark Po thought that he was ugly, so he said that it was better for everyone to fly over. But the flame demon said that this Lethe River can only be crossed by boat, and there is no way to get through. Once you use the Sky Flight, this Lethe River will become infinitely extended, and it will never fly to the other side. Back then, because of the Yan Demon's huge body, there was no suitable boat to support him across the river, so the Yan Demon walked directly down the Lethe River, scaring Yama by one. However, after the Flame Demon walked into Lethe, he was not affected in the slightest, and calmly reached the other side of the river, which made Yama Luo look at it for a while. When the fire demon put his foot into the river, he felt that the river was full of dead spirits that had fallen into the water, and they kept trying to enter his body, but they were all burned to ashes by his divine power. It's a pity that the Flame Demon now has only one primordial god left, and without a physical body, he can't reproduce the courage of the past. Moreover, Yan Che's water quality is not good, and I am afraid that I will not be able to climb out of the water even if I enter the water.

The crowd had to cross the river by boat, but the question was: what about the boat?

The fire demon said that the boatman who was holding the boat was a man in a cloak, a ghost official with a hat and a cloak, who was responsible for holding the boat and bringing the spirits of the dead to the other side. The undead can't look at his face at that time, and once he does, he will fall into Lethe and never be reincarnated. As long as there were people standing on the riverbank, the clothed man would have appeared soon, but this time he didn't show up right away.

The shark was walking along the river, and suddenly saw a boat by the river, so he called everyone over. When everyone got closer, they found two people lying next to the wooden boat, and half of one of them was submerged in the river.

When I looked at it first, I found a burly man with overflowing horsehair in his hair, which should be a horse's face. But the condition of this horse face looks much worse than that of the bull's head, and now the body is almost translucent, and the feeling is almost going to disappear. And the one who was half in the water, although he didn't have a hat, but he was wearing a robe, and he should be a man in a cloak.

The soul of this horse face is almost gone, and it seems to be dragging a piece of paper with his hands, which is extremely light. The shark broke the evil and dragged the clothed man up in the water, and found that the clothed man did not look very terrifying, and even a little handsome, which made him feel strange that the undead who saw his face fell into the river for some reason.

Now it's troublesome, both of them have fainted, and there is no one to help them cross the river, what should I do?

Yan Tiege thought of a slightly inappropriate but effective method: catch a few water ghosts from the Lechuan River, "fill the hunger" of Ma Mian and Lingyiweng, and replenish the soul with souls. In this way, their damaged souls can be quickly restored. However, if they do so, they lose their minds and become evil spirits, thinking of continuing to eat other undead.

Although this method was inappropriate and even a little unkind, in order to move forward, Yan Che still agreed. Anyway, when the problem on the other side of the river is solved, then let Yama help them return to normal. After saying that, the fire demon entered Yan Che's body and jumped into the Lechuan River, and the others could only wait on the shore.

As soon as Yan Che jumped into the water, the waves on the water surface could be said to disappear in an instant, becoming as calm as a mirror. And after Yan Che jumped into the river, the river filled his ears, and when he opened his eyes, he was slightly surprised: "It turns out that the bottom of this river is so crowded, it is actually full of water ghosts!"
