Chapter 166: Lin Yun in the Cage
Lin Yun looked at the ancient well in front of him, the ancient well was secluded, as if it was connected to the Netherworld, once he entered it, he would never recover, and he would never be able to live forever.
The feeling that this ancient well gave Lin Yun was even more terrifying than the ancient well he encountered in the long river of chaos, although he saw a terrifying existence from the ancient era in that ancient well, but there was no ill will towards him.
"It's better to stay away from there," suddenly, a voice came from behind Lin Yun.
Lin Yun turned around and saw an old man with immortal wind bones standing behind him for some time, seeing the old man in front of him, Lin Yun was not surprised, and said, "Where is this ancient well connected?"
"I don't know," the old man shook his head, and said, "I don't know where this ancient well is connected, because none of the people who entered came out alive, and there was once a saint who entered it without making any waves." ”
Sage, for Qinghe County, no, it should be the supreme existence of the Great Qin Empire, the ruler of this heaven and earth, the founder of the Great Qin Empire is a sage, and now in the empire, I am afraid there are not many saints.
In the past thousand years, I have not heard of anyone in the Great Qin Empire breaking through to the Holy Dao, and the saints of a thousand years ago have either left this side of the world or died of old age.
Although monks live a long life, they are not immortal.
Lin Yun looked at the ancient well in front of him and said, "Being able to kill the Sage, but it doesn't mean that you can leave me, old fellow, there is nothing to do with you here, but just in case, let the people of your academy leave here." ”
Lin Yun didn't know what was down here, but he knew that once there was a change, I was afraid that this side of the world would be swallowed by darkness.
When the time comes, all living beings will die.
Lin Yun didn't hesitate and went directly into the ancient well.
The old man with the immortal wind and bones saw that Lin Yun actually entered without hesitation, and the old man's face showed a look of surprise, you must know that he just said that the sage would be dead when he entered.
"I can't see through, I can't figure it out," the old man said with a sigh, since Lin Yun came to Tianhe Academy, he had already noticed the other party, but he had never been able to see through the young man in front of him.
In the eyes of the old man, Lin Yun is a very strange existence, it seems that he is not very old, and he is a little old, but sometimes he is a little immature.
......
Entering the ancient well, Lin Yun felt as if he was traveling through the long river of time, shuttling through a dark time and space channel, and he was about to enter another world, a world far away from the Eight Desolations.
"Hey," the gourd vine in Lin Yun's life palace let out a sigh and said, "Boy, since you have chosen, I will tell you some things." ”
"What's the matter?" Lin Yun asked, now he has been falling, I don't know how many years he will fall, there is no danger around, but there is plenty of time.
"The method of gathering the top of the three flowers," the gourd vine exuded brilliance, and an illusory figure manifested, and said: "Although the method of gathering the top of the three flowers has reappeared in the world now, no one can successfully cultivate at all. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun asked puzzledly, he was also cultivating the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, but now he hadn't condensed the Three Flowers yet, he felt that this Three Flowers Gathering Peak method should not be very difficult.
"Go up into the heavenly dome to attract the heavenly soul, go down into the netherworld to lock the earth soul, the three souls will be one, and the immortal holy soul will be cast," said the figure in the gourd vine.
Lin Yun didn't speak, waiting for the gourd vine to continue.
Hulu Teng continued: "This one goes up to the heavenly dome, you should have guessed it, do you think you can still go up, if you can't go up, how to attract the heavenly soul." ”
The Heavenly Dome is not the Heavenly Dome in the upper world, but the Heavenly Dome in the Palace of Life, the world behind the Heavenly Gate in the Palace of Life.
The last time Lin Yun only probed his Divine Soul a little, he was attacked and killed by the Heavenly Sword, let alone enter it to lure the Heavenly Soul down and integrate it into his own Divine Soul.
"The way of heaven has changed, and cultivation has also changed, now this Eight Desolations, how to say it," the gourd vine hesitated for a moment, and said: "The Five Qi Dynasty Yuan and the Three Flowers Gather at the Top, it should not be in the present world, this is the law of the past, it is the law of the primordial world, with the destruction of the primordial world, this method can no longer be successfully cultivated, because there is a sword that cuts off this cultivation path." ”
The gourd vine didn't say who cut it, but what it was cut off, Lin Yun knew.
Heavenly Sword.
The first sword of the heavens.
Ask who in the world can resist the killing of the Heavenly Sword, even if it is just a brand.
Of course, those heavenly taboos can be resisted, but they have already cultivated to the heavens, and they don't need to continue to cultivate the Three Flowers Gathering at all, their three souls have long been one, immortal and immortal.
"What does it mean to go down into the Netherworld?" Lin Yun asked, "Could it be that there is a passage connecting to the Netherworld under the Destiny Palace?"
"Yes," Hulu Teng said, "But the Netherworld is not like the Heavenly Gate, and your kid's Heavenly Gate is different from others. ”
"Why is it different?" Lin Yun asked, he didn't know about other people's Heavenly Gate, it was impossible to arrest a Saint Dao powerhouse and force the other party to comprehend Heavenly Gate.
"Not everyone is ......connected to the Heavenly Gate," the gourd vine suddenly stopped, and said, "Don't talk about this, let's talk about this netherworld." ”
Lin Yun was immediately disappointed when he heard this, every time the other party talked about some core issues, he would stop, which was very appetizing.
Soon, Lin Yun reached the end of the line and fell into a dark, cold world, the whole world was pitch black, there was no light, and the sky and the earth were filled with strange dark substances.
There was a brilliant golden light in his eyes, and his fiery eyes were urged to the extreme, and suddenly the dark world in front of him was no longer pitch black.
Seeing the vision in front of him, Lin Yun's eyes were horrified.
In this vast and dark world, it was a ruin, and the shattered stars were suspended in the sky, and huge creatures fell to the ground.
These creatures are huge, as big as a world.
These creatures are not ordinary creatures, there are real dragons, phoenixes, and kunpeng, these are all extremely powerful creatures, but now they are all turned into corpses.
Even the corpses still exuded a terrifying coercion that made the heavens tremble, and these creatures must have been at least the existence of the Heavenly Emperor level during their lifetimes.
As far as the eye can see, there are really as many existences of this level as ants, all piled up in this world.
The fiery eyes were constantly urged by Lin Yun, the golden runes flowed, and they could see through everything, and they saw in the distance, there was a huge grinding disc, which was grinding away all living beings, and a sword was cutting huge living beings into small pieces.
Huge chains, running through the heavens, pull huge beings from another world into this world, and then cut them into pieces with swords and wear them away with grinding discs.
What is this?
Processed foods?
But the image soon faded, and everything in front of him became dead and silent again, with corpses straddling the heavens and the earth.
Lin Yun didn't dare to imagine, feeling that there must be an incomparably terrible truth in this, which could not be touched, and once touched, it would be a catastrophe.
"I know there are some things you can't say, but there is one thing I want to know, does every living being have their own heavenly realm, their own netherworld?" Lin Yun asked.
The gourd vine was silent and did not answer.
Lin Yun didn't continue to ask.
The atmosphere was a little oppressive.
Lin Yun thought for a moment and said, "I heard that planting plants in some filthy places can make plants grow more vigorously, and I feel that you can grow more vigorously." ”
"Threaten me?" "Hulu vine snorted coldly, and then said: "It doesn't belong to you, heaven and earth don't belong to you, everything is heaven and earth themselves, it's just because they have some special imprints that they can be connected." ”
The gourd vine did not explain in detail, and said vaguely.
Lin Yun didn't ask, but savored it, savoring the meaning of the words, and then looked ahead, looked at those huge creatures, and muttered to himself, "Are these creatures real creatures, or are they just earth souls?" or are they just an imprint, an imprint that remains in the netherworld. ”
If it is the latter, just a single imprint can be immortal for millions of years, and millions of years are still permeated with such a terrible coercion, and it is very likely that they were all high-ranking emperors during their lifetimes.
Suddenly, Lin Yun's eyes shone brightly, and he looked into the distance, as if he could endless time and space, and saw that there was an abyss cage there, as if it was the eighteenth layer of hell.
There was a man, covered in chains, sitting in the cold, dark cage with his hair scattered.
When he saw that figure, Lin Yun's soul trembled, because that figure looked exactly like him, and he seemed to have a trace of connection with the other party in the dark.
How is this possible, how can I be locked there.
If you are locked there, who is you now?
"That's you, it's another person, you in the underworld, it's your earth soul," the gourd vine's voice sounded in Lin Yun's mind.
"The three flowers gather at the top, beyond the Three Realms, not among the Five Elements," the gourd vine sighed and said, "Originally, I thought you couldn't see it, but I never thought you could see it, but when you did, you couldn't avoid some cause and effect." ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun asked, "Isn't my earth soul in my body, if I don't have three souls, how can I still live in the world." ”
Every living being has three souls, if the three souls are missing, then it means that this life is incomplete, it will be difficult to live, and the fire of life will be slowly extinguished.
"It's just a mark," Hulu Teng said: "The three souls, in fact, only the living soul is in the body, the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the one in the body is just a brand, the origin is not in the body of the living soul, the heavenly soul is in the heavenly realm, and the earth soul is in the netherworld."
The three flowers gather at the top, capture the soul of the earth, attract the soul of the sky, and the three souls are fused into one, so that they will truly transcend the outside, and if they set foot in this realm, they can be ranked in the immortal class, according to the current realm, it is equivalent to the existence of the emperor of heaven. ”
"The Three Flowers Gathering Peak is the Heavenly Emperor," Lin Yun was surprised, originally he thought that the Three Flowers Gathering Peak was just building a foundation, but he didn't expect that if his cultivation reached the Three Flowers Gathering Peak, he would already be the Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Yun thought for a while and said, "Today's Heavenly Emperor, have they all reached the top of the Three Flowers?"
"When you reach the top of the three flowers, you must be the Emperor of Heaven, but the Emperor of Heaven does not have to reach the top of the three flowers," the gourd vine said: "The way of heaven has changed, and the way of heaven today is not the way of heaven that it used to be, many things are correct in the original world, but it may be wrong in today's world, sometimes it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm afraid of misleading you, after all, I'm not a creature of this era, in this era one plus one equals two, but in my time one plus one is equal to ten, so to speak, you can understand!"
"But the avenues are the same, and there are always many things in common," Lin Yun said: "Don't use these excuses to fool me, I know that sometimes, you can't say, but it depends on the situation, now that I have come to this netherworld, then don't have any reservations about the information about this world." ”
"If I release the earth soul and completely merge with me, will I be able to transcend life and death," Lin Yun asked.
Hulu Teng thought for a moment and said, "It's better not to, because it's not just your earth soul." ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Yun's consciousness appeared in the life palace, his eyes looked at the gourd vine, and said, "Could it be that my earth soul is still occupied by others?"
"It can't be said that it is someone else," Hulu Teng said, "Do you think you are you?"
"Nonsense, I'm not me, am I still someone else," Lin Yun said a little speechlessly, feeling that he couldn't communicate with this guy.
"Are you the Emperor of the Heavens?"
"Are you that Lin Yun in the Xuanhuang Realm?"
"Are you Lin Yun of the Xuantian Sword Sect?"
The gourd vine asked three questions in a row.
Lin Yun wanted to say that he was, but for some reason when he wanted to say 'yes', it seemed that there was a force in the dark that prevented him from saying this.
Hulu Teng said: "Emperor Yuntian is dead, and Lin Yun, a disciple of the Xuantian Sword Sect, is also dead, and you, Lin Yun, are not their successors, you are you." ”
Lin Yun was silent, he was very smart, and he quickly understood the meaning of the gourd vine's words, people have three souls, even if they are the same as the earth soul and the heavenly soul, but the living soul is different.
The soul comes from the ancestors, from the parents.
The three souls make up one person, one whole person.
Hulu vine said: "It is also because of this that many living beings do not believe in reincarnation, because they think that after reincarnation, they are no longer themselves, even if they are the same as the heavenly soul and the earth soul, but the living soul changes. ”
"Of course, there are many living beings who don't care, thinking that the living soul is just a kind of bearing, a kind of inheritance, a carrier of memory, and the inheritance of bloodline, as long as you remember all kinds of previous lives, then the previous life is me, and I am the past life. ”
Hulu vine said another explanation, for which one to believe, it depends on everyone's choice, just like there is no exactly the same flower in the world, if you have to entangle, then you may always fall into it.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, so I'll tell you, don't dig too deep, there are some things that can't be traced," Hulu Teng was afraid that Lin Yun's mood would be affected, so he changed the topic and didn't talk about it.
Lin Yun came back to his senses, looked ahead, and found that the scene ahead had changed, and he couldn't see his earth soul, as if everything was an illusion just now.
Soon, everything around heaven and earth began to disintegrate, and the huge corpses slowly disappeared, and finally the whole world returned to dead silence and desolation.
In this dark world, Lin Yun was the only one standing there.
Pressed by fiery eyes, no matter how Lin Yun urged, he couldn't see those scenes before.
"What's going on?" Lin Yun asked.
Hulu vine said: "This is the netherworld, it changes every moment, everything just now may be an illusion, it may be real, it may be something that happened in the past, and it may also be something that will happen in the future." ”
"I can understand the past, but the future?" Lin Yun asked, "Can you really accurately predict the future, and in the future, you think I will be locked in a dark prison?"
Hulu vine said: "I don't know, but I can tell you something, it's best not to stay in the Netherworld for a long time, now the Netherworld has long been destroyed with the primordial world, but there are still a lot of weirdness and ominous, if you die here, you will die completely, there is no future." ”
Lin Yun walked forward, go back?
The road when you can't walk.
There is no other way to do it.
Lin Yun sensed the power of this heaven and earth, and some changes occurred in the life palace, and in his life palace, there seemed to be a pitch-black passage emerging, and the pitch-black passage connected the strange place.
Lin Yun asked while feeling it, "You should have captured the Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul, and the Three Flowers Gathered!"
The gourd vine did not answer.
Lin Yun continued: "You said that my current cultivation is right, if there is a mistake, it is best to give some advice, if I die here, won't you also be trapped here." ”
"It's okay, I'm just a brand. The gourd vine said lightly, looking unconcerned.
Lin Yun continued to cultivate, although the other party did not say that he was cultivating correctly now, but he would not be wrong to think about it, after all, if the other party really didn't care about his life and death, he would have been killed by the Zhutian Sword a long time ago.
Lin Yun urged the method of sacrificing to the sky.
Sacrifice to the sky, not only the 'sky', but also the underworld, communicate the avenue of the netherworld, feel the power of the avenue of the netherworld, and master the power of the netherworld.
Hulu Teng looked at Lin Yun and said in his heart: "It's really smart, you don't need to be taught to be enlightened, but it's a pity that you live in the wrong world." ”
The figure manifested by the gourd vine seemed to be able to see the outside world through endless time and space, and see the deepest part of the netherworld.
Although it is still so dark here, it lacks the excitement of previous years.
Netherworld, the destination of the dead, endless living beings will return to this place after death, bear the cause and effect of life, and reincarnate here.
The figure of the gourd vine seems to have seen the netherworld before the endless era, and the prosperous netherworld, although this is the place where the yin soul is, but there is very little prosperity here, and there are many special creatures.
But everything was reduced to nothingness in the midst of that catastrophe.
The avenue evolves everything in heaven and earth, and everything is buried under the avenue.
......
At this time, Lin Yun continued to sense, and now he had vaguely felt the location of the earth soul, but now he could not connect to the place where the earth soul was.
However, it can attract the power of the earth soul, and in that cold passage, there is a special substance that pervades and nourishes its own soul.
This feeling is very familiar to Lin Yun, this is the same as the power after opening the Heavenly Gate and attracting the Heavenly Gate, it can strengthen his own divine soul.
Come to think of it, this is the three-flower gathering for it.
It's just that this is not the real three-flower gathering, because the heavenly soul and the earth soul have not returned to their places, but the power of those two souls has been passed over and strengthened the divine soul.
The heavenly soul is still in the heavenly gate, and the earth soul is still in the underworld.
Therefore, Lin Yun could not be detached, detached from heaven and earth.
......
Lin Yun continued on the road, and saw many bones along the way, these bones had been dead for many years, and there was no strength left, and they turned into flying sand at the slightest touch.
Not only did they see the bones, but they also saw many temples, but they all collapsed and turned into ruins, leaving no energy left.
"The Netherworld is not a world of the undead, this is a palace with corpses and bones, and those who don't know think that this is a world invaded by darkness," Lin Yun said.
Hulu vine said: "Who told you that the Netherworld is a world where the undead wander, for you, there are all undead here, but for the Netherworld, you are the undead." ”
"What?" Lin Yun was shocked.
Hulu vine said: "It's nothing, what is life, what is death, sometimes it is difficult to define, when you are detached, you will understand that life and death are just a form, a different embodiment of the Tao." ”
Lin Yun didn't understand it very well, and felt very mysterious.
There is no further explanation of the gourd vine, some things are very troublesome to explain, only when you reach that realm, you will understand, if you don't reach that realm, it is useless to say.
Lin Yun rummaged through those dilapidated halls, wanting to explore the world, and found some quaint stone tablets with special words on them.
However, fortunately, these words contain the power of the Great Dao, and they are words that evolved from the Great Dao, so they are easy to understand.
"I've heard that the Soul River originated from the Netherworld, I don't know if it's true?" Lin Yun asked.
"Sort of," Huluvine gave a vague answer.
This made Lin Yun want to hang the gourd vine and beat it, and then directly burn it as a burning stick.
Suddenly, Lin Yun heard a ghost cry, not one, but a lot of them, many, many ghosts were crying and wailing.
Lin Yun's consciousness seemed to have crossed endless time and space, crossed heaven and earth, and saw a ball of light, in which there were many balls of light, and these balls of light were intertwined with each other.
It seems to be chaotic and intertwined, but it seems to give people a strand in between, these seemingly chaotic are actually rehearsed in a secret special order.
It's like tiny gears overlapping each other, driving all the gears to work.
Of course, these are not cogs, but worlds.
Lin Yun seemed to understand, stretched out a hand forward, as if he had grabbed something, and then pulled it suddenly, as if pulling the whole world.
The secluded passage in the palace of life became more and more weird, and the black whirlpool flowed, and there seemed to be a chain in the whirlpool, running through endless time and space, connecting Lin Yun's palace of life.
Seeing this, Hulu Teng sighed and said, "I still let him feel it, these guys are dead, and there are so many things." ”
The sound of those ghosts crying wolves is not wailing, but a special language, a language that belongs to the netherworld, and they contain a special meaning that can attract the power of the netherworld.
Lin Yun saw one cage again, and the other himself was locked in a cage.
At the same time, I saw that there were many cages, and most of these cages had a figure, and these figures were locked in the cage.
Lin Yun didn't care about those figures, and now he was struggling to pull the chain connected to his body, to pull it up.
Only by pulling it up can he be regarded as truly fusing the earth soul, and in this way, the two souls will become one.
The figure in the gourd vine watched Lin Yun's spirit pull the chains of the Great Dao order hard, and said: "Although this is an opportunity, an opportunity to be able to transcend in this era, but it is very dangerous, you are pulling the earth soul, in fact, the earth soul is also pulling you, if he pulls you into that dark passage, you will die." ”
"What?"
Lin Yun was surprised, looked at the gourd vine, and said, "Why didn't you say it just now." ”
Hulu vine said: "I didn't expect you to really be able to lock your earth soul just now, although you saw your earth soul, but it is impossible to lock your earth soul, otherwise you won't be able to continue to see where your earth soul is, but something happened just now." ”
"I really don't want to feel the pulling force you said?" Lin Yun released the chain in his hand, only to see that the chain fell to the ground, and there was no sign of being pulled into the black hole.
Hulu vine said: "It's not time yet, and now you can't pull it up, I'll show you the way out." ”
The gourd vine felt that with the power of Lin Yun's divine soul now, he couldn't pull the earth soul up at all, after all, even in the primordial world, there were only a few people who could really capture the earth soul, and those few were all big people standing at the peak.
Now, although Lin Yun's divine soul is relatively powerful, on the one hand, he can't compare to the top Saint Dao peak powerhouse, and on the other hand, if today's Dao has already changed, it is even more difficult to capture the earth soul.
"Open the gate of heaven, break through the netherworld, step on reincarnation, in the endless river of time, once again find the true self, at that time, maybe there will be a glimmer of life," Hulu vine said.
Lin Yun frowned slightly when he heard this, he has not yet reached a desperate situation, this is going to let me die? What are you kidding, stepping on reincarnation, I am going to seek the rhythm of death.
Hulu vine said: "Don't worry, there are some means that you will not lose yourself in reincarnation, you only need to leave a mark, one day this mark will be revived, of course this is the back road, now you can still continue to try to pull the earth soul up." ”
"As you said before, am I still me after reincarnation?" Lin Yun asked.
Hulu vine said: "If you believe it, if you don't believe it, it's not, many things are difficult to say clear, just like Emperor Yuntian and you." ”
Lin Yun was silent, and then his gaze became sharp, and he said: "I don't ask about the past, I don't ask about the future, I just know that I am now and I am enough." ”
Do not pursue the past, do not pin on the future.
In this world, I will sweep the heavens and conquer the heavens and the earth.
This is my choice and my way.
