Chapter 3: The Great Living Hell
It took two days to stop, and it was enough to see the vastness of this underworld, if there was no cultivation soul decision, it would really take several years as King Qin Guang said.
Suddenly, Zhou Buqi felt a deep sense of extreme coldness, eerie and biting, and every breath he breathed seemed to be threatened.
"Ghost Elder, why is it so cold here?"
"What's the matter, I can't stand it before it starts?" the ghost elder glanced at and continued: "This is the periphery of the First Great Hell, this First Great Hell is called the Living Great Hell, it is at the bottom of the sea, under the fertile reef in the south, it is five hundred years long, eight thousand miles long, and it has an even cooler name - Stripping Pavilion Ice Hell!"
Zhou Buqi gasped after hearing this, he was mentally prepared before, but after listening to the ghost elder's introduction, he couldn't help but regret a little, but he didn't feel clenched his fists when he thought of the shame of his life.
"Boy, it's too late to regret it. Otherwise, it won't be too late for you to enter the ice pool. "Hell-old way.
"Regret? I never give up and never do anything I regret. ”
"Okay, I really have backbone, and I deserve to be the chosen person of the adults, and come with me. After speaking, the ghost old man turned around and left, and Zhou Buqi stepped up his pace to follow.
After a while, they came to a mushroom-shaped stone platform, in front of which there was a six-foot wide platform, and there was a person sitting on the platform, who was domineering and majestic, wide and fat, with a hideous complexion, and was three meters high. When they saw the ghost, the two immediately got up and clasped their fists:
"Waiting for the ghost elder!"
"Hmm!" the ghost elder nodded perfunctorily, "King Chu Jiang, this is the person chosen by the adults, and the rest will be handed over to you." ”
"King Chu Jiang, is this the second hall master King Chu Jiang?" Zhou Buqi muttered in his heart, "How can you be so terrifying, not as good as King Qin Guang's face." ”
"Arrogant boy, seeing that my King Chujiang actually doesn't know how to salute, I really don't know how thick the sky is. When King Chu Jiang saw Zhou Buqi standing there stunned, he broke the silence first.
"Late, the younger generation Zhou does not abandon and does not know the name of the king of Chujiang, there are many offenses, please atone for your sins. Zhou Buqi was obviously frightened, every word of King Chu Jiang seemed to hit the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't breathe, this may be the crushing of strength, and sure enough, strength is a good thing.
"Well, since you are the chosen person of the adults, and you have the intention to break into the eight hells of the underworld, then it is up to you to create. King Chu Jiang said: "You go up with me to the stripping pavilion." ”
Immediately, the king of Chujiang waved his sleeves, and several people appeared in a red pavilion, the pavilion was ten zhang high, the black pillar red tile, the west stone tablet, eight feet high, and there were three big characters on it - stripping pavilion.
Outside the pavilion is surrounded by endless lakes, but this lake is different from the world, the lake has no waves, but the lake water is full of an extremely cold air, this cold air invades the five mansions and six organs, Zhou Buqi can no longer resist under this kind of coercion, directly kneeling on the ground, unable to turbulent.
"This cold ice water is the cold water of the ancient world, and the blockade of this place has been for hundreds of years, ordinary people can't say that they can't get this water, even if they are forced by this cold air within a radius of hundreds of miles, but the spiritual energy inside is very sufficient, it coexists with the other world, and it is inexhaustible, and those who can enter the cultivator can get this opportunity to become a strong person in the Chaos Continent to become a spiritual energy slam, not to mention the competition of exercises, who can compare with the foundation of this spiritual energy alone?" The key is to withstand this extremely cold trial, and your muscles and bones can undergo earth-shattering changes, because there is nothing colder in this Chaos Continent, how can it trap you?"
"Boy, are you ready?" said the ghost elder impatiently.
"Come on!" Zhou Buqi clenched his fists and stood up with difficulty.
"Okay, hideous, red-haired two ghosts, take him into this cold hell!" Chu Jiang said.
As the words fell, two monsters appeared out of thin air, human and animal faces, one with a hideous face, and the other with red eyes and red hair, this is hideous, two ghosts with red hair, and their duty is to lead the souls into this cold hell.
The hideous red-haired two ghosts muttered in their mouths, only to see a whirlpool on the calm lake, and after a few breaths, there was a white light above the whirlpool, presumably this was the entrance to this icy hell.
With a wave of the two ghosts, Zhou Buqi was already floating naked above the white light, and then with the second ghost's voice: "Fall!" After that, the white light disappeared, and the lake regained its calm again, and Zhou Buqi's figure disappeared, presumably falling into the bottom of this pool.
"Ghost Lao, we can only wait. "King Chu Jiang made a fuss at the ghost elder.
"Well, the rest can only depend on his own creation, and we can't help much. The ghost old man closed his eyes and said.
......
Pool Bottom ...... There is not a single living creature within a hundred miles, and some are just invisible ends......
Zhou Buqi opened his eyes, and before he could think about anything, he was invaded by the biting chill and hugged his body, and when he looked again, he found that he was naked and naked. This stripping pavilion is really as its name suggests, and not a single piece of clothing is left.
How can he resist such an environment, as time goes by, Zhou Buqi's body becomes more and more stiff, no, he is just a soul, how can he feel like this. As everyone knows, this cold water is a thing of the underworld, but it has its effect.
Zhou Buqi recited the mantra of the soul decision, hoping to find something in this endless place, as for why Cui moved the soul decision at this time, it was because he didn't know anything but this exercise, maybe this was his last hope......
After only a few breaths, the chill became more and more intense, and his movements became slower and slower.
Another few breaths, Zhou Buqi's limbs can no longer move, another few breaths, Zhou Buqi can no longer stand, and a few breaths, Zhou Buqi's bones have been completely shattered......
Zhou Buqi had already closed his eyes, and he could no longer withstand the test of this cold.
......
"Your Excellency was right, this kid really couldn't stand this test, no wonder he gave me this key in the first hell. "I don't know when, a monster appeared next to Zhou Buqi, saying that it was a monster, but it was much better than a strange creature like a ghost, I saw that this thing had a horn on its head, crystal clear, a sheep-faced deer body, and a height of only about five feet, in fact, there was a little cuteness.
"Zhuling Pill, go ahead. ”
Immediately, a golden pill about the size of a finger flew into Zhou Buqi's mouth.
Suddenly, all the spiritual power in this boundless space converged towards Zhou Bu's eyebrows at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it continued until it was emptied.
After a few breaths, Zhou Buqi's body changed slightly, his originally frozen body slowly became a little ruddy, and the ice on his body gradually dissipated, looking no different from a normal person's complexion.
After a few more breaths, Zhou Buqi coughed slowly twice, and then opened his eyes, and all the discomfort had disappeared at this time.
He stood up slowly, and inadvertently saw the little monster just now, urging the soul to take a few steps back, and prepare for the battle, because in this strange environment, anyone could be his enemy: "Who are you?" Zhou Buqi had already seen a monster like Ghost Li, and he was not too surprised to see this kind of creature in this underworld, but he just strengthened his vigilance.
"Haha! Monster? I just saved your life, and you call me a monster?"
"Did you save me?" Zhou Buqi was puzzled.
"Boy, listen up, I am the guardian spirit beast of this cold hell - Citrus, I am here to open the spiritual energy and blood in your body on the order of the adult, you actually have no gratitude at all, you are really looking for a fight. After that, a chill threw Zhou Buqi a few meters away.
"Seniors, juniors don't know Taishan, just a lot of offense, juniors are very grateful to their seniors for saving their lives. Zhou Buqi can still distinguish between good and evil, and he can only compromise in this situation: "The juniors don't understand too much about the aura and bloodline mentioned by the seniors, so please give me some advice." ”
"I only know that you have an extraordinary bloodline in your body, but you yourself may not know how to open it, or you may be sealed by others, and your lord told me to wait here, if one day you can sense this bloodline, you will activate it with the Spirit Pill, and nothing else knows. He pondered for a moment and continued, "You haven't seen the real ice hell yet. ”
"Where is the real Ice Hell?" Zhou asked curiously.
"Right at your feet, good luck boy......" Before the words fell, the orange had disappeared without a trace.
The fog that will not give up for the rest of the week is at your feet? But this place is deserted, do you want to break the ...... under your feet?
Zhou Buqi used the spiritual power of his whole body and urged the soul to decide, now he is already a person who activates the spiritual power bloodline, and he is no longer a mortal root, under his urging like this, layers of qi blades appeared under his feet, but he can only come hard without any exercises.
The spiritual power in the body seemed to have no end, the qi blade under his feet became bigger and bigger, more and more terrifying, after a few breaths, the earth built by the cold ice actually cracked, and after a few breaths, the ice ground directly turned into powder, and Zhou Bu's body disappeared.
Through the layers of cold hell water, Zhou Buqi seemed to have reached the bottom, his body no longer sank, and he barely stood up after urging this soul decision, this is the bottom of the hell sea, and what made Zhou Buqi's jaw drop even more was that he could actually breathe and walk at the bottom of the sea, could this be the surprise of activating the spiritual power bloodline?
Zhou does not abandon the front of a few miles only to find that there is a palace-like ancient building in front, go forward to take a look, only to find that this hall is unimaginable, only the main entrance of the palace has a hundred zhang high, the door is ten feet thick, the door hangs a big plaque, the plaque has four words - extremely cold place. The real Ice Hell is here, and it should be right.
Zhou Buqi urged the soul to decide, and when he was about to approach, the stone gate slowly opened by itself, but there was no one, Zhou Buqi didn't care about anything and accelerated forward, and it was unimpeded for several miles, and he couldn't help but have some worries in his heart.
After a moment of straight road, I saw a pavilion 100 meters away, a pool of pond water behind the pavilion, and the pond was not more than 100 meters around. I saw a stone tablet standing by the pavilion, and three big characters were written on the tablet - stripping pavilion!
"What?" Zhou Buqi called out in surprise, because he came from the stripping pavilion, but here, and there was a pool of water at the bottom of the sea, which was obviously not understood according to the convention: "Could it be that this pool of water is the real ice hell? And this is an extremely cold place, it should be here, right?"
Zhou Buqi got closer and closer, and the cold became more and more intense, obviously not comparable to the outside, but he already had the body of spiritual energy and blood, and he could still hold it.
"Forget it, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell?" Zhou Buqi jumped in without hesitation, sinking deeper and deeper, until dozens of miles, this pool was no more than 100 meters around, but I didn't expect it to be so deep.
But who would have thought that the bottom of this pool was a different scene, the surrounding ice-like walls, crystal clear, but the walls were engraved with strange words, but to Zhou Buqi's surprise, he actually understood this text that he had never met, this text recorded two sets of ancient exercises, one is - ice clothes trick, the other is - ice tricks.
Zhou Buqi stepped forward and stroked the ice wall, a cold air invaded the body, quickly withdrew his hand, and then saw that the wall had disappeared, Zhou Buqi was so fierce that the word had entered his mind at some point, and before he could react, the whole ground under his feet began to shake, the ice wall cracked, and then he heard a low roar:
"Who dares to encroach on the king's domain?"
Zhou Buqi came back to his senses at this time, only to see an ice sculpture lion appear in front of him at some point, it was a lion, not bad, but the body size was dozens of times larger than a normal lion, and the whole body was transparent, just like an ice sculpture.
Zhou Buqi was so frightened by the sudden attack in front of him that he took a few steps back, and then urged his soul to use the aura of his whole body to prepare for battle.
"It's you stinky fellow, you dare to steal from me, and you will die. ”
The ice lion opened his mouth as he spoke, and then a giant sword like an ice sculpture galloped towards Zhou Buqi, Zhou Buqi urged the soul to dodge quickly, who knew that this lion could turn qi into form with just one mouth.
In this way, you come and go, and after a few breaths, the ice lion is a little annoyed: "You have this ability, can you only run?" Then the ice lion stopped and ...... Look up to the sky and howl,.
Suddenly, all the surroundings were iced, and Zhou Buqi's feet began to slowly freeze, and then his legs, seeing that he was almost all over his body, Zhou Buqi remembered the ice coat trick, urged the exercises, and disappeared behind the ice lion in one breath, and then looked at himself, his whole body was already covered with a layer of ice armor, which was very beautiful.
The ice lion looked back at this scene, and his eyes were incredulous: "Who are you, my treasure can't be obtained if an ordinary person cultivates for several years, and you actually ...... I can't keep you today!"
After that, the ice lion roared like crazy with the spiritual power of his whole body.
I saw that the heavens and the earth changed suddenly, the temperature around the body was extremely concentrated and dropped, and even the place where I stepped on it was frozen and cracked, even if Zhou Buqi was running this ice armor at great speed, he was a little unable to resist.
He wanted to use the ice control technique in his brain, but it was difficult to understand it, so he had to use the spiritual power of his whole body and the battle clothes on his body to barely support it. Now it is called that the heavens should not be right, and the earth and the earth are not spiritual.
When Zhou Buqi was about to give up, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind: "Okay, since you want to ice me, then I'll let you succeed this time." "It always feels like someone is in charge of everything.
Zhou Buqi gave up completely, sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, and after a few breaths, he turned into an ice sculpture......
"Animal, now it's me. I don't know when Zhou Buqi stood quietly behind the ice lion, holding an ice halberd in his hand that he didn't know where to get it.
"What, when are you ...... How did your spiritual power attribute become an ice attribute, although your spiritual power is profound, but when I first saw you, you should be a hairy boy without any attributes" Ice Lion was a little angry but mixed with a hint of uneasiness: "No, your spiritual power has a familiar taste." ”
The Ice Lion couldn't tell, but the smell made him feel a little breathless, after all, it had been hundreds of years since the last time someone conquered it, and it had been suppressed since then, until now. It knew very well that if the young man in front of it made a move, it should not be able to resist a single move.
Zhou Buqi looked at the ice lion's reaction and was very puzzled, but he knew that this kind of coercion was not himself, but from a spiritual light in his mind just now, so he also pretended to say: "Do you dare to take me a move?"
"The young man spares his life, and my ice lion king is willing to be a slave and a servant for the young man. ”
Zhou Buqi thought about it, after all, this lion king is the root of this cold and ice hell, and if he leaves this place, he is afraid that it will not be possible for the king of Chujiang to talk about it, even if he doesn't give the king of Chujiang face, he has to give the ghost old man a face, after all, the existence of the ghost old man is not something he can imagine.
"Forget it, you still honestly guard this cold hell, I don't want King Chu Jiang to lose the black yarn,"
Originally, the Lion King also wanted to take this opportunity to get out of this sea of suffering, but now it seems that there is no hope.
didn't wait for it to come back to its senses, Zhou Buqi had already disappeared without a trace, perhaps because he was afraid that he would be exposed sooner or later if he continued to pretend, although this kind of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger was refreshing for a while, but it was still life-threatening.
......
On the shore of the icy lake, in the stripping pavilion......
"Ghost elder, this guy has been in for seven hundred and forty-nine days, won't he have already lost his soul?"
"Anxious!" the ghost gave him a blank look.
After a while, the surface of the lake rippled, as if something was gushing out.
"Hehe, I really didn't misread this son......"
