157, re-enter the underworld
Su Ziyan's sudden words surprised everyone, and they hurriedly looked towards the main gate of Taixu Palace. At some point, the four swordsmen disappeared, and in their place, the palace door was wide open and went straight inside.
The sudden change shocked everyone, but no one dared to act rashly and enter directly, but instead set their eyes on the golden dragon and Chongming.
Seeing this, the two also frowned, vigilant in their hearts, and looked at each other, both of them saw a trace of doubt and worry in each other's eyes.
This is like Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, Sima Yi stood outside the city gate, not daring to advance for half a minute. At this time, the palace gate was wide open, and the scene inside was unobstructed, with a wide open space inside, covered with exotic flowers and plants, and then a closed palace gate inside. As for the interior, it is impossible to know. However, Wu Zhong could vaguely feel that Jiuyao and Wahuang Sword were in the Taixu Palace, and he determined the direction of progress in his heart.
At this time, the golden dragon turned around and looked at everyone. Although after a period of rest, several people were no longer in serious trouble, but Jin Long's pale face still vaguely revealed physical discomfort, which also had to make him cautious about the change in the situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Taixu Palace is open, we don't know anything about the internal situation, and as for whether there is danger, we don't know. However, as far as I can guess, it won't be better than just now. If this Taixu Palace is really Changchunzi's cultivation dojo, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous. The golden dragon looked at everyone and said slowly, "As for going or staying, it's all up to you, and I will never force it." Then, he waited for everyone to decide.
Now that they have come here, everyone naturally does not want to stay at the door of the treasure and is indifferent, and they have chosen to enter the Taixu Palace, and the Golden Dragon and Chongming are even more so. Wu Zhong and Xuan Bai naturally didn't need to choose, and it was their fundamental purpose to go in and find Jiuyao.
The opinions were agreed, and everyone flew up and went straight to the gate of the Taixu Palace.
As soon as I stepped into the hospital, I heard a loud bang, and the red lacquer door closed automatically. Everyone was even more shocked, and it was impossible to go out again.
The people who were already in the courtyard didn't know that at the moment when the gate closed, the four guards with knives appeared again, and they were still majestic at this moment, guarding the gate of Taixu Palace.
In the courtyard, when encountering this situation, everyone's divine consciousness spread out, wanting to find something abnormal. But the formation in the courtyard was so strange that even Wu Zhong's divine sense could not be used, so he had to rely on the naked eye to observe. The results soon became known to everyone. In the face of this situation, everyone who had long been accustomed to the existence of divine consciousness couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in their hearts, if any danger suddenly appeared, I am afraid that they would not be able to react in time. And if you slow down for a moment, the danger may kill everyone.
Seeing this, everyone showed their weapons to defend themselves, Wu Zhong also held the Qiwu spear in his hand, and a green jade bracelet appeared on his wrist, faintly glowing, and the Xuanwu Banner was protected on his chest, even if there was any sudden attack, it would not kill him with one move.
Although everyone was prepared, no one took the first step after stepping into the courtyard, even Jin Long and Chongming had solemn faces, not knowing what to do. Because they rely on the sixth sense of the strong to find that there is danger everywhere, and no one else is allowed to set foot at all.
At this moment, a Taoist named Teng Chong beside Xu Ziyan exclaimed: "These are all first-class medicinal materials!"
When everyone heard his exclamation, they hurriedly looked around, only to see that among the flowers, there was indeed a fairy light looming, and the surrounding area was even more full of aura, nourishing this immortal medicine and the surrounding plants.
"That's the Thousand Sue Vine, the main medicine of the Buddhist Lianhua Dan, and next to it is Qi Yuan Cao, if it is refined properly, it can give birth to the flesh and bones of the dead and the dead; look over there!" Teng Chong exclaimed, as if he had seen a golden mountain, "Soul Rejuvenation Grass, this is the main medicine of the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill!" And the effect of the Nine Turns Soul Rejuvenation Pill, needless to say, is definitely a top-level pill.
After the introduction of one by one, not only Tengchong was excited, but even other people were eager to try, even Jin Long and Chongming, knowing that it was not so simple here, also had the desire to win the fairy grass. And Xuan Bai, who was also interested in refining medicine, if it wasn't for Wu Zhong pulling him, I'm afraid he would have rushed out.
In the end, after discovering one fairy grass after another, Tengchong finally couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and took the first step. At this moment, suddenly the wind blew fiercely, the sky was dark, the scene in front of me changed instantly, all the fairy grass disappeared, the brilliance was gone, the courtyard that was originally like a fairyland became a hell, and not far away was the Yellow Spring surging, and the creatures who fell into the Yellow Spring were struggling in pain and wanted to leave, but they were always hit into the water again by the Yellow Spring at the last moment, constantly wailing.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zhong hurriedly looked at the others, but found that at this time, everyone had long since lost their whereabouts, and Xuan Bai had disappeared, but a large number of souls suddenly appeared around them, guided by ghosts, across the Yellow Spring.
"Let's go!"
Just when Wu Zhong was stunned, an angry roar behind him woke him up, and he hurriedly looked back and saw a yin staring at him. And at this time, he realized that the clothes on his body were no longer the same as they were just now, instead they were replaced by ancient clothes, and the mana in his body had disappeared, as if he had never cultivated at all.
"Don't go yet!" the yin cha roared, followed by a whip on Wu Zhong's body. Wu Zhong suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, making him break out in a cold sweat.
I thought I was dreaming, but the current situation doesn't look like a dream at all. Such a clear sense of pain is not at all something that can be experienced in a dream.
Under the urging of Yin Cha, Wu Zhong staggered forward slowly, and with him a large number of expressionless souls, presumably all souls who had just entered the underworld and were ready to accept the judgment of Yama.
If this is the case, what is his identity now? Who is he? Wu Zhong wondered in his heart.
Soon, everyone was driven by the bad luck to step on the Huangquan ferry. Wu Zhong stood on the boat, and the ferry boat, which could only accommodate a few people, was forced into nearly a hundred souls, but Wu Zhong did not feel crowded when he stood on the boat.
Finally, the ferryman glanced at the spirits on board, shouted a trumpet, and began to move on.
As the ferryboat sails to the shore, the yellow spring water keeps lapping against the edge of the boat, stirring up bursts of waves.
The ferry boat gradually drifted away, and there was also a gust of yin wind blowing above the Yellow Spring, which made Wu Zhong's face hurt, even the soul-attracting lamp hanging on the bow of the boat was swaying from side to side at the moment, cloudy and uncertain.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the water of the Yellow Spring slammed against the hull of the boat, and the waves splashed in all directions. Some souls were frightened in their hearts, and they were even more disgusted by the death breath of Huang Quan, and hurriedly wiped the yellow spring water stained on their bodies. At that moment, a hand as dry as a tree branch suddenly landed on the edge of the boat, and with a roar, it leaped to its feet, grabbing a nearby soul and pushing it into the yellow spring.
The soul that strayed into the Yellow Spring struggled in the river, and the pain was unbearable, but the ferryman did not seem to notice it, and did not stop at all. Wu Zhong looked at it, and saw that the soul had originally maintained its plump state before death, but he saw the loss of flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood on his face were constantly corroded as if they had been subjected to sulfuric acid, and finally roared in pain like other souls in the river. And the one who put on him took his place and stood in his place.
Scapegoat. The first reaction in Wu Zhong's mind was this word. And that person became the scapegoat for the soul of Huangquan.
Coincidentally, the wind kept blowing, and the Yellow Spring slapped the hull of the ship wantonly, and the souls of those who had just died were constantly replaced by the souls of the dead in the Yellow Spring, becoming people who could be reincarnated. And the souls of the dead who fell into the Yellow Spring do not know when they will be able to complete their cultivation and re-enter reincarnation.
Suddenly, the ferryman slammed on the hull of the boat with a penny in his hand, and the increasingly raging yellow spring suddenly subsided, and the souls in the water had to keep roaring towards the ferryboat, but could not get closer.
"It's landed!"
I don't know how long it took, but I finally made it to the shore. The crowd rushed down and went ashore one after another. Wu Zhong followed last, walking slowly. He still didn't know if this was a fantasy or a real hell.
The shore is cloudy, and many souls are slowly moving forward, heading towards the next destination.
Wu Zhong followed at the end, looking at everything in front of him, especially the Hades that were approaching in the distance, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart. If you have to find a way to get out of here, you can't go on like this.
But right now, I have cultivated to nothing, although I still remember everything clearly, but I only have the magic tricks, and it is useless if I don't have mana.
Just as he was thinking and feeling upset, he suddenly heard someone talking.
"Alas, I don't know what the origin of this monk is, he is mysterious, and he faces thousands of lonely souls and wild ghosts alone, and I don't know where he got so much confidence. ”
When Wu Zhong heard this, he immediately sounded the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth in Buddhism, who is known as "I don't go to hell, who will go to hell", "Hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha". If it was really this great god, wouldn't he be thousands of years ago? And the sentence that followed immediately dispelled his thoughts, and even ignited his hope.
"That is, if you really think you are the Bodhisattva of the King of Jizo, how many years has his old man been in hell, and he has not seen it. This monk is good, facing thousands of lonely souls directly, I really don't know how to write the word dead. ”
Wu Zhong followed the voice and looked over, only to see two figures gradually approaching. Wu Zhong took a closer look and was immediately shocked, isn't this the bull head and horse noodles he knew? It's just that the clothes of these two people are not as miserable as when Wu Zhong and them first met, and they seem to be okay. Seeing this, Wu Zhong suddenly felt a sense of emotion, and if he succeeded, he might be able to help him return to the yang world.
"Hey, bull head and horse face!" Seeing the two approaching, Wu Zhong hurriedly whispered, but he had to guard against hearing it in front of him.
The bull head and horse face were sad, thinking about the errand he was about to start, and he was not angry. At this time, the bull head suddenly stopped, and said with a puzzled face: "Brother Ma, it seems that someone called us." ”
Ma Mian looked around, saw no other colleagues, and said, "Did you hear me wrong?"
Seeing this, Wu Zhong hurriedly shouted again: "Two big brothers!"
At this time, the bull head suddenly looked in the direction of Wu Zhong, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and only then did he see that there was a weak soul here, and this voice came from his mouth.
"Dare to wander the spirit! Dare to shout out without permission! Do you know that this is the culpability of the hell of the tongue pulling?"
