Chapter 322: First Arrival in the Ghost Domain
I don't know much about the vastness of the ghost realm, and maybe the controllers of this world are difficult to come up with. However, some ancient and powerful cultivators have said that the ghost realm is different from the human world, and it is not in any territory known to mankind, perhaps hidden between heaven and earth, or... It was another unknown place.
It is rumored that there is a river Styx in the ghost domain, and there is a majestic palace at the source of the river Styx, where the king of Hades lives, who is the supreme controller of the ghost domain. And as the River Styx descends, there are many institutions such as the Ghost King Palace, the Hades Palace, the Shura Mansion, and even the ethereal Jizo Shrine at the end of the journey.
The River Styx runs through almost the entire ghost realm, and after death, the soul will come here and drift with the tide in the River Styx, possibly reincarnating, possibly perishing, or even ...... Transmigration!
There is no sun, no moon, no stars, but it is also not as dark as imagined, because there is light in the river Styx, and the blood is like the light of fire. When there is a sound like a bubble bursting, or like a wave, then the light is even more powerful and can illuminate a long distance.
There was no water in the Styx, only dark red smoke, and countless souls were biting, struggling, and screaming in this smoke. When some of the spirits struggled powerlessly, when the screaming came to an abrupt end, the light of the River Styx became brighter.
It is the death of these souls that can bring a moment of light to the River Styx.
The death of one soul is like the light of fireflies, insignificant, but the death of thousands of souls at the same time is like a firework blooming, very bright.
At this time, on a cliff at the end of the River Styx, a sneaky figure was lying behind a boulder, looking at the scenery from afar with a blank face. His eyes widened, and his face continued to change with the light of the River Styx, the light of the River Styx was dimmed, but when he was strong, he opened his mouth wide, like a child watching fireworks for the first time, dancing excitedly, and exclaiming.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
"Is this the Ghost Domain?"
"Fireworks... What beautiful fireworks!"
"Smoke... What a beautiful smoke!"
The scenery in front of him was thrillingly beautiful, and Tang Yan fell into a momentary loss of consciousness several times in a row, and the ghost realm in his imagination was so far away from what he saw in front of him that he would be so out of shape after witnessing it with his own eyes.
He always thought that the ghost domain was like hell, without rivers of blood, corpses and bones like mountains, and evil ghosts walking in the night, but it must be very terrifying, and he was even ready to be scared to pee.
However, when I really came here, I found that the ghost domain is not terrifying, it's just that it's quite beautiful and romantic... The Styx is surrounded by red smoke, like a red light district somewhere in the world, and the atmosphere is very sultry. There are also fireworks that bloom occasionally, which is really beautiful!
At this time, there is a lack of beautiful people to accompany you......
Helplessly, after a teleportation that he had never experienced before, Tang Yan lost Meng Zhen in a daze, of course, it may be that Meng Zhen lost Tang Yan, so when Tang Yan teleported here, he had to find a relatively secret place to hide, and then look at the direction of the River Styx from a distance.
Tang Yan didn't dare to move, because he came to this unfamiliar place, and it was rumored that the most terrifying place in the world had to be cautious, even if the fireworks in front of him were beautiful, but who knew how many dangers were hidden under the fireworks?
This is the base camp of the fierce ghosts!
And Meng Zhen doesn't know where to go, there is no more effective way than to stay here.
Therefore, Tang Yan had to wait, waiting for Meng Zhen to find him.
However, the sad thing is that this kind of wait is far away, although I don't know how long it has been, but there is not much food left for Tang Yan to carry from the world.
On this day, or maybe this night, when Tang Yan stuffed the only remaining half of the fried chicken leg into his mouth and devoured it, he finally decided to leave this place.
This time the preparation was sufficient, and the food brought in from the world was enough to eat for at least half a month, but now it is gone, no matter how Tang Yan saves money to eat, it is gone! From this, it can be thought that Tang Yan has been waiting here for more than half a month.
If he hadn't been expecting Meng Zhen to find himself, Tang Yan would definitely not have waited so long.
The fireworks are beautiful, and he has aesthetic fatigue.
And through these days, Tang Yan didn't find nothing, he found that every once in a while, three or two figures would appear near the River Styx, and because they were too far away, they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they could only see their movements. They hold fishing-like utensils and tend to observe them for a while before throwing them into the River Styx.
"These people are fishing..."
"The fish of the River Styx... Can you eat it?"
Although Tang Yan is not very hungry now, he must also take precautions! Seeing these people like this, after some entanglement, Tang Yan also decided to do so, after all, he knows too little about the ghost domain, and it takes a lot of time to understand, and the most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of food and clothing.
I don't know how long it has been, Tang Yan finally came to a deep mountain not far from the River Styx and hid, he didn't act rashly, because he wasn't sure if those fishing figures were people, and he wasn't sure if there were people in the ghost domain.
If there is someone in the ghost domain, if there is no one, then... That's a long-term perspective!
Although he had never personally experienced the pain and helplessness of sheep entering the wolf pack, Tang Yan could still think that the current situation was extremely similar to that of raising a wolf pack, the unknown creatures in the ghost domain were wolves, and he was a sheep...... So be frightened step by step, be very hearty, be cautious and cautious!
He wants to see that those figures are human, that there are fish in the River Styx, and that even that the fish in the River Styx can be eaten... This is where the next step begins.
Tang Yan's choice of hidden place is also very particular, this is a cliff-like area, and the towering ancient trees are extremely dense, through these observations, he found that the fireworks here are more brilliant than other places. The reason why this place was chosen is because in addition to the ease of hiding, the more important thing is that those figures are fishing in this area.
didn't have time to study the types of trees in the Ghost Domain, Tang Yan looked around, quickly climbed a towering tree, found a branch that was relatively comfortable to sit on, and began to fall into a long wait again...
But the strange thing is that this place seems to be different, Tang Yan can always hear some subtle cries, these cries are indescribable, like the dying roar of a big man, like a widow humming in the middle of the night, and like a child crying... In short, it was messy, and Tang Yan was upset when he heard it.
Gradually, he discovered that these voices were coming from the River Styx, which made him wonder even more, but because of his caution, he did not dare to act rashly. After making sure that these cries were called to return, they didn't target themselves much, so they had to give up!
Time passed, maybe a day, maybe two days, and finally two figures appeared again in this area. Tang Yan immediately held his breath and looked at it. It was found that these were two... Something that looks like a human or a non-human!
A male and a female, dressed in strange clothes, huge in size, with a human body and a horse's head, holding a leaky net in their hands, are walking gently along the River Styx. As they walked, Tang Yan found that the disturbing screams were getting louder, and wherever they went, the louder they became.
"Could it be..."
Tang Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
"Hiccup!"
Such a sound came from the mouth of a monster with a human body and a horse's head, this monster suddenly raised the net and dug towards the River Styx, when the net was closed, there was already one more thing in the net, and before Tang Yan could see it clearly, the monster suddenly put its head into the net, and swallowed the thing in the net with one mouth.
"Uh... What are you doing! What is this horse-headed man doing?" Tang Yan didn't see what was in the net, and couldn't help but feel full of questions.
"Hiccup!"
At this time, another horse-headed man also acted, as Fang Cai did, and this horse-headed man also caught something. The difference is that this horse-headed man seems to be more Sven, and instead of sticking his head directly into the net like the previous one, he grabbed the thing in the net and stuffed it into the horse's mouth.
"It's, it's..."
Suddenly, Tang Yan was in a cold sweat, his face changed greatly, he trembled, and he almost fell off the tree.
Because this time he saw clearly that what was in the fishing net was not a fish at all.
But... Person!
