Chapter 366: The Path of Fire
"Ah......" Countless heart-rending howls suddenly sounded in his ears, Mu Shan looked sideways, but it was a dense dense array of ugly trees around him, and at the moment when he was soaked in the blood rain, the trunk branches ignited a surging flame, illuminating the strange scarlet sky of the underworld.
Countless heart-rending voices gathered and echoed in the sky, like a sad lament from the underworld!
Mu Shan took a few steps forward and carefully inspected the trees, only to see that on the trunks and branches, the dense human faces were twisted and roared, enduring the pain of burning in the blood rain: "Those are ...... Person? No, it's supposed to be ghosts! ”
"Well, they are all evil ghosts who used to do evil in the world, and they were sentenced by Emperor Xudu to come here to endure the pain of burning their bodies in flames for thousands of years." Ye Rou couldn't bear to continue watching, and said, "Even if there is a great sin, such a punishment is too cruel!" ”
Looking at the cheeks that were so painful that they were close to madness, Mu Shan also couldn't bear to say, "...... When will this rain end? ”
"Until those ravens fly back." Ye Rou followed behind Mu Shan and continued to walk forward, saying, "The ghost crow is the execution messenger under the command of Emperor Xudu, and at this time, it should fly to the side of the broken intestine stone to peck at the stomach of another group of punished ghosts. In the past, when I was in the underworld, the ghost crow forest was only in the depths of the underworld, but now how can I even see it on Huangquan Road, I don't know what happened in the underworld? I wonder what happened to her? ”
"She? Who is she? ”
"She's the same as me, she's also a demon clan, but she's a demon clan with great magical powers. The reason why I have spiritual wisdom is also due to her, and according to the world, she should be my mother. ”
"Oh, demons?" Mu Shan was puzzled and said, "Wait, isn't the underworld only accessible to the revenant?" ”
"Aren't you and I standing on Huangquan Road now?"
"This ......, too." Mu Shan smiled wryly, and then looked at the large petals that appeared in front of him, those flowers were like flames, like blood, with a strange and cold charm, blooming on the Huangquan Road, dyeing the ground into a carpet like a blood painting: "That's ...... You! ”
"Hmmm! This is the path of fire in the underworld. They are still the same, open in a muddy way, no consciousness, no ......feeling" Ye Rou slowly squatted down, stretched out her slender little white hand, gently stroked the bewitching flowers, as if caught in a memory, and whispered: "But like them, it may not be a good thing, at least there is no attachment and desire that cannot be wanted, and there will be no sadness and liver and intestine ...... that cannot be let go."
"Nai He ......" Mu Shan looked at the ancient arch bridge on the other side of the bank under the spread of flowers, connected to the other side, the two strong vicissitudes of life on it, after countless years of baptism, are still as clear as yesterday, coldly reflected in the blood-yellow river under the bridge: "This is the Nai He Bridge and the Lechuan River of the underworld?" ”
"Well, there used to be an old woman on the opposite side of the bridge who specially drank Meng Po soup for the ghosts who went to reincarnation, but I don't know where she has gone now?"
When I got closer, I saw a huge stone standing next to the bridge, on which were carved with four bright red characters: Early landing on the other side!
“…… Three-life stone. After pausing in front of the Sansheng Stone for a while, Mu Shan hesitantly stretched out his hand and said curiously: "Legend has it that this stone can remind people of the past of Sansheng, I don't know if it's true?" I don't know what kind of person I was in my first two lives, and what kind of experience I had? ”
"What does Mu Gongzi want to do?" Ye Rou hurriedly stopped Mu Shan and said: "The memories of three lives are complicated and long, if you are not a person whose heart is as solid as a rock, you can't touch it, otherwise you will definitely be lost in the past three lives, and you will never return to reality." ”
"It's just curiosity." Mu Shan withdrew his hand embarrassedly and said, "Let's go, go directly to the ghost king's lair." ”
Stepping on the Nai He Bridge, I saw the Lechuan River under the bridge, the blood-yellow river water kept surging, as if it had been boiling, and sometimes a huge water wave was puffed up, condensed into a vivid human face, full of anticipation shouting, the mouth that was closed, but it was pitiful that it couldn't make a sound.
"These are all lonely souls and wild ghosts who can't be reincarnated, or don't want to drink Meng Po soup to be reincarnated, and I don't know when they will be liberated?"
Mu Shan looked around, withdrew his gaze from the Lechuan River, the Sansheng Stone, and the flowers on the other side, and landed on Ye Rou behind him, and said: "If the demon clan wants to be able to transform into a human form, it must continue to absorb the aura of heaven, earth, sun and moon and cultivate. ”
"When I left the underworld, I had not yet been able to take on human form, and it was the king who took me away."
"King? Ghost King? Mu Shan seemed to have expected it, and said coldly: "So, are you doing something for the Ghost King?" ”
"No, it's not the Ghost King, it's the Overlord of Western Chu!" Ye Rou seemed to be caught in the memory, her tone was slow and soft, and she said eloquently: "I was waiting for her to come and chat with me to relieve my boredom, but she didn't come after waiting for a long time, but a man on a tall horse came here." He was a little surprised by the vitality I had, and he uprooted me from the Yellow Springs Road. At that time, I was so frightened that I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect him to temporarily protect me with a majestic ghostly aura so that I would not wither, and then took me out of the underworld, saying that he wanted to give me to his beloved Yu Ji. ”
"After leaving the underworld, he planted me on the mountain outside Chenliu City, that was the first time I saw what the world was like, the first time I received the sun, the first time I received the moisture of rain and dew, the first time I was able to absorb the aura of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, at that time, I thought I had reached the legendary fairy world......"
"At first, Wang Du occasionally came to see me, but after that, he never appeared again, and I gradually got used to the life of the world, and gradually cultivated into a demon body, able to wander and play in the world without restraint. Until ......"
Speaking of this, Ye Rou paused for a long time, as if she thought of some past events that she didn't want to recall, and after a while, under Mu Shan's gaze, she had to continue: "Until I met my sister!" ”
"Your sister?" At first, Mu Shan thought that what Ye Rou said before was all nonsense, but when he heard her sincere and sincere tone, he asked in disbelief: "Did she really die at the hands of the Ghost King?" ”
"Well, my sister wants the Ghost King Bead, but she is not the opponent of the Ghost King, so she wants to borrow the power of Wuyanzi and them. Originally, everything went smoothly, but in the end, it was discovered by your junior brother Xu Shu, and he used my sister to test the power of the Ghost King Bead, but my sister was seriously injured the moment she touched the Ghost King Bead, and it didn't take long after she came back to be ...... Hit back to the original form......"
