Chapter 312: The Strange Netherworld
Murong Hong stood up and looked forward.
Soon, something appeared in front of him, but at this look, Murong Hong almost screamed in fright.
I saw three black hounds walking towards him step by step.
When he looked closer, he saw that the three hounds had three heads. The hounds in the middle, the three pairs of fierce eyes, all turned together and looked directly at him.
Suddenly, one of the hounds in the middle let out a low howl.
Murong Hong suddenly felt the danger, yes, he felt it, he did feel it!
These three three-headed hounds are definitely not human animals! Ah, I see, this is the legendary Hellhound, right? It is said that the Hellhounds guard the gates of Hell, and they all have three heads to hunt down the souls of those who try to escape!
Oh my God, I'm in hell!
No, let's run!
Thinking of this, Murong Hong turned around and ran into the woods lifelessly.
Behind him, the barking of the three hellhounds was heard, followed by the sound of the hounds' paws quickly slicing across the ground.
Oh no, they're catching up! If I get caught by these hellhounds, I'll be torn to shreds!
Murong Hong ran forward lifelessly, but his current body strictly restricted his running.
Slowly, he couldn't run anymore, but the hounds behind him were getting closer and closer.
It's over, if I continue like this, I'm going to get caught by them. What to do, what to do?
Murong Hong ran desperately, but behind him, the three hellhounds were in hot pursuit.
The hounds were about to catch up, but suddenly, they stopped.
Murong Hong couldn't run anymore, hugging a big tree and panting.
His current body is Murong Xue's, he no longer has his original abilities and kung fu, and he can't become Mu Hongxue anymore, how can he be the opponent of these three hounds when he is unarmed?
But the three hounds sniffed their noses, turned their heads and ran.
Strange, how did they put me down, could it be that my conscience found out?
Murong Hong was very sure that this dog had no conscience, let alone a hellhound? However, they must have smelled something when they left suddenly, right?
He shrunk his nose, and sure enough, a faint aroma came from there. The aroma is fragrant and pleasant.
What kind of aroma is this? Could it be the incense burned in the temple? Or the aroma of the meal?
Murong Hong followed the aroma and walked over, and before he had gone far, a person came to him.
It was a very short man, with a robe and a pair of straw sandals tied to his feet, and he looked like a mountain dweller in the woods. He had something like a torch in his hand, but it wasn't a torch because there was no fire on it. This is a stick of grass tied up with grass, and the fragrance actually comes from that stick.
Murong Hong stopped and watched the man walk to his side.
The man slowly removed the robe from his head, revealing a face.
Seeing this face, Murong Hong gasped.
This man is so ugly, with fish-like eyes, a wrinkled mouth, and uneven teeth inside. Except for those eyes, which were still a little shiny, the rest of the face was black and dull.
The short and ugly man was also stunned for a moment when he saw him.
"Who are you?" He asked, "How did you get chased here by the Hellhounds?" ”
Although the man was ugly, his voice was loud.
"I, I got lost here." Murong Hong said, "I don't know why I ran into those hounds." ”
"You don't look like we're from here, you're from outside, are you?" The ugly man looked at him suspiciously, "You little girl, why did you end up here alone?" ”
"Girl?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, looked down at his body, and then remembered that he had now become a daughter again.
"yes, yes, I don't know how I got here. Oh, it's a mirror, and I was sucked in by a mirror and came here. What kind of place is this? Murong Hong asked.
"The netherworld, also known as the underworld." The man said.
"Netherworld? The underworld? ”
"Yes, this is the zone between the yang world and the underworld." The ugly man nodded, "Because there was a crack between the yang world and the underworld, this place was born. We are the aborigines who live in this area, we are all called the Yin people, you should be the Yang people from the yang world, right? ”
"Yes."
"The mirror you are talking about should be the mirror of time and space."
"Mirror of Time and Space? What is this? Murong Hong asked.
"The mirror of time and space is the barrier between the yang world and our netherworld." The ugly man said, "Every night on the fifteenth night of the lunar calendar, this space-time mirror will be opened once, and only one person can enter at a time. Those who go in are brought to us. You're supposed to be the one who was sucked in, right? ”
"yes, excuse me, how do I get out of here?"
"Well, please come with me." The ugly man looked around and lowered his voice, "It's not convenient to talk here, and if we are discovered by the hellhound and the king's spies, we will all be unlucky." ”
"Your Majesty? What king? ”
The man didn't speak, but turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
Murong Hong didn't dare to ask more, turned his head and looked back.
In the back, there were no more hellhounds, and no one was seen.
This ugly man is very cautious, well, I'll go with him. But who is he? Can I feel safe to follow him?
The suspicious Murong Hong still has an extra heart.
Now he is attached to the stunning beauty Murong Xue, such a beautiful and sexy "beauty" can easily become the target of men. This short and ugly man must have bad intentions towards me, and wanted to deliberately take me back to his house so that he could take advantage of me?
Although he was a little suspicious in his heart, Murong Hong still followed the man. At this time, even if he had doubts, he had no other choice.
The man in front of him just left, but he didn't look back, let alone say a word.
Murong Hong frowned, looked around, and found that this dense forest was also very strange. The trees here are not upright and independent of each other, as in the yang world, but the branches above have become rattans, entangled with each other, and the top of the entire forest has been woven into a dense net.
Murong Hong couldn't help but ask, "This big brother, why are the tops of these trees entwined with each other?" ”
"This is the tree of our underworld, not the tree of the sun." The man said without looking back, "This is called a tree wrapped around a vine, you can also say that it is a vine, they are all dependent on each other, and they are indispensable." ”
"Trees and vines? Is this a tree or a vine? Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "There are only vines and trees in the world, where is there a tree wrapped around vines?" ”
"Hehe, the trees and vines here are almost the same, that is, there are vines in the trees, and there are trees in the vines. Just like you men and women in the yang world, they are intertwined with each other, where can you tell who is the tree and who is the vine? ”
"Who is the tree and who is the vine?" Murong Hong was stunned.
He suddenly thought of Murong Xue, yes, it was Murong Xue who took the initiative to "entangle" himself recently, isn't this a tree to entangle the vine?
He looked up again and saw that these things could be called trees and vines. They are so close to each other that they can tell who is who? Where can men and women who love each other in the world know who is me and who is you?
He lowered his head and saw his current body, but he sighed in his heart.
Now me, is it Murong Hong or Murong Xue? Maybe, all of them.
Okay, then I'll take her body and live here well. Even if I can't get out of this place, I have to live well, for her.
You are the other me, I am the other you, we are together, just like one person, never separated.
The ugly man took Murong Hong to a small wooden house deep in the dense forest, the wooden house was a little low, obviously only for this man to enter and exit, Murong Hong would reach this door frame to enter, as long as he stood on tiptoe slightly, he might hit the lintel.
The room was not big, and the ugly man lit a fire in the stove, and the room finally became hot.
"Drink some water." The ugly man boiled a pot of water, took a cup, and handed it to Murong Hong, "This is hot, it can expel the damp and cold in this forest." Our woods are very cold, and if you stay for a long time, you will be invaded by the poison of the cold, and you will suffer from rheumatism and leg disease in the lightest, and even half of the body in the heavy. My water is soaked with the red dragon fruit we have here, which can drive away the cold. ”
"Red dragon fruit?"
"Yes, the wild fruit in a cave on the other side of the woods." The ugly man said, "This fruit is the most suitable for expelling yin qi, not only can it help me survive in this forest, but it can also cure women's yin diseases." ”
"Yin disease? It's a gynecological disease, right? ”
"We call it yin disease here, that is, a disease that only women have." The ugly man nodded.
"What's your name?"
"I don't have a name."
"No name?" Murong Hong was stunned, "There are still people who don't have names?" ”
"I grew up without a name, and I lived in this wood, and people called me the forest hunter." The ugly man grinned.
"Hunter in the woods? This name is really simple, so don't you have the surname Lin? Murong Hong said with a smile, "Four words, surnamed Lin, named 'Middle Hunter', wonderful, wonderful!" ”
"What's your name, little girl?"
"I, my name is Murong Xue." Murong Hong had to say his sister's name, after all, his current body was his sister's, and he didn't lie.
"Oh." The ugly man didn't seem to care about the name, and said, "How did you attract the hellhounds?" ”
"I don't know, aren't they right here?"
"No, they don't live here." "They rarely come here, because it's too cold." The Hellhounds guard our gate to Hell, and they don't usually come here, not to mention that the three Hellhounds come out together. ”
"Really?" Murong Hong was stunned for a moment, "So, they can't be specifically coming at me, right?" ”
"I don't know." "They are the hounds of hell, and they sometimes cross the gates of hell and us, and then they stay there to prevent us from going to hell. ”
"What's there to go to hell?" Murong Hong pursed his lips, "Only those who are dead want to go to hell." ”
"What do you know?" The hunter in the forest said, "We people here have relatives in the yang and the underworld, or people we care about and love. It is difficult to pass through the yang world, but the underworld can be easily entered through that gate. Some people want to go to hell and save their relatives or loved ones from there. ”
"Rescued?" Murong Hong was stunned
