Chapter 47: Soul Hunting in the Underworld
Jupiter and Huqi followed Ye Xiaoling's pace, and the three of them hurried in the sky of the Liuying River, without stopping for a moment.
The endless river is sparsely covered with small boats. Each boat carries two people. A rower and a passenger.
The rower is the shadow, and the passenger is the soul of the deceased. After the mortal people have reached the end of their yang life, they will be taken to the underworld by the yin messenger to report for duty. The Shadow River is the way they have to go.
The turbulent river under the boat is like a projection screen, and black and white images float quickly past. The illusion of the reflection is the passenger in the ship.
Due to Ye Xiaoling's fast flying speed, these ships were instantly left behind by them.
"Hummy, why can't I see my own reflection?" Looking at the dark river, Ye Xiaoling couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because you are still alive, only those who have reached the end of their lives will be reflected on the surface of the river. These shadows are the experiences of life, from birth to growth, to the last moment of life. Everyone will look back on their life in the last voyage of their lives, hence the name of the Shadow River. Hunki explained.
I see!
Ye Xiaoling came to the underworld for the first time and didn't know anything about the underworld.
White lotus flowers float on the dark surface of the river. A candle is lit in each lotus flower. The bright candle flame became the only light in this eerie world, which was still weird.
The candle flame is like a lantern on the surface of the dark and cold river, illuminating the direction of the ferry.
"What are these?" Ye Xiaoling asked. Anyway, they are all rookies, don't ask for nothing.
"Lotus candle, the thoughts of the living for the departed. It must be a heartfelt thought for the lotus candle to appear. Every lotus candle is a person's thoughts. The stronger the thoughts, the brighter the lights of the lotus candles; The more people you miss, the more lotus candles will be. With the lotus candle, the ferry will not get lost. Hukie continued to explain.
Yin Cha in a ferryboat greeted Jupiter, Ye Xiaoling, and Hanqi happily after seeing them: "Lord Dominator, Lady Dominator, welcome to the underworld!" ”
This yin difference is none other than the horn of a cow who has met Ye Xiaoling a few times.
"It's not a tourist!" The corners of Ye Xiaoling's mouth stiffened, and he was very displeased. I'll it! Who is full of food and has nothing to hold on, and will come to a ghost place like the underworld for sightseeing? It's sick!
Jupiter's face couldn't have been darker. Lan Junxia died so miserably, he was sad enough, he came to pick up Lan Junxia home this time, how could he bother to travel? So he glared at the horns.
The horns shivered, and the soul was about to freeze!
"Idiot! Woe to the mouth, right? Aman's stupid subordinates taught by that stupid guy! Hahaha! Humkey gloated and made fun of the horns.
was teased by the hump, and the horns lowered their heads in frustration, not even daring to let out a fart. Without him, even his captain Aman's position is not as high as that of the Hum Qi, do you say that the horns of the camel who have always seen the wind dare to confront the Hum Qi?
Jupiter felt that Hummy's complaint was quite boring, and all he thought about was the poor little man, and he accelerated his flight speed again.
Death, that is, the god of the underworld. Not all Grim Reaper is a shadow. Yin cha is just one of the duties of the god of death, which is responsible for taking the souls of those who have reached the end of their life from the mortal world. And the man who led the way is not a bad guy, he is a special envoy.
The realm of the Grim Reaper is the same as that of other gods. In the underworld, the realm of all the gods of death is at or above the realm of gods and men. But the Grim Reaper has one biggest difference from the gods of other gods, that is, their gods only have souls, not flesh and blood.
The aura of heaven and earth in the underworld inhibits the existence of flesh and blood. Only soul states can remain in this interface.
Although the Grim Reaper does not have flesh and blood, it does not mean that they cannot be condensed. It's just that the flesh and blood they condensed are more fragile than ordinary humans. Moreover, they don't need flesh and blood at all.
In contrast to other interfaces, including the mortal world, the aura of heaven and earth will suppress the existence of souls without flesh and blood. The more advanced the interface, the more repulsive it becomes.
Generally speaking, if the yin error appears at the right time and takes the soul of the mortal world away, it will return to the underworld as soon as possible to resume its life, and will not stay in the mortal world. Brief appearances will not have an effect.
If the Reaper needs to stay in another interface for a long time, they will need to condense a flesh and blood body or attach themselves to a righteous corpse.
The so-called righteous corpse is a fake shell made of special materials, exactly like the appearance of the person, and used to replace the flesh and blood.
Only the god of death who has reached the realm of the eighth order of heavenly gods and above, the flesh and blood body condensed by himself can resist the repulsive effect of other interfaces. Therefore, the righteous remains are usually used by the god of death below the realm of the eighth order of heavenly gods.
And Han Qi is an eighth-order celestial god, so he can travel back and forth between the underworld and the mortal world with ease.
There is another characteristic of the heaven and earth aura in the underworld, only the god of death can absorb the heaven and earth aura here, and people in other interfaces will not only not be able to absorb the heaven and earth aura here, but will also be suppressed by the heaven and earth aura here. If you enter the underworld with your flesh and blood body, your flesh and blood body will be refined and disappeared by the heaven and earth aura here.
Even if a god-level monk can constantly recondense his flesh and blood, but he can't absorb the aura of heaven and earth, he will be doomed. Therefore, the gods of other interfaces, in general, do not enter the underworld.
Ye Xiaoling and Jupiter are not affected by the aura of heaven and earth here. Not only can they bring flesh and blood into it, but they can also refine the heaven and earth aura here to replenish their own consumption.
There are two reasons for this:
For one, they are the heirs of the master of the world, possessing the power of the Origin, and being recognized by this interface.
Second, the glacier of the Ice River God Realm and the Flowing Shadow River of the Underworld are originally connected in the same vein, and they are both gods raised by the same water and soil. Moreover, the underworld is controlled by the Ice God Realm, so anyone who is an Ice River God, or who holds a cold jade fragment, can freely enter and exit the Underworld without being affected.
I don't know how long I flew on the surface of the Liuying River, Ye Xiaoling saw a pier and arrived at the shore.
Many boats are moored at the pier, which are lined up in an endless line along the wide riverbank. There are large ferries that can carry more than 2,000 passengers, and there are also many small wooden boats that can only carry two people. These ships are all used to pick up people who have reached the end of their lives. In the event of an emergency in which a large number of people lose their lives in a short period of time, a large ferry will be dispatched.
Not far from the marina is the city.
The latest city to emerge is the ancient Chinese architectural style. There are markets, courtyards and palaces, which are very quaint. Behind the ancient city is the new city.
The new city opened Ye Xiaoling's eyes! There are many high-rise buildings and majestic buildings, no different from the bustling cities of the mortal world.
At this time, Hanqi took out a mobile phone and dialed a call: "Hey, dear Xiaoyu!" Tell Dr. Bai that we're almost there! ”
Xiaoyu is Dr. Bai's assistant and close guard.
Seeing Hanqi making a phone call, Ye Xiaoling was dumbfounded again!
The mobile phone in Hampie's hand is an ultra-thin six-inch screen, an underworld signal, and the brand is a dark pass card. Judging from the appearance, it imitates an Apple mobile phone.
No way! That's too traversal, isn't it?
Han Qi smirked and said, "Madame Dominator, do you think that the development of our underworld is still in ancient times?" As gods, we need to keep up with the times! ”
A good sentence to keep pace with the times, Ye Xiaoling nodded, this is also right.
Seeing that the underworld was so prosperous, Ye Xiaoling suddenly felt that the cold Ice God Realm should also keep pace with the times......
According to her perception of the Ice River God Realm, the Ice River God Realm was empty, white, and there was nothing except for a white temple.
There are only three true ice gods, including Jupiter! The other two ice river gods, one is Chi Xia, who guards the holy land of the ancient family, and the other is Yun Lu, who is reborn.
Although Ye Xiaoling and Xiaoxian had cold jade fragments, they had not received the baptism of the glacier true water in the holy land, so they were not glacier gods yet.
After flying for a while, Ye Xiaoling and the others entered the center of the city.
"Little Demon Star, in front of you is Danmei Hospital. Dr. Bai is the attending doctor, are we going straight over? Do you know Doctor Bai's rules......" Han Qi suddenly asked Jupiter's opinion with an embarrassed face, glanced at Ye Xiaoling, and stopped talking.
"Nonsense! Go straight to it, of course! The attending is Dr. Bai, so I don't worry! God knows what he's going to do in the soul of the little man? Hmph, if he dares, I will definitely make him regret coming into this world! Jupiter scolded with a dark face.
Hanqi Khan smiled: "Little Demon Star, don't get excited! Although Doctor Bai is a bit of a strange person, in terms of medical skills, he is the number one doctor in the entire underworld. In the situation of your little man, if Dr. Bai can't save him, no one can save him. ”
Jupiter ignored the Qi, took Ye Xiaoling's hand and flew forward, without the need for the Qiqi to lead the way.
Han Qi glanced at Ye Xiaoling with a strange look, sighed secretly, and mourned for Doctor Bai. Alas, it seems that Dr. Bai is going to be unlucky again......
Ye Xiaoling was surprised for a while, what happened to him? What are the rules of that Doctor Bai? It seems that the rule is not the same, because her little star directly ignores it.
I heard that Lan Junxia was not out of danger yet, and along the way, Ye Xiaoling was very worried, but he had a glimmer of hope. In the rescue, that is to say, there is still the possibility of being saved!
Jupiter soon took Ye Xiaoling to a hospital with a modern building. This scale is ten times larger than that of provincial hospitals.
Without a moment's pause, Jupiter went straight into the operating room and headed in the direction of the operating room.
Ye Xiaoling felt strange, why did Xiaoxing seem to be familiar with this place?
She knew that the frail and sickly Xiao Ye occasionally had to see a doctor in this hospital! Jupiter used to visit patients quietly, and Xiao Yeye didn't even know that his eldest brother had come to see him.
Ye Xiaoling also found that there is a feature of this hospital, that is, so far, she has not seen a woman!
From patients to doctors, assistants, nurses, or other staff members, it's all men.
When the medical staff saw Ye Xiaoling, their faces turned green with fright, and they exclaimed: "Oh my God! It's a woman! ”
Seeing the woman's reaction as if she had seen a monster made Ye Xiaoling super speechless, she asked herself if she looked like a country with infinite charm, and she was not a dinosaur, so it wouldn't cause such a terrifying effect on men, right?
"Huki, haven't these people ever seen a woman? What's going on with this horrified expression? Ye Xiaoling asked sweatily.
