Walking through the vaulted gates, which are several meters high, Taucchi finally enters the heart and mystery of the underworld. Romance debutant?? Huo Ranwen??

Without the pyramidal structure of the eight Hades halls and the classical architectural style, the central tower is a cone-like building, with low floors but a parabolic roundness. It has a door in each of the eight directions, facing the eight halls of Hades, which always makes people feel that there seems to be some kind of mystical connection between the central tower and the eight halls of Hades, as if they are actually a whole.

As soon as Tao Qi entered, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, a long corridor with no end in sight was spacious and bright, with a towering arc-shaped vault, and Tao Qi's height of about one meter seven in front of this vault was like a small ant. As he walked along the seemingly endless corridor, which had no forks in the road, it was as straight as Route 66 in the western United States. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of people who come to the central tower every day to be reincarnated, as far as Tao Qi himself has seen, there are several new souls who have entered this tower before him, but since entering this corridor, Tao Qi has a strange feeling of being distorted. After thinking about it carefully, he was shocked to realize that it was not only inappropriate, but it was simply extremely abnormal, because after seeing the two people standing guard at the door, Tao Qi had not seen a single person since he walked into the central tower.

The corridor is very long and high, and there is an extremely ugly statue of a demon every ten paces on either side, each statue has a different image, but what is the same is that each demon statue will hold a torch in its hands to illuminate the corridor, and if you don't look closely, you will only think of these demon statues as ordinary lampholders. But Tao Qi was wary at this time. Only to find that these statues are different. Tauchi peered into the depths of the corridor. Seeing that the firelight in front of him seemed to extend to infinity, Tao Qi couldn't help frowning, observing from the outside, the diameter of the conical central tower was not very large, Tao Qi walked so far, in terms of distance, he should have walked out of the central tower from the opposite door a long time ago, could it be that this long corridor did not lead to the opposite door at all?

With a trembling vigilance. Tauchi resisted the urge to turn back again and again, and walked deeper into the corridor. Looking into the distance at the end of the corridor that looked like a black open mouth, intent on devouring a qiē, Tauchi didn't know if it would eventually devour itself or free himself.

What people fear most is not the known horror, but the confused unknown.

Finally, after walking forward for an unknown amount of time, Tauchi reached the end of the corridor.

An unknown rotunda appeared in front of him, and Tauchi could not see the top upwards, only the endless darkness overhead. Walking through the promenade into the rotunda, Tauci saw that the hall was surrounded by statues of demons holding torches. A covered bridge as wide as the promenade extends to a circular platform about two meters in diameter in the center of the hall, surrounded by a bottomless abyss.

Tauchi does not forbid to walk at the beginning of the covered bridge. The abyss was so intimidating that Tauchi seemed to be constantly devouring the faint light of the torches, and it seemed that even the light was too frightened to come out to meet people.

In the middle of the hall, on the circular table at the end of the covered bridge, Tao Qi faintly saw an unknown magic circle flashing with a forest blue light. The shape of the circle seems to be similar to that of the teleportation circle in the computer game, but Tauchi is not sure. Just glanced at it, and the ghostly aura in it came to his face, making Tao Qi feel creepy.

"The central tower of this capital city, it's really a little weird inside!" Tao Qi secretly wondered, but he quickly thought, "Since everyone has to be reincarnated through the Guò Central Tower, presumably this qiē is a matter of course, and there will be no problem." He looked at the dazzling aura above his head, and turned his heart sideways, "I don't have much time left, I can't care about so much, the magic circle on this round platform must be a kind of thing with spatial transfer ability used to reincarnate, is this the reincarnation gate in the mouths of Lao Bai and Lao Hei?" If you step inside, you'll be reincarnated, right? ”

As a man who had already died, Tauchi quickly overcame his fears and stepped forward, crossing the dark abyss, walking along the narrow covered bridge to the round platform, and stepping into the circle with both feet. Without making him wait any longer, Tao Qi only felt a flash of dazzling white light around him, and Tao Qi's shadow disappeared in the circular hall, leaving only a deathly tranquility.

The colorful brilliance gradually faded, and Tao Qi's vision gradually recovered, and a dark world appeared in front of him. Tao Qi looked around, only to see that there were many five-colored balls of light floating around him, and from time to time these balls of light merged with each other. There was no sky or ground, and he felt as if he was floating in mid-air, but the touch of his feet made him feel as if he was still standing on the ground, and for a moment he had no idea where he was.

Just when Tao Qi was puzzled and confused, the light and shadow of an old man appeared in front of him. The old man was dressed in a gray robe, his bald head was shiny, his ruddy face was five strands of long hair, and his beard was white without a trace of discoloration, which made people feel at first glance that this person seemed to be close to old age, and if he carefully distinguished, he seemed to be very young.

The old man held a slender nine-curved staff, and a blood ruby at the tip of the staff was emitting a dazzling light.

Tao Qi felt that he had seen an immortal, and presumably only the old immortal in his mind would be like this.

While Tao Qi looked at the old man, the old man also looked Tao Qi up and down. He didn't speak for a long time, until Tao Qi couldn't help but want to ask something, the old man raised a hand to stop Tao Qi's questioning, and asked in advance, "You are the good man of the eighth world who needs to be reincarnated?" ”

"Well, that's what they said." Tao Qi's brows moved slightly, his face was indifferent, and he said indispensably.

"Hehe," the old man's voice like a night owl filled Tauchi's eardrums, "then take it!" ”

"Bring it? What to bring? Tao Qi looked at the old man calmly and even condescendingly, but his tone seemed very surprised and at a loss, but he was thinking in his heart: "This old man is asking for bribes?" Reincarnation, do I still need to give merit as a gift? ”

In these days in the underworld, Tao Qi found that the living souls and ghosts here had an indescribable greed for merit points. Presumably, this thing called merit can bring them great benefits. It reminds me of the teachings of Lao Bai and Lao Hei before he walked into the central tower. It's no surprise that he had that thought.

It's just that. Reincarnation also requires gifts, which gives him a deeper understanding of the so-called proverb that "Hades is good to see little ghosts".

"Don't you know the rules of reincarnation?" The old man did not answer Tao Qi's words, but asked, "Didn't your usher tell you about the process?" ”

Tao Qi carefully recalled every word that Bai Wuchang Dieyi had said to him these days, including the last advice, and he didn't mention anything he needed to take as a gift when he was reincarnated, nor did he say what he should pay attention to during the reincarnation process.

"Alas! These ghosts are really getting more and more irresponsible. I still need to explain these things! The old man sighed, as if criticizing himself.

Then he slowly explained to Tao Qi: "Rebirth requires an extremely large amount of energy, which comes from your heart, and the essence of merit is the fundamental cultivation of the mind. As a good person of the eighth generation, the merit you have accumulated in the long cycle of reincarnation has reached a huge amount, which is a good thing for you, but it is not necessarily a good thing at all, I wonder if you are willing to listen to me continue to ramble? ”

After listening to the old man's words, Tao Qi seemed to have a lot of doubts, but he had new doubts. Before he came in. Bai Impermanence's advice made Tao Qi already have a prejudice in his heart. That is, it is possible to be blackmailed in the central tower, and the first person he saw after he came in was the strange old man in front of him, and the old man's first sentence was "take it", in his heart he subconsciously thought that the old man's intention was to blackmail, but his babbling words seemed to have something else in it.

Tao Qi didn't know what the old man's intentions were, so he said in a constant manner: "Okay, since you say so, there must be your old reason, boy, listen to it!" ”

Anyway, if he wants to speak, if you don't listen, I'm afraid he will have to say it, and he has offended this old man in vain, so it is better to let him continue to speak, just to relieve his curiosity about the real use of merit points.

"Hey, hey!" The old man's ugly laughter rang out again, "Boy, you're on the road!" Then the old man will explain it to you. The old man said as he sat down slowly, and motioned for Tao Qi to sit down as well. Being in the void, Tao Qi didn't know the essential difference between sitting down and not sitting, but he just followed the old man's instructions.

Seeing Tao Qi sit down obediently, he looked pale and continued slowly, "What do you think the soul is?" ”

"Soul?" Seeing that the old man did not explain, but asked himself first, Tao Qi didn't know what he meant, so he just frowned and stared at the old man, waiting for him to ask and answer.

"The essence of the soul is pure energy!" The old man saw that Tao Qi was not as curious as he expected, so he had to continue to say as if he was drinking, and then he seemed to want to make Tao Qi more impressed, and asked Tao Qi casually, "How did you see and hear after coming to the underworld?" Doesn't it feel very different from what you imagined? ”

"Well, I was blown away!" Tao Qi said with a look of great agreement.

As if motivated by Tao Qi's approving tone, the old man asked again: "In this space of the underworld, a pure energy body like a soul can exist like a physical body, and can be born, old, sick and die. What do you think is the reason for this? ”

"Maybe this underworld is a special place!" Seeing that the old man seemed to be very concerned about the attitude of others, Tao Qi immediately replied with an open face of being taught.

"Hey, hey! Originally, I thought so, and I felt that the difference between the underworld and the yang world was this. But now I know that this is a big mistake. The old man was relieved by Tao Qi's attitude at the moment, looked at him approvingly, and continued with a teachable appearance, "In fact, in the basic structure of space, there is no difference between the yang and the underworld, and the fundamental reason for the realization of the six reincarnations in the end lies in the jump in the energy level, only when your energy really reaches the critical value of the jump, can you feel the difference in this level, so as to achieve this jump." ”

Seeing Tao Qi's idiot look that he didn't understand at all, the old man not only didn't get angry, but felt that Tao Qi was simple and studious, so he continued: "The energy levels of the underworld and the yang world are different, so the soul of the pure energy body can live in the underworld like a living person in the underworld, but in the underworld, it can't stay for a long time in the underworld, and it will soon be teleported to the underworld. ”

Although Tao Qi felt that the old man was very verbose, he knew that his reincarnation would still fall on him, so he had to perfunctory and say to him as if he was humbly learning: "Oh, I see! ”

In fact, the old man told him that these things are useless, and that he will soon be reincarnated as a little Tibetan mastiff, so can he be reincarnated as a dog doctor who has never been reincarnated after sù tells him this scientific knowledge? Will Dr. Dog be recognized in a human-dominated world?

"Every human soul has a lock, and when this lock that seals your soul energy is opened, you will receive your true power from the soul source." The old man suddenly changed his words, and said such a sentence that seemed to be inconsistent with the preface, which made Tao Qi suddenly shocked, and felt that there was something hidden in what he said.

"The reason why you know that you don't have this ability at the moment is because you haven't met the person who gave you the key......" The old man immediately followed this sentence and directly poured Tao Qilei down.

Tao Qi couldn't help but tease in his heart: Old man, have you watched too much of "Journey to the West"? How does this sound like Sister Guanyin's sentence "Because you haven't met the person who gave you three moles." It seems that this old guy really has this kind of confusion ability like a sales organization, otherwise how could he be as verbose as Tang Seng?

The old man didn't know what Tao Qi was thinking, and he still preached to Tao Qi with relish: "Your several reincarnations have accumulated a lot of merit, and merit is the specific accumulation of soul energy. You have a large number of merit points, which means that your soul has an unparalleled amount of energy, which brings you great benefits as well as difficulties. ”

"Difficulty?" Hearing the old man say that merit would bring difficulties to him, Tao Qi's distracted thoughts were pulled back again, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I can make an analogy, it's like a giant sword that is extremely sharp, and in the hands of a warrior it can easily pierce the enemy's armor, but if this sword is held in the hands of a child under the age of three, it is very dangerous, not only can it not hurt the enemy, but it may even hurt itself. Your current situation is basically like this, although you have a lot of merit, but you don't have the means to control this huge amount of energy, which will only make these energies a burden to you, and it will also make many people covet your wealth and raise bad thoughts. The old man saw that Tao Qi was finally moved, and continued to hit Tao Qi's nerves fiercely. Looking at his current appearance, he is very similar to the guy who sells the palm of the god in "Kung Fu".

"Wouldn't I be in danger then?" Tao Qi knew that he must have something to say, so he made a very worried appearance and said.

"Of course, you are now in the most dangerous moment! However, you don't have to worry very much, as the so-called human destiny is destined, you have noble people in your life to help, you can naturally turn evil into good fortune, turn danger into relief, be auspicious in trouble, and be reborn from the fire. The old man shook his head and said.

"More and more like ......" The image of the guy in Tao Qi's mind gradually overlapped with the old man, and he couldn't help but think.
