Chapter 786: The Underworld
"General manager, the border of the underworld has arrived, where do you land?"
There was silence inside the fuselage, and now they had to conserve their strength for the problems they might face next. And just as everyone was resting against the cabin wall with their seat belts on, the voice of a pilot came from the cockpit.
After several days of non-stop day and night flights, it was finally here.
Luckily, their marching tools were machines that didn't get tired, and if the horses were, they would have died of exhaustion, and they wouldn't have been able to get to the underworld so quickly.
"Keep Flying"
After Ye Cheng heard the pilot's shout, he unbuckled his seat belt and turned to look out at the glass window next to him. But as soon as he turned around, the sun shone in through the symmetrical glass window of the cabin wall, illuminating the transport plane as bright as the day, but in an instant the transport plane was darkened, just as the sun sank halfway up the mountain, and the day turned into evening.
Lying on the glass window, Ye Cheng saw clearly what was going on.
Now a large dark cloud appeared in the sky above the transport plane, and it was simply a dark cloud. There was no thunder and lightning on these clouds, and it didn't look like it was about to rain. Moreover, there was no dark cloud not far behind the transport plane, and this dark cloud only appeared when it entered the sky above the border of the underworld.
That's weird.
Ye Cheng looked down and could see wisps of black smoke rising from the ground, like wolf smoke. This black smoke is not very dense, and only a wisp appears a few kilometers away, so Ye Cheng doesn't care, he thinks it's someone burning the fire.
Ye Cheng, who had seen the situation clearly, turned his back to the window, his face sank, and asked, "Do you know where the underworld mentioned by the Emperor of the Xiaohai Kingdom is?" ”
The people on the cabin walls on both sides also slowly turned their backs to the glass windows, sat down and thought solemnly. Many of them hadn't traveled far, so they didn't really know much about the underworld.
On the contrary, there is one person who has heard many descriptions of the underworld, and this person is Beimao.
As one of the twelve generals, Beimao has traveled around the world, so he still has some knowledge of the underworld. But it was because he was clear about the situation in the underworld that Beimao was worried. He looked at Ye Cheng opposite with a solemn face and said, "There is a huge river in the underworld, and that river is called the Styx. There is a tradition of water burial in the underworld, so when someone dies, they put the dead person in a small boat and let the river wash away.
There is a small hole in the boat that enters the water, and then the dead person will sink into the river with the boat.
This tradition continued for decades, but for unknown reasons, the River Styx suddenly dried up fifty-eight years ago. The depleted River Styx is bottomless, like a rift. The underworld is a country that believes in the word hell, and some people began to say that it was because hell could not bear so many dead bodies, so the water of the Styx was withdrawn and the people of the underworld were not allowed to enter hell through the Styx.
The news began to go viral......
The underworld came into existence after the people of the underworld found another way to dispose of the dead. This underworld is very mysterious, day and night, and it is impossible to find an entrance to enter without the guidance of insiders. And after entering and coming out, I don't remember what happened before, and I only have things on my body that I found in the underworld.
So now even if we know the underworld where the elixir is directed, we can't enter it without the guidance of insiders."
Beimao's explanation is already very clear, if you want to enter the underworld to find out the news of the elixir, you must find someone to bring it in.
But where will you go for a while?
It's just that Ye Cheng is not worried about this. Finding someone to bring into the underworld was the way of this world, but the world he knew was not like that. If Gu Zhen could even ignore the people for the sake of the elixir, then Gu Zhen would definitely not take it seriously.
And this worry even urged Ye Cheng to find the underworld quickly.
Ye Cheng raised his head and looked at Bei Mao, who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Brother Bei Mao, where is the underworld?" ”
Beimao said: "The underworld is in the center of the underworld, not far from the capital. We're in the sky right now, so we can see a huge rift in the ground, and that's the underworld."
After hearing it clearly, Ye Cheng quickly turned his head to look at the cockpit on the left hand side and shouted: "Keep flying forward, and then pay attention to whether there is a huge crack on the ground"
"Yes, General Manager"
The three pilots in the cockpit replied at the same time, and the transport plane continued to fly forward.
The transport plane quickly passed under the gloomy sky, dodging the black smoke rising from the ground, and this black smoke was like a black dragon, winding and long.
The black smoke was like the burning flames of war on the battlefield, and it always gave people a sense of unease, and the darkness around the dark cloud cover made this uneasy feeling even stronger.
Ye Cheng leaned on the glass window and looked down. He wanted to see what was under the black smoke? But the transport plane flew a little high, and it was not clear at all. So he turned to look at Bei Mao and asked, "Brother Bei Mao, what is the matter with this black smoke?" How is it everywhere? ”
Asked like this, Bei Mao looked up, and his face became even more solemn. He knew what was going on under the black smoke, and because he knew, he didn't know whether to tell Ye Cheng or not. But after thinking about it a few times, he still explained: "It's all a corpse. The corpses were discarded on the pavement and then doused with black oil and set on fire. Black oil burns very slowly, just drenching a corpse with black oil is enough to burn for a month. During this month, the corpses slowly scorched, and a large amount of black smoke was produced. The reason why the sky is so dark is also because of the burning of black oil."
Bai Yingping, who was on the side, really felt strange when he heard such news, so he asked, "But why do you want to do this?" Wouldn't that be the result of not being able to see the sun all day long? ”
Pemao continued to patiently explain: "The underworld is a country that believes in hell, and they believe that people will be sheltered when they go to hell after death. However, after the River Styx disappeared, the dead could no longer enter Hell through the River Styx, so they came up with a way to make the Kingdom of Hades the same as Hell, so that they could be sheltered again.
Hell is dark all year round, so they burn black oil to make a large amount of black smoke rise into the sky to obscure the sun, and plunge the underworld into darkness."
This explanation made everyone's face suddenly solemn, and a heavy blow quickly swept through the heart.
Ye Cheng was also deeply shocked, he didn't expect that a country would actually make the whole country dark because of his belief in hell. Will the people be happy in such a kingdom? Will it be like the walking dead, or like a ghost?
This will soon become known.
It's just that in the process, Ye Cheng became more and more worried: "What kind of country is this?" ”
