Chapter 55: The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls of the Netherworld
Chapter 54: The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls of the Netherworld
The Netherworld is surrounded by a small clear river, along the banks of the river, there are large fields of flowers, fragrant grass, green trees, the gentle wind blows the evergreen leaves of the four seasons, and even the soil under your feet is exuding a fresh fragrance all the time.
None of the things here are made up of resentment and soul energy, but the master of the Netherworld, Ning Sha, used a high-level immortal method to conjure up all the scenes, which is unique in the entire underworld.
The elegant and magnificent palace stands in a small white mist, looking from afar, the outer layer of the palace is crystal clear, as if the heavy eaves and gold tiles are all wrapped in thick 10,000-year-old ice.
During the day, the hall occasionally sounds melodious music, and the melody resembles a gurgling stream in a silent valley, giving people a sense of tranquility.
There really isn't anything eerie about it here, and you can't hear a half-screaming wolf. Many of the newly deceased are brought here by the Dementors in a trance to think that they have ascended to a fairyland.
It's certainly not a wonderland.
This place will help mankind to cut off all human origins, and it is the place where humanity and the bright world will finally break off.
Behind the elegant palace and fragrant garden, there is a huge tower that rises almost to the sky, and if you stand under it, you really look as small as an ant. The giant tower is surrounded by thousands of fluorescent lights all day long, and a thick and gloomy aura spreads outward from the top of the tower, which is the "soul energy" that Jasmine referred to before.
Whether it is a newly dead soul or a native soul born in the underworld, they must come here to take a wisp of soul energy and put it into the Soul Gathering Lamp, and then cast a spell by the soul master to throw it to the top of the tower.
In the next thousand years, unless the soul is scattered, unless reincarnated, the soul lamp stored in this Ten Thousand Souls Tower will never be extinguished, and the souls of the dead will be trapped in this netherworld forever, and they will never see the light again.
The land of the underworld is inseparable from the nourishment of soul energy, and ordinary dead souls are also indispensable for the supply of soul energy. When Nanshan's carriage passed by the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls, the soul officials were doing spells to attract souls into the lamp, and many dead souls lined up in a long line, looking depressed and complaining, and those with smiles on their faces and babies in their arms were mostly new men and women in the family, and they were overjoyed.
Nanshan rested his chin on the edge of the car window, but he didn't want to enjoy the strange scene outside, so he could only rub his shriveled stomach and sigh sadly.
In fact, before getting in the car just now, she thought about whether she should go back to the post house to ask Dong Li, the senior brother has always been well-informed, maybe he can really give them any clues.
But after thinking about it again, before Dong Li put down a cruel sentence and turned her head and left, it didn't look like she was going to give up, maybe she just entered the post house with her front foot, and Dong Li would throw her into Qingyue's alchemy furnace with her back foot, and refine it "well......
It's better to be hungry and tired than to become black and ugly pills in the alchemy furnace.
Nanshan beat his spirit and decided to be more proactive in his attitude, and hugged Jasmine fiercely...... Beautiful legs, no matter what, there is still the Hades behind them, and the senior brother will still have some scruples when he thinks about it.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Jasmine opened her eyes, the tiredness on her face swept away.
A few people got off the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, Tiankui waved his hand to collect the spell, and walked into the quiet little garden with Jasmine and Nanshan.
There was an endless stream of undead souls who came to report to the Netherworld Division every day, and Tiankui certainly didn't want to be crowded with those ordinary ghosts, so he led them to the side door, where only two underworld guards stood guarding the door.
All the guards in the underworld are under the management of the Hades Palace, but in fact, the Hades Palace also inherited Zhaotai's laziness and did not restrain these underworld guards, so the underworld guards formed their own teams, generally patrolling the streets, standing guard in some important places or something, and if they really encountered any special situations, most of them were dealt with improvised, and no one would jump out to accuse and investigate afterwards.
The dark guard by the side door saw that Tiankui had come in person, and he was obviously very accustomed to it, so he invited the three of them into the door with a simple salute.
Walking into the apse of the Netherworld, Tiankui cleared his throat and shouted without hesitation: "Ningsha! Come out! Where are you hiding and lazy......"
As he spoke, he looked up at the high hanging beams, and circled around the white jade pillars on both sides a few times, and his face quickly showed impatience.
After a while, a figure really fell from the hanging beam and said lazily: "I finally slept for a while, and you came to bother me again." β
Ning Sha opened a pair of godless eyes and stood barefoot in front of Tiankui, yawning and scratching his head. His hair was clumped up and drooped down to cover half of his face, and his clothes were loosely dressed, making one wonder if the fairyland-like garden outside was out of his taste.
"Do you bother me less?" Tiankui's face couldn't be darker, and he frowned and said, "Quickly find a place where you can talk well, I have something I want to talk to you about." β
"Why can't you talk well here?" Ning Sha was a little puzzled, and just wanted to debate with Tian Kui, when suddenly, a judge in a snow-white robe fell from the sky and knelt in front of Ning Sha with a bang.
The Inquisitor wailed, "My lord! Finally found you! The front hall is too busy...... The sins of this group of dead souls before death are so innumerable that the three brothers can't finish reading the book of judgment in turn, and two of them have already fallen! β
Tiankui tried his best to hold back a smile, with a suddenly realized expression - no wonder he chose to take a nap on the high and cool hanging beam, such a comparison, his occasional night shift in the patrol department is simply the supreme enjoyment.
The corners of Ning Sha's mouth twitched, almost reaching the back of his ear, and he quickly grabbed Tiankui's collar and ran quickly outside the hall.
After a long time, the inquisitor erupted into a hysterical cry: "My lordβI want to resign!" β
In the bridge hole of a small stone bridge in the garden, Ning Sha and Tian Kui and the other three squatted together very crampedly, wiping the sweat on their faces, and Ning Sha asked: "Say, it's quiet here, they can't find it here." β
"Ahem," Tiankui moved his body to the side again, not wanting to get too close to the two girls, so he made a long story short: "There are resentful spirits in the big city, and they have cultivation that even Jasmine can't compete with, and there is more than one ......"
Tiankui's narration and Jasmine's addition from it, Ning Sha's expression rarely became very serious.
Ning Sha looked at Nanshan, originally going to tease her for a few words, praising her adaptability and social skills, and wanted to ask her how she could get along with the two most difficult people in the Patrol Division in just one day.
But now that he was obviously not in such a mood, Ning Sha asked, "Why would you judge that it was the power of the dark system?" β
Seeing that the problem was thrown to her side again, Nanshan sighed and said: "I really don't know, maybe, maybe I heard the senior brother mention it before, or maybe it's ......"
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and Nanshan's eyes widened and he exclaimed excitedly, "I remembered!" When I was in the Demon Realm before, the orcs over there seemed to be bewitched by this dark power......"
In fact, in the second half of the trip to the Valley of the Beast King, Nanshan was in a coma, and she couldn't say why, but in order not to let Tiankui and them have any more doubts, she had to make up a seemingly reasonable statement - it was in that operation that she also encountered the attack of the same dark formation, and her jade sword was very sensitive to this kind of dark power, and when she encountered it again, she was naturally able to react quickly, and because it was too long, the situation was critical just now, so she couldn't connect the two things together.
Anyway, the people of the underworld don't know when she went to the demon world, and they won't know the fact that it's not too long.
Sure enough, Jasmine no longer looked puzzled, and turned to Ning Sha and asked, "Do you know, my lord, what kind of power this dark system is?" β
Ning Sha was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Tiankui, he also looked at him, and stammered: "This ...... A ...... from the Divine Realm Doesn't the little fairy know? β
Nanshan hurriedly shook his head and said sincerely: "I just knew such a name, and Senior Brother didn't tell me the details." β
"Oh, that's a long story." Ning Sha shook his head, pretending to be unfathomable.
"Are your words too short?" Tiankui slapped him heavily on the shoulder, and his black face sank.
"Okay, okay, cough...... I think about where to start," Ning Sha saw that Jasmine and Nanshan both had straight faces, showing an expression of great interest, so he had to rub his shoulder, which was patted by Tiankui, and said helplessly: "Actually, it has been a long, long time since I left the God Realm, and my immortal age is only more than 30,000 years old, there are some things...... It's not exhaustive. β
