Chapter 482: Introduction
How big is Hades?
No one knows, it's so boundless that no one has ever reached its end.
However, even with such a large area, there are not many areas that are really suitable for habitation, but there are countless dangerous areas, among which the more famous ones are the so-called three mountains, four lakes and five forbidden places.
They are more dangerous than the other, one is more mysterious than the other, no one has ever figured out the details inside, only heard that there are supreme laws and artifacts in them, and constantly drive all the strong people to search for them.
But these people either only went around the periphery once and returned empty-handed, or because they went too deep, they never came out. Because he devoured too many people, he gradually became famous and became a forbidden area.
Since there is a forbidden area, there is naturally a safe zone, like some powerful enough family sects, which can divide the land and live on their own, and then the territory of the four ghost kings is also the largest and safest, in addition to their respective capitals, there are also satellite cities scattered all over the place, some small villages and towns, etc.
These four ghost kings are the ghost king of Yindu, the ghost king of white bones, the ghost king of Nansi, the ghost king of Zao, and the ghost king of Biquan!
“…… Wait a minute! Hearing this, Zhou Qingli suddenly interrupted Zhao Jun's words and asked, "Didn't you say the Four Great Ghost Kings?" You're already five ghost kings! ”
"There are five of the four ghost kings, isn't it common sense?"
Zhao Jun asked rhetorically, but soon, he still explained with a smile: "Originally, there were five ghost kings, but the Biquan ghost king has not heard from him for a long time, and he doesn't govern the territory under his own territory very much, resulting in smaller and smaller territories, and in the end, only the core area is left......"
“…… The other four ghost kings feel that the Biquan ghost king may be dead - some people can't bear the loneliness and feel that they have lived too long, so they commit suicide and die, it is also possible! You must know that although the Biquan Ghost King is not the oldest, he is also seven or eight hundred years old! It's normal to want to leave! …… Anyway, because of this, the five ghost kings have been changed to the four ghost kings! This is known to everyone in Hades, but you are not new to it! I'll include the Biquan Ghost King! Anyway, you can know it! ”
"Okay!" Zhou Qingli nodded.
"Then I'll continue! …… The four ghost kings have five capitals, namely the Yin Capital City, the White Bone City, the Nansi City, the Zao King City and the last Biquan City, all of which are named after their respective names, which are simple and easy to remember! We are relatively close to Nansi City, and there is a tributary of Biquan on the side. As for Biquan City, Yin Capital City, Zao City, and White Bone City, etc., they are all relatively far away, and the road is more dangerous, if you don't have enough strength, it is difficult to get there! ”
"As for some surrounding villages and towns, it's not worth talking about - like ours, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, so I'll take you down and take you around!" Zhao Jun said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Zhou Qingli thanked him.
"Eh, don't be so polite!" Zhao Jun said: "It's been a long time since anyone came from the yang world!" You met me by luck, and I met you by luck! You want to know about the underworld, I want to know about the underworld, this is kind of mutual communication! No one has to thank anyone! ”
These words are very simple, and people can't help but feel good.
However, the situation in the underworld, just listen to Zhao Jun, because what he said is only a rough idea, how it is, in fact, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu have to go in person, and only after watching it can they understand better.
So after briefly talking about the situation in the underworld, Zhao Jun began to get to the point: "I believe that Brother Zhou is also a Taoist disciple with good cultivation, right?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Qingli nodded, there was nothing to hide.
"Then I'm sure you've also discovered that you can't use the Dao Seal in the underworld!"
"Indeed!" Zhou Qingli said: "But if I practice meditation, it is no hindrance, and I am wondering in my heart, is it because of the problem of the environment in the underworld?" ”
"In addition to environmental problems, there is also the fact that you have no physical body!" Zhao Jun said: "I believe you have also discussed, have you also come to such a conclusion?" ”
Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu glanced at each other, the former nodded, he and Song Jianqiu had indeed studied in the cave in this regard, and the result was basically the environment and the reason for losing their physical bodies.
"That's the key!" Zhao Jun glanced at Song Jianqiu and said, "To put it simply, in the underworld, the physical body cannot exist!" Even if there is a physical body, it will gradually be eroded in a place like the underworld, where the yin qi is heavy, and eventually rot into dry bones! ”
"So serious!" Zhou Qingli frowned when he heard this.
"Hmm!" Zhao Jun nodded: "In addition, the underworld is already very dangerous, and the breath of the living is even easier to attract those lonely souls and wild ghosts to attack!" Not to mention the ghost crying clouds that appear from time to time in the underworld! ”
"Ghost crying clouds?" This is a new word, and neither Zhou Qingli nor Song Jianqiu have heard of it.
"It's hard to explain the reason for the formation, anyway, it's a group of powerful ghosts gathered together, and every once in a while, they will float from the sky, like dark clouds, so it's called ghosts crying clouds!"
Zhao Jun explained: "Devil cry clouds are very dangerous, and when they pass by, they will actively attack everyone - especially those who have the breath of a living person! Therefore, it is impossible to survive in the underworld with a physical body. ”
When he said this, his eyes looked at Song Jianqiu, his tone was a little lower, and he said: "Actually, when many people come to the underworld, they come with their physical bodies, especially one of them who has cultivated to a high level, even if they don't use the Dao Seal, the strength is also very strong just by relying on the mana Dao Talisman, but even so, in the end, he compromised, chose to leave the soul, and stored the body in the living tomb!" Song Xiaomei is afraid that it is inevitable that she will be like this! ”
"The living mound?" Song Jianqiu frowned and asked, "Is it specially used to store the flesh?" ”
"Hmm!"
Zhao Jun nodded, and then thought for a while: "In fact, many people who come to the underworld, whether active or passive, are thinking about one day when they can return to the yang world, and to return to the yang world, the physical body is inevitably needed, so they have worked hard to establish a living mound, store their physical body in it, and put down a large array to avoid the decay of the physical body, and then wait for the day when they can return to the yang world, and then come back to retrieve the physical body." ”
Speaking of this topic, the atmosphere in the living room has obviously become a lot more depressing.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and finally Song Jianqiu spoke: "But they still didn't go back in the end, did they?" That living mound, it really became a grave! ”
"Yes! For now, no one will be able to return to the Yang Realm again! After Zhao Jun finished speaking, he quickly laughed again and said: "Of course, it is also possible that I am lonely and unheard, and someone has gone up, I just don't know!" ”
Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu glanced at each other, they had just come down from the yang world, and naturally knew that it was not that Zhao Jun was lonely and unheard, but that the yang world had indeed never heard of anyone coming back from the underworld.
There may have been efforts to do so, but no one has ever succeeded!
In this way, the authenticity of the rumors in the world that Zhou Qingli heard in the yang world may increase again! And the thing that caused the two to come to the underworld this time is probably the ghost of this group of people who want to return to the underworld, right? Even the Buddha can be polluted and become their people, how powerful should this force be behind this?
There is also the endless stream of ghost qi that erupts from the mouth of the yin qi, which is obviously not something that ordinary forces can collect!
In this way, the main envoys behind this, who are the people, almost want to cover up.
However, for this matter, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu only made eye contact and did not say anything, after all, who dares to be sure that Zhao Jun is not the one who wants to go up?
The topic of returning to the yang world seems a little heavy.
Chinese people attach great importance to their hometown, in ancient times, people who wandered abroad, even if they died, they had to die in their hometown, even in modern times, some people also hope that after their death, they can return to their roots, and this so-called root is their hometown.
It's no wonder that some people have always wanted to return to the yang world, even if it was because they were homesick in the early days, but after hundreds of years, this has become an obsession.
The heavy topic was talked about a little, and then it quickly moved on to another, more important topic.
"In the underworld, how should I cultivate?"
This question is what Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu are most concerned about, after all, according to Zhao Jun, this underworld is full of dangers, and the wilderness can't keep people at all, so its own strong strength has become the key to survival here!
"It's easy!" Zhao Jun said: "Actually, as long as you get used to it a little, the Dao Technique Dao Seal and so on that you originally learned in the Yang Realm can actually still be used!" But it's more troublesome to explain, so I'll go and get the book, and you can read it yourself! ”
After saying that, he got up and left the living room, entered the back room, and after a while, he came out with a book.
Zhao Jun handed the book to Zhou Qingli and said, "You practice according to the methods in this book, and when the time comes, you will soon become like me." When the time comes, not only will you be able to regain your sense of taste and pain as a person who truly has a physical body, but you will also be able to continue to use the Dao techniques you have learned! ”
"Thank you, Brother Zhao!" Zhou Qingli took the book, and he couldn't wait to open it, but he still held back his thoughts, thanked him first, and then said, "This book must be very precious, right?" ”
"You're wrong!" When Zhao Jun heard this, he laughed: "This book is not precious at all!" Actually, it's just the most rudimentary, you see, it doesn't even have a title! Here, it is generally taught to toddlers who are just sensible at the age of four or five! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu looked at each other, and seeing the stunned expressions of the two, Zhao Jun laughed.
"Husband, what's so funny?" was laughing, a voice suddenly came from outside the house, and then, Zhao Jun's wife Xie Minhui walked in with a plate of dishes.
"I'm showing Brother Zhou our son's childhood book!" Zhao Jun laughed.
"I see!" Hearing this, Xie Minhui also chuckled, and after putting the dishes on the table, she opened her mouth and said to Zhou Qingli: "Little Brother Zhou, don't be surprised! ”
"No, no, no!" Zhou Qingli was embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly said.
"Actually, it's not that the husband is joking, but people who have just arrived in the underworld have all started practicing from this book!"
Xie Minhui said: "Those of us in the wilderness can only practice this kind of book that can be seen everywhere, and the real secret book is only available in those sect families!" If you two brothers and sisters are interested, maybe you can try to join these sect families, as long as you have outstanding talents, you will naturally be able to cultivate more advanced soul books! ”
"What sect family? It's too much trouble to join them! Zhao Jun said loudly: "It's always a bit of a rule, or like me, I am free and easy, I can go out hunting if I have nothing to do, and I can live!" ”
"You're just not pursuing!" Xie Minhui scolded with a smile: "And you are more than two hundred years old!" How can you compare with the little brother and the little sister? ”
"More than two hundred years old?!"
Hearing this age, Zhou Qingli was a little stunned, but when Song Jianqiu heard what he said before, he had already expected that although the Zhao couple was only in their thirties on the surface, their real age was estimated to be far exceeded, after all, this is an eternal world! As long as you don't want to die, or you have an accident, you can keep living until you get tired of living!
"Brother Zhou doesn't think I'm only in my thirties, right?" Zhao Jun smiled: "I said it before! As long as there are no accidents, people here generally live a long life! And because it's not a physical body, but a soul body, its appearance won't change until death! ”
"Of course! There are also ways to change, but people like us in the wild naturally can't learn it! ”
"However, although the years have increased, correspondingly, the growth has also slowed down!" Zhao Jun shook his head and said: "Like that kid in my family, from the perspective of the yang world, he is only six or seven years old, but in fact it has been nearly eighteen years!" It's been like water! ”
"That's it! Don't sigh! Xie Minhui smiled: "I've already cooked the meal, everyone hates eating!" After speaking, he said to Song Jianqiu: "Little sister still has a physical body, I'm afraid I can't eat what we have here, I'll give you some Biquan wine to drink, it will also be good for you to leave your soul in the future!" ”
After speaking, she went out, and Zhao Jun began to set the table and invited Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu to take a seat.
However, Song Jianqiu is now weak, sitting on a chair with a backrest, if she sits on a stool, it is estimated that she will not last long, so she politely refused, and sat on the chair, but as Xie Minhui said, she has not yet left her body, she can't eat the food here, so she simply won't go up.
As Xie Minhui went back and forth, a plate of dishes was served.
Although Zhou Qingli can't smell or taste the smell now, just looking at this plate of dishes, he feels that it must be very delicious!
In fact, before serving the food, Zhou Qingli and Song Jianqiu had imagined what the food in this world would look like, after all, they were already soul bodies, and they wouldn't be hungry if they didn't eat, so what would the food look like?
It wasn't until Xie Minhui brought the dish that the two found that although the ingredients here were a little strange, they did not deviate from the boundaries that people could imagine.
For example, there are fish, meat, vegetables, and so on.
It's just that this fish is served whole, but it is swimming in the soup pot alive, and it feels like it is going to be eaten raw? However, the meat is not served as a whole animal like a live fish, but is also sliced, and then I don't know if it is cooked, only dotted with some flowers and leaves, etc.
These two dishes are full of color, flavor and flavor, especially the fish, which couldn't be fresher than fresh! There is nothing to say about only vegetables, just a stack of leaves of unknown plants. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
