The Netherworld, also known as the Ghost Realm, is the world of ghosts. This world is not like the demon world and the demon world, but is in the same space as the human world. Strictly speaking, the ghost world is an independent world with its own laws.

The border area between the human world and the ghost world, except for the legendary ghost gate pass located in the ghost city of Fengdu, is the entrance to the ghost world west of this wilderness.

The world says that the underworld is eerie and terrifying, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere. In fact, the people who have really seen this world, except for the immortals with great magical powers, are the people who have passed away. Therefore, the ghost world only exists in various legends, and few people know its true state.

The well water of the netherworld and the demon world does not interfere with the river water, so Qingyun has not been there. However, he once asked Guang Chengzi, according to him, the netherworld is actually the same as the human world, and there is not much difference between the life of ghosts and mortals, and what the human world is like, the netherworld is what it is.

However, it is not as easy for mortals to enter the netherworld as it is for ghosts to enter the human world. Yin and yang coexist in the human world, alternating day and night, so ghosts do not need to change their form to exist in the human world. But the netherworld is completely cut off from life, and it is the world of yin. Therefore, if an ordinary person wants to enter the netherworld, he must do so in the form of a spirit body.

Du Ruo has not yet cultivated to the level of human immortal, and she can't go out of her body with the Yuan Shen freely, so she can only be helped by Qingyun to pull out the Yuan Shen, and then guide her to find the Huangquan Road leading to the underworld.

This Hexu Mountain is already at the junction of the Netherworld and the Human World, so as long as you keep walking to the west of Hexu Mountain, you can find Huangquan Road smoothly.

However, if ordinary people go all the way to the west, all they see is the vast Gobi and desert. Only spirits and people with great supernatural powers can see different scenes.

On the same day, after Qingyun extracted Du Ruo's primordial spirit, he put it in a transparent crystal bottle. Then he rode the clouds, crossed the Hexu Mountains, and headed all the way to the west.

In this crystal bottle, Du Ruo couldn't see anything, only the sound of the wind whistling in his ears. This was the first time she had been out of her body since she could remember, and she didn't notice anything different except that she felt light and fluttering. Since it was pitch black in front of her, she simply closed her eyes and meditated.

After about half an hour, she felt the wind in her ears gradually weaken.

When I opened my eyes again, there was no boundless darkness in front of me. Du Ruo didn't see it very clearly, and his eyes were a little hazy, but it was obviously different from what he had seen before.

Qingyun seemed to have taken out the crystal bottle containing her primordial spirit, and she clearly felt that she was hanging in the air.

There was a gray patch in front of her, and she couldn't distinguish the outline, except for a vague glimpse of what seemed to be a tall and upright stele in front of her.

Qingyun walked very steadily, so Du Ruo didn't feel bumpy.

The stele was very huge, like an enlarged statue, although Du Ruo couldn't see it clearly, there was a faint sense of awe in his heart.

She could sense that the stele was not simple.

Qingyun's pace finally stopped.

The white light flashed in front of him, and before Du Ruo could react, his feet had already stepped on the ground. Qingyun released her from the crystal bottle.

"After this stone tablet is the netherworld. Qingyun looked at the dense fog behind the stone tablet and said calmly, but there was a thick worry in his eyes.

Du Ruo wasn't curious about the world behind the fog, she had to step on it sooner or later anyway. On the contrary, the ordinary and huge stone monument in front of her aroused her great interest.

"Is this stele the boundary between the netherworld and the human world?"

Qingyun nodded, "This stele has been left here since ancient times, and no one knows who erected it here. ”

Du Ruo couldn't remember how many times she had heard the word "ancient". From the eyes of everyone who said these two words, she seemed to feel that antiquity was a vast and great era. She couldn't help but ask, "What kind of era was Antiquity?"

Qingyun glanced at Du Ruo, and there was a little surprise in his eyes. She had lost her memory and asked him this question before. "In ancient times, there was no concept of the Six Realms, at that time, gods, humans, ghosts, demons, and demons lived together in a space, and then there was a great war between the tribes, and after the war, there were today's Six Realms. ”

Du Ruo nodded as if he didn't understand, what Qingyun said was so light and light, but there must be a lot of tragic stories in it. However, the top priority now is to find the soul of the fat tiger, so she did not continue to ask.

She looked up at the stele in front of her.

The stele towers into the sky, and part of it is hidden in the thick fog. It is not like other stone tablets carved with dense words or patterns, and it looks unpretentious.

Miraculously, this stele looks ordinary at first, but after looking at it, it makes people have a sense of reverence from the bottom of their hearts, and even have an impulse to worship from the top to the bottom.

However, Du Ruo was different from ordinary mortals after all, and after stabilizing her mind, she spoke: "Then I will go." ”

Qingyun let out a faint "um", and there were no extra words.

For some reason, Du Ruo felt a sense of loss in his heart. She opened her mouth, feeling a thousand words choking in her throat, but she didn't know how to speak.

She smiled at him and turned slowly.

She felt a current of air around her, and subconsciously wanted to turn her head. But she felt a tightness around her waist, and her burning palm grabbed her firmly like a soldering iron.

The scorching breath approached from behind her, and she only felt that her center of gravity was unstable, and she was about to sit down.

Qingyun hugged her tightly from behind, if she didn't exist in the form of a primordial god now, it was estimated that her waist would be broken.

Qingyun's voice was a little indistinct, "If there is any accident on the way, you must remember to sacrifice the short sword I gave you." ”

Du Ruo only felt weak all over his body, and his voice became extremely quiet. "I know. ”

After a long time, Qingyun let go of her.

He reverted to his indifferent appearance, which made Du Ruo a little confused. It seems that the disproportionate Qingyun just now is just her hallucination.

He said lightly, "Go ahead." ”

Du Ruo raised his eyes and glanced at him, sorted out his emotions, took a deep breath, and finally raised his right foot and walked behind the stone tablet.
