Chapter 62: Wangxiangtai
The mysterious material used to cast these ten Yama statues actually came from the Netherworld?
After hearing Juekong's words, everyone looked at each other and was speechless.
From everyone's reactions now, it is obvious that no one has heard of the so-called Ice Spectre Stone, which is why they have such expressions.
But if you think about it carefully, this place of the Netherworld does not belong to Shenzhou in the first place, and since this place connects Shenzhou and Netherworld, it doesn't seem to be an incomprehensible thing for mysterious materials from Netherworld to appear here.
Thinking of this, everyone once again stretched out their hands to the statue of the Ten Halls of Yama in front of them, feeling the coolness coming from the statue, while looking at the statue with curious eyes, trying to find some details from the statue that they had not noticed before.
However, unlike everyone's curiosity about the Ice Stone, my focus fell more on the other sentence that Juekong said.
The origin of this so-called ice stone actually came from the legendary Wangxiang platform.
According to records, the construction structure of Wangxiangtai is quite bizarre, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, the face is like a bow back, the back is like a bowstring flat column, except for a stone level path, the rest are all sword mountains and sword trees, which is very steep.
As the so-called Wangxiang Terrace looks at the hometown again, looking back at the homeland with tears, this so-called Wangxiang Terrace originally referred to the fact that it was just an ordinary high platform.
This high platform can be either man-made or naturally formed, and its function is to allow people who have not returned for a long time or have been displaced to look at their hometown and express their thoughts.
Later, with the maturity of the concept of ghosts and gods and the introduction of netherworld legends, Wangxiangtai gradually evolved from a real building to a legendary existence.
I don't know when it began, there is a folk legend that in the darkness where people come after death, there is also a lookout platform.
And about this Wangxiang Tower in the netherworld, there is a very interesting story among the people.
The origin of the story is because when people just died, the ghosts still have a deep longing for the life of the yang world and the relatives in the yang world, so there are often ghosts who climb the major mountains of the netherworld in an attempt to look back at the scene of the yang world and take a second look at the relatives in the yang world.
But after all, there is a difference between people and ghosts, even if they do this, they still can't see their relatives again, it is precisely because of this kind of torment of longing for relatives but not seeing each other, so many ghosts can't help but cry secretly in the middle of the night, the voice is miserable, tear-jerking.
Although the name of the Ten Halls of Yama is Yama, they are undoubtedly kind-hearted people, and after hearing about this, the Yamas were moved by compassion, so they ordered the ghosts to build a lookout platform, allowing the souls of the dead to come to this platform to see their hometown and relatives in the distance.
Therefore, this so-called lookout platform has become a window for ghosts to look at the sun, and it is also an extremely rare place where people and ghosts can intersect.
When I first heard about this legend, I didn't pay much attention to it, but as my knowledge grew, I became interested in this so-called Wangxiangtai several times.
There is no doubt that after death, the soul of a person returns to the netherworld, and there is a difference between humans and ghosts, and theoretically speaking, ghosts and humans have no possibility of eternal existence.
And through the previous Chunting story, we already know that even if they are as strong as the legendary Ten Hall Yama, they can't break the iron law that this person and ghost are different. Cool text
After the disappearance of Emperor Xudu, the Ten Palaces Yama wanted to come to Shenzhou to find Emperor Xudu, and at most they could only gather the strength of ten people to protect one person through the boundary sea, which is why they sent the descendants of the Rakshasa clan to complete this search, because they could not shuttle between Shenzhou and the Netherworld at will.
And if even the Ten Halls of Yama can't travel between the two realms at will, then this so-called Wangxiang Terrace will definitely not allow ghosts and humans to meet, and this legend is undoubtedly extremely false.
However, all legends must have their roots, and if there is really no possibility of ghosts and humans meeting each other, then how can this legend become more and more intense, and after thousands of years, it is still circulating in the world?
Since we can still hear similar rumors today, it can only prove that this legendary Wangxiangtai does seem to have some special ability, and it is precisely because of this special ability that such rumors are generated.
And after today's events, I suddenly had some bold speculations about this so-called Wangxiang Tower.
If I'm not mistaken, this so-called Wangxiangtai can't actually break the iron law that people and ghosts are different, and the reason why there are rumors we hear is actually just because of the effect of illusion.
Just now, after touching the ten Yama statues, all of us fell into that inexplicable hallucination.
And although I could clearly feel that I was in a hallucination just now, I had to admit that the hallucination was too real, and if I hadn't had so many strange stories, then I would definitely think that I had arrived in the legendary Netherworld, and I would never have any other thoughts.
Nowadays, I am barely a well-informed person, and if even I am almost caught in a hallucination and cannot extricate myself, then it proves that if ordinary people fall into the hallucination just now, they will definitely not be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
And since Juekong has just told us that the Ice Stone used to cast these Yama statues is made under the legendary Wangxiang Terrace, is this a hint to us that Wangxiang Tower, the origin of this Ice Ghost Stone, should also have the ability to make people fall into illusions?
If it is really as I suspected, then all the legends and stories can already be explained reasonably.
Thinking of this, I suddenly shook my head unconsciously.
It's far from that simple.
Although everything in the legend has now been roughly explained, what we have just experienced still puzzles me.
There is no doubt that Juekong, who has been guarding this secluded land for generations, must have known that the Ten Hall Yama Statues cast by this Ice Ghost Stone would make people fall into illusions, and he himself did not hesitate to admit this just now.
However, just now he did not tell us the truth, but let us passively fall into that inexplicable hallucination without knowing it.
And that's the part that is most difficult for me to understand.
Obviously, we are all living human beings, not ghosts after death, so we naturally do not need to hallucinate our relatives and hometown.
And through the hallucinations I have just experienced, I can also clearly determine that what I saw in the hallucinations was not my relatives and hometown, but the legendary Yama.
That being the case, why did Juekong make such a move?
