Shouldn't this be the legendary way of the Yin soldiers, why did it become this so-called Nine Shadows City?

Thinking of this, I looked into the distance again, and could faintly see the city behind the castle tower, and found that in this city, it did not seem to be as colorful as the world, and there was only one color that I could see, and that was black, which looked eerie and terrible.

In addition, I found that there is a high mountain next to the city, which is not very tall from a distance, but it looks unusually heavy, and people can't help but feel the invisible pressure it brings.

I tried to call out to Chunting and Juekong in front of me, but found that they didn't have the slightest intention of ignoring me, so I could only call out to the people around me who were on a fugue, trying to gather everyone's strength and analyze our current situation.

After some shouting, I woke up everyone who was still in the fugue, except for Juekong and Chunting, who gathered around me, and after my explanation, everyone's eyes took turns to look ahead.

In the end, everyone unanimously confirmed that what I saw just now was not an illusion, and the big characters engraved on that plaque were the Nine Shadows City, and next to this city, there was indeed a mountain that looked unusually thick.

Now that this fact has been confirmed, I can't help but think of some legends I've seen, and when I combine the two, I am suddenly struck by lightning.

And just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind me.

"Judging by the way you look now, you must have thought of something."

After hearing this voice, everyone turned around and found that Juekong and Chunting were slowly walking towards us, and the familiar voice just now came from Chunting's mouth.

"I did think of something, but it was so unbelievable that I couldn't believe it."

Hearing his words, I nodded to him unabashedly, admitting that I had guessed, but I didn't specify it, but turned my gaze to Juekong and asked about the mystery at the entrance just now.

"Master Juekong, you know a lot more about this place than we do, in that case, please explain it to me, just now at the entrance of the Yin Soldier's Dao, why did it seem that after you and Chunting entered it, it was as if the world had disappeared, and we couldn't see your subsequent figure at all?"

"Amitabha, Master Han Chuan, since you have already guessed in your heart, why do you have to ask such a question?"

After hearing my question, Juekong smiled faintly, and the look between his eyebrows seemed to say that I had done something more.

“”

Nine secluded, in fact, is a very interesting saying, the so-called nine is the extreme, and secluded, is quiet, dark meaning, the so-called nine secluded, in fact, refers to the deepest part of the earth, the deepest, dark place.

As we all know, in the myths and legends of China, the so-called ninefold heaven has been mentioned more than once, and since the sky has nine layers, the earth naturally also has nine layers, and this ninefold land is the origin of the so-called nine shadows.

As we all know, in the myths and legends of China, the so-called ninefold heaven has been mentioned more than once, and since the sky has nine layers, the earth naturally also has nine layers, and this ninefold land is the origin of the so-called nine shadows.

However, in the records of ancient books, this mysterious Nine Shadows once had another name.

That's the Hidden Capital. Zilang literature

The secluded capital, the underground and the earth govern it, and the underground is secluded, so it is called the secluded capital.

According to legend, the capital is ruled by the gods and goddesses, and because it belongs to the underground netherworld, it is called the hidden capital.

In addition, it was also written in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, Classic of the Sea": "Within the North Sea, there are mountains, called the mountains of the secluded capital, and the black water comes out." There are birds, snakes, and foxes on them. ”

The general meaning is that in the place within the North Sea, there is a high mountain, this mountain is called Youdu Mountain, from which the black water flows, and then there are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black unkempt foxes.

This may be the earliest record of the hidden capital.

In the legend, the Youdu is the place ruled by Houtu, but Houtu is a god, and naturally it is impossible to stay in the Youdu for a long time, so the real ruler of this place is actually Tubo.

The spirit of the Yin soldiers, although they do not need to rest, is not suitable for long-term exposure to the world, so unless they are fighting on the battlefield, those Yin soldiers will return to the way of the Yin soldiers to rest on weekdays.

It turned out that the way of this Yin soldier was not only a passage, but also a resting place for those battle soul Yin soldiers.

When Chunting told the story of the Netherworld and the Rakshasa clan, Juekong acted as if he didn't exist, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and when he heard that Chunting decided to enter the path of the Yin Soldiers, he finally spoke slowly.

"Delegates, the poor monks have a word first, even if the poor monks have guarded the way of the Yin soldiers for generations, but some of these places have been regarded as forbidden places by my line for thousands of years, you must firmly follow the poor monks, and you must not act rashly, so as not to fall into a crisis."

Don't scare yourself, let's go.

Step into it.

When I was able to control my body, I quickly opened my eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone was beside me, and not far in front of us, it was Juekong and Chunting who had entered it one step ahead of us.

And looking at Chunting's indifferent expression at the moment, I can finally be sure that Juekong has no plans, and he has not done anything here, as for why we can't see the two of them, maybe it's just because of the mystery hidden at this entrance.

After confirming this, I finally let go of my heart for a long time, and began to look around at the space I was in, and then I was shocked again.

Although we have only crossed an entrance, what we see now is as if we have crossed a world.

In the past, I naively thought that the so-called way of the Yin soldiers was just a passage specially created for Guiguzi because he was worried about the Yin soldiers disturbing the world, but what I appear in my eyes now is not a simple passage, but like a real city.

Although there is no sunlight here, I can still vaguely see that what appears in front of us is actually a city tower full of vicissitudes and majesty!

This city tower is incomparably majestic, looking from afar like three mountains embracing, five peaks protruding, looking at its shape, it is not inferior to any of the places of interest and historic sites I have seen in Shenzhou, and even surpassed.

And if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that in the center of the top of this city tower, there is a huge black plaque hanging, and three big characters are engraved on it.

Nine Secluded Cities!
