It was a long and extremely muddy road to enter the gate of hell, and everyone finally understood why they must drink the spring water of Guiquan before entering. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because on this journey, not only is there no air at all, but there are also a lot of floating objects in the air, and there are large particles floating everywhere, and you can feel the dust on your hands with a casual wave in the air, and the composition is cloudy, and if you breathe, you will be choked to death immediately, and it is difficult to walk even with an oxygen mask.

However, there was a foul smell on the ground, as if countless corpses had rotted for thousands of years, and then deteriorated and condensed here after years of accumulation, like glue, making it very difficult for them to take every step.

They kept walking forward in this dark space, and found that their vision was getting worse and worse, and the searchlight beam in their hands was getting smaller and smaller here, and finally it became a point of light where they could not see anything.

Chen Zhi adjusted the searchlight repeatedly, and Fat Wei even turned on the fire fold, but the result was the same, these lights could be turned on normally, but the light disappeared in a flash, and there was still a black area around him.

"The air here is too turbid, and the light source is sucked away ......," Ji Ying reminded Chen Zhi in a low voice.

With the loss of the light source, it became more difficult for everyone to walk. It is simply not realistic to find a way in the dark, let alone within such an urgent time limit.

When everyone was plunged into darkness and didn't know what to do, Qin Yueyang was a great help, she had always been good at natural spells such as swallowing clouds and turning fog, she silently recited the incantation, creating clouds of pale yellow glowing smoke, the light in this smoke was created by witchcraft, and unlike normal light, the surrounding darkness was illuminated.

And when they saw their surroundings in the glowing smoke, they couldn't help but feel a sense of tightness.

At this time, they had been walking through the gate for a long time, and the entrance behind them had long since disappeared, but the area in front of them could not see any boundaries at all, the sky here was dark and unsightly, and the surrounding area was empty, as far as the eye could see, and the mountains could not be seen; plants, rivers are not visible; Mountains and rivers, not even any iconic objects exist.

But beneath their feet were large patches of black sludge, which spread everywhere and slowly wriggled on the ground, like an endless black swamp, but it looked more desperate than the black swamp.

"Is this hell? Sure enough, it lives up to its name! Chen Zhi thought in his mind, waving his hand to gather everyone together, not to disperse, and then slowly find their way forward along the glowing smoke together.

There was endless black mud everywhere here, black and vast, and there was no way to see the road and direction at all, but Chen Zhi found that Qin Yueyang's smoke kept flowing in one direction, physically speaking, the movement of all matter is the result of external forces, if the smoke surged in that direction, there should be a little bit of air flow in that place.

"Let's speed up and go over there ......," Chen Zhi pointed forward.

Under Chen Zhi's order, everyone began to speed up and move quickly in the mud.

Because the ghost knife was injured in the battle just now, he is no longer a striker, Chen Zhi asked him to find some emergency medicine in the treasure bag to eat first, and walked in the middle of the team with Qin Yueyang, one is to protect her safety, and the other is to pay attention to her movements.

After trekking through the mud for a while, we soon found that the black mud under our feet was getting deeper and deeper, and in some places it was even bottomless, really like a swamp of death, and one wrong step would sink into it.

Fortunately, the people in the team are all good, only Qin Yueyang stepped on the air a few times, but they were all pulled back by the ghost knife.

After walking for a while, they finally came to the place where the glowing smoke was surging, and found that the pale yellow smoke floated here and did not move, and all the clumps gathered together to form an image like a big tree, as if something was wrapped in it.

Qin Yueyang silently recited a few words of mantra to disperse the pale yellow glowing smoke, only to see that under the smoke, an extremely tall black iron tree was revealed.

The black iron tree is more than 30 meters high, very tall and magnificent, and the forging process is very rough, but the branches on the black iron tree are all sharp blades, and the blade edge is shining.

And on those sharp branches, there were fresh strips of meat hanging on them, and the strips of meat were still bloodshot, as if they had just been torn off, which made people feel frightened.

"What is this ......, what is this? It's disgusting",

Fat Wei looked at it and grinned, "Isn't there no living thing in this underworld?" Where did these raw meat strips come from? Why is it still so fresh? Bloody, it's really disgusting......".

"Those are not raw meat strips, they are tongue ......", Chen Zhi looked above and said, "It seems that the legends in the world are really not groundless, this place should be the legendary eighteenth layer of hell, tongue pulling hell." ”

Tongue Pulling Hell, is the first of the eighteen layers of hell in myths and legends, in ancient times there are many pictures that describe tongue pulling hell, its content is abnormal bloody horror, shocking the living.

According to legend, all those who sow discord in the world, slander and harm others, flamboyant tongues, clever arguments, and lie and deceive will be sent to the hell of tongue pulling out after death. The ghost broke open the man's mouth, clamped his tongue with iron tongs, and plucked it raw, not at once, but stretched it out, dragged it slowly, and then hung it on the iron tree.

Therefore, in the elderly, there is often a saying that the daughter-in-law of who's family, because she loves to chew on people's right and wrong, will be dragged into the hell of pulling out her tongue after death, and many superstitious women in the elderly believe it very much.

Hearing Chen Zhi say this, everyone looked up carefully, and only then did they see clearly that the strips of meat hanging on the branches were indeed huge tongues.

But these tongues are so fresh, they are basically elongated, and each one is more than half a meter long, compared to human tongues, more like the tongues of large animals, these tongues are cut from the end of the tongue with a brush, and hung on the iron tree.

"If these tongues are all freshly cut, then it proves that there are living creatures ...... here", Ji Ying looked at the fresh tongues above and held the long knife vigilantly.

"These tongues should have been hanging here for thousands or even tens of thousands, and the reason why they are still so alive is because they are not human tongues at all, but the tongues of gods......", Chen Zhi looked up at those bloody tongues and said indifferently,

"Actually, I have long thought that if the status of human beings in the underworld is so low, like livestock, then why is it necessary to enter the Ten Temples of Yama to be judged, and then enter the Eighteen Hells to be punished.

It's as if there is no court for animals, judge them for good and evil, and set up prisons to punish them.

So if I'm not mistaken, in fact, starting from the Lost Soul Palace, only the gods can enter the inner city of Yingdu, and the so-called eighteen layers of hell to punish the wicked are actually ...... for the gods."

"What...... that's not right, right?" , Fat Wei widened his eyes and said beside him, "Those gods are so awesome, how can they be caught in the underworld to suffer this crime?" Besides, the old Hades is also a god, how can it take care of its own people? Isn't this overstepping and abusing your fellow people? ”

"The same gods, but their identities can be ......different," Chen Zhi said indifferently, "According to what we know now, the world of gods does not talk about morality, but only believes in power.

The Hades King of the Ghost City of Xudu, the Emperor of Xudu is very ancient and has a noble status, who knows if in his eyes, these ordinary gods are as lowly as human beings......".

"Damn, yes! Call them so arrogant on weekdays, this time there is nothing to say, right? Your tongues have been chopped off, and you will see how you pretend to be ...... in the future", Fat Wei said with a wicked smile.

"Huh~~~",

Suddenly, behind everyone, there was a woman's gasp.
