CH.18 Entering the Netherworld

"This is the underworld?"

Rin, Yi Yue, Xiao Yin Xiaoli, and Wang Shu, these people came to this netherworld in the same world in theory.

"It should ...... Isn't it~" Facing Xiao Li's inquiry, Xiao Rin replied in a tone that was not very certain.

She looked up at this different clear sky.

-- The sky is blue, clear and clear, without a trace of impurities. It is like a flawless piece of jade, beautiful and clean.

-- The blue sky, with some scorching summer breeze, and white clouds blowing away with the breeze.

-- The land is lush and crisp, and the forest and the meadow meet at the limit of the line of sight, revealing a scene of prosperity.

"What a magical world~!" Xiao Yin took Xiao Li's hand and looked into the distance.

In the middle of the grass in the distance, a few hares dodged and dodged to avoid the goshawks at a very high place; in the forest, a few thousand meters high giant trees slowly walked towards a waterhole, and their roots moved to drive away the animals there; where the sun rose, a steel building ship like a mountain took off from the place where the sun rose and sailed into the afterglow of the setting sun; in the southern sky, in the depths of a white cloud that did not disperse, the three-colored streamer appeared.........

"The underworld is magical, and all civilizations return home. Monsters, gods, creatures, dead things, everything. Rin looked at the scene in front of him and said with emotion: "This time I still earned it, and Jiumen, which is located in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, will appear so dramatically." She looked at the few people around her, chuckled and shook her head: "Go back and reward that little thing at the wick!"

The little thing Wick didn't follow, because he was afraid of being caught and brought home, and that little thing was staying at the Office with Ning.

As for the kittens......

Alas, I haven't seen you in days!

I don't know why, I always feel like she's avoiding herself?

"The second floor of the hut in Nanya City turned out to be a door! Fortunately, no one came in and out there, otherwise I would have been busy again~" Leaning on Rin's side, Yue lazily breathed a long sigh of relief. The gate in Shanghai kept her busy, and if she was in one place, she would be tired.

By the way, Wangshu in Yue's arms has long been asleep, and after a few days, the rejection has become serious again!

Rin made Wangshu sleep to protect her! When she was conscious, the confrontation between her heart and the world was the strongest.

The day before yesterday, Xiao Rin and Yi Yue originally planned to communicate with the owner of Yinhong Sleepless City, but if the communication failed, these two guys planned to fight to the death. But all these problems were solved by a letter from Nanya City.

There are nine gates in the netherworld, and one of them is on the second floor of the three-story haunted house where he has been.

As a thank you to Rin for taking in the wick, the owner of the place gave them permission to use it.

............

............

On the edge of the endless grassland, near the forest, several people found a group of special creatures.

"Sister Rin, this is a fox!!" Xiao Yin shouted as she pointed to the distance.

"Xiao Yin, foxes don't know how to build houses!! Xiao Li beside him complained fiercely.

"But it's really a fox!"

Rin looked around, compared the description in the "Guanting Lan Codex", and explained, "This is probably the legendary Qingqiu, so many foxes are not common in other places. She pointed to a pure white fox with nine tails not far away and said, "Look, this is a nine-tailed fox, there is no nine-tailed fox in the whole world except Qingqiu, this must be Qingqiu!"

In front of them was a herd of foxes.

Living in groups, they walk upright, their eyes shining with wisdom.

At the end of the line of sight, you can also see the houses they built, the cultivated land, and the grain they grow.

"How many people?" said an old fox with a drooping beard and a cane, looking them up and down. And there were a lot of little foxes jumping around Xiao Rin around him. The old fox coughed heavily and said, "Don't mind, don't mind, we haven't seen anyone for a long time since the ancestor came to Qingqiu. These little guys don't know what people are like, so they're a little curious. ”

"It's okay, it's okay......," Xiao Li, who was having fun with a little fox, said in a big way. Then he looked at Rin with a pleading face: "Woo, it's so cute!" Rin, is it okay to take one home and raise it?"

"Mm-hmm, it really doesn't matter. ”

Xiao Yin was also conquered by a cute little fox, and was squinting, and the tiger touched the fiery little fox in front of her.

"Little Departure...... Pay attention, the parents are still there, don't plan to kidnap now!!" Rin, who was about to teach Xiaoli a lesson, suddenly frowned in confusion, looked at the old fox and asked, "Sir, if I'm not mistaken, you seem to know that we will be here." ”

It's okay to meet one or two at the entrance to the forest, but there are too many foxes here!

"Hehe, Master Xingyu has also been here before, asking us to show you the way. The old fox held his beard and spoke slowly. It means that they are next to the prophet, who is instructed in something, who awaits them a hundred years ago, a hundred years later, today.

After asking some things and agreeing to some things, Xiao Rin and his party did not stay long, and said goodbye to this group of little foxes. Before leaving, the two little girls were really a little reluctant.

Guided by the old fox, they slowly approached the misty forest.

Walked for a long time, deep in the forest.

Tens of kilometers in circumference, there is a small lake in the center of the Misty Forest.

The lake is clear and cloudy all year round.

"Inside, the old man took his leave, and the one who liked to be quiet. The old fox made a gesture and walked slowly out of the lake.

"Rin, it's really amazing here. ”

"Because this is the underworld, the underworld of no one, the underworld of all kinds of things. Everything here is in a special state of natural harmony, which is incomparable to the yang world. Looking at the charming scenery in front of her, Rin also sighed.

The Netherworld is a magical world: a world hidden in the shadows, a world of mystical creatures, dead things, abandoned things, gods and monsters. For example, Tai Chi Liangyi is on the opposite side of the world, but it belongs to this world.

The ancient Senluo Temple, the endless abyss, the blue forest that does not see the light all the year round, the multi-time and space temple that connects the world's roads, the sky city in the depths of the endless sea of clouds, and the dragon palace in the center of the sea......... The entire netherworld civilization is a collection of microcosms of the earth's civilization for billions of years. The so-called human beings are only the latest entrants to this era of civilization.

The concept of youkai is too broad, and some of them might be more appropriate to call them 'race survivors'!

-- Civilization was destroyed, but a very small number of individuals survived. Perhaps many years later, the humans of the Yang World will also disappear, and a very small number of them may survive and become legends in the newborn race, and become their monsters and immortals.

............

Three miles from that fox village is the Misty Forest.

There are no people, there is not a trace of waves on the calm lake, there is no wind, and there is no end to the lake.

Deep in the forest, tens of kilometers in radius, there is a small lake in the center of the misty forest.

The lake is clear and cloudy all year round.

There is a small house suspended on the surface of the clear lake. The house itself is not unusual, but the magic is that there is no support under the house in the middle of the house! You must know that most of the ordinary small buildings in the middle of the lake are built on suspended solids, or directly put on deep wooden piles, but this house is different.

It floats in the water and doesn't stick to it.

"Is this the place, it looks strange! I wonder what kind of person it will be in there?" Facing this dreamlike scene, Xiao Yin stared at the hut and frowned with some concern. Although she has not been with Xiao Wangshu for a long time, the cute appearance of the little guy is deeply imprinted in her heart, and every glance and smile is so innocent, without a little pollution in the world, like a pure dream.

"Don't worry about it, it's going to be fine. In contrast, Xiaoli seemed to have no conscience, she rubbed Wangshu's little head, full of big smiles, as if she didn't have any worries.

"There will be a way. Rin and the moon glanced at each other, and tightened the little Wangshu in his arms.

"A few little guests, please, I've got afternoon tea ready for you. At this moment, a voice from the soul sounded from the hearts of several people. The elegant tone is as empty as the starry sky in the dark night, but it contains a deep sense of wisdom.

A lake rises from a peaceful sleep and forms a delicate crystal bridge.

"......" The people looked at each other and stepped on.

After all, the past is still to pass, and there is no need to hesitate or anything.

In front of you...... Person?

A beautiful person...... Perhaps, it should be people, right?

She leaned against the edge of the small courtyard in front of the cottage, holding an old, yellowed book in her arms. The long white dress is painted with stars, and the mystical lines between the countless stars are full of mysterious lines. The back of the dress has a long back hem, which is dragged three or four meters behind it, pure white and immaculate, and there is no dust at all.

"It's been a long time since I've seen outsiders, so don't be surprised. "I don't know why, she has been staring at them since they came to the hut, especially Xiao Yin...... Even more staring!

Stretching out his hand, several delicate tables and chairs appeared in the small courtyard, and the delicate teapots on the table were steaming.

"A few little guests, please use, this pot of 'dyed black tea' is a gift from a Western magician not long ago, it's quite good~~" She picked up a cup and took a sip gently, squinting her eyes and savoring it happily~

“...... Rin, is this really your Maoshan from Maoshan?"

"That...... It should be~" In the face of Tsuki's inquiry, Rin gave a reply that was not very certain.

"Huh...... There is no doubt at all that I did study in Maoshan a long time ago...... Of course, it was a long time ago!" the beautiful woman chuckled and gestured to her chair for them to sit down: "I know what you want to ask, but don't rush it first, let's have a cup of tea first...... Well, it's quite delicious~" After taking another sip, she eagerly pulled Xiao Yin to the seat beside her.

"Thank you...... Thank you. Xiao Yin thanked her a little awkwardly.

"Even hehe~ It's really a cute child~"

............

Although I don't know who the magician she said is, but the beings who are respected as magicians are all characters comparable to gods, and since it is a gift from this kind of character, black tea is naturally good!

"Well, this lady......" took a sip of it, and although it was delicious, Rin couldn't help but ask, "Can I ask about this child?"

"Patience, patience...... The patience of today's children needs to be improved~" wiped his mouth with a napkin very leisurely, and the beautiful 'person' shook his head with a smile: "Forget it, since you are in such a hurry, just ask...... Although my sister knows it~"

"........." Yue clenched her fist and turned her face to the side expressionlessly.

I don't know why, she unexpectedly didn't have a crush on this guy!

"Although I am already a Heavenly Master, I focus on words and formations......... I am really not proficient in divination, not only me, but no one in the entire Maoshan is proficient in this way. I have consulted a lot of information, since ancient times, there are not many predecessors in Maoshan who specialize in studying the mysteries of fate, and the predecessors are precisely the one with the highest achievements and still exist in the world!"

"Uh-huh...... Of course, my sister and I are also a genius. He nodded very seriously, without any modesty at all. Stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Xiao Rin: "Little guy, don't call your predecessor in the future, call your sister old, call ...... Oh~ By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my sister's surname is Zhang, her name is Chen'er, and the word: Xingyu. ”

"Star Seniors......"

"Uh-huh~!"

"Okay...... Sister Chen, can you ask about this little guy!" "Gritting his teeth, Rin hasn't been so passive since he returned from Maoshan school!" 'A thousand-year-old monster, this young guy is definitely a thousand-year-old monster!'

She remembered the book that recorded her, and how old and tattered it was!

"That's right, but you can't think about those rude things~~"

"Monster!"

............

"Yes, I can tell you everything I know......" Zhang Xingyu nodded very dryly, but put forward a condition: "But...... I want her!!" Pointing in Xiao Yin's direction, she said categorically.

"Huh!?"

"Huh?"

"If you dream, Xiao Yin won't give you !!" Just when Xiao Rin and the others were surprised, Xiao Li protected Xiao Yin behind him like a profane hen.

She turned around and looked at Rin with teary eyes: "Rin, Xiaoyin is very well-behaved, you won't let her out, right!

"That's what I said, how could such a well-behaved Xiao Yin let you out! It's a good choice to let you out~" After putting down the teacup in his hand, Rin glanced at the anxious Xiao Li, and smiled jokingly. Then Rin solemnly looked at the person in front of him and said, "Xiao Yin is my disciple, no! It's a family! I won't accept such conditions!"

"Oh hehe...... The serious little sister is really cute~" After covering her mouth and chuckling for a while, she put down the black tea in her hand and then she glanced at Rin lightly: "I'm doing this for her good, although she cultivates the authentic Xuanmen, and even Maoshan's "Shangqing Cave Xuanzhen Sutra" ......"

She got up and came to Xiao Yin's side, gently picked up her chin with one hand, and gently stroked Xiao Yin's eyes with infinite mystery with the other: "Such beautiful eyes are so wasted...... The body has leaked the eye of the sky, and her specialty should be counting and divination. ~~ You are incompetent!"

Rin bowed her head in frustration, but was speechless.

That's right, in the way of counting, there are really not many things she can teach Xiao Yin. Even now, she doesn't have any new knowledge to teach her, so she can only provide some books and materials for Xiao Yin to study by herself.

"It's really my dereliction of duty...... Xiao Yin, I'm sorry~" Rin looked at Xiao Yin gently and apologetically.

"That's not the case, Sister Rin taught me a lot of things!"

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, after all, there are a lot of things that need it. I just want to give this little guy a chance now!" Starry eyes stared into the depths of Xiao Yin's eyes, as if to see through her heart: "Little guy, are you willing?If you want, I will tell you everything I know!" That little guy's background is a bit peculiar, and for some problems, there is not much that this world can understand~~"

"But... But...... I already have Sister Rin's master!"

Faced with a choice, Xiao Yin hesitantly pushed her slender hands away and muttered to herself. is also cultivating the "Shangqing Cave Xuanjing", Xiao Yin's cultivation progress will not be slower than anyone else's, but there are not many real means of fighting the enemy, most of them rely on the law realm and talisman seals given by Rin. Unlike Xiaoli, Chrysostom Yuyan's talent itself has strong combat power, and she is also taught by Rin and Luoya, two spell masters. Maybe after a long time, all the gaps will be made up by powerful cultivation, just like Rin, who uses the powerful cultivation realm to bulldoze all obstacles, but by no means now!

-- This temptation is great!

"Xiao Yin...... If you do, my sister won't care. My master is very derelict in his duties. Rin looked at Xiao Yin, who was embarrassed, and slowly spoke. Xiao Yin will be impressed, she knows, because in the count, there is no one to guide her, and it takes too much time to explore alone.

Although Xiao Yin is very talented, no one can teach her by herself, or in the whole of Maoshan.

Yes, what I can teach Xiaoyin has already been taught.

"I ......" turned to look at the little guy curled up in Yue's arms, Xiao Yin took the person who had been smiling and waiting for an answer as if he had walked into the execution ground: "Yes!"

"Ah, don't make this expression, I'm not going to eat you~~" Someone who achieved the goal was in a pretty good mood, and his eyes that narrowed into a slit flashed with a little joy. She took a sip of the fragrant black tea, and the guy complained quietly. "Come into the house and tell me about the little one. ”

............

Nearly an hour later, several people walked out of the hut

"Don't! Don't!!So I won't be able to see Xiaoyin, woo woo woo woo ......"

"Don't be sad Xiaoli, it won't be long!"

"But in that case, I won't see her for a year!!"

"You can stay with that noisy little ghost. However, I don't know much about the study of spells, and everyone doesn't learn that spell, and if you follow me, your little master will be very sad~~" A burst of starlight flickered, and the beautiful woman in the starry dress appeared beside the two.

She held a heavy book and appeared on the chair half-leaning together, and leisurely dangled her tender white feet~~

At this moment, Xiao Yin also walked out of the house.

"Xiao Li's good girl~" She hugged Xiao Li's head and whispered in her ear: "What we said, will always be by Sister Rin's side, if we all leave at once, she will be sad!"

"Hmm...... But, Xiao Yin, you!"

"Don't worry, it won't be long, a year, it will only take a year to ......" Zhang Xingyu comforted her, looked at the sky deeply, and sighed: "What I want to teach her is not the vast and endless sea of stars, but a way to seek the truth...... You know, there is never an end to counting, and no one or god claims to be the end? All people are seekers...... The difference is only the distance traveled. ”

"I, maybe I've gone too far, too much beyond ordinary people...... There is no one around me who stands at the same height, although I am not tired or tired, but I am a little lonely. She looked at the void in front of her, her unusual silver eyes shining with endless mysteries. Pick up the book in his hand and place it in the sun: "Since no one has reached my position, then I'll cultivate one myself......"

In the forest by the lake, a few figures gradually faded away.

Xiao Yin looked out from the hut in the middle of the lake until it disappeared.

"You're so cute...... Maybe many years ago, I would have pursued you~" Appearing beside her, the beautiful woman in the star robe touched Xiao Yin's cheek. For her, gender has never been an issue, the question is only a heart...... Now that she's late, that heart already has a home.

“...... Please stop!" Xiao Yin, who was patient and had a violent forehead

"Okay, okay, I knew it was going to be like this!" retracting his hand, the guy pouted boredly: "That little guy is really lucky, to get the company of you two forever." ”

Xiao Yin looked at the direction where Rin disappeared, and whispered in her mouth: "It's not her luck, it's our luck...... From the moment she appeared in our lives, we have decided to be by her side and make our share her......"

"Jealous, jealous...... Numbers can't match cause and effect, and cause and effect can't win fate!"
