Chapter 124 ◎ Midnight Sightseeing

The legends of the two worlds of yin and yang have been endlessly growing since ancient times.

Even, the mythological color is getting stronger and stronger.

In Xue Chen's memory, the underworld was the kind of cold and bloody scene of darkness and hell everywhere.

He has heard of Lord Yama, Black and White Impermanence, Meng Po Soup, etc., and of course, there are many movies where all kinds of hideous and terrifying images have been filmed......

Xue Chen thought that after he stepped into the ghost gate, he would see everything above.

However, in fact, Xiahou Rin twisted and turned, and led him to a wasteland, where he removed the weeds and rubble, revealing a dilapidated earth temple.

The land temple was small, but to the height of the calf, Xue Chen was confused, but he saw Xiahou Rin squatting down and gently knocking on the eaves of the temple and said, "Land, wake up." ”

After knocking three times, there was some movement in the land temple, and the sound of tinkling sounded, and after a while, a small person came out of the door, transformed into an ordinary person's size, Xue Chen looked at it, it was a sleepy-eyed old man, and his beard was also gray, this look is really a bit like the land father-in-law in "Journey to the West".

When the land god saw Xiahou Rin, he came over and shouted very enthusiastically: "Alas, this is not a demon ...... Eh, Prince Xiahou, you haven't been here for a long time. ”

The land was halfway through the words, but before the word demon lord could be spoken, he was interrupted by a look from Xiahou Rin, so he had to change his words.

After that, the land god didn't forget to glance at Xue Chen, this young man has a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his deep eyes are a bit like Xiahou Rin, could it be ......

"I'm in trouble with the land, I'll go in, and if I encounter something in the world, I need to go to the Yama Temple to ask."

Xiahou Rin didn't say much, but he also got straight to the point, and the land god nodded happily after hearing it and said, "Naturally, please." ”

After speaking, Xue Chen saw a looming circle of light appear behind the land god, and there seemed to be a door inside.

Xue Chen didn't think about it, how could this go so smoothly, and the land god seemed to be respectful to Xiahou Rin, but when it came to it......

"Young Master Xiahou, are all ghosts in the underworld, is it possible that there is a difference between ghosts and blood ghosts?" Xue Chen was somewhat incomprehensible, but listened to Xiahou Rin's unhurried explanation: "No, the underworld is not entirely a ghost, from the moment you step into the door, there is a land in front of you that is a god, and then in this underworld, the king of Hades is the head, and there are ten halls of Yama left, as well as Meng Po, who is often said in the world, they are all immortal gods, but they govern different realms, and their rank and mana are almost the same as the gods in the sky, in addition, there are Jizo Bodhisattvas in the underworld, I guess you also know this." ”

Xue Chen nodded: "What about black and white impermanence?" ”

Xiahou Rin said: "Black and white impermanence is indeed a ghost, but it is the biggest ghost under the god of the underworld, under the black and white impermanence, it is the rakshasa who guards the ghosts in the Yama Palace." ”

Xue Chen probably understood, but looked left and right at the surrounding scenery, since they entered the door, there was only a straight avenue, and the willows on both sides were verdant, but there was no wind blowing and swaying, and there was not even a single grass in addition.

The road in front of us is somewhat endless. cruel

"Are we going to pass by Huangquan Road?" Xue Chen remembered that when he traveled to Xudu before, he had also heard some underworld culture, and Xiahou Rin just smiled and said, "This one under your feet is the legendary Huangquan Road." ”

To put it mildly, it completely shattered Xue Chen's impression of the cloudy wind and the entangled ghosts on Huangquan Road......

This foot is a flat river, and it is even a bit like a plate oil road, which is actually the legendary Huangquan Road?

But don't they all say that there is no living thing in Hades, and these trees ......

"This is the ghost willow," Xiahou Rin obviously saw through Xue Chen's thoughts, and said patiently one by one, "Since ancient times, Liu Tongyin has stayed, and it is the last thing related to the human world on this Huangquan Road." ”

Continuing to walk, Huangquan Road was almost at an end, and a quiet and stable wide river appeared in front of Xue Chen, with a stone arch bridge erected on the river, Xue Chen said: "I know this, Lethe River and Nai He Bridge, but don't they all say that there are many evil ghosts falling in Lethe...... How can it be so calm. ”

Xiahou Rin nodded and said: "Do you know that what you see in your eyes is what you think in your heart, the Lechuan River is like a mirror, the soul of the heart passes by, it is peaceful, if the evil ghost passes through it, it will be turbulent and tumbling." ”

After crossing the bridge, there is a sea of blood-colored flowers, which are flowers on the other side, bright red as blood, and the only bright color in this underworld.

Next to the flowers on the other side, there is a huge stone, Xue Chen looked at it, there was a small pavilion on it, but the whimpering sound from there was endless, Xiahou Rin said on the side: "That is the Wangxiang Pavilion, it is the last place where the hundred ghosts can see the world before entering the reincarnation, and it is also a wish for those ghosts who have not had time to see their families." ”

After Xue Chen heard this, his heart was faintly sour, and before he could come back to his senses from those whimperings, he saw two roads under his feet, one end was the layers of ancient eaves, one by one house, and the other end was another pavilion, on which there was a plaque with three words: Forget Worry Pavilion.

In the pavilion, there was a kind woman sitting, with white hair tied behind her, sitting upright in a white dress, fanning the fan in her hand, only caring about the tea stove in front of her.

Xiahou Rin looked at the pavilion and said: "That is the Forgetting Worry Pavilion, it is the place of the god Meng Po, and behind the Forgetting Worry Pavilion is the cliff of the six reincarnations, but we will not go there for the time being." ”

Xiahou Rin took Xue Chen to the place where the pavilions on the other side were high and low, and said: "This is the Dharma field of the Yama Hall and the Ten Halls of Yama, the king of Yama in the Yama Hall is the god of the underworld who is in charge of the affairs of the Yin Division, and under the Yama Palace, there are eighteen layers of hell, in addition, the underworld is almost the main only these, if there is, it is the Jizo method in the back." ”

Walking to the door of the Yama Palace, Xue Chen was a little subconsciously afraid, just through a mansion door, but he had already felt the gloomy aura inside......

The scenery before is indeed good, but this Yama Hall ......

Look up at the eerie plaque

Xiahou Rin knocked on the door, glanced back at Xue Chen, who was taking a deep breath, and naturally put his arm on Xue Chen's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I said it's okay." ”

With a tap on the shoulder, Xue Chen felt the warmth from the palm of Xiahou Rin's hand for the first time, and he always thought that Xiahou Rin's whole person was cold and cold......

At this moment, there was some movement behind the gate of the Yama Palace.
