Chapter 152: Soul Eater

Chu Tianlu found that the space they were in now was very large, like a spacious corridor. Although there is a bronze mirror shining now, the end of it is not visible at a glance.

"Holy!! It's really evil here, why is there a fountain in the middle? What's on it? Is that a cow? The loach also stood up, and at a glance he saw at a glance that there was a high platform seven or eight meters high in the center thirty or forty meters away from them, and at the very top of the platform there was indeed an animal standing on it. Because of the distance, I can't tell what material it is, but I feel that its color is a little dark.

On the periphery of the high platform, there is a circle of pillars around the high platform, and there seems to be something on the top of the pillar, and everyone can't see it clearly.

At this time, Chu Tianlu felt that the compass in his pocket was jumping even harder, as if he was warning him that the evil qi here was too heavy and particularly dangerous.

Chu Tianlu stretched out his hand and touched the compass and thought: Even if you warn me, I can't turn back now. Even if this is a sea of swords and fires, you have to break through.

Chu Tianlu knew better than anyone else that their situation was like an arrow on the bow, and he still concentrated on seeing if he could find an exit.

Just as he turned around to look around, Chu Tianlu saw that there seemed to be something on the back of the previous wall, and he motioned for everyone to go over and take a look carefully.

Although Chu Tianlu has no experience in inverted fighting, he still has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild. Therefore, he did not immediately go over to check because he saw the strange high platform, but gradually eliminated the dangers around him, and then slowly advanced.

The four of them came to the edge of the wall, and the pattern on it was clearly visible at this moment. There is a gloomy three-story gatehouse carved on the wall, and the gatehouse occupies the entire wall. The most strange thing for everyone is that on each side of the second floor of the gatehouse, there is a monster that looks like it is standing.

These two monsters are particularly vicious and terrifying. Its mouth was large, occupying two-thirds of its head, its fangs turned out, and it seemed to drip mucus, and it had a dragon tail on its lower body, and the hair on its head and body was curly, and there was a venomous snake with the thickness of arms coiled around its neck, staring at everyone with its fierce eyes.

"Soul Eater!!" Chu Tianlu muttered a little uncertainly. Although his voice was not loud, it still caught the attention of Loach and Autumn Rain.

"Master! Have you ever seen this scary monster? ”

"What is Soul Eater? Never heard of it? ”

Loach and Qiu Yu heard Chu Tianlu's words, and asked at the same time.

"This!! I don't know, but I've heard of it before. At that time, I also went out of my way to look for information, but I only found sporadic records in this regard. Judging from its appearance, it is exactly what the man said!! Chu Tianlu scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment.

"Master! Who is that person? What did he say? Tell me, I'm curious what this guy does. Loach couldn't hold back his curiosity, and chased after Chu Tianlu and asked him to speak.

"The person who told me about this thing was also met by chance, I remember that when I was a recruit, when I was still in the recruit camp, there was a little soldier who couldn't stand the suffering of the barracks, and he couldn't get up after a few days.

Anyone who has been a soldier knows that the recruit camp is to temper the will of the recruits, so the company did not pay attention to him, thinking that he just couldn't stand the suffering of the barracks, and he would be fine in a few days.

Who knows, after a few days, not only did he not get better, but he became more and more serious, and he was sent to the military camp for treatment, and the results of the examination were not at all wrong. You must know that the hospitals in the army at that time were much more advanced than the local hospitals, and they couldn't detect the problem, which means that he was not sick at all.

At that time, some people said behind his back that this kid was not highly conscious and was pretending. But those who are careful find that his state is definitely not pretending, he can't get out of bed for a few days, he can't get a drop of water, and even his normal urine and urine have stopped for a few days.

What to do? Nor could his family be informed to bring him back. You can't just leave it alone, but you can't find a solution. Just when the company leader was at a loss, a recruit from the countryside took a chance, saying that he should have fallen into the evil spirit.

Although the leader was reluctant to admit it, the matter was here, and if it dragged on for a long time, no one could afford to take this responsibility, so he could only secretly find a Taoist priest to show it.

Because he could no longer take care of himself, he needed someone to take care of the recruit, but he called a lot of people, and those people felt evil and were afraid to take care of him. I was so curious about these amazing things that I volunteered. In order to take care of him, I moved to a barracks specially prepared for him by the company, and slept next to him at night.

One night, I was asleep, but I was awakened by the sound of rustling, and dimly saw the leader of the company come to the barracks with a Taoist priest. I didn't get up at the time, because I knew that more things were better than less, and since the leader was so mysterious, I definitely didn't want others to know, so I pretended to be asleep.

At that time, I heard the Taoist priest say that this little comrade had fallen into an evil spirit, but what he encountered was not an ordinary evil, but a purgatory from hell where felons are imprisoned. Its name is Soul Eater. ”

Legend has it that this soul-eating beast doesn't actually belong to the underworld. Once, when the Jizo King was walking at the intersection of yin and yang, he found a dying animal, and he could not feel a trace of yang energy from its body. The king of Jizo was merciful and could not bear to let it wander away in the wilderness, so he took it to the underworld and handed it over to the king of Hades, who was in charge of one side.

After this soul eater arrives in the underworld, it is like being reborn, not only the previous sickness disappears, but from time to time it will eat some souls that have just arrived in the underworld.

Because it was given to him by the King of Jizo, Lord Yama didn't dare to do anything to it, so he could only take care of it tightly. Over time, Hades discovered that the demons were very afraid of the beast. So, the king of Hades had an idea and arranged for him to be in purgatory to take care of some powerful ghosts who had committed heavy punishments.

Seeing that Chu Tianlu was no longer talking, the loach who listened to it said with some unfinished thoughts: "There is still this matter? What happened to Saw? Master, you talk quickly. ”

"Later? I don't know what happened later, anyway, within a few days of the Taoist priest coming, the man was able to get out of bed, and he didn't need to take care of him, and then I heard that the company notified his family and asked them to take him home. ”

"Since this soul eater is guarding purgatory, why did you put it here? It's also creepy to look at this gatehouse, they are together, is there any deep meaning? After Qiu Yu saw the carving on the wall, he subconsciously approached Chu Tianlu, and couldn't help but say his own questions in his mouth.

"This isn't your average gatehouse, if I'm right, it's the gateway to the underworld. That is, the ghost gate. Chu Tianlu frowned and said the results of his analysis.

"Hell? Master, the more you talk about you, the more outrageous it becomes, this is no different from the gatehouse of our Changsha ghost market!! For Sa, it became a ghost and closed the door? The loach was completely attracted by what Chu Tianlu had just said, and listening to his tone, it seemed that he still wanted Chu Tianlu to tell him about the Tao.

"Look at the three words on the gatehouse, they are obviously ghost texts, who do you say you wrote ghost texts for?" The dumb turtle actually intervened in everyone's discussion, but what he said made the loach so unhappy! This dumb turtle seems to be honest, and he doesn't swear words when he speaks and swears, so he can't get angry even if he wants to. I had to glare at the dumb turtle angrily and no longer pay attention to him.

Qiu Yu saw that the loach had eaten a dumb loss, and seemed to be quite satisfied, and just as he was about to say two more words, he was interrupted by Chu Tianlu's words.

"There's a ghost gate here, and there's a soul eater, and if my guess is right, it's because the builders want to use them to deter some of the things here, and they don't want the things here to get out. If it is connected to the previous Seven Star Array, then the Seven Star Trapped Soul Array is actually only a second line of insurance.

If the builders have taken such painstaking efforts and thought it out, there must be a crucial link in this building.

Let's go down and take a look, judging from the current situation, it is estimated that there will be no more clues for us to find, our purpose is mainly to find the exit. ”
