Chapter 13: The Hall of Paradise
It was getting late, Princess Jianing and Zifeng carried Xiaoqian and flew back like treading waves on water, laughing non-stop while riding the wind.
The two eagles are the same in the air, sometimes pulling away, sometimes approaching, sometimes gliding, sometimes flapping their wings. The sound of carvings and laughter alternates back and forth, making the evening extraordinarily quiet.
The three of them landed, Zhuge Yue high-fived and said: "The three of them are fluttering in the air, their long clothes are swinging, there are eagle guards on them, and there are exquisite wolves exploring the way below, plus the orange light of Yuxia, coupled with the stunning appearance, I can't believe it if I don't see it with my own eyes, it is indeed a heaven and a man." ”
Zifeng walked up to Zhuge Yue and shook the long silk in his hand, Zhuge Yue dodged and said, "Hey, what are you going to do, Zifeng Messenger?" ”
Zifeng's other hand waved over Zhuge Yue's head. Xiao Qian covered her mouth and smiled: "You guys play, I'm going to prepare dinner." After Xiao Qian finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Princess Jianing smiled and walked to the room and said, "Master Zhuge , let's have dinner together to thank you for your carving." ”
Princess Jianing and Zifeng walked into the room with a smile, and Zhuge Yue followed the room inexplicably. Princess Jianing hid the mirror, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, and her smile almost didn't come out.
The Shadowless Boy walked in and said, "Have you had any fun with the princess?" ”
Princess Jianing covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Although the scenery of the Underworld Sect is not as good as that of the Great Qiangong, it is also charming, high and green, long grass and shallow water, flowers and bees dancing with each other, fish and birds frolicking, there is a unique scenery, but occasionally dizzy." ”
When the shadowless boy looked at Zhuge Yue, he also laughed and said, "Zhuge Gongzi, what's wrong?" ”
Zhuge Yue looked at the three people in confusion, and there was a hint of a smile in the confusion, and said: "I don't know, the princess and the Zifeng envoy suddenly laughed non-stop, presumably I didn't rest well last night, and my eyes are not handsome anymore." ”
At this time, Xiaoqian came in with the food, put them on the table one by one, and didn't forget to smile when she left. Zhuge Yue was a little confused.
The shadowless boy invited Princess Jianing to sit down and said, "Let's eat first, and then go to the Secret Hall of the Underworld Sect to have a look, it just so happens that another group of disciples have joined the sect today." ”
Princess Jianing didn't squeak, she picked up her rice bowl and was about to eat, when she suddenly burst out laughing, turned around and took the mirror, and pushed it in front of Zhuge Yue.
Zhuge Yue looked at it and said, "Oh, Zifeng Messenger is so fast, he planted a piece of grass on my head, what are you laughing at?" Zhuge Yue picked off the withered grass, picked up the rice bowl and ate it in a big gulp, laughing while eating himself.
"Do you think it's over sending Sister Zifeng's two Spring Mountain thrushes? Be careful! Princess Jianing glanced at Zifeng.
After eating, the shadowless boy led the three people through the hall and through the courtyard, floating through a water hall. The water in the water hall is not fast, but the water is very large. In the middle of the water hall is a small tidal flat, on which there is a row of dark rooms with doors and windows closed.
There are three words written on the darkroom: Bliss Hall.
Zhuge Yue stopped and said, "Sect Master, I still won't go in, so as not to have any trouble in the future." ”
The shadowless boy smiled: "It doesn't hurt to lead you in just to see, the biggest mystery of the Underworld Sect is not in the places that can be seen from the outside, but in many invisible places, Zhuge Gongzi can rest assured." ”
Princess Jianing pushed Zhuge Yue and said, "If the sect leader asks you to enter, you will enter, that is, there is nothing to cause trouble." ”
The shadowless boy pushed open the door and walked in, and Princess Jianing, Zifeng, and Zhuge Yue entered.
The shelves in the darkroom are extremely high, which makes the wax light faint, but the ventilation is excellent, and from time to time there is a cool breeze blowing in, and the wax light sways with the wind. A smell of incense mixed with burning wax wafted over.
"Sure enough, it's not ordinary, the longitudinal direction of the room is downward, simple and practical." Zhuge Yue seemed to be commenting, he didn't notice Princess Jianing and Zifeng's actions.
Princess Jianing covered her nose and walked forward, but the colder she went, the heavier she became, and said, "Sect Master, the grass and trees outside are verdant and fragrant, but how can it be so cold here, even a little cold?" ”
The shadowless boy smiled slightly, and said: "The reason is very simple, the new disciples have no breathing, if it is not in the cold state, their physical bodies are easy to break, although the Paradise Hall is built on the water beach, the underground foundation is extremely extensive, in order to prevent the new corpse from rotting, there is a huge ice trough under the basement of this dark room, and the temperature has been cooled by the ice trough when the wind drifts by, so the princess will feel cold." ”
Zifeng said: "In such a hot summer, the ice (1) bricks won't melt?" ”
The Shadowless Boy said: "The ice cubes are extremely large and huge, so they are not easy to melt, even if the top layer of ice cubes melts, they must be replaced in time, and those ice cubes are frozen by the extreme north faction of the Ice Spirit Continent, and they will not be easily melted." ”
While he was talking, a person walked over, bowed down and said, "The subordinate right protector Ma has never seen a sect leader. ”
The shadowless boy said majestically: "I have seen Princess Jianing of the Great Qiangong Palace, the messenger of Zifeng, and the prince of Zhuge of the Zhuge family. ”
Ma Wuchang said: "My subordinates have seen the princess, the messenger of Zifeng, and the prince of Zhuge . ”
Princess Jianing said: "No courtesy." As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Wuchang, this person's appearance was normal, but there was a cool black and purple aura on his face.
Several people entered a large empty room. Looking at the room, I saw that the upper part of the room was full of white gas, but the ground was very dry, and countless wooden boards divided the room into dozens of small rooms, but the small rooms had no doors, and a small red lantern hung above each small room, and the light was a little red in the dark room.
The shadowless boy stretched out his left palm, and a huge true power turned into a piece of light, and the light was like a hand opening the long seats in the nearby small room. There were more than a dozen corpses lying under the bench, and the corpses were in a dark green circle of light.
Princess Jianing didn't want to see it, but she saw it again. The dozen or so corpses died in different ways, but they were undoubtedly all blue and black without a trace of blood, and their eyes were slightly open, as if they were all dead. The blue-black complexion is even more terrifying against the background of the dark green aperture.
Princess Jianing looked back at Zhuge Yue, Zhuge Yue was closing his eyes and luck, he definitely didn't want to look at it, and he didn't dare to imagine it. Princess Jianing smiled.
The shadowless boy pointed to the corpses covered by the other long seats and said, "These corpses were all transferred from all continents, and now what we see is only their bodies, and the corresponding souls have already been introduced into the Santong Ancient Tomb." ”
"Is it a matter of safety to separate the body from the soul?" Princess Jianing couldn't bear to ask, but as the princess of the Great Qiangong Palace, she couldn't help asking.
The shadowless boy replied: "Yes, the soul leaves the body, it is considered to be helpless, the body leaves the soul is just a piece of flesh, they have different identities, different appearances, different ways of dying, but they must all be in the prime of life, only the dead corpses in the prime of life can have good bones and tendons, and only such dead corpses can make good dead and alive people, by the way, the corpse here is the Blissful One, and the foot is naturally the Blissful Hall." ”
The three of them walked down the aisle, which was lined with countless dead bodies.
Zhuge Yue suddenly asked: "May I ask the sect leader, is it really created by the old man of the three links?" ”
"Huh? I can't say the specifics, but since the chaos of heaven and earth first opened, the ancient gods created people and all living beings, they must be inseparable from the soul, that is, the soul-making magic, but the soul as an invisible and untouchable thing, will also be invaded by all sides, so the masters of all parties began to specialize in the characteristics of the soul, to the generation of the old man of the three links, he lived up to expectations, created a three-step method to manage the soul, but whether it is passed down from ancient times, this is difficult to confirm. The Shadowless Boy looked as he spoke, as if admiring the dead bodies.
Princess Jianing said: "There are people in the Longtutang of the Great Qiangong Palace who teach the exercises of soul attraction, soul requiem, and soul transfer, but unfortunately I didn't learn it. ”
"To learn or not to learn, it doesn't necessarily have to be in Longtutang, the method of learning in the room and learning outside the home is different, and the effect will definitely not be the same." Zhuge Yue also covered his nose and said softly, as if he was afraid of scaring those dead bodies.
Zi Feng said: "Then you go out to travel and don't enter the Dragon Path Hall, especially when you go to the Hidden Spirit Continent, do you want to learn the Underworld Sect Divine Technique as soon as possible?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, I just told the princess that learning and cultivation don't necessarily have to be in the Great Qiangong, as long as you want to learn, it's the same anywhere." Zhuge Yue hurriedly explained. His impatient appearance caused Princess Jianing to smile.
The shadowless boy led the way in front, and said as he walked: "Zifeng envoy, don't make fun of Zhuge Gongzi, to get to the point, in recent decades, there has not been much turmoil in the rivers and lakes, and all sects and factions have acted according to the instructions of the Great Qiangong, so the killing fights, especially large-scale killing fights, are very rare, in addition, over the years, the lower-class warriors in the rivers and lakes have a living guarantee, and there are fewer and fewer dead people, so naturally the price is higher. ”
"Didn't you say that the Underworld Sect only guided the unfaithful souls of all continents to the Hidden Spirit Continent? And now the scene in front of you is happening again? "Princess Jianing really didn't want to accept what she was seeing.
The Shadowless Boy said: "The handling of the soul is indeed the first priority for my Underworld Sect, and it does not conflict with the things here, wouldn't it be better to choose the right soul and the appropriate body to become one?" ”
Princess Jianing turned to look at Zifeng, Zifeng was expressionless, and looked at Zhuge Yue, who lowered his head as if he was enduring suffering.
Several men were pouring something into the mouths of the dead bodies, each with a hard pipe, a scoop, and a bucket in their hands. The bucket contained black juice, and the barrel was very large, and the black juice was dangling in the bucket, obviously heavy.
Zifeng pointed at those few people: "Sect Master, what are those people doing?" ”
The shadowless boy said: "Oh, these dead corpses have been dead for different lengths of time, and the cold is not enough, after coming in, you must first pour in the embalming powder, so that you don't have to worry about the corpses bought at a high price before making them. ”
The tube was inserted directly into the bloodless mouth of the dead corpse regardless of its importance, and the embalming was poured into the tube, and the raw and scattered pipes flowed down the pipe, gurgling from time to time.
