"Don't look back on Huangquan Road, step on the bridge abutment and forget this life......"

The witch looked straight ahead of the road, and by this time, the scene around her had been completely detached from the world, as if it were exactly the same as the road she remembered.

"Hold my hand and don't let go!" said the witch solemnly, stretching out her hand.

Bai Nian still had a lot of doubts in his heart, but when he grabbed the witch's hand, he didn't know what to say, and all his thoughts were left behind.

It was the first time he had held the witch's hand, and even the first time he had touched the skin of the woman who had been with him for several years, and who was also a teacher and friend.

The touch coming from the hand is unique, it should be a very small hand, with a hint of coolness. There is not much flesh on the hands, and the bones can be felt through the smooth skin, but the palms of the hands have a rough callus, which should have been sharpened by years of sword-wielding.

It was such a hand, and after grasping it tightly, it made Bai Nian feel extremely relieved, and it no longer made him feel scared on this weird and gloomy path of the Nine Shadows.

Speaking of which, since Bai Nian stepped into the martial arts, he has always been alone, and he will not be too afraid in the face of all kinds of strong enemies and dangers, just because...... There was always a witch behind him.

Such a woman who lived 10,000 years ago once made the entire Six Realms tremble, and the world was in awe of her murderous name, calling it a murderous disaster. But for Bai Nian, the witch has always given him the feeling that she is a black-bellied, free-spirited, domineering little witch.

Even now, for Bai Nian, the closest and most knowledgeable person in the world is the witch!

"Let's go!" Bai Nian clasped the witch's hand tightly, and then took a step forward, his eyes were extremely sharp at that moment.

Ahead is the place where the dead are gone, the place where the living fear the most, but even so he is not afraid.

The witch couldn't help but look at him with some trepidation, but she could only see the back of her head.

The two of them kept pacing on this road, and they didn't know how much time had passed, and finally reached the end of the road.

At the end of the road, two huge statues stand on either side.

"Bull head and horse face?" Bai Nian looked at the two statues, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.

The two statues, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face, both have hideous and terrifying faces, with a lock wrapped around one hand and an iron hook in the other. It's like the two famous ghosts in secular mythology, bull head and horse face.

"There won't be a Hades in this hell, right?" Bai Nian sneered.

"Hades doesn't, but ......" The witch said this and didn't say anything more, and hung Bai Nian's appetite greatly.

"That's right!" Bai Nian remembered something big in a trance.

"Didn't I go to stop that demon woman from snatching the Demon Emperor's inheritance?Lin Yu is still waiting for me to get the Reflecting World Demon Core to save my life!" Bai Nian suddenly felt a huge horror.

"You're an afterthought. The witch said.

"What's going on?Why didn't I have any impression just now, just like ......" Bai Nian couldn't say that feeling, he was obviously going to save Lin Yu, but he came here inexplicably, and there was an extremely strange impulse in his heart, which instructed him to come to this hell step by step.

It's as if if you don't come here and you're missing something important, and if you miss it, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!

"In the midst of hell there is a prophecy called Return...... Anyone who steps in, even with half a foot, will involuntarily go into the depths, as if fate had already ...... predestined," the witch said meaningfully, "Let's go! It is impossible for us to go back now, and we can only return to the world through another path in the depths of hell." Now that you're here, you might as well go inside and check it out. ”

"Moreover, whether your companions can be revived this time depends on whether there is a chance in this hell......"

Bai Nian was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by the resurrection of the companion spirit?"

The witch glanced at him, then asked, "Do you know how the companion spirit came to be?"

"Hmm...... It is said that when the soul enters hell and dies, the things from hell that come out of hell come to this world along with the soul when it is reborn. The awakening of the companion spirit is often when the host is on the verge of death, when the host's soul feels the existence of hell and at the same time feels the existence of the companion spirit......"

"That's right. The witch nodded, "The Nine Paths, the River Styx, and the Hell...... Any king soul stepping into this place has a high chance of being contaminated with something, and these things will become so-called companion spirits after being reincarnated with the host. ”

"So, after my companion blood lotus is damaged, I can only return to hell to recover?" Bai Nian then understood why the witch brought herself to this hell.

After all, this lifeless ghost place is a gathering place for the dead in the entire Six Realms, if it weren't for the restoration of the companion spirits, how could the witch have left the world in good place and come here?

Of course, if Bai Nian knew what the witch really thought in her heart, she would never be so easy, and she would definitely be terrified.

"The karmic fire red lotus flower blooms in the deepest part of hell, and the souls of the average deceased can't even reach there, let alone pluck it. I'm a little curious about your past life, boy, are you also interested?" the witch looked at Bai Nian with a smile, and a bad feeling rose in Bai Nian's heart.

"Let's go!" this time the witch took the lead.

Passing through the sculpture of the bull head and horse face, the path of the Nine Shadows is over, and then the real hell is next!

The whole world is extremely empty, but there are only eerie tones here, black, blood, and cyan are blended, so that what should be a huge space gives people a sense of extreme crampedness.

"Where are we going?" Bai Nian suddenly felt a little creepy, although there seemed to be nothing around, but in those unknown darkness, it gave people a sense of horror, as if there were some demons and monsters hidden there.

Moreover, there are still rules in this hell that there is no turning back. So, Bai Nian, who was walking behind, always wondered if there would be something behind him, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his neck.

As a monk, he shouldn't have been afraid of these strange powers, after all, the so-called ghosts are just some demons and demons who have attained the Tao in their eyes. However, at this time, Bai Nian deeply felt a fear of being a mortal, which reminded him of when he lived in Bai Village when he was a child.

At that time, he was only about ten years old, and one day he went hunting with several uncles, but all the adults died at the hands of a demon beast. And he escaped by hiding in a cave, but the night he lived in the cave caused a great panic in his young mind like a nightmare.

Dark...... Darkness enveloped him everywhere on all sides, hunger, loneliness, cold, and the blood and carnage he had seen during the day as if standing still.

And in that painful night, even if he was extremely sleepy, he did not dare to relax in the slightest. His eyes widened to see everything, his ears pricked up to hear everything. However, any disturbance around him is nothing but a trembling shadow, like a ghost about to move!

"What's wrong?" the witch felt a little strange about Bai Nian.

"No... It's nothing!" Bai Nian recovered from his memories, but he didn't realize that the witch had stopped.

So, this step stepped forward and hit the witch directly.

Naturally, the witch didn't fall down so weakly, and Bai Nian didn't press it down, after all, it was impossible for such a bloody thing to happen in this hell where there was no turning back.

"You're not scared, are you?" teased the witch.

"How is that possible!" Bai Nian denied.

However, in the next moment, the witch suddenly stretched out her hand back, and struck Bai Nian's forehead with a flick of her fingers, causing him to scream in pain.

A large bag soon bulged up on his forehead at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Bai Nian, who was already extraordinary, would not feel pain from this kind of injury, and even this bag would not have come out. But I don't know what kind of means the witch used to make him feel the pain in the heart, and this big bag is not something that the blood spirit can eliminate at all.

"Why are you beating me again!" Bai Nian said dissatisfiedly.

"You just bumped into me, this is a!" said the witch angrily.

"You!" Bai Nian wanted to say that he didn't mean it just now, who called the witch to stop suddenly. But he felt that it was a difficult thing to reason with this arrogant and unreasonable woman now, and the witch clearly wanted to knock him on the finger.

After this little episode, Bai Nian was no longer afraid of this deep hell, he grabbed the witch's hand and continued to walk forward.

"It's only the first layer of hell now......"

"Could it be that there really are eighteen layers of hell?" Bai Nian asked.

"No, there are nineteen floors. The witch said lightly.

"Nineteen floors?" Bai Nian was a little surprised.

"The number of people who have been to the last floor is probably not more than a handful of them throughout the ages. Although I had only been to the eighteenth layer at most in my previous life, I knew that the nineteenth layer was absolute......! Hidden from the entire Six Realms of Ten Thousand Souls, from Chaos to Flood Desolation, to the most terrifying secrets of this world and even the future!" the witch said suddenly and heavily.

"This ...... So how many layers are we going to now?" Bai Nian felt a little palpitating, he always felt that the witch had come to Hell this time for the nineteenth floor. After all, with the witch's unafraid nature, she may really want to go!

"Nineteenth Floor...... Forget it, it's too terrifying there, even if I went in my heyday, I would die a lot. The witch said helplessly.

"What?" Bai Nian was afraid of seeing a domineering witch for the first time.

"The Karmic Fire Red Lotus is at the sixteenth layer, but we only need to get a piece of spirit refining soil. And the spirit refining soil is below the seventh layer, so let's go to the seventh layer first to help you recover the associated spirits. ”

Bai Nian didn't know much about this spiritual refining soil, but he thought that it should be the soil for the cultivation of the karmic fire red lotus.

Hell is an interesting place to go to the oil pot on the third level and the fire on the fourth level to refine your soul. There is also the Nine Nether River that runs through the entire hell, and the stagnant water in it can promote the evolution of your mind......" The witch smiled slightly, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth, although Bai Nian didn't see it, he could still remember the witch's expression every time she wanted to torture him.

"I said, Sister Witch ......"

Before Bai Nian finished speaking, she was interrupted by the witch, she seemed to remember something, and then said with some excitement: "There is still ...... I'm a little curious about who you were in your previous life, hehe!"
