Chapter 1: Hell Collects Souls
In the deep and quiet night sky, a red moon hangs on the edge of the sky, desolate, mysterious, lonely, lonely, warm, and resentful...... The beautiful silhouette exudes the misty moonlight, and a few stars next to it are intertwined with the night and watch over it.
The breeze blows, and the red moonlight caresses the earth, the peaks, the rivers, the trees, the flowers, through the gray mist...... Waving their wings and swaying in the wind, dancing ...... It's like a wonderful landscape painting, still there, making people fascinated and can't bear to disturb it.
The spiritual world always gives people a mysterious and unpredictable feeling. It lives with the night of the earth, and is the final destination for the human soul, and is often called "hell." ”
The spiritual realm is full of peaks and mountains, clear water like mirrors, ancient trees towering to the sky, lush, and vibrant, including some unknown species, like a planet that has never been set foot on by living beings.
Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, away from the glitz and glitz of the world, it may be difficult to find this pure land in the world.
It is hard to imagine that such a paradise has never been bathed in the sun, forever hiding in the shadow of the earth, accepting and feeding the soul of human beings, but no human beings have ever set foot in it, so human beings have been using their own imagination to depict this beautiful paradise for the soul.
Time is like a flood beast that sweeps everything away and gives the world a new beginning.
Human beings, who are busy every day, have never felt the preciousness of time, and it is not until the end of their lives that they suddenly look back and find that they have no trace of existence in this world except for faded memories. But in the end, when the memory also disappeared from the cold body, I realized that there was really nothing left in this world.
After the death of human beings, the soul is scattered in the world, and the night opens the door to the spiritual world, and the soul will involuntarily integrate into it in another form of life and be reborn.
However, in the process of human evolution, the souls of a very small number of people have also evolved, become extremely powerful, and are unwilling to leave, and then there will be guides in the human world, tempering their obsessions and bringing them into the spiritual world. If not, destroy it to avoid causing harm to the world.
This kind of people are very mysterious, no one knows where they came from and where they are going, and the world calls them "shadows." ”
Time passed, day and night alternated, and the spirit world was still quietly hiding in the night with the moonlight, and I don't know how long it existed.
……
It was another quiet night. In the middle of the spiritual world, the pink moonlight reflected a large swamp between the mountains crystal clear, like pearls splashed in the sky, worn together, hanging in the mountains, rendering this peak extremely beautiful.
In the sky, a red light flashed, intruding on the pleasant silence of the night.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
The figure jumped between the cliffs at great speed. With a final leap, it landed like a dragonfly on a swamp.
She shook off the dust on her body, and under her slightly furrowed brows, her clear eyes turned around, constantly scanning the surroundings, her upturned nose wrinkled together, sniffing something one by one.
In the blink of an eye, her small mouth made a beautiful arc towards a small puddle a hundred meters away from the left-hand side, and a row of neat white teeth and two shallow dimples suddenly appeared on her delicate face, and a feeling of relief spread throughout her body.
With one arrow step, she came to the edge of the puddle, which was five meters square, and the edge was overgrown with dense plants, which was unnoticeable.
The girl in red said to the puddle in front of her: "Don't hide, come out, I'll take you home." ”
The breeze blew through the puddles, but there was no movement. The girl in red was more like talking to herself.
As time passed, the wind gently blew through the ears of the girl in red, blowing her hair messy, and the red silk dress fluttered in the wind, showing her tall and graceful, exquisite.
The whole night sky turned silent, and she stood there like a stone sculpture, unmoved, quietly waiting.
Suddenly, there was a violent ripple on the surface of the water, and the stagnant water was violently stirred by something, shaking the clods and weeds on the edge of the pit and smashing them into the water.
Slowly, a column of water grew on the surface of the water.
The water column spun rapidly, soaring into the sky, splashing water droplets outward. Water droplets pierced the night sky like bullets, shooting wildly in all directions, as if they were going to destroy everything around them.
Seeing this, the woman in red raised her hands and made a mark on her chest, and in an instant, a pale red transparent film wrapped it in it, and water droplets splashed on the film, making a "zizi" sound, and instantly evaporated.
Some of the water droplets that flew by shot into the trees a hundred meters away, pierced through the trunks, and then broke down into countless smaller droplets and scattered out. Suddenly the leaves fell and the dust flew, and for a time the woods were filled with smoke and holes.
Such a deadly attack was lightly defused by the girl in red, which shows the horror of this girl. Then she greeted the droplets, walked to the edge of the puddle, and watched it all carefully.
As if knowing the gap in strength with the girl in red, after a period of churning, the water column in the center of the water surface was slowly falling and disappearing, and at this moment, a figure appeared on the water.
Although the girl in red had already expected this scene, she was secretly taken aback when she saw this scene, and muttered to herself, "How can this be? ”
After a moment of hesitation, the girl immediately took out the magic weapon that had been prepared for a long time-the soul collection bag, and without saying anything, she swept over, and her right hand pulled out a long black whip coiled around her waist, and with a flick of it, a faint white light shot directly into the soul bag in her left hand.
The puddle returned to calm, and the figure on the water disappeared.
"Mission accomplished." The girl's movements are clean and neat, and she doesn't give the figure on the water a chance to distinguish at all. She put away the long whip, picked up the soul bag, and let out a long breath, a relaxed look on her face.
Just took a few breaths, a silver scimitar galloped from the cliff hanging on the wall not far away, and the girl didn't even blink her eyes, standing in place with a calm expression.
The "squeak" flying knife pressed against the girl's protective cover, and before it could get any closer, it made a piercing sound, spinning and spun, splashing sparks in all directions.
The girl suddenly raised her head and shot at a thousand-year-old tree hanging on the cliff in front of her, and shouted, "Get out!" ”
The red light on the protective shield around her exploded, and the silver scimitar was instantly bounced up the cliff, slashing at the ancient tree.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the ancient tree the thickness of the water tank was split into pieces, and the entire blade was embedded in the cliff rock, leaving only the handle leaking out.
A smoky black shadow flew out of it, staggering and falling into a puddle in the swamp.
The man in black was so angry that he was a little dizzy, and he hurriedly stood up, "Kill!" With a scream, he rushed out with sparks still on his body, seemingly vowing to fight to the death with the girl in red, but just after running two steps, he found that there was not even a ghost in front of him.
The man in black was muttering in his heart, was he scared away by me, and he didn't know where he got his confidence.
"Hey~! The one with the smoke on his body, and the one in the back. The girl in red kindly reminded her, but she was also confused, thinking what kind of trouble was going on.
The face of the man in black suddenly became exciting, fortunately, under the dark night, his colorful face was covered, otherwise he could really teach people to learn to act and change his face.
The man in black stood in place, still smoking, and he didn't slow down for a long time.
"The sneak attack didn't succeed, and I was beaten by a little girl, and now it's still ...... I might as well have just crashed to death on a cliff. Alas~ It's embarrassing......" The man in black was restless in his heart, and he kept regretting his recklessness, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move the slightest.
"Cats and dogs dare to stand in the way, it's boring. Feed! Are you all right? I'm leaving. The girl in red shouted loudly with disdain, and inadvertently sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound of the man in black.
After adjusting his breathing, the man in black slowly turned around, only to see that he was tall and well-proportioned, with well-defined facial features, like a sculpture, and deep eyes, which looked even more unruly and ruthless.
At this time, with his smoking clothes and blackened face, this young cold man felt abrupt and funny, like a briquette that could not be touched by the damp.
"What do you think this is the place, come and go if you want! Those who know each other are not happy to be arrested obediently. The man in black calmed down and calmed down a little, but he couldn't recognize the situation and was ashamed.
"Did you get your head blown up? It's almost baked by me, and you're still caught? Are you alright, big brother? Just kidding, you have to have a bottom line, comrade rookie. The girl in red sneered and gloated.
"You, you... You're good, I remember you. The black-clothed young man gritted his teeth and said hatefully. Secretly thought to himself, if she didn't come up with a trick, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep her, and then immediately bit her finger and kept sketching something on the ground...
At a glance, the girl knew that the boy was unfamiliar with an ancient teleportation array pattern, and the mysterious huge formation pattern was obviously a little rusty for the young man to control, obviously he was forced to be in a hurry, or he wouldn't have lost his mind so much, and moved the rescuers with great fanfare.
She looked at the young man in black curiously, and said sarcastically, "What is this for?" If you can't beat it, you still hurt yourself, do you sympathize? True overseas Chinese love. The girl in red clasped her hands and watched the excitement on the side.
It was already a little difficult for the black-clothed young man to portray such a complex formation, and at this time, when he heard the girl's provocative words, his arm shook, and the golden light gradually flashed in the formation, and it suddenly flickered violently a few times, and it was obviously dimmed a little.
The girl in red stood aside and did not stop it, as if she was watching a circus performance, with a playful expression on her face.
The man in black was still bowing his head and drawing the circle seriously, and the slowly clear array pattern was golden and bright, revealing a mysterious energy. Large beads of sweat slipped down his forehead, and the urging voice of the girl in red came from time to time in his ears, "Can you hurry up!" "How long will it take?" "I'm off work!" "I'm sleepy!" …
With a crisp sound, the circle was finally drawn. The black-clothed young man quickly got up and stood in front of the formation, muttering something silently in his mouth, like a spell to open the talisman array.
Gradually, a sneer finally appeared on his face, and finally he roared: "Blood Spirit Summoning—Roaring Sky Dog!" ”
At the same time, the circular talisman array rose with a golden light that soared into the sky, and there was a violent vibration in the array, looming as if something had been transmitted.
At this time, the woman in red, who had been waiting for a long time on the other side and was yawning, had already known everything that was going to happen, and smiled at the young man in black with good intentions, and said, "I'm sorry, there is something at home, go first, goodbye!" ”
Immediately, he took out a space-time transformation spirit rune that had been prepared from his body and lit it, and a dazzling white light fell from the sky, shining directly at the girl, and then disappeared in place with the girl, and there were ashes of the burned spirit rune floating in the air.
Seeing this scene, the smug expression of the young man in black just now instantly froze, like a stone carved pestle there, motionless, and the surrounding air seemed to be evacuated in an instant, looking extremely dignified and weird.
In the teleportation array in front of the young man, the golden light gradually dimmed, and a behemoth shaped like a dog but with leopard prints and horns on its head appeared on the formation.
Unaware, the beast looked around, and after noticing any movement, its front paws the size of a bed board stepped forward, splashing the sky with muddy water, and the surrounding land shook with it. It slowly lowered its head, more than a man's height, its eyes as wide as lanterns, and let out a high-pitched roar at the man in black. Then the foul-smelling bloody mouth actually spat out a human voice, "How many times have I said it, don't bother me if it's not a big deal!" Also, if you dare to call me a dog in the future, I will bite you to death, Lao Tzu is a divine beast! After saying that, he gave the man in black a slap and rolled his eyes out of the sky, and he was about to run away.
Faced with this situation, the young man in black was also speechless, and he was embarrassed, he had no choice but to stand strong in place, silently accepting the waves of mud and saliva brought by the giant beast.
"Wait, old stinky feet." At this moment, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly came from a distance, calling the giant beast.
A white-bearded old man with a kind face, full of vicissitudes and a gray robe, walked out of the newly destroyed woods not far away, on crutches.
"Ahem~! Old monster, are you two making fun of me? Are you here and calling me? Seeing this person, the giant beast was obviously much more polite.
"Father, why are you here? When did it come? The young man in black came back to his senses at this time, and asked with a puzzled face.
The old man looked at the giant beast with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Foot, don't be surprised, the old man has indeed come a long time ago, and the spirit world has a guest, and I, as the master, naturally want to come and take a look." Don't blame him, it's really a bit dangerous just now, but that girl has already shown mercy, otherwise when this kid grinds and chirps and carves the formation pattern, people would have already killed him. ”
The old man turned to the young man in black again and continued: "Son, can you draw faster next time, I almost couldn't help jumping out to help you draw just now, I really can't stand it." Whitebeard was always smiling and looked at the young man in black with a little reproach.
"So, you came a long time ago, watching me being ravaged wantonly, and actually standing by and letting it go?" The young man in black seemed to have been stabbed again, gasping for breath and questioning his father.
"Hehe, that's a good point, this father is not qualified enough, staring at his son to suffer, there is no humanity at all." The giant beast is eating melons next to the masses, and the masses are not honest, for fear that the world will not be chaotic.
"Son, if I hadn't stood on the side just now, I guess you would have been crippled by others! Here, who doesn't know that you are my son, how dare anyone bully you, develop a stinky problem with you, always feel how amazing you are, there is a sky outside the sky, it is also a good thing for you to experience some setbacks, and you will suffer a big loss in the future! The white-bearded old man did have this intention, and at this time he took this opportunity to educate his son and open his eyes, this is a world full of unknowns, don't keep staring at the acres and thirds of land around you.
Although the young man in black was angry, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that his father's words had some truth, but he couldn't swallow this breath, and argued loudly: "Hmph, is that it?" Usually we go to the world to collect souls, but now there are people who come to our territory to act recklessly, I can't be angry! ”
The old man in white sighed and said, "Alas~ If I can stop her, will I hide in the dark and observe secretly?" She's much more powerful than you think, so let's stop here, no one is allowed to spread the word, and if I hear any rumors, hehe, I'll cut off its life. After speaking, he looked at the giant beast with a lewd smile, and there was a huge contrast with his kind face just now.
Sitting on the ground on the side, the smiling melon-eating mass giant beast "Roaring Sky Dog" listened, subconsciously lowered his head and said, "I protest!" Old monster, you are obviously engaged in racism, he is your son, if he spreads it, what should you do? ”
"Protests are ineffective! I'm here for the day. Old stinky feet, do you want to find a place to talk to me about life and ideals? The white-bearded old man glared at the beast with a slight menace.
Not to be outdone, the huge head of the giant beast looked at the bad old man who was thinner than one of his legs, and the moment their eyes collided, a huge sense of fear surged up in the giant beast's heart inexplicably, it hurriedly turned its head, snorted twice, and then stepped aside, not making a sound.
This is a world where strength is respected, and in terms of strength, he is indeed slightly inferior to the master of the spirit world. The skills are not as good as people, and the giant beast has no choice but to accept its fate.
After cleaning up the giant beast, the white-bearded old man began to preach carefully, "That, son, it's rare to be so idle today, let me tell you about the heroic deeds of my youth, I was not as cowardly as you when I was young, that's called a handsome ......"
The old man was about to talk, but was interrupted by the young man in black unreasonably: "Hmph! I went to practice. As soon as the voice fell, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ......" A few jumping black-clothed teenagers climbed the cliff to pick up the weapon that was shocked when they attacked the girl in red-Soul Breaking Knife.
"Eh~ It's okay, go back and practice more, so as not to be so miserable next time!" The white-bearded old man shouted in the direction of his son's escape.
The black-clothed young man who had just pulled out the Soul Breaking Knife heard that he had narrowly escaped from the cliff.
"Old stinky feet, I'm particularly interested today, I want to talk to you frankly about my life, talk about my past......" The white-bearded old man turned his attention to the giant beast again, and looked at him sincerely.
"Whoosh" didn't even speak, the giant beast used his life's work, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"I'll go! Even a worm will turn? The white-bearded old man rubbed his eyes, slightly surprised.
"Well, it's rude. But then again, things in this world are really unpredictable, and the world is unpredictable, so I hope today is a good start. The old man looked up at the night sky and said meaningfully.
