Chapter 334: The Underworld?
Yokai Valley......
Well, it's actually the huge canyon that you passed through to enter the demon battlefield three years ago, but this name was given by Pei Chen later, it's very simple and rude and easy to remember and understand, and the location is not far from Inabayama Castle -
Although it used to be a distance that he needed half a day's journey to cross, now for Pei Chen's mobility, it was really just 'not far away'. If it weren't for www.biquge.info fact that the spatial nodes there seemed to be hidden, and the nearby spatial structure was also unstable, it would only take him two or three seconds to be able to jump through continuously.
But after all, it's still an extremely weird and scary place, and you can't just be careless.
Even the ancient battlefield where ordinary people have been killed and injured by thousands of people in a row will be regarded as an ominous place and a place of great evil, so how fierce will it be to fight countless battlefields where demons and demons have fallen in pieces?! Don't you just dig a pit and bury a person, and after tens or hundreds of years, you can raise a drought?!
It's no joke, it's a great place to keep corpses.
What's more, not only is the temperature of that ghost place terrifyingly low, all the energy and heat have been extracted, and even time has been stopped, as long as you cross that clearly defined limiting line, as if you have passed through the realm of darkness, you will suddenly leave the long river of time in this world and go directly back to three years ago...... The bodies of many demons have not yet cooled, and the blood is still hot, as if they have only been killed for a short time.
Not only did countless thousands of demons die there, directly destroying the inhuman era, but even the six-star demon Nine-Tails who had to fight against him when he died all fell there—at the hands of another, more powerful inhuman being.
If the other shards of the Killing Stone were not isolated after 500 years due to the problem of uniqueness, then the truly isolated area in this Warring States period is the most likely. In addition, Pei Chen really couldn't think of any other suspicious locations, and the former ghost also recommended him to do so with a subtle face.
So Pei Chen came here very simply.
Of course, it's three days after the redemption time starts.
In the past three days, Pei Chen has done a lot of things, all of which are trivial things that seem to him to be a waste of time, such as meeting with Saito Guidie, arguing with Saito Michizo, and friendly exchanges with many retainers and nobles of the Imagawa clan who have their own ghosts.
However, there are some things that need to be done, such as obtaining various information about the hidden world from the former ghosts, as a precautionary plan. After all, there is always an exception to everything, and that place is so weird, Pei Chen doesn't dare to make sure that he can really control everything.
According to the former ghost, the legend of that place is the border of the hidden world, and after crossing the range of the battlefield and going in the right direction, you can directly enter the world of youkai. But after all, the border is a former demon battlefield, that is, it is separated from the territory of the present world and has its own system, as long as you have the heart, you may not be able to find the law.
In addition, it is still at the junction of the human world and the other side, which is equivalent to being sandwiched between the human world and the ghost world, so that there are two reference points in the general direction that can be compared, as long as there is this corresponding knowledge reserve and technical means, even if you fall into the netherworld, it is not that there is no path to turn back.
The Land of Fire is a great way to do this.
But don't get me wrong, it's just the same name, at least Pei Chen hasn't been able to find clues about Konoha Village anywhere, which fundamentally puts an end to the possibility of the Hokage getting in. The Land of Fire is just one of the spatial nodes connecting the human world to the other side, and it is also a well-known node, because a gate to the underworld is set up in that place, and it is guarded by the messenger of the Nether.
The Land of Fire is the name of a country and a domain name, just like the former Western Kingdom.
In this land, there are many heroes, princes compete for hegemony, the system is very chaotic, any simple city can be called the lord of a city and a country, the so-called country is large and small. Countries such as Echigo and Musashi are just normal, and when you hear the name, you can tell that they are countries ruled by humans, and in addition to this, there are areas such as Nishikoku that were once ruled by youkai.
The Western Kingdom used to be a region ruled by the ocelot clan, but it was replaced by the canine demon clan after the ocelot lord's own side was killed by the rising star Dou Tooth King Dog General. Maybe it's because of the problem of feng shui or some other factor, it is said that even the dragon bone spirit and the big monster flying demon moth from the mainland have fought the idea of the western country, and it is precisely for this reason that the two big monsters will inexplicably anal with the king of fighting teeth.
The Land of Fire is like this, it is said that it was once ruled by a great youkai or a powerful demon clan, but then it gradually fell into disuse for unknown reasons, the earth cracked, the magma gushed out, and at the same time a terrible active volcano rose from the ground - yes, it was the Inuyasha who wanted to enter the scorching hell at the junction of this world and the other world through the gate guarded by the Minota-faced face.
……
……
Pei Chen easily refound the correct path to enter according to the memory of the last time, and stepped over the thick white mist.
He originally wanted to touch the bottom of this place, but he found that his spiritual power was suppressed by some kind of prohibition, not to mention, after it was emitted, it was almost completely impossible to detect the edge, and the gravitational silk thread that was greatly inferior in exploration accuracy but greatly improved in exploration range was even more the same, and it seemed that the deeper he extended, the more he felt his own insignificance and powerlessness.
It's almost like exploring a real world, and the gravitational silk or spiritual silk thread attached to the perception force is far from being able to explore the end in the dense fog, as if the opposite side is endless, without boundaries. The general context of another world, which is vast and boundless, not inferior to the present world, slowly unfolded in Pei Chen's imagination.
This made Pei Chen feel very strange and puzzled.
He stopped and tried not to stick to his original sense of direction, but tentatively turned in a random direction, and then walked slowly forward. It stands to reason that his move should be meaningless, after all, the scope of that demon battlefield is too big, just passing through a dense fog that is no more than a kilometer long, no matter what, he will still walk directly out of that battlefield.
At most, it's just that the location when you go out is a deviation.
But Pei Chen always felt that it was not that simple, so he simply tried to make such a small change according to his own ideas, anyway, it was just a change of direction, no big deal.
Then, the results were very different.
At the moment when the white fog dissipated, what appeared in front of Pei Chen was not the Silent Hill nor the battlefield where the corpses were strewn with demon blood, but the steep cliff that was directly empty under his feet, and at the same time, the spiritual power that had been suppressed by the invisible force was very hard, and suddenly there was a relaxed feeling of unloading the burden, and it exploded in an instant, directly sweeping everything within a radius of dozens of miles, and at the same time converting the obtained information into a three-dimensional image into Pei Chen's mind.
Originally, because he fell directly and had nowhere to focus, Pei Chen, who subconsciously wanted to condense the wall of power under his feet, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly felt that something was bumped under his feet, and a huge bird with almost only a skeleton left flew out of the mountain peaks below to catch him, a visitor from another world.
Raising the arm of the flashing cyan demonic power light high, he also stopped, and did not smash the head of the big bird that only had the bones left in the next second, because Pei Chen did not feel any hostility or murderous aura, more precisely, he did not feel any existential aura on the body of the air mount under him, there was no soul and no consciousness, just a trace of instinctive action.
The hunting wind blew down the wide cyan sleeves, revealing the white arms and the cyan snake patterns coiled on them, but Pei Chen didn't pay attention to this aspect, but instead began to try to control the flight speed and direction of the corpse bird, and by the way, he wanted to see what the world below was like.
To be honest, he didn't expect such a change at all, which completely caught him off guard. I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped out of the range of the dense fog, I actually fell down directly, without the slightest defense.
When he thought about it, he suddenly sighed in his heart, and subconsciously looked up at the sky, he didn't see the thick fog, he didn't see the white clouds, not even the so-called blue sky, there was only that gray-white infinitely distant dead and silent abyss, for a moment he almost thought that the heaven and the earth were reversed, and he was now actually riding a corpse bird flying under his head and feet, and below him was the sky, and above his head was an endless abyss.
"I'll go, it's a big trouble now......"
He grinded his teeth, and saw the strange and dangerous peaks of uneven heights below, which seemed to be all strange rocks, and could not see a trace of green, but could faintly see a white mist lingering between the peaks, dotted with black spots of various sizes, which looked like some deep cavern or the lair of some creature.
And just three or four kilometers to his left stood the immensely majestic corpse, larger than any of the surrounding peaks, and though it wore mighty and strange armor, its head was in the shape of a slender and huge canine, and its tusks were even greater than some of them.
This should have been a very shocking scene, but Pei Chen just twitched the corners of his mouth and sighed that he was in big trouble: "...... Originally, it was to prevent accidentally falling into the underworld that I delayed these few days, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as I came in, and I fell directly into the other side......"
Of course, he knew this place, wasn't it the burial place of Inuyasha's father, King Douya? I still remember when I was an ordinary junior high school student, I felt the shock when I saw the scene of the anime for the first time - how huge and invincible this monster was when it revealed its original form before its death?
It's definitely the kind of ruthless stubble that kills others so much that they don't dare to come forward.
And in fact, the successive defeats or seals of big monsters such as the Flying Demon Moth, the Ocelot Lord, and the Dragon Bone Spirit seem to confirm this, and a dog demon has almost suppressed the entire Warring States Period. Although according to the information that Pei Chen had, in the end, this guy was unable to challenge the top big monster or even the demon king-level existence for various regretful reasons, but there is no doubt that this guy does have that kind of qualification.
"It's really troublesome now, I didn't expect those white mist to be the dividing line, and it will be a problem to deviate a little bit......" Pei Chen rubbed his eyebrows and muttered to himself, while controlling the corpse bird to quickly approach the huge corpse of the dog demon.
Imagawa Yoshimoto also sent someone to search the Yokai Valley, but found nothing. She definitely wouldn't lie to herself in this regard, so there was only one conclusion, as a person of common sense, generally speaking, she would not notice anything unusual, even if the path was obviously placed at the end of the canyon, even if the thick white fog in the road was very conspicuous, but those ordinary people were stunned and could not find it.
"Well, no, this is probably the place where this world meets the other...... Didn't reach the Netherworld ......"
I felt the rich death qi contained in the air, but there was no concept of 'reincarnation', 'yellow spring', 'reincarnation' and so on, and it was not at all like the environment that the Yin Si Realm should have. Or although there is such a conceptual aura, but that aura is in an incomparably distant distance, Pei Chen's heart moved and came to his senses.
This should still be the Junction, not the real Underworld.
It is said that many large yokai like to place their remains in this place after death...... Or they can't say they like it, just because if they don't do it, there will be basically no suitable cemetery for them in the real world, and to put it bluntly, there is no choice. Pei Chen couldn't imagine what kind of impact such a giant beast corpse would have on human civilization after it was excavated five hundred years later.
To be honest, he is more worried about the murderous nature of modern people, such as discovering traces of surreal existence and tracking down the netherworld country of the dead step by step...... If those modern people find out that there is oil in this place, the joke will be bigger.
As he pondered, he had already sat on the corpse bird and approached the 'mountain' - more magnificent and majestic than all the surrounding natural landscapes, what could it be said if it wasn't a 'mountain'?! And even if it has been dead for more than two hundred years, the momentum of the corpse itself is still beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At this time, countless sounds of breaking the sky struck!
The shiny diamonds as sharp as the shuttle were like dense raindrops, and in an instant, they enveloped all the routes and spaces in all directions, and they were about to shoot Pei Chen down from the air on the spot......
