Chapter 36: Old Friends of the Underworld

Sambo turned around slowly, and felt a heat in his heart. The soul of a Kuomintang soldier stood behind him, saluting him with a standard military salute. His face was wrinkled, and he looked at his fifty-year-old face, although he was already a soul, but he exuded a convincing serenity.

San Bao smiled and nodded, this time he didn't dare to return the salute at will, the etiquette between soldiers, ordinary people like him should be cautious.

"I know you...... We all know you...... Sambo. ”

"This is Overlord Ridge? You are those soldiers...... No, the hero ......" Sambo became a little excited.

"Overlord Ridge...... This is our home...... Heroes are not counted, they are just doing their duty for their family and country...... Come out, brothers, Brother Sambo has come to see us. ”

As soon as the sound cleared, many humanoid mists rose from the dark ground. Soon they converged and took shape. The souls of hundreds of Kuomintang soldiers and Japanese soldiers appeared before Sambo's eyes.

"Salute!" With an order, many souls brushed to the Three Treasures in unison with slightly different styles of military salutes.

"Rite over!" The souls neatly lowered their arms and stood straight around the Three Jewels.

"I'm just a normal person, why are you doing this to me...... Ceremonious? Sambo couldn't help but ask.

"We died here, but no one knew we existed, and the world had forgotten about this battle. Only you, meet us, remember us, we don't seek to establish any great feats, only to the world to look back...... Enough. The old soldier sighed in his chest.

“…… What shall I call you...... ...... you guys," Sambo asked hesitantly.

"I'm the sergeant major here, and they all called me Lao Ma when I was alive. They are all my comrades......" said with a smile.

"Old horse. And so are they? Sambo asked, pointing to the Japanese soldiers around him.

"Well, we were enemies when we were alive, but now we get along very well, everyone is our own master, but we all have the same goal in mind...... Victory...... They defend, we attack. Dead, buried together, be a good brother. What's more, we all have a common enemy here. The old horse explained.

"A common enemy? Aren't they evil spirits! I just saw them devouring other souls, what about those people, what about you? Sambo asked anxiously.

"Hmph, it's those evil spirits who are afraid of us...... When we are alive, we are soldiers, and when we die, we are war spirits. If the evil spirit dares to come, make sure that it will not return. How similar it is to the world, the big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. Those evil spirits specialize in devouring the souls of ordinary people, and soldiers like us, they dare not do anything. After eating the soul, their bodies will not shrink and disappear, but they can only last for a while, and then they need to continue to eat, ......endlessly" The old horse smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly became grim, and he continued: "We are afraid of other things, they are more evil and powerful than evil spirits. But they mostly live in a very far border of yin and yang, evil spirits eat human souls, and they specialize in colluding with the wicked people in the world, they absorb the souls of the living, I heard the souls of a long time ago, those monsters are called evil spirits, I don't know what to call them in the world, but evil spirits devour evil spirits, and evil spirits devour evil spirits and ghosts, as for human souls like us in the netherworld, I'm afraid it's not enough for them to stuff their teeth......"

Sanbao listened to Lao Ma's words, his brain was a little insufficient, he used the most calm thinking to understand Lao Ma's words, and still felt that this world was too terrifying.

Perhaps it was the soul of the old horse that saw the fear in Sanbao's heart, he smiled indifferently and stepped forward: "Sanbao, in fact, what should be worried is us, we have been dead here for more than seventy years, and our souls will disappear by themselves one day, and you are not an ordinary person, you have something they are afraid of." I can feel that, at least here, I don't think anything evil will dare to provoke you, except for an overly strong opponent. ”

"Disappear? Where will you go? ”

"You know, Sambo. It's an eye-opener when we're dead, and it's a real world, but we living people can't feel it, and there's nothing new to test it. But I have seen many human souls stay here for a short time, and the last of them slowly extinguish like candles. They completely disappeared from this world. There is no rule on the length of stay, perhaps it has something to do with the wishes and grievances in the heart before death, and the souls who have no worries stay for the shortest time, and they are the happiest. But since then...... Without body, without soul, without memory, the world will not leave a single thing about them, and neither will we...... Moreover, I think that day is not far off us......" The old horse's voice was full of sadness.

"I will find a way to let the government find you and set up a monument for you, so that people will know about your existence." Sambo's tone was firm.

"It's useless, the Japanese planted explosives in the mountains back then, and they blew up half of the mountain, and our brothers and their people were buried under this mountain, and it was impossible to dig them out. Even if you know we're there, there's no way to convince anyone else ......"

"There will always be a way, there will always be a way...... there is a hint of melancholy in Sanbao's voice.

"Sanbao, this is not a place for living people after all, don't come here if you have nothing to do, there will be danger. There are whirlpools and traps everywhere in this dark underworld, and if you suck it in, you don't know if you can get out in this life. In addition, there are many evil spirits and demons...... God knows what else is here...... If you do, even if you have a spirit body, it's hard to say whether you can survive the danger safely, go back to the Three Treasures. The old horse reminded in a serious voice.

"Okay, I should go back too, then I have nothing to do to come and see you, and by the way, I am learning about the underworld."

After Sanbao finished speaking, he turned around and went down the mountain, and before he took two steps, he suddenly thought of something, and quickly turned back and asked, "Old Ma, I want to ask you something...... Do you know how the child in this secret tunnel died? ”

When Lao Ma heard this, his eyes revealed a look of horror, and the souls of the soldiers around him were immediately frightened into the fog and disappeared.

"What's the matter, old horse? Do you know anything? Sambo was a little puzzled.

"Hey, Sambo, that person has a powerful evil force, when he came, none of us dared to show our heads, we were really afraid." The old horse's soul trembled, and the transparent body shook a little.

"People!? There's someone else here besides me! Sambo shouted in horror.

The old horse looked around cautiously and motioned for Sambo to squat down. He lowered his voice and told Sambo: "Yes, there are other people besides you who can enter and exit the underworld, and the underworld is big and small, connected as one, and there are obstacles between each other, but there are also passages. Some people can go in and out of different underworlds at will, and there are many people in this world who can do it besides you. But in this underworld, I have only seen a few people, but he is not like you good people, he is the devil, the evil spirit is his dog, the evil spirit is his servant, and the evil spirit is as vulnerable to him as a bedbug. I just watched as he took the kid's body and soul with him. ”

"In which direction did he go?" Sambo asked.

"He came from that place, riding a spirit, but I couldn't see his face...... I don't even dare to look at it. Lao Ma pointed in the direction of Sanqing City, where the faint lights were like a ghostly ghost in the night. The living people who can enter this world have their own entrances and exits, and most of these entrances and exits are places where souls have been in contact for a long time, and it is possible for you to enter here through the messages they transmit if you are in regular contact with any souls. I didn't expect that person to be able to tame evil spirits, he was simply a devil! Sambo, be careful. ”

"I will, it's time for me to go, I'll see you later"

"Wait...... Brothers are out! The old horse beckoned to the war spirits.

Hundreds of war spirits gathered around the Three Treasures, waiting for the old horse to give orders.

"We don't have much time to stay in the world, and it doesn't make much sense to spend it here, Sanbao, we give you some of the spirit body of the war spirit, if you go out of the underworld, the ordinary evil spirit will smell your war spirit breath, and they will fear you for three points. In the world, there are also evil spirits with ill intentions, and I hope that at that time, our courage can also help you......"

"No, I took your spirits, so what are you going to do, you're going to be gone!" The three treasures waved their hands again and again.

"Not for the time being, we are a unit, we can give some from everyone, and the rest is enough. Instead of waiting here endlessly, it is better to do something, you and I are fated to cherish each other. ”

After that, the souls of hundreds of warriors surrounded them, and the soul of the old horse and the body of the three treasures were tightly integrated. Then the blue spirits in their bodies appeared faintly in the air, gradually converging towards the Three Jewels, blending with the blue fire in the Three Jewels' chests, and then spreading violently, filling their bodies along every vein and muscle of the Three Jewels.

In an instant, the enlarged spirit body lit up the surroundings, and in an instant, it shrank into the chest of the Three Treasures, turning into a transparent sphere that emitted blue light, like a diamond illuminated by something inside, shining with multicolored electricity, and then fell silent, leaving only the same blue spark as before.

Sanbao said goodbye to the war spirits and walked to the funeral home under the mountain. From an underworldly perspective, each room and interior structure is blended together and needs to be carefully separated. Sambo positioned the location of the incinerator, held his breath a little, and the blue crystal on his chest pierced out a blue light, creating a blue vortex in the darkness, and the vortex gradually expanded, turning into a hole.

Sambo burrowed into the blue black hole and returned to the physical world in the blink of an eye. Then, the passage gradually shrank, and suddenly, a scrawny ghost hand suddenly protruded from the center of the shrunken black hole. A terrifying, beastly roar emanates from the black hole. Immediately after, the head of an evil spirit stretched out along the passage, roaring at the Three Treasures, the yin wind came to the face, and in the huge black mouth, there was another small evil spirit head that was also grinning. Sambo recognized this evil spirit, the abominable guy who was the leader when he first came in.

"Die!"

Sanbao exerted a little force in his abdomen, and his palm was subconsciously raised. The talisman spirit emitted a dazzling blue light, and the palm raised by the three treasures pierced into the evil spirit's mouth like a sharp sword. The evil spirit howled in pain, its claws clawing in the air. Immediately after, the blue light exploded in the evil spirit's skull like a small grenade, and after a cloud of smoke dissipated, the evil spirit and the underworld passage disappeared.

"Holy. Sambo, what are you doing! ”

Sambo turned his head suddenly, and his heart couldn't help but thump.

"Oops, found out!"
