Chapter Twenty-Eight: What I Saw and Heard
It is said that after the Yin Lord left the Huo family, he used the escape technique to go to a far place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He appeared next to an empty road, surrounded by desolation. Of course, this was not his destination, but the place he was going to was far away, and he couldn't reach it all at once. It's just a pause in between.
It is already approaching the end of the year, and the annual Spring Festival has begun, and there are vehicles everywhere, rushing to home. However, due to the remoteness of the area, there are very few vehicles passing by.
After a slight pause, the Yin Lord used his escape technique again and disappeared again.
He was not familiar with the place, but he only moved forward with a slight impression, which inevitably led him to many detours. Fortunately, he was able to find it quickly enough to use the Escape Technique, and he finally found a place before it got dark.
It's a lush meadow, a canvas-like dark green that stretches far into the distance, exalting life on a bitter winter day.
Standing on the edge of the green, the Yin Lord took a deep breath of the air here, but what rushed into his nose was a fresh breath mixed with decay. The mixture of these two extremes gives a very uncomfortable feeling, as if something very bad is lurking ahead.
In fact, the Yin Lord didn't want to come here, because the aura here made him very uncomfortable, but because of the speculation in his heart, he had to come and check it out. Now, instead of wishing that Jingguo would not be here.
Slowly stepping into this meadow, the Yin Lord felt that he was out of place in this space, where the air, light, and even dust were rejecting his entry. The more he walked inside, the more resistance he felt.
As a person who has struggled on the verge of life and death, the Yin Lord is very sensitive to the aura around him, he can feel the light here flickering on and off, and the aura of life and death is intertwined here and then becomes chaotic, like the intersection of the yang world and the underworld.
In fact, it is not wrong to say this, because this is originally the place that leads to the underworld, that is, the place where Xun Yan and Bu Tianliu and others came before, the Yin and Yang Well.
For the Yin and Yang Realm of Life and Death, if there is a lake in this world that is famous but extremely difficult to think of, it is only here. The Yin Lord only thought of this place very abruptly, and then felt that the homonym of the name Yin Yang Well was somewhat similar to that of Jingguo, so he suspected this place.
Building a secret place in the Yinyang Well sounds really a bit unbelievable, after all, the laws of life and death here are chaotic and blended, and a terrible accident will occur if you are not careful. But thinking about that adult's madness and forceful methods, the Yin Lord felt that this was not an impossible thing.
He tried his best to conceal his breath and slowly approached the direction of the Yin-Yang Well. It was getting dark by this time, and something might happen in such a place after dark, and he had to find out as soon as possible.
Feeling that it was almost there, the Yin Lord opened the Heavenly Eye and looked ahead.
Under the dim sky, a large lake with a gray aura appeared in front of the Yin Lord, and a quaint stone tablet stood silently aside. Just like the easy divination, this lake is very quiet, the huge lake does not have a trace of waves, and the color of the lake is pitch black, which is also in line with what she said.
Smelling the indescribable power contained beneath the calm surface of the lake, the Yin Lord frowned slightly. Now that all the conditions seem to be met, the next thing to do is to go to the bottom of the lake and check it out.
But getting to the bottom of the lake is not an easy task. This lake contains the power of the rules of life and death, and it is the passage between the two worlds of yin and yang. If you want to go to the bottom of the lake, you need to do a little preparation.
Reciting a mantra silently, the Yin Lord formed a handprint with both hands, and the whole person slowly floated to the surface of the lake. Glancing at the inky lake, he took a deep breath, closed his five senses, and temporarily shut down all the functions of his body.
After sealing the five senses, the spell he used had no mana support, and his body fell into the lake in an instant.
There was no splash, no ripples, and the surface of the water was like a big mouth, swallowing the Yin Lord into his stomach at once.
Unlike Bu Tianliu and the others who stepped into the underworld in one step before, the Yin Lord was like falling into a real lake, and his body began to slowly fall. From the human world to the underworld, the Yin-Yang Well can only teleport things with the breath of a living person to the underworld, and an existence that is no different from a dead person after sealing the function like the Yin Lord can only sink to the bottom of the water and slowly decay.
When he slowly sank in the water for a distance, the Yin Lord, who had pinched the time, regained control of his body, and the whole person recovered. He did not rush to the bottom of the water, but silently waited for the natural descent to the bottom of the lake, taking a look at the situation around him.
Because of the lake, it has been completely isolated from sunlight since the existence of the Yinyangjing. Although he had already used a spell to isolate himself from the water of the Yin Yang Well in time when he was revived, he could still smell an indescribable unpleasant smell. This is a real dead realm that is even lonelier than the Stygian Sea, and if it weren't for the existence of the Mirror Country, there would be no change here for about tens of thousands of years.
fluttering and shaking, it took about two minutes before the Yin Lord slowly sank to the bottom of the Yin and Yang Well.
It seems to have returned to the time when I was in the place of death, and I stepped on solid ground and couldn't see anything around, but fortunately, because of the characteristics of the Yin-Yang Well, I didn't feel any water pressure resistance here. Even if the Yin Lord has great magical powers, he can't see things here, and can only rely on perception to grope little by little.
He hasn't had a good rest in the past few days, and his body has already been a little unbearable after being tired from running around for so long. However, with superhuman willpower, he still opened his bloodshot eyes and searched carefully with a strong fighting spirit.
Fortunately, he didn't come in vain this time, and he didn't wander under the water for long before a looming magic circle appeared in his perception.
Seeing that his efforts had come to fruition, the Yin Lord's mood suddenly improved a lot, and even the fatigue in his body was a little less. He slowly approached the circle.
Probably too confident in the location of the hiding, there were no early warnings and defenses in the vicinity of the circle, which saved the Yin Lord a lot of effort.
Placing his hand on top of the circle, the Yin Lord emitted his powerful perception and easily broke through the protection of the circle.
His perception is like his second pair of eyes, bringing him into the mirror country with a unique perspective.
It's a dream-like place. Underneath and above, there is a field of light and shadow that looks illusory but exists in solidity. The mirror country is like the colorful piece of the reflective point when the sun shines on the mirror, extremely gorgeous but very uncomfortable, and the people of the three major families are hidden in such a space.
Compared to this space itself, the residences of the three major families seem to be more normal. They spent a great deal of manpower and material effort to bring in bricks and tiles to build shelter here, and because there was no rain or snow here, the houses were very simple.
It can be clearly seen that the people here are not comfortable, and it can even be said that they are very aggrieved, but this is the end of failure to provoke trouble. They can only cower here, secretly hibernating, in order to make a comeback.
It's time to finish eating, and there are not many people on the so-called streets of the country of mirrors, and everyone is filling their stomachs in their humble rooms, while looking forward to the day when they can walk out of here. Because there were so many houses here, the Yin Lord couldn't tell which one was the adult's residence for a while, so he had to give up after a general inspection.
The basic situation has been figured out, and the Yin Lord is ready to retreat. He was not confident enough to be able to confront everyone of the three major families head-on with the strength of one person, not to mention that his current state was not good.
But the next scene he saw made him very rare impulsive.
Just as his perception was ready to leave the mirror country, two drunks came out of a house.
Because it is in the yin and yang well, the temperature in Jingguo is relatively low all year round, so many people like to drink alcohol to ward off the cold. These two people just ran out to vent their excess energy after they had just eaten and drunk.
"Say, we're going to be in this hellish place, uh, when are we going to be heads......" One of them asked his companion while burping.
His companion was also drunk at this time, and the whole person was in a daze, and he staggered forward while smirking and said, "Afraid, afraid of what...... Isn't it nice to be here...... At least, at least you don't have to worry about being killed in the middle of the night, right? ”
"Hey, hey, that's it." The previous person smiled hesitantly, but the smile was really ugly, "At least we don't have to be like the Yin family, being beaten by someone, caught off guard, and in the end we are all dead." ”
His companion patted him on the shoulder and laughed, "That's right, that's right...... We...... Can't die! ……”
The man laughed a few more times, and then put his arm around his companion's shoulder and said, "Speaking of which, I also participated in that sneak attack, which is really enjoyable......"
He wiped a handful of after-dinner grease stains from the corners of his mouth, and continued to smile and said, "You don't know, those yin family members are really pitiful......
"There weren't many elders in total, and some of them were killed and injured by our sneak attack, and the rest were not opponents, and we solved them one by one, one by one, one by one."
After two wine burps in a row, he continued to laugh and said, "Haha, think about it, one family, one ...... Family, without the protection of the elders, that, isn't that...... Hey, hahahaha......"
Hearing him laugh breathlessly, the companion who was waiting to listen to the next was a little anxious, patted his face and asked, "What happened, how happened?" ”
"What else, except for those who the adults wanted, no, men, women, and children, one by one, one by one, all of them were slaughtered." While making an exaggerated expression to ease his facial muscles that had stiffened a little from laughter, the man continued, "Every time I kill someone, I feel a little happier in my heart...... This group of wild boys who jumped out of nowhere dare to call themselves impermanent? Lao Tzu is the one who kills you! ”
He laughed wildly, and the sound could be heard by half of the mirror country.
But he didn't know that the shadow of Death's dark wings had completely enveloped him.
Like a bolt of lightning in the sky, the man's laughter continued, but the human head had broken away from its body and faded into the distance, followed by a fountain of blood.
The companion who was still on his shoulder was spilled with hot blood, but he didn't react for a while, and when he subconsciously touched his face and found that his hands were red, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted that something was wrong.
He was horrified and tried to turn his head to look, but stopped only halfway through. The blade as cold as a kiss of death pressed against his Adam's apple.
Subconsciously swallowed his saliva, the Adam's apple was cut by the sharp blade because of the violent rolling, and the wisps of blood lay down like red threads.
Before he could say anything, the man with the knife had lost his patience. The cold light flashed, and another head fell to the ground.
Watching the blood slowly slide down from the blade of the soul drinker, the Yin Lord's eyes were covered with scarlet blood, but his lips were extremely pale, looking extremely terrifying.
From the moment the first person's blood spilled out, the alarm of the Mirror Country was triggered, and the originally quiet Mirror Country suddenly became noisy, and everyone hurriedly ran out of the house, ready to work together to deal with the intruders.
All of this was clear to the Yin Lord, but he didn't plan to leave. His current state is very poor, but the blood all over his body is boiling, and the incomparable killing intent has affected the soul drinking in his hand, and a layer of demonic red like blood has appeared on the blade that was originally as white as snow.
After a few breaths, Bu Tianliu, Mo Qiu, and Zhuge Feimang rushed here and saw the Yin Lord who was surrounded by layers.
Finally, after a long time, the three quasi-impermanences met the Yin Lord who was once the same quasi-impermanence. And this goodbye made the hearts of the three of them have mixed feelings.
Regardless of what the other two thought in their hearts, Bu Tianliu realized that now was the perfect opportunity to seize the Yin Lord, and he laughed and said, "Yin Lord, although I didn't expect you to be able to find here, I didn't expect you to be so stupid, do you think you can fight against the entire Mirror Country by yourself?" ”
Ignoring his clamour, the Yin Lord held the soul drink in front of him, silently reciting a spell in his mouth.
A drop of blood oozed from the tip of his right finger and slid into the linen wrapped around the hilt. Then, a thread of blood appeared on the blade, as if the soul was about to shatter, and at a glance, an invisible poignant rush towards the face.
"The Secret Art of the Yin Family: Vengeance Burial." His lips lifted lightly and he whispered the words.
His eyes quietly changed, and his pupils turned blood-red. In his field of vision, the people around him also changed, most of them turned a dull gray, while some turned a blinding bright red.
The corners of his mouth outlined a strange smile, and the Yin Lord's body suddenly rose into the air like a big bird, and the blade slashed through the air, turning into a round of blood moon, and slashed at the red figure closest to him.
