Chapter 258: First Entry into the Underworld
In the middle of the night, Summer always felt his body moving, and when he opened his eyes reluctantly, he found that the cold was driving his body to run quickly in the direction of the city center. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's so late and you're still running out, is there anything urgent going on?" Confused, Summer asked.
"I was just ordered to return to the underworld immediately, and I don't know what happened." Han replied as he ran.
"Back to the underworld?" Summer suddenly came to her senses, "I remember the first time I went back to the underworld with you, I was beaten out by the dragon guarding the ghost gate, and now I want to go back?" Can you get in? ”
"What do you say? I've been asked to go back, can you not let me in? ”
"Yes." Summer smiled stupidly, "But it's a bit of a distance from my house to the ghost gate, why don't you take a taxi?" ”
"It's urgent, I didn't think of it for a while." Han said and immediately drove Summer to survive, and stopped a taxi on the side of the road and soon rushed to the ghost gate in the city center.
When Han stepped here, the surrounding scene immediately changed drastically. The original modern city immediately disappeared from the eyes of summer, and everything around him disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he felt as if he was in an endless and desolate land.
The surroundings were gloomy, like a mist covering the earth. With the sound of clang-clang-clang, the ghost gate slowly rose from the ground. When it was completely standing in front of Summer's eyes, the ghost lanterns on both sides of his eaves lit up, and then the ghost door slowly opened.
When the ghost gate was fully opened, the guardian spirit dragon stretched its head down from above, and the huge dragon head suspended in front of Summer's eyes, and the dragon whiskers on both sides of the dragon's mouth swayed with the wind.
An inexplicable and powerful feeling of oppression made Summer feel difficult to breathe, and her legs couldn't move and couldn't stop trembling slightly. The cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his eyes, making his eyes uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to blink in the summer, let alone rub it with his hands.
"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt us." Han said to her body, and after saying that, she drove Summer's body to take a step forward, and said respectfully to the spirit dragon, "On the orders of the Hades King, the ghost sent Han back to the underworld. ”
"I have been ordered by the King of Hades to wait here for a long time, please come in." The spirit dragon replied, sticking his head back at the same time.
After the cold drove the summer body into the Ghost Gate, the Spirit Dragon closed the Ghost Gate, and everything returned to its original appearance.
It is said that since the cold entered the summer body, this is the first time that summer has stepped into the land of the underworld. There is no difference between this and the scene outside the Ghost Gate Pass before, it is an endless and desolate desert, dim and dark, and windy sand, making it difficult to open your eyes, giving the summer feeling like walking in the desert in the dark night.
Han had been gone for a while, but she still didn't mean to stop. Summer got a little impatient and asked, "There's nothing in the middle of nowhere, where are we going, and when are we going?" ”
"The ghost gates scattered all over the country are laid out according to the Bagua Mirror, and the ghost city is like the center of the Bagua Mirror, which comes from the center of all the ghost gates. That's where we're going, don't worry, we'll be there soon. Han replied as he continued to walk.
It didn't take long for the cold to finally stop through the wind and sand, and it seemed to have arrived.
In the summer, the wind and sand stopped, and the ghost town surrounded it like a mountain being slashed down. In the summer, there is a tall city wall in front of you, and you can't see the scene in the ghost town when you stand below, except for a building that looks like a pagoda spire towering high in the center of the ghost town, which is supposed to be where Han will eventually go. In the sky above the building, there is a full blood-red moon, which shines like the sun, illuminating the ghost town, but not as dazzling as the sun. At last. Han also told Summer that this ghost town is octagonal and has eight gates.
There is a city gate under the city wall, and there are also Yin soldiers who guard the ghost city. After Han said the same thing to them at the Ghost Gate, the Yin soldiers let them go.
Cold and summer walked into a ghost town, which is not much different from the real world outside. The only difference is that the people outside are still sleeping soundly, but here is bustling with hustle and bustle.
At the foot of the summer is a straight and wide avenue from the city gate to the palace of Hades, from which you can directly reach the palace of Hades, which is where Han will eventually go.
Hades' Palace is an octagonal tower, and its eight sides have the same number of steps, but the layout of the steps on each side is different, which is also laid out according to the eight trigrams. The eight sides symbolize all directions, and the demons can enter the main hall of the Hades Palace no matter which side they walk from.
Almost a year has passed, and in this year Han is back to Hades Palace for the first time. The feeling of reunion after a long absence made Han unable to tell whether it was joy or reluctance, and she thought that this time she came back because the Hades would let her come out of the summer body. She took a deep breath and stepped up the steps into the main hall of Hades' Palace.
After observing the environment of the main hall in the summer, he found that there was a tall pillar in each of the eight directions of the main hall, and each pillar supported a huge beam, and directly on the beam was the entire octagonal exquisite pagoda. As to why it was only supported by one pillar, Han explained, "The figure eight is arranged. ”
In front of the main hall is a platform with three steps to the top. There is also a small platform on the platform, which is where the Immortal King is located. There is no symbolic power on the platform, similar to the throne of the emperor's dragon chair, and I heard that every time the Hades King appears, he rides his mount, the black cat, and directly onto the platform.
The main hall was full of demons, and when the cold appeared, everyone looked at her in unison, I don't know if it was because she was in the summer body, or because she was the last to arrive. So, the cold drove the summer body to bow slightly to them in apology.
Han noticed that almost all the ghosts had arrived, and she was very surprised by her, because since she had been a ghost, she had only seen a dozen ghosts appear in the Hades Palace at the same time.
Han vaguely felt that the Hades King had summoned her back to the underworld, not to rescue her from Summer's body, and that there was something else, and this matter seemed to be not small, otherwise all the ghosts would not have been recalled.
"Do you know what's going on?" The cold drove the summer body, and asked a familiar ghost next to him.
"I didn't know, I was hunting for ghosts. But my boss told me to let it go, and told me to rush back to the underworld immediately. After the ghost cha answered, he then asked, "When was the last time you saw Hades?" ”
"I don't remember, it's been decades, right?" The cold drove the summer body to reply.
"I'm pretty much like you. This time, all the ghosts have returned, and the Hades King has appeared in person, so it seems that the situation is not small. ”
"What is it that makes such a lot of work?"
"Who knows, Hades will be here in a while, wait and see."
In just a few words, the Hades had already ascended to the platform on his mount, and all the ghosts immediately fell silent.
The Hades jumped down from the black cat and walked to the edge of the platform, and said to the demons in the audience with a solemn expression, "The Wraith Codex has lost ......" (to be continued.) )
