Chapter 66: The Feast (2)

The city below the mountain is full of flowers.

Looking out at the underworld, where the lights are bright, although there is no sun or moon, the entire underground world is completely shrouded in red light from nowhere. Under the red light, high-rise buildings, towns, mountains, and rivers are all there, and it is simply a world of cold colors.

Ding Lingxiu stood on the edge of the railing and looked in amazement, and found that even helicopters and cars appeared here. It's no wonder that the world now burns paper cars for deceased relatives during sacrifices, and it seems that with the progress of the times, the underworld is also changing with each passing day, and earth-shaking changes have taken place.

Dante Lingxiu thought about his guess and was not reliable, because he was only the first time to come to the underworld, and he didn't know what the underworld was like before, maybe the underworld was so developed hundreds of years ago.

"Brother Rakshasa, this underworld was originally the name of a city and not the name of Lord Yama?"

Rakshasa smiled grimly:

"Yes and no, the city you see in front of you is actually called Xudu, and Difu is another name for it in the world. But the real Yama's mansion is also called the underworld."

"Xudu? Could it be that the Emperor Xudu is also here? ”

Rakshasa shook his head and said:

"No, Emperor Xudu, like the other five ghost emperors, are all legendary ancient emperors of the underworld, but I have lived in the underworld for so long, and I have never seen them, but I can often see him as an old man of the Bodhisattva of the Earth."

"Oh?" Ding Lingxiu was a little puzzled.

Although I have long heard that the Ghost Emperor is the supreme among the ghosts, he does not appear in the world. But if you haven't even seen the ghost emperor who has been living in the underworld, this

It's really a bit incredible, could it be that the Ghost Emperor never existed?

Ding Lingxiu took out his cigarette and traveled all the way, he couldn't hold back his addiction to cigarettes and couldn't wait to light the cigarette.

As the lighter crackled, Ding Lingxiu was surprised to find that the fire of the lighter turned yin blue here, a bit like the demon fire of the bag, and after lighting the cigarette, the cigarette butt turned into an ice blue point of light.

"What's going on?" Ding Lingxiu asked in surprise.

Without waiting for Rakshasa to answer, Zhang Shanyi smiled and said:

"Haha, Brother Ding, don't you know that the fire in this world is different from the underworld? The fire of the world is red, and the fire of hell is blue. Because the three pure qi that dominate all things in the three worlds of heaven, earth and man are different, the fire that is bred is also different, the heavenly sacred realm is the holy fire, the human realm is the yang fire, and the earthly realm is the yin fire. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying that immortals do not eat fireworks in the world. Now we're in the underworld, that's why your smoke is blue. ”

Rakshasa nodded and said:

"It seems that your big-eared Taoist priest is quite well-informed, it's really interesting, there is a chance for the two of us to drink and chat, you can tell me more stories between the three worlds."

Zhang Shanyi smiled and said:

"Okay, although the poor Dao is only a shallow learner, it is also an adventure to be able to drink with you, a rakshasa ghost."

Ding Lingxiu ignored them, looked at the lively city in the distance, and took a deep breath of cigarette.

The smoke was as quiet as a lung, plucking Ding Lingxiu's heartstrings, Ding Lingxiu suddenly felt that the taste of smoke became very fantastic, and only took a puff was like the feeling of smoking in the world and getting drunk, and his whole body was a little fluttering.

After holding on to the railing for a long time, he turned to Rakshasa and said:

"Brother Rakshasa, the younger brother also has something important to do when he comes to the underworld this time, and I came this time to prepare to come to the underworld to receive the silver spirit badge according to Brother Gua's instructions, so I will bother the eldest brother Rakshasa to guide the way for the younger brother later."

Rakshasa nodded, fluttering two large black wings and floating in the air.

"Is this nonsense? I'm the guide of the underworld, so you can just tell me where you want to go. Rakshasa paused, and pointed to a large iron gate embedded in the red rock wall in front of Ding Lingxiu, "The mountain behind you is called the Two Realms Mountain, and the position we are now is the top of the Two Realms Mountain, and the iron gate in front of you is the elevator leading to the Xudu below, and the underground reward of Gua Ge is in Xudu, if you want to see Gua Ge, come with me." ”

Rakshasa slowly flew towards the big iron gate, and the two followed behind Rakshasa in a trance, not feeling like they were in a terrifying underworld, but following a long ugly tour guide.

The big iron door can identify the demonic aura of the rakshasa as soon as the rakshasa walks in, it will automatically open, and the two of them followed in, and found that this is no different from the elevator in the world, although this kind of elevator built in the mountains is really rare.

"Brother Rakshasa, since you can fly, why don't you just take us down, isn't that faster?" Zhang Shanyi was a little puzzled.

Rakshasa's bulging eyes rolled and said:

"Is your local government as backward as yours? There is an air traffic channel above Xudu, how can you fly casually? If it weren't for the demon hunters like you who came from the human world to be specially picked up by our Rakshasas, anyone else who couldn't even fly over the mountains of the Two Realms would have to go through the ghost gate before they could enter the underworld. ”

"I see."

This elevator has no floor buttons, and it seems to be a simple passage up and down. As it slowly fell, it made a buzzing sound, which made people's hearts a little blocked.

The elevator descended slowly, for almost five minutes, before stopping.

When they walked out of the elevator, Ding Lingxiu immediately felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, this high temperature made him swollen and extremely uncomfortable, but he was surprised to find that several "people" in the distance were still wearing thick leather clothes.

What surprised him even more was that such a high temperature should have thinned the oxygen, and he should have difficulty breathing. But he didn't feel anything at the moment, he suddenly thought of the conjecture about death when he was in the Rakshasa wings just now, and he couldn't help but be creepy, and asked tremblingly:

"Brother Rakshasa, why is the oxygen here a little strange?"

"Oxygen?" Rakshasa's hideous face distorted, and he looked at Ding Lingxiu with a strange expression, "There's no oxygen here at all?" ”

Ding Lingxiu took a hard puff of his cigarette, and the blue cigarette butt burned even more vigorously.

This was similar to what he thought, because he had tried it before, and even if he covered his mouth and nose and held his breath, it would not affect him at all. Although he has been breathing since he came to the underworld, it is only a habitual action, and it has no practical effect at all.

Although Ding Lingxiu wanted to know whether his conjecture was true or not, he was still a little scared, so he tentatively asked Rakshasa:

"Brother Rakshasa , this underworld is really a good place, you don't have to breathe to live."

After hearing this, Rakshasa opened his mouth full of fangs and laughed:

"Haha, you little kid is too good at joking? I haven't heard the word alive a few times in the underworld! Don't say you still think you came to the underworld alive? You're already dead. ”

Hearing the word dead, Ding Lingxiu chuckled and looked at Zhang Shanyi.

Zhang Shanyi was also surprised, the two looked at each other, speechless.

Rakshasa looked at the surprised expressions of the two and continued:

"Hey, look at the two of you, if you do this, you will be born and die. Although you are dead, it is only temporary, and as long as you can return to the body after seven days, you will be able to return to the earth. ”

Ding Lingxiu remembered that he had a feeling similar to an out-of-body soul before, and realized that it was not an illusion, but that his soul was really separated from his body. He looked at the evil smiling rakshasa and began to feel a little uneasy in his heart, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Rakshasa, where is our physical body now?"

Rakshasa shook his head, patted his stomach and said:

"I've eaten it."

"Eaten?"

Zhang Shanyi and Ding Lingxiu said in unison, almost jumping in surprise.

Rakshasa clasped between his teeth with his sharp claws and muttered:

"That's right, but the smell of your two stinky skins is really not very good, and the residual aura on it makes me a little sick."

Ding Lingxiu extinguished the cigarette, and the whole person became not calm.

At this moment, he actually remembered the Tie Guan Li in the story of the Eight Immortals he had read, and this Tie Guan Li borrowed the corpse to return his soul because he was out of his body and handed over his body to his apprentice to take care of. But his apprentice did not follow the master's instructions, in order to see his critically ill mother, this apprentice did not follow Tie Guan Li's instructions and incinerated his body without authorization, guiding his soul to have nothing to rely on, and finally had to find a hungry body and drill into it, from a handsome man to a lame old man, and regretted it.

And the experiences of Ding Lingxiu and Zhang Shanyi are surprisingly similar to him.

Thinking of this, Ding Lingxiu broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart No, his body was swallowed by this rakshasa, not to mention that there is no way to ask for it now, even if the rakshasa takes the initiative to spit it out, will his body be unrecognizable? Z
