Chapter 335: Latent
The road to the underworld is for dead souls. The living can't find this way, and the living soul can't help but suffer it.
Although the city god protected our souls with mahogany juice and made us almost to the end, by this time, only half of the team was left.
When I saw the door, the shackles on me had fallen completely, revealing my soul. I felt like a thousand pins and needles. The pain came suddenly. I fell to my knees in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the yin cha grabbed my head and threw me inside the gate.
I slammed to the ground. I don't have any strength at all.
I know I've gone into the underworld. Because the yin here is very heavy, cool and swishing, indescribably comfortable.
I lay on the ground and squinted at the world outside the door. Yin Cha is like a toiling porter, driving those living souls into the underworld. Some of them are going to die at the door, and he will help them.
I suddenly had the feeling that we were chickens and ducks in the farm, and Yin Cha was the breeder, and he had no feelings for us, but it was clear that his duty was to keep us alive.
A few minutes later, all the living souls that were still alive had already stepped into the underworld. and those who die, their souls are scattered along the way.
I looked around, and luckily, several of us cultivators were still alive.
We were picked up by the shadows, put them back on the ropes, and pulled them along.
I quietly asked the Wushuang beside me, "Shall we run away now?" ”
Wushuang looked at me strangely: "Are you looking for death?" Then her eyes glanced around.
Only then did I see that there were more than a hundred and so shadows standing in the shadows on both sides. They were so motionless that I didn't notice them at all.
Needless to say, the duty of these shady people is to guard this gate.
Needless to say, these yin errors have also rebelled, we are obviously the souls of the unfinished life, and we were escorted to the underworld, and they didn't care.
It seems that something big has happened in the underworld. I even think that Zhang Yuan is very likely to be a bare-bones commander now, or rather, he has been killed.
I was thinking nonsense as I followed the shadows.
Wushuang whispered to me, "Is the Peachwood Sword still there?" ”
I touched my arms and said, "It's still there." ”
Wushuang nodded and said, "Quietly cut the rope and find a chance to slip away." Don't fight hard, we don't know what's going on here. ”
I nodded: "I understand this. ”
Saying this, I turned my head to look around, and suddenly found that the thin, fat, and sloppy Taoist priest had disappeared without knowing when.
I was startled and asked Wushuang, "Why are there only two of us left?" ”
Wushuang had already cut the rope on his hand. She said lightly: "If the five of us escape together, it will be easy to be discovered." So the three of them have quietly left. You're smart. Find a place to hide, and we'll look for you later. ”
With that, she flashed and hid in the darkness. I watched in amazement as her figure flashed and was never seen again.
I wanted to cry without tears, so I could only follow the army alone, and as I went, I cut the rope on my arm vigorously.
After a few minutes, my hands were finally free. I tucked the mahogany sword in my arms and looked around suspiciously as I walked.
It's good that no one notices me. There was a big area of ruins on the side of the road that I could hide in.
I took a deep breath and was about to leave. Suddenly, Yin Cha shouted, "Stop." ”
All the imps stopped.
I sighed helplessly: "I had to stand still and wait slowly." ”
A few seconds later, two judges walked over. Although my soul had been disguised with the blood of beasts, I still kept my head down in a very low-key manner.
I heard one of the judges sigh wistfully, "How good is that?" Won't the world be in chaos? ”
Another said: "We can't control this kind of big thing." Maybe it's a calamity, between heaven and earth, there should be this calamity. ”
The one before said, "Seeing the destruction of life, don't you do nothing?" ”
Another persuaded: "We are soft-spoken, like a flat boat in the sea, we can only be cautious and drift with the current, and it is not easy for our own boat not to capsize." If you don't measure yourself, you must fight against the wind and waves, I'm afraid you will die without a place to be buried. ”
The previous judge seemed to have been persuaded by him, sighed, and said: "Now I have to resign myself to fate, I only hope that after a turmoil, I will not kill too many people." ”
Another judge gave him relief: "What are you afraid of this?" There is the Jizo King Bodhisattva sitting here. What could happen? ”
The previous judge smiled bitterly: "That old monk, although his mana is boundless. But no matter what happens, it's either fate, or cause and effect. When have you ever seen him make a move? ”
The two men walked past me, and the farther and farther they went, and their voices became inaudible.
I stood on the ground in horror and thought, "What's going on?" The people are plunged into an abyss of misery? Listening to the words of these two judges, something terrible has happened in the underworld. And the two judges were not surprised to see us. This means that they also know that a large number of living souls have been sent to the underworld? ”
I was in a daze, when I suddenly heard the voice of Yin Cha: "Keep up, keep up, move forward." ”
That's when I realized that the big team had already started to leave.
I thought we were going to be sent to hell somewhere to suffer. However, he gradually came to the vicinity of the hall of the Hades. I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I took a break and fled.
I hid behind a wall. I watched as the door was opened. Then the spirits were sent in. After that, no one came out for a long time.
I looked around, but there was no shadow of Musou.
When I was worried, I suddenly heard a very slight voice: "Xu You, is it you?" ”
My head fluttered, and I quickly looked up. I saw a man on top of me, with his limbs tied to a rope, and he was clinging to the wall.
His body had been pulled out of shape, and he looked like a bat with its wings outstretched.
I looked at his face, which was already a little flattened. Still, I can recognize him as a water ghost.
I leaned under the wall and whispered, "Water ghost, what's going on?" How did you get hung here? ”
The water ghost smiled bitterly: "Isn't it your good master yet?" ”
I had a headache: "What did Zhang Yuan do in the underworld?" ”
The water ghost said: "I didn't expect that when I was in the world, I escaped the search of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and when I went to the underworld, I couldn't escape the punishment of the Hades. ”
I asked the water ghost, "Why did my master deal with you, did you commit something?" ”
The water ghost said: "At the beginning, although most of the Hades did not agree with my suggestions, he felt that I was a person of insight and was polite to me. Gradually, however, he became more and more domineering, and my advice was taken by him as critical. After that, I didn't dare say anything. Until recently, I persuaded him that living souls cannot enter the underworld, this is a rule since ancient times, how can you easily break it yourself? Once the rules are set, they must be followed, and if you feel that the rules are wrong, you can change the rules. You can't do it knowingly. Otherwise, where is the prestige? Who is willing to obey it?
I said this sincerely, but Hades told me, "I am Hades, and the whole of the underworld is mine." What rules are not ruly? I'm the rule. Then he ordered them to be tied to the wall. Stretch the rope by one meter per day. I persevered for three days, and by this time I could barely hold on. ”
I heard the mystery in the water ghost's words, and asked anxiously, "What did you say just now?" These souls were sent to the underworld with my master's consent? ”
The water ghost said, "Yes, otherwise, who would dare to do such a big thing privately? ”
I couldn't help but bow my head: "Not bad, not bad." If Zhang Yuan didn't agree to this matter, who would have such a great ability to buy off the Yincha, Chenghuang, and even the judge. ”
I asked the water ghost, "Why did my master agree to this?" Is there anything unspeakable about him? ”
The water ghost said, "All the people in the underworld don't know why your master did this. But I guessed a clue. ”
