Chapter 285: The Man in the Mask
"How do we get into the Mountains and Rivers Society?" I asked, the map of the mountains and rivers looked very amazing, and the flowers, birds, insects, fish, etc., in it seemed to be alive, but this thing looked like it was just a picture scroll after all, not a door to enter or anything else.
"Just expand all the maps of the mountains and rivers!" Akun said.
However, I have already expanded, can I not say that this is not an expansion now? Ah Kun went on to explain, "There are two runes on either side of the scroll, and when fully unfolded, two runes will appear. ”
I took a closer look, and then expanded the mountain and river society map to the maximum extent, and sure enough, two runes appeared near the position of my fingers, and the runes emitted a faint golden light.
Then, everything in front of me went from clear to blurry, and then, again, clear.
Everything around us has changed, and Ah Kun and I are deep in a mountain, surrounded by birds and flowers, everything is like a dream.
I even stepped on the ground and kicked the weeds next to me, which were all real, and I asked, "Are these real?" ”
Ah Kun said: "Yes, it's true, this place is the same as the world we live in, and many people call this place the underworld, but no one can say whether it is or not. In this world, only a few people know about this place, such as some onmyoji and some magicians of other schools, and among these people, only a small number of people can come to this world, because many people will leave their bodies in the original world when they come to this world. It's as if you see it, the soul leaves the body, enters the relief, and the body becomes a bluestone figure. ”
Only spirits can come to this place, and in this sense, this place really resembles the legendary underworld. However, apart from this, the others are not like this, in my impression, the underworld should at least be a dark fire day, with ghost fires floating everywhere, and wandering spirits and wild ghosts floating around, extremely cold.
However, this place is different, because I can even see the cloudless sky, the mountains and mountains, even like the real world.
However, looking behind him, there was indeed a fog of uncertainty and reality, and that place should be where the map of the mountains and rivers was located.
From the underground ghost cave to this place, the environment has changed from that gloomy to the current spring breeze, which makes my whole body relax, and even feel very sleepy in my brain.
"Xiao Fan, cheer up, this place looks peaceful, but in fact it is very dangerous. Many people's souls will be reluctant to leave after arriving here, and then they will stay in this place forever. You've seen those bluestone people outside, and they're the ones who can't leave after entering this world! Ah Kun reminded.
Ah Kun is not wrong at all, this place is very strange, everything is relaxed here, you don't even want to do anything, even want to lie on the grass and sleep well. However, if you do lie down, you may not be able to sleep forever in this place.
"However, there are a lot of bluestone figures outside, how can so many people come to this place?" I asked, because we did find a lot of bluestone figures in the small fishing villages outside, and in the underground caverns.
"In ancient times, this place was supposed to be a place for some kind of trade, this place was like the devil, you can sacrifice enough living people to sacrifice, through sacrifice to get something you want, the person who is used as a sacrifice will become a bluestone figure." Akun said.
"Such a place has existed for a long time, at least before the Qin Dynasty, and in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Daoling once came to this place, because the evil witch religion in the Bashu region was prevalent at that time, and because of the harm of witch religion, the common people were in deep trouble. At the same time, a large number of Wiccan cultists also appeared in the Central Plains, and this place was discovered by them. So, they used this place to trick the common people into coming here to sacrifice and trade with that terrible power. In order to be able to quell the evil witch cult, Zhang Daoling brought his disciples to exterminate the witch cult, and built eighteen layers of hell here, with the technique of Qimen Dunjia, this place was hidden deep underground, and the seventh son of the dragon was called the mountain and river society Ji Tu to suppress the evil spirit here. Ah Kun said this, from this point of view, one of the purposes of Zhang Daoling's cultivation in Beibi Mountain, which Shen Yue had guessed before, was actually to eradicate the witch cult in this place.
In fact, you don't need to ask to know that the huge altar in front of the Bodhisattva Temple should be left in the Han Dynasty, and it should be left after Zhang Daoling eradicated the witch cult.
However, at this time, I didn't understand a little, so I asked: "Since Zhang Daoling eradicated the evil witch cult and also hid this place, his original intention was to protect future generations from being involved in this world again, then why did he build the eighteen-layer hell and leave such a dangerous relief mural?" ”
Ah Kun didn't think much about it, and he replied, "Actually, it's not the relief murals that are dangerous, but the place. Those stone carvings and murals of Zhang Daoling are actually a kind of formation, a formation that uses the hellish yin qi to suppress the evil qi in that place. If it weren't for those relief murals, I'm afraid that the world of human beings would be swallowed up little by little by the entrance of this place. ”
What Ah Kun said is simply imaginative, but every word is reasonable, and it seems that the truth of the facts is indeed like this.
Once again, I thought that the Empress Dowager Cixi built the Bodhisattva Temple here, perhaps for the sake of trading, for the continuation of the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty, or for her own immortality. However, she still failed to achieve her wish in that purpose, and I even thought that the matter of the small fishing village was also related to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
The story of the black-spotted carp may be false, but the truth is that the villagers of the small fishing village were sacrificed by the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Back then, in order to break the crisis for that Belle master, should it be that he agreed to Empress Dowager Cixi to do this?
If this is the case, then the entire village of the small fishing village was actually killed by my grandfather, and in fact, they all died at the hands of my grandfather. Thinking about this makes my heart very uncomfortable, and this is something that I can't accept anyway.
Although it is my grandfather, I have never met him, but after all, he is a member of the Yang family, in my consciousness, grandpa should not be a bad person, how can he be a decent person like my grandfather.
Just as I was thinking about these wandering minds, I suddenly realized that something was going on, and Ah Kun, who had been next to me all along, disappeared at some point.
And at this time, the sky suddenly became overcast.
The sun was shining just now, the spring breeze was warm, and it had disappeared without a trace, and I didn't quite believe what Ah Kun said, but now it seems that this is indeed not a good place.
I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and shouted around twice, but I didn't hear Ah Kun's response.
There was no road in the forest, and there was no sense of direction without the sun, and after I searched the forest for a while, I found nothing, nor did I find the whereabouts of Ah Kun. When I was thinking about those questions just now, what had already happened?
At this moment, I suddenly heard someone talking nearby.
I immediately hid behind a large tree next to me, and then I saw two figures walking towards me, carrying lanterns in their hands, and the lanterns emitted a cyan light.
Light from the underworld?
A little closer, I gradually saw that the two people were wearing Qing Dynasty clothes, and they still had long braids of yin and yang. However, their faces were all wearing masks, their faces were green and red-haired, and their faces were extremely hideous, just like the appearance of evil spirits in reliefs.
They were babbling something out of their mouths, and although I could hear them, I couldn't understand what they were saying, a language I had never heard before.
Seeing this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on my back, and I thought of the content of the eighteen layers of hell relief, could it be that in this world, the content on those pictures is true?
