Chapter 426: The Devil's Forest
Tang Mingli glanced at me and said, "Are we going to fight for whom here?" Who wins and who goes first? ”
I was a little speechless, made a gesture, and said, "Please." ”
Tang Mingli walked in the front, I was in the middle, and Bai Ningqing walked last, he watched the interaction between the two of us, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
The road was not long, and soon came to an end, and we walked into the light, but it was still very dark outside, but the road became wider, and there were quite a few people on the road, all of whom were a little dazed, and they were newly dead ghosts.
And the two sides of the road are covered with fiery red flowers, which are the legendary Manzhu Sawah, and the flowers that bloom on the Huangquan Road are like blood and flames, burning until the end of the world.
We followed the ghosts forward, I don't know how long it was, it felt like a long time, but it should be a short time, I looked at the watch on my wrist, it was less than ten minutes.
At this moment, we saw a very high platform, and there was a plaque on the high platform, and there were three big black characters on the plaque: Wangxiang Terrace.
Legend has it that Wangxiangtai is a high platform built at the end of Huangquan Road, and when you climb the Wangxiang Terrace, the ghosts can see the scene of their home, and we naturally did not go, and those ghosts all went without exception, standing on the high platform, either stunned in a daze, or secretly weeping, and some crying.
I sighed in my heart, why bother, since I am dead, I have to learn to let go.
As we walked on, a tall pass appeared in front of us, the pass was very majestic, but the surrounding area was filled with black air, and there were scary-looking imps guarding the level, which looked eerie and terrifying, making people chill.
There is a huge sign hanging on the pass, and on the sign are three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: Ghost Gate Pass.
My mood suddenly became solemn, this is the ghost gate, it is said that as long as the ghost enters this Xiongguan, it is a complete ghost of the underworld, and there is no chance to return to the mortal world, unless he enters the six realms of reincarnation and is reincarnated as a human.
I took out my mobile phone, entered Black Rock TV, found my brother's account, and sent him a message, telling him that I had come to the underworld to find him, and asked him to tell me the address.
At this time, Bai Ningqing said: "My ancestor once had an ancestor who ascended to immortality, and I have read the notes he left behind, which said that when he was young, in order to find a treasure, he used the Tongyou Beast to enter the underworld. ”
We all looked at him, and he continued: "That ancestor said in his notes that we must not enter the ghost gate, once we enter, we will be taken by the little ghost to the judge's hall, and pass in front of Judge Cui, once Judge Cui finds out our identity, we will be punished at the least, or killed, and we will be sent to hell after death, and we will be punished for hundreds of years. ”
I asked, "So what do we do?" ”
Bai Ningqing pointed to the side of the Ghost Gate, there were two dense woods next to the checkpoint, the forest was full of thorns and locust trees, among which the ghosts were full of shadows, which were very terrifying.
"These two forests are called ghosts and sorrows." Bai Ningqing said, "Passing through these two forests, it is a city of death, from this road, you can not go through the Yama Palace, you can not see the Ten Palaces of Yama, you can go anywhere in the underworld." But the Ghost Forest is full of fierce beasts that grow in the underworld, and even plants can eat people, and no matter how vicious the ghosts are, they dare not enter it. ”
He paused, looked at me, and said, "Ms. Yuan, you don't have to be afraid, my ancestor left a map in his notebook, which explains in detail a relatively safe road, and I can take you there." ”
I said happily, "Then there will be Lao Bai, and when I go back, I will definitely give a thank you gift to express my gratitude." ”
Bai Ningqing said unhappily: "Ms. Yuan, I treat you as a friend and show you the way, how can you insult me with any thank-you gifts?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "I was abrupt, I'm really sorry." ”
Bai Ningqing said: "Ms. Yuan, if you are my friend, call me Ningqing, and I also call you Jun Yao, how about it?" ”
I had a fever on my face, and I was about to open my mouth to refuse, but I heard Tang Mingli say: "The two of you have only known each other for a long time, and I can understand that you are like each other at first sight and take you as confidants, but you are too affectionate and spread out, and I thought that Ms. Yuan climbed high branches and hooked up with Bai Dashao of Kukai, which was very bad for her reputation." ”
I glanced at him gratefully, he really could talk, he relieved me of the siege, and he wouldn't offend Bai Ningqing.
Bai Ningqing frowned slightly, as if he wanted to refute, but Tang Mingli's words were so clear that he had no way to refute them.
After a long time, he said: "Since this is the case, I will call you by your full name, and you will also call me Bai Ningqing, don't call Bai Dashao anymore, it seems to be raw, how about it?" ”
I nodded, "That's good." ”
Bai Ningqing was satisfied and led us into the forest.
The thorns in this forest are very powerful, even if I am a fourth-grade advanced cultivator, it is very difficult to walk, no wonder those ghosts dare not take a step.
I thought about it, took out the flute, and the two men who were cutting the thorns in front of me with their swords turned back and looked at me strangely, and I blew a gentle note, and the thorns on the ground quickly reacted, began to stir, and then, like snakes, slowly made a way.
Both of them were shocked and seemed to be in disbelief.
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's hurry, let's go." After speaking, the two men looked at each other, and secretly thought in their hearts that they wanted to show their hands in front of her, but they didn't expect her to give her a chance at all.
We went all the way into the depths of the forest, according to the route given by Bai Ningqing, we didn't encounter any powerful monsters along the way, only encountered a huge rhinoceros, this rhinoceros has a huge body, similar to an elephant, with a huge rhinoceros horn, covered with white spots, it looks like a skeleton, the eyes are blood-red, and there is a monster in its mouth that looks like a human being.
Bai Ning Qing Dynasty made a stop action, lowered his voice and said: "That's a ghost rhino beast, very fierce and brutal, it has just finished hunting, let's not fight hard, hide from it." ”
We immediately crouched down and hid in the thorn bushes, and the ghostly rhinoceros seemed to sense something, turned its head, glanced in our direction, and saw nothing, and walked staggering over with heavy steps.
We were breathing a sigh of relief, slowly standing up, and taking two steps forward, when we suddenly heard a loud shout: "Who are you?" ”
Startled, we turned back and saw a team of ghost soldiers, spears in their hands, approaching us at great speed.
Tang Mingli frowned and said, "Bai Dashao, this is the way you led us?" ”
Bai Ningqing was also very surprised, his face was ugly, and he said: "It has been 1,300 years since my ancestor came to the underworld, and in such a long time, I am afraid that the ghost soldiers may not have changed their patrol routes." ”
Tang Mingli snorted coldly, grabbed my arm, and said, "Jun Yao, follow me." ”
Bai Ningqing said: "This ghost can't walk around in the forest, you come with me, I know there is a place to hide." ”
Tang Mingli didn't believe it a little, I saw that the ghost soldiers were getting closer and closer, and said: "I think Bai Dashao won't harm us, it's not only dangerous for us to run around, but also easy to get lost, and when the time comes, we can't go out, and if we delay the time, it's bad." ”
Although Tang Mingli didn't trust Bai Ningqing, he had no other way but to follow him all the way forward, although the strength of the ghost soldiers was not very strong, but we couldn't easily attack them, otherwise it would be against the underworld, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
I took out the Fengxing Pill, ate one for each of the three of us, and ran through the forest, quickly leaving those ghost soldiers far behind.
I don't know how long I ran, but a white fog suddenly appeared in front of me, and Bai Ningqing said: "It's here, it's here." ”
When we looked up, we saw a thatched house in the thick fog.
I was surprised and asked, "Bai Ningqing, how can there be a house in this ghost forest?" ”
Bai Ningqing said: "My ancestor said in his notes that this thatched house has a very long history, and it was left by a powerful cultivator during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The cultivator practiced the practice of the Extreme Yin, and it was difficult to advance for a long time, so he came to the underworld, built a simple cave in the Ghost Sorrow Forest, and practiced here for three hundred years, and finally succeeded in crossing the tribulation and ascended to immortality. My ancestor also found this place by accident, there is a formation laid by the great power around here, we are hiding here, it is safe. ”
