Chapter 439: More than half a step
Walking out of the painting boat, I saw a city on the water in the distance, the scope was far larger than expected, and the front of the city wall alone stretched for several kilometers. The sky here is gray, different from the darkness of the underworld, there is moonlight, but the light color seems to be through a black veil, not so bright, the color is between the sun and the underworld.
"More than half a step, Yin and Yang Two Realms City." The night wandering god looked at the city in the distance and muttered.
I was a little strange, and when I saw that there was no one around, I asked curiously, "What are you doing here for more than half a step?" ”
"Of course it's refuge, this is a three-way zone, and it has its own power system, and the underworld has no way to want me." The Night Wanderer grinned.
The corners of my mouth twitched, and it shouldn't be lying, but it was obviously evasive. There are many places to take refuge in the sun, and the strength of the Night Wandering God may not be very strong, but in terms of concealment skills, there are probably few who can compare with it.
After a pause, it added: "It stands to reason that you shouldn't come here at this time, but since you're here, are you interested in accompanying me for an extra half-step trip?" ”
I hesitated, the fat man was still waiting for me outside, we agreed to be half an hour, this has been more than an hour, I'm afraid it's already chickens and dogs jumping outside. After a long time, if you don't get it right, it will alarm Miao Miao and Aunt Hong.
I originally came to investigate Bai Xiangyue, but I ended up more than half a step in this legend, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I had no clue. But I was reluctant to just turn around and go back, the Night Wanderer must know something about me, and now is a great opportunity.
I glanced at it and said strangely, "You came alone, why did you want me to accompany you?" ”
"Hey, hey, hey." Ye Youshen touched his chin and smiled, "I'll tell you when I enter the city." ”
I instinctively felt that it was smiling treacherously, and seemed to have a request for me, so I immediately sat down on the ground and said, "I can go in with you, but you have to promise me one thing." ”
"Well said." The Night Wanderer raised his eyebrows.
"I want to know, everything you know about me!" I said directly.
Night Wandering God hesitated for a moment and nodded: "No problem." ”
"Really?" I was a little suspicious, but I couldn't help but be ecstatic.
It nodded yes.
I said yes, and then I got off the boat with him, and walked more than half a step into the middle of the waterway in the distance.
Along the way, I found that there are really people here who are active, and there are many ghosts, coming and going from all directions, this city of land and water extends in all directions, and there are countless docks along the coast.
It's just that I found a very strange thing, the ghosts here don't have a strong ghost aura on them, and they seem to be softer, similar to the souls of the dead who have just died.
I was a little strange, so I whispered to the Night Wanderer what was going on.
The Night Wandering God smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, they are not ghosts, but the Yin people of the underworld, that is, the inhabitants of the underworld. ”
"I see." It dawned on me that something was different.
Ghosts are formed by the yin spirits staying in the yang world and absorbing yin and bad qi, while the yin people in the underworld are different, because they go to the underworld early, and they will not incorporate too much of the yin and obscure qi in it.
The inhabitants of the underworld and the underworld are actually almost the same thing, the underworld is in charge of punishment and reincarnation, but it is impossible to exist in isolation, and there must be enough yin people to support them.
When a yin soul is reincarnated, it can choose to be reincarnated in the yang world or in the underworld, but the number of the latter is quite rare.
Many people who choose to be reincarnated as Yin people are rushing to be able to join the underworld, because once they join the underworld, if it is not an accident, it represents eternity, although the hierarchy is strict, and there are many sufferings, but after all, they avoid the suffering of reincarnation.
The Yin people are essentially no different from ghosts, because they also only have one earth soul, no heavenly soul, human soul and seven spirits, and also have some abilities of ghosts, but the difference is that they voluntarily become Yin people, and they do not have the resentment of ghosts on their bodies, which is much softer.
The Night Wandering God looked at the Yin people coming and going, and suddenly sighed and said, "There are more Yin people who have come here to take refuge than imagined. ”
"Evacuation?" I muttered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when I was in the Northeast before, Aunt Hong said that there was a rebellion in the underworld, and the Yin people were killed and injured countless times, presumably this is the reason.
And Aunt Hong also said that although the rebellion was eventually suppressed, the underworld has become a powder keg, and no one knows when its next explosion will occur, maybe just a little spark.
What I saw on the road was indeed as the night wandering god said, the number of yin people was much more than the number of people, and even seemed a little crowded, and most of them were not as rich as those yin and yang merchants who had been dressed and seen before, and ragged, unkempt, and dragged their families abounded.
These scenes are no different from the war-torn times in the sun, where people are trying to survive. And they all took some very simple canoes, and some of the Yin people even came directly with a log.
In comparison, the condition of the living seems to be much better.
I even thought, could it be that Aunt Hong got the news of the rebellion in the underworld from here? Otherwise, it is not a simple matter to reach the underworld.
"Is there another rebellion in the underworld? Or is the rebellion still not over? ”
I asked the Night Wandering God, and I couldn't help but feel a little frightened, this is not a rebellion in a country or region in the Yang Realm, but an entire plane, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.
The underworld is the future destination of most people, and it is not good news if the situation is unstable.
Night Wanderer's face froze slightly, and he shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't want to say it or said that it wasn't over.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the city gate, the city gate was very high, showing a kind of gold and iron black, with three big characters written on it: more than half a step.
But what surprised me was that at this moment, many Yin people were crowded at the door, and they were blocked by a bunch of armor soldiers like a great enemy, and they were not allowed to enter the city, so that the entire city gate was blocked, and those who entered the city could not enter, and those who left the city could not get out.
"What's the situation?" I asked.
"There are more and more Yin people, and more than half a step is almost unacceptable." The Night Wanderer explained.
"What then?" I was dumbfounded, I can't wait all the time, the fat people on top of them can't get it and they have to wait to go crazy.
"Hey, hey." Ye Youshen smiled mysteriously and said, "Others can't get in, but you must be able to get in." ”
"What do you mean?" I couldn't figure out what I was listening to.
Seeing that I didn't understand, Ye You God said: "I said, more than half a step is not for anyone to enter, the forces here don't even dare to offend the underworld, across the two worlds of yin and yang, coming here not only needs the introduction of the yin and yang boat, but also needs the entry certificate, otherwise it will be like these refugees, blocked at the city gate and unable to enter." ”
"Credentials?" I suddenly remembered that Bai Xiangyue once gave me a white jade box that looked like a box and a seal, and asked me to let me carry the jade box with me, right?
I immediately took out the white jade box, I have been carrying this thing closely, but I found that it can be used in addition to being a box, that is, it is easier to use when smashing ghosts and evil spirits.
A thought arose in my mind, Bai Xiangyue shouldn't be a person who is more than half a step, right?!
She is a demon, and the first time she appeared was in Rouge Lake, and Rouge Lake has a yin and yang boat leading to more than half a step, which is the most direct evidence to point to.
"Beware!" As soon as the night wanderer saw me take out the jade box, he immediately covered it with his sleeve and said to me solemnly: "Strange goods can live!" ”
I was slightly startled, and hurriedly put the jade box into my sleeve, if this is the entry certificate, someone will snatch it; I looked around and was relieved to see that no one had noticed me.
"Let's go, let's go in, remember that this thing is not ordinary, just show it to the guards, don't show it." The Night Wanderer told me.
I nodded hurriedly, and then squeezed in with the Night Wanderer, who did not go through the main city gate, but walked to a small side door next to it, where people came in and out from time to time, but the guards were more stringent, and there were no refugees to squeeze anywhere, and looking at the clothes of the people who came in and out, they were all either rich or expensive.
Walking to the side door, the Night Wanderer said to the guard, "We're going in." ”
Guarding the small door were more than a dozen ironclad guards, led by a man with a scar on his face, sensing the breath, still a living person, with a fierce and vicious face, seeing that we were dressed ordinary, he said angrily: "Where are the refugees? This door is not open for you, hurry up and get out of the way, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. ”
The Night Wanderer didn't talk nonsense to it, and turned his head to lose a look at me.
I nodded, revealing the jade box halfway out of my sleeve.
The Scar Guard's face suddenly changed drastically, and he even brought a hint of shock, and his words of surprise were unreasonable: "Second...... The two of them are offended, and the small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, which is ...... This is the door. After speaking, he hurriedly ordered the guards to open the door, which attracted the attention of many people next to him.
The small door soon opened, and the Scar Guard half-bowed and escorted us into the city.
I was shocked in my heart, Bai Xiangyue was really a person who was more than half a step! And the status of more than half a step must not be low!!
No wonder the last time I asked her if she was from the Ghost King Palace, she shook her head and said no.
She didn't lie to me.
It's just that I don't understand, what does she mean by giving me this jade box?
Is it for the sake of an emergency for me to take shelter for more than half a step? Like the night wanderer at this moment? Of course, the night wanderer said that he came to take refuge, which is probably his excuse.
This guy obviously didn't get the certificate to enter the city, so he let me in with him.
The key to this is that it must have known in advance that I had a jade box, or that Bai Xiangyue had given me a certificate to get started; It is worthy of the prefecture that engages in intelligence reconnaissance and knows everything.
After entering the city, the night wandering god looked at the scar guard, and the fox fake tiger said: "Remember the face of the master, the master will come often in the future, get out!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
The Scar Guard nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and the fierce Scar even looked a little funny at the moment.
When the guards left, I grabbed the Night Wanderer and stared at it and asked, "How do you know I have the credentials to get started?" ”
