The further you go inside, the darker it becomes.

There was a dead silence, no one spoke, and everyone tensed their nerves, ready to deal with sudden danger.

"It's over. Zhu Baye, who was walking at the forefront, suddenly stopped and spoke.

Ning Xiu held his right hand, and a blazing flame rose from his hand.

The firelight flickered, reflecting the rocks on all sides of the passage with an indescribable hideousness, as if the rocks were like the demons from the netherworld.

And these evil ghosts were staring at Ning Xiu at this time.

By the light of the fire, everyone finally saw the surrounding situation clearly, and a second door appeared in front of them.

The stone door was unusually tall, and Ning Xiu and the others stood below, looking up, but they couldn't see the top.

In an instant, everyone's hearts couldn't help but give birth to such emotions, only to feel that the world is vast, and they are small, and they are a little more awe and fear of the world inside this ghost gate.

"It looks a little different from the legend. Zhu Baye said in a deep voice.

Everyone nodded with heavy expressions.

Ning Xu also heard this legend from Blood Without a Trace, according to the ancient legend of their sea of stars, behind the ghost gate, there should be a vast and boundless underworld, and a Styx river that "does not know where it starts and ends", and the stars in the sky, along with their exercises and magic weapons, are all buried in the underworld in front of the Styx.

And this river Styx is also known as the Netherworld, which is why there is a saying that "the stars fall, the Netherworld crosses".

In fact, the first to pass on the mouth of the stars in the mouth of the sea is only "the stars fall, the netherworld" these six words, and the subsequent legend is added later, just because this legend is also extremely ancient, it has been passed down for a long time. Only then did everyone gradually forget the original truth of the matter.

"From the passage, it can be seen that this place does not look like a netherworld at all, but more like a mausoleum. Ning Xiu said.

When he was in the Peach Blossom Spring, he had entered the mausoleum built by the forest keeper himself, so he was particularly sensitive to this aspect. The existence of that mausoleum is to hide the existence of the Peach Blossom Spring, and what kind of secrets are hidden in this mausoleum.

Looking at this dazzling ghost statue, Zhao Kaiyang's face changed slightly, he stood up, and asked, "What now?"

Even he didn't notice that his voice was trembling a little when he had just spoken.

Zhu Baye glanced at it and sneered: "Seven-Star Sword Mo Jiansheng is also a generation of grandmasters, although your strength is not very good now, but as the acting head of the Seven-Star Sword Sect, then you can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in this sea of stars, isn't it embarrassing to behave like this?"

Zhao Kaiyang wanted to open it several times, but he couldn't say a word.

Because what the other party said was true, he had no way to argue with it.

"Now that we're here, we can only move forward. Ning Xiu glanced at Zhao Kaiyang and said softly. "From the moment we step into the ghost gate, no one can predict the blessings and misfortunes of life and death, and the path of cultivation is the same. ”

Zhao Kaiyang's whole body was shocked, Ning Xiu's words could be described as a slap in the face for him, which made him wake up instantly.

He raised his head to look at Ning Xiu, his face full of gratitude.

"Let's go. ”

Blood Without a Trace said indifferently and took the lead in walking inside.

Ning Xiu and they followed closely, only to see that behind the door was a rotunda, surrounded by nine portals, round vaults, high above, as if painted with pictures.

Ning Xiu raised his eyes and looked at it, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" Yu Shasha asked, following Ning Xiu's gaze with a glance at the picture on the dome.

"It's nothing, I just think this painting ...... It's a little weird. Ning Xiu pondered for a while and said slowly.

Indeed, as Ning Xiu said, this painting is very weird.

The whole picture is divided into two parts, one part depicts the falling stars in the sky, and the other part shows the demons dancing underground.

The two parts do not match at all in terms of color, style or content, as if they have been spliced together, what kind of relationship will there be, Ning Xiu thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer.

The whole hall was empty.

There was only one round table, and nothing else.

The whole hall was empty and wide, and it looked particularly eerie, and it was as if they were in an empty graveyard. And the round vault is like the sky high above, overlooking all beings, and there are ghosts and shadows on all sides, and the wind gusts......

"If this is really a mausoleum, then who will it be?" Zi'er asked.

No one answered her words, because no matter whose mausoleum this is, the inheritance in it will definitely not be bad.

And although everyone doubted the legend, they still did not completely disbelieve it.

Isn't there nine doors in this hall, and it is unknown that there is an endless underworld behind it.

In addition to the door that Ning Xiu and they first entered, there were eight gates, which meant that there were eight roads in front of Ning Xiu and them now.

"Which way to go now?"

In the deathly silence, Yu Shasha broke the silence and spoke.

Still no one answered, and after a while, Zhu Baye spoke: "No one knows what kind of danger there will be behind the door, so I suggest that everyone should act together." ”

Zhu Baye said very well, which of the people present is not a human spirit, and before they see the exact benefits, they will not engage in this set of things in the nest. This is the time for unity, and naturally no one will object.

"In that case, let's go now. ”

After the discussion, everyone decided to go through the passage in front of them first, and Zhu Baye still took the lead, walking in the front, and the moment he entered the door, the gate suddenly closed, blocking all the other masters outside.

"What the hell is going on?" said Bloodless with a frown.

"It looks like only one person is allowed to pass through each of the lanes here. Ning Xiu said.

"Can we move forward with the gate closed, so that this situation can be avoided?" Zhao Kaiyang asked.

Although the door closed quickly, leaving little time for the rest of the people, it was not difficult for them to do this, and since this door was so big, they could enter it at the same time.

Zhao Kaiyang thought so and did the same.

But Ning Xiu and they were still only one person inside, and when Zi'er disappeared completely, the others only felt that an unknown powerful force directly pushed them out of the door.

"It looks like we're going to have to separate. Ning Xiu said.

The crowd nodded and accepted the fact.

There are a total of eight passages, Zhu Baye and Zi'er each chose one, and there are six left.

And Ning Xiu has five people left, and after one person chooses one, there is one left.

Ning Xiu glanced at Yu Shasha, picked a passage on the diagonal right, and walked in without looking back.

And not long after Ning Xiu and the others entered the passage, another person entered the hall and went straight to the last passage.

......

Since entering the ghost gate, it has been strange everywhere.

Ning Xiu naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, especially when he was alone today. There was no one around, just don't worry about anything else, Ning Xiu directly ran the immortal golden body, only to see a burst of dark gold circulating on his exposed skin, like a brass statue.

At the same time, Ning Xiu spread his consciousness and paid attention to the movements around him at all times, so his walking speed became slow, and there was nothing he could do. After all, if he ventures, it is easy to put himself in danger, and no one will come to save him if he is alone.

The passage was deep and dark, and Ning Xiu knew in his heart that he should be going down, so he followed suit and walked forward cautiously.

Compared to the original stone path, this passage was much cleaner, with nothing but stone slabs painted with stars and demons, not even dust.

After walking for a while, the front suddenly opened up, and the sudden bright light made Ning Xiu a little unable to open his eyes.

He froze, stunned to find himself in the middle of a desert.

"Where the hell is this?"

Ning Xiu looked at the sand under his feet, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, only to see that the sand under his feet was not yellow or gray, it was all dark and deep, so deep that people could sink into it just by looking at it.

This land can absorb divine consciousness?!

Underworld, Ning Xiu suddenly remembered these two words, dared to spare a circle, and returned to the starting point, the ancient legend of the sea of stars.

Ning Xiu glanced up at the sky, there was no sun in the sky, only a dark red moon.

This reminded him inexplicably of the place of death in front of the Peach Blossom Spring.

Snort~

The dark gold on the surface of Ning Xiu's body floated, and the brilliance flowed, melting a trace of black qi that invaded his body.

"Death Qi has entered the body, have you really come to the underworld......" Ning Xiu muttered in a low voice.

Fortunately, there is an immortal golden body protector, otherwise it will be invaded by death qi for a long time, and even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will become an unconscious walking corpse at that time.

And this is more painful than death itself.

Looking up, all around him were the vast and boundless deep underworld, what to do next, Ning Xiu had no clue at all.

But he couldn't just stay where he was and wait to die, he had to find a way to find it as soon as possible.

"Since the Netherland is real, then Netherland may also exist, and the first thing to do is to find it. ”

Ning Xiu's eyes were resolute, he glanced around, identified one of the directions, and walked forward.

......

The desolation is a little scary.

The earth was soft and slimy, and stepping on it was like stepping on it in a pool of blood, and there was an indescribable nausea.

At this moment, Ning Xiu's heart moved, and he stepped back, and at the same time, his right hand volleyed a talisman in the air, instantly forming a talisman sword.

He reached out and grabbed it, and slashed forward, right on a demon crawling out of the dirt.

I saw that the demon looked like a human, but its eyes were blood-red, its mouth was open to reveal its white teeth, and the cloudy liquid continued to flow down from its mouth, dripping onto the underworld, making a sneering sound.

It gives a feeling of exceptional danger.

Ning Xiu slashed into his body with a sword, but the other party didn't react at all, obviously not perceiving the pain at all. At the wound, the muscles twisted and rolled, slowly devouring the talisman sword in Ning Xiu's hand.

"Thunder!"

Ning Xiu let out a low cry when he saw this, and the rune sword in his hand immediately burst into thunder, and now he could do the five thunder spells to the point where he could do it like a finger. The demon screamed screaming, and finally a painful expression appeared on his face, and soon the layer of rotten flesh outside was incinerated by the thunder, leaving a white skeleton to fall to the ground, and was instantly devoured by the underworld.

"Is this evil ghost originally existing here and naturally generated from the underworld, or is it a human who strayed into this place and was infected by this boundless death qi?" Ning Xiu frowned tightly and thought in his heart.

Don't look at him to win so easily, in fact, it's just because he is good at restraining this place. The first is that the immortal golden body prevents him from being eroded by the dead qi, and he changes to someone else, just to block this dead qi, I don't know how much true power it will take. Secondly, the thunder method he is good at is the nemesis of these yin and evil ghosts, otherwise with the healing ability that the evil ghosts have seen before, I am afraid that a lot of effort will be wasted.

But even so, if a demon like Fang Cai appeared in groups, Ning Xiu would also be in danger.

Fortunately, during the next journey, Ning Xiuzhi encountered a few evil ghosts, and they all acted alone.

However, one of the demons caught Ning Xiu's attention.

Because he was wearing the tattered clothes that were about to rot, Ning Xiu had seen it before, and it was exactly the same as Zhao Kaiyang's clothes.

This evil ghost naturally can't be Zhao Kaiyang, but he is definitely a member of the Seven Star Sword Sect. Along the way, after Ning Xiu fought with these demons, he found that these demons had different attack methods, and obviously after turning into the walking dead, their bodies still instinctively remembered their moves in life.

The swordsmanship used by the evil ghost wearing the clothes of the Seven Star Sword Gate was also very similar to Zhao Kaiyang, but it was different.

However, Ning Xiu saw at a glance that these two swordsmanship should belong to the same origin, just two different forms of expression, and he remembered what Zhao Kaiyang said in the broken temple that day.

He traveled thousands of miles to find his master, who had been missing for decades.

Judging from the strength of this evil ghost, it is obvious that it cannot be his master, then it should be his senior brother, Tianji, who is also one of the seven stars. And Ning Xiu really found a jade plaque from him, and the word "Tianji" was written on it.

Whoa~

At this moment, the sound of flowing water suddenly sounded.

Ning Xiu listened attentively and found that this voice was far and near, making people unable to find their direction at all.

But it was enough to prove that he was not going in the wrong direction, and that was enough.

On the other hand, Yu Shasha's situation is completely different from Ning Xiu.

The passage she had entered was a starry sky.

The stars in the sky made her feel as if she had fallen into a beautiful sea of stars, and a dark coffin was floating in the center of the sea of stars.

The moment she saw the coffin, Yu Shasha's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly flew towards the coffin.

Although this is a sea of stars, it is not a real sea of stars.

Seeing the stars around her quickly retreat, Yu Shasha soon came to the coffin, she raised her eyes, her eyes widened suddenly, only to see the lid of the coffin turned to the side, it seemed that the dead man inside had crawled out......
