Chapter 1: The Netherworld

Next Chapter

A thick gray fog filled the world, like a gauze from the sky, and the distant peaks appeared and disappeared in the thick fog, watching the valley like a giant.

"Boy, stop and don't run"

"Stinky boy, don't run"

Two cries came from the valley, and a stumbling thin figure rushed out of the valley, his face full of nervousness and uneasiness, leaning against a big tree and gasping for breath, when he heard hurried footsteps, the young man touched his bulging chest and spread his legs and began to run again

"Boy, leave the fairy grass and we will spare your life, otherwise today will be your death!" the two tall figures shouted after the young man

"Only fools stay, and you won't let me go if you stay"

The boy turned his head and snorted, and then ran faster into the thick fog.

The young man's name is Yang Yi, an abandoned baby, who was picked up by the Yang family in the town when he was a few months old, and his name was also given by a fortune teller, but his fate was ill, and his adoptive father died of illness when he was seven years old, and his adoptive mother died in the same year, leaving only a four-year-old daughter.

At first, he lived on the relief of his neighbors, but his neighbors were not rich, let alone raising two more.

Later, he was introduced to the teahouse in the town as a buddy, but it was barely enough for the two of them to live, and his sister's name was Yang Xin, who was born lively and cute, smart and clever, but a little malnourished and had a sallow face. When his parents died, Yang Yi assumed the responsibility of this family.

Yang Yi is not unwilling to live, nor is he an outlaw, twelve-year-old Yang Yi bears the responsibility of not being at this age, and does not want his young sister to live a precarious life.

coincided with the opening of the Netherworld Valley, so Yang Yi decided to go into the Netherworld Valley to fight, just wanting to exchange for a better future for his sister.

Fifty miles west of the town, Netherworld is shrouded in a thick gray fog that the sun doesn't seem to shine into. There is only one entrance to the Netherworld, and it is flanked on both sides by rugged and steep peaks, and no one knows how big it is, because no one can make it to the end.

Legend has it that there is a big devil sealed inside, and the seal will be opened for three days every ten years on the night of the full moon, and there is a healing holy grass that is not in the outside world, and the aura is rich, but every time only young mortals who do not touch the fairy spirit can enter, but the master who cultivates the magic of the immortal family can't enter, and as soon as he gets close, he will bleed to death in seven orifices, even if the immortals who are deep in the Tao and can fly to the sky, they can't enter.

Therefore, every ten years, various sects will send people to the town to look for mortals to collect immortal grass, and those who pick fairy grass will get a lot of gold and a chance to buckle the immortal gate. Those who have cultivation qualifications will be taken away to teach the immortal law, and those who do not have cultivation qualifications will also be paid handsomely.

It's just that this Netherworld Valley is extremely dangerous, the fog is thick, and there will be vicious beasts guarding the fairy grass, which can be described as a life of nine deaths, and many people who are forced by life in exchange for a chance to practice will go in and fight.

Yang Yi, who was only twelve years old, resolutely went into the Netherworld Valley to find fairy grass in order to give his sister a chance to change his life.

Yang Yi came in this is the second day, and finally saw a fairy grass on the edge of a waterhole, and a huge python was sleeping next to it, Yang Yi carefully took it down but was unfortunately seen by Li Yuanwai's son Li Ao, so he forced Yang Yi to hand it over, Yang Yi naturally refused, it was very dangerous inside, it was really not easy to find a fairy grass, so he ran away.

Suddenly, Yang Yi's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he saw a big river several zhang wide in front of him blocking the way, Yang Yi gasped heavily, his face was full of despair and unwillingness.

Then the Yang brothers also chased to the river, and one of them, Li Ao, who was wearing a yellow silk robe, looked at Yang Yi with his waist crossed

"Run, boy, now look where you're going, obediently hand over the fairy grass, otherwise... Hmph, today is your death!"

After saying that, he laughed coldly, Yang Yi looked at the two people opposite and then looked at the big river behind him, his face full of struggle and despair.

Li Si, the family member of the Li family next to him, opened his mouth and said, "How about boy, do you hand it over yourself or let me do it!"

Yang Yi's teeth were gritted, and an uncontrollable anger flashed in his eyes, like an enraged lion, the Li family has always been rampant and domineering in the town with money, in the fish and meat township, who would have thought that he would be met by Yang Yi, but thinking of his sister at home, if he didn't give it, he would die here today, what should his sister do, Yang Yi clenched his fist and touched his chest with some trembling

"Fairy grass for you, can you let me go?"

A grim gaze flashed in Li Ao's eyes, and he glanced at his entourage and said, "Give me the fairy grass, I will definitely not embarrass you."

Yang Yi took out the vibrant green fairy grass from his arms, stroked it gently, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and then put it on the ground. Li Ao immediately tilted his head to the entourage, and the entourage nodded and walked towards Yang Yi, picked up the fairy grass and handed it to Li Ao, at this time Li Ao took it in his hand and looked at it for a while

"It's fairy grass, that's right!"

When Yang Yi was about to turn around and leave, Li Ao sneered and said, "Kill him", Yang Yi suddenly panicked, Yang Yi was bullied by Li Ao since he was a child, and the two had fought many times, but none of them reached the point where the other party died.

I didn't expect that Li Ao, who was not much older than Yang Yi, would really want to kill him.

Li Ao sneered and said, "I said to let you go, but my entourage didn't say that I wanted to let you go!"

Yang Yi opened his eyes angrily, the green tendons on his forehead bulged with the hewhirring breath, and gritted his teeth and said, "Li Ao, you will not die well."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by Li Si's neck and lifted up, and the entourage sneered and said, "Boy, this is to blame for your bad life, who let you offend our third young master"

Yang Yi grabbed the hands of his entourage with both hands, where was Yang Yi, who had been malnourished since childhood, Li Si's opponent, his mouth was open~ah~ but he couldn't speak, his eyes began to roll white, and his hands slowly hung down and stopped moving, and then he was thrown into the river several zhang wide, and soon disappeared by the river, and then Li Ao and the two disappeared in the thick fog. Yang Yi only felt that it was difficult to breathe, and then he lost consciousness...

A sharp pain suddenly woke Yang Yi up, Yang Yi looked at the arm full of blood, frowned in pain, maybe his hand was broken in the process of the river rushing, and there was a monkey with blood-red fur crawling on his chest, the monkey's hair was blood-red, as if it was dyed red with blood, and a pair of glowing eyes looked a little bewitching in the dim light

"Did you save me?" Yang Yi said to the monkey

As if he didn't understand, the monkey jumped off him. Looking around, I found that there was a circular cave, but I couldn't see where it was, the light shone in along the round cave, and I could vaguely see that the cave was not big, so Yang Yi stood up with difficulty and looked at the cave.

The monkey squeaked ~ squeak~ and shouted at the dark place, Yang Yi endured the pain and walked to the corner of the monkey's finger, and saw a huge fairy grass in the dark through the faint sunlight, and there was a red fruit on it, Yang Yi was immediately overjoyed, and then endured the severe pain and walked over, and the monkey's fruit on the fairy grass squeaked ~ squeaked

"You let me take them all off?" Yang Yi asked the monkey. The monkey nodded and squeaked again~ squeaked twice, Yang Yi picked the fruit and took out a small bag and carefully packed it, the monkey dug out a black bead next to the fairy grass and handed it to Yang Yi, it was full of dirt, Yang Yi picked it up and wiped it on his clothes, and slowly leaked out of the appearance, take a closer look, the beads are not stone or gold and are green, and they are smashed on the stones, and the stones are smashed but the beads are not damaged at all.

"What is this?" Yang Yi studied for a long time and didn't understand what it was, so he put it in the hidden pocket on his chest, Yang Yi took off the tattered thin shirt outside, wrapped it around it and tied a knot, and hung his broken left hand around his neck, and the blood that had not yet coagulated stained his shirt red along his arm, Yang Yi just wanted to leave here as soon as possible, for fear of missing the three-day period.

Blood seeped through the clothes on the green bead, a soft light that Yang Yi couldn't see with the naked eye flashed, the blood seemed to be absorbed by the green bead to form a dry blood scab, the green bead seemed to be alive and slowly integrated into Yang Yi's body, Yang Yi was not aware of these changes, but felt that his hand was not as painful as just now.
