Di Ting took Gu Yunzhe and walked in the other direction, and did not return from the same way it came, because there were hundreds of thousands of Western Underworld troops in that direction. When I heard it, I experienced nine deaths once, and I didn't want to go through it a second time. Gu Yunzhe was very unfamiliar with this place, did not express any opinions, and silently followed him.

Suddenly, Gu Yunzhe remembered a question and looked at the dark red color around him, "Listen, in this dark place, how to calculate time." ”

Di Ting said as he walked, "Although this place is different from the world, the time is indeed the same. If you can see me, you must have opened your eyes. This belongs to the Western Underworld, and the tide is used to calculate the time, not the tide of the sea, but their sad river, although this sad river is called a river, but it is wider and deeper than the sea, and the tides at different times of the day inundate the height of the Yanshan Mountain are different, and the red rays emitted by the Yanshan Mountain also change. In short, the light and shade changes of the red mangs represent the four times of the world: early morning, early morning, noon, and evening. However, the time of day varies depending on the tides, so they now use clocks. ”

Gu Yunzhe listened to the freshness, and the last sentence amused him, "Why, the underworld also uses things from the world." ”

Di Ting smiled, "This thing does not distinguish between yin and yang, and it is very practical everywhere." ”

"Then what about our Netherworld Mansion in Huaxia, do you also use clocks?" Gu Yunzhe asked with some curiosity, he looked at his empty wrist, since he had a fight with the scourge, his watch turned into molten iron, and he had never brought a watch with him.

Di Ting nodded, "Yes, indeed." However, the method of Taohua timing has not been abandoned. ”

"Peach Blossom Timekeeping? What kind of thing is this? The peach blossom timing that Di Ting said made Gu Yunzhe feel fresh.

"Do you know that there is a peach mountain in our underworld, and there is a huge peach tree on it, and this peach tree is also the place where the ghost gate is located. The peach tree shines brightly every day, and we calculate the time according to the changes on it, and the time is generally two with the sun on earth. However, the watch is more accurate. ”

I see, Gu Yunzhe suddenly said, "Does the King of Jizo need a watch?" ”

Di Ting stopped abruptly and tilted his head to look at Gu Yunzhe, "My king and Niangniang, that's Da Luo Jin Xian, how can you need these useless things." ”

"Mother? Which sissy? Gu Yunzhe sounded very familiar, after all, Wucai called his master Nuwa Niangniang, which is the honorific title "Niangniang", is it Nuwa?

Di Ting shook his head and expressed disdain for Gu Yunzhe's question, "Of course it's Hou Tu Niang!" Could it be that there are other mothers here? ”

Gu Yunzhe has heard of this Hou Tu Niang, after all, there is a folk saying "Huang Tian Hou Tu Tu", which is mentioned by this Hou Tu Niang. It is a god with the same status as the Emperor of Heaven, and of course the mana is also boundless. "Then the King of the Earth Bodhisattva and the Hou Tu Niang Niang are in the underworld, who is in charge."

Di Ting shook his head, "The master of the underworld of China is the queen of the earth." My king is in second place, and he is the main thing. Back then, when the Western Underworld was powerful in the Netherworld of China, it didn't dare to make a mistake, so it captured the place of the six reincarnations of the Shi family. At the time of the crisis, Huaxia stepped in to relieve the siege. So the Lord of the Six Realms, King Jizo Bodhisattva, joined the Chinese Netherworld, and after nearly a thousand years of integration, they have been inseparable from each other, forming a pattern of 'three mountains and two mansions, three rivers and three seas, eighteen prisons, and six reincarnations'. The three mountains are Youdu Mountain, Dushuo Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, the two mansions are the Emperor Xudu, the two mansions of the Dongyue Emperor, the three rivers are the nine springs, the quicksand river and the weak water, the three seas are the Yellow Spring Stygian Sea, the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, and the Beiming Black Sea, the eighteen hells are connected with the six reincarnations. Although Di Ting felt that Gu Yunzhe was asking some questions very idiotic, he was still patient and simply explained the organizational structure of the Netherworld, so as to save him from making jokes when he returned to the underworld.

A man and a beast wandered in this scorched earth, and the narration of the truth also opened Gu Yunzhe's eyes, it turned out that there were so many departments in this underworld, which was not much simpler than the world.

According to the method of identifying the time that Di Ting told him, it was estimated that they had walked for nearly three days before they saw a large black forest in the distance, and Di Ting could not leave. Tell Gu Yunzhe that it is the Witch Forest, and it is said that there are wizards with extremely high witch power living in it, and there are countless aliens of trials under him. All the trees in this forest are black and have a highly toxic liquid attached to them. The forest is full of filthy miasma, and there are even mud swamps under the leaves in some places, and there is no chance of survival if you fall into it, and there are many poisonous snakes and beasts that survive in it.

Gu Yunzhe looked at it, as Di had heard, the black trees were dense, and there was a faint black gas floating above them, and at its height, there were thick clouds, and electric light flashed in them from time to time. Although he is not afraid of thunder and lightning, he does not know if he is not afraid of it. Moreover, if you encounter danger from above and are discovered by the wizards on the ground, you will be caught in a bitter battle of being alone. Thinking that the shadow body of the six-headed demon god at that time could easily defeat Lei Jiao, he didn't dare to take this risk.

They looked at the witch forest from afar, a little overwhelmed. After all, although Di Ting has heard of it, he has never been there, and he does not understand the real situation inside.

Gu Yunzhe pointed to the clouds in the sky, "Are you afraid of lightning?" ”

Di Ting shook his head violently, "No, I'm most afraid of thunder and lightning, especially thunder. "It turns out that Diting is known for its good listening, although it can perceive any subtle sound, but there is a drawback, you can't hear particularly loud sounds, and you are even more afraid of the sound of lightning and thunderbolts. If there is thunder in its ears, it will faint.

Gu Yunzhe sighed, it seemed that the strategy that swept from above would not work, so he could only bite the bullet and pass through this dark forest.

Di Ting lay on the ground with bated breath, and listened quietly for a long time before raising his head, "I heard very few sounds inside, I don't know if they were recruited to attack the underworld, or if they went out en masse." ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at it, and said with a smile, "They must be going to attack my Huaxia, will they still go out to travel." If only there was no one, there would be less danger for the two of us. ”

Di Ting nodded, very much agreed with Gu Yunzhe's opinion, and then said something that made Gu Yunzhe vomit blood, "Otherwise, you go in first and take a look." ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at Di Ting with a depressed face, "If there is no danger, you can go in again, right?" Treat me like a pathfinder, and forget that you came to invite me. Don't embarrass King Jizo, go in together. With that, he patted Di Ting's head, stood up, and walked towards the Witch Forest.

Di listened to the back and muttered a few words, stood up, ran two steps and followed.

The two of them soon came to the edge of the forest, and the trees in front of them froze them both. I didn't see it clearly from a long distance just now, but now I can see it clearly, although these trees are not tall, they are more than ten meters long, and the branches on them hang down to the ground, twisting and swaying all the time, like dragons and snakes. There are also a lot of leaves on it, but instead of black, they are dark brown, and they do look black from a distance. Through the gaps in the trees, you can see that the trees inside are all the same. The ground at the edge of the woods extends outwards for almost ten meters, and it is hard soil. Until the junction with the scorched earth was a pile of black gravel that separated the two surfaces like a line, as if someone had agreed upon it.

Gu Yunzhe and Di Ting glanced at each other, this scene made them not expect. Gu Yunzhe picked up a stone and gently turned it towards the writhing branches. When the stone hit the branch, it was bounced elsewhere, and the branch was like a dead thing, and it didn't react at all. The writhing of these tree branches should be just an unconscious act.

Gu Yunzhe was still a little uneasy, the golden light flashed in his hand, and he just wanted to pop it out. But it was stopped by Di Ting stepping forward, Gu Yunzhe looked at it, "Why stop me." ”

Di Ting turned his head to look at the golden light in Gu Yunzhe's hand, "Hurry up and put it away!" If I'm not mistaken, your golden light is the most masculine thing. Remember, in this underworld, you can use fire, you can use thunder, but don't have such a thing. If you hit it, this strange tree, even if it is a dead thing, will be activated, and even the entire underworld will know about our existence. At that time, those unexpected evil spirits and foreign objects will come and tear us apart. After all, the things of the sunshine do not belong here at all. ”

"Do they hate the sun?" Gu Yunzhe asked a little puzzled.

Di Ting shook his head gently, his emotions were also a little lost, and he turned his head and looked at the black trees in front of him, "It's not hate, but longing." The spirits here are forced to do so, and if it is possible to receive sunlight, it is the lifelong wish of every spirit, the desire of life. ”

Gu Yunzhe had already put away the golden light, and also noticed the change in Di Ting's mood, and pushed its front legs with his hand, and found that the fine hair on its body was smooth as silk, "Do you also yearn for life under the sun, I can take you up to have a look." If King Jizo allows, you can stay forever. I have a house there, you can choose. ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he seemed to smile, "Thank you for the invitation, but after all, I belong to this netherworld." If you appear in the human world, you will be punished by the laws of the world. ”

After listening to its words, Gu Yunzhe felt a familiar feeling, as if he had heard it somewhere. I was stunned for a long time, and suddenly it occurred to me that Wucai had said such a thing. "By the way, isn't that black hole you let me in just that kind of spatial boundary, is this spatial boundary easy to open, isn't it a lot of effort?"

Di Ting smiled, "That black hole is just a channel, not a spatial boundary. After all, we are still on this planet, and the lake is one of our channels, and the water on it is real, but we have adopted a trick. In your present words, it is spatial overlap. ”

"I see. I said, there's oxygen here. Gu Yunzhe said with some emotion. After saying that, a bright lightning ball appeared in his hand and threw it at the black tree.

As soon as the lightning touched the black tree, it exploded, and the slightest lightning traveled on the branches. After being struck by lightning, the trees were momentarily still. After about five or six minutes, the tree continued to writhe.

Gu Yunzhe frowned slightly, he knew that the lightning ball just now was a genuine Skynet, although it was not very powerful, it was not something that ordinary trees could withstand. However, the tree in front of him was completely fine. It seems that this witch forest is extraordinary.

He crept over to the tree, and touched the trunk with his hand as he watched him in astonishment. The bark of the tree did have something like black lacquer, and it smelled of some kind of evil fragrance. Piercing it with his fingers, half a finger deep, he felt the hard trunk of the tree. A few fingers grabbed it, and the palm-sized bark was taken off with the black thing on it. The red trunk is exposed, and it exudes a fragrance.

Di Ting also smelled this fragrance, leaned over to look at the trunk, sniffed it carefully, and exclaimed, "Yin fragrant wood! ”

"Yin Xiangmu? What kind of wood is this. Gu Yunzhe asked curiously.

"It is the camphor wood in your world, which can ward off insects and ants. This is supposed to be a kind of sun-loving wood, how can it appear here, and grow like this. Di Ting was a little puzzled.

A flame rose in Gu Yunzhe's hand, enveloping the bark. After a while, remove the flames and check again. I found that the flames just now only made the bark warm, and the black thing began to bubble a lot, emitting a fishy smell, which was originally very viscous, and shrank into a layer of dry skin at first. I shook my finger and didn't see anything else, so I stuck it back in place.

The strange place appeared to him, as soon as the bark was put back, the black things around it gathered in the middle, and after a short time, it was covered again.

He just wanted to beckon Di Ting into the forest, but found Di Ting hiding far away, and looked at him with a frightened face, "What's wrong with you, why are you hiding so far?" ”

"That thing was highly poisonous just now, and you started burning it when you held it in your hand, so you're not afraid of death." Di Ting stood in the distance and said loudly.

Gu Yunzhe looked down at his body, there was not much change, "Maybe my physical fitness is good, but I don't feel it now." Yes! As soon as he finished speaking, he fell on his back.
