Chapter 478: How to get to Netherworld
In order to rescue Ouyang Qing, Tian Xiaoding followed the ghost clan and jumped into the Forgotten Dust River and came to the Netherworld.
Before he could leave the river, he overheard the conversation of the ghosts waiting for him on the shore.
Only then did I know that the so-called people from the Demon Law Enforcement Division before bullied the three brothers of the Wang family was a bitter plan designed by the ghost people, in order to trick Xiao Ding and the three of them into coming to the Netherworld, and then arrest them and send them to the ghost king to make a blood sacrifice furnace.
From the conversations of these ghost people, Xiao Ding also learned that the purpose of their previous bureau to arrest the demon princess was also to use it as a furnace for that ghost king.
As far as Xiao Ding knew, most of the exercises used to cultivate with the furnace tripod were evil exercises. The biggest feature of these evil exercises is that they progress rapidly, many times faster than the speed of cultivating ordinary exercises.
However, to practice these evil exercises, you need to use humans or other species as furnaces.
Different exercises have different requirements for furnace tripods.
For example, some exercises will use the nun as a furnace, and in the form of double cultivation, unilaterally take it until the nun's body is sucked dry.
There are also exercises that use boys and girls as furnaces to absorb the Yuan Yin and Yuan Yang Qi in the bodies of boys and girls to improve their cultivation.
There is also what Xiao Ding just heard, using human blood or beast blood with a special physique as a furnace for sacrifice, absorbing the energy in these special bloods, and achieving the effect of breaking through cultivation.
Ouyang Qing is a Xuanbing body, and he is also a human with a special physique, so it is easy to understand that he is favored by the ghost clan. But Xiao Ding couldn't understand that he and Ahri were just ordinary physiques, and even Xiao Ding didn't even have a heavenly root congenitally, and his heavenly roots were all reshaped using secret methods later, why did the ghost people also think about him and Ahri?
At this time, I heard a majestic unfamiliar voice say: "Okay, don't talk about it, it is estimated that the remaining two humans are also about to arrive, everyone cheers up, and strives to catch them all at once." ”.m
Hearing this voice, Xiao Ding was stunned again, it seems that there are not only five or six people pretending to be the Demon Law Enforcement Division on the shore, but it is estimated that there are still masters waiting for him to take it.
So, Xiao Ding let go of his divine sense and probed towards the shore again, this time he actually found that he didn't know when it started, and there were more than a dozen ghost people on the shore, among which the first one was a ghost clansman, who looked ugly and terrifying, but he was already a person in the realm of ghost generals. It was this ghost clan who spoke just now.
The ghost people are all Ah Piao, no matter where they go, they are all floating around, silently. Therefore, Xiao Ding just focused on eavesdropping, and it was normal that he didn't notice that another ghost clan person had arrived.
In addition to the ghost general who was the leader, the more than ten ghost people he brought were also cultivators of the ghost warrior level, which was equivalent to the foundation building period of the human race.
Xiao Ding weighed it in his heart, and felt that he might not have much chance of winning by relying on himself and Ahri to deal with so many ghost people. Moreover, even if you can defeat them through some special means, what can you do? Ouyang Qing was not here, and after listening to their discussion before, it seemed that he had already been sent to Netherworld. Winning against these ghost clansmen will also not save Ouyang Qing, so why waste time here?
Thinking of this, Xiao Ding pulled Ahri beside him, and then pointed in the direction of the downstream of the river, meaning that we secretly swam downstream.
Ahri has a cultivation that can be compared to that of a Jindan monk, and naturally she can also find people on the shore and overhear their conversations, so she immediately understood what Xiao Ding meant.
So the two of them quietly swam in the water, like fish, and secretly swam downstream.
In order to prevent it from being detected by the ghost people on the shore through their divine sense. Xiao Ding and the two also performed concealment and stealth techniques.
Concealment can hide the aura and spirit of the two. Invisibility is able to hide the figures of the two men.
Moreover, the two of them didn't dare to paddle hard, basically after relaxing their bodies, they naturally went straight down the river with the current.
Sure enough, after drifting a few miles downstream, the ghost people who were waiting on the shore could not find any trace of Xiao Ding and the others.
At this time, Xiao Ding and Ahri dared to leak their heads out of the water quietly.
As soon as his head came out of the water, Xiao Ding saw that this was a dark world. But it wasn't entirely dark, for there was a dim moon hanging above the sky, glowing with a bleak light. On the land on both sides of the Forgotten Dust River, there will also be ghost fires flickering from time to time, and some ghost fires can even move on their own, glowing with a blue and faint light, which is a little crazy.
There are also some plants endemic to the Netherworld. Xiao Ding had seen some introductions to the spirit plants used by ghost cultivators on the Encyclopedia of Cultivation before, such as corpse ginseng, corpse flower, ghost grass, soul breaking wood, and so on. But he couldn't name any of the ordinary plants in front of him. In terms of appearance, among these plants, there are trees, grasses, and flowers.
It's just that these plants are filled with some dark and dull dead air, so that people can't see the slightest bit of life, but they are still really growing.
Xiao Ding and Ahri observed for a while, and saw that there were no ghost people nearby, so the two climbed ashore from the river. Perform the exercises to dry the wet clothes on your body. Then Xiao Ding let go of his divine sense again and carefully probed around here. After making sure that there were indeed no ghost people nearby, Xiao Ding said, "I heard from them, I have sent Qing'er to Netherworld." We don't know which direction the Netherworld is in. If we want to find the Netherworld, we'll have to ask the Ghost Clansmen. ”
Ahri frowned and said, "However, as soon as the ghost people see us, they want to drink our blood, how can they tell us the location of the Netherworld?" ”
Xiao Ding thought for a while, and then said: "You don't have to worry about this, I have a ghost transformation mask, I can use it to transform into a ghost clan, and then ask the location of the Netherworld from the ghost clan's mouth." ”
Ahri praised in surprise: "Brother Tian, you have more ideas." ”
Xiao Ding shook his head lightly and said, "However, when we walk on the road, it is better to use stealth techniques." If the Oni find out about our whereabouts, it will cause us a lot of trouble. Oh no, before we even reached Netherworld, we were already killed by the ghost people on the way. ”
Ahri shook his head and said, "No, their ghost people said they were going to capture us alive and give it to some ghost king in the Netherworld." ”
Xiao Ding smiled slightly and said, "I'm just making an analogy." ”
Ahri shrugged and said, "Okay, then we'll move forward incognito." ”
In fact, for Xiao Ding and Ahri's cultivation at this time, performing the stealth technique is already a piece of cake.
Especially Xiao Ding, this is not what it used to be, when he was in the early and middle stages of Qi training, the aura in his body was not so abundant, and when he cast the stealth technique, it sometimes affected other spells he cast at the same time. And now it's very different. Although he has not yet built a foundation, he has reached the twenty-seventh level of Qi training, which can also be compared to the strength of a monk in the foundation building period.
After the two of them hid their figures, they walked upstream along the riverbank.
Xiao Ding actually wanted to see if the ghost people who were guarding the river before had left now. If they haven't left, you can actually keep an eye on them. Sooner or later, these people will return to the Netherworld to resume their lives. As long as you follow them all the time, it will not be difficult to find Netherworld.
It's just that the cultivation of these ghost clansmen is not low, and if they are a little careless, it will still be easy to be exposed and discovered by them.
It's just that Xiao Ding has explored his current location through his divine sense, and there is an empty wilderness before and after, and he has not found any signs of ghost people's activities. Therefore, he decided to venture back to the way he came from and secretly observe the ghost people who were guarding the river.
The two of them did not dare to fly with a flying cloud shuttle or a flying sword. Because if you fly in the air, the spiritual power fluctuation is too huge, even if you are stealthy, it will also be easy to expose the target.
If you can't fly, you can only walk on the ground.
When walking, as long as you don't use too much force, it won't cause too much fluctuation in spiritual power, and it won't be so easy to be discovered.
However, the two of them drifted with the tide in the river before, and drifted a total distance of nearly ten miles. If you were to fly with a magic weapon, you might be able to reach it in the blink of an eye. However, if you are walking, it will take some time if you can't perform the light body technique and other similar exercises.
The two of them are invisible, walking and stopping, and when communicating with each other on the road, both of them also use sound transmission to prevent the sound from being discovered by the ghost people.
In this netherworld, there is an eerie dead air everywhere. As the two of them walked along the road, every now and then they could see some black bats streaking through the air. These bats in the Netherworld also have a strange and terrifying face.
In the wilderness, bones can be seen everywhere. Some of the bones were still shining with blue ghostly fire, flickering and dimming.
The gloomy dead air is suffocating.
There is no day or night in this world, and the bright moon in the sky has always hung in the middle of the sky, motionless, as if it had also lost its vitality.
The two of them walked for about half an hour, and finally returned to the same place where they had come.
At this time, the ghost people waiting on the shore still have five or six ghost warriors waiting there. It's just that seeing their sleepy appearance, it is estimated that they are already tired.
The previous ghost general and most of his subordinates have long since left, and it is estimated that they have no patience to wait.
After the ghost people recovered their bodies, they all became ugly and terrifying, and Xiao Ding couldn't identify whether the remaining ghost people were the people who pretended to be the Demon Law Enforcement Division before.
Xiao Ding and Ahri stopped from a distance, preparing to spy on these ghost people.
