Chapter 12: To the Underworld
When the moon is cloudy and the sun is cloudy, the ghost door is wide open.
Somewhere in the 100,000 Great Mountains leading to the underworld, a large number of Yin Spirits are gathering.
After the death of a living being, the soul will be directed to the true underworld, which is actually not recognized by the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, the ghosts who come here are usually some good people, who are often accompanied by ghosts, and lead them into the ghost gate after their death.
Or the soul that was born in this realm and died peacefully in life will be inspired.
Only a very small number of lucky creatures, when they die, a ghost happens to pass by, and they will lead the way by the way, after all, reincarnation in the realm needs souls, and if they are all led away by the real underworld, there will be fewer and fewer creatures in this realm.
At this time, it was the day when the ghost gate was opened once a month, and after the Yucheng Long Clan activated the sacrificial formation, all the children of the clan were brought here by the Great Elder.
This is the agreement made by the ancestor of the immortal clan and the lord of the underworld countless years ago, when the immortal clan is in danger, choose a woman with the strongest talent in the underworld for the lord of the underworld to marry the underworld, in exchange for a place to survive in the underworld.
"Let go of me, ahhh~"
"I don't want to die, I want to go back."
Some of the souls around them who have been captured by the demons wail, these are the souls that have not received the guidance of the true underworld, wandering in the world, wandering in the old home and refusing to leave.
These are still relatively lucky, they were found by the ghost and brought here, otherwise they will be scattered after a month, and they will accept the reorganization of the six reincarnations, the separation of the three souls and the seven spirits, and the recombination with the other three souls and seven spirits, and there will be no chance of reincarnation again.
A few Yin Spirits can be cultivated into ghost cultivators, but generally the end will not be too good, ghost cultivators are not protected by any rules, Heavenly Knights, living beings hate, and cultivators love to become famous for killing ghosts.
And there are two figures at the front of the ghost gate, which are completely different from these crying souls. One was covered in pitch-black armor and held a spear of white bones, the tail of which was stuck in the ground.
The other man's body was surrounded by a cyan ghostfire, which passed freely through the cloak he was wearing, and had no tendency to burn. The two were Xu Zhaobiao and Youjue, who were invited by Meng Ling'er to go to the underworld.
When the bright moon hung high, a gust of cold wind rolled up pieces of black clouds, the ghost gate slowly showed its true appearance, a blue-gray city wall appeared in front of everyone's eyes, all kinds of underworld creatures with knives, forks and sticks in their hands on the city wall stood solemnly, the city gate roared open, and a slender figure dressed in white came out of it.
The white-clothed figure walked to the city gate, raised his hand and took out a dark green scroll from his cuff, unfolded it and read it: "According to the edict of the Lord of the underworld, the law of the underworld, no one who is evil spirits and resentments are not allowed to enter, no one who is riddled with karmic fire, no one who does not obey the law of the underworld, no one who cries and makes noise, and no one who ......."
The white-clothed figure continued after reciting dozens of kinds of yin spirits that are not allowed to enter the underworld: "According to the command of the lord of the underworld, the remnants of the immortal clan have entered the underworld, naturalized into the local creatures of the underworld, and given the territory of the nine thousand miles of mountains in Lingnan. ”
Then all the souls, including the immortals, entered the underworld in an orderly manner, and even the few people who cried at the beginning did not dare to follow the ghost to enter obediently after understanding the stakes.
These souls began to be registered under the city gates, and after the judge in charge of recording them wrote down their names, the souls that were originally similar began to differ, and some of the souls with great good fortune gradually solidified, while those with karmic obstacles did not change.
Soon, all the souls except Xu Zhaobiao and Youjue entered the underworld before the ghost gate was closed, and obviously there was no soul body that was not allowed to enter the underworld as stated at the beginning, otherwise the moment the name was recorded, the karmic fire would burn and the soul would be scattered. This is also a screening rule in the underworld, these souls will still be reincarnated in the Five Elements Realm after a thousand years, if some great traitors can also enter, then there is no need for the mechanism of reincarnation in the realm.
The white-clothed figure stared at Xu Zhaobiao and the others, there were only two people left before the ghost gate closed, and they were not soul bodies, it was too abrupt, and it was difficult not to attract attention.
"When did the two of you leave the underworld, and which clan of the underworld do you belong to, do you know that leaving the underworld without permission is a big sin?" The white-clothed figure asked.
Xu Zhaobiao said: "The two of us have just arrived in the underworld and do not belong to any race. ”
"Nonsense, since you are from the outside world, do you have a way?"
Xu Zhaobiao was just about to answer, when he heard a cold voice coming from inside the ghost gate, "Xiao Anzi, they were invited by me, bring them in." ”
"Yes, Yume-sama." The white-clothed figure turned around and saluted. Then he said to Xu Zhaobiao and Youjue: "There was a lot of offense just now, two of you, please." He invited the two of them in.
Meng Ling'er was born in the underworld nine thousand years ago, and is now the second-strongest lord in the underworld, and it is rumored that his strength can faintly overpower the underworld. The strength of the underworld is respected, and Meng Ling'er has been fighting in the Minghe battlefield all the year round, and she has great prestige in the entire underworld. At this time, Meng Ling'er opened his mouth to release people, unless the Lord of the Underworld was in person, no one could stop him, the rules of the underworld were actually all set by the Lord of the Underworld, and the ghost who was not in the Underworld naturally wanted to give Meng Ling'er a face.
……
On the bank of the Lechuan River, a magnificent wine shop next to the bridge was built not far ahead, Meng Ling'er walked in front, Xu Zhaobiao and Youjue followed behind, and the three of them walked into the wine shop.
Forget the Love Building, Meng Ling'er established a residence in the underworld, and at the same time received the creatures of the underworld to drink here, which also made this place a little more angry.
"Hello Yume-sama."
"It's early for Lord Meng." In the wine shop, the drinkers in Changshu greeted each other.
In the underworld, almost all living beings are in the form of human races, except for native creatures, all souls who come from the yang world to live in the underworld must survive in the underworld for a thousand years before they can be reincarnated, if they are killed, although they can be resurrected in a random location, but everything has to start again, including cultivation, but also age.
Therefore, in the underworld, everyone is an obscene and developed old yin, which also causes that no matter what race in the underworld, it is a default way to exist in human form.
When she came to the wine shop and found a vacant seat, Meng Linger motioned for the two to sit down, "What to drink, do you want to be homesick or homeless, or have a glass of lover's tears?" ”
"Let's have a glass of Lover's Tears." Xu Zhaobiao's expression was a little unnatural, he and Meng Ling'er met in the world decades ago, and then fell in love, when he knew that Meng Ling'er was from the underworld, he decided that people and demons had different ways and resolutely chose to break up, but he didn't know that the ghost horse with him was also a creature in the underworld, and he never thought that he would be like this after he died, and it was such a scene when he met again.
"Ling'er, can I still call you that?" Xu Zhaobiao looked at a loss.
Meng Ling'er didn't speak, but glanced at Youjue next to her.
Yujue got up and walked out with great interest.
……
On the bank of the Lechuan River, a beautiful shadow dressed in white looks at the river alone, the white hair like a waterfall hangs down on the heels, the whole body is snow-white, the posture is beautiful and elegant, the slender hands are stirred together, the eyebrows show some tension and expectation, and the discord is that there is a dark chain on the woman's wrist, ankle, and even slender neck.
Finally, the woman noticed the person behind her, turned around and smiled, it was really like a new flower, beautiful and dizzy, bright and beautiful.
"Youjue, is that you?" The woman's voice was delicate and tactful, but it was difficult to hide a trace of eagerness.
Youjue was slightly stunned, and saw the woman running towards him, tears flashing under her eyelashes, and after walking a few steps, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she plunged into Youjue's arms, hugging him tightly, for fear that she would disappear again in a blink of an eye.
"Girl, you and I meet for the first time, please respect yourself." Youjue tried to push the woman away, but the woman hugged too hard, so she had to say helplessly.
"Youjue, do you remember the little goat that was often bullied when you were a child?"
"Hmm." Youjue vaguely remembered that when he was a child, there was indeed a dirty little goat in the clan, and most of the creatures in the underworld still lived in their own territory, which was more comfortable. But Youjue had never paid close attention to her, and he didn't know what her name was or not, so he had to deal with it.
"I miss you so much, I've been looking for you for many years, and since you left, they bullied me every day, hit me with stones, and no one gave me steamed buns to eat anymore." The woman still hugged Youjue tightly and confided in his arms.
Youjue remembered that her friends would often kick rocks on her body and not play with her, and he was one of them. Once I smashed the leftover steamed buns on her, and she ate them like that. Youjue saw that she was pitiful, so he often threw some steamed buns for her to eat when his friends were away, because if he was found by his friends, he would be ridiculed, and among a group of ghost horses, her dirty little goat was naturally the most unsociable.
It can be said that this is a straight man of steel who has successfully captured the heart of a young girl.
"Have you heard of Bai Ze?"
The Lord shook his head.
"Bai Ze is a special creature that only exists in heaven and earth, only female, and when he becomes an adult, he will awaken the inheritance memory of his ancestors in his bloodline. When I was fifteen years old, I awakened the bloodline inheritance, and my strength began to grow stronger, and in just a few days, no one could bully me anymore. ”
"I learned from memory that my name was Shi Xiaoqiao, a nice name. But as I received more and more inherited memories, the influence of negative emotions in my memories, coupled with the grievances I received since I was a child, my personality became more and more irritable, until I began to lose control and became brutal and murderous, and I killed all the people who bullied me. ”
"Many of them are your people, will you blame me?" Shi Xiaoqiao asked.
"No, it won't." Creatures in the underworld can be reborn immediately after death, but the native creatures of the underworld are not necessarily reborn after death is not necessarily the original race, Youjue has experienced too many lives and deaths with Xu Zhaobiao over the years, and has already seen everything, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, as long as it is an enemy, it should die.
"I killed so many people, the ghosts of the underworld wanted to capture me, and their relatives also wanted to kill me for revenge, after going through one battle after another, I found that no matter how badly I was injured, I would not die, so my strength became stronger and stronger, and then even the underworld was repelled by me. In the end, it was Meng Ling'er who severely injured me and then imprisoned me. Shi Xiaoqiao let go of Youjue and raised the chain on his wrist.
"The Lord of the Underworld wanted to execute me, but it was Lord Dream who stopped the Lord of the Underworld. Dream gradually helped me regain my senses, but I often lost control. Then she told me that Bai Ze has an immortal body, and if I am handed over to the Lord of the Underworld, I will not die even if I am tortured for ten thousand years, but I will suffer in vain. I know what she said is true, these things are recorded in the bloodline inheritance, she gave me two choices, the first is to be imprisoned by her forever, and the second is to ask me to find someone to commit, as long as Bai Ze is pregnant, he will lose his combat effectiveness, he will also lose his immortal body, and he will not lose control again, I chose you, so Mengda arranged for us to meet here. ”
Youjue felt the residual tears and warmth on his chest, and he felt a little lost, even if he didn't open his mind, he also understood the mind of the beauty in front of him, and said with a smile: "Lord Dream said that the bank of the Lechuan River helped me break through, but I didn't expect it to introduce me to a marriage." ”
"Giggles, I'm the one who can help you break through." Shi Xiaoqiao smiled first, then his smile dimmed again, and said sadly: "Bai Ze is the best furnace in the world, otherwise there would not be so many negative emotions in the inheritance memory, from being bullied when he was a child, to being chased and killed when he was an adult, and then being arrested as a furnace, and finally pregnant with the enemy's child, most of the ancestors in the memory died with such hatred." Thinking of this, Shi Xiaoqiao's mood began to fluctuate violently again.
Seeing that the person in front of him was so sad, Youjue couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, reached out to take Shi Xiaoqiao into his arms, and reached out to stroke her hair on the back of his back.
Seeing that the beautiful woman in her arms gradually regained her calm, Youjue said: "I don't know how the master and Lord Meng talked about it." ”
"Can you tell me about you all these years?" Shi Xiaoqiao asked.
"Decades ago, Master Dream took me to the human world, and she asked me to sign a contract with a human, and then use my natural skills to transform that human into a necromancy when he dies."
"They broke up from that day, I don't know what happened to them until then, I've been fighting with my master all these years, and I've seen too much of the cruelty of war."
"They are really very similar, there are wars in the underworld all the time, and Lord Dream has been fighting on the Styx battlefield all these years." Stone Bridge Road.
"Is the Minghe Battlefield just appearing all these years?"
"Yes, twenty years ago, a lot of ghosts suddenly appeared in the River Styx in the north, they can easily tear apart ordinary underworld souls, and most of the powerful people in the underworld are now guarding on both sides of the Styx, and most of the creatures here are killed and reborn, and their strength is no longer there, and they are similar to the souls who have just entered the underworld."
Then maybe the master will also be willing to stay in the underworld, "Let's go, let's go in and see them." ”
"Hmm."
Forget the inside of the building
"How are you going back to the yang world now?"
"Tianwei State has constant internal and external troubles, I can't rest assured that Brother Wang, Ling'er, you can send me back."
"With your current status, rashly attacking mortals will lead to heavenly punishment, do you know the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, I won't let you go back."
The two were arguing in the Forgetful Building, and the surrounding drinkers were drinking with their heads down, and even some of the drinkers were still bowing their heads and pretending to have wine in their glasses after they had finished drinking, and no one dared to move at this time.
Youjue and Shi Xiaoqiao walked in, "Master, Lord Dream." Youjue said.
"Get out!" Meng Ling'er scolded.
"Dream-sama, let me persuade the master." The Lord pleaded.
"Hmph." Meng Ling'er snorted coldly, sat down and stopped talking, obviously there was no way to take Xu Zhaobiao, and agreed to Youjue's request.
"Master, the underworld is also in danger of war at this time, Lord Meng also needs your help, it is inconvenient for us to interfere in the Tianwei Kingdom, after all, the underworld cannot participate in the affairs of the yang world, but we can let Lord Dream send a ghost messenger to wait by the side of King Tianwei, if he is unfortunate enough to die, he can also reunite with you in the underworld.
In this way, you don't have to worry about the things in the yang world if you stay in the underworld, in fact, whether you live in the yang world or the underworld, it is the same. Youjue persuaded.
Meng Ling'er saw that Xu Zhaobiao was a little moved, so she added a little more bargaining chips: "If you are willing to stay, you can still lead your subordinates in the underworld." Saying that, Meng Ling'er shouted outside the building, "Let them in." ”
Then a neat array of soldiers' souls walked in from outside, apparently the spear guards who had died that day.
"Commander!"
"Lord Archon, it's great to see you in the Underworld!"
"Fart, it's great to be able to meet the Lord in the underworld, you can't speak, and no one treats you as dumb."
“……”
Xu Zhaobiao was also surprised and moved to see his former subordinates reappearing in front of him, and counted carefully: "There are sixty-four people missing." ”
Meng Ling'er said: "They didn't die, they escaped." ”
Xu Zhaobiao was relieved.
Meng Ling'er said again: "In this case, I will send a ghost messenger to wait on the side of Tianwei Kingdom, so you can stay in the underworld with peace of mind." ”
"Ling'er, thank you."
Xu Zhaobiao's thank you is sincere, Meng Ling'er has obviously been paying attention to herself all these years after leaving.
Even the brothers who died in battle with him were brought to the underworld together, which made Xu Zhaobiao feel the sweetness of being cared for.
