Chapter 6: Yecheng
On the ancient city gate several hundred meters high, two big characters are engraved: Yecheng.
The walls of the huge stone walls stretch out from side to side, and the end of the eye is not endless, as if it is endless.
Under the city gate is a passage nearly 200 meters wide, and on the left and right sides stand a group of scaly defenders, with human figures, centaurs, bears, tigers, and leopards...... All have a strong atmosphere.
There were a lot of spirits coming and going on the road, and most of them were also wearing armor and weapons, like adventurers. There are also a few who drive ferocious vehicles, and occasionally ride the souls of underworld creatures, majestic and hugging back and forth.
Wang Junyao was as curious as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, looked left and right, and slowly walked into the city. Especially some soul girls, angel faces, devil figures, all kinds of amorous style, quite eye-catching.
In the instructions of the underworld, the two nearest giant cities after the Ghost Gate Pass, Yuncheng and Yecheng, are introduced. Take the turbidity of the Huangquan River as the dividing line, one south and one north, looking across the river.
The area of each city is more than one-fifth of the territory of China, like two or three provinces with a vast area. In these two cities, there are a total of more than a billion souls, and some souls directly give up the opportunity to be reincarnated, and cultivate in the body of ghosts here, looking for immortality, and seeking immortal paths.
At the beginning, there were many gods on the list, but there were many great powers who were gods with souls and ranked in the immortal class.
Some souls experience a different life here than in the yang world, and then go on to reincarnation; Some souls have earned enough money here to choose reincarnation and fight for an afterlife; And some souls are stranded here, not reincarnated, and after the limit, they will be wiped out.
In short, all kinds of fish and dragons are mixed, and they are the red dust of the underworld.
Wang Junyao walked through the city gate and looked up at the layers of high-rise buildings and rows of shops on the street, as if he had traveled to a city in the sun. It's just those strangely dressed and strangely shaped souls, and the public transportation made by the creatures of the underworld is reminding him that this is the underworld, the underworld, and the Yecheng.
The wide main street is also endless, and the thirty-meter-wide soul path on both sides is full of souls, lively and noisy. The buildings dozens of meters above the ground are lit up with neon, intertwined with light and shadow, outlining different figures and interpreting wonderful stories.
After watching it for a while, Wang Junyao realized, "This is similar to holographic projection, it is an advertisement." ”
There are chic and wanton knights, gods and demons who destroy the world, fairy-like beauties, and hotly dressed girls...... They are all exporting their own cultural values, in fact, they are selling equipment, cultivating exercises, soul food, and pills......
"Now the underworld, is it also so involuted?" Wang Junyao was dumbfounded, "The commercial atmosphere is too strong." ”
"Brother, where are you going? Or who to go to? I am most familiar with the route of Yecheng, and I can find all the corners, so I will take you there. The living map of the time-honored brand, Tong Suo is not bullied. As long as 10,000 yuan of heaven and earth, you have to pay for the round-trip journey for more than 10 kilometers. A little girl in her teens came up and said, she was smart and capable. has a cute baby face, but he looks old-fashioned.
"Brother?!" Wang Junyao looked at this soul that looked like he was at most twelve years old, and couldn't help but smile, ready to reach out and touch his head. "How old are you little brat? I'm twenty-eight, you should call me uncle. ”
"Twenty-eight? Counting the age of the yang world, I estimate that I must be a thousand years old. Calling you brother, or you take advantage. The little girl-like soul rolled her eyes, slapped away her outstretched hand, and said with a look of disdain. You're a living soul who just arrived in the underworld, right? Here we only talk about the number of days in the underworld, not the number of years in the yang world. ”
The underworld is a small part of the underworld, and the real underworld is vast.
Wang Junyao was dumbfounded, what the other party said was also reasonable, and he withdrew his palm stupidly. One day in the underworld, one year in the sun. In this way, the soul of a little girl has been in the underworld for two or three years.
"What's your name? Why not reincarnate. Wang Junyao was a little curious, there were many souls of this kind in the distance, all looking for guests to lead the way to make money.
"I forgot the original name, just call me Pineapple." The little girl said freely, with a look of indifference, and said, "Why do you want to be reincarnated?" There is no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, and you can live freely and freely, without so many bad things. ”
The watermelon-skinned hair, with two handfuls of dull hair, and a round face that does look like a pineapple. Is it really good for a girl to be called by that name?
"When I have saved enough money, I can also cultivate the True Dao and seek immortality. Reincarnated in a lower world is still an object of oppression, so why bother? ”
"Hey, hey, do you want to lead the way? There is also a charge for chatting only! "Pineapple said angrily, the fat look is cute.
also said that he was not a child, Wang Junyao smiled in his heart and did not debunk it.
"Let's go? I don't know where to go, how much does it cost to chat? Let's talk about it. Wang Junyao thought that this little girl who called herself a pineapple was also interesting, and it didn't hurt to talk about it. What's more, he's waiting for the soul here, and he really doesn't plan to go anywhere.
After entering Yecheng, he searched a lot in the search of thousands of machines. First, he placed an order for a queuing soul puppet in the Hanhai Mall of Qiankun Communication, and he could queue up on the reincarnation road instead of him by entering key information, which was very convenient. After comparing the information, the Qiankun Communication Company directly sent the queuing soul puppet to the reincarnation road just now.
The original price of this item was 1 million yuan, and it cost 500,000 yuan after a 50% discount. At that time, Xi Yunyi didn't say anything about it at all, probably thinking that he was already shy.
Recalling the details on Zhong Yan's soul-holding costume, and comparing it with the information on the search of thousands of machines, Wang Junyao judged that Zhong Yan's cultivation was probably in the middle of the Qi Cultivation Realm. When he arrived in the underworld, he had no background and would definitely not be able to deal with Zhong Yan's difficulties, so he then placed an order to hire a bodyguard from the Yuanying Realm in Qiankun Communication.
As the saying goes, Hades is easy to see, but imps are difficult. If it weren't for his strength and authority, he could only hire a master of the Yuanying Realm, Wang Junyao would have to hire a higher-ranking boss to directly scare Zhong Yan.
At this time, it was here that the person who waited for Qiankun to communicate came to pick him up. At the same time, he also had to go to Qiankun to inquire about the methods of the underworld to influence the yang world. The parents' affairs can't be delayed. An hour has passed in the underworld, and a month has passed in the yang world.
"A thousand heaven and earth coins start, and there is no cap." Pineapple replied, then blinked mysteriously and said, "If you don't know where to go, why don't I take you around?" I don't know how many souls linger in those places, lamenting that it is better to be a ghost than to be a human. ”
Pineapple said, and licked her lips with an evocative look on her face.
"But let's talk about it first, keep the cost of your reincarnation, and don't be blinded by desire. When you have had enough of enjoying Yecheng, go to the queue for reincarnation with peace of mind. ”
Just as Pineapple was about to continue her ideological work, seven or eight souls surrounded the two souls with ill intentions.
"You're Wang Junyao, right? Come with us, someone wants to see you. One of the red-haired spirits came up and spoke viciously in his ear. He pretended to be affectionate and put his hand on Wang Junyao's shoulder, but in fact, he strangled his neck secretly.
"What if I don't?" Wang Junyao glanced at the red-haired uninvited guest, ready to push him away.
"In this situation, do you think you have any other choice? Obediently follow us, and suffer less sin. Hongmao took out a knife and put it on Wang Junyao's waist.
This kind of knife is made of dark iron, and it can cause damage to the soul body. If the soul body is damaged, the soul substance will leak out, and if it is not dealt with in time, the final outcome will be ashes.
On the search of thousands of machines, Wang Junyao saw that there was a soul that described his relationship with the underworld in this way. Everything here is real, and the soul is illusory to the dimension of the yang world, but it is real to the underworld. The soul body is also a kind of being similar to the physical body, and its senses are more acute than the physical body. Crying, laughing, cold, hot, hurting, hurting, sick...... Will also die.
At that time, Wang Junyao was skeptical, but when the dagger made of Stygian Iron was pressed against his waist, the sharp sting came to him, and he really believed it. In his heart, fear and fear were also permeated, but he forcibly suppressed them.
"Wolves, you're breaking the rules. My guest, you just grab it? When the little girl Pineapple saw those spirits, she naturally recognized their identities and was very angry.
"You're the pineapple boy nicknamed Wild Dog, this time it's the one named above. If you know each other, get out of the way, or you will have good fruit to eat. The red hair spat out a mouthful of phlegm and said impatiently.
"Let him go!! He was my guest. "Seeing that I am about to make a small profit, I am one step closer to the exercises I want to buy. At this time, the pineapple is like a wolf cub protecting food, baring its teeth and refusing to give up.
"Look for death! Shame on the face. As soon as the red hair made his eyes color, a burly soul walked up and kicked it.
Where is the opponent of the short pineapple, he was directly kicked on the ground and rolled for more than ten meters. The surrounding souls only took two more glances when they found something strange, as long as they didn't violate the laws of Yecheng, no matter how they fought, there was no soul to care about.
"Little than a cub, if you don't listen to what you say, you have to find your own hardships." Redfur looked at the embarrassed pineapple and sneered. "If it weren't for your brother's face, I would have arrested you and sent you to that place."
"I said, he's my guest, you can't take him with you." Pineapple stood up and wiped the soul substance from the corner of her mouth with her hand. Clenched his fists and refused to give up.
"It's a wild dog, and it doesn't know how to lift. You two, teach her a lesson and let her know what the Wolf Gang is. Let's go. The red hair commanded, and then pulled Wang Junyao to leave.
"Zhong Yan instructed you to come, right? I advise you to get out now, or it won't be so easy to end up waiting a minute. Wang Junyao looked at what happened to the pineapple, and his tone was cold.
This little girl is a little stubborn.
"Huh? What did you say? The red hair suddenly became angry, "Are you stupid?" Who's in the hands now? ”
He smiled, and the dark iron knife in his hand involuntarily passed half a point towards Wang Junyao's waist.
The sharp iron pierced into the soul's body, and the heart-rending pain permeated the whole body. At this time, Wang Junyao was furious. With his right hand, he grabbed the wrist of the red hair, twisted it, and pulled away from his waist.
Iron Mountain!!
The red hair reacted, and the dark iron knife in his hand was about to stab in, but he found that his hand seemed to be clamped by an iron hoop, and he couldn't move forward. Then, he felt a huge force hit his chest, and he flew out like a broken sack.
"Now, it's too late to leave! You've me off. ”
