The steps look rough, there are many cracks, and in the cracks, there are some withered yellow weeds.

It looks like the stairs are normal, as if they have fallen into disrepair.

However, if you look closely, you will see that something is wrong with the dead grass.

The dead grass was about to die, but there were small blue flowers blooming on the top.

On each petal, there are light white lines, and if you distinguish them carefully, you can faintly see that these lines look like a human face.

Ji Yansheng's face was solemn, and he said to me: "This seems to be a dead man's umbrella. ”

I nodded and said, "Looks like it." ”

Jin Shengshui leaned over and asked, "What is the Dead Man's Umbrella?" ”

I looked at Jin Shengshui in wonder: "It's you who walks in the underworld, dealing with the underworld all day long, you don't know what the dead umbrella is?" ”

Jin Shengshui said: "Ahem, don't mention it. I'm just a toolman. ”

"It's like people build rockets, I screw them. You ask me how rockets get to space, can I know? ”

"I don't even know if it's natural gas or anthracite."

I said to Jin Shengshui: "The dead man's umbrella is usually found in evil places. ”

"For example, if a soul is imprisoned in a certain place, it cannot be reincarnated, nor can it be scattered, but it can only suffer a lot and cannot be liberated."

"If they are in captivity, you can see the sky. Then during the day, they will have a hard time. ”

"And from above their souls will come a plant."

"The plant looked like a small grass, just a withered yellow, with blue flowers blooming on the top, and a distorted human face faintly in the flowers."

"Because this little grass can provide a little palm-sized shade to the soul, so that the soul has a chance to breathe."

"Therefore, this grass is also called the Dead Man's Umbrella."

Jin Shengshui sighed and said, "So, there are souls imprisoned here?" ”

I looked at the grass on the steps, took a deep breath and said, "A soul can only give birth to a dead umbrella. ”

"Judging by the number of dead umbrellas here. This place...... I don't know how many souls have been imprisoned. ”

As we spoke, a cold wind blew, and we all shivered.

Ji Yansheng said: "Two, let's not think about it too much, if we come, we will be safe." ”

"My ancestor must have chosen this place for his reasons."

"Back then, he buried himself here to suppress demons."

"It's normal for this place to have dead umbrellas."

Jin Shengshui and I hummed: "I hope this trip goes well." ”

But I actually know in my heart that this trip will not be too smooth.

We walked up the stairs until we reached the halfway point of the mountain, and a torii gate appeared.

This archway is made of stones, and the pen walks the dragon and snake on it, and writes "Qianlong Mountain" three big characters.

I just glanced at these three words, and suddenly I felt like a thousand pounds of boulders pressing on my body, and I couldn't breathe.

I took a deep breath and barely straightened up.

And Jin Shengshui next to him plopped and collapsed directly to the ground.

And Ji Yansheng, he was extremely calm, knelt down gracefully, and said loudly: "Ancestor, don't Xiao descendant Ji Yansheng, come to worship Ancestor." ”

Before the words fell, I felt the pressure on my body suddenly lighten.

I had tried to fight with the pressure, but now the pressure was gone, and I jumped upward, staggered two steps forward, and almost fell.

Ji Yansheng turned around, smiled at me, and said, "We can go in." ”

I said, "What's the stress?" ”

Ji Yansheng said: "These three words were mentioned by my ancestor, and the purpose is to suppress demons and evils. ”

"If there are no evil things in the body and the heart is clear, you will not feel coercion."

"And I knelt down just now, deep down in my heart, silently helped the two of you to please, Ancestor sensed it."

He looked at me, then at Jin Shengshui, and said, "You two, you can't have evil things on you, right?" ”

Jin Shengshui got up slowly.

He unbuttoned and pointed to the dagger on his chest: "What do you say? ”

Ji Yansheng looked at me again, and I said lightly: "I have the seed of the Dryad on my body. ”

Ji Yansheng made an expression of sudden realization.

I frowned and said to Ji Yansheng, "I still think something is wrong. ”

"Your ancestor has been dead for many years. Why did you kneel here, say two words in your heart, and he let us in? ”

"He's still alive?"

"Even if you're alive, you can't have mind reading, right?"

Ji Yansheng said: "This ...... I don't know, that's what my dad told me back then. ”

"Over the years, I've actually had some guesses."

"I think that although the Ancestor is dead, his soul has shrouded the entire Qianlong Mountain."

"The consciousness of this soul has dissipated, and there is no way to think like us, only some instincts remain."

"For example...... Identify good luck and evil, identify bloodline, and so on. ”

"It is precisely because his soul has spread out that he ...... Maybe you can read my heart. After all, I'm going to die to his descendants. ”

I nodded.

Ji Yansheng's words can only be used as a reference.

Whether it's true or not, it's really hard to say.

Although he is a member of the Ji family, for Qianlong Mountain, it is also the first time he has come, and he is basically in a state of not knowing three questions.

I sighed and said, "Let's go inside." Complete the quest and come out early. ”

Ji Yansheng snorted, and then instructed us: "After this archway, you have really entered Qianlong Mountain." You two, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will come out alive. ”

Jin Shengshui sighed and said, "After we go in, what are the procedures?" ”

Ji Yansheng said: "I got the ancestor to worship at the tomb. ”

Jin Shengshui said: "I have to kill someone." ”

The two of them looked at me, "What about you?" ”

I said, "I have to find an ancient tomb that was once stolen by a man from Kong Jiuquan. ”

Jin Shengshui suddenly said, "You say, will we go to the same place?" ”

"Maybe the ancestor of the Ji family is still alive, and the underworld wants me to kill him, and then return half of the Yin and Yang Realm."

"And what Kong Jiuquan stole is also the tomb of the ancestor of the Ji family."

Ji Yansheng said to Jin Shengshui: "If my ancestor is really alive, I can't let you kill him. ”

Jin Shengshui said: "Who wants to kill him." ”

"Your ancestor is the best alive, help me pull out the knife and accept me as a junior brother. In the future, I followed him and worked against the underworld. ”

Ji Yansheng smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." It's all easy to say. ”

Afterwards, the three of us walked through the torii in turn.

As soon as I passed the archway, I felt that the yin and yang between heaven and earth had changed.

Yang energy is declining dramatically, and yin energy is rising rapidly.

Although it was daytime, it was gloomy, as if it were dusk.

Here, something doesn't look like the human world anymore.
