Chapter 36: Encounter with the Snake King
I've seen a lot of bags of ghosts in that thief's territory before, and I might be able to "borrow" one. Thinking that I rushed over without stopping, but strangely enough, the camp was empty. Judging by the traces of the campfire, these people were definitely here not long ago! But why are they able to predict the whereabouts and circumstances of the visitors in advance every time? I didn't feel anything wrong on the way here, and I deliberately hid my breath
Just as I was crouching on the ground, puzzled, there was a chill behind me. I jerked my head back, but there was nothing. After staring at it for a while, it was still calm in front of me, it should be that I was hallucinating, I continued to bury my head in thinking about the whereabouts of this gang of robbers, but before I could think about it, there were a few strange noises behind me, and this time I didn't scare my heart out when I turned around. As soon as I turned my head, a huge python was staring at me with a fierce look, and I screamed and stepped back, and as I retreated, I had already taken out the magic sword in my hand
But when I looked at it again, the python didn't seem to have the intention of attacking me. I instantly thought of the Tsing Yi sister who had transformed from a human into a snake, but how could I meet her here? Still in a puzzled tone, I asked:
"Sister Orochi... Is that you?"
The result replied to my very magnetic voice:
"What are you talking about? It's me..."
As he spoke, he slowly turned into a human form, and I saw the person clearly. It turned out to be one of the members I resurrected in the Sacred Temple a few days ago, the Serpent Monarch Parable. I took a long breath and asked:
"Lord Jigane! It's you, what are you doing here?"
When the snake lord heard my words, he frowned and said:
"Let's not be an adult, if you want to talk about it, you are actually the one who saved a life. You can just call me by my name."
It doesn't seem polite to call this a metaphor, so I still said:
"That snake monarch senior, what are you doing here?"
The snake king waved his hand, and the extinguished bonfire on the side instantly rekindled, and he pulled another bench and sat down and said:
"I'm going to go to the underworld, I have some things to deal with yet"
As soon as I heard that this snake monarch was also going to the underworld, I immediately became energetic, after all, this time there was a lot of danger in going to the underworld, if there was a snake monarch to go together, the difficulty would definitely be reduced a lot. I sat across from the snake king and said:
"That's great, I'm also planning to go to the underworld, Brother Yu, or... Let's do it together..."
Snake Jun nodded happily and said:
"Okay, but now there's a problem. It seems that the underworld deliberately hides the aura of Sansheng Road, otherwise I would never have felt it."
I can't feel it, can I still rely on my feelings in this three-life road? I asked suspiciously, and the Snake King said:
"My senses are much stronger than yours, whether a person is a human or a demon or a demon, I can see at a glance, in the same way, the aura emitted by the Sansheng Road is so special, as long as I am in the world, I only need to smell it to know where to go"
Then this is very difficult, so how to find the three-life road now? The snake king didn't care and said:
"Don't be discouraged, we just need to catch the ghost dealers here and build a Kong Ming lantern, that's the way to find the underworld. Because what he is looking for is not the path of three lives, but the reincarnation river."
The so-called reincarnation river is a river located in the deepest part of the underworld, which is a river for all those who are allowed to be reincarnated. Only the king of Hades and Meng Po have the right to come here in person, even if it is black and white, they can only look at the door. Legend has it that if you close your eyes and jump into the river, everything will start all over again, and no one knows why, no one knows what the river starts or ends in. And the ghost Kong Ming Lantern was supposed to help the ghost fly directly into the river, but that was too cheap, those who burned and looted, and could be reincarnated after a lifetime of bad deeds. So the underworld was born, and they checked all the Kong Ming lanterns that flew away one by one, and the good people were allowed to go, and the wicked people were seized
So the only way to do this is to find a ghost to show us the way, but these ghost dealers seem to be able to predict the future, and they will hide as soon as we come, how did they do it? The snake king just lightly pointed to the two stones behind me and said:
"Among them was a powerful spirit tamer who had tamed a small camouflaged spirit beast five hundred miles around him to give him a message. For example, the two stones behind you are two disguised spirit beasts, and as soon as we leave, these two little guys will go back and inform their masters to come back."
I looked back at the two rocks behind me, and I couldn't see any clue at all. I picked up one of the rocks in disbelief, and held it in my hand like a normal stone, until he suddenly jumped out of my hand with six feet outstretched, and I stared at the two stones in shock and ran away in front of me, but even that couldn't help us find the ghost dealers. The snake king smiled evil again and said:
"Hmph, even if they are hiding in a bonfire and still want to escape my senses, finding them is something I can smell and see"
