Chapter 503: Gengwu City
"Actually, to be precise, this is no longer an underworld, it should be called the underworld. The moment he just stepped on land, Zheng He spoke.
Han Xiao's eyes suddenly became dull, and he said in a trance: "What are you talking about, you mean that we are already in the ruined underworld now?"
"Yes, you can't feel the power of heaven and earth around you, we've already arrived. Zheng He said.
Han Xiao immediately began to feel the power of the heaven and earth around him, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to find that the heaven and earth here were actually filled with a strong Xuanyin power. Han Xiao didn't even notice this in advance before, before that, Han Xiao was most concerned about the speed of time, but he didn't expect to be here unconsciously.
"A battle of gods and demons that year also involved many strong people in the underworld, and there were two of the strongest of them, one was the original lord of the underworld, the Prison Emperor God, and the other was the later lord of the underworld, the Wheel King. Both of them are absolutely powerful True God Realm powerhouses, but that battle was really too fierce to be controlled at all, and gradually the underworld has begun to be destroyed, and the result is what it is now. Zheng He said as he walked forward.
Behind them, the huge treasure ship actually slowly came to the shore with their advance, Han Xiao is no wonder now, after the treasure ship leaves the sea, there is still water under the bottom of the ship, and then this huge treasure ship continues to "sail" on land in this weird state, but Zheng He does not allow the water to stay on the treasure ship anymore, except for those bronze refining corpses that have fallen silent again.
"The current underworld is no longer the underworld of the past, although the power of Xuanyin here is still strong, but after all, the underworld is no longer a complete existence, so other forces have begun to infiltrate here, although it is very subtle, but it has a huge impact on the underworld. The six realms of reincarnation are gone, there is no longer any possibility of reincarnation in the human world, and the real ghosts in the underworld will no longer produce spiritual intelligence, and the real ghosts have become outright monsters, and another race of non-humans and non-ghosts has appeared, they are the underworld. Zheng He said.
"Reincarnation?" Listening to Zheng He's words, Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that there was really a reincarnation in the past, that is, before the war between gods and demons broke out?"
"Yes, but it's not exactly what people think. The so-called reincarnation is nothing more than the soul entering the underworld, and then re-entering the yang world through the six reincarnations, but the memories and special talents of the previous life and even the physique will no longer be retained. ”
"What's the difference between that and death, what kind of reincarnation is this? Han Xiao scoffed and said disdainfully.
Zheng He smiled faintly and said: "Yes, the so-called reincarnation is just such a reincarnation, and the so-called reincarnation with the memories of previous lives that circulates in the world is just a story told by some storytellers." But after the six realms of reincarnation are completely shattered, even such reincarnations will never appear again. ”
"What is the end result?" Han Xiao asked.
"As a result, there is such an existence as the underworld, and after the death of the living beings, there will still be souls, and the souls will naturally come to the underworld, but because there are no six reincarnations, some of them have become lonely souls and wild ghosts here, but there are also many special existences that will have special bodies, and then form the underworld. Therefore, now this place can no longer be called the underworld, but the underworld, where there are a large number of underworld monks and true ghosts, and the battle here is still fierce. Zheng He said.
Han Xiao immediately looked around, Han Xiao didn't expect that there might be a big war here. Although before entering the ruined underworld, which is what Zheng He called the underworld, Han Xiao had already thought that there might be danger here, but after seeing the environment here, Han Xiao couldn't imagine that there would be any battles breaking out here. Whether it was the underworld or the real ghost, Han Xiao never saw a shadow.
When he first went to sea, Han Xiao really liked to listen to Zheng He's stories, but after experiencing two magical experiences that can be called "time jumps", Han Xiao is now maintaining absolute sobriety all the time. Finding the so-called true ghosts and the underworld was not Han Xiao's concern, he only wanted to know what Zheng He wanted to do here.
"Captain, where is our destination?Why don't we go to business now?" Han Xiao asked tentatively, and after trying to capture that special map in the sea of knowledge, Han Xiao said: "I can probably already judge the situation here, this should belong to Yueya Ridge, and we are now in ruins...... The southeast direction of the underworld. ”
"Southeast, ......" Zheng He muttered to himself, since he went to the sea and now Zheng He really kept his promise, and did not do anything about the map, he chose to take Han Xiao with him, that is, he decided that he would believe the path pointed out by Han Xiao, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
"We're going north. Zheng He suddenly said arrogantly, pointing his finger firmly in one direction.
Han Xiao coughed lightly and said, "Captain, that's the West ......."
Zheng He blinked, moved the direction of his finger quietly, and said in a lower voice: "North." ”
Han Xiao was completely speechless, he was also full of doubts about this matter, and he only found out that Zheng He was a road blind until now......
"Captain, the map I have is incomplete, although there is a road to the north, but it seems to be very difficult to follow, I can't see what lies ahead, and I can only see farther away when I have gone some distance. If we're going north, it can be hard. Han Xiao said very pertinently.
"It's okay, I just want to know what our time is now?" Han Xiao said very honestly, "Is it possible for me to die of old age while walking?"
Zheng He was also amused by Han Xiao's words, and looking at Han Xiao's cautious look, Zheng He said, "Don't worry, everything will be normal since you went ashore." In this way, if there is any change in time in the future, I will tell you first. ”
"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome as the captain, just let Dagui tell me directly. ”
"Da Gui can't do it, he can't feel the change of time, and if he tells you, it's that you won't know anything. Zheng He said, and then said no more and walked forward with Han Xiao and them.
Now that he has been guaranteed, Han Xiao will not be afraid, but now he is still full of apprehensive thoughts about this trip to the underworld. It's not just a matter of worrying about time, there are too many unknowns waiting for him, and Han Xiao doesn't know what will happen after that. Especially if he has to send a letter again, if nothing else, Han Xiao even suspects that he will keep his promise to send back another reply, anyway, this matter is a very dangerous and difficult thing after all, not to mention that Zheng He's thoughts need to be considered now.
Anyway, I'm working under someone else's hands now!
The path Zheng He chose was unremarkable, and Han Xiao probably told Zheng He about what he could find out from the map now, and if he wanted to get out of Yueya Ridge, he had to pass through at least three fortresses. There are thousands of miles between each fortress, this is not a joke, but it is really so, when Han Xiao made it clear that the news revealed on the map was like this, he even thought that his divine consciousness was deranged.
The underworld is very big, so big that it is difficult for people to accept it for a while, and Han Xiao is the same. However, Zheng He's route also has his reasons, according to Zheng He, the situation in the underworld is not necessarily much safer than outside, and even there are more unstable factors here. When I was outside, the most I encountered was a void fragment, and the kind of strong blow that the sea god attacked the Han family was a minority after all, and it was still caused by the presence of strong people.
But in the underworld, the Heavenly Punishment Blade is often possible, and even Zheng He said frankly that if he really encounters the Heavenly Punishment Blade, he will not be spared. The power of heaven and earth is always above all the strong. It may seem that many people are used to watching some super strong people move mountains and reclaim the sea, or even shatter the void, but the horror of heaven and earth lies in the fact that you can move mountains and reclaim the sea, or even shatter the void. Thousands of years later, tens of millions of years later, heaven and earth are still there, but those strong people who shine for a while will eventually disappear. What about the god king, and what about the true god, not all of them have dissipated with the wind.
Traveling along the route between the fortresses, there is basically no chance of the appearance of the Heavenly Punishment Blade, and Han Xiao is of course happy to have such a choice. The trance and emptiness in the underworld have greatly exceeded Han Xiao's expectations, the long journey coupled with the empty environment, after a long time, Han Xiao even wanted to take the initiative to go out to find a few enemies to fight, such days were too helpless for him.
Fortunately, after a long march, they finally came to the first fortress, Gengwu City. After arriving at Gengwu City, Han Xiao learned why this place was called a fortress instead of a city. Even Han Xiao, who had seen the magical city of the imperial capital of the Huating Empire, couldn't help but look at this "city" with admiration after learning about the situation in Gengwu City.
It's not so much a city, it's a kingdom, and it's not a small kingdom yet. Judging from the situation here, the size of Gengwu City is almost thirty percent of the size of Tianning Kingdom, that is to say, the territory in this city has reached thirty percent of Tianning Kingdom, and it is difficult to imagine how many residents there are here. Of course, all the inhabitants of Gengwu City were Hades monks.
The underworld is actually not a very accurate name, but because of the same characteristics, it is collectively called the underworld. In fact, the underworld includes the human race, the demon race, and even the demon race, I heard that even the dragon race exists, just because they all formed this unified race in the underworld, and finally called the underworld.
Gengwu City is actually a closed kingdom that can already be self-sufficient, Han Xiao didn't feel too much about it before, and it wasn't until he entered Gengwu City that he finally understood the importance of the existence of the fortress. When walking outside, Han Xiao really felt the restlessness of the Xuanyin power between heaven and earth, such a Xuanyin power was almost impossible to absorb, but Han Xiao didn't ask anything about this question before, in his opinion, maybe this was a normal situation.
But after entering Gengwu City, he knew that this was not the case, although the power of Xuanyin in Gengwu City was not as strong as outside the city, but it was very soft, and it felt similar to the feeling of spiritual power fluctuations in the human world, in such an environment, it was definitely a great help to those underworld monks who cultivated the power of Xuanyin, in comparison, the environment outside the city can really be described as harsh. Although there are no natural disasters, and although there are no strong enemies, they can't cultivate, and they can't absorb the power of heaven and earth to replenish it, which is basically equivalent to cutting off their way of life.
After all, not all underworld cultivators can be like Han Xiao and Zheng He, no matter what the power of heaven and earth is, they will not have much influence on themselves. However, Han Xiao and the others were like a group of ascetics, and they did not make any stops after entering Gengwu City, and everything was as if they were outside the city, moving forward neither fast nor slow. Although Gengwu City has a city character, after all, the territory is vast, and it is not actually a row of buildings in the city, even if it is Han Xiao and they have a super big ship, there is nothing wrong with walking in the city, and what is even more amazing is that the underworld monks in Gengwu City are not too surprised by this, but they will take a few more glances when they see the treasure ship, but that's all.
"What is a real ghost like?" Walking in Gengwu City, Han Xiao held the back of his head with both hands and asked in a leisurely manner.
It seemed empty around him now, but it didn't take long for Dagui's voice to sound: "True ghosts are actually not much different from the underworld, they both look pale and have withered faces, but real ghosts are monsters without intelligence, and they only know how to kill." ”
Han Xiao nodded, in addition to looking terrifying, like a powerful ghost, these underworld monks in front of him actually didn't have too much of an abnormality, except for a yin qi and a dead face, these underworld monks were human beings.
The team was still marching, and there was no scene of the underworld monks stopping them, and Han Xiao and they didn't deliberately provoke anyone. Suddenly, on the vast street that can almost be called a plain, a group of underworld monks rushed out from a corner not far away, and behind them there was another group of underworld monks chasing after them.
"The Underworld monks are also infighting?" said Han Xiao, still holding the back of his head.
Dagui quickly replied, "There is nothing surprising that when sane races get together, there will inevitably be fights. ”
"That's right. Han Xiao nodded in agreement, and subconsciously glanced at those underworld monks in a bored manner, but his eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person instantly froze in place.
