Where do people go when they die?

Does the Netherworld really exist?

If you do evil in life, will you be judged after you die?

Is there karma and rebirth in the world?

In that mythical underworld, is there really a ghost emperor of the five directions, ten halls of Yama, and eighteen layers of hell?

Throughout the ages, doubts about life and death have haunted the hearts of countless people, moving from thought to thought, inspiring endless anecdotes and legends.

The cultivators who pursue immortality have gone forward from generation to generation, tirelessly exploring the mysteries of life and death.

In the long and colorful history of cultivation, there are many sages and sages who have broken through the heavens and finally ascended to the immortal realm and enjoyed the bliss of eternal life.

However, the secret of life can still be solved, but the way of death can be explored by no one after all.

There are thousands of ways to kill people in heaven and earth, ghosts and corpses are not uncommon, but it is impossible to bring the dead back to life, but it is absolutely impossible, the so-called six reincarnations, since ancient times, it has been like a mirror and a mirage, shattering the hearts of hundreds of millions of living beings.

Although the deceased cannot be traced, the soul of the deceased is passed down from old age to legend.

The land of Kyushu, centered on Zhongzhou, is arranged in the order of southeast and northwest rotation (i.e., clockwise), and is Xuanzhou, Mingzhou, Yunzhou, Youzhou, Leizhou, Luna, Cangzhou, and Lanzhou.

The states are bordered by two, and Xuanzhou and Lanzhou are connected to each other.

In the north of Leizhou, the south of the Luna Prefecture, and the west of Zhongzhou, thousands of peaks are towering, ten thousand hills rise together, the forest sea is vast, lush and green, known as one hundred thousand mountains.

There are three giant snow-capped mountains in the extreme west of the 100,000 Great Mountain, named Nu Mountain, Sorrow Mountain, and Fear Mountain, and the three mountains turn snow and pour out three big rivers, which are Nu River, Sigh River, and Bitter Rain River.

The three rivers flow westward, through thousands of miles of fog, and finally converge into a mysterious and boundless river, known as the "Netherworld River", that is, the River Styx.

One of the famous ten strange places in Kyushu, the "West Sea Underworld", is located at the end of the River Styx - the West Sea.

It is rumored that the River Styx is the boundary river between the world and the netherworld, and the ghost mother of the River Styx is in charge of the decree of ten thousand ghosts, and non-undead ghosts cannot cross the river.

Cangzhou is adjacent to the Moon God Prefecture in the west and Zhongzhou in the south, even the ordinary people of the Mortal Sect have heard a lot about the Styx River where thousands of ghosts fight and the Underworld of the West Sea, where the souls return.

Mu Haotian's ancestral skills have a lot to do with ghost tricks, and he has also learned a little, and Tashan and Haiyun are both successful cultivators, not to mention, they only know a lot more secrets than him.

At this moment, when they saw the Styx Boundary Monument, the hearts of the three of them coincided, and the first thought that came to mind was:

"It's impossible! The River Styx is tens of thousands of miles away, how could such a good person break in?"

Kyushu is vast and boundless, only Cangzhou is a state, the vertical and horizontal is far more than 10,000 miles, not to mention wading in the water and taking a boat, that is, to make the Taoist monks fly, it is not an overnight thing to want to cross the state, not to mention Cangzhou, but also to climb over the reckless and mysterious 100,000 mountains, to be able to reach the Styx.

But the scene in front of them was by no means like an illusion, and the three of them looked at each other in shock, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

The boundary monument was bloody, fierce and terrifying, Haiyun stood on the bulwark, got closer, and there was a faint feeling of chest tightness and air blockage, and at the moment his right foot was lightly clicked, and he jumped back into the boat.

The sailboat was still moving forward, and the more they crossed the boundary river monument, the more they went in, the thicker the fog on the river became, and after a while, they were only a few steps apart, but they were already confused with each other.

"The angry mountain is angry, and the sword breaks the river."

Suddenly heard the sound of a spell, but Jing Ling was extremely frightened, and she didn't need to think about anything else that she was afraid of in her life, and directly recited the mantra in a trembling voice, and the "Tears of the Mother of the Dead" was activated, and the whole person was hidden in the fog.

After she became invisible, she suddenly noticed that there was an extra person beside her, and shouted:

"Mommy!"

He sat down backwards and almost fell somersault.

After looking closely, I recognized that this person was Senior Sister Yan'er, who had disappeared earlier, and was smiling and jumping in front of her, but she couldn't hear any sound.

Jing Ling shouted: "Senior sister! ”

I tried to get closer to the swifts, but they were blocked by an invisible but qualitative barrier, so I had to stand still.

It turns out that when the "Tears of the Mother" ability is turned on at the same time, they can see each other, but they can't communicate with each other and can't touch each other.

Mu Haotian saw that the swift and Jing Ling were safe, and was about to urge the snow warbler to activate the "Tears of the Mother of the Dead" as soon as possible, Fang Fu turned around, and suddenly his mind flashed:

"That's not right! Tears of the Mother of Death...... Tears of the Mother of Death...... Isn't the Ghost Mother of Styx the master of Styx? Why did you just get the tears of the ghost mother of the Styx, and it happened that you came to this Styx?"

Quietly turning his head, he glanced at Tashan, only to see that his eyes were closed, and the beads under his eyelids were rolling rapidly, obviously also thinking about it.

When it was, a sharp sound was suddenly heard, and Haiyun's wrist flipped violently, slashing out a golden knife in front of the right.

The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and it slashed horizontally through the necks of the three boatmen on the right like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, three pale heads fell on the deck, and the bones rolled, but not a drop of blood flowed out of the broken neck the size of a sea bowl.

Sure enough, it was the upper body of the water ghost, and it seemed to have been dead for a long time.

Mu Haotian couldn't bear it in his heart, and reason told him that these people were already irretrievable, but he still had hope in case, seeing that Haiyun raised his knife and was about to slash at the three woodcutters on the left, he hurriedly shouted:

"Brother Haiyun, let's stay! Let me see if I can save them. ”

The golden light sword qi, without delay, cut off three more heads in an instant.

Mu Haotian froze in mid-air with one hand, only to hear Haiyun say coldly:

"Boy! Remember! Kindness is the most ridiculous quality in the cultivation world. ”

Mu Haotian was shocked, and lowered his head silently, inexplicably remembering Han Wenjing's ruthless killing methods, and he was confused in the depths of his heart.

After a while, I suddenly felt that the delicate body of the snow warbler in my arms trembled, one hand covered the small mouth, and the other trembled and pointed forward.

He immediately looked up and looked forward, and saw that after the six boatmen had cut off their heads, the movements of their hands did not stop, and they were still rowing hard, and their headless bodies shook and trembled, which was very terrifying.

Seeing this, Mu Haotian also knew that he had to stop them as soon as possible! At the moment, let go of the snow warbler, the right cuff was aimed at a boatman, and the left hand pinched a ghost charm and put it in front of the sleeve, buckled the sleeve in the machine to expand, and the beads were repeated, and each dark bead was wrapped in a yellow talisman.

After the six sounds of "Papapa" were sounded, the severed heads of the six boatmen were all beaten into the ghost shaking charm.

Mu Haotian pinched the trick and shouted: "Go!" ”

Six clusters of flames ignited at the same time, and the six boatmen trembled in unison, and a wisp of green smoke escaped from the broken neck, and the six dead bodies immediately went limp.

The boat slowly glided forward for a while, and finally came to a standstill.

Haiyun withdrew the golden knife that was about to strike for the third time, and glanced at Mu Haotian without a trace, revealing a hint of surprise.

Everyone looked around, but they saw that it was dark, the mist was thick, there were only two vague lines left on the riverbank, and the boundary monuments behind them were no longer clearly visible, and there was almost no sound around them.

Mu Haotian leaned on the side of the boat and went to the river, but he felt a cold air approaching the door, and the water in the river was black, like ink that could not be dissolved, and there was no light or shadow on the surface of the water.

He stretched out his left hand and was about to fish for water to find out, but he heard Tashan shout urgently:

"Don't touch the waters of the River Styx! This water is formed by the condensation of the netherworld yin qi, and the living will die when they touch it! ”

The fear that could not be concealed in the voice, since the acquaintance, Mu Haotian had never seen Tashan so out of shape, and when he got to the scene, he hurriedly withdrew his hand and took two steps back.

After Tashan stopped him, he stared into the depths of darkness and muttered:

"Seeing it invisible, hearing it silently, it is called the underworld. The Netherworld, so the Tao is not the Tao. I see! I see! ”

Mu Haotian was surprised:

"Brother Tashan, what are you talking about?"

Tashan was unconscious, did not reply, and said to himself:

"The Seven Labels of the Cloud Pipe" has a saying: Taishang Xuanyi, nine stars vomit sperm; Three-five-seven changes, looking at the underworld. The so-called changes are inseparable from their origins, but only to wait and see their changes. ”

Mu Haotian didn't understand the explanations of the Netherworld in these Dao Sects at all, and he was confused when he heard it.

Haiyun didn't have the heart to think about it, and snorted secretly:

"Right now, this situation is strange and inexplicable, but you are in the mood to enlighten and recite the scriptures."

Although he thought highly of himself, he didn't want to waste time in this unknown situation, so he immediately grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands, and the golden sword qi locked on the ship boss who was standing in his hands, and slashed over!

The wind was sharp, the knife was torn into the air, the boat boss raised his hand to block, and there was a "click"! The ship's arms snapped at elbows, and the remnants slashed at his chest, making a sound of gold and iron shocking.

The two arms fell to the deck with a thud, and blood flowed from the severed arms.

A successful blow, Haiyun was taken aback, Guy Yin's knife has really worked out fifty percent of his strength, in his estimation, if the other party dares to take it hard, it should be cut into two together.

His arms were broken and bleeding, but the captain of the ship had no pain on his face, and he kept shaking his head at them.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and struck his forehead hard, and his head and face were covered with blood, which was very terrifying.

Tashan suddenly thought of something, and said:

"Brother Haiyun, slow down."

persuaded Haiyun to stop the second sword, and asked the boss of the boat:

"You are the river god of the Lion River?"

The captain of the ship was so excited when he heard this, he knelt down on his knees, propped himself up on the deck with his broken hands, and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Tashan nodded at him, moved his lips, whispered a mantra, stretched out his right hand, raised it above his head, and shook it vigorously with his open hand.

The mace that floated at the side of the boat boss suddenly flicked several feet high, and the red light flickered and fell down heavily, smashing straight into his forehead.

The boss of the boat did not dodge or dodge, and his back was smashed squarely.

Mu Haotian exclaimed: "Oops! ”

But he heard a crisp sound of "click", and there was no brain-sputtering scene as he imagined. The mace seemed to have smashed open an egg, and the captain of the boat had a long slit in his forehead, and the blood threaded through his nose and lips and into his jaw.

Mu Haotian's eyes didn't blink, staring at the blood line, fluttering and his heart beating fast.

I saw that the muscles on the captain's face twitched, and his pale neck became green and swollen, swelling like a wave, as if some terrifying monster was about to break out.
