Chapter 167: Xiangxi Prefecture Corpse Valley (15)
"Chu Yulou woke me up with a loud shout."
"When I opened my eyes, I saw the scholar staring at me."
"Don't talk, don't ask questions, we have limited time, and what I can tell you is that we are each in our own samsara, but because of certain loopholes, our consciousness can briefly converge here."
"The interval of the convergence, I have calculated, is about once every ten years, and the time of the convergence depends on the five of us, the shortest one who enters the fifth gate, so now you need to learn to enter the fifth gate freely as quickly as possible, and stay for a long time."
"Remember!"
"I woke up suddenly, and left there again, not a dream, this time I can clearly remember what the scholar said, they are indeed alive!"
"I began to think about the words of the scholar, the meeting once in ten years, and the free entry into the fifth gate."
"In the following time, I began to learn how to enter the fifth gate again, and in the fifth gate, I encountered a 'other and me' that was transformed from the desires in my heart, and since this is the case, it is to magnify the desires in my heart infinitely."
"It's not hard for me, I consider myself a person with a lot of desires, and after so many years of learning to meditate, after a month of practice, I started to try to step into the fifth gate for the first time."
"Hum!"
"There was a roar in my head, and I came to a new space, the scholar, Chu Yulou, the chief dartman, and the swordsman, each sitting in the distance, with their backs to me."
"It's ......"
"I didn't rush to call out to them, because this is a familiar scene, and this is the scene in the Fifth Gate, when we are each pregnant with ghosts."
"I'm sure I've entered the fifth gate, and the people in front of me should be illusions of desire."
"But in the blink of an eye, the picture in front of me was torn, and the whole world seemed to be torn in half by a pair of big hands, and my brain was in severe pain, and a huge repulsive force expelled me out of that space."
"I began to understand the scholar's words, the first two times I met with them, but after a few breaths, I returned to reality, and the reason for this was that I couldn't enter the fifth gate for a long time."
"So, I began to use all my time to try to enter the fifth gate, and at first, I was driven out in the blink of an eye, but as I became more and more proficient in my control of my desires, I was able to stay in it for longer and longer."
"Two years later, I will be able to hold out for fifty breaths in the fifth gate."
"In five years, I can hold on to two hundred breaths."
"In the ninth year, I have been able to hold on to a stick of incense."
"In the tenth year, I entered that space again."
"Outlander!"
"Chu Yu will give me a bear hug when he comes upstairs, and when he looks like that, he can't wait to kiss me."
"How long?"
"The scholar came up and went straight to the point, and I patted my chest."
"A stick of incense."
"Okay, next, I will tell you what I think, but how to get out of the sixth gate needs everyone to figure out a way together."
"The Sixth Gate, which I call Hell, has tried all the means I can think of, and it seems that there is no solution at the moment."
"But at the end of the day, no matter how heavenly it is, in it, it's all about enchantment."
"After so many years, what I have been able to find, this loophole, can allow us to rest for a short time, and you should remember that we were pulled directly into the sixth gate without completely leaving the fifth gate."
"I don't think it's intentional on the part of the game-setters, and to design such a large and complex enchantment, even those who are famous in history may not be able to guarantee that there are no mistakes."
"So, I think the loophole is between the fifth and sixth gates, and the design of these two gates is not completely completed, so there is a certain degree of integration between the fifth gate and the sixth gate."
"Chu Yulou."
"The scholar motioned for Chu Yulou to take out the invitation, and at the same time, he also took out his own invitation, as I thought, neither of the two invitations was destroyed."
"Since both invitations are there, does that mean, from a rules point of view, we haven't made it through the fifth gate yet, and in that case, I think we can go back to the fifth gate again."
"And in fact, Chu Yulou, the chief dart head and the swordsman have indeed not broken through the fifth gate yet, so the space we are in now is actually a pseudo-space created by the desires of the three of them."
"This is also a coincidence, because of the existence of the loophole, the three people who are still in the fifth gate are in the pseudo-space fusion, and the three of them can meet again, and after I found this loophole, I also met them."
"So, Outlander, we've been waiting for you here."
"After listening to the scholar's explanation, I finally understood where this place was and why we were here."
"Okay, the matter has been explained clearly, and the next step is to find a way to leave the sixth gate together, I personally think that if you want to leave the sixth gate, you still have to start with the enchantment."
"I nodded silently in my heart, the scholar is right, the enchantment is the root of everything in the Valley of the Corpse."
"The time of a stick of incense passed in a flash, and I returned to the original space."
"Over the next ten years, I've been spending more and more time at the Fifth Gate, and I'm constantly looking for loopholes in this barrier."
"Ten years is not a long time for me, and this time, I have extended the residency of the fifth gate to an hour."
"After ten years, do you have any new ideas?"
"This time, we have saved the time for small talk, and the scholars are getting straight to the point."
"The four of us looked at each other a few times, and we were silent, and the scholar was not annoyed when he saw this."
"Then let me tell you, in the past ten years, I have recalled all the things we have encountered since we entered the Valley of the Corpse Driven countless times, and I have sorted out a general idea, and I probably know what exactly is here."
"What is it?"
"All four of us want to know what we're going through right now."
"Little reincarnation can also be called a small underworld."
"This is not the great reincarnation of the underworld that is really born and raised, but a small reincarnation that was formed by chance due to some special reasons and coincidences."
"The corpse chasing valley is extremely special, as the place where the corpses of the Xiangxi corpse chasing sect were stored, the corpses that have been piled up for many years have accumulated a large amount of dead gas, although we see that there are millions of corpses here, but in fact there should not be so many."
"Because of the advantage of the place where the corpses are stored, the Valley of the Corpses has the basic conditions for the innate gathering of evil, and once the death qi accumulates to a certain scale, it can be condensed from the death qi into a pseudo-enchantment-like existence."
"But this is not the most important reason, perhaps it is the relationship between the terrain, the ability to gather evil here, extremely prominent, the shade of the place, not exposed to the light all year round, makes the dead qi stronger and stronger, and even has the ability to attract the surrounding dead air."
"If at this time, there is a powerful person who fuels the flames and gathers the dead qi that has been born in the world for ten years here, or it may really be possible to create such a small underworld as it is now."
"When I first entered the underworld, it was a layer of white mist, and I made him the beginning of ignorance."
"At the beginning of the soul into reincarnation, it is to wash everything in the world, Buddhism says, dust to dust to earth, everything in the previous life to nothing, back to the origin, everything is the beginning of ignorance, I believe that everyone after entering the white fog over there, there is a short period of amnesia, and when you are confused, that is the beginning of ignorance."
"Wait!"
"I can understand everything the scholar says, but there is one thing I disagree with."
"What you said is indeed very similar to my experience in the White Mist Zone, but we are human beings, not souls, even if we strayed into the underworld, why would we experience the reincarnation of souls?"
"The scholar didn't speak, just looked at me calmly, I was dazed at first, but more and more I felt a little chilly, until after a dozen breaths, I was chilled all over my body!"
"Impossible!"
"I kept my eyes wide open, my cheeks sweating, I didn't want to believe it, but the scholar just asked two rhetorical questions, and my only remaining hope was completely shattered."
"Don't you realize that we don't get hungry, we don't thirst, we don't get tired?"
"How can this be the case if it were a living man?"
"Yes, if I were a living person, how could I not be hungry, thirsty, or tired, and I would have died a long time ago?"
"I still don't understand when we died."
"The chief dart head is also reluctant to believe the scholar's statement, and there has never been a part of our own death in the memory of the five of us."
"Needless to say, we have been calculated, and the man who created this little underworld wants to use us to test his results."
Chu Yulou's face turned pale, and he looked at the scholar again.
"Scholar, you go on."
"At the end of the White Mist Zone, we each saw a woman carrying a lantern, and the woman's appearance varies from person to person, but we were all led out of the White Mist Zone by this woman."
"That should be the legendary Yellow Springs leader, and in the Valley of the Corpses, the most special existence is the ancient tree we saw later."
"This ancient tree is different from everything in the sea of corpses, exuding an extremely pure vitality, as the saying goes, the ultimate death is life, and this is the extremely living thing born in the place of extreme death, the reincarnation tree."
"The purpose of its existence is to re-inject new vitality into the soul after experiencing the beginning of ignorance, so that it becomes a new soul and prepares for reincarnation."
"The next step is the Nai Ho Bridge, Meng Po Soup, that is, the bridge we saw, and those slime are probably the legendary Meng Po Soup that makes people forget the troubles of their previous lives."
"Finally, after forgetting the previous life, we are committed to the six realms of reincarnation, and the six gates we see are the six realms of reincarnation."
"The first gate, the Heavenly Dao, is in charge of the timing of the Heavenly Principles and the change of rules. The second gate, humanity, crosses the joys, sorrows, sorrows, loves, hatreds, and hatreds of the world, and there will be their own big dreams in the world. The third gate, the path of hungry ghosts, those who enter this hell are like starving ghosts, and there is no food in the world, and there is no liberation in eternity."
