Verse 409
At this moment, suddenly there was a circle of waves around the heavenly ruler, and suddenly I saw that in one of the waves, a sharp claw stretched out from it, probably without finding anything to grab the buckle, and then rowed into the waves.
This seemed to be a little omen, and then some shadows also popped out from the other waves, some were ghost claws, some were the sharp claws of demon beasts, and some even had no form and only sensed the murderous intent on them.
Everyone looked at each other, and their speculation just now was indeed reasonable.
On the other side of this suppressed place, there are still quite a few Nine Ghost Monsters who want to get out.
Zhao Ning signaled slightly, and the two sword cultivators, Li Jing and Xiang Hongxuan, were separated from the guards, and they had already made the sword and were ready to meet the enemy at any time.
The crowd didn't look at it, and waited with 120,000 points of vigilance.
As the Soul Guardian made the soul boat go deeper, it got closer and closer to the heaven and earth ruler, ten zhang ...... Wuzhang ...... Sanzhang ...... Until the position of one zhang, the soul boat suddenly touched some barrier, and for a moment it was frozen for a moment, and then it went as deep as if it were walking on the ground.
It's just that what goes deep is not the visible position of heaven and earth, but the ...... A dark place.
It's like a night that encompasses the whole world is slowly unveiled in front of you, and what you see at first is not light, but deeper darkness, and what you perceive is not the silence of the new world, but a ubiquitous killing force.
As soon as he reached into half of the boat, the first half of the Shen Wei, Xiang Hongxuan, and Li Jing had already entered it, and in an instant, the sword light appeared.
The brilliance penetrates the space through the extremely dark night, which is unusual, but at the same time, it is also extremely alarming.
Sure enough, as the entire soul boat entered the new world, in an instant, the soul boat shook to the extreme.
Around them, several behemoths were leaning over to peek at them.
At this moment, a deformed demon beast's big hand was already reaching out to them.
First, two rays of spiritual light pierced into it without hesitation, and then everyone else on the boat played spells, and under the light of several Dao Dao lights, the deformed big hand was painfully retracted.
And everyone had a chance to ease up a little, but they were shocked when they looked at the surrounding situation.
They weren't in the river, they were still on the black water, in short, the black water here was gushing out like a fountain, and then converging into a plane high in the sky, and their soul boat was in the middle of this plane at the moment.
Around the plane, countless shadows of non-souls struggled on it, constantly reaching out their palms to the outside, as if begging others to help them pull them out, and as if they were deliberately crazy to grab everything they touched.
And the shaking of the soul boat is precisely because these palms are attached to the outside of the soul boat.
In addition to the shadows of non-souls and spirits on the high-altitude plane of the black water, there were also several huge creatures above the black level that were staring at them, and in the dim and dull Nine Shadows Environment, the appearance of these things seemed to be wrapped in layers of rich black qi.
Zhao Ning understood that those black qi were the so-called Nine Shades Qi.
With the combined force of everyone when they just entered, as if killing chickens and monkeys, these big guys didn't dare to act on them at the first time.
As a result, everyone paid more attention to the shadows that were not souls and spirits in these four areas.
Zhan Xue said, "Don't be fooled by them, they are as if nothing is wrong in the black water, but for us, this black water is fatal, as soon as we leave the soul boat, our souls sink directly into the black water, let alone teach these things a lesson, we will die first." ”
Feng Qingju is the best at resisting the wind, a magic decision flashed, only to see the wind suddenly rise, sweeping around the soul boat, those shadow palms that pulled the soul boat were forcibly cut off, but as if as long as they were in the black water, these shadow palms were constantly stretched out from the black water.
If they continue like this, they have not yet completely entered the Nine Shadows area, and this soul boat was first caught and sunk by these shadow claws and dragged into the black water.
"You can't force it." Zhao Ning said, "It costs too much, and the big guys around you who peep will not just be vigilant and observing." ”
People just know what they are facing.
Xiang Hongxuan asked, "What can you do?" ”
"Strengthen the formation of the soul wooden boat, and rush out directly." Zhao Ning proposed, "Only part of the entrance to the Nine Shadows is the Black Water area, and if we leave this area, we will no longer be restricted by the Black Water." ”
The Immortal Guard immediately said, "The old decay can ensure that the soul boat does not deviate from the direction, but this strengthens the formation. ”
"I can give it a try." Listen to Lan suddenly speak.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, she had been quiet all the time, and even came here with Zhao Ning and the three of them from Yangzhou, He Jie and Xiang Hongxuan almost ignored her existence.
However, not everyone ignored her, Feng Qingju's eyes fell on Tinglan from time to time from the beginning.
Wen Yan smiled, "I don't know what tricks the fairy has?" ”
Listening to Lan didn't say anything, but directly pinched the law decision, as the light cyan light light spread around her body, those lights seemed to be alive, showing a strange sense of agility, but then there was a thunder light, but I saw the thunder flashing, and in an instant, a word pattern from ancient times gathered with mysterious Taoist meaning appeared around her, and the next moment, as the law seal took shape, embedded in the light mask around the soul boat.
Ancient Thunder.
Zhao Ning murmured in her heart, she really knew the primeval thunder pattern.
It's just that the meaning of this primeval thunder pattern is not clear, as the primeval thunder pattern wraps around the soul boat like a string, wherever it rotates, the shadows in the black water retreat with their palms.
The rest of the people observed for a few minutes, He Jie raised his eyebrows, and Zhan Xuexuan recognized, "It's true that you've retreated, quickly, just now." ”
"Okay." The Stygian Guard answered.
With a shout, he turned to the soul boat more quickly, and in an instant, the soul boat flew forward for hundreds of feet.
Seeing that the soul boat was about to fly to the edge, the big guys around them couldn't hold back, and their huge shadows began to press towards the soul boat, and the entire soul boat was shrouded in it, and even the speed slowed down unconsciously.
"Uncle Hades, you don't care about these big guys, even if you go forward." Zhao Ning reminded in a loud voice.
"Yes." Feng Qingju shouted, "These big guys have us." ”
Saying that, the six yuan babies on the boat exchanged glances, nodded at the same time, and pinched the Dafa at the same time, only to see that their fingertip methods were complicated, and in the flying, strange and mysterious powers gathered in it.
Until a certain point of power, everyone pushed the magic seal upwards at the same time, and at the last moment, blocked the huge shadow that had recently pressed down, which was the palm of one of the huge monsters.
The other huge monsters did not sit and watch the tiger fight, but also wanted a piece of the pie, and also attacked them closely.
For a while, the magic seal condensed by the six people retreated three zhang downward, and even the soul boat sank a lot.
But even under such oppression, it did not have a substantial impact on the envoy of the soul boat, and seeing that the edge was about to arrive within a few breaths, the soul boat was about to take off.
The six of them signaled to each other, all of them understood, and as soon as they turned the law decision in their hands at the same time, they saw that the huge law seal of high-altitude resistance had an extremely strange rotation, and the runes on the law seal became more and more complicated, and the condensed power gradually had the tendency to turn the world upside down.
At the moment when the soul boat rushed out of the edge, Fa Yin rushed upwards under the combined force of the six people, instantly breaking through the layers of oppressive shadows, and then diverging into four roads in the high air, rushing towards the four coveted huge monsters.
The huge monsters were already huge, and they were caught off guard for a while when they met such a sudden attack, and two of them were seriously injured, let out a terrible wail, and fell backwards, smashing with a bang, while the other two, probably with rough skin and thicker flesh, were only forced to retreat several steps, and in order to prevent this magic seal from attacking the weak part of the head, their arms were crossed in front to resist.
Only then did everyone notice that this huge monster was not some kind of humanoid Nine Ghost Monster.
Instead, there were four tall black demon monkeys, but their eyes were completely blank, red and bloodthirsty, and they were still wearing huge battle armor, as if they were generals on the battlefield in ancient times.
Everyone didn't delve into the origin of these huge demon monkeys, just sensing their momentum, they knew that they were not weaker than the Yuanying realm.
They didn't want to waste too much mana on these demon monkeys, so they turned their hands and blessed the soul boat in the direction of the magic decision, further speeding up the speed of the soul boat.
The soul boat jumped into the air for nearly a few miles, and the distance of several miles was only an instantaneous time, and then the soul boat fell towards it, and landed steadily on the Heishui River.
Although it is still on the Blackwater River, it is not the crisis just now.
When everyone turned around, they could still see the inverted black water vortex like a fountain in the distance, and the four huge demon monkeys in the vicinity were almost shrouded in black gas, and they couldn't see the whole picture completely.
And the four huge demon monkeys, the soul boat will also be lost for a while, and they take advantage of this time to move away from the black water vortex even faster.
The atmosphere between the crowd eased slightly, and the soul boat headed towards the source of the Blackwater River.
Xiang Hongxuan said, "Why are there demon beasts deliberately guarding the entrance of the Nine Shadows? ”
He wondered, "Isn't this trying to get rid of everyone who comes in." ”
"Eh, Brother Xiang can't say that." Zhan Xuexuan stopped him, "This exploration of the Nine Shadows is an opportunity specially arranged by the Haochu Venerable, since it is arranged by the Haochu Venerable, it will not deliberately leave hidden dangers at the entrance, if we don't check it for a while, we will die because of it, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the Haochu Venerable, and even imply that the Haochu Venerable intends to kill us." It's impossible. ”
"If you want me to say, it must be that they sensed the fluctuations of the Youdu, but there is no way to leave the Nine Shadows directly like the two-headed hellhound, so they are stuck here."
Li Jing said, "They are the creatures of the Netherland, although they are not afraid of the black water, they are still afraid of the Nine Shadows. ”
He spread his hand and slightly sensed the mana in his body, "Every little mana consumed now, our danger here intensifies. Looking at the strength of their mana, I am afraid that they are waiting to intercept the creatures of the Netherland who accidentally fell into, devouring their mana, and when they recover, they will almost return to the Netherland. ”
Zhao Ning recognized his statement, as soon as he entered the Nine Shades, the statement on the Nine Shades in the ancient books was more intuitive and personal experience, and the feeling of eroding the mind all the time seemed to fall into endless negative emotions as long as his thoughts were biased, until he dragged his mind down.
Not to mention, less than half of the aura of heaven and earth is perceived here, and as long as pranayama is meditated, more and more of the Nine Shades Qi will enter the body.
Xiang Hongxuan just looked at the direction from afar, and he didn't know whether to solve his confusion or put his doubts aside for the time being.
He only asked, "Did Venerable Haochu tell you in detail, where is the opportunity to come here in the Nine Shadows?" ”
"The remnants of ancient gods, or the remains of ancient tombs."
"All crippled?"
"We don't know, maybe it's the impact of the devastation. By the time we meet, maybe the question will be answered. ”
"There's always an indescribable uneasiness in my heart, and there's a small murmur in my ears, as if something invisible is whispering nearby." Zhan Xuexuan didn't answer their topic, she frowned slightly and looked at the front of the soul boat.
Someone immediately echoed her, "We heard voices too. I'm afraid there's something ahead. ”
But it was not the sound itself that entered their perception first, but the scene of the Blackwater River intertwined with another river.
Eventually, they left the area of Blackwater, where the currents of the two areas could not be integrated with each other, presenting a clear dividing line.
The black water on one side is as black as ink, but the other side is unusually clear, even in this dim world, you can see at a glance that the bottom of the river is full of green water and grass.
For the first time, the mouth and face of the soul wooden boat head took the initiative to appear, and it looked ahead, and actually muttered faintly, "It's here." ”
Zhao Ning was already standing at the front, and this murmur was heard very clearly, and she asked, "What are you referring to?" ”
The place where the soul wood was originally born was the Nine Shadows, and it was faintly known from the illusion in the forest of the Stygian Moon Mansion, where the soul wood was probably more familiar than any of them.
Probably entering the familiar realm, its frightened courage gradually grew, and it didn't know whether it was answering Zhao Ning or talking to itself.
"The secluded yellow spring water, the long road of life."
Everyone paused, and at the same time realized what it meant.
Death.
It is rumored that the black water is the water of the Yellow Spring, and now it seems that the black water is connected to the water of the Yellow Spring, and it comes out of the Yellow Spring.
Leaving the Black Water area and following the boat into the Yellow Spring, the oppressive feeling from the Black Water that was invisibly attached to the divine soul gradually disappeared, but then the whispering and wailing sound like a maggot on the tarsal bone became clearer and clearer.
Unconsciously, there seems to be a little light around, faintly can recognize that both sides of the bank are overgrown with weeds, look farther away, the line of sight is not obstructed, unobstructed, as if the radius of hundreds of miles is a flat area, are the same overgrown weeds, only this yellow spring water flows through it, but it is the yellow spring, the weeds on both sides of the river are unusual.
When I really drove out of the junction of the two waters, I saw that these weeds had become leafless and flowerless, and there were flowers and no leaves.
On both sides of the Yellow Spring, the red flowers have no leaves, which is for the other side.
Endless flowers bloomed on both sides, like a blood-like color, and it was the only color in the entire Nine Shades.
"It is rumored that every flower on the other side is pregnant with a newborn ghost." Hearing Lan suddenly sighed.
"Oh, will these ghosts re-enter reincarnation after they are born and become Kyushu creatures?" Zhan Xuexuan said with interest.
Hearing Lan shook his head, "No, they will live forever in the Nine Shadows, and they are the children of the Nine Shadows." ”
"I don't know if there are any new ghosts in these flowers on the other side, I only know that there are a lot of old ghosts in us." Feng Qingdu said quietly, and then pointed forward.
Everyone stood up in unison, looked forward from the boat, and saw the yellow spring water a hundred feet away, illuminated a little by the flowers on the other side of the shore that lingered on the shore, and countless ghosts were pushed in the water, each of which was surrounded by a thick black aura of nine shadows, and the disturbing screams they had heard in their ears before came from their direction.
They floated in the yellow spring water, strangely going against the yellow spring water.
