Chapter 192: The City of the Underworld
Along the way, Li Leng gradually understood the reason why Tingxue led his clan into the burial place. In the early hours of last night, the empress suddenly issued a holy decree, asking Tingxue to enter the burial place with the treasure of the Flying Snow Fox Clan to investigate whether something happened to the burial place.
"The Empress...... Why do you ask the Flying Snow Fox Clan to enter the burial god land with the Treasure of the Gods?" Li Leng muttered to himself, feeling that something was wrong. The strength of the Flying Snow Fox Clan itself is not very strong, and Elder Yaoshan and Elder Peng are considered to be the highest in cultivation, but they are only in the Scattered Immortal Realm. In the secular vassal states, the cultivation of scattered immortals is already a top-notch existence, but in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, especially in Loulan City, scattered immortals are everywhere, but they are just ants-like existences. Sending such a family to the famous burial place to investigate the truth of the matter, wouldn't that let the people of the Flying Snow Fox Clan send them to death?
"Hmm!?What are you talking about?" Tingxue didn't hear clearly for a while, and asked with a frown.
Li Leng shook his head, some suspicions were just his speculation, and there was no full evidence. What's more, the mission of the Flying Snow Fox Clan is to protect the royal family of Loulan City, especially the safety of the empress. He was so suspicious of the empress's intentions, he was afraid that it would arouse the suspicion and displeasure of the entire Flying Snow Fox Clan. At that moment, he had no choice but to hold back the suspicion in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just heard that the burial of the gods is famous, and a few of you are not afraid of danger when you go in like this?
Listening to Xue frowned, she could hear that there was suspicion of the empress in Li Leng's words, but there was no unhappiness or disgust in her heart. This time, the empress suddenly asked the Flying Snow Fox Clan to investigate the burial ground, which itself revealed a lot of strange and weird. Generally speaking, this kind of place with a bad reputation is sent by the Dragon Tooth Guard to investigate, how could they send them to the Flying Snow Fox Clan? Moreover, in the Holy Decree, they were explicitly ordered to take the Fox Clan's supreme treasure. But suspicion is suspicion after all, she has no evidence, and she dare not disobey the empress's order, so she had to take the holy decree and take the fox clan to the burial place to investigate the truth of the matter.
The burial place was extremely dangerous, she made up her mind, and the people in the clan were all on the periphery to answer her, so she went in alone to investigate first. If there is danger, you can also keep a little fire for the fox clan.
"Yes, patriarch, has the empress sent someone to pick us up!?" The flying fox heard Li Leng's words at once, leaned over, and said, "The burial place is so dangerous, if we encounter danger, if the empress doesn't send someone to pick us up, then wouldn't our fox clan be dangerous." ”
Tingxue glared at him fiercely, and said dissatisfiedly: "You have a lot to do." The empress arranged it this way, she must have a plan and intentions. Our mission is to keep the Empress safe. The empress's holy decree, do you dare to disobey it? Don't do so much, when you get to the burial place, you and a few elders stay outside and wait for me. ”
"Patriarch, do you want to enter the burial god land alone?" the flying fox kept shaking his head and said, "That's not good, it's too dangerous, let me accompany you!" Patriarch, I can protect you. Don't worry, my cultivation has broken through again, and I have the ability and strength to protect you. ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, it's settled. Listening to Xue, she didn't want to talk nonsense, so she gave this order as the patriarch. The flying fox didn't have much to say, so he had to obey the order.
If you want to enter the burial land, you must go to the underworld to buy a few things, and get a pass from the lord of the underworld. Otherwise, the underworld army guarding the burial place will not let everyone in.
The city of the underworld is the second largest city after Loulan City. Its entire area is closely connected with Loulan City, and even part of the area is still in Loulan City. Therefore, for hundreds of thousands of years, the city of Hades and the city of Loulan have not been divided.
Most of the people living in Loulan City were members of the royal family, as well as the most elite powerhouses of the ancient country. Most of the people living in the underworld are ghost monks, that is, people from the underworld. When ordinary people hear the word "Hades", they will be scared to pee their pants. But for the people of Loulan City, they all yearn to go to the underworld. Last night, the second largest city in the ancient country of Loulan was full of great temptation and attraction for every Loulan person.
There is evil in the city of the underworld. It's impossible to say exactly what kind of evil it is. The young man's blood is strong, just like the sun that has just risen, and the whole person's blood is full of vitality. It can dispel the evil spirit of the underworld.
Middle-aged or elderly people can't, and middle-aged people are stronger. That is also a profit and a loss, as for the elderly, not to mention, Shouyuan is weak. It is precisely because of this that the blood qi of middle-aged and elderly people will be corroded by the evil qi of the underworld, which will accelerate the aging of blood qi.
For example, a middle-aged monk, in terms of Taoism, may live to be six or seven thousand years old, but once he enters the underworld and his blood and qi are corroded by the evil qi of the underworld, then he will accelerate his aging, and he may only live to be three or four thousand years old, and the longer he stays in the underworld, the faster he will age. This is a terrible place in the city of the underworld.
It is precisely because of this that for millions of years, the city of the underworld has become a paradise for the younger generation of the ancient country of Loulan, and there was a popular saying in the ancient country of Loulan: go to the city of the underworld when you are young, so as not to lose this life, otherwise, when you are old, you will never have a chance again. Therefore, for millions of years, no matter how powerful a being is, as long as it is no longer young, it will no longer be willing to set foot in the underworld, unless it is forced to do so.
Listening to Xue to understand this characteristic of the Underworld, let the middle-aged and elderly people such as Elder Yaoshan and Elder Peng wait for them outside the city. Then, she looked back at Li Leng and asked, "You want to go in together?"
In fact, as the head of the clan, she didn't welcome an outsider like Li Leng very much in her heart, for her, a human race of unknown origin like Li Leng was mixed with them, which would bring them risks, but Li Leng came cheekily, and it was not easy for Tingxue to expel him, unless Li Leng had a clear tendency to disfavor them.
Li Leng shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, and said slowly: "The underworld is the second largest city in Loulan City, and it has witnessed the strength of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. I came to Loulan City and wanted to see the Underworld. Maybe if you're lucky, you will come across some rare treasures, and it will be worth the trip. ”
"Oh, really?" Tingxue frowned tightly together, she always felt that Li Leng was very strange, as if she had come to Loulan City on purpose, and everything was under his control. It's a bad feeling, but it's not bad.
"Since you are not afraid of death and want to go in, then I won't stop you. However, I'll say that nothing you do in it has anything to do with us Flying Snow Fox. So, I warn you, when you enter the city, you'd better be honest and don't get yourself in trouble. Listen to Xue said coldly.
