Unzen Chapter 120 The Underworld
The entanglement between good and evil can be traced back thousands of years ago, and at first it may have been just two sects with different concepts, but gradually developed into two camps, and the scale of the struggle has also been small and has reached today's big fight.
I don't know how many sects have been destroyed for thousands of years because of the struggle between good and evil, and beyond their own strength and lifespan, making cultivators both powerful and indifferent, cultivation is the main content of their lives, and no one will especially remember those sects that disappeared because of lack of strength.
This is a rare point of view that can be agreed between good and evil, especially in the era of war, when everyone was too busy to take care of themselves, and only now that everyone is tired and has begun to be busy developing and expanding the sect, it can be regarded as ushering in this prosperous era of peace.
But some of the dead souls will not give up easily, they do not want to be forgotten like this, and those who carry the memories of the dead, they want the world to know that their hearts are as strong as the hatred!
A humble room, with walls made of a simple mixture of earth and hay, could only be used as a simple shelter, and above the room was a window that could only be called a 'big hole', from which a beam of light shone in, which was the only source of light in the room.
It's not that the people who live here don't want to light candles, but the years of underground life have made them accustomed to such hiding.
Only a place where there is no light can soothe the uneasiness in their hearts.
From the uneasiness of being chased.
This chased sect was also strong, but now it can only hide in the lower world, and the connection with the human world can only rely on them to keep a few disciples in the human world, organized into an organization called 'Mountain Ghosts', which can maintain their contact with the earthly world.
"The time is coming for us to fight back. The man's voice was hoarse and low, like a dry and cracked earth, he was the leader of the organization, the three ghosts, that is, the leader of the organization that once appeared in Guangyao City, he was also the head of this Lan Yan faction, it can be said that he is the only one who can safely get out of this underground space now.
The excitement in his voice was undiminished, his voice was loud, but it was not so obvious under the roaring water in the distance overhead.
It was a natural space hidden between two mountains, the lower half of the mountain was empty, because it gave them the opportunity to hide here, and the sound of the rushing water overhead came from a waterfall on the mountain.
The year-round waterfall makes it very humid and uncomfortable, but it's a great way to hide for those who hide here.
The sound of the water continued, and soon another voice rang out, and he reminded: "My lord, is this action a bit reckless? Once exposed, I am afraid that all the clansmen will be implicated!"
The man who spoke before suddenly turned his head, his eyes widened angrily, his voice was like a storm in his chest, deafening: "Shut up! Don't say it, I've already contacted that person, he will provide me with strong support, with his help, this time the effect will be great! besides..."
The man chuckled indistinctly and continued, "Besides, I'm just throwing away some 'scraps', you can interpret this operation as a cleanup, we already have a lot of test items, and we can't fit them here." ”
"It's just a pity that the thirteenth, the investigation results were sucked dry!? Those rice buckets have not yet found out who did it, I don't look for anyone to help, and I count on you people who eat and wait for death to take revenge every day?!"
The more the man spoke, the more excited he became, and the bruises on his head were exposed, but the person who was talking to him did not let him say anything: "I hope that your Excellency will consider it carefully, without such a pie-in-the-sky good thing, how can that person help us for free? I am afraid that he has a plot against our results!"
The man sneered, and his voice was grim: "Plot? At least we still have the value of being used, as long as we can give me a chance to take revenge, why not be used?"
The man of counsel gave him a deep look, and finally could only sigh silently.
The two of them looked at the roof, at the light that was leaking in. This light, like the life they have now, is something that should not exist at this time.
This faint light is the only moonlight that can be seen in the underground space here, coming from a narrow gap in the high rock wall, and this is the only place where people who live here can miss their land life when they miss it.
In addition to the humble mud houses where the two of them now lived, there were a dozen or twenty such houses, all of which were inhabited by their people.
This group of sinners were banished and chased, who at first may have belonged to the same sect, but after years of escape, they are now a family.
Now they are mainly wanted to track them down, but in the past, they were not tolerated by the world!
The two men who had just been talking in the dark left the earthen house, and outside the earthen house, branches and leaves covered with various plants were hung to keep warm and keep out the cold, and at the same time, it also increased the concealment of the place.
Although it is unlikely that anyone will come, even if they do come by mistake, they will be arrested and slowly become one of them.
After all, this place is not allowed to be discovered.
This underground space is more like a gap between two mountains, and these earthen houses are built on the walls of the mountains on both sides, generally embedded in the rocks, and generally exposed to the outside. The two of them followed a path in the middle of the mountain walls on both sides, all the way down.
When the moonlight in the sky was completely invisible, the two came to a gate.
It was a heavy bronze gate, and it took everyone a whole year to secretly transport the materials to build it in such a place.
The tall bronze door exuded an icy aura, with an unknown black goo attached to the surface, and covered with cobwebs, obviously cleaning does not exist here, but the two handles of this door are very clean, and it is obvious that people often enter and exit here.
Standing in front of this gate, the leading man suddenly snapped his fingers, and a stream of fire appeared in the palm of his hand out of thin air, this is a fire without heat, it is the sect to which this man belongs, the top practice of the Lan Yan Sect, the heart burning fire.
The place where the heart burning fire passes does not hurt a flower or grass, only burns its essence, and then uses it for its own use, which can be said to be a great magic skill to quickly improve cultivation.
This evil skill used to be a sensation, and the person who was injured by this demonic fire did not seem to have any harm on the surface, but in fact, this person has lost his heart or lost his mind, and all that remains in the world is this empty shell that will not live long.
This can be called a silent killing method, which is terrifying, but this is not the reason why the Lan Yan Sect was exterminated by both good and evil.
However, the fire does not work on dead objects, so the way to prevent it is very simple, as long as there is an iron wall to block its progress. At the same time, it can also be used as a secret key to unlock the ban.
Sensing the man's incinerating fire, there was a low crunch from the inside of the bronze gate, and the internal lock was opened, and then the man easily opened the door without much effort.
Behind the man, the man who had come with him was still making his last struggles, trying to shake the man's firm decision.
But this act was obviously useless, and not only that, but he also angered this man who had lost his patience!
Looking at the man's blood-red eyes, the man who had been admonishing did not show any fear, he probably knew from the beginning what he was doing and the consequences of doing it.
The man's beastly eyes stared at him for a moment, and then he said angrily, "Go in." ”
There was no surprise on the man, and the moonlight could not be seen from here. He had been trapped here for more than a decade, and he understood why his patriarch was so impatient, and everyone missed the days when they lived in the sun.
Even after more than ten years, the people on the ground still didn't let go of searching for them, but all they could do every day while staying here was to keep repeating that study and improving the cultivation of the sect.
Behind this bronze gate is the 'test product' they have accumulated over the past ten years, and it can be said that the breath and smell of the people who still live here are almost the same as those things.
As soon as they leave this place, as soon as they leave this natural shelter, the strong smell of their bodies will attract the attention of the seekers on the ground!
Therefore, the people who are hiding here, from the beginning full of hope, to the present heart is like ashes, during this period, naturally many people have given up revenge, trying to exchange for freedom, not to mention whether the people who chase and kill them will agree, just the patriarch's level, they can't get through.
The man lifted his feet and took two steps towards the bronze gate.
In the first place where it was built, it was just a dark cave, and after the tribesmen excavated and expanded day and night, the internal space was no longer the same as it was at the beginning, but it did not get better, but it changed from a natural cave to an underground prison.
The unknown ahead made people feel boundless fear, and the man couldn't help but look back, but the man behind him was like a mountain, completely blocking the way out, so he took a deep breath and simply continued to move forward.
Ahead was a thick fog with no visibility, but it was unknown what the faint green light emitted made it brighter than outside.
From the fog ahead, there was a strange rumbling sound, making it difficult to tell the direction of the sound. It's a place where the 'test subjects' are held, a cage for the failed ones, but at the same time for all the people.
