Chapter 42: The Underworld
"Ahh
"Brush" "Brush" "Brush" ......
Xie Qingci's body was swept into the spatial crack by a strong suction, and she suddenly felt a burst of spatial turbulence hitting her Soul Devouring Spider body.
The outer armor on the body of the Spirit Devouring Spider is hard and bright, comparable to a spirit treasure. Under the fierce attack of this sudden turbulence, it was actually scraped and vibrated by this turbulent current hitting the "bell".
The originally sharp spikes were also polished smooth, and the hard surface of the armor was gradually thinned and lightened, and then chipped, fell, turned into powder, and was blown away without a trace.
Although it is not its body, but after taking the Demon Transformation Pill, the outer armor of this Spirit Devouring Spider is also connected to her body, and it is peeled off by such an attack, and the pain is like ten fingers piercing through the heart, Xie Qingci was pressed by this pain and his brows furrowed tightly, his face was painful, and his mouth unconsciously muttered.
Her consciousness gradually faded, half-unconscious, her eyes were dark, and her mind was chaotic and unconscious.
She almost fainted in a deep state, and she didn't want to wake up in her sleep.
"Resignation!"
Xiao Ling saw that she closed her eyes a little weakly, and couldn't help but exclaim, with a thick melancholy in her eyes.
She tried her best to cheer up, and turned into a human body here against the space storm, her small hands tightly hugged Xie Qingci's spirit devouring spider's body, her eyes were sharp and firm.
"Xiao Ling said, Xiao Ling will protect the resignation in a critical moment!"
Xiao Lingxin was ruthless, and bit the tip of her soft tongue, and a tingling pain passed along the tip of her tongue into her nerves.
Xiao Ling trembled, frowned in great pain, and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of essence blood.
"Poof"
This lip of red and bright essence blood was like a living creature, gently suspended, suspended in the void, the little spirit's body rotated, and the palm of his hand slapped towards the essence blood. The blood melted into a ray of light in her hands.
For a while, the wind rose, her skirt fluttered, the wind surrounded her, her face was serious, and she pinched her fingers to perform the spell.
Xiao Ling's body exuded orange light, his white hair fluttered, his body was blurred, and his small body gradually turned into an orange circle of light, floating quietly, like the aura of a god.
The orange circle of light was gentle and sacred, enveloping her, tightly wrapping Xie Qingci's scarred body, gently caring and soothing her wounds.
Her wound quickly scabbed over.
"Hmm......"
Xie Qingci's eyes were closed, his brows seemed to stretch a little, and he couldn't help but groan comfortably.
Xiao Ling was overjoyed when he saw this, his aura became brighter and more dazzling, and he increased his efforts to continue to heal the remaining wounds.
"Hiss......"
Under the illumination of this aura, Xie Qingci's whole body radiated light, and the spider body that was originally transformed into a demon pill also began to blur, gradually turning into a human body.
Xiao Ling was a little happy and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a soul body floated out from Xie Qingci's Heavenly Spirit Cover, and it was quickly swept into the spatial turbulence with lightning speed.
"Ah, the soul of resignation!"
Xiao Ling was stunned by this sudden situation, and couldn't help but be shocked when he realized what had happened.
She controlled the aura, and the orange aura split into a hook of light in an instant, and shot directly at the soul that was floating away with a "whoosh", trying to hook Xie Qingci's soul back.
But I didn't expect that when this soul entered the spatial turbulence, it was like a turbulent current that merged into the vast sea, and it disappeared without a trace, and it disappeared in an instant.
Only Xie Qingci's body was left lying stiffly in place, and the little spirit who wanted to cry without tears turned into a halo to stay in place to protect Xie Qingci's body.
"Woo...... What should I do......"
---
Xie Qingci felt a little headache.
“%¥#......”
She couldn't help frowning, and there were all kinds of unfamiliar voices around her, making a commotion.
"Who is this? new here?"
"The soul power is not weak, it seems that there is a foundation. ”
"When I die, I should be a whole corpse, and I look at this full beard and tail, which is quite enviable to the ghost......"
“......”
The hustle and bustle around her was like a busy city, which made her wake up from a dark dream.
Xie Qingci raised his drooping eyelids with some difficulty, and struggled to get up, a headless body was facing her, and blood was flowing slowly.
"Ahh
Xie Qingci's pupils shrank a little, and he screamed in fright, and the whole person jumped up, and his brain instantly cleared up.
W-What the hell?!
Xie Qingci looked around in shock.
After seeing the "strangers" around her, her eyes couldn't help but widen, like a pair of copper bells, and her mouth was also wide open, undisguised in horror!
Xie Qingci: ??!!
"Are you awake?"
A group of strange-looking "people" surrounded her, with a look of curiosity.
Some of them had a broken arm, some had their feet cut off, some had their entire heads cut off from the waist down, some had their entire heads gone, and some had become a mass of meat sauce, like a lump of mud, still wriggling, and it looked creepy.
Slightly better, the whole body is black, and it looks like it has been poisoned, or a large hole in the chest is eye-catching, and the blood is gurgling.
What's even more terrifying is that their "wounds" do not scab and heal, but maintain a bloody "fresh" appearance, the flesh and blood on the wounds are tumbling upside down, the meridians are bulging, and they are slowly wriggling like an independent life form, and the blurred appearance of the flesh and blood makes people feel extremely disgusting when they look at it.
"Gollum"
Xie Qingci looked at it, his face turned blue, faintly pale, he felt a tumbling stomach for a while, and he almost couldn't help but vomit in front of him.
She endured her physical discomfort and smiled awkwardly and politely.
She asked:
“...... Hello, fellow Daoists. Where is this?"
When a group of ghosts saw her awake, they all came up with some curiosity, and scrambled to speak.
"Where did you come from? You don't even know here?"
"This is the underworld, come here when you die and become a ghost. ”
"There are no people and demons, only ghosts. ”
“......”
A man who had been beheaded looked at her, looking at her with scrutiny in his eyes, a little wary, and a little curious in his tone:
"How did you die? Why didn't you have a single wound on your body? There was no poisoning either. ”
"Yes, I died because my head was cut off, how did you die?"
A headless man couldn't help but answer, his eyes full of surprise.
"Looks like your death is pretty good......"
"I don't know ...... either."
Xie Qingci was a little stunned and looked at his body.
Complete indeed...... Merely......
How is her body virtual?
"Why am I a soul?" she asked.
"This is the underworld, you don't know what the underworld is, do you?"
Xie Qingci shook his head.
The headless man looked at her with some pity, and his tone was very emotional.
"Yes...... Seeing that she was still a young girl, it was estimated that she had not been in the immortal cultivation world for long before she was killed...... How dangerous the world of cultivating immortals is......"
When Xie Qingci heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"So I'm dead?"
She remembered the last scene she saw before she fell unconscious, her body being swept into the spatial turbulence, eroded by the spatial storm, and then ......
Looking at it like this, it seems that she has encountered an accident.
She was a little lost, and suddenly remembered Xiao Wu and Lian Wangshu, and then thought of Zong Sheng and Xie Wei, and was inexplicably a little sad.
The man with the broken arm looked at her a little depressed, felt pity, and sighed to comfort her:
"Don't be too depressed. It is your blessing to come to the underworld, and you may be able to start all over again if you cultivate the ghost path. ”
Xie Qingci was stunned, and then a wave of ecstasy surged into his heart.
She asked, a little trembling.
"I ...... Can I still live?"
"Of course. ”
The waist slashing man answered, with hope in his tone: "Our underworld is actually the ghost cultivation realm. The ghost cultivation realm is the territory of ghost cultivation. ”
"It is said that after death, most people or demons will go to hell for reincarnation, while a small number will come to the underworld and will keep their memories, so they have the opportunity to become ghosts. If you cultivate well as a ghost in the underworld, you may be able to reshape your body one day and come back from the dead in another sense. ”
"We are all soul bodies now, and our faces and images remain the same as before we died, like me, a demon cultivator who died by slashing his waist. ”
His mouth was cracked, revealing Bai Sensen's sharp teeth like blades, and his waist was dripping with blood, and the blood was still falling "tick-tock".
Xie Qingci: "...... Forehead. ”
Does this mean that her death is not bad?
She also had hope in her heart, and she was a little happy.
Perhaps, she has a chance to live well.
---
According to these "seniors", the so-called ghost path is actually the cultivation of the soul body.
She tried to cultivate with the basic exercises of ghost cultivation, but to her surprise, her body originally only had the strength of the Qi cultivation period, but her soul body actually reached the strength of the foundation building period.
In other words, she is now a foundation building ghost cultivator.
These "seniors" are very concerned and enthusiastic about her, although she feels strange and secretly vigilant in her heart, but she also maintains the friendliness and gratitude on her face, and she also takes a lot of things about the underworld from their mouths in the weekday conversation, and has a preliminary understanding of the situation in the underworld.
The underworld, which is often referred to as the ghost cultivation realm in the world, is a place where some souls of people or demons gather after death.
Not everyone or demon can come to the underworld after death, maybe it depends on chance.
It is said that the legendary hell is in the underworld, and there is a legendary hell judge who judges the way of the soul according to the book of life and death, the six realms of reincarnation, but this is just a rumor, and no ghost has really seen it yet.
Nowadays, the greatest force in the underworld is the Ghost Temple.
The origin of the ghost hall is mysterious, the history is long, and the disciples inside are extremely rare, and almost all of them live in seclusion and do not have contact with the outside. The reputation of the ghost hall is outside, and the strength is also strong, and it has always been a giant-like existence.
In the underworld, in addition to the ghost hall, there are many scattered ghost forces, but most of them are not in the climate, so in the underworld, it is almost the situation where the ghost hall is dominant.
It is said that the Oniden holds the ultimate secrets about the underworld and hell......
Xie Qingci silently pondered the information he had gotten, pondered for a moment, and made a decision.
She had to find a way to get into the ghost hall.
Perhaps, there is a way to get her back there.
