Volume 1: Seven Shows Chapter 17: The Road to Life and Death
"Qinghan, have you noticed that there is something dirty following us? In a passage covered with purple vines, Dao Shiyue followed behind Ding Qinghan, holding the black umbrella in his hand tightly, and glanced back behind him from time to time.
"Hmm. Ding Qinghan held the hilt of the sword and stopped, glanced at the empty passage behind him, and said as usual: "It's nothing, it's just an invisible little reptile, don't worry about it!"
Dao Shiyue looked at Ding Qinghan's back, and didn't know why he had an indescribable feeling, as if since he obtained the power in the stone statue, his whole person exuded a strong death aura, just like a dying old man, and his life was completely lost.
However, the strange phenomenon is that no matter how you look at him, his appearance is the same as before, except for a stream of dead air that keeps emanating from his body, and even some vines close to his body instantly withered and died.
"This is?" The two of them walked along the purple passage, and suddenly a stone gate blocked the way, and after Dao Shiyue glanced at the ancient words on the stone gate clearly, she gasped and said with a shocked face: "The rumored road of life and death!
Ding Qinghan's face sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What should I do now, do you want to go back the same way?"
Daoist Yue shook her head with a wry smile: "It's too late, once you set foot on the road of life and death, there will be no life!"
Sure enough, just as she spoke, the stone gate slowly rose, and behind them, at some point, it turned into an endless sea of fire.
Ding Qinghan glanced at the endless sea of fire behind him, gritted his teeth, and strode into the stone gate.
"If you want to live, leave your head behind!" As soon as I entered the door, I saw nothing else, but a line of dead blood.
"It's gone, it's back now, like a nightmare, and it's terrifying!"
Whose bones are piled up on the ground, whose heads are hanging on the walls, who dies, who does not die, everyone must die, I cannot die.
Dao Shiyue followed in, she stood beside Ding Qinghan, and after observing for a while, she whispered: "The road of life and death is really as rumored, it is extremely dangerous inside, and once you break in, there is no way to retreat, but the situation rumored in the outside world seems to be a little inconsistent with here, so who is it?"
Ding Qinghan took Dao Shiyue's hand, looked up at the front and asked with his eyes narrowed slightly, "Which way are we going?"
I saw that in front of them, there were two passages, one left and one right, the left passage had life written on it, and the right passage had death written on it.
Dao Shiyue gently pulled away Ding Qinghan's hand, shook her head with a wry smile and said, "There may be a dead end on both sides, but we must go separately." ”
Ding Qinghan's face sank, and he said resolutely: "No, I don't agree!"
Seeing that Ding Qinghan was in a hurry, Daoist Shiyue hurriedly explained: "Qinghan, you listen to me first, if we go one way, maybe we can all be alive, but if we all enter the same way, we will definitely die!"
Ding Qinghan just watched quietly, it was obvious that he didn't believe Dao Shiyue's explanation.
Seeing that Ding Qinghan didn't believe it, she continued: "Qinghan, I know what you're worried about, but have you thought about it, why are there two passages on the road of life and death?"
"Because, it was meant for two people. ”
Dao Shiyue looked up at Ding Qinghan's face, and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Believe me, no matter which way we go, we will definitely be able to get out alive." ”
Ding Qinghan nodded, no longer arguing, he walked to the side of the dead end, and said, "Listen to you, I'll choose this side." ”
Daoist Yue smiled knowingly, glanced at Ding Qinghan, and did not stop him, letting him walk into the dead end, because no matter which way he went, it was actually the same.
As for why they are separated, it is because when Dao Shiyue was looking through ancient books, he found a detail, since ancient times, the people who have survived the road of life and death, they have all walked separately, and those who died on the road of life and death have all chosen to enter the same channel.
Therefore, she speculated that although the entrances of the two passages were in the same direction, after entering the inside, they actually acted at both ends of the same circle at the same time, and any actions they made in their respective passages might directly affect the life and death of the other party.
Unlike now, in the past, the path of life and death was open to the outside world, but then it disappeared inexplicably, and there was no record of it ever seen by a mountain spirit master again.
In the dead end, Ding Qinghan is walking unhurriedly, this is a deep passage, but it is not dark inside, the top of the top is full of oil lamps, as if no matter how much time passes, it seems that it will never be extinguished.
And there are so many bones on the ground next to the wall that you can't imagine what has happened here, and how many people have died to pile it up like this.
It was very quiet, so quiet that only Ding Qinghan's voice came out, but what you didn't know was that there was a bloody stump behind him.
"What's that?"
There has always been an ominous premonition, and Ding Qinghan turned back sharply.
But when he turned around, he saw not bloody stumps, but several skulls lined up, and the strange thing was that there were blood stains in the corners of each skeleton's eyes, as if they had just cried, but what flowed out was blood.
"Dead open!"
A rune paper was thrown, and all the skeletons turned into ashes, and the reason why Ding Qinghan did this was not because he was afraid, but because he was worried that it would not be cost-effective to be attacked by him.
The passage was very long, and under the light of the fire, the shadow was stretched very long, and what made Ding Qinghan feel that something was wrong was that at the head of his shadow, there was a human head that seemed to have been scratched and scratched, which was very strange, it did not fall to the ground, because it would float with Ding Qinghan's shadow.
Always felt that something was wrong, Ding Qinghan stopped and looked up, only to see a bloody face against his face, two eyes without white eyeballs staring at him, and suddenly, a stump stretched out from the top of his head.
Boom... The head fell to the ground, and the remnant palm opened and pressed Ding Qinghan's heavenly spirit cover, and suddenly the seven orifices bled out, and the whole person fell to the ground half-kneeling at once.
"Come back!" A hoarse female voice sounded in the passage, echoing one after another until it finally dissipated, and the stump flew away quickly and disappeared in an instant.
Ahem, ahem... Ding Qinghan leaned against the wall, sat down with some difficulty, and after half an hour, he got up and clenched the iron sword and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly... With a bang, a stone door smashed, directly blocking the passage, to Ding Qinghan's surprise, a line of blood words appeared on the stone door, "You can't turn back, otherwise you will die!"
This, there is no way ahead, but it reminds that there is no turning back, which is clearly a dead end.
Unless, unless... Advance!
But Ding Qinghan tried it, this stone gate was as hard as iron, and with his spiritual power, if he didn't use external force, he couldn't knock it down or shatter it at all, and when he was worried, he suddenly thought of Song Mo in the Earth Shatter Mirror.
Although this girl is a soul body, she has cultivated the Heavenly Shadow to hide, and has extremely explosive power, maybe she may be able to smash this stone gate with one punch.
"Master, please step back a bit. In front of the stone gate, Song Mo, who had been sneaking and cultivating, reappeared after a few days.
"Huh!" Ding Qinghan looked at Song Mo and sighed in surprise, it had only been a few days, and he couldn't see through the depth of her skills.
"Drink~" Song Mo stood in front of the stone gate, his face ruthlessly waved his fist, and a shadowless force instantly swept the four directions.
When Song Mo put away his fist, he only heard the sound of the card rubbing, and the stone door was broken!
The long passage, the faint firelight, Ding Qinghan looked at Song Mo with his eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.
You must know that in the face of this stone gate, if you don't use external forces, Ding Qinghan has no choice.
But Song Mo only smashed it with one punch!
It can be imagined how terrifying her punch is, if it hits a person, even the mountain spirit master of the four yangs will not be seriously injured.
"Master, Mo'er went back first. Song Mo bowed to Ding Qinghan, and his figure disappeared into the passage, returning to the Earth Demon Mirror to continue his cultivation.
Putting away the earth brake mirror and glancing at the shattered stone door, Ding Qinghan raised his right foot and kicked it away, and then continued to walk forward.
However, before he could take a few steps, Ding Qinghan suddenly stopped, because the stone gate that hindered people appeared again, and a row of blood words that made people collapse physically and mentally appeared particularly dazzling.
"Go back, you can still live!"
Ding Qinghan frowned, a little unclear, he couldn't turn back before, okay, then move forward!
Now you have to go back by yourself, or die, what does this mean?
No, it's a dead end, it's a dead end from the first level, and when I turn back and die, I move forward and die, but I can't die!
"Whoever dies, whoever doesn't, everyone has to die, I can't die!"
With the power of Mother Earth, Ding Qinghan punched out at Shimen.
But then, the unthinkable happened.
I saw that the stone gate that was shattered was restored in an instant, just like this stone gate had the power to come back from the dead, which was extremely weird!
Seeing that Shimen recovered instantly, Ding Qinghan looked a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, only to see him punch again.
It's just that this time, unlike just now, there are three colors of spiritual power wrapped around his fist.
They are: black, gold, and purple.
Needless to say, the golden and purple spiritual power was the reason for his dual cultivation of swordsmanship.
But the black spiritual power, if you look closely, there are actually two kinds of black.
It's just that it's not very conspicuous, it's not easy to distinguish, one color is darker, and the other color is much lighter, this is caused by external forces, this phenomenon will appear, as for the two black spiritual powers, they are naturally the power of the Earth Shatter Mirror and the Mother Earth.
With a click, the stone gate shattered again, but this time, it didn't have time to recover at all, and it was completely stirred into powder by Ding Qinghan's terrifying power.
"Hmph~ As long as the strength is strong enough, there is nothing in this world that cannot be broken. Putting away his fists, Ding Qinghan vomited blood one after another, and walked slowly against the wall.
The reason why he was injured was because there was a certain price to be paid with the help of external forces, and the most common thing was naturally that the rou body was directly injured.
It's a torturous place, and you might wonder if there will be another stone gate as you walk, and it does.
It's just that the blood words this time are incomprehensible, it's really incredible!
: The place in front of me is not here, and the self in my eyes has become someone else.
This is not the shore, this person is not himself!
A sentence that can't be figured out is nothing, the important thing is that from the moment he saw this sentence, Ding Qinghan couldn't move the whole thing.
The other person is standing, but the feeling is lying down, the eyes are seeing, but the memory is blank.
There was a person lying in the white space, and after hearing only a snapping crack, suddenly the sky was dark, and the white floated like shards, and the person kept sinking.
There were a lot of hands in the dark space, and they had been trying to catch the sinking man, but they couldn't.
Ding Qinghan felt numb, how could he still feel numb.
Plop ~ plop ~ heartbeat, suddenly stopped heartbeat, why can you still hear it.
"I just had a moment and I saw the world 30,000 years ago, and the world said to me, one day in 30,000 years, you will see me 30,000 years ago, and then I think I should wake up. Opening his eyes suddenly, Ding Qinghan stared at the line of blood and observed it carefully, and finally he found a problem.
It turns out that the line "The place in front of you is not here, and the self in your eyes has become someone else." "It's just used to shake people, and the focus is on the words in the words.
Although it is a little vague, Ding Qinghan can also guess a rough idea.
"Junior, three levels in the middle, it takes two hours, and there is one time left, or die!"
Hurry up! Nothing needs to be said, time waits for no one. Sure enough, the end of the passage soon arrived, and a different stone gate was slowly descending.
Ding Qinghan strode forward with an iron sword in his hand, just to seize this imminent moment.
Fate seemed to pass by the Grim Reaper, life and death were intimately [kissed] together, and just as the others were about to crawl out of the passage, a stump suddenly appeared and grabbed his heel.
To be continued......
