Chapter 25: Entering the Nine Shadows and Seeing Ye Wucheng for the First Time
Leave the place where the mortal world is full of yang energy, enter the door of illusion, and from then on, yin and yang are separated.
What came into view was a snow-covered land of nine secluded places, Yun Pillow couldn't help but shiver, looking at only a wide avenue from a distance, there was no snow leading to the end of the darkness, there was no vegetation and trees on both sides of the avenue, bare and white just like its name Nine Secluded, this is the dark underworld, there is no light and no life.
I was surprised to see the vast white snow cloud pillow, but I didn't expect the Nine Shadows Vision to be real. The candle flame in the lantern in his hand emitted a faint light, trembling and lonely lit.
Stepping into the cloud pillow in the void, he couldn't figure out the direction, looked at the Liuchuan beside him and asked, "Isn't there a candlelight in Jiuyou?"
Rukawa raised his eyes and stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and in an instant big red lanterns appeared on both sides of the wide road, and along the winding lanterns, a long red light extended in front of a palace-like city wall.
Liuchuan felt the shiver of the cloud pillow, and out of nowhere a big red and white fur collar was conjured, which matched the clothes of the cloud pillow, draped behind the cloud pillow, and the white fur collar reflected the red light, and the cloud pillow little face was even more creamy, which seemed to be prepared for her.
"Jiuyou is really snowing!" Yun Zhen tucked the fur collar around his neck, and saw that the man was also wearing a big sash of the same color as the clothes on his body, which made Liuchuan even more majestic and tall.
"Walk past and you will arrive at the Gate of the Nine Shadows. Rukawa glanced at the cloud pillow and nodded in explanation.
Looking at the cloud pillow, the city wall at the end of the red lantern was like the shadow of a black giant, blocking all hope.
"Have you always lived here?" Yun Zhen looked up at Liuchuan, he seemed very lonely in the dark, and seemed to be very suitable for staying in the dark.
Rukawa lowered his eyes and nodded: "Well, thousands of years." ”
"Thousands of years?" said these three words in a deep voice.
Liuchuan took Yun Zhen's small hand and walked: "I don't remember how many thousand years it was." ”
Yun Zhen raised his eyes and looked at the man's back in the dim red, the soul of the Nine Shadows is also a place of dead silence after all, how did it survive for thousands of years?
Feeling the temperature from the man's palm, Yun Zhen noticed that the man had a temperature!
"Are you a ghost?" asked Yun Zhen in a daze.
Hearing this, Liuchuan's palms tightened slightly, and he didn't turn his head sideways and said, "What do you say?"
Yun Zhen felt the temperature of his palm again, and followed the man's steps in shock: "You are a living person!"
Rukawa smiled: "Why am I human, are you disappointed?"
Yun Zhen was speechless in surprise: "That.... Then you are in the Nine Shadows?"
Yun Zhen suddenly thought that Liuchuan called the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven during the Hundred Immortals Banquet!
"Are you from the Feng clan over there?"
Rukawa nodded: "Sort of, my mother is the sister of the Queen of Heaven." ”
Yun Zhen asked, "What about your father?"
Liuchuan clenched his palms when he heard this, and Yun Zhen felt the man's aura sink.
Rukawa still didn't look back: "Don't mention it." ”
"Good. ”
Yun Zhen looked up at the man's side face, as if trying to find something in the glimmering eyes.
The two walked through the avenue lit with red lanterns to the city gate.
Netherworld
There was no soldier handle at the city gate, the two walked to the black city gate, only to hear the sound of the "squeak" wooden door opening, the black heavy city gate opened, and the cloud pillow hiding behind Liuchuan was already ready, the big deal was to be scared and fainted.
But Yun Zhen saw a scene that was completely different from what he imagined outside the city gate.
Although it is night, the liveliness of the city is no less than that of Lin'an City today.
The bustling crowd, everyone was dressed like mortals, but everyone wore a black veil on their heads, and their faces could not be seen.
The streets are crowded with shops and vendors.
"It's so lively in the city!" sighed Yun Zhen.
"It's like that every day, and if you like it, you can come and see it later. ”
Yun Zhen shrunk his neck and let her play in the streets full of ghosts, if a ghost's veil fell off and Yun Zhen saw his ghost, he was afraid that he would die on the street.
When Liuchuan came back at this time, many ghosts recognized him, because the people in the Nine Shadows Mansion did not wear veils.
"Hello Lord Jiuyou. ”
"Lord Nine Shadows is back!"
"Hello Lord Jiuyou!"
The endless greetings, Rukawa responded one by one.
Yun Zhen looked at Rukawa without a trace of impatience and smiled.
"Ruchuan, don't so many ghosts go to reincarnation?" asked Yun Zhen curiously.
"Everyone has that person or that thing that they can't let go of when they are alive, and it's these obsessions that make them not want to go to reincarnation, they don't want to forget everything that happened in the past. ”
Yun Zhen nodded understandingly, looked at the black yarn on their heads and asked, "Then why are they wearing black yarn?"
"People die like lights go out, the grievances in the previous life have long disappeared, they live in the Nine Shadows with their memories, and they are afraid that some enemies will be very red when they meet. ”
"If you can't see each other, you don't know who he is. "It's a good system.
Yun Zhen looked at the ghosts on the street who didn't behave strangely, and the little heart that mentioned his throat and eyes fell back a little.
At this time, a Yin soldier wearing black armor and a black mask quickly passed through the street, stopped in front of Liuchuan and knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, the demon clan is here, and I have been waiting in the Nine Shadows Mansion for two days. ”
Liuchuan frowned, his eyes returned to the previous indifference, and even a little cold, Yun Zhen looked at Liuchuan's eyes, this may be the look that Liuchuan should have in Jiuyou.
"Got it, step down. ”
The Yin soldiers retreated.
Yun Zhen asked, "Are you from the Demon Clan?"
Ruchuan let go of Yun Zhen's hand at this time, nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Feeling the temperature of his palm leaving, Yun Zhen suddenly felt a little more lonely in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it: "Then should I avoid it?"
Liuchuan glanced at Yun Pillow: "No, I'm afraid he already knows." ”
Yun Zhen nodded, and followed Liuchuan to the Nine Shadows Mansion.
It's still a black gate, and there are two teams of Yin soldiers in armor and masks at the door, compared to the city gate, I don't know how much more majestic it is, like a bottomless black hole, I'm afraid that I can't get out as soon as I enter, which makes people feel a little more depressed.
"Master!" the two teams of Yin soldiers said respectfully when they saw Rukawa coming back.
Rukawa nodded, stepped on the steps of the door, and the door opened by itself.
Cloud Pillow immediately followed, different from the gate, the houses in the house are ordinary and impermanent, compared to the majestic white of the Nine Heavens, Cloud Pillow feels that the houses of the Nine Shadows are more like mountains and rivers, and there is a sense of loneliness in the world.
Stepping into the hall, I saw a man in white sitting leisurely, wearing a white mantle, warming himself around the stove.
The man was handsome and white, slender but looked a little thin, and when he saw the two of them coming in, the man smiled harmlessly, and there was a pair of shallow dimples on both cheeks.
"Brother, you're back. ”
Rukawa glanced at the man and nodded, sat down on the upper seat, and turned around to signal Yun Zhen to sit down.
The man was shocked at first when he saw the red-clothed cloud pillow, stood up suddenly, and then looked at Liuchuan with surprise and speculation on his face: "This is?"
"She doesn't know you. Rumor replied.
