Chapter 224: The Road of Life and Death

Nameless island

Ye Zhiqiu stored the true body of the immortal body in the legal domain composed of the four beads of earth, water, fire and wind, and quietly escaped from the true spirit, flying towards Izumo, who was less than a hundred miles away.

Along the way, the turbulent waves reciprocated and stirred conflicts, and the turbulent sea surface did not subside for a moment, and the original sea creatures could only stay at the bottom of the sea as they went down to the bottom of the sea, in order to barely survive, multiply, and expand their population.

When Ye Zhiqiu flew to the coast, he found that the boundary between the sea and the land did not even appear on the beach, and there were strange rocky light and dark reefs everywhere, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of a new world, if there are enough years of precipitation, how can it be so barren?"

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiqiu sped up and flew to the destination, the Bayun Mountain where the hydra god Xiangliu was located. How high is the mountain, the elevation of the main peak is roughly estimated to be only more than 100 zhang, it is shrouded in water vapor and smoke clouds that connect the sky and the ground, and the appearance of clusters of the ground, as if the eight-petal lotus flower opens outward, so it is called Bayun Mountain by the natives.

Ye Zhiqiu looked down at the ground and found that in a high ground surrounded by four rivers, there was a thousand-level town, with wooden stakes and thorns as walls to resist hungry beasts that haunted the wild at night.

He saw that the popularity of this town was quite prosperous, and he couldn't help but nod slightly. Of course, many of them were shackled slaves, who did the hardest and most arduous work to support their high masters.

"Black and white humane numbers, three white, six black and one gray, two slaves to support a resident, responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are not enough manpower, it looks a little tight, and it should continue to plunder foreign wars. ”

Ye Zhiqiu watched for a long time, and really found a lot of new customs and customs, and recognized this place called "Izumo Country", and then he promised the hydra god Xiangliu that he would help regulate the qi, clarify yin and yang, and formulate order, so there was no delay, and the true spirit went straight into the underworld deep underground.

It felt like taking an elevator, pausing layer by layer for a short time, and then slowly descending, Ye Zhiqiu naturally knew that this was the embodiment of the chaos of the underworld, so he didn't pay attention to it until his true spirit landed on the surface of the underworld.

Ye Zhiqiu raised his head and saw the gray sky, densely covered with leaden gray clouds, between the gaps in the clouds, the indigenous souls from the ground fell, if they were not sheltered, or they were contaminated with miasma and ghosts, and became ghostly desolate souls, the end would be to continue to disintegrate and shatter, and countless fragments fell one after another, nourishing and strengthening the underworld heritage of this heaven and earth bit by bit.

"Is there such a bloody process in the newborn heaven and earth? Is the underworld precipitated by the souls of countless living beings? As the reflection of the yang world on the ground, will the blurred boundary between yin and yang lead to the resurrection of the dead ancients again? If it is true, isn't it immortality in disguise?"

At this moment, Ye Zhiqiu's heart was full of all kinds of questions, after all, when he came to a strange new world, there were too many new things to browse quickly in his heart.

However, these are small things, so let's put them aside for now. Ye Zhiqiu settled down and walked towards the underworld area corresponding to the Izumo Country on the ground.

After all, the disaster of the flood is the "ancient demon god", mortals are blessed with one heart, can make waves and drown people, can also regulate the atmosphere of the Sichuan forest, and ensure that the water and soil are smooth, so the underworld of the "Izumo Country" on the ground is only a fifty-zhang high black mountain, and the mountain is full of skeletons and zombies, just like melting molten iron poured on a pile of corpses, and after cooling, it forms a one-piece creation.

Between the folds of the rocks, there are small distorted faces everywhere, hideous expressions, and a certain pain that is difficult to describe in words, which makes people impressed at a glance and unforgettable for the rest of their lives.

Ye Zhiqiu walked forward without fear, smelled a faint smell of decay, looked up at the sky, and sent a signal to the hydra god Xiangliu to be in place.

Then, a crack broke through the sky, and a sacred pillar of light fell from the ground of the sun, about the thickness of the hug, shining on the main peak of the Black Mountain, and the rocks inlaid with skeletons and zombies disintegrated and shattered at a speed visible to the eye.

Immediately after, the zombies and skeletons regained their freedom, spontaneously rolled down, and began to wander aimlessly on the ground, as time passed, the rotten flesh and blood on the zombies fell off, and gradually turned into skeletons, and the skeletons were constantly consumed, collapsing into countless pieces.

Ye Zhiqiu just glanced at it curiously, then collected his mind, looked for a relatively clean place to sit cross-legged, the immortal spirit was like a peacock opening the screen, scattering a light flame with a diameter of three feet outward, constantly digging and cutting down the corner foundation of the Black Mountain.

The laws of the underworld outside the heavens were extremely chaotic, and there was nothing he could do about Ye Zhiqiu's immortal true spirit, and in turn, he analyzed the roots, and condensed a silver black seal in the palms of his hands, and the "door" of iron painting silver hooks.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Zhiqiu stretched out his hands and pressed them on the ground on both sides of his body, as if he was fishing with a bait, as if he was grasping a treasure in the depths of the underworld, and his five fingers were curled and grasped, slowly lifting up.

In a trance, two pillars with thick bowl mouths rose beside Ye Zhiqiu, gray and silver, with strange patterns engraved on them, which did not look like familiar words at all.

"Open the road of life and death with both hands, and cut the root of the dust with one sword. This road seems to be a door, distinguishing yin and yang. Open ......!"

With Ye Zhiqiu's order, the two pillars continued to rise, crossing the black mountain full of skeleton zombies, and even piercing through the cloudy sky and rising to the ground of the Yang World.

The feat of penetrating the boundary of yin and yang, Ye Zhiqiu was not without a price, the immortal mana brought by his trip was consumed and landed at a visible speed with his eyes, and he paid silently, and the reward in exchange for it soon appeared.

The disaster of the flood Xiangliu can also be regarded as an "ancient god", and when he saw Ye Zhiqiu's methods, he knew the benefits and disadvantages of the immortals, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"The three pillars of heaven, earth and man, the three pillars of the past, the present and the future, the art of Liuhe, can determine the four directions of heaven and earth, and the universe is desolate. The great sage of our clan only erects a human pillar, swears an oath with humanity, and becomes a saint with merit. How big is this kid, how dare he set up a pillar in the underworld...... No, it should be the pillar of life and death of the three small pillars! The immortal who has attained the Tao is so terrifying, this son should not be underestimated!"

Ye Zhiqiu made a big move in the underworld, and at the foot of Bayun Mountain on the ground, two white wooden pillars were erected, one zhang two feet nine minutes and six centimeters high, and two more beams appeared on the top of it out of thin air, and the shape was like a simple merit archway.

However, in Ye Zhiqiu's view, he had a vague impression, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized the relevant memories of his previous life: "Isn't this the torii?"

Xiang Liu was extremely enthusiastic about the pillar of life and death attached to the "earth pillar", and he never thought that the immortal who called a Taoist friend out of politeness would dare to open up the road of life and death alone, and take the souls of the dead in the sun into the netherworld.

"I estimate that this son must consume a lot of immortal mana, maybe to the point where the oil runs out. Because of Niangniang's law, I can't do anything to him, and I have to carefully protect this son. After all, this move is conducive to our clan gaining a firm foothold, and cooperation will benefit both sides, and division will cause two harms. ”

As a result, Soyanagi immediately conveyed the God's decree to the people of Izumo who were under his protection, and that the gods they believed in had carved out a blessed land in the underworld, so that they could enjoy a safe and prosperous life even after death, without worrying about being infected with miasma and becoming a desolate spirit, dying at the hands of tribal samurai or city-state Aragami.

With the release of Aiyanagi's oracle, it was natural that there were native witch festivals in Izumo Province who got a glimpse of the truth, and as they spread it in the city, it soon became popular in the hearts of the people, including the many hard-working slaves and the untouchables who had just gained their freedom after accumulating merits.

The pillar of life and death, which was originally looming between the illusory shadow and the entity, suddenly stabilized, and had a real existence on the ground of the yang world, and displayed a unique power and power.

At the same time, Ye Zhiqiu, who stayed in the underworld, found that with the opening of the road of life and death, the chaotic laws of the underworld began to turn into order, and the underworld sky full of thick clouds was blown by a gust of green wind, revealing the truth full of cracks.

However, the gaps in the law are being quickly bridged, and it is obvious that Ye Zhiqiu's move is really to fill in the gaps and help the outer heavens complete the unfinished evolution.

The merits of heaven and earth fell like a shower, and most of the points of light like ears of grain fell on Ye Zhiqiu's body, and the immortal Dao mana consumed by opening up the path of life and death before quickly recovered.

The rest of the merit light fell on the Underworld Black Mountain corresponding to Izumo Province, a mountain about fifty zhang high, and the speed of disintegration immediately accelerated.

The natives, who were full of resentment and hatred, spontaneously gathered after gaining freedom, and passed through this gate one after another, entering the blessed land of "Yakumo Mountain" opened up by Xiangliu.

Ye Zhiqiu looked at the blessed land that exposed the tip of the iceberg, and couldn't help but his eyebrows jumped slightly, he was fortunate to witness the process of the Hundred Divine Divine Monarch opening up the Kingdom of God, and exclaimed at the moment.

"This is the prototype of the Cave Heaven! The ancient god Xiangliu is really a big deal. Ben Dao has to say admiration, admiration!"
