However, when the four of them walked deeper into the fault for a while, they found that the situation inside the fault was far stranger than they had thought.

First of all, Ah Lu, she saw many runes carved on the stone wall through the light of Dong Junqin's faint palm. The runes flickered in the firelight, as if they were embedded with gold.

However, when the others heard the sound, they didn't notice any carvings. It wasn't until Dong Junqin touched the rock wall that he felt something carved on the rock wall from the touch of his fingertips.

Nangong Lu also touched the rock wall after Dong Junqin, and then said to Ah Lu: "Ah Lu, I found out how you can always see things that we can't see?"

Ryu: "How do I know?" Maybe Ah Yun's body is more special?"

At this time, Dabao, who was walking in the front, also shouted: "How come there is a sunset village here?"

When the three of them heard the sound, they stepped forward and saw a stone like a stone monument standing on the ground, which was engraved with the same three words "Rixi Village" on the wooden sign at the entrance of Xicun Village on the shore.

What does this mean? Is it a branch of this day-and-night village?

This so-called underwater fault was originally spoken out of Emperor Cong's mouth, so everyone looked at him. However, at this moment, Di Yu was also full of doubts. Dabao sighed: "Don't look at him, he doesn't know what this thing is." ”

Dong Junqin: "Emperor Yu, have you ever seen any underwater faults with your own eyes?"

Di Yu nodded: "Of course I have seen it." The underwater fault I am talking about is like now, it is a very special space, obviously underwater, but the cave ** part is almost the same as on land, and water cannot enter it, as if there is an enchantment.

But I have never seen an underwater fault with runes and stone inscriptions like this. Or maybe there is, but I don't see them like Miss Alu. ”

Di Yu cast a strange look like Ah Lu, and saw that Ah Lu was a little aggrieved, and couldn't help muttering: "How do you say it, it seems that I hid those runes so that people don't look ......"

Dong Junqin: "This kind of underwater fault doesn't even know how the Yang God came about, and now there are rune stone carvings that are nothing, and the world is so big." Anyway, let's move on and see what this underwater village looks like. ”

Everyone skipped the stone tablet and continued to walk towards Li, but they didn't know if it was Emperor Yu's unclear words, and Ah Lu gradually felt that he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this place.

It's not the familiarity of a place I've been there, it's like I've seen something like that somewhere.

Ah Lu touched the rock wall and slowly walked forward with them, and then some broken words gradually sounded in his ears.

"Ghost City......" Lu murmured softly.

Dong Junqin turned around when he heard this: "Ah Lu, what did you just say?"

Ah Lu looked up blankly, looked at them and said, "Ghost City...... The ghost market ...... more than 300 years ago"

Nangong Lu: "What does this have to do with the ghost market?"

Alu: "More than 300 years ago, Luozhou entered the ghost market, and the street scene of the ghost market was the same as that of Luozhou. ”

Nangong Lu: "Huh, what do you mean?"

As soon as Nangong Lu asked, the rock wall around him suddenly disappeared, and the original darkness had a dim light.

It's just that the light is not daylight, nor is it as fiery red as Dong Junqin's palms, but a faint blue light, like ghost fire.

The four of them looked around again, and in front of them was a place exactly like Rixi Village, but although the scenery of the houses was the same, the people walking around were far inferior to the water.

Seeing this, Dong Junqin probably guessed what Alu Fangcai meant: "This is ...... Another entrance to the Netherworld?"

Dabao: "What Netherworld? Are we dead?" Young Master, don't scare me, it's impossible!"

Dong Junqin thought again, nodded half-loudly and said: "It is very likely, you see, the entrance of the ghost market in Luozhou is underwater, and the entrance of Wushan Netherworld seems to be in the valley, but in fact, it is shrouded in dense fog all year round, and to put it bluntly, it is also underwater. And this may be the third existing portal to the netherworld in the world. ”

Di Yu seemed to have encountered this kind of thing for the first time, he opened his mouth slightly, and said that it was impossible.

Alu: "Why is it impossible? I think Dong Junqin is quite right. And the atmosphere here gives me a feeling very similar to the ghost market of Luozhou. ”

Di Yu shook his head: "In the first few years when the mortal realm was established, in order to allow the soul to adapt, the various entrances to the netherworld were indeed built in the same way as the yang world where they were located. But I remember...... Almost a hundred years later, the Netherworld entrance no longer changes with the Yang Realm. Moreover, whether it is a ghost market or a ghost market, its entrance is not necessarily set underwater, and the law you think is just a coincidence. Or to put it another way, water is everywhere, so every entrance site can't be avoided. It wasn't deliberately chosen underwater. Moreover, there are no more than ten Nether Entrances, and none of these ten places are close to the floating sea. And, this place ...... This place...... Yin Qi ......"

Di Yu paused in the middle of speaking, his eyes seemed to be staring at something, and slowly moved into the depths. Then he looked back at Ah Lu and asked, "Are you...... Did you just see that?"

Alu opened his mouth and nodded blankly.

But Dong Junqin, Nangong Lu and Dabao didn't see anything.

Di Yu pointed ahead: "Someone approached just now. But judging by the way he dresses, it doesn't seem to be ...... It's not like it's coming down from above. No, no, no, I mean he's dressed in style, looks a little old......"

"Huh?" The three of them were puzzled at the same time, and Dabao trembled even more with fear, "What, what's a little old, don't scare me." ”

At this time, Ah Lu took a deep breath: "A ghost floated in just now, and the style of the clothes is probably a ghost from a hundred years ago. ”

Dabao: "Emperor Yu, didn't you say that this can't be some ghost city or some netherworld?"

Di Yu: "Yes! But here...... Maybe somewhere else. ”

At this time, Nangong Lu also spoke: "The rumor I just said is that after dusk and sunset, the people of Rixi Village will turn back into fish and return to the sea. Look at it again, isn't it just ......"

Isn't that ...... Back to Rixi Village in the sea?

After the four of them came to such a conclusion, they froze in place. Knowing that there was the voice of the immortal platform Taoist outside, Nangong Lu took the lead in speaking: "That...... To go in or not to go in?"

Dong Junqin: "They have already touched the entrance of the cave, and if they don't enter, they have to enter." ”

Everyone took a deep breath and headed towards the village of Rixi in the sea.

If you want to say how weird the village is this day, the four of them walked a little way into the village and realized that it wasn't that weird. For Nangong Lu and Dabao, they couldn't see anything, and Dong Junqin could barely find a cloud of ghost fire when he opened the Heavenly Eye. Only Ah Lu and Di Yu saw a person, no, a ghost.

The four of them walked for a while, Ah Lu suddenly found something, she stopped for a while, and suddenly turned back happily: "Dong Junqin, I know what kind of place this is!"

Dong Junqin hummed and motioned for her to continue.

Ryu: "This is not the entrance to the Netherworld, this is the origin of Sunset Village. ”

Ah Lu's words, Dong Junqin didn't understand either: "Origin? Do you mean that the Rixi Village outside came from here?"

Ah Lu dragged them to a wooden house, and in a certain corner, Dong Junqin saw a clay pot: "Look at this! When we entered the village before, there was a family doing a funeral, do you remember?"

Nangong Yu: "Oh, remember. The deceased man was put in a small boat. ”

Ah Lu nodded: "Yes, but have you seen that later, the boat was pushed into the sea, and after a few floats, someone on the shore shot a burning arrow, and the arrow smashed a clay pot on the boat, and then the whole boat burned." ”

Di Yu: "Fire burial?"

Although Ah Lu didn't know what a fire burial was, he could roughly guess from the name: "I think this underwater village of Rixi is actually the residence of the deceased people in the village for a long time." I'm not sure, but you can tell that a lot of the ghosts here are dressed hundreds of years ago, and I guess there are even thousands of years old. ”

Di Yu nodded.

Now Dong Junqin and the three of them also understood. The so-called turn back into the fish back into the sea, its then deceased relatives return to this sea in another day and night village.

At this time, Dong Junqin remembered that many seaside villages have the habit of putting livestock into the sea at regular times to eat and even daily utensils, and this custom has a saying in addition to sacrificing to the sea god to keep them safe: many people who live by the sea believe that their ancestors came from the sea, and they are the creatures of the sea turned into humans, so they can survive by the sea. So after death they have to go back to the sea, which is the same as the meaning of most people going to the earth to be safe.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Ah Lu to say that the Rixi Village in the underwater fault is the origin of the Rixi Village outside.

Nangong Lu: "If you say that, there are no man-eating monsters here, right?"

Lu: "I'm looking for a ghost to ask?"

After speaking, Ah Lu really walked to the other place and spoke to a ghost fire. After a while, Dong Junqin saw that the ghost fire followed Ah Lu to the side of several people, and then turned into a fish under the "eyes of everyone".

Not to mention Nangong Lu and Dabao, even Dong Junqin himself was stunned. And what was even more amazing was that the fish actually spoke: "Ahh

All:......

Fish: "Hey, how did you get here, how can you see our Sunset Village?"

Dong Junqin: "Uh...... It's hard to put into words. ”

In this regard, the fish didn't ask much, just nodded.

Dong Junqin also added in order to relieve his defense: "We followed a crazy old man into the water, but later we lost it and accidentally crashed into this Rixi Village." ”

Fish: "Crazy old man?"

Everyone nodded.

Unexpectedly, when the fish heard this, he suddenly jumped up, and then quickly cut through the air and circled the village. Subsequently, a lot of fish, shrimp, crabs and other sea creatures appeared in the originally quiet and uninhabited underwater village.

Seeing this, the four of them were so frightened that they besieged the city, and Nangong Lu swallowed his saliva even more: "Is this to beat us?"

Unexpectedly, this group of fish swam in front of the four of them, looking them up and down, left and right, and finally the fish led by said: "You came down with a madman? Is it a madman with a scar on his face and one eye missing?"

Seeing the four nodding, the fish whispered one after another.

Seeing that they ignored people for a long time, Ah Lu couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Excuse me...... ...... is that madman?"

The leader Yu said: "That's the guard left by the Chongyun Divine Monarch for us. ”

Ah Lu was shocked: "Chongyun, do you know Chongyun?"

The fish collectively hummed, and then the fish led by him said, "He helped us build this Rixi Village." Once upon a time, really, really, long, long time ago, there was a boulder on the surface of the water in this ocean. This boulder will attract the souls of the dead buried at sea, and we will not be able to rest in peace. Later, this Chongyun Divine Monarch came, and he smashed the boulder to find this place for us, and built the Rixi Village as you see it now. ”

Di Yu: "Didn't you say that there were monsters on that boulder, and they would come ashore to eat people from time to time?"

The fish thought for a moment and shook his head: "As far as I know, there are no cannibals...... It's just that some of the revenants have a relatively high energy, and sometimes they will escape from the boulder and return to the village to find their relatives and descendants to help, but ...... I remember that the village organized several operations, but unfortunately they couldn't find it. ”

Di Yu: "But don't you dead souls know where the boulder is?"

Yu said: "Yes, we know. But ordinary people can't see us. Oh, by the way, the monster you mentioned eating people may have been at that time, and some dead souls possessed something in order to let the living see us, which made people misunderstand. ”

But if it's for this reason...... "But why didn't Emperor Yu send you to the Netherworld?"

Hearing this, the fish asked, "Is there any difference between us and the Nether?"

Di Yu: "The difference? can you only be reincarnated if you go to the Netherworld?"

Fish: "But we don't want to be reincarnated? ”

Emperor Yu: "The six reincarnations are the rules of heaven, you don't go to the netherworld......"

Di Yu looked at these dead fish one by one, and slowly couldn't say any more.

The fish in the lead shook his head: "What a heavenly rule." Do immortals also want to be reincarnated? Immortals don't die at all. And we run in this yin and yang, and we never do bad things, what does it matter. ”

Dong Junqin: "But after all, you are four people, and the yin qi is very heavy, and if you go to the yang world to stay with your family, won't it affect their bodies?"

The fish said, "Originally, it wouldn't." The place that Chongyun Divine Monarch found for us can absorb our yin qi. And we can incarnate, as long as we become a fish and follow the fishing net, we can naturally return to the sun. ”

Dong Junqin was embarrassed: "Fishing nets, you go up like this, aren't you afraid to cook and eat?"

Ah Lu patted him and said in a low voice: "He just said it, they are not heavy. Turning into a fish is just to get ashore smoothly. When they get ashore, they will be restored to a mass of spirits. ”

This...... Unheard.

Alu: "You just said that it wouldn't, but now it will affect the body of the living?"

The fish at the head nodded: "About three hundred years ago, a strange fish somehow appeared in the depths of this floating sea, huh...... It doesn't have to be a fish, it could be a youkai. This monster tried to come to us again and again, but to no avail. But we found that this monster destroyed the rocks here, and many of the later ghosts, their yin energy could not be absorbed by the rocks, so they could not go ashore. ”

Then another fish stepped forward: "You just said that you came down with that madman." Since it's the one chosen by the old spot, there should be a way to deal with that monster, right?"

When the four of them heard this, they suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate. Could it be that the madman's ramblings and intimidation were meant to test their guts? Or was it deliberately lured them down?
