Chapter 13: The First Entry into the Land of the Dead
The bumps along the way made me gradually sleepy, and I just wanted to sleep on the white tiger, but the white tiger was shocked, "Roar-" A miserable scream lost his strength, and fell straight down, Wen Lin was also awakened, "Hold on to the white tiger!" He instantly sobered up and said to me calmly.
"What's wrong with the white tiger?" I grabbed the white tiger, "Will we die if we fall so high?" Falling straight down from such a high place, I closed my eyes tightly, not daring to look down, only feeling the wind quickly passing across my face.
"Bang!" the three of us landed at the same time, "Ah...... It hurts, am I dead?" I sat up from the ground and looked at the darkness around me, "Wen Lin! Wen Lin, are you still alive?"
"I'm fine. I watched as a dark figure next to me slowly stood up.
"Where is this? It's so dark, we're all going to fall to our deaths, are we?" I asked worriedly.
"Shut up, the White Tiger told me that this place is very close to the Land of the Undead, and that it has been attacked, but it is light, like a warning, probably by the demon soldiers stationed here. Wen Lin walked over and pulled me up, "If it's okay, let's move forward slowly." ”
"Where are you going to go so dark?"
"Follow the white tiger, it knows the way. After saying that, Wen Lin walked forward, and I hurried to follow, it is not a good thing to be alone in such a dark place.
The ground was rough and soft, and walking on it was a bit like walking on a dirt road after rain. I don't know how long I walked, Wen Lin suddenly stopped, "It's here." ”
"To ...... Where's it?" I looked at the darkness in front of me, and was a little scared.
"Take a closer look. ”
I rubbed my eyes and vaguely saw something like a door not far ahead, "Is that a door?"
"Well, that's the Gate of the Dead, let's go. After Wen Lin finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.
"No...... Wouldn't it be dangerous?"
"Then you can stay here by yourself. Wen Lin had no intention of turning back, so I had to hurry up.
"Who dares to trespass in the Land of the Dead?" a distant and eerie voice came from the direction of the door, but the darkness around it receded somewhat, and the door of the dead emitted a faint light.
"Ah...... Grandpa Demon King, Grandpa Demon King, I didn't mean to come over, sorry to bother...... "I turned my head and wanted to leave.
"Shut up!" Wen Lin turned back to me and said, "The Demon King is above, Wen Lin, a descendant of Tianzun, and Liu Xi, a descendant of Lingzun, have come to visit the Demon King. ”
"Descendants of Tianzun, descendants of Lingzun? Hahaha, aren't they all dead? Where did you come from?"
"The white tiger is proof!" Wen Lin put his hand on the white tiger's head.
"Heh, White Tiger, try these first. As soon as the Demon King said that, he saw something crawling out of the door, "It's a Demon Gu!" Wen Lin shouted, "Liu Xi, be careful!"
I didn't have time to react, I saw a palm-sized black shadow flying towards my face, I subconsciously stretched out my hands and hit the black shadow, but unexpectedly missed, "Ahhhhh
"Ahh
There was a voice in his ears, "The ninth descendant of Lingzun has come to visit the demon king, who dares to be disrespectful?" was the voice of the mask.
"Hahaha, it turns out that it is really a descendant of Lingzun, but what about this person who claims to be a descendant of Tianzun?"
"White Tiger, show him. Wen Lin called out to the white tiger, only to hear the white tiger let out an angry roar, and white light emitted all over his body, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"It turns out that the hope of this world is not dead. Hahaha, you two come in. The demon king said, the sky suddenly dawned, and the door just now was gone, but turned into a hole, and the hole was engraved with four words in red: Land of the Dead.
"Let's go. Wen Lin turned back to me and said. I didn't say anything and followed him into the cave.
It was a small hole, and there was a hole at the end of the hole, which emitted a warm white light.
"Mask, did you save me just now? What are those things?"
"I don't know what's going on, it's just that when the so-called demon Gu came to your face to hurt you, or it wasn't to hurt you, it just forced me out, I felt like I was pushed out of your body by something, and it wasn't you who pierced it just now, it was me, but the feelings of the two of us were connected, so you will feel pain, I feel pain, I want to use some ghost power to drive it away, but I can't control my power at all, like the power is sucked out, so I release a strong ghost power out, and those things are gone." 。 ”
Wen Lin said it was...... That's a demon Gu. ”
"That's not a demon Gu, it's just a little trick by the demon king to test you, if it's really a demon Gu, with my own strength, I can't get rid of them. ”
"Then is this demon king good or bad?"
"The demon world advocates peace and stability, and one of you is a descendant of Lingzun and a descendant of Tianzun, he will not be good. I was so tired just now, I'm going to rest, you can do it yourself. ”
"Hey, don't go, I'm scared. "But no matter how much I shouted in my heart, the mask stopped talking to me. "Damn! Death Mask. I couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"Huh?" the mask snorted as if threatening me, and I had to stop.
The cave was not deep, and we quickly came to the end and came to another cave, "Go out to the land of the dead, be careful." Wen Lin reminded me.
When I walked out of the cave, there was a dazzling burst of sunlight, and I couldn't open my eyes. "Is it dawn? Have we been in the cave that long?"
"It should have been dawn a long time ago, we just entered the enchantment of the demon world, blocking the sunlight outside. ”
"Where are we going to find the Demon King?"
"I don't know, maybe he's looking at us, he just doesn't want to show his face, let's go ahead and see. ”
I continued to walk with Wen Lin, this place was no different from the ordinary mountain scenery, even more lively than the outside, the road was covered with flowers and plants, there was a clear river in the distance, the water hit the stones in the river and made a crisp sound, and there were birds chirping in the trees around it, this is not so much a land of the dead as a place full of life.
"Why is this the Land of the Dead? There are so many living creatures here. I asked Wen Lin suspiciously.
"I don't know what's going on, what I've heard is that when the demon world hid here, the land of the dead was a place with a lot of grievances and no grass, I don't know what happened here after so long, maybe it was a long period of peace and stability that improved the environment here. Anyway, just be careful. ”
After entering the land of the undead, the white tiger has been very quiet, and it seems that there is no danger in estimating, so let's keep walking.
Wen Lin walked in front and suddenly stopped, "What's wrong?" I approached the place where he looked at him: the dense ants on the ground seemed to be moving, lined up in a neat formation, and they were carrying a bloody human head together - it looked like a man's head, his face was facing the sky, his flesh had begun to rot, his eyes seemed to have been dug out, leaving only two empty black holes, his mouth was wide open, as if he had been greatly frightened, and his hair was very long, dragging on the ground.
"This ...... What is this?" the sudden appearance of the human head scared me a little.
"Don't make a sound, back away. Wen Lin whispered.
We didn't look back, but slowly stepped back, staring at the ants, lest they find out that we would suddenly pounce on us and eat us.
After exiting about a dozen meters away, Wen Lin signaled me to stop, "That's a corpse ant, which specializes in transporting corpses, called the ants carrying corpses." If you have a lot of grievances, don't provoke them. ”
"Doesn't the demon world advocate peace?
"It's an ancient witchcraft, like a Nine Dragons carrying a coffin. However, the Nine Dragons carried the coffin in order to give the deceased a certain prestige in the underworld, and later became a form of sacrifice, while the ants carried the corpse was a vicious witchcraft to prevent the soul from ever being reincarnated, and the cruel punishment in the underworld was until the soul was broken. As for why there are these things, I don't know, I just know that if we disturb them carrying the corpses, it will soon be the two of us on them. ”
"Where is the underworld?
"The underworld is not a ghost world, but a place in the ghost world to adopt the souls of people after death. ”
"So what do we do now?"
"Wait for them to go, these things, if we can see the demon king alive, ask him again. ”
"What do you mean...... We might die halfway through?"
"I don't know, but now the Three Realms are in chaos, although this demon world is outside the Three Realms, I don't know if it will be safe, since no one cares about the corpses of these ants, I don't know what else will happen on the road behind. ”
"Boom-" A sudden voice rang out in my ears. "What is it?" Wen Lin and I both looked up.
"Be careful!" a pile of roots appeared above our heads, sharp roots stabbing at us. Wen Lin instantly threw me to the ground, and the white tiger also jumped over, Wen Lin lay on the ground and waved his hand, forming a transparent protective cover on top of us. The roots of the trees stabbed hard and were bounced back by the protective shield, but there were also large and small cracks in the protective cover.
"No, I can't stand it at all. Liu Xi, you see, when they are tied down and bounced away, we will get up and run towards the entrance of the cave, do you hear me!"
I was so frightened by the sudden attack that I just nodded vigorously.
After those roots were bounced away, they paused in the air for a while, as if they were accumulating strength, and then they fell heavily again, I subconsciously closed my eyes, only to hear the sound of glass breaking "bang" in my ears, "It's now, run!" Wen Lin pulled me up, I opened my eyes and ran quickly towards the hole.
A crack suddenly appeared under the flat road that I had just walked over, and there were many thick roots sticking out of it like the top of our heads, blocking our way back, "Ah-" I was stunned for a moment and panicked, "What should I do, Wen Lin?" I looked back at Wen Lin, who had already taken out his saber and began to chop the roots, but the white tiger was powerless and had already been tightly entangled by the roots, and only let out a muffled roar.
"Mask, don't sleep, come out and help me!" As soon as I turned around, I saw several thick roots flying towards me, instantly binding my hands and feet, unable to move, "Ahhhhh
"Liu Xi, don't move, there is a demon spirit in this tree, and the resentment is very strong, the more you struggle, the faster it will kill you. "Wen Lin is entangled by countless tree roots, and it is difficult to take care of me and the white tiger. "You hold on a little longer!" Wen Lin turned back to me and said, "Ahhh
"Uh...... It hurts. Wen Lin knelt on the ground and cut off the root of the tree that pierced his chest with his saber, and after being cut off this time, "Heh, do you have to force me?
"Mask! Mask! Wen Lin is seriously injured, wake up, only you can help him!" I shouted the mask inside myself, but I didn't get any response.
Wen Lin slammed his saber into the ground and stood up with difficulty, "How to train the dragon whip!" He stretched out his blood-stained hand, and a strong light enveloped him, "Heh, because of the chaos in the world, our sect was wiped out, and now I have come to visit the demon world, but I have also suffered such difficulties." I now swear that whoever threatens me will break the vows and die. After that, the wound on his chest spurted out a lot of blood, "cough ......" he waved the heavy whip, "White Tiger!" The white tiger let out a muffled roar, Wen Lin smashed the heavy whip that was swung into the air to the ground, and suddenly a gust of wind and sand was set off on the ground, Even if the white tiger was tightly bound, he tried his best to let out a roar that resounded through the sky, his pupils were hollow, and two white lights shot out, and the roots that bound the white tiger seemed to be stimulated by something, and soon they let go, and the roots that bound me also let go of me, "Do you want to see Tianzun's strength? Then take a look!" Wen Lin jumped and swung the heavy whip into the air, the heavy whip turned into a long sword in the strong light, and many tree roots just now dived into the ground, leaving only a thick dead tree on the side of the road, Wen Lin held a long sword in his hand and stabbed at the root of the dead tree, "Tianzun is the most holy, now I want to make the soul of this monster never be reborn!" At the same time, the trunk of the dead tree also turned into a grimace, opened its mouth, and stretched out a branch wrapped in black qi from it, stabbing towards Wen Lin.
For a while, the black qi and white light converged, and I couldn't open my eyes when the light pierced, and the black qi only struggled for a short time, and finally the white light was no longer the enemy, and it was instantly shrouded in the sword qi, shattered in the light, and then disappeared.
"Uh......" Wen Lin saw that the dead tree disappeared, and his strength disappeared for a while, and he fell from the air, and the white tiger's eyes also lost their light, and he fell to the side in a deflated manner.
"Wen Lin!" I quickly got up and tried to help Wen Lin, but before I could stand up, the road under my feet began to shake, and there were gravel rolling down the hillside next to me, and the crack that had just stretched out the roots of the tree not only did not disappear, but became larger, and suddenly, the mountain road collapsed.
"Ah...... Wen Lin!" My voice was drowned out in an instant by the sound of the mountain collapsing, and the three of us also fell, falling into the unknown darkness.
