Chapter 465: Oriental Nine Springs
The minotaur took Su Ji in his arms, turned around and paced in the opposite direction.
Su Ji couldn't break free from the chains, only felt that his body was sandwiched between two soft things, and suddenly realized that the minotaur turned out to be a woman.
"Where are you taking me?"
The minotaur replied, "Three talented roads." ”
Listening to her voice, Su Ji couldn't help but stretch her neck, looking down at her figure and steps, feeling more and more like a person.
The Minotaur carried Su Ji through the coming and going of the souls, and returned to the fork in the road with the sun, moon, and stars.
Su Ji must be here on Sancai Road.
"In ancient times, there were three emperors: Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Shennong, and Emperor Nuwa, who ruled over all living beings in the yang world and divided the underworld into three regions. The three roads on Huangquan Road, namely Xingdi Road, Yueren Road, and Ritian Road, lead to three different areas of the underworld. ”
"Three?" Su Ji was surprised.
"The underworld is vast and boundless, not only limited to the Netherworld in the Western Capital, but also the Nine Springs in the East that I am about to take you to. ”
The Minotaur led Su Ji into the path marked with the word "moon".
Su Ji muttered: "The 'Xingdi Road' I walked before leads to Xudu, and this 'Moon Man Road' leads to Jiuquan, so where does the rest of the 'Ritian Road' lead?"
The minotaur shook his head and said, "I'm a newcomer like you, and I don't know the situation here, but I only heard that the 'Ritian Road' is in charge of Taihao Fuxi." ”
Su Ji heard that the legendary Fuxi is the emperor of the three emperors, the place where he is in charge of the heavenly machine, and the so-called "Ritian Road" can be imagined, it is a magical heavenly road.
The minotaur walked down the dark road, and a little light appeared at the end of the road.
"Chase him!"
With a vicious shout, a group of fierce yakshas, armed with iron forks, chased after them from behind.
Su Ji hurriedly said: "Run! That's the ghost pawn sent by the King of Hades to chase me!"
The exit of the Moonman Road was close at hand, and the Minotaur walked slowly and methodically towards the end of the road.
Su Ji blends into the white light, and what comes into view is a completely different world.
There the yin and yang are reversed, the sky above is a dirty and chaotic black, and the ground beneath your feet is a clean and bright white. The pure white ground, like an ancient bronze mirror, can see clear shadows.
Su Ji turned his head to look, only to see the blazing Yakshas, who stopped at the end of the Moon Man Road, and did not dare to take another half step forward, as if there was a cliff in front of them.
"Stop, don't run!" shouted a yaksha with his nostrils facing the sky.
A yaksha with two wings sharply threatened, "If you dare to take another step, you will be the enemy of the king of Yamamara!
Despite the shouts behind him, the Minotaur always turned a deaf ear, hugged Su Ji, and left without looking back.
Su Ji asked curiously, "Why don't those Yaksha dare to catch up?"
Niutou said: "Jiuquan is the territory guarded by the Emperor Dongyue, and if the ghosts of the capital dare to break in, they will be beaten into the Eight Cold Hells." ”
"I've only heard of the eighteen hells of the Netherworld, what are the eight cold hells?"
"It is the execution ground of Jiuquan, the place where the souls of the dead who have been punished for their sins in life. You'll see it soon. ”
After a while, the roaring cold wind blew in his face, and although Su Ji was covered with feathers, he was still shivering from the cold.
The Eight Cold Hell is located in the midst of a raging blizzard. The snowflakes falling in the sky were not white, but dirty dark brown. Snowflakes fall on the ground and melt to form pure white ice crystals.
Su Ji's eyes were full of glaciers and snow-capped mountains, thinking back to the time when he was in the mortal world, it was unbearable to stay outside for a moment without clothes in winter, let alone being born in this eight cold hells?
The sky was covered with black snow, and the souls of the dead in a long line were pulled by an invisible force and drowned in the ice and snow. All the dead souls had no clothes to wear, and one by one they were naked on the glacier snow, blistering all over their bodies, flowing with pus and blood, and they could not survive or die.
At this moment, the minotaur took off his black bull hood, revealing an expressionless woman's face.
Su Ji closed his eyes slightly, thinking that he had guessed well just now, the minotaur in front of him was none other than Li Rumei, who was killed by the Western leader outside the pickaxe capital.
Not long ago, Su Ji personally helped her corpse close her eyes, and she couldn't imagine that she would meet again in the underworld so soon. However, Li Rumei in front of her and the "No. 1 wolf prostitute in the world" she saw before her death were like two people, and Su Ji didn't feel a trace of slut temperament at all. Maybe only death can make such a huge change in a woman, maybe this is the truest appearance of this woman in her bones, maybe things are not as complicated as Su Ji imagined, but no matter how lewd a woman is, she will not be interested in a little bird.
Su Ji couldn't guess this woman, and she didn't know why she was wearing a black bull hood?
"Who the hell are you?"
Li Rumei said as she walked: "There is a Li clan in the Xirong layer with a fox as a totem. The men in the clan are good at channeling, and the women are ageless. The ancestors of the Li clan were the first to cultivate the Blue Spirit Nightmare Technique, so they were brilliant for a while. It was not until later that the Li clan was annihilated by the army led by Shenhou Jiang Xuan. Since I was a child, I have heard the clansmen say that all the clansmen of the Li clan will become ghosts of Jiuquan after death. ”
Su Ji couldn't help but recall the past events of his life, the former fox master Moshu and his own Qing Ling Nightmare Technique were both passed down by Li Rumei, presumably this woman was the last descendant of the Li clan. Now she can finally be reunited with the people under the Nine Springs.
Then he went deeper and deeper into the Eight Cold Hells, and the situation that Su Ji saw became more and more miserable. The souls in front can still cry, and when they reach the souls in the back, they can only make a moaning sound of "chirp", and even the faint moans are broken in the back. The souls of the dead at the end will not only be tortured by the cold, but also be bitten by the iron-billed insects crawling into the frozen wounds on their bodies.
Su Ji looked directly at the tragic situation of those dead souls, and found that there was a ghost pawn with a black bull hood standing next to each of the suffering souls, and there was a bronze tripod next to it.
"What do those big and small copper tripods do?"
Li Rumei replied: "The more serious the sins committed by the soul of the dead during his lifetime, the bigger the copper tripod will be beside him. Each copper tripod is filled with sesame seeds, and a sesame seed is taken out every 100 years, until all the sesame seeds in the tripod are taken out, and the debt of the dead soul is paid off. ”
Su Ji was shocked and said, "What are you bringing me here for?"
"I'll take you to meet the totem of the Li clan. Li Rumei carried Su Ji out of the Eight Cold Hell and came to a cave in the middle of the snowy mountain.
Seeing the fox totem outside the cave, Su Ji's eyes were suddenly stunned, and his heart sank.
Li Rumei said lightly: "You guessed right, the totem of the Li clan is Qingli." ”
