Chapter 251: Huangquantai
In the dark underworld, the undulating mountains stretch endlessly. It's just that in the ghost domain, the ghost fire flickered around the mountains like a night light, and it wasn't terrifying from a distance. It's like a quiet night in the countryside.
However, when you look closer, it is not quiet in the woods. Instead, it whistled and almost screamed. The silver wolf howled, startling a group of scavenging ravens.
A river twists and turns like a silver streamer between the mountains, and in a wide valley there is an island facing the water on all sides. On top of this huge island, there is a platform that seems to have been artificially cut off from the mountain.
On the top of a hill not far from the riverbank, several vague figures descended from the sky. On closer inspection, a figure was followed by eight figures carrying a sedan chair.
"My lord, the Huangquan Terrace in the Ghost Domain is in front, please tell me whether to go directly or walk there. ”
A big man figure immediately saluted the sedan chair and said, this big man is Su Kui, the eight ghosts behind him carrying the sedan chair and Han Cong sitting in the sedan chair. Along the way, although there were occasional encounters with meditation, most of them were swept away by divine sense, and there would not be many people who could have fifth-order ghosts as ghost servants. There are also soul cultivators who attack Han Cong, but Han Cong's purple light suddenly appears, or a few colorful lotus flowers are released, which can make the other party retreat. Of course, there were several waves of unknown robbers who attacked Han Cong and Su Kui and the Eight Ghosts carrying a sedan chair, but the result became food for Su Kui and the Eight Ghosts. Now Han Cong also understands what the eight ghosts are doing with the sedan chair. This is a transportation mount that Jiewei spent a lot of money to build in the past. The eight ghosts around the sedan chair are dark puppets that have been refined and have no consciousness. Although they cannot be advanced, sucking geists can increase their attack, defense, and agility. It's like the Spirit Realm Flying Spirit Treasure is filled with spirit stones.
At this time, Han Cong replied slowly:
"Huangquantai! Let's walk over there!"
After Han Cong finished speaking, the figure immediately appeared outside the sedan chair, and then took a few steps forward to look at the mountain in the distance, where the island platform appeared and disappeared in the gray clouds. A big flag and wind banner floated lazily with the wind, although it was not clear to see the scene above, but the three words "Huangquantai" were faintly visible.
Huangquantai is a very important place under the Yama King of the Ghost Domain. According to legend, the nine netherworld realms, namely the Yin and Yang Realm, Nai He Bridge, Meng Po Pavilion, Huangquan Road, Hades Palace, Purgatory Prison, Huanyang Well, and Reincarnation Gate, are the places where the soul of a person must enter the underworld after death. Therefore, the underworld is also called the Nine Netherworlds. The so-called Netherworld refers to a Yin Jedi with a very strong underworld aura and a very heavy grievance. Not to mention that the living can't get close, even the monks of the underworld are not willing to set foot in these nine netherworld realms lightly. Because people with low cultivation in these nine places will enter into endless illusions, and their state of mind will fall into deep rebellion and they will not be able to extricate themselves.
After death, the body cannot support the soul and the soul leaves the body, and the soul that has lost its body is restricted by the laws of heaven and earth and involuntarily looks for a place where the evil aura is strong to keep the soul alive. And the Netherworld is often the gateway to the underworld. Ordinary living people cannot enter, but the soul is attracted to the underworld and irreversibly crosses the yin and yang, that is, the yin and yang realm, like an irreversible flood in the flood. There shouldn't be only one place in the Yin and Yang Realm, but the Law of the Yama King Underworld is to concentrate all the souls in one Yin and Yang Realm.
After the soul enters the Yin and Yang Realm, it is restricted by the laws of the underworld and goes to the Nai He Bridge. It looks like a small bridge over the River Styx, but it allows the soul to understand the causes and effects of life when passing through the bridge, wash away grievances and hatreds, and understand that he is dead. Then enter the Meng Po Pavilion and drink a bowl of Meng Po soup that will come to naught, no worries, no resentment, and no pain in the soul. Next, enter Huangquantai.
Huangquantai is like a checkpoint, and after being identified, you are driven into Huangquan Road. After the souls enter the Huangquan Road, most of the souls will go to the Hades Hall to report, and those who are unwilling or want the cultivators of the underworld will look for an opportunity to escape on the Huangquan Road, enter other places in the underworld and become wandering spirits, and absorb other wandering spirits to refine the underworld qi to cultivate. This is a cruel world where either you die or I die, and there are fewer than one in a thousand people who can absorb enough soul power to cultivate and enter the second order. With such survival of the fittest, climbing layer by layer, the process of meditation cultivation is more brutal than any other cultivation method. There are countless of the same kind that they hunt, and if they are not careful, they will become other people's cultivation resources, and in this way, until they are accepted by the Underworld Cultivation Realm after the third order and choose the direction of cultivation. Only then can you embark on the true path of meditation.
And the people who enter the Hades Palace, they are basically honest souls, after a period of intimidation in the Hades Palace, the judge made a random stroke, and most of them went to the purgatory prison to stay, and the Yangjing is an outlier, and there are very few who can return to the Yang world. Some stayed for a short time before being driven to the reincarnation gate to be reincarnated, while others stayed in purgatory for a long time. Souls that have endured torture can naturally gather spiritual energy to cultivate soul power and step into the path of spiritual cultivation. Some of them are scattered between dead and alive.
Han Cong thought of this and no longer hesitated, and immediately took empty steps and walked towards Huangquantai. Now Han Cong has somewhat figured out that the reason why he was able to conceal the laws of heaven and earth in the underworld was that the strong attack power of the divine sense was a major reason, but the Nine Shades Purple Soul Robe given to him by the princess of the Demon Realm on his body was the key. This robe protected Han Cong's body and soul several times when he was in danger. There are also a few times when I want to destroy it because it was a gift from the princess of the demon world. But Han Cong was reluctant. In Han Cong's heart, the concept of the monk realm is not strong, and he does not have a great sense of responsibility for the true martial spirit realm, so he is not a fighter who denies the monks of the outside world. Therefore, he can be recognized by others in different realms.
In the underworld, Han Cong's spiritual power pass guò Nine Shades Purple Soul Robe emitted purple light, which was very similar to the high-level Shura of the underworld, and was mistaken for a high-level Shura. In addition, his divine sense attack power was mistaken for the legendary Nine Lotus faction, so Han Cong walked smoothly from Purple Moon Lake to Fengdu City and then to Huangquantai.
Han Cong followed the dragon's breath into the Huangquan Terrace, and did not see any black and white impermanence, but there was a scream of a ghost crying wolf. There are ghost pawns with swords, guns, swords and halberds that keep beckoning to the soul, and every time it falls, the soul will let out a howl of pain, and the figure will leave a mark.
"Stop, this is the Yellow Spring Terrace, the important land of the Ghost Domain. Please present your ID. ”
Han Cong and Su Kui showed their documents at the same time. Han Cong used the soul power of the bloody lone wolf to engrave his body consciousness. A ghost pawn took the identity documents of the two and swiped them lightly across a stone tablet. As soon as it was normal, Han Cong was also relieved. Of course, the fifth-order ghosts and the seventh-order blood demons were not second-order cultivators, and they could provoke them. One of the third-order ghost pawn captains took Han Cong's two identity credentials and immediately said respectfully to Han Cong:
"My lord, according to the regulations of Emperor Yama, the meditation to enter the Huangquan Terrace requires a payment of ten Immortal Stones per person. Although the adults don't care about a few dark stones, the small ones have a meagre income, so please be considerate of the adults. ”
Han Cong didn't have many dark stones on his body, but there were quite a few. Thinking that in the cave of the Black Shining Star Immortal Beast in the Styx Valley, there were many high-grade Immortal Stones, and Han Cong took some. Tong Guò's recent understanding of the underworld, the conversion value of the spirit stone and the spirit stone of the true martial spirit world is about the same. Therefore, Han Cong casually picked out a small piece of the best spirit stone from the storage ring and threw it to the ghost pawn captain.
The captain of the ghost pawn took it and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly realized that there were many pairs of eyes at the door looking this way, and he immediately took the dark stone in his hand into his arms and shouted around:
"What are the bunnies looking at, don't you see the deity on official business? If you look at it again, Lao Tzu will send you to hell one by one. Ah, two adults, please follow the little one. ”
After the captain of the ghost pawn finished speaking, he immediately dodged and led Han Cong and the others into the ear door on the side of the gate to enter. Han Cong and Shu Kui followed the captain of the ghost pawns into a room similar to the rest and shift of the ghost pawns, and then continued:
"Adults are going to Huangquantai to buy ghosts! The small ones have a way for adults to choose the best ghosts, and they can get a 20% discount. ”
Han Cong immediately understood that the so-called living ghosts were souls with memories of their previous lives. It is impossible for mortal ghosts without cultivation to leave memories. Only monks who are strong-willed and have a certain period of attainment will have the possibility to pass through the Nai He Bridge and Meng Po Pavilion and leave memories of their past lives. It's called a ghost. When a living ghost is cultivated into a ghost, it will stimulate the maximum potential of the soul because of its vigorous resistance. The living ghosts that have been refined will also be as painful as peeling off their skins, and finally become soul power and be absorbed by meditation. I heard Lu Jian say that except for a few of his pioneer battalion sergeants who had cultivated and became contemplative cultivators, the rest were stolen or bought from the ghost market in Huangquantai. Han Cong was not familiar with the army of the Warcraft Island Monk Alliance, but he could buy it and give it to Lu Jian. The main purpose of coming to Han Cong this time was the soul of the Dragon Soul Warrior, since there was a living soul here, with the heart of the Dragon Soul Warrior, it must be in this living soul.
Han Cong didn't have time to think about it, and then said to the ghost pawn captain:
"Yes, I do want to buy a batch of living souls to refine the ghost golems. Since the captain has a way, I don't bother to go outside to look for the ghost. As long as I choose the best, your benefits are indispensable. ”
After Han Cong finished speaking, he threw out a small piece of the best spirit stone. And intentionally emit a purple circle of light. The so-called captain of the ghost pawn was surprised and delighted, and immediately laughed:
"Great, my lord, don't worry, Feng Xuan can still do this little thing in Huangquantai. Recently, all the adults have been busy preparing for the major events of the Shura King City, so no one has come to Huangquantai. Our adults are preparing a batch of good goods, and the keepers are satisfied, my lord, please follow me, let's go directly to the hall of Huangquan Center. ”
Immediately, Han Cong and Shu Kui followed Xuan out of the gatehouse and walked into Huangquantai. As the platform walked by, from time to time, some ghosts looked sideways and greeted Feng Xuan, and some glanced at it. And countless geyers cried and howled, or their faces were hideous, or they were covered with blood and tears. Or teeth and claws, or cloak and spread. Han Cong boldly let go of his divine sense to cover the entire Huangquan Terrace, and there were actually three dragons here. And point to the same place. Instead, Feng Xuan happened to take him and Shu Kui there.
