Chapter Forty-Six: The Mirror Illusion
Yuan Bao and Master Li floated about four or five inches from the ground, following the huge underworld Yin soldiers along the Yin and Yang Road, heading south.
The endless Yin soldiers walked out in unison from the space where the water ripples fluctuated, their faces indifferent, and there was no change. In the eyes of these Yin soldiers, this place is no different from the underworld. As long as they are not disturbed by the peak yang energy, they are like soulless machines that have completed this journey.
The dense team, there was no footsteps at all, all the Yin soldiers and the demonic beasts of the underworld were suspended three or four feet on the ground, walking neatly with the faint light emitted by the Yin and Yang Road. There was not the slightest sound of footsteps, and the scene was extremely strange.
Master Li and Yuanbao's hands were tightly clasped together at some point. The palms of the two were already sweating, and in the face of such a huge army of Yin soldiers, let alone two fledgling teenagers, even the masters who had practiced for a hundred years couldn't help but be shocked. In case these Yin soldiers get irritable, they will bear the brunt of it.
The crisp and melodious sound of the bell came from the front of the procession, and all the souls of the Yin soldiers seemed to be intimidated by the bell, and they all walked forward with the sound of the bell.
Soon, Yuan Bao and Master Li followed the army of Yin soldiers to the end of the Yin and Yang Dao, which was more than ten miles long. But the line in front was still very long, very long, and the dark ghost path seemed to break through the space and pass through the underground.
Gradually, gradually...... About half an hour later, Yuan Bao and Li Shishi came to the ground with the army of Yin soldiers. How they managed to get out of the second floor of Luoshui City was not clear at all. A mysterious, oppressive feeling gripped the hearts of both of them.
At this moment, the two of them know, the world knows, the beings of the Three Realms, and what human beings have in their hands is only the tip of the iceberg.
Without the protection of Luoshui City's prohibition, under this mysterious abyss, a yin wind began to sweep by, and there was a slight agitation in the team, but when Zhao Wuregret in front of him quickly shook the soul snatching bell a few times, the restless yin soldiers began to gradually regain their calm.
If it weren't for the ghost clan treasures that have been inherited through the ages, such as the Soul Snatching Bell, to suppress these countless Yin soldiers, these Yin soldiers would have been out of array long ago.
At the bottom of the pitch-black abyss, only the yin and yang road of about three zhang under his feet shone with a faint light.
"The Yin soldiers borrow the way, and the Yang people avoid it. ”
About half an hour later, Yuan Bao and Master Li's hearts were anxious, this opportunity was only six hours, and as a result, it was delayed for nearly an hour on the road.
Yuan Bao held Master Li's hand and signaled her not to be nervous. Master Li turned his head slightly to look at this young man, the corners of his mouth moved, his willow eyebrows curled, and he smiled faintly like a spring breeze.
No one knew what she was laughing at, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Gradually, a little light appeared at the end of the darkness, and there were countless corpses on the ground around it, including human races, ghost clans, and Yin soldiers.
For many years, I didn't know that there were tens of thousands of corpses scattered on both sides of the Yin Yang Road.
Yuan Bao must have known in his heart that he had entered the range of Yin Spring.
He had never heard Master say that there was such a terrible place in the world, gathering the yin qi of Kyushu, the darkest place in the world. And it goes straight to the underworld.
In fact, Emperor Xuanyuan's construction of Luoshui City, one of the sixteen cities of the ghost clan, here was also very meaningful. The people of the ghost clan like cold places, and the heavier the yin qi, the more powerful the ghost people are.
To them, Yin Qi is equivalent to the moon and demon beasts.
Of course, Emperor Xuanyuan was afraid that Luoshui City would grow and threaten the human race, but there was really no way, this netherworld and secluded spring land must always be guarded, and ordinary humans could not get close to the abyss at all, so they could only rely on the ghost race.
The biggest mission of the ghost clan in Luoshui City is to lead the Yin soldiers in the passage and prevent the Yin soldiers from entering the world.
Although the yin qi of the underworld collided with the yin qi of the netherworld spring at this moment, and there was a short vacuum period, the ingots could still feel that as they got closer and closer to the location of the netherworld spring, their heartbeat became faster and faster, which was a chill from the depths of their souls.
Disgusting, weird, cold, all kinds of negative emotions began to appear, and in the darkness, countless yin spirits with flashing green eyes appeared floating in the air, and these yin spirits were the most afraid of the yin soldiers of the underworld, and they hid far away one by one, not daring to approach.
"The Yin soldiers borrow the way, and the Yang people avoid it!" Mu Zilin walked from the front team with the big rooster of Luhua, saw Yuan Bao and Master Li, and said in a low voice: "The front is the Yin Spring of the Yin World, the Yin soldiers in the front have already entered, you are careful, you take this big rooster with you, as long as the rooster crows three times, you must exit the Yin World Hidden Spring, remember, there is only one way to retreat, if you take the wrong road, you will enter the underworld, and you will not want to return to the world in this life." Even if you don't enter the underworld, as soon as the morning arrives tomorrow morning, the Netherworld Spring will be restored, and any creature within a radius of ten miles will be killed by the Yin Qi entering the body. ”
Yuan Bao said in a low voice: "Which way out." ”
Mu Zilin said: "I haven't been in yet, where do I know." However, according to ancient legends, if you want to exit from the Netherworld, you have to follow the flames. As for what kind of flame it is, only those who enter it can know with their own eyes. The entrance has arrived, so be careful. ”
The Netherworld Spring is full of ghosts, and you can feel an extremely fierce aura filling the surroundings from a distance, tens of thousands of Yin Spirits are floating around the Netherworld Spring, and the corpses are all over the field, most of them are the corpses of the Yin soldiers of the underworld, which have long been rotten after the vicissitudes of time.
After a while, Yuan Bao finally saw the location of the Netherworld Spring, in front of which were stalactites straight down from the dome of the Heavenly Abyss, huge and incomparable, standing left and right, like a wide giant door. Behind the giant gate, a faint red light appeared, and as it slowly approached, the red light became brighter and brighter, shooting out from an abyss under an unknown earth.
Hundreds of feet around are red, and here, it seems that only blood is eternal.
Zhao Wuregret stood at the giant gate, looked at Master Li and Yuan Bao who came over, and said: "The Yin and Yang Gate has been opened, you follow the Yin soldiers to enter, the Yin Qi of the Yin soldiers will protect you to enter the Yin Spring smoothly, when the rooster crows three times, whether you succeed or not, you must quit." ”
Yuan Bao nodded, showed a smile at Zhao Wuregret, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry!"
And how could Zhao Wuregret let go of his heart?
Yuan Bao and Master Li stepped into the mysterious giant gate, their bodies suddenly seemed to pass through a transparent wall of water, and their hearts and blood were also affected by an unknown force, beating rapidly.
Yuan Bao looked back, the way of origin was ethereal and vague, as if this door of life and death had disconnected the world and the underworld.
He held Master Li's hand tightly, and walked into the mysterious red light with most of the Yin soldiers.
As soon as they stepped into the red light, the mana of the two of them was all sealed, just like mortals, and their bodies seemed to have walked into the bottom of a sea of blood, and they could only see one or two rows of Yin soldiers in front of them.
These Yin soldiers did not have the control of the soul ring, they all regained their senses, and shouted bitterly, and a few Yin soldiers around them were stunned at first when they saw the two human beings, Yuan Bao and Master Li, and then raised the halberd in their hands and killed them.
The faces of Yuan and Li changed greatly, and they couldn't retreat a trace of true qi in this mysterious passage, so they could only draw their swords to fight.
A moment later, the passage of the Blood Sea changed uncertainly, and it turned into a colorful space.
Master Li shouted while swinging his sword against the Yin soldiers who rushed towards him: "After crossing the Rainbow Bridge, we have entered the underworld, and what we are looking for must be within the Rainbow Bridge, go." ”
The two fought and retreated, breaking away from the originally straight yin and yang path and integrating into this mysterious colorful space.
There are seven-colored streamers flowing around, like nine-day meteors, dense, just out of the Yin soldier team for less than three or four feet, you can no longer see the location of the Yin soldier.
Yuan Bao was taken aback by holding the big and said, "It's not good, we're lost." ”
They don't know the way, so why get lost. Without the interception of those Yin soldiers, the two began to look around and continued to walk forward.
Under his feet is a mirror-like ground, without the slightest seam, faintly reflecting the figures of the two.
Those seven-colored streamers lingered on the bodies of the two of them, like the fantasy scene of the legendary Xiuzhen Immortal Bai Yu ascending. At this moment, of course, the two of them did not have the heart to experience this mysterious spectacle.
According to legend, there are all kinds of gods above the nine heavens, and under the nine shadows is the place where the yin soul returns, the hall of Yama. To enter the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, you need to step on the Rainbow Bridge and take the dragon to ascend. And entering the underworld, it is also a rainbow bridge.
So the two of them just knew that this was the last mysterious road into the underworld, and this space did not belong to the human world, or to the underworld. It's the middle of two places.
Surrounded by a colorful mirror-like world, there are no roads, no living beings, and there is no so-called Sanzhang Mountain and fire in the fire. Some are just smooth ground with reflective colorful streamers.
Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and the hearts of the two were finally no longer calm, and they seemed a little anxious.
Yuan Bao said: "Such a blind search is definitely not a way, this space seems to be very large, the power of the two of us is suppressed by the mysterious power of the Rainbow Bridge, and it is impossible to fly the sword at all, I have a feeling that the soul chasing sword of Li Bad's predecessor was sealed in this vicinity three hundred years ago, and we must solve those two riddles first." ”
Master Li said: "Sanzhang Mountain, passing through the green mountains. Fire in the fire, eight-armed psychic heaven. I thought I'd find a clue when I entered here, but I didn't expect to find a clue at all. Are we in the wrong place?"
Yuan Bao shook his head and said: "The place will definitely not be wrong, when the old man Shangde said that at the bottom of the Yin Spring, Zhao Wuregret and Mu Zilin also said that if they want to go to the Zimu Soul Chasing Sword, they must come here, and now the riddle has not been solved." ”
When Yuan Bao talked about the old man Shangde, his heart suddenly moved, and he said, "Do you remember those words that the old man sang when he left?"
Master Li thought for a while and said, "It seems that the son and mother are going against the sky, and the sword immortal three smiles and the wind and rain stop." only sighs that the world is heavy on killing, and does not ask the common people to ask ghosts and gods. The eight-armed Heavenly Demon War God Fire, the Netherworld Spring and the Green Underworld. Sanzhang Mountain comes to Sanzhang Water, and eight worships and nine knocks show the true spirit. The Yin soldier is attached to the past, and he borrowed the red dust to get his heart, he said that the hidden dragon flies for nine days, and the phoenix has broken wings and the world is peaceful. ”
Yuan Bao nodded, he also remembered these few words, he had always felt that these words were not simple, and they seemed to have a lot to do with the two verses left by Li Bad.
Yuan Bao said: "In this poem, there are three zhang mountains, there are eight-armed heavenly demons, and the old man Shangde is mysterious and unpredictable, and he will never be targeted for no reason." ”
Master Li said: "But in this colorful space, there is no so-called mountain or water at all, not even stones. ”
Yuan Bao handed the big to Master Li, squatted down, looked at his reflection under the glorious mirror under his feet, and was suddenly stunned, he seemed to see a black shadow quickly gliding through the transparent underground. It was just too fast for a flash, and he wasn't sure if it was his own dazzle or the reflection of the sky's streamer.
Yuan Bao said secretly in his heart: "As soon as the son and mother went against the sky, the sword immortal smiled and stopped. These two sentences are in front of the foremost, and they must be riddles to find Sanzhang Mountain. Against the sky, the wind and rain stop...... Li Bad ......"
His eyes gradually brightened, and he drew out the Dragon Slaying Divine Sword and stabbed it fiercely at the smooth mirror under his feet.
He had no real power, but under this thorn, there was a sudden crisp sound, and then a continuous echo came from all directions, and gradually turned into a loud bang. The space between the two seemed to collapse rapidly under a sword.
Master Li's face changed slightly, and he said, "What's the matter?" ”
Yuan Bao laughed and said, "I know!
After saying that, he raised his sword and stabbed it three more times.
The rumbling sound quickly weakened, and the surrounding colorful space gradually dissipated, and with the rapid disappearance of those streamers, the entire space dimmed, but the true yuan of the two of them recovered quickly.
Master Li was overjoyed in his heart, and sacrificed the Green Shadow Sword, and the bright blue glow illuminated the surroundings.
The two looked back, and not far away was the Rainbow Bridge, and countless Yin soldiers passed quickly in a row of six. The two walked in the colorful space for an hour, and they were less than ten zhang away from the Colorful Bridge.
Master Li was shocked and said, "What's the matter?"
The corners of Yuanbao's mouth hooked, looked at the Yin soldiers in the aisle not far away, and said: "We have all been deceived, Li Bad was a generation of naughty boys back then, and Zeng Qi had a constant relationship, do you remember that in that immortal mansion in the wilderness, what did Li Bad's predecessors get in addition to getting the Soul Chasing Sword?"
Master Li thought about it, seemed to think of it too, and said in surprise: "Nightmare Beast!"
Yuan Bao said: "Yes, it's the Nightmare Beast, we have entered the mirror illusion world arranged by the Nightmare Beast for us when we enter the Underground Hongqiao, this Nightmare Beast has lived for thousands of years, it is the guardian beast of the Soul Chasing Sword, there is a Soul Chasing Sword, how can there be no Nightmare Beast? We were so careless that we forgot the guardian beast of the sword. ”
Master Li controlled Qing Ming and shot the glow around. Suddenly, a huge eight-armed statue appeared in the darkness.
The eight-armed statue was exactly the same as the eight-armed demon god that the two of them saw on the stairs of Luoshui City, but it was very huge, more than ten zhang high. Each arm holds a strange magic weapon.
"Fire in the fire, eight-armed psychic heaven! We've come to the right place. Master Li's face was overjoyed.
Yuan Bao said: "The location is right, but what does fire in the fire mean, and what does Sanzhang Mountain mean, we haven't figured it out yet." ”
Master Li was so smart, and after a while, he said, "Since there are nightmare beasts guarding the left and right, then we can't deduce it with common sense. There is no use in the world at all, the three-zhang high mountain should be conjured by the nightmare beast, and as for the fire in the fire, I think it should have something to do with the fact that we went out in the direction of the flames. ”
Yuan Bao said angrily: "If it is a face-to-face battle, I am not afraid of the ten Great Demons of the Flood Desolation, but that Nightmare Beast is one of the ten great demonic beasts of the ancients, and its spiritual power is super strong, and it can control other people's minds at will to hallucinate." If we don't pull him out, we won't want to get the Excalibur. ”
