The cave leads to the underground, and the interior is very large, and there is an underground river inside, the water of which glows green, and flows to a huge pit. Strangely, Zhen Zheng couldn't hear the sound of the water.

A small boat suddenly appeared in the river, the hull was simple, the color of the boat was blood red, there were ghosts and demons on it, and on the boat lay a strong man dressed in animal skin, with a fierce face, as if he was asleep. The boat followed the current into the crater and made no sound. Then there was another boat, the hull of which was so black that it was almost impossible to see the pattern of the boat, and in which lay a man, who also entered the pit.

Zhen Zheng shouted loudly, hoping that the people on the boat would wake up. "Don't waste your efforts, they are all souls, and they can't hear your voice at all. Anguqi said on the side.

"This river is the Nine Nether Styx, and those boats are the Hell, which are dedicated to receiving the souls of the deceased and entering the Nine Netherworld, which is what the world calls the eighteen layers of hell. Anguqi explained, "The Nine Nether Styx is rootless water that flows into the Nine Netherworld, almost all of the Hades. The ship is divided into nine colors, each color has a shade, the nine colors indicate the good and evil of the people in the boat, the darker the color, the heavier the sin, like the almost blackened ship you just saw, the people inside are afraid to be sent to the seventeenth layer of hell. The blood-red ship, the people inside probably killed too much, and it won't end well. ”

"What is it like inside the Nine Netherworlds?Is there a bull's head and a horse's face, is there a black and white impermanence??," Zhen Zheng said curiously, since he traveled south, his courage has really grown.

"How do I know, I haven't died. An Guqi glanced at Zhen Zheng, "Maybe you'll know when you die in the future." ”

Zhen Zheng was speechless, and An Guqi still spoke so "with a surname". "But this Nine Styx River is too small, in the event of a natural disaster [***], wouldn't it be a fortress ship?" Zhen Zheng considered it comprehensively.

"Who told you that there is only one Nine Styx, this Styx is probably only responsible for one-tenth of the territory of Shu, this is because the population of Shu is small, like the Central Plains Styx, there are countless Styx, and any Styx is as vast as the sea. Anguqi said.

At this time, a big gray and white boat suddenly appeared in the Nine Styx, loaded with dozens of people, and a big purple boat appeared behind the gray and white boat, and there was a big blue boat behind the big purple boat, and there were big boats appearing continuously, and the Nine Styx River seemed to be really "jammed".

Zhen Zheng and the others were stunned, what was the disaster where happened, so many people died in an instant, the big ships were endless, Zhen Zheng roughly estimated that at least dozens of ships had entered the underworld, that is, thousands of people died, and the big ships continued to appear.

"Let's get out of here quickly. Anguqi said uneasily.

is as bold as Zhen Zheng, and he is also starting to hair. The two hurriedly left the cave and returned to the resting place of the southbound group. only to find that Jian Xuan and Shuyuan had already returned to the team.

"You two are too slow, Shuyuan and I almost went to look for you. Jian Xuan gnawed on the demon beast's legs, and his voice was inarticulate.

Zhen Zheng and An Guqi's faces darkened, and they said in their hearts, aren't we still delaying to find you. It turned out that Jian Xuan and the others only passed by the side of the cave and did not go deeper.

Zhen Zheng told everyone what he saw in the cave, and everyone looked solemn after listening to it. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and everyone continues to hurry after eating.

After a few days, everyone arrived at a small town north of the bowl, and the town was full of wounded and panicked. Everyone inquired and learned that there was a huge palace suspended in the sky above Wannan, which I don't know for hundreds of years, and it became a wonder in Wannan. Who knew that a few days ago, more than a dozen flying beasts attacked the palace, and the palace suddenly fell, almost destroying half of the city, and the lives of Wannan were devastated.

Zhen Zheng thought of the countless big ships in the Nine Shadows Styx, and it turned out that Wannan City suddenly suffered bad luck.

The southbound group set off for Wannan, where it is said that the palace is the residence of the immortals, and everyone hopes to find an encounter in the palace. Wannan had restored order at this time, and a team of soldiers and horses came to take over Wannan City, and the people in the city did not know which way it was.

Zhen Zheng felt that the armor of the soldiers in the city was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"It's a soldier of the ancient tribe. An Guqi whispered to Zhen Zheng.

Zhen Zheng remembered that in the mausoleum under the pilgrimage of the beasts, the armor of those ghost soldiers was also like this, but the ghost soldiers were all leather armor, and the current ones were more advanced.

The palace has been blocked by the soldiers, and no one is allowed to enter, so the Mu family southbound group had to find an inn nearby, stay temporarily, and decide to sneak into the palace at night. After all, the people of the southbound regiment are not ordinary people, and some ordinary soldiers still can't find out if they use some means to enter the palace.

At night, the Mu family's southbound group discussed how to sneak into the palace, and thought hard for a long time, but there was no countermeasure. "Wrap it around me. Jian Xuan said confidently.

Several of the people guarding the palace were instantly knocked unconscious by the black shadow, fell to the ground, and were tied together. The black shadow is naturally Jian Xuan, and he is simply neat. Everyone couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, Jian Xuan's method was really efficient.

The palace is majestic and quite imperial.

Everyone entered the palace, the hall was brightly lit, dozens of stone pillars supported the main hall, and there were countless side halls on both sides, and everyone decided to disperse. Zhen Zheng is naturally with An Guqi, Mu Lian and the two guards of the Mu family are together, the strongest Jian Xuan and the weakest Shuyuan are together, and the distribution is also even. Originally, everyone didn't want Shuyuan to enter the palace to take risks, but Shuyuan begged Jian Xuan hard, but Jian Xuan couldn't survive it, so she had to agree.

Everyone discussed, whether there was any gain or not, they should return to the inn before the end of the day.

Zhen Zheng and the others walked around aimlessly, and the right was used as a play. Zhen Zheng seemed to hear a voice coming from the left, walked over, and saw a wall painted with a dragon.

Zhen was leaning on the wall and listening, sure that the sound was coming from behind the wall, but An Guqi didn't hear anything. Zhen was looking for a mechanism on the wall, and when he touched the dragon's body, the dragon's eyes lit up, and the entire wall parted from the middle, revealing a huge stone chamber inside.

Zhen Zheng and An Guqi glanced at each other, walked into the stone room, and saw a huge circular stone formation in the stone room, the stone formation was surrounded by twenty-four strange stones of different colors, each stone was about one person high, and there was a huge blue crystal pillar in the center of the stone formation, which was broken in the middle and lost its luster.

On the wall behind the stone chamber are four large characters: Castle in the Sky.

Zhen Zheng was shocked, this turned out to be the legendary Heavenly Palace built by the Emperor Kaizu, the name of the Heavenly Palace is Sky City, the legend of the Sky City was built on the top of the Central Imperial Tower, and it disappeared after completion, and later generations thought that the Heavenly Palace did not exist at all. Unexpectedly, it appeared in southern Xinjiang and fell from the sky.

Anguqi seemed to be focused on the twenty-four strange stones.

"What are these stones?" Zhen Zheng patted An Guqi on the shoulder.

"You must not enter this stone formation. An Guqi said solemnly.

"Is there anything wrong with these stones?" Zhen Zheng said curiously.

"These stones are teleportation stones, which can instantly teleport things to a certain array, and can also teleport people. An Guqi said with an ugly face. "These stones form a teleportation array, which can not only transmit people over, but also pass people away, and some teleportation arrays do not have teleportation stones, so they can only accept the person being teleported but cannot teleport people. That blue crystal should be the core of the Heavenly Palace, and it is also the driving force for the Heavenly Palace to fly. Probably because the fierce beast attacked the city and the crystal energy was exhausted, it was broken, and the heavenly palace naturally fell. ”

The city in the sky was built by the Emperor Kaizu, and after it was built, it disappeared, and it was actually teleported to Wannan, it seems that the Great Emperor did it on purpose, but why?

"It seems that when Emperor Kaizu went south, he arranged a large array under Wannan City. The Emperor returned to the Central Plains, built the Heavenly Palace, and used the teleportation array to teleport the Heavenly Palace to Wannan, probably to use Wannan as a stronghold to prepare for the future conquest of southern Xinjiang. I guess those fierce beasts are controlled by the ancient clan, and their defeat of the Heavenly Palace and the occupation of Wannan are tantamount to declaring war on the Divine Dynasty. I am afraid that after thousands of years of recuperation and recuperation, the strength of the ancient clan has recovered, and they are no longer afraid of the Central Plains. The Divine Dynasty has been comfortable for thousands of years, pampered and pampered, and the armament is slack, if the ancient clan raises troops for the Northern Expedition now, the Central Plains will be in difficulty. An Guqi said with a solemn face.

As the junction of Northern Shu, Guangyue and Dejiang, the geographical location of Wannan is particularly important, and it is indeed a place where soldiers must fight.

"It turns out that the Heavenly Palace still has such a mystery, which is really eye-opening. A familiar voice came.

Zhen Zheng looked back and was overjoyed, he was actually fat.

"Fatty, you're not dead, how did you find us?" Zhen Zheng asked.

"Of course, I've followed you all the way here. The fat man sneered. Zhen Zheng didn't know why, he felt that the fat man seemed to be a different person, holding a long sword in his hand.

"What's wrong with you? Are you possessed by a demon?" Zhen Zheng said worriedly.

"You're really naïve," the fat man said back to his usual appearance, and suddenly became cold again, "I'm just here to kill you and get the black wood ring on your right hand." ”

How did he know about the Black Wood Ring? Zhen Zheng thought about it carefully and exclaimed, "You were the thief that night!"

"Not bad. The fat man nodded in acknowledgement. Suddenly, the fat man pulled out his long sword, and a cold sword aura came straight towards Zhen Zheng. An Guqi pulled out the soft sword on his waist, trying to block this fierce sword qi, but he was shocked away, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and the soft sword was also shattered into iron filings.

"What a terrible sword qi," An Guqi said in shock, "You killed all the people of the Shui family?" When you were in the bowl, you sent someone to send the bloody clothes to the inn, so that we all thought that you were killed by the Shui family, but we were afraid that the incident in the east window would happen, so we killed everyone in the Shui family and cut down the grass and roots. ”

"It's still Lao An, you're smart. The fat man laughed.

The fat man approached step by step, and Zhen Zheng helped An Guqi to retreat, "Fast forward to the stone formation." Anguqi shouted. Zhen Zheng didn't care about anything else, and pulled An Guqi into the stone formation.

Twenty-four strange stones emitted light, connected into a ring, the fat man shouted "not good", and split out a grand sword qi, which was twice as thick as just now, Zhen Zheng saw that he was about to be split, and the scenery in front of him changed suddenly, but it was teleported elsewhere.

The fat man's sword qi did not hit the two of them, but it destroyed the stone formation and could no longer be used.
