Chapter 171: The City of the Underworld
"This is the city of the underworld, and it is indeed a place of extreme evil."
Li Mo squinted slightly, even with his eyesight, it was difficult to penetrate the haze and fog above the city, but his hearing was unhindered, and he could easily hear the noise inside from such a distance.
If you look closely, there are shouts, noises, and even the sound of cars and horses walking, which means that this city is not a dead city, but a prosperous city.
"It's strange, this city is blocked by a big stone tablet, how do you get into the city?"
Qin Ke'er said in surprise.
Shu Sanming smiled and pointed towards the huge crystal above the city, "Senior Sister Qin, do you know what that black crystal is for?"
"It doesn't look like a formation, it's more like a building, maybe it's a place where people live? ”
Qin Ke'er replied.
Shu Sanming said in a deep voice: "It is indeed a building where a person lives, but what lives in it is not a living person, but a living body. ”
"A living body?"
Li Mo and the others frowned.
"This means that there are tens of thousands of flesh in the underworld!"
Shu Sanming explained.
The two of them were taken aback for a moment, and then Li Mo immediately understood: "Could it be that the people who enter the city are divided into two parts: the body and the soul, the soul lives in the city, and the body is stored in the crystal. ”
Shu Sanming nodded and said: "That's right, the stone tablet is called the Soul Monument, as long as any living person touches it, its body and soul will be separated, the soul can pass through the stone tablet into the city, and the physical body will be transported to the black crystal for storage." ”
"The methods of this inner demon are really weird, his method of manipulating people's hearts is nothing more than manipulating people's consciousness, and the soul has lost the protection of the body, as if it is presented defenselessly in front of his eyes, like a lamb to the slaughter. ”
Qin Ke'er frowned and said.
"Yes, even if it is a top powerhouse, the cultivation of the soul is still not as good as the physical body, and the hand of the heart demon is really prohibitive. ”
Li Mo nodded, and then said, "Then you can only climb over the city wall?"
Shu Sanming shook his head and said, "No, there is a powerful and complex magic circle built into the city wall, and you can also see that there are no guards on it, and that's because the slightest disturbance there will trigger an attack." ”
"Oh-"
Li Mo squinted slightly, his five senses expanded, and when he touched the city wall, he found that it was full of magic circles, and these magic circles were very keen, even if the quasi-spiritual energy penetrated through it, it seemed that it would alarm it at any time.
Since it was a thing set up by the demon in his heart, it would be tricky to crack it in a short time, so he touched it and muttered: "So the only way to enter the city is through the city gate. However, if the soul is separated, it is equivalent to putting one's own neck under the enemy's sword. ”
Even if Li Mo's soul had a physical dragon soul and a sword of killing desire, he didn't dare to fight with his soul body in the face of a strong enemy like the heart demon.
At this time, Shu Sanming smiled and said, "Senior Brother Li doesn't have to worry, our Qipan Sect is a wonderful way to enter the city. ”
"I don't know what the magic is?"
Li Mo immediately asked.
But seeing Shu Sanming take out a pill bottle, he said: "This is the secret elixir 'Soul Solidifying Pill' of this sect, after taking this pill, the soul and flesh can be one, so that the soul tablet cannot play a role." ”
"Does this thing really work?"
Qin Ke'er was a little suspicious.
Shu Sanming said solemnly: "Everyone in the world knows that this underworld has a place to go and no return, but in fact, a senior of this sect came out alive from here back then. ”
"And this thing?"
Li Mo was also a little interested.
Tang Huaiyuan explained on the side: "Back then, the predecessors of this sect sneaked into Yinwan Mountain in order to pick a rare medicinal herb, and at that time, Yinwan Mountain was different from now, and it was full of wandering spirits under the hands of the heart demons. Once someone enters the mountain and is discovered by the geist, they will be taken to the city of Hades. At that time, the predecessors of this sect were also discovered by the wandering spirits and taken outside the underworld. ”
Shu Sanming continued: "This Soul Solid Pill not only makes the soul and flesh the same, but also can make the soul cover the outside of the body, which looks like a wandering soul, so it passes through the Soul Monument smoothly. Later, when he found an opportunity, he quietly ran out of the city, which can be described as a walk before the ghost gate was closed. ”
"There is such a past. Li Mo nodded when he heard this.
Shu Sanming said again: "So now the sect has a strict order, prohibiting it from setting foot in the depths of the mountains. ”
"But if you go directly through the Soul Monument, you'll be immediately discovered if there are guards inside. Qin Ke'er said cautiously.
Shu Sanming smiled: "Of course there are guards inside, so we have to wait for an opportunity." There are geist patrols in the place outside the city, and when these geists return, they will change shifts with the guards, and there will be a short-term loophole at that time, and the ancestors of our sect escaped when they discovered this. ”
So, one of them took a soul solid pill and waited slowly outside the city.
In this way, until late at night, I saw more than a dozen black shadows flying from the place outside the city, and sure enough, it was a bunch of geismas.
Their bodies are translucent, and they hold long forks, which are light and weightless.
A patrol of geists passed through the Soul Monument and vanished.
"Here's your chance!"
Shu Sanming secretly snorted, and several people rushed to the gate of the underworld and strode in.
Rushing into the Soul Monument was no different from the feeling of entering the teleportation array, a huge force covering the body.
Sensing the strength of this force, Li Mo also secretly said that he was glad, if he broke in so rashly, even if he was only afraid, he would inevitably be stripped of his soul, and this entry alone was so terrifying, which showed the means of the demons.
Everyone was in the Soul Monument, and when they poked out half of their heads, they saw the situation in the city.
The city was shrouded in a dark yin qi, and it was not clear from the outside just now, but now standing at the city gate, you can clearly see the prosperity inside the city.
In the meantime, there are many shops, although the spirits have lost their bodies, but their words and deeds are the same as those of the living, doing business, drinking and chatting, drinking and drinking, each has its own thing, and it seems very lively.
At the gates, a group of geist guards were laughing and chatting with the newly returned patrol, which had not been threatened for hundreds of years, so the geists were clearly underguarded, gathering on the left and leaving the right empty.
Moreover, the cultivation of the Wandering Soul Guard is obviously not high, and it is clearly the state of the Spirit Aperture Realm, and he is obviously a disciple of the Xuanmen.
"Let's go!"
Seeing the opportunity, Shu Sanming let out a low voice, and the four of them swept in like a gust of wind, and in an instant, they had passed through the right side of the city gate and arrived on the street.
The streets are full of people, except that people are wandering spirits and prosperous cities.
"It's so dense yin, it's really a ghost domain, and my heart trembles when I stand here. ”
Tang Huaiyuan said in a low voice.
"Senior Brother Li, you can still stand it, right?"
Shu Sanming asked.
"We're fine. ”
Li Mo replied with a smile.
"It's too conspicuous to stand on the road, let's find a hidden place first. Shu Sanming said.
Then they went to a small alley.
At this time, Shu Sanming said: "Senior Brother Li, we have come in this city, and now we are waiting to do your business, what do you want to do in the city?"
Li Mo asked solemnly, "How much does Senior Brother Shu know about the inner demons?"
Shu Sanming muttered: "I only know that the heart demon has the ability to manipulate people's hearts, but mortals will be manipulated by them when they enter it. Over the past few hundred years, a large number of strong people have entered this place and tried to kill this demon, but I heard that the inner demon didn't even move a finger, and these strong people killed each other to death. ”
At this point, he was shocked abruptly: "Senior Brother Li, you shouldn't want to assassinate the heart demon, right?"
Li Mo said: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother Shu, I really came here this time to kill the demons." ”
"My God, my junior brother's courage is too great, do you know how many strong people have died here, just because of your cultivation, aren't you here to die?"
Shu Sanming shook his head.
"You are indeed blind, but he has a king-level cultivation. Qin Ke'er said lightly.
"What, Heavenly King?"
Shu Sanming and the others were taken aback, and covered their mouths so that the screams didn't come out.
The two of them stared at Li Mo with wide eyes, and the shock they were shocked can be imagined, even in this era of strong people, the king of heaven is still a word that shocks the people of the world, especially for small and medium-sized sects, it is even more unattainable.
At this time, looking at the young man in front of him, although he did not release the breath of the Heavenly King, his eyes as deep as the sea had a thrilling magic.
All of a sudden, this young man stood in front of him like a big mountain, the high mountain was upright, it was difficult to see it, and he could have such a deterrent power, and his cultivation could not be clearer.
At this time, Li Mo smiled slightly: "If you have something to hide, please forgive me." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare...... The seniors are serious, and this senior brother can't afford it. ”
How dare the two of them regard themselves as senior brothers, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking ashamed.
Then, Shu Sanming suddenly remembered for a moment, and shouted in a low voice: "Oh, the senior shouldn't be the senior Li who fought the demon with the Ten Heavenly Kings in the Evil Moon Mountain a while ago, right?"
"Exactly. ”
Li Mo nodded.
Since the battle of Evil Moon Mountain, Li Mo's name has been widely spread in the south, and it is said that he has a close relationship with the thirteen believers, and sneaked into Evil Moon Mountain to save the righteous king, planning to kill the two evil ways, and fighting with the demons.
For the two of them, the young man in front of them is already a peerless powerhouse.
Then, Shu Sanming said excitedly: "The juniors have eyes and don't know Taishan, I didn't expect to be able to walk with Senior Li, today Senior Li is here to kill the demons, please let the juniors serve under your command!"
"This time, I'll keep you safe. ”
Li Mo smiled slightly, and then said: "The current thing is to first find out the situation in the entire Underworld, especially about the problem of foreign objects, so that we can have a countermeasure." ”
Shu Sanming said: "There is a Soul Solid Pill that we can walk freely in the city, so it is better to inquire in the city." ”
