Chapter 36 Yellow Springs

Ji Ruochen didn't know what was behind him, he just looked at the capital and took a big stride, like flying.

As he walked forward, he silently examined his various Dao magic techniques. When she broke out of the Dead Soul team, Ji Ruochen had already found that her magic power was greatly weakened compared to that in the Human Realm, but just now watching Yun Wuhua and the Dead Soul fighting, it was obvious that her Dao cultivation had been weakened even more. Could it be that the higher a cultivator in the underworld, the weaker he becomes?

Dao cultivation is the foundation of preserving the soul in this strange world and seeking a way out, Ji Ruochen took turns using various mental methods in his travel, so as to become familiar with the method of using power in the underworld as soon as possible. After a while, he found that in this ghost mansion in the underworld, the Three Pure Righteous Methods taught by the Daode Sect could only exert one or two percent of the power at most, but the stick trick taught by the shopkeeper and his wife was like a fish in water, and the more he used it, the more he turned around.

Ji Ruochen tried his best, walking faster and faster, and the surrounding scenery quickly retreated behind him, and the speed of running was no slower than when he was in the dust.

According to the "Mountains and Seas: Yin and Yang Chapter", the capital is 500 miles long from east to west, 800 miles from north to south, and the city is 13 miles high.

Ji Ruochen went to the capital here, of course, he didn't want to be picked up by the ghost mansion like ordinary people, so as to be imprisoned and suffer or re-enter the six realms of reincarnation. "Mountains and Seas, Yin and Yang Chapter" is separately described in the Ten Palaces of Yama, in which it is said that the Tenth Hall Wheel King is surnamed Xue, who is in charge of the ghosts solved by each hall, distinguishing between good and evil, approving the level, and reincarnating from the major continents of the earth.

What Ji Ruochen is looking for is this wheel king.

As the saying goes, there are clouds, yin and yang are separated, and its abyss is like the sea. He didn't know how he got here, or why he was so different from the rest of the dead souls. He knew almost nothing about the distribution of the underworld, and naturally he didn't know how to return to the world. According to records, the tenth hall is in charge of reincarnation, so the passage to return to the world may be there, and the only thing Ji Ruochen can think of at this time is to find the wheel king who presides over the tenth hall.

Ji Ruochen walked extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, the distant drunken eyes had almost filled his field of vision. The scenery has changed many times in the past, climbing low hills covered with thorny thorn vines, bushes with babies crying and women screaming, and even large patches of enchanting and gorgeous mandala sea. He was in the mood to appreciate these wonders that were only recorded in ancient books, and all he could think about was to reach the giant city in front of him as soon as possible.

Suddenly, Ji Ruochen's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but slow down. As he walked, a wooden bridge slowly appeared in the thick fog in front of him.

There is no water or ditch here, and some are just black soil. The wooden bridge was built on such a flat land, which is extremely abrupt. And the wooden bridge is covered with cobwebs, the wooden pillars are cracked, and the bridge body is shaking in the wind, and I don't know how many years it has been standing here.

The terrain here is flat and open, and there should be roads everywhere. But for some reason, Ji Ruochen had a strong feeling that only that bridge was the only way. He had no choice but to walk slowly to the bridge and take a closer look at the wooden bridge. A piece of white wood was scraped on a square pillar at the head of the wooden bridge, and three ancient seals were carved on it. Due to disrepair, the three seal characters have long been eroded and peeled off by wind and rain. Ji Ruochen stroked off the floating ash and cobwebs on the seal characters, and carefully identified them, only to vaguely recognize the three words.

Nai Ho Bridge.

At this time, a thick smell of meat came from the bridge, which was extremely inconsistent with the cold and lifeless underworld. Ji Ruochen stepped onto the bridge, and the entire wooden bridge shook with his movements, the bridge plates, lock bars and even tenons were beating, squeaking and squeaking, and it seemed that it might fall apart at any time.

As soon as I stepped on the bridge, the thin fog suddenly surged and squeezed from all directions, and it was so vast that not only could not see where the bridge led, but also disappeared from it. Ji Ruochen only glanced back, calmed down, and walked forward without hesitation.

The dense fog obscured the vision in all directions, and even the bridge railings that should be close on both sides were not visible, Ji Ruochen looked down and could only see the wooden planks where his feet were standing, showing that he was still on the bridge. The smell of meat came endlessly, as if an invisible hook was dragging Ji Ruochen away.

I don't know how long I walked, but an old woman appeared in the fog, who was using a wooden stick to stir the charcoal fire, and a large tile urn was set up on the fire, I don't know what was cooking, and the smell of meat was coming out of the urn.

The old woman suddenly raised her head and grinned at Ji Ruochen!

She had a furrowed face, a huge hooked nose, withered hair, shaped like a mess of grass, and no teeth in her mouth.

She is too old to be old, but she has a pair of green eyes that are bottomless, as if they can seduce the soul.

The old woman laughed a few times like a crow, stood up, found a broken bowl out of nowhere, took out a bowl of black broth from the urn, and handed it to Ji Ruochen.

Under the gaze of those green eyes, Ji Ruochen was in a trance for a while, only to feel that the aroma of meat in the bowl was extremely attractive, and as soon as he smelled the aroma, he felt as if he had been hungry for thousands of years, so he reached out and took the bowl.

The old woman laughed again, and said, "Drink, drink, and you will forget all those troubles......

Listening to Ji Ruochen's ears, the voice was extremely kind and caring, and the soup bowl in his hand also exuded warmth, in this cold and damp mist. Iron it against the palm of his hand. Ji Ruochen couldn't help but raise the soup bowl and muttered, "Won't you be annoyed if you drink it?"

The old woman smiled like ironwood on her face, and urged: "It's so smart, drink it quickly, the soup won't taste good when it's cold." ”

Ji Ruochen nodded yes, slowly raised the bowl to his lips, and was about to drink it. However, there seemed to be a voice in his heart shouting something repeatedly, but at this moment he was in a trance, unconscious, and when the shout reached his head, there was only a buzz, and he could hardly hear anything except the voice of the old woman.

If you drink it, you won't be annoyed.

However, what are the things that troubled him? Ji Ruochen thought hard, stopped the bowl and didn't drink. Is it the wandering of the world when I was a child, the five years of hard work in the inn, or the years of forbearance of the Daode Sect? In retrospect, these don't seem to be any troubles, resentments, and bitterness, so what do you want to forget, and why do you want to drink this bowl of soup?

When the old woman saw him stop the bowl, her face was fierce, her eyes were full of blue light, and she suddenly screamed, "Drink it!"

Ji Ruochen's whole body was shocked, his hands raised by himself, and he poured the bowl of soup into his mouth! The shouts in his heart became more and more sharp, and suddenly his heart swept over Gu Qing and Tsing Yi's faces like electricity.

With a bang, Ji Ruochen's upper and lower teeth were stiffly closed, and he bit off a large piece of the side of the soup bowl and chewed it to pieces. Although the mouth is full of broken porcelain, most of the bowl of hot soup is blocked from the mouth. Ji Ruochen's hands trembled, and he forcibly pulled the soup bowl out of his mouth one by one.

The old woman's raven-like voice rose again: "Drink it!"

"Drink it!" the old woman's hair stood on end, her eyes protruded, her tattered black robe rose without wind, her big mouth was open to the extreme, and the only remaining black tooth could be faintly seen.

Every time the old woman screamed, Ji Ruochen's heart felt as if he had been hit by a giant log, his limbs were involuntary, and he couldn't help but do what she said like a marionette. But at this time, he knew that he must not drink this bowl of soup, and he tried his willpower to resist.

"No!"

Ji Ruochen roared wildly, as if breaking through an invisible shackle. He appeared behind the old woman with only one side step, and then grabbed the back of her neck, and with a tightening of his right hand, the old woman immediately screamed like a crow with its feathers plucked, and opened her mouth involuntarily.

Ji Ruochen raised his left hand, and all the remaining broth in the broken bowl was poured into her mouth!

The hot soup rushes straight into the throat and immediately drains the stomach. The old woman's face was immediately earthy, and she cried out incessantly.

Ji Ruochen's right hand tightened, crushing her neck bone, and then threw her out of the bridge railing with a wave of his hand. By this time, the fog ahead had dissipated to a very thin level, and the end of the bridge was only ten paces away. However, there is a faint road at the other end of the bridge, leading all the way to Xudu.

Ji Ruochen flew up, kicked and smashed the big urn for cooking soup, strode across the Nai He Bridge, and then rushed towards the capital again.

The closer he got to the capital, the more Ji Ruochen was amazed by this incredible giant city. From a distance, the deep black wall of the giant wall went straight into the black clouds in the air, and there was no end in sight. Looking left and right again, the wall of the capital is endless, as if the entire underworld has been cut off by this huge wall.

At this time, from a distance, you can already see that there is a city gate at every distance below the city wall of Xudu, and many dead souls are lined up in front of each city gate, waiting to take turns to enter the city. Ji Ruochen looked at it very much, except for these city gates, there was no other entrance to Xu.

Ji Ruochen chose to run towards the nearest city gate, and just a few miles away, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in his ears. When Ji Ruochen heard it, he knew that it was the sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air, and his body moved with his thoughts, and he suddenly froze in place.

An iron arrow burst through the air, swept a foot in front of him, and stuck diagonally into the ground. The iron arrow has no feathers, and only the word equality is engraved on the shaft of the arrow. As soon as he saw this iron arrow, Ji Ruochen's will was turbulent again, and he had the urge to kneel and worship. Ji Ruochen already had the experience of Nai He Bridge, and knew that most of the archers were people with functions in the underworld, and they naturally had the power to command souls like him. Since he was prepared at this time, his heart was like a dry well in an instant, and he would not waver.

In the sonorous sound, 16 iron horsemen appeared one after another, and the four hooves of their war horses under their crotches were on fire, which was quite similar to the ghost horses that Ji Ruochen saw in Luoyang City that day. The iron cavalry divided into circles, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Ruochen was sandwiched in the middle. After the iron horse, a hundred warriors with bull heads and human bodies stepped out, armed with huge axes, and came to the ground with a roar. Behind the bull's head, there were four giant ghosts that were six feet tall and had a blue complexion. The four giant ghosts had their chests and bellies protruding, covered their bodies with only a rag, their upper bodies were wrapped with thick iron chains, and they were holding a ghost-headed broadsword that was three feet long and one foot thick. The bull head and the giant ghost lined up in front of Ji Ruochen, and a dark black giant car drove out in the middle, and it was not the ghost horse Yin Niu who pulled the cart, but two black dragons with three feet long and flying up and down!

Seeing that Ji Ruochen was still standing upright and not kneeling, the bull head and the giant ghost couldn't help but be amazed and exchanged ears.

Two handsome children with white faces and no eyebrows walked out next to the giant car, and one of them shouted: "Bold wandering spirit!

The other had a pair of surprisingly large blue eyes, and screamed at Ji Ruochen, "A lot of blood, a lot of debts!"

At this time, a deep voice sounded in the car, and said, "Let's scare him first, and find out the ins and outs!" As soon as this voice came out, the two boys immediately stopped ringing.

The voice said: "Wu Na wandering soul, who is your surname, what is your birthday, why do you wander in the form of a living soul in the underworld, not subject to the control of the priest, and report them one by one." This king's tour of the city is to observe the situation. If you have any grievances, it will not hurt you to tell them. ”

Ji Ruochen's heart sank, sitting in the car was actually the Equality King of the ninth hall of the ten halls of Hades. Listening to the tone of King Ping, now he is in the form of a living soul, which is very different from an ordinary dead soul? Ji Ruochen didn't have time to think about it, Shi Li said: "In the next surname Ji Ruochen, this time I don't know why I suddenly fell into the underworld, I am puzzled, just because the matter in front of me is not over, and I am trying to return to the yang world. As for the birth date, this ...... I really don't know. ”

Hearing Ji Ruochen's name, a black mist surged in the hands of a little boy first, and a book with a thickness of one foot appeared. The boy opened the book and began to dig through it page by page. Ji Ruochen looked at the bookbook, suddenly moved in his heart, and secretly wondered: "Is this the book of life and death?"

At this time, the iron hooves rumbled in the distance, and an iron horseman arrived on a flying horse, rolled the saddle and fell off the horse in front of the chariot of the king of equality, and shouted: "Lord, the big thing is not good! Then Meng Po was poured Meng Po soup on the Nai He Bridge, and knocked down under the bridge, and at this moment he has forgotten his official identity, his consciousness will be scattered, and his position is empty! At this moment, many Yin Spirits have crossed the Nai He Bridge with the events of their previous lives! According to the Yin Si Little Ghost, it is said that it was a living soul......

With a bang, the bull-headed giant ghost talked a lot, and when he looked at Ji Ruochen again, there was no more ferocity and more timidity.

Before the iron horseman's words fell, he suddenly saw Ji Ruochen standing in front of the car, and couldn't help but be shocked, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted: "Soul?

The King of Equality in the car snorted and just said, "Don't panic. Let's wait until this king finds out about this!"

As soon as King Equality said this, the noisy ghost palace guards gradually quieted down.

After a few moments, the beardless boy lifted the thick book in the air, ran to the side of the car, and whispered something. Ji Ruochen saw at a glance that there were three big seals written on the cover of the thick book: the reincarnation book. And the strange thing is that although the child's voice was soft, Ji Ruochen could hear it clearly. In the vast underworld, his spiritual sense seemed to be more acute.

I only heard the little boy say: "Lord Yu, I have found Ji Ruochen, who has no merit or wisdom in the ninety-ninth life, just a mortal, no merit and no fault, and is definitely not an immortal or the reincarnation of the stars!"

"Really?" asked the King of Equality.

"It's true! I remember it clearly in this book!" the boy struggled to hold the book of reincarnation high.

With a snap, the window opened, and a big black hand stretched out from it, holding a red pen, quickly adding a few strokes to the book, and then putting it back. The two black dragons driving together exerted their strength, and the car slowly floated, turning around and flying in the direction of Xudu.

The little boy took the reincarnation book and shouted: "Bold Ji Ruochen! You did not obey the laws of the underworld, crossed the weak water without permission, killed countless sins during your lifetime, and boldly harmed Meng Po, and the crime is unforgivable! The king of equality has an order, and you will be immediately sent to the iron net and hell, and you will be tortured by fire and burned through your internal organs......
