Chapter 36 Yellow Springs II
He paused, and when he saw Ji Ruochen's stunned face, he made the sharpest voice he could make. Exclaimed: "Nine hundred years!!"
Seeing the bull's head roaring again and again, they all shook the chains and rushed up, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then the nameless fire started. It is said that the human world is a mortal fetus with the naked eye, and the heart is occluded, so there are many injustices, and the underworld has a candle yin and yang, distinguishing between good and evil, and paying for life and death.
I fell into this place in a daze, thinking about what was wrong with returning to the yang world. Since they all said that they were living souls, then Yu Po should not fail to see the difference between himself and the dead souls whose life had expired, but forced himself to drink Meng Po soup, and what was wrong with fighting back? Although he did do it a little heavier.
"I just want to go back to the sun!" he cried.
The little boy smiled gloomily and said, "Do you want to go back to the yang world, because you have committed a great sin today, and after suffering from nine hundred years of fire refining and moxibustion, you will be sent to the first hall, and King Qin Guang will be sent to the first hall according to your sins in your previous life. In this way, the ten halls are reincarnated. When you get to the wheel, you can only enter the animal path. It's up to you, and you want to go back to the yang world?"
With a choking sound, a heavy and cold iron chain was already on Ji Ruochen's head and neck, and his arms were also grabbed by a bull's head. Then two powerful passes came to his shoulders, pressing him to his knees.
The little boy walked up to Ji Ruochen, looked at Ji Ruochen's eyes, and muttered in a voice that was almost like a dream: "Your eyes are really strange...... They are cold, warm, and yang. It's rare to see a living soul with yang energy here. Do you know what happened to them? They're all suffering in hell now!"
Xiao Zhong stroked Ji Ruochen's face and continued: "And you saw me, and you didn't even ask my name! My name is Yutong, and you will never forget this name in the future." But you are different from those creatures, I like your eyes and I hate yours, and now I will dig them out and hang them at the head of my bed, so that I can see them often, and you can see ......me all the time."
Ji Ruochen only felt that two cold fingers covered his eyelids, but he couldn't hear what this little boy was still talking about, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest. You also knew that to determine the merits and demerits of the world, you must cut off the past and present lives, and to push the cause and effect of good and evil, but you still said so lightly that the nine-hundred-year-old hell cut off all his vitality.
Ten years of forbearance, for what?
Yu Tong laughed hysterically, and his two fingers were hard to dig out Ji Ruochen's eyes, he could even imagine the warm and wet pleasure at the moment when his fingertips were inserted!
However, his two fingers were empty!
Yu Tong saw that Ji Ruochen and the group of bull-headed giant ghosts were getting smaller and smaller, and then he realized that he was flying towards the sky, and then there was a heart-rending pain from his crotch, which was almost no worse than the pain he had suffered in his previous life!
Ji Ruochen's body flashed with a flash of flames, causing the surrounding cow heads to scream for a while, and he hurriedly let go of his arm. As soon as Ji Ruochen was free, he immediately snatched a giant axe from the bull head next to him, and with an axe in his hand, he had already disemboweled the bull head that grabbed the chain around his neck!
Ji Ruochen's body was full of green flames, and he carried an axe like the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he had cut down all his six bull heads to the ground. Succeeding so easily, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, secretly thinking that the skills of these bull heads were too weak, and they could also be the pawns of King Ping. As he was thinking, a strong wind suddenly pressed down on his head, forcing him to barely breathe for a while! It turned out that a giant ghost had rushed forward and slashed at him with the one-foot-thick ghost head knife!
Seeing that the giant ghost is six feet tall, Ji Ruochen will not be stupid enough to do that mantis arm to block the car. He only used a black steel giant axe, and his body had given way to the right. Sure enough, in front of the giant ghost's ghost head sword, the black steel giant axe of the bull's head was like a toothpick, and it was cut into two pieces lightly and skillfully, and only a four-foot-long axe handle remained in Ji Fangchen's hand. As soon as the axe was gone, Ji Ruochen felt that the axe handle was used as desired. He stepped up his legs, circled behind the troll like a puff of smoke, and struck down with the handle of his axe!
The giant ghost's body was really too tall, and Ji Ruochen jumped in the air, but it was only to its waist, and it was a stick with heavy black gas wrapped around this shackle, and finally landed on the giant ghost's waist.
The giant ghost received this weak stick, and suddenly let out a miserable cry that shook the four wilds, and then although the lower body was still erect, the upper body was tilted to the side, and he fell softly, obviously the lumbar vertebrae had been broken.
Ji Ruochen didn't need to see it, he could already know the ending of the giant ghost from the screams. He looked at the bull heads that were stacked in front of him, and suddenly shouted loudly, and lifted the stick!
If a gust of wind passes through the heads of the bulls......
The plopping sound sounded one after another, and one after another the bull heads slowly fell, unable to get up again. Ji Ruochen's figure slowly emerged ten zhang away. He didn't look back at the results just now, he just started with all his strength and galloped away.
"Chase! Don't chase yet!" Yu Tong woke up at some point, and angrily instructed the minotaur to ride after him, and then he also jumped on a ghostly horse, rode with the knight, and chased in the direction of Ji Ruochen's escape.
On the vast black plain, Ji Ruochen was galloping. The frequency of each step is the same as the previous one, but the distance between each step is constantly increasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster. At this time, Ji Ruochen only felt that there was an extremely subtle and imperceptible power permeating the underworld, and he seemed to be running in water, and every movement would drive some of this power to wrap around him. It's strange to say, as long as he does the movements that he practiced hard day and night in the Dragon Gate Inn, he can feel this breath. If you change to another action, this effect will not be performed.
Ji Ruochen simply put down all the Dao methods he knew, and ran purely with the action footwork attached to the stick method taught by the shopkeeper, the speed became faster and faster, and the pursuers behind him gradually moved away.
In the high-speed running, Ji Ruochen's mind was also like electricity, thinking of many things that had been ignored before.
According to ancient records, the soul enters the Yellow Spring and does not turn back, and the place where the reincarnation of the six traces of sentient beings is in the tenth hall, so when he came, he was bent on going to Yandu, thinking that only there was a passage to return to the yang world, but if this was the case, why did the weak water ferryer extort himself from such a promise, could it be that he could get a glimpse of the book of life and death, and know when he would come to fulfill the covenant when he would die? Since Yin and the ghosts recognize themselves as living souls, then Yu Po should also know it, why do they still drink soup by themselves, and the weak water ferryers don't know it?
For a while, countless questions came, Ji Ruochen's head was as big as a fight, and he couldn't wait to grab the weak water ferryman and ask what was going on, but at this time, it was extremely difficult to return to the weak water, this underworld was vast and endless, and the black fog was everywhere, and when he came, he was pointing to the huge capital that could be seen thousands of miles away, and he was in a hurry to escape at this time, where could he still tell how much he could manage at one time, and get rid of the chasing soldiers first, and it was the right thing to leave this dangerous place.
A forest suddenly appeared in front of him, and the black mist that could be seen everywhere in the underworld surrounded it, and what made Ji Ruochen slow down and not dare to enter rashly was those plants that should have been well rooted in the soil, but they were actually a few inches from the ground, and the long aerial roots waved in the mist, as if they were alive.
When Ji Ruochen looked at it, he knew that there was something strange about this wood. He ran around the forest without hesitation, and sure enough, the pursuers behind him also followed, and he didn't dare to enter the forest at all.
The woods were not very wide, and in the blink of an eye he had bypassed them, and had gone on a little further, when he suddenly stopped.
The gushing weak water is in front of you. Looking at the waves from afar is like a willow leaf drifting with the waves.
It's just that after a moment's hesitation, the sound of hooves behind started again, and more than ten ghosts rode out of the fog, the bull's head and foot strength were slow, and they hadn't yet arrived at the moment, as for the remaining three giant ghosts, they didn't know where they were thrown earlier.
Ji Ruochen looked at the chasing soldiers, and then at the extremely strange forest in front of him, and suddenly turned around and picked up a stick to kill!
This time he ran, there was still a piece of dust under his feet, but the black fog from all directions was surging towards him like crazy, Ji Ruochen only ran out of dozens of zhang, and the black fog was already surging behind him, like a dragon!
Seeing his monstrous momentum, the people on the back of the horse under the ghost rider's crotch stood up, and even a few horses were not controlled by their masters, and they turned around and wanted to flee!
But how fast was Ji Ruochen's speed, which allowed them to escape? The black mist swept across the earth in an instant, enveloping these ghost riders in it.
There were no screams, no screams, only a continuous clatter and muffled noise.
Ji Ruochen stroked the handle of the black steel axe in his hand and slowly walked out to the other end of the black mist. To his surprise, there was still a ghost horse that slipped through the net. The rider had fled hundreds of zhang away, obviously the knight expected the enemy to take the lead, and Ji Ruochen turned his horse and fled as soon as he moved, so he could escape so far. From a distance, Yu Tong was sitting on that horse, and he also looked back.
Ji Ruochen let out a long laugh, pointed at the jade boy with the handle of the axe, and shouted, "Count you fast enough!"
Yu Tong was ashamed and annoyed, and a shrill cry came from afar: "Ji Ruochen, you don't want to be rampant! You escaped in front of you, but you can't escape my Yandu Immortal Cavalry with all your might, even if you are a living soul, how can it be so easy to leave the underworld." Our prince has approved your reincarnation book with a red pen again, so that you will not be reincarnated for thousands of years, and you will be imprisoned and suffer for thousands of years! You can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime!"
Ji Ruochen snorted, there are already four fierce stars in his life palace, and he is afraid of adding more money to the reincarnation book?
He pointed at the jade boy with the handle of the axe, and shouted: "As long as I don't die, one day I will return to the underworld, dismantle the Yama Palace, burn the thin reincarnation book of life and death, and then peel off your little thief and fry it for ten thousand years!
The more Yu Tong listened, the more shocked he became, he had been frightened by Ji Ruochen's bravery, he had heard that he had to tear down the Yama Palace, burn the book of life and death, those big things could not find him on his head, and he was secretly rejoicing, but the last sentence was impressive, and he was shocked, and he fell off the horse when he landed.
Ji Ruochen saw it from afar, looked up to the sky and smiled, and boarded the boat.
Yutong Zhang Huang got up and saw countless black fog rolling in front of him, and he didn't know how many Yin soldiers and ghost cars were coming in formation, obviously he had got the news and came to search for Ji Ruochen. He was happy and worried, happy because he had arrived by the mountain, but he could put Ji Ruochen to death, and he was worried that this time the horse was full of ugliness, and the capital was seen by the army of Yandu.
The jade boy looked at the weak water hatefully, but when he saw the waves, how could there be the shadow of Ye Qingzhou?
With a gloomy face, the jade boy shouted to the thousands of ghost pawns in front of him: "It's all waste! Come so late, people have already crossed the weak water! Who of you dares to cross the weak water to chase you, you, or you? I already know that there is something that I can't count on you! Go back to the city, and find out which ferryman dares to cross the river, and first throw charcoal on the mountain to roast for three hundred years! And notify the patrol river armor horse to see if they can catch up with him. ”
At this time, a ghost pawn said in a low voice: "Lord Jade Boy, it is not a trivial matter to be good at patrolling the city and horses, in case it is taken advantage of by the southern demons!"
Yu Tong's face sank, and the tower: "I naturally have to take care of everything, you just go and adjust it!"
The ghost pawn was only able to go, and he had to be ordered.
A light boat traveled through the weak water, and in the blink of an eye it had passed the wind and wave area.
The ferryman shook the oars and said, "Childe was really good just now!"
Ji Ruochen saw that he was shaking the oar in a hurry, and his expression was leisurely, so he asked: "I was the enemy of the ghost pawn in front of King Yan Duping just now, aren't you afraid that they will catch up?"
The ferryman smiled and said, "Childe is the first person in the underworld, and I still don't know anything." The underworld is so vast that the land where the capital is based is only one or two out of a hundred. This surging weak water is the natural barrier of the capital of Yandu, and the vast world outside the weak water is actually not under the jurisdiction of the capital of Yandu. The so-called underworld in Gongyu's words also refers to the weak water, the inner and outer parts of the capital. The underworld is an ordinary Yin soldier and ghost, and he does not dare to act outside the weak water when he is idle. It is said that under this realm, there is another infinite and vast realm, which we all call Huangquan. However, there is no way to know what the Yellow Spring looks like. ”
Ji Ruochen didn't expect the underworld to be so vast, he thought back to the huge wall that was far and wide, and then looked at the surging weak water, it was so vast that it was only one of the hundred, not to mention that under the underworld, there was another yellow spring!
Expansiveness is also a kind of majesty.
In front of the majesty of heaven and earth, he finally had a sense of awe.
Ji Ruochen remembered something again and asked, "If you take me across the river, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
The ferryman smiled and said: "I was originally the former judge of the palace of the king of Biancheng, because I insisted on sentencing a person who had a long-cherished fate to be imprisoned in accordance with the law, so I offended the king of Biancheng and was sent to be a ferryman on weak water." We ferrymen are tied to this ferry, and if we want to be free from samsara, we can only be killed by someone, and the person who killed us will become a new ferryman. Therefore, all the ferrymen will do everything possible to see the little time when the patrol horse is not on the left, and make it difficult for the dead soul who has a little strength to cross the river, in order to get a relief. It's just that the ferryman can't do it first, and if this dead soul can't bear it and refuses to do it, we have nothing to do. Alas, there is not one in ten thousand dead souls that can free the ferryman, and most of them refuse to fight, and even if they can fight, most of them are dead souls who fall into enough water and cannot be reborn forever. ”
The ferryman pointed to the weak water with slight waves, and said, "Look, the hundreds of millions of dead souls in this weak water are all there." ”
Xu is the reason why he has gathered a lot of invisible yin qi in the underworld just now, and at this time, Ji Ruochen's eyesight is much better, and he can penetrate the weak water for thirty zhang at a glance.
As far as the eye could see, in the gray underwater world, there were dead souls struggling and floating, their faces pale and swollen, and their torsos so faint that they were almost transparent!
Rao is Ji Ruochen's concentration is outstanding, and when he looks at it, he can't help but feel a little dizzy.
The ferryman continued: "There are eight main roads in the weak water, and the souls of the eight directions are divided. There are 360 ferrymen on the whole weak water, and I was sent to such a remote place, so that I could never be freed, so how could I be afraid of any trouble? ”
Ji Ruochen was stunned: "After killing you, won't I have to become a ferryman?"
The ferryman shook his head and said: "How can Childe be the same as an ordinary dead soul? Childe has yang energy, and the opportunity in the world is not over, but it is a living soul, and you can attract the qi of Huangquan, and you are not governed by the rules and regulations of the prefecture at all." If it weren't for this, how could the ghost pawn of the King of Equality be dispersed by the prince? Ordinary dead souls are naturally under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and they will not be able to move for a long time if they are drunk. ”
The light boat shook slightly, and it turned out to have touched the shore.
Ji Ruochen left the boat and landed on the shore, holding the handle of the black steel axe, and looked at the ferryman. As soon as his five fingers tightened, a faint black aura immediately converged towards the handle of the axe. The ferryman was overjoyed, said slowly, straightened his chest, and straightened his clothes.
After a while, he finally straightened his clothes, muttered something in his mouth, bowed to each of the four directions, and then stood up in the ferry, and said with a smile: "Childe doesn't know, we ferrymen have the same news, and I will finally be liberated today, so I can accept their congratulations." Ah, there are two things that the prince must know, one is that the ferryman on the main road south of the weak water was also liberated yesterday, I heard that the person who killed him was the same as Gongyu, and he was also a living soul with yang energy, but it was just a woman, and it was fierce. Hehe, I didn't expect to say hello to him, and it was my turn. Second, the vast world beyond weak waters is not within the jurisdiction of the underworld. The place where we are is in the south of the capital of Yandu, and the demons of this vast southern realm are still far from being comparable to the ghosts and soldiers of the underworld. The lord of the demons of the south is called the Stygian Wind, and I heard that it can cause thousands of miles of yin fire with a long roar, and its power is boundless. Childe is always careful. That's all I say, take care all the way. ”
After that, the ferryman sat cross-legged, lowered his eyes, and waited for relief.
The handle of the axe in Ji Ruochen's hand trembled slightly, and he let out a low groan. He didn't hesitate any longer, and jumped in front of the ferryman, the black gas on the handle of the axe, with pieces of afterimage, and instantly clicked on the ferryman's chest. Ji Ruochen was like a volley, circling around the light boat for a circle, and then fell back to the shore. He didn't look back, dragged the handle of the black steel axe, and in an instant he was far away.
The ferryman whispered, "Thank you...... Childe is complete. He lowered his head slowly, and did not move.
There were slight ripples on the weak water, and the ripples carried the light boat slowly towards the middle of the river, and finally disappeared in the depths of the clouds.
PS: New year, new atmosphere, I wish you all the best in 07!
