Chapter 365: Falling Yellow Spring(1/3)
The land of that world is empty and desolate.
After a slight twist and chaos, Zong Gu opened his eyes again and was already in the underworld.
“…”
There was a dead silence around, nothing was left. It opened the boundary between the world and the underworld, and the daughter of the underworld who threw him in was gone, as if she had never appeared.
But they did appear, otherwise he would not have returned to this country of the underworld that had been wandering for two years.
"The taste of the yellow spring..."
A hating taste.
As soon as Zong Gu opened his mouth, strands of power from the underworld rushed towards him, pouring into his body, generating new power, sweeping away all the fatigue accumulated when he fought with several evil spirits.
"Ah, I am a citizen of Huangquan Kingdom."
Holding the knife's hand tightly, he could feel his strength being quickly recovered, and he didn't know whether he should be happy.
Standing there, he looked back and forth, and there was nothing.
Looking around again, I still could only see a dead silence.
This is the land of nothingness in the Yellow Springs. The power of the Yellow Springs is also very thin. There will be no spiritual body nearby. This is also the result of the intentional choice of the daughter of the Yellow Springs, in order to prevent the spirit bodies inside from taking advantage of the opportunity when opening the boundaries. Escape.
“…”
Taking a deep breath, Zong Gu closed his eyes and opened it again, and the scene around him still did not change at all.
He had ten thousand ways to prove that he was still awake at this time, and each way pointed to the same result: this was not a dream when he fell and fell into a coma.
He was really caught back to the underworld.
The tip of the knife was pressed against the ground, Zong Gu raised the blade slightly, tapped it on the ground twice, then lifted it up again, and chopped it down heavily.
bite!
This samurai sword had suffered a lot of damage during the slash against the evil spirit. At this time, he could not withstand the full force of his rage and directly broke into two pieces.
“…”
The long sword turned into a medium and short sword, and Zong Gu's anger disappeared halfway.
What we need to do now is not to vent, but to find a way to leave here and return to the world.
The only person who can save him is the owner here - the Lord of Huangquan, Yin Xie Namei.
The question is how to contact her in the underworld.
“Sure enough, no signal…”
When he put away his phone, Soya found that his hands were trembling, just like Akane Kirino and Akako who had just witnessed the murder of the evil spirit.
"It's fine."
He comforted himself, "Hongzi should have seen the process of my disappearance. Even if she couldn't understand, she told Ling, and Ling would understand that I was caught in the underworld and would definitely ask the teacher to save me... Well, it's okay. .”
Just wait for a while and let the news be passed to the Orange Emperor, and she will go into the underworld to save him.
Zong Gu forced himself to believe in this, and finally silenced the fear in his heart for a while.
"Why did it suddenly fail..."
He remembered the direct reason why he re-entered the Yellow Springs. He opened his palm and the eight-foot Qiong Goutiao appeared out of thin air.
And no matter how he controlled it, the magma in his palm was like a dead object and had no reaction at all.
"It's broken?"
Will the artifact also be broken? Or should he not have held it?
After holding it in his hand for a while, Zong Gu put the magma into his body again.
"I have to complain to Ling after I go out... I have to leave here first."
The Land of Nothingness is like an isolated island on the sea, with a small area and you can leave here no matter where you go.
Holding the broken knife tightly, Zong Gu found the half blade that flew out after the crack and walked towards the direction pointed by the tip of the knife.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, the power of the Yellow Spring gradually became richer, and some ancient broken walls appeared around them, and you could also meet spiritual bodies.
Because he didn't know which area he was in in the Yellow Springs, Zong Gu stopped a gentler spirit and asked, "Where is this?"
"If you're not blind, you should be able to see it."
He raised the blade and placed it on the neck of the inconsistent spirit.
"...It's the yellow spring." The other party suddenly became much gentler.
"I'm asking which area is southeast, southwest and northeast?"
"None of them, this is the Central Domain."
Zong Gu was stunned for a moment. The Central Domain is the area where the Huangquan Hall is located. As its name suggests, it is located at the center of the Huangquan Kingdom and is much smaller than the four areas surrounding it.
The underworld is vast and he has been wandering for two years. He has never set foot in the Central Region. He did not expect to appear here when he comes back.
Perhaps it would be easier for Emperor Ju to find himself by going to Huangquan Hall.
Thinking of this, Zong Gu asked, "Which direction is the Huangquan Hall?"
The spirit raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
"Thank you." Zong Gu put away his knife and walked towards the other side.
After walking for a while, he encountered another spirit body. He stopped the other party and asked the same question.
"What are you doing in Huangquan Hall?"
"Pray that Lord Yin Xie Namei will send me back to the world."
"Ha, it's so interesting." The other party pointed at the direction he came, "Here."
“…”
Sure enough, I was cheated.
He still confirmed, "Really?"
"What are you doing? The Central Domain is so big. If you walk here for four or five hours, you will definitely see the Huangquan Hall." The other party said, "If you don't believe it, I'll go with you."
Zong Gu had already believed it most, but he did not refuse.
"Then please."
The most lacking spiritual bodies in the Yellow Spring is time, because the power of the Yellow Spring is maintained, the speed of consciousness dissipation is extremely slow. The actual age of the spiritual bodies that look similar to him may be ten times or twenty or thirty times that of his.
.
Wandering around in the boundless underworld is the main tone of the spirits' "rest of life" and being devoured by evil spirits can be regarded as a thick and heavy color in the rest of life.
"Did you come to the Central Region for the first time, or have you just arrived in Huangquan?" the man asked.
"All of them." Zong Gu replied.
"Just dying?"
“…”
"That's going to disappoint you. Lord Yin Xie, who is no longer in the underworld."
Zonggu shook his head, "It's good to go and have a look."
"Okay, at least you still have some pursuits now." The spirit body walking with him called himself Zuo Zuomu, who looked only twenty or thirty years old, but in fact he had been dead for more than forty years. "Now I'll send you to the Huangquan Hall,
It's my pursuit."
"Thanks."
"Where did you come from this knife?" Zuo Zuomu cared a little about the weapons in his hand.
Soya also wanted to know where the evil spirits who attacked Birui Yamaguchi at night got these weapons and "picked them up."
"You'd better throw it away or hide it." Zuo Zuomu reminded, "Some spirits will mutate when they see this."
"It's okay." Soya smiled at him, "I have the confidence to keep it."
Zuo Zuomu didn't say anything, and not long after, Zong Gu proved this to him.
With a knife, he cracked the spirit body that was rushing towards him in half. He put away the knife, and Zuo Zuomu next to him looked at him for a while, "You don't want to kill me, right?"
"……Won't."
"You are really rare," Zuo Zuomu said, "For most spirits, killing thoughts are like a key. If you open that door, you can never close it again... You are really different from them.
”
Sonogu looked ahead, "Because I'm still alive."
Zuo Zuomu just thought it was his obsession and said nothing.
The two continued to walk forward, and more and more spiritual bodies were encountered on the way.
Some people turned a blind eye to them, some came to talk about it, and some tried to attack them, just like when he was wandering here half a year ago.
To be continued...
