The two dark-skinned men glanced at Su Bai with interest in their eyes and just nodded: "Let's go slowly."
Subai finally knew that they had officially entered the Netherworld. This gate was the entrance to the Netherworld. These two men, who looked like they had been soaked in coal, were the gatekeepers. No wonder they were familiar with grandma.
Bai Chang was very pleased to see that Su Bai obeyed his words and came all the way without saying a word. This child's self-control ability was pretty good.
After entering the netherworld, Su Bai saw ten paths extending out. He pulled his grandmother, and Bai Chang whispered: "There are ten halls of Yama here. After the ghosts enter here, they are assigned to each of the ten halls according to different circumstances during their lifetime.
From here, the ghost enters the palace where he is going to be interrogated. As the saying goes, there is no retribution. Gods and ghosts have arrangements. However, these have nothing to do with us. What we are going to see now is Po Meng."
On the ten trails, there are numerous ghosts marching in. They are old and young, male and female. Some have their tongues hanging out, and they are obviously hanged. Some have chests cracked with blood stains still outside.
, they looked like they had died violently, and there were also some sick ghosts. The most distressing thing was the young children, some of whom could not walk yet and were still babies, crawling on the path leading to the Tenth Hall...
Of course, in addition to these abnormal deaths, there are also some old people with more peaceful faces. These are all long-lived old people who have died of a normal life. Their expressions are calm just because they are going to another hall. Su Bai estimates that they don't need to
What kind of torture was he subjected to in the underworld?
On every trail, there were guards who were responsible for guarding them. They were holding special iron chains in their hands. Subai later found out that they were called soul-locking chains. Each chain had spikes on it. If someone resisted and wanted to leave,
A ghost can be hooked with just a flick, making it impossible for it to break free.
Seeing a stranger coming, the ghosts were all nervous. Being angry would irritate the ghosts. They all looked at Bai Chang, who understood that these ghosts were different from themselves. They were real ghosts, and both he and Su Bai were.
The living people breathed out fresh breath. A ghost had already turned around to find the two of them, causing a small commotion. Bai Chang quickly pulled Su Bai to the side and waited for the ghosts to calm down before pulling Su Bai along.
Go to a more secluded place.
The person they wanted to see was Meng Po, but the way there was not among the ten trails. Bai Chang took Su Bai to the edge of the trail. Bai Chang said: "We are in a hurry and take a shortcut from Luofu Mountain."
past."
Luofu Mountain is in the south of the Netherworld. There is a suspension bridge across the mountain. Walking from here, you can reach the Wangchuan River where Meng Po is. However, the suspension bridge is across the mountain. It sways left and right when there is no wind.
The wooden boards looked rotten. Su Bai took one look at it and cursed in his heart. Do you dare to try something easier?
Bai Chang was very nimble and had already started to cross the bridge. She stepped on the wooden board step by step very skillfully. She didn't hear the movement behind her and immediately turned around: "Still coming over?"
Su Bai still closed his mouth tightly, and Bai Chang smiled and said: "No ghost will come here, you can speak now."
"Huh..." Subai first breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "It's amazing, there are so many ghosts that come to the Netherworld every day."
Su Bai stood here and looked down. The ten paths below were densely packed. Bai Chang said: "These are just ghosts who consciously came to the underworld, but there are still many wandering ghosts outside who are unwilling to leave."
In the Yang world, this is also the reason why Yin difference exists. Well, don’t look any further, Po Meng is waiting for us.”
Su Bai finally stepped onto the wooden bridge. The rotten-looking wooden boards were firm and tight under his feet. This dispelled Su Bai's doubts. He quickened his pace to keep up with his grandmother's pace. He was two-thirds of the way across the bridge.
At that time, Su Bai saw the blood-red color from a distance, as bright as blood, shining under his feet.
"Are those flowers from the other side of the world?" Su Bai murmured, "What a beautiful color."
"Although beauty is beautiful, it is also poisonous." Bai Chang said: "But I guess this is the most impressive scenery that all ghosts have seen before reincarnation. The juice of the other shore flower is also the most important ingredient in Meng Po soup."
Although the two of them were talking, the speed of their feet did not slow down at all. After passing Luofu Mountain, they really arrived at Wangchuan. At the foot of the mountain, there was a female ghost looking nervously here. When she saw Bai Chang, she was already there.
He came to greet him anxiously: "Bai Chang, you are finally here. Is this Su Bai?"
Seeing Po Meng, Su Bai's jaw almost dropped. Didn't he say that Po Meng was an old woman? But is there such a beautiful old woman? She did have a head full of silver hair, but the skin on her face was so smooth that she could pinch water.
, the facial features are also extremely gentle and kind, just like Guanyin!
"How's the matter?" Bai Chang asked.
"In the past two days, Wu Xian has been yelling without stopping for a moment. He yelled for me to give him soup. He clearly knows that the current soup has no effect on him at all. This is provocation." Meng Po sighed.
He took a breath and said, "It's been thousands of years, and I'm really tired."
"I understand." The relationship between Bai Chang and Po Meng seemed to be quite close: "Now that Su Bai is here, just tell me how you want to cooperate."
"The King of Hell has an order to make Wu Xian's soul fly away. You also said that Su Bai's scale-reverse power must be stimulated by the outside world before it can work. I have been thinking about how to stimulate Su Bai..." Meng
Po glanced at Su Bai, suddenly reached out and pulled off the necklace from his neck: "I think this is the only way."
Bai Chang understood immediately: "You..."
"Bai Chang, I'm sorry. I know this blood amber is very important to you, but whether I can get it back now depends on Su Bai." Po Meng held the blood amber in her hand and looked into Bai Chang's eyes.
Painful and apologetic inside, she began to hesitate in her heart...
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely get it back." Seeing Bai Chang's painful expression, Su Bai felt a force growing in his heart: "Grandma, I will definitely get the blood amber back."
Bai Chang took a deep breath: "Okay, I believe you."
Po Meng walked at the front with the blood amulet. She led the two of them towards a house by the Wangchuan River, where she used to make soup. As soon as she approached, Su Bai heard someone yelling and cursing inside:
"Meng Po, get the soup, get the soup! If you don't get the soup, you will destroy me. I want to see the King of Hell, I want to see the King of Hell!"
This guy, already in this field, was still domineering. Po Meng just let out a long sigh and pushed the door open. She first saw the big steaming soup pot in the room. It was still making a gurgling sound inside, and the soup had already boiled.
But no ghosts came. It was obvious that the Netherworld had made preparations in advance. I was afraid that after today, Po Meng would be very busy, and the ghosts would all be waiting to drink soup.
Wu Xian was tied to the pillar beside the pot, and his whole body was tightly wrapped with a soul-locking chain. I don't know what the soul-locking chain was made of, but it could actually penetrate the ghost's body directly. Therefore, What Su Bai saw was that Wu Xian had many holes all over his body. He should be in pain because his teeth were chattering up and down, but he still cursed angrily: "Meng Po, why the hell did the King of Hell lock me up?" Here? Aren't you afraid that I will tell other ghosts that your soup is ineffective? Hahaha, I never thought that such a joke would happen in the underworld. How about you call this guy over now? Are you going to ask him to help you? Make soup?"
Po Meng said: "You have been reincarnated so many times, and you have passed smoothly every time. If you were willing to endure, you would not have ended up where you are today. Wu Xian, if you change your mind, I will plead with the King of Hell. Maybe, I can still give you a way to live."
"You want me, Wu Xian, to compromise with you? I have already compromised for a long time. In this life, in order to avoid you, I even went abroad. If you have the ability, destroy me. Otherwise, I will make a big joke out of you." Spread it out, otherwise, I will be reincarnated as a human again and still have to complete the unfinished business." Wu Xian laughed loudly: "You want to destroy me, come on!"
Seeing that he was stubborn, Po Meng said, "I'm only curious about one thing. When you were Wu Xian, what did you do to yourself before you died?"
"I won't tell you." Wu Xian said: "That's right, when I was the leader of the Ten Witches, before I died, I set up a witchcraft on myself. It's not that your soup has no effect, it's my witchcraft. The technique is too brilliant, the ghosts in the Netherworld are nothing more than this, haha!"
Bai Chang and Su Bai looked at each other. As the leader of the Ten Witches, this man was indeed worthy of his reputation. He actually left the Netherworld helpless.
Po Meng glanced at Bai Chang and showed the blood amber in her hand: "Do you know what this is?"
"Xue Po, Po Meng, are you bullying me for not even knowing Xue Po?" Wu Xian snorted.
Po Meng shook her head: "No, this is not just blood amber, this is something that can help you get out of the netherworld. Do you know what this means?"
Wu Xian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "How could you, Mrs. Meng, actually do such a thing?"
"Wuxian, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other. Since I took over here, we have dealt with each other every time you reincarnate. Don't you know who I am?" Po Meng said: "I never lie. , this piece of blood amber can open the door in Luofu Mountain for you, and you can leave from there. If you know witchcraft, you must know how to possess someone. There is no need for reincarnation, and you can continue your unfinished business."
"Oh, is this boy a gift you brought to me?" Wu Xian was extremely wary: "I don't believe it."
Su Bai said: "There is nothing unbelievable. I will leave here with you in a while. I came in here secretly. There is not much time. If you want to escape, you can only escape now. If you miss this village, you will not have this store." .”
"Why do you help me?" Wu Xian said, "I am not a three-year-old child."
"For Po Meng's sake." Su Bai said: "My helping you leave is two different things from my willingness to take you into the Dragon Vein Realm. You should know which is more important now. There is really no way to do it in the Netherworld now." They can destroy you, but they can fight a protracted war with you and imprison you all the time. In the worst case, it will take you forever. Think about it carefully, are you going to be imprisoned forever, or do you want to leave here?"
