Chapter 29: The Netherworld and the Blue Sky Disappear
The Gate of Ghosts, which exists in the depths of the Netherworld and represents the boundary between life and death to some extent, actually appears in the Yang world!
Since then, the thick fog that never dissipates has been explained. The fog is not man-made, but the natural cohesion of the laws of heaven and earth.
Because the underworld and the blue sky cannot meet each other. When the gate of hell appears in the world of the sun, it must be covered up.
The wandering souls gathered here, which were far more than the number of living people in Xiaolin Town, suddenly had a reason for their appearance. The wandering souls moved closer to the ghost gate. This was an instinct that had nothing to do with sanity. The entire Maple Forest City area
The wandering souls are probably gathered here. And it is foreseeable that as long as this ghost gate still exists, the gathering of wandering souls will only become more and more powerful!
But why did the Gate of Hell appear here?
Wei Yan almost did not hesitate. After understanding the meaning of the three words "Ghost Gate Pass", he took out a bright red incense stick with an ancient style from his arms and handed it to Zhao Lang, "Quick!"
Of course he carries flint with him, and he is no stranger to the art of fire. But after all, he is not as fast as Zhao Lang.
Needless to say, they have partnered with Wei Yan for many years and have a tacit understanding. At the same time as the bright red incense was handed over, Zhao Lang had already rubbed his fingers together, and a cluster of flames jumped up on the incense, and in a very short period of time, he burned the incense.
The tiny incense burnt out.
It was only then that he said with an ugly face: "You only have this red letter on your body."
The incense in Zhuang Guojun is divided into three types: black, red and yellow. They can only be owned by people with a certain status. They are rare strategic items. Once the black incense is burned, the whole country fights to the death. There are not many people in the entire Zhuang country who are qualified to burn the black incense.
indivual.
When the yellow letter is burned, it means that the person who burned the letter is in dire straits.
The red letter between the two represents the danger of destroying the city and losing the land!
Once the red letter is burned, the entire Maple Forest City will be shaken, and it will even alarm Wei Quji.
Now that both the City Guards and the Criminal Investigation Department in Maplewood City have been restrained, Wei Quji is sitting in the city lord's palace, and his whole body is affected by a single move. Is it worth it in a Xiaolin Town where no enemies other than Wandering Souls have appeared so far?
Will Wei Quji come in person? In other words, if Wei Yan makes a mistake in judgment, what problems will occur in Maplewood City due to Wei Quji's dispatch? Can he bear this responsibility?
But there is no need to think about these questions, in front of those three words.
Because...that is the gate of hell.
Appearing in countless legends, it is vaguely the epitome of the mythical age.
In fact, when the shadow of the red letter suddenly ignited in front of him, Wei Quji, the majestic lord of the city, stood up without hesitation!
He rushed high into the sky, his whole body wrapped in a hurricane, and roared towards Xiaolin Town.
Almost at the same time, Dong A, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes. No matter when, there must be a strong man of this level in Maplewood City. Now that Wei Quji has gone, he cannot leave again.
Others did not move, but the majestic voice had already come out of the room, "Instruct all the disciples who can be notified, no matter what tasks they are performing or what they are practicing, to stop immediately and return to Maplewood City!"
It is true that the Taoist Academy cultivates the hope of Zhuang State, and there is a long process of growth before that. But when the country is in danger, everyone must fight for it.
Song Qifang, the current vice-president of the Taoist temple, was sitting cross-legged in front of an alchemy furnace, shaking a cattail leaf fan in his hand and taking care of the heat. He let out a very low sigh, "Old man."
…
In Xiaolin Town, Wei Yan did not pause after lighting the red letter. Instead, he immediately slashed with his long sword. The sharp sword light almost cut through the air, and then dissipated on the archway.
Yes, it just disappeared without a trace.
The same was true for the next attack. Whether it was fire or strong wind, any Taoist technique hit by it would be in vain. Ling He even threw his own sword, but it also disappeared without a trace.
It's as if it doesn't exist, not only does it not exist, but everything that touches it doesn't exist either.
Huang Azhan stood in front of the gate of hell and hesitated for a long time. He had a very persistent confidence in his boy's urine, but after seeing that Linghe's sword also disappeared, he chose to give up with great regret.
"This whirlpool... should be connected to the Netherworld. With so many people here who died in vain... our attacks all fell in the Netherworld, not in the present world." Wang Changxiang frowned and analyzed: "The ones who appeared in front of us
This, this should be the reflection of the ghost gate, and even the reflection has not been condensed."
Not condensed?
Jiang Wang had seen the font on the plaque in Taixu Illusion, and knew that it was Taoist text, a text that expounded the laws of heaven and earth. He had been thinking about what the ghost gate that appeared in Xiaolin Town represented, until he heard Wang Changxiang's analysis
, he was shocked.
So, when will the real reflection of the gate of hell be condensed, and in what way? And what will it ultimately bring to this place?
People soon had the answer.
It was the countless wandering souls that permeated Xiaolin Town, killing and exterminating them all the way. But at this moment, they swarmed in and gathered in the center.
The group of people could no longer care about anything else. They could only repeat the old trick. After retreating for a certain distance, they used the fire technique to draw a circle, and everyone enclosed the ground to defend themselves.
If someone could penetrate the fog and look down from the sky, he would be able to see countless wandering souls rushing over under the attraction of some kind of force. The mighty river of wandering souls would flow like hundreds of rivers into the sea!
The disciples from Maple City Taoist Academy, as well as Wei Yan and Zhao Lang, were like bitter rocks washed away by the river.
Can't move, can't resist, and don't know the end!
"The wandering souls from the entire Maple Forest City are attracted here. Maybe they will die here?" Wang Changxiang smiled bitterly.
These wandering spirits are not very powerful at first. They could come and go freely in the formation before. But the premise is that those wandering spirits only wander around mindlessly and attack instinctively when strangers approach. Now these wandering spirits are gathering in one place.
, but they happened to be blocking the road.
There are so many, almost endless!
At least in Wang Changxiang's barely blown vision, they did not see the end of the wandering soul.
What they don't know is that if previously this place only gathered the wandering souls of the dead in Xiaolin Town over the years, and at the same time attracted scattered souls from further away, now it is that the wandering souls of the entire Maplewood City area are gathering here.
Coming. At a speed far exceeding what they can achieve on their own.
The dense threads of wandering souls cutting through the sky formed a cobweb-like sight in the entire Maple Forest City, a sight that moved countless strong men.
"No." Wei Yan's voice was a little cold, and so was his heart, "The city lord will be here soon."
No one knew how much he didn't want to light the red letter, and didn't want that person to see him looking weak and asking for help. But he couldn't. Faced with such a legendary existence as the Gate of Hell, he couldn't risk his entire life for his own self-esteem.
The safety of Maplewood City.
Jiang Wang also stared at the wandering souls who whizzed around the "rock" and rushed towards the gate of hell, only to be absorbed and digested in an instant. His mood was complicated and indescribable.
These wandering souls are probably unconscious. Therefore, there is no struggle, no howling, and there seems to be no regrets or pain.
But they were all once living people. They were all souls of the living who should have rested in peace!
Among them, there may be someone who has passed by him, or someone he has known, or his neighbor, his grandparents, or his father.
He opened his eyes wide and looked for his father, who was dying of illness in the dense crowd of wandering souls. The man who was not tall but had always supported his sky.
Those wandering souls disappeared in an instant, passing by like lightning and flint, and appeared in all directions. He only stared at the direction from Fengxi Town. His eyes were so red that he couldn't see them at all.
He had been living alone, and he didn't want to show his vulnerability. Later, when he lived with An An, he had to be strong as an older brother. He almost never said it, but really, he missed him so much!
Jiang Wang wanted to take another look at him, but he was so afraid of seeing him.
I'm so afraid of being helpless in front of the gate of hell.
Suddenly, it seemed that a certain critical point had been reached, and the mighty river of wandering souls was instantly emptied by some kind of power. And the shadow of the ghost gate above the whirlpool was extremely clear and specific.
In the next moment, the lord of Maplewood City, Wei Quji, was wrapped in a hurricane and fell from the sky. But the shadow of the ghost gate also disappeared in a flash at the same time!
Jiang Wang vaguely seemed to feel a wisp of breeze blowing on his cheek, but after a flash of consciousness, everything in front of him changed.
The huge whirlpool disappeared, and the fog that gathered in Xiaolin Town immediately dispersed.
Everything has dissipated, the underworld and the blue sky have disappeared!
