After sharpening the sword and walking on those suspension bridges extending in all directions.
Mist began to drift around me.
The surrounding scene gradually distorted, lost color, and entered a world of only black and white...
This foggy black and white world is the underworld.
People walk deeper and deeper into the suspension bridge.
The fog floating on the river becomes thicker.
Later, the field of vision was somewhat affected, and the visibility was less than three meters.
Moreover, this suspension bridge extends in all directions and covers a large area. If you are not careful, you can easily lose your sense of direction in the fog, take the wrong path, and be unable to get around it no matter how you go around it.
The leader of the Teng Kingdom made full use of the terrain advantages here, combined the Dead Man's Sutra with these complex suspension bridges, and used the evil nature of the Dead Man's Sutra and the magic of Qimen Dunjia to create a maze of the underworld.
It is precisely because of this.
Chi Jian spent some time on the suspension bridge before reaching the other side, and then walked back again, preparing to take the old Taoist priest and the mourner brothers across the river to the other side, and then they met Jin An who came down to look for them.
Perhaps because sharpening a sword belongs to the constitution of a living person in the state of death, there is no danger in sharpening a sword in the underworld, but no one knows what will happen to living people who step into the underworld rashly.
"Is everything calm?"
"Nothing happened?"
Everyone looked at each other, this is really bad news.
Often the calmer the sea surface, the more violent storms are brewing. The unknown is the most dangerous.
"Now the only way is for the soldiers to cover up the water and the earth. We can't go back the way we came. Let's get ready. We will go up the suspension bridge to cross the river immediately." The captain was ready to leave immediately.
"Of course, we also need to make some preparations..."
"Daozhang Chen's corpse oil temporarily conceals the aura of the living person, deceiving the evil spirits in the underworld. There is also a little sword-cutting brother who is responsible for leading the way, finding the correct suspension bridge for us, and reaching the other side of the river safely."
"Amitabha and the poor monk don't need to temporarily cover the three fires with corpse oil. The Buddhist method practiced by the three of us can temporarily seal off the six senses and blind the spread of the mortal breath of the living body."
The abbot of Bailong Temple, wearing cassock, clasped his hands and said.
The six senses of Buddhism refer to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and consciousness respectively.
When everyone heard the words of the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple, they were puzzled at first, but then they all showed understanding.
Corpse oil is easy to use, but the smell is a bit strong. Folks like them don't have much prejudice against corpse oil.
Buddhism is pure.
After all, this corpse oil is a yin thing, a filthy thing, and conflicts with Buddhism.
The three abbots of Bailong Temple have taken the initiative to defile Buddhism, and I am afraid something bad will happen to them.
Everyone has no doubts about the strength of the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple. They believe that the three eminent monks must be confident that they would do this and would not just run off to die.
Next, the old Taoist priest took out a bottle of corpse oil from his Tai Chi Bagua bag, and began to apply a drop of corpse oil to everyone's shoulders and top of the head one by one, so as to temporarily cover the three yang fires of the person. Then, the group held torches.
, and finally stepped onto the suspension bridge.
Since there was a sharp sword leading the way, this time we simply didn’t send another person to explore the way, and just went to the bridge together.
Hiss!
"Brother, it's so cold!"
"The underworld is a place where yin energy gathers. We are now descending into the underworld with our physical bodies from the yang world, which is considered to have reversed the order of yin and yang. These yin qi are quickly consuming our physical bodies and our blessings in the yang world. There is a difference between yin and yang, which is like
Living people often stay with the dead, which will eventually reduce their longevity and merit. Just like dying suddenly, we must make a quick decision and get out of the underworld as soon as possible, lest it really affect our happiness and longevity in the earthly world!"
Perhaps it was because the Sutra of the Dead had so much background that the mourning brothers became serious about it.
And while they were talking.
A light layer of frost quickly condensed on the skin on the body, the outline of the ears, the hair, the eyebrows, the tip of the nose...
This is a sign that the yang energy of a living person is resisting the invasion of yin energy into the body.
As soon as Jin An stepped onto the suspension bridge, he immediately felt the taste of the two heavens of ice and fire. The yang fire in his body was like an oven, burning vigorously, and his blood was strong, but a deep chill came from the skin of his body. That chill was accompanied by a biting wind.
, it’s really hard to like.
The two mourning brothers continued to talk, and the one at the front looked dull as he was sharpening his sword. He glanced at the two mourning brothers blankly, and the two brothers immediately shut up.
The first taboo in the yin world: silence! Don’t make any noise!
Although this time it’s not a shady one.
But you can never go too far wrong.
Next, the group continued to walk deeper.
In fact, these suspension bridges are in serious decay.
Many of the wooden boards underfoot are rotten and riddled with holes. When walking, you need to be more careful to avoid missing a step and falling into the river.
Sometimes I even stepped too hard, and the already severely decayed wooden board was broken into several pieces. Plop, pop, a few pieces of broken board fell into the river at my feet. There was not even a splash of water. I don’t know how many pieces there were.
deep.
Fortunately, the people who went down to the Yinyi River to eliminate the Dragon King this time were all agile people. This occasional unexpected situation did not interrupt everyone's progress.
Suddenly.
The fog on the suspension bridge began to become thicker, and the field of vision began to become smaller.
The Sutra of the Dead breaks the blurred boundary between Yin and Yang.
Then use a suspension bridge to connect the Yin and Yang sides.
Make the underworld reflect into the yang world.
Living people in the earth can walk in the underworld.
This is not the real world of the underworld, nor the real world of the underworld, but a realm of chaos.
Gradually.
Waves of caressing sounds began to ring in my ears.
At first it was sporadic and scattered.
But as we went deeper and deeper into the suspension bridge, the surrounding fog became more and more dense, and the whispers in our ears began to increase in number.
At first it was a faint sound or two.
Later, there were angry curses from men, sobbing from wives, and calls from children. They seemed to be whispering something. You tried hard to hear it but you couldn't hear it clearly. On the contrary, when you tried hard to listen,
, contaminated by the emotions in the voice, gradually being seduced into falling into, either anger, sadness, or despair...
Xixisuosuo——
The voices continue.
On the suspension bridge, several faintly blazing torches, like a long winding snake, were dotted sporadically on the suspension bridge. The person walking in the front was sharpening his sword.
Um?
Jin An suddenly noticed that the torch in his hand suddenly went out and then lit up again. When the torch lit up again, the color of the torch was no longer orange-red.
Instead it became black and white.
The world of black and white is the world of the dead.
They have truly entered the scope of the Book of the Dead.
Jin An looked at the changes in his hands in surprise. The first half of the arm holding the torch had black and white skin, and the back half had normal skin color.
When Jin An retracted his hand, the flame of the torch in his hand dimmed and brightened again, returning to the orange flame of Nanmingli Fire.
Jin An tried this repeatedly several times, and he was amazed and very interested. If there were not many people blocking the back, Jin An could continue playing with interest.
Jin An temporarily put aside his curiosity and the team continued to move forward. The few orange torches on the suspension bridge also turned into cold and desolate black and white.
Cold and cold.
Just like this black and white cemetery.
Lifeless.
The team continued to move forward on the suspension bridge. The surroundings were too quiet, too dead, and there was nothing else except darkness and mist.
The team just walked across the suspension bridge for less than half a distance in the dark without incident.
Seeing that the journey was uneventful, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the corpse oil had some effect.
Just when the team was halfway on the suspension bridge, suddenly, without warning, on the river with a light mist, a thunderbolt shouted from behind the team: "Come back quickly!"
This sudden loud shout was like a slap in the face in the silent darkness, catching everyone off guard and sending chills all over their bodies.
Some people subconsciously turned to look behind them. As a result, the two mourning brothers suddenly started sobbing and crying: "Don't look back! This is the soul of the dead!"
Weepers, weepers!
It means there is a dead person going to a funeral!
but.
The reminders from the mourning brothers are over.
Plop!
There was a sound of falling into the water.
Someone jumped into the river.
The team that was walking in silence and orderly just now was now in complete chaos. Jin An couldn't help but cursed. In the chaos of facing unknown dangers and everyone being in danger, everyone was asking who jumped just now.
A river?
At this time, Jin An could not calm down anymore. He was looking for the old Taoist priest in a hurry. When he saw that the old Taoist priest had been following him closely and that the person who jumped into the river was not an old Taoist priest, he breathed a sigh of relief.
People are selfish.
Jin An never denied that he was a selfish person.
When facing danger, Jin An first cares about the people around him, and then saves other outsiders.
"It's Kuixing Kidou who's missing!"
In the chaos, everyone discovered that one person was indeed missing from the team, and it was Kuixing, the big man with an eyebrow who was kicking and fighting, who was missing.
"run!"
"There is something in the Jiuqu Huangquan Road under our feet that has disturbed us!"
The mourning brothers glanced at the dark direction behind the team with pale faces, and then anxiously asked Jiajian, which way is the right way?
Messy.
Complete chaos.
This time, they were tricked by the dead in the underworld, catching everyone off guard. Once they lost the opportunity, they fell into passivity at every step.
At this time, it was no longer realistic for them to hide.
I could only run away at full speed. I still had no time to worry about the three taboos of walking in the underworld, and no time to hide my whereabouts.
Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest could not run, so he simply picked up the old Taoist priest and ran wildly on the suspension bridge.
Fortunately, they had already walked half the distance, and they had a sword to lead the way in the foggy area. Although there was a little confusion along the way, they finally managed to escape the suspension bridge and successfully reached the other side.
If the sword-sharpening man hadn't been leading the way, it's not certain whether so many of them could have escaped from danger in the chaos just now.
When Jin An regained his feet on the ground, the black and white color of death on his body faded away, and he returned to the five-color Taoist robe of the human world.
When they were out of danger, everyone looked back at the suspension bridge behind them with lingering fear.
We were tricked by a dead man just now. We had to switch to another team. In that kind of chaos, the entire army must have been wiped out.
"Weeper, what happened just now?"
"Do you brothers know anything?"
After the initial shock, the captain looked at the mourning brothers with a stern face. He hadn't seen the Dragon King yet, but he had already lost so many people one after another.
The chaos just now happened so suddenly that no one could see clearly what happened behind them. They could only hear the voices of the two mourning brothers.
The two mourning brothers looked at each other with lingering fear at first.
Now think about it.
They were still a little shuddering.
If Kuixing hadn't turned around and looked behind him just now, the two brothers would be dead now.
He couldn't even parry Kuixing's kicks, but he was summoned away as soon as he came face to face with him. It was indeed the Sutra of the Dead, which could kill both the dead and the living.
"Everyone has heard of a rumor among the people, that is, calling the soul."
The brother in the white robe among the mourners looked at the direction of the suspension bridge behind him with some lingering fear.
"The purpose of calling a living person to save his life is to save his life. When a child or a person is at their weakest, they are most likely to be frightened and lose their soul. And if a person loses his soul, his soul will be incomplete, and he will either become stupid or spend the whole day
He is confused and sleepy. If the loss of consciousness is serious, he may not even survive the next day."
"But this is a living soul."
"The dead touch the ground, the ghost asks for directions, the living eats, and the dead call for souls. Do you know what it means to meet one of them? A breath of Yang Qi can kill someone!"
"The voice that suddenly called us on the suspension bridge just now is that there are souls of the dead in the underworld. If anyone turns back, his soul will be summoned away immediately. Then the dove takes over the magpie's nest and returns to the earth. I'm afraid there are evil spirits in the underworld.
, borrowed the body of Kuixing Kidou and landed..."
As the mourner talked, he also said rejoicing: "Fortunately, the dead here have been here for so many years and are no longer at their peak."
"Now he is no longer as powerful as he was at his peak. Kuixing Kickfight couldn't even block a face-to-face encounter and was directly called away. If we had put it in the heyday of a thousand years ago, I'm afraid that just now if it wasn't just one Kuixing Kickfight who called the soul away, we would all be defeated.
.Even if the whole army is not wiped out, more than half of the people will die."
After listening to the mourner's words, Jin An's first thought was that luckily nothing happened while sharpening the sword.
Thanks to the sharpening of the sword, it is the person who retrieves the corpse, and it is the sign of the living and the dead.
In the eyes of a dead man, sharpening a sword is a dead man.
The sudden death of Kuixing Kick Dou affected the morale of the team, but the elimination of the Dragon King still had to continue.
After reaching the other side of the river, there is an open terrain, and a majestic underground palace, even larger than the fake tomb above, is built in front of you.
"Is this the real tomb of the Lord of Teng Kingdom?"
"This underground palace is so big. It requires so much effort and effort, and wastes money and people, just to build a big coffin for people to die."
The old Taoist priest followed Jin An, carrying the captain on his back, and whispered.
If the imperial tombs of each dynasty and each generation were not built more magnificently than the last, the old Taoist priest would naturally not dare to say this in front of General Duwei, the official of the imperial court.
After getting closer, people stood on the green brick square in front of the underground palace and felt the majestic pressure. When they looked up at the underground palace, they realized that the momentum of the underground palace was far larger and more majestic than what they had seen before.
At this time, the mausoleum of the underground palace has been opened...
