Chapter 108 The Six Paths of the Netherworld Today
Siyu followed closely behind the madman, and the two of them walked a large circle around the wild mountain forest and came to an ancient tree.
This tree is really old. Siyu saw that most of the trees here are big trees hugged by two people. Although they are more than a hundred years old, they are not too old after all. As An Xiaoyuan said, the trees here are
Trees are also planted by outsiders, but the old tree in front of us is really too old.
Under the tree, the roots are intertwined and stacked powerfully. The old vines are deeply dug into the bark of the old tree, leaving deep marks. The palm-sized leaves spread out overwhelmingly, with a terrifying momentum.
The madman picked up a branch from the ground, jumped under the old tree quickly, and lit the tree root protruding from the body irregularly. When the wooden stick hit the root of the tree, it hit a powerful "clang clang"
"Voice.
When Siyu was about to ask what the madman was doing, the old madman had stopped what he was doing, and his two withered old hands retracted into his red robe again, standing still.
Seeing the lunatic weathering on the top of the mountain once again, Siyu was a little puzzled. Just when he was about to ask, he saw that the roots of the tree that the lunatic had just clicked began to change.
Those vigorous and powerful roots lying on the ground suddenly seemed to come alive, turning up and down. What was even more surprising was that although the tree roots were turning, the soil on the ground did not change at all, as if those tree roots were just a shadow, reflected in the
Just on the ground.
Those tree roots kept changing, and after intertwining into a network in the air, they began to slowly spread out to both sides, and slowly converged into an arch.
When the arch was completed, Madman smiled and motioned for Siyu behind him to follow him in.
But Siyu discovered that behind the arch made of entwined tree roots was the old tree. If he entered, he would only be hit by ashes.
The madman's next move once again awakened Siyu's old thinking. The madman walked straight into the arch as if there was nothing else around him. The next moment, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the old tree in the arch, but the madman was so relaxed.
passed through the ripples and disappeared into the old trees.
"Why don't you come in yet?"
The madman's voice faintly hit Siyu's ears. Siyu was stunned, and hurriedly walked into the archway. Looking at the old tree in front of him, Siyu closed his eyes, but his steps continued.
Siyu only felt that he passed through a cool twilight air, and then felt that the surroundings suddenly darkened, and then lit up again. Siyu opened his eyes in time and found that he was already in a small room, with the four walls of the room
A torch was inserted to illuminate the place. But behind him, only a thick stone wall was left.
"This is?"
"Haha, it's just a small cover-up, no one here will know."
After the madman finished speaking, he took off a torch on the wall and motioned for Yiyu to take one as well. Then he took the lead and walked down the stairs leading to the bottom of the room.
Siyu hurriedly followed. The tunnel below was eerily quiet, and even his own footsteps seemed to be drowned by the silence.
Outside the stone chamber, the arch with entangled tree roots began to move again. After a while, it writhed and lay quietly on the ground again, as if nothing had happened.
…
The tunnel spiraled and led all the way underground. Siyu kept walking at the same pace as the madman, with his head lowered. The resin was burning on the torch, emitting a pungent smell. The two of them didn't know how long they had walked, but they only knew that they were round and round.
Most of the resin has been lost.
Just when Siyu was about to lose his patience, the madman finally changed his pace a little, turned a corner, and the unchanged stairs finally disappeared, replaced by an open space with three tall gates standing opposite the open space.
On the top of the three doorways, four big characters were written with blood-red paint. Siyu didn't know what the characters were, but he felt that the four big characters were eerie and terrifying, weighing heavily on his heart and making him breathless.
"Old-timer, where is this place?"
"Six Paths of the Netherworld!"
"Six Paths of the Netherworld? But there are only three cave entrances here!"
The madman glanced at Siyu and thought he was a bit talkative. "What do you know? This is the place that took me a hundred years to find."
Siyu looked at the three gloomy doorways in front of her and felt a little scared.
"Are you scared?" The madman looked at Siyu's expression in amusement, and couldn't help but want to hit him.
"I'm... not afraid, I just don't know where this place is? Why did you bring me here?"
The madman turned to look at the three dark doorways and sighed for a long time: "Actually, I have settled here for a hundred years just to find a secret here...
Legend has it that once upon a time, there was an immortal who defied the heavens and defeated an army of 100,000 immortals and demons. At the beginning of the war, this immortal came to this planet and planted a seed. According to legend, whoever can obtain this seed will be able to directly step into the planet.
The highest realm of martial arts is for this seed. I have been staying on this planet and searching for it all day long."
When the madman narrated these words, his eyes did not show much excitement, but only a dull loss. Siyu was secretly wondering, there must be a story in this.
"and after?"
"Later...I met my love and destiny here..."
The lunatic said this in a shocking way, and his dim eyes suddenly burst into light, "She is a beautiful woman. We felt like old friends when we met, and we quickly fell in love with each other. We even made an appointment to live in seclusion in the mountains in the next life.
.But I didn’t expect that her purpose of approaching me was also for the legendary seed.
So, under her guidance, the two of us continued to search hard, and finally one day more than a hundred years ago, we found this place..."
The madman's pupils gradually expanded, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
"That day, we were all extremely happy. After many years of hard work, we finally paid off. And she, like a child, clapped her hands and hugged me. I will never forget this feeling in my life. At that time, we were wandering here
I turned around and saw the four big characters above my head. This character is a kind of character in the second space. Both of us can understand it. At the beginning, like you, neither of us knew why there were only three door openings.
, but I just want to call it the ‘Six Paths of the Netherworld’!”
"Then what?" Siyu quickly asked.
The madman sighed and continued with a bitter voice: "At that time, there was a disagreement between me and her for the first time. Maybe it was because I was blinded by love, so I gradually lost my enthusiasm for the legendary seed.
, I just wanted to live with her peacefully, but she refused to give in. She must find out the secret here. It was also at that moment that I gradually saw her inner passion for that seed."
"Why do you disagree?"
The madman raised his head and glanced at the four big characters, then whispered: "It's very simple, I think this place is too dangerous and not worth going in. And she insists on going in to see what's going on."
"The results of it?"
"In the end, we all entered, but in the end, I was the only one who came out..."
