Chapter 42: Secrets of the Underworld

Views:

The mist dissipated, and the gorgeous palace on the river gradually became clear in the wisps of water vapor. Magnificent, but with an air of decay.

This is what Yan Dan felt for a moment.

Liu Weiyang stood on the bow with his hands behind his back, and took out a string of dazzling colorful glass from his sleeves. Above the Yewang River filled with smoke and water, a dazzling and splendid halo suddenly rose. A gust of smoky wind blew, and the mist on the river dissipated in an instant. The waves on Yewang River were dotted, and the green mountains in the distance became more and more magnificent because of their clarity.

He exerted force on his hand, and the colorful glass shattered into pieces, and the shattered glass gradually turned into a faint figure. The figure floated on the water, his face was hazy, and he could vaguely see the mountains and rivers between his eyebrows.

That is the primordial spirit of the evil god Xuanxiang.

He flicked his sleeves and raised his hand to salute. Even his modest and courteous manner would teach people to feel that this man had a kind of superiority at all times.

Yan Dan thought to himself, how good and brave this Highness Xuanxiang was in those days, in fact, that was just his side. The reason why he destroyed the Demon Realm himself was because he didn't want to be pushed to the forefront of the dispute by his clansman. If you have to wait until the final situation where both sides suffer, maybe you should take a step back. After all, Liu Weiyang is his brother and his clansman. No matter how ruthless he is, he will not be able to kill his relatives.

Xuan Xiang stood on the water, the water waves under his feet were gentle, only a circle of shallow ripples rippled away. He looked at Liu Weiyang and slowly stretched out his hand, his sleeve slipped, revealing the deep scar on his wrist. In the magic phase, Yan Dan once dreamed that he opened his wrist, and every drop of blood turned into a blood eagle.

Liu Weiyang also stretched out his hand and shook his hand.

Xuanxiang smiled, still the kind of smile that was neither deep nor shallow, turned around and slowly walked away into the distance, gradually disappearing at the junction of Tianshui.

The hull of the ship suddenly trembled slightly, thinking that it had hit the stone steps that stretched all the way to the Yewang River from the Nether Palace.

The four got off the boat and stepped on the stone steps in the water.

The stone steps are paved with a whole block of marble, and the light can be seen, and the shape of the human figure is vaguely reflected.

Yan Dan still remembered to drag the boat to the right place. She was not the first time to come here. She knew that if there was no boat, they would have to swim to find the ghost gate and then return to the mortal world. tragic thing.

The group climbed the steps and saw that the bronze gate of the Underworld Palace was tightly closed, and the surroundings were unpopular, as if resisting the visit of strangers.

Yan Dan raised his head, looked at this majestic and luxurious palace, and felt a sense of awe in his heart for no reason.

The Nether Palace is the place where the ancient gods lived, and there are their fairy traces in every corner. A long time ago, the heaven and the earth were chaotic, and the sky and the earth were even connected. In this chaos, the first ancient god appeared. He was the Pangu Clan, known as the Chaos God. After the Pangu Clan opened up the heaven and the earth, they merged with the heaven and the earth, and the primordial spirit was destroyed forever. After him, the creation goddess Nuwa, Tianwu, Bi Fang, Jubi, Shuhai, and Zhuyin appeared one after another. And these ancient gods, like the Pangu clan, became part of the mountains and rivers in the torrent of time.

So far, no one knows how they created the world, and no one knows how deep their immortal power was back then.

As long as this bronze engraved door is opened, these mysteries will be revealed. When she was cultivating in the heavenly court, she had heard from several immortal monarchs who were very cultivated in Jiuzhongtian, saying that if you touch the mysteries in the underworld, it will be irreversible. Back then, the Goddess Nuwa carved a seal outside the Underworld Palace. As long as there was a fairy godmother to open the Underworld Palace, the immortal essence would be completely shattered, and there would be no transcendence forever.

This seal is not impossible to break, but no one has the courage to say that he already has more immortal power than Goddess Nuwa.

Liu Weiyang lowered his body, picked up a jade pendant with missing corners from the ground, and said lightly, "This is from Jidu Xingjun." He took this jade and looked at it for a while, and then said lightly: "The Nether Palace will feel it. There is a strong sense of decay somewhere. After the battle of the immortals and demons, Xuanxiang destroyed the demon realm, and the Nether Palace appeared there."

"My fellow Jidu Xingjun stood here. The door is engraved with the seal of Goddess Nuwa, and anyone with immortal energy can't open it. I didn't believe it at that time. I have been an immortal in heaven for thousands of years. Jun, I don’t think the immortal power of those ancient gods is beyond my reach.” Liu Weiyang sighed softly, “At that time, I was too focused on my own cultivation, I also thought that I had the ability to challenge the ancient gods, but in fact I was just a frog at the bottom of the well."

Yan Dan was heartbroken when he heard it: Liu Weiyang was the emperor of the Zixu Shengzhao in Tianji, and he can be regarded as the most capable person in the heavenly court. He is still a frog at the bottom of the well, so shouldn't she just destroy herself humanely

"I tried to unlock the seal at the entrance of the Nether Palace, but I touched the undead inside. That kind of situation is all I can think of now..." He lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Later, I was seriously injured and I left the Nether Palace. I fell down the stairs, and I could only hold on to the last step. At that time, the Hades was drifting back to Yewangchuan from the Demon Realm. If I let go, I would probably be pressed down by the Hades. The Hades itself I like the smell of decay and death, and at that time I had a decaying fairy energy." When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking.

Yan Dan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and suddenly a pair of squinting eyes appeared in his mind. That person told her that in this world, friends may not be able to share happiness, and enemies may not be friends. one day. She has always remembered it clearly, including the look in his eyes when he spoke, which was shockingly thin.

Yan Dan suddenly shuddered: "So you were pushed down, otherwise why would you fall into Yewang River and lose all your memories?" Liu Weiyang turned his head and looked at her calmly. "The one who pushed you down was... Jidu Xingjun." She recalled the thousand years she had spent in the underworld, and finally understood everything that had been lingering in her heart.

Liu Weiyang threw the jade pendant in his hand to her and whispered, "It seems that you have seen Jidu Xingjun too."

Yan Dan took the jade pendant, only to feel that the jade felt cold to the touch, and there was no air temperature on it: "I always thought that he was just a mortal named Zhao Huanqin."

"Zhao Huanqin is the name Jidu Xingjun used in the mortal world."

Yan Dan looked at the Wangchuan water filled with smoke and water below, threw the jade pendant in his hand into the water, and sighed slowly.

I just heard Liu Weiyang suddenly say: "These things have nothing to do with you, but since everyone is involved now, I should make it clear. Now, when it's time to part, I want to enter the underworld, and you still return to the mortal from the gate of hell. For a while, the Yin Qi here is very heavy, and it is not good to stay for a long time."

"What?" Yan Dan was taken aback, "But the last time you..."

Liu Weiyang shook his head slightly: "There are a lot of things I don't know, but I really want to know. If I lose my life for it, or if I have to retrace my past, it's worth it. Besides, I don't have a fairy spirit anymore. , does not belong to any of the six realms, just to be able to enter."

It turned out that it was time to separate.

no party last forever.

What's more, Liu Weiyang has always been very clear about what he is doing, and there is absolutely no room for others to talk about it. Thinking it was because of this, Tang Zhou and Yu Mo never spoke, just patted him on the shoulder and said goodbye.

Yan Dan didn't speak, but Liu Weiyang said lightly: "Yan Dan, now that I think about it, it's a pity that I couldn't admit you to me at the beginning."

Should this be a compliment

Yan Dan smiled slightly: "If this is the case, with a young, handsome and promising master like you, I will definitely fall in love with each other over time. At that time, you will have to accompany me to a ban on master and apprentice - ah, Tang Zhou , why did you hit me on the head?"

Tang Zhou withdrew his hand expressionlessly: "Do you think a young, handsome and promising immortal would accompany you to do such a boring thing?"

Pushing the boat into the Yewang River, he could still see it when he looked up. Liu Weiyang stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bronze gate. Slowly, the bronze gate opened.

Liu Weiyang walked in slowly, the gate of the underworld closed with a creaking sound behind him, and this magnificent and majestic palace with a decaying atmosphere gradually disappeared into the mist.

A black whirlpool appeared on Yewang River, and the boat couldn't stand the bumps and turned over with a bang.

Yan Dan struggled twice in the water, but finally reacted immediately, and said loudly to Yu Mo: "That vortex is the ghost gate to the mortal world. Quickly form a formation." Yu Mo's movements were faster, and he was just caught in the vortex. Above, a layer of barrier has been laid to protect the three of them inside.

After the vortex, there is a long, dark and dull stone road. In the dark and greasy water that was constantly pouring in, various stumps and broken arms floated up and down. On both sides of the stone road, there were constant ghosts screaming and screaming, and from time to time, tragic green ghost fires burned over.

Yan Dan took a deep breath and said hurriedly, "Don't touch the stone road on the side. Those are all evil spirits that came out of the six paths of reincarnation. They eat people and don't spit out bones."

Tang Zhou glanced at her: "Thank you for finding such a way."

Yan Dan became annoyed: "What do you mean? It's good to have a way to go, but you have to be picky and picky!"

Yu Mo pulled her arm around her desperately and said slowly, "I won't withdraw the barrier, you can let it go."

"No, there is a road ahead—" The enchantment was suddenly shocked, Yan Dan almost bit his tongue, and now he hugged even tighter. As expected, she remembered correctly. The road ahead was narrow and steep with nine twists and eighteen bends. The last time she fell down here, she couldn't recover for ten days and a half months.

Yu Mo subconsciously hugged Yan Dan tightly, but his eyes became more and more chaotic, almost blinded. The only thing that is clear is that the light on the top of the head is getting more and more dazzling.

Suddenly, the light in front of him suddenly brightened. Yan Dan only felt that his body was weightless, and he fell down with a thud. She stood up slowly, looked around, and breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily. Looking at the surrounding arrangement, she was still in the guest room of the inn. If it fell from the sky and fell on the street, it was impossible to guarantee that people would not throw stones as a monster.

I just heard someone below say coolly: "Can you get up now? I really don't like being ridden by others."

Yan Dan snorted: "Tang Zhou, it's a shame that you are still practicing Taoism. Even your words are so vulgar!"

"Then please don't sit on the lower body. If this attitude is seen, the reputation of the young lady will be ruined by the lower body."

He was only halfway through his sentence, and only heard two bangs. The door of the guest room was kicked open. There were three or five guards with knives standing outside. A middle-aged man wearing an ordinary rich businessman's brocade clasped his fingers in front of him. , with a high-pitched and thin voice, he exclaimed: "Empress Consort Jiang, it's really lewd in this place. Your golden and jade body can't stand such a filthy scene."

Yu Mo Shi Shi Ran stood up, straightened his clothes, sat down on the chair beside the table, poured a cup of tea slowly, his eyes skipped the eunuch, and fell on the woman in red behind: "You do it. what?"

Probably because his tone was too rude, that row of guards immediately drew their knives and unsheathed them, and the eunuch jumped on his feet and said in a thin voice, "Damn! Tie it up and drag it out!"

Concubine Jiang walked gently to the door of the room and said with a slight smile, "I heard Xuan Li say that you are here in Nandu, so I remembered that I had something to tell you, so I came here." She turned her head and looked behind her. The entourage, in a gentle voice: "You all go out, I have something to say to them alone."

Yan Dan immediately pricked up his ears and listened attentively: This Concubine Jiang was Emperor Rui's favorite person. When Yu Mo's strange eyes fell into her hands, a lot of grievances and hatreds arose between them. Brilliant.

I saw Yu Mo slowly turning his head and whispering: "Yan Dan, Brother Tang, I also have something to talk to this lady alone."

Yan Dan's disappointment couldn't be expressed in words, but the mountain owner had spoken, and she couldn't help but listen, so she took the time to walk out the door.
