Chapter 315 Underworld!? [4k small chapter for monthly ticket]
Kyoto.
Step on the sky tower.
Liang Du put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Inside the Tiantian Building, it was empty.
However, ever since he stepped into the Tiantian Tower, his consciousness has never calmed down.
Therefore, even though he was tricked by Master, he still stayed patiently and quietly in Tatianlou, just to study the changes in his sea of consciousness.
Even if Fang Xiu and Cao Yiyi went to deal with the strange things in Lin Yucheng, he didn't have time to take care of it for the time being.
Of course, he also took an insurance policy on Cao Yiyi and the others. The enhanced version of Zengfu Incense is not just a decoration. There will definitely not be any big problems during their trip this time.
In the past few days, Liang Du got nothing. It was not until Fang Xiu and the others rushed from Linyucheng to Kyoto that things turned around.
That is a memory.
In other words, before the master left, he actually had some methods left behind.
Why are there strange things happening in the outskirts of Kyoto? Everything is so that Liang Du can know the truth.
As for why the master's arrangement took so many twists and turns, Liang Du also had an idea in his mind.
Perhaps the master was afraid that the clues he left were too obvious and would be noticed by the underworld, so he went to such great lengths.
The identity of the blue-skinned monster is also unusual. It is a river monster that once wandered under the underworld. It was just the master's arrangement. Liang Du still felt a little helpless.
After all, it is a fact that blue-skinned monsters can harm people.
However, Liang Du felt that it was impossible for Master to not take these things into consideration, so in this strange blue-skinned memory, Liang Du did find the reason for Master to do this.
The time is so urgent that the Master cannot make it in time.
The current result is already Master's best arrangement, and the loss is already minimal.
Liang Du asked Fang Xiu and the others to leave first, and then solemnly sat down cross-legged.
Now, he wants to sink into his own spiritual sea again.
Perhaps today we can get a glimpse of the truth behind Huang Quan.
…
Huangquan might have once been a river, Liang Du secretly guessed, if Master's information was correct.
In ancient times, there were often legends about river gods. People who make a living on rivers must not collide with river gods unless necessary.
According to legends from previous lives, Huangquan is the hub linking the Yin and Yang worlds.
Even because of the legend of Huangquan and the Blue Star China in the previous life, the people also crazily worshiped the Yellow River. No one knew how many strange things there were under the Yellow River.
Because since ancient times, people have always thought of offering sacrifices to heaven to pray for good weather, so there are countless sacrificial objects under the Yellow River.
An even more bizarre legend is that of the man who fished corpses from the Yellow River.
At this moment, Liang Du's transformed soul stood on the sea of spirit, looking at Huangquan, thinking about the memory fragments brought back by Fang Xiu, feeling a little lost.
Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, took a deep breath, and jumped directly into the underworld. Then he made a mental secret according to the memory fragments of the blue-skinned monster, and then his vision went dark, and then he suddenly became enlightened.
This is like a ghost world, except that everything is normal, unlike the ghost world where everything is the opposite.
What appeared in front of him was a river. Liang Du looked at this strange world and was silent. He didn't know how to express the surprise in his heart at this moment.
There was a boat in front of him. It was just ordinary, without any special aura. Liang Du was silent for a moment, and finally boarded the boat.
The boat carried Liang Du and headed towards the center of the river. At some point, there was a layer of mist above the river.
Liang Duyi was a brave man, and he didn't have any sense of crisis, so he continued rowing forward in silence.
At this moment, in the mist, a boat appeared on the opposite side, with a young man on it.
Liang Du felt that the other person was just an ordinary person without any cultivation skills, but Liang Du also felt that this was a normal world at this moment.
The other person is a person without any breath, like a dead soul.
Facing the opponent's punting boat, Liang Du was surprised and just nodded slightly, and the boat went around the opponent and continued on its way.
This world is so real, he needs more time to see and observe.
The young man on the opposite boat was not surprised when he saw Liang Du leaving, as if their encounter was just a chance encounter between ordinary people on the river.
As Liang Du continued to go deep into the center of the river, but could not see the situation on the other side of the river at all, Liang Du couldn't help but be a little curious along the way.
At this time, Liang Du suddenly stopped while punting the boat. The bottom of the boat seemed to have hit something. Liang Du looked down and his expression changed.
Corpse.
After a person drowns, generally speaking, the man will bow down to the woman. If the person commits suicide for love, he or she will die violently. After death, the person's eyes will be wide open and he will face up. The appearance of death is very miserable.
It was this kind of corpse that Liang Du encountered under the boat, and this place became more and more like a real world.
However, Liang Du was also a little lucky. Fortunately, the person he encountered at this time was not Zhi Zhi, otherwise he might have been in some trouble.
Du Zhishan once talked about this with Liang Du. After all, Du Zhishan saw too many strange events when he went to the Chenghuang Temple on the Yongjiang River.
A straight corpse refers to a corpse with its head and feet soaked in water, with only its hair floating on the water. There are rumors that this kind of straight corpse is called an unjust death. People who die violently will be in big trouble.
Because there must be a whirlpool at the feet of such a corpse, and the whirlpool sucks the corpse, so that only the human hair is exposed.
Therefore, this is the most dangerous situation underwater. Even those with advanced skills may encounter undercurrents or whirlpools under the body. Once they are sucked into the whirlpool, they may not be able to break free and eventually drown.
In the past, due to lack of education, people could not explain some scientific events, so they spread rumors and rumors, and gradually the theory of ghosts and gods began to emerge.
The most frightening situation is that if the dead body encounters the corpse collectors from the underworld, it may cause great damage.
Liang Du couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this.
How could there possibly be a body hunter from the Underworld here!?
The corpse collectors of the Yin Division grew up eating special food, and their bodies were full of flesh and blood, so they were not afraid of the strangeness of corpses.
Because even in the eyes of monsters, the corpse collector from the underworld is probably just a corpse. Monsters without Yang energy cannot discover the identity of the corpse collector.
Liang Du shook his head at this moment and stopped thinking wildly, because he discovered that after hitting the corpse, the direction of his pole movement had slightly changed.
Seeing this, Liang Du's face couldn't help but become serious.
And just at this moment, the boat under his feet actually stopped in the river, and he couldn't move forward even with all his strength.
It's like——
It's like there's something under the boat holding the boat.
Liang Du calmed down, put down the boat pole, and then looked under the water, and saw swollen, pale, dead faces emerging from the water.
Densely packed and endless.
It is very similar to the scene of the underworld that Liang Du saw when he was upgrading his cultivation.
At this moment, countless corpses covered the bottom of the boat. Pairs of wet arms stretched out of the water, and the void held the bottom of the boat. Naturally, the boat couldn't move.
Corpse in the boat!
Liang Du looked thoughtful and nodded thoughtfully. The things under the water are the most dangerous after death. Because water belongs to Yin, I am afraid that he is the first creature to break into this place during this period.
Therefore, they did not want to let him go, and the corpse holding ship wanted to keep him. Thinking of this, Liang Du was about to take action, and changes suddenly occurred.
At this moment, there was sudden movement under the water, and a stone statue of a goddess rose majestically from the bottom of the river.
Liang Du couldn't help but feel a little shocked. There were indeed unexplainable sacrifices under the river. He saw a goddess statue pulled up from the bottom of the river, holding up a boat with a corpse in it with one hand.
The ghosts holding the boat were directly crushed to pieces by the huge single palm of the goddess statue. The boat was held in mid-air by the single palm of the goddess statue, sent to a distance of more than ten meters, and then gently lowered into the river again.
Then under Liang Du's surprised gaze, the river waves rolled and stirred the heaven and earth. The goddess statue landed on the shore and then disappeared.
I don't know if it was Liang Du's illusion, but he felt that when the goddess statue disappeared, it seemed to turn back and nod towards him...
What is the origin of this goddess statue who took the initiative to help them get rid of the corpse ship?
However, because of his shock just now, Liang Du had already missed the opportunity to find out the truth. He could only look back behind him, secretly feeling regretful.
However, because the corpse ship was dealt with, the ship had already resumed its journey, leaving only a thick sea of fog behind it that blocked the view.
I don't know how long it took, but Liang Du's boat stopped again. This time, it was not a corpse blocking the boat, but a huge stone tablet that suddenly appeared, blocking the way.
This attracted Liang Du's full attention. The stone tablet was already covered with mottled and broken marks, which were the marks left by the ancient times.
At first glance, a feeling of desolation and desolation arises spontaneously, not to mention that the stone tablet is broken at this moment, with almost only half left.
But there are still characters on it, and the font is very old, like a dragon and a phoenix coiled around it. Fortunately, Du Zhishan once taught Liang Du a lot, and among them was this kind of character.
Otherwise, Liang Du would not be able to do anything about such complicated and difficult-to-recognize ancient characters.
Because Liang Du had Du Zhishan's teachings, he could see the meaning at a glance. The words on the broken stone tablet seemed to have two characters in total.
"Underworld!"
Although these two words were incomplete, Liang Du was shocked, and these two words subconsciously appeared in his mind - hell.
If we talk about the underworld, we have to mention Liang Du’s memory of Blue Star in his previous life.
What the underworld represents is self-evident.
At this moment, Liang Du looked at the words on the stone tablet. He was surprised, but also frowned and thought.
What does it mean for the underworld to appear here?
You know, this is his spiritual sea, the world in the underworld, presented through special means.
Why does the underworld that appears in mythology appear in my spiritual world at this moment? What does this have to do with my ability to ferry between yin and yang?
Even if we don’t explore this issue and return to the essence, is this underworld the same underworld in the Blue Star myth of the previous life?
The more Liang Du thought about it, the more his head hurt. He had no idea at the moment.
The mystery left behind by the master has not been solved at this moment, but instead makes Liang Du more and more elusive.
In other words, the underworld appears in one's own spiritual world...What does this mean?
Perhaps, many of the histories and legends of Blue Star in previous lives are not necessarily false and only exist in myths.
In other words, the history of annihilation is gradually unveiling a mysterious veil from the dust of the sea and the cold electricity of eternity, which is inexplicably connected with the world of my own spiritual sea at this moment.
Looking at the word "Underworld" on the ruined ancient monument in front of him, Liang Du suddenly felt that he had a big secret.
Even your own time travel may be an arrangement.
Did he have a specific mission when he came to this world?
While Liang Du was meditating, the boat had followed the current, left the stone monument, and continued moving forward.
Looking at the ancient monument of the underworld that he was about to pass by, Liang Du had a strange feeling in his heart. The river under the ancient monument might be absolutely related to his own underworld.
Thinking of this, Liang Du couldn't help but look back, trying to see if there was anything else behind the ruined ancient monument.
For example, eighteen levels of hell!
This was the standard configuration of the Blue Star Mythical Underworld in the previous life.
Of course, Liang Du saw nothing at this moment, only the motionless ancient stone tablet.
There has always been a strange mist rising on the river, and it was even thicker now, blocking Liang Du's vision.
Although with Liang Du's cultivation level, this seems a little unbelievable, but in his opinion, the surroundings are hazy and he can't see clearly.
Thinking of this, Liang Du suddenly had an idea.
Soul-inducing lamp.
When he was in the dark, Chow Tai Fook taught him the soul-inducing lantern.
However, even if Liang Du used his energy and blood to turn on the soul-inducing lamp, he still couldn't see the situation very far away in the thick sea of fog. On the contrary, the further away he went, the blurry his vision became.
At the last moment, when the boat under his feet was about to pass by the stone monument, Liang Du's eyes flashed.
He finally saw what was behind the ancient monument!
Although he only had a brief glimpse, he still saw majestic ruins behind the ancient monument, as well as a collapsed statue...
It looks very much like the statue in the Blue Star Temple in the previous life, except that it is already in tatters.
When Liang Du wanted to take a closer look, he found that the scene was no longer there.
But at this time, while he was feeling regretful, something suddenly popped into his mind for some reason.
"No one can come out alive from the underworld. From the past to the present, no one has ever been able to come out alive."
When the boat was far away from the stone monument of the underworld, Liang Du couldn't help but mutter to himself. He didn't know why this sentence appeared, he just couldn't help but whisper softly.
What does it mean that no one made it out alive?
Suddenly, Liang Du felt a sense of horror. No one came out alive. In other words, the underworld could not be a place for living people. There were only dead people here!
Liang Du felt a little depressed, but all this was just his speculation now. If he wanted to know the real truth, he had to continue to explore.
Thinking of this, he looked at the misty river surface, finally stopped thinking about anything else, stood up from the pole, and continued walking towards the depths of the river.
No matter what secrets it holds, as long as Liang Du continues to explore it, he believes that he can solve all the mysteries.
………………
Boom!
Suddenly there was a soft sound.
It turned out that the boat, which had been bumping and undulating with the water waves, suddenly bumped lightly and then stopped motionless.
This seems to be a shallow shoal.
In other words, Liang Du finally got the chance to find out the truth because the boat docked. This seemingly endless river has boundaries after all.
Liang Du didn't waste any time and went directly to the shore. After that, the strange mist on the river disappeared.
At this time, wherever Liang Du looked, he saw vast landscapes like black and white landscape paintings, without a trace of color, and the surroundings were dead silent, like a dead land.
There are mountains and plants here, but their leaves are no longer green, and there is only a black and white landscape painting, which looks a bit lonely.
The most terrifying thing is that there is no wind here, not even a sound can be heard at this moment, it is like silence, no, dead silence for a long, long time.
