Listening to the familiar voice and feeling the burning pain on his face, Ban Hao's head felt a little dazed for a moment and he couldn't quite figure out the situation.
After a while, his eyes were locked on the unfamiliar, condescending face in front of him. The other person's expression and posture seemed to be paying homage to a corpse lying in a coffin.
No, he does seem to be trapped in the coffin.
Thinking of this, he suddenly ejected from the coffin and scanned everywhere in the post house with vigilance.
He saw coffins neatly placed in the hall, and dozens of paper figures standing, leaning, or lying around the coffins, motionless and lifeless. Soon his eyes passed over these and looked towards
The old man behind the counter.
The old man stood quietly behind the counter without making any movement. His original vitality had almost disappeared, and his eyes looked empty and lifeless.
The entire hall seemed no different from when he first entered.
The only difference is probably the person standing next to him.
"Your Excellency is..."
Ban Hao jumped out of the coffin and looked at Zhao Xuanqi. If this person hadn't helped him get out of the black coffin, he didn't know what would have happened to him. Although it couldn't be called a life-saving grace, it was still a great help.
of favor.
"We've met."
Zhao Xuanqi said calmly, using the voice he used that night by the Shuangjiang River.
At this time, Ban Haotong shrank and immediately recognized Zhao Xuanqi's identity.
The fight that night was still fresh in his memory.
"It's you......"
His voice seemed a bit complicated. Originally, he regarded the other party as a rival and an enemy, but now he owed the other party a huge favor.
"Let's talk after we go out."
Zhao Xuanqi nodded to him without saying anything more. He glanced at the old man Ku Gao who was standing quietly behind the counter, and walked towards the darkness at the door.
Ban Hao did not dare to stay at this time, and immediately followed him into the darkness.
Outside the yizhuang.
Several people from Liuyangmen witnessed all the changes in the yizhuang.
From shaking, to distortion, to expansion, to the outpouring of gray mist, all the changes finally calmed down, and the extinguished green light lit up again. For a long time, there was no more movement in the post house.
I didn't see the mysterious master and Ban Hao walking out.
Time passes quickly with a stick of incense.
"What's going on now? Isn't even that guy trapped in it?"
Several people looked at each other in shock, but did not dare to approach the post house again for fear of another abnormality happening.
But this time they didn't wait too long. Darkness surged at the gate of the post house, and two figures stepped out of the darkness one after another.
"It's the mysterious master and senior brother Ban Hao!"
Several people exclaimed, with surprise looks on their faces, and they immediately went up to greet Ban Hao and thanked Zhao Xuanqi.
"Brother came to help. I will keep this feeling in my heart. If you need it in the future, you can contact me through Liuyangmen channels. However, favors are favors. In the future, if I improve my martial arts, I will still have to compete with brother."
"Also, I still don't know your brother's name."
Ban Hao looked at Zhao Xuanqi with a complicated expression and said.
"You can just call me 'Qilin'. Now that this is over, I will take my leave. Let's talk again if we have the opportunity in the future."
Zhao Xuanqi nodded, told the other party his name, and then prepared to leave.
"By the way, I'll give you a piece of advice. There are differences in the extremity this time. It's best not to get close to the central area, otherwise you may be in trouble."
After Zhao Xuanqi finished speaking, a faint light burst out around him, and he flew through the air like a bird, quickly heading towards the depths of the Netherworld.
After hearing Zhao Xuanqi's words, Ban Hao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately wanted to refute. With his own arrogance, what Zhao Xuanqi said simply looked down on him, but recalling the experience he had just had in the Yizhuang, he opened his mouth.
His mouth closed again.
Judging from his current experience, there are indeed many things that are wrong with this extremity area. Just in the outer area, he almost capsized in the gutter.
His expression changed for a while, and he looked at the brothers and sisters beside him, took a deep breath, and said: "Don't rush to the central area first, walk back along the road, and earn enough ghost money. This post
In the village, you can use ghost money to exchange for many precious secret treasures of life and death. We will obtain these secret treasures first, and then observe the changes in the absolute realm before making plans."
"Yes, senior brother!"
Several other people from the Liuyang Sect were slightly relieved when they heard this. To be honest, their previous experiences and the strange changes they had just seen in the post village had already made them want to retreat. They were really worried about their senior brother.
If you are passionate, you must go deep into the center and mix it with the muddy water of this extremity.
the other side.
Zhao Xuanqi's figure flew quickly on the yellow mud road. This time, he no longer suppressed his speed, but moved forward with almost all his strength, almost as if he had shrunk to the ground.
As he moved forward rapidly, the thick fog on both sides of the yellow mud road continued to surge, but the accumulation speed of this surge had slowed down. Even if he was traveling at such a high speed, the surging speed of the thick fog was only the same as before.
Normal when moving forward at a constant speed.
The "Road Guide" token in his arms exudes an invisible force and law, affecting the environment around him and weakening the power of the Nether Realm itself against him.
This is the importance of "road guide". Without this token, it will take a lot of effort to get close to the core of the Nether Realm.
Just now, he obtained some secret and important information from the mouth of old Ku Gao, who had briefly regained his consciousness. He had a great understanding of the Netherworld and was no longer as ignorant as before.
The Netherworld Realm was created by the empress Hou Tuwusheng who held the seal. Hundreds of judges and three thousand ghost messengers suppressed countless evil spirits. It is the place where life and death finally end. The place where the death energy is the strongest between heaven and earth. Among them, Fengdu Ghost City is the Netherworld Realm.
The core area suppresses the five ghost kings and has the ability to connect to the source of life and death.
At that time, Empress Houtu Wusheng took part in creation in this world and created two unique skills. One was to gather the way of life and death, use yin to transform yang, turn death into life, and was said to be able to control the cycle of life and death.
Qi Wusheng Yin Talisman; the two are the Yi of Gui Zang with Yin as the head and Kun Gua as the beginning. Zhao Xuanqi practiced the former. It is said that after practicing it to the extreme, he has the hope of mastering the source of life and death in the netherworld.
As for why the Nether Realm disappeared and why this matter was erased from history, the old man did not say it clearly. He said that it involved ancient secrets. As long as his mere projection dared to speak, his mind would be wiped out immediately. He just said that the life and death of the Netherworld back then
There was a problem with the Taoist source, and the world was in chaos. In order to solve this problem, the Netherworld disappeared from then on, and the same happened to the Empress Houtu Wusheng.
According to him, now that the seal has been completed and the Nether Realm has been erased, according to common sense, even if an existence like the Absolute Realm can project ancient history, it is impossible to project the existence of the Nether Realm. There must be some kind of existence behind this.
Power is secretly adding fuel to the flames, and the purpose of the people or forces who do such things must not be simple.
Their ultimate goal is most likely to make the illusion come true, to use this projected Nether Realm, and through the connection of a trace of power in it, to open the legendary Nether Road of Life and Death that connects the source of life and death in this world, and even to reach the Netherworld.
Back then, Empress Hou Tu Wusheng was in the Yinluo Palace, and something very important was taken away.
If the seal is turbulent because of this, then to the outside world, another disaster is likely to occur. As a person who practices the Xuan Qi Wusheng Yin Talisman, Zhao Xuanqi is very likely to be the first to suffer if the disaster hidden in the Netherworld Principle comes.
.
Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to prevent the opening of the road to life and death in the Netherworld and eliminate the possibility of the seal being shaken.
Zhao Xuanqi didn't know whether these words were true or false, so he didn't believe them entirely. After all, he didn't know the old man's real purpose. At first, the guy even shouted at him to kill him, which was hard to trust.
"The appearance of the Netherworld projection in the Absolute Territory is really strange this time. Moreover, I have encountered attacks from people suspected of being members of the Shamanic Cult of the Witch Kingdom. Judging from their performance, it is obvious that they are well prepared. Perhaps their true
The purpose is something in the so-called road of life and death in the underworld, and the old man should not be lying about this."
"This world has always heard the legend of the palm-printer, but in the world, the only palm-printer who exists seems to be the Emperor of Wei, and his condition is also very strange. According to the old man, the person who holds the palm is a fairy in the mortal world, breaking the limit of longevity. If
If you don't ascend to the upper world, your lifespan will be very long, but the emperor of the Wei Dynasty is different. In just over a hundred years, there have been several emperors, and they are more like borrowing the Taoyuan Mark."
"One of the founders of the Scarlet Heart Sect seems to be the palm sealer? The palm seal of Shenwu Dao. However, these people have disappeared inexplicably. This may be related to the disappearance of the Netherworld. The disappearance of the Netherworld is the so-called abnormality of the source of life and death in the Netherworld.
It is very likely that it is related to the invasion of alien sources in this world and the frequent occurrence of evil spirits. This is also something that needs to be investigated."
"The whisper in my mind may have come from the Netherworld of Life and Death. After all, this old man is an ancient figure, and he is just a projection. His thinking is rigid. What he thinks is harmful may not necessarily mean to me.
, we can act according to the situation when the time comes.”
"But no matter what, we still have to get to Fengdu City as soon as possible. My current strength is still a little bit behind. If I don't break my innate talent, I will not be able to compete with those top people. I must be prepared to break through the barrier of life and death."
"The old man said that back then, the world here evolved under the influence of the Netherworld, and five innate gods and demons were born naturally. They were called the Five Great Ghost Kings, and they were the ancestors of many evil spirits. Later, these five innate evil gods were surrendered by the Empress Houtu Wusheng.
Suppressed in Fengdu City, Fengdu City is continuously supplied with power, and the connection between the five ghost kings and the source of truth is also the key to opening the path of life and death in the Netherworld."
"If anyone is interested in the path of life and death, they must start from the five Ghost King Palaces in Fengdu City. Among them, the Central Ghost King Palace is the most important. This will also be my goal of entering Fengdu City."
While Zhao Xuanqi was on his way, he sorted out the intelligence and information he obtained and made a judgment.
And just as he was on his way.
The core place of the Netherworld.
Two figures quickly crossed the yellow mud road and broke through the fog. Gradually, green light spots appeared in front of them.
These light points connected together, casting a dark green light curtain. The place covered by the light curtain was blocked by thick fog, so the two of them could clearly see a huge city standing on the flat land.
The walls of this giant city are at least two hundred meters high, blocking out the sky and the sun as far as the eye can see. People standing in front of them are like ants.
The city wall is a deep black color, as if it is made of condensed energy of death. Rows of green lanterns are hung on the city wall, swaying slightly. It seems that there are skeletons and bones in the city wall, as if its foundation is built with the bones of the dead.
become.
Looking at this giant city from a distance, one feels a sense of death in one's heart. It seems that this is the return of life, and it is an honor to bury oneself here.
"The legendary Fengdu Ghost City?"
Among the two, the voluptuous woman sighed softly.
"It's not a real ghost town, it's just a projection. The legendary real Fengdu ghost town is even more majestic and terrifying than this."
On the other side, the tall Anda Shenzi said calmly.
"It's hard to imagine how powerful the person holding the seal is."
said the enchanting woman.
"How can it be that the world of mortals is an immortal?"
Anda Shenzi shook his head.
"It seems you and I were the first to arrive here."
The woman laughed.
"If we can't be one step ahead of others once we have detailed information, wouldn't it be a waste?"
"Okay, it's not time to stop here yet. Enter the ghost city. We must find the Five Directions Ghost King's Palace as soon as possible. According to the plan, we will place the ghost fetus created by you in the ghost king's statue. By then, all forces will inevitably be affected by the five major forces."
If there is a fight over the object, the power of the ghost king will be stimulated. If it is sacrificed with blood, its power will be intensified. At that time, the ghost fetus will operate, and the ghost fetus will be replaced with a clay fetus, and we can temporarily borrow the power of the ghost kings of the five directions.
With the power of Fengdu City and the layout of other places, the falsehood became true in one fell swoop, communicating with the source of the Netherworld and opening the road to life and death."
Anda Shenzi said calmly, but deep in his eyes, there was an excited look.
"Fengdu City is very huge. The five Ghost King Palaces belong to different areas, so it is difficult to take care of them all. You and I can only guard one place, and leave the other four to others. Which place should we guard?"
the enchanting woman asked.
"The five ghost kings are the gods and demons born innately, and they are innately connected with the source of the truth. Among them, the central ghost king 'Xishi' is the strongest among the five ghost kings. He lives in the center and has the deepest connection with the source of the truth. The town object 'Gui Zhong' is the strongest among the five ghost kings.
In the Central Ghost King Palace, when the Absolute Realm is opened, the sound of the 'Returning Bell' can be heard. I am afraid that in the eyes of others, this object is the most valuable secret treasure of life and death in this Absolute Realm.
, the top experts on the Tianhua Ranking will not let go of this opportunity, and will definitely compete for it."
"Therefore, of course, you and I must guard the Central Ghost King Palace and nourish the Ghost King with the blazing vitality and energy of the top masters on the Tianhua Ranking. We will certainly be able to summon stronger projection power, and the chance of opening the path to life and death will be greater."
"This time, as the great judge, I will have a good meeting with these figures in the Wei Dynasty to let them understand the power of our witchcraft."
