Countless souls who were confused or slightly sober were moving forward involuntarily. There was only a large pot set up by the bridge, with streams of slightly fishy green smoke rising from it.
As long as a soul walks by, a wisp of green mist will float out from inside and penetrate the other person's mouth and nose. The originally clear ghost will immediately become confused and continue to walk forward.
This team has no beginning in front and no end in sight. It looks extremely strange.
At this time, Gu Zheng had already arrived, standing aside, watching the mechanical progress of these lonely souls, and turned a deaf ear to some occasional glances for help.
After waiting for a while, he turned around and looked at the stone tablet on the side.
"My old friend is here, and I just avoided seeing him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black energy rushed out from the stele and fell to the ground, turning into the hunter that Gu Zheng was familiar with.
"Fellow Taoist Gu, is there anyone who wants to suppress me like this? At least let me stop what I'm doing." Naihe explained with a wry smile.
"Yes, yes, you have managed to get to this point. It's quite impressive." Gu Zheng praised sincerely.
At this time, he seems to have lost his cultivation and is almost like an ordinary ghost. In fact, his body has been completely integrated into the underworld. From another perspective, if the underworld is immortal, he will also live forever.
"At the beginning I thought I was going to die, but everything was worth it. I was just too boring at ordinary times. I was just manipulating this place and erasing their memories." Nai He pointed at the team in front of him that had slowed down greatly, "If you do this,
I'll have to work hard for a few more days, but why are you here?"
"I have something to do and need to find someone. Now I am looking for you. I happened to be passing by and came to see you. As for your mission, you can find someone. It seems quite simple. Isn't it easy?" Gu
There is something strange about fighting.
It's not that I wonder if there is a Meng Po. In fact, there is no such person at all. It's just that sometimes people are sent to check regularly, and someone is responsible for it. Over time, rumors spread and it became like that.
Rather, he was surprised that this job should be very simple. Even though he didn't know much about it, and he didn't know that Naihe existed in his previous life, it didn't make him feel so hard.
"Normal people can't do this at all. Mainly because of the Forgotten Soul Soup, the effect seems to be a bit insufficient. And there is no good solution from the Six Paths. I can only work harder and keep an eye on it." Naihe also said helplessly.
"Oh, can you tell me? It's okay if it's inconvenient." Gu Zheng became even more curious. Anyway, he had plenty of time and asked in no hurry.
"There's nothing inconvenient about this." Naihe thought for a moment and then said it.
"You also know that not all souls have to go through this. Only those with advanced cultivation or deep obsessions have to go through here. Only in this way can the hidden dangers in the future be completely eliminated."
"The problem arises here. The effect of the Forgetting Soul Soup is effective for most people. After all, it is something given by the Six Paths. However, for some unknown reasons, the effect is greatly reduced. Such a result will cause them to...
Occasionally some memories will surface."
"These memories are not forgotten by the other party. After some investigation, a section is randomly selected. It may be possible to fight in the past life, or it may just be in a daze facing the ground. Everything from birth to death is possible. The problem is not serious, but
But it is a hidden danger, so I have to check one by one to make sure nothing is missed, and if so, I can give the other person a new drink."
"No wonder it's so troublesome, but it won't be easy if everyone takes two shots." Only then did Gu Zheng understand the other party's hard work. This happened all the time, and there was no such thing as a break.
"To put it simply, it just doesn't meet the conditions. After two passes, the souls will be completely separated, which will make it more serious." Naihe shook his head, and he didn't wonder why Gu Zheng asked this. The other party didn't know the situation here, "But my previous paragraph
Time, I suddenly thought if I could find a way to completely solve this problem, so that I would be free, at least I wouldn’t have to be stuck here all the time.”
"What solution?" Gu Zheng didn't expect that the other party had even thought of a solution.
"Actually, it wasn't just me who came up with it myself, it was also the empress who helped me think about it." Nai He smiled, and it could be seen that the other party was a little embarrassed. Looking at Gu Zheng's strange eyes, he quickly said, "The empress said, because we can only eliminate
The past cannot affect the future. As long as there is a pure tear in this world, this problem can be completely solved."
"The purest tears of this world."
Gu Zheng repeated it in his mouth. From the literal point of view, it is very easy to understand. It is not only pure tears, but also tears left by people who have been reincarnated. However, it is not that simple to merge with the Forgetting Soul Soup.
"That's right, I actually came up with this name. It's simple and easy to understand. It's much better than Huiwangshui, which I don't understand." This made Naihe a little proud.
"Indeed." Gu Zheng did not dwell on this issue, "Is this thing easy to find? Do you need my help?"
"Don't worry, the empress has sent some people to look for it, but it is extremely difficult to find. It requires people who have been reincarnated to be able to produce it, and it must also be possible without any external force, so that the other party can inadvertently cross the gap between two lives and stay.
It will only take you shed tears of confusion to get it. It probably won’t take hundreds of years or longer to get it. I am mentally prepared for this."
But Naihe could stop looking at it. At least there was a way to solve his problem, so time didn't mean much to him, so he could certainly afford to wait.
The two chatted for a while, and after seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Zheng said goodbye.
"You are right, but if I have something to do with you, I won't bother you for now. When you come out, you can find me when you have time." Gu Zheng nodded and then said.
"No problem. If you don't leave in a hurry, come back and find me. I'm still a little lonely here alone for a long time. Go see the empress quickly. Don't keep her waiting. I think there must be something going on with you." Naihe said a little.
After saying something in his heart, he immediately urged Gu Zheng to leave, as if he was afraid that Gu Zheng would laugh at him.
After Gu Zheng said goodbye, he remembered his expression just now and smiled slightly on the road. He never thought that the hunter who once pretended to be serious turned out to be just an ordinary person deep down, even shy.
No wonder there is a saying that the more you care about something, the more you are covering it up.
Returning to the place where they left, they greeted the shadow, and the two of them moved forward again and stepped onto the bridge.
Below is the surging yellow spring water, which is much more violent outside where the ship is passing. However, there is a barrier around it. Even if you stick your head out to see the scenery below, you can't do it. But you can see into the distance. There seemed to be something in the water, rising and falling.
After crossing the stone bridge, there is the place where the underworld is, and it is also a space opened up by the six paths. Originally, it was surrounded by strong ghost energy, but these ghost energy was mixed with a lot of Ji Qi, plus the water of the underworld. Block, completely block everyone in front.
In the past, this was the end, and the Tower of Hell was the most obvious symbol. Now with Hades, a bridge was built on the Underworld Road so that they could continue to expand towards the north.
It didn't take long to walk here, and I had already arrived in front of the Hades. In front of me were individual buildings, some were halls, some were mansions, all scattered in this place in regular and scattered patterns. There were no plaques on them, so people didn't know. What exactly does it do?
Just when Gu Zheng was hesitant and wanted to find someone to ask, a female ghost cultivator flew towards us from a distance. The aura swaying around her body made people clearly aware of her cultivation level and her great power. Luo's strength is at its peak, and this one is a ghost cultivator, no longer a Shura person.
"Mr. Gu, my queen asked me to come and greet you." The woman stopped in front of Gu Zheng and said respectfully to Gu Zheng.
"Thank you. I was just worried about not being able to find a place." Gu Zheng returned the favor with his hand.
Although the other party seemed very respectful and seemed to treat him as a servant, Gu Zheng would not really treat him as a servant.
With enough strength, she didn't look much different from the woman outside here, except that her body had a cold air. The woman smiled at Gu Zheng, then turned around and led them quickly towards the inside. The speed is not that fast, just the speed of Shadow's full strength.
The surrounding buildings were left behind one by one, and the surrounding area was deserted. The silence was a bit scary. There was no one in the huge place, not even the guards patrolling. Then I thought that no one wanted to come in here, and there was no manpower. Nervous Hades would naturally not put people here.
Soon a larger than usual hall appeared in front of them, like an altar, sitting on a jade platform ten feet high. From a very far away, there was a gentle slope with thousands of steps, densely packed directly leading to above.
"Next, Mr. Gu, you are the only one going up." When she reached the bottom of the stairs, the woman stopped and said to Gu Zheng.
"You wait for me here."
Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant and left a word to the shadow, then climbed up the stairs and walked up step by step.
It didn't take much time to go up the thousands of stairs step by step. Soon after Gu Zheng climbed up, he saw two people who were both unexpected and not unexpected.
Gu Na is a tall and powerful witch clan whose cultivation level is only at the Golden Immortal stage. They stand on both sides of the gate and look like guards.
Although her strength is weak, Gu Zheng feels that the other party is most likely Houtu's former clansman. Maybe in the future, she can see other tribes of witches here. This is normal. Even Houtu can't get rid of her.
identity.
Or even though he could not tolerate the lonely soul from the beginning, everyone knew whether he had the idea of finding a way out for the Wu clan in his heart.
The two people from the Wu clan seemed to have received the instructions. Before Gu Zheng could approach, they opened the door one by one.
I looked at the normal-sized plaque above my head, which said "Reincarnation Hall", paused for a moment, and then walked in.
The entire hall is extremely empty. There are some solemn and solemn patterns around it, but it looks hazy and hazy, making it difficult to see clearly.
Wearing a yellow warm gauze skirt in front, which looked more lively than the palace dress, the Queen Mother was facing away from him, waving her hands and lighting something in front of her.
The mini six paths the size of a palm were spinning continuously in the air, following Hou Tu's command and turning their directions without knowing what the use was.
"Greetings, empress!"
Arriving at the middle position, this time it was Gu Zheng's turn to take the initiative to salute respectfully.
"You're here, sit down."
After waiting for a few moments, Empress Houtu quickly moved her hands a few times, then turned around and raised her hands. Gu Zheng's half-waist body suddenly straightened up, and a chair appeared somewhere beside him.
Seeing the front of Empress Houtu, Gu Zheng was also shocked. The bright and moving eyes looked like blackberries, which made people able to fully sense the powerful aura permeating the other party's body, the aura of a superior person without being angry.
Unobstructed view.
Behind her, there was also an ordinary chair, which she sat on. Seeing this, Gu Zheng also sat aside.
"I don't know what your Majesty wants from me."
Neither of them spoke, but Hou Tu looked at Gu Zheng with a strange look, as if he could see through everything about him, which made Gu Zheng feel particularly awkward. He hadn't felt this way for a long time, so in order to get rid of this situation, he spoke first.
Hou Tu chuckled lightly and retracted his somewhat inquisitive gaze, "I already know the purpose of your visit this time. I am even sure that one of the people you are looking for is in the Tower of Hell."
Gu Zheng remained silent and did not speak. He knew that the other party had not finished speaking, but the next words shocked him.
"I know your past and present lives, and I can also see some of your future."
"Look, I scared you." Hou Tu chuckled, like a girl who had succeeded in her conspiracy, and giggled. Then, before Gu Zheng could react, his face turned serious again.
"Of course it's fake, don't be so surprised."
Gu Zheng showed a wry smile and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. Although he was confident that no one outside knew his details, he was really not sure whether the other party knew about him.
"If anything happens to your Majesty, just give me your orders and I will do my best." Gu Zheng maintained a helpless smile and asked again.
"Seeing that you are anxious, it seems that there is something urgent. However, if you do what I asked you to do, I can satisfy one of your needs. For example, let someone you miss come back to life. What do you think?" Empress Houtu!
Looking at Gu Zheng's look, he said deliberately.
Gu Zheng was not surprised at all that Hou Tu knew the purpose of his visit. Even if he was cautious enough in his actions, he would be very conspicuous on the opponent's territory like under the scorching sun. However, he was also thinking about what the mission was and what the opponent was doing.
To actually agree to his resurrection is definitely a very big reward.
Perhaps, except for Empress Houtu, no one can perfectly resurrect people.
How big the reward is, and how high the degree of danger is naturally. Gu Zheng's face also turned pale. He wanted to know what the specific task was, but he couldn't even refuse. The only thing that reassured him was that the other party would not do anything that would lead to death.
task.
"Don't be so serious. This is a benefit for you. It counts as you saving a precious ship." Looking at Gu Zheng's appearance, Hou Tu comforted him.
"In fact, it is not difficult. There is a problem on some floors in the Tower of Hell. Some of the strong men who were captured inside are about to break free. Now I am going to put the Tower of Hell deep in the underworld.
, each level evolves into a new space, letting sinners like them know what the real hell is."
"And you have to go in and reseal those strong men who are about to break free, and at the same time remove the hidden dangers there. You will get help from the Hell Tower inside, but it is limited. It mainly depends on you."
Listening to Hou Tu's words, Gu Zheng's eyes almost popped out at first. This was still a benefit. How could he know how many strong men there were? Thinking that he was besieged by ten masters of the same level, he couldn't even think about that scene.
, and finally realized that the problems inside were not serious, and maybe it was a benefit to him, not to mention the geographical advantage.
In this way, although there is some danger, the danger is not great at all.
"No problem, when will we leave?" Gu Zheng said crisply.
"Don't be impatient. You won't have a good time to go in until three months later. You have plenty of time. I remember you still have the sin-washing stones in your hand. Take them all out."
Hou Tu suddenly made a request, which surprised Gu Zheng, but he still took out the remaining sin-washing stones, all twenty of them.
Hou Tu raised his palm, and ten of them automatically rose up and were put away by her. Then, facing the void, two colorful rays of light appeared from the sky, and the next moment they directly disappeared into two of the remaining ten. They were originally crystal clear.
The sin-washing stone suddenly turned into colorful marbles, shining with colorful light.
"You can do whatever you want with those eight. When the King of the Palace is over, the Tower of Hell will not be on top, so all the sins will naturally not attract attention. Those two colorful stones can bring two people out of the Tower of Hell.
, no matter who the other party is or what the specific circumstances are, he will be acquitted." Hou Tu took back his palm and said casually.
"Thank you, empress." Gu Zheng was overjoyed and understood what this meant.
Relying on the tower of hell to suppress it seems to make this place very harmonious, but for development, it is definitely not a good thing, and it will indeed disappear in the future, evolving into the way of hell, which is closer to the underworld and more powerful.
Stronger and more constrained, it truly becomes a place where everyone is afraid.
The eight sin-washing stones in his hand will be of no use in the future, and they are also reminding him to use them quickly, otherwise he may not even want them if they are still on the street. You must know that Hades has many of these things.
As for the last two colorful stones, they were Gu Zheng's real reward this time. The empress knew that the person Gu Zheng was looking for was inside. If he wanted to bring them out, Gu Zheng couldn't do it even if he tried his best. With this
After two, you can take two people away unconditionally.
Although Empress Houtu didn't say it explicitly, he had already guessed it.
"Go back. Meiya, the maid outside, will take you to where you want to go. As long as you are best prepared, you don't need to worry about anything else."
After the matter was done, Queen Mother Houtu also began to drive people away.
"My dear, farewell!"
Gu Zheng stood up, said goodbye respectfully once more, and strode away from here.
"This is an opportunity given to you. Don't waste it. You must also find a way to deal with those endless monsters. I always feel a little strange. There are also things under the yellow spring water. They should not appear. Where do those things appear from?
A monster that is incompatible with this world."
"Could it be that they came from the prehistoric world?"
Seeing Gu Zheng leave, Empress Houtu's smile fell, a trace of sadness appeared on her brows, and she murmured.
