A few minutes later, Bie Xue walked out of the ancestral hall. There were many people in the ancestral hall at this time, so Bie Xue's entry and exit did not attract the attention of the villagers. After all, there was nothing valuable in the ancestral hall, and there were many other villages.
Many people also came to worship their great-uncle, so these villagers just regarded Bie Xue as a foreigner.
After Bie Xue walked out of the ancestral hall, she nodded to Qin Yu, and then walked towards the alley to the side. Qin Yu followed behind with Geng Fang, Meng Yao and the others.
"Okay, you can come out now."
When walking into the middle of the alley, Bie Xue suddenly said something to the air to the side. When Geng Fang heard Bie Xue's words, he glanced at Bie Xue's left side curiously. The next moment, his face was filled with confusion.
Showing shock.
Because, on Bie Xue's left side, a figure slowly appeared.
"Great uncle!"
Seeing this figure, Geng Fang shouted in surprise and was about to walk over.
"Great uncle is dead, this is just his soul, and his soul is unstable now. If you go there, you will only hit his soul." Qin Yu stopped Geng Fang, "I found great uncle's soul.
, to make you believe that the underworld has disappeared."
"Fang Zi, they are right. The underworld has indeed disappeared. In the past two days, my soul has not only stayed in the ancestral hall, but I have also met several other ghosts. They all told me that I don't know how to get to the underworld now.
Already."
You must know that ghosts are naturally connected to the underworld. As mentioned before, ghosts may not be able to find where the underworld is, but they can find those nodes, which are equivalent to ancient inns, and nearby ghosts will go there.
Then they waited for the evil spirits to arrive and take them to the underworld.
But now, the ghosts like Great Uncle and the others can't even sense the inn leading to the underworld. The ghosts who originally knew where the inn was are also unable to enter because the inn has been closed.
After listening to his great-uncle's words, Geng Fang really believed Qin Yu's words. The underworld has really disappeared. This man is not an alarmist. If this continues, the underworld will indeed be in chaos.
"Okay, I'll tell you how to find the Devil's Land, but it's just a legacy left by my ancestors. I don't know if you can find it specifically." Geng Fang finally decided to tell Qin Yu everything.
"Speaking of the devil's land, we have to start with changing our surname to Geng. According to what my ancestors said, the reason why we changed our surname to Geng was actually to get the character for fire, because the villagers of our Geng family can survive and defeat the devil.
The devils in this land all rely on the Holy Fire."
"Holy fire?" Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, vaguely thinking of something in his mind.
"Yes, that's what my ancestor said. My ancestor was the only one who came back alive from the Devil's Land. But in fact, my ancestor didn't come back empty-handed, but brought back the Holy Fire."
"The reason why we Gengjia Yun can't get close to the Yangtze River is because, according to what our ancestors said, our bloodline has absorbed the energy of the Holy Fire, and this energy is what the devils in the Devil's Land in the Yangtze River are after. Once our Geng Jia Yun people arrive,
The Yangtze River will cause the devils in the devil's land to riot, and may even break free from the seal."
"But if that's the case, why does the ancestral instruction prohibit you from leaving the Yangtze River?" Qin Yu frowned and asked.
"Because our duty is to seal the Devil's Land. According to what our ancestors said, they sealed the Devil's Land back then, but this does not mean that we can sit back and relax. As time goes by, the seal will slowly weaken. We can only rely on
Later generations sealed it again, and to seal the devil's land, the holy fire must be used."
"To be honest, one of the big reasons why my family has been engaged in the business of fishing for corpses is to be able to pay attention to the movements on the Yangtze River. If the seal of the Devil's Land weakens, something happens on the Yangtze River.
, we are going to ask the Holy Fire to re-seal the Devil’s Land.”
"Is the holy fire you are talking about a flame? What color is this flame? Is it green?" Qin Yu asked Geng Fang.
"How did you know?"
After Geng Fang heard Qin Yu's words, he looked at Qin Yu in shock. The holy fire was the biggest secret of their Geng family. Apart from his family, not even the great uncle knew about the existence of the holy fire.
"It's true."
Qin Yu's eyes flashed brightly, and he remembered what Wang Jingquan had said that when the Yangtze River was dammed, a sea of fire appeared at the mouth of the dragon, and in the sea of fire, a group of green flames flew out, and then Old Man Dashan's
figure.
Old Man Dashan wanted to get this green flame, but he failed in the end. The flame flew down to a certain village. Now that I think about it, that village is Gengjiayu.
However, thinking of this, Qin Yu was a little confused again, because according to Geng Fang, the holy fire had been kept in their Geng family, but how could it appear at the bottom of the river? Is there any connection between them?
Thinking of this, Qin Yu directly asked Geng Fang, "Has the holy fire always been in your Geng family and never left?"
"I left, a hundred years ago. The devils in the Devil's Land seemed to be showing signs of unsealing. My great-grandfather went to the Devil's Land with the Holy Fire. Unfortunately, he never came back. Until more than ten years ago,
But the holy fire flew back on its own."
Geng Fang's answer made Qin Yu know the answer. In this way, everything could be explained.
A hundred years ago, Geng Fang's great-grandfather went to the underworld with the Holy Fire, but unfortunately he did not come back for some reasons. After that, it was probably Old Man Dashan who got the news and wanted to get the Holy Fire. For this reason, Old Man Dashan probably also entered the devil's realm.
The earth is the passage to the underworld.
However, it is a pity that although Old Man Dashan brought the holy fire out, he could not take the holy fire away because there was no ancient bronze lamp. In the end, he could only watch the holy fire return to Gengjiayun with regret.
Qin Yu is very familiar with the power of these nine flames. It is definitely not something that the legendary master can compete with. This was already evident when a flame almost burned down the entire Reincarnation Hall in the underworld.
If it weren't for the ancient bronze lamp, Qin Yu would not have dared to approach the nine flames. Only when facing the ancient bronze lamp would the nine flames become stable.
"I can take you there if you need it, but only those of us in Gengjia Yun can touch the holy fire, because our blood has the power of the holy fire. If anyone else touches it, it will be burned to death immediately."
Geng Fang led the way, reminding Qin Yu and others in a low voice. This is one of the reasons why Geng Fang was so relieved to tell the secret of Geng Jiaxun's possession of the Holy Fire, because he was not afraid at all that anyone would try to get the Holy Fire.
Geng Fang led Qin Yu and others towards a small hill behind Gengjiayun, and finally stopped in a yam field.
There is a small earth hole on the soil steps of the yam field, and a lot of wood is stored in it. If it is the first time for a person who comes here to see this earth hole, he will only think of the place where these villagers used to put vines.
Rattan is what farmers call some dead trees or bamboos, because during the planting process of many kinds of vegetables and fruits, some branches need to be inserted on the field to support the growth of these vegetable seedlings with rattan.
Therefore, this small earthen cave where the rattan props are stored is not strange. No one will find it strange when they see it, and no one would think that it is such a small earthen cave, but there is a different world inside.
After cleaning the vines in the small earth cave, Geng Fang touched the wall of the earth cave several times with his hand, and finally pressed it hard.
There was shaking under his feet, and Qin Yu looked at the wall inside the small earth cave. At this moment, the wall began to slowly fall, revealing a deep cave inside.
"This cave was built by my ancestors' generation and is still in use today. The sacred fire is here. Come in with me."
After Geng Fang explained, he bent down and walked into the small earth cave first. Qin Yu and Meng Yao looked at each other and then walked in.
The cave inside the small earth cave is very deep and not big. You can only bend down, so it is very tiring to walk. It was not until almost a quarter of an hour of walking that Geng Fang in front stopped.
At this time, there was another wall in front of Geng Fang. This time Geng Fang took out the knife he carried and cut his finger, and then dripped a few drops of blood on the wall.
After the wall absorbed Geng Fang's blood, a Bagua pattern appeared faintly. Seeing this pattern, Qin Yu looked at Geng Fang in surprise. The bloodline identification rune, this rune's level is not low, it seems that Geng Fang
His ancestor was also a master.
But think about it, those who can come back alive from the underworld, even if they were not masters before, will probably become masters after they come out. Obviously, Geng Fang's ancestors have gained something in the underworld.
"Qin Yu, what are bloodline identification runes?" Meng Yao on the side asked like a curious baby.
"The bloodline identification rune is actually a kind of mechanism in Qimen Dunjia. The wall you see is actually a mechanism. To open the mechanism, you must be of the same bloodline as the person who designed the mechanism. To put it bluntly,
, only the descendant who set up this mechanism can open it."
"That's right." Meng Yao nodded her head to show that she understood, but she didn't know that the bloodline identification runes were not simple runes, and the emperors in ancient times did not necessarily have such masters around them.
This time the wall slowly slid in towards the left. As the wall slid in, a ray of light finally shot out from the gap in the wall. At the same time, along with this light, Qin Yu and others felt very
A comfortable breath wafts out.
This breath wafted out, making Qin Yu and others take a greedy breath. It felt like eating ginseng fruit, and the pores all over the body stretched out comfortably.
