Chapter 337: Netherworld
"Are we dead?"
The two villains looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
They were very reluctant to believe this.
However, it is a fact that there is no shadow under your feet.
Their current state can be said to be not even that of a soul.
Because the soul is connected to the physical body, it also has a certain blurry shadow.
They didn't even have a shadow, nor could they sense the existence of their own physical bodies.
So at this moment, they can be said to be undead.
"Haha, so what if I die."
The man with missing ears laughed loudly, "We three brothers did all kinds of evil in the world of the living, and no one could do anything to us. Now that we are in the underworld, no one can do anything to us either.
And it’s even better that there is an afterlife. Before, I was worried that I would turn into ashes after death, but now that there is an afterlife, there is nothing to be afraid of when I die.”
The other two villains were cheered up when they heard this, and thought that this seemed to be the case.
It would be better to have an underworld where they can continue to live happily.
However, what they didn't know was that the Mandragora flower had an extremely powerful spiritual impact.
As the three of them chatted and laughed, they were pulled into a deeper spiritual fantasy by the Mandragora Flower.
Then the three of them continued to move forward.
The world before their eyes was completely an illusion created by the mandala flower.
The three of them were completely unaware of this.
In front of them, the road of fire was extremely long, as if it was endless.
This finally made the three of them a little frightened.
Is it true that their life in the underworld is to walk on this road illuminated by fire for the rest of their lives?
Fortunately.
I don’t know how many days I walked, it seemed like half a year, or even several years.
Just when they were about to despair, they finally came to the end of the Fire Road.
There is a river ahead.
This river is somewhat similar to the Sui River.
However, the Suihe River in this underworld is not the Suihe River, but the Styx River.
Soon the three evil men were covered in goosebumps.
I saw that the River Styx was filled with densely packed ghosts.
The ghosts in the River Styx are real.
The ghosts inside come from the original Maha space dominated by the Mandala.
These are the ghosts formed by the lives killed by Mandragora over the years.
In the last battle between the Wu and Huang families alone, hundreds of thousands of ghosts were detained by the Mandala Lord.
In the past, the number was much higher.
Therefore, there are millions of souls in the Styx.
At this point, the three evil men were even more certain that this was the Netherworld Hell.
By the river, there was a woman in black whose face could not be seen clearly.
This woman is the incarnation of the consciousness that dominates the mandala.
"Mother Meng."
The three evil men felt that the ghosts were about to be frozen.
"escape."
The three villains turned around and tried to escape.
As a result, something terrible happened.
The woman in black looked at them.
Then even though they were clearly trying to retreat, their souls were still moving forward.
This feeling of being unable to control themselves made them even more frightened.
In the end, the three of them returned uncontrollably to the River Styx and stepped onto a bridge.
“This is the Naihe Bridge.”
The three evil men trembled in fear.
This Naihe Bridge is the transformation of the Maha Realm dominated by Mandala.
Once they stepped onto the Naihe Bridge, they entered a deeper level of illusion.
In the illusion, they fell into the eighteen levels of hell.
After the three evil men suffered horrific torture, the Lord of Mandala released their souls.
The edge of the foggy restricted area.
The three evil men suddenly woke up.
When they saw that they had returned to the real world, they were extremely excited.
After taking another horrified look at the foggy restricted area, they fled as quickly as possible.
Luofu Mountain.
"The three evil men tried to sneak into the Misty Forbidden Zone, but ended up entering the Netherworld Hell?"
This news alarmed the three great ancestors of Luofu Mountain.
Because even in the era of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty, the Netherworld did not exist.
Moreover, the underworld and hell involve matters after death, which no cultivator can ignore.
At their level of cultivation, their lifespan is already very long.
But they will still die.
He might be killed by a powerful enemy, or by a heavenly calamity, or he might encounter some other disaster...
"How can this be."
"According to some of the information we have obtained, the cycle of reincarnation should have collapsed."
"But what those three evil men said was very serious."
The three great ancestors were in disbelief, yet also showed a certain expectation.
There is great terror between life and death.
There are also great opportunities.
If they could get a glimpse into the secret of life and death, perhaps they could find the way to become immortal.
"Go and capture those three evil men and interrogate them in person, and you will find out."
The three Luofu Mountain ancestors are very efficient.
The reason why the three evil men were not caught before was that they were not in the eyes of the three ancestors.
Once they are targeted by the ancestor-level beings, there is no way they can escape.
Just one day later, the three villains were caught by the Nanling City officials.
It is obvious that the officials in Nanling City do not have this ability.
It was the masters from Luofu Mountain who worked in secret.
In court.
The three evil men trembled and shook all over.
It was obvious that the descent into the underworld that day had affected their sanity.
"Hell, hell."
"Naihe Bridge, Mengpo."
The three evil guys had dilated pupils and spoke nonsense.
"crazy?"
The officials nearby and the spectators outside the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Maybe he's pretending."
"It doesn't look like he's pretending. Look at that flower thief. He was so scared that he peed his pants."
It was precisely because the three of them did not seem to be pretending that the people around them felt a chill run down their spines.
Does hell really exist in this world?
Many people do all kinds of evil, thinking that there is no underworld or hell, and no cause and effect or retribution.
If the underworld really existed, perhaps many people would not dare to be so presumptuous.
"Hell, the eighteen levels of hell."
The three evil guys were still there saying terrifying words.
Right above the lobby, the person hearing the case was Wen Yuchao.
Seeing that the three evil men had gone crazy, Wen Yuchao frowned and said, "These three people are extremely evil. Put them in the dungeon for now and take them to Qingqiu City to be executed tomorrow."
In theory, Nanling City is of too low a level to have the power to execute criminals.
The three villains were soon thrown into the dungeon.
In the dungeon.
An old man has been waiting here for a long time.
He is Zheng Yin, the third ancestor of Luofu Mountain.
Seeing the looks of the three evil guys, Zheng Yin also frowned.
Then, two dark lights flashed from his eyes.
This is the art of searching the soul.
Those whose souls are searched usually don't end up well.
However, these three people were already death row prisoners, so Zheng Yin did not feel the slightest bit disturbed.
Soon, he read the scenes of what the pretty boy had experienced from the pretty boy's soul memory.
This memory picture clearly reveals the scene of the netherworld.
Zheng Yin was completely moved.
Although memories can be false, for example, if you are under an illusion, it is easy to form false memories.
But the reality of the matter is already very great.
If this is the case, then the foggy restricted area is more extraordinary than Luofushan imagined.
Previously, when Luofu Mountain was dealing with the Misty Forbidden Zone, it had always positioned itself as an ally.
But what if there really is a netherworld hidden in the foggy restricted area?
Then Luofu Mountain needs to think carefully and reposition itself.
Theoretically, these old monsters have very long lifespans.
However, their lifespan is not as long as imagined.
Because every natural disaster will shorten their lifespan.
They seemed to have won the battle against heaven, but in fact, even if they survived the heavenly calamity, they still paid a huge price in terms of lifespan.
And there is no way to avoid the heavenly calamity.
Even when they are asleep, the Qi of heaven and earth in their bodies will grow.
The growth of the Qi of heaven and earth is equal to the growth of the calamity energy.
That's why they were so excited when they heard the news about the Netherworld.
The chance of becoming an immortal is very slim, which forces them to consider what happens after death.
Even immortals may not be immortal.
Then, Zheng Yin used the soul-searching technique on the other two villains.
There are also ghostly scenes in the memories of the other two villains.
The possibility of the existence of the underworld is infinitely close to reality.
However, there was still a trace of doubt in Zheng Yin's heart.
This matter is really too serious and he has to be cautious.
"It seems that if I want to verify this matter thoroughly, I have to go there myself."
Zheng Yin made a decision.
Immediately, Zheng Yin left Nanling City and came to the edge of the foggy restricted area.
Looking at the fog ahead, Zheng Yin suddenly smiled and gave up the idea of going in.
Firstly, sneaking in like this was not fair, and secondly, he figured out a lot of things when he stood here.
There was no need for those three evil men to lie to him.
There was no need to set up a trap to deceive him in the Misty Forbidden Zone.
Because this is something that is very easy to expose.
Besides, the Misty Forbidden Zone had no motive to lie to him.
The discovery of the three evil men in Luofu Mountain was just a coincidence.
He also came to Nanling City on a whim.
These could not have been arranged by the Mist Forbidden Zone.
Therefore, the only truth is that there really is a netherworld in the Misty Forbidden Zone.
If we abandon this unnecessary suspicion, everything will become clear.
"Luofu Mountain's attitude towards the Misty Forbidden Zone must change."
A sense of urgency arose in Zheng Yin's heart.
He must find an opportunity to formally pay a visit to the Lord of Mist.
At that moment, Zheng Yin looked deeply in the direction of the foggy restricted area, then turned and left.
This matter must be handled with caution, so he did not rashly go directly to meet the Lord of Mist.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The city of Nanling was quite lively that day.
Today is Qingzhou’s famous “Community Day Festival”.
Initially, it was used to offer sacrifices and pray for good farming, and later it developed into praying to God for good weather and good harvests, and the monks prayed for their own spiritual practice to be successful.
The entrance to the Nanling City Government Office was quite lively at the moment.
The city lord Li Qianjue was walking back and forth, seemingly waiting for something.
"Not here yet?"
Li Qianjue said.
"not yet."
The officers said helplessly.
The city lord has asked this question hundreds of times.
Finally, after half a quarter of an hour.
"Lord City Lord, here we come!"
A messenger came to report.
Li Qianjue's face suddenly showed joy.
I saw a cavalry team with extraordinary momentum coming towards the government office from a distance.
In the center is a luxurious carriage with a canopy pulled by four horses.
The car curtain slowly opened.
A woman with a beautiful face walked out of the carriage, helped by a maid.
The people nearby were all looking forward to it.
This woman is Li Qianjue’s wife’s younger sister, or sister-in-law.
Li Qianjue's wife died before Lingxing, and he never remarried.
Li Qianjue’s father-in-law’s surname is “Shangguan”.
This is an absolutely powerful clan in Daxia.
However, the Shangguan family has a common problem among large families, which is that they are rather snobbish.
Or in other words, they know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.
Before this, Li Qianjue's wife died, he had no prospects in his career, and he was entangled with the Misty Forbidden Zone.
So the Shangguan family has had little contact with Li Qianjue.
Now that the influence of the Misty Forbidden Zone is growing, the Shangguan family immediately thought of contacting Li Qianjue again.
Naturally, Li Qianjue was quite disheartened by the Yue family's behavior.
However, the Shangguan family only made one move, making it impossible for Li Qianjue to refuse the Shangguan family.
This time, the Shangguan family sent Li Qianjue's sister-in-law Shangguan Zhao.
This sister-in-law has always had a good relationship with Li Qianjue.
The reason why he didn't come to see Li Qianjue was because he was forbidden by his family in the past.
Li Qianjue could blame other people in the Shangguan family, but he couldn't blame his sister-in-law.
Moreover, the sister-in-law is always special in a man's heart.
Li Qianjue was no exception.
"Brother-in-law."
When he saw Li Qianjue, Shangguan Zhao smiled and his eyes became slightly moist.
Obviously she missed Li Qianjue too.
"Zhao'er."
Li Qianjue wanted to go forward and support Shangguan Zhao, but due to the difference between men and women, he had to stop.
Next, Li Qianjue led Shangguan Zhao inside, and the two sides reminisced about the past.
"Brother-in-law."
On the way, Shangguan Zhao asked curiously, "I heard that you have been to the Misty Forbidden Zone a lot. Is the Misty Forbidden Zone really that magical?"
Li Qianjue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is indeed extraordinary."
"Then, brother-in-law, have you ever seen the Lord of Mist?"
Shangguan Zhao said.
Li Qianjue recalled: "Three years ago, I had the honor of seeing his shadow, but unfortunately, I was probably not blessed enough, so I only talked to him for a few words and didn't have much contact with him.
However, Wen Yuchao, one of my subordinates, has seen the Lord of Mist up close."
Shangguan Zhao became even more interested: "I don't know what kind of grace the Lord of Mist has."
“It’s hard to tell.”
Li Qianjue said: "If I have to describe it, I can only say that it is the reincarnation of a god."
Shangguan Zhao pursed his lips, obviously a little unconvinced.
But she also didn't want to expose Li Qianjue.
She was a woman from a prominent family and knew the politicians' methods well.
It is common to exaggerate some things for the sake of political achievements or interests.
Some people said before that the Lord of the Far North was like a god, but later the Far North forbidden area was destroyed.
Some people also praised the masters from the spiritual world and the Central Wilderness as being miraculous, and later said that many of those masters were killed in the Misty Forbidden Zone.
"Brother-in-law, I will live in Nanling City for a while."
Shangguan Zhao said: "During this period of time, I must understand the customs and practices of Qingzhou."
Li Qianjue was very happy: "Because of the Misty Forbidden Zone, the order in Qingzhou is now extremely stable. As long as you don't step into the Misty Forbidden Zone, there won't be many safety issues outside.
And today is the Community Day, you came at the right time."
Next, Li Qianjue accompanied Shangguan Zhao for an afternoon.
But he was the city lord after all, and he had many things to deal with. As it was approaching dusk, he could only let Shangguan Zhao go out and play by himself.
Shangguan Zhao was walking on the street outside.
It was discovered that the Lord of Mist had a great influence in Nanling City.
Community festivals in other places are all about worshipping the gods, but in Nanling City, many people actually worship the Lord of Mist.
This shows that in these people’s hearts, the Lord of Mist is God.
This made Shangguan Zhao frown secretly.
The Shangguan family has actually been secretly communicating with old people from the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.
In the eyes of the Shangguan family, the old people of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty are very powerful and will sooner or later regain the Great Xia territory.
The Shangguan family is placing their bets in advance.
But looking at the current situation in Nanling City and Qingzhou, it will not be favorable for the future rule of the Yuhua Immortal Dynasty.
Shangguan Zhao walked to the community temple in Nanling City.
As a result, in the center of the temple, there was not a statue of any other gods or immortals, but a painting.
In the painting, there is an ancient ginkgo tree.
"Is this the Lord of the Mist?"
Shangguan Zhao said.
Wen Yuchao was beside him: "That's right."
"During this journey, I heard many rumors about the Lord of Mist."
Shangguan Zhao said: "Deputy General Wen, do you think these rumors are true or false?"
"Of course it's true."
Wen Yuchao said.
Shangguan Zhao smiled: "Some people say that there is a netherworld in the misty restricted area. Is this true?"
"If it were anywhere else, the rumor would definitely be false."
Wen Yuchao said: "But if it is in the Misty Forbidden Zone, it is naturally true."
Shangguan Zhao smiled but said nothing.
In her opinion, what Wen Yuchao said was too fake.
