Chapter 254 Avici Hell
This is just the Ghost Gate, the first stop in the underworld.
Seven shop assistants each received a token from the ghost messenger, and there was no difference. All of them were assigned to the "Wrongful Death City".
"What is the Wrongful Death City?"
Ji Li didn't understand much about this, but seeing Chang Nian's bad face, he could roughly guess that this was not a good place.
Chang Nian heard this and was about to speak when he saw the hazy feeling under the Ghost Gate archway appear again, and this time a large number of evil ghosts poured in.
But these ghosts are not the hideous and strange ghosts they usually see in their missions.
On the contrary, they are not much different from living people, but this is only superficial.
For example, the first ghost who just walked in, before waiting for a few steps, its head suddenly broke off from the neck, but it did not feel any pain.
Instead, it searched on the ground with its hands for a long time before pressing its head back to its original position.
It is conceivable that it may have died in this way, and the other ghosts also have similar situations.
The shop assistants stepped aside to make way for the newly reported ghosts, and continued to discuss outside the edge.
Chang Nian looked at Ji Li's face, then said with a bad look:
"According to rumors, there are two ways to travel to the underworld.
One is to walk on the Yellow Spring Road, passing through Wangxiangtai, Evil Dog Territory, Jinji Mountain, Sansheng Stone, Naihe Bridge, and finally enter Fengdu City to accept the final hearing and reincarnation.
The other is the wronged souls who died prematurely before their life span.
For example, suicide, disaster, war, accident, murder, and murder, all deaths are called wrongful deaths.
The Wrongful Death City is actually a prison, where these wronged souls are imprisoned until their original life span ends.
But... the Wrongful Death City is the fourteenth level of hell. Once you enter it, you will be punished until your life span ends, and then you will reincarnate again."
Chang Nian said a lot in one breath, which was also hearsay, and it is not clear whether it is accurate.
But now that the underworld has come, I am afraid that anything can happen.
"What kind of punishment will the Wrongful Death City receive?" Tian Xiaoyu asked softly, hiding behind Chang Nian.
"How a person dies means that he will continue to experience the same way of death. For example, if you drown, then you will be drowned again and again in the next few decades."
Chang Nian did not dare to think too much. She still did not want to believe that she had really come to hell, but the current situation seemed to be going on as she guessed.
"Then how can we... not be dead at all?" Dong Yuan frowned and raised a seemingly nonsensical but extremely important question.
Ji Li realized the difficulty of the current situation from Dong Yuan's words.
"We must not go to the Wrongful Death City. We are here to complete the mission, not to be punished. There is no time.
Secondly, our identities are forged. Ordinary characters may not be able to see through them, but I guess the existence above the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced will see through them at a glance.
We must not come into direct contact with them, otherwise we will die."
This is the underworld. Judging from the previous ghost messenger, they already have strength that they cannot match.
But then, a large number of ghost soldiers will appear, which can also be regarded as a ghost tide.
The ghost tide is not over yet, and it will be followed by the Ox-Headed Horse-Face, then the Black and White Impermanence, the Judge, and even the King of Hell.
The ghost tide cannot be resisted with the power of the Seventh Branch, let alone the heavyweight and mythical beings behind. I am afraid that if one of them appears, they will not be able to deal with it.
"Regardless of whether we can avoid going to the City of Wrongful Death, even if we take the Yellow Spring Road, we will eventually enter Fengdu City.
We will meet these beings sooner or later, this is simply not true!"
Yu Guo's face was ashen. Now no one cares about the authenticity of the underworld in front of them, as long as they survive.
Ji Li slowly closed his eyes. The current Seventh Branch was too weak. Although they had brought out all the sins in the branch on this trip, it was still useless.
Now Yu Guo has a script and a perfume bottle in his hand, and Chang Nian has a black umbrella in his hand, but apart from the creativity of the script, they have no ability to directly resist powerful ghosts.
Fang Shenyan's strongest sin object in the entire branch has already recognized its master. No one can use him unless he dies.
"We have to find the fifth branch and take the initiative to find it. This is the only way!"
Ji Li now recognizes a reality, that is, relying solely on the power of the seventh branch, they will definitely die on this trip, and there is no possibility of survival.
Then there is only the fifth branch left. They have been stuck at the level of a two-star hotel for a long time. Although the progress is slow, the foundation is deep.
And this is their promotion task, and they will definitely do their best to fight.
In other words, only by finding the fifth branch and relying on their power can they return to the world from the underworld.
"The problem now is, how can we not go to the City of Wrongful Death!" Chang Nian stabilized the army's heart in time and solved the current problem first.
It is obviously the arrangement of the hotel. They are all set as people who died in vain. It is estimated that in a short time, the ghost will appear and detain them and go to the City of Wrongful Death.
Time is running out.
Ji Li did not regard this problem as a difficult problem. He had a countermeasure in his mind and pouted at the group of ghosts who received the token.
"Chang Nian used an umbrella to capture all these ghosts and snatched their tokens!"
"This..." Chang Nian hesitated.
Except for the sinful creatures, even these few little ghosts are not something the shop assistants can deal with, so even if they use up one chance, there is nothing to regret.
But this idea is absolutely shocking. This is the underworld. Do you want to do it here?
What's more, there is a ghost messenger sitting under the gate of hell!
"It's just a ghost messenger. If we don't take it in, it will be exposed sooner or later. By then, even if we can't hide it, we will have already walked on the road to the underworld."
Ji Li's eyes became sharp. Time is very urgent. If it drags on, the ghost messenger responsible for escorting will arrive.
Chang Nian didn't hesitate this time. Fortunately, there were not many new ghosts reported. Including the ghost messenger, there were only five or six, which was within the range of the umbrella.
She opened the umbrella and waved it towards the gate of hell. Everything in front of her was cleared immediately.
Only a table and a chair were left in place. The original ghosts had already been put into the umbrella.
…
On the Yellow Spring Road, there is no sun, no moon, no stars, only dimness and dead silence.
This is the most comfortable environment I have seen along the way, although it is not very beautiful.
But at dusk when the surroundings are close to the human world, there is always a sense of familiarity.
Ji Li walked forward with the coffin on his back, lowered his body to touch the loess road under his feet, and picked up a grain of sand.
The roadside on both sides was full of blood-red flowers, which were the red spider lilies, and the only scenery on this Yellow Spring Road.
The petals growing upwards were like the fingers of a living person pointing to the sky, eager to grasp the vitality, but unfortunately it was guiding the dead souls into the netherworld.
"If it goes as expected, our next stop will be Wangxiangtai, which is not very dangerous. The most dangerous are the Evil Dog Territory and Jinji Mountain behind it."
Chang Nian's face was blown dry by the sand and stones. She held her chest, which was still in severe pain, and said softly.
Ji Li gently brushed the coffin behind him. He was thinking about the mysterious places along the way, which ones could be laid out with the script and the crime objects, and it would be best to set a return point.
At this moment, a hurried sound of horse hooves came from behind them, and the dust was noisy. Ji Li even felt the ground shaking.
The shop assistants turned their heads unconsciously. Since they walked on the Yellow Spring Road, they had not seen other figures. This was the only one.
But they couldn't help feeling guilty. After all, they had robbed the qualification to go to the Yellow Spring Road, and the one who came on horseback was probably of extraordinary status. They could only pray that he was just passing by.
Unfortunately, things always go against one's wishes. The figure on horseback was getting closer and closer, and a black-faced ghost in black armor stopped in front of the shop assistants.
The momentum brought by this look was no less than the pressure of the two ghosts. I'm afraid it was also an extraordinary ghost.
It passed over the faces of each shop assistant one by one until it stopped in front of Ji Li and never moved again.
Ji Li's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, something unexpected happened again, and this time it seemed to be directed at him.
"You, follow me."
"Where to?"
"Avici Hell."
