Chapter 277 The Living, Death Penalty
"What? You really got lucky?"
Yu Guo smiled and glanced at the fallen Hong Fu, joking.
But slowly he saw a strange look on Hong Fu's face, and his right palm trembled slightly, as if he was pressing something.
Dong Yuan also realized that something was wrong, and quickly stepped over to pull Hong Fu up from the ground.
"What's the situation?"
Hong Fu held the bar in his hand and lifted it in front of everyone.
It looked like a token, with ancient small seal characters engraved on it. It was a bit obscure, but it was vaguely recognizable as a name.
Hong Fu carefully touched the lines on it, and once again felt a chill passing from his fingers to his heart.
And finally shook his head in the shocked and expectant eyes of everyone: "There is no information about the sin object, it should be something like a road pass..."
Yu Guo waved his hand and immediately lost interest, and then walked to the first row with Chang Nian and evacuated Naihe Bridge.
Everyone has a pass. The ghost messenger had distributed it to everyone when they just passed the gate of hell. Presumably, this pass was left by the souls who were affected by the disaster on the Naihe Bridge.
Hongfu scratched his head, and it was hard to hide the disappointment on his face. He wanted to throw it into the Wangchuan River out of bad luck, but after thinking about it, he took it into his arms.
…
The Naihe Bridge was finally passed by the sincere cooperation of the two branches.
And this long road to the underworld has not yet come to the end. The last and most difficult one is right in front of us.
Fengdu City.
The two branches were divided into two teams, and a total of eleven people finally arrived here after going through hardships.
In the eternal night of the wind and clouds, an ancient city gate stood in front of everyone.
There is a couplet on the gate behind the suspension bridge on the ancient and majestic city wall:
The upper couplet: People and ghosts, ghosts and people, people and ghosts have different paths;
The lower couplet: Yin and Yang, Yang and Yin, Yin and Yang are forever separated.
As for the horizontal scroll of this couplet, it is not here. There is a huge plaque on the gate tower with three big characters engraved on it: "Fengdu City".
The mission clearly stated that their mission this time was to go to the depths of Fengshan Mountain, find a coffin that can be replaced, and then return safely to complete the mission.
And along the way, no coffin that can be replaced was found, so the final Fengdu City should be the ultimate place to complete the mission.
This wide city gate was not guarded by anyone, but when Ji Li and the other eleven people arrived at the door, the suspended suspension bridge creaked and was slowly lowered.
From then on, the Fengdu City that only existed in legends and led to the depths of Fengshan Mountain was revealed to everyone.
"Let's go into the city."
Li Congrong's chest was still aching. This soft armor absorbed the supernatural power, but it also indirectly corroded his body.
The sixty-year-old body could no longer support such a high-intensity task frequency.
He looked at the towering city gate in front of him with a complicated expression and gave the order. The people in the fifth branch naturally had no objection and followed him into Fengdu City.
The seventh branch did not make any move.
Ji Li no longer had the civet cat on him at this time. The cat disappeared again after dealing with Meng Po.
He had long been accustomed to its elusive style of doing things and had no time to care.
He was observing the scene after the city gate was opened. There were also several city gates facing the entrance.
Ji Li didn't know much about Fengdu City, so he looked at Chang Nian before entering.
Chang Nian cleared his throat, walked from the center of the team to the front, stood parallel to Ji Li, and said softly:
"The Fengdu City is divided into ten halls, which are what we often call the Ten Yama.
And the ten Yama Kings are the final enemies we have to face...
We enter the Fengdu City, which means we have no choice. The Yincha will take us to the judge for interrogation.
We will be punished according to the good and evil in our lives, and go to which hall.
But no matter which hall, we will eventually go to the tenth hall. The Yama King of the Tenth Hall is the King of Samsara, who will send us into reincarnation and return to the human world."
What Chang Nian said has always been the guiding principle for the seventh branch, and it has been fulfilled along the way.
In other words, the enemies they will face next will be surprisingly difficult.
First the judge, then the Ten Yama Kings. Perhaps these two levels do not require facing the most powerful Yama King directly, but in the end, if you want to leave the underworld, you must negotiate with the King of Samsara in the Tenth Hall.
I am afraid that the task of changing the coffin will also be completed in the reincarnation.
Ji Li's face was not very good, because he knew very well that whether it was himself or Chang Nian and others, they should not appear in Fengdu City at this time.
For example, he should be punished in Avici Hell at this time; and Chang Nian and others should be waiting for judgment in the City of Wrongful Death.
It can be said that the simple first level is impossible to get through the judge.
"What should I do? It's impossible to get through by force, and it's impossible to get through by getting through..." Dong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and her delicate face was full of panic.
She had performed well all the way before, and the main reason was that the crisis was not hers, and Chang Nian and Yu Guo resisted.
But now the judge is going to judge everyone, and this time she can't ask for others' protection anyway.
"Is there any way to bypass the first two levels and go directly to the Tenth Hall?" Ji Li frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Chang Nian laughed bitterly: "You think too highly of me. I just know some procedures. We don't know anything. It's easier to be discovered if we break in and walk around randomly."
"Then stop talking nonsense, go directly to the city, and adapt to circumstances."
Ji Li didn't want to waste time. Too much time had been spent along the way. They only had 48 hours for the mission.
At this moment, more than half has passed. It is currently ten o'clock in the evening on November 15th, and there are still 22 hours left before the prescribed time.
But no one can guarantee that the task can really be completed within these 22 hours.
The team from the fifth store had already entered the city. Looking at their backs, Ji Li stepped forward without hesitation.
He didn't want to be too far away from the fifth branch. It was best to be able to walk alongside them. If something happened, he would at least have a way to fight back.
Fengdu City is becoming more and more grand, which shows that living people are getting closer and closer to it.
In the underworld where the wind was blowing wildly, Ji Li squinted his eyes and saw a pair of evil spirits standing at the gate of the city for a long time.
That pair of Yin difference is very special.
One on the left and one on the right, the standing posture is very stiff, as straight as two steel plates.
The one on the left is wearing a long white coat, holding a soul-calling flag in his hand. Under a tall hat, his pale face has a slender scarlet tongue hanging down to his chest.
The one on the right was completely black, as if he had just been smoked by fire. He also wore a high hat and had extremely cold eyes.
There is no need to explain anything. This pair of special differences is the well-known black and white impermanence.
It is also a top-level Yinsha whose level is even higher than that of Bull-Head-Horse Face.
Ji Li hadn't walked in front of them yet, but there was already a thump in his heart.
Because before he got close, he had already seen Li Congrong and other people from the fifth branch, all blocked by Black and White Wuchang.
A low and mysterious voice came from there, and those words made Ji Li's heart twitch.
"The living have broken into Hades! The living have broken into Hades!"
The most terrible thing was that Bai Wuchang, the black and white Wuchang who spoke, actually looked beyond the fifth branch and pointed the soul-summoning flag in his hand at Ji Li and others who had just arrived.
"The living, eleven people, are guilty of death!"
