Chapter 223: Underworld, Fragments of the Wheel of Ten Thousand Demons
Along with Zhou Pan'er's last chant, the song fell.
The strange stone finally turned completely reddish-brown. The stone trembled slightly, and then it clicked like a door lock. The stone slowly turned away, and a deep cave appeared in front of you. You couldn't see your fingers in the cave.
Fu Shaoping patted the storage bag.
A flash of light.
Several moon stones are inlaid on the stone wall.
The cave passage suddenly became brighter.
However, the traces left by the power of thunder and lightning can be clearly seen on the stone wall.
The passage has no end as far as the eye can see, it seems endless.
After Fu Shaoping helped Zhou Pan'er enter the cave, the three of them walked forward. When they reached the end, they found that the surroundings suddenly became cold, there were gusts of wind, and there were sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Fu Shaoping was stunned.
"This feeling"
Like the underworld of chaotic space.
Could it be.
This passage leads to the underworld. Why did the ancestor of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox seal the fragments of the Ten Thousand Demon Wheels in the underworld.
Feeling the biting cold all around.
Zhou Pan'er didn't wait for Fu Shaoping and others to speak this time, and said directly:
"Shaoping, Granny Xue, let's go. We won't look for the fragments of the Ten Thousand Demon Wheels anymore. Let's go back the way we came."
There were wailing ghosts all around.
It looks like an ominous place at first glance.
Granny Xue was still seriously injured.
She didn't want anything like the previous Thunderstorm to happen again.
Fu Shaoping patted Zhou Pan'er comfortingly:
"Pan'er, you and Granny Xue go out first."
Grandma Xue was seriously injured, and Zhou Pan'er had consumed too much blood. The two of them were weak at the time when they were most vulnerable to invasion by evil spirits, so they were not suitable to stay in the underworld for too long.
Zhou Paner grabbed Fu Shaoping with all his strength:
"No, Shaoping, you don't need to take risks for me, let's leave together."
Ning Ning cannot live without her father.
She doesn't want her daughter to be like her.
Fu Shaoping looked steadily into Zhou Pan'er's eyes:
"Pan'er, you've been following me for so long, and you've never seen me being reckless or overestimating my own capabilities. Don't worry, if I'm unable to defeat you, I will retreat as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Granny Xue glanced at Fu Shaoping more.
Fu Shaoping was able to say these words. First of all, the other party was responsible, but the other party was full of confidence. It was obvious that he had a trump card in his hand, and this trump card should be the reason why the opponent was able to survive the thunderous hurricane safely.
Therefore.
Without waiting for Zhou Paner's reply.
Grandma Xue said:
"Okay, then Shaoping, you must be careful."
Said.
Granny Xue took Zhou Pan'er and left from the passage.
After the two figures disappeared.
Fu Shaoping stepped into the underworld ahead.
at the same time.
A thought.
Summoned all the fierce ghosts in the temple of the underworld.
Fu Shaoping scanned his body with his consciousness and found that the other party's Yin power had returned to its peak. He couldn't help but be surprised:
"Wanxiang, how fast is your Yin energy recovery?"
"Reporting to the master, unlike Wangui Banner, in the underworld, especially in temples, I feel that practicing can get twice the result with half the effort and is very fast."
Wanxiang looked happy.
He turned around and looked around, and said:
"Master, are we in the underworld?"
I have been in the underworld for a long time.
He sensed this familiar scent immediately.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly.
Subsequently.
Let all the fierce ghosts lead the way according to the guidance of the jade talisman.
After walking forward for about a few miles.
The yin energy was obviously getting stronger. Fu Shaoping glanced at it and saw several yakshas smelling human scent and wanting to make a move. However, after their eyes fell on the fierce ghost Wanxiang, they retreated one by one.
The fierce ghosts and myriad phenomena are at the fourth level.
The cultivation level of Yuan Dan realm.
Naturally, these little devils dare not take action rashly.
But more and more little ghosts gathered together. Fu Shaoping frowned. He was afraid that it would be inappropriate to continue, so he frowned and said immediately:
"Wanxiang, it's all about flying."
According to the jade talisman's guidance.
There seems to be a long way to go.
The fierce ghost Wanxiang responded, and made a few puffs at the shoulder socket. The black wings broke out of the body, and flew away with Fu Shaoping. In the blink of an eye, he left behind the surrounding imps.
After flying some distance.
There was a sudden sound of dog barking from ahead.
But a hundred-foot-high mountain came into view.
Closer.
Only then did we realize that this high mountain was actually made of piles of bones.
Fu Shaoping couldn't help feeling terrified.
The master and servant just approached.
But I saw a gloomy wind.
Dogs barked one after another.
Vicious dogs sprang out from the mountains. They had sharp mouths and fangs, and their bodies were already like wolves and tigers. Their eyes were glowing green, and they were staring at Fu Shaoping's master and servant.
This scene before my eyes.
It reminded him of a folk legend.
It is said that dogs are spiritual beings, and they are the medium that communicates between the yin and yang worlds.
Dogs can see ghosts in the underworld.
People who keep dogs will find that they will never sleep on a hot bed, in order to be wary of ghosts approaching the courtyard. Whenever a ghost approaches, the dog will bark to scare the ghost away, thereby protecting the family.
The high mountain in front of you should be the legendary Evil Dog Ridge, which is specially used to intercept the souls leading to the underworld.
"Wanxiang, fly higher."
Fu Shaoping didn't want to cause trouble.
I planned to just ignore it and fly over from high altitude.
Wanxiang responded and flapped his wings. The black wings flapped fiercely and he was over the Evil Dog Ridge in an instant.
at this time.
Fu Shaoping glanced down.
But he saw that the eyes of these vicious dogs were full of sarcasm and ridicule:
"No!"
Fu Shaoping was alert.
He immediately slapped his storage bag, and a flash of light appeared, and the flying sword fell into his hand.
At this time.
A terrifying suction force suddenly came from the high mountains below.
Wanxiang's body was unstable and was falling rapidly. Obviously, this vicious dog ridge had a flight ban.
Fu Shaoping pinched his hands, and the rolling vitality condensed into a green vine. The green vine fell to the ground as fast as lightning, and with this force, it avoided the vicious dogs waiting below.
"Woof woof woof!"
The vicious dogs pounced in vain.
They turned around immediately.
But they trembled slightly, and the green hair on their bodies immediately shot out, turning into sharp arrows that covered Fu Shaoping and came to encircle him. The tails of these sharp arrows were carrying a small green flame.
Although far away.
But Fu Shaoping still felt a dull pain in his soul:
"You must not be stuck by these green flames!"
Fu Shaoping hit the ground with one palm.
Boom!
Countless bones surged up from the depths of the ground, and in a flash, they condensed into a protective wall of bones around him.
Ding Ding Ding!
Thousands of arrows rained down on the bone wall.
The bone wall collapsed.
It even blocked for a moment.
"Roar!"
The critical moment.
The fierce ghost Wanxiang's spell changed and roared.
But he saw that his nose was constantly stretching, like an elephant's nose. With a fierce flick of his nose, a terrifying suction force came out, and the vicious dogs that were originally flying towards him screamed in fear. Their souls were pulled out into milky white silk threads, which were uniformly absorbed by Wanxiang's nose. In a blink of an eye, the figures of the nearest vicious dogs turned into a ball of white smoke with a bang and were absorbed by Wanxiang's long nose. "Woof woof woof!"
The vicious dogs retreated one after another, not daring to go up.
However.
The green light in their eyes became even stronger.
Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes, and before they could launch another attack, he immediately activated the Panlong Jue.
The totem on his arm immediately became hot!
Yellow light condensed all over the sky.
"Roar!"
The little white dragon jumped out of the yellow light and directly swung its tail at the vicious dog blocking the way.
"Woof woof woof"
The vicious dog blocking the way had not had time to react, and was instantly beaten to ashes.
The master and servant directly killed the gods and the Buddhas. Seeing that their companions had lost half of theirs, the vicious dogs, who were originally aggressive, began to retreat to the mountains and hide one by one:
"Let's go!"
Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief.
Without delaying for a moment, he retracted the spell and immediately activated the Dengyun Step, crossing the Evil Dog Ridge at a very fast speed.
After coming down from the mountain.
Fu Shaoping looked back.
But he saw the top of the mountain.
At this time, tens of thousands of vicious dogs were bowing down at the feet of a vicious dog that was as tall as a tiger:
"What is this?"
Fu Shaoping's pupils shrank.
In the Evil Dog Ridge, there are obviously higher-level beings.
This underworld is really dangerous.
He looked down at the jade talisman, but saw that the distance indicated by the jade talisman seemed to be close at hand, but every step forward, he found that it was still a long distance away from the destination.
"Burp"
The fierce ghost Wanxiang put away his long nose, transformed into his original appearance, and burped with satisfaction.
Fu Shaoping could sense an unfriendly gaze from behind, which was filled with monstrous hatred. It came from the vicious dog as tall as a tiger. The eyes of the vicious dog were full of humanity, and they seemed familiar:
"Could it be that the evil man I got rid of before was parasitic on this vicious dog?"
Fu Shaoping didn't want to delve into it.
It is not suitable to stay here for long:
"Wanxiang, let's go, and continue on the road."
"Yes, Master!"
After a full meal, the fierce ghost Wanxiang's cultivation level has obviously increased a little. He is in a good mood and spreads his wings again.
He flew less than a few hundred meters.
A foul smell came.
Fu Shaoping looked down.
But he saw a gully that stretched endlessly, and the gully was full of blood and flesh:
"The Corpse Smashing Ravine?"
He had seen it in ancient books.
This is a human who accidentally broke into the underworld. He was caught by the golden rooster of Jinji Mountain and torn into pieces and thrown into this place.
In other words.
Not far ahead is Jinji Mountain.
Fu Shaoping frowned slightly.
Whether it is the Evil Dog Ridge or Jinji Mountain, it is just a checkpoint to the underworld.
In other words, although the land he is in now is the underworld, he has not yet entered the real underworld.
If there is really a underworld.
There will be four soul messengers, namely the soul-catching messenger, the soul-ferrying messenger, the soul-stealing messenger, and the soul-eating messenger; there are also the four judges headed by Judge Cui, the Ten Yama Kings, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Four Ghost Kings, and even the 19th level of hell that is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, the residence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Legend has it that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that he would not become a Buddha until hell is empty.
Just thinking about it, Fu Shaoping felt his scalp tingling.
After flying over the Broken Meat Valley.
A Golden Rooster Mountain really appeared in front of him.
"Cuckoo"
The sound of roosters crowing came from the Rooster Mountain.
As soon as the master and servant appeared.
The roosters in the mountain flapped their wings and flew up.
Fu Shaoping hurriedly said:
"Wanxiang, fly higher, higher!"
Although roosters can fly, they are not as good as Wanxiang and cannot fly that high. They saw a dense layer of roosters following them below. After passing the Rooster Mountain for several hundred meters, these flying roosters gave up and left.
Fu Shaoping was relieved.
But he saw the jade talisman in his hand tremble slightly:
"Is the distance closer?"
Fu Shaoping was overjoyed.
He rushed all the way.
He didn't want to return empty-handed:
"Wanxiang, land."
The jade talisman pointed to the ground.
After falling from the air.
There were waves of water flowing.
A vast expanse of yellow appeared in front of Fu Shaoping's eyes, and the sound of water rolling in, like a tidal wave:
"What's going on?"
Fu Shaoping hurriedly sat on Wanxiang's back again, letting the other party fly up, and at the same time covered the two of them with an invisibility cloak, and their figures disappeared in an instant.
At this time.
The sound of rushing water became clearer.
But he saw a Yellow River rolling up from the ground, the river water was turbid, and there was fog on it.
Fu Shaoping rolled his throat:
"Is this not the Yellow Spring?"
The rolling Yellow Spring instantly rolled out from the ground.
At this time.
The void changed.
However, a pier appeared above Huangquan. An old woman on the pier was folding a paper boat. As the paper boat was put into the Huangquan River, it immediately transformed into a small boat. The two white lanterns hanging high on the pier shone with brilliant green light.
Under the reflection of the green light.
A ghost in official uniform appeared. The ghost was holding a long soul-locking rope in his hand. The back of the rope tied the ghosts of men and women, young and old, one by one. They walked to the pier in a daze and stepped into the boat.
The boat went down the river.
After sending off a wave of ghosts.
The ghost bowed to the old woman on the pier, and disappeared in a flash.
Fu Shaoping held his breath and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ghost left. Fortunately, he didn't notice it.
But.
He looked down.
He saw that the direction pointed by the jade talisman was exactly the downstream of Huangquan:
"Do I have to cross the river too?"
But he was not a ghost, how could he get on the boat.
At this time.
The old woman who was folding a paper boat on the dock suddenly looked up and looked at where Fu Shaoping was. Her voice was like coming from the underworld, eerie and chilling:
"My friend has been hiding in the dark for a long time, but if you don't get on the boat to cross the river, the Yellow Spring River will be closed."
The other party actually found out his hiding place early in the morning!
Fu Shaoping felt a chill in his heart.
This trip to the underworld really opened his eyes.
Since he has been discovered, there is no need to hide. Fu Shaoping put away his invisible cloak and bowed to the old woman:
"Senior, what do I have to pay to cross the river?"
There is no free lunch in the world.
Fu Shaoping didn't believe that the old woman in front of him would be so kind as to send him across the river safely.
The old woman grinned.
But she saw that thousands of ghosts were struggling in her mouth.
Fu Shaoping got goose bumps.
The old woman looked at Fu Shaoping meaningfully:
"If a living person wants to cross the river, he only needs one ghost money. If he wants to return, he needs three ghost money."
Ghost money?
Is it paper money?
Fu Shaoping patted his storage bag, and a pile of yellow paper appeared in his hand.
The old woman saw this, and her smiling eyes immediately turned cold:
"My friend, are you kidding me again!"
At this time.
But there were several dings.
Six ancient coins fell from the copper plate in front of the old woman, and there were rune marks on the front and back of the coins.
