Chapter 612 Exploring the Netherworld

He Ping frowned slightly, staring intently at the huge pit, which was filled with endless black smoke. However, there is no need to make in-depth judgments at the moment, and you can also know that this place has become a "ghost".

"Ghosts" are a strange phenomenon caused by the overlap between the Youluo Dao and the real world. Because this Dao is the closest space and time to the real world, it is not surprising that such strange situations have occurred since ancient times.

The pit was like a huge mouth of an abyss, tearing apart the earth. The landscape of Wan'an Village had long since disappeared, leaving only a dark bottomless pit. The deep pit is also like a ghost cave, and the strange rolling black smoke is turned into a fierce ghost ghost. It is so fierce that even the surrounding mountains and forests are gradually assimilating with Youluo Dao.

"This is the overlapping phase of the two realms, but logically speaking, it cannot last forever. This is a change caused by the great tribulation and the movement of heaven, which makes the ghost realm time and space of Youluo Dao temporarily temporary. 's connection to the world..."

There are some popular stories among the people, saying that a certain scholar took the risk of taking a shortcut in the mountains in order to go to the capital to take the exam. While driving at night, he encountered another mass grave. Barren graves and dead bones were everywhere, and there were ghosts, fires, and phosphorus. He got lost in it. He couldn't get out of this mass grave even after walking around. This is what is called " The ghost beats the wall".

The scholar walked back and forth, feeling tired and thirsty, so he sat down to rest for a while, and fell asleep all of a sudden. When he woke up the next day, he found that he was lying on a flat ground, with the sun hanging high in the sky, except for the bottom of his buttocks. Next to a tombstone, it is extremely empty in all directions. How can there be any mass graves?

Folks believe that this is because the scholar was teased by the foxes and ghosts in the mountains. In fact, the Youluo Dao was attracted by the evil spirit in the spiritual veins of the earth in the real world, and briefly overlapped with the real world.

Perhaps the scholar mistakenly bumped into the overlapping point. The place he thought was a mass grave was actually the time and space of the Youluo Dao. After dawn, the daylight is getting longer, the energy is waxing and waning, the yin energy is receding, the connection between the Youluo Dao and the real world is broken, and the scholar naturally returns to the human world.

Among the puppet arts that He Ping practiced, there was a secret method that could make a paper sedan chair and use the Youluo Dao to travel through space. This method could shrink the ground to an inch. For him with low magic power at the time, it was convenient for him to use it on the road.

"There seems to be something fishy!?"

He Ping observed carefully, and after repeated observations, he discovered something else. The deep pit emitting black smoke was covered with countless white bone spikes, and there were countless broken bones squirming in the vertical pit. He felt anxious in his heart. He was startled.

"So that's it. This is the overlapping of Corpse Bone Path, Youluo Path and the Real World. I don't know what the secret realm underneath is like?"

He Ping used his "Heavenly Heart of Truth" to peer into the past again and found that there was nothing strange about Wan'an Village three months ago. Three months later, there was a loud buzzing sound and the earth sank. After that, Wan'an Village completely disappeared. The area belonging to Wan'an Village has become this deep pit.

"Three months ago?"

he said to himself.

I don’t know what happened three months ago that caused the situation to get to this point. Even if I continue to investigate with the "Truth Heavenly Heart", I can't find many clues. It seems that the disappearance of Wan'an Village is just an "accident".

"There is a secret realm of Narcissus Cave Palace down here. It can't disappear like this." He Ping thought about it. He felt that it was not an accident or coincidence, but that something went wrong in the secret realm of Narcissus Cave Palace.

This is why he never made use of this secret realm at the beginning. The mysterious senior who built this cave claimed to be reincarnated and would return a thousand years later. At that time, he was wary and kept this matter in his heart.

Since then, He Ping has not returned to the Narcissus Cave Mansion. The "senior" of the Dongyin lineage who built this place was far more powerful than he imagined, and he was not sure of escaping under the other party's secret arrangement.

But now, He Ping's magic power cultivation has reached the level of manifesting the spirit. He has also cultivated "Dharma has a true spirit", and his own cultivation and Taoism have entered the level of Dzogchen. The magic power around him is surging, and it has the power to penetrate the heaven and the earth. ability.

If he didn't have this confidence, he would not dare to return to Wan'an Village to find out.

"This is the place where the three realms meet. The real world, the corpse path, and the Youluo path merge and overlap with each other. I can't tell what's going on inside with my magic power..."

He Ping used the "Secret Technique of Heavenly Peeping" to amplify the five senses of his mind, suspend his true thoughts in the void, and illuminate all phenomena in the world, revealing every detail and reflecting nothing. This secret technique was originally a technique recorded in the "Invisible Secret", but for him who has cultivated the soul, under the operation of the magic power, he can see into the world in all directions and the vast void.

However, his secret method of voyeurism cannot penetrate this huge pit where three worlds overlap. Because the various auras in it are mixed together, it is like chaos. Even those with immortal-level cultivation cannot penetrate it. Virtual reality.

"Sure enough, it's a little weird..."

He muttered to himself.

He Ping thought that the more this happened, the more it proved that the "change" in Wan'an Village was not a coincidence, but man-made.

After knowing this, he was not eager to go deep into it to find out what was going on. Instead, he hid in the Puppet Demon City, channeled his magic power, and continued to observe from a distance.

He Ping was a patient person and never had a arrogant temper. Since he felt that there was something wrong with the huge pothole, he would not sneak into it at will. Instead, he would stay high in the sky and observe secretly for ten days or half a month. .

There were also various changes in this abyss-like pit. In his eyes, he felt that this pit was like an earthly orifice, capable of breathing on its own and devouring the vitality of heaven and earth, as if it could breed something in it.

He Ping was also surprised by this, but he remained unmoved and still watched in secret.

Time flies, and a few months later, there is another change in this huge pit and abyss.

Due to the influence of the Bone Path and the Youluo Path in this area, the surrounding land was contaminated with the aura of the other world, and even the air gradually deteriorated. The white bone trees growing from the ground also formed bone shells on the surface.

Gradually, waves of gray smoke and ghostly mist spread in the air, and the wilderness mountain roads were also filled with ghosts and shadows, coming and going, almost becoming a place of ghostly ghosts.

As this change gradually intensified, strange changes took place in the earth like a chasm in the abyss, which caused the demons and ghosts floating in the black smoke and howling winds to kill countless people. The spirits often escape and move to surrounding counties and towns, turning into ghosts and disasters;

Deep in the pit, there are often some skeleton demons and corpse demons taking shape, emerging from the earth, and turning into a force that runs rampant in the mountains and wilderness.

Let’s not talk about the disasters caused by ghosts in surrounding counties and villages. If these skeleton monsters and corpse monsters are in the Corpse Path, they can survive by relying on the local alien energy. In the real world, they have lost the nourishment of pure energy and have to rely on flesh and blood. As a result, all birds and animals within a hundred miles were devoured, and they were all eaten within a few days.

These messy evil things were running rampant everywhere, relying on the chaos of the army, and the court could not spare the manpower, and gradually spread, even the nearby prefectures and counties occupied by the rebels were affected.

The closest camp to Wan'an Village was the "Seven Dragon King" Guo Ding's camp, but a group of skeleton monsters smelled their blood. One night, they were treated as blood food by these monsters and all were eaten in a pot.

"Seven Appearance Dragon King" Guo Ding immediately became angry and sent out many of his masters to attack, and then wiped out the group of skeleton monsters. Later, he followed the clues and found out what was going on in Wan'an Village.

At first, all of Guo Ding's men were also frightened, thinking that there was another crack in the Abyss Realm. However, after careful observation, they found that this was not the case. It was the Youluo Dao, the Bone Dao and the Real World that overlapped, causing strange sight.

Guo Ding also came to observe for a period of time in person. Anyone else might have thought this was a crisis. It should be noted that the "zombie tide" disaster created by the Shibi Sect destroyed the mortal dynasty and caused headaches to the major forces of Buddhism and Taoism.

If this strange abyss is not eliminated, it will most likely turn into a terrible disaster and bring disaster to the world. After all, in addition to the plague of corpses in the Corpse Road, Youluo Road also released many ghosts from time to time. Faced with this situation, Guo Ding thought it was "a strange thing to live in."

The leader of the San Qiang Army was extremely ambitious. He secretly thought about whether he could take advantage of the changes in this place to add strength to his ambition to conquer the world.

Moreover, as a Taoist master, Guo Ding is also keenly aware that this should indicate that there is something weird about this unknown village, because generally this situation of overlapping two realms cannot last for too long. This deep pit like a huge mouth of an abyss Being able to maintain it for so long proves that there is something hidden in this deep pit...

After careful consideration, Guo Ding also took action. He decided to send many of his experts to explore the internal conditions of the huge pit where the "nameless village" was located, and then make a judgment based on the specific conditions.

You must know that this Guo Ding is known as the "Seven Appearing Dragon King" and occupies the extremely fertile land of the three states of the Western Wilderness Road. In the past, he made friends with left-behind people and green forest thieves. After he raised his army, he recruited many masters and also had a group of elite soldiers. Strong general.

He also loved to adopt "adopted sons" and adopted more than 20 adopted sons in total, the most famous of which was his adopted son Guo Jing'an.

This man practiced the "Liuhe Spear" of the military lineage. With the threaded steel gun in his hand, he defeated countless leading generals sent by the imperial court.

Guo Jingan is also the number two figure under Guo Ding. His talent is not weak, and he is also qualified to attack the Tao and become a strong Taoist. In addition to this, the other twenty or so names accepted by Guo Ding are not weak either. They have basically practiced various Taoist secrets.

It is also worth mentioning that Guo Ding also has two powerful allies. One is Hedong, the Green Forest Giant Thief Sect, who is a dragon worshiper in Dayou. The Taoist practice is "Canglong Tao Seal". With the help of the Great Change of Heaven and Earth, , first entered the Tao realm and became a Taoist.

Zong Hedong also had a rebel force in his hands, occupying a state, and started a tug of war with the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court.

The Minghe Prefecture where he is located and Guo Ding's territory are at odds with each other, and he bears part of the pressure from the imperial army. He is an ally that Guo Ding trusts very much;

The second is Ouyang Xing, the master of the Gongtian Castle of the casual cultivator sect in the Western Wilderness. This man was originally a casual cultivator, but he was taught Taoism by masters of the Mud Sect. After the Spring and Autumn Catastrophe, he swallowed the big medicine and used it. "Sheng Lian Bao Scroll" to enter the Tao.

Recently, Ouyang Xing also obtained the residual scriptures of the Shibi Sect and practiced the evil method of corpse magic, which can drive evil spirits, zombies and other evil and foreign objects. He is ruthless and cunning, and he has the same resemblance to Guo Ding. He has been working as a villain for many years, and he does all kinds of evil. Unfortunately, no one can stop him.

Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing are both die-hard allies of Guo Ding, which means that in addition to himself, the force in Guo Ding's hands has already been joined by three initiates. Of course, among these three people, only Guo Ding has been in Taoism for more than a year. Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing are both newbies and are not at the top of their level.

However, because the order of heaven and earth has changed, the obstacles after entering the Tao will not be as difficult as before. For monks to enter the Tao level, it will not be as difficult as the Spring and Autumn Tribulation.

Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing are progressing very quickly, and their strength is not too weak, but they are still far away from the Tao Ti level.

On this day, under the guidance of Guo Ding, Guo Jingan, Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing led a group of people and rushed to the location of Wan'an Village.

"The three auras of Corpse Bone Path, Youluo Path and Real World are blended into one. This place is really scary..."

There is a bronze mirror in front of the big thief Zong Hedong, and the scene of the abyss of Wan'an Village is reflected in the bronze mirror.

Gray-white bone flowers grow on the ground, as well as towering pure white trees, all made of bones. There is a very light black smoke surrounding it. There are people's faces flowing in the fog, looking like humans and ghosts, neither human nor animals, in all directions. From time to time there are ghost cries, screams and shrill laughter floating in the air.

It can be seen that the scene in the bronze mirror does not look like the world where living people live, but rather like the underworld.

"This place is no longer a place for strangers to go. Jing'an, just ask the troops sent by your adoptive father to guard the perimeter. If you want to explore the bottom of this pit, you only need Ouyang Laoxian and me."

Zong Hedong observed for a while and let out a faint breath.

"Brother Zong is right."

Ouyang Xing also nodded. The Lord of Gongtian Castle is an old man dressed in white, with white hair, white beard, and white eyebrows. He looks kind-hearted and has a fairy-like spirit. In fact, he has an eccentric personality and acts extremely ruthlessly. He is willing to kill people at every turn. He is also a man on the Xihuang Road. Awesome character.

"No mortal can bear the ferocious miasma and poison in Youluo Dao and Corpse Bone Dao. The elite soldiers your adoptive father managed to save are not suitable for participating in this operation. Your cultivation level is quite good and you can go with us." , the others can just wait outside."

"Since the two seniors have said so, I, Guo Jing'an, will just do it..."

Guo Jing'an was tall and burly, wearing an armor and holding a spear. He was full of heroic spirit. He crossed his fists and said, "My adoptive father also knows that it is not easy to explore this place. He specially ordered me to take out two bottles of the Great Pill of Evolution from the inner treasury, and specially Honor the two seniors, and ask the two seniors to give more support to the juniors."

"The Great Pill of Evolution, your adoptive father suffered a lot of blood, but I don't know if the stuff below is worth these two bottles of Great Pill of Evolution."

He respectfully handed over two small porcelain bottles.

Ouyang Xing touched his white beard.

"It doesn't matter, it's hard to resist the victory of the Qixian Dragon King, so I will accept it as an old man."
