Chapter 229 Underworld
After the Xuanming Venerable jumped into the transmission array, the 28 underworld monks also stood in one after another, and Luo Zhen and the three finally entered the transmission array. Su Muzhen was standing outside the transmission array at this moment. She took out several runes and gave them to Luo Zhen. She said, "They are all monks of the underworld. They can adapt to the environment of the underworld, and you should be the first time to enter the underworld, so each of the three of you can slightly alleviate the discomfort after entering the underworld. "
Luo Zhen took the rune paper and divided Lei Fengmo and Lin Tianyu one by one. After a look, he felt that there was nothing special, just put it in his arms.
"Okay, I'm starting the transmission array now!" At this time, Su Muzhen also stood in the transmission array. The black underworld in her hand gushed out continuously and pressed on each position of the transmission array. After being injected with the underworld force, those originally dead runes suddenly released a faint halo. This layer of halo slowly rose, forming an eggshell. The shape covers the whole transmission array.
In fact, the underworld is not very strange to Luo Zhen. I remember that when he was in the world of chaos, when he accepted the inheritance of the ancient gods, some fragments about the underworld appeared in his mind:
Red peaks, small villages, loud roars, a group of strange-looking people, and some strange beasts. Moreover, he did not witness a massacre with his own eyes.
In a small village, the crying and screams of excitement were mixed together and echoed under the peak. In Luo Zhen's impression, there is no dusk in the underworld. The red sun and the unparalleled strong underworld that always hang in the sky are the eternal background of the underworld.
However, his understanding of the underworld only stops at the memory fragments of the ancient gods. This is the first time he has personally arrived in the underworld.
Luo Zhen seemed to feel that there were countless lights passing around him. I don't know how long it took. More than 30 people in their group appeared on a low red stone mountain. The blood-like red sun was still in the memory fragments of the ancient god. It seemed that they had never moved for thousands of years.
As soon as he landed, Luo Zhen felt that a gentle breath was slowly flowing out of the rune paper that had been difficult for Su Muzhen in his arms, wrapping his whole body, leaving him without any discomfort, as if he were in the world of cultivation. Luo Zhen was sighing the magic of the rune paper. At this time, The Venerable Xuanming said, "This is a small hill more than 700 miles away from the Hall of the Underworld. We are going to the Hall of the Underworld now, but we can't go with us. There are too many people, which will attract the attention of the Hall of the Underworld." After saying that, twenty-eight underworld monks were divided into seven teams, and Luo Zhen and Su Muzhen formed another team to walk with the Venerable.
Luo Zhen said, "How do we enter the underworld hall?" You can't walk in like this.!
The Venerable Xuanming said, "Of course there is a secret way. I'll ask you for help later."
Although Luo Zhen didn't understand what to do to help, his goal was to raid the underworld hall with the Mysterious, so he didn't want to ask too much. He said, "But wherever you need me, please tell me."
Twenty-eight monks from the underworld, divided into seven teams, four people in each team, went in batches in the direction of the underworld.
Luo Zhen's team only set out in the end.
Because there is no aura in the underworld, Lin Tianyu and Lei Fengmo try their best to preserve the spiritual power stored in the body and dare not use it indiscriminately. Luo Zhen sacrificed the Xuanshui dragon and snake in Shifu, and the three of them drove the dragon. And Su Muzhen and the Venerable Xuan Ming just ran the underworld power and led the way in front of them.
Several people flew hundreds of miles away, but they did not meet a monk in the underworld on the way. The Venerable Xuanming said, "It seems that the underworld is determined to take down the whole world of cultivation in one fell swoop. Almost all the monks in the underworld have been pulled out."
"This is a good thing for us." Luo Zhendao.
At this moment, their position is less than a hundred miles away from the underworld hall. Su Muzhen motioned Luo Zhen to put away the Xuanshui dragon snake, and all of them fell from the air, stepped on the red land, and walked in the direction of the underworld hall.
Before long, a circular mountain range appeared in front of them, which was not high. Su Muzhen pointed to the circular mountain range and said, "This mountain range is called the Panlong Mountains, and the Underworld Hall is located in the Panlong Mountains."
"Are we going to cross the mountain?" Lin Tianyu said.
Su Muzhen shook her head and said, "No. Above this Panlong Mountains, there are five steps and one post, ten steps and one whistle, and there are countless dark whistles. At one end, there are unidentified people entering the Panlong Mountains, and the underworld hall will get the news.
"Then how can we get there? We can't fly there!" Lin Tianyu was puzzled.
Su Muzhen said, "Of course we can't fly over. We have to get through it."
Luo Zhen said, "Is the secret passage in this Panlong Mountains?"
The Venerable said, "Yes, but the entrance is not here. Moreover, this is actually not a secret passage. Basically, some people in the underworld hall know that there is such a secret passage directly through the Panlong Mountains, which can go directly to the underworld. The words of the mysterious master made Luo Zhen suddenly confused. After a pause, Venerable Xuanming continued, "Because of that secret road, it is blocked!"
Lin Tianyu was puzzled and said, "Since it's blocked, we can't get through it!" By the way, the Lord must want to get it through.
Venerable Xuanming nodded and said, "That's exactly what the plan is. However, it requires Luo Daoyou to contribute more.
Luo Zhen looked blank and said, "Me?"
The Venerable Xuanming said, "Yes, that secret road was originally an escape passage left at the time of the construction of the underworld hall, but later in a war, the people of our underworld hall were forced to retreat into the passage. Although they escaped the doom of the destruction of the whole army, the opponent was in the dark road when he left. , left several seals and sealed the secret road to death.
Luo Zhen asked, "Didn't you think about getting it through later?"
"Of course I thought about it, but I didn't succeed, and I took the lives of many monks in the underworld for nothing." Su Muzhen followed the words of the mysterious master.
Luo Zhen thought for a moment and said, "So many monks in the underworld can't get through. How can the Lord be sure? Can I help?"
Xuan Ming Zunzhe laughed and said, "Do you know who left the seal and sealed the secret way?"
Luo Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
"It's the ancient gods!" The mysterious Venerable said in a low voice.
Luo Zhen was shocked. He didn't expect that the ancient gods had invaded the underworld before. However, when he heard the words of the Venerable Xuanming, Luo Zhen immediately understood why he saw the situation about the underworld in the memory fragments of the ancient god. Presumably, the ancient god also came to the underworld at the beginning and was likely to participate in the attack on the underworld.
Seeing that Luo Zhen didn't say anything, the Xuan Ming Venerable said, "As far as I know, Luo Daoyou has a kind of energy in his body, which may help us get through that secret road!"
Luo Zhen knew that when he first met the Venerable Xuanming in the Tianyuan region, he had called the divine power, so the Venerable Xuanming knew that he had divine power. No wonder at that time, the Venerable Xuanming wanted to pull him into the plan to raid the underworld at the first time. It seemed that he had made up his mind at that time and let Luo Zhen Use his magic power to help him get through the secret path. In this way, if you enter the Hall of the Underworld unexpectedly, the probability of a successful raid is undoubtedly much higher.
At this time, seven black lights shot from all directions. Su Muzhen stretched out her hand and held the seven black lights in her hand. The seven black lights penetrated from her palm very smoothly. When she was young, Su Muzhen turned to Xuan Ming and said, "The seven teams have arrived at the designated place."
The Master Xuanming nodded and said, "Okay, let's hurry there!" After saying that, the figure moved and went in the opposite direction of the Panlong Mountains.
Su Muzhen turned around and said to Luo Zhen, "Let's go!"
After flying about ten miles, you can faintly see a small village. In the east of the village, there is also a not spacious stone street. On both sides of the stone street, there are several small shops.
There are no pedestrians on the street, which looks very deserted. Most of the shops on both sides are closed and not open.
The Venerable Xuanming walked on the stone street. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a shop called "Youyun Inn". He paused for a moment and walked in. Luo Zhen and others followed Xuan Ming's Venerable and also entered the inn.
In the inn, there were no guests or shopkeepers. All the tables and chairs were set up, and there was a thick layer of dust on them.
At this time, an old man with gray hair came out and saw the mysterious ghost. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. He didn't look like an old man who was over the year. He saluted and said, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
Venerable Xuan Ming nodded and said, "Is there any special action in the underworld hall recently?"
The white-haired old man said: Recently, I just heard that most of the troops in the underworld hall have been deployed to the world of cultivation. However, there are at least 20 elder-level underworld monks stationed in the underworld in case of accidents.
The mysterious lord said, "Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals are not afraid. What about the left and right guardians of the underworld hall?"
The white-haired old man replied, "Chen Hufa hung the general and went to the monk's world to supervise the war, and Yu Hufa was still in the underworld hall." After a pause, the white-haired old man seemed to remember something, and then said, "by the way, it is said that the cultivation of the cliff has reached a bottleneck recently, and it was closed two days ago."
Xuan Ming Zunzhe laughed and said, "Is he closed at this time? God help me, haha."
The white-haired old man said, "This is just gossip. I'm not sure whether the cliff is closed or not!"
"Well, there's no need to say that now. Whether he is closed or not, our plan remains unchanged." After saying that, the Venerable Xuan Ming walked towards the backyard of the inn. The white-haired old man followed closely, and Luo Zhen and others also followed.
After entering the backyard of the inn, there was a row of low rooms. The Venerable Xuan Ming pushed open the door of one of the houses, and a wooden ladder appeared in front of Luo Zhen and others. This wooden ladder does not go up, but leads to the ground. It seems that there is a basement under this room.
The white-haired old man took the lead and walked to the wooden building. The Venerable Xuanming gave way sideways, and also slowly stepped on the wooden building and walked down.
The wooden ladder only had dozens of steps, and everyone soon reached the end. At the bottom of the wooden ladder, there was a very cramped aisle, and there was no movement in the hands of the white-haired old man. At the top of the cramped aisle, several green torches were lit.
The Venerable Xuanming turned his head and said to the white-haired old man, "Just stay here."
The white-haired old man said, "The old man's life was saved by the Lord. Please allow me to go together!" Even if I can't kill Ming Wuya with my own hands, it's a great pleasure for me to see him killed with my own eyes.
Xuan Ming thought for a little, but nodded and said, "All right."
"Thank you, Lord!"
Under the leadership of the white-haired old man, after passing through the cramped aisle, a huge black stone door appeared in front of them.
The white-haired old man motioned everyone to step back a few steps. He rolled up his sleeves, and a strong underworld force gushed out of his body. At this time, he condensed the middle finger of his right hand and guided the underworld force out. He quickly drew a few strokes on the palm of his left hand, and then his figure shook, and the whole figure was towards the black stone giant. The door rushed over, waved it with his left hand, and printed the stone door.
There was a low sound from the "boom", and then I saw that there was a strange pattern in the palm of the white-haired old man's left hand, which was printed on the black stone door. The pattern, as if it had been carved, was deeply concave.
In the deep groove of the pattern, there are channels of black ** slowly soaked out, and then overflowing around the stone door.
When I was young, in addition to the traces of flowing black **, the rest of the black stone door began to change from black to gray, and then gradually turned white. At this time, the stone door suddenly trembled gently, and then it was divided into several irregular stones by those black ** and began to shrink back to the upper and lower sides.
The Xuanming Venerable pointed to a relatively wide and much higher passage behind the stone gate and said, "This is the dark road leading to the underworld."
On the two walls of this dark road, there are countless pearls, so that the whole dark road is not dark at all, and can even be said to be in full swing.
Luo Zhen and others walked not far into the passage, and a fork appeared. Lin Tianyu said curiously, "Why is there a secret way to split?"
Su Muzhen said, "In this dark path, there are a total of twelve lanes, and each one will eventually converge, which means that it is not far from the Underworld Hall, which can be said to be separated by a wall. On the other hand, after escaping into this dark road after the underworld hall, there are twelve ways for the monks of the underworld hall to choose to separate ways and escape. This is also the reason why the monks of the underworld can escape under the pursuit of the ancient gods at the beginning.
Lin Tianyu nodded and suddenly said, "Those monks of the Underworld will not stay at the exit, will they?"
Su Muzhen smiled and said, "Of course not. As mentioned before, this secret has been sealed, and it can't get out from the underworld hall, and it can't get in from the outside. In the first few years, the underworld hall will send some monks to guard at the entrance of the dark road, which is our current exit. But several years have passed, not to mention a person, even an ant has not climbed in, so the Underworld Hall did not send anyone to continue to guard it later.
Lin Tianyu said, "Aren't we walking well in this dark road now? Where is it blocked?"
Su Muzhen took a look at him and said lightly, "You will know when you go forward for a while." Obviously, she was also a little impatient by Lin Tianzong.
While Luo Zhen's five people entered the underpass, on the seven hills dozens of miles away from the Panlong Mountains, the seven teams of underworld monks also quietly entered the underworld from a hidden cave.
Luo Zhen and others walked for about half an hour. In the process of walking for half an hour, Luo Zhen said to himself: He had just passed the eighth way, and then four more ways, he should have reached the inside of the underworld.
Thinking of this, Luo Zhen suddenly turned his head and asked, "Which position does this dark road lead to the Underworld Hall?"
Su Muzhen said, "Before it was sealed, it was the bedroom to the Pluto, but after it was sealed, the Pluto's bedroom was changed to another place. Now it is an idle house, which has no practical effect, and no one usually goes there."
Luo Zhen nodded a little, and he was also worried that in case he used his divine power to break the seal and open the secret road, he made too much noise, I'm afraid it would attract everyone in the underworld hall.
A moment later, Luo Zhen and his party passed through three separate paths. At this time, the mysterious ghost suddenly stopped and said, "Let's wait for them here!"
Su Muzhen nodded and said, "If there is no accident, they should have arrived after half a column of incense."
Luo Zhen had nothing to do at this time. He knew that he would use the power of the ancient gods, so he refined the magic power in his body into a few strands in advance. He knew in his heart that after entering the underworld hall, he would definitely be shocked step by step. Maybe a trace of magic power could save his life. He made up his mind that when he opened the dark road, he would instill in the power of the ancient gods, so that he could not waste any energy.
Time passed unconsciously, and several people were waiting quietly. The atmosphere was almost strangely quiet, and the air seemed to condense. There was a rare trace of tension on the face of the mysterious master.
At this time, from behind them, there were slight footsteps, and the Xuanming Venerable's face was slightly relaxed.
After a while, the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Luo Zhen could already be heard. There were a total of twelve people coming.
Su Muzhen seemed to say to herself, "Is there only three teams?"
