Chapter 55
The boat sailed for about half a day, and it became darker and quieter everywhere, showing an extraordinarily quiet place.
However, vaguely, the gurgling sound of water could be heard from far away, and there seemed to be the sound of oars stirring the river water.
Xie Qiuhan went into the cabin to rest for a while, but finally couldn't stay still, and came out to get some air.
It is more uncomfortable to be breathable than not to be breathable.
The more the boat went up, the more Xie Qiuhan felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and his heart tightened more and more.
It seemed that there was a hostile energy hidden in the meridians, which was blocked and could not be released. It turned into a bloody smell and lingered in his throat, making him very uncomfortable.
He walked with his head buried for a while, and heard small voices. When he looked up, it was the young man and the girl.
This time it was very strange, the two of them didn't seem to be familiar with each other, the girl looked shy with her head down, her eyelashes fluttering, and the young man was courting her. .
Xie Qiuhan listened for a while, and the more he listened, the more strange he felt.
"One day has passed," said a voice behind his ear, "their souls can only go around in one day."
Xie Qiuhan was slightly taken aback, and looked at those two people a few more times, feeling that they were a bit pitiful, they had just made up their relationship yesterday, and today they have to do it all over again.
But looking at how they got together again, it seems to be good.
"Is the world coming soon?" Xie Qiuhan asked.
"Soon," Yun Fang forgot to glance into the distance, "the top is the bottom of the Wangchuan River, just cross it and you will be there, it will only take a while."
"Then after they go up, will they also forget about this place?"
Yun Fang nodded, "They have to wash their memories."
Xie Qiuhan also knew this, he couldn't let so many people remember that he went to hell.But he couldn't bear to look at the expressions of the two over there.
Yun Fang patted him on the head: "Just watch, they won't lose them anywhere."
Hearing what he said, Xie Qiuhan felt envious again.
He looked at the two people over there, and looked at the almost invisible Houtu Ding underneath, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "If there is no Jiu Ding, what would the world be like now?"
Yun Fang was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face, Xie Qiuhan's casual words actually hit the thoughts in his heart that he had never revealed to anyone.
It's a pity that Xie Qiuhan leaned on the boat and looked outside, so he didn't see his expression at the moment.
"I don't know much, but I always feel that mortals have unique spirituality. In the wilderness, mortals could only drink blood, and they couldn't understand each other's language. It was a mess, but only ten thousand years later, we stopped eating raw meat and opened up farmland. , With pens, inks, papers and inkstones, utensils will be used instead of manpower, giving birth to joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and empathy, which is a spirituality that other living beings do not have. If there is no Jiuding, relying on mortals alone, the world will be better, or will it be better? bad?"
As he was talking, he found that Yunfang hadn't replied for a long time, so he turned to look at him.
Turning his head, he found that Yun Fang was looking at him with an indescribable expression.
At the same time, the ship suddenly shook for a while.
Xie Qiuhan seemed to be particularly weak today, he couldn't stand still for a while, Yun Fang grabbed him, and at the same time Hong Lan poked his head out from the cabin and took a look at him.
Yun Fang threw a talisman out with a very casual attitude, and the shaking of the ship subsided immediately, before Honglan went in.
Xie Qiuhan held his arm tightly, remembering that he had just swayed in the space below, and said cautiously: "I can't say this openly? Jiuding will be angry when he hears it?"
Yun Fang's heart was shaken by his words at first, but he couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard his words 'Jiu Ding is going to be angry'.
How did this kid grow up.
Sometimes it's too mature and stable, and it hurts so much that you can grit your teeth and hold on, and sometimes it's cute as hell.
He laughed for a while, and then said in a tone of emotion: "You are right, mortals are very good, there is no need for gods to make decisions for them... Also, we are entering the River of Forgetfulness, not that Jiuding is angry. "
I started laughing before I finished talking, it was really funny.
Xie Qiuhan was annoyed by his laughter, so he forgot to discuss such things as mortal spirituality and whether there is a Jiuding.
He turned his head away, hiding a bit of embarrassment, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
The boat went into the Wangchuan River, but it was still running steadily. The charm thrown by Yunfang turned into a firm bubble, wrapping the boat, preventing the water from Wangchuan from seeping in.
It was dark all around, with occasional glimmers of light. When I looked closely, I could see the shape of a skeleton, which made people feel hairy.
The Nether Guards branched out every time they went to a floor of hell, and now there are about [-] to [-] left on the first floor of Wangchuan. They walked steadily in the water, and their military appearance was very dignified.
Xie Qiuhan looked at these guards and pondered in his heart.
He had only met General Bao Cheng once, and he had no special impression. He only remembered that this man showed extraordinary persistence on the question of "whether he is afraid of him", which made people laugh and cry.
General Bao is a well-known butcher in Qing history. It is said in the book that he is extremely vicious and loves to eat human flesh. He was highly valued by Emperor Mingtai, but when he was under Emperor Taiwu, Taiwu emphasized benevolence and cut him off. , and then he disappeared.
Has there ever been a record in the book that an entire army disappeared?
... Who can change the history books?
Just as Xie Qiuhan thought of this, his eyes froze, and a light suddenly leaked into his eyes.
It was a will-o'-the-wisp wrapped in a helmet, with a faint green light flickering, and it ignited the surrounding fires in response.
His heart froze.
At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly passed by his ears, engulfing thousands of people's voices, all crying, complaining, accusing, cursing and screaming.
The world before his eyes suddenly changed, and he saw tens of thousands of faces in different shapes, all of which were near-death despair.
He only felt the blood surge in his chest, and he took a step back suddenly, what's wrong?
But it was his step back that made those people look at him, as if they saw a life-saving straw, and stretched out their hands to grab him at the same time!
"what--!"
Numerous sharp claws and bloody mouths rushed towards him covering his head and face, Xie Qiuhan was wrapped into a cocoon in fear, unable to move.
He was flustered at first, puzzled, and wondered what happened.
But a face rushed towards him, as if an arrow had been shot through his heart, a negative emotion penetrated his whole body.
Countless human faces are endless resentment and hatred.
Xie Qiuhan didn't follow the hatred, but stared wide-eyed, looking at the faces of those who wouldn't let him move, he felt a sense of ferocity out of thin air—he thought to himself: How dare you!
Blood welled up in his eyes.
He opened his hand, and a killing intent turned into a sharp sword, held in his hand.
At this time, suddenly there was a very light and distant voice calling his name.
Xie Qiuhan was slightly taken aback.
Then someone grabbed him and shook him desperately, and the eager voice rang in his ears again and again:
"Xie Qiuhan!"
"Wake up!"
There was another voice, also full of shock and anger: "Yunfang, are you dying!"
Seeing that the redness in Xie Qiuhan's eyes had faded and the magic pattern became lighter, Yun Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the chaos around him did not allow him to relax.
Halfway through the breath, it stuck in his throat and turned into a cavity of anger.
The ship was pitched violently, the curse of the suppressing spell broke several gaps, and the Wangchuan water poured in. The refugees on the boat were in a state of panic. They wanted to use something to block the gap, but they were grabbed by the ghosts in the Wangchuan and dragged into the water.
In mid-air not far away, Honglan was blocking several monks for him, causing Wangchuan to be in chaos, almost turning into a maelstrom, with countless skeletons and armor rolled up.
Honglan glimpsed the situation below from the corner of her eye, and felt relieved.
But when he was distracted, a few gaudy magic weapons came at him, he raised his hand to block it, and with a shake of his sleeve, the magic weapons were all bounced back, Hong Lan said coldly: "Enough, don't pretend Already!"
Those people's offensive stagnated, and they looked at each other for a few times before giving up.
These few monks changed their appearance, but Honglan recognized that they were all his old acquaintances. They had been his teachers and taught him skills. , seems to be releasing water.
The most ironic part of these old men is here.
Do what you want, but you have to wear a mask of hypocrisy.
Even a villain can't do it cleanly.
One person walked to the front, took off his disguise, and said, "Honglan, we are going to let you go, can't you see it?"
"Oh?" Suddenly, a light voice came from above their heads, and they saw Yun Fang stepping forward with an indifferent expression, "Masters and uncles are so benevolent, it is clear that Fox King and Zhou Shen ordered you to stop, but you have to carry them behind your back." Let us go?"
When those people saw Shen Xiao, they were not moved, they just nodded, answered "yes", spread out to both sides, as if to let them go.
Yun Fang pretended to be polite and said: "Thank you very much, please help me, masters and uncles. I am worried that there are too many refugees here, and it will be difficult for me to bring them back."
"Don't push yourself too far," said an old man with a white beard, "We can't help so much, you go on your own."
Yun Fang shook his head, "That can't be done—" A flash of sword light suddenly popped out of his hand, and he stabbed those old men mercilessly. Spit out a mouthful of blood.
The man was furious immediately, and he was about to rush up after sacrificing the magic weapon.
Yun Fang raised his sword and was about to fight, but at this moment, a flying whisk separated the two of them.
It was another old man who came out, stopped them, and said: "Yun Fang has always loved playing this kind of hero since he was a child, so don't argue with him."
As he spoke, he whispered a few words to his "raccoon of the same feather", and the other party gave a cold snort before giving up.
Yun Fang narrowed his eyes to see their expressions, and glanced at Xie Qiuhan who was under the care of the young man from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that he was still in a coma, he also suppressed his killing intent and did not make any more moves.
At this moment, the persuasive old man stepped forward and said, "Yunfang, the fox king is going to kill you with the Houtu cauldron, and we have already sent him away. You and Honglan just take the little disciple down to the mountain and that's it. We dealt with him for you, and after finishing what we have to do, we will hide our names from now on, and we will not return to Taixuan Palace, and we will take care of Zhou Shen, you can rest assured."
"Really?" Yun Fang said intentionally, "Dare to ask what you masters and uncles are going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about it."
Yun Fang lowered his head and chuckled lightly, and said, "Master, do you think I'm a fool? Are you going to dismiss the Fox King, or dismiss us, so that you can use these refugees to sacrifice to Houtu?"
As soon as the word 'sacrifice' came out, those few people showed surprise on their faces, as if they didn't expect Yunfang to know about it.
But what Yunfang said later really made them lose their composure: "It is said that the first time is raw and the second time is acquaintance. Uncle Fang did it once before, why is it still sticky when doing this now?"
The leader, old man Fang, suddenly froze, "...what did you say?"
But he also knew that Yunfang must have figured everything out, so there was no point in pretending like this.
Yun Fang said: "Back then, the ancestors of Zixiao Mountain did it for that man, and they even filled in an entire army, thinking that they could win some face for the monks, and give the dying country a breath of relief. All the ancestors who sacrificed their lives for this reason can be regarded as worrying about the common people and dying well. My master is young and unstable. The ancestors have not told the truth to him. He is kept in the dark, and you deliberately deceive and guide He, let him remember the way of heaven—it’s not scary to be stupid, to be stupid and think you’re smart, and to become someone else’s knife is the most terrible thing, my master... Sigh."
Speaking of the latter, he sighed, he really felt that Kong Ming was stupid.He believed what others said, and was completely used by a group of elders, and he was also infamous.
Honglan raised her head abruptly, her expression cracked.
Yun Fang stared at the group of old men, gritted his teeth and said, "Our ancestors have accumulated great merit, but your kind is heinous!"
"you!"
Old man Fang was furious, and slapped him hard, "Nonsense!"
That palm was very powerful, not like it was when he was fighting with Hong Lan. When this palm was slapped, it almost brought out a huge wave, and the big palm hit Yunfang Tianling Gai viciously.
Yunfang retreated quickly, avoiding the sharp edge, at the same time Hong Lan made a sudden move and pulled out a string from the left, old man Fang blocked it with a wave of his hand, revealing the empty door, Yunfang leaped into the air, and suddenly drew his sword towards the Chop ahead!
The rest of the old men rushed to block them, bringing out all kinds of unique skills to meet them, which made people dazzled. They were all the elders of the Nine Palaces, and it was like holding a duel in the Nine Palaces in Wangchuan for a while.
Yunfang's sword was resisted by a golden whisk, and his movement was slightly delayed. Just as he was about to draw the sword, a long iron chain suddenly fell in front of him, encircling his wrist.
This is the opportunity!The eyes of the old men lit up, and immediately a sword wielder stabbed fiercely through his vest——
stabbed empty.
Yun Fang blinked at him strangely, then disappeared in place, with only one hair falling out.
At the same time, his figure appeared in front of old man Fang. He twitched the corner of his mouth at old man Fang, smiled, and lightly handed out a sword.
The sword pierced the old man's chest.
The old man lost his strength and fell downwards, and his body fell into the rolling Wangchuan water.
Hiccup on the spot.
Everyone was shocked.
Yun Fang raised his eyebrows, turned his wrist and retracted his sword, "I found that there is an advantage in Wangchuan, it's convenient, if you die, you will fall into hell directly, it's very easy."
The old men looked ugly.
The black wind was howling, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, Yunfang and Honglan, each occupying one end, firmly guarded the pass, and did not let those people get any closer to the big ship.
The old men didn't want to retreat, and they didn't want to defy the law with their own bodies, so they also became the souls of this senior brother's sword.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while.
Yun Fang glanced at the boat again, Xie Qiuhan had already woken up, he took the initiative to settle the refugees, drove them into the cabin, and then walked out by himself, looking up at them.
Before Yunfang could speak, Honglan raised her eyelashes and asked quietly: "The so-called extermination of heaven is just a trick made by the elders?"
The old man avoided answering, but said vaguely: "...Everyone will grow old. If one day, you can do this, you will understand."
But Hong Lan understood, "Take Chi You's golden body as bait, and go to the Fox King to exchange for the usage of the Houtuding, you also came up with it."
A few people were silent, after all, they were a little guilty.
Honglan lowered her head, and said to herself: "I fell into the wilderness, my junior brother died once, and after so many years of hard work, you have a new plan. You must destroy us...Zixiaoshan, Zixiaoshan Xiaoshan really didn't raise us two brothers for nothing, and actually used what we... used so cleanly..."
He bit the word "clean" very hard, Yun Fang was a little worried, and called out: "Brother."
Hong Lan raised her head to look at him in response, and Yun Fang was secretly startled when he saw that, and his eyes were ignited with raging anger.
The next moment, the black flame opened with a bang!
The flames roamed around him with an extremely frightening aura. He clenched his teeth tightly, his cheeks twitched slightly, his joints gurgled, his bones elongated and reorganized rapidly, his entire face turned blue-white, and the shocking magic seal crawled. It touched half of his face, as if the god of death had descended into the world.
Yunfang's pupils constricted, and he flew back!
The surroundings are also horrified.
——That is the golden body of Chi You, the body of a demon god!
"...I won't kill you," Hong Lan said in a low voice, "It's hard to guarantee that there won't be a third time..."
Yun Fang backed away to avoid getting burned.
At this time, Hong Lan's figure was still undergoing drastic changes. He didn't hold a weapon, but just relied on his bare hands to hit a person with one punch, completely ignoring all magical attacks.
Yun Fang landed on the boat, bit his finger, and wrote rapidly in mid-air. The blood stayed in the air without falling, and strangely formed a series of spells, and then threw it towards Hong Lan.
He wrote faster and faster, until the speed was almost invisible to the naked eye. He typed out the characters like a phantom, circling around Hong Lan's body, blending with those black cold flames, forming a strange landscape.
Hong Lan stopped changing at that moment, retaining the original appearance, but also changed into an extremely frightening appearance.
As soon as he stopped for a while, his opponent seized the gap and hit him with a magic weapon. Hong Lan didn't even evade, but raised his right hand, and his arm broke off—and then grew rapidly, becoming It became a pair of silver hooks.
Everyone showed fear.
Hong Lan made a bold move!
That was almost a one-sided carnage.
A few senior monks who had sat in high positions for thousands of years were slaughtered in front of him like melons and vegetables, with blood flying everywhere.
He was like a ferocious beast that took pleasure in killing. He didn't directly bite his throat, but cut off people's arms and legs one by one, and played the wailing sound into a movement of ups and downs!
After Yun Fang finished drawing this curse, his blood became weak and his eyes went black for a while.
At this time, Xie Qiuhan held his waist from the side and asked in a low voice, "How are you?"
Yun Fang didn't answer him, but waved his hand, Xie Qiuhan gritted his teeth and retreated wisely.
Yun Fang drew a second mantra.
The second mantra was divided into two golden circles, one end and one tail encircling the ship, and the ship suddenly shot out like a sharp arrow!
The splash of Wangchuan was thrown, the boat ignored all resistance, and galloped straight towards the human world!
Only then did Yun Fang cough a few times, and said, "Hong Lan has Chi You's golden body, I'm afraid he's going crazy, you lead the boat back to the world quickly."
Xie Qiuhan silently rubbed his chest for him, showing no movement at all.
Yun Fang: "What are you doing in a daze!"
Only then did he hear Xie Qiuhan say in a hoarse voice, in a very different tone than usual: "How much blood do you have, can you subdue demons and sacrifice to gods?"
Yun Fang was taken aback for a moment.
Xie Qiuhan took a deep look at him: "Brother knew a long time ago that Fuxi is the only one who can subdue Chiyou, so he avoids the magic door and refuses to meet you for a hundred years, but I am much easier to deceive. What will you give me?" I even believe that you let me eat your blood and suck your marrow every day, I don’t bear your kindness for nothing, how can I repay it?”
Yun Fang frowned tightly, "You..."
"If I can, I really wish I could give it back to you with my life."
"Don't talk nonsense," Yun Fang reassured him, and at the same time distractedly glanced at the fighting situation below. At this moment, the Netherworld trembled violently, the Nine Layers of Hell was full of flames, and the pool of blood was boiling. Two people were carried on the giant cauldron, spinning up. .
Xie Qiuhan looked over and knew that Houtuding was finally born.
Houtu Ding exuded infinite aura, tirelessly supporting the living beings here. At this moment, Zhou Shen and Fox King stood on the top of the tripod, their sleeves blowing in the wind, and they shot together.
Before seeing how they moved, the Wangchuan River burst into boiling bubbles, and several bodies were pushed out of the water by the current. They opened their eyes in an instant, regained their vitality, and joined them again.
It was the elder monks who were killed by Yunfang and Honglan just now.
Yun Fang was anxious in his heart, worried that Honglan would deal with them alone, so he wanted to get away, he still missed Xie Qiuhan, turned around and touched his head, and said in a very soft voice: "What do I want your life to do, don't be stupid, I There are not many people around me who treat me sincerely, and if I pick you up, there is always something to pay back, I said you are my heart, it is not a lie."
He ran out without looking back, but fell into the middle of the battle in a breath, and slashed out with a sword.
Xie Qiuhan was left standing there with a gloomy expression, muttering to himself.
The boat was going up rapidly, and he looked down at the rotating bronze tripod below in a numb manner.
The countless needle-like dots on the tripod quickly passed by his eyes, and they became rows of names and rules, which were recorded by hundreds of millions of living beings. He saw familiar and strange names from ancient times to the present, He saw the birth, old age, sickness and death of countless people, from yellow-mouthed children to senile, from babbling to teeth shaking... Finally, his gaze was fixed on the crossed-out name.
He opened and closed his lips slightly, chanting these names quickly between his lips and teeth.
If anyone was here, they would definitely be able to read it. What he read was the names of the few old monks below. In the end, the boy's eyes flashed, and he spit out the word "death"!
Then the voice fell, and an invisible force spread out, filling the entire space, and then the horizontal line on the earthen cauldron gradually faded...
The old men who were enjoying the beating at the bottom suddenly stopped, and touched their faces in unison. Before they could touch their faces, they saw the skin on their arms shriveled rapidly, but in an instant, they were even older than before, like a A layer of bark covered the skeleton.
When they saw each other, they cried out in horror!
