Netherworld Chapter 131: The Underworld (4)
In fact, I have never believed that the five people from the Tianshimai would die at the hands of the Zhou family's patriarch.
The old Taoist once said that Wei Qingcang was resurrected from the dead with the immortal fruit, and he was very well hidden. If we talk about his ability, he can be the king of the whole world. But there are only a few Zhou family elders, how could they be killed.
Moreover, because of the immortal fruit, the Zhou family was attacked by many forces. Of the three major clans that stayed behind, two died, one escaped, and the rest were wiped out. If the few people who left with the Heavenly Corpse Vein also died, then the Zhou family would have been damaged, and would have fallen from a first-rate force to a second-rate and a half force.
The appearance of Gamu proved that the only person in the Tianshi vein who was not dead at that time had lied and just wanted to lure the major forces to the Zhou family.
However, only five people from the Tianshi Clan survived this plan.
This kind of price is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford. Thinking about that stingy and irritable old man Zhong Jiutian, it is really surprising that he agreed to participate in this plan.
From this, it can be seen that the Tianshi Vein has great ambitions. Even if there are only five people, the benefits they will gain will definitely be staggering.
When the Zhou family suffered heavy losses in the suburbs, the old Taoist intercepted Tao Tiansong. The young man holding the Zhou family's demon-slaying sword was on the same side as the mysterious corpse-layer. Tao Tiansong took the Du Sheng vein to participate in the plan to deal with the Zhou family. According to this, the forces involved in the whole plan include the Du Sheng vein, the Tianshi vein, and the Lianshi vein.
The previous counterattack by the Demonic Zen Clan was very surprising, and besides this family, there were many other forces fighting among themselves.
When I saw Gamu standing in front of the main hall, I suddenly remembered the Eight-Stringed Heaven Secret Scroll.
It was mentioned in the secret scroll that there were six people who sealed the sky and repaired the earth, including the Three Tombs, Five Classics, Eight Ropes, Nine Hills, as well as the Emperor of Heaven and the Great Demon Lord.
Among them, the Emperor of Heaven is the most powerful of the time, and the Great Demon Lord is the most courageous of the time. These two people and my two thousand year old ancestor of Ba Suo participated in the enfeoffment at the same time.
The Emperor of Heaven is in the underworld, so what about the Great Demon Lord?
Thinking in this way, it is easy to understand why Mo Chanmai plays Infernal Affairs.
If the Great Demon Lord is found, not only will the Demon Zen Vein have top combat power to compete with the Emperor Vein, but the lost Demon General method can also be retrieved.
Well, it seems that these people will benefit greatly from entering the underworld.
The old Taoist wants to stop the Emperor of Heaven and also wants to find his junior brother. This kind of benefit is too deceptive.
As for me... the only benefit is that I'm just here to make a cameo appearance.
At this time, a new question arises.
The Demonic Zen Clan entered the underworld to retrieve their Great Demon Lord. Why was there no mention of preventing the Great Demon Lord from resurrecting in the secret scroll left by their ancestors?
Is it because the ancestors calculated that the Demonic Zen Vein's journey was doomed to fail? Or is there another reason?
Just as I was guessing the truth of the matter, I heard a heroic laugh coming from the front.
The laughter was full of confidence, making my ears buzz. I looked up and could not help but stand there in a daze again.
Wei Qingcang! This old man who ate the immortal fruit and pretended to be dead, walked out of the hall at this moment. As he walked, he smiled and greeted us, and Gamu followed behind him.
Dong Balang was the first to greet them, and the few of them stood there whispering something.
Seeing them whispering, I, who believe in conspiracy theories, naturally began to worry. What are they talking about? Are they planning to harm me and Laodao?
We have already entered the underworld. Neither I nor the Taoist priest can do anything. It must be very satisfying to do such things as crossing the river and destroying the bridge, and killing the donkey after it has done its work.
I was so confused that I couldn't believe my lie in my mind that I quickly pulled the Taoist's sleeve and was about to speak, but I saw the Taoist shook his head slightly and said: Don't worry, they won't do that.
How do you know? What if they are deliberately trying to lull us into silence? I retorted.
The old Taoist turned his head slightly to look at me and asked: If someone is stronger than you and has a lot of helpers, in this environment that is familiar to them but unfamiliar to us, does he need to show weakness to you deliberately?
I groaned and wanted to continue to refute. But when I thought about it, what the Taoist said was not wrong. If such a group of people really wanted to harm me and the Taoist, they would have taken action long ago.
This is not the first day that Wei Qingcang and his men have been here. If we calculate based on the time, they may have already entered the underworld when the Zhou family was beaten to a bloody pulp. This is not something that happened in just one or two days.
At this time, Wei Qingcang seemed to have finished talking to Dong Balang, and the latter led his men directly into the main hall, while Wei Qingcang and Gamu walked towards us.
After a while, Wei Qingcang looked at me and laughed: Long time no see, you look stronger now, little brother.
I was extremely nervous and didn't know how to reply to him, so I could only laugh. The Taoist priest and I were definitely two extremes. He looked at Wei Qingcang and said very bluntly: You are not dead after all.
Wei Qingcang laughed loudly and said: "How can those few guys kill me? The Zhou family tried every means to plot against my Tianshi Vein, so it's not a loss for me to plot against them occasionally."
Why did you bring us here? The old Taoist priest suddenly asked such a question.
Wei Qingcang laughed even harder. He turned to Gamu and said: You see, a master is a master and nothing can be hidden from him.
Gamu also smiled and nodded. His strong body with a face full of wrinkles looked really out of place at the moment. Walking out from behind Wei Qingcang, Gamu looked at the old Taoist and said: The reason why we brought you here was not our plan, but someone else's.
The old Taoist didn't say anything, but just stared at him, as if waiting for further words.
Unfortunately, Gamu didn’t say much, he just said: We are not very clear about that person’s plan, you can ask him yourself later.
Who is that person? The undertaker? The old Taoist asked this question for the first time, and this is what I want to know the most.
Gamu smiled and shook his head. He did not answer the question, but moved a step to the right and said: Go in first.
The old Taoist didn't move immediately, but stood there and looked at Wei Qingcang and Gamu. The two looked at the old Taoist with smiles on their faces, which were neither light nor heavy, and it was hard to tell whether they were good or bad.
After about a minute, the old Taoist priest, whose expression remained calm, waved his sleeves and walked towards the main hall.
I hesitated for a moment, but still followed him. When I passed by Wei Qingcang and Gamu, I couldn't help but tremble . Because these two people were still laughing, and their laughter was so creepy...
The hall in front of us does not look very wide from the outside, nor does it have any distinctive decorative patterns. It is very different from the gloomy and terrifying Hall of Hell in our imagination.
The hall was very dark, with only a few places where flames as big as human heads were floating. The flames flickered and fluctuated in the air. The surroundings were extremely empty and dark everywhere. Under the illumination of the "ghost fire", a few pillars could be seen. There were some patterns on the pillars, very dim, and at first glance, some of them looked like human faces. This scared me a lot, because it was very similar to the Naihe Bridge I had walked on before.
Dong Balang and the others were standing in the hall, as if waiting for us.
The Taoist priest was in front, I was behind, Wei Qingcang and Gamu followed. When we gathered together, Dong Balang did not speak, and continued to move forward with his men.
Surprisingly, as he took a step forward, his figure gradually disappeared.
It was not because it was too dark inside the hall to see clearly, but because the whole person slowly dissipated like mist. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. Wei Qingcang suddenly spoke from behind: That is the way to enter the Yama Hall.
I was terrified as to why he had to use such a strange way to enter the Yama Palace, but the old Taoist kept moving forward and I had no way to retreat.
When I reached Dongbalang, I saw a path ahead. Different from the flat ground around it, it was slightly sunken and only one foot wide, only wide enough for one person to pass through.
At the beginning of the road, there was a stone statue on each side. The statues were grinning like monsters in pictures, very scary.
I didn't dare to look at it any more, I just kept walking. After a few steps, I felt like I was walking through a thin layer of water curtain, a chilly feeling. But when I touched my body, there was no wet spot.
Looking back again, he saw Wei Qingcang gradually returning to normal from nothing.
Thinking about how I was just like this, I can't help but find it hard to imagine. This is a power that is completely different from science and has never been understood by the world.
When I looked back, the front was already brighter, with floating ghost lights.
In the midst of the will-o'-the-wisp fire, there was a table with a man standing behind it. Dong Barang and others were talking to him.
The old Taoist paused for a moment, but immediately returned to normal. As for me, my mind was completely obsessed with all kinds of curiosity.
There are many people like me who like to explore the mysteries, but I think there are not many who can still maintain sufficient curiosity in this situation. To put it nicely, such people are bold. To put it bluntly, they are mentally retarded...
This place is larger than the previous temple, but also more spacious. The difference is that there are obviously more stone sculptures here, and some are standing, some are lying, and some are... uh, two halves.
The stone sculptures all looked different, but most of them were terrifying. I knew that these stone sculptures were the same as the stone beasts, and they were once flesh and blood. But now, they have turned into stone.
But the Mount Everest incident taught me that these things can still be restored.
A ghost messenger killed almost all of the Wei family. There were no less than fifty stone sculptures in front of him, and most of them were holding weapons.
At this time, Dong Balang seemed to have finished speaking. He turned around and clasped his fists towards me and the old Taoist priest, then led his men straight to the left.
I was stunned. What does this mean?
The old Taoist was not surprised at all, he turned around and followed. Before I could come to my senses, a figure appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw that Wei Qingcang had rushed to the front without knowing when.
He stood in front of the old Taoist priest and said with a smile: Please stay, sir.
The Taoist priest stopped walking, but his right hand, which had been hanging down, was slightly raised. Seeing his action, I was immediately startled.
Since you don't say anything, why don't you make way? The old Taoist didn't start fighting right away as I thought, but asked a question. From this point of view, he was really afraid of Wei Qingcang. You know, the old Taoist's belief is to say what he means... What the hell, if you beat him, there's nothing to say. But now, although he has taken action, he still asked first, which is enough to prove everything.
Wei Qingcang still smiled and said: The plan is about to begin, I hope you will come and show us your talents.
What plan? asked the Taoist priest.
Wei Qingcang turned to look at the man standing behind the desk, then smiled and said: Open the six paths and let all living beings reincarnate.
