Just when Jin'an and the others were looking at the painted boats and building boats, the people on those boats also discovered their small wooden boat.
Those people had an extraordinary temperament. They just lowered their eyebrows for a glance and then turned to look in the same direction. They all came for the same purpose.
This scene aroused the interest of the three people in Muzhou. After a little discussion, they decided to follow up and have a look. Anyway, they had no clue about finding the temple for the time being. It was better to watch the excitement with so many people. It was safer with more people and could go deeper into the interior. Maybe by then we will find a temple where we can return to the earthly world?
Qingyun Zhenren was also curious about which class so many people were moving into, so he started paddling to follow the fleet.
The underworld is huge and becomes more dangerous as you go deeper. The gray mist floating on the river becomes thicker and thicker. The gray mist is filled with countless whispers, lingering like a nightmare, as if there are thousands of people following you. Talking in your head, tempting you to look underwater.
Boom!
The river was surging and the waves were rolling, causing the canoes to shake violently. In this strange underworld, people wondered whether there were many corpses gathering under the boat, trying to overturn the boat and make them scapegoats.
"The Huangquan Water Road is getting wider and wider as we go, and the water is flowing rapidly. Could it be that we are heading towards the mouth of the sea?" the old Taoist priest said in a low voice.
Jin An pondered for a moment and asked Master Qingyun who was at the helm: "Fellow Taoist Qingyun, you know the art of walking in the underworld, but have you ever been to the ocean in the underworld? What does it look like there?"
He had not thought about this issue in the past, and looked at Master Qingyun curiously and expectantly.
Master Qingyun looked very solemn and shook his head, saying that there is a black wind that enchants souls, and it is said to be a boundless sea of suffering from which there is no return. The Underworld Sea is the place of fallen souls. Like him, many of his colleagues will never see the Dead Sea in their lives.
According to Master Qingyun, the Underworld Sea is far more dangerous than the inland area. It is a forbidden place where there is no return, no return, no life, and a common forbidden land for the living and the dead. Many eminent Buddhist monks believe that the boundless sea of suffering is the sea of suffering recorded in the Buddhist scriptures, and that the end of the sea of suffering is the other shore where "all suffering can be overcome." Therefore, many eminent Buddhist monks throughout the ages have regarded getting out of the sea of suffering as the goal of lifelong hard work, but so far no one can Among those who came back alive were powerful people who only existed in the three realms in legend.
Taoism calls the four seas in the underworld the Dead Sea and the Sea of Hell.
Buddhism calls it the boundless sea of suffering.
If people have self, they will have immeasurable pain and immeasurable troubles. If people have endless pain, the sea of suffering will be immeasurable and boundless. Therefore, when Buddhists urge people to do good, they always say that the sea of suffering is boundless and they will be able to return to the shore. And if you can survive the boundless sea of suffering, you can cultivate Mahayana Buddhism, without greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt. As the sea of suffering is boundless, the Buddha Dharma will be as boundless as it is. Climb to the other shore, transcend life and death, and never die. Immortal.
There is not much description of the Sea of Hell in the Taoist sect. They only vaguely mention that it is the place of Guixu, the bottomless valley.
In short, Taoism and Buddhism regard the ocean in the underworld as the most dangerous place and are very afraid of it.
Jin An had never heard of this knowledge before. Just when he was humbly asking Master Qingyun for advice, suddenly, there was a splash of water, which alerted the three of them.
Jin An came to the bow of the ship and looked at the world deep in the gray fog.
The old Taoist priest also followed and looked ahead, but the fog on this Jiuqu Huangquan Road was too thick, and the field of vision was blocked. Only the vague shapes of several huge buildings could be seen.
"Little brother, did you see what was going on?"
"Someone jumped into the water."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old Taoist priest and Master Qingyun changed. This road to the underworld is not a good place. This underworld is the road to the underworld for the dead. No one can tell clearly what is under the turbid water. How many dead people and walking corpses have gathered? It will definitely be a disaster if a living person falls.
"No! Someone fell down again!"
Plop.
Plop.
As soon as Jin An finished speaking, the originally silent mist world heard the sound of falling water one after another.
"There is something enchanting under the water. Everyone, please sit still and don't look under the water!" Jin An frowned.
He had a higher level of cultivation than the old Taoist priest and could see far away. He could vaguely see a few people on the boat in front trying to save those who fell into the water. He just leaned on the side of the boat and looked at the water. As a result, several people were in the water in despair. They didn't even have time to send out a direct cry for help. If it sinks to the bottom, there will be more danger than good.
Just when the three of them sat down, gave up paddling, and let the waves take their course to avoid being spotted by the mysterious and unknown things underwater, Jin An felt the moisture behind him and the sound of breaking waves. He turned around and saw that there was a boat in the mist behind him. The treasure ship came riding the wind and waves.
The treasure ship had no masts or sails, and was driven forward entirely by an alchemy furnace. The fire in the furnace was blazing, and the treasure ship moved forward steadily.
The treasure ship is attached to a pair of golden pairs, splitting the gray fog and illuminating the universe.
——Mediating Hong Zao!
——Put things in order!
"It's the treasure ship of Yujing Golden Tower!" Master Qingyun also noticed something unusual behind him, turned his head and saw the treasure ship clearly, and let out a low cry.
"What happened in the underworld? This time even the people from the Immortal Capital Yujing Golden Tower were dispatched!"
The people on the treasure ship saw the three people in the wooden boat and immediately raised a flag. The helmsman changed direction, narrowly passing by the wooden boat, and then continued moving forward.
"This is a great opportunity. Let's follow the treasure ship of Yujing Golden Tower, and they will help us protect the road!" Master Qingyun said with joy, and even picked up the oar to row the boat.
Just as the treasure ship passed by, the three of them discovered that they were not the only ones with the same idea. There were shadowy figures in the mist behind the treasure ship, and green candlelight drifted, followed by a few lone boats. They all came from small sects of cultivation like Jin An and the others. The person has his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade.
Like a small fish swimming around a whale.
The people from Yujing Jinque did not drive these people away and allowed them to follow.
"It seems that they are all of the same kind. Like us, these people happened to encounter this fleet when they were walking through the underworld, and they followed curiously to watch the fun." Master Qingyun said.
Because there was a big tree at our back, everything went smoothly on the next road to Huangquan, and we finally docked in a steep mountainous area.
Master Qingyun was really right, this fleet was not going to sea.
After the people from the fleet landed ashore, they headed straight for the mountains. When Jin'an and the others landed, they found that the civilians were planning to form a temporary alliance to travel together in this dangerous and unknown underworld.
Jin An thought for a while and joined in. Maybe these private cultivators could know some information.
