The cliffs on both sides stand straight up into the sky like knives and axes.
This makes people feel a strong sense of oppression when they are in the abyss, as if the mountain walls on both sides will be crushed down at any time.
The sea of ghosts was filled with gloom, and weird screams came from all around from time to time, but no one could be seen, just like ghosts.
And the deeper we go into the sea of ghosts, the more unsettling the atmosphere becomes.
When we drove into the central area of the Ghost Sea, another layer of hazy fog suddenly appeared around us.
In the fog, you could vaguely see someone's figure moving around, but you couldn't catch the other person's trace.
In this case, although we haven't seen any definite danger yet, our hearts are already completely tense.
I quickly took out two charms from my pocket, and then carefully paid attention to the movements around me.
Lin Ze also pulled out the mahogany sword from behind and looked at everything around him with a wary expression.
However, Taoist Master Tianhe was still standing at the bow of the boat, with his hands behind his back, and he did not show any nervousness from beginning to end.
"It is said that ghosts often appear in this sea of ghosts. These things are invisible things, similar to ghosts, but different from them. Ordinary spells and spells are basically useless against them, and it is difficult for you to see their traces. Only with It can only be perceived with the power of mind.”
Taoist Master Tianhe suddenly reminded us quietly.
At this time, Lin Ze and I both reacted immediately. We quickly closed our eyes and spread our thoughts to feel it.
But with this perception, my expression changed on the spot.
I saw that in the hazy fog around us, there were actually all erratic figures, densely surrounding us, and waving their teeth and claws at us from time to time.
But these things were obviously just testing and did not actually pounce on us.
"Master, what on earth are these ghosts? Aren't they the ghosts of dead people?"
Lin Ze quickly asked Taoist Priest Tianhe nervously.
"of course not."
Taoist Master Tianhe shook his head and said: "Everything has two sides. Similarly, this world actually has two sides. The world we live in is one of them, and the other side is like the opposite side of a mirror. You can also understand For another world, things like ghosts are creatures from another world."
"Then the other plane world is the so-called underworld, right?"
Lin Ze said thoughtfully.
"You could say the same thing."
Taoist Master Tianhe nodded and said: "But the so-called underworld here is actually different from what most people understand. The legendary underworld is the place where the souls go after death, but in fact, the underworld is another place. The plane world is at our feet, on the opposite side of the world. It is an independent world. There is no connection between the two worlds. They can only be connected to each other in some special places."
Taoist Master Tianhe said and pointed forward, "This sea of ghosts is one of them."
"Then this sea of ghosts is also an entrance to the underworld?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but asked curiously.
"good."
Taoist Master Tianhe nodded and said, "According to ancient legends, there is a sacred peach tree deep in the ghost sea, and the entrance to the underworld is under the sacred peach tree."
"Under the peach tree?"
When I heard this name, my eyes lit up.
Under this sacred peach tree is one of the entrances to hell. I have heard this legend for a long time, but I never expected that the so-called sacred peach tree is actually deep in this sea of ghosts.
"It's just ahead."
Taoist Master Tianhe suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.
I quickly looked up and found that the fog in front of me had actually dissipated at this time.
And in the depths of the ghost sea in the distance, there is actually a huge tree standing in the ghost sea.
Looking from a distance, the giant tree is actually covered with fruits, densely packed.
I'm wondering if the fruit on this tree is a real magical peach, right?
"Master, do peaches really grow on this sacred peach tree? Will eating them lead to immortality or something?"
Lin Ze obviously also saw the fruit on the tree, and he quickly asked Taoist Master Tianhe with bright eyes.
"I've never heard of such rumors, but even if there are fruits growing on this tree, people will definitely not be able to eat them."
Taoist Master Tianhe shook his head slightly and said.
The paper boat moved forward, and soon it came to the sacred peach tree.
At this time, Lin Ze and I looked as uncomfortable as if we had eaten flies.
Because the fruits that are abundant on the tree are not fruits at all, let alone peaches, but round human heads, all over the tree, densely covered with every branch.
This divine peach tree is also quite huge. Its branches and leaves spread out, covering the sky and the sun, almost covering the sea surface for several miles around. Some branches even stretch to the cliffs on both sides.
Such a huge tree, and the tree is full of human heads.
I was wondering how many heads there were on such a tree? I'm afraid it must be tens of thousands, right?
This scene can scare people half to death just looking at it.
Taoist Master Tianhe also controlled the paper boat to stop at this time, and did not sail directly into the range covered by the branches and leaves of Shentao.
Because no matter how you look at it, that's not a wise move.
"Master, where did so many heads come from on this tree? Are these heads really grown on the peach tree itself?"
After Lin Ze took a look, he quickly asked Taoist Tianhe out of curiosity.
"It should be."
Taoist Master Tianhe nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to legend, every time a person dies in this sea of ghosts, his soul's resentment will be absorbed by this divine peach tree, and a fruit will be born. Unexpectedly, this tree will bear fruit." The fruits produced were all human heads. Judging from this situation, there are probably countless innocent souls who have been buried in the ghost sea. No wonder the headmaster of Xuanmen wanted to use great magic power to move mountains and fill the sea to suppress it. "
Lin Ze and I couldn't help but change our minds when we heard this.
If each of these heads really represents an innocent soul who died in the sea of ghosts, then the number of people who have been buried in this sea of ghosts is simply incalculable.
Once this kind of thing appears in the world, I'm afraid how many people will be buried in it, right?
"Then what should we do now? Should we suppress it too? To prevent this thing from continuing to harm people."
Lin Ze said and raised his hand to make a gesture.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Taoist Master Tianhe shook his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "How capable was the Xuanmen master back then to suppress him? Looking at today's Xuanzhou world, it is probably impossible to find such a person again."
"Not even you, Master?"
Lin Ze looked at Taoist Tianhe with some disbelief.
"I?"
Taoist Master Tianhe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm still far away."
Now Lin Ze and I didn’t know what to say.
Even with the magical power of Tianhe Taoist Priest, there is no way to suppress this sea of ghosts and ghosts. Then this thing may really be helpless.
