The night is clear and quiet. Although the bright moon is not full, it is still bright and transparent, spreading everywhere and it is still quiet!
It was surrounded by shadows of trees, but people could be seen clearly, and it was surrounded by an open space of less than ten feet in radius.
At this time, in the middle of the open space, a platform was built that was more than ten feet square. The platform was no more than five feet high, but the distance between it was divided into nine levels. Each floor on the four sides is different in height, but filled with all kinds of strange things.
Yin Lihua stood on the side and looked at this platform in shock. This is also the holy land. According to Gao Yangyi, this is the most solemn altar for the old master Pengcuo of Wuxi. Just now Phuntsok went to treat Ran Mofeng. Although Yin Lihua didn't know the result, when she saw him bringing Ran Xiuniang over, Ran Xiuniang looked happy and guessed that Ran Mofeng was fine.
Yang Shan and Yan Song actually didn't come over. What Yin Lihua believed was that given Phuntsok's character, he wouldn't have brought them here to be an eyesore without Gao Yanghui's permission.
Sure enough, Gao Yangyi seemed to be in a much better mood. Seeing that Ran Xiuniang seemed to know etiquette, he just gave a few instructions. Later, Yin Lihua saw her busy with Pengcuo.
Two people cut the Yin Soul Stone under Huan Huan's body and moved it out into a three-foot-square piece. Later, Yin Lihua found out that they had moved the cut Yin Soul Stone to this altar, preparing to give it to Huan Huan. Use it after Huanhuan moves.
Then Pengcuo arranged for Yan Song and Yang Shan to guard the passage, apparently to prevent anyone in Sizhou City from finding the secret passage. Although the holy land is protected by a large formation, they are also afraid that someone will destroy it and affect the two people's plan to save Huan Huan.
Arrangements were made for Ran Xiuniang to keep an eye on Huanhuan, and then two people took Yin Lihua to the altar. Let Yin Lihua be responsible for the stability of the altar and the safety of Huanhuan when she comes.
Although Yin Lihua knew that the two of them were going to perform a ritual, and she didn't know whether it would go smoothly, but when she saw the solemn faces of the two of them, she felt the seriousness of the matter. Although she couldn't help standing aside, it was Be careful not to make any mistakes.
When Yin Lihua came over, the two of them had prepared the altar. Although the four altars are not too high, they are wooden platforms divided into nine levels. And it obviously looked like it had been prepared for a long time, because the wood on the wooden platform already looked a little old.
Gao Yangyi must have been preparing for this ceremony for a long time. Although Yin Lihua could not predict or estimate it, she could smell the smell of blood in her mouth and nose, which made her feel even more nervous.
Thinking of what Gao Yangyi said, although she didn't believe it at all, there were so many questions in this world that Yin Lihua would not feel strange. For some reason, Yin Lihua suddenly thought of the man sitting on the platform of the tree stump. The naked man who was said to be related to Liu Jixing.
Can she survive?
Yin Lihua didn't seem to dare to think about it, but she was vaguely looking forward to it. After all, it would be exciting for anyone to see someone wake up after sleeping for decades. Yin Lihua had already forgotten her situation at this time, looking at the platform in front of her with shock.
Around the platform on the first floor, what makes people stunned is that neatly lined up are the heads of cows nailed to the edge of the wooden platform one by one. The cow heads with wide eyes have just been chopped off not long ago. The knife edge was still dripping with residual blood, and the blood flowed along the wooden platform to the ground. It seemed that the entire platform was floating and standing in the sea of blood.
Surrounding the platform on the second floor, what is creepy is that there are all kinds of snakes. They are all baring their teeth and spitting messages, and they are wrapped around the platform on the second floor. What is strange is that the distance between it and the bull head on the lower level is very close to the upper level, but it does not exceed it at all. It seems to be fixed on this level.
Around the platform on the third floor, there are earthenware jars one by one. The earthenware jars one foot in diameter and two feet in height seem to be filled with water. But I don’t know what kind of water it is. The surface of the altar mouth quietly reflects the bright moons. Looking from a slightly higher position, it seems that the platform is surrounded by moons.
Surrounding the fourth floor platform are palm-sized straw men, and the knitted straw men are actually wearing clothes. Of course, it's actually just using fabrics of various colors to wrap the straw man's body to create a simple clothing style. These straw men were nailed around the platform, looking particularly eerie in the night.
The area around the fifth floor platform looks relatively simple. There are four animal heads divided into four platforms, and they are also nailed in the middle of the four platforms.
To the east is a muntjac deer head with fangs. It is said that when the muntjac deer cries, there will be disaster, which has always been a very bad thing. To the south is a water ghost head with red eyes. The toothy grin resembles that of a ghost monkey. The creature is a legendary being that confuses souls and likes to steal people's souls; to the west is a white wolf head with ferocious eyes. Legend has it that ghosts cry and howl, and the white wolf is the leader of the pack; but to the north is a rarer blood-soaked creature. The head of the ape is white. This white ape is more like an orangutan. It must be the legendary Shura of the North Sea who likes to eat human brains raw.
Around the sixth floor platform, there are various masks, all carved from a dark wood. Judging from the appearance of the mask, it seems that it is not a modern thing. It must be an ancient relic inherited from Phuntsok's voodoo technique. Although Yin Lihua doesn't understand it, she also knows the practice of voodoo. There has always been a theory of being possessed by gods. These fierce masks may represent the witch gods in witchcraft.
The situation around the seventh floor platform is even more incredible. Yin Lihua didn't even know what those things were. The strips were no more than three fingers wide, and looked like strips of cloth. But they are all wrapped around the edge of the platform, and are written in strange fonts with vermilion cinnabar, flying around the platform.
Around the eighth floor platform, it was the first time that people felt that this platform was different. They were skulls one by one, and they seemed to be glowing with blue phosphorescence, which also added to the feeling of panic.
And on the ninth floor platform, which is the core of the altar, a square Yin Soul Stone is now placed in the middle. Because it is separated from the environment of the underground rock cellar, and there is no surrounding cold seal, a psychedelic mist is emitting around the Yin Po Stone, and the entire platform feels like winter.
The bright moon is in the sky!
A sharp roar penetrated the sky, coming from far away and approaching, breathtaking.
Yin Lihua's expression suddenly changed. When she heard the shrill voice, she felt as if her eardrums had been penetrated. He was able to protect his body even though he was able to maintain his mind through forceful exercises, but he still felt that his energy and blood were surging, and his heart was so filled with suffocation that he almost spurted blood.
When the sound got a little closer, the sound suddenly stopped! It was a sudden shock, which made people lose control of their minds.
Yin Lihua felt a sweetness in her chest, the tight string in her heart suddenly relaxed, and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood! His eyes trembled, but he saw only a figure flickering in the moonlight, and the figures of Gao Yangyi and Pengcuo appeared at the same time.
Gao Yangfu held Huan Huan in his hands, as if he were holding a baby. Pengcuo, who followed closely, actually took a palm-sized Yin Po Stone with his palm and placed it three inches below Huan Huan's body.
The two men were extremely skilled, but they also followed closely closely, obviously fearing that Huan Huan would escape the protection of the Yin Po Stone. Not seeing any movement from the two people, they flew towards the altar.
Yin Lihua's face changed suddenly, and she thought it was Phuntsok's voice at first. Then she saw Phuntsok and Gao Yangyi together, and it was obvious that it was not Phuntsok's fault just now. There must be some masters coming. Just imagine that with Yin Lihua's current skills, she is a master in the world, let alone her master.
But now, those who appear one after another are all extremely rare figures in the world. Even his master is a junior in front of them. As an innate master, Yin Lihua felt both uneasy and a little excited. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seeing that Gao Yangyi and Pengcuo had serious expressions on their faces, they vaguely guessed that it might have been the person just now, and they couldn't help but feel even more shocked! Today, with the skills of two people, who else in this world would make them so cautious.
But I saw that the two people were really careful and placed Huanhuan on the Yin Po Stone. After exchanging glances, Pengcuo nodded affirmatively at Gao Yangyi. Gao Yangyi looked up at the moon, then looked at Huanhuan in front of him quietly, and resolutely sat down two feet away from her.
The Yin bell rang in Phuntsok's hand, and a gloomy wind seemed to rise around him. The cold air emitted by the Yin Soul Stone dances on the platform, and it is as solid and visible as the cold air in the winter breath. The ringing sound kept getting louder and louder, seeming to come from the movement of Jiuyou.
Whoosh! The eyes of the skull inlaid on the eighth floor suddenly emitted blue light. From a distance, it looked like the skull had opened its eyes. The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and under the bright moonlight, it felt extremely cold!
Yin Lihua trembled all over and almost felt drowsy. She forced herself to cheer up. Remembering what Gao Yanghui started to say to her, she couldn't help but look at the platform closely.
"Sister Xiaoyi! I haven't seen you for many years, can you show up and see me!" A rich and hoarse voice sounded in my ears, like someone whispering in my ears. Although the voice was trying to be kind, the rustling sound made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Yin Lihua saw Gao Yangyi's face was calm and his hands were in the air to support Huan Huan. After hearing this voice, her eyes seemed a little confused. The other party called her by her first name. It was obvious that she was not only an acquaintance, but also very familiar with her. However, Pengcuo was walking around Gao Yangyi and Huanhuan, his figure seemed to be getting faster and faster, and from Yin Lihua's perspective, they seemed to have turned into a circle of phantoms.
The voice received no response and seemed to have gone away. Because of the peculiar sound transmission, Yin Lihua didn't even hear the person's location. While I was concentrating in my heart, I suddenly saw that there seemed to be a bit more color in the sky. A bright red reflected the sky, which looked in the direction of Sizhou City.
Sizhou City is on fire! Sizhou City, which was mostly built with stones, actually burst into flames.
Although this place is not far from Sizhou City, it is because the double-layered formation has been activated. Of course, ordinary people cannot come in. I am afraid that those who come in will also have some hallucinations. You can see the fire on the other side of Sizhou City because Phuntsok deliberately left it open in order to drive the soul.
Just like the maze in later generations, outsiders standing at a high place can naturally see the exit and death of the overall situation, but if the people in the game are confused, they may fall into death forever.
"My sister's formation is really wonderful, but Brother Wei has seen some clues. Zizi, if the sister doesn't come out to greet the guests, Brother Wei will have to come in by himself!" Suddenly, the hoarse voice sounded again: " Could it be that my sister is still angry at her brother?"
"Quack!" Gao Yangyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his eyebrows and immediately spoke out in a cold voice: "Sheng Yan, if you have the ability, come in and see for yourself!"
Phuntsok did not pause on the altar, but Yin Lihua's expression changed in shock. After hearing what Gao Yangyi said, I couldn't help but feel shocked when I thought of the person outside.
True Lord Jiuyin said that he is the leader of the four ghost kings of the Hell Gate and one of the Ten Halls of Yama.
Ghost King! It is a knight-errant and swordsman in the world of martial arts, the name given to the leader of Hell Gate! It represents this person’s status at the gate of hell.
Yama! It is the highest deity in the underworld among Taoists of ghost theory and Taoism, so its identity can naturally be seen. And it is also the honor of being the master of the gate to gate of hell! It is also the place where ghosts believe.
The King of Ghosts or the King of Hell, or even the Mother of Ghosts, are all expressions of supremacy! He is the master or elder of Hell Gate! It is also the highest divine residence in the underworld.
Because although the name of the Hell Gate is terrifying, and although the names of the people in the gate are scary, none of them are treacherous or evil. Instead, most of them are people with clear grudges. Of course, people in the world determine success or failure and reputation based on their preferences. Therefore, although Hell Gate has dominated the world for many years, it has always stood firm in Sichuan.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the royal family lost power, and the world gradually became chaotic. First, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao rebelled, completely tearing the rags in the face of the Li family dynasty, and heroes from south to north competed for hegemony. Then all the princes in the world took the opportunity to serve the king, not only increasing their own power, but also competing for each other's territory.
Since the establishment of the sect, Hell Gate has claimed to be the holy religion of the world. Since the sixth generation sect master led his people to settle down in Fengdu, and each generation of sect masters are called ghost emperors, friends in the world call it Hell Gate.
At that time, the leader of the Hell Gate, Yin Wubotian, was a prodigy and claimed to be the best in the world. Not only is he always very conceited, he thinks that the deer and tripod in the world should be better than me! Moreover, Yin Wuji has many disciples and good generals, and he has the feeling and willingness to strive for supremacy in the world.
At that time, among the Hell Sect congregation, the most famous subordinates of Yin Wuji were the ten disciples who were talked about by people in later generations and were called the Ten Palaces of Yama.
These ten outstanding disciples of the Hell Sect were all taught by the elders and masters of various circles in the Hell Sect. Not only are all of them possessed of miraculous skills, but their cultivation is enough to claim to be the master of their own.
Originally, with the bottomless idea of yin, it was natural to send these ten disciples to various parts of the world, let them develop independently and fight on their own, leading a group of followers to fight for the world. However, although these disciples are young, they all have some ideas in their hearts, and they all want to be like He Yin Wuji, who is not only invincible in the world, but also can leave a name in history.
Seeing the decline of the Tang Dynasty and the great rivers and mountains actually falling into pieces, now that they have the opportunity to display their skills, these people all want to be heroes in these troubled times.
However, although the vassal towns were divided at that time, they took advantage of the opportunity of siege and suppression of Huangchao to develop their own power, and secretly disobeyed the leadership of the central Tang Emperor. Although everyone also wants to be that ninety-five-year-old emperor. But everyone understands one thing, that is destiny, because after all, Huang Chao is a good example.
Everyone is a little ready to make a move, but after all, the emperor is still alive. Even though everyone is making preparations, no one takes the lead and is worried that others will attack them collectively.
These disciples of Hell Gate enter the world on a routine basis, with different identities and statuses, and they all play their own roles. They went to various vassal towns one after another, and they all made some achievements. Each has become a famous figure in the feudal town and in the world.
At this time, the world is already in danger, but the last straw that breaks the camel's back has not yet appeared in the world. Many people with ideas have sensed an opportunity, but such opportunities and actions require the accumulation of time to prove.
Everyone at Hell Gate is united, feeling that the spring of Hell Gate has arrived. But what no one expected was that something suddenly happened at the Gate of Hell.
This incident later became the secret of Hell Gate and the secret history of the world!
Yin Wuji, who had always been ambitious and claimed to be invincible in the world, disappeared, just inexplicably!
It was as if he had disappeared into thin air, and no one knew where he had gone! Even his closest disciples and relatives don't know his whereabouts.
The Hell Gate blocked the news, but the congregation inside the Hell Gate was boiling like a boiling pot of water. Because the core soul figure is missing, and there are any big plans for the world, everything seems to be illusory.
Although the people of Hell Gate searched all over the world, and everyone went to look for him, all his relatives and disciples were sent out, but there was no trace left. It stands to reason that Yin Wuji was originally in the door, but it disappeared silently.
Judging from Yin Wuji's cultivation level, if he wanted to go out, the disciples responsible for patrolling would really not be able to detect his whereabouts. What's more, everyone would know that he had behaved like this. However, the Hell Sect strictly prohibits its disciples from leaving the sect privately. As the leader of the sect, Yin Wuji is at the helm. Although there are some exceptions, if something happens, he will at least tell the elders and relatives.
But no, he just disappeared silently!
Naturally, this incident later became the biggest pain for Hell Gate and the biggest question for the church members.
Some people say that he has understood the highest level of cultivation and has become a saint through martial arts! Many elders in the sect even invited experts from Taoism and Buddhism to come, but none of them got confirmation. Instead, the incident spread to the world, causing an uproar in the world.
Some people say that he was killed by an expert and his body was buried in the wilderness without a trace. Not to mention that Yin Wuji's cultivation at that time was already invincible in the world, even if there were people who were smarter than him, it would not be easy to deal with them. Naturally, traces and clues will be left everywhere, but neither the church members nor even the knight-errant swordsmen in the world have found any clues.
Rivals in the arena and people with whom he had grievances in the past were certainly happy to see him disappear. But his sudden disappearance, perhaps no one thought, would end a world of chaos.
The bottomless plan was put on hold with his sudden disappearance, but the continuation of his plan for that day was fermented.
First of all, because of his disappearance, different sounds appeared at the Hell Gate. Some people were in favor of continuing the plan, but there were serious differences over who should take the lead.
Don’t talk about support or opposition, just talk about the power of this huge congregation, which is really heart-warming. But even though Yin Wu Di disappears, no one is too smart to sit in this position until the day he is not found.
The biggest dispute, first of all, is naturally the absence of the sect leader, and then there are the various interests involved. Privately, the disciples all acted independently, and some even came together from different towns.
With the constant appearances and actions, Hell Gate's actions in various feudal towns naturally attracted the attention of people from all over the world. Among them, the Taoist and Buddhist schools are most nervous about the actions of the Hell Gate. Not only did they gradually appear openly, they even deliberately suppressed and monitored the actions of Hell Gate.
The most famous Ten Palaces of Hell Gate, Yama, also made a name for themselves at this time. However, because of the high profile of Hell Gate, it was suppressed by various sects in the world. It even united with Taoists and Buddhists to have several major conflicts.
Because there was no one in charge of the overall situation at the Hell Gate, not only did they lose two ghost kings, but they also had to close the gate again to practice.
This year happened to be about five years after Yin Wuji disappeared. Zhu Wen overthrew the Li family dynasty and became the emperor himself. Wang Jian of Shu also established the Kingdom of Shu, and actually gave Fengdu to Hell Gate.
It turns out that among the ten Yamas who were walking around the world that day, four of them were the most talked about. That is the old man Naihe who is ranked first, the pink-faced jade Rakshasa Gao Yangyi who is ranked second, the Jiuyin Zhenjun Shengyan who is ranked third, and the jade-faced Yama Luo Su Xipo who is ranked fourth.
Not only are they the best among the Ten Palaces of Yama, they are also the four ghost kings who are feared by knight-errant swordsmen all over the world!
Later, because of Gao Yangyi's sudden rise and the fact that he had nine disciples, he was revered as the Nine Sons Ghost Mother. These disciples have created a huge reputation in the world just like Gao Yangyi, who has never seen the dragon.
Later, because old man Naihe was very popular, he was promoted as the acting sect leader by the sect. In addition, Shura King Shentu Fen suddenly emerged as a new force. Since then, the four ghost kings have eliminated old man Naihe, and the last one has become Shura King Shen Tufu. With the addition of Gao Yangyi, the nine-son ghost mother, the four ghost kings have become more worthy of their names.
And the old man Naihe who was the acting leader of the sect, Mo Naihe, gradually became the twenty-sixth generation ghost emperor of the Hell Sect.
