"I want you to go to Dagushan and deliver this box to the mountain god of Dagushan."
It doesn't sound like a difficult task to accomplish.
I was about to agree, but at this moment, Lonnie glared at Lang Zhenxiong fiercely.
"Dad, what do you mean? Didn't you say before that you would never contact Dagushan again?"
Lang Zhenxiong said quickly: "Ni, please listen to my explanation. I asked Cheng Yi to go to Dagushan this time not to contact her, but because..."
"I won't listen!"
Lonnie directly covered her ears, not wanting to hear Lang Zhenxiong's explanation.
"You once promised my mother and me that you would never have anything to do with Dagushan again. Why did you go back on your word?"
Lang Zhenxiong looked embarrassed and had no choice but to look at me for help.
From the quarrel between father and daughter, I can probably guess that there seems to be a very important person to Lang Zhenxiong in Dagushan.
It sounds like my father-in-law had a romantic affair with the guy from Dagushan.
Alas, after all, he has been young for a long time. As the top immortal of Waiwutang, it does not seem to be incomprehensible that he had a relationship when he was young.
However, I could understand Lonnie's resistance, so I secretly made a gesture to my father-in-law, telling him not to worry, and I would be the one to comfort Lonnie.
Seeing the gesture I made, Lang Zhenxiong felt relieved and told us to pay attention to safety. Then he disappeared in a flash.
It wasn't until Lang Zhenxiong disappeared that Lonnie turned around and looked at the direction Lang Zhenxiong left, with slightly red eyes.
It was obvious that she didn't mean to be angry with her father, but she just had another knot in her heart that was difficult to untie.
I didn’t know much about my father-in-law’s situation back then, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so I had to comfort Lonnie and told her not to worry too much. During this trip, we would just hand over the things to Dagushan God and come back immediately. The others would be waiting. not see.
Lonnie was not unreasonable. After some comfort from me, she no longer refused and agreed to send this thing to Dagushan with me.
Dagushan is located in the far north. It has to span thousands of kilometers from here, so we have to give up the search for the Soul Refining Pot fragments for the time being, intending to fulfill my father-in-law's instructions first, and then talk about other things.
This was also my first time to go to such a far place. The group took a train for a day and trekked for three hours until they reached the foot of Dagushan Mountain at sunset the next day.
This large solitary mountain is ten thousand feet high, with its peak reaching straight into the sky. The mountain is bare, and above the mountainside, there is a thick layer of black mist, as if there is something sinister hidden in it.
Just standing at the foot of the mountain, I could feel waves of Yin Qi coming towards my face, and I couldn't help but be a little more vigilant.
"Strange, this Dagushan wasn't like this before?"
Seeing this scene, Lonnie was also very surprised. She had been here when she was very young. At that time, Dagushan had beautiful scenery, luxuriant water and grass, and there were so many people in the lower reaches of the mountain. How could it have turned into this after a few years? What about his appearance?
Faced with this situation, we did not dare to go up the mountain rashly, so I summoned the local immortal and asked him what happened here.
The Earth Immortal told us that ten years ago, a cloud of black mist suddenly came from nowhere and enveloped the entire Dagushan Mountain. From that day on, the Dagushan Mountain God disappeared and there was no trace of him. Know where he went.
The mountain people living nearby did not know what the black mist represented, so they went to pick on the mountain as usual the next day. However, after these mountain people went up the mountain, none of them came back.
Later, those who went to the mountain to look for them also disappeared one after another. People finally realized that something was wrong and moved away one after another. From then on, this Dagushan Mountain was called the Evil Mountain. No one dared to take a step closer to it. It became desolate.
As for other situations, the Earth Immortal does not know and cannot tell us.
After the Earth Immortal left, Baize and Lonnie and I discussed that in order to fulfill Lang Zhenxiong's instructions, it seemed that we could only go up the mountain to see what happened here.
So we set off immediately, and a group of people climbed up along the bare rocks.
The Dagushan Mountain was so lifeless that not a single living thing could be seen during the entire climb. We could only see the bones of some animals on the roadside from time to time, showing signs of struggle before birth. We don’t know what horrific situations they encountered during their lifetimes.
Finally, we were almost halfway up the mountain. The black fog above our heads was getting thicker and thicker. Nothing good ever happened in this kind of black fog, so we stuck together closely and entered the black fog. among.
The sight was filled with black air, and the visibility was less than two meters. From time to time, wandering spirits could be seen floating past us, making bursts of shrill ghostly cries. This feeling made people feel like they were in the Nine Netherworld. In the underworld!
But gradually we discovered that those ghosts did not seem to pay attention to our existence, they were just floating around, but had no intention of attacking us.
I marked a stone on the side of the road and continued walking along the same route.
Sure enough, not long after, I saw the stone marked before again, which means we are back to the same place!
Remembering that I had encountered a similar barrier before when I was looking for the Wang Manor, I picked up my old tricks again and planned to use the paper kite to lead us out of the barrier.
But what surprised me this time was that I released three paper kites one after another, but they all didn't fly far before they were swallowed up by the ghosts.
Although these ghosts are not obviously aggressive towards us, they seem to be deliberately preventing us from getting out of this barrier. If there were not so many of these ghosts, I would really have to go on a killing spree!
"If I guess correctly, we may have entered a ghost gate."
Just when I was at a loss what to do, Bai Ze suddenly spoke.
"Ghost Gate, what is that?"
I couldn't help but ask curiously.
"There are countless ghost gates in the underworld. This is the passage connecting the two realms of yin and yang. Every July 15th, several ghost gates will open."
"At this time, the underworld will appear and bring to justice the lonely ghosts wandering in the earth. Some good ghosts who have accumulated enough yin virtue will also have the opportunity to return to the underworld and meet the family members they miss."
"It's just that the ghost gate opens at a fixed time and is controlled by the underworld. However, this ghost gate seems to have lost its manager, which is why those ghosts continue to emerge from the underworld."
Bai Ze's explanation really gave me a lot of knowledge. It was also the first time I knew that there were so many ghost gates in this underworld.
