Although today is the middle of the month, there is no moon visible in the sky.
I don’t know if it’s for psychological reasons, but Qiu Ping felt that the atmosphere tonight was particularly dull or... depressing. Not only did the dogs in the village stop barking, but even the landowner strangely didn’t come out for inspection. He really shrank in his small room like a clay sculpture. In the temple.
The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain, but Qiu Ping did not receive a letter from the City God to provide rain.
This unusual atmosphere seemed to indicate that something unusual was about to happen.
Qiu Ping stayed in the ancient well early, feeling a little anxious inside.
Because according to the instructions of the two night wandering gods that day, a noble man will come over today and want to use the ancient well to enter the underworld.
As time passed, Qiu Pingping became more and more anxious. He couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the noble man had something to do?
Just when he was thinking so wildly, there was suddenly a slight sound of metal collision in the distance, and there was a faint smell of sulfur mixed with sandalwood in the air.
Qiu Ping instantly became alert, and his soul emerged, transforming into a boy and arriving outside the ancient well.
He only saw a strangely dressed woman standing not far away, with smoke rising from all sides.
The woman has a graceful figure, wearing silver armor, and her whole body seems to be transformed from lead and mercury. There were countless bright red symbols on her exposed skin that looked like they were painted with cinnabar. It looks divine and weird.
"It's not my real body, it looks a bit like my divine body." Qiu Ping's understanding of the world of cultivation is still at a very superficial level, and he can only get a rough idea.
If he had read some Taoist classics, he would be able to recognize that this is actually the Taoist method of rebirth.
After some monks cultivated the Yin God, because they were afraid of the various disasters in the real world, such as sunlight, wind, thunder, etc., they would use the secret medicine of lead and mercury to transform themselves when traveling, as if they were wearing a layer of protection around their bodies. A, protect me and have certain attack power.
"Huh? It smells like osmanthus spirit dew."
The woman strode up to Qiu Ping, looking down at Qiu Ping from a high position, with a strong golden aura emanating from her whole body.
As a little earthly god, he hated this smell the most, but he could only secretly use his divine power to resist.
"You are very nice. You have put in the effort. Next time I see my uncle, I will say a few nice words to him and you. What is your name?" The woman was very satisfied with Qiu Ping's welcoming attitude.
Qiu Ping's focus was on the word "uncle". The uncle the other party mentioned was most likely the City God. His connections were really enviable.
Qiu Ping muttered something secretly, but a brighter smile appeared on his face, "The little god's name is Qiu Ping. Please don't say that, young lady. It is the little god's honor to work for the eldest lady."
If these words come from an adult's mouth, they will sound greasy. But the person speaking now is a child, which is so innocent and cute.
Of course, I am not sure whether this boy is an old silver coin at heart.
The woman was even more satisfied with Qiu Ping's attitude, but she didn't waste any more words. There were still important things waiting for her.
"Qiu Ping, you also know the purpose of my trip. I need to use your way to enter the underworld. More importantly, I need to use your divine power to protect me along the way to prevent me from suffering too much loss." The woman's tone became serious. many.
"It's all covered by the little god." Qiu Ping agreed.
After saying that, he took the lead and turned into a black light and dived into the ancient well. The woman's body also began to evaporate, turning into thick mist and falling into the water.
Her divine body is made of lead and mercury, and can freely change between solid and liquid states.
Qiu Ping entered the water and activated his authority. The surrounding water turned into driving force, pushing the two of them forward quickly.
At the same time, his divine power separated into a stream, which was wrapped in the mist transformed by the woman to prevent it from being eroded by the earth evil power in the underground river.
The two people moved forward very fast, and in a blink of an eye they came to the end of a small branch of the underground river.
At the end, there is a pit the size of a human head. It is bottomless and full of depth, just like an eye filled with black.
Water rushed into it, but it could never be filled.
There is no vegetation growing within a few tens of feet around the pit. It seems that all life flowing through this place will be sucked away.
Although this place is considered to be under Qiu Ping's jurisdiction, he can avoid this place on weekdays.
Compared with the majestic warmth of heaven, the underworld is full of negativity and gloom.
"Miss, be careful!"
Qiu Ping carefully wrapped the woman with his divine power and entered the pit together with the endless stream of water.
As soon as they entered it, a strong attraction force came from under the two of them, causing the two of them to fall a hundred times faster.
This weird and unspeakable feeling of weightlessness reminded Qiu Ping of the time when he was trying to use the toilet in his previous life. After the sewer was clogged, he used the toilet shovel to suck hard on the opening of the passage, and then pushed and pulled it hard twice. through.
But soon, his forward speed slowed down again, giving him the feeling of walking through glue.
The water flow at the moment has become cold and dead, and even has some muddy turbidity. These changes mean that they are getting closer to the underworld.
These chills are the resentment of living beings at the moment of death, and those impurities are the seven emotions of "joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, and surprise" in people's hearts, which run through everyone's life.
Only after death can one break away from the soul, follow the water system of the human world, enter the underworld, and settle down forever.
Whether it was the cold or the impurities in the water, they were all frantically consuming Qiu Ping's divine power.
Seeing that he could no longer hold on, Qiu Ping's mouth swelled quietly, and a heavenly fish food quietly appeared in his mouth.
This is the new magical use of the scale space that he discovered. As long as he uses his thoughts, he can make things in the space appear in gaps within a radius of five feet.
He swallowed it whole, and the incense power contained in the fish food quickly replenished his lack of divine power.
"Miss, I can't hold on any longer. If my divine power is exhausted, we will be pushed back to the earth." Qiu Ping felt that his divine power had almost recovered, but he shouted that he couldn't hold on anymore, and even The magical power of operation was also torn off a bit.
He is just a minor god from the ninth level. Isn't it reasonable that his divine power is not enough?
He didn't believe that this woman was not prepared at all and pinned all her hopes on herself.
Qiu Ping's divine power was slightly withdrawn, and the coldness of the outside world seeped in pervasively. Even though the woman was protected by the secret medicine of lead and mercury, fear arose in her heart.
"Just hold on."
Of course, the woman was not unprepared. Her thoughts turned, and the origami boat quickly appeared in front of her.
