Elephant Valley.
A small slope suddenly rose up from the flat land.
Something seemed to be coming out of the small soil slope, but it didn't come out. Then the small soil slope "ran" quickly in another direction. As a result, it directly hit the cliff rock next to it, and only heard an "ouch" sound. , the cliff was suddenly covered with cracks.
The small slope turned again and slipped away in another direction.
…
"Fuck, that's so disgusting!"
Chen Luo directly punched a ghost in the body. His hands were immediately covered with green liquid. He quickly took out a piece of cloth from the storage order and wiped it clean.
Watching the ghostly ghost on the ground slowly transform into a giant wasp, Chen Luo frowned, and then looked at Zhong Kui, who was pressing a ghost in the distance, chewing the ghost's arm in his mouth, and green juice flowing from his mouth. He frowned: "Old Zhong, if it doesn't taste good, don't force it..."
"Don't get upset!"
Zhong Kui raised his head and grinned, his already ferocious face looking even more terrifying as green juice dripped from his mouth.
"My lord, it's delicious!"
As he spoke, Zhong Kui pulled out the ghost's tongue, cut it off with the iron hook on the chain, took it in his hand, and ate it bite by bite. Entity."
Zhong Kui's words didn't sound wrong at first glance, but Chen Luo reacted quickly.
Yes, the punch he just punched was also on a flesh and blood body.
Chen Luo frowned slightly. In the past, Zhong Kui looked lively when he ate ghosts, but in fact it was just an atmosphere. If he really wanted to eat, he would just take a breath and be done.
Because according to the definition of ghosts in the human world, they are formed by a little obsession that protects the spiritual light and prevents them from entering the river of life and wandering in the world. They are tangible but intangible. Therefore, low-level Confucian magic and luck-related magic can't do anything to them. Only Taoists who are proficient in the way of the soul can restrain them.
It is said that the higher the level of spiritual practice, the more one can seize the body or possess the body. However, once this is done, it will have an inseparable relationship with the body that has been taken or possessed, and it will also become a tangible thing, let alone the lower level. Confucianism and official skills, even for today's warriors, can cause harm.
Chen Luo always thought that the ghosts in the underworld were a group of things similar to "qi". They were born from the spiritual light in the long river of living beings that was thrown into the underworld and then gathered the air of the underworld.
But now it seems that is not the case.
They also have flesh and blood. Perhaps it is because the rules of the underworld are different, so they are different from the earth. But as long as they have flesh and blood, they are also living beings!
So, the underworld is also a world of living beings?
Previously, Chen Luo speculated that the ancient Buddhist sect opened a battlefield in the underworld, and besides the Buddhist sect in the Western Regions, there were other enemies. If this speculation is followed, it is very possible!
Where there are living beings, there are rivers and lakes.
"Old Zhong, continue!"
Zhong Kui quickly swallowed the ghost tongue in his hand and nodded: "My subordinate will go explore the road now."
With that said, Zhong Kui dodged and flew forward.
…
At the same time, another place in Elephant Valley.
The thirteen demon saints are getting closer and closer to the core area of Elephant Valley.
"Damn it, where did that Golden Crow go? Why haven't you caught up with me yet?" A demon clan sage snorted angrily, "When I go out, I must make it look good!"
"I think that the Golden Crow is probably afraid of death and is hiding somewhere. As I said before, the people in the Qilin Domain are unreliable!" Another great sage also said.
The Great Sage of the Tiger Clan who invited Chen Luo before frowned: "What's the use of saying these words? Didn't you agree to it in the first place?"
"According to the intelligence we pieced together, we still have two hundred miles to reach the core area. Then everyone will have to rely on their abilities."
The great sage of the wolf clan who also invited Chen Luo laughed sadly: "You don't need to argue, I have already left a backup plan in the blood oath."
"Then Jinwu didn't escort us to the designated place. Later, as long as we and others determine that Jinwu violated the oath, he will definitely suffer the backlash of the oath!"
"The oath he signed with the thirteen great saints will backfire, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the wild wilderness at all!"
Among the great sages, only Qingqiu and Junji frowned slightly, but did not speak.
Just as the great saints were transmitting messages to each other, a "buzzing" sound suddenly came from the front, and then a large swarm of ghost bees rushed toward the thirteen demon saints like a dark cloud.
"Be careful, it's a ghost from the underworld!" one of the great saints yelled.
"Third-grade ghost bees, sixteen!" The Great Sage of the Wolf Clan narrowed his eyes and instantly saw the strength of the opponent's lineup.
"Sixteen, how is that possible!" Another great sage exclaimed, but he soon sensed the oppressive momentum coming from the opposite side, and immediately gritted his teeth, "What happened to Elephant Valley!"
"Where can there be so many third-grade ghosts!"
"How do we know! Get through first!" The Great Sage of the Tiger Clan shouted, but his feet did not move.
But the ghost bee didn't stop at all, and charged towards the demon saints with murderous intent...
…
Zhong Kui walked all the way. In order to save time, he packed up the ghosts he encountered along the way and did not dine in.
The sky has eyes, and I finally have another opportunity to display my professional expertise in front of my lord.
Suddenly, a crisp and strange tune came to Zhong Kui's ears, making him stop in his tracks -
"The big ghost is sick, the second ghost is watching, the third ghost is buying medicine, and the fourth ghost is screaming."
"Five ghosts died, six ghosts carried them up, seven ghosts dug holes, and eight ghosts buried them."
"Nine ghosts sat on the ground and cried. Ten ghosts asked him why he was crying?"
"Nine ghosts say that five ghosts will never come back once they leave!"
Zhong Kui followed the sound and saw an unexpected small slope standing in the middle of the road. The sound came from the small slope.
Zhong Kui's eyes flashed with blue light, and he immediately saw the dark energy of the small earth slope rising to the sky.
"What pure Netherworld energy! It's a giant ghost in the underworld!" Zhong Kui was shocked and slowly approached the small slope. He held the chain in his hand and approached step by step.
Just when Zhong Kui was within one step of the small slope, suddenly a chubby little hand came out of the small slope!
Zhong Kui was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a petite figure jumping out of the dirt slope, shaking himself and shaking off the dust.
"Hahaha, Zhang Feng, Master Yinggou is here to arrest you..."
Zhong Kui's eyes narrowed, and he quickly threw out the chain from his hand, instantly entangling the figure. Ying Gou raised her head and looked at Zhong Kui. Suddenly she was shocked and froze on the spot.
Zhong Kui's face showed murderous intent and was extremely ferocious. Usually when ghosts see Zhong Kui like this, they will become timid before fighting, but this time, something is different...
"So cute!" Ying Gou looked straight at Zhong Kui. She didn't care that she was chained, and just floated in front of Zhong Kui. She stretched out her hand that was just below the movable arm and touched Zhong Kui's wire-like beard. From below, he scratched Zhong Kui's chin with his fingers and asked with a smile——
"The little spirit creature is so pitiful. Did he get lost with his master?"
"Why don't you come back with me?"
After saying that, Ying Gou looked down at the chains that trapped her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't need a chain to tie you up."
"Presumptuous!" Zhong Kui blushed, and suddenly punched Ying Gou. Ying Gou did not dodge, and allowed Zhong Kui's fist to hit him, floating in the air without even moving an inch.
"Do you want to play with me?" Yinggou's smile became even brighter. He suddenly turned over and hit Zhong Kui's head with his heel. There was a loud noise and Zhong Kui was hit hard into the ground.
"Ah, little spirit creature, are you okay!" Yinggou was shocked. He was about to check Zhong Kui's condition when he suddenly paused and heard a roar from behind him: "If you don't want to die, don't move!"
Ying Gou turned around and saw a man with a bow and arrow pointed at him. She naturally felt the power of the arrow. It was indeed very powerful, but it did not threaten her. It was just the rising flames that made Ying Gou fearful.
At this time, Chen Luo also had a gloomy face. He didn't know what was wrong. As soon as he ran over, he saw the little girl beating Zhong Kui!
Zhong Kui seemed miserable.
"Old Zhong, is something wrong?"
"Lord, I'm fine!" Zhong Kui called back from the pit, stood up from the pit, and floated slowly to Chen Luo's side.
Chen Luo did not relax his vigilance. The tip of his arrow locked on Ying Gou and said, "Who are you?"
Ying Gou didn't answer, just looked at the bow and arrow in Chen Luo's hand. Suddenly, his nose felt sore and he fell directly to the ground. He raised his hand and broke free from the iron chain on his body. He pinched his ears with both hands and squatted down, crying. Said——
"Auntie, Yinggou is not lazy, don't be angry!"
"Auntie, Yinggou is very good, Yinggou is catching the bad guys!"
"Auntie, Yinggou didn't come to the world on purpose. She came here after the bad guys."
While crying, one of his eyeballs suddenly fell off, and Yinggou quickly picked it up and stuffed it into his eye socket again.
Chen Luo was stunned, what kind of trick is this?
Too cute for me?
"Lord, the strength of this ghost is probably at the first level or even above!" Zhong Kui sent a message to Chen Luo, "It is not appropriate to face the enemy head-on."
Chen Luo's face was a little gloomy and he slowly backed away.
Naturally, he also noticed that the opponent's strength was extraordinary, otherwise he would not have used the True Phoenix Bow that had been resting for a long time.
"Withdraw!" Chen Luo winked at Zhong Kui. If the secret of Xianggu's reincarnation is controlled by the other party, he still needs to plan carefully.
Chen Luo took a few steps back and saw that Ying Gou was still squatting on the spot. The next moment, he directly took Zhong Kui away. Ling Bo Wei Bu's true martial arts intention was displayed, and he disappeared quickly as if he was walking on the waves.
…
"Old Zhong, check where those demon saints are and go meet them. Let's drive away the wolves and devour the tigers!" Chen Luo ordered to Zhong Kui while running.
"Do you have any companions?" A crisp voice sounded in Chen Luo's ears. Chen Luo was stunned, turned his head, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Fuck!"
Chen Luo stopped suddenly, and it turned out that Ying Gou had climbed onto his back at some point.
I don’t know how long I carried her on my back!
"Touch your head, you are not afraid!" Yinggou raised his hand and patted Chen Luo on the head, "We are in the same group. I will not hurt you. My name is Yinggou, what is your name?"
"Sir, why don't you come down first?" At first, he didn't notice the firefly climbing up his back, but now he felt like he was carrying a mountain on his back.
"Oh, I'm down." Ying Gou jumped off Chen Luo's back, looked Chen Luo up and down, and then circled around Chen Luo.
"Human race?"
Chen Luo nodded: "Human race, Lang Feixian."
"Well, that's right, we are in the same group." Ying Gou confirmed again. Then, she looked at Chen Luo again, but her eyes seemed to pass through Chen Luo, and said, "Is that cute little spiritual thing yours?"
"Can you give it to me?"
Chen Luo was surprised: "A cute little spiritual creature?"
At this time Zhong Kui's voice sounded: "Master, she is talking about me!"
Chen Luo's mouth twitched.
Can't laugh, absolutely can't laugh!
Is the aesthetics of the underworld so strange?
"I'm sorry. Although Old Zhong is a spiritual creature, he is nothing more than a mentor and a helpful friend to me, and he is like a relative. I will never give it away."
Ying Gou frowned, as if thinking about something, and then nodded: "Well, I'll bear with it."
"I'll ask you again when I can't help it anymore."
No matter how many times I ask, I get the same answer!
Chen Luo answered secretly in his heart, smiled when he heard the words, and looked at the other person carefully at this time. The woman in front of me, who calls herself Ying Gou, looks to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her figure has not yet fully grown. She is wearing a slightly primitive long dress and has some adolescent baby fat on her face. She is originally very cute. It was just a pair of eyes that were extremely bleak, with dim pupils, as if they were separated by a layer of frosted glass. There was no agility and vitality at this age, but they looked a bit like the eyes of old people who had died.
"Don't I look good!" Noticing that Chen Luo was observing her, Ying Gou immediately showed a smile, "If you don't look good, I will beat you to death even if it's a group of people!"
"Good-looking, good-looking!" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any ill intentions, Chen Luo nodded quickly and said, "Are you... from below?"
"under?"
"It's the underworld."
Speaking of this, Yingying pouted and sat directly on the ground: "Yes, from the underworld. I was so annoyed that I actually came to the earth."
"Fortunately, this place is covered by the death energy of the netherworld, otherwise I would be miserable!"
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Can you come up?"
If ghosts and ghosts could travel freely, wouldn't the world be corrupted?
"It's very difficult, very, very difficult!" Ying Gou said casually, "And if you violate the rules, you will suffer a catastrophe. Now it's the Netherworld's death energy here that helps me cover up the secret."
Chen Luo said doubtfully: "But I have seen Buddhist monks running in both directions!"
"It's different!" Ying Gou waved his hand, "They have Dharmakaya, so they can leave foundations on both sides..."
Speaking of this, Ying Gou suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Luo: "Are you trying to trick me?"
"I'm telling you, I'm so smart, you can't trick me!"
Seeing that the other party had no ill intentions, Chen Luo took out a pastry from the storage order, handed it to Ying Gou, and said with a smile: "Hey, let's have a casual chat. Didn't you say that we are in the same group? By the way, you came here because The secret of reincarnation in Elephant Valley?”
Ying Gou took the pastry and took a bite. His eyes widened immediately: "This... what is this? It's delicious!"
Chen Luo glanced at the cake Zhuiyue made for him and sighed: "Have you ever heard of flat peach?"
"It takes three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and three thousand years to mature! It takes nine thousand years to form a ripe peach."
"There are only three peach trees like this in the entire world."
"This pastry is made of peaches! It's called Nine Thousand Years Fairy Peach Cake. It's okay. You can eat it. I'll still have it here after you finish it!"
Ying Gou looked down at the palm-sized piece of pastry in her hand. She had already taken a bite from it. She felt so distressed that she couldn't express it. She could only pick it up and take a lick. Then she looked at Chen Luo and said, "If you die, Now that the spiritual light has not dissipated and entered the underworld, I’ll treat you to a feast!”
"There is a kind of fish in the underworld. It lays eggs every three thousand years, wakes up every three thousand years, and opens its eyes every three thousand years. It takes nine thousand years to have two fish eyes to eat. I will get one for you then!"
"There's a chance, there's a chance." Chen Luo said perfunctorily and continued to talk, "Are you here for the secret of reincarnation in Xianggu? If so, I can help you."
Ying Gou licked the pastry again and said doubtfully: "What's the secret of reincarnation? I'm here to catch a blood sea monster! By the way, have you seen it? That monster has an upper body like a bee and an octopus-like upper body." My lower body is disgusting."
"But..." Yinggou seemed to have thought of something, "Chop off the lower body, brush some sauce, and bake it on the iron plate. It will sizzle with oil and smoke. It's delicious..."
As he spoke, saliva suddenly dripped from Yinggou's mouth.
Chen Luo was stunned: "Sea of blood?"
New map of Hades?
Yinggou licked the cake again and nodded: "Yes, the sea of blood. In the underworld, there is..." At this point, Yinggou suddenly frowned, raised his head and looked at the sky, and then pouted, " Well, if you don’t say it, don’t say it.”
"What's wrong?" Chen Luo asked.
"Well, there is a fierce old man in the sky..." Yinggou pointed at the sky and said, "He won't let me talk about the underworld. If I do, he will beat me."
"I can't beat him anyway."
"Ah?" Chen Luo also raised his head and looked at the sky, but at this time, Xianggu was covered by the air of the underworld, and the sky could not be seen anywhere.
"Old man? Could it be Heavenly Dao?" Chen Luo thought in his mind, and then asked, "Then how did that monster come to the earth?"
Ying Gou's brows furrowed together, and he seemed to have thought deeply before he said, "That Zhang Feng doesn't have the strength to break through the world!"
"It was the force of rules that sucked her up. I also came up along with that force of rules."
"Auntie said that the rule that connects the earth and the underworld is reincarnation, but this rule seems to have dissipated before it was established. How can it be here?"
After Ying Gou finished speaking, he took a small bite of the pastry with great cruelty.
When Chen Luo heard Ying Gou's answer, he thought for a moment and probably guessed the whole story——
At the earliest, the rules of reincarnation in Elephant Valley should have been written by the master of Buddhism. Judging from the historical description, it was not the first generation of Buddha but also the first three generations.
It was not until the last hundred years that the Buddhists in the Western Regions discovered that the Xiang Clan were actually spies of ancient Buddhism and Confucianism. Then they found an opportunity and conspired with the Wolf Clan to destroy the Elephant Clan. However, for some reason, Buddhism did not take away this rule of reincarnation.
Next, I don’t know what happened. There was a Bodhisattva in the Southern Wilderness who planned the rules of reincarnation, but something went wrong, causing the power of the rules to go berserk. This had the effect of reverse reversal, sucking in a lot of Nether Death Qi and energy from the underworld. The ghosts of the underworld attracted the attention of the Azure Dragon Emperor.
The Zhang Feng that Ying Gou was chasing must have also been sucked into the Elephant Valley, so Ying Gou also followed this rampant power of rules and came to the Elephant Valley.
"Now the power of the rules is in Zhang Feng's hands." Ying Gou sniffed and said, "This ghostly death aura is full of her scent."
Chen Luo nodded: "So you came to the world this time to capture Zhang Feng? What about the rules of reincarnation? Do you want to take them away too?"
"You can't bring it back to the underworld, or you'll be in trouble." Ying Gou hesitated, carefully put the pastry into his pocket, and said, "Suddenly bringing back a formed rule will make..." At this point, Ying Gou said Gou looked up again, swallowed the words on his lips again, and just shook his head, "It won't work anyway."
"However, you can find a way to find a super-grade in the world and refine it into a treasure of rules. Although it is difficult, it should be no problem."
The treasure of rules!
Chen Luo secretly wrote down this statement. It seems that the secret of Xianggu is the treasure of rules with the power of reincarnation.
Ying Gou stood up and walked to Chen Luo: "Do me a favor."
"you say!"
Ying Gou nodded and said, "Zhang Feng will definitely run away if he notices my arrival."
"You cover me!"
"As long as I catch Zhang Feng, you deserve half of the credit. When you die and enter the underworld and still have your spiritual power, I will introduce Sister Nv Ba to you!"
As soon as Chen Luo opened his mouth, Ying Gou nodded: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Saying that, Ying Gou lay directly on Chen Luo's back, facing in one direction: "Release the breath, cover up the corpse energy on my body, and move forward in this direction..."
