What does the underworld look like? Many people hear it, but few see it. People often say that death is like a lamp going out. After death, the body turns into dust and returns to the earth, and the soul descends to the Nine Nethers and reincarnates. And the realm of Huangquan is Netherworld.
In fact, this is not the case. Under the Underworld and even the Eighteen Realms of Hell, they still belong to the human realm. People's birth, old age, illness and death have always been in the same world.
The Nether World is another system independent of the human world. It has its own history and mythology, and has its own cultivation method that belongs to the Nether Clan. Just like the cultivation realm of the human race, the Nether Clan's cultivation path also has strict levels.
Just like the human world, people from the Nether Clan are not born with great power. The lowest level of the underworld is equivalent to the body training in the human world, but it is physically stronger than the ordinary underworld.
After cultivating the power of the underworld, they can advance to become underworld spirits, which is when they begin their journey of cultivation. From there on, Mingjiang, Mingsha, Minghun... go up step by step until they reach the realm of the afterlife, and then they can escape from the shackles of the six realms and go to a higher plane.
In dreams, sometimes the body turns into a crane, and countless grasses in the world turn into fireflies. How many nights, Qing Ming would subtly convey to Qingya the underworld he had never met through dreams. Whenever he woke up at midnight, Qingya could not tell where he was. That ancient desolate world seemed to have always been there. The summoner himself.
After falling for who knows how long, the two finally stopped. The moment your toes stepped onto the ground, you felt a feeling between water and land, unusually soft, yet very solid.
Liu Bailu pulled out a sea-moon green glass hairpin combed between her hair. As soon as she let go, the hairpin floated above the two of them like a beam of moonlight, illuminating the surrounding space.
Qingya looked down and saw that he was stepping on a chaotic land like dark clouds. Every step he took was like stepping on a ball of cotton wool. Through a cloudy sight, Qingya could only see a world of mottled colors and bizarre colors beneath the chaos.
Stretching out his hand, what stood in front of Qingya was an invisible high wall. Pushing through the thick confusion, Qingya saw his own face on the wall.
"Let's go, we can get out by following the light."
The hairpin suspended above flashed with blue fluorescence like breathing, opening up a quiet path in the space filled with dense fog. Liu Bailu took Qingya's right hand, and the two of them stepped forward. The back ground slowly moved forward with the fluorescence.
The sound of soft footsteps sounded in the quiet space. Qingya couldn't help but walk two steps faster and came to Liu Bailu's side, walking side by side with her.
They haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Qingya seems to be half a head taller than his master. When he first started a few years ago, he was only as high as her chin. He was like a little follower behind her. It's still before my eyes, but I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the blink of an eye.
Sometimes, can I stand in front of Master and protect her with my own body?
At such a close distance, Qingya's nose was filled with the familiar cold fragrance of the master. No flower in the world could compete with it.
While following the master's footsteps, Qingya couldn't help but look at her quietly from the corner of his eye. Because he had pulled out the hairpin, Liu Bailu's braided hair had come apart, leaving only a pear-white hairband. , still tied to the hair bundle behind her, hanging down to her slender waist among the inky waterfalls.
"Why are you secretly watching me? After half a year of training down the mountain, why am I getting smaller and smaller?"
How could he hide his little actions in front of her?
"Master once said that in the future, when I see more people and things in the world, I won't think that Master's appearance is so outstanding. But the disciple thinks that even in Chang'an, the most prosperous place in the world, There is no one in the city who can compare with Master."
Liu Bailu's figure paused briefly, and Qingya seemed to hear her chuckle.
"The breadth of this world is far beyond your imagination. There are countless ethnic groups living deep in the sky, under the ocean, and on the other side of the desert. Even outside our world, the elves on another continent have always been known for their beauty. , Not to mention the goddess above the nine heavens, those witches sealed in the demon clan at the end of the world, when you travel all over the world, can you still say this to me?"
Seeing Qingya's silence, Liu Bailu's smile deepened.
"The ancients often said, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. The world is so big, even if you just want to see more beauties with different styles, you should practice hard."
Unexpectedly, Liu Bailu would use such a reason to urge him to practice, but recalling the time when he went down the mountain, Qingya had to agree that what his master said was very reasonable.
As carefree as a mountain spirit, as breathtaking as the flowers of the other shore, as bright as the sunset over the autumn pond, as pure as the laurel at sunset, as bright as the violet gem Tana Shushu, as mysterious as the ocean. And the alluring Taryunas is also his Qingxue... Along the way, Qingya has indeed met many beautiful women.
There was also the king of the dragon clan ten thousand years ago. Although Qingya had never seen her in human form, her appearance must have been extremely beautiful.
As if sensing what was in his heart, Di Xi gradually appeared above Qing Ming, and then lay down on Qing Ya's shoulders skillfully.
"Senior Di Xi, go back quickly and don't let Master find out."
Since living in Qing Ming, Di Xi and Qing Ya have been able to communicate directly through consciousness. Her sudden appearance at this time made Qing Ya panic.
"Don't worry, I used my mind shield, she can't see me. I said, is this the master you miss day and night? She is indeed the most beautiful woman in the world. I'm afraid before I can gather my body again, this world There cannot be a more beautiful woman than her."
"How can I miss you day and night..."
"Stop pretending, I know exactly what you are thinking about writing all day long. Hum, even though you look so handsome, you are so deep inside..., eh? How should I put it in human terms. "
"Qingya, are there dragons around you?"
At this time, Liu Bailu seemed to have seen through Di Xi's mental shield.
"How is this possible? No one has ever been able to see through my inner shield. This little girl is only in her twenties at best. How can she be so capable? Please help me ask."
Di Xi refused to show up, so Qingya had no choice but to raise her doubts to Liu Bailu on her behalf.
"Master, can you see anyone else around me?"
Liu Bailu did not answer directly, but continued to ask: "It seems that you have indeed experienced a lot along the way. Could it be that the person beside you is the king of the dragon clan from ten thousand years ago?"
This time, Di Xi couldn't hide anymore, and suddenly appeared, her snow-white dragon body was crystal clear, and her illusory golden eyes were facing Liu Bailu's eyes.
"It's really you. A few years ago, I walked along the waves of the East China Sea, deep into the heart of the sea, and accidentally found the legendary Yingzhou Fairy Mountain.
But when I climbed to the Fairy Mountain, there were no traces of any living things on the mountain, but I saw the past in the ruins of the Dragon Palace.
The purple sea of clouds outside the Immortal Mountain is rumored to be dyed with your blood. Just now, I smelled the same smell again next to Qingya. "
Liu Bailu stretched out her right hand and let Di Xi's body wrap around her arm. She could feel that the giant dragon in front of her had no ill intentions towards her.
"How do they describe me?"
Di Xi asked curiously.
"According to the records on the murals in the Dragon Palace, you are a tyrant who goes around plundering treasures, robbing beautiful men of all races, burning, killing and robbing. That's why they united to overthrow your rule."
"Tch, boring."
Di Xi had already expected such a description, and she didn't even bother to explain.
"But, after seeing you today, I believe you are not like this. Because anyone who can stay with my apprentice will not be a bad person."
The reason given by Liu Bailu was far-fetched but irrefutable, but Di Xi could accept it happily.
"Nowadays, the blood of the dragon clan has exhausted several generations of hard work and cannot return to Yingzhou, but you can actually climb the fairy mountain in a human body. Maybe except for a few people who came to the Dragon Cave, you are the only one in this world who knows my existence. He's a person. With a powerful protector like you, his future achievements will be extraordinary."
After saying that, Di Xi also left Liu Bailu's arm and got into Qing Ming again.
"It seems that even if I don't show up, as long as she is here, you will be fine."
While he was talking, the hairpin stopped and fell into Liu Bailu's hand again.
"Okay, we're here."
Liu Bailu held it and pointed it at the invisible wall in front of the two of them. A mysterious mirror with ripples appeared on the wall. Through the mirror, Qingya saw a corner of another world for the first time.
Desolation, even in the desert covered by yellow sand, there are scattered oases. But here at Qingya, you can see gray-brown scorched earth stretching for thousands of miles. You can't find any even if you search around. No sign of life, not even a green leaf, could be seen.
There were no sun, moon or stars hanging in the sky, only the deep purple halo of light falling through the sky illuminated the whole world. Under the sky are dark clouds that will never dissipate. Swept by strong winds, the dark clouds form huge cloud whirlpools, in which continuously aroused thunder is generated, and then runs along the clouds in all directions in the sky.
Here is the junction between the underworld and the human world, a land without shore.
Liu Bailu braided her hair again and put the Haiyue green glass hairpin into her hair again. In a hurry, her braided hair was far less delicate than before, and a few strands of hair were still hanging on the side of her face. But Qingya still looks so moving.
"Let's go through this world and we can go home."
