Chapter 513 It’s hard to find a way back home
"Hate living people? How could you?! I like it so much! The flesh, the smoothness, the deliciousness, every ghost is salivating, especially when no living person has come in for thousands of years, even if those ghost kings are big Yes, you can almost compare a living person to a ginseng fruit." The old boatman smiled miserably, which was quite a bit of a joke, but the meaning of his words, especially the first half of the sentence, did not seem to be fake.
This is worse than hating a living person. Shi Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart and did not shy away from the old boatman. If he wanted to harm himself, he could easily do it long ago. Just seeing that he was the only ferryman on the first level of the Nine Nether World for hundreds of thousands of years. , and those true monarchs who were forced to punt boats for him if they couldn't afford the boat money, you can know that his cultivation level is definitely not low, even if it is not as good as Zuo Sheng Emperor, there should be not much difference.
Six reincarnations emerged behind him and rotated slowly. When the hell realm rotated to the top, it did not attack, but slowly merged into Shi Xuan's body. Shi Xuan's aura immediately changed, and his face was as pale as paper, cold and terrifying, gloomy. The air is thick and the chill penetrates people, like an evil ghost coming out of the ice hell. Keep away from strangers. Those who come close will freeze, and you can't tell that they are Taoist masters at all.
The old boatman chuckled and said, "Yes, as long as you don't come face to face with the Ghost King, you should be fine."
Although he used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to cover up his living aura, Shi Xuan did not dare to be careless. With his current strength, let alone the Zuo Sheng Emperor and the other ghost kings in the first layer, even if they have touched a trace of the essence of the great avenue. It is equally difficult to deal with the Three Tribulation Ghost Realm. Fortunately, the Purple Ying Sword will be able to overcome the tribulation in a short time. The success rate may be around 70%. With the help of the Little Zhou Tian Xing Dou Formation, plus Tai Chi Diagram, Five Elements Dang Gu Zhong, Heaven and Earth In the Mountain and River Map, as long as you don't encounter a ghost king, saving your life is not a big problem.
"I broke in accidentally. Does my husband know how to leave the Nine Nether World?" Shi Xuan thought of the records in the classics he had read. Those true kings would naturally leave after arriving at the Zuo Sheng Ghost City or other levels of ghost capital. There is no special record of being sent out of Jiuyou. Grandma Yu has never been here before and only knows some common sense. She also doesn’t know how to leave. She guesses that the master of each level of Jiuyou has the ability to send people away. As for half a step Jinxian comes when he wants and leaves when he wants, in a way that Shi Xuan cannot follow.
The old boatman's oars were rowing very fast, crossing the water of the Yellow Spring like arrows. He could see the dark land in the distance. He shook his head: "Haha, I thought you just read the records of the True Lord. The adventure into the Nine Nether World turned out to be a coincidence. In fact, for hundreds of thousands of years, the Nine Nether World was mysterious and hidden, but there were many monks from all over the world, and there were hundreds of true kings who came in one after another due to unexpected encounters. , but there are very few who can get out safely and leave records. Do you know the reason? "
"Is he so powerful that he can make the nine emperors fear him?" Shi Xuan guessed, but in his impression, there was a true emperor who had just survived the second decline of heavenly beings and was able to open up the world of Xiaoqian. He also came out safe and sound, and he could still Record the strange things in Jiuyouli leisurely and eloquently.
The old boatman shook his head: "No, no matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than three half-step golden immortals? Can they be stronger than six four-decline emperors who are favored by the world? There is only one reason why they can get out safely, then It’s because they have a deep background and can more or less be related to the Half-Step Golden Immortal and even the Golden Immortal Taoist, so after arriving in the Ghost City, the nine emperors sent them out as gifts because they were unwilling to make powerful enemies for no reason. "
The three half-step golden immortals are Emperor Youhai, Emperor Fengdu and Emperor Jiuzang. They are the masters of the ninth, eighth and seventh levels of the Nine Nether World respectively.
It turned out that he was fighting for the background, so he had a profound background. He was a direct descendant of the Eternal Taoist, a sect of the Jinxian Taoist ancestor, and looked after by the Half-step Jinxian. Shi Xuan thought in amusement, of course, most of this background is from the old almanac, which has expired long ago. Moreover, she was concerned about her enemies and could not speak out or rely on it. However, the disciples of the Penglai sect who were the direct descendants of Shenxiao Palace were able to use the tiger skin as a banner. Anyway, Granny Yu had arranged it carefully, and the emperor of Jiuyou World should not know about her. Having been reincarnated, Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this.
"It turns out that the guest officer also has a profound background and an extraordinary origin. If it had been 20,000 to 30,000 years earlier, he would have been sent out of the country unharmed. However, the Zuo Sheng Emperor has been missing for 23,000 years. Even if you arrive in the Zuo Sheng Ghost City, you will probably not be able to do so. Can't leave." The old boatman seemed to see what Shi Xuan was thinking, and poured cold water on him.
A dark and gloomy land appeared on both sides of the underworld, with countless densely packed ghosts stumbling forward with expressions of numbness, despair, and pain.
The dark wind roared in mid-air, blowing in waves, dissolving the spirit and melting the soul. The ghosts blown by it gradually disintegrated. Bit by bit, according to Shi Xuan's estimate, it would take about an hour for a not-so-powerful ghost to completely disappear. Dissipation is really a living torture, and once the ghost dissipates, an identical ghost will immediately rise from the dark land. The spiritual memory will still be there, and it will continue to suffer from the ghost wind and there is no way to escape.
"These are the leaders of the treacherous and evil people in all the worlds, so they are sent to the entrances of various levels of the Nine Netherworlds by the other side boats along the branches of Huangquan in various underworlds. For example, this first level is Yinfeng From the hell of hell and the hell of fire, one has to walk to the left holy ghost capital in the wind or fire in order to be liberated. Otherwise, the cycle of life and death will lead to eternal suffering. Of course, there are also those who are determined to practice this and achieve ghost daogen. "God, among the ghost kings, there is only one who has advanced to the level of a ghost born on his own in the Nine Nether World." The old boatman casually introduced him.
Shi Xuan was first extinguished by the news of Zuo Shengzhenjun's disappearance, but after hearing what the old boatman said, other hopes arose: "Can Pindao use the Bianzhou boat to leave along the Huangquan branch? These tortured people Can ghosts be cultivated without supervision? "
If it were other Great Thousand Worlds, Shi Xuan would not be so anxious to leave. In the Nine Nether World, the laws of heaven and earth are chaotic and upside down. Except for the powerful laws of life and death, the Yin and Cold laws, the others are compressed to the extreme. This is extremely detrimental to his understanding of the Yin and Yang Dao. Of course, if you have the Map of Heaven, Earth, Mountains and Rivers, and the Yin-Yang Stones in hand, this adverse effect will be minimized. However, if you wait for one or two thousand years and are contaminated by the Nine Netherworld's aura, it will leave deep hidden dangers, especially For the physical body, unless you turn to the path of ghosts.
"The boat on the other side can only carry the ghosts. If the guest officer disposes the corpse, he can sit on it. Hey, there was supervision in the past, but after Zuo Sheng Emperor disappeared, 23,000 years have passed, and those ghost soldiers and ghosts The generals have been lazy for a long time, and some have even joined Guijun's sect." The old boatman extinguished Shi Xuan's hopes again with his unique sinister but imperceptible voice.
At the same time, he reminded, "Those ghost kings are trained by treacherous and evil people. Their true nature and intentions can be imagined. They have never left Jiuyou since they started practicing. Their knowledge and knowledge are shallow. They are not as knowledgeable as Zuo Sheng Emperor and others." Big figures in the world can also calculate and verify relationships, so if a guest encounters them and exposes their identity, it will be useless if they have a deep background, so be careful. "
This is a different kind of scholar encountering soldiers. There is no reason to explain. However, what Shi Xuan cares about most is not this, but the way to leave. He tried to activate the time and space beacon gate of the Seven Immortals World blessed by Granny Yu, but Jiuyou However, the big world is wrapped and blocked by majestic power. It is impossible to locate the Seven Immortals Great World, and it is impossible to leave through the air, unless Grandma Yu personally performs the act with the strength of a half-step golden immortal.
"Do you know any other way to leave?" Shi Xuan asked desperately. If he had chosen other levels and the emperor had not disappeared, it wouldn't be so difficult. However, since he has reached the first level, unless he exits Jiuyou Da If you re-enter the world, you cannot go to other levels. If you can exit, why should Shi Xuan come in again?
The old boatman pushed his bamboo hat and started to think about it seriously, then nodded and said: "There are four ways. One is to use the Wangchuan boat that I have refined through my many years of virtue to follow the tributaries of Huangquan to other underworlds in the world. But this is my meal, but I can’t lend it to you, and the tributaries of Huangquan extend from nothingness and are often encountered by the wind of time, which is very dangerous. With your strength, guest, you can’t hide under the water like the boat on the other side. Nine deaths are a good thing.”
It turns out that this black boat was refined with countless yin virtues. No wonder it can float on the water of Huangquan Wangchuan. In the great world of Jiuyou, because of the laws of heaven and earth, yin virtues are more useful than the other four virtues.
Shi Xuan didn't speak and listened quietly to the old boatman's talk.
"The second way is to wait for the big shot you rely on to pick you up." The old boatman said seriously.
Wouldn’t it be thousands of years later? Shi Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart.
The old boatman continued: "Third, wait for the missing Zuo Sheng Emperor to return. Anyway, after the accident hundreds of thousands of years ago, the nine emperors were bound to the Nine Nether World and could not leave. I guess he is still on the first level. somewhere."
This is a bit reliable, but the time is still undetermined. Unless I look for it myself, but if I rashly intervene in something that can cause a four-declined immortal to disappear, I am afraid that he will die without resurrecting, and many ghost kings on the first level should also be looking for two Ten thousand years, Shi Xuan didn't think he could find it in just a thousand years.
"The fourth way is to sneak into the Imperial Palace deep in the Zuosheng Ghost City and see if you can find any clues to leaving this world. Although the guards inside are strong, there are often several ghost kings to restrain them, and you are not coveting the people inside. The secret treasure is very dangerous but not entirely without chance."
The old boatman slowed down the boat, because in the distance ahead, a behemoth-like city appeared. The gloomy and dark tall city walls were endless, and Shi Xuan's consciousness could not feel the end of the city wall. This city was probably hundreds of thousands of miles in radius, equivalent to a continent. Around it, the evil wind stopped, and several evil ghosts finally reached this point and fell to the ground in relief.
"Old man, what happened hundreds of thousands of years ago?" Shi Xuan felt sure that the last method was the last one, as well as the third method, so he asked about the changes he had just heard about that had not been mentioned in any classics.
The old boatman rowed leisurely and said: "Anyway, those who belong to the great world of Jiuyou and above are bound here and cannot leave this world. If the guest survives the fourth heavenly tribulation in Jiuyou and becomes a heavenly being, he will also be As an immortal in his own world, he will also be bound, so that even if the corpse is reincarnated, it will be difficult to leave. "
The Wangchuan Boat gradually stopped and moved closer to the shore. There was a gate that went straight into the sky. On the dark horizontal plaque was written "Zuo Sheng" in red as red as blood.
"Chenghui, the money for the boat is three sin-eliminating flowers deep in the caves of Yinshan Mountain. You can hand it over to me within a year, otherwise you will have to hold the boat for me for a hundred years." The old boatman smiled at Shi Xuan.
