Chapter 194: Journey to the Underworld 2
At first, those ghost messengers would look at Lu Li with shining eyes.
It seemed that Lu Li had the aura of a living person.
When I saw Bai Shisan beside him, I realized that he was introduced.
After that, both sides greeted each other and went about their respective business.
Bai Shisan led Lu Li and walked forward along the Yellow Springs Road in front of them.
There was fog on both sides of Huangquan Road, and patches of bright red flowers were blooming beautifully.
Bring a little life to this place full of death.
"This must be the red spider lily. It is said that the flowers and leaves of this flower will never see each other again, and they will miss and cherish each other forever."
Bai Shisan laughed after hearing this and said, "Master Lu also knows this, yes this is the red spider lily, and we are now walking on the Yellow Spring Road.
In other words, the spiritual energy in the world is now seriously depleted.
In the past, your Maoshan predecessors also often came to the underworld.
But in the past three hundred years, you are the first one to come down in the flesh.
The underworld is actually not as mysterious and terrifying as outsiders imagine. "
I didn’t expect that Maoshan was quite prosperous in the past, but later it might have been damaged by the Liu Ji incident.
"It may be related to the fact that the underworld is the place of reincarnation. Those who have done evil are afraid in their hearts, so of course they have to describe this place as more terrifying."
Bai Shisan said with a grin, "This is human nature, and our underworld is also keeping up with the times."
Lu Li laughed after hearing this.
"Brother Bai also knows the phrase 'keeping pace with the times'."
"I often go to the mortal world to do errands, so how could I not know about those new things?
Nowadays, many people in the underworld live in big villas.
When you see it later, you will know that the conditions below are better than those above."
Bai Shisan brought Lu Li to the end of Huangquan Road.
This is the Forgotten River that people often talk about.
The river water here is yellow and filled with struggling people.
Seeing that there were living people on the shore, they all scrambled to crawl over here.
But the river water seemed to have a suction force.
No matter how hard they tried, they could not break free and could only drift with the river.
Lu Li had read an ancient book and knew that there were evil ghosts and lonely ghosts that could not be reincarnated.
Some people jump into it willingly.
Bai Shisan pointed at a woman floating in the river and said:
"Did you see that woman? She just couldn't forget that love, and she wanted to see the man she loved most in her next life.
If you choose not to drink Meng Po soup, the price is to jump into the Wangchuan River and endure for a thousand years before you can be reincarnated.
You know, during this thousand years, perhaps the love she is waiting for will pass by the Naihe Bridge.
But she could see the man, but the man could not see her.
She could only watch her beloved drink the bowl of Meng Po soup again and again.
If she could endure this thousand years of suffering and still not forget this memory.
Then she can return to the world of the living to find the person she loves most in this life."
Lu Li was greatly shocked.
How deep the obsession must be to endure suffering for thousands of years without forgetting it.
Even after enduring a thousand years of suffering, is the person she loves still the same person after multiple reincarnations?
"This kind of thing is not uncommon in the underworld."
Bai Shisan shook his head and sighed.
The two walked onto the Naihe Bridge and saw the ghost begging under the bridge.
Lu Li felt indifferent instead.
Cause and effect, cause and effect, where there is a cause there must be an effect.
The underworld is where the fruit is.
When everyone makes a choice, heaven has already arranged everything that happens next.
After crossing the Naihe Bridge, we arrived at the Mengpo Pavilion, where an old woman was serving bowls of soup to the passing souls.
Lu Li saw that there was no fluctuation of magical power on Meng Po's body, and she was no different from those old ladies in the world of the living.
Then I thought, this is Meng Po, a deity.
Lu Li didn't believe that this was just an ordinary old woman and bowed respectfully.
So he and Bai Shisan left.
Lu Li did not go to see the Three Lives Stone because he was afraid of seeing the unforgettable memories of his previous life.
I was also afraid that the secret that I was not from this world would be exposed.
Who knows how many powerful people are staring at him at this moment.
"Oh, Master Lu, you can walk around freely in other places in the underworld, but there is one place you must not go.
Of course you can't get in even if you go there, but I still have to remind you just in case."
Hearing Bai Shisan's words, Lu Li became curious.
"Brother Bai, please speak."
Bai Shisan said with a serious expression: "There are nine springs in the underworld, namely Fengquan, Yaquan, Huangquan, Hanquan, Yinquan, Youquan, Xiaquan, Kuquan and Mingquan. You should have known about these in Maoshan."
Lu Li nodded to show that he understood.
“There is actually a place called Jiuyou under the Jiuquan, which is the legendary nineteenth level of hell.
Heaven and Hell extract the souls of those who have committed unforgivable sins and imprison them here.
There are many characters from ancient times, and even sinful immortals.
Furthermore, you are allowed to enter but not leave the Nine Netherworld, so Taoist Lu, please do not get close."
"Nineteenth level of hell! Brother Bai, don't worry, I will definitely pay attention."
It sounds like it's not a good place, and the souls of immortals are imprisoned there.
As a young Taoist priest in the Jindan stage, I am not even enough to fill the gaps in other people's teeth if I go in.
Soon they arrived at a huge city.
Lu Li took out the sign and entered the city gate smoothly.
I found that the place was similar to the streets in the human world, with restaurants as well, but also more houses of various kinds.
There are also stalls selling goods on the streets.
What is different from the world of the living is that what is sold here are house certificates and maids and servants.
There are also many strange little gadgets
Lu Li knew at first glance that it was something burned in the Yang world for his relatives.
Apparently, the underworld does not prohibit trading these things.
"Master Lu, the Ten Kings of Hell have their offices in this city. What do you want to do? Do you need my help?"
Bai Shisan asked.
"Brother Bai, do you know about ambergris?"
Lu Li did not hide anything and asked directly.
"Ambergris! Is it the magical herb that has special effects because of ambergris?"
"Yes, I need this herb to make medicine, but I heard that this herb can only be found in the underworld."
After hearing this, Bai Shisan said that only high-level officials in the underworld could access this kind of grass because it was too rare.
“It seems that I can’t help Taoist Lu this time, but you can look for the seniors who came down from Maoshan.
Someone among them must know how to find it.”
Lu Li had the same idea, after all, he was unfamiliar with the underworld.
Because Bai Shisan still had a mission to perform, he had to say goodbye to Lu Li halfway.
Lu Li handed him a few ghost tickets as a thank you, but Bai Shisan didn't want to accept them.
But Lu Li still gave it to him.
We can't let them make a wasted trip. Friendship is friendship, but they are not our subordinates.
After seeing Bai Shisan off, Lu Li wandered around the city alone.
Everyone in this ghost town in the underworld looks like a ghost when they died. If an ordinary person came and saw it, he would probably be scared to death.
But Lu Li read it with great interest.
From time to time, I would guess how this person or that person died.
Before I knew it, I arrived at a palace.
The palace was magnificent, with strict guards at the entrance. From time to time, ghosts were dragged out howling.
"Qifei Palace!"
After seeing the name of the palace, Lu Li knew that this was the office of the ninth king of the Ten Palaces of Hell, the King of Equality.
The full name of this King of Equality is the Supreme and Righteous King of Equality, the Lord of the Nine Palaces of the Underworld, who is also known as the Supreme and Righteous King of Equality.
He is in charge of the Avici Hell, one of the eighteen levels of hell, and is also in charge of sixteen smaller hells.
In short, it is responsible for torturing people.
Lu Li felt that it would be better to stay away from the place where such powerful people from the underworld were, and just turned around to leave.
Go and contact the Maoshan ancestors.
Then someone called him.
"But Taoist Master Lu from Maoshan, our master wants to see you."
