Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Zha felt something strange.

After all, before entering the underworld, Zheng Zha always thought that he was very far away from the existences in these myths.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Zhan Lan seemed to understand something, but then something strange appeared in his mental perception.

"Be careful, there seems to be... a wedding procession on the ground ahead?... a ghost bride?"

The three people speeding in the air immediately saw with their own eyes the wedding procession that Zhan Lan had mentioned.

At the front of the team were two figures, one black and one white, holding red festive flags.

In the air, white paper money with round shapes and square holes floated above the team in the wind.

The most horrifying thing is.

The figures holding red flags in front are said to be human figures, but if you look closely you will find that both of them are four-eyed and long-tongued beings.

Behind the two men was a white snake wearing a coffin hat, a black bull walking upright carrying a big knife, and a weasel dressed in human-like clothes.

Behind these three beings is a square sedan chair made of pear wood.

The red gauze wrapped around the top of the sedan made it difficult for anyone to see clearly inside.

However, two chains emitting white cold mist stretched out from the gauze and penetrated into the surrounding void.

Behind the sedan chair were two teams of maids holding red oil-paper umbrellas. Each of the maids had a graceful and well-proportioned figure.

She wore a mask cut out of white paper on her face, with seductive blush painted on both sides.

At the back is a little girl in mourning clothes.

And the white paper money flying all over the sky came from the hands of this little girl.

He is also the most human-like person in the entire team.

After raising her hands and waving again, the little girl seemed to have noticed something and looked up into the air.

At the same time, the team stopped, and all the beings just mentioned raised their heads and looked.

At this moment, a "ding" sound was heard between Zheng Zha's eyebrows.

The bloody figure flashed by and disappeared from the sight of all the "people" in the wedding procession.

What Zheng Zha and the others didn't realize was that just one second later.

A piece of white paper money suddenly appeared in the air where they were just now.

Falling with the wind.

It’s a pity that the paper money is just a second too late.

After fluttering in the wind for a while, the round white paper money with a square hole looked like an eye.

Looking at the direction where Zheng Zha and the others disappeared, the paper money disappeared again.

The wedding procession on the ground also marched forward again, but this time.

The two figures, one black and one white, holding red flags at the front suddenly changed direction.

In the air, Zhan Lan hugged Zheng Zha's waist.

He reached out and touched the invisible helmet on Zheng Zha's head.

Then his face changed:
"It wasn't your illusion just now. There is indeed a scar on the helmet between your eyebrows."

"The attack just now actually evaded my mental perception, and it was at such a close distance."

"The underworld is indeed dangerous."

Zheng Zha's expression was equally serious: "That team just now was probably just a side story."

"It's a pity that if I miss it this time, I don't know if I will have another chance in the future!"

Zhan Lan shook his head and said, "This time, Yingkong didn't come in, we are not fully prepared, and time doesn't allow it. Let's find Simu and Ikkiu first."

Zheng Zha sighed and maintained the supply of vampire energy without daring to slow down at all.

Zhan Lan buried his head in Zheng Zha's arms, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

She didn't see the attack clearly during the mental scan just now, but she saw the presence in the sedan chair.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Zhan Lan always had an inexplicable feeling.

It feels somehow familiar.

But Zhan Lan was certain that this was an existence he had never seen before, either now or in the past.

But this absurd feeling came and went quickly.

Soon, they saw a road suspended in the air ahead.

Souls kept flying up from below and then walked away quickly.

After seeing this scene, the three of them were confused for a moment before they understood.

Because this road is the famous Yellow Springs Road.

Zhan Lan looked at the scene in his mind and immediately put his previous discovery behind his mind and said loudly:

"Found it, Taoist Simu and Master Ikkyu are right in front!"

Hearing this, Zheng Zha and the other two bent down and set foot on this long road that grew strangely in the air.

At this moment, Zheng Zha and his companions suddenly saw two figures in their sight bumping into each other.

A figure in a Taoist robe flew to one side against common sense, and finally fell directly into the Yellow Springs Road.

Fortunately, Zhan Lan was watching.

Only then did he take action to catch the other person at the first possible moment.

Zheng Zha took the opportunity to untie the branches behind the man.

When Taoist Simu saw these three people, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected that these people would go deep into the underworld to save them.

But Simu was not stupid, he knew now was not the time to say these things, after coming to his senses he immediately said:
"Hurry up, hurry up, go save Ikkiu, otherwise once you get the Mengpo soup and cross the Naihe Bridge, it will be too late!"

After Taoist Simu finished speaking, he actually waved his hand and drew a talisman in the air, which stuck to the legs of several people. Zheng Zha and the others also sped up again.

Zhan Lan asked curiously:
"Master Simu, what happened just now? Why did I see..."

Four eyes full of annoyance said:
"It was Ikkiu who saved me. He wanted me to go out and get help first before going to save him. Although we both knew that I would probably not be able to come back, it's easier now that you're here."

"I just hope this old bald donkey walks slower."

At this time, Zheng Zha flapped his wings vigorously, looking at the underworld below the Yellow Springs Road and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Why is the underworld so empty?"

"Forget ghosts, there don't seem to be many ghost messengers?"

Although the transparent four-eyed Taoist priest is just a human soul, he now looks no different from an ordinary person.

He can even use a little bit of magic power.

In his own words, in the underworld, he is a real person.

Zheng Zha and his friends are the outliers.

Hearing Zheng Zha's question, Simu said as he hurried on his way:
"Ghost Month, Ghost Festival, those who are capable have already run away."

"Those without abilities were also escorted to the human world by the ghost messengers."

"The underworld, which is usually crowded, now seems empty."

"Otherwise Ikkiu and the others wouldn't be floating so fast!"

"hateful!!!"

Looking at the anxious look on Simu's face.

Zheng Zha and his companions were also helpless and anxious.

"What's that in front?"

Zhan Lan seemed to sense something and spoke intently towards the front.

After a while, Zheng Zha saw Zhan Lan's face suddenly turn pale.

"People, so many people!"

"No, it's a ghost..."

"Stop, stop now!"

Seeing that Taoist Simu had the same solemn expression, Zheng Zha slowly lowered his altitude.

As the distance got closer, several members of the Zhongzhou team also saw something.

At the end of the Yellow Springs Road, there is a bridge, a huge bridge.

This bridge looks like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade, and like iron but not iron.

The other side of the bridge is so far away that it seems unreal.

Looking around, the bridge head, the bridge side, the bridge, and the bottom of the bridge were all crowded with staggering people.

The people on the bridge were emitting white light, ignorant and confused.

The people at the bridgehead are of all kinds.

Some are full of confidence and stride forward.

Some, impatient, lifted their skirts and trotted away. Some, hesitant, stood still.

A little bit, reluctant to leave, looking back.

Those who are full of ambition are mostly elderly people who have died of natural causes. They have no worries and can't wait to start their next life.

Those who can’t wait are usually those who suffer unbearably in life and want to drink that bowl of soup early to free themselves and seek the afterlife.

Those who are unable to move forward are mostly those who have something to worry about.

Perhaps his parents, wife and children are still alive and he doesn't want to be reincarnated like this.

Those who are reluctant to let go are mostly infatuated men and women who are entangled in love and cannot extricate themselves.

They had promised to live and die together, but now they want to wait and see.

There was a woman holding a flower growing in the palm of her hand.

The flowers continued to bloom and then wither, and the woman looked more and more haggard.

There was a man, looking crazy, rushing into the crowd, shouting loudly.

There is one more person, no, two people.

One person is in another person's belly.

The man outside kept saying:
"I don't want to eat yours, but I'm so hungry..."

"I don't want to eat yours, but I'm so hungry..."

Such existences that cannot be described in words are everywhere.

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan were also "eye-opening" after watching it.

Then I understood a truth, that the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons that I saw in the Grudge was just a small matter.

Right now, let alone hundreds of ghosts, even if someone said there were a million ghosts here, Zheng Zha would believe it.

Because in just this short period of time, both Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan saw all kinds of life, love, hate, and emotions.

the first time.

The negativity of the world was vividly displayed before them.

Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha, both shocked, looked at each other and then at Chu Xuan.

But after one look, they all smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Because this person never had more than one expression from beginning to end.

Even his breathing, heartbeat, and pace did not change at all.

Zheng Zha came back to his senses and looked at the woman holding the flowers, and a sentence inexplicably popped up in his mind.

That is the flower that blooms in the darkness and dies before the dawn.

Because Zheng Zha had just seen this flower not long ago, it was the legendary red spider lily.

But what really shocked Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan was.

There are many things in this world, no matter how deep the hatred is, or how everlasting the love is.

Eventually, you will step onto the bridge in front of you that has no end in sight.

Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan are neither stupid nor blind, so they don’t need Taoist Simu to introduce them this time.

They also knew the name of the bridge.

It is the famous Naihe Bridge.

Zheng Zha held Zhan Lan's hand.

The two of them unlocked the first-level gene lock at the same time.

Entered a state of fighting instinct.

Because they are afraid that if they continue to watch like this, they may not be able to bear it.

Become a part of the madness.

Compared to Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, who entered the third level directly, realized a problem that was not a problem after simulating Chu Xuan.

That is, why were they able to see or walk to the Naihe Bridge?
Because even if Taoist Simu said, the ghost would be escorted by the ghost officers when he left the house.

But it's not possible to pass through unimpeded and directly reach the Naihe Bridge, one of the core buildings in the underworld, right?
After all, no matter which series of myths and legends it is, the existence before the Naihe Bridge should be allowed to reincarnate only after judgment.

And these four people are not ghosts, and have never seen the Judge, King of Hell, so how could they get here so easily?

Zheng Zha, who noticed the problem, looked at Zhan Lan. Zhan Lan, who had obviously calmed down, also thought of this problem.

The two looked at each other.

Finally, he looked at the person at the end of the team.

Chu Xuan said calmly:

"I think I should have guessed it, but let's talk about it later. Ikkiu has found it now. If we don't stop it, it might be too late."

"But... I still say that, Zheng Zha, do you want to get out of the underworld safely, or do you want to get more side plots and reward points? To revive more team members?"

Zheng Zha, who was in Chu Xuan mode, hesitated for a moment, looked around and said:

"Now that we're here, why are you still talking about this? In the world of horror movies, there is no place that is absolutely safe."

"Instead of putting your hopes on praying that you survive the next horror movie, you should try your best to complete those side plots."

"Improve your own and your teammates' strength to the point where you can face any difficulties. I think... that's what the other me or the other you did, right?"

Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan seriously: "Although I don't know what you found."

"But, you should have found the side story, right?"

Chu Xuan nodded:
"I understand……"

"You're right. I did find the side storyline, but it wasn't me who found it. It was you, or rather Li Xiao who found it."

"Were you wondering just now why we were able to arrive near the Naihe Bridge without any obstructions?"

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and others nodded in confusion.

Chu Xuan continued:

"In the underworld, there are Ghost Gate, Yellow Spring Road, Wangxiang Terrace, Dongyue Temple, Naihe Bridge, and Emperor's Palace."

"Of course, this is what I know. Maybe the underworld in this world is not connected, but it should be similar."

"After we entered Ghost Gate, we did not find the Naihe Bridge, but the Naihe Bridge found us."

Chu Xuan said, no longer keeping the secret.

He said directly: "Zheng Zha, take it out. The Mengpo soup in your ring."

After hearing this, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan remembered how they had taken advantage of the power of others to bully others in the beginning.

Zheng Zha waved his right hand.

A white porcelain bowl appeared in his hand.

Just after Zheng Zha held the bowl in his hand.

The originally crowded crowd ahead spontaneously opened up a path.

This also made Taoist Simu, who was trying to pull Ikkyu back, turn his head in astonishment.

I just happened to see Zheng Zha standing at the end of the road with a bowl of soup in his hand.

When Simu came to his senses again, the Naihe Bridge in front of him actually moved.

"It" moved a long distance closer to the direction where Zheng Zha was.

Even Ikkyu, who was tied up by several branches, came to the side of Taoist Simu.

Taoist Simu stretched out his hand and the restraint on Master Ikkyu's wrist disappeared.

Ikkyu, who regained his freedom, was not overjoyed. Instead, he clasped his hands together with a heavy face:

"Amitabha!"

“I didn’t expect that a single thought at that time would cause Fellow Daoist Zheng Zha to enter the cycle of reincarnation again.”

"I didn't kill Boruto, but Boruto died because of me!"
-
The subsequent scenes made Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan even more confused.

Because as the Naihe Bridge moved, thousands of souls avoided it, and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face Demons, the Bronze Snake and the Iron Dog also appeared one by one.

That's the time.

It was clear that everyone on the Zhongzhou team was standing still.

But these ghost messengers were getting closer and closer to the bridge.

So in the end, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan and Chu Xuan arrived in front of the bridge after a few breaths.

at the same time.

A light golden shield appeared out of nowhere, covering the entire bridgehead of Naihe Bridge and the four members of the Zhongzhou team.

Just as Chu Xuan guessed, the Lord God's indifferent voice came with the appearance of the light shield.

It echoed in the minds of the four people. (End of this chapter)
