My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 623: Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace

Li Jun's words reminded Jiang Xinghuo of the foreign players he had met before, whether it was the Celtic who died at his hands, or the several Middle Eastern people he met in the battle of the Canal Tomb.

The means they possessed were just as Li Jun had said, with most of their combat power bound to props. Once the props' abilities and functions were lost, most of their combat power would be lost, making it much easier to deal with them.

Li Jun: "Besides the Anointed One, are there other people hiding in the geological team?"

"No."

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and said, "I didn't notice."

"It seems that Long Yin is very confident in the strength of these three people, but it is not ruled out that there are other people hiding in secret, especially there is a mountain god from the secular world. He is at home in these mountains. It is not particularly difficult to conceal the aura of one or two people."

Afterwards, the two men put out the cigarettes in their hands and pretended nothing had happened and returned to the team.

Li Jun took the opportunity to play with his phone and secretly told a few people about the matter via WeChat. When the remaining three people heard the message from the anointed one, they immediately became alert.

Fortunately, these people were not ordinary people and did not show any strange expressions, as if they were completely unaware of this matter and did not even glance over to take a look.

Time flies.

2 p.m.

The sky, which was sunny the moment before, was covered by darkness the next moment. All the sunlight disappeared into the darkness, and the sun also became pitch black in an instant.

"coming!"

And at the moment when the sun was blocked by the solar eclipse, Jiang Xinghuo felt the ground shaking slightly. Rays of light gathered on the rocky beach in front of him, forming an ancient and majestic black portal, more than ten meters high, with countless hideous ghosts carved on it, twisting and roaring, as if they could struggle out at any time.

This sudden scene made the entire geological team helpless, and they all screamed in fear. The Gu Immortal flicked his fingertips lightly, and several butterflies appeared, flying in the direction of the geological team, landing on everyone, releasing a psychedelic lavender smoke.

Just a few seconds.

Everyone in the geological team fell asleep, including the anointed one. No one knew whether they were really poisoned by the insect or just pretended to be asleep to hide the truth.

"Let them get some sleep first. When they wake up, they won't have any memory of what just happened."

At this time, Li Jun had already arrived in front of the door. He pushed hard with both hands, and the door opened slightly, revealing a gap big enough for one person to pass through.

"come on!"

Li Jun waved his hand.

Jiang Xinghuo and others also walked over immediately, ignoring the people from the geological team. He was also thinking about whether he should take action now to get rid of the anointed one.

But in the end, he gave up this idea, because there were still two people hiding in secret. If he killed the anointed one now, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of the other two, and it would not be easy to deal with them then.

It’s still the same as the previous plan. After we get out of the ruins, we’ll find a way to deal with them all together.

Several people drove to the gate and looked at each other. Without much hesitation, Li Jun led the way, followed by Jiang Xinghuo. The group of five quickly entered the gate and disappeared on the rocky beach.

Just as they entered, two figures appeared outside the gate. The anointed one lying on the ground woke up from his coma and came to the two men.

"Do you think they found me?"

The Anointed One stroked his chin in thought.

"If you had been found, you would have been beaten to death by now."

The person next to him shook his head and said, "Don't worry, they may have discovered the two of us, but they should not have noticed you. The principle of darkness under the lamp is the simplest, but sometimes it is also the most effective."

Another person also agreed, "That's right, your presence is bound to cause them great harm. If we are lucky, we may be able to keep them in the ruins. Let's stop talking nonsense and go in quickly. The solar eclipse will be over soon."

The three of them also quickly entered the gate.

Silence returned to the rocky beach.

A few minutes later, the eclipse in the sky gradually faded away, and light once again enveloped the earth.

The portal filled with ferocious monsters also quietly collapsed at this moment, leaving no trace.

The geologists lying on the ground also woke up from their coma.

"Why did you fall asleep?"

The leader shook his head, looked at the other companions, and asked, "Is everyone okay?"

"fine."

"everything is normal."

"fine……"

"I feel like something is missing..."

The leader looked over following the sound and asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Zhang?"

"Captain, are we missing someone?"

The young man named Xiao Zhang looked around suspiciously.

When the team leader heard this, he immediately counted the number of people: "One, two, three... twelve, thirteen, fourteen..."

"No one is missing. Fourteen, no more, no less. We confirmed this when we came here. Don't scare yourself."

The leader was relieved when he saw that the number of people matched and there were no unfamiliar faces. He said, "It may be because the air in the mountains is fresh and we were too tired from traveling, so he suddenly relaxed and fell asleep. Don't be nervous."

After hearing what the leader said, Xiao Zhang glanced at everyone and suspected that he was too nervous, so he didn't go into it any further.

the other side.

After Jiang Xinghuo and others entered the ruins, they felt a strong sense of weightlessness. There was darkness in front of their eyes and terrifying roars lingered in their ears. They could also vaguely see some huge creatures moving behind the fog, gradually approaching them.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Li Jun shouted, and the Ghost King Fork appeared in his hand again. Black flames lingered on the fork head, and it could unleash a powerful blow at any time.

However, when those indescribable behemoths approached and saw Jiang Xinghuo and the others, they immediately retreated and disappeared behind the black mist.

"what's the situation?"

The pharmacist was carrying an iron rod, somewhat confused.

Jiang Xinghuo guessed, "It should be the guardian of the entrance to this ruins. If the person coming in is not a human, but a monster of another race, it will attack without mercy. If it is a human, it may let us in."

This idea was not just a random guess by Jiang Xinghuo, but he saw the details of the big guy through Tathagata. "Meng Po, Fengdu used the biological technology of the old secular civilization, supplemented by the biological cells of powerful ghosts and gods, combined with the folklore and legends of the old secular world, to cultivate an artificial biological ghost god, which has powerful power and means of attacking souls."

Those were monsters and demons created by Fengdu using the old civilization's biological technology. Their nature was the same as that of the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Impermanence in his body. They were not monsters and demons in the traditional sense.

Jiang Xinghuo couldn't help but feel a little envious. If he could use the God-Binding Immortal Talisman to subdue Meng Po as well, wouldn't his own strength undergo another new change?

However, that Meng Po has disappeared in the black mist. The situation here is still unclear for the time being, and chasing after her rashly may not be a good thing.

"This relic is suspected to be a cave left by Fengdu. Perhaps this is the precaution he left behind. Let's continue on our journey."

Everyone walked forward along the loess road under their feet. Except for the faint light at the end of the dirt road, there was an untouchable darkness all around. On both sides was a bottomless abyss, and there were countless demons and monsters roaring.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the Tathagata storehouse and looked down into the abysses on both sides. The information that came into his sight made him more and more interested.

Shentu Yulei, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Yama Palaces, the Judges of the Palaces...

The great gods recorded in the mythology of the underworld can basically be seen in their original forms under the abyss. However, unlike the imaginary works with solemn and majestic appearances, the original forms of these "great gods" are extremely hideous and terrifying.

"A beacon?"

Jiang Xinghuo was thoughtful. The myths about Fengdu that were circulating on Earth could be traced back to the Han Dynasty or even earlier.

But there is no smoke without fire. Even if these myths were compiled by later generations, they must have a prototype on which they could be fictionalized.

He guessed that Fengdu must have come to Earth in the past and passed down his name on Earth in the form of myths and legends.

In this way, he has left his own signposts on Earth. Even if all the signposts in the secular world are destroyed, as long as there are stories and legends about him in other places, he can return from nothingness and revive.

Otherwise, how could those "gods of the underworld" beneath the abysses on both sides be exactly the same as those recorded in mythology?
While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking, the group had already arrived at the end of the loess road, and the faint light became clear at this moment.

A huge and majestic statue of the god sits there, with his hands slightly clasped together in front of his chest, and a stone staircase extends down to the ground from the entrance.

It's just that I was too far away just now, and the light here is dim, so I couldn't see it clearly.

Now that I'm closer, I realize that the light is actually a portal leading to the depths of the ruins.

"They're coming!"

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo heard faint footsteps.

"go!"

Li Jun acted decisively without any hesitation. He jumped ahead and entered the gate after a few leaps up the stone steps.

Jiang Xinghuo and a few others followed behind and rushed in.

However, just after Jiang Xinghuo jumped into the portal, he suddenly felt a huge suction force rising from the soles of his feet. Looking down, he saw five deep black whirlpools floating in the void, sucking the five of them into different whirlpools.

"Five Paths of Reincarnation?"

The first thing Jiang Xinghuo thought of was the Taoist legend of reincarnation.

Taoism is different from Buddhism in that it emphasizes the five paths of reincarnation. The King of Fengdu is also a great god in Taoist scriptures.

These five whirlpools are within the ruins left behind in Fengdu, and it is hard not to make him think of other places.

While Jiang Xinghuo was thinking, he was already swallowed by the black vortex. He subconsciously took out a few Peach Blossom Spring Thunders. In case of any danger, he would throw them away first.

After a moment, Jiang Xinghuo felt his feet on the ground, but there was still endless fog around him, and the gray was filled with a dead silence.

Jiang Xinghuo took out the wind-gathering flag from his magic bag and shook it slightly. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up from the ground, instantly blowing away the white mist that filled the surroundings.

Three narrow ancient bluestone roads appeared before our eyes.

Like a horizontal "日" character evenly distributed.

At the end of these three ancient bluestone roads, stands an ancient and solemn palace, and there are still bottomless abysses on both sides of the ancient roads.

Jiang Xinghuo threw the Peach Blossom Spring Thunder in his hand down casually, and it exploded in mid-air. The dazzling lightning instantly illuminated the abyss.

He saw a huge black hand nailed to the cliff by a sword.

The same was true for the abyss on the other side, except that what was nailed to the cliff was a slender foot.

Although it is unknown how many years it has been nailed here, there is no sign of decay.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath.

Sha Xing Yao appeared in the palm of his hand, and he carefully stepped onto the ancient bluestone road in front of him and walked towards the solemn hall at the end.

There were no problems along the way, but when he came to the spacious area outside the hall, several figures suddenly crawled out from all directions of the hall, staring at Jiang Xinghuo with eager eyes.

It looks like a human but not a human, like an animal but not an animal, and also has the characteristics of other ghost and god races.

The small pupil appears and the Tathagatagarbha is opened.

"Little Muddy Hell Ghost (Rare). All gods who have sinned will be sent to Muddy Hell. The demons and monsters in Muddy Hell in the Five Paths of Reincarnation were originally from different races of demons and monsters. But after being sent to Muddy Hell, they were all assimilated into Muddy Hell evil ghosts and could not be freed from them for generations."

While Jiang Xinghuo was looking at the information about the Mud Plow Ghosts, the Mud Plow Ghosts also attacked him, rushing towards him from all directions at an extremely fast speed, as if they wanted to tear his body apart completely.

Jiang Xinghuo stepped back slightly, unfolding the Eight Phases World. Dazzling lightning instantly filled the entire outside of the hall.

Although it was impossible to completely tear the bodies of the mud ghosts apart, it was possible to temporarily immobilize them. Jiang Xinghuo took this opportunity to act quickly. The Evil Star Bite was like a bolt of lightning, piercing into the heads of these mud ghosts, and then ignited the Kitchen God's fire, turning them into ashes and dissipating them.

The golden-red flames and the purple-blue lightning echoed with each other, and more than a dozen mud ghosts quickly disappeared. The remaining mud ghosts did not dare to approach and ran into the hall, leaving Jiang Xinghuo alone standing there.

"Fortunately, things like Thunder Method and Kitchen God Fire Heavenly Counter..."

Jiang Xinghuo breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for the thunder magic and the Kitchen God's fire, it would take a lot of effort to kill these mud ghosts. The key point was that these beasts had skin and bones of iron and steel, their bodies were extremely hard, and coupled with their extraordinary speed and claws as sharp as knives, it would be a piece of cake to rip them open.

And this is just a small mud ghost. God knows if there is a big mud ghost or a mud ghost king?

Still have to be careful.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo also walked to the front of the hall and looked at the ancient characters on the plaque.

Although he didn't know what it said, he immediately understood its meaning at the first glance.

"Zhou Jueyin Heavenly Palace..."
