There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 300, Outside Fengdu City

It was a coincidence that the road to the underworld was discovered.

Because the many forces that went out to look for a way out at that time had turned over every inch of land and tried every direction, but they were all proven to be wrong.

Then someone suddenly had an idea: maybe there was nothing wrong with the road?

Are they the ones with the problem?
In folk legends for thousands of years, the underworld is accessible to ghosts and civil servants only, and is an absolute restricted area for living people.

Therefore, only by becoming a dead person first can one find the way to the underworld.

Of course... if a person is alive and well, he will definitely not commit suicide. They come here to seek the opportunity of immortality, not to choose a grave for themselves.

It was at this time that those people remembered the pass.

This is equivalent to the ID card in ancient times!

But they are living people, and the passes they hold are naturally living passes.

If only these guideposts could be turned into dead ends.

Make a false certificate!!!
In a sense, they became "dead people".

This involves the expertise of those in the Yin sect industry who deal with the dead.

After several days of trial and error, they found a way to make false evidence.

Then... the road into the underworld appeared.

The road to the underworld has always been under their feet, but the conditions were not met before.

However, this time, in addition to the people from the Yinmen industry, there are also extraordinary people from other forces who entered the underworld. Those people from the Yinmen industry will not be kind to help others, but there is no shortage of smart people among the remaining group.

Aren’t there also ghost messengers who can enter the underworld besides the dead?

The latter are considered public officials.

They are not good at making false evidence, but they can put on false skin.

Theoretically, as long as they find the things left behind by the ghost messenger, they can naturally pretend to be a ghost messenger and enter the underworld. So they did it. After a while of searching, these people finally found some places where the ghost messengers died and found those scattered ghost messenger artifacts.

Although most of them were broken and had lost their original functions, their guess was verified. Holding the ghost's belongings during his lifetime, they could indeed find the way to the underworld.

Moreover, the place where the ghost messenger is buried is very easy to find, just like traveling. I didn’t make a guide, but others must have done it.

So just go where there are a lot of people.

Lu Yue relied on this method to follow the large group to find an open space. At this time, there were already a large number of extraordinary people on the scene who had transformed into archaeologists to excavate the land of the underworld, and from time to time they dug out broken ghost artifacts.

"I was wondering why the clothes of these ghost messengers were so tattered. It turns out that they had experienced a great war in their lifetime and all died here..."

"The underworld disappeared. What happened to these ghost officials?"

"Wait... Do you think that as we dig, the place where the ghost fell looks like a giant foot?"

"Hiss...it's true."

"It's not just here. Other places where ghost messengers fell are like this. Some have huge footprints, and some have huge handprints..."

The deeper we dig, the more astonishing the shape of the spot where the ghost fell becomes. What kind of existence could leave such a large footprint?

Lu Yue, who was digging silently on the side, frowned slightly.

This reminded him of the person in the crack in the sky.

Could it be that the tragedy of the disappearance of the underworld thousands of years ago was caused by the other party?
Lu Yue felt more and more that the water inside was very deep.

Fortunately, not long after, he also dug out a broken ghost weapon that had long lost its luster, and then he quietly left the crowd.

Because the way to Hades has been revealed.

"..."

Ahead is endless darkness, accompanied by a chill that freezes the soul.

It was as if the frozen world was revealed to the world for the first time.

Lu Yue walked alone in the darkness, with only the sounds of his own footsteps and breathing in his ears. The further he walked, the creepier he felt, as if something horrible would emerge from the darkness at any time.

Fortunately, he did not encounter any danger along the way.

However, as they went deeper, the oxygen became thinner and thinner, making people wonder if they would suffocate if they went any further. Fortunately, not long after, Lu Yue saw several figures appear in front of him. They were some extraordinary people who had entered the underworld before him.

They stopped and looked in the same direction.

In front of them was a ruin.

The ruins with jagged rocks and potholes are filled with an atmosphere of time and vicissitudes, as if carrying a heavy history that is unknown to the public.

"These pieces of rubble are so heavy. Even with my strength of the seventh level of Shenzang, I cannot move even a palm-sized piece. It is hard to imagine what kind of people could have moved them here thousands of years ago..." exclaimed a transcendent.

Another extraordinary person said in a deep voice: "The underworld disappeared, the gods disappeared, what happened thousands of years ago?"

"Wait, these rubbles were not moved, but broken!"

"What?! Break it? How is that possible?!"

The others were shocked.

"I'm not kidding. My ability can vaguely restore what happened here in the past..." A transcendent closed his eyes tightly, frowning. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said solemnly: "I saw... these rubbles were once a whole. A long time ago, it was a stone platform..."

"Stone platform?!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, someone suddenly realized and asked, "Could this be the Wangxiang Terrace?"

Lu Yue's expression froze.

According to folklore, there is a station in the underworld called Wangxiangtai. Ghosts who have not drunk Mengpo soup and still have memories of their previous lives can look at their relatives in the world of the living at Wangxiangtai and say their final farewell.

At this moment, a completely different possibility emerged in Lu Yue's mind.

Putting aside this popular belief for the moment, could this be a possibility?
Thousands of years ago, the ghost officials who had been stationed in the underworld and suppressing strange creatures for a long time were unable to return to the world of the living due to long business trips, so they built the Wangxiang Tower.

Use this as a bridge to communicate with relatives in the world of the living...

After all, the war has been going on for three months, and a letter from home is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Once this idea came into being, it grew like a weed.

The more Lu Yue thought about it, the more it made sense.

The dark place of the underworld is no different from a prison. In this desolate and lonely place, the ghost messengers and those aliens are, in a sense, in the same situation. In order to protect their hometown, these ghost messengers bid farewell to their relatives and stay here.

One year... two years... or ten years...

The Wangxiangtai became a comfort for them to relieve their homesickness.

However, at this moment, this hometown viewing platform that carries the longing has been shattered.

As if it had experienced a great war, the Wangxiangtai was destroyed.

And it is very likely that it occurred during the period when the underworld disappeared.

"Wait, look over there, there's someone over there!"

"It seems to be a ghost messenger!!!"

Someone exclaimed and pointed his finger far away.

Everyone on the side turned around, and wherever they looked, they saw horror.

After confirming that there was nothing else unusual, Lu Yue turned around and looked.

In the depths of darkness, a blurry figure stood tall. When Lu Yue and others approached cautiously, they suddenly discovered that it was actually a standing ghost.

Is this... a living person?

How could a ghost messenger who has existed for thousands of years still be alive in the world?
But Lu Yue soon discovered that this ghost was not a living person. His body was almost integrated with the surrounding stones, like a stone sculpture. His brows were furrowed and his lips were slightly open, as if he was trying his best to convey some information.

The ghost was staring into the distance.

That direction is exactly behind the Wangxiangtai, which is their hometown.

Lu Yue carefully moved forward and examined it carefully, and found that the ghost was holding some pottery fragments in his hand, on which some hieroglyphs were vaguely engraved.

Lu Yue didn’t understand the academic issues, but the security bear did.

Although the handwriting had become blurred after thousands of years, Security Bear could still barely make out a few lines.

"We have mistakenly entered the underworld... Wangxiangtai... is ruined."

"I can't find... the way home... need help..." Lu Yue felt heavy in his heart, and a sense of depression arose spontaneously.

In fact, he had already guessed that the disappearance of the underworld thousands of years ago was related to the netherworld, but he did not expect that the underworld would actually enter the netherworld.

This Wangxiang Tower has another function, which is to transmit messages to and from the real world. This ghost messenger has been doing this but has never been able to achieve his wish.

He stood here alone.

Keep delivering the message.

A few years... decades... hundreds of years...

Until it merges with the surrounding stones and becomes eternal.

Apart from this living fossil, there were no other clues on the Wangxiang Terrace. After searching in vain, the rest of the group continued on the road ahead.

Lu Yue collected this living fossil and planned to bring it back to the real world and bury it with other ghost officials. After inspecting it, he left the broken Wangxiangtai.

A few hours later, the road ahead was still dead silent.

But relatively speaking, the light is much better.

It was no longer as dark as ink, but a grayish haze.

During this period, Lu Yue also saw some sites that were not recorded in folk rumors. These sites disappeared along with the underworld thousands of years ago.

Thousands of years later, these sites reappeared.

Perhaps this time we can uncover some of the truth behind the disappearance of the underworld.

Lu Yue continued to move forward.

Not long after, a large group of people appeared in front. They were the extraordinary people who had found the road to the underworld in advance and were watching something.

As he got closer, Lu Yue saw a large number of corpses.

This time, it was not the corpse of the ghost.

Instead, there were densely packed corpses of black dogs and big red roosters.

On the distant mountains, the corpses of black dogs and roosters were scattered everywhere.

Tens...hundreds...thousands...tens of thousands...

There are so many that it is difficult to count, tens of thousands.

The carcasses of these livestock were all dried into black mummies.

All of them rolled their eyes and fell on the road to the underworld.
This scene made everyone present feel horrified and their scalps tingle.

“Why are there so many dead black dogs and big red roosters here?”

"According to folk legends, black dogs and roosters are animals that have the ability to ward off evil spirits. Ordinary ghosts can only flee when they encounter these two creatures. There are so many corpses of black dogs and roosters here. I dare not imagine what kind of creature could cause the death of these two evil-warding animals..."

"I understand. This is the evil dog ridge and golden rooster mountain station in the underworld. According to legend, people who do not like animals and like to kill will be attacked and retaliated by vicious dogs. And those roosters will pounce on them, peck at people's hearts and lungs with their iron beaks, and fan their souls with their wings..."

Everyone at the scene was talking about it, with serious looks in their eyes.

What kind of battle broke out in the underworld in the past?
The ghost messenger died thousands of years ago.

Even the evil-repelling animals of Evil Dog Ridge and Golden Rooster Mountain met with a tragic death.

Is there no one left alive? ! ! ! !

After observing for a while, Lu Yue and his group did not encounter any obstacles. When they stepped on the black dog and the corpses of roosters and passed through one mountain after another, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

At the foot of the mountain, a huge black building suddenly came into view.

It was a city, a gloomy and terrifying city.

Looking closely, one can see hieroglyphics written on the city wall.

Knowledgeable people recognized that this was the city of Fengdu.

According to folk legends, Fengdu City is the capital of the underworld. It houses various institutions such as the Hall of the King of Hell and the Hall of the Judge, and is a gathering place for ghosts.

After passing through the Land God Temple, Yellow Spring Road, Wild Ghost Village, Wangxiang Terrace, Evil Dog Ridge, and Golden Rooster Mountain, they finally arrived at their destination this time - the underworld!!!
The chance for immortality lies in this city.

"Living people... there are living people inside... they are ancient people from thousands of years ago."

Lu Yue suddenly heard someone exclaiming.

He looked into the distance and saw several ghost officers patrolling at the gate of the city wall.

Different from the deathly pale ghosts of the outside world's ghost soldiers and the stone sculptures on the Wangxiang Terrace, although these patrolling ghosts are thin and have cold faces, there is indeed no trace of ghostly aura on them.

wrong!

Lu Yue sensed it carefully and frowned slightly.

Although he did not detect any evil spirit from these ghost officials, he also did not sense any vitality that living people should have.

This situation made him a little confused.

But one thing is certain, these ghost messengers can see them.

At the same time, you can interact with them.

It is different from the projections of those strange ancient people in Yegui Village.

People began to speculate why these ghost officials were able to survive until now.

Could this be related to the chance of immortality?

If they are not immortal, why have all the other ghost officials died, but only some ghost officials are still alive in Fengdu City?
Some extraordinary people became more and more excited the more they thought about it.

I can’t wait to get into the city and find the chance to achieve immortality.

However, as more and more extraordinary people arrived at Fengdu City, they all gathered at the city gate. Some people wanted to enter the city, but were stopped by patrolling ghosts.

Then, everyone learned a piece of news.

To enter the city, one must drink the water from the well at the city gate.

This bizarre rule caused many extraordinary people to wonder.

However, considering the horrors they had witnessed at other sites in the underworld, no one acted rashly, but slowly approached the well.

The extraordinary people who can reach here have a minimum strength of the seventh level of the Divine Storage. As long as the Divine Storage in their bodies is not destroyed, it doesn’t matter even if they lose arms and legs.

But this is in the underworld after all, outside the city of Fengdu, and everything is unknown.

No one can tell whether drinking this water will cause death.

For a moment, many extraordinary people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward.

But the chance for immortality lies within the city gates.

It's really eye-catching.

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

After a stalemate, a brave man finally stood up.

His companions beside him encouraged him: "Brother, don't worry, if the water is poisonous, I will save you no matter what the cost."

"Brother, thank you very much."

"You're welcome. We are brothers who have sworn to be Guan Gong."

Encouraged by his companions, the man gritted his teeth and fetched a bucket of water.

I drank a bowl without hesitation.

Many extraordinary people at the scene stared at him intently, full of anticipation.

After a long time, the man who drank the water looked confused.

Because he didn't feel anything unusual in his body.

"How do you feel, brother?"

"Very...good...my sister-in-law is great..."

friend:"?????"

The man quickly covered his mouth and explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that last time you were not at home, my sister-in-law felt lonely, and then I..."
