Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 60 Underworld
Coming to that strange space,
Although He Bo was isolated from the human world, he was clearly aware that
As He Bo, he has a stronger sense of the fish swimming in the water.

As a mountain god, he also has a deeper perception of mountain animals.

Although we cannot regard the swimming fish, flying birds and walking animals as extensions of the mountains and rivers and control them at will, we can directly feel their state, whether they are lively and spirited or lifeless.

“This is the wonder of Tubo’s authority!”

"The gods of mountains and rivers are based on the reality of the human world. These completely false gods, imagined by humans, are the most magical!"

Anyway, it has no entity and is not in the human world.

Ghosts and gods like "Tu Bo" naturally belong to the "An Xunsi" category.

"If there really are ghosts, gods, and heaven, there shouldn't be a trinity like me."

Mountains and rivers have formed the foundation of the earth, and the water from rivers can reach the sky, forming a cycle.

And "Tu Bo" is closely related to people...

As a result,
As the only god in the world, He Bo can indeed "point to the heavens and the earth, and claim that he is the only one who is supreme."

"But why doesn't this black strip disappear?"

According to past experience,
When a certain progress is completed and the authority is expanded, the progress bar will automatically disappear, and the yellow law will increase instead.

But at this moment,
The black color is still there and looks even richer.

From dark black, it turned into colorful black.

"It should be useful." He Bo thought.

then,

He began to test the use of the black strip.

He Bo tried to use magic in this subspace, and then found that the yellow magic stripes did not move at all, while the black ones dropped a little.

“So this is another law!”

"I understand!"

Seeing this, He Bo gradually understood everything.

He pointed at the big cat at his feet, and the cat's originally transparent body suddenly became solid.

Then, He Bo waved his hand again, and just like the scene when heaven and earth were separated, he separated the thick chaos and revealed the basic space.

Although the dark color of the entire space was not completely removed, there was some light, which turned the deep black into a dry and tasteless gray.

These dim lights become "pillars", separating this place from up and down, left and right, front and back.

Square,
Just like a pretty standard box.

The "box" was just molded into shape. He Bo and the big cat stood outside the "box" and looked inside, but there was nothing.

"It's too empty!"

He Bo said, "There must be mountains here!"

then,

The projection of Tongdi Mountain appears in the northwest of the "box".

“And there must be a river!”

then,

The Tongdi River flows slowly out of the mountains, and the turbid river follows the divided space, connecting the mountains in the northwest with the remaining dark chaos in the southeast.

He Bo looked at the northeast and southwest sides where nothing was placed, and said:
“It would be even better if there was some place to stay!”

Crashing,

Then some simple and ancient houses were built to form a small city.

It seems,
Very similar to Tongdi.

"It's just a little smaller!"

He Bo still sighed in dissatisfaction.
But this time,

There is no change in the space.

Because his black legal code has reached its limit.

“It’s like a sandbox world!”

Compared with He Bo's body, the mountains, rivers and cities that were gradually built by the gods at the beginning of the world all seemed small and exquisite.

To those houses, the mountains are still high, the waters are still broad,
But to He Bo, the mountains were just piles of earth, and the water was just a tiny ditch two fingers wide.

As for the distance between "heaven and earth" in this space, it is based on He Bo's height.

How tall is he?

How high is this world?

He Bo stood on the edge of this gray space and felt like a Pangu, supporting the heaven and earth and overlooking the world.

Although, this "world" is only as big as a city.

And just as the huge ghost was sighing, the equally huge ferocious beast at his feet suddenly stretched out its claws towards the yellowish, turbid copper water of the underworld.

It actively broke the boundary between the black chaos and the gray space, jumping from one side to the other.

then,

He Bo watched helplessly as its size rapidly changed to match the size of the gray space as it crossed the boundary.

The big cat didn't understand.
But out of instinct, he immediately ran towards the mountains.

It dived into the jungle and immediately hid its body.

but,

In this space, what can escape He Bo's perception?

He could see and hear clearly the big cat running and shouting in the ambiguous Tongdi Mountain.

"I don't want to be the guard of the underworld, so I have to go back to the mountains. I am really a cat..."

He Bo did not catch the big cat back, but let it enjoy this "underworld" all to itself for a while, as it was the only ghost living there.

at least,

After He Bo's "creation of the world", there is no harm to ghosts in the areas illuminated by the gray light.

Who knows, it might even be able to complete the soul!
Thinking of this, He Bo simply brought Xi over.

Xi was very surprised when he first arrived, "Where is this?"

“It’s a place where ghosts can rest.”

"Ah, that's the underworld?"

Xi's expression was shocked, and then he looked around worriedly, "Will Tu Bo be here?"

If Tubo saw him, would he take him away from Hebo?

"Tu Bo is right here!" He Bo laughed at him and pointed at himself.

Then Xi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

He had long been accustomed to He Bo's "magical powers". As an ordinary ghost, he was able to survive until now, all thanks to the gods and ghosts. Now that he heard that He Bo could also serve as Tu Bo, he was not surprised at all, but just felt fortunate.

No one would even ask about the significant size difference between ghosts and gods and the "underworld".

Anyway, all this must be due to the great power of He Bo!
He just asked, "Why aren't there any ghosts here?"

"Yes, but they are not human."

He Bo pointed down the mountain.
It was not a physical entity, but the projected "Tongdi Mountain" suddenly became transparent.

A bored leopard was lying on a rock, wagging its tail, as if wondering why there was no prey in such a big mountain.

"It's so empty!" Xi exclaimed, "It would be great if someone lived in such a nice house!"

This was the first time He Bo built the "Underworld" and he did not have much magical power, so he did not make everything too elaborate.

But the houses made by ghosts and gods are much better than the leaky and rain-soaked houses that most ordinary people live in on earth.

At least the house looks solid since it's factory new.

"It's okay, you can move in!"

He Bo said to Xi, "The bottom of the Zhang River is just your temporary residence."

"This place is your eternal home!"

Xi listened to this, nodded seriously, and said with regret in his heart, "Indeed, ghosts should stay in ghost places, not wandering in the human world!"

"Then I'll stay here!"

He Bo looked at him with an expression that said, "The gods and ghosts have abandoned me, but I have no regrets." He then smiled and said, "I still need you to take care of my affairs!"

"Just moving here should be better for ghosts, and it will be more convenient for you to do whatever you want."

After all, He Bo's Mansion is the residence of ghosts and gods. Many things are arranged according to He Bo's wishes, and Xi cannot change the arrangement.

Moreover, the interior was magnificent and gold-filled. I was happy to live there, but I couldn't help feeling reserved. I didn't dare to touch here or there.

Later, when he had real land for farming, Xi basically stayed there, taking care of the soybeans and vegetables, and seemed more at ease.

Anyway, ghosts don’t get tired and don’t need to sleep. They can even plant themselves in the ground like vegetables.

But "Tongdi" was just a place for ghosts to live. He Bo simply arranged it and did not interfere too much.

he thinks,

For ghosts, the degree of freedom in this kind of underworld should be higher than that in Hebo Water Palace.

Xi then laughed happily again, "The ghosts and gods don't despise me and are willing to let me do things. This is really good news!"

"Then I will go pick a house first, and once I am settled, I will report back to the ghosts and gods."

He Bo nodded and watched Xi walk into "Tongdi".

The ghost turned into a wisp of white smoke and fell to the ground, and its size shrank to a size that could survive in the "Tongdi".

"I can't see Habaek anymore!"

After Xi landed, he turned around and wanted to say hello to He Bo.

But from the inside out, he couldn't see the huge ghost.

But Xi knew that the ghosts and gods were right there, looking down at him.

"So the observation inside and outside is one-way?" He Bo thought to himself when he heard Xi's words.

This is also good.

Otherwise, seeing the "giant" outside staring at me every day would scare me to death.

He then said to Xi, "Go check out the house first!"

So, Xi randomly chose a "tomb" for himself, walked in, and then came out again.

“There’s nothing else in here.”

He raised his head and said loudly.

Xi deliberately opened all the doors and windows so that ghosts and gods could see the scene inside the house through the small openings.

He Bo saw that except for the house itself, the room was empty.

Without any objects, the only function of the house is to shelter from wind and rain.

“This is not good!”

In the underworld, we should also pay attention to our lives!
So He Bo waited for a while, and after the laws of the underworld were restored a little, he made some furniture for Xi's house.

Very simple as well.

There were only straw mats, pottery pots, and some farming tools.

no way,
The speed at which the black law recovers is far slower than that of the yellow one.

Moreover, giving ghosts these tools also meant that they were allowed to do corresponding things in "Tongdi".

The consumption of mana is definitely not small.

"It seems that this kind of thing can't be done casually."

He Bo glanced at the black bar that had appeared at the bottom again and thought again.

……

He Bo released Xi into the "Tongdi" in the underworld for a few days, and finally confirmed some things.

First of all,

Although it looks like there are mountains and water,
But the mountains cannot be used to take stones or dig grass, and the water cannot be used for irrigation or drinking.

I can only quietly appreciate the dry mountains and turbid water.

But the same,

Ghosts don't need to eat or drink.

It’s just like sunbathing, which is acceptable but not comfortable.

Xi also said that if one stays in the underworld for too long, one cannot help but feel depressed and have rigid thinking.

He Bo secretly observed for a while and found that Xi was indeed like that. After not eating or drinking for a period of time in the underworld, his expression became numb, as if he had died again.

If you want to return to normal and not become a numb and unconscious wandering soul, it is also simple -

He Bo used his magic power to conjure up some food and fed it to the ghosts, and everything was fine.

But why would He Bo waste his magic power?

His black stripes were short and thick, not durable enough, and recovered slowly, not even as fast as rabbits mating in the spring. He Bo was reluctant to waste them.

but,

The qualification to enter the underworld must be granted by He Bo.

He can freely regulate the scope of his expenditure.

the biggest problem,

Maybe He Bo doesn't know how to make his black bars longer and more lasting.
