Chu Wu Ji was just outside the light of the torch. The soldiers' vision seemed to stop within the range of the fire. They could not see anything outside the fire, and they were completely unaware of the people passing by Chu Wu Ji.
"Where is the entrance?" Chu Wuzhi tried to ask the female tour guide for directions.
But this put Bai Kongque in a difficult position. She had never been to the underground city-state of Jingjue Kingdom, so how could she know the route?
She can only follow conventional thinking:
"Let's walk around the palace and explore the areas reserved for the Queen. Maybe it's somewhere like that."
Having said that, is there any place in the entire Jingjue Kingdom that is not the queen’s exclusive territory?
The three of them entered the main hall of the corridor from the courtyard, followed the layout of the braziers, and walked through several rooms.
Brand new.
The doors and windows were closed, and the air was turbid. It must have been unventilated for several months.
Chu Wuji covered his nose. The moment he opened the door, he suspected that he was here to help with vacuuming.
"This place doesn't look like it can accommodate a large number of troops. There aren't enough servants in the palace either. It seems there really is an underground city-state, and the people are housed elsewhere."
Mrs. Jiang followed Chu Wuzhi closely, and her eyes were basically attracted by the braziers along the way.
The brazier was filled with skulls of various animals, including human skulls. The fontanelle (the center of the top of the head) was chiseled open and used as a hole for lighting.
I'm afraid even bandits don't have such a cruel habit.
Mrs. Jiang was very afraid that these skulls would suddenly come to life, so she followed Chu Wuzhi in quick steps, almost sticking to him. The beautiful woman walked on tiptoe with quick steps, and her juicy soft balls trembled and bounced.
It's so moist that you can shake out water.
( .people.)
Chu Wuji noticed her reaction and was hesitating whether to ask Goddess Tianhu to come "up" for a while. This environment was indeed not very friendly to Mrs. Jiang.
"Hmm? There is a magic circle set up here that can draw out poison gas. It seems that this small country does have something." said the mother in black clothes.
In several empty rooms, the turbid air actually contains poisonous gas. As long as you step in, it is like falling into a can of poison gas.
When Chu Wuji just opened the door, a deep poison gas passed through his lungs, but his physique was too strong, and this level of poison gas was burned away before it could penetrate.
Even if it invades his body, we have to consider the power of his qi and blood. The qi and blood cultivated by the Yuanshen Cave Mansion have gradually transmitted the breath of the Qilin to his limbs and bones, making him immune to all poisons.
Aunt Green Snake played stealth with the team for a while, and she became a little impatient. She said:
"It'll take forever to find such a huge palace. Let's just show up and let the soldiers capture us in front of the Queen of Jingjue!"
It's a bit messy, but it's doable.
What if the entrance to the secret passage is hidden in some secret compartment and requires finding a mechanism to open it, then they are wasting their time now.
Getting caught is a good way out. If they make some noise, the Queen of Jingjue will show up to see them sooner or later.
Seeing that they were all plotting evil intentions, the Sky Fox Goddess said:
"Then I must bring Yu Yang out and use him as a shield. It's really a bunch of well-known monks sneaking around here like thieves."
The magical little fox appeared and released You Yuyang.
Yu Yang's soul was tall and burly, with his head almost reaching the ceiling. He looked around in a daze, and his eyes suddenly fixed in a certain direction.
Because of her previous guess, Bai Kongque paid more attention to You Yuyang. She immediately noticed something unusual and said:
"This soul is staring at a certain place. Did it discover something?"
The Fox Goddess did not allow her companions to discuss it slowly, but directly asked You Yuyang to lead the way.
It seemed that Yu Yang did not know the way to the palace. He just captured the direction of the breath and went straight through the wall and headed towards there.
Take the shortest route.
White Peacock and Madam Jiang each performed the "Wall-Passing Technique" to follow the soul. This was a low-level little spell that couldn't even be considered basic.
Chu Wuji stood in front of the wall in a daze. How could he have such a skill?
"Why don't you leave? You've fallen behind!" Aunt Green Snake asked knowingly. Her snake mouth couldn't smile, but her snake eyes were already brewing a smile.
She was just waiting for Chu Wuji to ask her for help.
Chu Wuji took out the Fallen Dragon Ancient Ingot Knife, and the knife flashed again and again. He cut out a "door", the cut surface was smooth, and there was not much noise.
He cleverly pried the "door" out, and after walking in, he did not forget to close the door elegantly.
"It's just a matter of going through a wall."
"Look at what I can do!" Aunt Green Snake was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She stopped making things difficult for him and cast a spell to help him catch up with the soul quickly.
......
With Yu Yang's soul, he came to another remote hall.
The torches here are dark green, like the atmosphere lights of the underworld. The green flames will automatically burn without wind, and sometimes when they are about to go out, the wicks will suddenly jump into flames again.
In the middle of the hall, an old woman was taking attendance. In front of her was a long line of people, all of whom were from the Jingjue Kingdom.
The people were waiting anxiously, hoping that it would be their turn soon.
"Mamaiti, you have diligently served under the Queen's rule for forty years with no record of wrongdoing. You are allowed to spend the rest of your life in the Holy Land and enjoy your old age in peace!"
After the old woman finished speaking, she sent over a bowl of soup, which she called "Marrow Cleansing Soup". It was a soup to cleanse the dirty body, otherwise one could not set foot on the holy land.
The common people named "Maimaiti" drank it hurriedly, put their mouths on the rim of the bowl and drank while walking, for fear that they would lose their qualification if they drank even a drop less.
Chu Wuji watched the commoner run into a gate and was very curious:
"Why does it look like a scene from drinking Meng Po soup? Did the Jingjue Kingdom use the underworld as its territory?"
The Fox Goddess said:
"Just take a look. Anyway, there is Yu Yang's spirit, and he has expressed the desire to enter there. I think it should be the old land of the Yu clan."
Chu Wuji no longer watched the people queuing up. It was enough for him to just watch one person.
He appeared directly in the green hall and walked towards the door.
The old woman was startled at first, then she raised her voice and shouted, "There's a trespasser!"
Her voice was like some kind of command, and soon the ground began to shake violently. It was the sound of footsteps, the sound of a large number of footsteps!
Groups of soldiers ran out from behind the gate one after another.
"There are quite a lot of people here. The rumors the National Master said are indeed true." Chu Wuzhi nodded and gave a thumbs up.
But he had no intention of waiting for the other side to gather. It was a waste of time. The strength of these soldiers was not good enough for him.
Perhaps the power of the cultivators in the entire Jingjue Kingdom is concentrated in the Jingjue Queen, and these soldiers and guards have no cultivation at all.
He simply mobilized Qiongqi's ability to control the wind, and those soldiers immediately fell to the ground in a mass, pinned to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move.
"Let's go in and take a look, and wait for the Queen of Jingjue to come find us."
Chu Wuzhi embraced Madam Jiang's plump and delicate body and held her steadily in his arms, so Bai Kongque no longer needed his protection.
With Yu Yang leading the way, Chu Wuzhi and Bai Kongque followed closely behind, jumped up, and flew into the gate.
Chapter 453 The Queen was defeated miserably when they met
Behind the gate was a long staircase leading downwards, with no end in sight. However, Chu Wuzhi and the others reached the bottom in one flight.
While flying, Chu Wuzhi also met the commoner Mamtim. After being blessed with the "Marrow Cleansing Soup", his leg strength was improved. He flew for a long time without feeling tired, and even did not breathe.
"Hey, he's still running. Let me go check it out for you first."
Chu Wuji greeted him warmly and friendly, then disappeared from Mamtim's sight and rushed into the space at the end.
When you enter the legendary underground Jingjue Kingdom, your first feeling is that of the underworld.
The whole world is gray, which does not seem to be caused by cloudy days. It is simply the color of this world, different from the outside world.
But compared to the desert and Gobi outside, this place is indeed beautiful with mountains and rivers.
There are the Santu River, the Naihe Bridge, the red spider lily... Isn't it a great place with mountains and water!
However, these scenic spots were not marked with names, so Chu Wuji was just guessing. He asked curiously:
"Only this red spider lily is bright red. Is this really the underworld?"
Bai Sujin couldn't answer. Her experience was a little insufficient at this moment. If there was an immortal elder here, he would definitely be able to explain it in detail.
Xuan Yi couldn't answer either, so she corrected her son's words:
"My eyes are red too."
Chu Wuji was in a serious mood. When he heard Xuan Yi's mother say this out of the blue, he couldn't help but smile. He touched her graceful snake body in his sleeve and found her scales were smooth and warm.
The Fox Goddess observed her surroundings and said:
“It should be the underworld in the Western Regions, but it looks deserted and is used as a Taoist temple by the Queen of Jingjue.
Now, the so-called underworld is similar to the holy land of immortals, but it is much smaller and filled with a strong yin energy, making this small world gray and foggy~"
The white peacock was also amazed. The beautiful imperial teacher, who was calm and composed, had a beautiful face that was rarely moved.
Her gaze returned to You Yuyang again. After entering this place, this guy flew towards somewhere with a clear goal.
"Where is Yu Yang planning to go? He doesn't seem to be wandering around randomly; he seems to be very familiar with this place."
Chu Wu Ji heard this and observed for a while, and found that it was true!
He blinked, and based on the previous guess of the Sky Fox Goddess, he came up with a new nesting doll guess:
"Then before it became the underworld, perhaps this place was the territory of the Yu clan?"
The topic had gone on for too long, and Bai Sujin and the others were unable to express their opinions.
The Fox Goddess pondered for a moment and agreed with Chu Wuji's inference:
"It's possible that a small world like this, isolated from the outside world, is most likely to be recycled by future generations.
But most cultivators don't like places with such a strong yin energy."
You Yuyang flew into a big city here and his speed gradually slowed down.
This big city is built in exactly the same proportion as the Jingjue King's city on the ground, and is even larger in scale. Many people live peacefully here, but there is not much life or joy on their faces.
Chu Wuji estimated that Yu Yang was approaching his destination and asked:
"Where is this place, and where are you going?"
This place is the yin-nourishing place of the Youyu clan. It is the cave where the Youyu Yin of all generations have practiced cultivation, and it is also the burial place of the Youyu Yin of all generations.
Yu Yang's words proved the previous speculation.
It is really recycled.
The Fox Goddess no longer had any doubts and said:
"That's right. It seems the Queen of Jingjue inherited the legacy of You Yu Yin and established a kingdom here to cultivate."
Mrs. Jiang looked at the people in the city, and many ghost stories flashed through her mind. She asked curiously:
"Is the Queen of Jingjue scheming something by bringing her people here? Is she really just bringing the people here to enjoy a good life?"
"It should be to completely control this little world. If more people are crammed in here, the Queen of Jingjue will become the King of Hell here, and can take over everything here. As for Madam Jiang's last question..."
It’s really hard to answer the question of Goddess Tianhu.
First of all, we need to clarify what constitutes "happiness".
If we only consider the point of being "away from the threat of death", then it is indeed a blessing.
When you are in this underworld, you don’t have to worry about death at all, because if you live here for a long time, you will be assimilated into the soul of the dead, and then lose your emotions and become numb and dull.
The value of their existence here is to help the Queen of Jingjue consolidate her position as the King of Hell.
The previous "marrow cleansing soup" was mostly made from the various Yin herbs grown here, which made it easier for the people to transition smoothly into ghosts.
This is really the Queen of Jingjue helping the elderly...
Apart from joking, if we think about it carefully, given the harsh environment in which the Kingdom of Jingjue lives, the fate of normal people when they get old and sick is probably nothing but pain.
......
You Yuyang came to a well and stopped completely.
