Chapter 535, it is better to be a human being than a god, and to be at ease in a lifetime
Hades, the most mysterious place that haunts the concept of Chinese mythology, is full of boundless darkness and a wilderness full of ghosts. There are hideous Yin Si ghosts, as well as the Ten Palaces of Yama, Meng Po, Nai He Bridge, and Huang Quan, isn't this qiē all delusional of human beings?
When we were young, we all watched Journey to the West, which was the first time we saw the so-called underworld, but do we really believe it? I'm afraid no one believes that there really exists in the underworld, but today I did step on the earth of the underworld. Stood in the wilderness where there was no living being.
When I raised my head, I could see that the sky in the underworld was pitch black, and it could even be said that there was no sky, because I couldn't see how high this darkness was, so I said stupidly: "Uncle Quan, is this really the underworld?" Is the earth sound of the human world above our heads? But how can I still breathe? Is there air here? Uncle Quan, you can still smoke here, can the flame burn here? It's amazing. Can these ghosts and ghosts see us? ”
The child's heart made me constantly run back and forth on the ground, very excited, not only did I not be afraid, but became very happy, and the surprise of this underworld far exceeded the fear it bringed.
"There is no heaven in the underworld, the underworld is boundless, no one can walk through the earth, no one can walk the way of the underworld. How many ghosts and ghosts seem to be stars on earth, no one can say. But living things can't survive here, not because there's no air, but because there's no water, and that's why there's no vegetation everywhere we can see. Let's go, we've got quite a bit of a way to go. Once the surrounding ghosts and ghosts find living creatures, they will disperse, if you encounter a powerful ghost, don't entangle, follow me. ”
Wang Guanquan didn't say why he brought me to the underworld, I never grew up, but was attracted by the oppressive dark land in front of me, and my face kept showing a simple face.
I never knew why I saw the underworld, and I didn't know why it was so easy in this place where there were no living people......
Following the crown in the direction of the north, we did not walk slowly, but we did not see any traces of buildings along the way. From time to time, the crown will bypass some peaks, and the peaks of the underworld are not all huge, but as long as they are around the peaks, there will be a significantly larger number of ghosts and ghosts, and I said in a low voice: "Uncle Quan, why are there more ghosts in places where there are mountains?" ”
Uncle Quan said as he walked: "Ghosts used to be living beings, and living beings have a characteristic, that is, they are looking for shelter from the wind and rain, and there are no buildings in the underworld, so the mountain peaks have become the places where they live, and once a group of ghosts gathers, a leader will appear." If there are many of them, then there will be a ghost king. Do you see those black peaks reaching into the sky in the distance? Every sound has a ghost king's existence zài. Okay, let's go, we're going to get to where we're going before it gets dark, I don't want to spend the night in the wilderness of the underworld. ”
As we hurried along, I looked up and saw ghosts flying above me like nightingales, shuttling back and forth, silently, but pulling gray marks above my head, like the white air currents released by jets flying through the sky.
As time went on, I could hear someone singing, soft, beautiful, unaccompanied, but soothing my nerves, but as if it hit my soul. Wang Guanquan said in a low voice: "Those are the songs of the dead, you can hear them, after all, your physique is good." These dead tell themselves in song, they are not ghosts, they are just some souls wandering in the wilderness, their songs are very good, I have been fascinated by them since the first time I heard them, but don't be too fascinated, because they will confuse your soul and make you think that the underworld is a beautiful place. You must always remember that this is Hades, the land of the dead. ”
After walking for more than an hour, I didn't feel tired, it stands to reason that the crown is an adult and is still walking fast, it should not be easy for me to follow a child, but after walking for so long, I am not tired at all, and I can't help but say: "Why am I not tired at all?" ”
Wang Guanquan replied in a low voice: "That's because after entering the underworld, under the influence of the characteristics of this earth, it is your soul that is stressed, not your body, so the younger you are, the lighter your soul becomes, so you don't feel tired." That's why you've been able to follow me, we're almost there? It's in the front tone, see? ”
It was the first time I had seen a patch of houses in Hades, and I looked into the distance, and I could see that about five or six kilometers from us, there was a house, about six rooms, surrounded by black earthen walls, which looked like a village.
"Wow, village!"
I shouted in surprise, but Wang Guanquan said coldly, "That's a ghost city." Remember, in the ghost market, it is not the ghosts but the people who are scary, and the ghost market is the only place where you can see the living. ”
The ghost market is a unique fang market in the underworld, similar to the general storage of the market, here is the only place connected between the human world and the underworld, the ghost market is generally not big, controlled by the ghost king or the powerful ghost, there are some things in the world that are needed by the ghosts, and there are some things in the underworld that are needed by human beings, so there will be a ghost market, and the meaning of its existence is so simple.
Five or six kilometers to follow our tutorial, soon arrived, standing on the black wall voice, standing at the door stood two green-skinned monsters, thin and small but holding a huge steel fork, there was some fatigue between the eyebrows, but as soon as Wang Guanquan and I appeared, they immediately became nervous, and the steel fork shouted at us: "What people! This is the territory of the Giant Martial Ghost King, so be less presumptuous! ”
They probably hadn't seen a living person in a long time, so they were nervous.
"Under the command of the ghost vein black general, come to this ghost market to do some business, please let go."
Wang Guanquan was quite polite to the two monsters, the two monsters glanced at each other, and then one of them staggered to me and Wang Guanquan's voice, weighed the two of us, and then said: "The rule set by Lord Juwu, if you want to do business in our ghost market, you must pay the entrance fee first, and enter and exit ten ghost coins at a time, if you can't pay it, don't go in." ”
The ghost coin they are talking about is the copper plate that the crown power gave to the two ghosts by the stone gate before, and I don't say how this thing came about, but it seems to be a currency that can be circulated in the underworld.
"When did the price increase? I remember a few years ago when I went in and out of another ghost market and only charged one ghost coin, isn't it a little too dark? ”
Wang Guanquan's voice was unhappy, and these two ghosts clearly wanted to blackmail.
"Oh, the kid is quite powerful, and he dares to talk back? I've told you, this is the territory of Lord Juwu, Lord Juwu is a fierce general under the Ten Ghost Kings, if you can't afford it, get out, don't block the door. ”
The green-skinned monster shouted, and as soon as I heard that this giant martial master was a general under the ghost king, my heart trembled, and I took the crown and said, "Uncle Quan, why don't we change places." ”
Wang Guanquan shook his head and said: "There are not many ghost markets, there is a long distance between them, and it will take us several hours to walk this way by adding some horses to the sunset in the sunset." If the sun sets, it is the most lively time in the underworld, and some powerful ghosts and ghosts in the wilderness will increase, and there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience. ”
As he spoke, he took out two copper plates from his pockets, threw them to the two green-skinned monsters, and said, "I only have two of them, and I never have more, and if you don't let me in again, I'm not welcome." "Huge garbage.
These two green-skinned monsters took the so-called ghost coins, and they were overjoyed, and when they heard Wang Guanquan's words, they thought that Uncle Quan was deliberately arranging music in order to fight for a sound in front of me, so the two monsters immediately turned pale and shouted: "I just don't let you in, what's the matter?" ”
As soon as these words came out, I saw that Wang Guanquan's face instantly turned cold...... R832
