Chapter 533: Nine Shadows and Six Paths
July 15 is a very ordinary day in many places, and it is actually very ordinary in the underworld, but if it is spread once in a hundred years, it becomes extraordinary.
Led by the Hengjian faction, all the forces of the Polish State were ready to go, and Chen Zheng was also among them, and after listening to Lin Duan's instructions to pay attention to the matter, he took the lead in stomping on the ground three times, and shouted in his mouth: "Nine Shadows and Six Paths." ”
As soon as the four words came out, Lin Duan turned into light and disappeared, and the rest of the people followed suit, and they all turned into light and disappeared in front of Chen Zheng's eyes, Chen Zheng originally wanted to perceive the doorway, but he found nothing in the perception, so he didn't continue to explore, and stomped on the ground three times, exhaling nine secluded and six ways, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Zheng had already arrived in a wilderness.
The wilderness is endless, except for a steel gate in front of you. The door was made of black steel, 100 meters high and 200 meters wide. The door buckle is two smiling skulls, and the rest is not too decorated, quaint, lonely standing in the wilderness.
"This is the Gate of the Nine Shadows. Li Duan explained to Chen Zheng, and then led everyone towards the Gate of the Nine Shadows, and the steel gate slowly opened on its own, emitting a series of roaring sounds.
It was pitch black in the Nine Shadows Gate, but when you walked into it, it was another world in the blink of an eye, and the first thing that caught your eye was the light blue light that rushed into the sky in a very distant place.
The sky was very dark, there was no sun, it looked gloomy, and the light of the whole world seemed to be provided by the blue light in the distance, making everything that could be seen around look strangely gloomy.
And in the sky, it was not clouds that were drifting, but human-shaped, almost transparent white light, the light was very faint, but there were so many of them that they almost covered the sky.
At this moment, Lin Duan and the others are on the top of a big mountain, overlooking down, the environment below is a rather lifeless world, the trees are withered, the rocks are eroded by the wind, and the rivers are turbid.
Lin Duan probably thought that Chen Zheng didn't seem to know anything about the underworld, so he walked up to Chen Zheng, handed Chen Zheng a piece of parchment, and said, "Senior, this is the map of the Nine Shadows and Six Paths. ”
Chen Zheng nodded, took it in his hand, and realized that the Nine Shadows and Six Paths were actually not divided into six layers or nine layers, and this world was actually the Nine Shadows and Six Paths themselves.
It can be seen as a round cake with a circle in the middle, which is called the Nine Secluded Land. The outer ring is evenly divided into six areas, that is, the six realms, which are the eighteen heavenly paths, the great asura paths, the mortal paths, the common life paths, the evil ghost paths, and the eighteen hell paths.
Those humanoid rays in the sky are actually the souls of dead beings from all walks of life, and some of them have karma on them, and they will fall into the six realms, and according to the amount of karma, they will stay in the six realms until the karma is eliminated, and then they can be reincarnated.
Therefore, the so-called good has good and evil is rewarded, it is basically nonsense, how to be evil in front of the body, and enter the nine shadows after death, even if there is too much karma, it is just to stay in the six realms for a little more time, and the process of washing away karma is not painful, and the soul itself that enters the nine shadows has no feeling or memory.
And the blue light that soars into the sky in the extreme distance is the reincarnation channel, located at the center point of the nine shadows, and all the living souls will fly towards the reincarnation channel, and those who have no karma will be reincarnated directly, and those with karma will fall into the six realms.
How did the ghosts of the underworld come about?
Chen Zheng was curious, but he didn't ask it, this question is the same as asking how people in the human world came about, either it is too profound to explore the beginning, or others treat you as idiots. Chen Zheng was just curious, and the answer was irrelevant, so he didn't ask.
"Senior, I'm about to summon the spirit, can the senior preside over the overall situation?"
Chen Zheng knew that Lin Duan was polite, so he said, "Come on, I still have something to do, oh, do you know how to meet the Nine Ghost Kings?"
"This ...... The juniors don't know, but I heard that the Nine Ghost Kings are in the Land of Nine Shadows, maybe where can I go to know some news. ”
"Well, you summon spirits. ”
Chen Zheng's figure flashed, but he didn't teleport too far, but hid aside, looking at how Lin Duan summoned spirits, there was such an unexpected gain as the spirit flag, Chen Zheng was naturally willing to spend more time to see if there were any other surprises, as for why he was not in place, it was Chen Zheng who was afraid of being accepted by the spirit flag, and Lin Duan's ghosts were not affected by the spirit flag, Chen Zheng couldn't stand it.
On Lin Duan's side, things have been set up, and Lin Duan is holding the spirit flag and swaying in the air, there is a soul suppression stone standing on the ground below, several people are playing tricks on one side, and on the other side is a circular platform with a diameter of ten meters, which is also placed on the ground.
As Lin Duan swayed the spirit flag, waves of black light brushed to the sky, and there were living souls constantly flying down from the sky, drilling into the soul flag, to a certain amount, Lin Duan shook the spirit flag a few times, and shook the living souls inside to the soul stone, the soul stone released blue light, set those souls aside, like a flock of birds hovering on the soul stone, and then, the people around the soul stone played a few tricks, and those souls flew down to the soul refining platform, and were absorbed by the disciples on the side with magic weapons.
Looking at the process, there was no place for Chen Zheng to see, and in the Nine Secluded Places, it was not easy to distinguish the divine sense to detect, so Chen Zheng no longer stayed, visually measured the approximate distance of the Nine Secluded Land, and then teleported towards the Nine Secluded Land.
After a few teleportations, Chen Zheng had already arrived at the so-called Nine Secluded Land, and at this time he realized the shock of the reincarnation channel, which was a huge pillar of light that rushed into the sky and had a diameter of hundreds of miles, and in the pillar of light, countless souls circled along the pillar of light like in the sea, like countless fish.
And when you are next to the pillar of light, it is like looking up at the vast sea at the bottom of the sea, looking at the countless swimming fish, you don't know where there is something waiting, you feel a fear of the unknown, and there are countless possible mysteries.
Chen Zheng looked up for a while before hanging in mid-air to look at the nearby environment.
The land of Jiuyou is not as terrifying as the environment in the six paths, it looks very prosperous, as far as Chen Zheng sees now, there is a city in front of him, this city radiates out, and there are thousands of places where people live, not to mention anything else, the city is full of people, the lights are dim, and it looks like it is not lively.
"I can't exude my divine consciousness to explore, I'm really not used to it. Chen Zheng sighed, usually spread his senses, you can know what the city in front of you is called, and there are probably some strong people in it, but now you can see with your eyes, and you can't see any clues, Chen Zheng can only fly over and fall in front of the city gate, only to see that this city is called "Taidu".
There is no sun in Jiuyou, and the light is relatively dim, so it is impossible to know whether it is day or night, and it seems to be about the brightness of dawn when the sun will not rise, but there are lanterns hanging all over the city, and the fire is bright, and it looks quite vibrant.
The street that connects to the city gate is bustling with people and looks particularly lively.
"Let's ask the Taidu City Lord first. Chen Zheng walked into Taidu City, only took two steps, but someone quickly rushed out from the side, Chen Zheng couldn't use his divine sense to perceive the Quartet, he was not used to it for a while, his body just turned around, and he was already bumped into the arms by that person.
Chen Zheng was just not used to not spreading his divine consciousness out of his body, and his physical strength had not weakened at all, and the person who came naturally seemed to have hit Tie Qiang at great speed, and he flew upside down for a while, and screamed "ouch".
