I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 328: Arrival, Miss Zhong Kui and the Yellow Springs River

The Nine Netherworlds are extremely deep and boundless.

"The hot soup made from human heads costs thirty Yin notes per bowl. Drinking it will allow you to cross the Naihe Bridge and beat up the Black Impermanence."

At the boundary between Yin and Yang, by the Yellow Springs River, the peddler’s head lies in the soup pot, screaming. The headless rotten corpse is stirring the soup pot with a large spoon, occasionally throwing a handful of red spider lilies into it.

The aroma is lingering.

‘Tuk, Tuk, Tuk’

There were footsteps heard. The head in the soup pot looked up and saw four little ghosts carrying a big sedan chair. The curtain of the sedan chair swayed in the cold wind, and the bride in a red robe could be vaguely seen inside.

"Hey, Miss Three!"

The head in the soup pot yelled:

"You are not staying in Fengdu City. Where are you going?"

"I'm going to get married."

The bridal sedan stopped in front of the stall. A pale hand pushed aside the curtain, and the bride in a phoenix crown and draped robe poked her head out and spoke softly:
"My father wants me to marry the Eastern Ghost Emperor. I am on my way to the City of the Dead. I am passing by here to pick some red spider lilies for my dowry. What about you? Zhong Kui, the great judge, why are you cooking your own head here?"

"no way."

The skull in the soup pot makes a clanging sound:

"It's for a living. Being a judge is all a thing of the past. Miss Third, I heard that the City of the Dead has been in turmoil recently."

"Ah."

The third young lady nodded delicately:
"A few days ago, the black bird returned—half of the black bird returned and fell outside the city of the dead."

"Black Bird?" The vendor was shocked. "Doesn't the Black Bird live in the human world? The Naihe Bridge is right here!"

As he spoke, the headless corpse pointed to the side, where a dark black bridge stood quietly, leading to an unknown place that could not be seen clearly.

"Who knows?"

The third young lady with a white crescent moon engraved on her forehead sighed again:
"My father said that maybe due to the intersection of yin and yang, space was disordered, and half of the black bird carried half of the Naihe Bridge on its back and fell into the City of the Dead. However, the entrance to the Naihe Bridge is beside the source of the Yellow Spring."

After a while, she said softly:

"Okay, I'm going to cross the river now. Zhong Kui, take care of yourself."

The "Third Miss" could vaguely see the rotting corpse in the tattered judge's uniform. She fished out the head from the soup pot, put it around her neck, and twisted it a few times.

The former great judge grabbed the soup spoon and shook his head, and milky soup oozed out from his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

He said softly:

"The Eastern Ghost Emperor Shen Tu is the most brutal. If you marry him, I'm afraid..."

The third lady spoke calmly:
"I can't help it. My father needs the support and help of the City of the Dead. You know, ever since my father lost the Yama Palace and fell from the throne of the King of Hell, his life has become more and more difficult. He can no longer stay in Fengdu City. He only hopes that this marriage can be successful so that he can marry me and go to the City of the Dead."

Zhong Kui's lips trembled, and his hand holding the soup spoon tightened and tightened, but he let out a miserable laugh:
"Has Lord Bao fallen to this point?"

The third lady lowered her eyelids:
"The Ten Halls of Hell are all formed by the death of human beings. Who wouldn't be miserable after the catastrophe? Like you, aren't you selling soup here for a living? What you sell is your ghost energy and cultivation."

Zhong Kui closed his eyes for a long time before speaking:
"How about I go to the City of the Dead with Miss Third?"

"you?"

The third lady shook her head:
"What's the point of you going? When Shen Tu plays with me and abuses me, can you bear it? If you can't bear it, you will stand up, and then you will be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or an ant trying to shake a tree, and finally die in the City of the Dead."

Zhong Kui frowned and said coldly:

"Master Bao is just going to watch you get into trouble?"

"Father has nowhere else to go." The Third Miss said in a low voice, "The last branch of the Nine Nether race in Fengdu City is in a very miserable state. Father wants to take them to the City of the Dead. This is the only way for them to survive."

"After all, Shen Tu is cruel, but he has little interest in the human race."

Zhong Kui was dejected.

for a long time.

"I respectfully send off the Third Miss. She is on her way." He performed the ceremony and bowed deeply. The Third Miss adjusted her phoenix coronet and veil and returned to the bridal sedan. A faint voice came from inside the sedan.

"In fact, I married into the City of the Dead not only to find a way out for the Nine Nether Race and my father."

Zhong Kui took off his head and threw it into the soup pot. As it was soaked and boiled in the milky white soup, he asked:
"What else?"

The third young lady's voice was filled with a hint of solemnity. It became very low and slight, as if she was afraid of being heard by some extraordinary being:

"close the door."

"Close the door on the black bird and close the Naihe Bridge."

The head in the soup pot widened its eyes and wanted to speak.

‘Tuk, Tuk, Tuk’

But there were footsteps again.

The head suddenly shut up, and the girl in the sedan chair also stopped talking. They stopped talking immediately, not daring to talk about the secret anymore.

But the next moment, Zhong Kui and the third lady in the sedan chair realized that something was wrong.

The sound of footsteps did not come from the deep and boundless flowers on the other shore.

From
on the bridge.

On the Naihe Bridge.

The head jumped out of the soup pot and fell back onto the neck of the rotten corpse. The third young lady in the sedan drew her sword, opened the curtain, stood on the crossbar, and stared hungrily.

Behind the bridge, someone is walking.

more than one!
"Knock, knock, knock!" The footsteps approached and became louder. In the mist at the end of the Naihe Bridge, a hunched figure slowly emerged.

He was an old blind man with his eyes covered with a black cloth. He stepped into the Tiangang number and just as he entered the Jiuyou, he saw Yin energy growing from his skin - the Jiuyou human race.

The Jiuyou human race has lived in the Jiuyou for many years, and as they have reproduced from generation to generation, they have inevitably acquired local characteristics, and their own yang energy will turn into yin energy in the Jiuyou.

Behind the old blind man, there was a gentle young man, surrounded by the "yang energy" that was extremely dazzling in the underworld. He was a living person from the human world!
"Gua Xian??"

The Third Miss and Zhong Kui said in unison, with a look of surprise flashing across the former’s face:
"Why are you back?"

She turned and frowned.
You know, every time a soul passes through the Naihe Bridge, the width of the bridge will be reduced by one point. Fengdu City and Zhongshan have both issued a ban, not allowing ghosts to cross the bridge, waiting for the bridge to expand to its limit.
Back then, my father and the Nine Netherworld people spent a lot of effort and paid a huge price to barely send this Gua Immortal across the Naihe Bridge and to the human world.

Just to complete the last trial in that place - why are you back so soon?

The trial is completed?
No, it’s impossible, not that fast, so it’s a failure?
The third young lady's body was shaky as if her backbone had been removed.

The old blind man on the Naihe Bridge walked over step by step, and walked down the bridge leading to the human world step by step. His eyes passed through the black cloth and stopped at Zhong Kui and the third young lady. A look of surprise flashed across his face.

He wanted to say something, but couldn't help turning back and looking at the gentle young man who followed him like a servant.

It’s Zhou Mu.

He did not ride on the immortal golden chariot, nor did he wield the Four Immortal Swords. He restrained his aura and was like an ordinary person.

In the underworld, there are people with great supernatural powers.

At least three.

Zhou Mu didn't want to attract the attention of a powerful person when he first entered the Netherworld - that would be really troublesome.
At the very least, we have to find half of my sister's body first, or at least contact her descendants in the [Ultimate Ancient Land].

After all, now that I am in control of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and other treasures, I can fight with Daluo.
But what if you meet someone with great supernatural powers?
Mostly cool.

Stability is the priority.

As his thoughts turned, Zhou Mu, who looked like an ordinary young man, looked at the bride in the sedan chair and the vendor in front of the soup pot.

The old blind man also reacted at this moment, and knew the intention of the big man behind him. At this moment, he tried hard not to look at the big man and kept his eyes straight.

He kept telling himself in his heart that the person behind him was a little follower, not Beidi, not Beidi
After a while, the old blind man adjusted his mentality and looked solemn:

"Miss San? Why are you here, and dressed like this?"

The bride, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, took a deep breath and chatted with Zhong Kui, recounting what they had just talked about.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask again:
"How did you come back from the human world?"

The old blind man shrugged his shoulders:

"Because of some force majeure, unavoidable accidents."

He took a deep breath, and suddenly his ears moved slightly, hearing the voice from that adult, and asked:
"You just said that Xuanniao was in the City of the Dead?"

"Ah."

The third lady nodded gently:
"The half-body black bird fell into the City of the Dead, and is now controlled by the Eastern Ghost Emperor Shen Tu, who absorbs the Yin energy and divine essence that escapes from his body every day."

The servant following behind the old blind man raised his eyelids.

The old blind man asked again:

"Besides me and my followers, was there anyone else who walked down the Naihe Bridge and came from the human world a moment ago?"

The Third Miss and Zhong Kui looked at each other blankly, and shook their heads cautiously and respectfully.

Although the cultivation level of this Gua Immortal is not high and is only close to that of a True King, his status is extremely extraordinary and even the Ghost Emperor has to treat him with caution when he sees him.

After all, it's the candidate there.

The old blind man frowned slightly at this time, and the servant behind him also frowned. No?

So, where did that mysterious Daluo go?

Zhou Mu found it a bit strange. How could he disappear just by walking onto the Naihe Bridge?

He subconsciously turned back to gaze at the bridge that connected the underworld to the human world. Dense threads of cause and effect flashed through his eyes. He saw through everything and traced back the past of this Naihe Bridge.

But just as the two men said, except themselves and the old blind man, no one else walked out of the bridge and came to the Nine Netherworld from the human world.

This is really weird.

Zhou Mu secretly activated the green lamp and stared at the Naihe Bridge. There seemed to be a candlelight in his eyes. This time, he saw it.

Not long ago, a figure emerged from the depths of the Naihe Bridge. Instead of walking down, it passed directly through the bridge and landed on the body of Ajie, who was far away.

To be precise, it is the sister who is in half of the body of the City of the Dead.

"interesting."

Zhou Mu's eyes flickered. The mysterious Daluo seemed to be very familiar with the Naihe Bridge.

and.
Just now, he vaguely saw that the aura of that Daluo was that of a [human].

It is a pure human race.

More interesting.

Zhou Mu retracted his gaze and sent a message to the old blind man. The latter's ears moved slightly, and he looked up at the third young lady with a smile.

"I am also going to the City of the Dead, Third Miss, why don't we go together?"

The third lady blinked and nodded without hesitation. Zhong Kui beside her also dropped the soup spoon in his hand:
"I will go with you!"

"Even if I die in the City of the Dead, it's better than living here selling soup!"
