Chapter 84 Xiao Yan: Am I dead?
Outside the Xiao family mansion, it was not the familiar street that Xiao Yan remembered.

But on a secluded path.

There are flowers blooming on both sides of the path.

The petals are gorgeous and bright red like blood, but only the flowers can be seen, not the leaves.

And when Xiao Yan stood on this road, the sky around him gradually darkened strangely, as if everything was swallowed by darkness.

Moreover, a light mist filled the air before my eyes.

"Where is this, teacher?"

“I, the teacher, don’t know either.”

The master and the disciple, one old and one young, stared at each other, neither of them knowing where this place was.

Xiao Yan looked around.

Later, I found a stone tablet standing on the roadside.

"Flowers bloom on the other side, living towards death; leaves fall and flowers bloom, yet they are never seen again."

After reading the words above, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something. He was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously wanted to turn around and go back.

However, when he turned around, he found that the Xiao family mansion that originally stood behind him had disappeared.

In its place was a towering door.

Looking up, there are three characters written in bold on the plaque:

"gate of hell!"

how so.
When Xiao Yan saw the words on the plaque, he couldn't help swallowing.

Ghost Gate, this word is very unfamiliar to the Douqi Continent, but very familiar to him.

Because he is not from this world, or rather, Xiao Yan's soul does not belong to this world. He comes from a blue planet called Earth.

The Ghost Gate represents the entrance to the world of death on that blue planet!

If this is the gate of hell, then the road under your feet is
As if to confirm his guess, at this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past, causing Xiao Yan to shiver.

Then, I noticed that there were suddenly many more people on this road.

There are men and women, old and young.

She was wearing a plain dress of solid color, and her pale cheeks were painted with bright blush.

Moreover, everyone was walking on tiptoe, as if strolling aimlessly, and eventually disappeared in the mist.

Yao Chen looked at the people around him solemnly.

A strange expression appeared on these people's faces, as if they were bewitched by something. He had never seen it before.

After so many years of roaming the Douqi Continent, Yao Chen had never seen such a strange place.

However, just as Yao Chen was about to talk about this matter with his apprentice Xiao Yan, he discovered that Xiao Yan's expression was also a little strange.

"Little baby, you——"

Xiao Yan had a bitter smile on his face at this moment: "Teacher, I'm afraid I already know where this place is."

This is the world of the dead, the final resting place of the deceased.

The flowers of the other shore are blooming, the flowers are blooming on the other shore.

The road beneath our feet must be the Yellow Spring Road, leading directly to the netherworld. The fiery flowers blooming beside the road are the red spider lilies that lead the dead.
Is there a world of the dead in the Douqi Continent?

Xiao Yan didn’t know, and his teacher probably didn’t know either.

But he was now very clear about one thing, that is, he was actually dead, just sleeping and dying.
What a ridiculous way to die.

There are so many things I haven't done yet, and there is also a three-year appointment waiting for me with Nalan Yanran from Yunlan Sect.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, little kid! There's no such thing as a world of the dead!"

Yao Chen suddenly shouted, pulling Xiao Yan back from his sorrow, "Little kid, listen to your master and don't let your imagination run wild. If you think you're really dead, then what about that little girl you met before?
That little girl is a genuine Dou Zun! Her soul power is also very strong, how could she die so easily! "

Perhaps Dou Zun is not valuable in Zhongzhou, or to those big clans, but in a desolate place like the Northwest Region, especially the land of the Gama Empire, Dou Zun is an unshakable god!

Even if a hundred Dou Huangs besieged a Dou Zun, they would not be able to hurt him at all.

Not to mention that the little girl came from that place and had a strange fire on her. Yao Chen didn't believe that she didn't have any life-saving trump card.

"Yes. Cousin Xun'er is so strong, how could she die?" Xiao Yan's eyes suddenly regained some clarity.

But the surroundings remained unchanged, still filled with spooky atmosphere and cold winds.

"Teacher, what should we do next?"

Xiao Yan asked the biggest question he faced at the moment.

"Haha, Master said this should be a secret place, or a cave left behind by a Dou Emperor. Although I don't know why we are here, there should be great opportunities here. So, little kid, what do you think we should do next?"

Yao Chen stroked his beard lightly, and his calm look made Xiao Yan understand.

Yes, this might be a cave left behind by a Doudi when he ascended to heaven. If I could get the opportunity here,
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan's heart was burning with excitement, and he immediately responded: "Teacher, I understand. Let's continue to explore!"

"There may be dangers ahead, little kid, aren't you afraid?"

Hearing Yao Chen's question, Xiao Yan crossed his arms and curled his lips, saying, "When a person dies, birds fly to the sky. He who lives on will live forever! Don't I still have you, my teacher? What else do I have to be afraid of?"

Moreover, what he could not accept even more than death was the weakness of being bullied by others.

After the broken engagement, Xiao Yan never wanted to experience such humiliation again!

"Haha, that's right, the boy is teachable." Yao Lao smiled faintly.

He was very satisfied with Xiao Yan's answer.

After all, the path of cultivation itself is full of difficulties. If you don’t even have this little courage, how can you talk about becoming a saint in the future?

And the facts proved that Yao Chen was not wrong about the person.

Afterwards, the master and disciple followed the plain-clothed ghosts, passed through numerous obstacles and arrived at the end of the Yellow Springs Road.

However, seeing the scene before him, Xiao Yan's mouth couldn't stop twitching.

"Could this be the Naihe Bridge?"

What comes into view is a long river with no end in sight.

The river water is deep and has a frightening blood-yellow color.

As the water surges, one can clearly see countless dead souls floating in it, uttering mournful and unwilling howls. The entire river seems to divide the world of yin and yang.

On the riverbank where the fiery red flowers of the other shore are in full bloom, there is a huge rock in the swirling mist, on which are engraved three large characters in blood:

Forget Chuanhe.

There are three bridges, upper, middle and lower, spanning the river.

Those ghosts in plain clothes who walked through the Yellow Springs Road walked on the bridge in an orderly manner.

But the bridge doesn't look that safe.

Those who walk on the bridge will pass safely;

Those who cross the middle bridge will be safe and sound;

Those who got off the bridge were suddenly submerged in the turbulent waves of the river, and were bitten by the floating souls of the dead, as well as the bronze snakes and iron dogs.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan's scalp was tingling.

He already understood where the undead in the Forgetful River came from. Except for those who were unwilling to cross the bridge, the rest were basically swept off the bridge!

However, just as he was about to avoid the lower bridge and step onto the safest upper bridge, a slender hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Then, a light voice sounded in my ears.

"Don't be impatient, young man."

Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful face.

It was a woman, or to be more precise, a woman standing in the pavilion. She was wearing a bright red long dress, holding a red umbrella, with her hair in a bun. She had a graceful and beautiful figure, and an exquisite and perfect appearance, like a god.

This woman could be said to be the most beautiful woman Xiao Yan had ever seen in his life.

Even Ya Fei from Miter Auction House is not as good as her!

While he was stunned, a bowl of clear water was handed to him.

"Want to cross the bridge? Then drink this first. Only after drinking the Forget Worry Powder will you be qualified to cross the bridge."
