My wife's name is Platycodon

Jialuo frowned slightly: "Isn't this the underworld of Penglai Island?" Since when did the Ame-no-Kusan sword become able to represent the immortals of Penglai?

"But there is only one underworld." The evil ghost explained that there are many such safe underworlds, which are interconnected and have many uses.

In the distant past, the gods of this world fought many wars surrounding the underworld, and it was during this time that the Demon Sword was forged.

It also mentioned that when it woke up last time, it met a big monster who also held a magic sword, calling himself Inu Daisho, and finally passed through this door.

"The reason why Inu Taisho was able to pass through was not because of the magic sword. He had a sharp tooth called Tian Cong Ya in his hand, which could kill the messenger of the underworld."

These two evil ghosts confessed a lot of things honestly. They were big in size and looked ferocious, but actually they were not very strong. They were even weaker than the ghosts that Jialuo met in the witch's house. They were just born in the underworld, so they became protectors to screen suitable people.

Chapter 82: A little bit of everything

The underworld is also known as the underworld, the underworld, hell, etc. It is the kingdom of the dead in all major mythological systems.

The source of these legends is the underworld.

Their attitude was quite sincere, so Garo took back the Sword of the Underworld. He rarely engaged in meaningless killings.

The two evil ghosts breathed a sigh of relief. The headless corpse standing there replaced their heads and said with lingering fear: "In these years, you are the third strong man who is qualified to pass through this place."

In theory, big monsters are equal to gods, but not all big monsters can be compared with gods.

Because the so-called gods are the actual controllers of heaven and earth, and possess powerful magical powers. Each of them has the ability to reverse yin and yang and decide life and death. They are not something that those monsters can mess with.

In the past, Inu Daisho was one, and now Gala can also be counted as one.

"Who is the third one?" Jialuo asked at this time.

"It's an Onmyoji who calls himself Abe Haruaki." They were deeply impressed. It was an old and decayed corpse, but it actually passed the test.

When Jialuo heard this familiar name, he felt quite strange. He and Kikyo had stayed in the Onmyoji for a period of time and learned a lot of unknown information, many of which were related to Abe Haruaki.

Did he throw his body into the underworld before he died, just to embark on the underworld?

However, he had no connection with the Onmyoji, and Jialuo did not ask much, because the evil ghost was just a gatekeeper, not an encyclopedia.

"Are you from the underworld of Penglai Island? Should that island still exist now?" The evil ghosts woke up for the first time, so they sat down to communicate. They were huge, like a house, but they seemed very honest after sitting down.

The underworld is a way of survival explored by the gods in the underworld, so the Penglai immortals naturally have the ability to find a safe underworld.

The original scene is still vivid in my mind, the immortals and gods disappeared behind the door together, and they are left here to guard the door.

Now, in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed.

"It's gone." Kikyo said truthfully.

However, Kikyo was a little absent-minded when she said this, not because of Penglai Island, but because of Souji.

The evil ghosts were also stunned. They looked hideous and ferocious, with green faces and fangs, but this was only because of the rules of the underworld that they had to remain that way. They were not bad in nature. When they heard that Penglai Island had really disappeared, they suddenly felt a sense of loss.

“Penglai Island is gone too, and the miracles of the present world are disappearing. The world will be an extremely cruel one in the future.” sighed the evil ghost on the left.

"Is this the future that the gods see?" Kikyo asked one more question, feeling that this was not something a gatekeeper could say, and that it was a profound insight.

"We just heard this from a passing god, and we think it fits the current situation, but we don't know if it's true, and we dare not talk about the more distant future."

The two evil ghosts shook their heads. They were just servants and didn't know much about this extremely wide-ranging inside story. After all, even the gods couldn't say for sure.

"This world is dying, and we need to find new life. That's what they said."

“Have they given up on this world?”

"Maybe there will be a day of return, but that is a very long time in the future. We may have to wait until the moment the world is reopened." The evil ghost replied.

It wasn't just a few gods who left, but a large enough group that represented the backbone of each pantheon, which meant that all the gods had reached a consensus.

The underworld is vast and mysterious. Its area is equal to the size of all the real worlds combined. No one knows its full appearance, and the gods also need to explore and move forward.

"Turn right after entering the door, and you may find the entrance to a new world." They pointed to the door behind them and told the two people very seriously, "But after you enter the door, some strange things may happen. Remember to ignore them and be vigilant at all times, otherwise you will be dragged into darkness and never be reborn. By then, the Pure Land Seal will be useless."

Eternal damnation is the most vicious curse in the underworld.

"Is it dangerous?" Kikyo asked curiously.

"Some things are extremely dangerous, and even gods have to retreat, otherwise they will perish." The evil ghost warned, "But this situation rarely happens. The underworld is different from the world. The entire underworld environment is extremely peaceful. As long as you don't accidentally enter a dangerous place, rarely will anything go wrong."

"Thank you for your kindness, but we have other things to do right now and won't leave for the time being." Kikyo nodded.

The evil ghost asked in astonishment: "Then what are you doing here?" The underworld is feared like a tiger in the living world and is regarded as ominous. Who would have nothing better to do and come here?

This is a long story, so Kikyo plans to make it short.

"It's just a matter of chance."

"Okay." The two evil spirits nodded. After all, this was not the first case. At that time, Inu no Taisho did not turn right either. Only Abe Haruaki chose the right side.

"Turn left after entering the gate, and you will arrive at another underworld. Use the border between the underworld and the living world as a springboard, and you can return to the living world."

"However, this human is protected by the magic sword. But you, the priestess, are different. I do not recommend you to enter." The evil spirit recognized Kikyo's condition at first sight. This is also the meaning of their existence. Keeping those who are not strong enough out can also be considered a kind of protection.

Considering the magic sword in Garo's hand, they spoke very tactfully.

But after hearing this, Gala's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the Sword of Hades was ready to move.

They thought Lian Jialuo had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "There is a light of reincarnation behind the door. Any dead person who is illuminated by it will have their memory cleansed and be forced to reincarnate. Even living beings will turn into stone statues and their souls will leave their bodies."

"Are you talking about the mark of the underworld?" He had heard Kikyo talk about this, and the Sword of Hades also said that the ultimate power of the underworld lies in reincarnation.

Once you meet any soul, it is like restarting your life.

Another evil ghost replied: "At that time, the Yin-Yang master named Abe Haruaki was illuminated and then reincarnated."

They tried to reason with them and appealed to their emotions, mainly because the relationship between the two was obviously unusual. What if the witch was reincarnated and Gala was filled with grief and anger and turned back to kill them?

Jialuo looked at Kikyo hesitantly. He knew that Kikyo had encountered such a crisis once before. Although Kikyo always looked calm, the risks involved were imaginable.

This is indeed a problem. After all, the miko is still a mortal. When facing monsters, there are endless ways to deal with them. But in the underworld, all her skills are ineffective.

But now Jialuo found that she was smiling faintly, looking peaceful and bright.

Jialuo suddenly remembered something Kikyo once said.

Each of the Tendou priestesses has different talents. For example, the priestess Tsuiko is extremely strong in close combat and attack; for example, Hitomi, some are good at defense, and even Naraku can't do anything to her; for example, Souhime, some are good at setting up barriers, and they set up the time barrier of Penglai Island, which even Kikyo was amazed.

As a priestess of the Heavenly Dao, Kikyo has no special expertise. Even her strongest attack method, the Demon-Breaking Arrow, was acquired through her hard practice day and night.

So, she knows a little bit of everything.

Chapter 83: The Border between the Underworld and the World

But the two evil ghosts didn't believe it. They had come into contact with the witch thousands of years ago, and their impression of her was still stuck in the past.

But times have changed.

Kikyo didn't make any extra movements. Her clear eyes just fixed. The overwhelming pressure descended like a substance. The evil spirits' bodies stiffened. As creatures of the underworld, spiritual power should be useless to them.

But now they feel that this is not the case at all.

At this moment, the feeling that Platycodon gave them was like a small boat facing a storm all alone, swaying in the wind and rain, in imminent danger, and seemed like it would be crushed by the heaven and earth at any time.

They were terrified and their bodies seemed to be about to fall apart. They could not withstand the inexplicable pressure.

This is not spiritual power, but an unknown force, very similar to the divine power in the Celestial Empire, but fundamentally different.

In the end, they begged for mercy, thinking that Platycodon was equally qualified to go in.

The pressure suddenly dropped, and the two evil ghosts opened the door with complicated expressions.

"Go in. Don't be surprised no matter what you see inside."

A brilliant light shone out from the gap in the door. This is the essential rule of the underworld.

Only great monsters and gods can pass through this gate.

At this point, it represents a complete leap in the level of life, leaving the earthly world and beginning to develop towards the third dimension of heaven.

Garo originally held the Sword of the Underworld in his hand to avoid accidents, but when the light of reincarnation shone on his body, nothing happened. He didn't even sense the danger and felt warm.

But he soon figured out that this was related to his own level ten spirit, a complete qualitative change, and the mystery behind it was by no means as simple as it seemed.

The two evil ghosts were stunned, and then found it incredible that such a thing could happen.

Only the immortal and noble souls of gods can be immune to the power of reincarnation and can truly ignore the light of rebirth.

Could it be the reincarnation of god?

They all thought of this possibility at the same time, but the possibility was almost zero.

Because if they are reincarnated gods, there is no reason for them to pass through this door. They have their own means to explore the underworld and can find a safer underworld passage on their own. There is no need to take the long way from Penglai Island.

But, this has nothing to do with them.

After Kikyo also stepped through the gate, they turned into stone statues again and stood on both sides, standing under the monument, and the gate closed.

Just as the evil ghost said, after entering the door, two roads really appeared in front, one to the left and one to the right. There was a dim light in both directions. Although it was not obvious, it was enough to be seen in the completely dark underworld.

The middle direction was dark. According to the evil ghost, the area directly ahead was one that had never been set foot on or explored.

Neither Kikyo nor Gala had thought of leaving now.

Kikyo pinched the Pure Land Seal and a bright light shone out. They moved forward to the left. Just after they walked for more than ten miles, a silver-white skeleton appeared in the empty ground.

"This is the skeleton of the god." Kikyo was a little surprised. She had sensed this power inside the largest shrine in Japan, where a finger bone was used to worship the god.

But it is hard to say which specific god this person is. Kikyo has not studied much about gods, because in her time, all the ancient gods have disappeared.

Although there are still gods in existence today, they were all born later, either conferred by humans or born from the mountains and wilderness.

The skeleton should be from ancient times. There are many wounds on its surface, broken ribs, and cracks all over other parts. It looks like it will fall down if the wind blows. However, there is no wind or waves in the underworld, and an immortal divinity still remains inside the skeleton, allowing it to last for thousands of years.

Kikyo and Jialuo ignored it, walked past the corpse and continued moving forward.

After they left, the place returned to darkness. The skeleton suddenly sat up, and two red lights flashed in its empty eye sockets.

Soon, Jialuo and Kikyo also understood the reason behind the evil ghost's last words: no matter what they saw, they should not be surprised.

Because there are countless corpses ahead, including dragons, gods, and some sacred artifacts that have been damaged and abandoned in this place.

This place looks like an ancient battlefield. I don't know how many years it has been since someone passed by here.

But whether it was Jialuo or Kikyo, this scene was not enough to make them give up.

They walked straight through the forest of bones, and suddenly they heard footsteps following them.

Kikyo's Pure Land Seal can illuminate a circular area with a radius of ten meters, but Jialuo didn't see the owner of the footsteps, so he thought he should be hiding in the dark and following.

Jialuo frowned slightly and was about to move, but was stopped by Kikyo. She looked calm: "They will retreat automatically."

The souls of the underworld were unwilling to let the matter rest, so they followed for a distance, and the footsteps soon disappeared.

The underworld is different from the real world. Even Galaro finds it difficult to sense what is hidden in the darkness of the underworld.

Along the way, there was an extremely dangerous atmosphere in some places, which even made him feel a little creepy.

We walked further and further away, and finally saw a hazy light ahead.

They walked in, and the surrounding environment changed dramatically.

There are many strange peaks and a vast sea of ​​fog.

This is a special space, another one located at the junction of the underworld and the world.

Kikyo released the seal. After leaving the underworld, she no longer needed the Pure Land Seal to illuminate the way ahead. Although it did not consume much spiritual energy, she mainly needed to be vigilant about the dangers in the dark, which made her a little tired.

But at this moment, she saw that Jialuo had a strange expression and his eyes were staring somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Kikyo followed Gala's gaze and found that in the vast clouds, there was a mountain-like ruin standing.

The armor is extremely majestic, with sharp barbs all over it, looking awe-inspiring. Even if only its skeleton is left, it still cannot conceal its invincible spirit that once dominated the three realms.

"Is that the remains of the Dog General?" Kikyo looked far away, but could only see a rough outline submerged in the fog, which was indeed the characteristic of the dog demon clan.

There aren't many monsters of this size, so the answer is obvious.

Dog General!

The Sword of Hades trembled and was summoned by Jia Luo. Seeing the figure of the Dog General, his voice was particularly low: "I didn't expect its corpse to be hidden here."

Jia Luo's eyes were far away, and he said softly: "There is a battle!"

The overlord who dominates the three realms will not tolerate outsiders to blaspheme, but his own son is not considered an outsider.

Kikyo also quickly noticed a very familiar breath coming with the clouds, and what attracted her even more attention was that there was a piece of fragment emitting strong light inside the body of Inu no Taisho.
