Chapter 53: Crossing the Forgotten River and Drinking Mengpo Soup



Qiu Changtian followed Luo Yan closely, and the two of them controlled the sword lights and rushed towards the depths of Fengdu.

The design of the Ten Palaces of Fengdu is also very unique, and it is said that it was modeled after the real underworld.

There is a gloomy atmosphere and ghostly shadows everywhere, which makes people feel uneasy instinctively.

If it were normal times, he would still be in the mood to explore.

But now he was following the future Luo Yan, in a hurry and with no time to stop.

After walking for dozens of minutes, a tall building appeared in front of us. It looked like an ancient city tower and looked hideous in the night.

"This is the gate of hell." Luo Yan reminded.

The two men swooped over with sword lights, and suddenly a soul-catching messenger wearing a dark banner and a long tongue rose into the air and said quietly:

"Stop here, sir. This is the gate of hell. Do you have a guide?"

Luo Yan ignored it and just said:

"This is a small level."

"Trialists can accept its mission and go to the nearby area to search for lost ghosts, then come back to exchange them for guides."

“But we don’t have the time.”

After saying that, Luo Yan quickly made a hand gesture and blasted out a "Jade Pivot Divine Thunder", directly knocking the Soul Catcher to the ground.

The soul-catcher's cultivation level was not high, and he was caught off guard. He didn't even have the ghost energy to protect himself, and was blown to pieces on the spot.

The sound of thunder resounded through heaven and earth.

There were some people undergoing trials around, and they were teleported to the Ten Palaces of Fengdu.

After negotiating with the soul-catcher, he was looking for wandering ghosts everywhere. He turned around in surprise, but only saw two sword lights escaping into the ghost gate, and the soul-catcher was gone.

"No way? How could that person just barge in?"

Everyone rushed over to check it out, and just happened to run into the underworld soldiers who were frightened and rushed out of the Ghost Gate. Immediately, there was another fight and a bloody chaos, and they were hacked to death and cried for their parents.

Qiu Changtian was the fastest runner among those following Luo Yan, so he managed to escape by accident.

The two flew all the way on the Yellow Springs Road. The true Qi extracted from the "Nine Heavens Pure Land Entering the Realm True Words" was extremely pure and had a very strong endurance.

Coupled with the sword-controlling essentials learned from Mount Shu, the sword-controlling speed of the two of them has now far exceeded the level of ordinary practitioners, so the surrounding ghosts and monsters that block the way are completely unable to catch up.

They flew wildly all the way like this, directly rushed across the Yellow Springs Road, and arrived at a river. Then, a restriction descended from the air, suppressing the two and making them unable to wield their swords.

"This is the Wangchuan River." Luo Yan said, "There is a wooden bridge on the Wangchuan River, named 'Naihe Bridge'."

"Due to restrictions, we have to walk there. Follow me closely and don't walk around randomly."

Qiu Changtian:?

You want to take advantage of me verbally? There's something wrong with you!

The two men ran to the bridge, only to see the river water beneath the bridge was bloody and turbid. Countless slender dark ghost hands stretched out from it, trying to drag the two men into the water.

Luo Yan manipulated the Taohua Sword, and a pink stream of light flew past swiftly. Anyone who touched it had their skin festered and turned into blood. Countless ghost hands were killed, twitching and dancing all over the sky.

While flying his sword, he recited the lines indifferently:

"If it were the real Forgetful River in the underworld, if you fell into it, your flesh and blood would be separated, your soul would be trapped, and you would never be able to reincarnate."

"And in this trial illusion, the consequence of falling into the water is simply failure to pass the level and being expelled from the palace."

"The further you go on the bridge, the more ghosts will attack you, so remember to buy some more Yanchong Talismans at Yuqing Temple before you leave and carry them with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Yan suddenly controlled the magic weapon and talisman.

The talismans were all large-sized Flame Charms, which were thrown forward madly as if they were free, burning the ghosts' hands and making them tremble.

The magic weapon was Miss Shi's signature Heaven-Turning Seal, which was spinning in the air and attacking whenever it saw one.

The ghosts were beaten so badly that their hands were torn into pieces, their tendons were broken, and their bones were fractured. They had no choice but to retreat back into the Forgotten River, never daring to show their heads again.

The two continued to move towards the bridge, and just as Luo Yan said, the higher they went, the more ghost hands stretched out from under the bridge.

The individual strength of this ghost hand is not strong, but it is almost massive and the angle is extremely tricky. If an ordinary practitioner encounters it, he will naturally suffer a lot.

However, Luo Yan seemed to have been prepared. He scattered the Flame Charms in his hand one after another, almost setting the entire wooden bridge on fire.

The Heaven-Flipping Seal is also extremely sharp. Occasionally, when a powerful ghost hand rushes in through a sea of ​​fire, it will beat it to pieces.

Even after crossing the Naihe Bridge and reaching the other side, Qiu Changtian was still a little dazed.

Just came here safely?

"After crossing the Wangchuan River, you will reach the Wangxiang Terrace." Luo Yan suddenly said, pointing ahead.

I saw an old woman blocking the way in front of the Wangxiang Terrace, setting up a small table with a row of large bowls on it.

"This Meng Po stall sells Meng Po soup." Luo Yan said woodenly, "According to the normal order of passing the level, you naturally have to drink the soup before you can move forward."

"Besides, drinking it will do you a lot of good."

Qiu Changtian pondered for a moment, then nodded and went over to get a bowl from the stall.

The soup was neither white nor oily, and was turbid. It smelled hot but had no fragrance.

He tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp.

In an instant, countless memories from the time he was born until now flashed through his mind, including the family alleys, high-rise buildings, and school playgrounds.

The voices, smiles and faces of parents, relatives, teachers and friends from the previous life are all before my eyes, but they are gone so quickly.

Unconsciously, an inexplicable emotion rose from my heart, and two lines of tears flowed from my eyes.

"Why do you want to practice Taoism?" a voice from the dark asked him.

He was originally immersed in great disappointment, but fortunately he had a clear mind and a clear mind, so his mind immediately became clear and he replied:

"To seek longevity."

"To seek great freedom and great ease."

"In order to escape from the Three Realms, Five Elements, and Six Paths of Reincarnation, and ascend to the supreme throne of the sky."

"In order to obtain great power within myself, there will be no more restraints in the world!"

The sound faded away instantly.

When he came to his senses, he found himself refreshed, all the loopholes in his state of mind were made up, and even his cultivation level increased significantly.

Realizing the benefit of this, he changed his mind and looked at Luo Yan.

As a result, Meng Po immediately stretched out her old hands with withered claws, protected the soup bowls and said:

"One bowl per person is enough. Drinking more is useless."

Luo Yan said indifferently:

"I can tell that you and I are one person. This Meng Po is also part of the Li Palace's restriction. There is no need to worry."

Qiu Changtian nodded, secretly feeling it was a pity.

The two of them moved forward at full speed again.

After passing Wangxiangtai, Heigouling is in front.

Although the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, it is no problem for the monks.

But from time to time, there would be vicious dogs and ghosts that would attack in the cover of night and try to bite people's hands and feet.

Luo Yan remained silent and did not wait for Qiu Changtian to make a move. He just raised the Taohua Sword and the Fantian Seal and started hitting the dogs, making them whimper and cry.

After a while, many evil ghosts with disheveled hair and clothes came and shouted at the two of them:

"These dogs are so cute, why do you want to kill them..."

As soon as the words came out, it was like a tight hoop, causing Qiu Changtian to have a headache.

Looking at Luo Yan again, he didn't argue with them at all and just started to beat them.

Many evil ghosts' heads burst and they ran around in panic, but they were all destroyed in an instant.

In the middle of the corpses, there was a glittering object, but it was unclear whether it was caused by a human or a dog.

Luo Yan picked it up and put it away, saying in a deep voice:

"This item is called 'Black Dog Nail'. It is made from the hot blood of a strong male dog's neck. It has the effect of exorcising evil spirits."

"We will use it later."
