Chapter 64: Enlisting the Yin Spirits, Dang Kang Makes a Merit
In the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave.
Zhang Xiaochun stood by the abyss.
The elder stood with his hands clasped, and hesitantly advised: "Master, this is the entrance to the Dead Abyss, but... do you really want to go down?"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded, glanced at the cowering elder, and said, "Wait here. I will be out in a few days. Don't worry."
Naturally, Nian Lao Da and the others did not dare to say anything more about Zhang Xiaochun's order. Some others were intimidated by the power of the Black Turtle Ancestor and did not dare to interrupt at all.
I can only wait here respectfully.
Zhang Xiaochun jumped down, carrying the tortoise-patterned pot on his back to prop up the mysterious barrier to prevent any accidents, and went straight into the Undead Abyss.
What meets the eye is endless darkness, with no way to tell the direction at all. It makes people feel terrified, as if it is the Netherworld of Hell.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Xiaochun took out the Twelve Moon Pearls and released silver moonlight. The Twelve Moon Pearls surrounded him, shining brightly and illuminating everything around him to light the way.
Wait until we reach the bottom of the abyss.
As an outsider, Zhang Xiaochun seemed to have broken the silence that had lasted for thousands of years.
Countless ghosts were awakened from their long sleep, and feeling the warmth of the human body for the first time in hundreds of years, they gathered here desperately.
The faint light like light smoke floated and shifted, transforming into countless faces, male or female, old or young, beautiful or ugly, just the thousands of evil spirits!
According to ancient legend, only the soul remains immortal during old age and death. At the end of one life, the soul will leave the body and go to the next life. The reincarnation will never end.
However, there are resentful spirits in the world. They are caused by the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, and are caused by fear, evil, and fear. They are attached to the world, look back on their past lives, and do not want to be reborn. They are called "yin spirits."
Yin spirits are yin souls, so they naturally like to live in damp places. The darkness and dampness in the Abyss of the Dead is the most suitable place for them to reside.
In this world, there is no six realms of reincarnation, no underworld, and therefore no such thing as reincarnation. After a person dies, the resentful spirits do not disperse, so it takes who knows how many years of accumulation to create such a large number of souls in the Abyss of the Dead.
Zhang Xiaochun captured a ghost with interest and used his divine power from heaven to investigate. Unfortunately, the ghost's three souls of heaven, earth and man were incomplete, its life light was gone, and its spiritual platform was obscured and difficult to revive.
Even if he was kind-hearted and used his supernatural powers to have them reincarnate, the children born would only be mentally retarded. What's more, there are so many of them. Even if he wanted to save them, it would be difficult to achieve the desired result without several years of hard work.
After thinking it over, Zhang Xiaochun decided that it would be better to give it to the master. The value of the Hongmeng Pearl's origin in exchange would be a considerable amount.
If all else fails, one can also throw oneself into the underworld of the original incarnation, Fengdu Daojun, and transform it into the original power of the underworld, which can be molded into thousands of ghost soldiers and demons for one to command.
It’s a profitable deal either way!
At this moment, in Zhang Xiaochun's eyes, these millions of evil spirits were nothing but exchange points, the kind that could be grabbed in handfuls.
As for the Dead Soul Abyss, after the Zhu Xian World is merged into Daluo Heaven, it can be integrated with the Netherworld, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
For three consecutive days, Zhang Xiaochun continuously opened the fetal membrane of heaven and earth transformed by the divine power of heaven, turning it into an infinite net to capture the endless evil spirits.
It is said that evil spirits eat people. Now the identities of both parties have been swapped. Zhang Xiaochun has become a hunter. High-end hunters often appear as prey.
At the beginning, Zhang Xiaochun only needed to shake his head casually, and evil spirits would rush towards him like wolves into a tiger's mouth.
But in the end, they were the only ones who could escape.
As the last ghost was captured by him, Zhang Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally finished the job, without leaving any behind.
The Dead Abyss is extremely large, even vast. Sometimes Zhang Xiaochun even has doubts as to whether this is the space where the Netherworld should be located when the Zhu Xian world evolved. It’s just that the world is incomplete, so the underworld is difficult to appear.
And at this time.
Yuanchu Daojun in the Hongmeng Space looked at these countless evil spirits and didn't know what to say.
At the beginning of the Wu Geng era, he cursed: "Damn it, who the hell is treating this place as a garbage dump, huh? They're stuffing everything in here. Before, it was full of poisonous blood and corpse essence, and now it's filled with countless ghosts.
Where did all these underworld things come from? They are enough to reopen the underworld. I, as an administrator, can’t handle it all!"
The culprit of this incident is now completely unaware of the situation and is still leisurely browsing the various scenery in the Dead Abyss, looking for some monsters therein.
The health beast Fengze is unexpectedly useful at this time.
It was seen barking in front of Zhang Xiaochun, its nose twitching, constantly collecting evil spirits in the air and guiding Zhang Xiaochun in the right direction.
It is said that pigs have a keen sense of smell. Zhang Xiaochun had never imagined that Dang Kang was also so sensitive to evil spirits, and became a rare helper.
This saved him a lot of time in this dark space, as he didn't have to search everywhere.
Although this Dead Abyss is dead silent, all living things have a glimmer of life. Some monsters can survive in it, such as the red-eyed pig monster and the tree monster they encountered now.
There was a big tree growing alone in this open space. The moment Zhang Xiaochun arrived, all the still branches began to move like human arms. In the darkness, the dancing figure of the tree demon looked like a demon from the underworld.
Moreover, a big hole slowly opened up on the trunk of the tree monster, and a pungent fishy smell gushed out of it. I'm afraid that this is the mouthparts of the tree monster.
Zhang Xiaochun felt nauseous when he saw it, so he shot a beam of sword light at it, and used his spiritual power to transform into an invisible giant hand, and directly uprooted the tree monster, thus eradicating it completely.
The root system of this monster was so thick that it actually reached a radius of 100 meters. It took Zhang Xiaochun a lot of effort to get it. It was indeed a tree monster! Based on the principle of not wasting, Zhang Xiaochun, although he felt disgusted, still collected the trunk of the tree monster. After all, it had become a monster, so it was somewhat extraordinary and could be refined into a magic weapon in the future.
He is the dignified Taoist Master Shangqing Yujing, but he does not mind having too many spiritual treasures.
However, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart. When would Yuanchu be born?
You know, setting up formations is what he is good at. Logically speaking, this method of refining equipment should be Yuanchu's forte. Now that he is asked to do the task of refining treasures, it is somewhat inconvenient.
Zhang Xiaochun shook his head, lamenting his hard-working life while searching for the blood hole.
"This Undead Abyss is really too big. How long will it take to find it?" Zhang Xiaochun complained.
"Ha ha ha!"
At this moment, Fengze seemed to have released something and shouted a few times, urging Zhang Xiaochun to go forward.
It was a stone cave. Dang Kang walked in front to lead the way for Zhang Xiaochun. At the end of the passage, a curtain of water hung from the ceiling of the cave. The water splashed in all directions, crystal clear and beautiful, and finally fell into a small pool at the end of the passage.
There are seven red stones, each half the size of a palm, inlaid on the stone wall of the cave ceiling. The stone texture is the same as the stones next to it, only the color is different.
Seven red stones were crookedly arranged on the top of the cave, forming a strange spoon shape.
Especially the color. I don't know how many years it has been washed by water in this cave, but it is still as red as blood. Even the crystal water drops flowing through these red stones are reflected as red like blood, and then dripping down, just like blood drops dripping from the top of the cave.
However, once they are away from the redstones, the water droplets will return to their original transparent state.
“This is the Bleeding Cave!”
Zhang Xiaochun smiled slightly and patted Dang Kang on the head: "I'll give you credit for this time!"
"Hey!"
Dang Kang also shouted happily as if he was seeking credit.
According to the records in the original book, Zhang Xiaochun found the reflections of the seven red stones in the water.
I reached my hand into the bottom of the pool and gently stroked it. Sure enough, beneath the sand and rocks, there were seven small stones embedded in the ground, glowing faintly red.
Zhang Xiaochun pressed them together.
After a long moment of waiting.
A sharp but heavy clicking sound rang out in the cave.
Behind the water curtain, the stone wall that was once seamless and extremely hard was actually retreating as a whole. Although it was slow, a new hole was finally revealed.
Zhang Xiaochun stepped forward, followed by Dang Kang, who moved very quickly on his short legs.
What comes into view is a stone chamber. On the left are two huge stone statues. One has kind eyes and stands with a smile. His clothes are carved to be as lifelike as if they were blown by the wind. It looks a bit like the Buddhist Guanyin.
The other one has a completely different appearance. It is ferocious and ferocious, with a black face, ghostly horns, eight hands and four heads, and even a trace of blood flowing down the side of its mouth, which makes people shudder.
"This must be the Holy Mother of the Netherworld, the Heavenly Evil King, that the people of the Demon Cult worship!"
Zhang Xiaochun looked at the two stone sculptures without any respect. He waved his sleeves and directly put them into the Hongmeng Space. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Besides, this statue has been worshipped every day by people. What if it is worth a lot of origin?
After passing the stone chamber, there was a cave with upside-down stalactites and strange rocks behind. There were all kinds of strange stalactites in the cave, but Zhang Xiaochun had no interest in appreciating them.
Instead, he looked directly at the huge monument at the entrance of the cave, on which ten large characters were engraved in a flamboyant style:
Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs!
Each of these ten large characters is almost half the size of a person. The writing style is ancient and crude, the brush strokes are vigorous, and they are as straight as dragons and snakes, as if they are rushing forward and roaring into the sky.
"This is the first volume of the Heavenly Book, and it is also the general outline of the Heavenly Book!" Zhang Xiaochun murmured as he touched the stone wall.
"The black-hearted old man did have some abilities, but it's a pity that hundreds of years have passed and he has finally turned into dust!"
"Eternal life, eternal life, this Zhu Xian world is really strange. With such abundant resources, the cultivation of immortals is not systematic. It is like a bud, as if it was cut off and restricted by something." Zhang Xiaochun guessed.
"Could it be that it is really related to that person?"
Zhang Xiaochun shook his head, suppressed his emotions, and stopped thinking about it.
After transcribing for a while, Zhang Xiaochun ruthlessly destroyed the original stone wall, and then looted it, including the Hehuan Bell and many weapons and magic tools that had long been scrapped.
Now the Blood Refining Hall is in a state of disrepair. Even if these magic weapons are scrapped, they can still be used to refine some of the five metal elements.
Then he came out of this bloody hole.
"It's time to find the Black Water Snake!"
Zhang Xiaochun fixed his eyes and looked towards the Merciless Sea.
