Chapter 223: Underworld, Fragments of the Ten Thousand Demon Wheel

Chapter 223: Underworld, Fragments of the Ten Thousand Demon Wheel
It fell with Zhou Paner's last chant.

The strange stone finally turned completely reddish-brown. The stone trembled slightly, and then it clicked like a door lock. The stone slowly turned, and a deep cave appeared in front of them. The cave was so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Fu Shaoping slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Several moonstones are inlaid on the stone wall.

The cave passage suddenly became bright.

However, traces of burning caused by lightning could be clearly seen on the stone wall.

The passage seemed endless as if it had no end in sight.

After Fu Shaoping helped Zhou Paner enter the cave, the three of them walked forward. When they reached the end, they found that the surroundings suddenly became gloomy and cold, with gusts of cold wind and even the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.

Fu Shaoping was stunned.

"This feeling"

Like the underworld of chaotic space.

Could it be.

This passage leads to the underworld. Why did the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox ancestor seal the fragments of the Ten Thousand Demons Wheel in the underworld?

Feeling the biting cold all around.

This time, Zhou Pan'er did not wait for Fu Shaoping and others to speak, and said directly:
"Shaoping, Granny Xue, let's go. We won't be looking for the fragments of the Wan Yao Wheel anymore. Let's go back the same way we came."

Ghosts were crying all around.

It looks like an ominous place at first glance.

Grandma Xue was still seriously injured.

She didn't want something like the previous Hurricane Leili to happen again.

Fu Shaoping patted Zhou Paner comfortingly:
"Pan'er, you and Granny Xue go out first."

Grandma Xue was seriously injured and Zhou Pan'er had lost too much blood. They were both weak at the moment and most vulnerable to invasion by evil spirits. It was not suitable for them to stay in this underworld for long.

Zhou Pan'er grabbed Fu Shaoping tightly:
"No, Shao Ping, you don't have to take risks for me. Let's leave together."

Ningning can't live without her father.

She didn't want her daughter to be like her.

Fu Shaoping looked into Zhou Paner's eyes steadily:
"Pan'er, you have followed me for so long, and you have never seen me being reckless or overestimating my own abilities. Don't worry, if I am outmatched, I will retreat immediately."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Xue looked at Fu Shaoping for a second longer.

Fu Shaoping was able to say this because he was a responsible person. He also looked very confident and obviously had a trump card in his hand. This trump card should be the reason why he was able to survive the thunderstorm.

Therefore.

Without waiting for Zhou Paner to reply.

Granny Snow said:
"Okay, Shao Ping, you must be careful."

talking.

Grandma Xue took Zhou Paner and left through the passage.

After the two figures disappeared.

Fu Shaoping raised his foot and stepped into the underworld ahead.

at the same time.

A thought.

Summoned all the fierce ghosts in the temple of the underworld.

Fu Shaoping scanned his body with his spiritual sense and found that the other party's Yin power had actually recovered to its peak. He couldn't help but be surprised:
"Wanxiang, your Yin energy recovery speed is so fast..."

"Reporting to the master, unlike the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, in the underworld, especially in the temple, I feel that practicing is twice as effective with half the effort, and the speed is very fast."

Vientiane looked delighted.

He turned his head and looked around, then exclaimed:
"Master, are we in the underworld?"

I've been in the underworld for a long time.

He sensed this familiar breath immediately.

Fu Shaoping nodded slightly.

Subsequently.

Let the fierce ghost Wanxiang lead the way ahead following the guidance of the jade talisman.

After walking about a few miles forward.

The Yin energy was obviously getting thicker. Fu Shaoping swept his spiritual sense and saw several Yakshas smelling the human scent and wanting to make a move, but after their eyes fell on the fierce ghost Wanxiang, they tactfully retreated one by one.

The fierce ghost is at the fourth level.

The cultivation level of Yuandan realm.

Naturally, these little devils didn't dare to act rashly.

But as more and more little ghosts gathered, Fu Shaoping frowned. If he continued, he might not be able to do it properly, so he frowned and said immediately:
"Vanxiang, use flying."

Follow the guidance of the jade talisman.

There seems to be still a long way to go.

The fierce ghost Wanxiang responded, and with a few hissing sounds from his shoulder socket, black wings broke out of his body and flew away with Fu Shaoping. In the blink of an eye, he left the little ghosts who surrounded him behind.

After flying for a distance.

There was a sudden sound of dog barking coming from the front.

But then I saw a mountain a hundred feet high.

Closer.

Only then did they discover that this mountain was made up of piles of bones.

Fu Shaoping couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

The master and servant just approached.

But there was a gust of cold wind.

The sound of dogs barking continued.

A number of vicious dogs rushed out from the mountains, with sharp mouths and fangs, their bodies were as fierce as wolves and tigers, their eyes emitting oily green light, and they were staring at Fu Shaoping and his servant.

The scene before my eyes.

It reminded him of a folk legend.

It is said that dogs are spiritual creatures and are the medium for communication between the yin and yang worlds.

Dogs can see ghosts from the underworld.

People who keep dogs will find that they will never sleep on a warm kang, because they are there to alert ghosts to approach the yard. Whenever a ghost approaches, the dog will bark wildly to scare the ghost away, thus protecting the family.

The high mountain in front of us should be the legendary Evil Dog Ridge, which is specially used to intercept the souls heading to the underworld.

"Vientiane, fly higher."

Fu Shaoping didn't want to cause any trouble.

I planned to just ignore it and fly over it from high altitude.

Wanxiang responded and flapped its wings. The black wings flapped violently, and in an instant it was above the Evil Dog Ridge.

at this time.

Fu Shaoping glanced down.

But I saw that the eyes of these vicious dogs were full of sarcasm and mockery:
"wrong!"

Fu Shaoping was alert.

He immediately slapped the storage bag, and with a flash of light, a flying sword fell into his hand.

at this time.

Suddenly, a terrifying suction force came from the mountains below.

Wanxiang's body became unstable and he was falling rapidly. It was obvious that there was a flying ban on this Evil Dog Ridge.

Fu Shaoping clasped his hands together, and the surging vital energy condensed into a green vine. The vine fell to the ground as fast as lightning, and with this force, it dodged the vicious dog waiting below.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The vicious dog pounced on nothing.

Turn around immediately.

However, they trembled slightly, and the green hair on their bodies immediately shot out, turning into sharp arrows that came towards Fu Shaoping in an overwhelming manner. There was a small green flame at the end of these sharp arrows.

Although far away.

But Fu Shaoping still felt a dull pain in his soul:
"Don't get caught by these green flames!"

Fu Shaoping struck the ground with his palm.

Rumble!
Countless bones surged up from deep underground, and in a flash they piled up around him to form a protective wall of bones.

Ding Ding Ding!
Thousands of arrows rained down on the wall of bones.

The wall of bones collapsed.

It even only blocked it for a moment.

"Roar!"

crucial moment.

The fierce ghost's Wanxiang magic technique changed and he roared.

His nose was stretching out like an elephant's trunk. With a sharp flick of his nose, a terrifying suction force was emitted. The vicious dogs that had been flying towards him screamed in fear. Their souls were pulled into milky white threads, which were all absorbed by Wanxiang's nose. In a blink of an eye, the bodies of the nearest vicious dogs turned into a cloud of white smoke with a bang and were completely absorbed by Wanxiang's long nose. "Woof woof woof!"

The vicious dog retreated again and again, not daring to go any further.

but.

The green light in their eyes became even brighter.

Fu Shaoping narrowed his eyes, and without waiting for them to attack again, he immediately started to practice the Panlong Jue.

The totem on my arm immediately became hot!

A yellow light condensed in the sky.

"Roar!"

The little white dragon jumped out from the yellow light and swung its tail at the vicious dog that was blocking its way.

"Wang Wang Wang"

The vicious dog blocking the road had no time to react and was instantly beaten to ashes.

The master and servant killed all who stood in their way. Seeing that half of their companions had been lost, the vicious dogs, who were originally very aggressive, began to retreat back into the mountains and hide.
"go!"

Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief.

Without wasting a moment, he retracted the spell and immediately started practicing the Cloud-ascending Step, crossing the Evil Dog Ridge at an extremely fast speed.

After coming down from the mountains.

Fu Shaoping looked back.

But I saw it on the top of the mountain.

At this time, tens of thousands of vicious dogs were kneeling at the feet of a vicious dog that was as tall as a tiger:
"This is?"

Fu Shaoping's pupils shrank.

Apparently there are higher-level beings in Evil Dog Ridge.

This underworld is really extremely dangerous.

He looked down at the jade talisman, and saw that the distance indicated by the jade talisman seemed to be very close, but with each step forward he found that it was still a long distance to the destination.

"belch"

The fierce ghost Wanxiang retracted his long nose, transformed into his original appearance, and burped with satisfaction.

Fu Shaoping could sense an unfriendly gaze coming from behind him. This gaze was filled with overwhelming hatred. It came from the tiger-like vicious dog. The vicious dog's eyes were full of humanity and a bit familiar:
"Could it be that the evil man I got rid of before is living in this evil dog?"

Fu Shaoping didn't want to delve into it.

Don't stay here for long:
"Vientiane, let's go, and continue on our way."

"Yes, Master!"

After the fierce ghost Wanxiang had a hearty meal, his cultivation level obviously improved a little. He was in a good mood and spread his wings to fly high again.

It flew less than a few hundred meters.

A foul smell came.

Fu Shaoping looked down.

But what I saw was a ravine that stretched endlessly, filled with blood and flesh:
"The Corpse-Smashing Valley?"

He had seen it in ancient books.

These are humans who accidentally entered the underworld. They were captured by the golden rooster of Jinji Mountain, torn into pieces and thrown into this place.

In other words.

Jinji Mountain is not far ahead.

Fu Shaoping frowned slightly.

Whether it is Evil Dog Ridge or Golden Rooster Mountain, they are just checkpoints on the way to the underworld.

In other words, although the place he is in now is the underworld, he has not yet entered the real underworld.

If there really is an underworld.

There will be four great soul messengers, namely the Soul-Catching Messenger, the Soul-Ferrying Messenger, the Soul-Snatching Messenger and the Soul-Eating Messenger; there are also four great judges headed by Judge Cui, the Ten Kings of Hell, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Four Ghost Kings, and even the nineteenth level of hell which is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, the residence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Legend has it that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said that he would not become a Buddha until hell is empty.

Just thinking about it made Fu Shaoping feel his scalp tingling.

After flying over the Meat-Break Ravine.

Sure enough, a Golden Rooster Mountain appeared before my eyes.

"Gu Gu Gu"

The sound of roosters crowing could be heard from Rooster Mountain.

As soon as the master and servant appeared.

The rooster in the mountains flapped its wings and actually flew up.

Fu Shaoping said quickly:
"Vanxiang, fly higher, higher!"

Although roosters can fly, they cannot fly as high as Wanxiang. They can only see a dense layer of roosters following them below. After passing Rooster Mountain for several hundred meters, these flying roosters finally gave up and left.

Fu Shaoping was relieved.

But the jade talisman in his hand trembled slightly:
“Is this a close distance?”

Fu Shaoping was overjoyed.

Running all the way.

He didn't want to return empty-handed:
"Vientiane, land."

The jade talisman points to the underground.

After landing from the air.

There were sounds of flowing water.

A vast expanse of yellow appeared before Fu Shaoping's eyes, and the sound of water rolling in was like a tidal wave.
"what happened?"

Fu Shaoping hurriedly sat on Wanxiang's back again and let him fly. At the same time, he covered the two of them with an invisibility cloak, and their figures instantly disappeared.

at this time.

The sound of running water became clearer.

But I saw a Yellow River rising up from the ground. The water was turbid and there was fog above it.

Fu Shaoping's throat rolls:
"Isn't this Huangquan?"

The rolling yellow spring suddenly surged out from the ground.

at this time.

The void changed.

However, a pier appeared above Huangquan River. On the pier, an old woman was folding a paper boat. As the paper boat was put into the Huangquan River, it immediately transformed into a small boat. Two white lanterns hanging high on the pier emitted bright green light.

Under the green light.

A ghost in official uniform appeared, holding a long soul-locking rope in his hand. The back of the rope was tied to the ghosts of old and young, men and women, one by one. They walked up to the dock in a daze and stepped into the boat.

The boat floated downstream.

After a wave of ghosts were sent away.

The ghost officer bowed to the old woman at the dock, then disappeared in a flash.

Fu Shaoping held his breath, and breathed a sigh of relief when the ghost left, feeling lucky that he hadn't noticed.

but.

Look down.

However, the direction indicated by the jade talisman was exactly the downstream of Huangquan:
"Do I have to cross the river too?"

But he is not a ghost, so how can he get on the ship?

at this time.

The old woman who was folding paper boats on the dock suddenly looked up at where Fu Shaoping was. Her voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, eerie and chilling:
"My friend, you have been hiding in the dark and watching for a long time, but you have to cross the river. If you don't get on the boat, the Yellow Spring River will be closed."

The other party actually discovered his hiding place early in the morning!

Fu Shaoping felt a chill in his heart all of a sudden.

This trip to the underworld really opened his eyes.

Since he had already been discovered, there was no need to hide it. Fu Shaoping put away his invisibility cloak and bowed to the old woman:
"Senior, what do I have to pay to cross the river?"

There is no free lunch in the world.

Fu Shaoping didn't believe that the old woman in front of him would be so kind as to send him across the river safely.

The old woman grinned.

But what I saw was that there were thousands of ghosts struggling in her mouth.

Fu Shaoping got goosebumps when he saw it.

The old woman looked at Fu Shaoping meaningfully:
"If a living person wants to cross the river, he only needs one ghost money. If he wants to return, he needs three ghost money."

Ghost money?

Is it paper money?
Fu Shaoping slapped his storage bag, and a pile of yellow paper suddenly appeared in his hand.

When the old woman saw this, her smiling eyes suddenly turned cold:
"My dear, are you kidding me again?"

at this time.

But I heard a few ding sounds.

Six ancient coins fell from the copper plate in front of the old woman, with runes imprinted on the front and back of the coins.
