Chapter 286 Netherworld
Li Yuan bowed slightly:
"I guess this brother must be the famous Netherworld Bull Head."
"I am the Mountain God of Anshan. I came here with a decree from Heaven to do something."
He showed the golden decree in his hand.
Niutou glanced at it briefly but didn't expose it.
"Since there is a formal order, I will not stop you."
In this netherworld, immortals and gods would come from time to time with tokens to handle private matters. It had seen quite a few of them.
This kind of thing is especially common before and after a catastrophe.
Niutou took a few steps back and waved his hand.
At the far end of the deep path, a thousand-foot-high dark door slowly opened.
"This is the gate to the underworld, specially for immortals and gods to pass through."
Seeing that Li Yuan was curious, Niutou explained briefly.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan smiled kindly, bowed, and presented something full of vitality.
The immortals in the underworld love these living things the most.
On the side, some wandering souls were staring at me quietly.
The Bullhead remained calm and said, "Don't use these things to bribe me, the old Bull!"
Li Yuan chuckled and bowed to apologize.
He put these things aside, said nothing, and slowly walked towards the dark gate in the distance.
When Li Yuan left and there was no one else around, Niutou drove away the wandering souls with a look of disdain.
Then, when they left, those spiritual creatures had disappeared.
Li Yuan's immortal power surged, and he was slightly floating on the path, without his feet being stained by dust.
Soon, he passed through the dark portal.
"stop!"
As soon as he passed through the dark gate, Li Yuan was stopped by someone.
A tall humanoid being with a horse face walked out of the darkness.
"I guess you are the Horse-Faced One of the Underworld."
Li Yuan bowed, took out the imperial edict, and began to be polite again.
The Horse-Faced Guard did not let him go, but instead took a mirror and looked Li Yuan up and down.
This is a bone-reflecting mirror. All ghosts, goblins, monsters and monsters will reveal themselves.
This underworld is related to the reincarnation of souls in the three realms, and the inspection is very strict.
Li Yuan was naturally not afraid.
I saw bursts of fairy light on the bone mirror, and it turned into a stone that was overflowing with fairy light.
That was Li Yuan's original appearance before he became a god, a piece of stubborn stone.
After a few questions from the horse-faced guard and confirmation that everything was correct, he let Li Yuan pass.
Li Yuan had presented some spiritual objects when he was being polite.
Fortunately, Anshan is now prosperous, with rich spiritual energy and many spiritual objects.
Otherwise, if you make a trip, you might lose all your family assets.
Behind this dark gate is a winding path.
The Horse-Faced Guard took advantage of Li Yuan and followed slightly behind him, and was reminded of this.
"This is the dream path of the netherworld. The souls of the mortal world pass through it and have a beautiful dream, which dispels some of the resentment."
"You are a god from heaven. As long as you use your power, you won't be afraid."
Li Yuan turned around and gave Ma Mian a kind smile to express his gratitude.
He naturally didn't want his past to be exposed, so he used his magical power to pass through.
The Skeleton Guide also reminded people implicitly not to let their life be recorded in the underworld.
The horse-faced soldier escorted Li Yuan for a while and then continued his patrol and guard duty.
Li Yuan came to the end of the Dream Path and met a ghost official.
At the end of the Dream Path is a fork in the road.
The ghost official was guarding the fork in the road, his face was ferocious and filled with murderous intent.
"The road to heaven or the road to the netherworld, you can choose whichever you like!"
Souls passed by on the winding path from time to time. The ghost official did not pay special attention to Li Yuan. He spoke briefly and in a cold voice.
The fork in the road on the left is filled with fairy light and a peaceful atmosphere.
The fork on the right was shrouded in dark fog, dark and scary.
These are two roads leading to the underworld. After passing through the Dream Path, the living soul has its own choice.
Among them, the blooming of red spider lilies has its own hardships.
Li Yuan chuckled, revealing a fairy spirit, and gave some spiritual objects:
"I will not choose...I will follow the recommendation of my brother, the ghost official."
When the ghost official heard the word "little god", he started to pay attention and couldn't help but laugh.
"He was originally a righteous god from heaven, but it was the little devil who offended him."
The ghost official showed a kind smile, but his ferocious face looked extremely terrifying.
Li Yuan was also used to their terrifying smiles, and both sides looked friendly.
"Since it is done by immortals and gods, there is no need for polishing."
"Please take this road, sir."
The ghost official moved aside and waved his hand, and a road appeared at the end of the path.
This is the path of illusion and dream leading to the ghost town in the underworld. The so-called road to heaven and the underworld are just a test for the living souls.
Li Yuan chuckled, exchanged a few polite words with the ghost official, and flew to the road that connected the front.
Soon, Li Yuan crossed the road, flew over a gloomy and terrifying forest, and came to a huge city.
“Ghost Town Number One.”
The corner of Li Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.
What genius came up with this simple name?
There were secret guards at the city gate.
Li Yuan gave his name and showed the official order, and was naturally allowed to pass.
There are hundreds of thousands of ghosts living in Ghost Town No. 1.
There are limited places for reincarnation, and these souls cannot get a number; or because they have good karma and do not want to reincarnate, they are allowed to live and survive in the ghost town.
Although they are dead, they also have a set of systems in this underworld, which is quite novel.
Of course, when there is room in the six realms of reincarnation or when the good karma is exhausted, these souls will have to reincarnate.
Unless you are noticed by the underworld and recruited by them.
In the ghost town, a ghost officer received the news and came to receive them.
After some polite exchanges, he learned the purpose of Li Yuan's visit.
"The Yellow Springs Road has nine branches, which is the maximum number on earth."
"The incomplete soul of Anshan..."
Gui Si pondered for a while and sent people to investigate.
Not long after, the news was confirmed and he came back to tell Li Yuan.
"You should go from Ghost Town No. 6, cross the Rebirth Pond No. 6, pass the Three-Life Stone No. 6, and go to the Yellow Spring Road No. 6."
"In the outer area of Yellow Spring Road No. 6, we should be able to find the remnant souls of Anshan."
"Those whose three souls and seven spirits are not complete are usually ranked at the end of the list."
"If the soul is still incomplete, it will probably take thousands of years for it to enter reincarnation."
Gui Si called out a list of names and also told Li Yuan some things.
Li Yuan took note of it, exchanged some polite words, and then left the ghost town through the teleportation spell.
"This underworld has many branches."
Li Yuan sighed softly.
At the side, there was a ghost who was also teleported here. He didn't know Li Yuan's identity and couldn't help but chuckle after hearing it.
The sound was like the scraping of rubble.
"if not?"
"The souls of the three realms are countless. If we don't create more branches, how can we save them all?"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "That's true."
Following Gui Si's advice, he came to Ghost Town No. 6.
However, something seemed to be happening in Ghost Town No. 6.
Many ghost officials gathered there, and a ban was issued in the city, allowing people to enter but not leave.
Li Yuan would not do anything and would just wait quietly.
After listening to the words of the souls staying in the ghost town nearby, I learned that an evil ghost had escaped from the prison.
The ghost town is vast, with one of the streets being more than ten meters wide.
In front of me, I saw more than ten ghost officials surrounding and trapping the soul of a ferocious giant beast.
The soul that looked like a giant beast obviously had lost its conscious will and continued to attack and surround.
"I heard that this beast soul was once a ghost messenger."
"It seems that he committed a crime and was thrown into prison for a hundred years, and then he went crazy."
The souls beside them were talking slowly, one after another.
Li Yuan stood among a pile of souls and restrained his immortal light.
To prevent the immortal energy from dissipating and shattering these fragile souls.
Just at this moment, the giant beast's soul went crazy and knocked several ghost officials away, rushing towards Li Yuan.
The group of souls were suddenly frightened and fled in all directions.
