Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 366

The land of the other world is empty and desolate.

After a burst of distortion and confusion, Zongya opened his eyes again, and he was already in the underworld.

"..."

There was a dead silence all around, and there was nothing, and the daughter of the underworld who opened the boundary between the world and the underworld and threw him in was nowhere to be seen, as if she had never appeared before.

But they did show up, otherwise he wouldn't have returned to this other world where he had been wandering for two years.

"The taste of Huangquan..."

Hateful taste.

Zonggu opened his mouth, and wisps of power from the underworld surged towards him, merged into his body, and generated new power, sweeping away the fatigue he had accumulated from fighting with several fierce spirits.

"Ah, I am a citizen of Huangquan Kingdom."

Squeezing the hand holding the knife tightly, he could feel that his strength was recovering rapidly, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

Standing where he was, he looked back and forth, but there was nothing.

Looking around again, still can only see a dead silence.

This is a place of nothingness in the underworld, and the power of the underworld is also very thin, so there would be no spirits nearby, and this is also the result of the daughter of the underworld's intentional choice, in order to prevent the spirits inside from taking the opportunity when the boundary is opened. escape.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Soya closed his eyes and opened them again, but the surrounding scene remained unchanged.

He has a thousand ways to prove that he is still awake at this moment, and each way points to the same result: this is not a dream when he fell unconscious.

He was really taken back to Huangquan.

The tip of the knife touched the ground, Sogu raised the blade slightly, hit the ground twice, then raised it sharply, and slashed down heavily.

Ding!
This samurai sword had already suffered a lot of damage in the duel with the fierce spirit, but at this moment it couldn't bear the full blow of his wrath, and it split into two pieces.

"..."

The long sword changed into a medium and short sword, and Soya's anger also subsided by half.

What I have to do now is not to vent, but to find a way to leave here and return to the world.

And the only person who can save him is the master here—the master of Huangquan, Izanami.

The question is, how do I contact her in Huangquan.

"Sure enough, there is no signal..."

Putting away the phone, Soya found that his hands were trembling a little, just like Kirino Akane and Hongzi when they just witnessed the murderous spirit.

"nothing."

He comforted himself, "Hongzi should have seen the process of my disappearance. Even if she can't understand, tell Ling, Ling will understand that I was caught in the underworld, and she will definitely let the teacher come to save me... Well, it's okay .”

Just wait for a while, let the news reach Ju Tianzi, and she will enter the underworld to save him.

Soya forced himself to believe in this, and finally temporarily silenced the fear in his heart.

"Why did it suddenly fail..."

He recalled the direct reason that led to his re-entry into the underworld. With one palm, the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu appeared out of thin air.

At this time, no matter how he controlled it, the Gouyu in his palm was like a dead object, and there was no reaction at all.

"Is it broken?"

Will the artifact break too... Or should he not hold it in the first place?

After holding it in his hand and looking at it for a while, Zonggu put Gouyu back into his body.

"I have to complain to Ling after I go out... I have to leave here first."

The land of nothingness is like an isolated island in the sea, it is small in size, and you can leave here in any direction you go.

Gripping the broken knife tightly, Zongya found the half of the blade that flew out after it broke, and walked towards the direction pointed by the tip of the knife.

After walking forward for more than ten minutes, the power of the underworld gradually became stronger, and some ancient ruins appeared around, and spirit bodies could also be encountered.

Because he didn't know which area of ​​the underworld he was in, Sogu stopped a mild-looking spirit body casually and asked, "Where is this?"

"If you're not blind, you should be able to see it."

He raised the blade and put it on the neck of this inconsistent spirit.

"...It's Huang Quan." The other party suddenly softened a lot.

"I'm asking which area is the southeast and northwest?"

"No, this is Zhongyu."

Zong Gu was stunned for a moment. The Central Region is the area where the Netherworld Hall is located. As the name suggests, it is located in the center of the Netherworld, and its area is much smaller than the four surrounding areas.

Huangquan is vast, wandering for two years, he has never set foot in the Central Territory, he did not expect to appear here when he came back.

Perhaps it would be easier for the Orange Emperor to find him if he waited in the Hall of the Underworld.

Thinking of this, Sogu asked: "Which direction is the Palace of the Underworld?"

The spirit body pointed in a direction.

"Thank you." Sogu put away the knife and walked over there.

After walking for a while, he encountered another spirit body, who stopped him and asked the same question.

"What are you doing in the Palace of the Underworld?"

"I pray that Izanami-sama will send me back to this world."

"Ha, that's interesting." The other party pointed to the direction he came from, "Here."

"..."

Sure enough, I was cheated.

He confirmed it again, "Really?"

"Why are you lying to me? The Central Territory is so big. If you walk here for four or five hours, you will definitely see the Palace of the Underworld." The other party said, "If you don't believe me, I'll go with you."

Soya had already believed most of it, but he didn't refuse.

"Then please."

The most indispensable thing for the spirit body in the underworld is time, because the power of the underworld is maintained, and the speed of consciousness dissipating is also extremely slow.The spirit body that seemed to be about the same age as him might actually be ten or twenty or thirty times his age.

In the boundless underworld, wandering around with nothing to do is the main tone of the "rest of life" of spirits, and being swallowed by evil spirits can be regarded as a touch of color in the monotonous rest of life.

"Is this your first time in Zhongyu, or just arrived in Huangquan?" the man asked.

"It's all." Soya replied.

"Just died?"

"..."

"That will disappoint you, Lord Izanami is no longer in the underworld."

Soya shook his head, "It's good to go and have a look."

"Okay, at least you still have something to pursue." The spirit walking with him claimed to be Sasaki, who looked only 30 or 40 years old, but had actually been dead for more than [-] years, "Now sending you to the Palace of the Underworld is my pursuit. "

"Thank you."

"Where did you get this knife?" Sasaki was a little concerned about the weapon in his hand.

Soya also wanted to know where the evil spirits who attacked Hiei Mountain Pass at night got these weapons, "I picked them up."

"You'd better throw it away, or hide it." Sasaki reminded, "Some spirits will mutate when they see this thing."

"It's okay." Sogu smiled at him, "I have the confidence to keep it."

Sasaki said nothing, and it didn't take long for Soya to prove it to him.

He cut the leaping spirit body in half with a knife, and he put away the knife, Sasaki who was next to him looked at him for a while, "You don't want to kill me, do you?"

"……Won't."

"You are really rare." Sasaki said, "For most spiritual bodies, killing intent is like a key, once you open that door, you can never close it again... You are really different from them."

Soya looked forward, "Because I'm still alive."

Sasaki only thought it was his obsession, and didn't say anything.

The two continued to walk forward, and encountered more and more spirits on the road.

Some turned a blind eye to them, some came over to have a chat, and some tried to sneak attack, just like when he was still wandering here half a year ago.

"Look--"

After walking for more than an hour, Sasaki suddenly stopped and pointed to a large group of spirits gathered not far away.

Zongya looked over, "What are they doing?"

"'Eat'."

Sasaki smiled at him, "You can't understand it in this way. Just watch, you will understand soon."

As he was speaking, the group of spirit bodies suddenly became commotion.

One of the spirit bodies pounced on the other spirit body, bit the latter's head, and began to eat.

Sogu frowned, "Swallow."

"So you know it too."

Sasaki glanced at him, and continued to look over there, "Those are spirit bodies who don't want to 'live' anymore, and they are perfect 'food' for other spirit bodies who want to escape from the underworld."

"Swallow, mutate, evolve continuously, until the power is enough to tear the boundary between the other world and the human world, and then escape... There are only so few people, it is not enough to eat, and I don't know how many spirit bodies he has swallowed before."

"Ah."

"Do you want to continue watching?"

Soya looked over there, "I also want to know if he can escape."

If this spirit body can really tear the boundary, no matter where in the human world the other side is, he will follow it out.

The two stopped here, watching the spirit body gobble up the numb ones until there was no one left.

After "eating", he stood on the spot for a while, the flesh and blood in his body kept agitating, and suddenly he was raised a few points, and his limbs became stronger.

"what!"

Using his hands as claws, he slammed into the void, leaving a few fleeting bright eye marks.

"Wow, has it reached this level?" Sasaki commented, "If you devour tens of thousands of spirit bodies, you will almost be able to break the boundary."

Soya on the side was much more disappointed.

Spiritual bodies that can tear the boundary between the two worlds are extremely rare, and it is impossible to meet them easily, otherwise the world would have been in chaos long ago, he comforted himself in this way.

"Let's go."

"Well, he doesn't seem to want us to leave very much," Sasaki said.

Sogu looked over, and the spirit body also looked at this side, the intention was already very obvious.

"Aren't you afraid?" he asked Sasaki.

"The biggest difference between me and those devoured spirit bodies just now is that I will not take the initiative to die." Looking at the spirit bodies approaching this way, Sasaki has no intention of running away at all, "But if someone really wants to eat me, I will Will not refuse."

"You're really open to seeing."

"After staying in the underworld for a long time, more or less, everyone will have a little urge to self-destruct."

Soya smiled, raised the broken knife, and pointed at the spirit body ahead.

"Don't kill yourself."

"..."

But the other party really stopped, looked at him, and the blade in his hand, turned around and left.

"It scared me away."

"It's hard to devour it to the present level, I guess he doesn't want to take risks."

Sasaki looked over, "Did you really come to Huangquan just now? Why do I feel that you are quite familiar with this place?"

"Two hours ago, I was visiting the festival with my girlfriend."

"Wow, that's really miserable. Let's continue to look for the Palace of the Underworld."

"Ah."

After walking a few steps, Sogu looked back again, and the spirit body had already walked away in another direction.

"He won't leave too far." Sasaki said, "The central region is the place where Master Izanami escaped from the underworld, and the boundary is also the weakest. Spiritual bodies who want to emulate it will come here."

"I see……"

If the strength is enough, there is no need for such tricks, you can break the boundary and escape from anywhere, Soya thought.

For example, that noble son of the moon, he tore a hole somewhere in the Eastern Region, and escaped from Huangquan with him.

"I must be playing a game right now..."

"what?"

"No, I'm talking about my friend."

"If you're lucky, wait a few decades, and he will come to accompany you."

Soya smiled.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to wait."

After walking for a while, Sasaki stopped when he passed a ruined wall, picked up something from the broken wall, and threw it back to Soya.

He raised his hand to catch it, it was a gray steamed bun.

"..."

Holding it in his hand and looking at it for a while, Soya was quite emotional.

"Is it the food of Huangquan?"

There is no chef in the Yellow Spring, all the food is condensed by the power of the Yellow Spring, like some kind of naturally growing mushrooms, regularly appearing on these ruined walls, inexhaustible, never-ending.

"Eat it." Sasaki took a bite, "Although it has no taste, at least it can fill your stomach."

Soya also took a bite and spit it out immediately.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. He has a deep understanding at this moment, "It has no taste at all."

"Haha, just get used to it."

He didn't want to get used to it, so he stood still with his legs open, and threw the steamed bun far away like throwing a baseball.

Sasaki didn't care, anyway, there was food everywhere in the underworld, "You'd better accept it early, although you won't die from starvation, it's still quite uncomfortable."

"Wait until the hunger is unbearable, I will..."

goo—

"..."

From the afternoon till now, he only ate half a marshmallow and a few grapes.

Sasaki picked up another steamed bun and threw it over.

After a few seconds of silence, Soya still bit down.

As long as you eat a bite of Huangquan food, you will become a citizen of Huangquan country, and whether you eat or not after that will not change this result.

"It's unpalatable."

He swallowed, "It's really unpalatable. It's unpalatable."

"I said, if you complain like this, I can't eat it anymore."

"It's unpalatable!"

"I really can't help you..."

"It's unpalatable... cough cough! cough cough!"

After eating a simple and tasteless meal, the two set off again and continued to walk in the direction of the Underworld Hall.

When he reached a wider ruin, Sasaki stopped and looked left and right, "Have you arrived here yet... Walk this way for about two hours, and you will see the Palace of the Underworld."

Soya let out a long breath, "There are still two hours left."

"You think two hours is a long time now, but you will find out later that it is nothing at all. Sometimes it may take a few days to pass in a daze, and there is no difference between day and night here." Sasaki said.

Soya shook his head, "My life is limited."

"Are you still talking like this? It seems that only time will make you understand this."

He smiled and didn't say much.

After walking for more than two hours and turning over a small slope, Sogu finally saw the phantom-like hall in the distance.

"It will take a lot of time to go from here."

"In the past? Impossible." Sasaki pointed to the front, "Look at those Netherworld soldiers, although they are motionless now, like statues, but as soon as they approach, they will 'wake up', expel or even kill the spirits who try to approach the Netherworld Hall body."

"..."

Zonggu looked over, and saw countless Huangquan troops forming a phalanx, neatly arranged in front of the Huangquan hall, silent and motionless, like an army waiting for inspection.

"Is it like this all around the hall?"

"Yes."

After watching for a while, Soya turned to look at Sasaki: "Thank you for bringing me here."

Sasaki was startled, but quickly realized that this meant saying goodbye.

"Are you still going to go?"

"I want to try."

Sasaki didn't dissuade, but just reminded: "When you see the reaction of the Huangquan army, don't get close. If you get closer, they will drive them away until they kill the intruders. If you run away, they won't chase you." come out."

"Thank you."

Soya thanked him again, Sasaki raised his toe and tapped the ground in front of him.

"I'll just wait here. If you go too deep, I won't be able to collect your corpse...Of course, we won't have any corpses either."

Sogu smiled, then raised the broken knife and walked towards the Hall of the Underworld.

Arriving here, the power of the underworld has also become more intense.

The Senran Great Hall and countless Netherworld Army in the distance are shrouded in a layer of faint gray mist, Zong Gu feels like he is going deep into the Demon Realm.

Continuing to approach, after a few minutes, he could already see the face of the Huang Quan army on the outermost periphery.

Looking back, Sasaki was standing far away on the small slope, staring at this side, the distance between them was about 500 meters.

Now it should be close to the range of Huang Quanjun's alert.Sogu slowed down, focused all his attention on the natural spirit body in front of him, and slowly approached.

They just kept getting close to the distance where Huang Quanjun raised his halberd and stabbed him to death, but they didn't respond.

Sogu was a little surprised, guessing in his heart that this might be related to the divine power of the eight thunders in his body, and then he hesitated.

Although this distance is already very dangerous, he can still react, and if he continues to go deeper, once these Huangquan troops suddenly attack, he will have nowhere to escape.

"It's been more than four hours..."

He has fallen into the underworld for four hours, and the Orange Emperor still hasn't appeared.

Is it because the news hasn't reached her yet?

And where did Suzu go...

"Hey--"

He turned his head, and Sasaki ran over here, "How did you do it—"

Zongya was startled, and quickly issued a reminder: "Don't come over!"

Sasaki didn't stop, he ran closer and closer, and the statue-like Huang Quanjun beside him finally responded.

First Qi Qi woke up, then they all raised their halberds, put on a gesture of driving away, and finally smashed at Sasaki together.

"So you are special..."

He looked at him, and then at the halberd that was about to fall above his head.

"So that's how I died."

boom!
"..."

Soya watched silently.

After destroying the intruders, the Huangquan army put away their long halberds and returned to him in unison, returning to silence.

"Am I 'special'..."

Taking a deep breath, Sogu turned around and walked into the formation of the Underworld Army, and rushed towards the Underworld Hall.

The Huang Quan army on both sides remained silent and did not respond to his advances.

"hiss!"

As he kept getting closer, he suddenly felt a scorching heat on his arm, which made him shiver.

And the same feeling also came from the chest.

Immediately afterwards, an unstoppable strong killing intent dilutes his ecstasy and rises rapidly in his heart.

He also suddenly understood the reason why Tsukiyomi could not sense Eight Thunder Gods.

"So... you all hid in the underworld."
