Jiaochu

Chapter 545 Underworld Seal

Ninety thousand souls, the gate of the underworld opens.

Such a spectacular scene deeply shocked everyone on the ship, and the next moment this shock turned into extreme fear.

Because there was a huge ice-blue eyeball in the whirlpool, as if a giant sea beast had opened its eyes. A huge suction force dragged the warships into the center of the whirlpool, but in just a few seconds, dozens of warships disappeared, and then the whirlpool disappeared, and the sea returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, like a mirage, and it disappeared as soon as you opened your eyes.

……

However, when everyone opened their eyes, they were all dark and could not see anything. They had not yet recovered from the dizziness.

Yan Fei felt his palm touching the cold ground, and then he reached forward and touched another person's hand. It was dark all around and he couldn't see anything clearly, nor did he know whose hand it was. The hand moved away immediately after he touched it, and he also took his hand back. Although he couldn't see who it was, he instinctively rejected the physical contact just now.

At this time, a blue halo lit up around him. After seeing clearly who was next to him, Yan Fei had a gloomy face, as if he had eaten a fly. He put his hands on his clothes and rubbed them hard. Murong Ze also took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. They both seemed to be quite disgusted with the physical contact just now.

Yan Fei went to find Ye Qingran first, and after Murong Ze wiped his hands, he didn't even want the handkerchief.

There are steps in front, and twelve sacred pillars on each side, each carved with exquisite and intricate patterns. At the end of the sacred pillars is a big door. The patterns carved on it are not very clear, but from a distance it looks like a big fish with its head and tail connected.

She and Xia Yuan stood at the front, looking fine, as if they had not experienced the dizziness just now. Both of them were looking at the door at the end of the stairs. The difference was that one pair of pupils was lit with a fanatical and excited light, while the other pair of eyes seemed too calm, so calm that it seemed a little sad.

"Is the treasure in there?" The empress dowager's majestic voice came from behind the two of them, supported by Yan Lianjue. Although she had just experienced a drastic change, the empress dowager still maintained a calm demeanor. Li Chengyuan also came over from behind and stood a little behind the empress dowager, and Yan Miao followed behind him.

Ye Qingran stood a little further away, while Yan Fei and Murong Ze stood on each side.

"Everyone, the treasure is behind the door." Xia Yuan turned around and said, his expression returning to normal.

All pairs of eyes were fixed on the big door at the end of the stairs. There was curiosity, greed, excitement, and vigilance. The legendary treasure was right before their eyes, but no one took the first step onto the stairs. They were all waiting for someone to take the lead and explore the way.

Xia Yuan walked up the stairs first, and she followed. Seeing the two of them walking in front, the others followed one after another. The empress dowager was in front, still supported by Yan Lianjue, Li Chengyuan and Yan Miao were in the middle, and Ye Qingran and Yan Fei and Murong Ze were behind. Yan Fei looked at her back, and she seemed to be out of reach after a few steps.

"Are we in the sea or on the land now?" Li Chengyuan asked.

Yan Miao said: "This place is neither land nor sea, I'm afraid it's not in the mortal world."

She said, "That's the gate of hell. You can get in but you can't get out."

No one had thought about the gates of hell yet, but after hearing what she said, they looked at the door and it really looked like the gates of hell. Under the reflection of the faint blue light, it even more had a feeling of "the underworld".

The carved pattern on the door gradually became clear. It was not a big fish connected head to tail, but a human body with a fish tail. It was the legendary mermaid. Holding a round mirror in hand, the huge mermaid tail wrapped around the round mirror in a circle, lifelike, as if alive, as tall as two people, which made people feel scared. There was no gap on the door, which was connected to the steps as a whole. Even if you want to pry it open with tools, you can't find a place to start. Moreover, the door is nine meters high. People in front of it are like ants trying to shake a tree. "I thought this mermaid was just a thing in myths and legends, but I didn't expect to see it here." Li Chengyuan looked at the lifelike mermaid on the door, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he became extremely frightened in an instant. It was not until Yan Miao called him three times that his soul came back. After calming down, he asked cautiously, "Is this thing alive?"

"What did the emperor see?" Yan Miao asked.

Li Chengyuan said, "Is there some mechanism on the eye? I seemed to see it move a little just now. Maybe it is a mechanism to open the door."

Murong Ze said, "Your Majesty must be dazzled. Why didn't I see the eyes move?" He added, "Perhaps what Your Majesty said just now offended the gods of this place. Your Majesty should apologize first."

Li Chengyuan said: "I never believe in ghosts and gods."

Murongze smiled and said, "I'd rather believe it."

Xia Yuan said: "This thing has a spirit, you and I need to be respectful in front of it. If we wake up other things, it will be a bad ending."

After hearing the last two sentences, Li Chengyuan felt a little frightened. He looked around and it seemed that there was an unknown monster lurking behind the faint blue halo. The more he looked, the creepier it seemed to him, so he stopped arguing with Murong Ze.

"Sir, since you know how to open the door, please do it quickly. If you delay for too long, you may not be able to go back." said the Queen Mother.

This word woke Li Chengyuan up. He admired the empress dowager even more and her views on the problem were very sharp.

Xia Yuan took out something from his sleeve and held it in his palm. Everyone looked at the thing in his palm, which was a jet-black seal. No one else recognized it, but Yan Fei had seen it many years ago, but he still remembered every detail clearly. It was the first time Ye Lingxi opened her heart to him, and the gem box left by Mijia at that time contained such a thing.

"Yellow Spring Seal." Yan Fei slowly uttered three words, and everyone's eyes shifted to his face again. Xia Yuan nodded and said, "That's right. If you want to open the gates of hell, ask for the Yellow Spring Seal first." Yan Fei said, "How did this thing get into your hands?" Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It was originally mine." Yan Fei looked into those warm eyes, but saw in them an unfathomable monster. Who knows how many lives he has lived, and who knows how long ago he started planning all this. Terrible is not enough to describe him.

"Axue, stretch out your hand." She stretched out her hand, and Xia Yuan placed the Yellow Spring Seal in her hand. The blue mark on her forehead suddenly lit up, and a ray of blue light flowed from the mark into the Yellow Spring Seal. The seal suddenly lit up, and the black outer layer began to fall off, like an old tree that has regained its vitality, revealing the new green branches inside, and what was revealed in front of everyone was the true appearance of the Yellow Spring Seal.

The green is better than jadeite, its brilliance is awe-inspiring, the jade is born in the blue sky, and its reflection shines on the underworld.

It is the fairy jade in myths and legends, coming from the blue sky of heaven. The sky is the most respected on earth, and when the seal of the underworld appears, the door to the earth will open.

The dazzling Yellow Spring Seal flew from her palm to the mermaid on the gate. When the mermaid's eyes were illuminated by the light of the seal, the mermaid's tail actually swam as if it were alive. This strange sight opened everyone's eyes.

When the mermaid on the door stopped swimming, the round mirror that was originally held above its head moved in front of it.

"Close your eyes." Xia Yuan closed his eyes, and the others also closed their eyes.

However, the people below the stairs were caught off guard and were illuminated by the sudden surge of light in the round mirror. The light continued to surge, shining on the people as if it had materialized and had weight. Everything around them was wrapped in this dazzling white color, and nothing could be seen.
