Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

Chapter 169 Reaching the highest city in the underworld!

However, although it did not attract the immediate attention of the outside world, for those attending the festival who knew the meaning of this vision, it brought their hearts to their throats.

In the venue, there are dozens of black lotus pedestals made of rare treasures. Each pedestal is equivalent to a port connecting the underworld. Standing on the pedestal, the selected person can receive the initiation of the huge power of the underworld. , comprehend the true meaning between life and death, and look for the glimmer of opportunity to explore the road to ascension.

Such an opportunity is very dangerous for most people. If you are not careful, you may become obsessed with it, or your whole body and soul may be injected into other people's bodies and become part of the sacrifice and nourishment.

This is why the number of places every year is limited. First, because the cost of the lotus pedestal is high. It is a carrot and a pit, and it has long been named. Second, if people like the reviewing elders who have also experienced empowerment can see it, Those who fail will probably not be able to survive safely after the initiation, and they are just wasting a precious opportunity.

The combination of the two creates a harsh threshold.

At this time, the lotus pedestal was already full of people, and everyone was very energetic, silently recalling the words of their respective masters in their minds, making sure that there were no mistakes.

"The big one is coming."

Henlie swallowed and looked at Jiang Lu beside him: "Don't be nervous."

As if nothing had happened, Jiang Lu looked at Hen Lie whose legs were shaking uncontrollably, with a calm face: "I'm not nervous."

The next moment, Jiang Lu felt that the soles of his feet were firmly sucked onto the lotus platform.

He said this with a face full of joking, and then saluted the owner of the Star Observation Building in a mocking manner:

This is a kind of self-confidence of the relationship!

"Then what." Hen Lie raised his head and looked at the stargazing building owner who was about to end the ceremony and begin the initiation. He was sweating profusely and started to look for words: "How do you feel now?"

So compared to other people who were beginning to show a bit of a loss, they were relatively calm.

"what?"

He finally understood.

Jiang Lu lightly stamped his feet and glanced at the lotus platform with his peripheral vision: "It feels like piloting a mecha in Pacific Rim."

But what surprised him was that he didn't feel any movement from beginning to end.

After saying that, he looked at Ling Ling and Zizhu in the women's area on the other side.

Although the current progress is very smooth, the protector's face does not show any relief, but is full of gloom:

"Then... there are immortals."

"Below the immortals, I am invincible! Above the immortals, one for one!"

Although he is wearing a blindfold now, in his consciousness, everything on Qingyou Mountain is invisible!

"I don't even know who you are fighting."

The man raised his head, shielded the sun with his hands, and squinted past the stargazing building master, as if he could see the sect master who had hidden his figure in the clouds using a secret method.

"Immortals can't ravage the fire of karma like this."

Then, Jiang Lu also started to fidget uncontrollably.

"They should have successfully entered the spiritual world."

"what?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu suddenly turned his head to look at Hen Lie, only to see that his whole body was shaking like chaff and his eyes were starting to become blurry.

But at this moment, the owner of the stargazing building suddenly called him and cursed in a hurried tone: "What on earth are you doing? Someone has entered the festival and you didn't fucking notice it?!"

"Immortal, this is definitely an immortal!"

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. As he intensified his search efforts, a smile appeared on his lips.

But he was actually strolling in the fire of karma, not affected at all.

The disciples who participated in the ceremony may not know it, but the owner of the Star Gazing Building knows that this is the most deadly and essential karmic fire in the heavenly tribulation. A single spark may burn to death a monk in the Mahayana period.

As he summoned a thunderbolt, it struck the large formation in the center of the venue. The sacrifices on the formation immediately began to burn. This meant that the formation had been established, and a steady stream of huge spiritual power was being drawn from the various sacrifices. Extract it and pour it into the lotus platform.

And this feeling seemed familiar to him.

Why does it feel like touching the switch when I was a child?

After that, he walked straight to the center of the formation.

“The place between life and death is achieved by fucking electrocution???”

"Where are the people?" The side effects of the exercises practiced by the over-self-aware sect master began to show up: "Are they frightened by my domineering aura and dare not make mistakes?"

"Are you sick?" The owner of Stargazing Building couldn't hold himself back: "I don't know when the immortal came in!!"

"He's definitely scared, Jie Jie Jie!"

Fortunately, Jiang Lu took the time to tell them everything he knew about the festival, including various previous failures and their reasons.

During the ceremony, the owner of Guanxing Tower, who presided over the entire ceremony, could not move at all. He could only look down with a pale expression on the young man in white robes pacing among the Bailiu Sect disciples who were in suspended animation.

Hen Lie only had time to utter these two words before he heard the Stargazing Building Master, who was sitting cross-legged in mid-air, shouting in a slightly weird tone and syllables: "Start the initiation!"

Judging from their expressions, they must also be very nervous.

But the sect leader who had achieved Mahayana, stood on the top of Kyushu, and became the top small group of rulers was even more frightened to the point of numbness.

Not to mention immortals, there are not even idle people.

On the other side, the sect master who was high in the clouds had spread his senses to the entire Qingyou Mountain like a spider web.

At this time, everyone including the sect leader and the guardian elders had already rushed to the outskirts of the festival as soon as they received the news from the Star Viewing Building owner. When they saw the figure covered in karma at close range, they were immediately shocked. Downtime in place.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for sending them to death."

With every step he took, a jet-black flame would ignite on his body. As he reached the center, he had become a ball of fire, with only the piercing eyes still looming in the firelight.

"Ah?" The sect master was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied: "Then let him go out."

Everyone was so shocked by this scene that no one even thought about stopping it.

Just kidding, let alone whether it is a moth to the flame, as long as it is tainted with the slightest karma, the cultivation level and even the luck of the previous life and the next life will be completely burned.

Seeing that everyone was holding back, the young man wrapped in the fire of karma finally chuckled: "Next time before you consider self-destruction to delay others, remember not to oppress the mourning platform like this. You really don't think others can see it, right?"

The sect leader's expression changed and he laughed awkwardly: "Is it so obvious?"

The rest of the people looked at the sect leader and glared angrily.

"Can you still laugh at this time?" The protector was furious.

"But don't blame him." Huo Ren shrugged: "It's just a Mahayana, it can only delay me for about a moment. At best, I was just frightened by the barking of a chained dog on the roadside. It’s just a bit of a jump.”

These words were obviously a huge blow to the proud leader and deeply hurt his heart.

"I don't believe it!" The sect leader gritted his teeth and was about to blow himself up.

"If you don't believe it, just try it, but now."

Pyro looked around and said, "Self-explosion would be the same as killing them all."

"you!"

The sect leader hesitated for a moment, but in just such a moment, Huo Ren seemed to have completed a certain layout, and his figure gradually began to fade away.

"Stop talking, I'm going to seal the crack." Huo Ren laughed strangely again: "I just don't know who True Love's good seedling is, but it doesn't matter. I'll just go down there and fish for someone if I have the chance in the future."

After saying that, Huo Ren completely disappeared in the middle of the formation.

"Damn it! I was underestimated!" The sect leader was so angry that he stamped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.

The protector took a deep breath and asked the owner of the stargazing building: "Can the ceremony be interrupted?"

"No." The Stargazing Building Master shook his head and looked at the unconscious disciples sadly: "Once it starts, it cannot be stopped. He probably wants to use their souls, which can communicate with the underworld, as material to seal the cracks."

The protector was stunned: "In other words, if we don't start the festival, he won't be able to seal the crack?"

"not like this."

Stargazing Tower Master glanced at the sect leader who was clenching his fists so hard, his eyes moist, and sighed:

"He is an immortal after all, and he always has methods that we can't think of. Maybe he just thinks this option is the most convenient.

To put it bluntly, even if this is the only way, if we are prepared to this point, he can still be in the middle of nowhere, which means that he can absorb the souls of these children at any time without our knowledge. . "

The protector hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

Facing the immortals, there seems to be no solution.

The female elders, with despair on their faces, all looked at the young figure in the crowd.

[The camera zooms in, Jiang Lu’s face gradually becomes clear]

[Jiang Lu suddenly opened his eyes, the camera gradually zoomed out, and a dark background appeared in the picture] Jiang Lu, who was in a plain, looked at everything around him, and his sight finally settled on an ancient city shrouded in faint blue light.

The huge words "City of Wasted Death" are particularly eye-catching.

He clapped: "It's great, I feel like I was electrocuted."

Suddenly someone poked Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu turned around and saw that Hen Lie was trembling: "Where are we?"

Jiang Lu thought for a moment and turned sideways, allowing Hen Lie to see the city of Fu Si in front of him.

"To reach the highest city in the underworld - it's a waste of time! Let's take a look at Baiyi's mother in the distance."

"Ah? Are we dead?" Hen Lie's face was full of disbelief.

At the same time, a beam of light appeared, and a confused figure appeared next to the two of them.

"Master" Hen Lie had met the other party once, and just as he was about to say hello, he was pulled aside by Jiang Lu.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?" Henlie asked in confusion.

"No." Jiang Lu chuckled: "Let's form a small group to isolate him!"

"?"

Hen Lie wanted to ask him if he was sick, but when the words came to his lips, he changed to: "No, Brother Jiang."

"Just kidding." Seeing that Hen Lie seemed to have a sense of justice, Jiang Lu immediately pretended to be joking and explained: "The situation is unclear now. In this situation, neither Master nor the seniors at the Star Observation Tower told me Having said that, it means they have never encountered such a thing, so I figured it would be okay to be careful."

This is true. According to the information previously obtained, the space of life and death should be an independent space between the Yang world and the underworld. They will pass various tests there. If they can successfully win the favor of various ghosts and gods, they will be able to enjoy endless With all the benefits, if you can attract Baiyi Old Mother, you can even ascend to the underworld.

But now they came directly to the City of Fusi, which Jiang Lu didn't expect.

"Ah?" Hearing this, Hen Lie was confused again: "No, have they told you the inside story?"

"You know how to send it? This is called a closed beta player."

"what?"

As he spoke, pillars of light began to appear more densely, and all the people participating in the festival appeared on the plain one after another.

Ling Ling and Zizhu found Jiang Lu immediately, and like frightened little white rabbits, they each held one of Jiang Lu's hands and cowered: "Junior brother, what's going on?"

Jiang Lu shook his head and comforted: "I don't know, they didn't tell me, but it doesn't matter, there will always be a way, don't worry too much."

Lie Lie turned his head away knowingly, but his heart was very sad.

What, it turns out that you are all those closed beta players?

Even the two of them were frightened by the unknown, not to mention the rest of them. Those with unstable minds were already sweating profusely when they looked at the three words "City of Death in vain".

And the sudden appearance of so many strange people in front of the City of Fusi naturally attracted the attention of the ghost guards in front of the city gate.

The ghosts with green faces and fangs and full of sinister energy came over and asked: "Who are you? How did you die?"

Looking at his terrifying appearance, no one of these proud men who had traveled around Kyushu for at least a year dared to speak to him.

However, Jiang Lu felt very friendly when he saw this kind of face.

Folks, isn’t this right?

But just when Jiang Lu was about to start a conversation, he frowned: "What's wrong with your clothes?"

"What?" Gui Cha looked down at the Gui Cha robe he was wearing and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with my clothes?"

"Where are your security uniforms?"

"Hey, how did you know that what we used to wear was called security uniforms?"

Jiang Lu smiled slightly and shouted the slogan he popularized back then: "I am a security guard! Protect the safety of a place! I love eating bear biscuits! I like to stay up late and work overtime!"

"Not you"

Gui Cha was shocked and turned around to summon his companions: "Go and ask Po Meng if she was drunk again and mistook horse urine for Meng Po soup?"

After a pause, he looked at Jiang Lu and added: "Check the records from about twenty to thirty years ago!"

The disciples of Bailiu Sect also showed strange expressions.

They were all disciples who were unaware of the high-level plans, and some of them were even called back temporarily while traveling outside.

So they didn't know that normally they wouldn't be sent to the City of Wasted Death, and they didn't know the value of Jiang Lu's question. They just wondered how this new junior brother knew so many things, so they naturally began to guess whether he was the sect master. His illegitimate son, how come he knows everything.

However, Ling Ling and Zizhu completely trusted Jiang Lu and did not suspect him of hiding anything, so it was even more strange.

Jiang Lu obviously didn't notice this, and asked curiously: "How come Po Meng is addicted to alcohol now?"

Guizhan subconsciously replied: "She didn't drink before, but since the replacement, she..."

"Oh, that's not right!" Guizhan responded: "Are you asking me or should I ask you? Stop talking nonsense, who are you, how did you die, and why didn't we receive the message from above?"

But at this time Jiang Lu had already fallen into memories.

Po Meng.

Those times when you were making soup in front of the stove and I was making soup behind you, it was really unforgettable.

Is it because my bad habit of drinking has even affected my work?

Next time I see you, I have to punish you well.

"Hey! Talk to you!"

"Ah?" Jiang Lu came back to his senses: "Oh, us, are we dead?"

"You ask me?" Gui Cha rolled his eyes and was about to take these people in first, but just as he took out the shackles and put them on Jiang Lu, a strange light suddenly flashed on the latter's body.

"This is..." Guizhan felt a sense of déjà vu.

"This is." Jiang Lu was silent for a long time: "What is this?"

Gui Cha finally remembered something: "Are you the interns who came from the earthly world?"

He recognized the atmosphere of the sacrificial ceremony.

In the eyes of the people of the Bailiu Sect, this is called a sacrificial ceremony, but in the eyes of the people of the underworld, this is actually just a pass, or in other words, a seal on it.

"Intern?" Everyone looked confused.

Gui Cha scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "But now that person has been dismissed a long time ago, and those departments are gone, how can he still send interns down here in the world?"

"What's going on?" Jiang Lu asked.

However, Guizha kept secretive, his attitude became a little bad, and his tone became very irritable: "What does it have to do with you?"

He was very distressed. If he was an intern who came down from above, he would definitely not be on the list of life and death, and there would naturally be no news from above.

But although they are not in the book of life and death, it does not mean that they are still alive. So how should so many people be accommodated?

"Forget it, let's just lock him up first." Gui Cha said to himself: "Pass the news up layer by layer, and there will always be someone who can make the decision."

As he said that, he looked at everyone meaningfully: "But how long you will be detained depends on your luck."

At this moment, a figure dressed in white appeared among the crowd and the ghost.

Everyone could only see him calmly saying to Guizha: "Go wherever you need to go."

The next moment, Guizhan seemed to be fascinated, and nodded dullly: "Yes."

Then turned and left.

Immediately afterwards, the man in white faced the people who didn't understand, opened his arms and smiled: "Come on, follow me, I will take you away."

"Where are you taking us?" someone asked.

"Take you home." The man said gently: "But it's a long way. We need to go to northern Burma from Wusi City first, rest for one night at Crouching Tiger Villa, and then return to Kyushu."

When they heard each other mention Kyushu, everyone instantly believed that the other person was one of them out of the kindness to the fellow villagers and the sense of security brought by the familiar terms.

"Can we go back?" Everyone exclaimed: "But what about our assessment?"

"It doesn't matter, we will complete the assessment on the way back, and I will be your examiner."

"Ah, is that what it is?" Everyone's tense nerves relaxed instantly.

Only Jiang Lu stared at the other party with a wary face.

"Give you another chance, what is your purpose for saying this? Who ordered you?!"
