Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 118 Netherworld
By the time Houzi and Zhu Ganglu found out about the trick and turned back, Xuanzang and the two had long since disappeared from the spot.

"That monster has some tricks, and even the layman is no match for him!"

Zhu Ganglian murmured, in Yunzhan Cave, he had seen Ren Qinglian's tricks before.

But the monkey said solemnly: "Do you feel that there is a remnant of the ghostly hell here?"

Zhu Gangli didn't have such a keen sense of consciousness as a monkey, he frowned and said, "I'm afraid that tiger demon practiced some kind of ghost art and secret technique, borrowing the power of the nether world."

The monkey nodded, and said again: "Old Sun is not worried about the safety of Layman Ren!"

"Brother, do you know the origin of this layman?" Zhu Gangli's heart moved.

The monkey smiled and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, let's go to the master."

After finishing speaking, the two senior brothers made a plan together, and let the monkey lure the monster out first. Unexpectedly, although he killed the tiger pioneer, he was blinded by the samadhi kamikaze of the yellow wind monster. land.

Besides, on Ren Qinglian's side, after being taken away by the blood curtain, the world was spinning for a while, and after an unknown amount of time, she reappeared and came to a dark and gloomy world.

The surrounding area was gray and filled with ghostly smog.

"What is the origin of the talisman in Tiger Pioneer's hand? It actually opened the passage between Yin and Yang, and took me into this nether world!" Muttering, Ren Qinglian had already discovered that strands of yin and cold breath were constantly eroding him. body.

With a thought, the eight poles of the dantian changed, and the strength in the body had been transformed into the air of earth evil.

"It's no wonder that ordinary monks enter this nether world only when they enter the nether world. The evil spirit here eats too much of the masculine blood energy. If you stay for a long time, not only will your cultivation regress, but your life will also be in danger!"

Although she doesn't know where the Tiger Pioneer's talisman came from, Ren Qinglian can also guess that it must be related to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

It's just that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva never expected that Ren Qinglian had already comprehended the transformation of the eight powers and nine palaces, and the true energy in her body could be transformed into the evil spirit of the earth at any time. In this nether world, she can practice like a fish in water!
Thinking about it, the Heaven Swallowing Technique was working, and the dark aura around him began to rush into his body frantically.After a while, the true energy crystal representing the Kun hexagram in the dantian has obviously surpassed the other several true energy crystals.

But at this moment, the eight "stars" began to revolve around the central "star", and a mysterious force spread, and the eight crystals of true energy became the same size again.

Ren Qinglian opened her mouth, but felt relieved, at least cultivating the evil spirit in this netherworld would not break the weird structure in his dantian.

At this moment, Ren Qinglian's surroundings began to become clear. Looking forward, there was a long river leading to nowhere. Behind him, there was a mirror-like stone wall.

A gust of cold wind blew in her face, Ren Qinglian took a step forward subconsciously, then stopped her feet suddenly, stood stiffly under the cliff, looked at the long dark river under the cliff, secretly frowned, the water in this river, Seems a bit odd.

Thinking, he turned back to look at the stone wall, the first time he looked at his shadow in this life so clearly, and vaguely, he seemed to see the face of the previous life.

"What a strange stone wall, it seems to be able to point directly at people's hearts." With a murmur, a boat suddenly appeared on the river where the water and the sky meet.

Standing on it was a young man in black clothes, Ren Qinglian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she recognized that the man was actually his younger brother in this body——Ren Qingyun.

"Pretending to be a ghost, how can there be such a coincidence." Thinking, the boat has already passed, "Ren Qingyun" on the boat is holding a penny in his right hand, with an indifferent expression, seeing Ren Qinglian looking at him, slightly drooping eyes, Signal Ren Qinglian to get on the boat.

Ren Qinglian frowned, thinking that she couldn't be trapped on this cliff, she secretly guarded herself, jumped onto the boat.

"Who are you!"

Ren Qinglian asked.

"Who do you say I am, who am I?"

"Ren Qingyun" had a weird smile on his face.

"Hmph!" Ren Qinglian snorted coldly, and suddenly made a move to grab "Ren Qingyun", but the next moment, she caught nothing.

"A wandering soul that doesn't even have a ghost body?" Muttering, Ren Qinglian seemed to remember something, and Xuanzang's figure flashed in her mind.

The next moment, I saw that soul's face changed, and became a bald monk, not Xuanzang.

"So that's it!" Ren Qinglian muttered, but she thought of it. Just now when he looked at the stone wall, he couldn't help comparing the appearance of Ren Qinglian and Ren Qingyun. But he can imagine what he thinks in his heart. The sentence "Who do you think I am, I am?" is actually a big truth.

Thinking of this, Ren Qinglian couldn't help asking: "Where is this?"

"Santu River!"

"Xuanzang" said calmly.

Ren Qinglian was secretly amazed, this soul puppet can not only reflect what he thinks in his heart, but also imitate the expression and state of the person he thinks about.

After asking a few more questions, the puppet never answered.

It was only then that Ren Qinglian remembered that she had heard of the "Santu River" mentioned by the puppet just now.

"That's right, the Santu River is actually the Wangchuan River!" After a long time, Ren Qinglian realized that she had seen this saying in an ancient book left by Wu Zhiqi.

"Could it be that the stone wall just now is the legendary Sansheng Stone?" Ren Qinglian thought, and didn't notice at the time whether the big blood-colored characters "Go to the other side early" were engraved on the stone wall, but looking at the blood-yellow river water churning around, she wondered He is certain of the origin of this river.

This Wangchuan River is the most famous long river in the underworld, and it is also the dividing line between the Yin and Yang realms in the legend. However, Ren Qinglian didn't find out how to flow back to the Yang realm, which is the method of the earth and fairy realm, so she could only bite the bullet and go with the flow.

As it gradually deepened into the netherworld, various lonely ghosts, insects, snakes and poisonous things began to appear in the Wangchuan River.

Ren Qinglian was not afraid, she casually opened a phosphorescent claw stretching out from the water, and in the distance she could already see a bridge across the long river, which was the legendary Naihe Bridge.

At the end of the Naihe Bridge is the Wangxiang Terrace, and there is a Meng Po next to her, holding a bucket of soup in her hand, and distributing it to every ghost who is about to walk on the Naihe Bridge.

Suddenly, she sensed the breath of life on Ren Qinglian's body, narrowed her eyes, and looked over.

At this moment, Ren Qinglian burned a ghost dragon with blood flames, and killed a bunch of corpse insects with her fingers.

The wandering souls holding the oars turned a blind eye, Ren Qinglian gradually relaxed, and while killing those ghosts and poisonous insects that didn't open their eyes, they began to refine with a stream of water from the underworld.

When Po Meng saw Ren Qinglian's method of controlling water, she frowned slightly, split her body in two, and walked towards the bank of the river together.
