Starting from the Dragon Tribe

What is the Nine Nethers and what is the Yellow Spring?

Mountains do not grow grass, peaks do not reach the sky, ridges do not allow visitors, caves do not receive clouds, and streams do not flow.

There are monsters in front of the shore, and gods and demons under the mountains. Wild ghosts are collected in the caves, and evil spirits lurk at the bottom of the streams.

Although Lu Chen was a rough man, he was by no means illiterate. In his spare time in his previous life, he would also read some books about ancient myths and legends, mainly because he was curious about the origin of divine blood.

"Chu Ci: Calling the Soul" once recorded: "When the soul comes back, you will never leave this secluded capital."

Wang Yi's note: "Youdu is governed by the earth behind the ground. It is dark underground, so it is called Youdu."

Song Wenying also said in Volume 6 of "Yuhu Qinghua": "Shangqing, Daolu, Jiang Daoyuan, knocked on the capital of Youdu and begged for God's words."

Different from the Dragon World Earth, all the myths there originated from Nordic mythology. In fact, Lu Chen felt it was very awkward to his personal senses.

Because he feels that Chinese myths and legends are more ancient and mysterious, and the remaining documentary records can better confirm the existence of certain things.

But after breaking through that world, he discovered that all the origin stories of his ancestors had become "foreign".

The underworld mentioned by Xia Mi is also different from the Nine Netherworld and Underworld he knows. It belongs to the land of the dead in the Kingdom of Mist and has nothing to do with the underworld in ancient Chinese myths and legends.

Although everything he saw in front of him could not be said to be completely consistent, it was indeed in line with the records of Youdu in various documents. This is the place where the Huangquan tribe lives, the real underworld, and the place where all creatures will come after death. .

He walked to the inscription, studied it, and then grabbed both ends of the inscription with both hands, trying to pull it up and take a look, but unexpectedly found that the stone tablet was not moving at all.

You must know that although he is underage, he is not too far away from his peak age. His strength is immeasurable, and he did not have any impact on the stone tablet.

He tried to use the identification function of space, but was reminded that this thing could not be identified because he did not hold it in his hands. At this time, it was connected to the earth.

Lu Chen tried again with the regicide chop, but no traces were left on the seemingly broken stone tablet.

"Could it be a baby?"

Lu Chen became curious and frantic again.

But ten minutes later, he used all his strength with his sword, and he didn't even get a white mark.

The ground under his feet is also very strange. It's not like soil. It's not very hard or soft. It seems to have infinite elasticity. He can dig out some with a knife, but if he steps hard, it will only dent, not Collapse.

After working on it for a long time, but still unable to pull it out, Lu Chen gave up. He just remembered that there was another stone tablet here. He would try again when he got stronger and had the opportunity.

He set foot on the ancient road, and after walking for a while, he found that outside the mist on both sides, there was no longer earth, but dark water flowing.

He took out a chopstick from the storage space, squatted down and inserted the lower half of the chopstick into it. He felt strange. The water seemed to have no resistance. When his hand was a certain distance away, he could feel the coldness that penetrated his soul.

"Hai Neijing" once recorded: "On the mountain of Youdu, black water comes out. There are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes on it. There are the mountains of Daxuan, the people of Xuanqiu, and the Daxuan Mountains." In the country of You, there are people with red shanks.

Lu Chen murmured: "Is this black water here?"

The information about Huangquan, just like outside the circle, is a part that the original author did not draw at all, but it seems that these systems are not chaotic.

Thinking about it, although this is a derivative world, it is also a complete world. The cycle of life and death. Since there is this setting and the Huangquan tribe exists, it will naturally exist as it should.

After all, this world is a derivative world under the Chinese mythology system, but there are some differences based on the author's settings.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen thought deeply about how the so-called derivative world came into being. Is this world really just because someone created such a work?

If these derivative worlds were created in the origin space for explorers to conduct trials, this would be too big a deal. But I heard that there are many parallel worlds in the derivative world. Different explorers entering the derivative world with the same name are not the same. .

No, the derived world should not be created by space...

Lu Chen thought about the Dragon World. Space wanted to become a pioneer because he penetrated the Dragon World and helped Space gain ownership of the world. In other words, before that, the Dragon World did not belong to Origin. Space does not even belong to any space, it already exists.

As for the benefits he gained from breaking through the world into the origin space, there seems to be no big difference between him breaking through the dragon world and the Aika continent, which can also be seen from the rewards.

If derived worlds have nothing to do with mysterious existences such as space, and are worlds that originally existed in the universe, then what do these worlds have to do with the authors who created the works?

Lu Chen felt his mind was a little confused. He took out the chopstick and found that it was covered with a thin layer of black ice. He let go and the chopstick fell into the black water and sank instantly, as if it was freely falling in the air.

Lu Chen was thoughtful. Legend has it that Fenglin Island is located in the center of the West Sea, an area of ​​1,500 miles away. There are weak waters surrounding the island on all sides. A feather cannot float and cannot be crossed. It is called weak water.

The black water in the river now seems to have this characteristic. No wonder he just felt that the chopsticks had no resistance in the flowing water. This water was fishy.

Not out of curiosity, he went out for a swim and continued along the Huangquan Ancient Road to explore this unknown world.

At first he was strolling, and then he was driving quickly. Half an hour passed, and just when Lu Chen wondered whether he had been tricked again by a trick similar to the Nibelung Maze, he saw a figure in front of him.

A figure is in the middle of the road, wearing a pure black robe and a long black hat on his head, like the legendary Hei Wuchang costume. He is sitting on a stone bench with a fishing rod in his hand, fishing in the black water.

When he got closer, he realized that this was not a human-shaped creature, but a human-shaped underworld insect. The face under the hat had the same facial features as a human being, but it was just on the face of an insect, which was very weird.

It’s not that it’s scary, it’s just a little inexplicable... joyful.

"What are you fishing for?"

Lu Chen stepped forward to talk. Are there any living creatures in the black water?

The Huangquan clan member turned his head and looked at Lu Chen, with a bit of surprise in his eyes. Then he stretched out his soft hand under his robe and put it in front of his mouth, "Can you, can you, speak so, so loudly, I Now, everyone fishing, please be quiet."

The corner of Lu Chen's mouth twitched, wondering if this Huangquan tribe was sick? The speech is the same as the Three Character Classic.

He remembered that this seemed to be the Huangquan tribesman who had appeared in the original Southern Kingdom chapter, and it was very difficult to speak.

"You don't seem surprised to see me."

Lu Chen said softly.

"What's the matter? What a surprise. Yan Mo, I brought you down. Everyone knows about Qinghuangquan. Although I know, I don't know why you want to come here. But now that you're here, can not go out."

The three-character Tao of the Insect-faced Huangquan Clan.

Lu Chen felt a little dizzy. He was speaking in Chinese and his speech was very standard, but it was very difficult for him to understand it and he had to string it all over again in his mind.

"Why can't you get out?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Because, except for the Huangquan clan, only the soul and body can pass through the wheel and return to the stage. People can enter, but the Huangquan clan cannot come out. Even the Huangquan clan can reincarnate. So, the secret belt won’t work either.”

The insect-faced Huangquan tribe explained.

The veins on Lu Chen's forehead were exposed, "Can you... speak normally?"

"What are you talking about? I don't like talking nonsense. If you don't have anything to do, hurry up and leave quickly."

The insect-faced Huangquan tribe was focused on fishing, and seemed unfazed by the intrusion of a living person into the underworld, Lu Chen, and didn't want to say anything more.

Lu Chen could sense that the Huangquan tribe was of average strength and could kill him easily. However, he did not come to the underworld to cause trouble like Sun Dasheng. During the delay, he was collecting intelligence.

He had walked on the ancient road of Huangquan for so long, and finally saw someone who could communicate with him. Even if he was tired from talking, he wanted to chat again.

"What's your name, senior?"

Lu Chen asked patiently.

"My name is Sensensen."

Sensensen replied, announcing his name.

Lu Chen could hardly suppress his desire to complain. Who named him this! ?

This name must be the culprit of his three-character oral addiction! ?

Miki and Mimori can only speak three words in one breath.

"This junior's name is Eastern Sunset. I think the seniors already know it. Now I would like to ask, how long is this ancient road to Huangquan?"

Lu Chen tried to be as calm as possible.

"If you are asking about the length of the Huangquan Ancient Road, there is no end, but the moment you see me, you have already reached the end. Go forward, a hundred feet. All."

Sensensen replied, the fishing rod in his hand shook, he exerted force on his hand and quickly reeled in the line.

Lu Chen also looked curiously into the black water. As Sensen closed his pole, an object emerged from the water. It turned out to be a small black snake half a foot long.

Sen Sensen seemed very satisfied, and took the black snake off the hook. Under Lu Chen's surprised eyes, he directly put the still flapping black snake into his mouth and started chewing it.

Even if it wasn't a human face, Lu Chen could tell that Sensensen seemed very intoxicated at this time, as if he had eaten some unparalleled delicacy.

If ordinary people were here, they would probably instinctively feel very sick and even want to vomit.

But Lu Chen was not an ordinary person. With a curious light in his eyes, he asked: "Is it delicious?"

Sen Sensen turned to look at Lu Chen, seeming a little surprised, "The mysterious snakes in this black water are naturally delicious. If you want to eat them, just catch them yourself."

Black Water Black Snake! ?

Lu Chen thought he heard wrongly, and reorganized the other party's words in his mind. According to the normal sentence segmentation, it should indeed be the Black Water Black Snake.

There is actually a creature in this black water, and it is the legendary black water snake in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Thinking about it carefully, the little snake that was eaten by Sensen just now was very small, but if it were magnified countless times, he seemed to have seen it before.

The knife in his hand was originally named Hei Xuan, and its host was the living spirit of the Black Water Black Snake, which was very similar in appearance to the little black snake.

Next, he saw another strange scene. He lightly scratched his insect hand with a fishhook. It seemed that some meat scraps were taken away, and then he threw the pole again and started fishing.

Sensensen actually used his own meat to catch this black snake!

"Don't look at it. If you want to fish, you can buy a pole in the city and try it yourself. But I won't provide you with bait."

Sensensen waved his hand, as if to chase people away.

Lu Chen felt strange in his heart. He was actually very interested in the little black snake. Although he only glanced at it twice, he felt that it was emitting strange energy.

In the end, he did not continue chatting with Sensensen who was struggling to explain. He came down today not to catch snakes. Since the end was ahead, he still passed the ancient Huangquan road first and officially entered the interior of Huangquan.

There must still be normal people in the Huangquan tribe. He felt that the right solution would be to wait until he gets to a place with a lot of "people" and find someone who can communicate well.

Oh, if the Huangquan tribe is unwilling to communicate well, it must be because his charm is too low. He can use another way of negotiation.

There was no need for the dense scene in front of him. He felt that if he pressed this guy, he might drive himself crazy first.

After walking forward a hundred feet, the fog in front of me dispersed slightly and gradually gathered again, but the scene changed, and it was no longer the long ancient road to Huangquan.

A high mountain in the cold mist appeared in front of Lu Chen's eyes. Ghosts were crying, shadows were flickering, and blue will-o'-the-wisps were floating in the air.

Legend has it that there is a mountain in the North Sea, which is called the mountain of the capital, and the black water comes out of it.

Everything seemed to be connected with the myths and legends he had known before. Lu Chen stepped forward curiously. It is said that skilled people are bold, but he did not notice any dangerous atmosphere.

Wangshan was so desperate that Lu Chen ran forward for another ten minutes without getting close to the mist-shrouded Youdu Mountain. It seemed that he was approaching a certain point, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Youdu Mountain disappeared, and in front of him was an ancient city.

He seemed to suddenly appear at the city gate, a traveler through time and space.

There are many people in the ancient city. Some creatures that look like humans are wearing old armors. Those armors have been in existence for unknown years. The iron plates on them are all rusty, and the threads in the middle have fallen off and become loose.

The soldiers were holding rusty spears and walking in groups of two on the street, as if on patrol.

Two of the soldiers walked past Lu Chen as if they couldn't see him. They stopped three feet in front of his face, then turned around and continued patrolling.

After getting closer, Lu Chen could see the soldier's pale face and lifeless eyes, which reminded him of the legendary Yin soldiers.

He looked at his feet again. The place where the soldier stopped seemed to be the vertical line from the city gate. It seemed that their range of activities was restricted.

Not far away, Huangquan people wearing Taoist robes can be seen walking on the street, holding iron chains in their hands with rows of souls strung together. Most of them are old people, both men and women.

But no one seemed to notice his arrival, all "people" were doing their own thing.

Lu Chen stepped forward and crossed the empty line in the city gate.

The next moment, all the Yin soldiers suddenly stopped and looked in his direction without moving their necks. Some even turned their heads 180 degrees!

There seemed to be a faint light in those dull eyes.
