hell in disguise

With the blood pool as the center, the land of the Eight Great Hells spread out in all directions towards the void.Every extremely hot hell sinks to the ground, and behind the dark yellow miasma that permeates and hovers in the sky, there is an extremely cold hell inverted on top of it, and the two correspond to each other.One heat and one cold are combined together and called a fundamental hell.Between these eight fundamental hells is an endless wasteland of many near and lonely hells.

On the dry and cracked land, a long lava river meanders from the sky, and the red magma inside splashes fire waves several meters high from time to time, spraying the solidified limestone on the surface into smoke and dust all over the sky.The air is so hot that it seems to be burning, and if it is inhaled into the body, it seems to burn all internal organs to ashes.On such a hot land, only sporadic thorns with poisonous thorns grow, twisted and woven into various weird and tricky shapes, and even gathered into pieces of "forest".The only kind of creature is the human-faced owl that inhabits near the poisonous thorn. It has a face that is as expressionless as a human mask, but it has a huge bird body, and its feathers are glued together by blood.They were hidden in the thorn forest, and suddenly saw a pale human face in the dark.Many hungry and desperate ghosts often think that they are life-saving people, but when they get close, they find that they have been deceived, and it is too late to run away.These human-faced owls are extremely powerful, they will hit the ghosts on those thorns, they will be poked like a sieve, and then they will tear their belly and eat the purple-red internal organs.

Gannamara raised his hand to wipe off the sweat from his forehead, took a few sips from the water bottle from his waist, and found that the water brought from Fengdu had been drunk, not a single drop remained.He cursed angrily, and threw the kettle on the ground casually.

The ground wolf he bought while waiting for the living hell had not been able to drink a sip of water for several days, and lay dying on the scorched ground not far away.A few human-faced owls had been wandering around it for a long time, as if they were waiting for it to die, but they didn't dare to get too close because they were afraid of Tan Yangzi.Gannamara charged forward fiercely, roaring ferociously, revealing his steel-sharp fangs.Those human-faced owls uttered hoarse and ugly cries in panic, and flew up one after another, circling in the air.

Zunna knelt down in front of the wolf, and saw that five of its eight eyes had been closed, and the pupils of the other three were gradually dilated.He reached out his hand to caress its hard carapace in pity and apology, and suddenly inserted his sharp claws into its skull, quickly and silently ending its pain.

The water he brought was enough, but he didn't expect to be forced to hand it over by a ghost king when he passed through the scorching hell.Originally, those ghosts didn't dare to provoke them, who were blue and red and impermanent, but it was clear that there hadn't even been an acid rain in the Scorching Hell in recent decades, and the water source was exhausted. , but because of the long lifespan, he could not die, so he could only linger on and live in agony.In such a situation, I suddenly met Jiannamara, who just came from Fengdu and carried the kind of clean and clear water that Fengdu only had on his back, even if he knew that he was Qing Wuchang, he couldn't care less, woo woo A large area surrounded him.Rao is that no matter how fierce Zannamara is, it is impossible to kill so many ghosts, so he had to hand over most of the water.

Now there is still a long distance from Abi Hell, if Yu Jian goes there, it will greatly consume his supernatural power.Avici Hell is the most chaotic and cruel place among the eight fundamental hells, he really doesn't want to weaken his strength ahead of time.

But now it seems there is no other way.

After flying for a while, I saw a lot of ghosts on the ground below, gathered together in a dark mass.This kind of ghost looks like some giant cockroaches from a distance, with a dark brown body, no wings, and a layer of fine fluff all over the body, and they often appear in large groups in large groups.If you get close, you will see that the smallest of them is more than three meters long, with sharp barbs on their six hairy legs, and insect mouths all over their stomachs, which are constantly moving greedily.There are two long tentacles on the head for communicating with the same kind, and there are thousands of eyeballs in the compound eyes, which glisten with some kind of primitive and evil greed.

This time, these ghosts seemed to surround a few small black dots, staring at them.Tan Yangzi got a little closer, but found that they were three Qinglin ghosts with scales similar to him and horns on their heads, followed by two ground wolves carrying several boxes to salute.Most of these Qinglin ghosts come from those extremely cold hells, especially Qinglian Hell and Red Lotus Hell.Seeing that his fellow villager was besieged by ghosts, Zannamara suddenly swooped down like a blue sharp sword crashing to the ground.At the moment when the smoke and dust had not cleared, a cyan sword light had already shuttled through the air for several rounds without a sound. When the dust settled down a bit, there were seven or eight ghosts whose heads had been cut off, cut off by the middle, or All feet were cut off.The ground was full of fragments of insect limbs and those yellow, acidic blood.

I saw the karma-cutting sword circled in the air and then flew back to the hands of Qiannamara, the white hair on his forehead fell on the corners of his cold and stern eyes.Those ghouls uttered squeaking screams and fled in a hurry, and got into the cracks in the ground.

Gannamara stood up and looked at the three Qinglin ghosts who were still in shock.It is two males and one female.The short male ghost was wrapped in a light robe of excellent texture and glowing with light, and there were not many decorations made of trophies on his neck and waist, and his figure seemed a bit frail. They are all embedded with precious gemstones.And the female Qinglin ghost was quite delicate and charming, wearing a violet gauze skirt, she hid shyly behind the taller male Qinglin ghost.

And the clothes on the tall Qinglin ghost were much simpler, with a thick necklace made of the bones of the ghost he killed hanging around his neck, with ape arms and wasp waist, and his face was very handsome even by human standards.Looks like a warrior who has seen a lot of battles.

Kannamara looked at them and asked in common language, "Are you from Qinglian Hell?"

Sentient beings in hell do not have a tradition of giving thanks, so the tall and mature Qinglin ghost just asked, "You too?"

"It was a long time ago. The opposite prison of Qinglian Hell is Scorching Hell, which is thousands of miles away. Why are you here?"

The slightly shorter male Qinglin ghost said, "We are..." But before he finished speaking, he was glared at by the tall ghost, so he closed his mouth resentfully.

Zannamara just noticed that the taller and more handsome Qinglin ghost had been looking at the sword in his hand just now, and he probably guessed his identity, so he didn't want to say more.Tan Yangzi sighed, in the eyes of these ghosts, these green and red impermanences are all lackeys who sold their lives and souls and harmed their colleagues for a short-term gain.Since he became Qingwuchang, those ghosts who used to have a good relationship in Qinglian Hell have gradually cut off contact with him.

Qinglian Hell is extremely cold and scarce. If ordinary Qinglin ghosts can have a piece of rag to cover their bodies, it would be good. But those two young ghosts not only have clothes, but also the kind of gorgeous material that is rarely seen even in the world. Through those sandy clothes, you can vaguely see that the scales on their bodies are far less than those on Tan Yangzi's body, which shows that they have not been exposed to extreme cold since childhood.

Those who can receive such treatment are probably relatives of some ghost king.Most of the sentient beings in hell do not know how to raise offspring, and most of them lay their eggs in the river connected to the blood pool, and then let them die.However, in order to ensure the stability and inheritance of their status, the noble and wealthy ghost kings and nobles in the various hells will still raise their offspring like the human monsters and Shura gods in other five realms.

But if they are relatives of the ghost king, why are there no ghosts escorting them here?

Zannamara looked at the short male ghost carefully for a while, and suddenly asked in Qinglian Hell's native language, "Are you the relatives of King Garuna?"

The short Qinglin ghost was a little surprised, his clear eyes looked straight at him and said, "Do you know my father?"

Eunna nodded slightly and said, "My name is Eunnamara, and I used to be the executioner under the throne of Garuna."

The female Qinglin ghost hiding behind suddenly yelled, and whispered to the tall man in front, "Brother Luo Xin, I seem to have heard Dada mention him."

Dada is what most descendants of nobles in hell call their biological father. It seems that this female ghost is actually the daughter of King Garuna.When Jianna left Qinglian Hell, King Garuna had few sons and had never heard of a daughter.Judging by their ages, they were probably born after he left.

The Qinglin ghost known as Luo Xin slightly eased his vigilant look, but there was still a bit of hostility between his brows, and he said mockingly, "Zan Na? I'm afraid it should be called Zan Na Mo Luo now, right?" ? I am the second guardian under the throne of Karuna, but I have never heard of any executioner who became Qingwuchang."

But the princess said with a naive expression, "It's true. I heard Dada say that he used to be the strongest and fiercest fighter under his command. It's just a pity. I asked Dada why it was a pity, but Dada didn't tell me gone."

Qian Na lowered his eyes and said, "Is the king okay?"

The princess looked at him curiously, and replied, "Well, it's just..."

"Princess, it's time for us to go on our way." Na Luoxin didn't seem to want to talk to Jian Na, turned around and led one of the two ground wolves, and hugged the princess onto the wolf's back.The other Qinglin ghost, who is probably a prince, said, "Brother Luo Xin, our guards were all killed by the mob in Dareang Hell, and we escaped with great difficulty. The ghosts share the food. Seeing that the direction he walked just now is also going to Abi Hell, why not invite him to go with you?"

Rosin seemed to have a headache looking at the prince whose eyes were so pure that he didn't look like a citizen of hell, and the princess who kept agreeing on the ground wolf's back.Knowing that his goal was about to be achieved, Zunna said sincerely, "I am indeed going to Avici Hell."

Luo Xin turned around, strode up to Qian Na, and stared at him arrogantly, "What are you doing in Abi Hell?"

"Find someone."

"Hmph, I think you are greedy for our water and food?"

Qian Na stared back without showing any weakness, "Even if it is, if I don't help you, can you make it to Abi Hell alive? As far as I know, there are not only ghosts, gu carvings, and human beings in this lonely hell." There are many things like owls and tapirs."

Rosin knew he was right.No matter how strong he was, he still couldn't defeat the attack of a large group of ghost-faced owls.And this Qing Wuchang has the karma-slaying sword made of life soul, which is indeed a great help that ordinary monsters and ghosts dare not approach.Although he looked down on this Qing Wuchang who betrayed hell, but right now it is important to escort the princess and prince to Abi Hell.

The four of them walked together, only to find out that the princess's name was Muya, and the prince's name was Jialan. The reason for going here was because Princess Muya had a marriage contract with Prince Ashani of Abi Hell. There were originally a hundred soldiers escorting her this time. Going to get married, but now there are many ghost kings fighting in Dajiaore Hell, and some of them want to snatch their bags. Those fighters were killed or captured in order to cover the retreat of the prince and princess. In the end, only Luo Xin was left.

Naturally, Luo Xin didn't tell him these things, it was the two young brats who were blinded by the gentle appearance he pretended to say.Su Na became more and more suspicious.The ghost king Garuna is the most powerful in Qinglian Hell, but why did he marry the ghost king of Abi Hell?

Luo Xin didn't give him a good look along the way, but he encountered a group of ghosts a few times on the way, and the two cooperated very tacitly when fighting together.Luo Xin's skill is calm and resolute, which is different from his ruthlessness and quickness, but it just complements him.This happened many times, and although Luo Xin still had an expression of arrogance and disdain on his face, there was also a faint sense of sympathy for each other.

It's just that time passed day by day, and the ten-day period was getting closer and closer, and Qian Na thought of Yan Fei more and more frequently.His original plan was this: Judge Han had already issued a judge's order not to allow him to return to the human world, and sent someone to monitor him. He must have also set up a ghost guard at the blood pool to guard the only way to the human world. Going back will definitely not succeed.It would be better to go to Avici Hell to inquire about Kuma Moluo's whereabouts. After all, if she really came to Avici Hell and returned to the human world from there, there must be a way to the human world there.

Now that Han Zitong has sent a new Hong Wuchang to replace him, Yan Fei must have known that he cannot go back for the time being.

I don't know how anxious the child will be.

Zun Na thought about it and sighed, but heard rustling beside him, Princess Muir sat down beside him, and asked, "Who are you missing? Are you thinking about your impermanence?"

Looking at those innocent clear yellow eyes, Qian Na lowered his head and continued to wipe his sword, "My Hongwuchang has long since died."

Muir opened her eyes wide in surprise.At this time, the little prince also came over and asked in disbelief, "You Qinghong Wuchang will also die? Didn't you say that you are immortal?"

Zannamara sneered, "Even the gods can't live forever, let alone us. We just don't have the soul of life and can't re-enter reincarnation, so we stay in this life forever. If we die, our souls will be scattered and we will never be reborn. .”

Not far away, Luo Xin, who was feeding the ground wolf, seemed to glance at him.

The two little ghosts fell silent.After a long while, Muir asked sympathetically, "Then...how did your Hongwuchang die?"

"Killed by Heavenly Soldiers and Generals."

"What?!" Prince Jialan asked, "Aren't you from Heaven?

There was endless loneliness and sadness in Qian Na's eyes at that moment, but this deep pain was quickly hidden by him, leaving only a tired void.He lowered his eyes slightly, and said in a casual voice, "He betrayed Heaven."

The two little ghosts exclaimed, even a little reverent.Probably in their cognition, those who dare to confront the Heavenly Court are warriors and heroes.

Ya asked more and more curiously, "What kind of person is he? How did he fight against Heaven?"

Qian Na was silent for a while, then stuck the sword back, then stood up and said, "Our food is almost finished, I will go to the thorny forest ahead to hunt a human-faced owl to eat."
