This is the highest point in the city, and the snow is very thick.

Here, Gu Jiu could clearly see a huge hole not far below.

This hole is right in the center of the city, like a vertical shaft that has been magnified countless times.

Even though they were still a mile away, Gu Jiu's heart beat faster.

From the moment he stepped into the city, Gu Jiu felt it was ancient and desolate, as if he had entered another time and space. The huge vertical shaft-like hole in front of him gave him this feeling even more.

Gu Jiu came to the pit, looked down, and found that it might really be a well.

This is because there is water in this extremely deep and huge pit.

The black water, with some scattered snow on the surface, looked very deep and cold.

For some reason, Gu Jiu felt shortness of breath just by looking at the wellhead.

"Is there something?" Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.

At this moment, a string of bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm water surface, and then a fish head floated out.

The fish head was extremely large, almost occupying the entire area of ​​the wellhead. It looked very old, with most of its scales fallen off, making it look particularly ferocious.

Moreover, its whiskers are very long and thick, even feeling like dragon whiskers.

Gu Jiu only felt a foul smell coming towards him and frowned slightly.

The fish looked at Gu Jiu with its half-rotten eyes, without any emotion, but Gu Jiu sensed danger.

At this time, the surroundings began to tremble.

This strange fish with dragon whiskers began to squeeze upwards, and cracks suddenly appeared on the inner wall of the cave, making a crackling sound.

It can be seen that it is so fat that it feels crowded in such a big hole.

For some reason, Gu Jiu had an illusion that the reason there was not a single living thing in this city was because of this strange fish.

A strange fish that looks like a dragon but is not a dragon.

Chapter 4: Strange Fish and Black City

The fish opened its huge mouth, which was filled with dense teeth and looked quite ferocious.

Its body, so huge that it could not be determined, kept pushing outward, so that the entire cave entrance began to crack and debris flew everywhere.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but take a few steps back.

This was the first living creature he had seen in so many days, but he didn't expect it to be such a huge creature.

The dark black water rolled up and turned into tiny snowy waves. As the entire huge hole collapsed, half of the body of the strange fish was exposed outside.

At this time, it looked even more hideous, because where the scales had fallen off the fish's body were pieces of rotten flesh, which was extremely smelly.

Before, Gu Jiu thought it was a creature between a dragon and a fish, but now he felt that it was between a corpse and a living thing.

Because it looked so much like the corpse of a strange fish, but now it was moving violently.

With a loud bang, the accumulated water at the entrance of the cave rushed up into the sky like an upside-down waterfall, and then the strange fish struggled to swim up.

Yes, it swam up even without water.

Gu Jiu only felt a gust of strong wind blowing, and his clothes were blowing with a crackling sound.

Following a very strange sound, the rotten monster fish flew into the sky.

When the shadow completely covered Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu realized how huge this thing was.

The fish was as big as a football field, so when Gu Jiu looked at it, he felt like it was blocking out the sky and the sun.

Soon, countless scales fell off the fish's body, falling down like large pieces of tiles.

Gu Jiu felt that the taste of the fish scales was extremely disgusting, and he could not help but sway left and right to dodge them.

The dark blue fish scales fell on the snow, standing out particularly.

When Gu Jiu looked up, he found that at least two-thirds of the scales on the strange fish had fallen off, and black blood kept falling from the sky, making a hissing sound when it hit the snow.

Gu Jiu couldn't stand the smell, so he had to hold his breath and breathe through his body cells.

Soon, the strange fish made a very strange sound, which made Gu Jiu's ears buzz.

The sound seemed very ancient, as if it could instantly pull people into those desolate and terrifying times.

In those days, humans had not yet been born, and the world was in chaos, with only desolate winds and various ancient evil creatures roaming.

Soon, the strange fish flew into the clouds in the sky.

At the moment when its tail was about to sink into the clouds, Gu Jiu even saw countless blood-red tentacles emerging from its rotten flesh, swaying like ghosts, looking very disgusting.

However, after seeing the strange fish fly away, Gu Jiu still felt a little relieved.

He thought the fish would attack him, but fortunately it didn't.

It's not that he was afraid of not being able to beat the other person, but that the smell of the other person defeated him.

I saw that in the high sky, the originally motionless clouds finally began to vibrate, just like a pool of water being stirred, causing ripples.

Not long after, there was a loud bang, and the whole city was shaken. Gu Jiu was even shaken off the ground.

The strange fish, which had just flown into the clouds, fell from the sky and landed on the most magnificent temple below.

In an instant, bricks and stones flew everywhere, air waves rolled, and a clear crack appeared on the ground.

Gu Jiu stood high up and watched all this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did the plane crash?"

The body of the strange fish kept swaying, and the magnificent black temple collapsed.

After an incense stick of time, the strange fish stopped moving, as if it was dead, but the bloody tentacles on its body were still waving wildly.

Looking at these disgusting tentacles, Gu Jiu's first reaction was that they were parasites.

He felt that the reason why this strange fish was so rotten was probably related to these tentacles.

This is a rather disgusting and bloody picture. The strange fish with dragon whiskers keeps opening and closing its mouth, looking like it is stranded on the shore and struggling to survive.

It was almost dead, but those bloody tentacles were full of vitality.

Not long after, the strange fish's mouth, which had been opening and closing constantly, stopped opening and closing.

It was completely dead, and those bloody tentacles gradually died down and retracted into the rotten flesh.

The whole world went silent.

The huge body of the strange fish was stuck in the ruins of the temple and was badly rotten, as if it had been dead for a long time.

Gu Jiu looked at this scene and felt that he had really broadened his horizons.

A huge black mountain city, without a single person, but with a strange fish that has rotted into this state.

Not everyone can have the opportunity to witness the entire process of the death of this strange fish with dragon whiskers.

At this time, Gu Jiu returned to the broken well and found that the water level in the well had dropped a lot because of the strange fish breaking out of the well.

In Gu Jiu's sight, this well was much larger than he had expected. There were many holes on the wall of the well. It looked very deep and it was unknown how deep it went.

This proves that there is still a lot of room inside.

But now Gu Jiu naturally had no intention of exploring because it was too smelly here and he was in a hurry.

There was a simple mark of the city on this incomplete map, and he still needed to go to the north to find the mountain range that served as a signpost.

After walking for a while, Gu Jiu stopped in front of a black building that looked like a temple.

The black stone that built the entire city was very solid, and even in such severe windy and snowy weather, it was not seriously damaged.

The same is true of the temple walls, which are also covered with relief murals.

Although the mural is blurred, the content on it can still be vaguely understood.

It was a rather desolate battlefield. On one side were humans, and on the other side were some strange-looking evil creatures.

These people's arms were very long, hanging down below their knees, so Gu Jiu felt a little strange. More importantly, there was a strange fish like that in this army.

The strange fish was floating in the air, with a man in armor sitting on its back. This man looked like the leader of this army.

Afterwards, the general riding the strange fish led the army to a great victory, and the people were extremely happy.

After a victory, it is natural to celebrate. The content of the celebration is nothing more than drinking, eating meat, singing and dancing. However, Gu Jiu discovered that the cooked food on the relief murals actually had traces of people.

Yes, people.

Those people were thrown into the pot. Although their facial features were drawn with just a few strokes, the despair seemed to overflow through the walls.

The long-armed people here eat humans, and it can even be said that humans are their staple food?

Here, the wall collapses and the murals come to an abrupt end.

Gu Jiu looked at the murals, lost in thought.

He wondered if this strange fish, like the Youlong of the You Dynasty, was once the most powerful weapon of the rulers of this city.

After all, it is very big and can fly, and it has a strong deterrent effect.

But later, for some unknown reason, the people in the city disappeared, leaving only this fish, living at the bottom of the huge well day after day until it rotted and mutated.

Gu Jiu looked back at the terribly desolate city and felt that there were countless secrets buried in it.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, and Gu Jiu decided to spend one night in this city. After all, the information from those world travelers said that as soon as it gets dark, you must find a place covered with tiles to hide.

According to those people, after darkness comes, the underworld will be filled with terror, and only places covered by tiles can find peace.

Chapter 5 The Night Here

Gu Jiu simply went straight into the temple and prepared to spend the night there.

He wanted to know what the dark night in the so-called underworld was like.

He had read very few relevant records before. After all, there were not many travelers in the world who could come back after entering the underworld to explore.

The underworld worlds seen by these travelers were different. Some saw a sun that seemed to never set, while others saw it was always dusk. Some saw the change of seasons within a few days. However, three travelers said similar things, that is, the nights in the underworld were full of terror, and only under the tiles could one get a moment of peace.

Gu Jiu had just left the West Sea and didn't know whether he had entered the Yin world or was at the junction of Yin and Yang. So as it was getting dark, he prepared to take a rest and take a look at the difference between the night here and the night in the Tang Dynasty.

This temple, like other buildings, looks very cold with its black background and white snow.

In addition to wet soil, there are several dead trees in the temple courtyard.

The dead trees with snow hanging on their branches looked like old men frozen in the snow.

Gu Jiu exhaled a breath of white air and walked straight into the palace in front.

This should be the main hall of the temple, it is very tall.

Gu Jiu stood inside and felt a sense of emptiness.

There is an altar in the main hall. The statues on the altar are all black, which is very similar to the style of the entire building.

What surprised Gu Jiu was that the statue enshrined in the temple was neither an immortal nor a Buddha or Guanyin, but a monster with six arms.

Gu Jiu had never seen this monster before. It was in human form, with a fierce face and eyes as big as copper bells. It looked like the legendary Yaksha.

What made Gu Jiu feel even more uncomfortable was that there was a string of eyes carved on each of the six arms of the statue.

These eyes are connected in a row, carved very shallowly, but very vividly, making people feel as if they are really looking at you.

Gu Jiu soon discovered that there were some similar eyes on the neck of the statue.

So he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "If this thing really exists, how disgusting it would be."

It’s not that Gu Jiu hasn’t seen things covered with eyes before. The centipede under the Qingliu Academy before was almost a sea of ​​eyes, but the eyes of this statue gave him a completely different feeling.

They are very shallow, as if hidden under the skin. At first glance, these eyes look like they are closed, but they always give people the feeling that they are looking at you.

What's more, this monster looks like a human, but with so many extra eyes on its body, it's a bit disgusting to think about it.

There should be some buildings behind the temple, but Gu Jiu didn't plan to go in and take a look because he was lazy.

He pulled out a rattan chair, took out some water and dried meat, and started to cook the dried meat in a pot.

In fact, it would not be a problem for Gu Jiu to go without food or water for dozens of days, it was just that he was greedy.

Soon, a scene of the Haoyu Sword burning with sword fire and cooking soup appeared.

Sword fire has a strong killing power against evil spirits and ghosts, but it is also extremely precious because it consumes a lot of vitality.
