The heavens of Hades are always dark.
The Qing Jiao army marched all the way on the gray-black plain.
On the back of the black-blooded paper horse, Luo Si interrupted his healing, opened his eyes, and looked at the horizon.
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"That's the Water Burial Valley!" Ning Zhuo knew the direction, after all, Sun Lingtong had been here before, but he was intercepted nearby.
Ning Zhuo also showed his doubts, and the scenes in front of him were very different from his memory.
I saw a thick black and gray mist rising from the valley, condensing into a oppressive lead cloud at low altitude.
The two black hills looked like the bones of a creeping giant beast.
Ning Zhuo frowned: "Why do you feel that these two black hills are much lower than I thought?"
The hill seemed to be two giant beasts confronting each other, tearing a relatively narrow but bottomless crack in the middle, which was the entrance to the Water Burial Valley.
"There was obviously a big battle here!" Luo Si's expression was reminiscing.
He and Ning Zhuo both showed worried expressions,
The former is worried about the gray old man, and the latter is worried about the Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin.
As the distance shortens, the details of the gray-black mist become clearer.
Countless small, grayish-white flocculents floated and floated in the mist. They are like burned paper ash, or like the spores of some kind of fungus, spinning silently, emitting a mixture of mildew, corpse odor and a strong watery smell.
"This is the unique burial water of the Water Burial Valley. Normally, it flows in the valley as a stream." Luo Si introduced, his voice with a touch of heaviness.
Sun Lingtong had never been in the valley, but Luo Si had been in and out of the valley too many times and was quite familiar with the situation in the valley.
Ning Zhuo was silent, his heart became more and more anxious, and he wanted to get into the valley to find his mother now.
But he finally endured it abruptly, and instead issued an order to put the whole army on alert and slow down.
This move made Ross cast a look of approval.
After several big scenes, Ning Zhuo's military literacy has far exceeded the ordinary.
"You are stationed around here, take good care of Qingchi, and don't let her be hurt in any way." Ning Zhuo ordered, "Let's go back when we go."
Qingchi was still in a coma.
Unlike Ross, he recovered quickly and was able to ride horses by himself.
Ning Zhuo arranged for the Qingjiao Army to be temporarily stationed near the entrance of the Water Burial Valley. He himself went to the Water Burial Valley with Ross to find out.
Finally, I arrived at the entrance.
The strong stench was like a real fist slamming into Ning Zhuo's nose.
Ning Zhuo almost died.
Ning Zhuo quickly held his breath and let Luo Si walk in front, followed closely behind, and entered the Water Burial Valley together.
The surface of the mountains in the valley is covered with honeycomb-like holes, covered with thick greasy moss, and there are many slippery traces of snakes and insects crawling through them.
"The mountains and rivers here used to be bright, and the air was at least very refreshing." Rossi sighed.
The situation was unclear, and both chose to walk cautiously rather than fly into the air, which could easily be targeted.
There are no rocks or dirt under your feet, but a smooth road.
I don't know what kind of ghost destroyed the bone residue, rotting aquatic plants, sticky silt, and pale talisman paper fragments mixed together, forming a swamp.
The burial water was still being pumped into the sky, turning into gray and black fog one by one, this was after the fierce battle, and the remaining power of the spell was still affecting the surroundings.
It's just a spell, Ning Zhuo can only see that it is not water,
"There must have been a terrifying bombardment of spells here!"
The further you go inside, the more protruding the mountain walls on both sides become. Under the swirling black and gray water vapor, it seemed that all kinds of hideous ghosts could pounce on them at any time.
The two of them had already exuded divine consciousness and activated the detection spell.
I walked carefully for hundreds of steps, and the distance between the mountain walls on both sides became wider and wider.
Turning a corner, there was a wide battlefield in front of the two of them,
The ground was flat, half of it was thick frost, the cold was pressing, and half was scorched, as if it had been scorched by flames.
The foothills on both sides are intertwined with spider web-like cracks. On the mountain wall, there are many distorted lines and scars, and it is difficult to imagine how they have suffered.
"What are these?" Ning Zhuo squinted his eyes slightly, and his heart sank.
On the edge of the battlefield on the opposite side, he found a lot of paper figure remnants!
The two of them walked through this battlefield, and as they narrowed the distance, it was easy to identify the young and the big head, and these paper figure remnants were the paper man army of the White Paper Immortal City.
The two continued to walk forward and found that the paper figure debris on the mountain road had increased significantly.
Torn paper arms, paper legs, shattered paper armor, and deformed pieces of paper weapons are mixed with dirt and rubble to form a scalp-tingling confetti graveyard.
After a while, the two arrived at the middle of the Water Burial Valley.
A big change here!
The originally vast mountain road was buried and blocked by a large number of broken rocks, forming a pile of rocks.
And in this pile of rocks, there were several huge and mutilated bodies as large as mountains.
Most of the body of a hundred-armed ghost god was covered by rocks, and most of the hundreds of giant arms were actually cut off by Qi Gen! Most of the remaining dozens of arms were also twisted and broken, hanging weakly.
The huge body was covered with huge claw marks that were deeply visible, as well as scorched black holes running through the front chest and back.
His head with huge horns had left his body and was thrown into the distance.
Luo Si said in a deep voice: "This is a hundred-armed ghost."
He stared at the heads of ghosts and gods in the distance, his eyes condensed on the distorted expressions of the ghosts and gods.
There is not just one ghost and god who died in battle.
A ghost with a female figure with a lower body full of tree roots and a full chest on the upper body, the body is embedded in the stone wall.
¤￠o
His robe was tattered, and there were many war-torn black glazed lanterns around him.
Ross continued: "This is a ghost lamp master."
After walking a few hundred steps, the two found an empty skull throne lying upside down on the ground.
The throne is huge.
On the ground not far from the throne, a pile of rubble buried almost all the bodies of the third ghost.
Only one right forearm is exposed.
The arm was covered with cracks, and blue light was reflected outward from the cracks. The blue light is faint and quite weird.
Ning Zhuo and Luo Si's hearts were shaken.
Except for the third one, the first two are all ghosts with outstanding combat power.
Judging from their breaths, they are all god-level!
But they all paid the price with their lives.
Even if they are ordinary, inferior to top god-transforming monks such as Lord Wangchuan and the Silent Ghost Monk, they are still god-level combat power.
"The battle here must be very fierce!" Ross sighed.
Ning Zhuo's eyes were faint, and he naturally thought of the three people in the paper man army who asked for the god paper to be ashamed.
"This army of paper men led by my mother encountered a strong enemy in the valley. The vast majority of the soldiers were broken in front, so they sprinkled scraps of paper all the way."
"At this point, she had to use the three pieces of paper to ask the gods to bring down these three ghosts and gods."
"In the end, the ghosts and gods sacrificed, but my mother was able to move on!"
Ning Zhuo restored the battle in his mind, and he couldn't help but worry even more: "Every time my mother does it, it will greatly damage her spirituality. She is in limited condition and can't last long."
Thinking of this, in addition to being solemn, Ning Zhuo's heart ignited a fire of anxiety.
The same goes for Ross.
The two of them accelerated their pace in unison, and finally reached the deepest part of the Water Burial Valley.
The scene in front of him made Ning Zhuo and Luo Siru feel like they were struck by lightning and forgot to breathe!
The terrain at the bottom of the valley has been completely rewritten!
A giant pit with a diameter of tens of feet and a depth of more than ten feet occupies the core!
The pit wall is as smooth as a mirror, leaving traces of high-temperature melting.
There was sticky magma flowing in the pit, which reminded Ning Zhuo of Fire Persimmon Mountain.
At the edge of the crater, the earth took on an eerie, wave-like twisted form, and all the rocks were pushed around, filled with frost, scorched marks, corroded pits, and so on.
The two people's consciousness continued to spread, and the detection spell penetrated in all directions.
Luo Si was the first to discover: "There is a simple magic circle hidden in the magma."
The magic circle had reached the Jindan level, but it was too crude, so that Luo Si made a move and easily cracked a hole.
The two of them followed the hole entrance and drilled into the formation space.
"Mother!" Ning Zhuo's body trembled, his Adam's apple rolled, and he almost spat out his heart.
"Gray Bone Senior!" Luo Si exclaimed.
The gray bone old man was dressed in a wide gray robe, his body was thin, he was lying flat on the ground, motionless, and had no breath at all.
His head seemed to have been torn off in half by some kind of claw.
But his eyes were closed, and his body was hastily processed.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin sat cross-legged next to the gray bone old man.
She held the snake scythe in one hand, and the bottom of the scythe was deeply inserted into the boulder plate.
She lost half of her body, half of her arm, and one of her left legs. From the huge breakage, you can see that the inner pivot is completely twisted and deformed.
At the wound, the spiritual network was broken, like a silk ribbon hanging down.
The chalcedony spiritual liquid that condensed the faint Buddha's light fell from the cracks bit by bit.
The scorched holes, the cracks frozen by the ice, and the terrifying penetration of the wound.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin's head hung down, stained with blood and dirt. Her left eye was already a black hole, and the mechanisms inside were completely destroyed, leaving only a few broken spiritual channels.
She should have fallen instead of sitting cross-legged with her upper body straight. The big snake sickle was on the ground, giving her the only support.
Ning Zhuo keenly noticed that the only remaining right hand of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin clasped the long handle of the sickle with five fingers like iron tongs.
Her knuckles were even slightly distorted and deformed due to extreme force, as if she wanted to merge with this murder weapon, revealing a will to fight to the death and protect her loved ones!
Ning Zhuo's eyes were red, and he finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Mother!"
This call made Ross immediately cast his gaze.
Huge sadness and boundless horror filled Ning Zhuo's body and mind. He knelt down and threw himself in front of the Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin did not respond, and there was a dead silence.
Ning Zhuo suppressed his almost broken mind, his fingertips trembled uncontrollably, carefully probing the condition of this broken immortal puppet.
The spirituality of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin completely disappeared!
This broke Ning Zhuo's heart and soul, and he almost collapsed directly.
He suddenly understood that he had also paid an extremely heavy price in order to destroy the century-old trick of Lord Wangchuan.
And this price, he couldn't accept it at all!
Dah.
At this moment, an inaudible soft sound came out, like the loosening of the bracket reed.
Then, a jade slip slipped out of the body of the Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin. Ning Zhuo subconsciously reached out and scooped it up in his hand before it fell to the ground.
Luo Si's eyes were also red, and he knelt beside the gray bone old man, he was temporarily attracted by the strange sound, and looked at Ning Zhuo with a look full of sadness and an inquiring color.
Ning Zhuo immediately sank his consciousness into the jade slip.
The next moment, his heart was shaken.
All because the content in this jade slip was specially left to him by his mother.
"Clumsy, don't despair. The mother did not really die, but with the help of strange means, she left a breath. In the future, you will go to the Vientiane Sect, open your mother's cave, and take all its things. When the snake scythe trembles, the time has come. Please cremate your mother's lifetime, and you can regain your spiritual light."
"At that time, maybe my mother will be able to take advantage of this to be a blessing in disguise and master more of the mysteries of strange paths."
When Ning Zhuo saw this, he immediately stopped crying, as if he had returned to the human world from hell.
"Mother!" He slumped on the ground, with no strength at all, and felt more exhausted than he had been in the altar battlefield not long ago.
Fortunately, fortunately, everything is still salvageable.
There was not a lot of content in the jade slip, and Ning Zhuo immediately read it after he calmed down.
"The Water Burial Valley has become a Jedi. Alas, although he joined forces with the gray bone senior and killed the strong enemy, he did not save him after all."
"Clumsy, Lord Wangchuan will never give up! You must leave here immediately, out of hell! Don't stay for a moment!"
"The city lord of the White Paper Immortal City - you need to be cautious and guard against it. Regardless of whether Lord Wangchuan wins or loses, for the White Paper Immortal City, this moment and that moment."
"Therefore, you must properly place the Qingjiao Army."
"Let them stay in the dark and wet marshes, and let them enter the underworld from time to time."
"For my mother, I got the guidance of the gray bone seniors and explored many of the backhands of the Xuansu scholar. With the help of these backhands and military branches, they can travel between yin and yang and continue to exert influence in the swamp."
"You need to take care of Qingchi yourself! I believe you have several conjectures about her. These doubts will be answered in the future."
"You must not let her continue to stay in the Qingjiao Army, nor can you leave her in the White Paper Immortal City. This will make her life unsafe."
"Take her away and go to the Vientiane Sect together."
"Before you die, Senior Gray Bone allows me to teach you the "Water Burial Chong and the Virtue Sutra"."
"You need to diligently practice this Taoist scripture, accumulate merit, and eliminate the hatred of the heavens in the underworld for you—"
"When you arrive at the Vientiane Sect, you can go find her - she is my mother's best friend, you can try to trust her."
"My mother is in the Vientiane Sect, and she also has an industry of talisman paper. You identify yourself and you can inherit it."
"Do you remember what your mother told you? Don't explore the chaotic door, your strength is far from enough now."
Ning Zhuo stood in place, like a clay sculpture and wood carving for a while.
Mother's message, every word was like a hammer, hitting his heart,
All kinds of arrangements, between the lines, all reveal a mother's love and concern for her son.
