The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Xiang Wanqing held the Seven Star Sword in one hand and held Li Muchen in the other, as happy as a little girl who bought new clothes.

But Li Muchen looked a little grim.

The earth is dark and unclear, and the spiritual consciousness can be far away, but it is difficult to see clearly.

Strictly speaking, there is no direction here, not to mention southeast, northwest, even up and down seems difficult to distinguish. The misty mountain shadows in the distance roll up and back from the sky, making people feel like they are walking inside a sphere. On the surface.

But if you look back and don't look that far away, you seem to be able to see the gloomy sky and thick clouds.

This feeling is very strange.

Especially the spiritual energy here is very thin, but it is also filled with another kind of "spiritual energy", and it is unclear what it is.

"Mu Chen, you see, although the color of this place is monotonous, it is free and comfortable. No one cares about us, and no one needs us to care about us. The troubles in the world have disappeared here. If you are alone, you may feel lonely. But now the two of us don’t have to be afraid of being alone, we can only be comfortable and happy, right?”

Xiang Wanqing chattered like a little bird, completely unlike the senior sister in the past.

Li Muchen said: "Sister, I'm afraid we are not the only ones here."

"Ah? Who else?" Xiang Wanqing asked in surprise.

"Senior sister, look." Li Muchen pointed forward.

Xiang Wanqing looked in the direction of his finger and saw a body lying in the darkness on the roadside ahead.

How do you say this thing? You can’t tell what it is, it’s not an animal or a human being, so you can’t even tell what the word “corpse” is, because a corpse refers to the body left behind after the death of a former life, but you can’t tell whether it was once a life. .

The point is, it's ugly, indescribably ugly, completely beyond words.

This kind of ugliness is deeply imprinted in people's hearts, making them feel disgusted, disgusted and even afraid unconsciously.

Even if someone like Xiang Wanqing has a very advanced level of cultivation and has already broken through the innateness, and just understood the secret of the Seven Stars from the shocking battle between Li Muchen and the second senior brother's sword intent, he would still be shocked.

"what is this?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the devil from hell." Li Muchen said.

"Don't ghosts look similar to humans?"

"That's all a figment of people's imagination."

"Why do people imagine ghosts to be similar to humans?"

"Because I can't imagine what I haven't seen before! No matter how powerful we cultivators are, can you imagine something you haven't seen before?"

"That's true, I can't think of it at all."

"There is another reason. Most of the evil in the world is caused by human beings. It is said that demons are in the world. It is reasonable for people to imagine ghosts as similar to humans!" Li Muchen said.

Xiang Wanqing said with emotion: "Mu Chen, you are beyond the way of heaven, but you still care about all sentient beings in the world, instead of following your own way. It is really rare."

Li Muchen smiled and said: "It is easy to follow your own path alone, but it is difficult to follow the path of others. Everyone can choose a different path. If I abandon the world and ignore it, it means I have given up my own path."

"So you would rather betray God than humans?"

“It’s not about living up to others, it’s about living up to your heart.”

"What a great person!" Xiang Wanqing gave a thumbs up and a firm look, "Mu Chen, no matter what happens, I support you!"

"Thank you, senior sister."

The two walked while talking. Because the body was really ugly, they walked around it.

Unexpectedly, such bodies appeared on the ground in front of them again, not just one, but more and more, lying on the ground in a mess.

The two couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to.

Li Muchen knelt down and checked for a while, then said, "It seems that they all died under the sword of Second Senior Brother."

"Really?" Xiang Wanqing asked curiously, "But I didn't feel the sword intention of the second senior brother. The remaining sword intention was so obvious at the place where the troll died in front."

Li Muchen said: "Because these evil ghosts are much weaker than the giant demon, the second senior brother didn't need to exert much force at all, and he might not even have drawn his sword. He just walked past here with the void sword intention in his heart, and they were already dead. "

Xiang Wanqing nodded in shock, once again recognizing the strength of the second senior brother.

They moved on.

There are more and more evil ghost corpses ahead, but they are all distributed on both sides, as if they have specially made a way.

Li Muchen imagined the scene of the second senior brother passing by:

Countless evil spirits blocked the way, but the second senior brother turned a blind eye, walked lightly and calmly, and walked forward leisurely. The evil spirits fell down one after another and stepped aside to make way for them. Occasionally, those who fell in the middle of the road were cut into ashes by the void sword intent of the second senior brother.

Feeling the second senior brother's footwork, Li Muchen's heart arose with the intention of the vertical and horizontal sword, and the image of the devil's dance appeared in the misty void in the distance.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a pass appeared in front of me.

There are steep cliffs on both sides, gray clouds rising up into the sky, then rolling back down in the air, and inserting into the earth, forming a closed loop.

There is no other way except a crevice in the middle that is only for one person to pass through.

On the ground next to the fork, there is a broken plaque. It is made of unknown material and has been broken into two parts.

There are words written on it, and when you put the two broken plaques together, you can see that they happen to be three large ancient seal characters:

gate of hell

"Hey, is this the legendary Gate of Hell?" Xiang Wanqing asked curiously, "I read it in the ancient book of Tiandu. It said that the weak water and the underworld will block the gate of ghosts. Once the gate of ghosts is closed, no gods can open it."

Li Muchen said: "Why haven't I read this book?"

Xiang Wanqing smiled and said: "How many years have you been in Tiandu? There are still many books you haven't read!"

Then he said, "This sign should have been chopped up by the second senior brother. Really, the second senior brother, why did he chop the plaque into pieces? If anyone comes here in the future, they won't know that it is a gate of hell."

"Second Senior Brother probably chopped more than just a plaque." Li Muchen raised his head and looked at the deep gorge and the continuous cliffs on both sides of the gorge.

Xiang Wanqing was shocked: "You mean... the second senior brother split this mountain?!"

Li Muchen nodded: "There was no sword intention left just now because those evil ghosts were too weak and not worthy of the second brother to draw the sword; there is no sword intention here because the mountain is too high and deep, and the sword intention penetrated deeply and there was no trace left. Or to be precise, this is not a mountain. There is no sky and no ground here. There is no road at all before the gate of hell. It was the two senior brothers who carved a road. "

Xiang Wanqing looked at the gap in front of her in surprise: "It turned out to be split with a sword, no wonder it is so narrow and steep!"

"Sister, I'll go in first, you follow me."

Because only one person could enter or exit the pass, Li Muchen was prepared to walk ahead to cope with the unknown changes.

"No, I'm senior sister. I'm older than you. I'll go first." Xiang Wanqing held him back and walked into the crevice first.

After taking two steps, it seemed as if he just remembered that Li Muchen was no longer the junior brother he was back then. He turned around and said with a smile: "No matter how powerful you are now, you will always be my junior junior brother. In my eyes, you are just a brat!" "

After saying that, he made a face, smiled, turned around and walked forward.

Li Muchen seemed to have returned many years ago, being protected and cared for by Xiang Wanqing, and his heart felt warm.

Thinking that the second senior brother had passed by here and the dangers ahead had probably been eliminated, Li Muchen did not insist and followed Xiang Wanqing.
