The madman goes down the mountain: I have five stunning masters

"I'll explain the eighteen levels of hell to you later!"

Ye Lingyun walked directly into the cave, and Lao Ming and Lao Cang followed behind him.

The entrance to the cave is very small, but the moment you step in, the view suddenly opens up.

This is a circular cave with a radius of three hundred meters.

There is a circular platform on the ground in the center of the cave.

The high platform is covered with dark patterns.

Ye Lingyun could see that these were the patterns of the teleportation array, and the four grooves around them were where the Nether Stones were placed.

Lao Ming pointed at the platform and said, "This is the short-distance teleportation array. It has not been used for who knows how many years. It should still be usable."

"There are eighteen levels of hell, and there are short-distance teleportation arrays between each level for our internal personnel to use in emergency situations."

"I'm taking you to the eighth level of hell. Please stand in the center of the teleportation array."

When Ye Lingyun stood in the center, Lao Ming waved his sleeves and put four middle-grade dark stones in, and shouted: "Open!"

hum!

Four black beams of light shot out from where the four dark stones were placed.

Dark, curving runes began to flow.

hum!

A black beam of light enveloped Ye Lingyun.

The next second, Ye Lingyun disappeared.

Ye Lingyun's eyes went dark and he felt a slight sense of weightlessness. In just a moment he appeared in a pitch-black space.

call!

A cold, salty wind blew towards me, carrying with it a thick layer of water vapor.

However, Ye Lingyun knew that this was not normal water vapor, but the corrosive and withering water vapor emitted by the Nether Water.

A rustling sound was heard in his ears, and Ye Lingyun could accurately judge that there should be a stream or a river in front of him.

Swish!

There was the sound of wind beside him, and Lao Ming's voice rang out: "My friend, the river in front of you is the Wangchuan River, which contains a large amount of Hades water."

As he spoke, a dim lantern was held high.

The tall and thin figure, who was a little taller than Ye Lingyun, standing next to Ye Lingyun was Lao Ming.

The figure behind Lao Ming that seemed a little illusive was none other than Lao Cang.

Under Ye Lingyun's feet was a river as black as ink, flowing slowly.

Because it was so dark, he couldn't see how wide the river was, let alone see the other side.

However, the temperature near the River Styx is very low.

Moreover, Ye Lingyun seemed to hear the shrill roars of ghosts in his ears, which made people shudder.

It sounded like the unwilling howling of lonely ghosts seen in Changshou Village. It had no home and floated around at night.

During the day, they would hide in the locust tree forest where there was no sunlight.

Old Ming said calmly: "Young friend, if you want the Dark Stone, you should also need Dark Water. You can take more."

"On the opposite bank of the Styx is the Nether Stone mine. We can take a boat over there and you can collect it along the way."

As he was speaking, a white dot appeared on the surface of the river and approached this side rapidly.

A white boat appeared in Ye Lingyun's sight.

It's starting to look like a paper boat.

However, as the paper boat got closer, Ye Lingyun discovered that it was not a paper boat at all, but a boat made of an unknown white wood.

It's just that the wood is so thin that at first glance it looks like it's made of paper.

Seeing Ye Lingyun's confusion, Lao Cang said calmly: "When people in the world of the living commemorate the dead, they use paper boats to express their respect and remembrance for the deceased, and to wish the deceased a smooth journey."

"This boat is formed by the incense sticks from the paper boats burned by the living in the underworld every time they commemorate the dead."

"Old Ming, am I right?"

Lao Ming nodded slightly: "What Lao Cang said is correct, but there is another story about this white boat."

"Some souls died in a foreign country. Their families couldn't find the person, so they would burn a paper boat and use it to bring the soul back to the underworld."

At this point he sighed softly: "The underworld has not been opened for many years."

"The souls of those who died in foreign countries must have been sent here by paper boats from their relatives and friends."

"But there was no support from us on this side, so they were all sent back by the paper boat."

"It is estimated that half or even more of the souls, fearing that they would be sent back, floated out of the white ship and tried to fly to the other side of the Styx."

"It's a pity that they have no chance of success. They were sucked into the Styx water and can't escape."

"After being washed and soaked in the water of the Styx for a long time, they are no longer pure divine souls. They have become evil souls and fierce souls."

"But the water of the Styx has some natural restraint on these ghosts. They can't escape no matter what."

"Perhaps for them, this is the ultimate destination of immortality."

Ye Lingyun nodded slightly: "I understand, this is why I heard so many evil spirit voices."

"There's just one thing I don't understand. Why would they rather fly here than return?"

Since these ghosts came here by boat, why don’t they just return? Why don’t they want to go back?

Old Ming looked at the Styx and said, "It's very simple. They were picked up by a paper boat and when they passed by the Styx mine on the opposite side, they encountered something that scared them."

"As for what it is, I'm not sure."

He turned to Ye Lingyun and said, "My friend, there are unknown things on the other side, as well as top-grade Nether Stone veins and mid-grade Spirit Stone veins."

"If you are not afraid, you can follow me to see what is preventing these lonely souls from returning."

"Defeat the unknown thing, and the top-grade and mid-grade Nether Stone ore veins will be yours. I can also help you move the complete ore veins out and give them to you."

"Moreover, I will also give you a vein of top-grade spirit stone. How about that?"

Ye Lingyun laughed and said, "It turns out that taking me to dig the Nether Stone Mine is not for nothing. I need to pay a price."

"Old Ming, you are really good at calculating."

"Well, let's go over and take a look. I'll do my best to help you deal with whatever you encounter."

"But if what's on the other side is beyond our capabilities, we can only turn back."

"But you still have to fulfill your promise to me to dig up the Hades Stone. Your secondary soul promised it, so it should be considered your promise, right?"

Ye Lingyun was very excited by the conditions proposed by Lao Ming.

The top-grade Nether Stone Mine is alive. It is the dragon vein of the underworld, a vein that can regenerate Nether Energy.

With the top-grade Nether Stone Mine, he no longer has to worry about the training of the army of Nether Beasts in his magic bead.

Find a place to bury the top-grade Nether Stone Mine so you can practice on it.

Moreover, as long as it is not over-exploited, the top-grade Nether Stone veins will continue to produce Nether Stone, once and for all.

Besides, Lao Ming also promised to give him a vein of top-grade spirit stone.

The top-grade spirit stone ore veins work on the same principle as the top-grade underworld stones, and can be regenerated to allow him to practice.

He won’t have to worry about the spirit stones he needs for his cultivation in the future, and maybe he can even break through to the Nascent Soul stage on Blue Star.
