Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

"who are you?"

Looking at the broken sword on the boat, Gu Xing asked warily.

"I do not know."

The childish voice sounded in Gu Xing's ears again, making him confirm that what he just heard was not an illusion.

but……

"You do not know?"

Gu Xing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking a lot in his mind.

This broken sword is undoubtedly the sword worn by the ancestor of Xuanyi Sect, so the sword spirit on it is probably also an ancient figure.

But the voice right now is so childish, like a child's.

And he couldn't help but recall the faint consciousness he felt in the mausoleum.

Could it be that the sword spirit on this sword has actually passed away?

What's on the sword now is a new sword spirit?

So Gu Xing asked.

"Are you a sword spirit?"

"do not know."

"How did you come?"

"do not know."

"Why are you in the sword?"

"do not know."

"..."

This guy doesn't know anything about it. Is he fooling himself?

A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Xing's heart.

Then, he asked casually.

"Do you know where this place is?"

But what's surprising is that this time the childish voice didn't say she didn't know.

"Yellow Springs Road," it said.

Huangquan Road?

As soon as this name came out, Gu Xing was shocked.

This thing is not unfamiliar to him!

In his previous life, he had read many works related to Huangquan Road since he was a child.

After all, according to feudal superstition, after death, a person will turn into a ghost and enter the gate of hell, and then walk a long, long way before being reincarnated.

There are many checkpoints on this road, so this road is called Huangquan Road.

Speaking of which, when he first arrived at this ghost place, Gu Xing did see an illusory door behind him.

Is that the gate of hell?

But he is not dead?

Gu Xing was confused, but for a moment, he was too lazy to think so much and continued to ask.

"Do you know anything else about Huangquan Road?"

"do not know."

"Then do you know how to leave?"

"know."

"How to leave?"

"How did you come and how did you leave?"

"gate of hell?"

"Yeah, but it's too late now. Once you cross the river, you can't go back."

Just as Gu Xing and Duan Jian were talking, they had already reached the other side. The ferryman was holding a long pole, waiting for him to disembark.

Gu Xing summoned the big bird again, grabbed its legs and tried to fly back.

However, no matter how the big birds flapped their wings, their position did not change at all, and they even showed signs of flying towards the mist.

Gu Xing hurriedly got back into the boat and looked at Broken Sword.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask."

Gu Xing: "..."

"Is there any other way to leave?"

"Have."

"any solution?"

"There is a dry well outside Fengdu. There is a formation in the well. You can escape through the formation."

"How do you know this?"

Gu Xing looked at it meaningfully.

"Don't know." it said.

"Okay, let's go then."

Gu Xing didn't bother to tell whether it really didn't know, he just grabbed it, wrapped it in cloth again, and carried it behind his back.

Then, he stepped into the fog.

The fog was so hazy that one could not clearly see the surrounding scene even a few steps away.

Gu Xing scanned his surroundings and found nothing but a bumpy dirt road under his feet.

So, he was not in a hurry to leave, but asked again.

"How should I get to Fengdu?"

"Follow your subconscious?"

"My subconscious?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"When you step onto the Huangquan Road, the Huangquan Road will guide you on the way forward. This road leads to Fengdu and finally reaches the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

Guidance?

Gu Xing thought of his inexplicable desire to cross the river and his hesitation in stepping into the mist.

This shouldn't be guidance, but misleading, right?

He did not argue with Broken Sword about the strictness of the wording, but continued to ask.

"Does reincarnation really exist in this world?"

"do not know."

"Didn't you say that the end of the road to hell is the six paths of reincarnation?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you say you don't know?"

"Because no one can come back alive from the six paths of reincarnation."

No one came back alive?

Gu Xing was startled, then said seriously.

"Tell me about this Huangquan Road. I believe you should know something. Stop saying you don't know, otherwise I will throw this hellish place into your hands."

Perhaps the threat had an effect. As soon as he said these words, Broken Sword was silent for a while.

Gu Xing didn't rush him and waited quietly.

After another moment, a childish voice sounded.

"I don't know much. I searched my consciousness to find some relevant information."

"Tell me."

"In the past, there was actually no Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Road to Hell. Their appearance originated from an incident."

"What incident?"

"I don't know." After saying these three words, Duanjian added, "There is no record of this matter in my memory."

"Okay, what else?"

"Many people were trapped on Huangquan Road. In the end, only a few people managed to escape."

"From the dry well you mentioned?"

"Yes."

"Huangquan Road traps people... I mean, why would Huangquan Road target me?"

This time, Broken Sword remained silent for even longer.

However, in the end, it spoke.

"do not know."

"is it?"

Gu Xing didn't ask any more questions, just smiled.

At this time, he was looking at the open book in his mind.

In the mysterious book, the majestic ghost gate, the mottled bluestone road, the terrifying strong wind, the rushing river, and the tiny ferryman on the river are all vividly presented in the corner of the page.

Only part of the whole picture has been revealed, which is exactly what Gu Xing experienced.

Looking down, there were not many words, but at first, it shocked Gu Xing for a moment.

【Huangquan Road】

【Mythical weirdness】

[Evolved from the mythical concept "Yellow Spring Road"...]

【? ? ? 】

There were still many strange introductions that had not appeared, but what Gu Xing was concerned about was not this, but the three words "mythical species".

This is a weird type that Gu Xing has never heard of, and there is no record of it in the Exorcist Division or the Taoist Academy.

Judging from the only description, the formation of this mythical species is quite miraculous, and it evolved from the concept of mythology.

In other words, there was no such thing as Huangquan Road originally, and the concept was just a myth passed down from word of mouth.

But now, he has turned into a real weirdo.

This strange one is extremely huge and extremely powerful.

At least until now, Gu Xing couldn't tell what level this strange power was.

Fortunately, except for the "eighth man" who appeared at an unknown time, the strange creature named "Huangquan Road" did not seem to deliberately target him.

However, when talking about the mythical species, Gu Xing remembered the "little clay figurines" from before and the Lord Wa who made them.

If Huangquan Road can turn into something strange, then what about Nuwa?

Is this Lord Wa also a mythical species?

This question was very intriguing, but Gu Xing did not continue to think about it.

Because at this time, he discovered that there were shadows all around, and something seemed to be surrounding him.
