Treasure Hunt

Shui Miao's fingers on the little ghost's neck gradually tightened: "I'm asking you once, where did you come from?"

"Chacha—little one, I'm a kid from the Land Punishment Division. This is the first time I've come up to do evil, so please let me go." The little ghost begged for mercy.

Shui Miao was stunned, the ghost of the third division of the land boundary?How did it come to the ground?As early as a hundred years ago, the passage between the land and the human world was sealed off, and from then on, the little ghosts from the land world could no longer go up to the ground to misbehave, but now, the little ghosts from the Sanshidian came up.

Shui Miao asked: "The passage between the world and the world is sealed, how did you get up?"

"Chacha—the passage has been opened—chacha—it's on a mountain not far away." The kid said, stretching out his dark fingers to point in a direction.

Shui Miao looked in the direction the little ghost pointed, and suddenly her eyes widened in disbelief.Because the direction the little ghost pointed was southeast.

However, there is only one mountain range in the southeast of Xiaoyang Imperial City, stretching thousands of miles from north to south, like a natural barrier.

That mountain range is Zhaoyin Mountain!

The passageway between human and earth actually lies in Zhaoyin Mountain? !

Shui Miao's eyes turned hard, and the dragon's claws tightened suddenly, and said word by word: "I won't break your soul, you go back to the realm immediately!"

"Chacha—chacha—little one, I'll go back now."

After finishing speaking, Shui Miao let go of his hand, and as soon as he let go, the kid quickly ran away towards the mountains.

Shui Miao looked at the black smoke around her, and rubbed her eyebrows secretly. There are countless little ghosts like this with only a mass of souls. They have no real lethality, but even if they are scared, they can scare ordinary people to death.

What's more, these little ghosts are too dark, and it is easy to ruin the lifespan of the common people. In short, we still have to find a way to drive these little ghosts back to the realm as soon as possible.

I just don't know, where is Shuihao now, and what happened to Nanci in the boundary?Seeing so many little ghosts running out of the boundary, Shui Miao's heart skipped a beat. He always felt that the current situation in the boundary was not optimistic.

Heaven

The Mingluan Hall is grand and magnificent, surrounded by fairy clouds, layer upon layer.In the Mingluan Hall, the Emperor of Heaven is sitting on the golden throne with his eyes closed.

Ling Xiao: "My emperor, I heard that the imperial city of Xiaoyang Kingdom is not peaceful recently."

The Emperor of Heaven closed his eyes and fell asleep: "Well, it's really not peaceful."

Ling Xiao flipped through the manual and said, "This is the first time I've heard that so many ghosts gather in one city. Do you want to send someone to deal with it?"

The Emperor of Heaven slowly opened his eyes and said: "This is not the first time, there was once a hundred years ago, and it was done by one person."

Ling Xiao was surprised. Since she was not in the current official position a hundred years ago, she asked curiously: "A hundred years ago...was also the Emperor Hades? What happened that time?"

The Heavenly Emperor rolled his eyes at Ling Xiao's curious face, and said, "A hundred years ago, all ghosts flooded into the palace of Xiaoyang Kingdom at the same time, and no one with the surname Yuhuang survived, and Xiaoyang Kingdom changed its dynasty."

Ling Xiao paused for a moment and didn't say anything else. She only heard that a hundred years ago, except for the heavens, everywhere was not peaceful.

The demon king of Xizhou changed hands, the new emperor of the world ascended the throne, and the emperor of the underworld ascended the throne.It's just that they didn't know that the reform in the world was actually because the new emperor of the underworld came to the throne.It seems that the underworld emperor of the land boundary has a lot of hatred with the royal family of Xiaoyang country.

Ling Xiao smacked his lips and continued to ask: "Then my emperor, the human world...do you want to stand by and watch? But after all, there are people from the heaven involved." Ling Xiao didn't dare to mention Huaxu's name directly, after all Frankly speaking, this has little to do with Jiang Yu's task of hunting treasures in the lower realm, and he doesn't know what his emperor thinks.

The Emperor of Heaven snorted coldly, and said: "Don't think I don't know, you stole that kid's sword, and I won't punish you, because this is the intention of the Three Realms. The fate of the human world is also controlled. In the hands of people from the Three Realms."

Ling Xiao was frightened into a cold sweat when he heard the previous words, but he was relieved when he heard that the Heavenly Emperor had no intention of punishing him, and the big stone in his heart was relieved, and he muttered to himself that this was a great help to her!When Hua Xu sent her the letter, she was still worried.Now it seems that it is thanks to Hua Xu's foresight.

Out of the corner of the Emperor's eyes, he saw Ling Xiao's small movements, and said, "Everything is already doomed, just do your job well. I believe Hua Xu, he can handle the affairs of the human world well."

"Yes, my lord."

……

After Nanci and Yinxi left the Underworld Palace, they returned to the ground along the way they came. It was still the crack when they came, and they spanned a vast territory from north to south.

The two walked with their swords and flew towards the direction of the East China Sea.Nan Ci had a premonition that something happened to Donghai, and Lu Chen had something to do with it.

The two flew all day, and finally arrived near Zhaoyin Mountain in the evening. The reason why they didn't go any further was because Nanci felt a very strong yin here!That is the yin energy carried by the dead imp.

Nanci frowned and looked at the layers of green hills below the clouds. For some reason, he suddenly thought of the last time he came to Zhaoyin Temple. At that time, Zhaoyin Temple was also so dark.

Nanci found a hilltop and landed, just in time to meet the people of Shuiying and the surviving people from Linhai Town to set up camp on the hilltop, Nanci walked towards Xiaonizi: "Xiaoying, where is Sishui?"

Shui Ying looked back, but saw Nanci, his eyes lit up: "Brother Nanci! You've come!"

Nanci asked, "What's wrong?"

"After the second brother went to the imperial city, there was no news. The third brother also went to the imperial city to find the second brother. There was a flood in the East China Sea, and the towns by the sea were submerged. Many people were killed. Only these people are left. The king's body and bones are not as good as before, and the Dragon Palace is in chaos! I want to use the formula to control the sea water, but the flood seems to be fierce, and it doesn't listen to the order at all."

Xiao Nizi, on the other hand, took Nanci as her backbone, and vomited out all the bad things she had encountered these days like beans.

Listening to Shui Ying's words, Nanci frowned, touched the little girl's head, and said, "You stay here, don't run around, if there is me, I will go to the East China Sea to have a look."

Shuiying pulled Nanci's sleeve, and said worriedly: "Brother Nanci, be careful."

Nanci nodded, and flew towards the direction of the flood with Yinxi.

The Jingxie Sword did not fly very high, and along the way, the sights that greeted the two of them were beyond their imagination.The flood kept surging and beating.The tree trunks and wood floating everywhere have become black and scorched, as if they have been roasted by something, floating on the water like duckweed, looking around, the eyes are full of desolation, and the original appearance of the town can no longer be seen up.

"Father, can you fly lower?" Yinxi asked suddenly.

Nan Ci was puzzled, but he still urged Jing Xie to lower it a little. With only a few feet away, Nan Ci felt something strange.After a few feet lower, the feeling just now became more obvious.

The Jingxie Sword had been flying at the same altitude before, and it didn't feel like there was anything wrong. However, during the descent, Nanci felt that the surrounding temperature had changed, although the change was minimal.

Could it be.... Nanci raised his eyebrows... The Jingxie Sword slowly descended and almost touched the water.

Yinxi squatted down, stretched out his hand to shake the sea water below, and exclaimed: "My lord, this fruit is really hot!"

The climate in the coastal area is humid, and the temperature will not be too low. In the evening, after a day of sunlight, it seems reasonable that the seawater temperature should be higher, but the seawater temperature is too high!If the temperature is higher than usual, something is wrong.

Nan Ci said: "No wonder, those black trees I saw just now should have been scorched."

Yinxi asked: "Although the temperature of this water is not normal, but if you want to roast the trees into a black burnt color, it shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Nanci was silent for a moment, then said: "Naturally, ordinary fire can't do it... But there is a kind of fire that can..."

Yinxi was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "Purgatory fire!"

Nanci nodded. Purgatory fire is an extremely powerful and domineering fire. Ordinary plants must be destroyed immediately, without even a little ashes. Moreover, purgatory fire is not limited by temperature, even in the sea. It can also ignite fire, just like when Nanci used the purgatory fire of nothingness to burn the body of the Chi-nosed Whale.

Yinxi asked: "Father, are there any other places in this world where there is fire in purgatory?"

Nan Ci shook his head and smiled bitterly: "As far as I know, there is only one place."

——— Purgatory sea of ​​flames.

Under the magma of the sea of ​​living spirits, there is an inextinguishable sea of ​​purgatory flames, which have been burning for tens of millions of years.And the fire of purgatory got its name because of this. If there are fires of purgatory in other places in the world, what qualifications does this kind of fire have to be called purgatory?Yinxi was stunned for a moment, and naturally thought of something, hesitantly said: "Then...does it mean...there is a purgatory fire in this water?..."

Nanci shook his head, looked at the vast expanse of sea water, and said, "I guess it's more than... such a large sea, a little fire is too small..." Although the purgatory fire is strong, the vast East China Sea is infinite. If the water temperature can It has risen to the present, and the water temperature in the entire sea area should be so high...that is not something a small fire can do...

Nanci's eyes sank, and he said, "I'm afraid...there is a whole purgatory sea of ​​flames in the East China Sea!"

Yinxi was startled, and said in amazement: "You mean, Emperor Hades brought the entire sea of ​​flames into the East China Sea? How did he do it? What did he want to do?" With ability, Yinxi really can't think of anyone else who can transfer the entire sea of ​​flames.

Nan Ci shook his head, he didn't know how Lu Chen did it, but what he wanted to do... The answer was self-evident, he wanted the whole human world to become an endless purgatory!

Nanci meditator, the passage connecting the two worlds of man and earth has been reopened. If he guessed right, it should be near the Zhaoyin Mountains. In addition to the gathering of ghosts in the Xiaoyang Imperial City that Shui Miao said earlier, the little ghost can do what?Break Sharen's Yangshou.

Even if those little ghosts are underground, they are enough to deal with ordinary people. If they are allowed to go on, the entire Xiaoyang Imperial City will become a dead city!

Nan Ci suddenly thought of something, blessed to the heart, and said: "With the Zhaoyin Mountain Range running through the north and south as the boundary, the east of the mountain is the purgatory of the sea of ​​living spirits, and the west of the mountain is the nothingness of the land of the dead. And Zhaoyin Temple , is Lu Chen’s Palace of the Underworld in the world!”

After finishing speaking, Nanci quickly urged Jingxie, turned around and walked towards Zhaoyin Temple.

No wonder, Lu Chen ordered so many little ghosts to go to the imperial city to be demons, no wonder he moved the sea of ​​flames from the purgatory to the East China Sea, no wonder, the monks in Zhaoyin Temple... all survived!

If Nan Ci's deduction is correct, then Lu Chen and the others should be near Zhaoyin Mountain now!
