Soul Eater

Recently, a post sparked heated discussions among netizens.

The person who posted the post said that he went hiking with his family on the weekend, but he got separated accidentally, and his phone ran out of battery, so he ran around in the mountains and forests, but when he looked up, he found a very inconspicuous cave in front of him, and there were faint voices coming from inside.

He walked into the cave following the human voice, and saw a magnificent gate in the cave, and the human voice came from behind the door.

He was about to open the door, only to find that there were many strange pictures engraved on the door. Looking carefully, the content of these pictures turned out to be continuous, and the carvings were exactly the eighteen levels of hell in folklore!

The poster vividly described what he saw and heard in the cave in his own words. At first, everyone thought he was making up a story, until later he shot a video on the spot with a small amount of electricity and uploaded it to the website. After a few minutes, the post immediately became popular.

Someone shivered and opened his mind: "The landlord couldn't have entered the ghost gate by mistake, right?"

"It's very possible! This place is so gloomy, and the door has hell engraved on it. Is there any need to talk about what is behind the door?"

"The landlord ran, curiosity killed the cat, think about it, even if it wasn't the gate of hell, there is a door with a weird painting style popping up in the wilderness, no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong! The real version of watching chess is bad? "

"You don't have to be so nervous... What if there is any adventure behind this door? Maybe it's the place where treasures were hidden during the war. Not long ago, a large number of Ming and Qing Dynasties were excavated from a cave in Beitai Mountain. Cultural relics from the period, I support the host, please be brave! Go up and see what’s inside.”

Netizens were discussing in full swing, and it took a long time before anyone noticed——

"Well, what about the host? The host hasn't spoken since posting the video, isn't he already in?"

***

Because of the video, everyone spent the night worrying about it. It was not until the next day that the post reappeared on the forum homepage.

Poster: "I'm sorry, my phone ran out of battery and turned off after shooting the video yesterday. Let me tell you that I did open that door."

Netizen A: "Damn it, so you just came back after walking around the gate of hell?!"

Seeing this sentence, the poster immediately tapped the keyboard to reply, and his excitement was reflected in the lines: "What the hell is closing, this is a new film and television city that opened on the mountain! Let me tell you, I opened the door in fear yesterday, Two men with blue faces and fangs in the door stared straight at me. At that moment, I really thought that was the case, and I almost cried out, but in the next second, a man who looked like a recorder walked over. Let me be quiet and don't disturb their extra work. Let me see, what a guy! A group of people formed a circle not far away, where are the seven or eight cameras turned on for filming! It is said that it is a fantasy film, no Knowing which crew it is, I think the set is quite conscientious, even the makeup on the face of the group actors who play the dead body is more realistic and scary than the last one."

Netizens: "..."

To be honest, this turning point was something they never expected.

Some netizens angrily reprimanded the host for making up stories to goof the heat, causing everyone to worry in vain, while others have developed a strong interest in this so-called "film and television city on the mountain".

Wei Xuan saw this post while surfing the Internet, and immediately showed it to Ruan Yang.

Ruan Yang was very satisfied with the results of this unexpected publicity, and he held his mobile phone and replied one by one to those who said he wanted to come to the film and television city.

"The address is in XX Mountain, Province X. The new store is open, and it is not open to individuals. If you have any cooperation intentions, please call 138xxxxxx. I look forward to your visit, dear~"

Seeing his enthusiasm so high, Xiao Siming gently patted his head from the sidelines.

Wei Xuan: "..." He originally wanted to show Ruan Yang how outrageous it is to rent out the underworld, but this little boss is so professional that he actually used his mobile phone to advertise in the post.

Xiao Siming was originally planning to go out to dinner and watch a movie with Ruan Yang, but was interrupted by Wei Xuan's arrival in the middle of the discussion. He raised his eyelids and looked at Wei Xuan coldly: "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Have."

Wei Xuan wiped his face, thinking what the hell is going on, anyway, the underworld is not his home, he is just an ordinary manager of the purchasing department, and then said: "Master Lou and the others are here."

"Why are they here today?" Ruan Yang was a little puzzled, turned to Wei Xuan and said, "Brother Wei, please go to the underworld first, tell them and tell them to get ready."

The matter is very important, Ruan Yang has already made arrangements in the underworld, when the time comes, he will take the priests to visit the underworld and finalize the contract.

Wei Xuan nodded, "Okay."

With Ruan Yang around, he could enter and leave the underworld freely. Although he hasn't caught up with the goddess yet, it's still very convenient for him to take a look.

***

Lou Daochang and others came here today, of course, to sign a cooperation agreement with the underworld.

Everyone had arrived at the door, so Ruan Yang had no choice but to put down the propaganda work at hand, and went downstairs with Mr. Xiao to receive the priests.

Ruan Yang looked around and found that almost all the priests at Wuxing Peak came that day. He asked, "Why are the Taoists here today? Didn't they say that they will sign the contract next Monday?"

Ever since they knew his identity, the priests could no longer regard him as an ordinary junior who could be called lovable at best. When they thought that the other party was the king of Hades, the master of the underworld, they could not help but He was extremely vigilant and in awe, for fear that Ruan Yang would be unhappy and cut off the cooperation between the two worlds.

But seeing that Ruan Yang was still warm and friendly to them, the priests secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Taoist Lou came forward and replied: "Things have changed, we can only come here earlier."

Hearing that things had changed, Xiao Siming immediately frowned, and sure enough, the next second, Lou Daochang sighed: "We have received news that there have been traces of the demon clan's right guardian in the human world." Last night, Pindao did a fortune-telling calculation, although it is temporarily impossible to determine where Protector You is, but judging from the hexagram, he is approaching our city H."

It's just that everyone doesn't understand what Protector You is doing in City H. Could it be related to the whereabouts of the Demon King?

They did divination all night, but failed to find any more clues. Even the whereabouts of the Demon King's last sealing formation was still a mystery, so they could only notify the relevant departments to send more manpower to strengthen the guarding of the other two sealing formations.

These two sealing formations have been strengthened by them and Xiao Siming, theoretically there will be no major problems, but since the right guardian has already taken action, they can't take it lightly.

As a first-tier city, City H has a well-ordered city and a prosperous population. Things like seeing monsters while walking on the street will make social news, and it will inevitably cause social turmoil.

"In short," Daoist Duan stood up and looked at Ruan Yang solemnly, "Time is running out. Last night, the patriarch also sent instructions to Pindao. There is no delay in the cooperation of the three realms."

Ruan Yang nodded to express his understanding, and was about to speak when Xiao Siming grabbed him, looked at the Taoist priests, and said in a business-like tone: "Wait, did you bring anything?"

Daozhang Duan paused, and hurriedly said "I brought it with me", and then took out a rectangular brocade box from the sleeve robe.

Only then did Xiao Siming relax a little, took the box and opened it, and the key lying inside consciously flew into Ruan Yang's body.

Xiao Siming watched Ruan Yang's expression closely, without blinking his eyes: "How do you feel? Are you uncomfortable?"

Ruan Yang felt it for a while, shook his head honestly and said: "No, it seems that nothing has changed."

"That's good." Xiao Siming reached out his hand to touch his forehead, and then said in a deep voice: "The feeling has not changed because you are short of the last key, don't worry, the last key will be found soon .”

He lowered his eyelids, thinking about the actions of the Yaozu. He was afraid that it would not be long before the birth of the Yaozu. Since the key is not in the Three Realms, it is very likely that the Yaozu has it.

Even if he wants to wipe out the entire Yaozu, he must get the key back.

The priests didn't know the specific function of the key. Considering Ruan Yang's identity, they didn't want to ask too many questions. Seeing that he and Xiao Siming were talking about the sky as if no one was watching, they called out: "Fellow Daoist Ruan..."

Ruan Yang turned his head and saw a group of priests looking at him eagerly, and felt a little sorry: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long."

Daoist Duan didn't dare to ask Pluto to apologize to him, he quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, Daoist Ruan, do you think it's time for us to discuss cooperation?"

Ruan Yang glanced at the wall clock on the wall, seeing that the time was almost up, he waved his hand: "Then let's go!"

All the priests looked confused, and Taoist Lou opened his mouth: "Where are you going?"

Ruan Yang felt that his question was a bit strange: "Of course it's going to the underworld to sign a contract. Brother Wei and the others should be ready!"

The priests nodded in a daze: "Oh, the underworld... what!!?! The underworld???!"

***

Caught off guard and being notified to go to the underworld, the priests were very frightened.

Along the way, they were guessing what the underworld would look like - such a world belonging to the dead should be eerie, dark and dark, right?

What's more, there are [-] levels of hell in the underworld, such as tongue pulling, steamer, mountain of knives, and frying pan. These frightening punishments are beyond imagination!

The priests have also seen the big world, but when they heard that they were going to visit the underworld, their faces were all pale, and their legs and feet were a little weak.

Seeing that they were afraid of being like this, Ruan Yang sympathized with them in his heart. He was also frightened and fainted at the beginning, so he comforted everyone: "Don't worry, Taoists, the underworld is safe now."

Daoist Lou wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, smiled dryly and said politely: "You made Daoist Ruan laugh."

How could they not be worried?The underworld has never had a precedent of cooperation and friendship with the other two worlds before. They have always been sloppy and cold people. They are just ordinary monks in the human world. They have a natural awe of the underworld. It’s okay to talk to Ruan Yang outside. When they thought of entering the base camp of the underworld, they couldn't imagine what would happen if the negotiation failed for a while.

The priests were so worried, so worried, this feeling of anxiety lasted until Ruan Yang led everyone to the entrance of a cave.

Lou Daochang was a little surprised: "Ruan Daoyou, this is..."

Xiao Siming led Ruan Yang, raised his chin towards the entrance of the cave, and signaled them to go in: "This is the entrance to the underworld."

"..." The priests looked at the inconspicuous little cave covered with moss, then turned their heads to look at Ruan Yang and Xiao Siming, and after making sure that the other party was not fooling themselves, "...that's fine."

The cave is just a cave, maybe there is some magic circle hidden in the cave that can be teleported?

With such thoughts in mind, everyone bent their waists and stepped into the small cave in a delicate mood.

Then I saw a door of unknown material, as if it had been randomly discarded here.

The priests: "..."

Ruan Yang didn't notice the silence of the Taoists, but whispered to Mr. Xiao next to him after he walked in: "The location of the gate of hell is really too remote, how about asking Hei Wuchang to move the gate near their home?"

He made a good plan. If the underworld really wants to set aside a part to open a film and television city, the entrance must be troublesome and unreasonable in the deep mountains. Moreover, he has not recovered his spiritual power yet, and he has to go through the gate of hell to enter and exit the underworld. It is really inconvenient to run back and forth, so it is better to move the position of the door, anyway, their place is a villa area, and there are many small hills nearby.

Xiao Siming rubbed his head, his eyes were full of connivance: "It's up to you to decide."

The whispered conversation between the two surprised the priests: "The gate of hell?!"

Duan Daochang walked up to the gate, took out an eye-opening talisman from his pocket, and stuck it on his forehead. As expected, he could clearly see the finely carved patterns on the gate in the next second.

Eighteen levels of hell, six realms of reincarnation, Naihe bridge...that's right, this is the legendary gate of hell, and its other name is——

Daoist Duan took a deep breath, and slowly uttered three words: "The gate of hell."

People always use "go to the gate of hell" to refer to the experience of narrow escapes. The gate of ghosts separates yin and yang. Behind this gate is the real underworld.

The gate of hell stood there quietly, exuding a ghastly atmosphere. The priests sweated secretly, and the mood that had just calmed down not long ago became uneasy again.

The world behind the door is strange and dangerous to them, but since they represent the two worlds of heaven and man to discuss cooperation with the underworld, there is no reason to shrink back at the door.

Is that all they are burdened with?No, but also for the common people in the world, for the survival of all mankind!

Taoist Duan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, exchanged the same firm look with fellow Taoists behind him, turned his head and raised his hand decisively.

The gate of hell opened slowly in front of everyone, and a cold breath rushed in. This coldness seemed to penetrate directly into the bones. The priests shuddered, but they did not hesitate as before, but carried the burden of all human beings on their backs. Faith, to take this step bravely and resolutely——

Then came the lengthy: "..."

Under the dark red sky of the underworld, there is a kind of excitement that is incompatible with the underworld.

Not far away, a group of staff were running around enthusiastically carrying machinery and equipment. Among them was a handsome young man dressed in ancient costumes. The camera was shooting, and there was a row of monitors not far away.

From behind the monitor came a male voice full of air: "Ca! Wenqun, what's the matter with you? Are you out of shape because you haven't had a good rest? Look, the zombies next to you are better than you!"

The male lead who was criticized as being out of state is also very innocent. He was notified to change the shooting location as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. Although he was willing to change the location after that incident happened, but I don’t know if it was because of the previous ghost encounter. It left a shadow, and he always felt that something was wrong. After coming to this place, his body seemed to be chilly all the time. Even the extras who acted with him made him feel terrified... The makeup of the crew must be too good, these extras The wounds on the face seemed to be real.

On the other hand, the "zombie" who was indirectly praised by the director smirked at the camera and was very happy. He thought that no one would want him to look like a jumping ghost, but he was actually selected to shoot with the male lead. The rivalry scene, although it’s just a fight, its role is to jump at the male lead and be sent flying by the male lead, but compared with other group actors who don’t have a single line, it’s completely different in nature !

Because he was too complacent, the dangerous eyeballs of the ghost who jumped from the building almost popped out of his sockets if he was not careful. Fortunately, it turned around quickly and stuffed the eyeballs back, so no one else noticed the abnormality.

The jumping ghost was relieved. At this moment, an ambition was condensed in its heart, and it silently clenched its fists: one day, it must become the most popular actor in the underworld!

Not far away, the Taoist priests who witnessed the jumping ghost stuffing his eyes back into their sockets: "..."
