What's wrong with the doctor is so annoying

What kind of place is the underworld for the living?

Countless literary works try to describe the burial place of all things in the world, but no one can prove the authenticity of these descriptions, because the boundary between life and death is insurmountable.

I opened my eyes, and the first thing I saw was the dark red sky. The deep and shallow longitudinal veins flickered, like pouring countless barrels of blood into the river, and it was flowing slowly.Sit up with your arms on the ground and look around, including the area under your buttocks, it is a flat terrain with gentle ups and downs. There is no grass and it is so desolate. I reached out and dunked the ground. The dark purple soil seems to be a bit sticky, and it will change after rubbing hard. Sparsely granulated and slipped from the fingers, making the hands sticky.

Odysseus' voice suddenly came from behind: "The soil of the underworld is made up of ashes of dead souls and tar from blood. Although there is no harm, it is better not to hold it in your hands. Some desecrate the dead."

I was suddenly nauseated, and quickly flung away the remaining granular objects in my hand, turned over and stood up: "We have landed smoothly? Do you know which area of ​​the underworld this is probably?"

Odysseus shook his head: "I don't know, the space-time distortion phenomenon on the ruins of Atlantis is very serious, I can only guarantee that I can take a shortcut and directly enter the underworld from there, but I can't control where it will land— —But this is our mission, to take advantage of the emptiness behind the underworld to find out the regional distribution of the underworld, and provide reliable information for the large forces behind to attack."

I patted the dust off my body, and set up an awning with my hands to look into the distance: "Athena's arrangement is really powerful... But how could she know in advance that Pluto would personally go to the sanctuary to smash things?"

"She didn't know, but she made a decision immediately when this situation was born. The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and it is the basic quality of the goddess of war to respond immediately." Odysseus tapped lightly with the snake staff On the ground, the golden feathered snake with a ruby ​​in its mouth wrapped around the cane suddenly moved, jumped down from Odysseus's hand, and expanded rapidly like a blown balloon. The six-winged golden python obediently lowered its head in front of us.

Odysseus reached out his hand and touched the gleaming scales on the python's forehead, jumped onto its back with ease, and motioned to me: "Come on, it's much easier to fly to scout than to drive eleven roads, with me Now, there is no need to burden you, and there is no need to worry about life-threatening."

Ouch, this treatment is much better than I thought!I happily climbed onto the back of the giant python. After I sat down, the surrounding scales slowly rose to protect the surroundings, protecting me from slipping off my back while flying, and then the six amazing golden wings slowly Open it slowly, and shake it vigorously, I immediately felt a gust of wind blowing past, the huge snake body soared into the sky, and soon climbed to an astonishing height, looking around, the dark purple plain seemed to be endless endless.

During the flight, I tried my best to recall the descriptions about the terrain distribution of the underworld in comics and animations. From the beginning to the end, it can be roughly divided into three parts:

After the undead come to the underworld, they must first pass through the gate engraved with "Those who want to pass through this gate must first give up all hope" and gather on the bank of the Agron River, waiting for the only boatman, Charon, to carry them across the river. You have to walk through a vast area called the Plain of Truth, go to the court to accept the verdict, and then be thrown into different hells according to the depth of the crime.

The Hell area is roughly divided into eight prisons, each with different functions, and there are "valleys" and "trenches" corresponding to more detailed crimes below, and then there are the residences of the gods and judges of the underworld, which are called "rings". , from outside to inside are the ring of Cain where Radamandis lived, the ring of Antenor where Aiagos lived, the ring of Dollyme where Minos lived, and the ring of Judas where Hades and Queen lived.

Passing through the superdimensional space behind the Wall of Sighs, you can reach the legendary Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Only the souls of the dead who are pure in heart and have not committed any crimes are allowed to stay here, enjoying eternal youthful beauty and endless joy; On the other hand, villains who committed heinous and unforgivable crimes would be thrown into Tartarus, where they would never stand up again.However, the Prison of God, which is very important in mythology, has not been mentioned in the entire Saint Warrior series. Whether it still exists and in which area it exists is an unsolved mystery.

…But just knowing a floor plan is useless, and it is not a GPS navigation map that modern people are used to. There is not even a corresponding coordinate. , just fly aimlessly like this, have to fly to the year of the monkey?

Odysseus seemed to see the anxiety in my heart, and comforted me: "Don't worry, why don't you take a closer look?"

I squinted my eyes for a long time in the direction he pointed to me, and finally managed to see many souls wriggling forward like ants. Their bodies were all translucent, almost in harmony with the vast plain background. Blended into one, you can't see clearly unless you look carefully.

Near the vast queue of souls, one or two small soldiers in black armor can occasionally be seen, holding weapons such as sickles and whips, constantly yelling and driving the souls to a fixed direction.They are not real warriors of the underworld, but lower-ranking guards. They are not qualified to be possessed by magic stars. They do these repetitive tasks of guiding the undead in peacetime. Once a war breaks out, they will be driven to the battlefield as cannon fodder .

Odysseus was thoughtful: "It seems that this area is the Plain of Truth. We were lucky and crossed the Agron River directly, so that we can avoid entanglement with the boatman Charon."

I recalled the guy in the original book who was in charge of rowing the dead across the river. He seemed to be a ghost fighter too. He was very greedy for money. He actually asked Seiya and Shun for tolls. It would be a bit troublesome if he encountered it. Although I can kill him with my strength. Problem, but the surface of the Agron River is so wide that even feathers cannot float in the water, and even the sky above the river has a special barrier effect, which guarantees that even a bird cannot pass through it, and the only way to tell the direction is in this place. Charon, the ferryman of souls who travels across the river.

Thinking of this, I replied subconsciously: "If according to the myths and legends, Charon would not take the living across the river, we would definitely be exposed as soon as we got up."

Odysseus glanced at me, and suddenly said something surprising: "No, your body/body has already died in the process of entering the underworld. I can only bring your soul in."

Well? !I broke out in a cold sweat immediately, subconsciously pinched my thigh with my hand, it hurt so much! ! !

"No way?" I blurted out, "Does the soul still feel pain?"

"Of course, otherwise, what's the meaning of the many punishments in hell?" Odysseus said calmly, "There is no need to panic, you are still a living person, it is very simple to put it bluntly - the law of the underworld is that only the dead can Enter, and the rule of judgment is that the body/body dies, and only the soul remains. After I bring your soul into the underworld, I will directly reshape a new body for you, as long as you put it in before the soul loses self-awareness, Even if you are resurrected."

I was dumbfounded, this loophole is too powerful, so what's the point of a group of people in the original book trying their best to comprehend the eighth sense!Wouldn't it be enough to just pull the large troops over and resurrect in place? !

"I know what you're thinking, but that's unrealistic." Odysseus bent his index finger and tapped on my forehead lightly, "So many people are brazenly breaking into the underworld, will the guarding gods be indifferent? ?”

That's right, besides Hades, there are at least the twin gods in the underworld, not to mention a lot of gods in the underworld in mythology, if you do a little trick when you cross the boundary, you will really have no place to die.

Thinking of this, I can only regretfully dismiss this idea.

Odysseus drove the giant python to continue to fly in the direction of the undead. According to his vision, the final destination of all souls should be the trial court, which is the first prison. If you determine this base point, you can use it as the origin and move forward. After groping, it is better than circling in circles over this boundless wilderness, without even a reference point.

In order to avoid being discovered by the guards on the ground, the golden python flew as high as possible on the premise of ensuring that we can see the situation on the ground clearly, and the frequency of flapping its wings was controlled within the range of not making any noise, so it flew away After a cup of tea, a majestic palace made of white marble finally appeared on the horizon.

I silently calculated in my heart, this distance takes about half an hour to run at the average moving speed of the Golden Saint Seiya, the area of ​​the Plain of Truth is astonishingly large, and this is the premise of clearing the direction Next... Wait a minute, I seem to understand why Shaka and Athena finally awakened the eighth sense and entered the underworld alive in the original book, but they have been playing soy sauce in the follow-up plot. It turns out that they are really lost!

As the distance approaches, the whole picture of the trial court can be fully displayed in front of us. The building is very tall, but the structure is very simple. Groups of undead lined up under the whispers of the ghost guards, one by one. Walk through a brass gate that looks astonishingly heavy, and go to the inner court to accept the trial.

Odysseus said softly: "I've been here once before, and I still have some impressions. You don't need to stay longer, the focus is on the latter."

I acquiesced to his statement, the golden python cautiously passed over the court, and then we saw a very interesting scene - the front of the court is connected to the endless plain of truth, but there is only a very narrow road behind, Winding and circling in the endless darkness, from time to time, I could hear mournful howls coming from all directions, the giant python lowered its height a little, and immediately I could feel the extremely strong wind coming and tearing me skin.

This place is called Black Wind Valley, and the wind howls all the year round. I am particularly impressed, mainly because of Garen, who secretly gave the judge of the first prison a Phantom Demon King Fist, making him mistakenly think that he broke the Pluto election. Ding's body/body was so frightened that Liushen Wuzhu rushed out sweating profusely, thinking that Shun's stump was torn into pieces by the strong wind in the Black Wind Valley, and after running for a long time, he finally found a head, which was captured by Radhaman Diss interrupted the action before realizing that what he was holding in his hand was actually his own helmet.

Then?Then this unlucky buddy pulled out Garen who was hiding nearby with a whip, and was immediately ordered by Garen even with the whip and someone acting like a second kicker, and exploded into a flower in front of Radamandis. Gorgeous fireworks~

According to the plot, Seiya and Shun will go straight to the second prison under the cover of Garon's honesty and integrity. The person in charge of guarding that place is Farao of the Celestial Beast and a hell three-headed dog. Now he The love-hate relationship with Olufi has been clouded because of the changes in the plot, and no one will compete with him for the qualification to play for Hades. I don’t know if the secret road that is said to lead directly to the Judas Ring is still there?It would be so much more convenient if you were there!

Odysseus suddenly patted my shoulder lightly and said in a low voice, "Someone is coming, be careful."

The surrounding temperature suddenly began to rise, and under the influence of the hot air, the gust of wind changed its direction and spread to both sides. Countless pitch-black flames rose from the void, suspended in the air without any attachment, burning vigorously, and soon spread into a One after another, the walls of fire and the mountains trapped us in the middle.

A figure gradually appeared, stepping on the leaping black flames and walking towards us unhurriedly, the extremely wrapped Mingyi armor was gradually revealed, with a pair of slender metal wings dragging behind, following his The movement, the collision sound between layers of feathers is clearly audible.

My heart tightened. As we all know, there is a very simple way to judge the status and strength of a Ming fighter, which is to look at the complexity of Ming Yi. Except for a very few special cases like Babylon, all those with wings are basically of the Tianzi generation. Ming fighters are generally stronger than those of the earth generation, and the Ming clothes of the three giants are so tightly wrapped, and the wings are so huge that they are cumbersome.

And this buddy in front of me is not inferior to the three giants in terms of luxury, and the appearance is so luxurious, but I don't have the slightest impression. Could it be some hidden masters?I know his grandma!How could I complete the reconnaissance mission so easily with my bad luck physique...

The visitor walked up to us, raised his head and snorted coldly: "The two of you wandered around too leisurely, do you really think that there is no one in the underworld?"

Wait a minute, why does this voice sound so familiar?

The other party turned his head and glanced at me, and I immediately saw a deep scar between the brows of that young man. I rubbed my eyes and looked at it carefully, and finally I couldn't help blurting out: "Ikki?! Why did you change jobs too? ? The salary in the underworld is higher than that in the sanctuary? Or is it guaranteed that the corpse can be buried in a feng shui treasure cave to shelter future generations? It can’t be because of Pandora’s marriage, right? Will you be called brother or brother-in-law from now on?”

Ikki: "..."

Odysseus whispered in my ear: "Stop talking, his face is about to cramp."

The author has something to say:

Odysseus: In fact, we are really just here to travel...
