Hell Is the Mind

Chapter 439: The Heart is Hell

This rain of corpses lasted for half an hour. I don’t know how many corpses fell. It was really shocking!

When the rain of corpses stopped, the Gray Fairy hurriedly took the deaf man back underground, only to see that the dozen stone statues were standing motionless around the altar, and the teleporting light had gone out.

They looked towards the palace and saw a royal blue dragon coiled on the roof of the palace, with its head raised high and its long whiskers fluttering slightly. Qin Mu stood on the dragon's head and was looking at the altar in the palm of the statue.

The two men hurriedly crossed the long floating bridge to the front of the palace and climbed to the top of the palace. The deaf man looked down and was slightly startled.

Below, the stone statues surrounding the altar were motionless at the moment, but they all raised their heads, and their stone eyes were looking over here.

"Mu'er, what happened?" the deaf man asked nervously.

“They’re looking at me.”

Qin Mu asked softly, "Did they realize that I was the one who killed their people?"

The deaf man shook his head: "In their minds, these demon armies were meant to be sacrificed. Even if they didn't die in your hands, they would still be sacrificed in blood. You don't have to bear a grudge. On the contrary, you prevented them from awakening this statue, which is a great thing. It saved the lives of countless people in Yankang."

Qin Mu looked at him straight in the eyes: "Grandpa Deaf, I have never killed so many people. Maybe many people died because of me, but I am still a little scared to kill so many lives with my own hands. When these demon army were teleported here, some of them were already dead, and some were not dead yet, but they died when they rushed into the Chengtian Gate. I counted and there were more than 100,000 people. I have never killed so many people with my own hands... Just now in the Chengtian Gate, I also saw many paper boats floating in the darkness. The ghosts were sitting on the boats, pulling the souls of these people. I was the one who killed them..."

The deaf man was stunned, not knowing how to comfort him. After a while, he said, "When I was the crown prince of Tiantu, Tiantu was destroyed. I woke up from seclusion and walked alone in the palace. The streets were full of corpses. Because the resistance was too fierce, the attacking Ronglang suffered heavy casualties. In order to vent his anger, the leader of Ronglang ordered a massacre of the city."

He was in a daze, and seemed to have not yet come out of the shadows. He was silent for a moment, and then continued: "I saw the heads of my father and mother hung on the palace gate, and the heads and corpses of the concubines and maids. A soldier took off my father's head, picked it up with a gun, and ran around to show off. I ran to the street and saw the soldiers of the Ronglang Kingdom looting everywhere, beheading, raping and looting at will. I came to my prince's mansion, my wife and children were dead, and my daughter was trampled to death by a war horse..."

He opened his eyes wide, as if he still couldn't get out of that shadow. Deep in his eyes, he still seemed to be filled with the scene of the destruction of the Tiantu Kingdom, which was a hell on earth.

"I was obsessed with calligraphy and painting, and had no interest in state affairs, but this led to the destruction of my country and my family. I tore off my ears, and I was deaf to the world's affairs. What use was this ear?"

"I used the corpses of the people as my paintbrush and the blood all over the streets to paint. I turned that place into hell. Hehe, the army of Ronglang Country was dragged into hell. I buried millions of soldiers... But what's the use? My hometown and country will never come back, and the dead will not be reborn. So I hid in the ruins."

The deaf man looked up at Qin Mu, raised a finger and touched his heart, saying: "Mu'er, harden your heart. Don't be like me. I waited until my country was destroyed and my family was ruined before I hardened my heart. By then it was too late. This is a war. There is no right or wrong. On the battlefield, your heart is hell, it is Youdu!"

Qin Mu's mind suddenly became clear, and he bowed and said, "I will teach you."

The deaf man smiled and said, "This sin will be settled by Tubo after death. Our mission is to send more enemies to see Tubo first!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly: "Send them to see Tu Bo!"

Gray Fairy looked at the stone statues below and said, "What happened to these stone statues?"

"I don't know. It just stopped moving all of a sudden."

Qin Mu was also somewhat puzzled, and said, "These stone statues are very powerful, because their bodies are fossilized and very hard. If they failed in the sacrifice this time, they will probably do something else and will not give up easily."

Suddenly, the stone statues around the altar leaped up one by one and jumped into the abyss below. Qin Mu looked hurriedly, only to see these stone statues drill into the ground and soon disappeared.

"this……"

The three of them looked at each other. Qin Mu looked at the knife on the forehead of the statue. The knife was extremely bright, as if it was chopping the statue's forehead with a knife, almost splitting the statue in half.

The surface of the magic sword is extremely smooth, without any visible texture. It is brighter and more transparent than the brightest mirror in the world. The souls of Granny Si, Master Yankang, the Mute, the Butcher and others are like flat surfaces, fighting with the gods in the mirror. They cannot see the outside scene.

Suddenly, gray fog came from nowhere and filled the underground space. The three people stood in the gray fog, but saw that the fog was getting heavier and heavier. Thousands of mountains and rivers came in the fog and submerged them.

Not only them, but even the statue that emerged from the ground and the shining long sword were hidden in the mist, and only the chains were vaguely visible.

After a while, the fog stopped flowing, and they saw a mountain of bones appearing around them in the sea of ​​fog. The mountain of bones was so majestic that the underground space under the fog seemed to be filled with bones.

Countless white bones were crawling on the mountains, which was very eerie and terrifying.

"The world of the dead!"

Qin Mu's heart was shocked, and he looked into the depths of the sea of ​​fog. There was a pier at the deepest part of the sea of ​​fog, which was the only way to enter the world of the dead!

The world of the dead and Fengdu came to the underground of the Shenduan Mountains, overlapping with this strange underground space!

"Who has Fengdu gold coins?" Qin Mu asked hurriedly.

The Gray Fairy and the Deaf Man had never seen this scene before, and they shook their heads. The Dragon King God was a god from heaven, so naturally it was impossible for him to own Fengdu gold coins.

At this time, a tattered boat came from the foggy sea. Qin Mu raised his hand and waved it, saying loudly, "Boatman, can you give me a ride?"

The oars creaked as the boat came from between the sea of ​​fog and the Skeleton Mountains. Qin Mu was very excited, while the Gray Fairy and the Deaf Man were as if they were facing a great enemy, and they looked at the approaching broken ship nervously.

After a while, the boat arrived in front of the palace, floating in front of the huge head of the Jiao King God, looking very small. The boatman on the boat was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head, which covered his face.

The Jiao King God lowered his head. Qin Mu was about to jump into the boat when a bony hand stretched out from under the straw raincoat and a sinister voice came from under the bamboo hat: "My friend, do you have money?"

Qin Mu shook his head.

"Treasure ships do not carry passengers without money."

The boatman said, "It's a small business with little profit. When you have money, it won't be too late to enter Fengdu."

Qin Mu was disappointed, and suddenly he saw the bony hand. He saw that the hand had only four fingers, and one of the fingers was broken, which seemed to be a sword wound.

His body shook violently, but at this moment the boatman rowed away and disappeared into the depths of the sea of ​​fog.

"When did Fengdu change the boatman?" Qin Mu asked loudly.

A sinister voice came from the foggy sea, but strangely, it was filled with joy: "The day I died, they changed the boatman!"

Qin Mu asked loudly: "Have you ever seen the Heavenly Demon Patriarch?"

"Haha, when you have money, you can come in and see for yourself and you will know..."

Qin Mu was stunned, and Huixian was in doubt. He quickly asked, "Emperor Qin, do you recognize that ghost messenger?"

Qin Mu nodded: "He seems to be an old friend. That old friend also has only nine fingers. The finger he lost was cut off by the village chief."

"You mean, he is Ling Jing?"

Gray Fairy suddenly came to his senses, and was surprised and delighted. He quickly shouted, "Senior Brother Ling Jing, do you still remember me?"

There is no echo in the sea of ​​fog.

The Gray Fairy called out several times but received no response, and felt lost.

Suddenly, the mist surged again, retreated to the west, and soon disappeared without a trace. Qin Mu looked up and saw that the divine sword was still on the forehead of the statue, still extremely bright, but Granny Si and others were no longer in the sword.

"Grandma Si and the others were kidnapped by Fengdu?"

Qin Mu was startled and rushed out of the ground with the Gray Fairy and the Deaf Man. Suddenly, the light in front of them was bright and dazzling. The sun was rising, and the first ray of sunlight shone on their faces. Behind them, the darkness of the ruins quickly receded.

"That's where the bodies of more than 100,000 demon army fell."

The deaf man pointed to a place in the ruins and said to Qin Mu, "You teleported about a hundred miles."

Qin Mu opened his Fire Sky Eye and looked over there, only to see a mountain of bones. Only bones were left of the more than 100,000 demon army, with no flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood of those demons have been devoured by the monsters in the darkness of Daxu.

The White Bone Mountain was also illuminated by the sunlight, looking very strange.

Qin Mu turned around and walked towards the direction of the Sun Boat. His voice came: "My heart is hell, no matter how sinful he is!"

The deaf man smiled and followed him over there. Near the Sun Boat, the stars in the sky transformed from the Daluo Tianxing were rapidly dimming. The woman who set up the Daluo Tianxing force field opened her eyes and fell from mid-air.

Qin Mu quickly quickened his pace and ran forward, intending to catch the woman.

Another person fell from the sky, gasping for breath and shouting, "Aba, Aba..."

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, raised his arms to the left and then to the right, but at this moment the blind man fell headfirst. Qin Mu hurriedly ran towards the blind man.

"Mu'er, do you want to watch me and Master Ma fall to death?" came the butcher's voice.

Qin Mu looked and saw that the Butcher and Ma Ye also fell from the air. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he really didn't know who to catch.

As for Imperial Master Yankang and King Yi who fell down together, Qin Mu had no intention of catching them.

Hu Ling'er rushed out of the sun boat and shouted loudly: "Maha——"

"Maha! Maha! Maha!"

A group of dragons ran out from her side like the wind and caught the people falling from the air on their backs.

Qin Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Boom!

In the distance, State Master Yankang fell to the ground. Qin Mu was startled and looked hurriedly at the dragon that picked up State Master Yankang. He was stunned to see that the dragon was carrying Zhending and shouting "Maha Maha", and ran back to the Sun Boat happily with the other dragons, completely unaware that he had picked up the wrong one.

Congratulations to Chuan Chuang for having a little princess as his second child. Congratulations to Zhai Zhu!
