A Monument to Life and Death
Chapter 496: A Monument of Life and Death
Qin Mu, the box, the dragon unicorn, and the flying skulls and skeletons fell down. Qin Mu was desperate. He wanted to not make any sound so as to avoid Xing An's abnormal hearing ability. However, man proposes, God disposes. Now his plan was completely ruined!
Bang, bang, bang, they fell into a pile of bones.
All around were a group of skeletons shouting and arguing, arguing about whether you broke my pelvis or I broke his femur, and some were fighting over ribs, making a very noisy sound.
Suddenly some skeletons started fighting. They got some bone sticks from somewhere and started beating around, smashing skulls loudly.
Unless Xing'an is deaf, there is no way he can hide it from his ears!
Qin Mu stood up shakily and looked around blankly. The extremely thick fog just now became much thinner here, and there was more light in the space.
He looked towards the east and was stunned.
In the mist of Yongjiang River, a vast world of bones was moving rapidly, appearing in the middle of Daxu and overlapping with the world of Daxu!
"You stepped on me..." said a weak voice under the box.
The box jumped up in fright, but when it saw that it was a pile of bones that were talking, it couldn't help but become happy. It opened the box joyfully and "swallowed" the talking bones into the box.
After being summoned by Qin Mu, it became very fond of collecting these strange things.
“Ghost——”
All of Long Qilin's hair and scales exploded and his body became stiff. When he saw the mountains and plains full of dead bones, the fat man flipped over, turned his four legs upside down, and stood straight.
When the box saw that he was dead, it wanted to swallow him. It swallowed him from the tail first. When it swallowed the buttocks, Long Qilin kicked his legs and whispered angrily: "Stop it, I'm pretending to be dead..."
"Fengdu, this is the outside world of Fengdu..."
Qin Mu saw a rapidly moving world. When this world overlapped with reality, the mountains and rivers in reality seemed to have disappeared from the world, which was extremely strange.
He was moved in his heart, kicked Long Qilin, and said, "Long Fat, you are not as good as Ling'er in pretending to be dead. If you don't get up, these skeletons will come to eat your meat."
"Meat, meat!" Under Long Qilin, a skeleton smelled the meat and couldn't help but smile. It opened its mouth wide, grabbed Long Qilin's leg and started biting it.
"Meat! Meat!"
In the sea of skeletons, countless dry bones became excited and ran towards this side with great enthusiasm. The running skeletons raised a skeleton wave that was hundreds of feet high and rushed towards this side.
Crash.
A wave of skeletons fell down, and then countless skeletons rolled together, turning into a madly running white bone giant, excitedly coming to eat meat.
"I have no meat, give me your meat!"
"Leave me a piece of skin, my skin is rotten!"
Long Qilin quickly turned over and crushed the skeletons that pounced on him to pieces. Seeing this scene, he was almost frightened to death.
Qin Mu was surrounded by Buddha's light, and the shadow of a white jade Buddha appeared behind him. The giant skeleton that was rushing towards him collapsed suddenly, and the skeletons fled in all directions.
"It's not tasty. It's the same bald boy from last time! Run away--"
Qin Mu was speechless. He took out a gold coin and shone it towards the foggy ocean. A lone boat was coming out of the fog.
"Get out of here!"
Xing'an's voice came from a distance. He had retracted his eyes and followed the voice into this place, approaching this side rapidly, shattering countless skeletons that pounced on him and sending them flying.
In his rage, he leveled a mountain of skulls with one blow, smashing countless dry bones, and rushed towards Qin Mu with overwhelming power and arrogance.
Qin Mu frustrated him time and again, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably angry in his heart. He wanted to get rid of this guy who had played tricks on him time and time again!
Qin Mu hurriedly activated his teleportation ability, picked up the box that was collecting the skeleton monsters and the trembling dragon unicorn, and teleported them towards the lone boat that was vaguely visible in the fog!
"You want to use the same move a second time? Get down here!"
One of the Star Bear's eyes flew over and shone in the sky. Qin Mu's teleportation rune was instantly shattered, and it appeared from the air together with the box and the dragon unicorn, and fell into the sea of fog below.
In the sea of fog, monsters were surging and extremely excited. At this moment, the lone boat suddenly appeared where Qin Mu and his companions fell and caught them.
"Brother Xing'an, how are you?" The boatman lifted up his hat, revealing his fleshless skeleton, and smiled sinisterly.
Xing An chased him to the shore, was slightly startled, stopped, and did not recognize him. He asked suspiciously: "Who are you?"
"Brother Xing'an, don't you recognize Taoist Ling Jing? You chased me everywhere to take my divine blood, but now you have completely forgotten it. It's so sad."
The boatman paddled the bamboo pole and rowed the boat away, saying with a smile: "This is the territory of Fengdu. Senior Brother Xing'an is a living person. Please go back. This is not a place you can set foot in."
Xing'an retracted his eyes and stepped into the sea of fog. The clouds and fog below suddenly swirled, and monsters were stirring up trouble, ready to make a move.
The monster in the fog was extremely powerful, but he was not afraid at all. He continued to chase the lonely boat and said calmly: "Since living people cannot set foot here, why can they board the boat? Fellow Daoist Ling Jing, you and I are acquainted with each other. It's not good to lie to me like this, right?"
His speed was extremely fast, and even in this extremely strange sea of fog, he was still strolling leisurely in the garden. The lone boat could not leave him behind at all, and the distance between them was gradually shortening.
"Have you any money?"
Taoist Ling Jing said leisurely: "Money makes the boat move. He has money to pay for the boat fare, so he can naturally board my boat and enter Fengdu. You have no money, so you can only starve. Go back, Fengdu is really not a place you can come to. There are too many people here that you cannot afford to offend."
Xing'an snorted coldly and continued to move forward. Suddenly, a huge monster rose up from the sea of fog and dragged him into the sea of fog.
In the lonely boat, Long Qilin was startled and hurriedly lay on the side of the boat to look out. Taoist Ling Jing raised the bamboo pole and gently pushed his head back into the boat, saying with a smile: "Stupid thing, there are some scary things down there that don't make sense, be careful that they will bite your head off."
Before he could finish his words, the sea of fog suddenly shook violently. The roar of monsters came from the sea, and then the mountains in the fog also shook violently. The mountains were made up of piles of bones, which immediately turned into giants and scattered.
Long Qilin hurriedly lay down in the cabin, covered his eyes with his two paws, and peeked secretly through the gaps between his paws.
The battle in the foggy sea became increasingly fierce, causing huge waves that lifted their ship high up and caused it to fall from the top of the waves.
Qin Mu activated his Jingxiao Sky Eye and could only barely see more than one huge monster fighting with Xing'an in the sea of fog. He was shocked and exhaled a breath of foul air, praising: "Xing'an is really amazing!"
Taoist Ling Jing, who had turned into a skeleton, shook the bamboo pole and smiled grimly, "Of course he is great. However, he can't do anything here. The fog sea is formed by the resentment of the victims at the end of the Kaihuang era. After these people died, they could not enter Fengdu and could not live well, so their resentment condensed and turned into monsters in the sea to block anyone who dared to enter Fengdu. At the end of the Kaihuang era, too many people died in Daxu, and the strength of these monsters is comparable to that of gods and demons."
Qin Mu was slightly startled. "Are these skeletons the people who died in the natural disaster during the Kaihuang period? Why can't they enter Fengdu?"
"Fengdu only accepts useful souls."
In the skull of Taoist Ling Jing, two flames emitted dim light: "They are useless. They have not met the requirements to enter Fengdu. To enter Fengdu, one must have the strength of gods and demons. Even I can only barely meet the requirements of Fengdu. They can only gather on the outskirts of Fengdu and cannot cross this sea of fog..."
Qin Mu had a strange look on his face. It was the resentment of these skeletons that formed the sea of fog, and their resentment formed the monsters. In the end, they were blocked here by their own resentment!
Cause and effect will always come in a cycle.
"The King of Hell actually wants to extradite them, but Fengdu is too small. Moreover, Fengdu also has to be wary of Youdu..."
Taoist Ling Jing obviously knows many secrets, but he is unwilling to say more. He is now a dead person and can only stay in Fengdu, in a strange state of being neither alive nor dead.
Qin Mu couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.
If he is dead, he will be reborn into a physical body when he enters the world of the dead. If he is alive, he will immediately die and cease to exist when he leaves Fengdu.
The movement under the sea of fog became more and more intense. It was obvious that the fight between Xing An and the monsters in the sea of fog was becoming more and more fierce, which was frightening to watch.
It has to be said that Xing'an is extremely powerful. Even when facing monsters born of resentment, he can still fight against them!
"This pervert..."
Taoist Ling Jing glanced into the sea of fog and saw that Xing'an and the monsters in the sea had already reached the sea. Those monsters were towering into the clouds, even larger than the surrounding Skull Mountain and Skull Island. Their attack power was terrifying, but Xing'an was even more terrifying.
"Emperor Qin, please come ashore quickly."
Ling Jing had a keen eye and said, "He will be out of trouble soon. Also, you lent me four Fengdu coins last time, plus the boat fare this time, a total of five."
Qin Mu took out five Fengdu gold coins. Taoist Ling Jing took the coins, stretched his back and smiled, "They all have connections with the higher-ups, so they can enjoy Fengdu right after they come in. But I still have to make money, and I can enter Fengdu when I have enough money. If you want to have a place in Fengdu, you have to spend a lot of money..."
He rowed the boat away and disappeared in the sea of fog. A voice came from the fog: "Fengdu is very interested in living people like you. If you help those dead people do something, they will give you Fengdu gold coins as a reward, so that you can travel to Fengdu frequently. This is what I did before..."
Qin Mu hurriedly took the dragon unicorn and the box and rushed to Fengdu.
Not long after, he finally arrived at the boundary marker of the world of the dead and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a loud bang came from behind him. Xing'an finally got rid of those monsters, rushed out of the sea of fog, and landed on the dock.
Qin Mu's face changed slightly, and he quickly rushed into the world of the dead, rushing forward frantically.
Long Qilin also ran wildly, and as he ran, he saw that the fan beside him disappeared, and only a skeleton was left running hard!
The skeleton was still wearing Qin Mu’s clothes and shoes!
Long Qilin was horrified and let out a shrill scream, but at this moment, he saw that he had also turned into a skeleton.
Long Qilin's limbs went limp and he fainted, this time he was really unconscious.
Qin Mu hurriedly stopped and was about to lift him up and run away, when suddenly, he saw Xing An also rushing into the realm of the dead.
Bang——
Suddenly, a head popped out from Xing'an's neck, and suddenly an arm popped out from under his armpit, and then four or five legs grew out!
Qin Mu was stunned, and Xing An was also stunned. Then, they heard a continuous sound of bangs. More bodies grew out of his body, and his head was surrounded by heads. Countless bodies were squeezing out of his body, making him have dozens of hands, dozens of legs, twenty or thirty heads, and bodies growing together!
Plop.
The Star Bear fell to the ground, its hands scratching around, its heads struggling and roaring, as if trying to crawl out of this hodgepodge of a body.
It was obvious that they did not have a unified consciousness, nor were they just one person, but rather a group of twenty or thirty people, all of whom wanted to climb out and leave!
"The dead are born in the world, the dead are born in the world..."
Qin Mu gave up the idea of escaping and murmured, "So, this is the way to restrain Xing An. Xing An's body was pieced together from the bodies of twenty or thirty near-god warriors. When he reaches the world of the dead, these missing parts will reappear..."
Suddenly, a big bird flew in from the darkness, landed on the hill in front, and looked at them curiously with its head tilted.
"Is the person coming here the Human Emperor Qin Mu?"
The big bird flapped its wings and transformed into a god with a bird's head and a human body. It folded its wings and spoke in human language: "Your crime has been exposed. The King of Hell has been looking for you for a long time!"
Qin Mu was surprised: "I committed a crime? How come I didn't know?"
