Tianyin Realm, Happy Township

Chapter 682: Tianyin Realm, Happy Township

Qin Mu looked forward and saw only gray mountains and rivers. The land was also gray. Not far away there were some elusive black shadows. They must be monsters. They came and went like dark smoke, appearing and disappearing in a flash and were hard to predict.

A monster went around behind a dark gray tree and looked at him secretly.

Qin Mu heard the rustling sound again. When the monsters approached, the darkness flowed and made a rustling sound.

He walked forward. Although there were creatures like monsters here, it was desolate. Maybe it was because of the gray color. However, there were also trees, flowers and plants, as well as unknown monsters. If there were more colors, it might be a different picture.

Although those monsters were approaching him secretly, they were watching from a distance and did not come forward. It was difficult for Qin Mu to see the true appearance of the monsters because it was too dark here.

Suddenly, he had an idea and took out a piece of beef from his gluttonous bag.

Swoosh——

The beef in his hand suddenly disappeared, as if it was eaten by something. Qin Mu was shocked. He could only barely see a shadow pounce on the beef in his hand. He couldn't even see what it was!

"This strange creature is everywhere, and its speed is incredibly fast. What kind of creature is the monster in the Tianyin Realm?"

This also explains why one cannot easily set foot in the darkness of Daxu, because once one steps into the darkness, these ubiquitous monsters will pounce on one and devour one's flesh and blood.

There was a chewing sound coming from the distance. Qin Mu looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a monster hiding behind a rock and eating something.

He walked forward and the monster fled in panic, but he still couldn't see its appearance clearly.

The sky was dark and unclear. Qin Mu looked back to confirm the direction he came from, so as to avoid losing his way back. Then he continued to move forward.

There were many whispering sounds in the darkness. Some monsters gathered together, seeming to be discussing something. When they saw him approaching, they dispersed like a gust of black sand blown by a strong wind.

"Is the whole Tianyin Realm this dark and grey? Could there be something else? Does the darkness really come from here?"

Qin Mu searched for a while but didn't find any useful information. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out the Book of Life and Death and shone it on a monster.

The monster suddenly let out a shrill scream, black smoke gushed out of its body, and then the monster suddenly shrank and fell to the ground.

"This is……"

Qin Mu's face changed drastically and he hurried forward, only to see that the shriveled monster had turned into a piece of human skin!

Just like the god-like man he saw in front of the Tianyin boundary monument, only his skin was left!

Qin Mu was in doubt and muttered, "Are these monsters just skins? Could it be that there are no real monsters?"

His mind was in a state of confusion, not understanding why such an incredible situation had occurred. After thinking about it, he immediately walked away and watched from afar.

After a while, darkness was seen like quicksand, rustling into the skin. Soon the monster stood up again, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, coming and going without a trace.

Qin Mu calmed himself down, suddenly turned back the way he came, came to the boundary marker, bowed to the divine skin, and said, "Senior, I'm sorry to bother you."

He picked up the leather bag with both hands and walked into the Tianyin Realm again.

When he arrived at the Tianyin Realm, he suddenly ran away with the human skin in his hand and disappeared without a trace in an instant!

“It is indeed so!”

Qin Mu was shocked. These monsters were not real monsters, but just skins!

These skins do not have any flesh and blood and are filled with dark matter. They move at an incredibly fast speed. However, once they are illuminated by the Book of Life and Death, the dark matter will disappear and they will become empty skins again.

"Why do they eat flesh and blood?"

Qin Mu felt that he was a little closer to the truth, but it was still a long way to uncover the truth: "If I want to uncover the dark truth, I'm afraid the only way is to explore the secrets behind this Tianyin Realm."

He walked forward, and suddenly there was a rustling sound, and a monster approached him. Qin Mu was slightly startled, because the monster gave him a familiar feeling.

"It's the god who held the lantern during the Kaihuang period!"

The monster transformed by the god came to a distance in front of him and stopped. When Qin Mu approached him, the monster immediately fled forward, but stopped again before walking far and looked back.

"His speed is as fast as lightning, far faster than mine. The reason why he stops and starts is so that I can follow him!"

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately increased his speed and chased after the monster.

A man and a monster were galloping across this gloomy continent. Qin Mu had been running for an unknown period of time and was exhausted and out of breath. However, the monster was considerate. When he couldn't hold on any longer, the monster would slow down and occasionally stop. The man and the monster were only a hundred feet apart, and they were quietly waiting for Qin Mu to recover.

After walking for an unknown distance, Qin Mu suddenly saw other colors and his eyes lit up.

There were beautiful mountains and clear waters, singing birds and blooming flowers, the lake was blue, and the air seemed fresher.

There is also a town there, with buildings and pavilions, a long bridge lying on the waves, and a long road running through the sky. From afar, there are many human figures and it looks very lively. I never thought that such a place actually exists in the Tianyin Realm.

When the monster walked into the valley, the grayness on his body seemed to disappear all of a sudden, and he turned into a god with a radiant look.

Qin Mu hurried over, but did not step in immediately. Instead, he observed the surrounding area and when he saw no danger, he stepped into the valley.

The streets are filled with gods and immortals, laughing, scolding, and singing passionately. It is like a picture of a busy market.

"My friend, you have come from afar. Please forgive me for not welcoming you!"

An old god wearing a tall crown came from afar, laughing loudly, and greeted Qin Mu, saying with a smile: "We rarely have outsiders in this small place, I am afraid that I have neglected the distinguished guest. Please come in."

Although he looked old, he was full of energy, his face was rosy, and he didn't look old at all.

Qin Mu remained calm and smiled, "You are too polite, Elder. Elder, where is this place? I only saw that the Tianyin Realm was gray and gloomy, but this place was full of life and fragrance. There must be something strange here."

"This is the Happy Town in the Heavenly Yin Realm, the place where the gods live happily."

The old god said with a loud voice, "Our place is full of goddesses, many of them are pretty and charming. They can soothe the worries in your heart or relieve the fatigue of your body. Therefore, people linger here and are intoxicated. It is not an exaggeration to call it a happy place."

As he was talking, many goddesses came from nowhere, singing and dancing, colorful and charming, sweet, sour, hot, cold, all rushing over, laughing and saying: "Dear guests from afar, when you come to this happy village, you must be happy!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly, hugged her left and right, and said: "There is such a leisurely and elegant place in Tianyin Realm, so of course I want to have some fun. But I only have two hands, how can I hug her? Hahaha——"

The other goddesses also laughed. The old god said with a smile: "It is easy for you to hug me. Wouldn't it be better for you to stay here like us? After a long time, you will be able to hug me. Not only can you hug me, but you can also sleep with me."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "Same as you? Then won't I also become a corpse?"

"die of hunger?"

The old god's face changed drastically, and the faces of the goddesses surrounding Qin Mu also changed drastically, and their expressions became grim: "What corpse? What do you know?"

"Aren't starving ghosts just corpses?" Qin Mu said with a smile.

His two arms were immediately clamped by the goddess beside him, unable to move. The old god sneered: "You know? It's too late! We are so hungry--"

The other goddesses laughed shrilly: "We ate all the flesh on our bodies. We are so hungry——"

"So young guest, we have no choice but to eat you!"

"Take it away—"

Qin Mu was lifted up by the goddesses and taken to the center of the town. Many gods and men in the town flocked there, happily waiting for the meal to start.

When they arrived at the center of the town, Qin Mu was let down. The old god was sitting on the throne in front of a hall. Two beautiful goddesses held Qin Mu's arms. Below were tens of thousands of gods, looking hungry and thirsty.

The old god laughed and said, "We have been trapped here for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. We were so hungry that we had to eat ourselves. We ate even our bones and only our skins were left. Now we finally have a living creature. We can have some meat now."

Below, tens of thousands of gods and men were rejoicing and clamoring for food.

The old god smiled at Qin Mu and said, "Don't worry, my dear guest. After we eat you up, you will become us, but you will have to starve from now on."

Qin Mu laughed and said, "Is this your Happy Village? How can you treat guests like this? No wonder you can't make money."

"Hey, the distinguished guest is not panicking at all, but talking and laughing. Could it be that he has something to rely on?"

The old god laughed and said, "But in the Tianyin Realm, even if you have the protection of the God of Heaven, you can do nothing. The Tianyin Realm is not like the outside world. The God of Heaven cannot control this place, and Tu Bo cannot reach here! Here, you can only accept death!"

Qin Mu said: "Then what is the matter with the darkness in Tianyin Realm? Why is there darkness leaking out of Tianyin Realm? I am dying and very curious. Can you tell me something to satisfy my curiosity?"

The old god laughed and said, "Only Goddess Tianyin can answer this kind of question. But you will be able to see her soon, Goddess Tianyin, hehehe..."

"Since you ghosts are unwilling to answer..."

Four arms suddenly emerged from Qin Mu's armpits, holding the Book of Life and Death. They unfolded with a swish and shone in all directions. He said calmly, "Then I have no choice but to go see Lady Tianyin in person."

“Ahhh—”

Pitiful screams resounded through the sky. Countless gods and immortals covered their faces with their hands. Black smoke gushed out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses. The gods and immortals that seemed extremely powerful shrank rapidly and turned into pieces of human skin that fell to the ground!

The two goddesses who had captured Qin Mu's arms also shrank rapidly and turned into two skin bags.

Qin Mu turned around, looked at the old god on the throne, and walked towards him. The old god trembled, and hurriedly stood up from the throne, staring at the Book of Life and Death in his hand, his body trembling.

“The Book of Life and Death in the Underworld… This is the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld!”

He kept retreating, muttering: "You are using the magical power of the Chi Ming era. You have six hands..."

Qin Mu walked forward, sat on the throne, and smiled, "Not bad. You have quite a good eye. It seems that although you have become a ghost, you can still retain some of your memories from your life. So can you tell me now why the Tianyin Realm has become like this? Also, what happened to Tianyin Niangniang? Is there any connection between this Tianyin Realm and the Underworld?"

————Today I want to talk about three things worth celebrating. First of all, I wish Alliance Leader Fuyunye a happy birthday. May you have this day every year!

The second thing is that the Shepherd's Notes has 940,000 collections on Qidian.com, entering the 20th place on the overall list. The third thing is that Zhaizhu's novel Rebirth Journey to the West is one subscription away from becoming a boutique book. Except for Water Margin Immortal Journey, all the books are boutique books.
