It's like falling into a pool of water, the auditory field of vision is completely distorted.
Li Yan Before he could react, his body suddenly became light, and then the light and shadow became stable.
He was absolutely sure that this was Interlayer Space.
No matter "Shitilavana" or "Dragon Palace Water Mansion", the feeling here is exactly the same.
He calmed down and looked around Li Yan.
He found that he actually appeared in a Land God Temple.
The wall is half-collapsed, with wooden pillars and arches, and rammed earth as the wall. The style of the Tang Dynasty can be vaguely seen.
The wall was covered with moss and cracks, and in the cracks, yellowish and black putrefactive grease oozed.
This place makes people feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
Li Yan felt moved and turned to look behind him.
I saw a rectangular stone tablet lying on the ground, with "Local Earth God Liu... Yonghui Year of the Tang Dynasty..." engraved on it.
On the rotting altar table, the clay statue had been shattered, and a dark hole appeared against the wall.
Li Yan knew clearly that Land God Temple must be one of the exits.
That Grease-Stealing Rat Spirit ran outside from here and stole incense from the surrounding land.
He noted this place and walked cautiously outside the temple.
After leaving the temple gate, another scene appeared in front of us.
The sky and the earth were gloomy and gray, as if shrouded in a thick layer of fog, with snowflakes falling from the sky.
Li Yan raised his hand to take some, his eyes suddenly became serious.
What kind of "snow flakes" are these? They are clearly the ashes left by burning incense!
He couldn't help but think of the experiences of "Shitilavana" and "Dragon Palace Water Mansion".
This kind of place is the gap between the Great Luo Dharma Realm and the human world. It does not really exist, but is a spiritual space.
The scenes formed are also usually related to spiritual projection.
For example, "Shitilavana" represents countless tombs and pagodas.
When it comes to "Dragon Palace Water Mansion", it is simply an underwater cave.
This "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" is located in the capital city and has been inhabited since ancient times. There are still Tang Era Land God Temple left.
Perhaps, it has something to do with human sacrifices...
Thinking of this, Li Yan felt vigilant and continued to move forward.
Sure enough, the terrain here is somewhat similar to that of Beijing.
Although the thick fog covered the sky and the sky was full of incense and ash, he could still vaguely distinguish the terrain, which was very similar to that outside Jiumen, but the streets were very strange, with bluestone roads and rammed earth roads blending together, as if they were mixed together.
The architectural styles of surrounding residential buildings also show different styles.
The earthen walls, thatch, and limestone tiles seem to be buildings from different dynasties mixed together, and the roads are twisted and staggered.
But no matter which one, they are all dilapidated and like ruins.
There was no vegetation, no birds or animals, and no human beings. It seemed like we were in the end of the world.
Looking at this scene, Li Yan was thoughtful.
This weird layout further confirmed his guess.
He also saw Great Luo Dharma Realm through Bronze Nuo Mask and with the help of Erlang Zhenjun.
It is a magical place, where material and spiritual means exist.
In terms of past lives, it may be some kind of higher dimension.
Each time it can only be observed through dreams.
And this so-called Secret Realm cave is a gap in space.
Things in the human world will be projected into it in a spiritual way, but they are not so stable...
Of course, this is all just speculation.
Li Yan stopped thinking and started to explore around.
This place was very empty and there was no boundary in sight. He wanted to find the Grease-Stealing Rat Spirit just now, but when the other party entered this "Nine Gates Yin Ruins", he didn't know where it was hidden. He could only move forward based on his feeling.
Fortunately, although it is messy here, you can barely see the outline of the capital.
Not far ahead, Li Yan immediately stopped, looking shocked.
But above the ruins ahead, a tall city gate was suspended in the air, with the words Zhengyang Gate written on it.
The city gate is tightly closed, ancient and rustic, covered with rusty iron arrows and stained with stained blood.
The city gate suspended in the air seemed to be pushed by some force and moved slowly.
Such a strange sight really made Li Yan confused.
He had a suspicion in his mind that the area he entered was only the outer area.
The so-called "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" probably has to go through nine city gates to enter.
But the city gate is visible from both the front and the back, but nothing is there. Where is the entrance?
Rumble~
While he was thinking, the city gate suddenly roared violently and began to open slowly.
Good opportunity!
Li Yan With a thought in his mind, he floated like a kite and rushed directly into the city gate.
The moment he passed through the city gate, his eyes blurred, and another scene appeared.
All I saw ahead was a piece of scorched earth, with smoke rising from the ruins of the ruins, rivers of blood on the ground, and mutilated corpses everywhere.
Boom!
There was another roar, and the ground shook.
I saw billowing black mist billowing from the hills in the distance.
You can vaguely see that there are countless horse hooves flying inside, and the shouts of killing are roaring like a tide.
Among the ruins, the sound of the harp suddenly came, accompanied by the low hum of the desolate grassland.
And in the sky above the black fog, a huge faded Animal Hide flag appeared, with a picture of a wolf worshiping the moon, and black blood constantly oozing out.
"Allah!"
A low and cold voice sounded from the dark fog.
Then there was a buzzing sound, and a black cloud rose up, but it was countless arrows, as dense as rain, splashing towards this side in a parabola.
Li Yan looked at his scalp and turned around to retreat.
Even Divine Land Top Ten Grandmasters is a human being and cannot survive this horrific attack.
Although this is "Nine Gates Yin Ruins" and all scenes are mental projections, you should not be careless.
Rumble~
After the Zhengyang Gate behind you opened to the maximum, it began to slowly close again.
At the last moment when the city gate closed, Li Yan successfully retreated.
Bang bang bang!
Arrows flying all over the sky fell on the city gate like raindrops, stabbing the entire city gate like a hedgehog.
But the strange thing is that all the arrows quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated, and returned to their original appearance again.
"Allah!"
The voice in the black mist sounded again, surging and rushing towards another area.
Of course, Li Yan doesn't know all this.
Looking at the closed city gate, he felt lingering fear.
Those just now should be the cavalry charge of Golden Horde Wolf Country back then.
Why does this thing still exist in "Nine Gates Yin Ruins"?
He was full of questions.
After walking for a long time following the moving city gate, all I could see were ruins and not a single ghost.
Li Yan knows that if you want to go deeper, you may have to go through the city gate.
I wonder if I can use the escape technique later to deceive the cavalry blocking the door...
While he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up.
In the distance, a city gate appeared again, also suspended in the air and moving slowly.
The words "Chongwen Gate" are written on the city gate.
The nine gates of the capital city all have different functions.
For example, Xuanwu Gate, also known as the "Death Gate", is the passageway for the prison carriage, connecting the execution ground at Caishikou. The door opening is engraved with the words "Regret Too Late".
Chaoyang Gate is the "grain gate", which is the entrance to the grain supply. Tongzhou grain trucks pass through this to enter the warehouse. The door opening is engraved with a relief of grain ears.
Fuchengmen is the "Coal Gate" and Xizhi Gate is the "Water Gate".
The Chongwen Gate in front of you is the "tax gate". Liquor, cars and merchants must pay taxes when passing through the city.
The different functions of the nine gates may be related to this Secret Realm cave.
Li Yan Although there are speculations, it is difficult to confirm.
Just like the Zhengyang Gate that passed before, it is the emperor's exclusive "dragon chariot gate". Every winter solstice, people worship the sky and the Jingzhe plows pass by here. But inside is the remnant soul of the Golden Horde Wolf Country cavalry. Could it be a symbol of the decline of imperial power?
The moment the two city gates crossed each other, they opened simultaneously with a roar.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment and rushed directly into Chongwen Gate.
The light and shadow flickered before my eyes, and another scene appeared:
The densely packed caravans and camels could be seen as far as the eye could see, all with pale faces and black eyes, like lonely souls on Yellow Springs Road, walking slowly along the street without a word, not even the rotting mules and horses neighing.
It seemed lively, but it was deathly silent, which was very strange.
Li Yan is in the caravan, being pushed forward by the crowd.
This sight made even his scalp numb.
Rumble~
The Chongwen Gate behind him slowly closed again.
At this point, Li Yan can only move forward with the caravan without making any sound.
Fortunately, these things don't attack.
Following this strange team, Li Yan shuttled through the streets, and was quickly wrapped in gray fog behind him.
The streets here are also twisted with buildings from different eras.
I don't know how long I walked, but the chaotic streets in front of me seemed to become familiar.
However, Li Yan's expression did change suddenly.
Chongwen Gate appears ahead again!
After walking for a long time, it turned out that I was just spinning around.
Li Yan gritted his teeth, broke away from the caravan, and rushed into the surrounding ruins.
However, no matter where he goes, he will eventually return to Chongwen Gate.
Ghost Wall?
Or Secret Realm formation?
Li Yan looked around, feeling helpless.
He is not good at breaking formations, and this place is weird, as if he is trapped in some kind of cycle.
The only solution now is to leave quickly to avoid being trapped in this cycle.
Rumble~
Chongwen Gate slowly turns on again.
Li Yan was about to lift his feet, but his expression changed slightly.
"Ding... ring... ding... ring..."
The crisp and peculiar sound of bells broke the dead silence in this area.
The sound was like some kind of fine porcelain colliding with each other.
Following the sound, I saw a strange team slowly emerging outside Chongwen Gate.
It was a small vermilion brocade sedan carried by eight people. It was old and worn but had a strange luster.
The "carriage" carrying the sedan chair is not a human being, but has long hair on his body, slender limbs, a weird shaved head, and a red mouth and big eyes.
While walking, the joints all over the body made a clicking sound. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be composed of the limbs of a cicada.
This is the "hairy monkey"!
Li Yan finally remembered this thing.
"Mao Monkey" is a kind of handicraft in Beijing.
The cicada slough is used as the head and limbs, Xinyi is used as the body, Bletilla striata is used as glue, and Akebia is used as props. It is very delicate.
A skilled craftsman can create various scenes with woolly monkeys.
"Havoc in Heaven", "Parade of Hundreds of Officials", "Life in the Market"... the hairy monkeys each perform their duties and come alive.
To put it bluntly, it is a figure played by the ancients.
Li Yan knew about this thing because when he was collecting information before, he heard that there was a brilliant Daoist craftsman in the capital who could use hairy monkeys as carriers to raise Yin Soul drivers and Zi Hour sing "hairy monkey opera" in the middle of the night, which was a unique Daoist skill in the capital.
Now, these "hairy monkeys" are all magnified.
Except for the eight woolly monkeys carrying the sedan chair, the others also look like living people, wearing official hats and uniforms, leaning against flags, or pretending to be military generals.
They move stiffly and their joints make a "clicking" sound, like puppets on strings, all in uniform order.
And through the beaded curtain of the vermilion sedan, a fat figure sitting in it could be vaguely seen.
Wearing a military officer's official robe and a tiger skin hat, he has a fat white body and two huge rabbit ears on his head.
It is the legendary Tuer Ye!
It's Tuer Ye on tour!
This "hairy monkey" carried Tuer Ye's divine team. After entering Chongwen Gate, with the jingling bells on the sedan, the remnants of the crowded caravans along the way dispersed like running water and gave way to the central street.
And as Tuer Ye drove forward, the black mist surged ahead, and a new road appeared.
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he immediately remembered what happened before.
Old Fox Immortal of Hu Yuanyuan Attendant said that Tuer Ye wanted to save the child, so he learned "Nine Gates Yin Ruins".
"Jingcheng Old Ghost" also warned before that it is best to follow "Tuer Ye" after entering.
This is the only good god in "Nine Gates Yin Ruins".
Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately jumped out of the crowd and followed the team.
Tuer Ye in the shrine seemed to sense something, and his head twisted slightly, but he ignored it.
Entering the newly appeared street, the gray fog surged behind him again, and the street disappeared.
Li Yan dare not neglect and always follow closely.
This Nine Gates Yin Ruins is really weird.
The guiding incense wrapped around his body has faded a little, indicating that Zi Hour Three Religions is coming soon.
If he is not discovered by then, Wang Dao Xuan will cast a spell to drag him back.
I don't know how long I walked, but my vision suddenly became clearer.
This is a huge abandoned city wall, made of rammed earth, and is ancient.
On top of the broken wall, a huge tree stands.
Since entering "Nine Gates Yin Ruins", Li Yan saw plants for the first time, but he was not happy at all.
That's a weird peach tree.
The main trunk is as thick as a hillock, with gnarled roots, coiled around the dilapidated city wall.
If you look closely, you will see that the twisted bark is made up of countless children's faces that are stuck together and twitching in pain!
The green leaves above the peach tree are green and tender, and the dense root system is indeed blood-colored, taking root on the numerous bones below the city wall.
Among the green leaves, several huge flat peaches have grown, as tender as a fairy.
But Li Yan saw that there was only uncontrollable nausea in his chest.
The second Divine Ability he awakened, he could hear the sounds of ghosts and gods.
At this moment, the endless wailing sounds of countless children continue to echo in my mind...
But what frightened Li Yan even more were the bones under the peach tree.
The piles of white bones vaguely form an altar.
The altar is not an ordinary one. At its core is a rough rock statue Attendant:
He has the body of a leopard and the tail of a tiger, and has tiger teeth that are good at roaring. He has shaggy hair and a hoopoe.
It is recorded in <"Classic of Mountains and Seas"> that the statue of the Queen Mother is responsible for severe disasters and punishments!
Li Yan In "Dragon Palace Water Mansion" in Shuzhong, a Queen Mother God Statue was found, which is exactly the same as this one.
After years of evolution, Queen Mother of the West has transformed from a vicious god into a blessed one Orthodox God.
But the ancient and cruel statues of gods also began to have incense.
It turns out the roots are here!
The place directly in front of the altar is not empty.
There are also a dozen officials wearing ragged ancient official robes who are performing sacrifices.
The faces of these people are blurred and distorted, and their movements are as stiff as marionettes, but they carry an extremely solemn and strange rhythm.
It turned out to be a paper man!
And behind them, there are birthdays Eight Characters and names written on yellow paper.
Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Mingyuan, Mrs. Salt Transport Commissioner Lin, Marquis Anping Xiao Jinghuan...
They are all people from "Pan Peach Gathering"!
