I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin felt as if he had passed through a layer of water, and then the hustle and bustle reached his ears.

The sight in front of him made him freeze in place, with a look of shock on his face.

After a while, he looked back with a strange look on his face. The ancient bridge had disappeared, replaced by bustling streets.

There are antique buildings on both sides of the road, various types of vendors, and pedestrians constantly coming and going. Everything is very different from the gloomy environment just now, as if returning from hell to the human world.

Is this coming out?

Chen Lin was still a little unbelievable, it seemed too easy.

I let go of my spiritual sense to investigate, and determined that they were all living people, and they were all mortals.

This gave him a slight sigh of relief.

But he still remained vigilant. After all, in the space where countless independent cabins were gathered, the ghosts that appeared were just like living people, and it was impossible to distinguish between true and false.

He moved forward cautiously, checking carefully as he went.

After walking for a while, and feeling that nothing unusual could be seen, he grabbed a young man who looked like a scholar and said, "Sir, may I ask where this place is?"

The scholar glanced at him and said doubtfully: "Isn't the strong man a local? This is Dukou Town!"

Fukou Town?

Chen Lin nodded, cupped his hands and said, "I'm indeed not a local. I'm sorry to bother you, sir. Do you know which big city is closer to this place?"

The scholar shook his head and said, "That's too far. This town is the largest city nearby. Where do the strong men come from?"

As he said that, he looked at Chen Lin with a scrutinizing look, as if he suspected that Chen Lin was a lawless person.

Chen Lin's expression changed, he looked at the other person and said, "I'm from Guqiao Village."

The scholar showed a look of surprise and said: "Guqiao Village, I have heard of this place. It seems to be very unpeaceful. Only heroes like the strong man can come out!"

After saying that, he no longer doubted Chen Lin and left.

Chen Lin was stunned on the spot.

The other party actually knew about Guqiao Village!

According to his understanding, Guqiao Village has been reduced to ghosts. It must have been a village that existed at least a hundred years ago. How could the people here know?

The only possibility is that this is still not the real outside, but part of a weird scene!

Such thoughts made Chen Lin's heart sink. Just as he was about to ask someone else, he heard a familiar voice, "Haha, Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed extraordinary. He came here so quickly!"

Chen Lin suddenly turned around and saw Luo Ziwen looking at him with a smile.

Tavern.

Private room on the second floor.

"This place is so weird, isn't Fellow Daoist Luo afraid that the food and wine here are not real?"

Chen Lin sat opposite Luo Ziwen, watching the other person enjoying his meal, and couldn't help but ask aloud.

Luo Ziwen laughed and said: "In this world, things are unreal and real, real and unreal, so why worry about it too much? Since you and I can appear here, it proves that there is a reason for its existence. Naturally, we can eat this food and wine, even if it is It’s fake, but it’s real to you and me at this point.”

Chen Lin shook his head and did not move his chopsticks randomly like the other party. Instead, he continued to ask: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Luo knows a lot about this place. Can you tell me something about it?"

He has now confirmed that he is still in the strange space and has not left. He has just entered the second stage from the first stage, and the other party has already arrived here, looking leisurely and contented. He knows the inside story at a glance.

"Didn't you just know from that scholar's mouth that this is Fukou Town?"

Luo Ziwen drank a cup and spoke slowly.

Seeing that Chen Lin was silent and looking at him, he smiled lightly and said: "Dukou Town, as the name suggests, is a ferry business, but what is ferried here is not goods and living people, but souls!"

"Soul ferry, the underworld?"

Chen Lin was shocked.

If it were an ordinary ghost, he might be able to kill it with the power of the Soul-Destroying Finger, but if it was the underworld, then his meager skills would mean nothing.

But the underworld only exists in legend. Although there are many stories circulated, there are no records in the classics about who has actually entered it.

In other words, no one can come out alive after entering.

"What, are you scared?"

Luo Ziwen glanced at him and teased: "It's useless to be afraid. It's impossible to go back to the original place. By the way, you explored several villages in the house before you came here?"

"one."

Chen Lin didn't hide anything.

If he wants to get information from the other party, he has to be more candid.

Luo Ziwen opened his mouth, then suddenly clasped his fists and said: "I admire you. Daoyou Chen is indeed a great person. He dared to choose a wooden house for the first time, and he was able to find the key to the rules in the house and come here. I pride myself on being extremely smart, but it only took me three times to find out." The mystery is so great that I almost died in it.”

Chen Lin's heart moved when he heard this. It seemed that the other party's way of leaving was different from his.

He said that you couldn't get out by killing all the ghosts inside. Those ghosts couldn't be killed by ordinary means, not even fake spirit treasures. It was impossible for everyone to have a soul-killing finger.

However, there was no need to say this out loud. Instead, he pretended to be angry and said: "It turns out that the grades of thatched cottages and wooden houses there are different. My fellow Taoist didn't tell me this. It's so boring!"

That's what he said, but Chen Lin secretly murmured in his heart. He remembered that the house where Fengrun woman lived seemed to be an earthen house, and the foundation below was made of bluestone.

If houses really have levels, this house must be higher than the wooden house.

At this time, Luo Ziwen said: "It's not my fault. When I met you, I was just suspicious and not sure. Naturally, I can't give you casual advice. It would be a sin if I misled you. After I entered the wooden house and found out, I came here directly, it’s impossible to go back and inform you.”

Chen Lin did not dwell on this matter, and continued to return to the previous topic, saying: "Fellow Taoist Luo has been here for a few days, and he should have learned a lot of things. Can you talk to me about it?"

"This is no problem." Luo Ziwen nodded and said: "According to what I have learned these days, this place is indeed the same as the legendary underworld. Of course, this is just my guess, and it may just be an ancient ruin similar to the underworld."

Having said this, he suddenly took out a jade talisman and activated it to form a small barrier, covering the two of them inside.

Then he continued: "This town is similar to the space where you and I fell out of the teleportation before. It is surrounded by a closed area, but there is a ferry. There will be a boat there every month, and every time it will pick up... Go alone."

"Pick up one person at a time?" Chen Lin frowned after hearing this, "Then how to determine where the people who were picked up went? After all, you and I are real living people. We don't want to go back to our original world. To the underworld.”

Luo Ziwen shook his head and said: "This is still unclear. This is all I know now, and the time has not come yet. I haven't seen what the ferry boat looks like. I will study it after I see it."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Chen Lin stopped asking further.

He couldn't be sure whether the other party didn't want to say it, or he really didn't know, but the two of them were not familiar with each other, and the other party was stronger than him, so even if he didn't want to say it, he couldn't force it.

After saying a few more words, he said goodbye and left, going out to investigate on his own.
