Five Immortals Gate
Chapter 1928: The Underworld and the Other Shore
But of course, the ghost cultivators in Huangquan City were not happy about this. Taking away the vitality meant taking away longevity, which only some extremely rare elixirs could make up for.
For example, a Nascent Soul cultivator, excluding the lifespan used in cultivation, may pick a dozen or twenty flowers with the remaining lifespan, and then he will die immediately.
However, normal elixirs for increasing lifespan cannot support it at all. Whether it is Yangshou or Mingshou, they must be incorporated into the true laws of heaven and earth.
Even ghosts from the underworld cannot increase people's longevity at will. The book of life and death is firmly in the hands of the God of Hell.
The god of hell is famous for being ruthless. The worst thing about disturbing the worlds of life and death is that it will destroy the three worlds of immortals, ghosts and mortals.
The God of Hell must tightly control this, otherwise the other true immortals will not agree. As long as a few people join forces, he can be directly driven away.
Since the ghost cultivators in Huangquan City did not agree, some high-level ghosts from the underworld thought of other methods after discussion.
It is to let the ghost cultivators of Huangquan City set certain traps at some space nodes in the Yang Realm that can communicate with Huangquan City.
Once a monk enters by mistake, he can be captured in Huangquan City and then sent to the first level of Shura Prison.
And every time a monk is sent, the Nether World will give different rewards to the ghost cultivator in Huangquan City according to the strength of the opponent's life.
However, those Ghost Sect monks did not dare to mess around, and the available space nodes they often looked for were very secretive.
Most of them are in some dangerous places or some extremely remote places, so they dare to set traps like this.
As long as a monk takes the risk to explore for the sake of immortal fate, or enters a remote and uninhabited place, even if he disappears there for no reason, there will be no suspicion later.
People like Monk Fa Ke and the others were captured in this way. According to Fa Ke, monks who had passed through the calamity realm had appeared here.
But the number is extremely small. If you want to capture that kind of person, the opponent will basically be severely injured.
Otherwise, those ghost sects in Huangquan City might just be trying to capture one person, and there would be countless casualties.
Of course, those strong men have been dead for who knows how many years now, but I heard that four hundred years ago, there were still two physical monks in this prison, but they had also exhausted their lifespan and died.
In fact, the most numerous people here are Nascent Soul monks, followed by the God Transformation monks. There are not too many Void Refining Realm monks like Fa Ke and others.
After all, the greater the magical power, the less likely it is to be captured alive when encountering danger. Basically, they will fight to the death, and nothing will be left behind in the end.
Monk Fa Ke was seriously injured when he was involved in the space node. After being squeezed by the power of space transmission, he was captured in a coma almost like Li Yan.
After that, they were sent to the underworld and imprisoned in this prison. Their greatest use was to take turns regularly picking "flowers from the other side".
For example, the open stone houses that Li Yan saw today were where the monks were escorted out to pick the "Plant of the Other Shore".
And those monks lying on the ground dying are the monks whose life span is about to be exhausted. They have all been planted with the bloody death ban and can no longer practice.
Every time you go out, you are risking your life to pick!
Even the ghosts here know that if these monks can be allowed to practice, their value can be continued.
However, in order to avoid unnecessary riots after these monks regained their magical powers, this situation has always been maintained here.
This monk Fa Ke has been here for a long time. The reason why he is still alive is because he is ruthless and has obtained the position of corps leader.
There are usually six people in a group, which is the normal number of people in a cell.
And every time they go out to pick the "Flowers of the Other Side", they must have a certain age and quantity, and at least three "Flowers of the Other Side" that are three hundred years old are needed.
If you can pick longer-lasting "flowers from the other side", then the number can be reduced accordingly. For every two hundred years, the number can be reduced by one.
The extra "Plants of the Other Side" picked every time will not be counted as the next task, but you can get some rewards.
The "Flowers from the Other Side" growing on the first floor of Shura Prison are concentrated on both sides of a river called "Minglun River", and they can only grow there.
The strong men in the Netherworld once tried to transplant the "Flower of the Other Side" from there, but they all ended in failure.
Although this kind of ghost plant is very strange, it multiplies very quickly in the "Minglun River".
Moreover, the ends of the "Minglun River" are unknown at both ends. Monk Fa Ke said that no one has ever known how long this river is, and they can't fly to check it here.
So you spend three hundred years walking along the river bank. The flowers in the front have not been picked yet, and the "flowers on the other side" in the back have reached their age...
So you only need to search along both sides of the "Netherworld River" and you will definitely be able to find it, but the Netherworld ghosts will still control the number of pickings.
Therefore, the monks in this prison do not have to go out every day. Instead, they send some people out in turn at regular intervals according to the time set by the gang.
But people like Monk Fake can use the little power they have to deprive other people in the group of their right to live.
Whenever he went out, Monk Fa Ke would let others pick the "Banana flowers", and for his share, he would also arrange for some of the monks to pick them.
If the other party disagrees, he will be beaten and tortured endlessly, and those people do not dare to commit suicide here.
Otherwise, their souls might be retrieved by the enemy, and the fate that awaits their souls is the miserable fate that Li Yan saw in the square today.
Death in the netherworld is not liberation, but just a beginning!
So in the end, many people would rather pick more "Higanbana" on their own initiative and continue to endure the great pain of being drained of vitality.
They also want to set foot on the road of reincarnation as soon as possible so that they can truly reincarnate.
The other two people in the cell who were beaten by Li Yan were the lackeys of Monk Fake, and they obeyed Monk Fahe's arrangements in everything.
This made Monk Fake order others to go over when they picked "Higanbana" later, and let these two retain more lifespans.
But such a good thing can't be a long-term thing, after all, the number of monks who can be sent here is limited.
People like Monk Fake who are too harsh, and two lackeys who are also causing trouble, now the other three people here have been killed.
There are only three people in this group, even if he is included.
So they had to think of more ways, such as finding "Higanbana" that was more than three hundred years old, so that they could pick it less often and keep their lifespan a little longer.
But in that case, they would have to take more risks.
There were too many strange and unpredictable things in the "Minglu River", and those things, like "Higanbana", often had some strange powers.
It is said that after being swallowed by those strange monsters, the soul was imprisoned in the "Minglu River", and could never escape, and would sink into the river forever.
It is precisely because of this that strange things like "Higanbana" that can swallow ghosts and the vitality of living beings can grow.
The "Minglu River" itself will emit various strange powers, covering about ten miles on both sides, and the area there is a distorted space.
The use of magic will be deformed and weakened, and the consciousness will be distorted and refracted. It is also because of this situation that even the ghosts in the underworld are unwilling to approach the "Minglu River".
Instead, they would just send these monks there and wait outside a certain range of the "Minglun River".
But if the monks wanted to take the opportunity to escape there, it would be a foolish dream. If they did not come out within the specified time, the guarding ghosts would still enter to search.
They just did not want to approach the "Minglun River", not that they could not approach it. They could still fly in it and use some magic and divine consciousness even if they were affected.
Where can these monks who have lost their cultivation run to with only two legs? Once caught, everyone knows the consequences...
So if they want to get close to the "Minglun River" and find more "Bianhua", they need to solve the various dangers that may be encountered by monk Fa Ke and others by themselves.
But after losing their cultivation, the power they can rely on is the tough flesh that has been tempered by spiritual energy.
Fortunately, the monsters in the "Minglun River" only like the environment there, especially in the "Minglun River", where the pure yin place like here, those monsters can't survive.
So when you go to pick "Bianhua" and encounter those monsters, as long as you can get away from the river bank as soon as possible, you can basically be safe.
But if you want to find a "Bianhua" with a better year, the closer you get to the "Minglun River", the more likely you are to find it, which has caused many monks to lose their lives.
And the ghosts who escorted them over have another task to monitor these monks and see if they will commit suicide with the help of those monsters.
If they are judged to be actively sending themselves to death, as long as they find the souls that have just died and have not been swallowed, the scene of going up and down the oil pan and the knife mountain will still appear in the square.
So if you want to commit suicide here, you must be able to completely destroy yourself and leave no trace between heaven and earth.
If obedient people like Monk Fa Ke can find "Bianhua" that is more than 800 years old, Fa Nan will be very satisfied, and there may be two kinds of rewards.
One is to grant a pill that can increase your life span by five to ten years. The effect of this pill is also the best the first time, and the effect will become worse and worse afterwards;
But this is still the pill that Monk Fa Ke and his companions dream of, because they can use the convenience of the squad leader and save their own life span, and then they will have the hope of waiting for the second reward.
The second reward is even more generous, if you have not received this reward before your life span is exhausted due to picking "Red Shore Flowers".
Then before you are completely eroded by the death energy and become a low-level ghost, you will be sent to Huangquan City and become a disciple of the Ghost Sect there, so that you will have the hope of rebirth.
