Chapter 416: The Netherworld, Three Gods!
Suddenly, Lin Mo's body shook, and he felt indescribably clear and comfortable all over, as if he was becoming one with the world.
He had experienced this feeling before when his soul had just left his body, but it was never as strong as it is now.
He closed his eyes and saw a faint shadow swaying in the darkness, as if he was sensing something.
But when he opened his eyes, everything disappeared.
Just then, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew.
A black spot suddenly appeared in front of Lin Mo.
The black spot continued to expand and eventually formed a black hole more than one person tall.
The deep darkness seemed to swallow everything.
Even though Lin Mo concentrated his energy and blood on his eyes, he still couldn't see the scene inside clearly.
A shrill scream could be heard faintly from the depths of the black hole.
There are also the neighing of cows and horses, the crying of babies, and the wailing of wronged souls.
These sounds mixed together, like the sound of ghosts and monsters, which makes people feel creepy!
However, Lin Moyi was a skilled and courageous man and was not afraid.
Instead, he was driven by curiosity and wanted to go in and take a look.
However, he has always been cautious and naturally would not rush in directly.
He had a thought in his mind.
hum!
The blood-marked steel needle whizzed out, circled at the entrance of the cave, and then flew into the black hole with a "whoosh".
"Be bold!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the black hole.
The sound was so loud that it shook the space violently.
As soon as he finished speaking, six scarlet eyes suddenly lit up in the darkness, captivating the heart.
Immediately afterwards, the blood-patterned steel needle that had originally shot out actually rolled back.
An aura of majesty came over like an overwhelming force, enveloping Lin Mo's heart.
This aura is as majestic as the power of heaven, making people involuntarily want to kneel down and kowtow.
But Lin Mo just snorted coldly, and his blood and energy surged, and he returned to normal.
In the darkness, the three pairs of eyes were like lighthouses in the underworld, fixed on Lin Mo with full of scrutiny.
"Who dares to spy on the forbidden land of the Netherworld?"
A deep but majestic voice exploded.
Then, a huge creature slowly poked its head out of the cave.
It is very large and slender like a cheetah.
There were countless poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues wrapped around his body, which made people's scalp tingle.
But the most shocking thing is that it has three heads!
One is as majestic as a lion, the other is as ferocious as a tiger.
And the one in the middle was actually a stunningly beautiful woman.
Her black hair danced freely like snakes, just like the legendary Medusa reincarnated.
The voice just now came from that woman's mouth.
Looking at this strange creature that suddenly appeared, no matter how strong Lin Mo's concentration was, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster.
The head alone is about the size of a small room, so you can imagine how big its body must be.
However, he did not feel much hostility from the other party.
So he took a deep breath, clasped his fists and saluted, "May I ask who you are?"
The beauty in the middle smiled slightly and spoke in a cold voice.
"I am the three-headed god who guards the gate of the Netherworld! Mortal, retreat immediately, or I will make you fall into the abyss, and you will never be able to recover!"
Lin Mo suddenly realized that he had accidentally opened the passage to the Netherworld.
"I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me!" He quickly bowed and apologized.
"Humph, if I didn't think you were a bad person, I would have made you suffer a little. Don't do it again in the future!"
The beautiful head snorted coldly and then waved her hand.
The entrance of the cave shrank rapidly and finally turned into a point and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Mo was horrified and muttered to himself.
"Youfu... It is recorded in Taoist scriptures as a place where evil spirits gather. I thought it was just a fabrication, but I didn't expect it to actually exist!"
An indescribable excitement surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but daydream.
Since legendary places like the Netherworld exist.
Are the heavenly palace above the nine heavens and those gods and Buddhas in the sky also hidden in some corner of the world, quietly watching the human world?
This world is becoming increasingly difficult for him to understand.
He shook his head, putting these thoughts behind him for the moment.
He glanced at the Atlas of Sinful Spirits.
He was pleasantly surprised to find that there were two more magical powers on the skills list.
[Supernatural power: Tongyou (Earthly Evil Technique), effect: can know the affairs of the netherworld, can communicate with ghosts and gods, and can go up and down the netherworld. ]
[Supernatural power: Exorcism (Earthly Evil Technique), Effect: Has the ability to command gods and ghosts, can command mountain gods and land gods, and can also command ghosts and yellow turban warriors.]
At the same time, a series of mysterious spells flooded into Lin Mo's mind like a tide.
He secretly compared them in his mind. Although the ghost-controlling technique in "The True Explanation of the Ghost Way" was powerful, it was nothing compared to this technique of exorcising spirits.
The art of exorcism can not only control ghosts, but also exorcise gods.
"Earth has its own spirit, and mountains have their own souls..."
Lin Mo pondered for a moment before he understood.
This so-called divine being is not a real god.
Rather, it is a special existence that is the result of people’s awe and faith in nature.
For example, the land god and the mountain god.
The earth nourishes all things, so the land god is one of the gods widely worshipped by people.
The "Tongsu Pian" of Zuo Zhuan says: "Wherever there is a community, there must be a land god. The land god is the guardian of the community and is called the Shanggong."
The land god is actually the community god.
It comes from people's awe and gratitude towards the earth.
As the name suggests, the mountain god is the patron saint of the mountain.
Mountains, especially those towering and majestic mountains, are objects of people's worship.
Initially, people worshipped the mountains themselves directly and regarded them as sacred.
The rocks, plants and animals on the mountain, and even everything on the mountain.
They are all regarded as the incarnation of mountain gods, and all kinds of ghosts and spirits also depend on the mountains.
This belief developed over time.
The main mountain in each region was believed to be inhabited by a personified mountain god.
However, these gods are, after all, shaped by the myths and beliefs in people's hearts.
After realizing this, Lin Mo closed his eyes and listened attentively.
His consciousness was like an invisible net, slowly spreading out in all directions.
It seemed as if I could hear all kinds of noises coming from deep in the earth beneath my feet.
Those were the snakes, insects, rats and ants underground, as well as the whispers of the earth and stone elves.
There is also a "dong dong" sound.
That is the sound of the underground river gurgling.
"Boom-boom-boom-"
As dull as the sound of a war drum.
That is the heartbeat of the mountain spirit and land.
Mysterious and wonderful.
"These earth spirits should be the true faces of the earth gods, earth goddesses, mountain gods, etc. that are popular among the people, right?"
With this curiosity and awe, Lin Mo decided to try to communicate with them.
He quickly folded his hands into a seal to drive away gods, muttering something.
However, unexpectedly, he did not receive any response.
He guessed that it was probably because there was a dragon vein under the city of Kyoto, and the method of exorcising spirits could not be used here at all.
Lin Mo immediately stood up, changed his mind, and left the house.
A moment later, he arrived at a place outside the city.
There stands a mountain several dozen meters high in front of us.
