Chapter 178: Angler

Although he was warned by Shang Guan, Ye Dongtian had already got the answer, and after looking at Ding Lingxi with some surprise, he stopped talking.
Ding Lingxi wiped away the tears, did not hear what they were talking about, walked straight to the lounge chair under the tree, sat down on it, and muttered: "You bastard, you must not die. People say the worse they are. The less likely it is to die, like you, how can it be easily beaten to death."
Hearing her mumbling, Ye Dongtian and Shang Guan looked at each other, and they were a little bit dumbfounded.
This little saint is still a little childish after all.
...
Lu Li felt that he was in a chaos, unable to control his body, and could not even feel the presence of his body.
Looking forward, there is a grayish scenery all around, and the road is completely invisible.
However, Lu Li felt that his consciousness was extremely clear. This strange feeling confused him for a while. After a long time at a loss, he remembered the existence of'self' and tried to make a sound.
"Is anyone here."
His voice came out clearly, echoing in this peculiar ‘space’, and the gray mist seemed to be distorted by sound waves.
Lu Li's consciousness stopped in place for a while, and finally realized that his current state was very bad, "Isn't my soul out of the body?"
Looking around again, Lu Li lowered his head and found that the distorted gray mist was gathering to create a'body' for him.
When a complete body was formed, Lu Li shook the palm of his hand and looked at his attire again. Everything was the same as before.
The only difference is probably that there is no color in this world, including his skin appearing grayish white.
After a moment of silence, Lu Li stepped forward.
The gray mist seemed to be actively guiding him, stepping aside, revealing a stone path floating in the dark void.
On the other side of the stone road, something seemed to be calling him.
Lu Li tentatively stepped on the stone path, the touch was very real, so he continued to walk along the stone path.
Along the way, the gray mist continued to disperse, and the stone path under my feet grew longer and longer, as if it would never end. Lu Li looked down the stone road, where there seemed to be a slowly flowing river, but it was not very real through the gray mist.
"Is it Netherworld here? The Mansion? Huangquan Road?"
As Lu Li walked forward, he analyzed his current situation, "Could it be that I am really dead?"
Thinking of this, Lu Li quickly tried to call the modifier in his mind.
However, the interface of the modifier still emerges, as if no matter what state you are in, it will never affect its operation.
"The soul-bound thing is the biggest black technology." Lu Li turned off the modifier and stabilized his mind a little. Since the modifier can be called out, it means that there is no problem with his essence.
Regardless of the original physical body, at least his consciousness, or soul, a series of strange things still existed in his soul. In this world, as long as the consciousness is not extinguished and the self is still there, then it is not considered complete death.
This is why Lu Li was very curious about the Netherworld at the beginning.
Finally, after walking for an unknown period of time, Lu Li came to the end of the stone path and saw a gray-white stone stele. He did not know whether it was because of the mysterious realm or the original color of the stone stele. Lu Li stepped forward. After observing it for a while, he found that he couldn't understand the seal inscription on the stone tablet.
"Ancient characters? Alien characters?"
Lu Li thought for a moment, just about to open the eyes of exploration, a slow coughing sound caught his attention.
Following the sound, Lu Li realized that he was on the bank of the river. There was a figure sitting not far away from the stone monument, wearing a hat on his head and carrying a fishing rod. That cough was exactly what he made.
"Excuse me, what is this place?" Lu Li didn't walk too close, arching his hand at the man from a distance.
The figure sitting on the bank of the river ignored him. After a few coughs, he threw the fishing line into the river, humming an unknown weird little tune, in a posture like no one else.
When Lu Li saw this, he was not in a hurry to explore the stone tablet, keeping a distance from the man, and sitting on the bank of the river to observe the big river.
The water of the big river is black, if you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is a big river hidden here. After observing for a while, Lu Li found that something seemed to be swimming in the depths of the river. Before he could look closely, the mysterious man fishing suddenly lifted his rod and caught a gray-white person from the river.
Yes, it's people.
The man's expression was dull, and his eyes were filled with blankness. He was thrown to the shore and motionless. After a while, he turned into a cloud of gray mist and got into the fisherman's basket.
Lu Li's expression changed slightly. Just about to speak, the angler took the initiative and said, "This is not where you should be."
Lu Li was taken aback, and quickly said, "Senior, what exactly is this place?"
The angler grabbed a gray mist from the fish basket and stuffed it into his mouth, making a scalp-numbing chewing noise, and said vaguely: "The living people refuse to come, and the dead only want to go."
"Nether?"
Lu Li murmured, "Netherworld does exist?"
"Nether? Haha." The fisherman smiled and ate up the entire gray fog with a misty voice: "It's still far from Nether."
After that, he put down the fishing rod in his hand and turned his head to face Lu Li.
Only then did Lu Li discover that this person's face was completely a black mist with a twist and only a weird mouth.
"This is Liangjiehe, and the dead warriors will sneak into the netherworld from here, trying to rebuild the martial arts."
"Unfortunately, for countless years, there have been countless warriors who want to cross the Liangjiehe, but there are no one who can walk through."
After the fisherman said this, he turned his head and continued to fish the gray ‘people’ in the river.
Lu Li stood there thinking for a while, and asked, "Then why did seniors say that this is not the place I should come to?"
This time, the fisherman did not pretend to be silent, and said indifferently: "You are still alive. Although you don't know how to get here, your luck should be very bad."
He pointed to the stone tablet and said: "If you continue to move forward, the soul-suppressing tablet will grab your soul back and throw it into the two worlds river to wash away your consciousness."
"Hunhun stele?" Lu Li turned to look at the stone stele, and said thoughtfully, "It turns out that the meaning on the stone stele is Zhenhun?"
"Maybe." The angler laughed strangely and stopped talking.
Lu Li turned around and asked, "Then how do I go back?"
"The way back is there. If you want to go back, just leave." The fisherman said strangely: "You baby, you can't be a fool."
"..."
Lu Li sighed and said, "Senior can really make a joke. If the road back is so easy, then why doesn't Senior go?"
"Why should I leave? There is food and drink here, no one bothers me, this kind of life can't be desired by many people."
The fisherman said with disdain: "You little baby, don't call me a predecessor. I am not the kind of fool who has been trapped for many years and asks the other person to learn from me when I see someone."
"It seems that Senior also understands very well." Lu Li nodded, "But I have no interest in the inheritance of Senior. If Senior really doesn't know how to go back, then I will leave first."
After speaking, Lu Li arched his hands, crossing the stele and wanted to continue walking.
But just before he took two steps, a fishing line flew from behind, entangled him and couldn't move.
"You kid is really stupid. Didn't I tell you that you will be suppressed if you cross the stone tablet?"
The fisherman's voice said gloomily: "If you want to die this way, why do you have to make Liangjiehe cheaper? I'll forget it."
"Senior, we know that people don't talk secretly. If the stone tablet can really suppress the souls of people who come and go, why hasn't Senior been taken into the two worlds river?"
Lu Li smiled and said, "And seniors said that I was bad luck. I'm afraid I didn't mean that I met Liangjiehe, but seniors you?"
The fisherman was silent for a moment, and finally said: "You baby is not stupid. It seems that it has been too long since the soul has entered this place. My deceptive skill is a bit strange."
He loosened the fishing line and said lightly: "Well, since you saw it through, I won't eat you today."
