"Gates of Hell?" Lin Bai said while looking at the old man in front of him with a slightly stunned expression.
The old man nodded and took the cigarette from Lin Bai's hands in a familiar manner. After smoking for a while, he said, "I also heard about this from the older generation, and it was said that every few decades, the Gates of Hell would open once. At that time, hundreds of ghosts would go into the night, and day and night would reverse.
Hearing the old man's words, Lin Bai could not help but laugh. The door to hell that the old man spoke of was not the same as the one in's mind.
The door to hell the old man was talking about was actually the legendary door to the gates to hell, July 15th. In ancient China, July 15th was really taken very seriously by people, even going so far as to be a separate festival. It was a festival to pay homage to the dead, and in some places it was still a tradition.
"Young man, don't believe me. When this old man was young, he had met the Wall-Hitting Ghost, and almost lost his life." The old man sighed with emotion when he saw the smile on Lin Bai's face.
Seeing the serious look on the old man's face, Lin Bai could not refute him, so he said: "Old Gramps, then tell me what exactly happened at the Gates of Hell!"
"If this was passed down from the older generation, I'd probably have to wait a hundred years for me to find out." The old man looked at Lin Bai and said awkwardly.
Lin Bai laughed and shook his head, then said: "Old man, please let me take a look."
Speaking till this point, the old man thought that Lin Bai was indeed someone who came here to conduct research, so he did not stop him and placed him inside.
Once he entered, Lin Bai felt a chill all over his body. Although it was already past summer, but it was right at the time when the autumn tigers were wreaking havoc. Outside the security perimeter, Lin Bai still felt uncomfortable under the scorching sun, but the surroundings of the Sky Cavern was filled with dense, cold air, as if a natural air-conditioner had been turned on.
"This Yin Field truly lives up to its name." Lin Bai sighed with emotion as he glanced at the blade of grass that was frozen over at the mouth of the Sky Cavern.
Since there was no one around, the Small black cat became bold and climbed onto Lin Bai's shoulder. He Shaoyu's eyes lit up when she saw the pocket-sized Small black cat's appearance. She was instantly killed by its cute appearance and naturally reached out to hug it.
But unexpectedly, before he could reach his hand out, the Small black cat suddenly turned around and let out a low roar at He Shaoyu. The hairs on its neck all stood up, and it even bared its fangs at He Shaoyu, threatening him in a hundred different ways.
"Don't touch this thing, it doesn't know how to be human. It's an unreasonable thing!" Lin Bai looked at the Small black cat on his shoulder and laughed bitterly.
He Shaoyu was at a loss for words, but seeing the Small black cat's appearance, he could only give up. Looking at the hole in front of him that was emitting cold air, He Shaoyu curiously looked at Lin Bai and said softly: "Brother Lin, this place can't really be a Gates of Hell, right?!"
"The Gates of Hell isn't here. I've been there before." After Lin Bai finished, seeing He Shaoyu's surprised face, he smiled and explained the whole story.
So there was actually a place in China with the same name as this old man, it was called the Gates of Hell. However, it was true that the Gates of Hell was not in the Moyuz, but in the Kunlun Mountains. Furthermore, Lin Bai had personally visited that place when he was travelling around the Jianghu.
Legend has it that the shepherds who lived in Mount Kunlun would rather starve to death on the desert beach than enter the deep, ancient, and silent valley where the grasses flourished in the depths of Mount Kunlun.
This valley was the Gates of Hell. It was filled with wolf furs, bear bones, hunter spears, and desolate graves, giving the world a ghastly and terrifying aura of death.
Legend has it that in the early days, a herd of Qinghai pasture horses wandered into Death Valley because of their gluttony for the fat grass in the valley. A herdsman ventured into the valley in search of a horse.
A few days later, his body was found on a small mountain in a valley. His clothes were torn, his feet were bare, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and he still held the shotgun in his hand. Inexplicably, there were no injuries or signs of an attack on his body.
Not long after the disaster had occurred, the geological team working nearby had heard of it and had rushed to the Gates of Hell to investigate. However, they didn't expect that the moment they entered the Gates of Hell, they would run into something that caused their souls to scatter.
A thunderous roar accompanied by a sudden snowstorm caused the chef at the entrance to the valley to faint on the spot. According to the cook's recollection, the moment he heard the thunder, he felt numb all over, his eyes went black, and then he lost consciousness. On the second day, the corpses of his team members also appeared in the valley. The corpses were still intact, but there were no signs of life.
The geological team quickly organized to inspect the valley. It was found that the magnetic anomaly in this area was very obvious, and the distribution was very wide. The deeper they went into the valley, the higher the magnetic anomaly value was. Under the influence of electromagnetic effects, the charges in the clouds and the magnetic field in the valley cause charges and discharges, making the place a minefield, and the lightning often targets the animals that run.
Back then, Lin Bai had heard people talking about the power of the Kunlun Mountain's Death Valley and the Door of Hell. Furthermore, he wanted to personally go to the Kunlun Mountain to see the state of China's Ancestral Dragon Land.
In Mount Kunlun, there was no need for words to describe the magnificence of the place where the Dragon Bloodline originated. However, Lin Bai had discovered the secret of the Dead Man Valley, which was the Gates of Hell on Mount Kunlun.
The location of the Door of Hell was located at the draining grounds of the Kunlun Mountain's Ancestral Dragon Mountain Range. It was also where the dragon's aura leaked out.
"There are many glaciers in Mount Kunlun, and landslides can be seen often. The Gates of Hell is the place where the dragon vents out the ground and the dragon's aura turns into a deathly aura, which is why people and animals die the moment they enter." I think the people at the Geological Institute understood this too, but I was forced to make this conclusion in order to appease people. " Lin Bai sighed as he looked at He Shaoyu.
Hearing Lin Bai's words, He Shaoyu was so scared that his heart was beating wildly, and his face was full of shock. On the other hand, when the Small black cat with the arrow heard Lin Bai's words, not only did it not feel fear, it was also staring at Lin Bai with a hungry expression.
"Fuck, what are you doing with your brain again? Hurry up and tell me. Don't set a trap for me in the future!" Lin Bai turned his head and saw the expression of the Small black cat, and his heart trembled as he asked anxiously.
The Small black cat's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as it stared at Lin Bai, blinking mysteriously. Seeing the appearance of the Small black cat, Lin Bai could not help but take in a breath of cold air. Looking at the Small black cat, he asked in a trembling voice: "Did you set your mind on the karmic luck of the Mount Kunlun Ancestral Dragon Land?!"
Hearing Lin Bai's words, the Small black cat nodded its head, its eyes squinting down like crescent moons.
"Do you think that the ancestral land of the Kunlun Mountains is your backyard? If you want to talk about dragon qi, you can talk about dragon qi. If I had a way, I would have already cleaned up the place, why would I need to talk to a greedy cat like you right now?! " Lin Bai gritted his teeth as he said this to the Small black cat.
It was not as if he had never thought about it before, but Mount Kunlun was an unfathomable and mysterious place to begin with. Furthermore, the dragon aura within the Gates of Hell did not allow even a sliver of Yin Energy to enter, which was why he had returned empty-handed.
The Small black cat's eyeballs rolled around, looking like a shifty-eyed rat. After pausing for a moment, it stood up and pointed its little claws straight at itself.
When the Small black cat did this, Lin Bai's heart was moved. The Small black cat was a spirit being formed by the accumulation of Baleful Yin Force, so Baleful Yin Force was not of much use to it.
With the nourishment of the Earth Vein Dragon Qi, even if Lin Bai were to warm it up with a few extremely inferior pieces of jade for a few days, he was afraid that he would still be able to nurture a magic tool.
But this kind of thing, Lin Bai could only think about it in his heart. The Gates of Hell was the place where the ancestral dragons were excreted, and if he were to be incited and manipulated by this Small black cat, even if there were to be any mishaps, he would probably die without knowing how he did it.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai laughed dryly a few times, and said: "Master Cat, Cat Ancestor, I beg of you, stop insulting me here. "Mount Kunlun is the foundation of China's dragon veins, if I follow you there, I'll go crazy. If you like to play, you can go there by yourself and play. Don't pull me!"
Lin Bai and the Small black cat fought back and forth, while He Shaoyu, who was at the side, was completely dumbfounded. Pointing at the Small black cat, he asked Lin Bai timidly: "Does this thing understand human language?"
Lin Bai nodded his head with a face full of helplessness. From the looks of it, if he were to go out in the future, he would have to explain to others that this fellow was a Yin Spirit.
Looking at Lin Bai's appearance, He Shaoyu gasped. After carefully staring at the Small black cat from top to bottom, he gave Lin Bai a thumbs up and said, "Brother Lin is awesome, this thing can even be accepted as a pet!"
When the Small black cat heard the word "pet," it bared its fangs. Lin Bai did not care about its appearance. He looked down at the Small black cat and smiled sinisterly: "Master Cat, I need to discuss something with you. This place is your homeland no matter what. Can you go down and have a look? Think of it as a revisit? "
