C47 spiritual power (2/2)

”Just now, on the mountain …” Sima Xiangru nodded, and said with some hesitation.

Chen Tianyuan sighed, he gently waved his hand and closed the doors of the blacksmith's room, and in that moment, the candle on the table lit up. Although the candle was small, it was enough to light up the entire room.

”There's no wind here.” Wan Lixing looked at the flame in the candle, which was burning brightly, without showing any sign of swaying back and forth.

”Brother Sima, do you still remember the first time we met?” Chen Tianyuan said.

Hearing that, Sima Xiangru nodded his head and said: ”A hundred years ago, in order to look for Zhuo Wenjun, I decided to come here to look for the Yamas of Ten Halls. However, after passing the bridge to Hell's examination with great difficulty, I found out that I had no chance to see the Yamas of Ten Halls at all, thus, I was depressed and decided to come here to look around.

”Cough cough, let's not talk about the body for now. I was moved by the story of you and Zhuo Wenjun. Chen Tianyuan said, full of reminiscence.

”At that time, I asked you how the Nail Village lived since he didn't go anywhere else. Remember what you told me at that time, that the hill that was not far away was another space, and that there was always spring in it. There were countless birds and beasts, and the people of the Nail Village relied on this mountain to survive. Sima Xiangru recalled his words for a while and said.

Chen Tianyuan nodded, and said somewhat helplessly: ”I apologize first, but I did not tell you the truth at that time.

”If a man has something to say, he should go to the hospital.” Wan Hur, who was shaking his calves, interrupted.

Hearing this, Wan Lixing was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. At such a young age, who did he learn all this nonsense from?

The corner of Sima Xiangru's mouth twitched, but Chen Tianyuan just laughed dryly, as though he did not dare scold him.

”Since it's something that's hard to say, I might as well not say it.” Sima Xiangru's words eased Chen Tianyuan's awkwardness.

Chen Tianyuan shook his head, then looked at Wan hee and said: ”Since this person is now here... Since this young lady has broken through, there's no need for me to hide anymore. I just hope that the three of you can help me keep my secret. ”

As they said till here, Wan Lixing and Sima Xiangru looked at Wan hee hee, not knowing what exactly was so special about Wan hee.

”The scene on the mountain just now was indeed an illusion created by me. For those who just arrived, it is completely barren from the outside, but only after entering the mountain will they truly enter the illusion.” Chen Tianyuan said.

Hearing that, Wan Lixing suddenly realised, it seemed like that monkey urinating was also an illusion.

When he was reading novels in the mortal world, he had often seen illusions. Now that he had personally experienced it, Wan Lixing was shocked. If this illusion didn't mysteriously shatter, Wan Lixing might never know that all of this was an illusion.

”As for the villagers, they've always lived here. Even from the outside, they could still see illusions …” Chen Tianyuan was a little sad when he said till here.

”Why is that?” Sima Xiangru asked.

Chen Tianyuan sighed, and started to slowly narrate the story of the past.

”400 years ago, when the central area was just about to be built here, I followed Master on a journey all the way here. Master saw that it was quiet, so he decided to stay here for a few years and peacefully forge weapons. At that time, this village would be like …”

”Later on, the Yamas of Ten Halls sent someone here to get the villagers to move out. A portion of the villagers moved away, since life outside was better, but there were also many people who insisted on staying. They said that they came to the Underworld and stayed at this place.”

Chen Tianyuan nodded his head, and said: ”That's right, the bridge to Hell's examination had been set up since the very beginning, or to be more precise, it was set up from the Primary Generation Yama King, and there were originally some old people in this village who had been in this village since then, but it's been too long, and after seeing through the reincarnation cycle of the three realms, they became at ease and reincarnated. There are even some who did not stay here for a few hundred years, and thus moved away according to the Yamas of Ten Halls's words.

”As for why they came to the Underworld at this place, it's related to the cause and effect.” Sima Xiangru interrupted.

”Causality?” Wan Lixing was startled, he felt his head hurt the moment he heard these words. There were too many causal matters in the Three Realms, even if it was just a small matter of going to the toilet, if it was carelessness or something, it would cause people to feel suffocated.

”Hmph, it's just that … Forget it, it's the primary generation's bloody past. ” He muttered unwillingly.

”Later on, when the Primary Generation Yama King set up an examination for the bridge to Hell, one of them, seeing the situation, became clear-headed and rushed out early, but there are many people who stayed behind and lived a peaceful life, anyway there are people who come here every day to sell all sorts of things, they are not worried about food or drink.”

”But what they didn't expect was that the difficulty of the bridge to Hell's examination would continue to increase until 400 years ago, when the Yamas of Ten Halls decided to build a central district of the Underworld. The difficulty of the bridge to Hell's examination could be said to have reached its peak, if there's nothing else, people outside wouldn't be willing to come in, and the entire village's communication with the outside world would be cut off, eating and drinking would become a problem, and some people who didn't stay here for too long would just listen to the Yamas of Ten Halls moving away. It was at that time that master and I came here, and decided to live in seclusion here.”
