荒墟牧神 - 第81章 幽冥暗界 - 錦書坊

Kui Sou said, "The Village Chief knows about the Dark Realm. He has been there. Let's go to the City Lord's mansion. The Village Chief is there too.

Let him tell you. "

Shen Mu was shaken.

The Village Chief had been to the world in the darkness?

The Village Chief was actually so powerful that he could enter the darkness and still return alive? "Shen'er, you actually saw that world in the darkness? "

In the City Lord's mansion, the people of Yincan Village were gathered together.

Granny Zhu still wore Fu Yundi's skin.

Pill Master, Silent Craftsman, Old Huo, Kui Sou, Blind Elder, Lame Elder, and Butcher were all present, listening as Shen Mu recounted his encounter aboard the Xizhou and his confrontation with the palm in the darkness.

The Village Chief was astonished.

"I have indeed been to that world in the darkness. When I first came to the Wilderness, I was utterly despondent. All my life's aspirations had come to nothing, and I wanted to die, yet I could not die. .

. "

He smiled bitterly, but the other villagers of Yincan Village understood the feeling—having the courage to die, yet being unable to, because the responsibility still rested on one's shoulders and had not been passed to another. "At that time, I walked the edge between life and death, again and again wanting to end my life. Once, I could not withstand the demon's temptation and walked into the darkness.

"

The Village Chief recalled the past, his expression calm. "I thought I would surely die once I entered, but I was too powerful—so powerful that the darkness could not kill me, not for a moment. "

Such words might make one think he was boasting, but the villagers of Yincan Village did not think so at all. If the Village Chief said he was too powerful, then he was too powerful.

How terrifying was the darkness? Every person in Yincan Village was a top-tier master, yet apart from the Village Chief, not one dared claim he could enter the darkness and survive. The Village Chief continued, "I walked in the darkness, mad with grief, shouting at the monsters in the dark, seeking death.

But just then, the darkness in my eyes gradually thinned, and I saw the world within it—a world overlapping with the Wilderness, yet different. It was a strange world, peeling away from the darkness all at once. .

. "

Everyone was shaken. Such a world truly existed?

What did the world in the darkness actually look like? "Although the darkness thinned, my vision was still veiled in mist, and I could not see far. Those twisted shadows sobered me.

I could see them, but not clearly. They were all very powerful—some even more powerful than I. They beckoned to me, as if inviting me. I thought of the responsibility still on my shoulders, that I could not die there, so I withdrew from the darkness. "

The Village Chief said gravely, "Later I tried to enter the darkness again to seek that hidden world, but I could not find it. The world Shen'er saw must be the same one I saw.

That world in the darkness, I call the Dark Realm.

And the world we inhabit, I call the Bright Realm.

Light and dark correspond and alternate. By day, the Bright Realm holds sway; by night, the Dark Realm holds sway. Shen'er, the Sun Guardian of the Sun-Herding Clan told you that you might come from the Worry-Free Land, and that the Worry-Free Land sometimes appears in the darkness? "

Shen Mu nodded. The others exchanged glances. Pill Master smiled and said, "Shen'er, go back and rest for now. The Jingping Army has just withdrawn, and the city is full of mixed company.

We all need to keep watch tonight. "

Shen Mu assented, left the City Lord's mansion, and returned to the inn to rest. In the City Lord's mansion, the Village Chief, Pill Master, Lame Elder, Silent Craftsman, Granny Zhu, and the others wore grave expressions. After a long while, Lame Elder chuckled and said, "The child we raised might be from the Dark Realm—a demon from the world of darkness. . . "
