Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Black Water of the Underworld
Ji Huanxi has never experienced such a long quarter of an hour in his life.
As they had guessed, the Yin Dragon, hiding in the shadows, was aware of their presence, and as time went on, the power that the Yin Dragon could wield became more and more powerful.
The Yin Spirits came like a tide, and thousands of them had been piled up in the blink of an eye, and that number of Yin Spirits had almost encroached on every corner of Ji Huanxi's eyes, killing them endlessly.
Wei Lai was still meditating with his eyes closed, Ji Huanxi didn't know, and he couldn't figure out what a monk from the Second Realm could do to completely solve the trouble in front of him. But at this moment, it is difficult for her to ride a tiger, and she can only choose to believe Wei Lai.
It's just that she doesn't have a method like Wei Lai that continuously draws power, this method of burning the sky with red pupils is very expensive for her, although each use can harvest the lives of hundreds of Yin Souls, but it can't be used for a long time.
Roar!
The new yin spirits came back to life again, they roared and rushed to kill, Ji Huanxi had to urge the little spiritual power left in her body again, the pair of huge eyes behind her opened again, her eyes stared, and she looked deeply, so the yin spirits everywhere they passed around were lit with raging flames, and turned into ashes in the roar and wail.
Ji Huanxi, who had finished all this, turned her head and glanced at the young man beside her, her silver teeth were clucking, and at this moment, she was extremely angry at Wei Lai's irresponsible behavior.
But Rao is like this, she can only look around vigilantly, beware of a fish that has slipped through the net and collided with Wei Lai, who closed his eyes at this moment.
The black yin qi came again, rolling up the black powder particles on the ground, and one after another yin spirits were reborn under the nourishment of yin qi.
Ji Huanxi gasped, stared at the ghosts who were staring at her, and whispered in her mouth: "The surname is Wei, do you want to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks with this girl so much?"
Roar!
At this time, those yin spirits also regained their strength, and after a loud roar, they once again launched a charge towards Ji Huanxi.
The overwhelming shadows covered almost every corner of Ji Huanxi's eyes, and hideous and distorted faces filled the entire dense forest. Ji Huanxi's eyes sank, and he forced a breath to urge the method of burning the sky with red pupils one last time.
Rise!
But at that moment, a high-pitched dragon roar came from the depths of the dense forest.
This is exactly the same as the sound of Ji Huanxi almost catching the dragon chant before, and when the sound sounded, the dark black sound waves spread out layer upon layer like a tide.
Ji Huanxi's body shook, and the little spiritual power left in his body stirred, and the eyes behind him that had been opened did not get the spiritual power it needed as support, and after opening them, they suddenly closed again......
Immediately, the huge eyes shook, and cracks appeared on them.
Bang - with a crisp sound, the eyes suddenly shattered like glass and scattered into points of light. Ji Huanxi, who was connected to her heart, suffered this backlash, her face turned pale, and the golden flame mark in the center of her eyebrows suddenly poured out from the center of her eyebrows, and turned into a golden pendant, falling off from between her eyebrows. Then her body trembled, and she was about to fall behind her. And those ghosts naturally won't let go of this opportunity, their speed is getting faster and faster, and the first to bear the brunt has already rushed to Ji Huanxi's face, and the dark green claws poked out, directly taking Ji Huanxi's face.
......
Ji Huanxi has seen too much life and death.
She had also imagined what she would think when the moment came for her—fear, anger, reluctance?
In fact, when the moment really came, and when it was so close to her, her mind was blank, and she didn't have time to think about anything, just watched the whistling claws stab at her inch after inch.
The dark green light shone like stars on her pupils, then enlarged, and after a few breaths, it invaded her entire eyeball.
For the first time, death was so close to her, and she seemed to be able to do nothing but wait for that moment to come.
"Bastard. She scolded the boy who had put all this in her hands indiscriminately in her heart again, and then accepted this fate calmly.
She glanced again at the ugly, hideous face that was close at hand.
She thought at that moment, how could she die at the hands of such an ugly guy.
Bite!
And at the moment when such a thought arose, the dark green light that had infected her entire pupil suddenly went out.
Of course, to be precise, it is not extinguished, the faint green light is obscured by something.
It's a very small thing.
Whether it was compared to the Yin Soul in the sky or Ji Huanxi itself, that thing seemed so insignificant.
But the moment it suddenly appeared, a black light suddenly burst out of its body, separating the yin qi in the sky.
Ji Huanxi came back to her senses after a brief stunned moment, she fixed her eyes and saw the original appearance of the thing that bloomed with a terrifying black glow - it was a black droplet.
It was as if it had appeared out of thin air, and the black light rippling around it seemed to terrify these ghosts, and the still menacing ghosts stopped their offensive one after another the moment the black droplets appeared.
This is......
Ji Huanxi has been smart since she was a child, and she is born with an innate ability to never forget her.
She had already read the books in the Longxiang Palace in Tailin City, and she was familiar with most of the things recorded in the books, but she couldn't remember what it was for a while, and it could have such an effect.
But after that, she rang Wei Lai for the first time, she hurriedly turned her head to look and saw that the young man had come to his senses at some point, he smiled at her and nodded, and laughed softly: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Immediately, I saw the young man's hand suddenly stretched out, and gently shook it towards the black water droplet suspended in mid-air, and at that moment, the divine door on his chest lit up, and the golden light and blood light were intertwined.
Bite!
Another crisp sound rang out.
Ji Huanxi turned his head as if he felt something, and looked at the black water droplet suspended in mid-air.
I saw that the droplets of water trembled slightly, and then suddenly exploded, turning into a black tide, spreading out, and sweeping away all those ghosts wherever they passed.
And those menacing and hideous Yin Spirits, whenever they touched the black tide, they all let out bursts of heart-rending screams at that time, and puffs of green smoke rose from their bodies as if they were being scorched by lava.
"North of the North, the Land of the Red Moon. A river is called the Lethe River, and the Lethe River flows westward, straight into the nameless place, and flows into the Stygian Sea. “
"The ghosts of the world gather in the Stygian Sea, and it has become a country of dead souls, called the underworld. ”
"The sea of ghosts and ghosts is called ......"
Catching a glimpse of the situation in front of her, such a text suddenly appeared in Ji Huanxi's mind, and she muttered to herself in a low voice, and at that moment finally remembered the name of the thing in front of her—the black water of the underworld......
According to Ji Huanxi's knowledge, most of the records in the book are absurd and inconsistent, and they are more like mythological stories written through legends and conjectures.
For a long time, the existence of this thing was regarded as a speculation and apocryphal thing by the author, and it was not until a thousand years ago that a certain ghost cultivator refined this black water of the underworld with the soul of a living person through continuous killing and various appalling cruel methods, and the world gradually believed in the existence of the underworld. But that place remains a mystery to the world, after all, no one has ever actually reached it.
This thing can absorb the ghosts, and naturally these spirits are extremely afraid of this thing.
Ji Huanxi was surprised that the young man in front of him could have such a vicious and powerful method, and the gaze he looked at the other party couldn't help but become strange.
And at this moment, the young man who was urging the black water of the underworld with all his strength was still unaware of this, his eyebrows were gloomy, the divine gate light on his chest was staggered, and the dragon behind him was also a golden light, driving this thing to consume him greatly, and he had to draw strength from the snake's body with all his strength to barely balance the spiritual power consumption in his body.
Finally, after the scene of a hundred breaths, the last yin spirit merged into the black water in an unwilling roar, the young man's eyes condensed, the hand that stretched out his hand opened vigorously, and the black tide that permeated the Tonglin was like a spirit, and suddenly gathered in one place, and once again turned into a black water drop the size of a grain of rice and fell into the young man's hand.
Wei Lai stretched out his hand and shook it, the black water of the underworld submerged into his palm, and the dragon phase behind him and the divine gate on his chest also converged on a terrifying brilliance at that time and disappeared.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
After doing this, Wei Lai gasped heavily, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Ji Huanxi looked at the Tonglin in front of him, where there was no trace of the ghost, and his hanging heart let go a little.
"I thought that a person like Childe was upright in both his actions and in his life, but I didn't want to practice such a secret method, which really surprised Huanxi. ”
Wei Lai calmed down his disordered internal breath a little, and then glanced at the woman: "I also thought that a character like the girl was omniscient and omnipotent, and she should know that this black water in the underworld was taken from the hands of that snake, and now it seems that the girl does not seem to have complete insight into the vicious dogs under her hands." ”
When he was fighting against the snake in Wupan City that day, the appearance of the Buddha and the demon in the divine gate on his chest appeared and took away the black water of the underworld of the snake, and since then this black water of the underworld has been entrenched in the divine gate of Wei Lai. Wei Lai has been trying to refine this thing, but the progress is not satisfactory, just when Fang was in danger, Wei Lai gritted his teeth and decided to use this underworld black water through the Buddha and demon phase in the Divine Gate, fortunately, he entered the Lingtai Realm yesterday, coupled with the many benefits brought to him by Sun Daren's breakthrough, the spiritual power in his body was much stronger than that of ordinary Second Realm monks, and only then did he rely on the continuous power provided by the dragon phase behind him to urge this underworld black water through the divine pattern on the divine gate.
Ji Huanxi, who heard this, was shocked, she glanced at the young man in front of her deeply, and made sure that the other party's words were not improvised nonsense. But she really never knew about it, and for a while she couldn't tell whether the queen mother was deliberately hiding it from her, or even the queen didn't know about it. Thinking of this, Ji Huanxi's face was a little solemn, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"If the girl wants to find out the root of the queen's mother, then we have to solve the trouble in front of us first. Just as Ji Huanxi was thinking about this, Wei Lai's voice suddenly sounded.
Ji Huanxi was stunned, what she was best at was this way of spying into people's hearts, but at this moment, she was broken by Wei Lai's words. Ji Huanxi's brows furrowed, but he quickly reined in his thoughts and raised his eyes to look into the depths of Tonglin.
As the yin spirit dissipated, most of the yin qi in the Tong Forest also dissipated, and the vision became much clearer, and the huge ancient tree that existed in the depths of the Tong Forest also revealed its outline. Without the obstruction of the Yin Spirit, the next road was naturally very simple for the two of them, but after a hundred breaths, the two came to the ancient tree.
It was noon at this moment, but the golden halo that shrouded the ancient tree when Wei Lai first saw it was obscured by the yin qi that had become thin but still existed in the Tong Forest.
The sacred and solemn breath of that day was gone, but the twilight was dull.
"Is this the spirit tree that has suppressed the Yin Dragon for seven hundred years?" Ji Huanxi, who came to the bottom of the tree, looked up at the towering sky in front of him, and asked softly.
Wei Lai also raised his head at that time, and he carefully calculated that it would only be three or four days before he left the ancient tree he had last seen. But in just a few days, the ancient tree in front of me has undergone almost earth-shaking changes - its trunk has become shriveled and hollowed, and there are signs of decay everywhere, and the leaves on its staggered and dense branches are yellow, like an old man who is about to die, waiting to take his last breath. And there is still yin qi overflowing from the link between the trunk of the ancient tree and the ground, turning into yin spirits, but the number and frequency of these yin spirits are not fast, and they cannot threaten Wei Lai and Ji Huanxi.
"It's dying. Wei Lai retracted his gaze and said.
This is not a difficult conclusion to make, but anyone with eyes can glimpse these clues from the present state of this ancient tree.
Ji Huanxi stretched out his hand and burned the four or five Yin Spirits who surrounded him into ashes with Lingyan, and then looked around with a sinking gaze: "That kid seems to be gone, I can't feel his breath." ”
Wei Lai stared at the giant tree with heavy eyes and said, "That child is in that tree." ”
"Huh?" Ji Huanxi was stunned, with her cultivation, she couldn't understand this matter, how did Wei Lai, who only had the Second Realm, do it? But thinking of Wei Lai's various performances that surpassed his due cultivation before, Ji Huanxi also put away these doubts.
"So we're going to have to start with this ancient tree anyway. Ji Huanxi lowered his eyes and said.
"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded, said no more, and stepped forward in silence, about to walk to the ancient tree.
"Is there a way for Childe to pull him out of this tree?" Ji Huan was happy to see Wei Lai's move, so he guessed a little, but in his heart, he was more and more curious about this young man.
"I don't know, but I might try, and even if I can't find the child, I should be able to save the ancient tree. Wei Lai said in a low voice, he had done this at Wang Dao'an's request before, although the golden power in his body was thin now, as long as this method was effective, he did not recommend extracting divinity from the Demon Bead to heal this ancient tree.
"I have to let the girl protect the Dharma for me for the time being, I have to see what the condition of this ancient tree is like first. But just as Wei said this, he stretched out his hand towards the ancient tree.
"Get out of him!" But at this moment, a hoarse roar suddenly came from the top of Wei Lai's head, accompanied by a surging blood light that burst down, straight to the top of Wei Lai's head.
Wei Lai's heart was shocked, he didn't dare to be careless, his toes touched the ground at that time, his body jumped up, and he took a few steps back.
Rumble!
There was a muffled sound, and the bloody light slammed into the ground, and then dust flew everywhere.
The white wolf in Wei Lai's hand swallowed the moon, and his spiritual power overflowed, shaking away the dust, and the scene in front of him immediately became clear.
I don't know when a figure appeared in front of the ancient tree, the waist of that figure was a little rickety, and the thin white hair on his head was scattered, scattered indiscriminately. He seemed to feel Wei Lai's gaze at that time, and his lowered head slowly raised......
Thanks to this, Wei Lai also saw the appearance of the person who was killed halfway.
Although the man's eyes were red, and the expression on his face was almost distorted, the first time he saw that face, Wei Lai recognized the other party: "Mr. Wang!"
"You don't want to hurt it!" Wei Lai recognized the other party, but the other party didn't seem to know Wei Lai. He said this in a low and hoarse voice, and his white hair suddenly rose wildly, and blood light like a sharp sword burst out from his body, heading straight for Wei Lai and Ji Huanxi.
The speed of that blood light was extremely fast, and the force of the coercion in it was also quite strong, and it was difficult for Wei Lai's cultivation to react in a short period of time. Ji Huanxi, who was still beside him, was already vigilant, one of her hands stretched out, and the spirit flame was easy for her body to gush out, turning into a flame barrier in front of Wei Lai and her, blocking out all the blood light that burst out.
Wei Lai came back to his senses, and he frowned.
In the many contacts with the old man before, he faintly noticed that the old man was by no means an ordinary person, but he did not feel any malice in the old man, or that the old man was actually kind to him, Wei Lai naturally would not break some of the things hidden by the old man. But he didn't expect that this old man's cultivation was so strong, under his blood-light attack, although the barrier that Ji Huanxi evoked resisted those attacks, the barrier shook violently, and it obviously couldn't support it for a long time.
"Mr. Wang, did you misunderstand something? we are here to find a way to suppress the Yin Dragon and save this ancient tree!" Wei Lai still didn't want to believe that the kind old man would really do something against him, this didn't make sense, after all, the old man in front of him mentioned everything in this Tonglin to him from the beginning, and he was always trying to find a way to solve Tonglin's troubles.
"No, don't lie to me! you are all villains who have been blinded by greed, you all deserve to die!" the old man resolutely denied Wei Lai's statement, and as soon as he said this, the clothes around him suddenly rose, and blood-colored light rose from behind him, covering the sky and the sun and covering the entire space behind him. The red light converged and blended, turning into hideous and distorted human faces, and faintly Wei Lai even heard a terrible wail.
But he still didn't give up, and opened his mouth to say something more.
But Ji Huanxi, who was beside him, stretched out his hand at that time and stopped Wei Lai.
"Childe, don't say it again, it's useless. The woman whispered.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and gave the woman a puzzled look.
"Childe, think about it, the aura that overflowed from the red barrier that stopped us from leaving......"
Wei Lai was shocked when he heard this, he remembered the red enchantment shrouded outside the Tong Forest, at first he thought it was also the Yin Dragon, but at this moment he felt the rippling breath around the old man's body, which was exactly the same as the blood-colored enchantment.
"He's in league with the Yin Dragon. Ji Huanxi also made a conclusion softly at that time.
......
