Chapter 19: The River Patrol General
Du Xuan, under the guidance of Hei Impermanence Zhong Shaoyan, came to the City Lord's Mansion of the Vain Death City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The architecture of the City Lord's Mansion is roughly similar to that of the ancient government offices, except that the stone lions, gates, pillars, etc., which should be ordinary, are all real magic weapons, exuding undisguised mana fluctuations. And the fusion of all kinds of fluctuations has formed an incomparably powerful coercion, which will deter anyone who comes.
In comparison, the bull head and horse face on duty at the door do not look terrible.
With Zhong Shaoyan leading the way, he came to the Hall of Records all the way.
Recording the name here means that in the future, it will be a subordinate god of the city in vain. As for where it is assigned, it is completely up to the individual's wishes. This kind of good thing can only happen in the city of vain.
"What, you chose the gills of the fish?" the transcription judge was taken aback, and the pen almost fell off. He originally thought that with black impermanence by his side, Du Xuan wanted to join the impermanence vein!
"Yes!" Du Xuan replied.
"Are you sure?" the Admissions Judge asked again.
"Sure!" Du Xuan replied again.
The recording judge looked incomprehensible, but he didn't say anything more, and wrote the document for Du Xuan! After writing, he took out a talisman from his body and handed it to Du Xuan along with the document.
"Even if I gave you this amulet, it's up to you in the future!"
Du Xuan read the paperwork, and it was written that he was transferred to the moat and river god to listen to the order. At that time, Du Xuan understood, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Judge, if you need to use me in the future, just ask!"
After leaving the Enrollment Palace, Hei Wuchang Zhong said in a few words, "Brother Du, don't you really think about replacing it? It's still too late to get out of the City Lord's Mansion, but there is really no chance!"
"Thank you, Brother Zhong, I've already decided!" Du Xuan shook his head.
"Then we can only say goodbye to this," Hei Wuchang Zhong said with a wry smile, "I can't go to the place where you want to take office!"
"See you in the city!"
……
The gates of the city of the dead were open, and a wide dusk road stretched into the distance, flanked by fiery red flowers.
This road is Huangquan Road.
As soon as Du Xuan left the city of vain death and stepped on the Huangquan Road, he immediately felt the horror of the natural disasters in the underworld.
The ecstasy black wind roared violently, almost like a substantial tide, wave after wave, squeezing the enchantment formed by the flowers on the other side of the sparkling waves. And above the heavenly dome, the refining heavenly fires of different sizes were like meteors, flying down, smashing on the enchantment with a thumping sound, and the streamers were shining.
Du Xuan, who was walking on the road, couldn't help but be frightened when he saw this, for fear that the flower enchantment on the other side would not be strong and would be broken by two natural disasters. However, the flower enchantment on the other side seems to be transparent and illusory, swaying and rippling, but it is extremely solid, and it is dead to block the natural disaster from the outside, so that Du Xuan will not be harmed in the slightest.
Du Xuan walked briskly across a hundred zhang, and a stone bridge spanned the moat. The river under the bridge is babbling and quiet, almost silent. He knew very well that the river seemed calm, but it was also part of the notoriously treacherous place of the underworld.
The river is the River Styx, also known as the Lethe River, and the river water is three thousand weak water.
There is a record in Journey to the West, "Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers can't float, and reeds sink at the bottom!" With such power, let alone a ghost, even ordinary immortals would not dare to risk their lives.
Du Xuan only glanced at it, and instantly had the idea of throwing himself into the river, as if there was something he had asked for in his life, and the most primitive desire in his heart was difficult to contain.
"Hum—"
The old man urged the fragments of the Book of Life and Death to be shaken, and Du Xuan regained his senses. At this moment, if he hadn't been a ghost, he would have been in a cold sweat.
"It's amazing!" Du Xuan sighed to himself, no longer looked at the river, took out the document from his arms, raised his hand and threw it, turning into a golden light and shooting into the moat.
In a short moment, the river churned——, and an invisible force parted a section of the river and reached the bottom of the river. There is a delicate water palace que, gold and jade inlay, pearl shell embellishment, auspicious light and color, beautiful.
Then, a river water starts from the gate of Shuifu, like a waterfall inverted, to the side of the bridge, and then condenses into a staircase. Seeing this, Du Xuan took out the talisman given by the recording judge and urged it, and a gray and white light curtain enveloped his body, and then without hesitation, he passed through the flower enchantment on the other side and stepped on the weak water ladder.
"Whew-"
The black wind howled, and the protective light curtain rattled. Du Xuan flew down, halfway through, the river on both sides was turbulent and rolled upside down, intersecting in one place, turning into a water curtain and enveloping the dome. The sound of the black wind, no more.
Du Xuan dispersed the protective light curtain that was on the verge of collapse, and stepped into the water mansion.
The main hall of Shuifu is empty, only a fish-headed human body, and a man wearing battle armor sits on the central throne. It was clear that he was the moat god.
"You are Du Xuan?" the river god began.
"Yes!" Du Xuan bowed.
"Very good, in the city of the human race's death, a smart man has finally appeared!" the river god said loudly, "From now on, this god has ordered you to temporarily serve as the general of the river patrol, are you willing?"
"I do!" replied Du Xuan.
"Very good, the side hall on the right side is the inspection hall, you can be familiar with it for a day today, and tomorrow you will take up the managerial position! If you have any questions, you can come and ask me!" The river god waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
"Yes!"
Du Xuan responded and turned into the inspection hall.
The layout here is mostly smaller, and the furnishings are only a jade case and a futon. There were two items placed on the jade case, a command flag and a copper seal, both of which exuded mana fluctuations.
Du Xuan immediately stepped forward to check, the seal was the seal of the general patrolling the river, a high-grade magic weapon, representing the priesthood level from the ninth grade, as well as the authority to patrol the river. He held the Divine Seal in his hand, and his soul power was released and urged, but he was silent, and he did not urge until he switched to the innate true qi of the Thousand Silk Hand True Talisman.
At that moment, the water of the moat seemed to have become the tentacles of his mental power, and the situation in the river and on both sides of the river, although far away in the sky, was also close in front of him. He only felt it for a moment and stopped, there was no way, the mana consumed by this river patrol general seal was too huge. At this time, the effort consumed nearly 20% of the Thousand Silk Hands True Talisman.
The name of the Ling Banner is the River Patrol Flag, but it is only a medium-grade magic weapon, but there are four runes on it, representing the four major spells of resisting water, splitting waves, urging waves, and water escape. In comparison, Du Xuan felt that this river patrol flag was more useful to him.
After roughly urging the rehearsal of the river patrol flag, Du Xuan walked to the apse, where there was only one bed, nothing else, obviously a place for him to sleep. When he first came to this kind of place, Du Xuan's heart was full of excitement, where did he have the mind to rest, when he left the inspection hall and went to other places in Shuifu to familiarize himself.
