Chapter Twenty-Six: The Green Underworld Road is in Distress

The ferryman rowed his boat down the gloomy Styx. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

There was no light, no wind or waves over the River Styx, as quiet as the sound of an hourglass in the night.

Wei Wuzi seemed to can't stand this extreme silence and wants to break this calm by calling for life. only to find that there is no echo on the River Styx.

The ferryman's eerie smile decorates the horror, but the horror makes people more serene.

"Hey! Old man, what are you always laughing at? Wei Wuzi felt uncomfortable when he saw that the ferryman was always smiling strangely.

The ferryman said as he waved: "Old man, I was born with a smiling face, there is no way." ”

Qingyun heard the ferryman say the word "born", and thought: Isn't this old man a spirit? So he looked at him and asked, "Excuse me, how did you come to the underworld?" And how did he become the ferryman of the River Styx? ”

The ferryman smiled and said, "Life and death, death and life, where is the heart?" Only those who are destined to cross. Overcome the suffering, and prove Bodhi. ”

Qingyun listened to the ferryman talk a few words about life and death, but he also had a little spiritual understanding, but he couldn't say it, so he looked at the River Styx stupidly for a long time.

The ferryman looked at Qingyun thoughtfully, looked at him and smiled and stopped talking.

Seeing that the center was approaching, Qingyun took out the dungeon token and prepared to throw it into the River Styx. The ferryman looked at the token and smiled, and said, "No matter what, how can you cross your heart without going through life and death?" As he spoke, he disappeared.

Qingyun and Wei Wuzi panicked, hurriedly stood up and looked around, there was only the vast water of the Styx River in front of them, not the edge in front and the edge in the back, mighty and muddy.

At this moment, a biting yin wind blew, and there was a violent jolting and shaking under his feet, and the hull of the empty ship seemed to be broken, knocking Qingyun and Wei Wuzi into the Styx.

The moment he touched the water of the River Styx, Qingyun felt as if he had been washed: the pain of flesh and bones peeling off instantly spread throughout his body, and his internal organs seemed to be soaked in ice and washed back and forth. Qingyun thought to herself: Perhaps, this is the feeling that life is better than death.

It hurts to the bone, I don't know how long it took, Qingyun felt that his mind became clearer, and he felt that he had entered a world of emptiness and dust. The Buddha sat beside the incense table, his eyes closed, knocking on the wooden fish. The sound of the wooden fish on the ground passed through the ear drum and woke up Qingyun's dusty dream. Two lines of words flashed vaguely on both sides of the Buddha: Hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha!

Qingyun thought to himself: Could this be the Jizo Bodhisattva? Qingyun cultivated immortals, and he was confident, but when he saw the rumored Jizo, he also felt that his soul was purified. So he folded his hands together as a sign of devotion.

"Qingyun, are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time! The Bodhisattva did not open his eyes, but called out Qingyun's name.

Qingyun knew the Bodhisattva's supernatural powers, bowed and bowed: "I don't know what the Bodhisattva has to teach?" ”

The Bodhisattva's face did not change, and he said softly, "Very good, very good. You are also me, I am also you, how can you and I teach? Come on, come on, I'll light a light with you! ”

Qingyun approached the Bodhisattva, thinking about what the Bodhisattva said, and his heart was full of doubts.

The Bodhisattva stretched out his index finger and lightly touched it in the Qingyun Seal Hall, only to feel a powerful aura entering his body. With the strength of the aura, Qingyun gradually felt that he could not support it, he struggled, gasped, and woke up with a "whew". When I woke up, I felt more conscious, and I had more memories in my heart.

In my memory, I turned out to be a monk, chanting scriptures with a pure heart in a small deserted temple, day after day, year after year, and I actually cultivated the unity of heart and matter, everything is light, and the world seems to be in my heart. There is a dim green light next to it, accompanying him day and night. The wick of the green lantern shimmered wonderfully, as if it was pouring out his thoughts.

The wick was in a trance, flashing a woman's smiling face, like the heart of a piano. Qingyun thought to herself: No wonder I always feel that I have a long-cherished relationship with Qin Xin, it turns out that she is the wick that accompanies her? I can't help but feel a little more good for her.

Suddenly, in my memory, a fire burned, and I was surrounded by a sea of fire, followed by wheezing, struggling, and the lone lamp that accompanied me to ashes in the sea of fire.

The pain was not over yet, and the sound of soul calming sounded in the memory, and Qingyun woke up. Only then did he realize that he was curled up and lying in an open place, above which was a dark and dark dome, and the light that came out of nowhere, added a little chill to the darkness.

Qingyun followed his breath and looked out, only to see that Wei Wuzi had not woken up yet, so he hurriedly checked his pulse.

Feeling that Wei Wuzi's heart pulse was frowning and slowing, Qingyun used the Yunxia Heart Method to protect his pulse. Slowly, Wei Wuzi woke up and said weakly, "Ah! Big brother, are we dead? ”

"Your life is big, the Immortal Lord doesn't dare to accept you!" Qingyun also said teasingly.

Hearing the mention of the Immortal King, Wei Wuzi sat up and asked, "What's the matter, it's at the bottom of the Styx?" ”

Qingyun pouted to the right, motioning for him to see for himself.

Wei Wuzi looked at it, and saw a narrow path in front of him, the road surface was suspended black and black stones, there were no net guardrails on both sides, and the front was dim and dark with no end in sight, and he couldn't help but shiver in his heart.

When he was afraid, Wei Wuzi thought of Li An and asked, "Huh? What about Ang Lee? ”

Qingyun didn't pay attention to Ang Li either. The two looked around and found that it was empty, and there was no sign of Ang Lee.

It turned out that Ang Lee was in the same situation as Pianpian, his body had just touched the water of the River Styx, and he didn't know what force pulled him away and disappeared.

Qingyun stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Wei Wuzi, and said, "Let's go." ”

Li An stood up reluctantly and followed Qingyun slowly.

Walking to the side of the narrow road, Qingyun probe looked down. I can't see anything under the narrow road, it should be an abyss.

Qingyun settled down and walked onto the black stone road. Wei Wuzi was trembling at first and didn't dare to leave, but then when he saw Qingyun walking away, he was scared alone, so he had to come over.

As the two of them walked, there was a faint sound of wailing and crying under their feet, and there was also a sound of "fluttering and flapping" like flapping wings overhead.

Realizing the danger, Qing Yun half-crouched down and took out his sword, looking left and right and walking forward.

At the critical moment, Wei Wuzi also put away his timidity, he turned around, back to back with Qingyun, holding a giant guard behind.

Suddenly, the black stone pavement under Wei Wuzi's feet was broken with a "clang", and a pair of black claws stretched out. Wei Wuzi was dragged down in one stumble.

Qingyun had a premonition, turned around sharply, grabbed Wei Wuzi tightly with his right hand, and turned around under the narrow road with his left hand with the sword of intent, only to hear a few roars, and then splashed up a few drops of black and thick fishy liquid. Qingyun urged the internal force and pulled Wei Wuzi up.

The two of them were still gasping, and something seemed to be flying above their heads, and several pairs of sharp claws rushed towards Qingyun. The two hurriedly raised their swords to parry. There were a few loud noises under their feet, and several pairs of black claws dragged the two of them down.

Qingyun hurriedly reached out to grab the road, but the road was too slippery to grasp, and he only felt that he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, falling down in a flutter.

At this time, a few roars swept by, and Qingyun smelled a strange fragrance, a very familiar fragrance. Then I felt hugged tightly, and flew to a cool and cool place, where a faint and gentle light shone out,

With this ghostly light, Qingyun looked around. It turned out to be a large hall, and the main hall was surrounded by black stones. One side of the stone wall is covered with various bone ornaments, including human bones, and one side is covered with fiery red flowers, Qingyun knows, that is the other side of the flower, Huangquan Road is more.

Qingyun looked at the person who saved him. It was a woman, dressed in a long purple and black dress, with a veil on her face, purple and beautiful hair, and a pair of big eyes that seemed to have been seen somewhere, especially the fragrance on her body was so familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was.

Qingyun clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "Thank you for saving your life, you won't forget it." ”

The woman's eyes crooked and smiled, looked Qingyun up and down, and asked faintly, "Don't you want to live?" Dare to come to the underworld? ”

Qingyun heard the woman's voice, it seemed that she had heard it somewhere, and she couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Dare to ask who the chivalrous girl is?" Do you and I know each other? ”

The woman smiled and said, "Well! You'll know sooner or later. But now, I can't tell you. ”

Qingyun apologized, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being here," and then asked, "I wonder where the brother who came with me is now?" ”

The woman looked at him coldly and said, "You can't protect yourself, and you're still thinking about others?" I see you're really living to the end. ”

Hearing this, Qingyun stirred up a wave of enthusiasm and said, "Even if you don't care about your partners, how can you be in the world?" ”

The woman looked at Qingyun and didn't answer, there seemed to be a kind of eagerness and care in her eyes, and she couldn't feel comfortable seeing Qingyun.

"Okay, I'll go find him." Qingyun ignored the woman, turned around and walked outside the hall.

As soon as he walked to the door, Qingyun was pulled by the woman. I saw the woman walk quickly in front of Qingyun, her hands danced up and down, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, others can't see you." ”

It turned out that a few people were walking slowly outside the hall, and when they saw the face of the leader, they startled Qingyun.

The person who came was Yi Zhuge , I saw him walking slowly with a feather fan in his hand, but when he saw the woman, he also bowed slightly, and said: "Your Highness is so Yaxing, you don't know anything about such a big event happening outside?" ”

Qingyun heard Yi Zhuge call Her Royal Highness the woman, and thought: Could it be that this woman is the Immortal Monarch? No, if it were the Immortal Monarch, I wouldn't have such a familiar feeling. Could it be the daughter of the Immortal? It's not right, there are no rumors in the outside world that the Immortal King has a daughter. Could it be the Immortal Lord's subordinates? Well, no matter who it is, it must be someone from the underworld.

The woman remained silent and asked softly, "I don't know what the master said?" also give the next chance, so that there is a chance to make meritorious service in front of the king. ”

When Qingyun heard this, he guessed that Yi Zhuge and the woman were the left and right protectors of the Immortal Monarch. His Royal Highness the Shadow Hall and the Lord of Zhuge Tai.

Listening to the woman's words, Yi Zhuge smiled and said, "How can this little matter be used by His Royal Highness, it's just a little thief who broke into the underworld, and I, Zhuge Tai, can still handle it." ”

After speaking, Yi Zhuge seemed to smell something, pouted his nose and walked in the direction of Qingyun, sniffing as he went.

Qingyun hurriedly retreated.

The woman scolded: "Be bold and easy to do anything in my Shadow Palace." ”

Yi Zhuge was still smiling, looked at the woman, and said to his entourage: "Okay, let's not disturb His Highness's Qing Xiu, let's go." Hahaha! ”

Yi Zhuge went all the way, the laughter gradually faded away, and the voice of neither men nor women was creepy.
