Chapter 64: The Underworld
readx; Under the eternal gloom of the sky was an endless wasteland, dotted with plants that exuded spiritual power, gray-black leaves, and some fruits of the same color, but they were so hideous that one could not have a single appetite. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There seemed to be a yellow line in the distance, still swaying slightly, it should be a river, and a winding road with no beginning winding towards the yellow line. Walking along the road were people with dull expressions, their hands tied, and the other end was involved in the hands of tall figures on both sides of the road.
There was wind in the air, faint, blowing on the bound people, not even the corners of their clothes, but every gust of wind blew made them involuntarily squint their eyes, and at the same time, the sparkle in their eyes would fade a little, and they looked even more sluggish.
This is the scene that Xiao Ruo saw when he first arrived in the underworld.
There were a number of people standing beside her, none other than the monks who had come with them. And they seem to be very curious about the scene here, and are looking around.
"It seems to be different from what I imagined." No matter what time he didn't forget to shake his fan, the East King commented after observing it.
King Nan withdrew his gaze into the distance: "It's really different, but Huangquan is still there." ”
"That's not Yellow Springs, is it?" The woman surnamed Shen obviously had a different opinion, "It should be Lechuan River." ”
"We'll see how the facts go by. It's just that I really didn't expect that even the yin cha was replaced by a puppet, and it seems that the underworld is really closed. The East King glanced at the tall figures leading the souls on the road and sighed.
The crowd was silent. The underworld has been sealed, and so has the heavenly court, there must be some secrets in this, I don't know if they can reveal it this time.
"So-and-so still has something to do, so I'll leave here." After seeing the surrounding environment, the demon clan Zejun arched his hand at everyone and left with his people. Before leaving, he also gave Xiao Ruo a token with a grimace on it, indicating that he could use this thing to go to him to do something. It surprised Xiao Ruo, this demon clan seems to be pretty good.
Zejun's departure did not surprise everyone, and after him, the woman surnamed Shen also offered her farewell. Then he found someone who took her in the opposite direction from when Zejun left. So, except for the tall and thin man and his team, almost all of the people who stayed here were the people found by the king of the east and the south.
Dongwang seemed a little surprised that the tall and thin man was still here: "Is Zhang Daoyou planning to act with us and the others?" ”
"Zhang has this intention." The tall and thin man said coldly, as if the East King was not asking him just now, but inviting him.
For his reaction, Dongwang was obviously a little puzzled, his brows furrowed, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Xiao Ruo's voice.
"King of the South, King of the East. As I said before, I went to the underworld for another reason, so I can't go with you, so I'm leaving. ”
"You're leaving on your own?" Nan Wang's brows furrowed, and his tone seemed to be a little unhappy.
Xiao Ruo smiled and said, "Of course not." Anthony will walk with me. ”
Glancing at Anthony, who had no other sense of existence except being accepted by Xuanzhong, King Nan said coldly: "This king should have already said that you are not allowed to leave this king for half a step." ”
Hearing these somewhat ambiguous words again, Xiao Ruo was even more speechless, took a deep breath and said: "King Nan loves Xiao Ruo very much, but Xiao Ruo does have other important things to do, and he can't walk with King Nan. I hope that the king of the south will understand. ”
"What are you going to do? Let the king go with him. King Nan waved his hand, and seemed to have plans to leave the team.
Xiao Ruo secretly rolled his eyes, and didn't plan to talk to him more: "It's about me, and I hope that King Nan won't ask about it." Anthony, let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a date later. ”
After speaking. A spatial rift cracked around her. I saw her pull up Anthony beside her, and disappeared into the crack in the blink of an eye, and even the king of the south didn't have time to react.
This scene made King Nan very angry, his eyes were full of anger, and he threw a punch. Bring up boundless waves.
The tall and thin man's eyes flashed, and his right hand, caged in his sleeve, made a few gestures, and then regained his rigid face.
King Dong sighed secretly in his heart, this Xiao Ruo really knows something about the underworld. I hope she and others have the same purpose, otherwise there will be some trouble. Moreover, he was also very strange about the performance of the South King. Although he also knows the character of his colleague, he also knows the characteristics of his exercises. But although Xiao Ruo has a special physique, he is no longer a virgin, and he can still make him value it so much, and I don't know what the reason is.
Of course, Xiao Ruo didn't know what several people thought, and at this time she had already appeared next to the river in the distance.
Letting go of Anthony's hand, Xiao Ruo walked to the river and stared.
She couldn't see it from a distance, but now that she was close, with her eyesight, she couldn't see the other side of the river. But in her senses, the river is actually not wide, and it is indeed a strange thing. From her vantage point, she could see the bridge over the river a mile or two away, it was so narrow that only one person could walk across it, but the other side of the bridge seemed to be hidden in the fog, and it was impossible to see clearly.
A figure could be faintly seen on the side of the bridge, leaning over and holding a large bowl in his hand, thinking that it should be Meng Po. It's just that Xiao Ruo found out that this Meng Po was also a puppet, not a primordial body.
The underworld will really save manpower and use puppets for everything. If this was not the Earth Immortal Realm, Xiao Ruo would even think that this was the future scene described in some science fiction novels on the Azure Star, and everything was done with robots, but it was just a puppet here.
"For so many years, puppets have been used to operate, and this underworld can be regarded as a real existence." Xiao Ruo stood up and looked at the looming opposite shore.
From a distance, the river is yellow. At this time, when I got closer, I found that the color of the river should be earthy yellow, but with a hint of blood. The earthy yellow water of the river was tumbling as if it were boiling. From the tumbling river, Xiao Ruo could see the white bones of Sensen, and couldn't help but guess that this river would not be all white bones.
This is supposed to be the legendary Lethe River, but it is said that the river is full of lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, but as it is now, although the river is as the legend says, it does not hear any sound except the sound of the rolling waves. And there are no lonely ghosts in the river, only some white bones.
Although this is an underworld, it is not so dead and silent.
Xiao Ruo was puzzled, but he didn't hesitate to take out a palm-sized white object, and then threw it into the river, and the object turned into a flat boat, just enough to fit two people.
"Let's go, Anthony." Xiao Ruo greeted his housekeeper and jumped on the boat first.
Anthony answered, and jumped on it, but his heart was still a little throbbing. And the reason is just because Xiao Ruo held his hand just now.
Xiao Ruo didn't know that a simple action would make Anthony think so much, she just didn't dare to communicate with him in advance, so she could only pull him into the spatial crack. She was glad that she was able to get rid of those people smoothly, and the East King and the South King fell second, mainly to get out of the eyes of the tall and thin man.
Although it was not clear what the identity of the male cultivator was, Xiao Ruo's spiritual sense told her that the person was dangerous. If it weren't for her purpose to find Alice's soul, she wouldn't even have opened the dungeon passage.
That man's danger was not only for her, but even for the underworld.
"Miss?"
Summoned back to his senses by Anthony's voice, Xiao Ruo looked up and smiled at him, signaling that he was fine.
"Was this thing refined by Miss before?" Anthony is simply speechless, this boat is not very space, the two of them sit in it, and there is almost no other space. If he didn't say something, he felt that he might have some strange thoughts.
Xiao Ruo nodded, revealing a look of pain: "It was refined before the soul realm was opened, but I didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome, I only have a little bit of the materials I need in total, and the success rate is not high, I have refined such a large boat more than a dozen times before I succeeded, and the space is still so small." If it weren't for the need to use it to cross the Lechuan River, I wouldn't have wasted so many soul silk that I had so hard found to refine this thing. ”
Anthony laughed dumbly. His young lady has always been very confident in refining, but she didn't expect the failure rate to be so high this time, no wonder she was so dissatisfied.
"There are still some subordinates of Thousand Soul Silk, if Miss needs it, you can take it, and her subordinates will also look for it again, Miss doesn't have to worry about it not being enough."
"It doesn't really matter. The soul silk is a relatively remote material, and I also asked for it from my father in advance. But the Thousand Soul Silk is very good for your cultivation, so you can keep it for yourself. ”
The Thousand Soul Silk is very useful for cultivating the primordial spirit, and it is helpful for Anthony's cultivation, so that she will not delay Anthony's cultivation because she wants to refine the magic weapon.
Anthony's heart warmed, and the look in his emerald green eyes became more and more gentle. Being able to see this Wang Qingquan in such a dead and silent environment, Xiao Ruo felt that even his heart was cool.
In other words, the role of the big housekeeper is really not small, and there is even the effect of an artificial environment regulator.
Xiao Ruo secretly complained in his heart, and his mood was inexplicably much better. Although Anthony didn't know the reason, his mood was a little lighter, and even seeing those white bones didn't ruin his good mood.
Although the Lechuan River didn't look wide, it took Xiao Ruo and the two of them nearly three days to pass through. This is still the right way to cross the river, and if they use other methods, whether it is crossing the bridge or using other tools, it will be extremely dangerous.
After crossing the Lethe River, you will arrive at the legendary Yama Temple.
Stepping on the land on the other side of the river, what appeared in front of Xiao Ruo and the two of them was something that looked like a city wall, which made both of them a little curious.
Is there a city in the underworld?
The reason why the underworld has a word for the prefecture is that it is not particularly big in itself, after all, it only deals with the reincarnation of souls, and it is not as tightly organized as the heavenly court, and it has a large permanent population. Most of them are souls, and the rest are only a few underworld priesthoods. Those people shouldn't be able to build a city, right?
