Chapter 40: The River Styx

Nine deep depths, a netherworld.

A long river, pitch black as ink, like a black dragon, tumbling endlessly. No one knows where it came from or where it is going, even the River Styx.

The obscure and dark place has been a place of legend since ancient times, mysterious and abnormal. Not only is it difficult for ordinary people to reach, but even for those who have cultivated to a high level.

There are often rumors in the world that the Yin soldiers crossed the border, starting from the netherworld. There are also people who have died, and the souls of the dead are all attributed to the Netherworld and the like. It's just a lot of rumors, false and true, and in the end, the world doesn't know what the underworld is, and created black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, and ten halls of Yama out of thin air.

However, the rumors are not all false, and this netherworld does exist.

By the River Styx, a figure wrapped in a black robe walked slowly. The face is a little shiny, but I can't make out the appearance. Seeing that he was holding an iron rope in his hand, he leaned into the River Styx. As the tide of the River Styx rises and falls, you can vaguely see objects that look like coffins rising and falling.

After a short walk, the black-robed man stood still, looking at the tumbling Styx, and hesitated for a while. Immediately, the force in his hand sounded, and the sound of iron chains clashing sounded. With a bang, the coffin tied to the other end of the chain burst out of the River Styx. With a thud, it landed in front of the black-robed man.

At this time, I found that the black coffin was a little huge, about a foot long, four feet wide and five feet high. I have to marvel at the strength of the black-robed man.

The black-robed man walked around the giant coffin, uncovered the chains that bound the giant coffin, and slowly pushed the lid open. A little glimmer of light shone in, and when he saw the scene clearly, the person lying in the giant coffin turned out to be Murong Jiayang.

At this time, the black-robed man spoke: "Young master, when the ninety-nine eighty-one day period expires, how are your injuries?" Listening to the tone, it's not who Xu Nian is.

In the giant coffin, Murong Jiayang opened his eyes, the essence in his eyes flashed, and the momentum around his body increased sharply, and he looked like his cultivation had risen sharply. But then it withered. He said weakly: "The injury has almost recovered, but the remnants of the bone jade are like maggots attached to the bones, and they can't be removed." It seems that there is still a wisp of remnant soul mixed into the body. ”

Xu Nian said helplessly: "That bone jade is quite mysterious, and its predecessor seems to have some origins, it must be a great monk in Shenzhou, but I don't know who it is." Now I have tried all kinds of methods, and soaked in the water of the River Styx for nine hundred and eighty-one days, but it still does not work. It's just that if this hidden danger is not removed, it will be very detrimental to your cultivation, and you may break out at some point, endangering your life. ”

Murong Jiayang looked depressed and said, "How should it be good, in this way, isn't it another wasted person?" ”

When Xu Nian heard this, he persuaded: "Don't worry, young master, there are countless capable people in the world, and there are many treasures, and there will always be a solution." ”

After a while, Murong Jiayang said: "It's a big deal, it's a death, the living can't be frightened by the dead." Even if that bone jade has a great origin, it is dead now, and I don't believe it can stir up any storms. Then he said, "In that case, Steward Xu, you should send me back to the master earlier." It's been a few months since I left, and I don't know what kind of disaster Wumao has caused again. ”

Xu Nian smiled weirdly: "I think the young master is not worried about the little bird in Wumao, but misses your senior sister Hsinchu!" ”

When Murong Jiayang heard this, his face turned red, and he defended: "Steward Xu, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm really worried about Wumao getting into trouble!" In my heart, Li Xinzhu's smiling appearance unconsciously appeared, as if it was right in front of me.

Seeing Murong Jiayang wandering, Xu Nian didn't interrupt, took care of himself and secretly had fun, and put away the black giant coffin on the side. He said, "But now is not the time to go back. The land of Styx is not so easy to come by. In the land of Shenzhou today, there should not be many people who know how to enter the land of the Styx, and maybe even if they know, they won't be able to enter. ”

Murong Jiayang came back to his senses, and when he heard Xu Nian say this, he replied disdainfully: "This broken place is not a treasure land of the immortal family. The whole day is dull, and the river water smells fishy, if you don't say soak in it, maybe you can remove the bones and jade, otherwise I would rather die than soak in it. ”

Xu Nian smiled and said, "It's me who underestimated the bones and jade remnants." However, the waters of the River Styx are a rare treasure. Especially for body refining cultivators, refining the body and washing away impurities is indescribable. These days, I think the young master has a deep understanding. ”

Although Murong Jiayang wanted to refute, he had to admit that what Xu Nian said was true. After soaking in the water of the River Styx, my body's strength has increased, but it has not improved rapidly. "Although there is some progress, it is not as exaggerated as you say, and the water of the Styx is just as average."

Xu Qingqing said with a smile: "That's because the young master has a deep foundation and little room for progress, so naturally I can't feel the feeling of rapid progress." If you are an ordinary monk, you can soak it for a few days to achieve the effect of cloud mud. ”

When Murong Jiayang heard this, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "In this way, this Styx water is of little use to me, but to ordinary monks, it is a priceless treasure. In this way, if you collect some more Styx water and sell it in the land of Shenzhou, wouldn't it be a big deal. Hahaha......."

Seeing Murong Jiayang's golden smile in his eyes, Xu Nian stretched out his hand and flicked it on Murong Jiayang's head.

Boom, crisp and loud.

Ouch, Murong Jiayang covered his forehead, looked at Xu Nian with a look of resentment, and said, "Steward Xu, what are you doing." ”

Xu Nian said lightly: "Wake up your daydream." Let me tell you, first, this Styx water, once it leaves the Styx, the effect is greatly reduced, and it is a little better than the ordinary water. Second, if people know that you have the water of the River Styx, what awaits you is endless questioning, hunting and killing, and even the Flowing Cloud View will not be able to protect you. You know, some people are as obsessed with the Netherworld as they are with ascending to the Upper Realm. ”

Murong Jiayang touched his forehead, and said with a grudge: "If you have something to say, you can say it well, why do you want to learn from Senior Sister Li Xinzhu's bad habits." ”

"Hehe, in order to make it memorable."

Murong Jiayang looked at Xu Nian, who was smiling strangely, and resisted the urge to rush up and beat him. Impulsiveness is the devil, this is the conclusion reached after being cleaned up by Xu Nian a few times.

Calming down, Murong Jiayang asked, "Then where are you going now?" ”

Xu Nian looked at the surging water of the Styx, turned to look at the direction of the flow of the Styx, and said, "Naturally, it is deep into the Netherworld. If you are lucky enough to find the Yellow Spring, let you take a dip in the Lethe Pool, and it is not impossible to soar on the spot. Hahaha......"

Looking at Xu Nian's arrogant smile, Murong Jiayang looked unhappy, and just wanted to rush up and slam it on his head, and then said loudly, Wake up your daydream. It's just that the strength is not enough, and you can only suppress the impulse. I said to myself in my heart, Xu Nian, you wait, see if I don't clean you up in the future.

Ache ....., Xu Nian sneezed, looked back at Murong Jiayang with deep meaning, and said lightly: "Cultivate well." ”

Murong Jiayang's face was full of emptiness, and he walked forward quickly.

Hahahaha...... There was a maniacal laugh from behind.
