Chapter 8 None of them can ask for anything
When I came to the old place by the Lethe River, I saw a slender figure, already sitting on the edge of the Lethe River, his black hair flying behind him, like a spirit butterfly in the underworld.
I stepped forward, sat down beside him, and reached out to take the jar he had handed over.
Patting open the mud seal, the aroma of wine rushed to my nose, I didn't say a word and took a big sip of the wine jar, the entrance was spicy and straight to the heart, like a fire burning.
Put down the wine jar, wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but praise, "Good wine." β
Hades turned his head to look at me, his eyes were different, one was an ordinary ink, and the other eye had a complex formation, which looked very weird.
"The matter of She Array has been dealt with?" Hades asked.
I nodded, looked at the struggling soul in the Lethe River in front of me, and said, "I let go of a corpse, and in a hundred years he will come to the underworld to find me, and don't forget it when the time comes." β
Hades didn't ask any more about the specifics, but changed the subject, "Is there a goal next?" β
I took another sip and was silent.
"Then take a break." Hades continued, "It's not good for you to be in the yang world all the time. β
A jar of wine was quickly drunk by me, and I became a little drunk, and pointed to a spirit in the Lechuan River and said, "He has struggled in this Lethe River for a hundred years, but he has walked a hundred meters forward, why does he continue to struggle?" β
Instead of looking at the soul I was referring to, Hades looked at me, at my drunken and hazy face, and his voice was emptier than the wind in this underworld, "People live in the world, they are all struggling, people die as souls, and they are still struggling, do you know why?" β
I shook my head, I really didn't know what I was struggling for.
"Because all men in the world are greedy, and they all ask for nothing." Hades took back the empty jar of wine in my hand, and his hand was hot, for he was alive unlike me.
"I can't ask for anything!" I said with a wry smile and staggered to my feet, right on the banks of the Lethe River, whose water wet the upper of my shoes.
Keeping his senses up, he said, "I'm drunk, so I'll go back first." β
Hades didn't get up, he looked up at me, the formation in his eyes flickered, and he instructed, "Be careful all the way." β
I turned around to leave, and the next moment I was dragged by the ankles of the spirits in the Lethe River into the Lethe River.
The moment I fell into the Lechuan River, I came to my senses, looking at the blood-yellow river, the dense souls in front of me, they were pressed under the body by other souls, trampled on the soles of their feet, trampled to pieces, not human, but they were still struggling desperately, desperately trying to pull down the souls on their bodies and around them.
The waters of the Lethe River gradually corroded me, and I felt that the strength of my soul was getting weaker and weaker, and I began to struggle upwards like any other soul, even if I had to pull down other souls.
But no matter how hard I tried, more and more souls rushed towards me, biting at me, and for them, I should be a great supplement.
As far as the eye could see, the spirits were biting at me, and they were tightly surrounding me, and there was not a single gap, and they bit off my legs, my hands, and tore off my hair, like my throat.
At that moment, I only prayed that I would not forget what I was struggling for, and that when I struggled ashore in this Lethe River thousands of years later, Hades would still remember our agreement.
My consciousness began to blur more and more, and the blood-colored water burrowed into my mouth and nose, forcing me to close my eyes.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... The moment I closed my eyes, I was suddenly lifted up, and I hung in the air and coughed violently until I finally vomited.......
"Qin Su!" Hades' empty voice reached my ears, and I tried to turn my head with the last of my strength, but I found that my head was drooping and I couldn't lift it.
I tried to lift my hand to lift my head, but when I reached out, I saw only a bare half of my arm.
Then I remembered that my hand had been bitten off and my neck had been broken.
In the end, he could only respond weakly, but the bitten throat couldn't make a sound.
Hades flew towards his palace with my arms and legs in his arms, half of his sleeves soaking wet and blood yellow water lying down.
Hades's speed was fast, and in an instant, he arrived at the palace where he lived, walked towards the side hall, and pushed open the heavy huge door.
The sound of "squeak" sounded in this empty palace, with echoes.
I felt a chill in my back, followed by a thick chill that drilled into my body.
Hades straightened my head, and I could see where I was.
The walls and roofs of black boulders, ghostly fires falling in four directions, and a bed of ice are all the equipment in this side hall.
The bottom of the ice bed leads directly to the Nine Shadows, and the yin qi is the heaviest, and what enters my body after being purified by the ice bed is pure and harmless yin qi.
Gradually, my body recovered, though not as fast.
"You have a good rest here." Hades looked at me and asked.
I blinked my eyelids to show that I understood.
Hades then walked out of the side hall and towards his utility room, and through the wide and dark passage, Hades pushed open the door of the utility room.
With another squeak, Hades walked in, spreading his hands and holding a beam of ghost fire, illuminating the things in front of him.
The utility room is very large, and all kinds of things are neatly sorted and placed on the shelves, but judging from the dust falling from it, Hades should not come here very often.
Hades followed his memory and walked towards the shelf marked "Lethe River".
The first half of the shelf was full of books about the Lethe River, and Hades stood in front of the shelf, looking back carefully one by one, and after skimming more than a dozen books, Hades raised his abnormal hands that were white because he always did not see the sun.
Take down the ancient book titled, "Yi Lethe River".
I dusted off the cover with my hand and turned the first page, which was a painting in which the river was rushing endlessly, and the soul was faintly visible.
Hades turned to the next page again, and it was written with silver hooks on it, "Lethe" with two small characters, "Mad Doctor." β
The first half of the book is devoted to the life of the Lethe River and the author, and the second half is devoted to the healing of wounds caused by the waters of the Lethe River.
Hades raised the ghost fire in his hand so that he could see more clearly.
A pair of different eyes looked at the words on the book seriously, "If there is a ** person, who is corroded by the water of the Lechuan River, according to Yan zhΓ²ng Cheng dΓΉ, it is necessary in turn, peeling, peeling, and deboning." If there is a strong force, it can be regenerated after this. β
Hades' expression did not fluctuate, he closed the book and put it back in its original place.
