Chapter 36: The Aglon River of the Underworld
As soon as he stepped into the underworld, Nanshan couldn't help but shudder. As the final destination of all kinds of yin spirits, the underworld is naturally a place where yin qi gathers, and there is no sunlight in the underworld, so it is cold and abnormal all year round.
"Be careful, don't catch a cold."
Dong Li hurriedly took out a fox fur to help Nanshan put it on, and was about to say two more words, but Nanshan had already run away happily, as if he saw something interesting in front of him.
"Hee-hee, little bunny."
Nanshan tilted his head, and there was a rabbit more than two people tall parked in front of him, but he didn't seem to be too afraid of people, but his red eyes looked unusually vigilant. Just as he was about to reach out and touch the fluffy white fur on the rabbit's body, who knew that the rabbit suddenly opened its big mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and was about to bite down on Nanshan.
"Ding."
A flying sword came over in time, the rabbit's teeth rattled and bit the sword, and most of the fangs in the mouth fell out, and the white rabbit didn't seem to feel any pain, but it looked like he was a little puzzled, tilting his head and staring at Nanshan's eyes, motionless.
"This is not a rabbit in the human world, it is transformed by the resentment floating in the underworld, and all living creatures that come close to it will be eaten by its resentment."
Dongli took two steps forward, wanting to reach out and pull Nanshan back.
The rabbit's blood-red eyes moved its gaze and looked at the east fence standing behind Nanshan, who knows, its huge body involuntarily shook twice, took a few steps back, suddenly turned around and ran, spread its legs and ran away in a blink of an eye.
"Sure enough, the majesty has not diminished back then, and it only takes one glance to scare the big rabbit away, Xiaoxian admires it, and Xiaoxian is convinced!"
Qingyue slapped his face sourly, and said teasingly.
Dong Liang ignored him and continued to walk forward, but who knew that a few people had not gone far, and saw a big rabbit in the distance.
This one is smaller than the previous one, with snow-white fur, and in the glowing light of the underworld, it looks like a jade rabbit statue carved from white jade.
Nanshan grinned and quietly stuck up from behind the rabbit, this time she made her hands and feet, gathered the fairy power in the palm of her hand, and slowly stroked the rabbit's fluffy back.
Dong Li stood aside, saw Nanshan's small action, smiled, and didn't step forward, just watched quietly. At this time, the rabbit turned around with a pair of red eyes, and his body moved a little awkwardly twice, seeing that he was getting closer to Nanshan.
"This beast knows some tricks."
Dongli secretly operated the immortal power, and he thought that if Nanshan really got into the trap, he still had to save the scene quickly.
"Little Bunny, come back to Xianling Mountain with me......"
Nanshan buried his face between the rabbit's variegated white hair, "Senior Sister Xiaohua, you come too, this rabbit is so warm." ”
As he spoke, the fox fur that Nanshan was wearing slipped down in response, and his body hugged the rabbit tighter.
And Bai Xiaohua and Bai Miao entered the underworld earlier, and at this time, the two had not replied to Dongli, and they did not walk with them.
"Wow...... Senior Sister Xiaohua, you are so warm. ”
Nanshan put both hands into the rabbit's fluff, if it weren't for the huge size of the rabbit, I'm afraid she would have picked up the rabbit directly.
Dong Li saw the intoxicated smile on Nanshan's face, and when he heard her speak, he didn't have the same head as the horse's mouth, and his brows furrowed.
Sure enough, he still had to come to the rescue.
"Nanshan! Loosen. ”
Dongli shouted an order, but Nanshan didn't seem to hear it, and his whole body seemed to be squeezed into the white hair of the rabbit, and he didn't intend to let go at all.
"This evil beast is not shallow, I will come, I will come."
Qing Yue stopped the immortal power that Dong Liang waved out of his hand, ran forward in two steps, and slapped a small cyan ball in his hand, which shot to the back of the rabbit's head, and suddenly the rabbit's whole body trembled, and opened a huge bloody mouth, revealing rows of Senran teeth, and after a little counting, there were as many as sixteen rows.
"The resentment is very dense, this rabbit has devoured a lot of his own kind."
Qing Yue twisted his three fingers, the void pointed a few directions, and the bluestone circled around the rabbit's head, rushing into the back of the rabbit's head.
"Buzz."
The rabbit instantly dispersed into a cloud of black mist, churning and trying to drill into Nanshan's body, and the bluestone suddenly dissipated into a cloud of green smoke, enveloping the black mist in it and slowly devouring it clean.
Then, the green smoke gathered into bluestone and fell to the ground, rolling to Qingyue's feet.
Qing Yue picked it up, put it an inch in front of Nanshan's forehead, and with a slight touch, the bluestone sucked out a few wisps of black mist in Nanshan's body, and the surface of the stone turned from blue to black, and finally shattered with a bang, floating into the dark sky, and became countless bright stars.
Nanshan blinked his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and used his hand to catch the fine starlight in a daze, and suddenly turned his head and asked Dongli, "Isn't this underworld devoid of sun, moon and stars?" ”
Dong Liang went up and patted Nanshan's head, "In the future, don't approach those unknown things." ”
Although on the surface, he still maintained his usual seriousness and coldness, Qing Yue saw that his perennially frowning brows and eyes stretched a little, and what was revealed in the depths of his eyes was an indescribable emotion.
They came back to the underworld this time, Nanshan was only a senior brother with a good heart, and he helped Meng Yi to find the demon queen Niangniang, this coke broke her, and she didn't sleep all night excitedly, and she waited at the gate of the mountain early, waiting for them.
The cold dry road was coming to an end, and a wide and boundless water appeared in front of the three of them, the water was steaming with a hint of coldness, and the undercurrent was surging, and the ghostly light was dotted, and through the not clear water, the undead at the bottom of the river could be seen constantly screaming and wailing.
The Agron River is the only waterway leading to the underworld, and every once in a while, the Netherworld will throw some human souls who did not respect the gods of heaven and earth into this Agron River, and suffer drowning for eternity.
"Hey! Look! A place of dark green light over there, could it be a big city in the underworld? ”
Nanshan opened his eyes, crossed the wide river, and saw the lights in the distance, bursts of ghostly energy, although it was eerie and terrifying, but it was another lively.
"Come on! The second senior brother will give you a ride. ”
Qing Yue said and showed his flying sword, and just wanted to fly up with Nanshan, when a loud reprimand came from the river.
"Never!"
The rebuke echoed for a long time, and it actually showed a bit of an ethereal feeling under the vast space.
And the east fence next to him also hurriedly stopped them, and said to Qingyue, "On the Aglon River, the feathers do not float, the gods and demons are destroyed, even I am not confident that I can fly over the river intact, what can you do!" ”
Qing Yue was stunned for a moment, and secretly complained to himself in his heart, just thinking about bringing Nanshan to be happy just now, he actually forgot the power of the Agron River for a while.
This Agron River is different from the Huansha Lake they encountered before, the Huansha Lake will not hurt people, but will only throw people back to the shore with the waves, and the Agron River is together with the Rakshasa Sea on the edge of the divine realm, which is called the "Jedi River and Sea" by the Five Realms, whether it is a living creature or a ghost, once it falls into the Agron River, even if it is driven by the Hades God, it is powerless to rescue it.
It is said that the former creator god killed an evil dragon that crawled out of the cracks in the earth, and the body of the black-scaled dragon was like a continuous mountain range, extremely long, and the mouth was full of poisonous mist, and once everything in the world touched, it would turn into a puddle of rotten water.
After fighting with it for a full hundred and forty days, he finally defeated it, and then, the body of the evil dragon was hung upside down in the firmament of the underworld, and it took eight hundred years to let go of the poisonous blood of the evil dragon, and the creator god cut through the palm of his hand, and used his own blood to purify the poisonous blood, and thousands of years later, around the underworld, this endless and terrifying Akron River was slowly formed.
It can be said that the Agron River is a natural barrier to the underworld, both to prevent unrelated people from outside from coming to cause trouble, and to stop the souls of the dead who want to flee without permission.
"Are you going to cross the river?" It was the person who asked the question, who scolded Qingyue, "On this Agron River, the only thing that can float up is the boat under the old man's body." ”
I saw a white-haired old man standing in a small boat, holding a thick bamboo pole in one hand and wearing a hat on his head, like a boatman's dress.
Dong Liang nodded, took a step towards the bow of the boat, hovered his feet leisurely above the boat, and smiled at the boatman, "Old man, how much should I pay for crossing the river in your boat?" ”
There is a boat on the Agron River, and if you don't bring a boat, you don't come forward, if you attract the anger of the boatman, Hugh will add a dead soul to the river.
This capitation fee is the money for the ferrymen on the Agron River, and these boatmen will collect money one by one when the boats reach the middle of the river, and if they do not give it, or give less, they will be beaten into the Agron River by the boatmen, and they will suffer from drowning for eternity with the souls of the dead.
"Huh? The...... Uh, a few of them don't look like newly deceased people," the boatman saw at a glance that they didn't look like ordinary dead souls, but he didn't dare to call them casually, his eyes rolled, and he smiled, "Presumably a few of them are knowledgeable, old man, I only charge five hundred dark coins, how about it?" ”
He had been on the river for the longest time, and at this time, with experience and guess, he secretly told himself that the three people in front of him would never be easy to mess with.
"Okay, we're on this boat." Dong Li put his feet on the boat, and the four of them came up one after another, and suddenly the boat was full, and the boatman poked lightly on the embankment with a bamboo pole, and the boat went towards the middle of the river.
