Chapter 593: Styx
Unlike what was imagined, the River Styx did not have the countless skulls floating on the surface of the river.
Nor are there desperate spirits that flood the river,
It's a big river that doesn't remark.
The river is wide and calm, and the current is dull grayish-black, and although it is difficult to see how deep the river is, it always gives the impression that "if you fall down, you will never be able to float up".
"This is the River Styx."
Fury strode ahead, came to the river, bowed down, scooped up a handful of river water, and washed his hands.
"The waters of the River Styx, formed by the tears of criminals serving hard labor in hell, are supposed to be a mystical substance of extremely high quality,"
The witch raised an eyebrow, "Tell him what he's doing?" ”
"Uh..."
The mule stood next to him and asked carefully, "Mr. Fury, I remember that the River Styx was formed from soul tears, right?"
Can this water be used to wash my hands? ”
"Of course you can."
Fury stood up, shook his hands, and said as a matter of course, "The theory that the Styx was formed by the accumulation of tears is artificially made.
Think about how many tears it takes to have a river,
Even if all the human souls of the past and present are piled together and watched the bitter and sadistic dramas together, they can't save it, not to mention that some of the human souls are hard-hearted. ”
The mule asked, "What is this river?"
"Water leaking from the ceiling,"
Fury said calmly: "The top of Paradise Mountain can communicate with the real world,
Five dinosaur lords 60 million years ago,
A spring was dug in the sky, borrowing seawater from the Pacific Ocean in the real world to form the River Styx around Hades, providing water for life and production for all beings in Hades.
Because of the subtle differences between the planes, the water of the underworld is indeed much lighter than that of the yang world, and some unknown souls rush to set foot in it, and it is easy to sink.
For a long time, the river has been drifting with a terrifying wail. ”
"Wailing?"
The mule listened for a while, but did not hear any wailing, and wondered, "Why not..."
"That's because the River Styx has been governed."
Fury shrugged his shoulders and said, "Decades ago, this was still a dirty river, the river was extremely eutrophicated, and there were half-dead souls floating everywhere.
Stumps and severed arms caused by war,
and waste discharged from unscrupulous factories upstream and downstream.
The wailing was incessant, the stench was monstrous, suffocating,
In the end, even the warlords in the upper and lower reaches of the River Styx couldn't stand it anymore and made a temporary truce.
Dozens of benthic devilfish were brought in from the dark regions of purgatory, released into the River Styx, and let them eat garbage - they can digest anything in the world,
The water quality of the River Styx is slowly improving. ”
Fury looked at the sparkling river and said with heartfelt emotion: "Gold and silver mountains are not as good as green waters and green mountains." ”
“... Why does this sentence sound like a rich mantra? ”
The black Trojan couldn't help but complain.
"The real slot should be that even the underworld has to face serious environmental governance problems."
Li Ang said calmly: "It's really realistic." ”
It's a pity that he is in a projection state at the moment, otherwise he would have to find a way to get a few so-called benthic demon fish from the river to take a look.
This is a mythical-level script world, good things are everywhere, but you can't take any of them away.
The mule pretended not to hear his companion's complaints, and hesitated to ask Fury, "Uh, so are we going to cross the river?" ”
"Hmm."
The bald black man nodded and said, "Normally, all living souls, including humans, will be based on their species and location.
were assigned to different gates, the same gate we just crossed,
They had to wait in long queues for the ferrymen of the River Styx.
However, in view of the fact that you are a noble person for a thousand years, we have specially cleared a VIP channel to welcome you.
If you had walked through the normal city gates, the road would have been filled with wailing and screaming human souls. ”
Fury paused and added, "Arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, jade hope,
The soul with a heavy mind before death will change into a strange appearance in the world of Hades.
I don't think you want to see those deformed monsters. ”
“...”
The mule smacked his lips and asked hesitantly, "Then you and I, Mr. Fury, are you the ones who didn't have any hope in your life?" ”
"Haha, not necessarily."
A hearty smile appeared on Fury's face, "Some of the deformed features of the soul are not revealed on the outside,
Other spirits who have stayed in Hades long enough have also learned to hide their deformed appearances.
As a saint, you must be fine,
As for me...
I guess I also had some kind of strong long-cherished wish when I was alive, but it took so long to die that even I forgot what my long-cherished wish was. ”
Fury shook his head with some regret and looked at the river, "Hmm... Calculate the time, Charon should be coming soon. ”
