The little old man didn't care what kind of expression he was, he just paced and knocked on the crutches and walked forward, "I think you were still like a kitten, and you ran up here with your tail in tow, that feel, that well-behaved, but cute." ”

Ji Xiaoran was stunned suddenly, and even Qi Qi was stunned.

He had the impression that he had been in human form since he was a child, although he did come here when he was three or five years old.

Ji Xiaoran didn't expect that Qi Qi's body would be similar to the appearance of Qi Qi, obviously he had always thought that he was half a human and half a tail like Ji Ying.

"Don't you know, after Candle Yin took you away, he settled an account with me, and he almost didn't pull off my beard." The little old man's crutches crackled, "Anyway, I am also the master of symbiosis with heaven and earth, how can I rely on cultivating to be higher than me and disrespect the old man so much?" ”

"That, Senpai." Qi Qi finally spoke, "Qi Qi was still young back then, and some things can no longer be remembered. ”

"That's normal." The little old man looked back with a smile, and with a hoe of the staff, the villain stood directly on the top and let his eyes be level with him, "You have only hatched for less than six months at that time, right?" ”

Both of them were stunned. Ji Xiaoran felt that it was no wonder that he didn't remember, but Qi Qi never thought that he had been here at that time.

Obviously, I can't bear the cold here now.

"But you're also bold, if it weren't for the reverse scales of the candle shade protecting you, I'm afraid you would have frozen to death here." While saying this, the little old man couldn't help but pout, and the mustache swayed from side to side with his movements, "But now I can carry it without the scales, it's still good." ”

He slid off his staff and swung forward hard, "No one has been here since you left. Let's go and have tea with me! ”

The little old man is one of the gatekeepers of the earth realm, and he is the one who truly lives in symbiosis with heaven and earth. Every place where the Styx River flows underground will give birth to such a small gatekeeper, and they are named after the River Styx where they are located.

For example, the little old man in front of him was guarding Danshui, so it was called a Dan character.

With Dan Lao leading the way in front, it is more able to let Qi Qi and Ji Xiaoran see the mystery of the stone bridge with nine twists and turns. Although each step of the little old man seems random, it has a unique direction. Every step down, not only stirred up the purple mist to bloom like lotus flowers, but also according to a certain law.

Only then did Ji Xiaoran faintly see a pier that appeared at intervals under the mist, and it seemed to have the smell of the Big Dipper along the way.

The star position of the Beidou and the water of the Styx River that fell into the ground complement each other and complement each other, constituting this murderous stone bridge.

She pulled Laqi and motioned for him to try to trigger the formation.

A small pebble was thrown backwards to avoid where they had landed. As soon as the stones touched the water of the Styx on both sides of the bridge deck, they rose into the sky and turned into a water curtain, not only the purple river water flew out like sharp arrows, but there were ghosts directly out of the water curtain and pounced on the stones, but because the target was not a living thing, it directly penetrated the target and the bridge deck and fell into the water.

Along with the fall were the water curtains on both sides.

The two of them couldn't help but gasp: if they really walked blindly on the bridge, would they really become a member of the River Styx?

"So you two don't run around randomly." Dan Lao was already there with a smile on his face, "But this bridge is almost there." ”

The fog at the end of the bridge dissipated, revealing the dark earth.

At the moment when they set foot on this land, they were greeted by the sound of the piano like a cry, sad and sorrowful, but it was a hidden intention to kill, just like the people of the world, who sighed at the unsatisfactory life when their lives were dying, and thus made a sad cry.

The sound of this piano whimpered, hitting people's hearts, and all those who heard it couldn't help but sigh that life was unsatisfactory and that God was unfair.

The hero is dying of old age in his twilight years, his ambition is not rewarded, his ambitions are not realized, and he is depressed.

The feeling of death and sorrow arose spontaneously, and the sadness continued to breed and spread in his heart, and just when the dampness had begun to grow in the eyes of the man, Dan Lao slammed his crutch hard. TVmobile/

"Do you greet guests like that?"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the movement of the surrounding Suo Suo had the meaning of a group of beasts scattering.

"Some small tactics of the ghost clan, targeting people who trespass into the realm for no reason, can arouse the deepest sadness and despair in the human heart, thus tempting them to jump into the river on their own." Dan Lao turned around and explained to them, "Those who commit suicide will never be reincarnated, and their souls will become a member of the River Styx." Therefore, even if you are lucky enough to cross the river, you will basically be disposed of here. ”

"Isn't that a little too cruel?" "After all, it's possible that someone strayed here like I did at the time?" ”

"There aren't many bare Styxes, and most of the people who can enter here are intentional."

Dan Lao waved his staff at this moment, and a dead tree grew directly from the ground, quickly opening its branches. There was not a single leaf on the branches, but there was a half-man-high hole in the trunk.

Bending down to enter, Ji Xiaoran experienced the feeling of Snow White entering the dwarf's house back then.

Although the room is not small, it is estimated that the height is enough for two people to stand up straight. With a casual shake, you may hit the occasional bulge on the top.

It was not inhibited to sit on the ground, but the original dwarf had retracted to the ground as soon as he entered, and then two vines swirled out of the ground, and finally formed two discs in front of them.

The only leaf that grew on it fell and rolled into a small cup in mid-air.

Dan Lao sat directly on his cane, and he didn't know where to take out a small wine jug, and the blue and translucent liquid poured out of it, with a refreshing fragrance.

"Last time I gave you this drink, I was blocked by the candle shade, this time you should be able to drink it, right?" Dan Lao poured himself a cup without hesitation, "This thing is good, it is condensed from the soul power collected from the River Styx. ”

Qi Qi looked at the contents of the cup, but he didn't feel anything unusual, and when he saw that Dan Lao had raised his cup to his lips and looked at him, he asked, "Can I drink this kind of thing?" ”

"Of course!" Dan Lao directly reached out and touched the cup with him, "Soul brewing is very good for improving spiritual power, and drinking more is conducive to maintaining one's self in illusion or illusion skills." It's a good thing, and I don't give it to ordinary people. ”

Qi Pi glanced at Ji Xiaoran, but he couldn't get any advice from the other party, so he smiled and said, "Thank you seniors for your hospitality." ”

Tilt your head and drink the liquid from the cup.

The soul brew was cool in the mouth, which made Qi Pi instantly feel that he was a little more conscious, so he grinned at Dan Lao.

The little old man saw that he was nothing unusual, and immediately refilled him with another glass, "Come on, come on, I'll drink a little more with the little old man." ”

It can be seen that the old man is really happy, not only is this soul brew served cup after cup, but the words on his lips are also non-stop.

I thought that it would not be alcohol to make my consciousness clear, but as I drank more and more, I only felt that there was a stimulus in my mind that became more and more painful.
