Chapter 494: Styx (1)
"Poof" two soft sounds, and the two figures fell into a deep pool under the deep cliff, causing a splash in the sky.
After a long time, Xiling Blue's head came out of the pool water, and the crystal water droplets slid down the face, reflecting the skylight, like a pearl dyed, clear and beautiful.
Not far from her, Xi Wufuzi also got out of the water, and at a glance saw the appearance of Xiling Blue Clear Water out of Hibiscus, his eyes flashed, and he was a little distracted, but he immediately returned to normal, but instead wiped a handful of water on his face with a calm expression, and beckoned her: "Let's go ashore first." ”
The two of them crossed the water, flew over the water in a few vertical leaps, and found a large clean and plain rock as a place to stay.
Xiling Lan used the light skill of the water surface of the horizontal wave and the shadow, and arrived at the shore faster than Mr. Xiwu, which immediately attracted the eyes of Xiwu Fuzi, this kind of exquisite kung fu, he saw it for the first time, and the unconscious appreciation in his eyes was even worse.
"Xiling Blue, that's good! This light skill is stronger than that of the teacher! ”
"I'm better than you except for medicine, right?" Xiling Lan is not ashamed.
"Cut!"
The tension of encountering the current mechanism was dispelled a little by a gag.
Now the two of them were drenched in water and uncomfortable, and while they were steaming their clothes quickly, they looked at the surrounding environment.
In front of you is a big grotto, high overhead, the mountain wall exposes a few gaps, the sky light is sprinkled from here, falls on the stone wall, the stone wall is cleverly inlaid with several huge silver mirrors at a certain regular angle, the sky light is sprinkled on the silver mirror, after refraction from various angles, about one-third of the grotto is as bright as day.
Xiling Lan sighed at the whimsical ideas of the ancients, and it was really admirable that he could use its light refraction to improve the light sensitivity.
In the bright light, the place near Xiling Blue is unobstructed, the turbulent water jumps down, forming a waterfall ten zhang high, the water vapor is transpiring and diffuse, in mid-air, the junction of water vapor and light, forming a small rainbow, across both sides of the dark river.
Although the sound of the water is deafening, and the surrounding walls are bare and bald, without a little plant embellishment, this scene still makes Xi Wufuzi greatly appreciated, and keeps admiring: "Fairyland on earth, ingenious workmanship, fairyland!" ”
Under the rainbow, the deep dark river, the hideous rocks, and most of the grottoes that went forward along the dark river and hid in the darkness, except for the roaring sound of water, this grotto was quiet and abnormal, and there was no sign of any living creatures, which made Xiling Lan can't help but raise his vigilance a little.
After falling into the deep pool under the waterfall, the dark river water became gentle and silent, flowing quietly, and all the light seemed to be swallowed up after spilling on the surface of the river, and the darkness was bottomless, and after seeing it for a long time, people's minds felt like they were going to be sucked away by the dark river.
Xiwu grabbed Xiling Lan and shouted: "Don't look at the water!" ”
Xiling Lan saw that Xiwu's face was grim, and there was actually a trace of fear in his eyes, and his heart suddenly rose: "Is there a problem with the river?" ”
Xiwu nodded, his tone was very heavy, and he was a little shocked: "If I'm not mistaken, this river is the legendary Styx water." ”
"Master, we were just washed down by the water from a height of ten feet, and we didn't lose a single hair, why did we have anything to do with the River Styx? Is that how you want to die? ”
Xi Wu frowned, with a look of unknowledgeable expression: "The so-called Styx River is not your so-called Lethe River in the underworld, but the water that flows from the worst place of yang to the coldest place through nine turns, this water turns from yang to yin, representing life from life to death, the most gloomy, this water can swallow all things......"
Hearing this, Xiling Lan interrupted Xiwu's words: "If this water is the River Styx and can swallow everything, how can we still come out of the water just now?" ”
Xiwu pointed to the rainbow in mid-air and patiently explained: "Have you seen that rainbow, it is borrowed from the sky and the silver mirror, arranged in the direction of the nine songs and eight trigrams, and the water after refining this array flows out of the formation and becomes the water of the Styx." This is a legendary burial style, and the River Styx guards the tomb around it, shielding it from prying eyes and coveted it. ”
I see.
Xilin Blue is really the first time to see it.
Xi Wu looked at the sky, at this time, the sunlight shining through the gap above his head gradually thinned, it should be the sun in the sky moving west, so the grotto slowly darkened, and the magnificent rainbow slowly dissipated into the air.
After a while, the grotto fell into deep darkness, but fortunately the two of them were prepared, and lit the torches, barely illuminating a radius of about a foot around them, and farther away, the darkness seemed to be half condensed, and the light could not penetrate it anyway.
Although Xiling blue has a night pearl, but there is only one, the lighting effect of a night pearl is hazy, and it is better to use a torch or a torch.
Although Xiling Lan and Xiwu had reached the point where the cold and heat would not invade, as darkness fell, an obvious cold air slowly crept up from the stones under their feet.
Xiwufuzi took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills the size of soybeans, and threw one to Xiling Lan.
Xiling Lan swallowed the pill without hesitation, and a warm current rose from his stomach and flowed to his limbs, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
Xiling Lan also lazily asked what kind of medicine it was, Yifuzi's practice of medicine, only good and not bad.
"Without that heavenly light, the cold qi of the Styx River will fill the radius, once the cold qi is frostbitten by the cold qi, I am afraid that I will be powerless. The yellow powder I sprinkled just now was extracted from the plant with the most abundant yang energy, which can temporarily suppress the cold qi. ”
"And how long are we going to stay here?" Xiling Lan finally couldn't help but ask.
Xiwu looked at the sky, then pinched his fingers and began to count.
"It won't be long, noon has arrived, the sun is at the top, there will be a light coming down, this time is the time of the day when the yang energy is the heaviest, the yin energy is the weakest, let's take this opportunity, we must pass the River Styx before noon, otherwise it will ......" The rest of the words, everyone knows that there is no need to say.
This is certainly not a place to stay for a long time, you must leave as soon as possible, you can't say that you haven't seen the shadow of the tomb, just hang up on the way to the tomb, how shameful it is!
Xiling Lan nodded.
Sure enough, Xiwu's calculation is still very accurate, and he has the talent of being a god stick, but with a cup of tea, a brighter sky light shines down from the gap overhead, and the silver mirror shines, and the whole grotto is much brighter than the other, and even the rainbow in mid-air is more magnificent, and it seems that even the length and span have increased.
Before Xiling Lan could take a closer look, a gust of wind passed by, and Xiwu had already flown out of the distance, passing by her and whispering hurriedly: "Hurry up!" ”
