Chapter 20: The Underworld
Walking down that clear river, standing in the water, streams of cool air emanating upwards from the soles of your feet, body, hands, head. Instantly I felt a lot lighter, and my body was full of vitality, is the air flow in this river the aura? I heard Grandpa Yang say that what can restore the strength of a tired body in an instant is aura.
It's weird, I've walked across this river before, and I've never felt this way.
Before, Ding Xiaolan thought that this river was the Lethe River of the underworld.
Legend has it that the Lechuan River is a very terrifying river, the water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, it is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts that cannot be reincarnated, insects and snakes are everywhere, the fishy wind blows on the face, the river water has no buoyancy, and it also has the poison that can corrode the soul. Those souls who go into the water will never have a chance to go ashore, and can only become water ghosts in the Lethe River.
The pain of never being able to be reborn and the bone-chilling waters of the river make those water spirits jealous of other souls who still have the hope of reincarnation. As long as a soul falls into the water, they will rush to it, pull it to the bottom of the river, and become water ghosts like them.
Look at this clear and beautiful river, it is too far away from the Lechuan River, and it is definitely not the Lethe River.
Slowly flowing across the river, I went ashore, and just stood firm.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind, and a sword glowing with blue light stabbed straight into my throat, the speed was too fast, so that Ding Xiaolan could not avoid it, she stood quietly with her eyes closed. Half loud, no movement.
Ding Xiaolan calmly opened her eyes, and the cold tip of the sword stopped two centimeters away from her throat.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
A cold and low voice sounded, and Ding Xiaolan looked forward along the tip of the sword, only to see a young man in a dark blue robe, with clear bones and a long sword with a cold blue light in his hand and pointing directly at me.
He has a majestic figure, a bronze complexion, well-defined facial features that are three-dimensional like a knife, dark and deep ice eyes, which look wild and uninhibited, evil and sexy, and the whole person emits a kind of king aura that is mighty in the world, and there is only cold frost on the evil and handsome face at this time. Those ice eyes made people dare not look at him, and he had no emotion at all, as if all he saw was a dead thing.
"Say!"
The majestic coercion rushed towards Ding Xiaolan, it was too powerful, and Ding Xiaolan's current mana couldn't compete at all! She hugged the little one in her arms tightly with both hands, for fear that it would hurt her. But under the pressure of that powerful spiritual power, Ding Xiaolan felt as if her internal organs had been shattered, and the pain was incomparable.
Say, talk about your sister, Ding Xiaolan roared in her heart. She wanted to say it, but now she couldn't even speak. How else to say? If she can say it, she wants to scold the nineteenth generation of the iceberg male ancestor on the other side!
"Hmm!"
A fishy, sweet, warm liquid surged up from the depths of his throat and overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Just when Ding Xiaolan felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop!"
A blue figure appeared out of nowhere, shouted, and flew up to me to block the terrifying oppression.
As soon as the pressure on her body was light, and the paint cover was soft, Ding Xiaolan was about to kneel down if she couldn't support it, and a strong palm held her arm.
"Are you alright?"
The man's pure and fresh voice sounded in Ding Xiaolan's ears.
Before she could say anything, Ding Xiaolan fell into endless darkness.
When Ding Xiaolan woke up again, there was only one feeling.
Pain.
Soreness all over my body.
It was as if I had been run over by a car.
The successive fainting made Ding Xiaolan speechless, and she felt that she was really weak.
When you open your eyes, you see everything unfamiliar.
"Girl, are you awake?"
A little girl's voice came, Ding Xiaolan turned her head to look over, and a little girl in a long emerald green dress came over and helped her up.
Who beat me up while I fainted? Ding Xiaolan pondered in her heart. Every inch of skin on my body hurts.
"Is there any water?"
Ding Xiaolan's voice was hoarse, and her throat was dry and painful.
"Yes, girl, wait a minute." The little girl's immature face has a calmness that is different from her age. Sweet water flows into the throat and moistens the dry throat. Suddenly I felt a lot more comfortable, the pain in my body seemed to have been relieved, and my strength came back a little.
"Thanks, what's your name? Where is this? ”
Ding Xiaolan looked around and saw the cloud-roofed sandalwood beams in the bedroom, and a huge shining bead hanging on the roof of the room, shining like a bright moon. It should be a bead like a night pearl. The floor is covered with white jade, which shines brightly. The whole room is built in a more quaint style.
But the room is very modern, it is a fine room, at first glance it is a girl's room. The pink bed, pillows, quilts, pink dresser, all kinds of cosmetics on the table, and even the wardrobe are pink. The whole room is a powder series. And everything is as good as new. It seems that the owner of this room likes pink very much.
"Back to the girl, the slave maid is called Xiaolu, this is the underworld." The little girl in the green dress replied.
"Who brought me here?"
"It was Lord Yan who sent you back."
The little girl must have been trained, and she will answer if you ask. Never say more.
Lord Yan should be the blue figure he saw before he fainted, Ding Xiaolan thought to herself.
"Did you see a baby brought here with you?"
"Lord Yan has explained, he has sent someone to send the baby back, she will stay safe until the smooth delivery, please rest assured girl."
"That's good."
Ding Xiaolan's heart finally let go, and lived up to her grandmother's trust, and this time it was successfully completed without danger. But seeing that I haven't been back for so long, grandma must be worried. I still have to go home quickly.
"Where's Lord Yan?" Say a good thank you to him and go home.
"The slave takes the girl to meet the adult!"
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Walking out of the room, I followed Xiao Lu along the path paved with good white jade, and there were many flowers blooming on both sides of the road, red, white, and black, all over the side of the path.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are actually only four kinds of flowers, manju sawah, ghost grass, poppy flower, and mandala. They are all famous four famous flowers in the underworld, but it's just strange, why do these four flowers all bloom together?
And every blooming flower has a faint cold light. It's chilling! Ding Xiaolan couldn't help but shudder slightly, the four major flowers of the underworld are all very evil flowers, and they have been planted so much, this is really not a place for people to stay.
After passing through a pond, it was black, like ink, and it also exuded an unknown fragrance, not annoying, quite a good smell, Ding Xiaolan took several deep breaths of the aroma
Soon Xiao Lu took Ding Xiaolan to a palace, motioned for her to go in by herself, and retreated.
