Chapter 21: The Lethe River

When my mother and I stood on the banks of the Lethe River, my mother opened her mouth and exhaled slowly, and soon I saw a flat boat appear on the calm river not far away.

My mother told me that the Lethe River is like the rumored Heavenly River, which can dissolve everything, and even the dragons in the Lethe River cannot survive in it, and only the first generation of dragons who have experienced life and death and are unwilling to reincarnate can enter the Lethe River with their bodies alone, but this has always been only a rumor, and no one has seen it with their own eyes so far.

And the only way to enter the Hades Hall now is to go on this bamboo raft.

The sky around was dim, and there was nothing between heaven and earth that could be seen at this time except for the calm and cold Lechuan River, except for the slow clarity of a flat boat on the Lechuan River.

Standing on the bank of the Lethe River, my heart suddenly surged with a feeling that I could not let go, and this feeling I suddenly couldn't explain.

Just as I was pondering, the boatman holding the boat appeared in my field of vision, I couldn't see what this person looked like in a smoke screen before, but at this time I could see clearly, this person was a middle-aged man, with a hat, but I could see his face in the hat, it was an extremely square face, but because the light around me was a little dim, I could only see the general outline of this middle-aged man.

"Get on board!"

The man didn't raise his head and said three words, and when he heard these three words, the bamboo raft that was constantly coming towards the shore stopped instantly.

My mother glanced at me, and then stepped onto the bamboo raft, and at this time, I carried Su Ying on my back and followed closely behind my mother on the bamboo raft.

The man didn't speak, but looked at us, then lowered his head.

Gently put the long bamboo pole in his hand against the water surface around him, and suddenly the bamboo raft moved, but at this time I also found an extremely magical scene, that is, when this person rowed, there was no wave on the river, as if none of this existed, we quietly on the river and slowly went towards the smoke in front of us, according to the mother's will, as long as we pass here, we can enter the Hades Palace, and the Hades Palace is the core of the underworld. Of course, we didn't pass here for the Hades Palace, but into the formation that my mother had arranged before, and then returned to reality, but I still want to see the center of the underworld.

Sitting on the raft, we didn't say a word.

When I passed through the smoke and fog, the middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat suddenly raised his head, and naturally I still couldn't see him at this time, but at this time he spoke.

"You've crossed the river for the ninety-ninth time, and you've been the longest guest I've ever sent!"

Naturally, he said this to his mother, who nodded and did not speak.

"It won't be long before I'll be out of here, and there will be no more boatmen here!"

There didn't seem to contain any emotion in the voice, but it felt very strange to my ears, and I always felt that this person had something to do with my mother. But the mother on the side didn't care at all at this time, just nodded.

I passed through the smoky world where the gloomy aura condensed, and I saw a lot of illusions in it, but now I don't have the slightest fear, and I can see at a glance whether the illusion or reality of these strange spaces is real.

After we passed through the darkest space, my vision instantly widened, although the whole world was still a little dim, but this time it was much brighter than before, or maybe because I had experienced the baptism of horror and darkness before, at this time I would feel that such a ghostly city was full of light.

In front of me was a huge city.

Originally, I thought that the Hades Hall was just an ancient palace, but what I didn't expect was that it was actually a city.

But I couldn't finish looking at it from the boat, and it didn't seem like it was what I saw. Because at this time, in my eyes, this city seems to be like an ink painting, not completely, but the feeling is very real.

When we landed, I still couldn't see the boatman in front of me, as if he was always on the dark side, and I stood on the other side of the river, watching a flat boat slowly disappear in front of my eyes, and then drowned in the smoke.

At this time, my mother and I both turned around, and the moment we turned around, I almost screamed in shock at what I saw, but with the previous lesson, I quickly covered my mouth.

Carrying Su Ying on my back, I approached my mother little by little, my eyes full of questions and incomprehension.

Mother probably guessed something, and immediately explained with a slight smile: "You must have looked this way before, what you saw must be the city walls, pavilions, right?" ”

I nodded vigorously!

The mother smiled bitterly, and then continued: "That's because any place on the Lechuan River where you look at it is such an ancient city wall, and I don't know what it is for, but I can tell you one thing clearly, the Hades Palace is an eighteen-story ancient pagoda, and originally this Hades Palace is the treasure of the underworld, and it is as famous as the Sansheng Stone. ”

At this time, I glanced at the tower in front of me that towered into the smoke-colored sky, this is the most mysterious place in the underworld, and when I looked at this tower, I don't know why a voice suddenly appeared in my heart.

"Soul of the Underworld, Thoughts of the Immortal ......"

"Xiaodong!"

Suddenly I trembled, and in an instant the voice disappeared from before, and my mother stood beside me, looking at me with a worried face and asking, "Xiaodong, what's wrong with you?" ”

I shook my head, sweat pouring out of my forehead.

My mother gently wiped my cold sweat for me, and then said softly: "The Tower of the Pluto is the treasure of the town of the underworld, even in several catastrophes, there is no damage you can imagine, and no one knows what powerful existence is in this tower of the Pluto, I have avoided several catastrophes with the help of the Tower of the Hades." ”

Following my mother, we walked along the eighteen-story tower into a foggy smoke, and as soon as I walked into this smoke, I instantly felt that my whole body was instantly covered with a layer of frost, and the whole person trembled suddenly.

"This is my exclusive place, Sansheng Cave!"
