Chapter 64, Green Mountains and Green Waters
Although Duo Duo is Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is not a canary Joe raised in the palace city, and when she was less than twelve years old, she shouldered the heavy mission of the dynasty to go to the Great Snow Plain to find the distant and ignorant bloodline inheritance, and the enemies were either overt or covertly around her, and the conspiracy and intrigue assassination would happen every day.
It can be said that from the moment she left Beijing two years ago, she has grown rapidly in the midst of all kinds of dangers.
Xu Zi'an is not an ordinary mountain boy, she knows this very well in her heart, the extremely sharp sealing knife, the small yellow umbrella that can not change in the slightest under the mountain cone of Jiuyou Town, she can't think of any description of these two weapons in the holy weapon list, so she can only think of it as an adventure under some big chance.
As for the identity of the teenager, she also thought about it, but this thinking was not a distrust, but a curiosity that everyone would have.
She believed in the trust of the young man for no reason, and she herself could not explain where this trust came from, like an ascetic man who sees an umbrella to protect himself from the rain in the wind and rain.
It's a very reassuring feeling.
The fingertips gently touched the small yellow umbrella beside him, feeling the pleasure of the little yellow umbrella reflecting on the fingertips, and the flowers squinted at the gradually bright moonlight, and the mood was very relaxed.
Because of her bloodline ability, she could feel the emotions of all the magic weapons, so the intimacy that emanated into her mind from the little yellow umbrella was naturally very clear to her.
She has seen countless divine weapons, the third floor of the Tianji Pavilion is the back garden of her own house, the third floor is placed in the dynasty for thousands of years, she likes to communicate with all kinds of magic weapons during the period, feeling their glory and the vicissitudes of history, but there has never been a little yellow umbrella like this, which can make her have a pleasant resonance from the depths of her mind.
Not even the Luohe Divine Diagram that had been kept in her heart.
Along the way, Duoduo has never let go of the little yellow umbrella, or held the umbrella above her head to cover the sunlight that could not really be blocked, or used as a bamboo cane for walking, or simply looked at the little yellow umbrella and smiled.
Xu Zi'an looked at the love for the little yellow umbrella in Duoduo's eyes, thought about it and said.
"This umbrella is for you"
"Really?" Duo Duo was overjoyed and shook her head again after a moment.
"No, it's important to you, I can't ask for it"
Xu Zi'an didn't think too much about it, and said again.
"It's okay, it's not that important compared to you"
These words are very romantic, and they have great motivation for those young and ignorant teenagers and girls, but the pair of teenagers and girls sitting by the fire don't think about it in any way.
She is a girl, but she is also the princess of the dynasty, if she wants, she can let the young man offer it with his hands in countless ways, whether it is the favor of the noble, or the exchange between the equals, or just the forcible claim of the noble status, Xu Zi'an has no room for resistance.
Along the way, she has been getting along with him as a friend, and talking to him in the way of friends, that is, no matter how much she loves the little yellow umbrella, she has not said any strong words, Xu Zi'an is very grateful for this hard-won friendship, so he really thinks that compared with Duoduo, the little yellow umbrella is not so important.
And Duoduo refuses to accept it, also because she is his friend, and friends should think about each other for each other's sake, rather than forcibly satisfying their own pleasure with friendship that is not linked.
She could feel that this umbrella was really important to Xu Zi'an, like two intertwined lines in the dark, and in those unpredictable futures, it would take on a large part of the responsibility in the trajectory of the young man's life.
even faintly changed the fate of the teenager.
This is not the divination and vision in the Taoist Temple, but the faint aura felt in the little yellow umbrella through the talent bloodline.
Thinking of this, Duoduo considered the language and explained to Xu Zi'an the unfinished topics just now.
"You should know that I left Beijing to go to the snowy region to find my inheritance and awaken the power in the bloodline, but unfortunately, I didn't find my inheritance in the snowy region, but I found the clue of the tomb mountain"
"Tomb Mountain?" Xu Zi'an repeated in confusion.
"Yes, it's a forbidden place in the Snowy Divine Kingdom"
As she spoke, Duoduo pulled out a dead branch that had burned in the bonfire, shook off the flames on the wooden branch, and slowly drew a simple map on the ground with charcoal black.
"The place where we live is called Tianyan Continent, the Desolate Clan is called the Heavenly Abandonment Continent, and beyond the Tianyan Continent, there is a large snowfield, where it is called the Snowy Divine Kingdom, and there is another race, the Spirit Race."
"The Desolate Race, the Spirit Race, or the Human Race, these are the few races known so far, of course, there is another existence that no one knows so far, the Hades"
Duoduo drew heavy strokes on the ground with charcoal, and the charcoal was extremely deep into the ground, and it gradually blended into the night, thick like blood stains left in the night.
Xu Zi'an looked at the black line on the ground, and suddenly felt a sense of depression and dullness in his heart, as if the place where the black line was drawn was not the thick earth, but his heart.
Holding back the dullness in his heart, Xu Zi'an raised his head and asked, "What is this?"
Duoduo waved his hand and said.
"There are powerful ghosts and ghosts in the underworld you said, but those filths are just made up by people in the countryside, and there is no need to take it seriously, and the real underworld ........."
Duo Duo continued, "If there is an underworld, it should be some races that are different from this world, and they will also practice, but they are different from the exercises practiced in our world."
Speaking of this, Duoduo paused.
"Do you remember the scene when Qu He died mysteriously at the end? I once said that he went into the underworld."
Xu Zi'an nodded and said that he still had an impression.
"The underworld, the rumored practice of the underworld, is one of the clues that the world can prove the true existence of the underworld, but Qu He's cultivation is not the real underworld, because ..............." Duoduo suddenly fell silent, his face was a little pale, and he seemed to remember some terrifying pictures that he didn't dare to recall.
"I've seen people who have truly entered the path of the underworld"
There is no moon tonight, the night clouds cover the stars, the wind blowing through the mountains and forests becomes cold and abnormal, the flowers are close to the fire, the rags of the little yellow umbrella dance in the night wind, but the handle of the umbrella becomes warm, it seems to feel the chill born in the girl's heart, the flowers look down at the warm little yellow umbrella, and the eyes gradually calm.
"Of course, whether those tricks are the real underworld exercises, no one can say clearly, whether it is the mantra of the end of the plum garden of the Qianshan Sect, the great hexagram of the old man of Tianji Pavilion, or the remnants of the words and warnings left in the holy scroll of the sages, what people can see is only the shadow of the underworld, just like one of the countless one-sided after being broken into a kaleidoscope, in terms of things, since the great departure from the founding of the dynasty, every year countless strong people will be sent to look for the existence of the underworld in the world, but they have been in vain, the existence of the underworld is like an invisible cloud hanging over the heads of the world, although people have never been able to see their true existence with their eyes, but I can feel that palpitating fear from time to time in the majesty of heaven and earth."
"And the reason for the fear is because of the existence of the four forbidden places"
After Duoduo finished speaking, the extreme north and the extreme south of the territory on the ground reflecting the firelight were drawn separately, and then a black dot was pointed out between the waist and abdomen, and after the point, the girl's hand stayed in the air and hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know where to drop the next stroke.
The firelight gradually dimmed, and the graphics on the ground were much darker, Xu Zi'an casually added some firewood, and Mars lit up the night sky and disappeared into the night.
"Four Forbidden Places......... Is it a realm occupied by the Hades?" Xu Zi'an asked after thinking for a moment after seeing the newly added charcoal marks on the ground.
"You can also say the same", Duo Duo continued with Xu Zi'an's words, "Because those places are shrouded in darkness all day long, the rules of heaven and earth will become extremely chaotic during the period, it is rumored that the four forbidden places have a great relationship with the underworld, and they are the places where the Hades King once lived, full of unimaginable fear and weirdness in the world, as well as endless darkness, and the tomb mountain I found in the snowy region is one of the four forbidden places"
"The Snowy Tomb Mountain, the Desolate Stygian Sea, the Great Separation Abyss, and a forbidden place called Crossing the River, but it has not been discovered so far, so it is impossible to know the true direction"
Duoduo said as he gently tapped the marks he had just drawn with a wooden branch, Xu Zi'an looked at the girl suspiciously, and asked.
"Since the last one has yet to be discovered, how can the world know that there are four forbidden lands, and not three forbidden lands or other numbers?"
"Because this is the god Yu recorded on the heavenly scroll of the back temple"
Xu Zi'an opened his mouth to ask, but seeing that Duoduo waved his hand lightly, he seemed unwilling to talk about those things, so he had to stop asking.
"In the record, since the last war of the Hades invasion, the Hades have been sleeping in those mysterious and strange darkness all day long, waiting for the next awakening, leading countless powerful Hades armies to invade my Tianyan Continent, and the whole world will fall into a turbulent apocalypse......... Where could there still be a Stygian Stone."
"Stygian Stone?" Xu Zi'an muttered to himself, suddenly feeling that the name was very familiar.
"Yes, a kind of inky black stone like the night, according to legend, there are seventy-three in the whole world, each stone is sealed with an incarnation of the Hades, when the Hades awakens from his slumber, he will summon the incarnation sealed in the Hades Stone to help him come to the whole world again" Duo Duo said quietly, the charcoal pen in his hand unconsciously scratched, drawing one invisible black line after another in the night sky.
Xu Zi'an's eyes were blurred on the charcoal pen at this time, as if he could see those invisible ink lines, a little distracted, and seemed to be shocked by these secrets, but if you look closely, you will find that his back has already been soaked with sweat, the two hands hanging down by his side are trembling violently, and his pupils are condensed like ink spots between two papers, which are full of endless fear and shock.
Fortunately, Duoduo looked at the bonfire at this time and was distracted, and did not notice his abnormality.
He was really scared now, and he felt the blockage and dullness in his chest beating like a war drum in his heart at this time, making his internal organs stir together, and even the air exhaled into his lungs became extremely spicy.
Because he remembered something.
Duoduo just said that one of the four forbidden places is called Youyuan, a name he had heard before, where Shen Li was once imprisoned.
And the dark stone, he was more familiar with, because the black stone that Shen Li brought out from the abyss was in his heart at this time, closely connected with his flesh and blood.
In other words.........
He is now very likely to be an incarnation of the Hades in this world!
