Chapter 8: Pandora
That river is the River Styx, it is the real River Styx, although he always deals with undead creatures, and he is also a great demon of the undead, but this is also the first time Xiao Xuan himself has really seen this river with his own eyes, after all, hell is not a place to wait for leisure, it is easy to get in, but if you want to get out, it is really too difficult and too difficult, not only is it a question of whether Hades agrees, but also the limiting factors of the world plane are in it, Unless you have the strength to fight the entire world plane or take advantage of some loopholes in the rules of the world, it is impossible for the dead to come back to life. √∟ Top Novel,
In myths and legends, there should be boaters on the River Styx, but Xiao Xuan looked upstream and downstream, and did not find any boats, and on the other side of the river, I don't know when there was a woman standing, the woman was very charming, wearing a black veil, with the most primitive temptation, but her eyes were very cold, as if she had seen too many vicissitudes.
The other party seemed to find that Xiao Xuan was still not over the river, and said directly: "Aren't you a necromancer, are you still afraid of the souls in this Styx?" ”
The woman said it very reasonably, Xiao Xuan found that he was speechless, isn't the reason why the River Styx is terrifying is because of the countless dead souls contained in it, but he is a necromancer, and the last thing he is afraid of should be these dead souls.
Therefore, why do you need any boaters, you can go directly to it.
Xiao Xuan stepped out and stepped into the water of the River Styx, the water was very cold, and the moment Xiao Xuan's feet were wet, he seemed to sense that there were countless souls "open" at the same time and stared at him.
The first step was taken, and the following was even more indifferent, Xiao Xuan walked into the middle of the Styx River step by step, and the souls in this area seemed to be restless.
Living, living, living!
They smell the breath of the living!
Living. What a delicious thing, a living man, what a longing for, a living man, something that seems to have long been forgotten!
The revenants began to flock to Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan was at this time. His eyes were slightly gloomy, and he looked a little cold, and the fire of the undead completely erupted at this moment, as if it had ignited this river Styx!
"Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!h
……
Countless souls were howling, they were screaming in pain, they were struggling, but Xiao Xuan was completely indifferent, watching them disappear in front of him in pieces!
For the revenant, to challenge the authority of an undead archmagister. It means annihilation!
The burning of the fire of the dead declared Xiao Xuan's strength and dignity, and at this moment, with him as the center, there was no soul in the water of the Styx River within a radius of ten thousand feet.
Even this Styx River water seemed to have been dried up, in front of Xiao Xuan. Directly exposed dry hard earth, but. Obviously, there is water in both the upstream and the downstream, but in the middle, the water is gone, and every drop of Styx water contains the undead. When the undead were annihilated, the water was also dry, and the undead in the upstream and downstream naturally did not dare to move closer to Xiao Xuan at this time, and the water naturally could not flow.
Cross the river. This is naturally the most relaxed, when Xiao Xuan walked to the other side of the river, the black gauze woman who was originally standing on the opposite bank smiled at Xiao Xuan and stretched out her hand at the same time.
Xiao Xuan also stretched out his hand, when shaking hands, Xiao Xuan felt that the other party's hand was very warm, very slippery, and very comfortable to touch, of course, the handshake was only a superficial taste before it was released, Xiao Xuan would not think too much about that kind of thing in hell.
"Hello, my name is Pandora."
"Xiao Xuan."
Pandora's smile was beautiful, and she pointed out to Xiao Xuan: "Master Hades is already waiting for you, please come with me." ”
Xiao Xuan followed Pandora and walked up a step, after walking on the first section, the second section will appear, just like that, Pandora took a step Xiao Xuan also took a step, and in the end, Xiao Xuan found that he had come to a height of 10,000 meters, this palace should already exist, but it has been in an invisible state, only when you reach this position, can you see the next position and direction.
What a strange palace, what a strange Hades.
Pandora turned a corner, the person disappeared, Xiao Xuan was slightly stunned, and then followed Pandora to turn a corner, and then suddenly opened up, a palace appeared in front of him, simple and low-key but luxurious, Hades was sitting on the throne directly above, holding the throne with one hand, leaning slightly sideways, looking at Xiao Xuan for a long time.
"His Highness Hades." Xiao Xuan gave Hades a gentlemanly salute according to Western etiquette.
"You're from the East, and you don't really believe me." Hades directly dismantled the platform, "In your Oriental belief system, no, in your Chinese belief system, sitting in my position should be what ten Yan Luo." ”
"Yes, that's true, but I practice necromancy, and you, you represent the supreme of necromancy." Xiao Xuan replied.
"Huh, Supreme? No, I can't be called the supreme, my brother Zeus can't be called the supreme, the reason why your necromancy doesn't work for me is because I stand taller than you, of course, in fact, what you need most is that you have to get out of your own necromantic magic path, I saw that you used that red silk thread to create a method similar to someone's soul, which is very good, and that can be a path for you to develop in the future. ”
This is already equivalent to pointing you out, this kind of guidance on the path of cultivation is sometimes even more effective than some reward points, Xiao Xuan bowed his head slightly towards Hades, this time, it was more sincere than the previous gentlemanly courtesy.
Hades yawned and said, "To be honest, your strength is a little far from the group of people that my Zeus brother is looking for, which gives me a headache." ”
Xiao Xuan stood and did not speak.
"You say, what should I do?"
Xiao Xuan continued to stand and did not speak.
"It's a lot of brains."
Xiao Xuan still stood and did not speak.
"Pandora, wait for him to go to my treasury."
This time, Xiao Xuan moved, followed Pandora to the other side, and then walked down, all around, still transparent, everything seemed to be visible, and everything seemed to be invisible.
Hades is still sitting on the throne, he waved his hand, and a picture appeared in front of him, the person in the picture turned out to be Xi Cheng, in the picture, Xi Cheng's eyes were like electricity, and he directly shot down Zeus's scepter with momentum, so that it was lost to the world, and it was impossible for Zeus to take it back, so he could only passively seal it in the world.
"The same is yellow skin and black hair, from the language point of view, two people, should be Chinese, but why is this person, so strong, so strong that even I need to look up, and this one, but so weak." Hehe, too, if these two Chinese really have any connection and relationship, why should this Xiao Xuan come to beg me, why come to make a deal with me, directly talk to that person, let that person break my seal and take out the crown of Zeus, at that time, whether I have the courage to intervene is still unknown, my brother does not dare to make another move. ”
……
Hades's treasure vault is actually very simple, yes, Xiao Xuan is not wrong to use the word "simple", a simple small space, in which seven or eight things are sparsely placed.
However, when I thought about it, at the level of Hades, there are actually very few things that can be regarded as treasures and collected, and each one of them must be precious.
"You can only pick one thing here." Pandora said with a smile.
"Only one?" Xiao Xuan obviously felt a little unpleasant.
"Adults will have other things for you, and these so-called treasures, to put it bluntly, are all external objects, I have been with adults for so many years, and I have basically never seen adults use any treasures against the enemy."
"And what about your box?"
"My box ......," Pandora shook her head slightly awkwardly, "How many years ago, I've almost forgotten it." ”
Legend has it that Prometheus once warned his younger brother not to accept any gift from Zeus on Mount Olympus, but to return it immediately. Epimetheus, however, forgot this warning and gladly accepted the young and beautiful woman, Pandora. It wasn't until later, when he suffered, that he realized that he had brought disaster upon humanity. Until then, humanity had followed Prometheus' warnings, so there were no terrible plagues, no hard labor, and no afflicting diseases. Now, this charming Pandora holds the gift in both hands, a large closed box. As soon as she walked in front of Epimetheus, she suddenly opened the lid of the box, and the plague inside flew out like a puff of black smoke and quickly spread to the ground. There was only one good thing hidden at the bottom of the box: hope, but Pandora, following the admonition of Zeus, the father of all gods, quickly closed the lid before it could fly out, so that the "hope" that Athena placed at the bottom of the box to save mankind was forever closed in the box. Since then, all kinds of disasters have filled the earth, the sky, and the sea. Diseases spread day and night among humans, raging and silent, because Zeus did not let them make a sound. All kinds of fevers are rampant on the earth, and death is running wild in the world.
"Wherever, although you are no longer in the world, there are legends about you everywhere in the world." Xiao Xuan teased Pandora, and then, his gaze fell on a ring and couldn't move away, that ring was one of the few treasures in this space, but it was exactly the same as the soul ring that Xiao Xuan had!
That soul ring Xiao Xuan handed it over to Zhang Shuqian before entering hell, and he didn't bring it in, perhaps, because of this, he may have omitted a lot of trouble. (To be continued......)
