Qin Zhen's various dissatisfaction and complaints were completely as if he hadn't heard them to Yudong. He was still smoking a cigarette to himself and was lost in thought.

Qin Zhenqi was about to step forward to theorize, but unexpectedly, Yu Dong, who had never looked up, suddenly spoke: "Seemingly inconspicuous things can sometimes play a decisive role. ”

Just as Qin Zhen was about to think about this seemingly profound sentence for a while, Yu Dong answered: "Just like you." ”

"......" Qin Zhen gritted his teeth at Yudong after a few seconds of blankness: "Xia Yudong! What do you mean? What do you mean to be the same as me? Am I that like an inconspicuous thing? ”

This sentence seemed to remind Yu Dong of something, and he suddenly stood up, rummaging through the room and not knowing what he was looking for. Finally, he pulled out an old mirror from the innermost room......

Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong inexplicably, but Lao Gu smiled on the side: "Da Zhen, Dong Shao wants to give you a mirror to let you reflect your own virtues......

Without waiting for Qin Zhen to refute, Yudong threw the mirror to Qin Zhen, and then shook it very casually: "Put it in the bag, it's useful." ”

Qin Zhen looked at the bulging bag in his arms that had been stuffed blankly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. He always thought in his heart that Yudong's very reliable image also collapsed in an instant. Who has ever seen a reliable person go into battle with a regiment of yarn?

After everything was ready, Yu Dong seemed to look around again to see what else was available in the house. And Qin Zhen stood at the door with the bag of 'waste' on his back and urged dissatisfiedly: "Are you finished?" I'm afraid that my weight is not heavy enough, what's wrong? Do you have to see what else you can take away in this house?? ”

Yu Dong ignored Qin Zhen and took out another box of needles and a pair of scissors. After throwing them all into Qin Zhen's bag, he said to Qin'er: "Okay, let's go." ”

Qin Zhen's lungs were about to explode because of Yudong's attitude of ignorance! But Lao Gu was still afraid that something was not going to happen, and muttered on the side: "Eh, Dazhen, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that Dong Shao can see that you are good at needlework? Isn't it time for us to charge into battle, and you can just knit a sweater down the mountain? When we return triumphantly, we can also give you the glorious title of a good housekeeper. ”

Qin Zhen looked at Gu Jie coldly, gritted his teeth gloomily and said, "I'll strangle you with wool, do you believe it!" ”

"Xinxin ......" Gu Jie slipped away from Qin Zhen while making a surrender form. Then everyone followed Qin'er out of the stilted building.

Along the way, Qin Zhen walked at the end with the 'waste bag' on his back. Originally, I thought that I could talk about life and ideals with Qin'er along the way... Discuss the four modernizations......

But this bag of waste directly made him lose interest, and he kept a gloomy face from beginning to end. Originally, Yan Yuying's beautiful heart-to-heart conversation journey had also become the time he cursed Yudong thousands of times in his heart.

On the way, the old consultant said to Qin'er: "I said girl, there is a problem with the name of your place!" Lethe River is a river in Chinese mythology! Why did the Demon Lord name a mountain Lethe? ”

Well. Qin Zhen listened in the back, and felt that Lao Gu still asked a reliable question. Because he had been curious about it for a long time.

I listened to Qin'er explain with a smile: "All the mountains and rivers here originally had no names. They are all names handed down by the old people in the village for generations, and they are not given by the demon lord himself. And Lethe is talking about water! And the water is very peculiar, because it is different from the water in other places, so people think that it is not the water flow of the world. That's why it's called Lethe. ”

"Oh? What difference can water make? What's a peculiar method? Gu Jie asked.

"The water goes up." Qin'er replied bluntly.

This was a bit of a surprise to several of them. It may sound strange at first glance to say that the water is flowing upwards, but in fact this particular spectacle is just a visual difference. For example, there is a well-known water near the east coast of Taiwan, but it seems to be running out of water now. There is an illusion caused by the large difference in slope between the two sides of the water flow.

All in all, this phenomenon is just a relatively rare and special illusion, and there is no real water that can flow up, let alone anything that does not belong to the world. The enclosed space allows these villagers in the depths of the mountains to understand too little about the outside world, so they will foolishly think that a little different is some kind of ghost. This is the definition that Qin Zhen gave in his heart to 'water flowing up'.

But at this time, Qin'er gestured with her hand and said very vividly: "That water is really special, it goes all the way up the mountain like this." If you calculate it according to the water flow layer by layer, it will be exactly nine paths to the top of the Demon Monarch Mountain. This can be regarded as separating the nine heavens by the flow of water. This qiē is generated by nature itself, and it is really amazing! ”

As soon as he said this, Qin Zhen was a little confused. The visual difference of the water flowing upwards cannot go around the mountain! Could it be that the water here is really beyond the law of gravity? Bottom-up?

Qin Zhen was thinking about it, and Qin'er said again: "Legend has it that Lethe River is the last level to enter the underworld. Entering the Ghost Gate, stepping on the Huangquan Road, crossing the Nai He Bridge, and crossing the Lethe River, this is the real underworld. ”

That sounds like a coincidence! Aren't the names of those places exactly in line with the order that Qin'er just said? It's just that I don't know if the Demon Lord should be born naturally? Or did nature cater to the name of the Lord of the Hundred Demons?

The mountain road is about 40 minutes long, and there are forest streams and streams, flowers and plants on both sides. Occasionally, unknown birds and large butterflies flew in front of them, not at all afraid of people. If you can forget the purpose of this trip for a while, then this is really a pleasing fairy valley!

It can also be seen from the beautiful mountain environment here that they have probably arrived at the Lethe River of the Demon Lord.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to see the nine shadows in the octagonal pavilion on the side of the road ahead. She stood inside the pavilion with her back to them. Slightly looking up at the green hill in front of him. The green silk is like a waterfall, the plain silver tassel, the tall and thin back is hidden under the mysterious black veil, and there is an indescribable beautiful temperament.

There were also two Miao people, a man and a woman, standing beside Jiuyou. It seems that this is the Gu seedling brought by the Nine Shadows that Qin'er said. It is known that the witchcraft in the Miao people is very particular, some are passed on to women but not to men, and some are passed on to men but not to women. Probably because I was afraid that I would be able to use it, so Jiuyou brought a man and a woman......

Hearing their footsteps, Jiuyou slowly turned around. Although she still covered her face with black veil, she couldn't hide her vulgar aura that was dyed between the mountains and rivers.

When they came closer, Jiuyou smiled slightly and said to Yudong, "You guys are here." ”

"Hmm."

"Then let's go." After Jiuyou finished speaking, he was about to beckon the two Miao people to leave, but was stopped by Yudong.

I saw Yu Dong frown slightly and said, "Jiuyou, thank you." But a few of us can go, you don't have to come along. ”

Jiuyou immediately glanced at Qin'er coldly, and Qin'er was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Qin Zhen. It was probably Jiuyou who realized that it must have been Qin'er who told Yudong about the stakes, so Yudong didn't agree to her going together.

But Jiuyou still said to Yudong: "You don't have to think about my safety. The Nine Heavens are fickle and treacherous, and the Demon Lord can manipulate every plant and tree of the entire mountain with witchcraft on the top of the mountain. Although I haven't broken through the Nine Heavens, I can do my best to help you. ”

That being said, they also knew how beneficial it would be to have the Nine Shadows accompany them into the mountain. But these people are all more than one man, how could they let Jiuyou take such a risk?

Especially when Jiuyou expressed her sincerity so 'interestingly', they couldn't let her get into danger! After all, no matter what the outcome, several of them will leave here. And Jiuyou still has to live in the Demon Lord's Miao Village. It wouldn't be good if she stiffened her relationship with the Demon Lord because of a few outsiders.

So Yu Dong spoke again: "Don't worry, I will definitely meet the Demon Lord." For many unexpected reasons, there are already a lot of innocents involved...... I don't want to see anyone hurt because of these things anymore. Jiuyou, I appreciate your kindness, you go back. ”

"But......" Jiuyou still wanted to say something. Yu Dong interrupted her and said, "You've helped me and Juntian a lot, really." No further ado, let's go back. ”

Seeing that it was impossible to persuade Yudong, Jiuyou did not continue to be stubborn. I had no choice but to nod and say, "Then let's do it, I'll use Gu worms to explore the way for you at the bottom of the mountain." In this way, I can help you a little bit......"

"yes, okay."

Without saying much goodbye, Yu Dong nodded to Jiuyou, and beckoned Qin Zhen and them to set off. At this time, Qin'er also shouted to them: "Be careful all the way, wait for you to come back!" ”

These words make people's hearts warm when they hear them. At least let them feel that in this mysterious and strange Miao Village, there are still their own people.

Jiu Youmu sent Yudong and their backs away, and then immediately returned to the pavilion. Sitting in the gazebo, she opened the silver Gu box on her necklace and released three Gu worms that could fly like small bees.

Then she closed her eyes and silently recited the ancient incantation. At the same time, he shook the silver bell bracelet on his wrist. Gradually, as if they had heard the command, those Gu worms immediately followed Yudong's steps and entered the Nine Heavens of Lethe.
