Chapter 16: Re-entry into Hades
It is very inevitable to go to the underworld again, even if Murong Qingshu doesn't say anything, Tang Yichuan actually already has a plan in his heart.
Since the United States is very safe and stable, and for the time being, he has not encountered mortal danger now, it is also very necessary to solve Su Qingyi's problem first.
Tang Yichuan prepared for a while, didn't delay too long, and planned to go to the underworld immediately.
In the past two days, although Luo Shenmen and the Yin and Yang Association have also sent people to inquire about the situation, but because Ning Xiaoxiao used some relationships to resolve them and block these troubles, they had a little time to go to the underworld.
The next thing is to prepare to go to the underworld, in fact, there is not much to prepare for going to the underworld, after all, no one knows what the underworld is like now, and they went to the underworld to rescue Su Qingyi, but the specific situation of Su Qingyi, even the order book Murong Qingshu does not know, not to mention them, they can't make any complete preparations at all, they can only go to that place.
Therefore, a day later, Tang Yichuan was completely ready to go to the underworld.
The main purpose of going to the underworld this time was to see the situation in the underworld and solve Su Qingyi, as well as the sleeping teenager who was trapped at the bottom of the Lechuan River, so Tang Yichuan didn't want to take too many people down, Chu Xuan was relatively powerful, so Tang Yichuan planned to take Chu Xuan and Murong Qingshu down, one was good at fighting, the other knew a lot of things, and also knew Su Qingyi's location.
Gongsun Lan and Fusheng are closest to Tang Yichuan, after all, the underworld is a more dangerous place, so both of them want to follow, and in the end Tang Yichuan denied that Gongsun Lan followed. But because Fusheng's current ability is very strong, with three books and four orders, he can give Fusheng protection. Because there will be no danger, this child Tang Yichuan also plans to take it down. Besides. Fusheng knew more about the underworld than any of them, so it was necessary for Fusheng to follow.
"What about us?" Although the fox is a lazy person, it is also a little unpleasant to be excluded by Tang Yichuan.
"Hold here." Tang Yichuan said, "Protect everyone here." If there's any news from the U.S., I might need your help. Tang Yichuan glanced at the fox and said.
"Okay." The fox shrugged, "But you'd better protect your life." ”
"I don't want to die yet." Tang Yichuan said, "When we are ready, we will go." Chu Xuan, floating life. Murong. ”
The other three had already made preparations, Tang Yichuan took out the order to enter the ground, activated the order to enter the ground, and they went directly to the underworld.
In the end, it is easy to use the order to enter the ground, as long as it is activated, they arrived at the underworld almost in the blink of an eye, this time, Tang Yichuan and the others did not take Huangquan Road, nor did they go to the Nai He Bridge. As soon as you enter the underworld, you will find a place full of yellow sand, and there is a boundary monument in front of you, on which are written two words: Hades.
In front of the boundary monument are houses. It's the style of some ancient buildings, and the place is full of yin, and some of the yin is as if it's alive. Wandering around.
The sky here was extremely dark, and the black fog seemed to be a little opaque. So the person's visual distance is very short, and he can't see too far away. Far away, even if there is something, only a rough dark outline can be seen.
"The gates of hell?" Chu Xuan walked to the tombstone and looked at it, "It's really lifeless." ”
"There's not even a ghost, it's a little weird." Murong Qingshu glanced around, and said with some suspicion, "It stands to reason that there will be a lot of ghosts in the underworld, even if there are no ghosts, there should be a lot of ghosts, but there is nothing here, lifeless." ”
"Ghosts can be animated, too?" Tang Yichuan said suspiciously.
"People have the vitality of others, ghosts have the vitality of ghosts, some living creatures, thinking things, all have their own breath of life. Do you feel it, everything here seems to be dead, there are no ghosts, only these mist seem to be alive," Murong Qingshu said.
"Floating life, where is the Lord of the Underworld?" Tang Yichuan looked at Fusheng who was sitting on Chu Xuan's shoulder and asked.
"Shall you go to the Lord of Hades first? I don't build yì to do that. Fusheng said seriously, "Although I don't know what happened in the underworld, it is indeed a little different from before, but there are still rules here, no matter who trespasses in the underworld, it is not welcome." When you get here, they should have sensed it already by now, so I think we'll have to do what we're going to do before we go to them. ”
Murong Qingshu also nodded slightly, "The situation here is a bit weird, such a situation will definitely make the people of the underworld doubly vigilant, and it is obviously not a good choice for us to go to the Lord of the Underworld or the Lord of Yama." The situation of the junior sister has nothing to do with them, and we can't give us any help if we find them. ”
"So go save people first, and then go and understand the situation?" Tang Yichuan glanced at Murong Qingshu.
Fusheng and Murong Qingshu both nodded almost at the same time, obviously both of them had already made their own decisions.
Chu Xuan never spoke, he knew very well that he did not belong to the person who made the decision, and he did not have any right to speak, as long as he helped Tang Yichuan.
"Then let's go to the Lethe River first." Tang Yichuan did not hesitate and nodded.
Fusheng sat on Chu Xuan's shoulder and led the way, after arriving at the underworld, Tang Yichuan began to feel that it was really not wrong to bring Fusheng here, because no one knew the underworld better than Fusheng, in Fusheng's own words, he had lived in the underworld for hundreds of years, and even if the underworld had undergone earth-shaking changes, he was very familiar with it.
So with Fusheng leading the way, they drove to the Lechuan River, near the Naihe Bridge.
According to the clues provided by Murong Qingshu, Su Qingyi was probably trapped directly below the Nai He Bridge, so if they wanted to find Su Qing Yi as quickly as possible, they had to go down directly at the location of the Nai He Bridge.
But along the way, several people were a little confused, they saw a lot of strange things, some plants in hell spread wildly, and the ghosts and ghosts of hell turned out to be very few. There was almost no trace of it, and there was a sinister black mist. But there are a lot of them.
There is a kind of hellish ghost vine that is the most dangerous thing that Tang Yichuan and the others have seen, and these ghost vines can be turned into any protective color. And then all of a sudden, it hurts people and hurts unprepared.
Tang Yichuan and the others just didn't notice that the ground was full of ghost vines, so they were attacked, so that several people were slightly injured, but fortunately, there were not many people who came, and all of them were elites, and the ability to protect themselves was naturally there, so it was no big deal, and the emperor gave an order. So the ghost vines all retreated.
The surface of the Lechuan River has also undergone very strange changes, there used to be some rancid ghosts floating on the surface of the river, but now the water surface has become very clear, and most of the water surface is covered with a kind of aquatic plants, this aquatic grass looks like a living one, and the aquatic plants seem to be the strangely long arms of human beings.
When he saw these aquatic plants, Fusheng frowned and said, "How can there be so many of these things." ”
"What is this?" Tang Yichuan looked at those aquatic plants, and he didn't see a single aquatic plant when he came last time. But this time, I saw so many aquatic plants, and the number was terrifying, one by one, like a pale arm, with a length of four or five meters. When it came out of the water, it was extremely strange, as if there were thousands of people stretching out their arms in the Lethe River, waiting for someone to save them.
"We call it the Soul Dragweed, a water weed in the Lethe River. They had been confined to one area before, restraining their growth. Now it has spread all over the Lethe River, and this kind of soul dragging grass often likes to drag ghosts into the Lethe River, and then devour the ghosts. The reproduction ability of this soulweed is very powerful. And once they grow, they can also turn into animals and walk around, so the underworld has always controlled its number. There are so many of them, and it seems that there are really a lot of things going on in the underworld. No, I've got to see-"
After all, Fusheng has lived in the underworld for a long time, and he has home-like feelings for the underworld.
At that moment, Fusheng decided to go to the Lord of the Underworld and ask Lord Hades what the situation was, to see if there was anything wrong with the two.
"That's fine, go your separate ways." Murong Qingshu glanced at Fusheng Dao, "You go to the Underworld Lord and them, and we will go directly below to find someone." ”
Tang Yichuan didn't object, he knew that the situation in the underworld was too abnormal, and this abnormality made him feel terrifying, so he was afraid that it would be more reliable to act separately, so Tang Yichuan asked Chu Xuan to take Fusheng to find the Lord of the Underworld, and he and Murong Qingshu went to find Su Qingyi. No matter which side ends first, go to the other party.
"Three Books and Four Orders-" Tang Yichuan hesitated whether to give the Three Books and Four Orders to Fusheng.
However, Murong Qingshu said: "The three books and four orders are all at your command, you gave the three books and four orders to Fusheng, he can't use it, he can only be blessed when he is by your side, it's enough to have Chu Xuan here, Fusheng is familiar enough here, and he can avoid danger if there is danger." ”
"Yes." Fusheng was still sitting on Chu Xuan's shoulders, Chu Xuan was relatively tall, it looked easy to carry a child like this, and he was still quite relieved to look at Chu Xuan and Tang Yichuan.
"Okay, that's it, Chu Xuan, please help me protect the floating life." Tang Yichuan grabbed Chu Xuan's shoulder.
Chu Xuan just nodded, he didn't say a word, he asked Fusheng to walk in that direction, and he disappeared immediately, his speed was quite fast.
Tang Yichuan looked at Chu Xuan, who had disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the white aquatic plants in the Lechuan River, these aquatic plants really didn't look like aquatic plants at all from the outside, because their color was white, pale and smooth, and the shape was the shape of a human arm, but it was much more slender, and the top was a human hand-like storage zài, but not five fingers, but four fingers.
Most aquatic plants are green, but their color is as pale as a dead man's, which makes people feel weird.
It seems difficult to get down from among so many aquatic plants without getting entangled, and it also makes your scalp tingle.
"Didn't you bring some trait weapons?" Murong Qingshu said, "You can try that miniature bomb." We only need a small place, and I've observed, and if you go deeper, you won't have any of these things, and as long as you don't get entangled when you go down, you won't have a problem. ”
Tang Yichuan nodded, and took out a pill-like thing from his backpack, which was what the doctor gave him at the beginning. It is said to be a miniature biobomb that is useful against many creatures. However, the doctor did not try it, and it was given to Tang Yichuan just in case. The doctor also sensed that something was wrong with the underworld.
The pill was thrown towards the surface of the water, and Tang Yichuan and Murong Qingshu both stared at the surface of the water nervously, but there was no movement on the surface of the water for a long time.
"It doesn't seem to work." Tang Yichuan said, "Maybe I can only go down and clean up by myself." ”
With a sword already in his hand, Tang Yichuan was about to summon the black dragon to rush over and make a hole that could make him guò, when the aquatic plants on the water suddenly changed.
The surrounding aquatic plants all curled up in an instant, and all of them retreated into the water, and where Tang Yichuan threw the pill, all the white aquatic plants actually withered in an instant. It seems that the doctor is still very useful. is worthy of being a doctor, even if he has never seen the aquatic plants here, the scope of what he does is quite wide, and even the aquatic plants can deal with it.
"Hurry up." Murong Qingshu said, "The surrounding aquatic plants will soon spread over, take advantage of now." ”
Tang Yichuan had already summoned the black dragon and sat directly on top of the black dragon, Murong Qingshu also jumped up, and the black dragon plunged into the water violently. In just a few moments, they had gone deep into the place where the water and grass did not exist.
The water in the Lechuan River is very cold, and the deeper you go, the more cold it becomes, and this cold is not an ordinary cold. It's a kind of cold that goes deep into the bone marrow, and the cold makes people shiver.
Although holding his breath in the water was not a difficult thing for Tang Yichuan, this kind of cold also made him feel unbearable. It's getting deeper and deeper, and you can't see the daughter plants above your head. How deep the Lechuan River is, Tang Yichuan doesn't know. However, with the speed of the black dragon, such a rapid dive gave him the feeling that they had entered the deep sea, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they had reached the bottom of the deep sea.
Heilong and Murong Qingshu couldn't feel the cold, so they didn't know how Tang Yichuan felt.
And Tang Yichuan's whole body was numb from the cold, and his face became more and more pale, if it weren't for the strong willpower controlling him, he would probably have fainted a long time ago.
When Murong Qingshu found out about Tang Yichuan's strange appearance, the speed of the black dragon had also slowed down, and the water temperature in this place was gradually warming, and it became clearer and clearer, and even there seemed to be some bright light in the water, which allowed Tang Yichuan to see something.
"Are you alright?" Murong Qingshu's questioning voice came from his consciousness.
Tang Yichuan nodded, his face was still pale, as pale as a dead man, but his body was much, much better than the biting cold just now, and he felt that the blood in his body that was almost frozen was still slowly flowing.
Tang Yichuan controlled the black dragon and continued to move forward, he was looking for the crystal coffin he saw at the beginning according to his previous memories, and he had the impression that if Su Qingyi was there, he should be in the same place as the young man's coffin.
Murong Qingshu is also perceiving Su Qingyi's location, he has a special feeling between him and Su Qingyi, and Murong Qingshu is a book of fate, so it is easier to find Su Qingyi's deposit.
"How?" Tang Yichuan asked Murong Qingshu with guò consciousness.
"It's going to have to go a little further." Murong Qingshu seemed to have sensed something, and he said to Tang Yichuan.
The black dragon began to continue to descend, and it didn't take long for Tang Yichuan and Murong Qingshu to seem to feel something at the same time.
Tang Yichuan slowed down the black dragon, and he began to become more vigilant, he had reached the very deep Lechuan embankment, the smell of rancid water here was gone, but all kinds of creatures were gone, and the feeling here was even more lifeless than above, as if it was a place full of death. There should be no living creature here.
That feeling made Tang Yichuan feel an inexplicable panic, as if the breath of death was approaching him.
Murong Qingshu suddenly flew towards the front alone, Tang Yichuan quickly followed behind Murong Qingshu with the black dragon, something seemed to be flickering in front of him, a flickering light, this kind of light was too familiar, he remembered that this was how he felt when he saw the crystal coffin in his dream.
Sure enough, Murong Qingshu quickly stopped, and the place where he stopped was just a meter away from a coffin locked with chains.
"It's not her...... How could it be-" Murong Qingshu looked at the coffin in front of him suspiciously, and inside the coffin was a man, a man with a somewhat similar face to Tang Yichuan. He was dressed in red, and lay quietly in the crystal coffin.
"It's him." It's the boy under the yin and yang tree. When Tang Yichuan saw the boy. He wasn't surprised, because he knew he was going to meet him. I don't know why he was locked in a coffin, but Tang Yichuan planned to take him out of the bottom of the Lechuan River this time.
"But my sister isn't here." Murong Qingshu was not happy, his purpose was to find Su Qingyi, not a young man.
"When I release him first, Sue should be nearby." Tang Yichuan gestured to Murong Qingshu.
Murong Qingshu nodded.
The crystal coffin was locked with iron chains, and the entire crystal coffin was tied up, which meant that Tang Yichuan wanted to save the young man, so he first untied the iron chains, and these iron chains came from a direction under the coffin. Tang Yichuan drove the black dragon and flew directly downward.
But in a moment, Tang Yichuan reached the bottom, where there was a huge stone, countless iron chains on the stone spread out and tied the coffin above, Tang Yichuan rushed to the edge of the stone, and then saw some holes in the stone.
The shape of these holes made Tang Yichuan think of three books and four orders, and without thinking about it, Tang Yichuan directly took out three books and four orders, and then. The three books and four orders are precisely embedded in these holes.
Click, click-
The chains on the stone began to turn, and in the blink of an eye, all the chains quickly retracted into the stone.
The crystal coffin above. It was released in an instant.
Murong Qingshu pushed the crystal coffin and rushed to Tang Yichuan's eyes, and just when they were about to trap the coffin on the black dragon's body, and then continue to look for Su Qingyi. Something suddenly floated in front of me.
The trance-like thing glowed in the water, as faint as the crystal coffin containing the boy. In the blink of an eye, the thing was already in front of you. It turned out to be a coffin, a crystal coffin!
"It smells of her." Murong Qingshu took a closer look, but inside the coffin, there was no Su Qingyi at all, it was an empty crystal coffin.
"What about the man?" Tang Yichuan was also a little surprised, it stands to reason that Su Qingyi should be in the coffin, but why, there is no one?
Murong Qingshu's face sank, and he suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he was sensing something.
Tang Yichuan took advantage of Murong Qingshu's thinking and tied the crystal coffin to the black dragon's back, and soon Murong Qingshu shook his head and said, "Not here, she's gone, she's already left here!" ”
"Gone?" Tang Yichuan looked at Murong Qingshu with some doubts, Su Qingyi was clearly just a corpse, how could she leave this place, hadn't she already lost consciousness?
"It's no longer at the bottom of the Lechuan River, if someone didn't take her away, then she would have recovered and left by herself." Murong Qingshu obviously didn't know the specific situation, he just shook his head and said, "We should go, there's something wrong with this place-"
Before Murong Qingshu's words were finished, his whole body was suddenly hit by something, and he suddenly flew upward.
And Tang Yichuan also felt the tide surging under his feet, as if an earthquake had occurred, he and the black dragon were both thrown up in a whirlpool, and the whole person felt powerless and unable to get out of this whirlpool.
The waves became even more turbulent, Tang Yichuan's whole body shook with the waves, he tightly grasped the crystal coffin tied to the black dragon's body, and the black dragon was also trying his best to break free from this whirlpool.
The whirlpool became faster and faster, and the feeling of rapid rotation made Tang Yichuan, who was holding his breath, dizzy, but he felt that the black dragon was gradually breaking away from this place, although it was very difficult, but the black dragon suddenly became stronger, and it suddenly broke free from the whirlpool and rushed towards the surface of the Lechuan River.
There was a powerful force behind them trailing them, and Tang Yichuan felt countless hands grabbing his shoulders, and suddenly, he had jumped out of the water with the black dragon, and his body was crawling with those white aquatic plants like arms.
Quickly ripped all the aquatic plants off his body, and Tang Yichuan breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
