Chapter 18: The Body of the Dead, the Elephant of the Unbounded

Temple of Arubis.

Tall stone pillars supported the heavy sky, and dim light poured in low from the sloping stone doors, illuminating the swirling dust in the turbid air. The whole temple was large and dark, and the whole air was cold as if it had been covered with frost.

Inside the wide shrine stands a huge statue. It is unknown what material the statue was made of, and the person who shaped it does not know its surname. But although this statue has been mottled by the dust of time, it still gives people a rather shocking feeling. The statue's head is an indifferent wolf's head, with large rubies in its eyes. The torso of an adult figure is straight and clad in armor. It fell to its knees on one knee, holding an axe of the same height as it slew. The dusty axe, although it has undergone countless years of changes, still has a sharpness that can cut through the moon.

"Arubis, the god who is at the helm of reincarnation and eternity, the god war ten thousand years ago, the gods prayed for strife, and there were countless casualties. The Dark Emperor Set was in power, and more than half of the land was sealed, and the flesh of the gods was sacrificed to cast his immeasurable body. With his eternal body, Arubis shielded against the claws of the Dark Emperor. This gives Emperor Horus a chance to kill the Divine Body of Seth.

After that, Arubis used his reincarnation to revive the gods and seal the Dark Emperor. Suppress it with its Underworld Axe. So as to calm the turmoil, and protect the heavens, the earth, and the underworld from collapsing. “

Under the huge statue, the grandfather's old voice spoke slowly. The calm tone could not hear the emotion, but there was a solemn aura that fluttered in the hall with the echo of the grandfather's voice.

Mo Xuan stood aside, listening intently, looking at this tall statue that he had known for twelve years, it was the first time he knew so much about the origin of this statue.

At the helm of the reincarnation and eternal god of the underworld - Arubis!

He subconsciously touched his forehead, as if when he heard the name, there was an extremely impulsive emotion surging between his eyebrows, and then a simple and vicissitudes of life injected into his whole body.

He couldn't help but think of the strange world he saw in Baita that day, and remembered that it was the underworld that his grandfather said, and that the tall wolf-headed man was Arubis itself.

Suddenly, he thought of the boat he had seen in that world, and the rower on it, who was covered in grass.

With the power of one stroke, until now, when Mo Xuan thought of this picture, his heart was still indelible shock.

"The underworld is a creation realm composed of reincarnators and undead spirits, and it is said that you can reach the underworld by descending the golden river. Those who have reached the underworld will not be able to return to the underworld unless they are reincarnated. Then Grandpa said. "In the very center of the underworld is the River Styx, which crosses the Styx, and the dead can only be reincarnated if they cross the River Styx. ”

Hearing this, Mo Xuan's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Grandpa, is there still a rower on the River Styx?"

Grandpa nodded, a little surprised, and said, "Yes, there is a ferryman on the River Styx, and if the deceased wants to cross the River Styx, the only way to do so is to throw a copper coin into the river to cause him to dock and take his boat." Otherwise, you will remain in the underworld forever. ”

"Unlike Arubis, who controls the underworld, the ferryman does not have the slightest power, but even Arubis has to be respectful in the face of him. ”

Mo Xuan nodded deeply. These extremely obscure secrets are extremely difficult for ordinary people to know, and these things have also made him understand some things related to his runes.

"The underworld is the source of the Styx Xuantu, so to speak, the people who are chosen by the Styx Xuantu, even those who are chosen by the underworld. ”

"So, I was chosen by the underworld?" asked Mo Xuan.

"That's true." Grandpa nodded.

"Do you know what the source of the rune is?" Grandpa looked at Mo Xuan and asked suddenly.

"Huh?" Mo Xuan sighed and shook his head.

All things are made of images, and images are the composition of everything in the world, and everything in the world is the embodiment of images. “

Grandpa looked at Mo Xuan and said slowly.

However, runes do not come from the earthly realm, but are given to people by the gods, so runes are not elephants, and elephants cannot support the operation of runes. “

"So in the world, there is still a kind of spiritual energy, called Wuxiang. The Elephant does not know where it came from, nor does it belong to the realm to control, so the Elephant is also called the 'Elephant of Boundlessness'."

"The use of runes requires the help of these imageless qi. The more abundant the Wuxiang hoarded in the body, the stronger the rune will be, and what I asked you to incorporate into the body through cultivation before is the Imageless Qi. “

"Grandpa comes from a place in the East Pole that doesn't belong to the Sunset Sandbank, and we don't need runes for cultivation there, so I can't show you this, and when you enter the Pyramid of Agaro, those rune masters there will explain these lands to you in detail. “

Grandpa touched Mo Xuandi's little head, and looked at the tall statue in front of him, with a complicated expression.

"Grandpa, I can't bear you and the girl. “

Mo Xuan's eyes suddenly moistened again.

"Silly boy, how can you be reluctant. People are always separated, and sometimes separation is a good thing. “

Grandpa smiled kindly and patted Mo Xuan's head gently.

Mo Xuan didn't seem to understand, but he still nodded very seriously and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely work hard in the Agaro Pyramid, and I will definitely become a very powerful rune master in the future!"

"Okay, grandpa is waiting for you to become a very powerful rune master. : Grandpa said with a smile.

Then, the grandfather walked slowly to the statue ground, respectfully bowed to the statue with his hands folded and deeply, and then, he walked straight to the statue, and tapped lightly on the base of the statue three times, only to see that a card slot popped out on the base of the statue. Grandpa pulled out a necklace from your face, with a wolf's claw-like object attached to it. Grandpa put it in his hand with a shock, turned around and carefully hung it between Mo Xuan's neck.

"This is the finger claw dropped by Arubis during the God War 10,000 years ago, and the breath was sealed by the secret art, so it seems ordinary, but he can help you better understand the breath of the underworld.

Mo Xuan felt a chill on the necklace's touch, different from the usual biting coldness, this was a kind of coldness from the depths of the soul.

Mo Xuan felt it seriously, but didn't find anything unusual, as if it was really just an ordinary necklace.

"You must not mention the origin of this necklace to anyone, understand?" Grandpa asked solemnly.

"Yes, I understand. Mo Xuan nodded solemnly.

"That's fine. Grandpa can't help you much, everything has to be on your own. ”

With that, Grandpa slowly left, turning to the depths of the temple.
