The world seemed to be in chaos, everything was very blurry, as if the heavens and the earth had not yet opened.

Then there was a light in the world, and then there was the sound of running water, and a faint scent of flowers.

Xu Huaigu's consciousness gradually recovered, and he felt severe pain all over his body, as if the bones in his whole body were broken.

He opened his eyes and saw the sky of Lethe, and there was still a vast sea of flowers around him, and he was a little puzzled why the flowers on the other side that had attacked him before were now silent.

He felt something on his chest, the token carved with the Black Flower.

Xu Huaigu's memory slowly recovered, and he remembered that at the last moment, he fell from Bai Xiaoyu's futon, and then that token went with him, saving his life.

He didn't get up first, but blindly touched the ground with his hand for a while, grabbed the hilt of the sword of "Xiaoyu", and the short sword "Cangshui" on his waist was also there, so he was a little relieved.

Judging from the current situation, he should have been separated from Bai Xiaoyu, but with this token, at least he could guarantee that the other side flower would not attack him. And Huang Shan and Bai Xiaoyu will definitely not be able to come to this sea of flowers without tokens, so he can only rely on himself now.

Thinking of Yu Qin, he was still very uncomfortable, I don't know how long he was in a coma at this time, and he didn't know how Yu Qin was doing outside.

However, what he didn't know was that because the Lethe Secret Realm was too huge and already had its own rules for the passage of time, he had already been in it for most of the day, but the outside world was only half an hour.

He struggled to his feet, and realized that there was a stream beside him, and the sound of the water he had heard before was the sound of the stream flowing.

He looked around him and noticed that there had been a big change. The sky no longer seemed to be a void, as if three rays of light were about to emerge from beyond the void.

These three rays of light, one is pale cyan, one is pale red, and one is pale gray.

This is one of the things that makes Lethe unique in the secret realm, it has three different colored suns, but no moon.

Xu Huaigu carefully sorted out his thoughts.

He alone would definitely not be able to find the antidote Huang Shan said, so his top priority now was to find Bai Xiaoyu and Huang Shan as soon as possible, and then find a way to leave the Lechuan Secret Realm together.

He looked up and found himself in an unfamiliar environment, and the scenery around him had changed from when he first arrived.

When he first arrived, he could only see rolling hills, but now he could see a small section of mountains in the distance, with protruding stone walls and stone shelves, where the flowers on the other side did not grow, so it was safer. He felt that Bai Xiaoyu and Huang Shan would definitely find a place where there were no flowers on the other side, so he headed towards that small mountain.

The sound of the small stream beside me was a little pleasant.

The sound of the stream is in my ears, coupled with the endless flowers in the sky, even if it is placed in the world, it is a very beautiful scenery, not to mention that the three rounds of suns in the sky are also extremely beautiful, and it is even more like a fairyland now, but Xu Huaigu is not in the mood to appreciate it now.

The stream also happened to flow towards the mountain, which made Xu Huaigu a little puzzled. Generally speaking, the water flows low, and the stream should flow down from the mountains, but this stream flows to the mountains.

But Xu Huaigu was in a hurry to find Bai Xiaoyu now, so he didn't care about these strange phenomena. Holding the token, he walked through the lush sea of flowers, and walked firmly towards the mountain.

At first, the flowers on the other side were still very luxuriant, but as Xu Huaigu marched, the flowers became more and more sparse, and the stream flowed into a small grassland and began to become gentle.

Xu Huaigu saw a figure the size of a small grain of corn standing by the stream in the distance, and when he looked closely, the figure was also vague, making it difficult to see.

Xu Huaigu didn't know who it was, but his intuition told him that since this person would be in Lethe, he must not be an ordinary person, and his cultivation must not be low, and it was not something he could provoke, so he decided to bypass that figure.

But when Xu Huaigu approached the figure, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at the person, only to find that the person was a rickety, an old man, sitting by the stream fishing, but there was no fishing basket beside him.

The more Xu Huaigu looked at it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, wanting to hurry over.

But the figure didn't want to let him go, and said, "Boy, everyone who has entered the Lethe River since ancient times wants to see themselves in the River Styx, don't you want to try?" ”

Xu Huaigu knew that he couldn't hide from this person, but he wasn't very afraid of this person, after all, if this person did it, he could hide in the sea of flowers on the other side. In the sea of flowers, he has a token, and the flowers on the other side will not attack him, and I believe that this person will definitely not dare to go in.

Xu Huaigu asked rhetorically: "You said that this river is the River Styx, what is the River Styx?" ”

"When the soul of a person dies, he will return to this river of Styx, don't you know this?"

"But isn't this Lethe, and it's not the real Yama Underworld, shouldn't the soul of a person enter the underworld after death?"

The old man shook his fishing rod and said, "You don't even know this, you dare to enter Lethe?" This river Styx flows into that mountain, and after that mountain of good and evil, it is the real Yama Underworld. If I don't warn you of this boy, you'll die in it, but that black flower token in your hand is a good thing, and Yama might kill you. ”

Xu Huaigu asked, "Then why are you telling me this?" ”

The old man felt that talking to this child was really boring, so he said, "I still worship the token in your hand, if I didn't want that thing to fall into the hands of Hades, I would tell you this?" ”

Xu Huaigu suddenly became vigilant.

The old man was disdainful: "Look at you like that, if I wanted that token, would you still be alive now?" I killed you all when you came in. ”

Xu Huaigu asked again: "What about the two people who came in with me?" ”

"They're in that mountain right now, and they're stupid to go on. That half-hung ghost cultivator is also an idiot, I don't know which fragment I saw the record of Lethe River, but I am not good at learning, and I am still walking to Yama, if I cross the Nai He Bridge, I really can't come back. ”

Xu Huaigu hurriedly said, "That senior, can you help me remind them?" ”

The old man scoffed: "Why should I go? I'm also going fishing. ”

Xu Huaigu was helpless in his heart, these great monks are all a group of people with strange personalities, and it doesn't matter if they like to beat around the bush when they speak, but they are also pretending to be profound at this critical moment.

Xu Huaigu had no choice but to go over by himself, but the old man still stubbornly said to him: "Look at the river before leaving, you will regret it if you don't look at it." ”

Xu Huaigu glanced at the old man, but found that his eyes were indeed sincere, so he walked to the stream and looked down at the stream.

The old man explained, "As the name suggests, Lethe River is a river into which the souls of the dead will flow, and this stream is a small tributary of Lethe. The waters of the Lethe River will reflect the deepest things in your heart, so wait and see. ”

The deepest thing? Is it a memory of your own youth? It should be Zhang Xiaohe and Li Zi.

A picture gradually appeared in front of Xu Huaigu's eyes.

But the first thing he saw was Yu Qin.

Under the cold moonlight on the edge of the cliff, she sat on a grass at the top of the cliff, wearing a long ink-colored dress, holding a small leaf in her hand, and playing an unknown song by her mouth. And he sat on the side, quietly watching Yu Qin.

Next, Xu Huaigu saw Li Zi and the Taoist priest again.

Li Zi had a half-green, half-red stone in her hand, which was the one Xu Huaigu gave her. Dressed in red, she jumped up and down behind the Taoist priest, looking around from time to time. The Taoist priest still walked leisurely and leisurely at the forefront.

The picture flashed again, and then Xu Huaigu saw Deng Zhiyuan, Feng'er, Yu An, Lin Cangyang and Lin Hongzhi again, but that's all.

Xu Huaigu stabilized his mind and broke free from the illusion of Lethe.

The old man smiled and said: "Many people can't see what they think in their hearts, Lethe is the best mirror, and the person who misses and hates the most is clear at a glance." ”

Xu Huaigu nodded and said, "That senior, can I leave?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "What's the hurry, I still want to give you a creation, do you want to take it?" ”

Xu Huaigu was immediately shocked in his heart.

To be able to say the word creation, this old man is by no means simple!

Xu Huaigu took a deep breath, calmed down a little excited, and then asked: "I don't know what the creation sent by the seniors, the juniors thanked me first." ”

The old man pointed casually, and there was a stream of Lethe River stripped out of the small stream.

This cloud of Lechuan River water swirled into a small glass color box, he threw the color box to Xu Huaigu and said: "Keep it safe, this Lethe River Water is a good thing, it has many effects, especially for ghosts, it is the best tonic, and it is also very beneficial to your cultivation state of mind." The most important thing is that only me and Hades can take out this river water, and this is the greatest gift. In fact, this river water was sent a little early, and it should be better to wait for your realm to be higher. But things can't be perfect after all, so let's make do with it first. ”

Xu Huaigu picked up the color box with both hands, thanked him and said, "Thank you, senior." ”

The old man waved his hand and ignored it.

Xu Huaigu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Senior, take the liberty of asking, how high is your realm?" ”

The old man was not surprised at all, and said, "Haha, I know that the young man is impetuous, and he must ask such a question." I've been here for too long, not thousands of years, but hundreds of years, and now I really don't know what's out there. But according to the rules of my time, I should be considered about to ascend? It's a pity that the way of heaven didn't give me this opportunity, and I got me to this place by mistake. ”

Although Xu Huaigu estimated the old man's realm very highly, he almost exclaimed in surprise when he heard the word Ascension.

Ascension is something that only monks of the twelve realms can do, so this old man has at least eleven realm cultivation, and he is the sect master of the largest sects in the Central Domain today, and he can be regarded as the person with the highest cultivation that Xu Huaigu has ever seen.

The old man looked at Xu Huaigu's shocked face, and laughed at himself: "It seems that even now, it is a very high realm to ascend?" After such a long time, it seems that the cultivation realm has not changed much. ”

After Xu Huaigu accepted this box of river water, he said goodbye to the old man and continued to go on the road to find Bai Xiaoyu and Huang Shan.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the water in the creek, and a familiar face suddenly flashed.

Xu Huaigu frowned, thought about it carefully, and finally remembered who that person was.

It is the emperor of Dayu Kingdom, Lin Hongzhi.
