141. The messenger of the Immortal
"It's the end, there's nothing here."
The two walked for more than half an hour, and finally reached the end of the river.
However, the end was not downstream, but a shadow wrapped in a black mist, obviously a distance away, but in the middle it seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, which could not be touched at all.
Xie Zheng felt strange and wanted to touch it again, but Ciyin held her hand and said, "The exit doesn't seem to be here." ”
Not here?
Sounds weird.
Xie Zheng turned his head to look at him and asked, "How do you know where the exit is?" Have you been here? ”
Ciyin's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and she pulled her to turn in a direction and continue to walk forward: "I haven't been here, but I just feel that this layout is a little familiar." ”
Layout? Familiar?
A flash of inspiration flashed in their minds, the direction of the river is almost straight down in one direction, from the landing to the present, it has been a long time, they have met countless forests, bamboo forests, peach forests, begonia forests, pear forests.... Numerous.
"Why is this happening in the woods, where there is only one type of tree planted in each area, and not even a single weed can be seen?"
"And there must be a river between each grove and the other, does that do any good?"
While speaking, the two had already walked some distance and entered another apricot grove.
At the edge of the apricot grove, there was indeed a small river, Xie Zheng squatted down, dipped a few drops of water and sniffed: "There is also a little aura, like a mosquito's legs, it's better than nothing." ”
As she spoke, she sat down cross-legged and began to exhale aura.
Seeing this, Ciyin also sat down on the spot, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes were looking at her, in fact, her mind drifted away, and she jumped into the dark night sky.
Time passed quickly, and I don't know how long it took before Xie Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and a faint blue dark light swept through his eyes.
Ciyin also opened his eyes at the same moment, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, Xie Zheng sneered, and said, "It's so pitiful, I've been vomiting for so long, this spiritual power is not enough for me to make a sword." ”
"I took a look at it while you were meditating, and all the rivers here are connected, but looking at the layout, it looks like a farmland in the mortal world."
Farmland?!
Xie Zheng's pupils shrank, and the question that had been confused for a long time in his heart finally had an answer!
"That's right, it's like farmland!"
The so-called rivers are nothing more than artificial digging to water the trees, and all the species of trees planted here are only the preferences of the owner.
So, here's the problem.
"How did we end up here?"
Ciyin thought for a moment and replied, "If that passage is complete, then we are now in the land of the Nine Netherworlds. ”
Xie Zheng was silent for a moment, looked around at the apricot groves around him, pinched a slightly yellowed leaf casually, and spoke for a long time: "Look at the trees here, they actually have to be watered with water containing spiritual energy, and there is no sunlight all year round, they can survive." ”
Ciyin smiled: "Maybe it's because there is no sunlight that it needs to be watered with aura." ”
Xie Zheng thought about it, it was indeed the truth, but the most important thing at the moment was obviously to leave this place, and there was really no need to discuss how to plant trees in the Nine Netherworld Mansion.
"All the aura here has been absorbed by me, and I can barely fly with my sword for a while, shall we find a breakthrough from above?"
She spoke quickly and seemed a little anxious.
Ciyin raised her hand, stroked her furrowed brows, and said, "Don't be impatient." ”
"The Nine Netherworld Mansion is already lacking in spiritual energy, so let's save some use, I have already seen the approximate location of the exit, don't worry."
Since landing, the spiritual power in the Jade Mansion and the meridians seems to have been drained by something, and now it is not easy to save a little back, look at what Ciyin is talking about, he has already seen the location of the exit? How did he see it?
Xu is face was puzzled when he saw Xie Zheng, Ciyin chuckled lightly, and explained: "Judging from the records of the ancient period, the laws of heaven and earth in the Nine Netherworld Mansion are slightly different from those of the Tianhai Continent, and when you come here, you will be subject to the laws of heaven and earth here, so the spiritual power will disappear." ”
As soon as he said this, Xie Zheng didn't understand even more: "Aren't you affected?" ”
Hearing her words, Ciyin blinked, and the curvature of her lips continued to expand: "That's right, I am not affected by any laws of heaven and earth. ”
Xie Zheng: "? ”
She was stunned suddenly, and her heart was full of surprise, could this be the power of the Heavenly Buddha Secret Scroll?
No wonder in the dream he has the ability to turn the tide and save the Tianhai Continent from fire and water, and after practicing this kind of anti-heaven exercise, he is not the savior, who else can be?
Xie Zheng quickly accepted Ciyin's arguments and pushed all the inexplicable details onto the Heavenly Buddha Secret Scroll.
"In that case, let's go quickly, what are you waiting for?"
Ciyin shook her head slightly, stared thoughtfully at the dark night sky, and said, "Wait, he's almost there." ”
He?
Xie Zheng was about to ask who this 'he' was, a long figure wrapped in black fog suddenly swept over from the other side of the apricot grove like a wind.
Seeing the comer, Xie Zheng subconsciously pulled out the Folding Moon, and pointed the horizontal sword at him: "Rakshasa?!" ”
The black mist on Rakshasa's face dispersed a little, revealing a pair of inky black pupils without the whites of his eyes, seeing Xie Zheng's shocked appearance, his voice carried a hint of banter: "Yo, can you still afford a sword?" That's pretty impressive. ”
Xie Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and was about to rush over with his sword, but he didn't want Ciyin to hold her hand tightly, and said softly: "Wait, listen to him finish speaking." ”
Hearing his words, Xie Zheng immediately turned his head, and his voice couldn't help but rise: "Don't tell me that you two know each other, all this was planned by you!" ”
Ciyin suddenly laughed: "That's not true, we don't know each other, and we don't have any plans, it's just that the matter of coming to the Nine Netherworld Mansion is indeed a temporary idea." ”
As soon as Rakshasa heard his words, he sneered unceremoniously, "Why don't you know? Haven't we seen each other? ”
Xie Zheng: "? ”
She was even more anxious: "No, do you know each other?" You said that Rakshasa is the gatekeeper of the Nine Netherworlds, and you are a native monk of the Tianhai Continent, how can you know him? ”
Ciyin didn't think about it, followed her words, and echoed: "Yes, I did grow up in the Tianhai Continent, how could I know him as a Rakshasa ghost?" ”
Rakshasa saw the two of them arguing, he thought it was quite interesting, looked at it for a while, suddenly looked up at the sky, his face changed suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Stop flirting, the messenger of the Immortal Lord has returned, we have to go!" ”
An emissary of the Immortal?
Before Xie Zheng could speak, a black mist emerged from Rakshasa's hand, instantly engulfing the two of them, and in the next moment, the three of them disappeared into this silent and dark apricot grove together.
