[Chapter 653: Moonlight City]
There are no waves on the River Styx.
It's just an endless stream of calm water, from upstream to downstream, seemingly endless.
Li Chun threw a pebble into the water, and it quickly sank, and he didn't know how deep it was.
"In the River Styx, there is weak water, goose feathers cannot float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. ”
The Nether Swordsman still introduced it politely.
No one knows how deep the River Styx is, what is hidden at the bottom of the river, and how many resentful spirits cannot cross the river.
And it doesn't know how far it has flowed, where it has originated, and where it has flowed.
Although everyone knows that the lower reaches of the River Styx are the Pure Land of Bliss created by the Buddha, but they do not know how many years it will take to walk through it.
- Anyway, even in the downstream Styx city, few people succeed in following the Styx to the Pure Land of Bliss.
"What about going all the way down in the boat?"
Lu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Some people have tried, but no one knows whether it has succeeded or not. ”
If you succeed, you will enter the Pure Land of Bliss, enjoy the joy of Nirvana, and you will not look back;
Unsuccessfully, sinking into the River Styx, no more news, let alone anyone knowing.
The temptation of the Pure Land of Bliss is still great for the dead, no matter which city it is, there are countless dead people dragging their numb legs all the way forward every day.
This may also be a way for the dead to consume the population, otherwise even if the world is boundless, the cities along the River Styx will gradually fill.
Huosan rolled his eyes.
For the dead, the choice is very simple, go away, stay and stay, as for whether it is successful or not, it does not matter to the dead at all.
Death is the result. Where would anyone care about the other results?
He was shocked, looking at these men and women, they didn't look like extremely vicious living people, maybe they really had a friendship with the Netherworld, and their courage gradually grew.
Anyway...... Anyway, as long as he sends them across the river, it's none of his business.
The River Styx is wide. The ferryboat traveled for a whole hour before it finally reached the other shore - at first everyone felt a little fresh to look at the scenery in the river, but soon the unchanged scenery became boring, and when they finally landed, they all jumped off the boat eagerly and looked up.
Looking at Moonlight City from afar, I couldn't see the majesty of the city, but when I looked closer, I found that Moonlight City was actually a city bigger than the city of the Heavenly World, and I don't know how much taller it was.
The whole body is made of white bone. Towering as a cloud, reflecting a miserable white light in the cold moonlight, you can't see the top when you raise your head, only the white bones that stretch out.
"The more people who die, the higher the wall. ”
The Nether Swordsman coughed and explained.
"Moonlight City is in the underworld, so it's only a medium-sized city. ”
"Oh......"
Li Chun nodded and did not speak again. Even the most out-of-the-box Lu Xiaoxiao, in front of this majesty of death. For a while, he was also silent.
The gates were left open and unguarded.
This is also the usual practice in the dead world, the dead are not conquest and chaos, so there is no need to watch the door at all, just leave an entrance to enter and exit.
"Let's go, guys. I'll take you to the inn. ”
The Nether Swordsman led the group through the quiet streets to the empty pavilion.
Along the way, you can see a lot of walking skeletons and geismans, but probably because these dead people rarely pay attention to others, and no one cares about the survival of the living along the way.
In the pavilion. It was also a qiē self-help, and the lazy post officer didn't even stand up to greet him when he saw someone coming.
"Anyway, the rooms here are empty, you can choose for yourself, but there are no other necessities, I'll prepare them for you later. ”
The Nether Swordsman patted his head, remembering that the living are meant to eat, and in the pavilion, there is actually only a room to lie down and rest, and all the food and drink are not served.
- The dead don't need these things in the first place, so they have to re-do them.
"In the realm of death, can you find something suitable for the living to eat and drink?"
Li Chun was also quite curious.
"Although it is the realm of death, there are also grain animals growing, but there are not many, and among the dead, many of them were farmers, and they would farm themselves for thousands of years, and they would ...... do not know what to do."
The Nether Swordsman nodded, because it only produced and did not consume, in addition to decaying and deteriorating, there was still a lot of food saved in various cities in the Dead Realm.
Li Chun nodded, thinking of the zombie village in the ancient tomb of the God King, which had actually been cultivated for years and saved a large amount of food.
- Except for some of the things he made, the rest was probably used by King Yan as military rations.
"Then you rest for a while, and I'll go back to the city lord and prepare food. ”
"Good!"
The Nether Swordsman left, and Li Chun and the others just discussed it.
With the help of this enthusiastic swordsman of the dead, they entered Moonlight City smoothly, but how to proceed with the next step of exploration was to be discussed.
"Regardless of the fact that I came here, Li Qing, what should I do next?"
The prince leaned comfortably against the corner - there were no beds, tables and chairs or any other furniture, and he didn't care where the dead lay anyway, he did as the locals did.
"Yes, if you really want to see the Moonlight City Lord, do you want to ask him directly how to close the passage between the two realms?"
Lu Xiaoxiao spoke.
"No!"
Wu Hanyan looked stern and shook his head, "I think the people of the Death Realm should not know about the passage of the two realms, and this matter must not be mentioned." ”
Although the Nether Swordsman is a bit selfish, he is still very reasonable and gentle, which makes people inevitably have some illusions about the Dead Realm, thinking that the two sides can coexist peacefully.
But an individual is an individual, and there is an eternal contradiction between life and death.
The dead always yearn for a qiē peace, for them, the hustle and bustle of the living is an intolerable sin, the way of death, the ultimate goal is to turn the universe into a qiē silence of death, once they find the entrance to the world of the living, they will ignore the influx of a qiē and turn it into a dead place.
- They do not see this as aggression, but as salvation.
It's like a living person nailing a vampire's heart with a cross.
Different stances lead to different ways of looking at problems.
"Yes. ”
Li Chun nodded, Wu Hanyan is the daughter of Wu Tianzhao, and she has a natural vigilance against the dead, so she can see it more clearly.
"The matter of the passage between the two realms must be kept strictly confidential and must not be leaked. ”
Everyone nodded, agreeing to the decision.
"It's just...... If you can't leak it, how can you inquire about how to close it?"
The prince closed his eyes slightly, and his face was embarrassed.
The key to closing the two worlds must be in the dead realm, and now most of the dead do not know the existence of the passage, so they must take this opportunity to completely block the gap......!
