75 The waters of the underworld
It is said that this mysterious family on the shore of Poyang Lake has experienced this series of catastrophes, although it will not be wiped out, but it can also be said that it is desperate and exhausted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
First of all, the arrival of Lu Santong and his entourage killed hundreds of masters in the family one after another, and then the "Seventeen Gentlemen" led by Wen Tianting slaughtered in the valley, followed by Yan Sidao to break the "too empty dream" of the heavenly grandfather, so that the six or seven hundred clansmen who were sleeping in the "ancestral house" with "ten thousand trees in spring" were almost wiped out, and even the heavenly grandfather and the sixth great-grandmother of the family steward who were in charge of the dream were also killed.
Then Xie Yixiang and the old man Qingzhu and his party returned to the "Red Dragon Town of the Netherworld", before the altar of the lake god, the surviving clansmen suffered from the sudden explosion of the frozen pool, and the resurrected figurines in the depths of the altar were killed, and the casualties were already heavy and almost extinct. After this battle, this mysterious family, which is called the "Yin Soldier" of Poyang Lake by the world, can be regarded as the end of it.
At this time, I saw that the water column that was gushing high in the pool of green water did not stop, and more and more water gushed out, and poured into this valley of "Hades", but in half an hour, the water in the valley had risen to the waists of the people. And the "Red Dragon Town of the Netherworld" in the valley was flooded for most of it due to its slightly lower terrain.
Seeing this apocalyptic scene in front of him, Ren San's great-grandfather, who is now the most senior in the family, couldn't help but sigh and said with tears in his eyes: "Attaining the Great Dao, what is the difference between life and death? As a person in the 'underworld', I have been half-dreaming and half-awake in my life, although I have already solved life and death, but this 'underworld' valley, which my ancestors have been operating for thousands of years, has actually perished in the hands of my Ren Wanjiao...... Alas, it is really providential ......"
Now there are less than 200 people left in the entire mysterious family, and all of them have gathered around the altar of the lake god at this time, and as far as the eye can see, most of them are old and weak women and children, although there are also some men and women in the prime of life, and they are more or less injured. Hearing the emotion of Ren San's great-grandfather, some people sighed repeatedly, some people cried loudly, one by one, sad or angry, all staring at Xie Yixiang and others not far away. As soon as Ren San's great-grandfather gave an order, they immediately stepped forward and fought desperately, fighting to the death with these foreign enemies who killed their families and destroyed their own families; even if they couldn't die with each other, at least they had to shed the last drop of blood to wash away this hatred of annihilation!
Who knew that the third great-grandfather didn't mean to do anything, he groaned for a while, but then said: "Everyone, the family's 'ancestral house' has been destroyed right now, and the heavenly grandfather has also died. Looking at the whole family, only I am the only old bone left. But because I was woken up early by my Heavenly Grandfather from the 'Ten Thousand Trees in Spring', I only have less than a year to live in the future......"
Speaking of this, his tone sank: "However, the 'family' can be destroyed, but the 'clan' cannot be destroyed!" As the family steward at this moment, and also the highest-ranking elder in the family, Ren Wanjiao should flatter the teachings of the ancestors, not only to lead everyone to live, but also to lead you to pass on the three surnames of 'Ren', 'Rui', and 'Fu' in our family, instead of leading you to fight and die!"
After that, Ren San's great-grandfather turned his head to look at Xie Yixiang and the others, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a voice as calm as possible: "Of course, the destruction of the underworld is man-made and man-made, but it is not a natural disaster and a providence...... Hmph, if you want to talk about hard work, my old bones only have one year to live, and at this age, I have long been tired of living, so I naturally won't be afraid. But if it is for the sake of a momentary courage of flesh and blood that leads to the destruction of my entire clan, then I will be the real sinner of the ages in my family!"
Ren San's great-grandfather's words can be described as loud, in the current situation, it is indeed as he said, if he leads the crowd to work hard, it will naturally not be difficult for him, but he chose to endure humiliation, and even at the expense of the infamy of "greedy for life and afraid of death", but also to keep the blood of the entire family, which is commendable.
The more than 200 clansmen present also understood the thoughts of this third great-grandfather, and the anger that was originally full of anger also dissipated, and all of them turned into grief. Seeing the water in this valley rising again, thinking that his family was ruined, many people wept bitterly.
Seeing such an ending in front of her, Xie Yixiang was also a little unbearable. Originally, he was just a momentary brave, and he came to Poyang Lake alone to track down the stolen military salary, but he once again fell into the layout of Yan Sidao, which eventually led to the destruction of this mysterious family.
Although this family has killed many people for thousands of years by virtue of the miracle of the "Land of Yellow Springs", the culprit of robbing the imperial court's military salary is still the Fang Dongfeng who has already subjugated the law. Moreover, the so-called 20 million taels of silver military salary, if it is really the emperor who is in doubt, then this entire mysterious family is actually the same as Jiang Wangcai in Dongting Lake, at best, it is just a prey to fall into a trap.
It's just that I don't know what kind of grievances and grievances exist between that Yan Sidao and the mysterious family of Poyang Lake, and even do not hesitate to set up a "dead end" and let myself die in it? And in the final analysis, what did Yan Sidao get by hiding behind the scenes? And Yan Sidao, who died under the magic power of Da Rui's great-grandfather, was it the real Yan Sidao?
While Xie Yixiang was thinking, the old man Qingzhu next to him had already sighed: "This family is completely finished, and our group has also lost the lives of the Ding family sisters, Niu Bi, Sister Xiu, the old zombie and Dai Laoqi...... Yes, there is also Wen Lie and his accomplices......"
As he spoke, he shook his head and said slowly: "This so-called 'Taixu dream' is not a dream of Huangliang? It seems that this certainty of life and death cannot be reversed by mortals after all...... As that guy said, even if you can live in a dream for thousands of years, you can't even smoke a bag of dry tobacco, even if you don't die, what fun is there?
After the old man Qingzhu said this, he said to Xie Yixiang beside him: "Now that this dream of 'immortality' has woken up, I don't have to continue to coax myself, it's time to go...... I've never been used to seeing these mothers-in-law, so I'm going first. As soon as the words fell, the world's number one master had already unfolded his body and drifted away on the waves.
Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Qingzhu, ...... you Where are you going?" The figure of the old man Qingzhu had gone far in the blink of an eye, leaving only a voice to come, saying: "This time I owe that guy a favor, otherwise it would be impossible to wake up from the dream of 'immortality'...... But now that guy is dead, this favor can only be returned to you...... Muska, do it yourself!"
By the time the old man's words fell, his figure had gone to the mountain wall directly above the valley, which was where the "ladder" for people to enter and exit in the family was located. As for the so-called "ladder", Xie Yixiang could see it clearly at this time, in the final analysis, it was just a stone ladder carved out of the mountain wall. However, it is said to be a "stone staircase", but in fact it is built very roughly, and the span is very large, and there is a drop of about one or two zhang between each stone staircase. At least, it is necessary to have Mayor Wu's "instantaneous and thousand-mile" light exercise method to be able to enter and exit the valley from this "ladder". In comparison, Xie Yixiang can't do it.
And the reason why the so-called "Heavenly Ladder" was built in such a shape was to facilitate the entry and exit of the giant toad, which is the legendary "Chaos Beast". Otherwise, the battle in the mountain recesses and wilderness that day, this "Chaos Beast" would not have been so timely. Recalling the words of the little boy incarnated by his grandfather in the dream, the giant toad in the family entered the "Land of Yellow Springs" through the waterway deep in the pool of green water, and then entered Poyang Lake through the pool of "Yellow Springs", so as to enter and exit the entire "underworld", and I wonder if it can also enter and exit through the "ladder of heaven". Now that the giant toad was killed by Dai Qi and Qu Baoshu, outsiders have no way of knowing the details.
As for the sinister "ladder" on the mountain wall, it is naturally difficult for the old man Qingzhu. With just a cup of tea, he climbed the "ladder" and then disappeared at the mouth of the valley above his head, apparently finally leaving this "underworld" valley. And Qu Baoshu beside him wanted to protect Dai Qi's corpse, plus Xie Yixiang, who couldn't do light work, but he couldn't leave as freely as the old man Qingzhu.
Seeing that the sky-high water column was spraying endlessly, the water in the valley continued to rise, and most of the surviving clansmen were old and weak women and children, and they could not get out of the valley from the "ladder of heaven". But they wanted to wait for the water in the valley to continue to rise until the whole valley of "Hades" was filled, and then they were sent out of the valley.
In this way, the current underground current that poured in from the ground would indeed submerge this valley ten feet deep and covering an area of hundreds of acres, and the water surface would even rise to the mouth of the valley overhead, otherwise those clansmen would not have made such a move. That is to say, after this place is completely submerged, looking down from the outside, there is only a waterhole more than ten feet in circumference left in the entire "underworld" valley.
