Chapter 31: Entering Lethe River and Hearing the Old Things
"Xinmuna?" Yun Zhen looked out the window, his eyes purring.
Liuchuan poured a cup of hot tea and motioned for Yun Zhen to sit down and taste it: "I went with Gu Zhao to inspect Lethe." ”
Looking at the misty hot tea, Yun Zhen really felt a little dry, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and Yun Zhen, who tasted the taste, said in surprise: "This is the flower tea of Fengqi Town!"
"Hmm. Ruchuan nodded, and then said, "I ordered someone to go to Fengqi Town to carry it." ”
Yun Zhen sniffed the teacup and nodded approvingly: "Sure enough, it is what the harem ladies like, it is very fragrant." ”
Looking at the happy appearance of the cloud pillow, Rukawa also smiled brightly.
"By the way, Xinmu has gone to Lechuan, let's go and take a look, if we can, let's go down and have a look. Cloud Pillow looked at the man on one side through the thin layer of heat.
"Okay, you have a hot tea, and we'll go over. Rukawa poured another cup of tea for Yun Pillow.
The cloud pillow mouth was blowing hot air, and the hurried appearance fell on Liuchuan's eyes, which was more cute.
Because the cloud pillow was not cool for a long time, they lost their patience, and the two of them rushed to the side of Lethe River with a cup of tea.
Just like the scene in Lechuan a few days ago, the river was boiling, and Xin Mu and Gu Zhao stood on the trestle and looked at the river, a little helpless.
"Xinmu!" shouted as he walked as he walked up.
Xin Mu turned around when he heard the sound and saw the two people who came over, and they seemed to be hanging down.
When the two of them walked onto the trestle, Xin Mu saluted and said, "Master, Miss Yunzhen." ”
Yun Zhen shook his little hand and hurriedly said, "It's too polite, I haven't thanked you for your clothes yet, you come to salute me." ”
Xin Mu smiled and said, "Miss Yunzhen, this is as it should be." ”
"Just call me Cloud Pillow. Yun Zhen patted Xin Mu's hand.
Xin Mu glanced at the Liuchuan behind Yun Zhen, and did not see the man displeased and said: "Yun Zhen looks younger than me, I call you Yun Zhen sister." ”
Yun Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Sister Xinmu." ”
"Good. ”
Gu Zhao looked at the cheerful woman chatting, leaned his face over, and looked at Yun Zhen with a smile on his face: "Sister Yun Zhen, can you call me Brother Gu Zhao?"
Liuchuan behind him took a step and walked beside Gu Zhao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come and tell me what's going on." ”
Gu Zhao, who was taken to the side of the trestle, looked at the man beside him and muttered, "Stingy." ”
"Grinding. ”
Gu Zhao clenched his fists and had a forgotten expression: "Well, I won't say it." ”
"It's very simple, the East Ghost Lord is restless again, and the barrier layer at the bottom of the Lethe River is about to be overwhelmed. ”
Liuchuan frowned slightly: "Xinmu, you stay in Jiuyou." ”
"Into the Lethe River. ”
Lethe subsided, and the boiling stopped.
Liuchuan summoned the Linyuan sword, the sword body hung on the surface of the river, the Yin Mountain Fall that slowly rose in the river rotated rapidly, the wide river surface surged in a monstrous trend, separated a road, and a staircase leading to the bottom of the river appeared on the road, which was more unfathomable than the sky of the Nine Shadows at a glance.
The three of them entered the stairs and could not see a trace, and the new Mu on the trestle was put back into the Yin Mountain Fall, watching the river return to calm again, becoming a Lethe River that was no different from his day.
The three people who went all the way down, under the guidance of the Linyuan Sword, walked for an unknown amount of time, and came to a stone gate like a dungeon, which was many times wider than the narrow staircase.
The candlesticks at the four corners were full of wax and oil, and only a small flame flickered at the top, as if to say that it was ventilated.
The carved stone door in the center was tightly closed, covered with a layer of moss, and cracks appeared in the walls around it, and several large characters carved on the stone door aroused Yun Zhen's curiosity.
"The life of 100,000 banners in the east is to protect the scattered spirit and open up the world. ”
Yun Zhen read the inscription on the stone door, and couldn't help but nod approvingly.
"This is where the Eastern Ghost Clan was imprisoned in ancient times?" asked Yun Zhen looking back.
"Hmm. ”
Rukawa took a step closer to look at the damage to the walls around him.
"Looks like we're going to be a day late, and the barrier will be broken. Gu Zhao, who was also touching the wall, frowned.
Rukawa nodded: "Since you're here, let's fix it." ”
"Cloud Pillow, we need your Zhichen blessing to cover a layer. Rukawa watched
"Good!"
Covered by three spiritual powers, the cracked wall slowly healed, and with the rumbling sound behind the stone gate, the moss on the stone gate and the wall subsided, returning to its previous majestic appearance.
The stone doors that have faded from the moss are dark blue, and the inscriptions on the two stone doors are even more imposing. Looking around, the original gray wall also revealed its original color, and the wall was neatly painted with patterns.
Yun Zhen looked over curiously, and saw some people riding tall beasts, some flying in the sky, and some pulling goods. Looking along the way, I saw some people kneeling in a place, and on the high platform was the appearance of a big bow. The smiles on people's faces were very vivid, they seemed to be praying to the big bow, and then they saw a group of god-like soldiers with weapons fighting these people, these people were obviously at a disadvantage, and the desperate expressions on their faces made Yun Zhen frown slightly.
"This is the rise and fall of the Dongyou clan. Rukawa stood on the other side of the wall, looking at the mural, and explained to Yun Zhen.
Yun Zhen couldn't help but sigh at the ghostly work of later generations: "It is a good way to put the ups and downs of an ancient god on the wall." ”
Gu Zhao touched these murals: "I have lived here for nearly a thousand years, and the things on them have long been studied by me thoroughly, and the carving is still good." ”
"So what kind of story is this about?" Yun Zhen couldn't help but wonder.
Gu Zhao stood between the two of them with his arms folded, and said eloquently: "You all know that the Dongyou clan is an ancient god clan, and their clan is coexisting with a divine beast called Kui Ji. ”
"Ten thousand years ago, the Lingkun Mountain in the eastern secluded land collapsed, and there was a divine beast that was bigger than the disease they usually saw, and the divine beast held a boulder in its mouth, which was transparent throughout, and the seven colors of the stone were brilliant and traveled and collided in the boulder. The beast walked out of the collapsed mountain, came to the high platform of the clan pilgrimage, dropped the boulder, found a huge cave and fell asleep. ”
Later, the boulder was smashed into pieces, and there was an old man who made a bow and arrow, and he got a boulder and made a bow and arrow on a whim. The pale cyan color in the boulder was extracted, and it turned into an extremely tough silk thread, and the old man made the silk thread into a bowstring, which could actually make the boulder bend and become tough. After that, this bow was bought at a high price, and it was transferred to a general of the Dongyou tribe, and the general used this bow to become the most powerful god of war in the mainland. ”
"At that time, the Celestial Clan relied on their own superiority, never put any clan in their eyes, heard that this bow was asked for someone, saying that it was dedicated to the gods at that time, and the Dongyou clan sealed this bow as an artifact, and it was impossible to give, and the Celestial Clan was angry and sent a large number of heavenly soldiers to commit it. The Dongyou clan built the city gate in order to show their determination, and this is the gate we see now, and I estimate that it is only a drop in the bucket at that time. ”
"After the war of the Dongyou tribe, only the women and children were left, and there was a huge disease, Kui Ji woke up and was furious, people found that it could speak human words, and the Celestial Clan thought of countless ways and did not subdue it, so the remaining Dongyou tribe drew the ground in the city as a prison, and the disease was the lord of the Dongyou, and then people died one after another, and there were no Dongyou people, but Kui Ji still guarded the scattered bow in the Dongyou. ”
"After 10,000 years, the former eastern secluded land has become a wilderness with no people, until now it has appeared under the Nine Hidden Rivers. ”
