Chapter 371, the Cloth-Snatching Lady Hanging Clothes
On the gloomy and dark Huangquan Road, Yan Ran walked alone and anxiously.
Originally, she was with the Leyin Immortal, but the previous Yin Wind swept the range was too big, in order to prevent her from being absorbed by the Yin Wind, the Leyin Immortal threw her away, and he himself was swept away by the Yin Wind.
At the thought that the Leyin Immortal might be devoured by the ghost clan, Yan Ran's heart was very uncomfortable.
She's still dragging him down in the end!
"It will be fine, he is so strong, he will definitely be able to get rid of that gust of wind. ”
Yan Ran kept comforting himself while walking on the Huangquan Road without a clue.
There is no doubt that at this moment, she is lost on the Yellow Springs Road.
If she can't get out, I'm afraid she will become a lonely ghost on this road.
"桀桀~"
The howls of ghosts and wolves were everywhere, and it was creepy and distracting to hear.
"Whew~"
A gust of yin wind blew from behind him, and as soon as Yan Ran's right arm was raised, the Liangyi Phantom Needle flew out, and immediately after, a piercing scream was heard.
Without looking back, she also knew that a lonely ghost turned into gray smoke and disappeared on Huangquan Road.
Ever since Lotus Peng had absorbed the Taiyin Spring water, she had become particularly sensitive to Yin Qi.
According to the perceived intensity of yin qi, the strength of the corresponding ghost clan can be judged.
In addition, she had a Horcrux weapon with a relatively powerful attack power like the Liangyi Phantom Needle in her hand, which allowed her to live safely until now.
Along the way, she met not a thousand, but seven or eight hundred.
Keep tossing and turning, and when you encounter a strong one, you will use the magic power to shrink the ground into an inch and escape; when you encounter a weak one, you will directly use the Liangyi Phantom Needle to extinguish it, and then completely get lost in this Huangquan Road.
Thinking that he had only been in the underworld for a short time, and had fallen into such a situation, Yan Ran's heart was extremely heavy.
This underworld was much more dangerous than she had imagined.
Will she be able to find the Soul Flame and eliminate the Soul Destroying Spell attached to the Yuan Spirit?
Can you complete the things assigned by the Night Tiger master, leave the underworld safely, and return to Dushuo Mountain?
At this moment, she has no bottom in her heart.
Unable to distinguish the direction, Yan Ran had no choice but to find a direction with strong yin qi.
Where the yin qi is strong, the strength of the lonely soul and wild ghost is naturally much stronger.
The hidden danger increased, and Yan Ran walked more and more carefully.
-----
"Wow~"
I don't know how long I walked, but Yan Ran faintly heard the sound of the river surging and lapping on the bank.
At this moment, Yan Ran's eyes burst out with an astonishing light, and almost without thinking, she quickly ran in the direction where the voice came from.
For Yan Ran, who has been lost for a long time, the sound of the river is like a life-saving straw, even if it is full of danger, it can't stop her from approaching.
"Wow~"
"Wow~"
The sound of the river churning is getting louder and louder.
Soon, a magnificent river appeared in Yan Ran's sight, and a strange big tree grew on the bank of the river, and in front of the big tree, there were two gray-haired old men, a man and a woman.
At this moment, a team of ghosts was being escorted by bulls and horses towards the two old men.
Yan Ran looked at them quietly, not in a hurry to approach.
Soon, I saw the white-haired old woman take off the ghost's clothes one by one, and then handed them to the old man, who in turn hung them on the branches of the big tree in turn.
Immediately, a strange scene appeared.
I saw that those clothes, whose weight was almost negligible, actually bent the branches of the big tree.
The bull head and horse face took the notebook and recorded it on the branches for a while, and then escorted the ghosts to the ferry boat parked by the river, and sailed into the distance.
After all the ghosts had left in the boat, Yan Ran slowly walked towards the river.
------
"Huh, why is the water of the Santu River slowing down?" suddenly exclaimed the old woman in front of the tree.
Hearing this, the old man immediately looked at the river.
Seeing that the river, which was very turbulent a moment ago, actually became gurgling at this moment, both of them were shocked.
The two old men turned their heads in unison, there was nothing around the Santu River, and the two of them naturally saw Yan Ran walking towards the Santu River.
Before Yan Ran approached the shore, she saw the old woman in front of the big tree waving at her.
Seeing this, Yan Ran hesitated.
Although the old woman looked pleasant and didn't look like she was going to be unfavorable to her, judging from the scene just now, these two old men should also be ghosts in the underworld.
Yan Ran didn't want to go over, but now she really needed to find someone to inquire where this place was, after thinking about it, she still walked over with a guard, and at the same time, the Liangyi Phantom Needle on the back of her hand was ready to go.
When she got closer, Yan Ran looked at the two old men vigilantly, and the two old men looked at her with blazing eyes, without any movement.
didn't feel the malice from the two old men, Yan Ran's tense heart relaxed slightly, and he took the initiative to salute the two: "The juniors have seen the two seniors. ”
The cloth-snatching woman: "Little friends don't need to be polite. ”
Seeing that the two were quite kind, Yan Ran asked the question in his heart: "May I ask the two seniors, what kind of place is this?"
The two old men were obviously a little surprised by Yan Ran's question, but they answered it quickly.
"This is the Santu River, I am the Clothbear, he is the hanger, the river keeper of the Santu River, who is responsible for weighing the sinful karma of the ghosts passing by here with the collar tree. She pointed to the tree beside her.
The scene that Yan Ran saw before was that they were measuring the ghost's sinful karma.
The more the ghost's clothes crush the collar and the branches, the heavier the person's karma.
The severity of the ghost's sinful karma is related to where they go and reincarnate in the future.
Yan Ran: "This is the Santu River?"
Before entering the underworld, Night Tiger told her a lot about the underworld, including the Three Ways River.
It is said that the Santu River is the outermost river of the underworld, flowing through the entire underworld, and the Lethe River is a branch of it.
The water in the river is divided into three different currents: slow, normal and rapid depending on what the ghost did before he died.
The faster the river, the heavier the karma that the ghost has created during his lifetime, and the slower it is, the greater the merit he has accumulated.
Thinking of this, Yan Ran took a quick look at the river, and saw that the river was almost static, and his face was incredulous.
Has she done anything of great merit?
How did she not know?!
What Yan Ran didn't know was that because of her, whether it was the Sun Realm or the World Tree, the speed of recovery had accelerated a lot, and both of them had accumulated a lot of merit for her.
Especially the World Tree.
The World Tree gave birth to all worlds, and its accelerated recovery directly led to the accelerated recovery of the heavens and all worlds.
This alone has brought her immeasurable merit.
"How did Xiaoyou come here?" It stands to reason that with the merits accumulated by Xiaoyou during his lifetime, he does not need to go through here, and can directly enter reincarnation. ”
Yan Ran retracted his thoughts: "When I was passing through Huangquan Road, I encountered a ghost clan that devoured souls, and I got lost on Huangquan Road during my escape, and then walked and walked here. ”
Hearing Yan Ran's words, the two old men looked stunned.
The face of the hanging clothes man was condensed: "Hmph, the people of the Five Directions Ghost Emperor are becoming more and more arrogant, and there used to be a taboo, but now they don't take the underworld in their eyes at all." ”
The cloth-snatching woman didn't look very good: "Now that the heavens and all the worlds are recovering, and the Nine Heavens are about to reappear, they don't have to be in a hurry." ”
The man in the hanging clothes: "The battle in the fairy world, what does it have to do with them?"
"Do you think everyone is like you, willing to be mediocre?
The cloth-snatching woman didn't want to argue with the hanging clothes, so she turned her eyes to Yan Ran and said meaningfully, "The distance from Huangquan Road to the Santu River is not advanced, and Xiaoyou can come from that side, it seems that the fate with the Santu River is really not shallow." ”
Yan Ran was still thinking about the conversation between the two just now, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
What do you mean?
said that she has a good relationship with Santuhe, don't you want to keep her here?
Fortunately, the hanging clothes quickly dispelled her worries: "That's it, Xiaoyou, I'll let the ferry come over to take you across the river, on the other side of the river, there are the nine shadows of the underworld, and then you can go to the underworld to reincarnate." ”
The person in front of them was the person with the highest merit they had ever seen since they guarded the river, and they should help her.
Anyway, this is also a gesture for them.
Hearing this, Yan Ran was first overjoyed, and then hesitated a little: "Senior, I have a friend who is also lost on Huangquan Road, may I ask, is there any way to find him?"
The hanging clothes were embarrassed: "Little friend, Huangquan Road doesn't belong to me, so... There's not much we can do. ”
Glancing at the almost static Santu River, the maiden suddenly sighed and said, "If only the flowers on the other side of Huangquan Road hadn't withered, then there wouldn't be so many lonely souls and wild ghosts on Huangquan Road." ”
The Hangman glanced at the Cloth-Snatcher, wondering why she had suddenly brought it up.
Yan Ran: "How can the flowers on the other side wither?"
"It's not because of the great battle in the Ancient Heavenly Court, the Emperor Xudu is gone, and the luck of the underworld is lost, and since then, the flowers on the other side are not as good as day by day, and they are slowly withering." ”
The hanging clothes also followed: "If there is a guide from the flowers on the other side, the ghost emperor of the five directions will not dare to make trouble on Huangquan Road so blatantly. ”
The cloth-robber woman continued: "Now that the heavens and all the worlds are recovering, it would be nice if the flowers on the other side also recovered." ”
Yan Ran: "That's right, everything is recovering, why don't you have flowers on the other side?"
"Who knows!" the lady first shook her head and sighed, and then changed her words, "Xiaoyou, have you heard of the relationship between the Three Ways River and the flowers on the other side?"
Yan Ran glanced at Santuhe and shook his head.
The cloth-snatching woman smiled: "If you want to say that these three ways of the river are still the birthplace of the flowers on the other side." The first flower on the other side of the world was born in this river, and then it was transplanted to the Huangquan Road and made a flower for introduction. ”
"The old woman heard that the revival of all things needs something to stimulate. I don't know if there is such a thing in these three rivers? But even if there is, it has to be found by someone. ”
Speaking of this, the cloth-snatching woman immediately glanced at Yan Ran meaningfully.
"If the flowers on the other side of Huangquan Road bloom now, Xiaoyou's friends will be able to find them. ”
Hearing this, Yan Ran's heart moved.
The doubts that had been lingering in my heart before were answered at this moment.
The lady took the initiative to call her over, probably just to say this to her.
It's just that she thinks too highly of herself?
Just because her arrival slowed down the speed of the Santu River, I think she can [ ] find something to stimulate the revival of the flowers on the other side?
That's too casual, isn't it?
Seeing that Yan Ran didn't answer, the cloth-snatching woman glanced at the hanging clothes man, and her chin moved in the direction of the Santu River.
Although the hanging clothes didn't quite understand the meaning of the cloth-snatching woman, he still cooperated and said: "Little friend, even if you return to Huangquan Road now, you may not be able to find your friend, and maybe you will be lost again." ”
"I don't think it's better to call a ferryboat to take you across the river, and maybe after you cross the river, maybe you can find a way to find your friend." The ghosts of the underworld have a guiding lamp in their hands. ”
Yan Ran glanced at the robber and the hanging man, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
Although she knew that these two people had deliberately led themselves up the Santu River, they had no ill will towards her.
After listening to the words of the cloth-robber, she actually wanted to walk on the Santu River.
She couldn't ignore the unknown life and death of the music immortal on Huangquan Road with peace of mind, no matter what, she had to go back and find it.
Looking at the calm and waveless Santu River, Yan Ran's eyes flashed.
Since she is so optimistic about herself, let's go and investigate.
The ferry arrived soon.
After Yan Ran thanked the robber and the hanging man, he stepped on the ferry.
Looking at the ferry boat that was getting farther and farther away, the hanger looked at the cloth-robber with a puzzled face: "Why did you tell that little friend so much?"
The cloth-snatcher glanced at the hanger: "Don't you think it's strange?"
Hangman: "What's strange?"
"Do you think the people who almost let the Santu River stand still are so easy to fall?" ”
Hanging clothes Weng opened his eyes and said with a look of surprise: "You mean, that little friend is a person from the outside world?"
Lady Snatcher: "I didn't say anything. ”
Hangyi: "But even so, what are you telling her about the flowers on the other side?"
The cloth-snatching woman glanced at the hanger angrily: "You said that you are so old, why are you still so unbright?"
"Let me ask you, what is the flower of the other side? It is the flower of the underworld, and it plays a vital role in the operation of the underworld. If the other side of the flower is revived again because of that little friend, the luck of the underworld will definitely rise. At that time, how can you and me, who have the merit of promotion, be able to share one or two merits!"
"With merit, do you still have to stay here day after day, forever and guard the river? You don't bother to be a dress-snatcher and hanger for so long? I don't want to live this day without freedom. ”
Hearing this, the smile quickly crawled on the hanging man's face, but it didn't last long, and disappeared again, "But what if that little friend can't revive the other side flower?"
"If you can't resuscitate, you can't resuscitate, and we're just sending her across the river, and it doesn't take much effort. Although she said that she didn't care, her eyes flashed with strong anticipation when she looked at the Santu River.
The Santu River is almost forbidden, how can a person with such great merit have some ability!
