Soon, Lin Heng walked to the Lingxiao Third Pavilion and pushed the door in.

On the stone table in the courtyard sat a man with skin like snow, his black hair tied up in a high bun, his beads shining dazzlingly in the sun, and his bright red lips slightly raised.

There was a faint heroic spirit between her eyebrows, but there was a faint blue meaning of sea water in her eyes. He is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a graceful demeanor and extremely beautiful appearance.

Seeing this, Lin Heng frowned slightly, and shouted softly: "Senior Sister Mulan, what are you doing here alone?"

He walked over, and she stood up awkwardly.

She looked at him, wrinkles appeared between the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, her eyes were like paint, delicate and vulgar, and said softly: "I'm waiting for you." ”

When Lin Heng heard this, he was surprised in his heart and said, "Wait for me, is there something important?"

Zhang Mulan shook her head, the two strands of hair on her cheeks gently brushed her face with the wind, adding a bit of seductive style, and her flexible eyes turned wisely.

She said, "There is nothing important, Senior Brother Gu and they have also gone back to the room to rest." I'm waiting for you because I want to talk to you. I don't know, can the little junior brother talk to the senior sister again?"

Lin Heng smiled lightly, personable, gentle and elegant, and said, "Senior sister wants to talk, junior brother, I naturally agree." I don't know, what does Senior Sister want to talk about?"

He sat down slowly, then looked at her calmly.

Zhang Mulan sat down. She doesn't apply fat powder on her face, but her complexion is white and tender.

I saw that she took a deep breath and said calmly: "Shizun should have told you about the envoy of the high-level academy who came to give you the entrance book, with your plan, there must be a chance that you will accept it." ”

Lin Heng bowed his head calmly and said softly: "This silk book is a send-off to me, and I will go to the royal city in three years." ”

Hearing this, the expression on her face was mixed, and she was immediately full of emotion.

She stared at him with a pair of clear eyes, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "I used to think that it was impossible to cross from the Xuanyu to the Great Rank Academy, but now it seems that I am lonely and short-sighted. ”

"Senior brother, I believe that you can enter the Great Order Academy within ten years, and you must seize this only way to escape the clan dispute. ”

"In just a few months, you've grown to the point where you're on your own. From the Jinwu ring, you showed your edge, at that time I already knew that you were not a thing in the pool, until this five-vein tribute meeting, you showed your prominence again, all this seems to be reasonable. ”

Lin Heng listened to her meaningful words, not like the senior sister he thought was not good at talking and praising others.

I feel that there is something to say, and people are different from the past.

At this time, Lin Heng seemed to be smiling, and asked tentatively, "Senior sister has something to ask for?"

Hearing this, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, and she stared at him like autumn water, and after looking at it for a while, she said, "I do have something I want to ask you, and only you can complete it." ”

Hearing this, Lin Heng was secretly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect her to say it so untactfully.

Lin Heng said with a smile: "What does Senior Sister want to do? ”

At this time, Zhang Mulan suddenly stood up, wandered around the courtyard, and said as she walked: "When I was fifteen years old, I was brought back to the City Lord's Mansion by Shizun from the streets of Kunlun, and I still vaguely remember those days of wandering and begging, but my memory is only at the age of fourteen, what happened before the age of fourteen, and why I woke up in a certain street in the city, I don't know all this." ”

Her eyes were confused, and she stared at him blankly, her eyes were devoid, and there was only an infinite void, as if her soul had been hollowed out.

She wore a very elegant dress, and her face showed a very melancholy look, and her plump face had turned pale from the past, and even her eye circles were a little blue!

At this time, her mind was like a mess, and she was in a state of troubles that she could not get rid of. It feels like a lonely grass under the vast Gobi stones.

She clenched her hands, but she had no strength! She felt that there was fog and water around her, the wind blew the willow leaves, and the sound of the crows that came back from the evening made her heartstrings more and more depressed!

She spat out like beads and said slowly: "Until the middle of this year, some scattered memories slowly appeared in my mind, and these fragmentary memories must have come from before the age of fourteen. ”

Suddenly, she was so excited that her hands trembled, and she said, "What surprised and delighted me was that a thousand-foot gate appeared in my mind, and the sign hanging on the gate said the word Underworld Gate!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng frowned slightly, "Underworld Gate?"

His mood was like the deep water in an ancient pool, raising waves.

It seems that what she entrusted was not a simple matter.

Lin Heng suddenly sat upright and listened carefully to her words.

At this time, Zhang Mulan's two tightly locked eyebrows were like burnt charcoal, and she said again: "I have checked all the historical records, and there is finally a clue, but this clue also discourages me." ”

She was caught in a contradiction, her eyebrows tightly locked, and she sighed and entangled in the courtyard for a long time, her lips moved, her eyes flickered, and her facial expression was very melancholy.

Seeing this, Lin Heng looked at her with a suspicious gaze, what kind of clues could make her so worried?

At this time, she was silent, and said again: "According to the history books, there is a river that has been well preserved from ancient times, called the River Styx. This river is closely connected to the boundary river, but it is a terrifying ghost river. ”

"Ghost River?" Lin Heng was secretly surprised and frowned.

Although the world is diverse, there are only three ethnic groups active on the continent today. They are the human race, the demon race, and the sea race. Terrans are mainly found in

In ancient times, there were many races, and all races fought with each other, but now they have disappeared, and many races have disappeared on the continent. According to legend, it was a natural disaster that caused the demise of all races, and it is also rumored to be a man-made disaster.

People are the same as the clouds, and the three of them have become tigers, and the truth of history is no longer possible.

The current ten thousand clans are just clans.

The ghost river represents mystery, and mysteries must involve strange things, and other races will be involved.

At this time, Zhang Mulan said again: "It is said that whenever it is ugly, a flat boat will appear on the Styx River, and the flat boat will emit green fire, accompanied by a terrible wind, like the sound of a ghost crying wolf." ”

Hearing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but ask, "Is this related to the Underworld Gate in Senior Sister's mind?"

With a cloud of sorrow hanging between her eyebrows, she said meaningfully: "Someone has seen the river through the Styx when the ghost is crying wolf, and there is a huge black gate looming into the sky, and the description of the gate in the book is very similar to the gate of the underworld in my mind. ”

Lin Heng frowned, put the thumb of his left hand under his lips and moved back and forth, thinking. Pouring for a moment, he asked puzzledly: "What do you mean, senior sister, the gate of the underworld is on the river through the Styx?"

"Not sure. ”

Her face was white and worried.

I saw that she sighed lightly, and her tightly locked thick eyebrows were depressed, as if she was pressing thousands of things in her heart.

Lin Heng looked suspicious and asked again, "Then Senior Sister wants to ask me to verify whether there is an Underworld River on this Styx?"

Hearing this, she suddenly burst into flames, and said in a low voice: "Not only that, but I also want to help me find out my life experience." ”

"Background?"

In an instant, Zhang Mulan took out a palm-sized dark black token from her storage jade pendant, the token looked ordinary and nothing special, except for the two words engraved on the token that instantly attracted his attention.

Through the underworld, these two words are engraved on the token.

Lin Heng looked at the token in her hand and asked, "This is..."

"The Order of the Dead has been with me since I woke up from the streets. She was calm and spoke in a very sweet and clear voice.

Hearing this, he looked at her in disbelief, hesitated for a long time, and was full of doubts. He took the order and looked at it for a while, a little hesitant, his eyes rolling a few times on her face, as if looking for some answer.

He twisted his brows and pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, but his heart was still beating a drum.

In the end, he couldn't help but say, "Why didn't Senior Sister go in person?"

This kind of thing is only appropriate to do it yourself, after all, it involves his own life experience, and he is an outsider after all, so it is inappropriate.

Zhang Mulan shook his head and explained: "There is not a single grass growing within a hundred miles of the Styx River, and a monk over twenty years old walks within a hundred miles of the river, and instantly turns into an old man in his old age, and after ten breaths, there are no bones left!"

Hearing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but be taken aback, "So weird?!"

It seems that this river Styx is not a mortal river, and it is no wonder that it is called a ghost river.

Zhang Mulan's face was solemn, and he said softly: "Even the powerhouses of the fairy realm don't dare to get involved, but you can know the weirdness of the Styx, maybe there is really an underworld gate." ”

With that, she slowly unfastened her clothes, revealing her collarbone. Because the neckline was opened very low by her, revealing her breasts wrapped in white cloth, as well as shocking scars, large and small scars seemed to cover her body, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

At the same time, a red flower birthmark on his neck attracted his attention.

Looking at the flower, he was frightened for some reason, just like a small boat jolting in the torrent of the struggle between reason and emotion.

For a moment, I was terrified, and I felt like I was about to be swallowed up by darkness. Everything around him seemed to swallow him up, and it seemed like endless darkness was facing him.

Seeing this, he hurriedly looked away, and then stabilized his mind.

After a while, he slowly came to his senses, and couldn't help but gasp, and looked at the flower again with palpitations.

Still clung to inexplicable fear, his forehead was cold, and all the hair on his head stood on end.

He hurriedly turned his head, and his face suddenly became solemn.

At this time, Zhang Mulan pulled up her clothes and looked at him with a suspicious look.

When Lin Heng saw her dressed, he looked at her calmly, his face was solemn, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he said, "Senior sister, what is the origin of the safflower birthmark on your chest, it can be terrifying. ”

When she heard this, she looked surprised and said, "Shocking?!" I don't know, this is the first time I have shown people this flower-like birthmark, and it is also a flower that has never been recorded. Little junior brother, I've scared you. ”

Lin Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, senior sister, you also didn't mean to." However, this birthmark is very weird and can confuse people's minds, and if it weren't for my firm mind, I might have become a madman by now. Therefore, the senior sister should not expose this birthmark at will, so as not to hurt the innocent. ”

With that, his bottomless eyes were shooting at the blade, staring warily at her chest.

What is the origin of this flower?, he lowered his head and pondered, his dark eyes flashing dark green from time to time.

Coming back to his senses in an instant, Lin Hengwen looked at her elegantly and said softly, "What is the purpose of Senior Sister showing me this birthmark?"

Hearing this, Zhang Mulan's eyes were smart, and there was a heroic spirit in her beauty, and she said softly: "I thought this was an ordinary birthmark, but those fragmentary memories in my brain have traces of it, and it must be very important to me." ”

Lin Heng bowed his head and said: "It seems that Senior Sister's life experience is inseparable from this weird safflower birthmark." ”

Suddenly, Lin Heng asked, "Does Master know about these things?"

She shook her head, a very melancholy look on her face, and replied, "I didn't intend to tell him that I didn't want him to work hard anymore. ”

Hearing this, Lin Heng understands her, this matter may be very involved, and it is very likely that there is a family behind her, and where to go and how to choose is the choice between her and Shizun.

Perhaps, she chose to investigate alone, because she didn't want him to make a choice, because she knew him, and he would definitely let him go. Therefore, the choice is still in her hands, but with less interference from others, she can think alone.

Lin Heng said: "Senior sister, have you ever been to the Underworld River, maybe the weirdness in the river is useless to you." ”

Zhang Mulan heard the words and slowly stretched out her right hand. I saw that when she flipped her hand, her index finger disappeared, but the break was still there.

Seeing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but be taken aback and frowned.

Her face was solemn and she sighed lightly, "This finger is the price for me to cross the line." ”

"This..."

Lin Heng's two sword eyebrows squeezed towards the center of his eyebrows, and his eyebrows wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", looking worried.

His face was pale from the spasms of his heart, which seemed to have stopped for a moment. Then he swallowed two or three mouthfuls of saliva, as if his throat was dry.

She said: "The strangeness of the River Styx must be guarding against outsiders, of course, it may not only be guarded against outsiders. Only people under the age of twenty can enter and exit normally, but few people under the age of twenty can get close to the River Styx. ”

Hearing this, Lin Heng seemed to be smiling, and suddenly said seriously: "Senior sister, do you believe that I can go to the Styx?"

She said without hesitation: "I wasn't sure about you before. Now you, I'm sure. ”

She added, "However, the River Styx can corrupt almost everything. ”

"It is said that a strong man from the Wonderland once forcibly broke in, and although he approached the bank of the Styx River, when he wanted to go to the sky above the river, he couldn't do it with all his might. And when he wanted to cross the river with his body, within a few breaths, his flesh and blood directly turned into a handful of loess. ”

"I don't embarrass you, junior brother, if you don't want to, senior sister doesn't force it, after all, there are dangers lurking there, I don't know what amazing dangers there are, and I don't want you to take this risk for me. And after so many years, it doesn't matter who I was seventy years ago, I have only one life experience now, and that is the second disciple of Hu Jixiao, the lord of Kunlun City, and the second young master of Kunlun, and also the commander of the Jin Army. ”

In the moonlight, he saw her slightly raised heroic face, her voice was soft and tactful, her demeanor was charming, coupled with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her complexion was white and greasy, she was also an outstanding beauty.

Seeing her eyes full of regret and joy, and her laughter was clear and bright, he had a choice and decided to challenge this unknown danger.

Danger is also opportunity, maybe this is his fate.

He smiled lightly, and without hesitation, said: "This is the first time that my senior sister has asked me to do something, and as a junior brother, I have no reason to refuse." ”
