Chapter 101: Distress

The miasma was overwhelming, as if in a desert blown by a strong wind, and as far as the eye could see, only a few weeds were crooked and slanted not far away, and further away it was only a dusk.

Not only that, but the surrounding environment seems to be ordinary, black water, weeds, dead wood, and nothing else, coupled with this miasma that covers the sky and the sun, this is simply a labyrinth with nowhere to go.

The Yin Envoy said slowly in the air: "This black water pool is not only this miasma, it is not only this endless mud like an abyss that wants people's lives, nor is it the snakes and insects around you who are eyeing you, and this directionless environment is also a vicious wolf that eats people and does not spit out bones! If it weren't for me looking for that touch of yin qi to show you the way to the emerald stream, you would have been difficult to find it in it for the rest of your life." ”

Cheng Ru was extremely disgusted with the environment around this black water pool, and he didn't like the Yin Envoy's lofty words, so he sneered, "If it weren't for you, we would have entered the underworld from the White Fall City of that Jiang Country!"

The Yin Envoy sneered, "Do you really mean that it is so easy to enter the underworld from that Bailuo City? That Bailuo City only attracts Yin Souls, if there is no token, the living will be killed if they are close to it!"

Cheng Ru frowned, "Could it be that there are only these two places in this world where you can enter the underworld?" ”

"Naturally, there are other places. The Yin envoy replied in a deep voice: "Bailuo City in Huangtian Jingzhou, Wuwu Valley in Yunling Shengzhou, Death Mountain in Shangqian Mozhou, and even Penglai Qingzhou There is a small island, called Feixian Island, these four places are the places where each continent enters the underworld, but there may be other places, just like the black water pool I found, but who knows? Could it be that you still run thousands of miles to Shengzhou, Mozhou, and Qingzhou?"

At the end, the Yin envoy said: "Besides, even if you go to Shengzhou, Mozhou and Qingzhou, you may not be able to enter the underworld, that Wuwu Valley is simply not accessible to the living, once you enter, there will be a great power to kill you with a sword, just like the city lord of Bailuo City who is guarding Bailuo City, but you can kill more decisively, and you don't want the city lord of Bailuo to give you a warning." As long as you step into the mountain of death in Mozhou, you are inherently isolated from any breath, and you are an ordinary person when you enter it, can you block the attacks of countless ghosts on the mountain? and the Feixian Island, no one can find that place at all, only the ghosts can follow the call of the underworld to arrive. Someone once caught a ghost and followed the ghost to find the Flying Immortal Island, but there was no news. A few years later, his body was found on a desert island, shriveled and breathless. You must know that person is a monk of the Divine Power Realm!"

After listening to the Yin Envoy's words, Cheng Ru was silent, and sighed after a long time, "It seems that we can only go from this place to the underworld!"

"Isn't it? Now you don't think I'm hurting you!"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, "Talk less nonsense and do more!"

The smugness on the Yin Envoy's face instantly dissipated, and he only snorted, and then floated into the sky, looking left and right, "This way!"

。。。。。。

The bamboo raft traveled very slowly, because the silt at the bottom of the water was too soft, and the bamboo poles could not borrow strength at the bottom of the water, and Jiang Lili still felt that his group had not walked long for several hours in a row!

After calling the Yin envoy, Jiang Lili shouted, "How long will it take for us to get to that Cuibi Creek?"

The Yin envoy slowly calculated the distance, "It's about seven or eight days!"

Jiang Lili breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he should be able to arrive in time. But the Yin envoy spoke again, "I'm counting the time you are traveling on the bamboo raft now, if you really want to rush to the Cuibi Creek, it will take a day or two more." ”

Jiang Lili frowned, "Could it be that we can't hold a bamboo raft in the depths of this black pool?"

Before the Yin envoy could make a sound, Cheng Ru said: "From the place where we first came here, the water is getting shallower and shallower, and it is roughly half a zhang deep. ”

The Yin Envoy echoed Cheng Cheng's words: "That's right, the more you rush to the center of the black pool, the shallower the black water will become, and when you reach the center of the black pool, this wide black water lake will be divided by all kinds of earth bags, and finally it will become several small pools mixed with silt. At that time, of course, the raft could no longer be used as a tool for traveling. ”

Cheng Ru was shocked, "In that case, how can we go to that Cuibi Creek? Who can rush up to this sludge?"

Jiang Lili also had a gloomy face, and looked up at the Yin Envoy.

The Yin envoy said: "There is less water, and this silt is not so soft, one of you is holding a bamboo pole to explore the way, and walking to the place where the soil is compacted, you should not fall into it!"

Jiang Lili slashed a water snake that rushed over without knowing whether it was dead or alive into two pieces, and looked at its body being dragged into the water by an unknown creature under the black water, and then looked at the Yin Envoy and said coldly: "I hope what you said is not wrong, otherwise you will be miserable, I won't lie to you!"

Yin made his face change for a while, and finally smiled, "How can I lie to you? We have been together for so long, and we are also grasshoppers on a rope, I will not lie to you myself!"

Jiang Lili only snorted coldly and did not make a sound.

After driving for another hour, he saw that the sky around him was overcast. Although there is no distinction between the sun and the moon in this black pool, there is still a faint light. Now, when the sun goes down, the colors around it sink very quickly. It's like the face of a superior person after being accused in person, as black as ink.

The Yin envoy held a torch in his hand and said to Jiang Lili and the others: "You two should stop here first, the Black Water Pool is too dangerous at night, and many poisonous insects are foraging at night." ”

Cheng Ru's bamboo raft that had lasted all day was already too tired to work, and he wanted to lie down and rest for a while, but where could he lie on the bamboo raft? If his clothes were wet by this black water, it would be really bad, not to mention what poison this black water was, and the black water pool tonight was as cold as the winter of October, and he was afraid that he would suffer from the wind and cold at that time.

There are really not many clothes that can be changed now!

At this time, Cheng Ru looked around with a torch, feeling as if he was on a flat boat in the calm sea, and he hurriedly said: "Hey, where do we sleep at night?

The Yin envoy did not answer yes, but saw that the light of the fire became smaller and smaller, and finally it was obscured by the thick miasma, and it became a mass of darkness.

Cheng Ru couldn't help but wonder if the Yin Envoy should be running away!

Swept this thought out of his mind, Cheng Ru looked around again, and moved closer to Jiang Lili for a while, and only then did he feel a little more stable in his heart.

After a while, he saw another glimmer of light in the night, and Cheng Ru hurriedly waved the torch in his hand, "This way, this way!"

The Yin envoy stopped on the bamboo raft, "There is a small dirt bag not far ahead, and we can spend the night in that place tonight!"

Jiang Lili nodded, and rushed the bamboo raft towards the place pointed by the Yin Envoy.

The Yin envoy said that it was not far away, but in fact it had been a quarter of an hour, and he saw a small overgrown earthen bag in front of him, and above this black pool was as precious as an island in the middle of the sea.

Jiang Lili drove the bamboo raft to the side of the small dirt bag, and used the bamboo pole to test the texture of the dirt bag, which was soft.

Cheng Ru squatted down and shone the earthen bag with a torch, and saw several poisonous scorpions at the root of the weeds smelling the fire and running away in a hurry, and immediately felt a chill in his heart, "How can I sleep here, and what if it stings me at night?"

Jiang Lili also followed: "The soil of this dirt bag is soft, although it is much stronger than silt, but it is also a commodity that will fall into it if you step on it, how can you go ashore?"

The Yin envoy said: "Isn't there still a lot of unused bamboo? Tie it into a bamboo raft and spread it on it to settle down, as for this poisonous insect, didn't that little girl give you the Gu that has been repelling insects? Just take it out." However, I still recommend lighting a fire and sprinkling some insect repellent powder at this time, because there are many more poisonous insects in the depths of the Black Water Pool than here!"

"In that case, we have no choice but to act like this," Jiang Lili nodded, "It's just that if we make a bamboo raft, it is better to spread our bamboo raft directly on it, and it also saves the matter of fixing this bamboo raft and floating away." ”

The Yin Envoy was stunned, "But this place is surrounded by mud, how can you pull this bamboo raft out from under your feet and spread it on top of this dirt bag?"

Jiang Lili smiled and looked at the Yin Envoy, "Then I can only trouble you!"

The Yin envoy was stunned, and then shook his head helplessly, "Come on, let's do it, I'll be a little tired, but I don't know how much effort it will cost me to throw you and the bamboo raft on this dirt bag." ”

As he spoke, the Yin Envoy lowered his body and grabbed the edge of the bamboo raft, screamed violently, lifted the bamboo raft from the water, and threw it on the dirt bag before panting heavily.

Cheng Ru never expected that one day he would be so relaxed and happy "down-to-earth", hehe laughed and then turned his head to look at the appearance of the Yin envoy, and said disdainfully: "Isn't it just to lift the bamboo raft?"

"What do you know?" the Yin envoy scolded, "I am the body of the Yin Soul, and it takes not my strength to take the things of the Yang World, but the cultivation of Yin Qi!

Cheng Ru was suspicious: "Really?"

"What did I lie to you?!"

Cheng Ru stared at the Yin Envoy carefully and looked at him twice, knowing that he was not lying, and then laughed, "Then you will be tired, and you will need to carry the bamboo raft into the water tomorrow morning!"

The Yin Envoy snorted coldly, "When I met you, I really fell into my eight lifetimes of blood mold!"

。。。

A fire was lit, and the weeds on the bag were burned, and the insects fled into the black water in a hurry, and for a moment the bag looked a little clean!

Eating some dry food at random, Cheng Ru asked Jiang Lili to take out a small quilt from the hidden bag and wrap it around himself, and when he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly saw a scorpion in front of him that was not afraid of fire slowly crawling towards him, and his heart suddenly became agitated, and his sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and he called loudly, "Jiang Lili, have you sprinkled insect repellent powder?"

"It's sprinkled!" Jiang Lili replied lazily.

"Then why are there still bugs?"

Jiang Lili glanced at it, picked up the tiger knife and pierced the scorpion at will, then picked it on the tip of the knife and stretched it into the flames, watching the scorpion that was not yet dead squeak and scream, in order to have some fun.

Cheng Ru couldn't bear it, "Kill it, kill it, what are you doing torturing it?"

"Shut up and sleep!" Jiang Lili casually threw the scorpion into the black water and replied to Cheng Ru.

Cheng Ru sighed, sleepiness hit, but he felt that after he closed his eyes, there were all insects around him staring at him, so he quickly opened it again

Eyes scanned around.

Cheng Ru didn't sleep peacefully this night, and the two dark circles on her face the next day made Jiang Lili startled.

After eating a few pieces of dry food at will, he still hurried on the bamboo raft unhurriedly, although Jiang Lili was a little anxious in his heart, but he was not in a hurry.

It seems to have been in place all along, and the surrounding environment has not changed much, it is still a dim miasma, black water, dirt bags, dead wood, weeds, poisonous insects, and nothing else.

The day's journey made the black water shallower again, and the sky became dark, but the untimely thing was that there was no trace of dirt bags around.

The envoy knew that he was only afraid that he would be tired, so he said, "I will first find out if there is a suitable place to settle around, and you light torches and do not move here." ”

"I know, I know, you can go quickly!" Cheng Ru snorted weakly.

The Yin envoy disappeared in an instant, and Cheng Ru squatted on the bamboo raft for a long time and suddenly said, "How do I feel that this bamboo raft is shaking again?"

Jiang Lili was stunned, staring at the torch in Cheng Ruyi's hand, the flame was slightly biased to his side, "Oh no, the wind is blowing!"

As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew, and I only felt that my nose was filled with a fishy smell, and I felt that the bamboo raft under my feet was blown away by the wind. Jiang Lili picked up the bamboo pole and stuck it in the mud, trying to stabilize the bamboo raft. But the silt underneath was too soft for the bamboo poles to be inserted into it to do little at all, and the raft was still slowly drifting away.

The wind intensified, and the chill was especially evident in the wind, and the torch in Cheng Ru's hand was extinguished after a few blows of the wind.

Jiang Lili was shocked in his heart, if the torch was extinguished, how could the Yin Envoy find himself, so he shouted: "Quickly light that torch!"

Cheng Ru was full of anxiety, holding the torch under his armpit, holding two flints in his hand and beating wildly, only to see that the flint kept burning sparks, but the torch was still not lit!

"I want to light it too, but I don't know why this torch can't be lit at all, I'm afraid it's because the wind is too strong!"

Jiang Lili clenched his teeth, only to feel that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the bamboo raft was drifting faster and faster. If this momentum continues, this bamboo raft that is not yet a murder will float to some unknown place, and I don't know if the Yin Envoy can find himself!

A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, Jiang Lili raised the Tiger Sword, squatted down at Cheng Ru and slashed out towards the wind, "First knife!"

The gale rose from Jiang Lili's back and swooped out towards the direction of the wind.

The two winds rolled together, and the bamboo raft swayed wildly under these two winds, and even stopped the momentum.

Cheng Ru was about to be thrown out of the bamboo raft, so he hurriedly lay down, clasped the bamboo raft with both hands, and howled uncontrollably, "Jiang Lili, be careful, slow down! I'm going to die!"

The two winds are still entangled, and the bamboo raft is like a fallen leaf in the waves, and finally it is crazy to turn around at the junction of the two winds.

Under this force, Jiang Lili could only lean down and grab the edge of the bamboo raft to stabilize his body, Cheng Ru was even more uncomfortable, he was already unconscious, but now he only felt a surge in his chest, but he didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that the moment he spit it out, his body would instinctively unload his strength, and he would be thrown hundreds of steps away at that time!

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Ru only felt that the bamboo raft under his feet slowly stabilized, and suddenly lay on the edge of the bamboo raft, and spit out a mouthful of filth into the black water, hysterical.

Jiang Lili also felt that her mind was in chaos at this time, and she took a sharp breath to calm her spirit, but she forgot that now she was full of miasma, and a fishy smell suddenly rushed into her nasal cavity, threatening to completely stun Jiang Lili's mind!

Cheng Ru vomited upside down, vomited all the things in his stomach, and finally only retched for a while. Spit out, his legs and feet were weak, and he didn't care if the black water seeping out of the cracks in the bamboo raft would wet his clothes, so he lay on the ground and slowly crawled towards Jiang Lili, muttering in his mouth: "Water, water, water... ”

Jiang Lili shook his head vigorously, took out the kettle from the hidden bag and handed it to Cheng Rusi

After Cheng Ru took the kettle, the cow took a sip, cleaned the filth in his mouth, took a sip, and finally handed the kettle to Jiang Lili, lying on the bamboo raft and panting loudly, "Grandma's, this is too exciting,,,!

Jiang Lili didn't have time to rest at this time, he slowly stood up again, sensing the trend of the bamboo raft under his feet.

Although the wind has stopped, the water is still undulating, and the raft is slowly sliding with the water.

The bamboo pole that was used as a boat support was long gone, and Jiang Lili took out a penny that had been repaired a long time ago from the hiding bag and inserted it into the silt. He took out a new torch, lit it, and looked at his surroundings by the faint light of the torch.

Sure enough, it was the road of the sky, I saw a small dirt bag not far away, so I used a bamboo pole to support the bamboo raft and slowly moved to the edge of the small earth bag, only a few bamboo poles were inserted on the soil bag, and the bamboo raft was tied to the bamboo pole with a rope, and I only felt my eyelids sink after making sure that the bamboo raft did not move at all.

In a blink of an eye, Cheng Ru had already fallen asleep on the bamboo raft.
