Chapter 105: Cui Bi Creek
Although the journey ahead is not extremely sinister, it is extremely easy to disgust people, and for Jiang Lili, this is indeed the case.
It's just that Jiang Lili is disgusting not the black and smelly swamp on this land, nor the strange poisonous insects hiding in various crevices, but this guy.
It was only a short distance, and Cheng Ruye's two calves were stained with a thick layer of silt, and after a little further walking, Cheng Ruye's body was also stinking like a beggar crawling out of a stinky ditch. Thanks to Cheng Ru is a monk and has no hair, otherwise Jiang Lili is afraid that she will be extremely annoyed and slap Cheng Ru to death!
But Cheng Ru doesn't care about it now, even if there is more dirt on his body, he just laughs, muttering two sentences in his mouth, empty is color, color is empty, and even after rolling in the mud, he is happy.
Jiang Lili was wondering at that time, was this guy's nose planted in the stinky quagmire just now, and was directly smoked by the stench? Couldn't the smell on his body be smelled? Sure enough, he was born to make a material called Hanako.
After walking in this quagmire for two days in a row, Jiang Lili looked at the two remaining miasma avoidance Gu in the silver-edged box, and finally couldn't help but look up and ask, "Hey, how long is Cuibi Creek?"
The Yin envoy only replied: "It's almost fast, don't be in a hurry, you want to go to the underworld quickly, I want to do it even more!"
Cheng Ru opened his mouth, "Eh, why do you say this Cuibi Creek is called Cuibi Creek? Why is it not called Cuihua Creek? Why is it not called Bishui Creek? Why is it just called Cui Bi Creek? Where does this come from? Could it be that there is something in it?"
The Yin Envoy has also been extremely disgusted with Cheng Ru recently, even if he can't smell it at all, just looking at Cheng Ru is appearance makes him feel disgusting, and he skimmed his face, "You can shut up, you!"
Cheng Ru was not annoyed, so he only laughed twice happily, and said that it was really a big tree.
Jiang Lili turned his head to look at Cheng Ru is and then quickly turned his head, could it be that Cheng Ru was the brain, and even his nose was smoked together?
He drove the bamboo raft across a small river with black water and went ashore again, and the ground on the ground was much harder, and he really couldn't leave footprints on it unless he stepped on it.
Jiang Lili felt the difference as soon as she stepped on it, glanced left and right, and found that the miasma around her seemed to be much thinner, and the grass and trees on the ground were also showing a hint of new green, and she immediately felt happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that we have already arrived at the Cuibi Creek?"
The Yin Envoy nodded, "That Cuibi Creek is ahead." This Cuibi Creek is a clear water river in the black water pool, and it is precisely because of the moisture of this river that this place is like this. ”
After hearing this, Cheng Ru hurriedly jumped ashore from the bamboo raft, stepped on the ground with both feet, and laughed, "Grandma's, Lao Tzu has finally walked out!"
Jiang Lili and Yin glanced at each other, and they didn't pay attention to Cheng Ruyi, so they only walked forward slowly.
The grass and trees on this land are the color of new green, and I thought that the more I went to Cuibi Creek, the more green the grass and trees became, but where did I know that the further I went, the grass and trees turned yellow.
Jiang Lili frowned slightly, looked around carefully for a long time, and then asked, "Why is there such a scene here? Could it be that there is also miasma poison in that Cuibi Creek?"
"There is no poison, but this Cuibi Creek is extremely cold, as cold as the winter of October. The grass and trees near Cuibi Creek should not be able to stand this severe cold, so it presents such a scene. ”
Jiang Lili nodded and did not ask any more questions.
After only passing through a few trees that were not so lush, the Yin Envoy turned around and said to Cheng Ru: "Don't you want to know why this Cuibi Creek is called Cui Bi Creek?
Cheng Ru was stunned, and after hearing the words of the Yin Envoy clearly, he hurriedly spread his legs and ran forward, and his body of mud splashed like raindrops in all directions.
Jiang Lili scolded coldly, and after blinking, he heard Cheng Ru scream, and hurriedly quickened his pace, tearing away a few weeds in front of him, slightly stunned.
I saw a clear stream lying in front of me, verdant, but if this was the case, it was not surprising at all, but the stream was calm and waveless, and there was no flow of water at all. It's more like a piece of emerald amber than a stream!
Verdant, jasper, is this the origin of Emerald Creek?
Cheng Ru still felt that something was wrong, squatted down and poked out a finger towards the emerald stream, but just touched the water, Cheng Ru screamed again, "Why is your grandma's so cold?"
The ripples rippled, and in the blink of an eye, calm was restored.
Such as jade.
Jiang Lili was stunned, thinking that even if the Yin envoy had said that this Cuibi Creek was cold, he shouldn't make such a fuss! But he really couldn't see Cheng Ruyi's face, and Jiang Lili didn't know if Cheng Ru was really frozen or cheating, so he also cautiously put his hand into this Cuibi Creek, and suddenly felt a cold air coming from the stream to his body, and his body instinctively retracted his hand.
Jiang Lili was still secretly frightened, looking at this calm stream silently.
Cheng Ru muttered, "Where is this stream, this is clearly a piece of ice! What kind of thing can give birth to such a strange stream? It's too scary!"
Saying that, Cheng Ru was suddenly startled in his heart, and exclaimed, "It's good now, me."
How do you take a bath? If your grandmother bathes in this stream, he will have to be frozen to death by this water!"
Throwing a look at the Yin envoy who didn't care about him, Jiang Lili asked, "Now that we have arrived at this Cuibi River, how should we go to the underworld?"
The Yin Envoy pointed to the end of Cuibi Creek and said, "Over there!"
Jiang Lili kicked Cheng Ru is kick, said a word, and then slowly walked forward along Cuibi Creek.
It is also strange to say that although the water of this Cuibi Creek is extremely cold, it is not even the slightest chill when walking on its bank!
Cheng Ru was chattering closely behind Jiang Lili, and smelled the smell of his body from time to time, and turned his head to look at this Cui Bixi, especially unwilling.
Jiang Lili felt a little funny, and didn't turn his head, "Didn't you say that emptiness is color and emptiness? Don't you care about the stinky dirt on your body? Why did you start complaining now?"
Cheng Ru snorted, "Where do you say that? We are all acquaintances who can't be more familiar, and I don't feel disgusted with this smell anymore, it's okay if my body is dirty and stained with some dirt, right?" But when I enter the underworld, if I still look dirty, how can I save face?"
The Yin envoy turned around and quipped: "Don't worry, after entering the underworld, the ghosts are only attracted by the yang energy on your body, where will there be kung fu to care if your body stinks or not?"
Cheng Ru pouted and didn't bother to speak.
I thought that after arriving at Cuibi Creek, the underworld would be just around the corner, but I didn't want to keep walking along this Cuibi Creek for several hours without hearing the Yin Envoy's call to stop, and I couldn't see the source of Cuibi Creek.
The sky was dark, Jiang Lili took out the silver-edged box again, looked at the miasma Gu in his eyes, looked up at the sky again, and called the Yin Envoy, "How long will it take to get to the underworld?"
The Yin Envoy rose to the sky and glanced into the distance, "I don't know. ”
"Don't understand?" Jiang Lili's face sank.
The Yin envoy was a little helpless, Jiang Lili was usually fine, but if the things he cared about were the slightest bit unsatisfactory, he would lose his temper. I had no choice but to lower my body and explain, "I also followed the call of the underworld to determine the approximate location, where can I know where this passage into the underworld is?"
"Haven't you been here dozens of times before?
The Yin envoy motioned to Jiang Lili to look forward, backward, left and right, and then glanced at the undisturbed Cuibi Creek, "I always feel a little weird in this place, you see that although there are plants and trees around, they are not conspicuous at all, or they are the same. In addition, this stream has been undisturbed for thousands of years, and there is no change at all, not to mention that the shore is completely covered by weeds, how can I remember the passage between the underworld and the sun every time?"
"To tell you the truth, the first time I came to the Yang World through here, I recorded that the passage was twenty inches in front of a willow tree with a crooked neck, but when I came back, it was at the foot of a poplar tree!
Jiang Lili looked at it, and was slightly shocked in his heart. Originally, he thought there was something strange next to the stream, but he couldn't say it. After listening to the Yin envoy's words, he suddenly woke up. It turns out that although the trees next to the stream are chaotic and have no rules, every half an hour I feel that the scenery here comes back into my eyes.
The gloomy envoy said in a deep voice: "I feel that this place is a puzzle, this Cuibi Creek is simply a circular stream, but some kind of maze makes us see this Emerald Creek as a straight river that spreads to the sky. And we've been circling around this stream as we walk along this green stream!"
Cheng Ru listened to the conversation between the two and then objected, "But don't you have the underworld calling to you? If this Cuibi Creek is a circle, then why is the guidance of the underworld always ahead?"
"That's what I've been wondering about!" replied the Yin Envoy.
Jiang Lili frowned, "What if the passage keeps changing?"
The Yin Envoy was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said, "The first time I went to the underworld through here, I just arrived at Cuibi Creek and found that the passage was in front of me. The second time, I walked along this emerald stream for half a month before entering the underworld!"
At the end, the envoy reminded again: "I am a ghost, I am flying! I have been flying along this green stream for half a month!"
Jiang Lili looked solemn, "You mean, we can see this passage as a creature, if he is in a good mood, let you in, if he is in a bad mood, teach you to keep circling around him?"
Cheng Ru shook his head, "I don't think that's the case, I think it's too much to see it as a living being." We can see it this way, this is really a maze, and this emerald stream is really round. And this passage between the underworld and the yang world is opened according to time, and after a period of time, you can enter it, and after an equal period of time, you can enter it again!"
"But what does the underworld say about my call?" the Yin envoy objected a little to Cheng Ruye's statement, "This call has always been there. If this passage was closed, I wouldn't have heard the call at all. ”
Cheng Ruye frowned, the mud on his face evaporated over time and turned into mud spots, followed by Cheng Ruye's brow, and a lot of mud fell from his face.
But it can be like this, no
Concerned, he raised his head after a while, "What if this passage has always existed, but it only needs certain conditions to pass through?"
A light suddenly lit up in the Yin Envoy's eyes.
"We can boldly assume that this passage has always existed, but there is only one door! And every once in a while, a certain condition will be triggered, and when this condition is triggered, the change will also be when the door is opened! And the shortest time is half a month!"
"There's another point!" Jiang Lili held up a finger, "The Yin envoy said that this call has always been in front of him, but if this Cui Bi Creek is round, wouldn't it staggered with this passage after turning around, isn't that the call sound in the rear?"
Cheng Ru said: "Then this passage is really moving." ”
Several people were silent for a long time, still unable to figure out the key to it.
At the end of the day, Cheng suddenly asked, "By the way, this is the first time you have entered the underworld through here?"
The Yin envoy replied: "I have been to the Yang World three times in total, and this is the third time. ”
"Did you follow the yin qi along Cuibi Creek the first two times?"
The Yin Envoy nodded, "Naturally. ”
"Didn't stop?"
"No, I'm ghostly, and I don't need to sleep at night. ”
Cheng Ru frowned again, and after a while, he asked, "How did you know that you could enter the underworld through that passage?"
The Yin envoy was stunned, and replied straightly: "As I walked along this Cuibi Creek, I suddenly felt that the call of the underworld to me was amplified dozens of times, and there was a suction force that sucked me into the underworld. Then he saw a dim whirlpool appear in the middle of this emerald stream, and the call came from this whirlpool, and as soon as he plunged into it, he was in the underworld. ”
Cheng Ru turned his head to look at this Cuibi Creek and muttered, "You said that if this Cuibi Creek has been flowing, can we see it?"
Jiang Lili and Yin made the two wake up suddenly.
This Cuibi Creek is not alarmed, and there is no ripple on the surface. It's more like a piece of jasper than a stream of water. When I first saw this stream, I thought it was a stagnant water. But if it's really babbling, who can see it?
"If it's getting late today, let's rest where we are. Jiang Lili said in a deep voice: "If it's really moving... ”
The three nodded in unison.
So he built a bonfire, sat around this bonfire, Cheng Ru finally took off the set of clothes that were too dirty to be dirty, if it weren't for the fact that the stream was too cold, Cheng Ru really wanted to jump in and take a bath.
yelling that his body was too uncomfortable, he asked Jiang Lili if there was any extra water in his hidden bag, and wanted to wipe his body. Jiang Lili glanced at Cheng Rus, "There is only water left to drink, if you want to wipe your body, isn't there a stream there?"
Cheng Ru had a bitter face, "It's so cold!"
Jiang Lili threw down a water bladder, "Fill it up, I have a pot here, wouldn't it be good to heat it up?"
Cheng Ru was overjoyed, and after saying a clever plan, he ran to the surface of the water with a water bladder, whistling very happily. But not long after, Cheng Ruyi's whistle suddenly stopped, and suddenly let out a strange cry, "My God, why is this water so heavy!"
Jiang Lili wondered in her heart, and walked over, only to see Cheng Ru standing on the shore holding the water bladder in both hands, struggling to take the water bladder out of the water, but her face was full of hideous green tendons, which didn't look like a fraud, and the water bladder didn't move at all.
Jiang Lili was stunned, "Shen, you pour it out and take a look." ”
Cheng Ru turned the water bladder upside down, poured out some of the water, and tried to pick it up, but still couldn't hold it.
"So weird?" Jiang Lili walked over, took the water bladder in Cheng Ru is hand, and tried his best, but he didn't move at all!
Jiang Lili was stunned, he felt that the water bladder in his hand could actually move in the water at will, front and back, left and right, but if he wanted to pick it up, it would sink like a mountain!
Slowly pouring out the water in the water bladder, Jiang Lili picked up the water bladder casually. Then he put the mouth of the water bladder into the stream, and saw a gurgling stream of water flowing into the water bladder, and then lifted it up again, and moved it upwards for a moment, and then did not move.
And so on several times.
Cheng Ru suddenly said: "Why is this water bladder not wet with water?"
Jiang Lili was shocked in his heart, originally all his attention was on this water, and he never noticed the abnormality of this kettle. After hearing Cheng Ru's words, I realized that the water bladder was not wet with water at all!
After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jiang Lili took out a dry towel and slowly lowered it underwater, only to see that the lower end of the towel was soaked with water, and it was unfolded with a slight shake. But when he took out this towel, the lower end of this towel was extremely dry! Jiang Lili reached out and touched it, and put it on his face
Cheng Ru thought about it, took off his pants, and poured a soak of urine into this Cuibi Creek.
I saw that the urine first sank into the water and splashed and then slowly rose, and even separated from the stream, turning into yellow droplets rolling on the water, and after a while, it slowly moved towards the shore and soaked into the soil.
Cui Bi Xi is still jasper flawless.
The two looked at each other.
At this time, the Yin envoy walked over with a solemn face, pointed to him and said, "The call is now in front of me!"
Then the Yin Envoy turned his face again, looked to the left and said in a deep voice, "Now, that call has appeared behind me, behind us when we were walking before!"
