Chapter 7: The Lord of Lethe
"White, White, no! White-sama ......"
Just when Ling Yan was still sighing for such an amazing work, there was an extremely abrupt voice in the distance, which really didn't match this situation.
Bai Wuchang's face changed slightly, but his eyes looked at Ling Yan's expression from time to time, and his heart was really panicked.
Except for the shouts of the Yin soldier, everything was a little quiet and terrifying.
"His uncle's!" After a moment, seeing that Ling Yan's expression had not changed in any way, Bai Wuchang couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.
The angry look on his face also became more and more gloomy as the Yin soldier approached.
"Boom", suddenly, a soft sound sounded in the ears of the four Bai Wuchang.
This Yin soldier knelt in front of the four of Bai Wuchang, and the hunting yin wind was blowing around, driving the flags scattered in the corners not far away, shaking slightly like the figure of the Yin soldier at this time.
"It's over, it's over..."The Yin soldier thought silently in his heart, his trembling body pressing a smooth head as low as possible.
Fortunately, the ground was extremely flat, and if there was a pit in the ground, he would probably prefer to bury his head in the pit.
Before he came to the Netherworld Temple, he saw the four of Bai Wuchang in the extreme distance, and also saw that the expression on Bai Wuchang's face was extremely bad.
So much so that it reminded him of one thing, if it wasn't too serious, he would have forgotten it?
The Netherworld Temple prohibits noise!! but now that I'm not going to the toilet with a lantern, I'm just looking for death?
Bai Wuchang looked at the Yin soldiers kneeling on the ground in front of him, and he really had a headache.
When is it not good, when Ling Yan is there, he thought in his heart: Even if you don't kill him, you have to establish the dignity and image of the underworld!!
Then with an evil smile on his face, he half-squatted down, and held up the ghost soldier's head with one hand.
"Today, if you don't have something too serious, I've decided to throw you into the 'grinding furnace' to crush your bones and ashes. ”
"Or disintegrate your soul and put it in the Five Directions Ghost Domain!!You must know that Lord Ben is discussing with you now, and you have no bargaining conditions!"
Bai Wuchang's slightly threatening and intimidating words really scared this Yin soldier enough.
I saw that his trembling body was like a rattle at this time, and a smooth head hit the ground from time to time.
"White,,Lord Bai, spare your life!Villain,If you are really anxious about something very important, you will forget the rules of the Netherworld...... please calm your anger."
Yin Bing's words fluctuated, and he finished speaking with a slight tremble.
"Hurry up!" Bai Wuchang was still afraid that Ling Yan would be angry.
The only thing that comforted him was that Ling Yan just looked at this matter with a curious expression, otherwise he really wanted to seal the mouth of this Yin soldier.
Because it was too "expanded", but now he just wants to get rid of this ignorant Yin soldier as soon as possible, and it's better to be out of sight.
"Big, my lord, Fang, the lord of the Lethe River is here."
"Ghost Mother, what is she here for?" Bai Wuchang was surprised.
To say that the scope of this underworld is not large, but the land that can accommodate the five domains is not small.
Although it is indeed normal for the various ghost masters in the underworld to move between each other, if it is not for a major event, they may not be brought to see each other for decades.
"The lord of Lethe River, she came to negotiate with Princess Su, but the Lord of Lethe River, she, she threatened Princess Su, saying ......."
Yin Bing's words were once again speechless.
"What did she say!" Bai Wuchang asked with a cold face, although he knew it must not be a good thing!
However, no matter how scared the Yin soldiers were, they could only tell everything they knew because of the threat of Bai Impermanence.
Although he knew that Bai Wuchang would definitely be in an extremely bad mood, after all, every word he said now was related to his life and death!
"She said that if she didn't open the gate of the netherworld today and allowed the ghost clan to enter and leave the human world normally, she would kill her!!
This Yin soldier was really frightened, in his heart, no matter how he said it, he was just a ghost.
However, the Lord of Lethe River has really stepped into the ranks of ghost kings with half a foot!
"Hmph, what a ghost mother, what a lord of Lethe, relying on his own ability, he is so ignorant of the height of the sky, and he still wants to open the door of the underworld" Bai Wuchang said contemptuously.
The look on his face had nothing to do with the Lord of Lethe at all.
It seems that the Bodhisattva does not interfere in the affairs of the underworld, but many people are a little impatient!
"My lord, the villain has taken his leave, I'll go to help Princess Yu first, and then come back to entertain the adults in a while, you two will accompany the adults well"
Although the ghost mother only has the strength of a half-step ghost king, the gap between each strength is no longer as simple as one and two.
The dignified Lord of Lethe, the half-step ghost king, is far from what the key princess can handle.
Bai Wuchang turned around and bowed respectfully to Ling Yan.
However, this scene was completely seen by the Yin soldier, and the person who could be respected by Lord Bai had to be what kind of identity it was!
Yin Bing silently speculated in his heart, but with his identity, even speculating about it was useless.
Bai Wuchang turned around, and then pulled the Yin soldier who was still in a trance, and ran towards the outer city.
Originally, Bai Wuchang planned to leave first, but seeing the unreliability of this Yin soldier, Bai Wuchang really didn't worry about leaving him here.
Such an unruly and reckless ghost should be more at ease to take it away!
If any sentence offends Ling Yan, it will be too late to regret it!
"Ghost Mother, what the hell is this?" Ling Yan looked puzzled and showed great curiosity.
If you want to talk about everything in the underworld, he really doesn't know anything, will anyone be idle and bored and run to the underworld all day long?
That person is either sick!
"My lord, have you ever heard of Lethe?" said the bull head as he stepped forward and said in his words that were almost forgotten.
Ling Yan looked at the cow's head and the horse's face, and he really couldn't figure out the composition of the two of them.
I don't know if it should be called a yin soldier or a spirit soldier.
"Is it the river that runs through Huangquan Road and the underworld?" Ling Yan blurted out, uttering a general account that had been passed down in the human world since ancient times.
I don't know how much of it is correct, but it's impossible for him to know for no reason.
There has been a saying in the human world since ancient times that after death, the soul needs to pass through the Yellow Spring.
Only by passing through Lethe River can you reach the underworld and re-enter the path of death.
"Yes, my lord, this is the Lethe River. "The bull head is definitely here.
"The water of the Lechuan River is blood-yellow, and the river is full of lonely souls and wild ghosts, poisonous insects and snakes that cannot be reincarnated. ”
"It's completely famous for the Dead River, and of course, the underworld has been a land of despair since ancient times. ”
"But what the world doesn't know is that Lethe River is also known as the "Ghost Mother River" in the ghost world, and this ghost mother is the lord of Lethe River, a half-step ghost king!"
When it comes to the ghost king, the bull head is particularly excited.
After all, that's what they've been pursuing for hundreds of years, and they don't know when they'll be there.
It is conceivable that wherever the strength is, it has the absolute right to speak.
"Lord of Lethe?" Ling Yan looked strange, as if he had thought of something.
"Let's go join in the fun, too" Ling Yan looked into the distance and slowly walked in the direction that Bai Wuchang had before.
The two ghosts also followed closely behind Ling Yan, after all, how could they dare to disobey this person's words?
Isn't that self-inflicted?
The high walls of the boulders are like a strong shield, isolating the entire building of Hades.
The extremely delicate patterns are like silk threads outlined between the boulders, and they exude a faint light that is imperceptible.
Outside the high wall, there are many ghosts gathered at this time, and there are also many ghost crows perched on the dead trees in the distance.
It's like encountering some kind of feast, crying with joy.
A stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a gorgeous costume looked at the magnificent complex in front of her in a daze.
She really didn't expect that one day she would actually raise an army in the underworld, and thinking about it made her feel extremely happy.
You must know that this is the birthplace of the Great Emperor who is beyond the world!
But her expression was extremely unkind, and when she opened her mouth, it was full of complaints, but the smile on her face could not be concealed.
"Niece and nephew, I said what are you doing guarding this place where there is no grass?"
"This place where the sun does not see the light of day all day is not a paradise, but a cage, where we, the true masters of the earth, are imprisoned, why do you say that?"
The woman said affectionately, as if she had been wronged, as if she had suffered all kinds of humiliation.
"Aunt Ghost Mother, I respect you as my elder, so I didn't care about your bullying in the past."
"It's a pity that now, you actually have the idea of the human world, how can you let me tolerate it, if you are about to break through today, you can only blame Yu'er for being disrespectful!"
The voice has a hint of ethereal sound, the hollow valley is quiet, and the heart is soft.
Countless ghosts present were all moved by the little girl's Lori voice and appearance.
Princess Yu, known as Yan Key, who would have thought that in such a barren place, there would be such a smart and lovely girl full of life?
She has waist-length hair, fair skin that seems to pinch out water, and big eyes that are bright.
Dressed in a purple Luo skirt, she reveals a kind of elegance all the time, like a fairy who doesn't know the fireworks in the world.
Although she is still just a little girl, she already has such a stunning appearance, how can such a naturally beautiful person not let anyone have a desire to protect.
It's a pity that you should never look at people by the appearance of a person, because maybe the person you look down on can pinch you to death with one hand.
And Yan Jian is such a demon who is truly beautiful, wise, and powerful.
"Hmph, what about my idea of starting the human world, today I insist on breaking through and seeking justice for countless creatures in this netherworld!"
The ghost mother said righteously, but she didn't think it was such a funny thing.
Many ghosts are born to act independently, and there is very little real friendship, only the same interests.
"Back then, my father handed over the underworld to me, and I must protect this realm. ”
"The covenant made by the ancestors, the ghosts and monsters will not come to the world, otherwise they will be attacked by a group, and this rule cannot be broken!"
"So, I will stop you no matter what, if it weren't for Uncle Jizo leaving the ghost world, how dare you break into the underworld"
Yan Jian said with a firm tone.
"Hmph, okay, since you are so obsessed, don't blame your aunt for being ruthless!"
"Listen to the order, kill me, and I will definitely take the hell and take power"
The ghost mother seemed to have seen the victory, and confidently gave the order.
Both sides were already on the fence and were waiting for this final order.
The ghost crow crowed, and the killing aura of Sen Ran spread.
The refraction of the sword light seems to be felt even in such a dim place.
The sound of weapons grinding sounded in the air, and the dust on the ground was stirred up as the Yin soldiers of the two sides clashed.
The scene fell into chaos for a while, and the ghost mother attacked Yan Jian like a ghost, thinking that she was bound to win the other party in the first battle.
It's a pity that she completely underestimated the energy of the emperor's daughter.
Those who are paved by the emperor, even if they are mediocre, their achievements will not be too low, not to mention that this is "Yan Key".
Just when the Ghost Mother was about to hit Yan Key, Yan Key just turned around and simply avoided the Ghost Mother's attack.
Instantly stretched out his small carved hand and patted the ghost mother's back.
Although it seemed to be a simple palm without any harm, it stumbled the ghost mother and almost fell directly.
"Ahem, it looks like you're really a demon!"
"For tens of thousands of years, who can truly match a half-step ghost king in such a short period of time? Perhaps, the Great Emperor chose you for a reason!"
The figure of the ghost mother flashed, and returned to the distance again, bringing up a trace of afterimage, but there was obviously a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.
"It's a pity, you're still young after all, the gap in strength between you and me is a flaw that can't be made up, how can you easily defeat me?"
"Haha! Let's get out of the way and get out of this underworld!"
"Such a big cake is not something that a few people like you who have no power to fight back can protect it. ”
"Since you have to give it up sooner or later, it's better to cheapen your aunt and me, what a perfect thing!" the ghost mother's crazy words came into the ears of all the ghosts present.
Although Yan Key's blow caused the ghost mother to be injured a little, it couldn't let her retreat at all.
Because the temptation of the human world is not something that any ghost can resist.
The ghost mother became even more gloomy at this time.
Thinking that she is a half-step ghost king, if a child can't be defeated, isn't it going to be a joke for all ghosts?
How will she serve the public in the future! How to establish a tall figure in the hearts of the ghosts.
"This time, I'll see if you can resist it"
Suddenly, I saw the rapid formation of a seal in her hand, the wind around her, and the air seemed to be mixed with a trace of fear.
The Yin soldiers of the two sides hurriedly stopped fighting, and it didn't matter who was who, after all, they were all about survival, and who didn't want to live longer?
They all hurriedly ran towards the distance, and even the ghost crows in the extreme distance seemed to be unable to stand such coercion, so they instantly vibrated their wings and fled.
"Killing the Forgotten River" is like chewing words, and these words come out of the mouth of the ghost mother.
I have to admire Yan Key, who is still as calm as he was at the beginning, and he doesn't have the immature color of a child at all.
In the underworld, there is a kind of death aura wafting everywhere, and there is no life at all.
In the far reaches of a river, a dilapidated wooden plank is faintly visible on the bank.
The words on it seem to be written in blood, and the word "Lethe" on it seems to have grown here since ancient times.
However, at this time, the river water has changed against the sky.
The river broke off and hit the sky like a waterspout.
The various spirit poisons mixed in it were also swept away.
