Chapter 29: The Origin of the River Styx
The ferryman himself could not remember how much time he had spent on the River Styx, but he said he knew a legend about the River Styx. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Legend has it that the River Styx did not exist in ancient times, but only after the Great Lich War. At that time, the Wu clan was weakened, and in order to preserve the bloodline of the Wu clan, the ancient ancestor Wu - Hou Tu Niang Niang Niang, she used the extreme witchcraft of the earth system to kill the demon clan who came to pursue without leaving a piece of armor, so that the bones piled up into a mountain, and there were white bones everywhere.
Later, the demon clan retreated, and Hou Tu Niang Niang returned to Hades with the remnants of the Wu clan, and the white bone mountain and the witchcraft performed by Hou Niangniang Niang Niang were still there. Over the years, this mountain of bones has been eroded and finally slowly turned into an ocean, which has become the current River Styx.
Now, the ferryman stared at the white column of water, and he felt a trace of old breath from it, and couldn't help but sigh: "The vicissitudes of the world have long been things and people! Since the fierce battle between the two lich races, they have declined and become a thing of the past;
"Now this mountain of white bones has appeared again, I'm afraid that there will be another storm change!" The ferryman frowned and pondered, "I just don't know if this matter will be related to the **** that appeared in the underworld before; and even the little rat and the two of them are going to find Meng Po, this matter doesn't look simple! I don't know where my current doppelganger - Duguzhou has gone, and has I found out the relevant clues?" If he were here, he would still be able to rescue these two juniors, and with my current ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the erosion of this white water!"
When the ferryman was thinking, he made the first move, using his understanding of the Wood Dao Technique, and shot out a pure air current, which directly pounced on the white water column, but it was a pity that it was absorbed by it at once.
Just like the aquatic wood, no matter how powerful he played, it could not match the power of the white water column itself, and it was still very hungry, and the ferryman would not be stupid enough to bring food to it. And he has a self-aware name, even if the lonely boat is here, the two of them join forces to fight for a chance for the two juniors at most, it is absolutely impossible to have the ability to restore this huge river Styx to its previous appearance in the way of Mu Ketu, after all, it is the earth-based witchcraft performed by the ancient ancestor and the queen of the witch, just with his small true immortal, or just stepped into this realm, how can it be compared to the Hou Tu Niang who is approaching the saint, even if there is only a trace of her strength, it is not something he can shake!
Seeing that the strongest blow he had delivered was easily absorbed by the white jet of water, the ferryman knew that he would not be able to forcibly save the two juniors.
So, the ferryman hurriedly mobilized his mind, went to find the silence, and wanted to call him to come to the rescue; who knew that he had already sat down, closed the six senses, no matter how he screamed, he could not wake up, so angry that the ferryman could not help but scold: "This wild boar does not sleep early or late, but at the critical time, he fell asleep, and he sincerely wanted to deliberately escape!"
The ferrying messenger knew that after the true immortal cut off any of the past, present, future, and three bodies, he would have a new understanding of what would happen later, and it would be good to say that it was a prediction. Therefore, the true immortal can seek good fortune and avoid evil, which is far more powerful than a yard of black immortals.
Marshal Tianpeng has already beheaded his current clone, Zhu Bajie, he is already a true immortal, and he is also the commander of the naval army of Heavenly Court, and his strength can be seen.
It was because the ferryman knew this that he wanted to ask for help from Silence, who would have thought that he would ignore this matter. However, the ferrying envoy thought about the matter of the Wu Clan and the Jade Emperor who now dominated the Heavenly Court was also a hostile force, but he had a point to solve the difficulty of dealing with the silence, in case he made a move and led to the Wu Clan, the responsibility would not be small!
"Forget it, I can't rely on the old pig, I can only rely on myself! Anyway, I am a killing god, no matter how I calculate it with the heavenly court, it will be enmity, even if I release the Wu Clan or give the Wu Clan a chance to be reborn, it will not hurt to me!" The ferryman flicked his sleeves and showed an indifferent look, "Now I can only recall the lonely boat, I hope he can come in time to save the little rat and them!"
The ferryman waved his hand and summoned a woody breath, causing it to disappear into the air, and went to inform Duguzhou.
Although the ferryman thought for a while, what happened here was only between breaths, after all, as an immortal, he was not only quick in thinking, but also quick in his movements, never delaying time.
The ferryman looked at the white column of water again, and always had some scheming about Xu Hao and Wang Ruya, "I don't know what the hell these two are doing, I have obviously stayed on this Styx River for so long, and nothing has happened, but as soon as they came, such a big thing happened! That old slippery head has been in the Heavenly Court for so long, and his identity is extremely not simple, although he is nominally doing things for the Heavenly Court, but he is extremely shrewd in his bones, and he will never do meaningless things. I just don't know if this time, he has the same purpose as Heaven and Earth, but he just sent the little rat and the two of them who are not strong, and it seems that they can't do anything big!"
The ferryman analyzed the situation, he didn't take Xu Hao and Wang Ruya seriously at first, but after experiencing the current matter, he understood something, "Although the two of them are not strong, if they have an opportunity, I am afraid that it will really disrupt the affairs of the underworld." What's more, those old guys will never do it themselves, and the more they arrange for young people to do something for them, the less karma they will have!"
The ferryman knows that the more old the antique and the more shrewd, the less he will make a move. Because they have lived for thousands of years, they have already seen the world clearly, and they are not like the nouveau riche in the world who always want to kill all the people or opponents they don't like, just trying to be happy for a while, but they don't know the cycle of cause and effect, and the anger of killing is too heavy, and sooner or later it will backfire. Therefore, the gods are always ruthless, watching some things happen, and finally finishing up.
The ferryman remembered the kindness of the two juniors to him, and he would not abandon them, but the situation was complicated at the moment, and he could not directly intervene to save the two, so he could only spread his anger and tell them all the things, and reminded the two of them: "Little mouse, you are in the whirlpool at this time, remember to protect yourself, I am trying to find a way to rescue you, but it will take time, so you must be careful." And you must not touch the white water column, it is caused by the means left by Hou Tu Niang Niang back then, and now it has been triggered, it will absorb the true qi in your body and replenish your own loss!"
When Xu Hao and Wang Ruya heard this, they were first amazed by Hou Tu Niangniang's methods, and then they saw that the voice of the ferryman messenger was being swallowed up by the white water column. They hurriedly responded, saying that they understood, and only then did the remaining information fly out, letting the ferryman know what they thought.
Previously, Xu Hao and Wang Ruya had been attracted by the white water column, and it wanted to pull them to their side. Fortunately, the two of them have been using their own strength to resist the pull of the white water column, which did not let it succeed. And now they waited for the ferryman's messenger to summon them, and they fled more quickly, but the two of them could only retreat, and could not completely free themselves from the shackles of the white water column. Because they have no way but to stay close to the white column of water, or they will be stuck in the center of the whirlpool.
Xu Hao pulled Wang Ruya to dodge the attraction of the white water column, their figures were very embarrassing, after all, the two of them were injured first, and now they have to be on guard against the power of the water column at all times, but they are a little exhausted;
Xu Hao looked at the haggard Wang Ruya, he knew very well in his heart that if they continued like this, Ruya would definitely fall. He himself couldn't hold on anymore, not to mention Wang Ruya, who was still weak!
"What the hell are we going to do? It's definitely impossible to get out from above!" Xu Hao was anxious in his heart, he didn't want anything to happen here.
Although Xu Hao was in a hurry, his mind was still very clear, "With the ability of the ferryman to make us wait, it must have encountered a tricky problem, and he must be thinking of finding someone to help now." Let's not talk about whether the man will be able to make it in time, if we continue to spend so much, we will definitely finish the game!"
Xu Hao was not worried that the ferry messenger would not come to them, but he understood that he and Wang Ruya would most likely not be able to hold out at all for the arrival of rescue. They had to find a way out so that they wouldn't despair.
Facing death is a kind of torment, Xu Hao understands, so he will not sit still, because if once it comes to the most dangerous moment, the rope that has been tight is broken, they will be completely finished.
Death is not terrible, the most terrible thing is waiting for death minute by minute!
Xu Hao didn't want to die yet, he swept around, but he didn't find any way out, if there was, it was that he finally stayed at the center of the death vortex.
Xu Hao couldn't see what was inside the center of the death vortex, but if he gave himself a hope, then his sustenance could only be here.
Xu Hao looked at the center of the death vortex, and he turned to Wang Ruya and said, "Ruya, do you believe me?"
Wang Ruya didn't know what Xu Hao wanted to do, she only knew that she believed in him, even if she died with him, she herself had no hesitation. She smiled, "Brother Hao, I will always believe in you!"
Her smile was relaxed and full of helplessness, which made Xu Hao feel like a spring breeze, he understood that her trust in himself was so selfless, and he secretly swore in his heart: I must take her and walk out alive!
Xu Hao smiled back at Wang Ruya, he didn't say anything, anyway, it was absolute, and he had to make a Bo. Wouldn't it be better if rescue came!
Just as the two of them were dodging the white water column, the message sent by the ferryman flew over the thousands of mountains and rivers of the underworld and came to a large mountain peak. The yin air between the peaks is extremely heavy, and the cries of ghosts are noisy everywhere.
This information stopped for only a moment, and from the highest peak, a black shadow flew out directly, which was the Dugu boat that had left earlier.
He took the message, learned the reason, and snorted, "These two little guys are not worrying, but they will cause trouble for me!" and immediately dodged and went straight to the River Styx.
As soon as Dugu Zhou left, a ghost immediately flashed in the highest peak, and he asked anxiously, "Where is Brother Dugu, I don't know what the so-called thing is......?"
But before he could finish speaking, Duguzhou was already gone, and the ghost had to wait respectfully for a moment, seeing that it had no intention of returning, and then retreated to the peak.
