Chapter 243: Crossing the River

It was late at night, the cold wind was blowing, and there was silence between heaven and earth. In the flickering candlelight, Tian Wu sat in front of the case and wrote furiously, as if he was writing a letter to a friend.

Suddenly, there was a strange sound in the dark night, and then a colorful venomous snake fell from the beam and landed on the lamp holder.

It swam and wrapped its body around the entire lamp holder. Its blood-red snake tongue stretched and retracted, playing with the candlelight like it was teasing prey.

The candlelight suddenly dimmed and gave off a strange aura.

Then an unusually tall black figure appeared in the room, blocking all light and covering Tian Wu's entire body.

Tian Wu seemed to be unconscious, but he was writing faster, but his handwriting began to become distorted.

"Hey, you are getting more and more courageous. How dare you not bow down when you see Gu?" The black shadow spoke in a voice like a night owl.

"I don't dare to see the driver until the matter is over." Tian Wu replied lightly, without any intention of stopping writing.

"It's really beyond my expectation that you can be so calm even when a disaster is approaching. This is very inconsistent with your usual timid and fearful style." Heiying sighed faintly.

Tianwu suddenly let out a long sigh and put down the brush in his hand.

At this time, he had finished writing, and it was not until he confirmed that all the things that should be explained in the letter that Tian Wu said, "This may be the dying god, and his heart is strong."

After a pause, he continued: "No matter what, I have to thank you for giving me enough time to complete the matter at hand. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"It's good to know. Compared with a few other domineering guys, I can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous person to you."

"Really, I don't think so." Tian Wu said in a deep voice: "What you call kindness is just based on careful calculation. The reason why you do this is just for that young man named Yin."

"Haha, how can you see it?" the black shadow said leisurely.

"It's very simple. This young man is still valuable. You need him to complete some things that are inconvenient for you to come forward, and I just happened to play a role in fueling the flames at this point."

The black shadow was startled and said: "Awesome, I didn't expect you to even see this."

Tian Wu said with a teasing expression: "The suicide note has been written, why don't you check it?"

"That's your business. I have no interest in it alone."

"Really? Aren't you afraid that I will reveal the secret in the letter?"

Heiying said coldly: "You definitely don't have the guts. You know very well that once any information that is not beneficial to Gu is leaked, your precious apprentice may not be able to help him if he wants to accompany Houtu in the Nether Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room immediately fell silent. The venomous snake with colorful patterns suddenly opened its big mouth and swallowed the wick in one mouthful.

The room suddenly became pitch black, plunging into complete darkness. There was an indescribable mystery surrounding it, and even the sound of the wind outside seemed to be swallowed up into a heart-stopping nothingness.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to talk nonsense between us." Tian Wu stood up slowly, golden light flashing all over his body, and the dark room immediately became as bright as day, but it couldn't illuminate any black shadows.

At this time, the poisonous snake suddenly turned into a plume of black smoke, swimming in all directions like a living creature. When the black smoke occupied all the space in the house, an extremely powerful pressure suddenly appeared and attacked Tianwu.

go.

At the same moment, Tian Wu made a bow and instantly turned into a golden arrow, unexpectedly avoiding this seemingly invulnerable attack.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Wu attacked the black shadow and stabbed into the opponent's body.

The next moment, Tian Wu's entire body disappeared into the black shadow, but he could not penetrate and reappear.

The black shadow remained motionless and instantly turned into stone, turning into a statue without any breath of life.

The cold moon outside the window was quietly covered by dark clouds, and there was no light at all between the sky and the earth. The weirdness at this moment cannot be described in any words.

After a long moment of silence, the black shadow began to move, moving like a ghost, and emitted a high-pitched devilish laugh.

"Hehehehehe... It's you who can actually see through the secrets of heaven and see that Gu is not here in his true form!"

A pair of eyes full of magic flashed out from under the black shadow's forehead, the charming wind blew, the candlelight was rekindled, and the strange shadows projected on the wall kept changing shapes.

"Forget it, it would be a pity to kill a smart guy like you."

The black smoke that filled the room gradually dispersed, and a strange sound sounded vaguely in the silence. It was vaguely present, like a night ghost wailing in the moonlight.

When this heart-piercing strange sound completely disappeared, the black figure seemed to have melted into the air and disappeared.



The darkness passed away and dawn gradually arrived. The originally dark and eerie Situ Mansion gradually became brighter under the sunlight.

Yin Tiancheng and Qian Yehua came to the inner hall excitedly, but saw that the door was ajar and there was no movement in the room.

"My lord, my lord..." Qian Yehua called several times, but failed to get any response, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

"Brother Ye Hua, stop shouting, senior may not be in the house." Yin Tiancheng, with sharp eyes, picked up the piece of paper on the desk and read it, his eyebrows tightening quietly.

"Didn't your Excellency say that he is going to meet us today? It is impossible for him to go out at this time?" Qian Yehua has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

"It's nothing impossible. I'm afraid Senior is no longer in the Lost Continent." Yin Tiancheng sighed and handed the letter into Qian Yehua's hands.

After reading the contents of the letter, Qian Yehua's hands trembled and he cried out: "This is impossible, impossible! The passage has been closed, and it is impossible for you to return to the world!"

"Maybe the senior has his own way to get out, but we don't know it." Yin Tiancheng felt lost. At this time, he had already seen something fishy from the handwriting in the letter.

The first half of the letter was written neatly and powerfully, but many words in the second half were very sloppy, and some of the handwriting was intermittent, giving the impression that Tianwu seemed to be in a state of panic at that time, so much so that he could not even hold the pen steady.

This immediately made Yin Tiancheng realize that after half of writing the letter, Tianwu was disturbed by some mysterious and unknown factor.

It probably means that someone wanted to harm Tian Wu at that time, but it may also be threatening him, but I am afraid only the person involved knows the real situation.

After thinking for a moment, Yin Tiancheng realized that no matter what the situation was, Tian Wu finally handled the matter safely, otherwise he would not have the chance to finish writing this farewell letter.

Because it was speculation, Yin Tiancheng did not dare to reveal his inner thoughts to Qian Yehua. He just said: "It seems that there is no point in my staying here. The next arrangement will be made by Brother Lao Yehua."

Only then did Qian Yehua remember that Tian Wu had asked him to take Yin Tiancheng to Hanging City in the letter. He frowned slightly and said, "The Shatang Divine Boat is seriously damaged and difficult to repair. I wonder how your work is going, sir?"

Yin Tiancheng replied confidently: "Since senior mentioned this matter in the letter, it must have been arranged already."

"Then let's go take a look."

Qian Yehua led Yin Tiancheng through the back hall to the remote courtyard. Seeing that the general guarding the gate was blocking his way in, Qian Yehua hurriedly handed the letter into his hands.

After the monster general saw the familiar handwriting, he hurriedly apologized to Qian Yehua, and then personally took them into the hospital to check on the condition of Shatang Shenzhou.

When he saw that Shatang's Shenzhou was as new as ever, the demon general's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible! When I checked it at the end of yesterday morning, it was still in tatters. How come it was completely repaired after one night?"

Then he suddenly realized and said: "It must have been repaired by Master Situ using his divine power when he came yesterday afternoon."

Qian Yehua stood quietly beside the Shatang Shenzhou, with tears flashing in his eyes. Only at this moment did he believe that Tian Wu had really left the Lost Continent, and he was afraid that he would never have the chance to see him again.

Yin Tiancheng stayed by silently until Qian Yehua's emotions completely calmed down before he said, "When will we set off to Hanging City?"

"Without further delay, let's set off now." Qian Yehua asked Yin Tiancheng to sit in the cabin, and then said a few words to the demon general standing beside him.

After hearing this, the monster general quickly arranged for four burly monster soldiers to stand in a corner and easily lifted the Shatang Shenzhou.

In an instant, demonic mist appeared under the feet of the demonic soldiers. They rose into the air and slowly flew into the sky with the leaf boat. Qianyehua also stepped on the white clouds and followed closely behind to leave Tianwu's mansion.

The group of people shuttled through the clouds and mist, and the towering mountains were getting closer and closer. Yin Tiancheng could already see the distant scenery blocked by the mountains.

It's just that it was a gray space with no objects in it. It was as if there was the edge of the universe behind the mountains. If you take a step forward, you will be left with chaos and nothingness. Everything has returned to the state before the creation of the world.

Just when Yin Tiancheng was in shock, they had crossed all the mountains, and then heard the sound of rushing water. Looking around, they saw that the surroundings were covered by a thick white fog, and nothing could be seen beyond a few feet.

Just as Yin Tiancheng was about to open his mouth, the monsters had lowered their bodies and stopped by a river that stretched across the sky and the earth.

At this time, Yin Tiancheng discovered that the white mist that filled the sky and earth rose from the river. It covered the sky and the sun, shrouded everything in the world, and concealed all unknown truths.

"Master Yin, this is the legendary Broken Dream River." Qian Yehua said calmly, and then ordered the demon soldiers to put the Shatang Divine Boat into the water.

Seeing these monster soldiers carefully pushing the Shenzhou into the water while trying to avoid the river water contaminating his body, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but become playful. He bent down and picked up a dead branch covered with soil, and pointed it at the person in front of him.

Throw it into the water.

There was only a sound of "Gulu Lu", and small dead branches splashed on the water like stones, and then sank into the river without a trace.

"Sure enough, goose feathers cannot float, but reed flowers sink to the bottom." Seeing this situation, Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh, and then he realized that the legend of Broken Dream River was not exaggerated at all.

After the demon soldiers put the boat on the water, they said goodbye to the demon general and left. However, Qian Yehua stayed. He smiled and said to Yin Tiancheng: "We are going to the Hanging City. You are not familiar with the place, so why not?"

Let me accompany you for a ride."

"Thank you, Brother Ye Hua, for your help. Yin is very grateful." Yin Tiancheng quickly raised his hand to express his gratitude.

One person and one demon got on the boat. Qian Yehua stood on the bow of the boat and opened up the oars, rowing towards the invisible other shore.

Along the way, the space around the boat was filled with white fog, and nothing could be seen clearly beyond a few feet. Only when I looked up, I could vaguely see the bright sun hanging high in the sky, as misty as the full moon.

The dim sunlight shines down through the thick fog, and is actually paler than the moonlight. The thick fog in front of me is like a hazy veil, and like a fluttering white silk, sometimes converging and forming, and sometimes scattering into thousands of strands.

There was almost no movement around. Apart from the sound of the oars sliding across the water, all that could be heard was his own breathing and heartbeat. At this moment, Yin Tiancheng was sitting on the boat, feeling the invisible cold wind blowing against his face.

The chill seeped into his bones, and he couldn't help sneezing several times.

Wrapped in water mist, the boat sailed for several hours and finally arrived at the shore. Qian Yehua immediately asked Yin Tiancheng to come ashore, then took out a rocket from his arms, lit it and threw it into the air.

A colorful firework suddenly bloomed in the fog. It was so hazy that people couldn't see it clearly, and then it suddenly went out in the thick fog.

Before Yin Tiancheng could ask, he was surprised to see dozens of lights flashing in front of him. These lights were actually green and were drifting toward him silently.

Suddenly there was an indescribable rich evil spirit, which became more pungent and unpleasant as the light came closer.

Yin Tiancheng was immediately taken aback and hurriedly drew out the Golden Rainbow Sword to prepare for the attack.

Qian Yehua smiled and told him not to be nervous, and said softly: "They are just postmen from Hanging City who came to meet us."

Sure enough, after these monsters as tall as towering trees appeared in front of them, they looked even more nervous than Yin Tiancheng, and they all started talking: "It's weird, there are humans coming to our place!"

"There is no need to be nervous. This young man has been ordered by Lord Situ to go to the capital to meet His Majesty."

"So that's it. How dare humans come to us? It turns out that the Great Elder personally accompanied him." A leader-looking monster smiled and then asked a few of his subordinates to lift the Shatang Shenzhou. I don't know where to go.

Gone somewhere.

Several more monsters several feet tall came out of the fog, followed by a few snow-white horses. After Qian Yehua exchanged a few words with the leader, he called Yin Tiancheng to ride on the horse and invited the monsters in front.

Leading the way, the group of people left quickly.

Along the way, the fog became lighter and lighter, and the terrain became more and more open. When the fog finally disappeared, Yin Tiancheng found himself on the official road.

Looking up, there was a majestic city ahead, with flags flying on top of the city. Yin Tiancheng couldn't help but turn around and asked: "What a magnificent city. This should be the legendary hanging city, right?"
