Chapter 74(1/2)
Since he learned that Jiang Ni and Tang Xin were safe and sound, Chen Fusheng gave up what he was worried about, and his only goal was to arrive at the ferry as soon as possible.
Along the way, Chen Fusheng used alchemy rituals again, not for an opportunity, but just peeked at the long road ahead and continued to deepen the map image.
After nearly ten hours of trekking, I encountered some unspeakable strangeness on the way.
Chen Fusheng and others finally arrived at the forefront of Hengduan Short Mountain.
Although the short mountain is short, it is long and endless, and both sides extend beyond the end.
Just keep moving forward and climb up the not-high hillside and reach the flat top.
But outside the mountain, from the hillside and the top of the mountain, is like yin and yang.
The scenes are different!
Where Chen Fusheng is still the inherent yellow smoke and dust, the hazy sky of decay, the fields are filled with blurred atmosphere, the dead and desolate, and the desolate atmosphere is everywhere.
Looking upwards at the hillside, there is a line of endless white fog.
After passing the boundary of the white fog on the hillside, it is the "black tide" at the top of the mountain.
The dark tide is really like the tide rolling up and down.
But it is not a "splash", but is formed by thousands of densely packed silk flies.
Chen Fusheng had never seen so many ephemerals, and his scalp and hair exploded.
The long and endless low mountain is like a painting of yin and yang. The white fog is followed by a black tide, with clear boundaries and shocking.
The Xiaotian Dog has seen many fairies with strange phenomena in the wild. At this moment, when he saw the tide of millions of ephemerals, he immediately shivered and turned around and asked:
"Bigfoot, what are these?"
"The lonely ghost, the residual soul, the remains... are all strange things that have been floating in the underworld for countless years..."
Chao Kui said with a rare sigh, as if he was an indigenous person, he didn't like to see these strange things very much.
"After passing the white fog and the black tide, is the ferry crossing on the mountain?" Chen Fusheng couldn't help asking.
Chao Kui nodded:
"The end of thousands of Huangquan detours is considered a ferry crossing. But in our Ga, I only know one ferry crossing, and this mountain is..."
Speaking of this, it scratched its head with some shame, "I made a big mistake before and was imprisoned... What is behind this mountain? I seem to have forgotten..."
"Let's go, let's go to the top of the mountain first!"
Chen Fusheng was vigilant and took his sword and strode forward.
Chao Kui and Xiaotian Dog followed each other and dared not relax.
In fact, looking at the hillside and the top outside the mountain, I was frightened. But after real contact, I plunged into it, except for the coldness all over my body, I didn’t feel unbearable.
The prototype of the map of Chen Fusheng's memory in his mind stopped in front of the mountain.
So he actually had no idea about this upward journey.
Fortunately, there is no danger in everything. I don’t know if it is the effect of the black gas covering the throat, or the correct climbing path, but after half an hour, it has already penetrated into white mist.
Huh?
Chen Fusheng's vision became hazy. He originally thought that after the white fog, he would plunge into the rolling black tide again.
But except for the blurry scene and various torn black cracks, the road to the top of the mountain was unable to see a trace of ephemerals, as if it did not exist.
The distant view of the sky is no longer filled with yellow smoke and dust. Instead, it is even more declining and dim, without clouds, without sun and moon, only dark and depressing turbid space.
The top of the mountain is right in front of you, like a long "coastline".
What is behind the mountain, I can't see at the moment.
"Walk!"
Chen Fusheng calmed down and continued to move forward.
After walking for a long time, when I was about to approach the top of the mountain, the scene changed again.
A stone sculpture that is more than ten feet tall, like a small mountain, stands in front.
At both ends of the towering stone sculpture are rows of stone pillars extending endlessly from afar.
The stone pillars are very ordinary, just the rough stone pillars, not high, about three meters high. The only special thing is that the top is that the runes are carved with invisible patterns, which are dark and look decaying.
The entire top of the mountain is lined up, except for the towering stone statues in the middle, there are stone pillars on both sides. I don’t know how many, and where the arrangement extends.
When Chao Kui saw the stone statue, he suddenly became excited.
It actually shouted loudly, speeded up, and rushed forward.
Chen Fusheng and Xiaotian Dog looked at each other and quickly followed in confusion.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Chao Kui rushed to the foot of the stone statue and couldn't help but stroke the toes of the stone statue, "I remember it! I remember it! This is the 'Ferry Tumbler', and there are soul-locking pillars on both sides..."
It flew forward a few more steps, looked at it, then took a deep breath, shouting intoxicated and excitedly:
"It's this smell! It's this smell! The mother river of the underworld - Huangquan River!!"
When Xiaotian Dog heard the "Huangquan River", he rushed over curiously.
Chen Fusheng looked up at the stone statue of the "Ferry Tumbler".
The shape and appearance of the stone statue is actually very similar to the rural farmers in the world. It is just that the eyes are slightly larger, the nose is straight and the mouth is wide, the face is square, and there is a firm pupil on the forehead. It has the ancient feeling of the wild ancestors.
The stone statue is leaning on a large long sword-like oar in the left hand, clenching its fist in front of its chest, looking straight ahead. It looks majestic and steady, and has never wavered for thousands of years.
In addition, there is a cloud of mist lingering on the chest, and then there is nothing special.
"Master, Huangquanhe, come quickly!!"
The Xiaotian Dog also screamed like Chao Kui, looking excited.
Chen Fusheng couldn't help but jumped over curiously and looked at it.
Behind the top of the mountain is a vast and boundless black "sea"...
For Chen Fusheng, the so-called "Mother River of the Underworld" in his first life is actually like a vague and vague sea.
Thousands of mayflies, dark and dark waves, sometimes strange and strange flowing, silent, vicissitudes of life, calm and boundless, peaceful and boundless...
"So this is the Huangquan River..." Chen Fusheng murmured.
Chao Kui still said excitedly:
"There are detours outside the Huangquan River, narrow valleys, and small paths. If you cross the Huangquan River and reach the other side, you will be a pass. If you leave the pass, you will be the real underworld, the real small roads of Huangquan!"
Chen Fusheng thought something.
In other words, the agreement between Ji Zhi and the other three families is to arrive at the top of this mountain, with the fountain of ferry as the boundary. Whoever comes first will win!
“Is there any place to hide?”
Chen Fusheng no longer wasted time and turned to ask Chao Kui, "They are about to arrive, and Tuoba Swallowing Tiger will come. We will prepare early in case of accidents and wait for an opportunity to move!"
Before Chao Kui could speak, the kobold on the hexagram banner rushed to say:
"You really want to fight the Sixth Realm God General? Then you talk about it first, how to fight? How confident are you? Is there a way out?"
Chen Fusheng had already thought about it and pondered:
"Under the influence of the Huangquan imperial edict, the gods cannot do their best, and at most they can reach more than 70% of their strength."
"If I am about to fight at a touch, I still have the power of three swords! Xiaotian and Chao Kui are responsible for protecting me from behind. The spiritual medicines in the traps that were scrapped along the way are enough for me to recover quickly."
"If it is not about to fight when we meet, then Tuoba Shuanghu will inevitably resist the other three companies. I was surprised and combined with the power of the three companies, I may not lose to him!"
"If there is another change and there is no war. Then I lurk beside me, observe the situation, and then decide according to the timing. So I must prepare for the future and ambush in advance."
"Tuoba Swallowing Tiger cannot do his best. Once he gets it all, he will inevitably be expelled from the underworld. This is his concern and our retreat."
After Chen Fusheng finished speaking, Kappa was silent for a moment and couldn't help asking:
"Do you have a third sword that is stronger than those two swords?"
Chen Fusheng nodded: "Three swords are stronger! So I need the rear guard."
Kappa seemed to breathe a sigh of relief slowly and stopped talking.
After hearing this, Chao Kui clapped happily:
"Great opportunity, I really read you right! Playing with you is much better than my uncle..."
But he immediately yelled, pounded his chest, almost choked, he said:
"I won't say anything, let's go, I'll take you to find a place to ambush!"
Xiaotian Dog asked while walking, "Bigfoot, how do you want to ambush?"
Chao Kui showed another sly look and whispered:
"You forgot what I came from?"
"Born to Hunter!" Xiaotian Dog suddenly realized.
