On one side is the Yellow Springs Road, and on the other side is the river of the underworld, but the place where Otokogawa is is a ruin.
ruins
What building in the underworld collapsed and became dilapidated like this
Don’t the civil servants in the underworld need to practice cultivation
Meow…
Hei Niu emerged from the ruins, a dark, deep black cat.
The hair on its body turned white because it consumed too much of its life energy, damaging its foundation. Its soul cannot be changed, it is a pure black cat.
There is no sun, moon or stars in the underworld, everything is gray. This undulating ruin, with piles of rocks connected together, uneven, jagged, and with broken walls and ruins, seems to be telling an unknown past.
There were no ghosts or evil spirits to be seen, and no sound was heard. The surroundings were extremely quiet and silent.
Judging from the appearance of the ruins, this should have been a magnificent building in the past, with a solid foundation made entirely of huge stones. One can imagine how majestic and grand this building was back then, but now it is a desolate scene.
"I don't know where it is..."
Yi Xiaochuan muttered to himself. This was the second time he went to the underworld and he encountered such ruins. Naturally, he had to explore it carefully. As for finding the stubborn stone that could calm the water of the Sanzu River and save the human world, there was no rush.
As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Only by figuring out where exactly we are now can we take better actions.
Unfortunately, apart from the huge rocks, nothing else was left, not even any wood. It is a true ruin.
Standing on a huge rock and overlooking the entire ruins, Xiao Yi finally discovered something different. It was a ravine, straight and straight, running across the middle of the ruins.
This ravine is at least several dozen feet long.
Yi Xiaochuan jumped continuously and landed next to the ravine. He immediately found that the huge rock in front of him was split by some mysterious force. The huge rock and the foundation underneath were perfectly cut off, and both sides were as smooth as a mirror.
"What kind of power is this? This... could it be that it was cut by a sword..."
Sword mark!
Let’s call it a sword mark!
It seems that no amount of time has passed, but the vast momentum and aggressive edge left behind are still as strong as ever!
It's really terrifying!
"In an unknown time, someone broke into the underworld and destroyed this huge and magnificent underworld building with a sword... Sun Wukong once caused trouble in the underworld, so could it be that someone broke into the underworld again? The white fox said that the heaven and the sacred mountain are gone, and the underworld is also deserted. What happened?"
Xiao Yi stroked the smooth cross-section with a frown on his face, thinking over and over again, "Era?! The Black Technology System is the pinnacle creation of the Fourth Era, the era of the end of technology. Is the Great Destruction mentioned earlier the reason for the destruction of Heaven, Lingshan, and Hell?"
"Creation, stasis, destruction and emptiness... the great catastrophe of heaven and earth... the disaster of the destruction of the world..."
Xiao Yi turned his head and looked deep into the Yellow Springs Road, the real core of the underworld, and muttered, "It's a pity that Old Liu doesn't know what's going on in the underworld! I've been fried for a hundred years, steamed for a hundred years, and roasted for decades. I've been through the Steamer Hell, the Copper Pillar Hell, and the Oil Pan Hell, but I haven't seen the Judge or Yama. It seems that the underworld is operating on its own by some unknown means..."
"This world! It's really becoming increasingly difficult to understand..."
"It's a pity that the Black Technology System doesn't provide information in this regard... I hope these secrets hidden in the mist of history can be found in the next skill, 'Great Library'? I can go back and ask White Fox..."
Yi Xiaochuan pointed in the direction of the River Styx, and Hei Nuo immediately jumped out.
The khaki river surface was calm and smooth like a mirror.
There is a phrase called "calm as an ancient well", although it means an inner state, its literal meaning is about the state of the water in an ancient well, a state of extreme calmness.
The river before my eyes was extremely peaceful.
It doesn't look like a river at all, more like a pool of stagnant water.
I picked up a stone and threw it into the river. With a "splash", the stone sank to the bottom of the water. Slight ripples appeared on the surface of the river, but disappeared in an instant.
Looking left and right, there are stones on the shore, but they seem to be just ordinary stones, ordinary stones that even the system cannot identify.
Hei Nuo stood by the river, looked down at her reflection in the water, suddenly screamed, then abruptly stepped back several meters, hunched over and her hair stood on end, as if facing a great enemy.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Meow meow meow..."
I can't understand cat language...
Xiao Yi walked over and took a closer look. He found that the deep yellowish water in the river was not stagnant, but was churning like boiling water in an iron pot.
Amid the churning, countless human figures could be vaguely seen floating in the water, roaring, roaring, and screaming.
"Legend has it that people who have committed heinous crimes will be tortured in the Sanzu River for three hundred years before they can be reincarnated... These are evil spirits in the water. They are sealed in the river. Can't they come out?"
Throwing another stone into the river.
With a splash, he sank into the water.
"I really can't come out!"
Xiao Yi lost interest immediately. If it was an evil ghost, it would be good for it to come out and be sucked into energy!
As for reaching your hand into the Styx...
Generally, people who have such thoughts don’t survive more than three chapters.
Xiao Yi looked around, pinched his fingers, and chose the left direction. The man and the cat set out on a journey to find the stubborn stone...
On the lonely river bank, the person walking alone feels desolate and lonely.
But soon after Xiao Yi left, a large number of bubbles suddenly emerged from the place where the stone was thrown. It seemed that something appeared at the bottom of the water, waves emerged, and the water surface was pushed open.
A giant with muscular body stood on the river, with only half of his body exposed!
In his hand he held a steel fork with two broken tips, leaving only one, like a strange-looking spear. He was wearing a black chain mail, which had a torn chest and a fist-sized penetrating wound.
And above the neck, there is a huge bull head!
Such a humanoid creature appearing in the underworld is naturally the famous Bull Head!
The bull head took a few steps towards the shore, but its lower body seemed to be bound by a mysterious force and it could not walk out of the river at all.
So, after a brief struggle, the bull head's eyes gradually turned blood red, violent and crazy, and ripples appeared on the surface of the river where he was struggling.
This state doesn't look like the soul-catcher from the underworld at all, but more like a ferocious ghost taking over the body of a fallen bull-head.
Otokogawa frowned, looked back, and saw nothing unusual. He walked a few steps, then suddenly turned back, but still saw nothing...
"It seemed a little unusual just now?"
After muttering something, Xiao Yi became more cautious.
I always felt like I was being stared at by some mysterious creature, so I unconsciously took a few steps away from the Santuo River.
