The situation in this fork in the road is very suitable. The size of the hole has not changed. It is just enough for Xu Huaigu to walk in alone, but it will not hide other deadly monsters. Moreover, the sinister wind blew out from this fork in the road, which made Xu Huaigu even more convinced that there must be an exit on the other side of the road.
Although the environment was deep and scary, after Xu Huaigu walked a certain distance, he got used to it and no longer felt that scary.
It's just that this forked road stretches very deep inside. Xu Huaigu walked a long way and still didn't see the exit. He couldn't help but doubt his original decision.
If he had been waiting at the entrance of the cave before, maybe the rain outside had stopped and he could have moved on. But now he was stuck in the cave and had no choice but to go deeper.
Many things in the world are like this. After making a choice, you will doubt the previous choice. Would it be better if I made another choice?
In fact, it is not the case. When you have this idea, you will regret both choices. If Xu Huaigu had not entered the cave at that time and just waited at the entrance, he might have regretted not entering the cave to explore later. So there are some things that you don’t need to regret, it’s just a dilemma.
Xu Huaigu continued to walk inside with an anxious mood. Fortunately, he didn't walk long before he heard the subtle gurgling sound of water coming from a distance and echoing in the cave.
Xu Huaigu was overjoyed. As long as there was underground river water, the exit would most likely be on the other side of the river.
He accelerated his pace excitedly, and the sound of the river got closer and closer to him.
After getting out of a narrow stone shelf, Xu Huaigu's eyes suddenly opened up and he finally saw the river.
He was stunned by the sight before him.
This underground river is simply the biggest miracle in the world. At the bottom of the Mountain of Good and Evil, this underground river is as wide as a vast ocean, with no end in sight!
The river is surging and majestic.
Xu Huaigu marveled at the great creation of this river. It was really shocking that there was such a secret place at the bottom of the mountain.
The water of this river is extremely filthy, full of yellow mud-like things, and the flow rate is very slow. It flows quietly at the bottom of the mountain.
Xu Huaigu walked to the river bank, feeling the humid air and the strong wind rising on the vast water, and his heart was surging.
But he soon realized a problem. Since the wind in this cave comes from this boundless river, where is the exit? Is it on the other side of the river?
Xu Huaigu woke up from his sigh, and he immediately realized how bad his situation was. If he couldn't find the exit, he would have trapped himself in the deepest part of the cave. Even the way out was blocked by the demonic dragon. Bai Xiaoyu would never be able to find him if he tried to look for him.
He couldn't help but feel regretful for his recklessness.
But this mood did not last long, and he cheered up again.
Because Yu Qin was still waiting for him to save him, he believed that God would bless him.
It was very unrealistic to cross the river, and there was still a demonic dragon guarding him when he turned around. He could only walk downstream along the bank of this river.
The river bank is filled with soft sand, which feels like a swamp when stepped on. It feels unreal and makes people want to sink in.
After walking not far, he vaguely saw the outline of a small bridge appearing on the river bank, crossing the river.
He walked closer and saw that the bridge was a wooden bridge. The wooden bridge is very narrow, only one person wide, but it is extremely long. One end is tied to the river bank with an iron chain, and the other section goes to the other end of the river, with no end in sight.
Xu Huaigu was very confused. No one had ever been to such a remote corner. Why was there such a long bridge spanning both sides of the bank?
He stepped forward curiously, ready to investigate.
A large stone tablet was erected at the head of this wooden bridge, with two inscriptions on it.
No matter what.
Xu Huaigu always felt that this name was very familiar to me, and then he was startled and hurriedly took several steps back, trying to get further away from the river.
Nai He Nai He, isn't it the name of the famous bridge connecting the Underworld and the River of Forgetfulness?
Legend has it that under the Naihe Bridge is the endless Wangchuan River, in which there are thousands of innocent souls imprisoned in the river and unable to break free, so the river is always dirty. The water of the Forgotten River has always been said to be light, and even the lightest feather will sink.
Xu Huaigu remembered what he had heard from the weird fishing old man outside that the creek was a tributary of Wangchuan River, and he seemed to have seen Lin Hongzhi's face in that creek.
Moreover, it is said that there is an old woman named Meng Po under the Naihe Bridge, so there is a saying that after death and reincarnation, one drinks Meng Po soup and crosses the Naihe Bridge.
Not only the bridge named "Naihe", but also the river was very similar to the legendary River of Forgetfulness, which actually made Xu Huaigu think that the opposite side might really be the underworld.
By the way, wasn't it said that there was a Po Meng by the bridge? Could there be such a person?
Xu Huaigu looked intently at the bottom of the bridge, and actually saw a figure sitting by the bridge.
Xu Huaigu was shocked. Could it be that he really broke into Naihe Bridge?
He stayed aside and watched for a long time, but there was no movement from the man. Xu Huaigu became more courageous and wanted to go up and find out.
He slowly walked up to the figure, but did not see any movement from the figure, so Xu Huaigu felt relieved. It should just be that a senior was sitting in this place and he happened to meet him.
He looked carefully at the human figure and found that the man had a black satin robe on his shoulders and was sitting on the ground with his legs crossed.
This nameless skeleton has two hands stretched out from his robe, but they are already pale bones. The posture is very strange. The index finger of one hand points to the lower reaches of the river, and the ring finger of the other hand points to his chest.
The strange thing is that I don't know how long this man sat there after he died. His skin and flesh have long since disappeared, and even his bones are as brittle as powder, and will dissipate with the slightest touch. However, the black satin robe draped over him was still very new, with no trace of damage at all.
Xu Huaigu immediately realized that this was a high-grade robe, and he was a little moved.
Although he said that he has two swords, and the quality is not low, one is a medium magic weapon, and the other is a high-quality magic weapon, but he still doesn't have any other magic weapons, especially this kind of robe that is extremely difficult to make.
The robe is a close-fitting defensive magic weapon. When worn on the body, it can keep dust away from the body. When fighting, if a sword is close to him, it can also withstand a large part of the damage. For someone like him who only focuses on killing now, It is most suitable for swordsmen who have no ability to protect themselves.
Even though this robe is just plain black and looks very inconspicuous, as the saying goes, simplicity is the most important thing. The more pure black it is, the more likely it is a good thing.
Xu Huaigu just touched the robe lightly with his hand, and the bones began to loosen slightly. If he moved any bigger, they would fall apart.
Xu Huaigu hesitated. He didn't really want to destroy the withered bones. Although no one would know about it underground, and the robe would be of no use if left underground, he felt that the senior's withered bones should still be respected.
Especially since the underground was very weird. He was worried that this robe would be a lure. If something unpredictable happened after taking it, he would really be shooting himself in the foot.
The wages of avarice is death.
Xu Huaigu did not dare to touch the black robe for the time being, but he felt that the posture of the withered fingers was very strange, so he carefully followed the withered ring finger to look at his chest, and found that there seemed to be a place on the withered chest. something.
He looked carefully and saw a small jade slip and a white jade token, which had been baptized for countless years but were still as new as ever.
The white jade token Xu Huaigu looks very familiar. It has a pure white flower carved on it. The filaments are complicated and intertwined, a bit like a blooming begonia.
Xu Huaigu thought carefully, then took out the wooden black token on his body, compared it, and found that the two tokens were indeed a set, even the shape was exactly the same.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but think.
What's so weird about this token engraved with Hibiscus flower, that it comes in a set? Why does Huang Shan value it so much, and why does this nameless withered skeleton also have a piece of it in his hand? Moreover, Huang Shan, who owns this token, is so eager to enter Wangchuan, and these withered bones are also deep in Wangchuan. This set of tokens must be inseparable from Wangchuan.
This set of tokens must hide a deep secret of Wangchuan.
Xu Huaigu was a little embarrassed. This time it was not about the robe. The token was obviously very involved. It might be related to how to leave Wangchuan. Xu Huaigu wanted to take it away, but it would be destroyed if he took it away. Dry bones.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huaigu chose to take the token.
And Xu Huaigu was also curious about what was written on the small jade slip inside.
He put the sword on the ground, knelt down in front of the withered bones, made a big salute, and said: "Senior, don't blame me. I just want to unlock the secret of Wangchuan. I have no intention of offending. I can borrow the jade slips and order from my senior." Once you use the card, you will be offended."
He carefully took out a small volume of jade slips and white jade tokens from the withered chest.
Miraculously, this time the withered bones did not become loose and were still sitting there.
Xu Huaigu sighed, could it be that his sincerity really moved God? There are indeed mysterious things everywhere in this world.
This robe should be able to ensure that the withered bones will not be blown away by the wind, and it can be regarded as giving this unknown senior a good death.
The white jade token was cold and bone-chilling. It was completely different from the warmth of Lin Cangyang's piece of Qilian blood jade. He didn't know what kind of jade this token was made of.
He put away the white jade token and looked at the exquisite jade slip.
The jade slips were engraved with tiny characters. Xu Huaigu picked up the jade slips eagerly and curiously, brought them to his face, and read out the contents word for word.
