Li Daoxuan did not hesitate and immediately escaped from the Styx River and came to the foot of Dushuo Mountain.

The Styx River surrounds this mountain, and from a distance, it seems as if it is an isolated island, forgotten in this land where dead souls travel.

As soon as he landed, the sound of waves rang in his ears, and he saw that the Styx River was once again turbulent, and that whirlpool appeared again.

Wow!

The Styx River stirred up waves, and it seemed that the monster under the water was very unwilling and wanted to involve Li Daoxuan in it again.

Li Daoxuan sneered, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, ready to split the waves.

But to his surprise, when the water of the Styx reached Dushuo Mountain, it seemed to be stopped by an invisible force and quickly became quiet.

The waves stirred up by the wind also fell straight into the river, as if the animal had been stripped of its skeleton.

At the same time, Li Daoxuan's heart moved, and the feeling of being watched completely disappeared.

It is as if Dushuo Mountain has cut off all prying eyes from the outside world. Even the Lord of the Underworld, the Xudu Ghost King, cannot set his sights here.

The strong sense of crisis in Li Daoxuan's heart finally dissipated.

He looked curiously at this sacred mountain recorded in the "Book of Mountains and Seas". What secrets did it hold?

What exactly did the two door gods Shen Tu and Yu Lei leave behind in Dushuo Mountain that makes this mountain so special? It cannot be touched by the water of the Styx, and it will be difficult for ghosts to set foot on it.

Li Daoxuan's curiosity was aroused and he wanted to find out, but he had no impulse.

The more unusual it is, the more likely it is to hide danger.

Li Daoxuan did not rush into the mountain. Instead, he chose to sit at the foot of the mountain, and while he transformed into an avatar and used the longevity talisman for him, he meditated and adjusted his breath.

After a while, he opened his eyes, the mana in his body became full, and his injuries were basically recovered.

In fact, he didn't suffer any serious injuries. He just suffered some backlash while using his magical power of water to control the giant waves of the Styx. He coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He was much better now.

Li Daoxuan stood up, stood by the River Styx, opened his eyebrows, and wanted to see what kind of monster was under the water.

The celestial eye bloomed with divine brilliance, continuously raising Li Daoxuan's eyesight. His eyes penetrated the infinite ghosts and shot to the bottom of the unfathomable Styx River.

Ten feet, one hundred feet, two hundred feet, five hundred feet, one thousand feet!

Li Daoxuan hadn't even seen the bottom of the water yet, and everything he looked at was nothingness.

His eyesight has reached its limit. It's not that Erlang Zhenjun's clairvoyance isn't powerful, it's just that his current cultivation level can only reach this point.

A magical power is a magical power, and cultivation is a cultivation level. No matter how powerful the magical power is, if the cultivation level is not enough, it will not be able to exert its full power.

If True Monarch Erlang were here, let alone the River Styx, he would be able to clearly see everything and see everything in the universe even if it was a blue-falling yellow spring or the ends of the earth.

Li Daoxuan shook his head. Excessively activating his Celestial Eyes made him feel faintly dizzy.

"Forget it, be careful in the future and don't step into the River Styx easily again."

Li Daoxuan turned around and looked at Dushuoshan.

This mountain is very large, hidden in the clouds and mist. There is no vegetation on the mountain, only a peach tree that blocks the sky and the sun. The peach branches are shriveled and swaying in the wind, like long flying snakes.

"Shan Hai Jing" records that there is a peach tree on Dushuo Mountain with branches stretching for three thousand miles. The two door gods Shen Tu and Yu Lei usually live under the tree.

"It seems that this is the peach tree recorded in the book, but it seems to have shrunk a lot. Although it is also very big, it does not stretch for three thousand miles."

After thinking for a moment, Li Daoxuan chose to set foot on Dushuo Mountain.

Wisps of clouds emerged from the soles of his feet, lifting him up and flying to the top of Dushuo Mountain.

One of the seventy-two magical powers of Earth Evil, Zhao Yun!

Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious clouds and didn't fly very fast. He was very cautious. He held the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand and was ready to take action at any time.

He has the magical power to move the clouds and can escape at any time.

But what surprised him was that there was no movement at Dushuo Mountain, which looked very ordinary. It was just like an ordinary mountain, except for a huge and shriveled peach tree.

Li Daoxuan soon reached the top of the mountain. He slowly drifted down and finally saw the trunk of the peach tree.

It was a withered tree that had died long ago. Even though it had a huge body and thousands of branches, it could not change the fact that it was dead long ago.

But what surprised Li Daoxuan was that the peach tree didn't seem to die naturally.

Almost no bark can be seen, only the bare trunk is left, and there are even many bite marks on the trunk, as if it has been eaten by countless mouths, so that this sacred tree spanning three thousand miles has become what it is today. ugly appearance.

Li Daoxuan stroked the scarred peach tree, imagining the scene of it being bitten and eaten, and a chill could not help but rise in his heart.

After a moment, he turned around and stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the River Styx and the majestic Hell Gate at the foot of the mountain.

Li Dao

Wait a minute!

A terrifying thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Li Daoxuan recalled that when he and Lu Chunliang first entered the underworld, they stood on the ferry and passed through the gate of hell. The stone statue at that time... seemed to be looking down?

He thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

The statue stands next to the gate of hell, majestic and solemn, with slightly lowered eyes, watching the souls entering the underworld.

Looking up again, Li Daoxuan was horrified to find that the sight of the two statues had changed again. They were no longer looking at the top of the mountain, but with their eyes lowered, overlooking the River Styx.

The idol... can move?

Are they not dead creatures?

This thought made Li Daoxuan feel a chill in his back. If this was true, then there must be some secret hidden in these two statues.

The sacred mountain that isolates the River Styx from prying eyes, the huge peach tree that is eaten and torn, and the statue of the god that changes the sight...

The secret of Dushuo Mountain is like the surrounding mist, which is invisible and difficult to reach.

Just when Li Daoxuan was standing on the top of the mountain, concentrating on his thoughts, a ghost figure hid behind the peach tree and watched him silently.

"who?"

Li Daoxuan turned around suddenly, his eyes cold.

There is no one on the top of the mountain, only peach branches blowing in the wind.

"Haha, you dare to hide your head and tail in front of me?"

He took out the demon mirror from his arms and pointed it in the direction of the peach tree, emitting a bright golden light.

The next moment, a figure was attracted by the golden light and fell into the bronze mirror.

The opponent is almost powerless to fight back under the demon mirror.

Li Daoxuan looked at the bronze mirror to see who it was, but he quietly pursued it to Dushuo Mountain.

But when he saw the figure trapped in the bronze mirror clearly, he couldn't help but froze, with a trace of astonishment in his eyes.

In the mirror, there is a timid little girl.

She looked to be only six or seven years old, covered in filth, holding a shabby rag doll, hiding in the corner of the bronze mirror, like a frightened cub.

When Li Daoxuan looked at her, she shrank her head and her little body shivered.

She didn't understand why she suddenly came to this small and dark place, and that person suddenly became so huge...

Li Daoxuan did not relax his vigilance because of her pity. Those who could appear in Dushuo Mountain may not be simple people.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"Answer well and I will let you out."

When the little girl heard this, she raised her head, revealing a pair of big black and bright eyes on her dirty little face, which looked a little scared but also curious.

She opened her mouth and pointed at her tongue.

Li Daoxuan was startled, because there was no tongue in her mouth. It was obvious that this little girl was mute when she died, just like Sister Yu.
