2.8 million years of corpses burned into ice
At present, even if they enter the River Styx, those hungry ghosts who follow are not reconciled. They have no mind, only a strong sense of hunger and thirst.
In fact, not only is the flesh of Hook Gou equivalent to a delicacy in their eyes, but the water of the Styx is also a rain for them, but it is not as strong as the attraction of Yuanyang's body. Some of the hungry ghosts finally reached the cliff edge on the banks of the River Styx, looking at the dark waves below.
This shore is not high, but it is a foot high. A big wave hit, and the water splashed and fell on these hungry ghosts. Their bodies immediately sizzled and emitted light smoke that melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Finally, there were no hungry ghosts to follow and jump down. But with the disappearance of this Yuanyang flesh aura, all the hungry ghosts gradually dispersed.
After entering the water, I realized that there was no need to take a deep breath before entering the water. Because of the droplet in his mouth, he was able to breathe normally. Even if you inhale through your nose in the water, you are inhaling fresh air, and no water can enter at all.
He could feel that the air contained in the beads was still limited. But it was enough for him to stay in the water for a few days. Even if the air in the bead is exhausted, as long as he surfaces, the bead will automatically absorb the air, but it will take a day or two to fill up.
Unlike the Xuanshui Flag, the Water Bead does not have the power to control water. Therefore, when he was in the water, Gou Zhu could only swim by himself, but fortunately, he was good at the water. Jumping into the water to escape is the same as climbing over the wall and eaves, which is one of his compulsory lessons as a thief.
The surface of the River Styx is turbulent, and the undercurrent is very fast. As soon as he entered the water, he immediately felt a strong push that made it impossible for him to stay. Fortunately, the nineteenth and Huang Lu's directions in the Gou Zhu perception are both in front of this current, and he is willing to take a hitchhike.
From the outside, the river is pitch black. But when he got to the water, he realized that it was not dark. The various colors of light are like fireflies, gathering and dispersing, swimming in this water.
Only after getting closer did he see that these glowing things were all strange fish with extremely strange appearances. Most of them are transparent, gelatinous, with a terrifying mouth full of fangs and various glowing spots on their bodies.
These fish are actually a type of hungry ghost as well. Although they are not afraid of the dark waters, they are also hungry and thirsty, devouring each other in this dark river all day long, but they can never quench the pain of hunger and thirst. Even if they are devoured by something else, they will quickly reincarnate in this river of Styx, and this life is long, and there is no end to it.
Fortunately, these fish are very small, and the largest is only the size of a palm, so they do not pose a threat to the hook.
After drifting like this for a long time, Gou Zhu was exhausted again. Although breathing is not a problem, he still has to keep himself drifting smoothly in the current at all times to avoid hitting the rocks on the shore, which consumes a lot of true qi, and his physical strength is gradually exhausted, so he must stop and rest to replenish his true qi.
Gou Zhu directly gave up the idea of going ashore. Whether it is encountering countless hungry ghosts again, or some other monster, without true qi, even the magic weapon cannot be urged, and even a gust of yin wind can kill him.
On the contrary, it is much safer in the water. At least he drifted all the way, except for those harmless little fish, and did not encounter any fierce underground creatures.
And when you get here, the flow of water becomes gentler. Gou Zhu speculated that he should have entered a certain lake. There were more and more hungry fish as far as the eye could see, and the fluorescent flickering places were becoming more and more wide. It's just that it's in the water after all, and no matter how clear the water is, he can't look too far. Everything was lost in a silence that seemed to engulf the heavens and the earth.
Not only does the water flow become slower, but the further down it goes, the calmer it becomes. Gou Zhu simply swam straight to the deepest depths. When you go deep underwater, find a place to breathe and restore the true qi in your body.
It is impossible to imagine how deep this great lake is, whether it is a thousand feet or a thousand feet, and if it were a mortal, it would not be able to withstand such a great water pressure. Fortunately, Gou Zhu has already built the foundation in the early stage of the sevenfold period, the sea of qi is stable, the true qi is slightly running, and the physical body is indestructible.
On the contrary, under such water pressure, if you practice pranayama, it will also get twice the result with half the effort. That's one of the reasons why he's determined to get to the bottom of the water.
To his surprise, the bottom of the water was not overgrown with aquatic weeds or mud in the ground as he imagined. It's too deep and there's no sunlight, so there's no vegetation growing here. Even the fish in the lake devour each other without any debris falling, so there is no silt at the bottom of the lake.
At the bottom of the lake, there is a layer of white strange crystals, like a salt lake.
Gou Zhu pulled out a piece with his hand. This white crystal is very soft. It's not so much a crystal, it's a paraffin-like lump. It felt extremely heavy and cold when he started to do it, but the aura in it was similar to the corpse qi emitted by his Underworld Lan.
"It's actually Yan Bing!" If it weren't for reading a lot of miscellaneous naturalist books in Danyang Pavilion, Gou Zhu would not have known this thing. It is said that the bottom of Beiming is full of this thing. The reason for this is that the remains of a large number of ancient creatures were buried at the bottom of the sea, and after 10,000 years, an infinite amount of corpse qi was formed. These corpse qi were pressed against the bottom of the sea by strong water pressure, and when combined with the water, they became hot ice.
Although this thing is like ice, the corpse qi in it is made of decay and can be burned. If it touches the Xuanyin Flame, the burning is even more violent. It's just that this thing can only survive at very deep depths. If it is brought out of the water, the water pressure will disappear, and the hot ice will turn into corpse qi and dissipate, which is useless.
With a stroke of inspiration, he took a piece of flame ice, an amber bead, and tried to urge the true qi to drive the corpse qi in the flame ice into the amber bead.
Amber and corpse qi are the same, they are creatures that have been transformed underground for thousands of years, and their attributes are the same, and there is no rejection. Under the urging of Gou, after a while, the orange-yellow amber beads the size of grapes have turned brownish-yellow. At this time, a piece of hot ice the size of a palm had disappeared completely, turning into the water of the Styx.
Hook up the interest. You must know that in the outer world, although it is not rare to accumulate corpse qi, but there is a deep and pure corpse qi accumulated at the bottom of this lake for thousands of years, and the corpse qi is extremely toxic to the human body, even in the entire Xuanmen, there are few people who can refine the corpse qi without harming themselves.
Except under this water, where can we find such an opportunity to let the mellow corpse qi obediently gather in a solid piece without overflowing at all?
Of course, even if others get these hot ice at the bottom of this lake, they may not be able to think of the extremely perverted use of storing corpse qi in amber beads and sealing it with Xuanyin True Fire.
It's a pity that driving these corpse qi into the amber beads, and then sealing the Xuanyin True Fire, is quite a loss of true qi. Gou Zhu used up the true qi in his body again and again, and used the Pure Yang Pill and Xuanyin Pill again and again to replenish it.
He used up hundreds of catties of Yan Bing to make an amber bead completely turn dark black. If so much corpse qi is ignited by the Xuanyin True Fire and exploded at one time, this power is even inestimable to seduce yourself!
There is not much of this hot ice at the bottom of the lake, only a thin layer of ground. Half an inch under, there was a strange black layer of oily mud. This layer of mud was also full of corpse qi, but there were too many impurities, far less pure than the corpse qi in the hot ice, so he couldn't use it.
And he didn't pay attention to his feet when he first walked around here. Where the feet were stepped, the hot ice was crushed and mixed with the black oil below, and it was ruined a lot. This hundred catties of clean hot ice is really hard to come by.
He wasn't upset, the lake was big enough anyway. After ruining one place, just find another place.
In this way, it took almost a day to gather all the ten amber beads, and the Xuanyin True Fire Seal was completed. These ten "fire beads" are probably the most powerful weapons in his hands.
Not only that, but under this Styx, under the stimulation of the strong Xuanyin aura, his "Xuanyin Nine Dead Yin Cultivation" operated far beyond his cultivation outside, and he actually steadily broke through to the middle stage of the Sevenfold Foundation Building!
Although the gain was not small, he still felt that blood was dripping from his heart when he thought of the 10,000 taels of silver tickets he lost when he bought these ten amber beads. If he couldn't get out, if he could get out alive, the first thing he vowed to do was not to go to Cloud Heaven for revenge, but to ransack the treasure shop......
Refining fire beads all the way, Gou Zhu was also crossing the bottom of the lake all the way, and he chose the direction where Huang Lu was.
The Nineteenth kept getting closer and closer to him. I think she can also feel that she exists, so she has been trying to rush to her side. Huang Lu remained where she was, but her senses were getting clearer and clearer, her consciousness was calm, and she didn't feel any danger or nervousness.
Isn't this guy kidnapping, but invited as a guest? Unfortunately, the distance is still not close enough for Gou Zhu to communicate directly with her.
But it seems that he may have thought too much about the robbery he had guessed before. You must know that with her temper, if she was really robbed, she should have been furious by now.
Just as he was about to leave, Gou Zhu suddenly noticed that a few steps away, there was a little green light, and he hadn't noticed it.
The various fish in this lake are fluorescent, and it is no wonder that he ignored them. But this light is different, it is fixed in one place. Gou Zhu walked over a few steps, and what he saw was an eye-like bead, about the size of an egg, suspended in the water, emitting a faint green aura.
There are spiritual fluctuations in this thing, but there is no breath of life. So it's not a living being, it's a magic weapon or a magic weapon!
It is suspended in the water because it has a thin wire under it that is attached to a weight, resembling a float. This seems to be deliberately set by someone. Since it's someone else's, it's likely to be valuable.
Gou Zhu's eyes lit up, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he picked it directly by hand and put it into the fairy lotus. But then he glanced at his feet and was startled.
There is a large circular hole, about three or four steps square. The cave body goes down vertically, and the underground is pitch black and extremely deep.
