Black Myth: Tang Dynasty

Chapter 214 Dead Peach Tree, Strange God Statue

Without any hesitation, Li Daoxuan 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 that it is an isolated island, forgotten in this land where dead souls travel.

As soon as he got ashore, the sound of waves sounded in his ears, and he saw that the Styx River was turbulent again, and the vortex appeared again.

Whoa!

There was a storm in the Styx River, and it seemed that the monsters at the bottom felt very unwilling and wanted to involve Li Daoxuan 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 River touched Dushuo Mountain, it seemed to be stopped by an invisible force, and it quickly became quiet.

The wind and waves that were raised also fell straight into the river, as if the skeleton of the animal had been removed.

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

As if this Dushuo Mountain cut off all prying eyes from the outside world, even the Lord of the Underworld, the Xudu Ghost King, couldn't set his eyes on this place.

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

He looked curiously at this sacred mountain recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing", what kind of secret does it hold?
What did the two door gods, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, leave behind on Dushuo Mountain to make this mountain so special that the water of the Styx River cannot be touched, and it is difficult for ghosts to set foot on it.

Li Daoxuan's curiosity was aroused and he wanted to find out, but he was not impulsive.

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

Li Daoxuan didn't enter the mountain rashly, but chose to sit at the foot of the mountain, and while he separated his avatar to use 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 basically recovered.

In fact, he didn't suffer any serious injuries, but he suffered some backlash when he manipulated the huge waves of the Styx with the water movement magical power, and coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. He is much better now.

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

The celestial eyes bloomed with divine brilliance, raising Li Daoxuan's eyesight continuously. His eyes pierced through the infinite ghosts and shot towards the unfathomable bottom of the 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, what he looked at was nothingness.

His eyesight has reached its limit, it's not that Zhenjun Erlang's celestial clairvoyance is not good, it's purely because of his current cultivation base that he can only develop it to this extent.

Supernatural powers are supernatural powers, and cultivation bases are cultivation bases. No matter how powerful a supernatural power is, if the cultivation base is not enough, it will not be able to exert its full power.

If Zhenjun Erlang was here, not to mention the mere Styx, even in the blue sky, the ends of the earth, and the ends of the earth, he would be able to see clearly and deeply into the universe.

Li Daoxuan shook his head, excessively urging Tianyan clairvoyance, which made him faintly dizzy.

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

Li Daoxuan turned around and looked at Dushuo Mountain.

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

According to the "Shan Hai Jing", 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 will not stretch for three thousand miles."

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

Wisps of cloud and mist emerged from the bottom of his feet, lifted him up, and flew to the top of Dushuo Mountain.

One of the 72 magical powers of Disha, Zhaoyun!
Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious clouds, and he was not flying fast. He was very cautious, holding the Five Thunder Talisman in his hand, ready to make a move at any time.

With the supernatural power of attracting clouds, he can escape at any time.

But what surprised him was that Dushuo Mountain, which looked very unusual, didn't move at all. It was just like an ordinary mountain, except for a huge and shriveled peach tree.

Li Daoxuan quickly came to the top of the mountain, he drifted down slowly, and finally saw the trunk of this peach tree.

It was a dead tree that had long since died. Even though it had a huge body and thousands of branches, none of them could change the fact that it was dead long ago.

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

The bark is almost invisible, only the bare torso remains, and there are even many bite marks on the torso, as if it has been eaten by countless mouths, so that the sacred tree that spans three thousand miles has become the present ugly look.

Li Daoxuan caressed the scarred peach tree, imagining the scene of it being bitten and eaten, and a chill rose in his heart.

After a while, he turned around and stood on the top of the mountain overlooking the Styx River and the majestic ghost gate at the foot of the mountain.

Li Daoxuan was slightly taken aback, wondering if it was a coincidence, he found that the statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei were looking at the top of the mountain next to the ghost gate, and they were looking at him.

Wait a minute!
A terrifying thought suddenly jumped out of his mind.

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

He thought about it carefully and found that it was true.

Standing beside the ghost gate, the statue is majestic and majestic, with slightly lowered eyes, watching the dead souls entering the underworld.

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

The idol... can move?
Are they not dead things?
This thought made Li Daoxuan's back a little cold. If this is the case, then there must be some secret hidden in these two statues.

The sacred mountain that separates the Styx from prying eyes, the huge peach tree that is eaten and bitten, and the god statue that changes the line of sight...

The secret of Dushuo Mountain is like the faint clouds and mist around it, gathering and dispersing invisible and difficult to touch.

When Li Daoxuan was standing on the top of the mountain, concentrating on his thoughts, a ghost figure hid behind the peach tree at some point, watching him silently.

"Who?"

Li Daoxuan turned around suddenly, his eyes were cold.

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

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

He took out the demon mirror from his pocket, 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, wanting to see who was the sacred one, but unexpectedly chased him to Dushuo Mountain quietly.

But when he saw the figure trapped in the bronze mirror clearly, he couldn't help being stunned, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

In the mirror is a timid little girl.

She looked only six or seven years old, dirty all over, holding an old rag doll, hiding in the corner of the bronze mirror, like a frightened cub.

When Li Daoxuan looked over, she shrank her head, her small body trembling.

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

Li Daoxuan did not let down his vigilance because of her pity, and those who can appear in Dushuo Mountain may not be simple characters.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"Answer obediently, and I will let you out."

Hearing this, the little girl raised her head, a pair of big black and bright eyes appeared on her dirty little face, her eyes were a little scared, but also a little curious.

She opened her mouth and pointed to her tongue.

Li Daoxuan was startled, because she didn't have a tongue in her mouth, obviously this little girl was a mute when she died, just like the former sister Yu.
