Runaway Mengfei is not easy to mess with

Chapter 487 Styx ([-])
"噗嗤" made two soft sounds, and the two figures fell into a deep pool under the deep cliff, causing splashes all over the sky.

After a long time, Xilinglan's head emerged from the pool, and crystal drops of water slid down her face, against the skylight, like bright pearls dyed faintly, beautiful and incomparable.

Not far from her, Mrs. Xiwu also managed to get out of the water, and saw the hibiscus emerging from the blue and clear water of Xiling at a glance, his eyes flashed, and he was a bit absent-minded, but he immediately returned to normal, and his expression was instead He wiped the water off his face calmly, and greeted her: "Let's go ashore first."

The two came out across the water, flew across the water in a few vertical leaps, and found a clean and flat boulder as a place to stay.

Xilinglan used Hengbo Duying's water surface lightness kung fu, and reached the shore faster than Mr. Xiwu, and immediately attracted Mr. Xiwu's eyes. This is the first time he has seen such exquisite kung fu. , the meaning of unconscious appreciation in the eyes is even worse.

"Xilinglan, not bad! This lightness skill is better than that of a teacher!"

"Except for medical science, I am better than you in everything else, right?" Xi Linglan said without shame.

"cut!"

The nervousness of encountering the water trap was dispelled by a gag.

Now the two of them were drenched with water and felt uncomfortable. While practicing their skills to quickly dry their clothes, they began to look at the surrounding environment.

There is a big grotto in front of you. On the top of the mountain, there are several gaps in the mountain wall. The skylight is pouring down from here and falls on the stone wall. Several huge silver mirrors are skillfully inlaid on the stone wall at certain regular angles. , the skylight sprinkled on the silver mirror, after being refracted from various angles, it illuminated about a third of the grotto as bright as day.

Xilinglan lamented the wonderful ideas of the ancients. It is really admirable that it can use its light refraction to improve light sensitivity.

Under the bright light, the area around Xilinglan can be seen at a glance. The rushing water leaps down to form a ten-foot-high waterfall. The water vapor is transpiring, and in mid-air, a small rainbow is formed at the junction of water vapor and light. , across both sides of the dark river.

Although the sound of the water is deafening, and the surrounding walls are bare without any plant decorations, Master Xiwu still admires this scene greatly, and he keeps admiring: "A fairyland on earth, wonderful workmanship, a fairyland!"

Under that rainbow, there is a deep dark river, hideous rocks, and along the dark river, most of the grottoes are hidden in the darkness. Except for the sound of roaring water, this grotto is extremely quiet, without any signs of living things. Xilinglan couldn't help but heighten his vigilance because of the signs.

After falling into the deep pool under the waterfall, the dark river water became gentle and silent, flowing quietly. All the light seemed to be swallowed up after falling on the river surface. It's as if my sanity is being sucked away by the dark river.

Xiwu grabbed Xilinglan and stopped drinking: "Don't look at the water!"

Seeing Xiwu's stern face, with a hint of fear in her eyes, Xilinglan suddenly raised her heart: "Is there a problem with the river water?"

Xiwu nodded, her tone was very heavy, and she was a bit shocked: "If I guessed correctly, this river water is the legendary Styx River water."

"Master, we were just washed down by the water from a height of ten feet, and we didn't lose a single hair. How could we have something to do with the Styx River? Do you want to die that much?"

Xiwu frowned, with a look of ignorance: "The so-called Styx water is not the river of forgetfulness in the underworld as you call it, but the water that flows from the place with the most yang energy to the place with the most yin and coldness through nine turns. , this water turns from yang to yin, representing life from birth to death, the most gloomy, this water can swallow everything..."

Hearing this, Xilinglan interrupted Xiwu: "If this water is the Styx, which can swallow everything, how could we get out of the water just now?"

Xiwu pointed to the rainbow in mid-air, and patiently explained: "Did you see that rainbow? It was borrowed from the skylight and silver mirror, and arranged in the directions of nine curves and gossip. Outside the law, it became the water of the River Styx. This is a burial method unique in legends, and the River Styx guards the tomb chamber, preventing all prying and coveting."

It turned out to be the case.

It was really the first time seeing Xilinglan.

Xiwu looked at the sky, the sunlight coming in through the gap above his head was gradually thinning out, it should be the sun moving westward in the sky, so the grotto slowly darkened, and the magnificent rainbow slowly dissipated in the air.

After a while, the grotto fell into the deep darkness. Fortunately, the two of them were prepared and lit the torches, which barely illuminated a radius of about ten feet around them. Farther away, the darkness seemed to be half condensed, and the light could not be affected anyway. Can't penetrate.

Although Xilinglan has luminous pearls, there is only one luminous pearl. The lighting effect of one luminous pearl is hazy, and it is better to use torches if there are torches.

Although Xilinglan and Xiwu had reached the point where the cold and heat did not invade, but as the darkness fell, a distinct chill slowly climbed up from the stones under their feet.

Master Xiwu took out a porcelain bottle from his pocket, poured out two pills the size of soybeans, and threw one to Xilinglan.

Xilinglan swallowed the pill without hesitation, a warm current rose from the stomach and flowed to the limbs, the warmth made the whole body extremely comfortable.

Xilinglan also lazily asked what kind of medicine it was. According to Master's practice of medicine, there are only good ones and not bad ones.

"Without that ray of sky, the yin and cold air of the Styx River will fill the surrounding area. Once the yin and cold air freezes the tendons and veins, I am afraid that I will be powerless. The yellow powder I just sprinkled is from the yang energy. Extracted from the most abundant plants, it can temporarily suppress the cold air."

"Then how long are we going to stay here?" Xilinglan finally couldn't help asking.

Xiwu looked at the sky, then pinched her fingers and started counting.

"It won't be long. It's noon. The sun will reach its peak, and there will be a ray of light coming down. This time is the time when the yang energy is the heaviest and the yin energy is the weakest. Let's take this opportunity to pass before noon." Styx, otherwise..." The rest of the words, everyone knows it well, so there is no need to say it.

This is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. You must leave as soon as possible. It cannot be said that you have died on the way to the tomb before seeing the shadow of the tomb. How embarrassing it would be!
Xilinglan nodded.

Sure enough, Xiwu's calculations were still very accurate. She has the talent to be a magic stick, but with the effort of a cup of tea, a brighter skylight shone down from the gap above her head, and the silver mirror shone brightly. The whole grotto was much brighter than before. The rainbow in the midair is more magnificent, and it seems that even the length and span have increased.

Before Xiling Lan could take a closer look, a gust of wind passed by her, and Xi Wu had already flown far away, passing by her, said in a low voice, "Hurry up!"
