Chapter 690 Source, End
“There is so much noise outside.”
Deep at the mouth of the cliff waterfall, Lin Wangshu and Hua Xiaolan walked on the water.
Listening to the loud noises coming from outside the cave, both of them looked a little worried.
After entering the entrance of this waterfall, there is also a very deep cave inside, with twists and turns, and after walking for a long time, it still has not reached the end.
However, the water in the Yin Spring here is indeed very fast, the water is constantly splashing with large waves, and the number of black spring fish is also quite dense. If it weren't for Lin Wangshu's water-bending technique, Hua Xiaolan might not be able to stand firm in this water.
"We're almost there."
Lin Wangshu said softly: "I can feel that there is a difference in the water flow ahead."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two turned around. After passing a corner, I was shocked by the scene in front of me and stopped in my tracks.
There is no road here anymore, it is the end of the cave.
The ceiling of the cave, which was originally only about one person high, suddenly suddenly rose up to a height of thirty or forty feet, with obvious traces of man-made chiseling. Likewise, the cave, which was originally narrow enough for only two or three people to pass through, suddenly became clearer here.
In other words, someone widened and raised this place to make a huge stone chamber.
There is only one large circular stone door in this stone chamber.
This stone door is carved with countless evil ghosts, yakshas, and horrific scenes of purgatory. A circle of palm-sized characters is carved on the edge of the stone door, faintly emitting a dark light. A circle the size of a bowl is opened in the center of the stone door. A small window, from which the Yin spring water continuously gushes out.
Behind the stone gate, you can vaguely hear the sound of rolling torrent, like a rushing river.
"It seems that this place is the source of the Yin Spring."
Lin Wangshu said solemnly: "This stone gate has blocked my exploration. There is clearly water behind it, but I can't feel it at all."
"Master Ruolin, the legend you mentioned before is true..." Hua Xiaolan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Behind this stone gate is the River Styx."
"Not bad."
Lin Wangshu nodded: "Looking at the countless scenes of purgatory ghosts carved on this stone door, I'm afraid it means the underworld - but why use a door to seal the River Styx?"
"Don't study these now." Hua Xiaolan said softly: "Master Lin, have you noticed that there are no black bone fish here?"
"...Yes!"
Lin Wangshu was shocked: "There are no black bone fish here anymore! But we just walked along and it became clear that there are a lot of fish in the water. Where did they come from?"
"I'm afraid the secret is In this door, or in this stone room."
Hua Xiaolan said softly: "Master Lin, I see that the runes on the stone door seem a bit familiar. Let me take a look first..."
"Let me explore this stone chamber."
Lin Wangshu smiled and nodded: "There are a lot of Yin springs here, maybe I can use them."
After dividing the work, the two started immediately Busy work.
The loud noises outside the cave kept coming, and they didn't know what happened, but at least one thing was certain - if Fu Qingzhou was really dead, there should be no movement.
Since it is still ringing, that...means he can still hold on?
Of course, there is no room for them to dawdle now.
Hua Xiaolan waved her arms and muttered something. Her eyes turned into a dark green color. Countless bugs slowly crawled out of her beautiful silver Miao headdress, and the bugs opened. The transparent wings flew towards the stone gate and landed on the characters on the outer circle of the stone gate.
"It's an ancient Miao talisman."
She murmured to herself: "The incantation left by the carver on it...is it something from Lingwu Mountain? I haven't seen it at all. But... let's try to understand these words first, maybe there are clues... Master taught me some things back then..."
Seeing that she was already involved in it, Lin Wangshu turned his head and slowly He rolled up his sleeves and put his hand into the water in the stone chamber.
Then, with a thought, he released the water-proofing technique from his body.
The next moment, the Yin Spring water touched his skin, and the strong corpse poison immediately caused a strange green-black color to appear on his arms. Soon, some small blisters appeared on the skin, and the green-black color was still there. Spreading up his arms.
Lin Wangshu looked calm and unflustered, and took out the sachet given by Hua Xiaolan before in a steady and fast manner.
He opened the sachet with one hand, without even looking at the contents inside, and just slapped it into his mouth. Then he frowned slightly and forcefully swallowed the contents in his mouth without even chewing.
In less than two breaths, the blisters and bluish-black color on his arms began to fade rapidly.
"The poisonous technique of Ten Thousand Poison Mountains is really wonderful." Lin Wangshu smiled and started to circulate his true energy.
The next moment, the originally turbulent water suddenly calmed down!
The water flowing out of the central window of the stone gate seemed to have been forcibly cut off and sealed with a transparent film. No more drops could flow out, and it just swirled in the window.
“Huh…”
Lin Wangshu took a long breath, his face obviously pale.
Along the way, he opened water for Fu Qingzhou and Hua Xiaolan, and led them to swim quickly in the water. After that, he fought against the evil slime, set up a small storm formation... and never stopped.
Now, he forced the water to freeze again, and the true energy was almost exhausted.
But he had no intention of resting. After exhaling, he recited the magic formula again.
As the obscure spell was spoken one by one, a stream of blue, ink-like strands emerged from his fingers and swayed in the water.
They quickly blended into the strange black color of the Yin Spring water, just like the blood vessels and veins in the human body, forming a dense network and spreading throughout the pool.
"Is this the end of the Styx River?"
At this moment, Hua Xiaolan's green eyes returned to normal.
She said in astonishment: "It was the people from Lingwu Mountain who forcibly extracted part of the Styx water so that they could use its power to practice the art of controlling corpses?"
She failed to see it. I understand all the words on the stone gate, but if I want to understand one thing, I don’t necessarily need to understand everything.
When she was a child, Hua Xiujiang, the master of Wandu Mountain, once taught Hua Xiaolan some ancient Miao characters. She recognized 70% of the characters, and after piecing together the contents, she roughly understood what was written on them.
This is the end of the Styx. In order to gain the power from it, Lingwu Mountain just gathered the strength of the clan to build this stone gate.
On the other side of the mountain wall is the River Styx. The powerful witchcraft on the stone gate can penetrate the mountain wall, continuously draining the power of the River Styx, and eventually turns into this gloomy spring.
Back then, the disciples of Lingwu Mountain used the strong death energy and corpse poison in the Yin Spring, as well as the mysterious power in the Styx River, to develop the technique of controlling corpses that was feared by the world.
At this point, although Hua Xiaolan still cannot understand the witchcraft on the characters, she also understands what they are doing.
It is they who are constantly extracting the power of the Styx...
"Master Lin."
Hua Xiaolan said solemnly: "I suspect, whether it is a monster or a black bone fish, , are all formed due to the power of the Styx. As long as we erase the characters on it, maybe..."
"I also discovered it."
At this time, Lin Wangshu. He also took his hand out of the pool water.
After he pulled out his hand, the cut off water flow at the small window of the stone door immediately resumed, and the water in the stone chamber slowly regained its rapidity.
He looked a little sluggish, with no color on his face, but his tone remained stable and calm: "There is a force in the water that I can't understand. After leaving the stone chamber, they seemed to be pulled by some kind of force and gathered on their own. It turned into those black-bone fish - in other words, those black-bone fish were not a natural product."
Hua Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "Then so is the monster?"
"Yes. "
Lin Wangshu nodded and said affirmatively: "You can understand the black bone fish as the most elementary evil spirits. They are like the water flow that gathers after light rain falls, dense and endless; and evil spirits , that is, small puddles, small ponds, and even large ponds.”
"Of course one rain will not form so many puddles and ponds, but when it rains continuously for hundreds of thousands of years, it will naturally form ponds as vast as stars."
Hear this. , Hua Xiaolan's face turned pale: "Then, even if the rainwater is cut off, the pond cannot be emptied. Doesn't this mean..."
Even if they destroy the stone gate now, they cannot make the existing evil spirits escape. disappear.
"No, there is a way."
Lin Wangshu said in a deep voice: "Since all monsters are transformed by Yinquan, then...it only takes two steps to teach They all dissipate.”
"The first step, as Miss Xiaolan said, is to destroy the characters on the stone gate and cut off the Yin Spring."
"The second step is to drain the Yin Spring water, so that the monsters can It will become water without roots."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a mirror.
It is the most precious treasure of the Spiritual Mirror Sect, the Mysterious Mirror.
“Since a small wind and rain formation has been set up in the tiankeng, I might try it through this mirror.”
