Chapter 385: Return to Santu River
"It's all small soldiers and generals, so there's no need for us to do it." Xuanyuan Jian snorted coldly, making an evaluation.
"Okay, okay." I waved my hand and said, "I asked you guys to come out, not to participate in the Demon War. I have something else to ask you guys."
"Oh? Just ask me if you have anything." The demon refining pot shook and jumped to my side, and said dingly: "There is nothing in the world that I don't know yet."
Fu Xiqin and Xuanyuan Jian each snorted coldly, as if they were very disdainful of the words of the Demon Refining Pot.
"It would be best to know everything." I ignored the attitudes of Fu Xiqin and Xuanyuan Sword, and directly grabbed the demon refining pot and asked him: "I encountered a river at the end of the Yellow Spring. It asked me to ask him about his life experience."
"Are you talking about the end of the underworld?" The demon-refining pot was pulled, and I was obviously very unhappy, but my question attracted his attention.
"Does that river not remember anything? I just turned around and forgot what I said?"
"Yes! It's it!" I slapped my thighs and said with a smile: "So, you really know what it is called."
"Who doesn't know him!" The Demon Refining Pot smiled and said, "I guess everyone except himself remembers who he is."
"No way?" I was stunned. How could this happen?
However, after listening to the words behind the Demon Refining Pot, I began to understand a little why the river was a little unsightly.
His name is Wangchuan...
**********
I believe that as long as the player of the Eastern Continental Ghost Clan will still remember the river that comes out of the novice village, connects the city of Death and the tomb of Heroes, the river that comes and goes without going and can never turn back.
I never thought that the river was the memory-lost river that Yunyun and I encountered when we were in the Western Continent. Although no matter how we look at it, these two places should not appear on the same coordinates, they did figure it out.
In other words, one of the original conjectures of Chuanya and Xiaohua was confirmed, that is, Huangquan is indeed another channel connecting the East and West continents besides the Ark and the Maritime Silk Road.
Wangchuan is actually the division between the Yellow Spring and the Underworld, and there are lonely ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, that is, the black shadows that Yunyun and I saw. When we were pulled in front of Wangchuan, our feet were actually already on the Eastern Continent, but at that time, Yunyun and I didn’t know it.
Wangchuan also has another name, called Santu River. Because the water flow will be divided into three types: slow, ordinary and rapid according to the behavior of the deceased during his lifetime, it is called "Santu". However, in the game, it becomes several branches of Wangchuan. One of them is the segment that Yunyun and I had seen in the Blood Purgatory, while the other segment is on the edge of the City of Wude Death.
Just like the cycle of life and death can only be crossed by reincarnation, there is only one way to cross that section of the river. That is the lotus lantern boat on the river. There is no other way. If the player does not want to cross the river by boat, or tries to wade through the river, he will definitely be pulled to the bottom of the river and will never be able to leave the hero's tomb.
Because according to the Demon Refining Pot, the river water of the "Santu River" not only has no buoyancy, but also has a very poison that can corrode the soul. As long as the soul goes into the water, there will never be a chance to go ashore. The pain of never being reincarnated and the cold river water make those water ghosts jealous of other souls who have hope for reincarnation. Therefore, as long as the soul falls into the water, they will rush up, pull it into the bottom of the river, and become one of them.
Of course, I wouldn't believe that once a player falls into the water, he will never be able to live with him. However, if you want to contact Wangchuan, it is definitely not possible to get into the water from the Wude City. Because if you do that, you will be sent to the resurrection site and resurrected immediately if I can't wait until I say something to the amnesia guy.
In other words, if I want to repay this task and don’t want to go to the Blood Purgatory again, I can only go to the other end with the lotus lantern.
I originally thought that this task could only be completed after I got the Impersonator account, but now it seems that I can go back to the novice village again. And my novice village return talismans that are almost moldy in the bank can finally come in handy.
Walking on the quiet street, I gradually relived the scenes when I first came to the Eastern Continent. Now, there are almost no one in the novice village, and only NPCs are still performing their duties in a daze.
On a whim, I didn't rush to find Wangchuan to complete the task, but slowly walked along this old street.
"Well! I learned tailoring skills here. I don't know how that old guy is now." While talking to Xuanyuan Sword and Hu Chuhai, I also visited NPCs who had helped me a lot in the past one by one.
"Hungry————”
A sharp and sad voice suddenly came into my ears and attracted my attention.
His mouth is like a needle tip, his abdomen is like a big drum, and he holds a big cake that has been stored for many years in his hand. He only says "Hungry-ah--" in his mouth. He has disappeared for so many years, but he didn't expect that he is still the same, still so hungry, and so crying.
By the way!
I laughed and pulled out the demon refining pot.
"Is there any way to make this guy full?" I asked the demon refining pot by pointing at the figure of the hungry ghost at the needle.
In fact, this is just a task for a novice village. For me now, it doesn’t have much impact on whether or not it is completed. But this is the only task I haven’t completed in a novice village back then, and I feel a little regretful.
And as far as I know, no one in the Eastern Continent has completed all the tasks issued by the thirty-six ghosts so far. It is absolutely impossible to say that I am not curious.
It's understandable that I couldn't finish it before. Now there is an old monster who claims to be omniscient. Of course, I have to make up for the regrets I left behind at the beginning.
"Do you want this guy to eat?" The demon-refining pot shook his body and said, "That's not simple, just stuff that cake into his stomach."
Damn! Saying it is like saying nothing.
This guy's mouth is only as big as a needle tip, so I won't have to beat the cake into juice and let him suck it in?
Besides, judging from the size of the needle tip, it is estimated that even a little thicker juice can block it.
Wait for a moment...
Just as I was about to say a few words to the demon refining pot, I suddenly came to my senses and asked softly: "Are you saying, use it to stuff it directly into his stomach?"
"Nonsense!" said the Demon Refining Pot: "Or do you think that guy's mouth can eat anything?"
"But……"
I plucked my hair, but I really didn't understand how to stuff something into a person's stomach without passing through my mouth. Could it be that I wanted to break my stomach? I don't seem to be a surgeon and I don't have that skill.
"Tell you the truth." Seeing my confused look, Refining Demon Hu shook his body and said, "This guy was an insatiable and delicious ghost in his previous life, so he would be punished like this after his death. He could not eat anything. If you want to save him, you have to stuff the cake into his stomach. As for how to break the belly, ask Xuanyuan Sword and don't come to me."
Do you really need to start an operation?
I asked hurriedly, "If my stomach is cut open, will you die?"
"You're a big-headed ghost!" Lian Yaohu laughed and scolded: "He's already a ghost, why are you afraid of death!"
Yes, I nodded suddenly, why didn’t we think of it before?
But then again, there are so many players in the ghost clan in the world, and there are still many who are obsessed with completing tasks. No one of them thought of?
"But..." I was thinking about this question, and the Demon Refining Pot continued: "This guy is one of the thirty-six ghosts in hell, and his body is very resentful. If it weren't for weapons above the artifact level, it wouldn't have been able to break his stomach."
So that's it...
I nodded. This old guy was quite proactive in answering questions. Xuanyuan Sword is not just a magical artifact, but one of the top ten ancient artifacts. Of course, it can do what the magical artifact can do.
However, the answer given to me by the Demon Refining Pot triggered another guess from me.
If this mission must have a magical weapon to complete, does that mean that there is a very likely hidden unknown magical weapon in this hero tomb?
Of course, this is just my guess. No one can guarantee whether the way to complete this task will be to wait for the player to use the return to the novice village.
Besides, even if there are magical artifacts hidden in the hero tomb, it is still a problem whether it is still there. After so long, maybe some player will have taken it away long ago.
After someone took away the artifact, he might not have to come to do this task, so that poor guy has been hungry until now and has not eaten the big cake in his hand.
Shaking my head, I picked up the Xuanyuan Sword and prepared to call the hungry ghost from the needle. The Demon Refining Pot hurriedly said, "You don't really want the Xuanyuan Sword to cut open that guy's belly, right?"
"What, is there any other problem?" I turned my head and asked.
The demon-refining pot shook in front of me and whispered: "Because this guy's resentment is too deep, I'm afraid that if the Xuanyuan Sword is stained with something dirty, don't regret it."
"No?" I took a big step back. Fortunately, the old guy reminded me that if something really happened and broke the Xuanyuan Sword, it would be too late to regret it.
If you want to talk about the magic weapon, I still have a Dragon Seal Blade in my hand. Use it to try it?
No more!
Fenglong Blade and Xuanyuan Sword are my heartfelt treasures now. Even if its power is not as powerful as Xuanyuan Sword, if it is broken, I will still feel distressed.
Chapter completed!
