Chapter 11 Self-named Fire Scorpion, Half-Demon Body
Wu Jie had seen the source of the Da Chi River, which was a series of small streams in the mountains that converged at the foot of the mountains. They grew from small to large in a river channel of less than ten miles, and quickly merged into a wide river.
He has also seen some other famous rivers, such as the world-famous Jinsha River, which originates from the snow-capped mountains. The streams formed by the melted water from the snow-capped mountains gather together in the towering mountains, forming the famous rapid river.
, and also brought many precious resources from the inaccessible mountains into the rolling world - the most valued of which is naturally gold, from which the Jinsha River got its name.
Most of the rivers in the world are like this. They all come together from streams. But the Styx River is completely different. It emerges suddenly from a chaotic void. It has no source. It is a cave high up in the mountain. Inside the cave
The blackness rolled out like ink and turned into the slowly flowing River Styx.
Wu Jie stood at the source of the River Styx, staring at the dark cave for at least half an hour, until his eyes were sore, but he still couldn't see any clue.
"Jasmine, did you see something?"
"It can't be seen with the naked eye. If I can come in real form, I can forcefully analyze it with my spiritual mind..."
"Are there any consequences?"
"...With a sweep of my spiritual mind, this mountain will probably be broken into pieces; and then maybe the entire Netherworld will be shattered because it cannot contain my breath. If you throw a big iron ball into a small tea cup, it is natural that the cup will be completely shattered."
"It's a great blessing to the world and a great blessing to the underworld that you can't come here in person!"
Wu Jie's sigh came from the bottom of his heart: The mountain in front of him is tall and majestic. Because of the dim light, he can't see the top or the end. He can only see the endless stretch, which is really majestic and spectacular.
Just because I wanted to know the origin of the River Styx, such a spectacular mountain was destroyed, and it may even affect the entire underworld. This is really a pity and crazy!
Fortunately, as the weapon spirit of the Heavenly Book World, Jasmine cannot escape.
Wu Jie smiled, took long strides, and jumped on the steep mountain wall, like the most agile ape, completely ignoring the rugged and dangerous terrain, and in a moment he crossed the cliff in front of him.
After crossing the outer cliffs, the legendary Ghost Valley appeared in front of him.
The Ghost Valley is very ordinary. It is just a small valley. There are neither exotic flowers nor rare birds and animals in the valley. You can't even see ghosts or soul fires. There is only an ordinary stone house with a piece of stone outside.
It's a very small field, with some flowers and plants of unknown types growing sparsely in the field, that's all.
If this scene appeared in the human world, there would be nothing surprising, but seeing such a peaceful and tranquil scene in the netherworld is like a paradise!
Wu Jie nodded secretly, knowing that he had found the right place.
Except for the advanced Taoist monks, who would manage such a small paradise in this netherworld?
He hurriedly descended from the cliff and stopped some distance away from the stone house. He used magic to create a unique sound-transmitting paper crane of his sect, and sent the voice into the stone house.
"Excuse me, Master Changsun, is your uncle living here in seclusion? The twenty-seventh generation disciple Wu Jie wants to see you!"
The paper crane slowly flew in from the open door of the stone house, and then Wu Jie lost his sense of it. A moment later, a tall and burly figure walked out of the stone house.
This is a man wearing heavy armor, with red beard and hair. Between the flame-like red hair and the same flame-like beard is a bronze face, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. The whole person is full of vitality and has a kind of
He has a convincing majestic temperament, or should we say righteousness. A few small scars on his cheeks not only did not damage his righteousness, but gave him an extra sense of courage.
His hair is very long and tied back randomly, and he looks quite artistic. This is the only part of his body that has a "soft" feeling. Other than that, he is purely strong and hard, as if he is hard.
The stone is average.
"Twenty-seventh generation disciple? Has Master Tie Li ascended or sat down?" He was obviously very concerned about Qingyang Temple, and the first sentence he spoke was to ask about the situation of our sect, "I remember that he should only be 1,300 this year.
Years old, it is said that the life span has not been completely exhausted."
Wu Jie naturally knew what he was talking about and answered respectfully: "Master Liu successfully broke through the eighth level of Huandan fifteen years ago, and then successfully transcended the tribulation and ascended to the sky. So this sect recruited ten years ago
This group of disciples is the twenty-seventh generation."
Uncle Zhangsun nodded and led Wu Jie into the house.
This stone house looked very simple and inconspicuous from the outside, but there was something special inside. As soon as Wu Jie stepped through the door, he noticed that the surroundings suddenly lit up. When he looked closely, he saw that there was a small oasis in front of him.
A pool of spring water formed a small lake, with weeping willows lining the shore. Not far away, there were some rough-style furniture, and in the middle of these furniture, there was a wide stone bed, where this uncle was presumably resting.
place.
Opposite the furniture is a small martial arts training ground. There are no ordinary weapons in the training ground, only a pair of giant axes that are taller than Wu Jieren. They are probably the weapons used by Master Changsun's uncle.
Looking up, the sun cannot be seen above the blue sky and white clouds, but the sky is emitting soft white light, making people feel as if they have returned to the sun world; looking towards the lake, there seem to be fish and shrimps swimming around.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Wu Jie would never have believed that there was such a wonderful magic in the world that could create such a paradise in the netherworld!
"This...is this?"
"Haha! Every disciple who comes to visit me for the first time is similar to you." Master Changsun's uncle laughed loudly and took Wu Jie to sit down at the stone table. He casually picked up the huge stone teapot on the table and gave it to both of them.
Pouring a cup of tea, "Don't ask questions, try my tea first!"
Wu Jie stood up and thanked him once, then carefully brought the teacup to his mouth and took a sip.
This tea tastes very light, just like vegetable leaves soaked in water. But after taking a sip of the tea, I feel that my whole body has been washed from head to toe. Not only is it refreshed, but I also have a sense of clarity.
The feeling of translucence and indescribable comfort.
"How does my homemade Qinghun tea taste?"
"It's really amazing!"
"...I'm asking about the taste."
Wu Jie hesitated for a moment and said honestly: "It's like pickled vegetable leaves."
Uncle Changsun burst out laughing. His laughter made the water on the lake ripple, the branches of the weeping willows shook, and Wu Jie's head buzzed.
After a while, he stopped, patted Wu Jie on the shoulder, and said casually: "You are not the first to comment on my Qinghun Tea like this, and you probably won't be the last. So don't worry - alas
! The taste of you humans is still too simple, and you cannot appreciate this complex and exquisite taste!"
Wu Jie was stunned and didn't understand what he meant by "you people".
"Oh? Military Master Li, didn't he tell you? I am not a human, but a monster... to be precise, I am a half-demon." The light on Master Changsun's uncle's hand flashed, transforming into the phantom of a scorpion, "The body is human,
The soul is a scorpion."
Wu Jie was startled and looked at this uncle in surprise, who looked like a human being, but could not see any trace of a monster.
"With my magic power, it's easy to prevent you from seeing your true identity." Uncle Changsun was not angry and said with a smile, "Besides, what's so good about a scorpion? Even if I'm bigger, it's just that.
A big scorpion. Have you never seen a huge monster?"
Wu Jie suddenly blushed and laughed awkwardly.
"Commander Li asked you to visit me. Did you tell me anything?"
Wu Jie thought for a while and shook his head - the mission issued by Mr. Huntian was just to visit the Great Uncle Changsun in Yinhun Valley and see how he was doing. There were no other requirements.
"So...are you good at martial arts?"
Wu Jie nodded quickly: "This disciple does have some experience in martial arts."
Uncle Changsun stood up and with a wave of his hand, the two of them suddenly moved to the martial arts training ground. He casually picked up the pair of astonishingly large axes and played with them twice, creating a fierce atmosphere.
"Come on! Let me try your skills!"
Wu Jie took a deep breath, turned the invisible sword into a three-foot green blade, raised it in front of him and saluted.
"Please forgive me for being rude, disciple, and look at the sword!"
As he spoke, a cold light flashed, and he rushed out with his sword. In an instant, he was in front of Master Changsun's uncle, and he raised his sword to stab.
This sword was incredibly fast, but it failed to hit—this great uncle was tall and had a huge weapon, but his speed was not slow at all!
Wu Jie was not surprised when he missed a move. With a flip of his wrist, the sword light drew an arc and slashed out in the direction of the shadow that flashed in the corner of his eye just now.
The second sword also missed, but he immediately struck with the third sword.
With a bang, the invisible sword and the giant ax collided, and a powerful force came from him, making him take half a step back.
Uncle Changsun said "huh?" in surprise, and then swung his giant ax and chopped it off on the head.
Naturally, Wu Jie couldn't be hit by such a simple move. He slipped out as if skating on his feet. He dodged the giant ax with his sword, and with a backhand, he cut into the arm of Master Changsun's uncle.
The timing of this sword was so clever that Master Changsun had to use another giant ax to block it. The giant ax and the long sword collided head-on. Wu Jie only felt that the power coming from the ax was like an overwhelming force, and he could no longer hold the weapon.
, the invisible sword flew out of his hand, and the whole person staggered back several steps.
Just as he was about to admit defeat, Master Changsun's uncle was already laughing loudly and said happily: "You have a good foundation and can learn my unique martial arts! After the junior descendant of Military Master Li, there is finally someone who can learn my martial arts combination.
