"No, the holy fire was swallowed by the Chinese sturgeon." Meng Yao shouted anxiously after seeing the huge Chinese sturgeon swallowing the holy fire in one gulp.
"How could this happen?" Bie Xue and Cui Yingying on the side also had a look of doubt on their faces. Why is this Chinese sturgeon swallowing flames for nothing? Isn't this causing trouble for themselves?
"Don't worry, there is nothing that can carry the holy fire." Geng Fang on the side felt like the old god was there, because he knew how powerful the holy fire was. If the Chinese sturgeon swallowed the holy fire, it was simply asking for death.
"That's not necessarily the case."
Qin Yu glanced at Geng Fang meaningfully. There was really nothing that could carry the flame except the ancient bronze lamp. But at this moment, Qin Yu thought of another scene in his mind, a scene that he had experienced before.
That was the scene I experienced in the holy land of polytheism when polytheism was first eradicated.
In polytheistic churches, there is a ghost mother, and it is rumored that there is another world inside the ghost mother, which is the realm of hungry ghosts. Hungry ghosts can come out through the ghost mother's belly.
In fact, it turns out that this rumor is not wrong. Hungry ghosts did crawl out from the belly of the ghost mother. If this were not the case, Qin Yu would not have obtained the Hungry Ghost King.
Since the Ghost Mother's belly can be connected to the Hungry Ghost Realm, are there any other creatures whose bodies are also connected to other worlds, such as this Chinese sturgeon?
The Chinese sturgeon, with a history of hundreds of millions of years, is called the king of freshwater fish. It is an extremely ancient and mysterious biological race. Qin Yu had vague ideas in this regard before, and the Chinese sturgeon swallowed the sacred fire.
After that, he became even more sure.
Perhaps, the passage to the underworld is actually in the body of the Chinese sturgeon, and this green flame is the bait that attracts the Chinese sturgeon to come out.
In this way, everything is explained. Why did Geng Fang's ancestors say that the devil's land can be found only by bringing the holy fire to the river? This is because the Chinese sturgeon will feel the breath of the holy fire approaching.
Similarly, this can also explain why Cui Yingying has clearly determined the location where she came out of the underworld, but after searching for several days, she still can't find the passage to the underworld.
The passage to the underworld is not fixed, but is located within the body of the Chinese sturgeon. The Chinese sturgeon swims around and will naturally not be found.
"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?" Geng Fang asked with some confusion.
"We'll find out soon. Cui Yingying, you and I come here. The others can stay on the shore and wait for us."
Qin Yu greeted Cui Yingying and then nodded towards Meng Yao. Meng Yao warned: "Be careful and safe."
"Well, I'll be fine."
Giving Meng Yao a comforting look, Qin Yu and Cui Yingying both jumped into the water and followed the direction in which the Chinese sturgeon disappeared.
Qin Yu was sure that the Chinese sturgeon must not be far away. In fact, it was exactly as Qin Yu expected. After he and Cui Yingying floated two kilometers along the Yangtze River, they finally found the Chinese sturgeon on the bottom of the water.
figure.
At this moment, the Chinese sturgeon was sinking quietly on the bottom of the water, but its belly was upward. When Qin Yu and Cui Yingying approached, there was no reaction.
"Qin Yu, is this Chinese sturgeon dead?" Seeing this scene, Cui Yingying said to Qin Yu in surprise.
Cui Yingying is a ghost, so there is no problem talking underwater. However, Qin Yu can't do it. Now he can't use telekinesis. Once he opens his mouth, he will probably be filled with river water. Being able to swim underwater for so long depends on his strength.
physical fitness.
Unable to speak, Qin Yu pointed at the belly of the Chinese sturgeon and gestured towards Cui Yingying, meaning to let Cui Yingying look at the belly of the Chinese sturgeon.
After understanding Qin Yu's gesture, Cui Yingying looked at the belly of the Chinese sturgeon. After a while, she realized something was wrong. The belly of the Chinese sturgeon was growing continuously.
It's as if the belly of this Chinese sturgeon is a balloon. At this moment, someone is constantly inflating the balloon, and the balloon is slowly getting bigger.
"Could it be that the Chinese sturgeon is about to give birth?" Cui Yingying rejected this idea, and then guessed: "Or is the Chinese sturgeon swallowing the green flame and not digesting it, and the green flame is causing trouble in the Chinese sturgeon's body?"
Before Cui Yingying told Qin Yu her guess, another change appeared on the belly of the Chinese sturgeon. On the white belly, a black light spot suddenly flashed. Seeing this light spot, Cui Yingying was stunned for a moment.
, but then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Qin Yu, the passage...the passage is in the belly of this Chinese sturgeon."
As a ghost in the underworld, Cui Yingying is very familiar with the atmosphere of the underworld. As soon as she saw these black light spots, she already felt that they were unique to the underworld.
When Cui Yingying spoke, there was no trace of surprise on Qin Yu's face, because this was what he had expected. On the contrary, there was a trace of regret on Qin Yu's face. This regret was directed at this Chinese nation.
sturgeon.
There is a passage to the underworld in the body of the Chinese sturgeon, and to induce the Chinese sturgeon to come out, the green flame must be used. However, after the Chinese sturgeon swallows the green flame, its life comes to an end.
This ending made Qin Yu sigh. It seems that the meaning of the existence of this Chinese sturgeon is to carry the passage to the underworld. Once the passage to the underworld is opened, the mission of the Chinese sturgeon is completed, and this life has come to an end.
The spring silkworm's silk will not be used up until it dies, and the candle's tears will not dry until it turns to ashes. This Chinese sturgeon is so similar to the spring silkworm and the candle.
As a few minutes passed, the black spots on the abdomen of the Chinese sturgeon became more and more intense, and at the same time, the abdomen became larger and larger. In the end, it was like a balloon that had been inflated to a critical point, suddenly bursting open, and there were bright black lights.
Shooting out from the abdomen, a cold breath instantly swept across the entire river bottom.
"Qin Yu, this is the passage to the underworld. It is really in the belly of the Chinese sturgeon." Cui Yingying looked at the black vortex that appeared in the exploded belly of the Chinese sturgeon, with excitement on her face, and she looked towards Qin Yu in surprise.
shouted.
However, at this time, Qin Yu only glanced at the black whirlpool and then looked away. Qin Yu's eyes fell on a small fish swimming only about an inch next to the black whirlpool.
This small fish swam out from the belly of the Chinese sturgeon. Qin Yu was not sure whether this small fish was the offspring of the large Chinese sturgeon, because fish usually lay eggs and rarely hatch out small fish directly.
But since this small fish swam out from the belly of the Chinese sturgeon, Qin Yu was sure that this small fish must be related to the Chinese sturgeon. At that moment, he stretched out his palm and held the small fish in his palm.
"I'll give you a drop of blood in exchange for your mother's sacrifice to open the passage to the underworld."
Qin Yu put his finger in the mouth of the little fish, and a drop of rich essence and blood dripped out. It was sucked into the stomach by the little fish accurately. After washing away the drop of Qin Yu's essence and blood, the little fish suddenly became
He became active and swam back and forth around Qin Yu very happily.
"Qin Yu, let's go in first."
Cui Yingying on the side couldn't wait any longer. She wanted to go back to confirm whether her family was safe.
Qin Yu nodded and walked towards the black whirlpool. The little fish seemed to be a little afraid of the black whirlpool, but also a little reluctant to let go of Qin Yu. It was swimming back and forth in front of the black whirlpool in a tangled manner.
"Little guy, our fate ends today. If we are destined to meet again in the future, let's leave now." Qin Yu stood in front of the black vortex and whispered towards Xiaoyu.
The black vortex blocked the approach of all the river water, which solved Qin Yu's problem of being unable to speak. And the little fish seemed to understand Qin Yu's words, and nodded its little head towards Qin Yu twice in a humane manner, and then,
It turned around, swam its tail and swam away.
The little fish swam away, and Qin Yu didn't hesitate, turned around, and followed Cui Yingying into the black whirlpool.
Qin Yu and Cui Yingying stepped into the black vortex one after another. Because this was not the first time they entered the underworld, Qin Yu was prepared in advance for the dizzy feeling that would occur instantly when he stepped into the black vortex.
After the dizziness passed, Qin Yu looked forward. Cui Yingying was standing not far in front of him, looking at a corpse on the ground in front of him.
"This should be one of the fourteen ancestors of the Geng family."
Qin Yu's voice rang in Cui Yingying's ears. Cui Yingying looked back at Qin Yu and asked, "How did you judge?"
"It's simple, because of the shell around this man's neck."
Qin Yu pointed at the neck of the corpse on the ground, where there was a piece of shell.
"Many people who live in rivers or seaside like to bring shells, because they think that if they bring shells, they will be protected by the Dragon King, and they will not encounter danger when sailing on the rivers."
Qin Yu's explanation made Cui Yingying unable to refute, and she also agreed with Qin Yu's view.
"However, this person died here, which shows that this passage is not safe, so be careful."
Qin Yu looked forward. This was a black passage, and it was solid. This was the first time Qin Yu encountered such a passage to the underworld. The passage he took last time to enter the underworld was completely different from the passage in front of him.
Same, the passage last time was more like a time and space tunnel.
"I don't know what the passage to the underworld is like. When my father took me through it in an instant," Cui Yingying explained.
Qin Yu didn't say any more and led the way. He and Cui Yingying walked forward one after another. Along the way, the two of them saw several more corpses. After judging, these corpses were all those from Geng Jiayun.
of an ancestor.
The passage was very monotonous, with only endless darkness. In such monotonous darkness, time became meaningless. If Qin Yu hadn't been calculating silently in his heart, he would have forgotten how long the two of them had walked.
It wasn't until a ray of light appeared in front of them that Qin Yu and Cui Yingying stopped.
