Chapter 409: The Dark River Under Time, Her True Appearance

Su Mu and Du Ziren took a dragon boat and sailed along the small river in the ancient city towards the depths.

The deeper you go, the fewer ancient buildings there are around you, and the environment becomes increasingly bleak.

After driving for several hours, we finally arrived at the end of the stream.

At the end is a very tall stone gate, which is a hundred meters high. The stone gate is gray-black in color, and it exudes the ancient atmosphere of time. If you look closely, you can find patterns engraved on the stone gate.

It didn't look like a pattern, but more like words. These words were very ancient and it was the first time Su Mu had seen them. He didn't recognize any of them.

However, when looking directly at these ancient characters, there is a sense of déjà vu as if looking directly at the origin. If you look at them for a long time, you will sink into them, so Su Mu shook his head and stopped staring at the words on the stone gate.

"Brother Su, I can only take you here."

Du Ziren clasped his hands together and bowed reverently towards the stone gate.

Because even he could not go "behind the door" without the Queen's permission. This was the only forbidden area, and only Shencha had been there a few times over the years.

He was also a little puzzled. Why did the magic tea seem to have disappeared?

Her presence can no longer be sensed in the entire city?

Could it be that I have offended Senior Su?

However, although Shencha has a somewhat overbearing personality, after being a colleague for so many years, he knows very well that Shencha is not someone who would act recklessly.

He just made random guesses in his mind and didn't dare to ask.

There are some things that he is not supposed to know, for example, the Queen asked him to invite Senior Su here, and he was not clear about the Queen's intentions and purposes. However, he did not want to know. Once some things were known, they would be affected by cause and effect. He dared not get involved in the cause and effect between Senior Su and the Queen, as he could not bear it at all!

The next second, the heavy stone door slowly opened.

Seeing this, Du Ziren wisely jumped off the boat and said, "Brother Su, I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he left the place.

Su Mu looked behind the stone gate and had a feeling that the world behind the stone gate was very dangerous.

However, he didn't seem to be afraid at all, and had no intention of retreating. Instead, he had a strong urge to go and take a look. If he missed it, he would probably regret it later.

In this way, Su Mu drove the dragon boat into the stone gate.

The moment Su Mu completely entered behind the stone gate, the heavy stone door slowly closed.

Wow——

The sound of gurgling water could be heard all around.

The next second, firefly lights lit up, and Su Mu could see the surrounding environment clearly.

This is a dark river!

It is very wide. This underground river is the source of those winding rivers in the ancient city. This underground river probably covers as much as 90% of the city’s area!

The river water is quiet and very clear, without any impurities, and there is a faint fragrance. When you take a sip of it, you will feel your whole soul tremble, and there is an indescribable mysterious feeling.

Su Mu squatted down and touched the water of the underground river. He was shocked to find that the water in this underground river was the same as the river he was guarding.

However, there are some differences, but they are not big, giving a feeling of being different from the same source.

Then, he used his magical power to control water.

With a wave of his hand, drops of river water were controlled to rise up, and his magical powers could be used on this dark river!

However, the effect was greatly weakened, because if he was in the river above, he could easily control entire expanses of water with a wave of his hand.

If I can control it, then my guess should be correct. The source of this dark river should be the river above. It is also possible that my affinity is not high enough, so I cannot directly control this entire dark river. It doesn’t matter. I originally went to refine the long river in order to leave here. What’s the point of controlling the river? !

Next second.

A firefly as big as a cicada flew in front of Su Mu, paused for a while, and then flew forward.

This firefly should be here to lead the way for me.

Su Mu drove the dragon boat, following the fireflies, and slowly headed in a certain direction.

After about half an hour of driving, the fireflies stopped.

Su Mu looked in the direction of the fireflies and saw a very, very large stone bridge that spanned the entire underground river!

On top of the stone bridge, there stands a black stone tower, about nine stories high. It looks very majestic and sacred, but it gives people a sense of loneliness, because the place is dark and deserted, with only the stone tower standing there alone.

For some reason, Su Mu's heart was touched the moment he saw this stone tower.

Looking closely, there seemed to be a figure standing on the stone bridge, looking at him.

The figure looked familiar. Su Mu had seen her once before. This should be the lady.

Su Mu waved his hand and the dragon boat sailed towards the stone bridge. When he got closer, he realized how big the stone bridge was. He looked very small standing in front of it.

He leaped onto the stone bridge and faced the figure.

The figure was surrounded by a faint mist and dark yellow air, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The next second, a figure slowly walked out from the mysterious yellow energy.

The woman was wearing a simple black robe, she looked elegant and extremely beautiful. No, even the word "beautiful" was too pale and powerless to describe her.

Sacred, noble, solemn, all the beautiful synonyms were concentrated on her, even making Su Mu lose consciousness for a moment.

The beauty of this woman is different from that of the magic tea. The beauty of the magic tea can be touched, but the beauty of this woman cannot be touched. It hangs high above the nine heavens, independent and detached from the world, noble and supreme.

In fact, even Shencha has never seen the true appearance of Hou Tu Niangniang. She has always shown her face in "shape" and hidden in the mysterious aura. Others can only see the outline of her figure but cannot see her true appearance.

Su Mu was the first and only person to see the true appearance of Hou Tu Niangniang.

It should be said that with the magnitude of her karma, only Su Mu is qualified to see her true appearance.

"Su Mu, we meet again."

The voice of the Queen Mother Hou Tu, like the sound of dust on the road, echoed in Su Mu's mind and touched his soul. It had a majesty that could not be protested or disobeyed.

This is very scary, because only when you reach a certain extremely high level can you make your words come true, and every word you say is the truth!

Even the current Su Mu could not see through the cultivation level of Hou Tu Niangniang. Everything on her seemed to be shrouded in fog, and he could not see clearly.

"Yes, we meet again."

For some reason, although it was the second time he saw her, Su Mu felt very familiar with her, as if he had seen her countless times, and his guard was let down.

ps: I have the flu and a fever, so there is only one chapter today. I am very sorry. I will resume normal updates tomorrow.
