Chapter 402 That was the death of her last life

Lin Du and his group left the city, and Hou Cang found that Lin Du was still going deeper into the ghost world.

"What else do you want to do?" Hou Cang was puzzled.

"Equivalent exchange, I have to get the water of the Styx for Granny Ma." Lin Du said, "What about you? Didn't she ask for anything when she sent you down?"

Ni Jinxuan shook her head, "Granny said that she didn't want you to not come back and make a loss."

Lin Du raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't comment.

The Styx is outside Fengdu. Lin Du asked the ghost for directions and headed straight for the Styx.

The ghost who was asked for directions saw the white-haired ghost running away before he finished speaking, and couldn't help muttering, "I haven't finished yet, normal ghosts shouldn't go to the Styx, that's just evil ghosts who don't want to reincarnate fighting, they're just waiting to die."

The underworld is always gloomy, the deeper you go, the colder it feels.

The group walked very fast, they didn't have much time.

"Don't you think that the underworld city and the outside of the city seem to be completely different?" Yuan Ye shivered, "The city is bustling, but there seems to be no sound outside the city."

"They are all ghosts, it's not normal to be bustling, right?" Yan Qing held a book in one hand and a pen in the other, and followed Lin Du's steps closely.

"I see the Styx!" Ni Jinxuan shouted excitedly, pointing to the front.

They walked for nearly two days. Although the road was quiet, there were no surprises because they were traveling together.

Hou Cang held the spirit sword and Ni Jinxuan held the cloud spirit whip. They were powerful enough to make Lin Du look like a weak and frail ghost.

"Strange, this river is silent, lifeless, and not flowing." Ni Jinxuan stood close to Lin Du, looking at the river that seemed to be so close.

At the moment they approached, the extremely silent Styx suddenly surged and boiled, the evil ghosts roared, and countless hands stretched out, as if to pull the new ghosts approaching directly down, and climbed to the shore by stepping on the stairs made of the new ghosts.

Those hands were swollen and swollen. As soon as they came out of the water, they seemed to be still attached to the water surface. The hands that broke through the tension layer of the river water began to rot in an instant, and the flesh and blood melted into the Styx. It was as if it sank into a quagmire, still silent.

Ni Jinxuan stared at the scene in front of her with wide eyes, and Yan Qing beside her vomited directly.

Compared with the bloody chaos in the previous demon tide, facing this scene at this moment is really challenging to people's visual nerves.

Lin Du turned her head away. Compared with the direct impact, what made her more unbearable at this moment was the countless seven emotions and six desires. Years of heavy greed and anger condensed into resentment, and the yin energy was overwhelming. She was now in the state of a ghost. Although the red rope did not follow, her perception was completely following.

"It's better to be blind." Lin Du sighed.

Ni Jinxuan was a little worried, "This water doesn't look easy to get, Junior Uncle, what do you use to get water?"

"The Styx is dead water. It's not just the water that doesn't flow, but also time." A female voice came out, "For a long time, most ghosts who enter the Styx will never come out again. They really become dead ghosts."

Lin Du turned his head and looked. The man was wearing a red fine gauze robe, with gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, walking in silence, like the only hot and bright color that struggled out of the gloom.

The moment the man appeared, all the hands in the Styx sank, and the gloomy wind dissipated in an instant, returning to silence.

"No one from the ghost world ever comes to take the water from the Styx. Those who want to live will not get close to the Styx, for fear of being completely dissolved. Why would the people above you want to come and take the water?"

Lin Du turned around completely, "Lin Du, a disciple of the Supreme Sect of the Dongming Realm, has seen the Ghost Emperor."

The people behind him tensed up at the same time. Ghost Emperor? What Ghost Emperor? Is it the Five Directions Ghost Emperor who is second only to the Lord of the Underworld?

Then aren't they here to deliver food? Can they still go home?

The Ghost Emperor looked at her for a while, "You are so brave, aren't you afraid that I am here to catch you?"

Lin Du put down his hand to salute, "I am lucky in this life to see the Ghost Emperor, so it is not in vain."

Seeing Lin Du so calm and leisurely, the people behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

See, Lin Du always has a way.

"Oh? You are not afraid of death?"

Lin Du shook his head, "I am greedy and afraid of death, but if you really come to catch us, we may have a chance of winning."

Before the Ghost Emperor could answer, Lin Du raised his hand to form a seal in an instant. At the moment when the Ghost Emperor raised his hand to block the attack, he turned over quickly, condensed an ice cup in his hand, blended into the extremely yin energy, and instantly led the water of the Styx into it. The lifeless water surface suddenly became turbulent. At

that moment, Lin Du also clearly saw another familiar yet unfamiliar face.

That was her death in her previous life.

She was sick and frail, her face was still young, but her hair was gray. She was surrounded by a soul-trapping array, which was undoubtedly set up by her own hands. It trapped the soul for seven days, refused to enter the underworld, and gave up reincarnation.

Lin Du was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why the Styx had this function, and he didn't hear the ghost say it.

The ghost below seemed to see Lin Du's face clearly and was puzzled for a moment, wondering why a person would step into the same river twice. Then, out of instinct, he stretched out his hand and wanted to pull her into the river.

At that moment, a strong ghost power directly pulled Lin Du back alive. The ghost power condensed into a thick chain, directly locking Lin Du's important joints.

"Tell me, how can you, a person who has not yet ascended, talk to me about your chances of winning?" The ghost emperor's voice sounded extremely dangerous.

Hou Cang and Ni Jinxuan saw this and attacked the ghost emperor at the same time.

The ghost emperor just laughed softly, and the attack was shattered before it reached her.

She looked at Lin Du's face, which was completely different from the death scene shown on the Styx, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Hmm?"

"You won with one move, so let's just leave it at that." Lin Du looked into her dark eyes and answered sincerely.

Ghost Emperor: ...

Hou Cang: ???

The Ghost Emperor was silent for a moment, loosened his hand, and didn't know what he was thinking of, "When you grow up to be able to challenge me, come again."

Lin Du uttered a sigh, still facing the Ghost Emperor, and thought of the death scene he just saw. He realized something, packed up and told the people behind him to run.

Several people subconsciously cooperated with Lin Du, turned around and ran.

"You gave up reincarnation, imprisoned yourself in the Dongming Realm, stole a thread from the sky, and now you dare to go to the underworld. Are you really not afraid that we in the underworld will catch your loophole?"

The Ghost Emperor said it coldly, but it sounded completely different to Lin Du.

"Without me, the Dongming Realm would have to die, the Netherworld would have one less territory under its control, and the Thirty-Three Heavens would have one more Dongtian under its control under the pretext of eliminating evil

. If you were the Ghost Emperor, what would you choose?" Lin Du stood in front of her from a distance, raised his hand and pointed at his head, "I have another way of saying that just now

. If you win, I will settle the account with you." The Ghost Emperor looked at the pride and self-confidence between her eyebrows and laughed, "Lin Du, you are practicing the Taoism taught by the Taoist Ancestor, so I will consider it as making a friend of yours in advance. In the future, remember to settle this account." "

No problem." Lin Du answered readily. Having a lot of debts is not a burden, not to mention that this account is actually very light.

The moment Lin Du climbed onto the Styx, the Ghost Emperor realized that Lin Du might not only come to fetch water. "The body of a person who gave up reincarnation is actually in the Styx?"

"Lin Du, are you here to get back the things you left behind?"

The time of the Styx is stopped, which means that there may be countless lines and countless nodes of people here, but they are just relatively still and cannot be touched.

But the Ghost Emperor is different. She was cultivated from the Styx. She is the only ghost cultivator who has mastered the time law of this world and has secured the position of Ghost Emperor. Her name is Shen Tu.

And Lin Du is the first person who jumped out of that established long line and came back.

Shen Tu learned that Lin Du was here and came to see this heretic specifically.

"Am I... carving a boat to find a sword?" Lin Du looked at the Ghost Emperor, testing and verifying.

What she saw was not her death in her previous life, but herself in her previous life.

The Ghost Emperor tilted his head and glanced at the Styx, "Who knows."

Lin Du sighed, "You are making things difficult for me." What

she was most worried about was not anything else, but the questioning of the kids behind her. She hoped that they would run faster and didn't hear it.

How would she make up a story after she got out?

Shen Tu was puzzled. She couldn't understand Lin Du's weird thinking.

Every word he said was beyond her expectations.

Lin Du closed his eyes and shouted to the back, "Listen to me, go forward, don't look back, Ma Po Po has already said, don't look back on the way back, I will catch up soon."

Just this one sentence made the Ghost Emperor understand that Lin Du didn't turn around and run with them when he signaled people to run away at the beginning. It was because of this.

When a living soul comes to the underworld, it must not turn back on the way back, otherwise it will be devoured by the evil ghosts who find it.

Lin Du did this on purpose.

He deliberately asked the group to return first.

"Then, thank you, Ghost Emperor."

Until this moment, Lin Du really owed the Ghost Emperor a favor.

Shen Tu would not kill her or keep her, but it was impossible for Lin Du to take her body out of the Styx alone.

Shen Tu also replied, "No problem."

The woman with a face that was almost gorgeous and dangerous turned to the Styx. When she raised her hand, countless timelines turned into thin threads and passed through her fingertips.

The Styx suddenly became turbulent, and a thin thread was held by Shen Tu. After a moment, Lin Du's reflection suddenly appeared in a silver mirror, but it was real and completely different. It broke through the mirror and appeared in front of Lin Du.

That corpse was just as Lin Du saw when he looked at the Styx.

The mechanisms were exhausted, the body was broken, and the face was filled with inextricable sorrow.

But that was indeed the dress that Lin Du liked.

The child who grew up eating at a hundred houses liked the color blue very much, because there was no land in the world that belonged to her, but only this blue sky, which belonged to her forever.

So she was used to liking blue. It

had always been like this .

That was her, that was herself.

Lin Du's memories came flooding back.

That was... the magical storage treasure that connected her soul.

How could it store all the medicinal materials that she had worked so hard to find and accumulated for her next life? The only way was to go to a place where time stopped.

There was only one place in the world where she could reach and time just stopped.

That was the Styx in the underworld.

A dead soul is supposed to go to a place, so after completing all the arrangements, Lin Du personally threw his body into the Styx.

The body was clean and looked like it had just passed away, but the moment it left the Styx, it began to show signs of weathering and dissipating.

Lin Du raised his hand, touched the body in the air, that self, with his fingertips, and then put his hands together. In an

instant, Lin Du on that timeline began to dissipate.

Just like a snowman condensed by Lin Du's ice and snow power, when winter ended and spring came, it melted into a spring in the forest, ding-donging.

The snowman melted, and the storage ring on her knuckles fell into Lin Du's hands, cold and damp.

It's like... when she was making a snowman, she embedded her favorite jewelry in it.

Lin Du laughed. It was not until this moment that she understood how far she had planned in her previous life.

The snake poison on Mo Lin must be cured by Granny Ma.

Lin Du knew from the beginning that she would meet Granny Ma, so she would definitely meet Granny Ma in this life.

Lin Du is Yan Ye's recognized disciple, and her habit of thinking about things is based on real and specific data.

And if he wants to spy on the root cause of the decline of the Heavenly Dao and want to find out the overall situation of many Dongming Realms, Lin Du will definitely choose to go to the underworld in person.

So when Lin Du reaches the last level, he will definitely go to the underworld, and the best person who can help Lin Du hide his anger is Granny Ma.

And the reason why Lin Du knew the characteristics of the Styx in his previous life was because Granny Ma told him.

Because Granny Ma wants the water of the Styx.

Granny Ma is outside the six realms and not in the five elements, so it is almost impossible for her to die completely.

There is only the water of the Styx that can dissolve the soul.

Granny Ma wants a cup of the water of the Styx, so that when she has lived enough in the future, she can leave easily.

Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, souls return, and eventually they all disperse.

As long as Lin Du finds Granny Ma, he will definitely go to the Styx when he goes to the underworld.

At this time, Lin Du's own cultivation was definitely not weak, and the matter had been revealed to the point that only the rules of the world remained. It was also almost the same as when Lin Du merged with his spirit, but because of the shielding of the secrets, he could not recall his memories, let alone use the storage ring connected to his spirit.

Only the entity remained.

Now that Lin Du had found his body, he had found his entity, and the remaining medicines were all available.

Lin Du stood there and said sincerely, "I'm really amazing."

She was really amazing, she had calculated every step, including her own thinking and timing.

One step was right.

Even if there was a difference in time, the nodes would not be wrong.

Lin Du thought, if his opponent knew that he was so good at planning and calculation, he would probably consider whether to let her come to the table.

She bowed to Shen Tu solemnly, "I will repay this favor in the future."

Shen Tu stood on the shore, looking at the only miracle in thousands of years whose mind transcended the rules, "I'll wait."

Lin Du took the storage ring and ran towards the bastards who were waiting stiffly but dared not turn back.

"No, Junior Master will not be eaten by the Ghost Emperor, right? Or should we turn back?" Yan Qing asked worriedly.

"What did they just say? Why do I always have a bad feeling?" Ni Jinxuan whispered, "That's right, I feel very sad, very sad."

Yuan Ye asked, "Can you make a mirror? Let's look at it?"

"..." Later, he was convinced, "Have you forgotten? Ghost cultivators cannot form images in the mirror, and they have read books into the stomach of a dog? I know everything!"

Yuan Ye: ...Ah?

Lin Du hurriedly caught up, and decided to use the anxious moment to disrupt their thinking, "Run, I have taken the things, why are you standing there! If you don't run, time will pass."

Several people hurriedly ran towards the ghost gate and ran towards their human world.
