The Classic of Mountains and Seas Through Ancient and Modern Times

Chapter 66 It's Better To Be Famous
The so-called other shore refers to the other shore of the living and the present world of the dead.Just as Hua Shuo thought, even if he is a demon king, he can't reach the reality of the dead. Now, if they want to find the fixed soul orb, they have to follow the ghosts of the dead to Styx.

Xiao Zixi still looked unhurried, seeing that Li Mu didn't want to explain to Hua Shuo, he said: "Miss Lu is dead! She was killed by the female monster who killed your master, and now she is lying on the bed because of me. It's just a living corpse!"

"What?" Hua Shuo's face changed, and then he turned his head to look at Lu Jiaqi on the bed, "How is it possible? Miss Lu was fine just now..."

"Hey? I really don't know how you lived so long!" Xiao Zixi interrupted him impatiently, "The girl Lu you brought back yesterday is a fake at all, don't you feel it at all?"

"Fake...fake?" Hua Shuo took a step back in disbelief. Why?Why didn't he find out earlier, maybe he could save Miss Lu, maybe he could avenge Master.

Xiao Zixi couldn't help laughing at Hua Shuo's remorse. In some points of view, he was very similar to Chen Huang, but he felt that human beings were inexplicably stupid.Just like those disciples of Fushan, when they first came to Fushan, they thought that they should be kind and amiable, but they didn't know that not all immortals could look down on human beings.

Even his first disciple Li Mu, Xiao Zixi felt that he couldn't catch him.Everything in the world is like this. Different talents lead to different good and bad. This is inherently determined. What qualifications do you have to expect everyone to be equal?

If one day human beings are superior to immortals, it is also the same idea. There is no need for him to become an immortal in the eyes of mortals.

Li Mu on the side glanced at Lu Jiaqi on the bed, and then looked at Xiao Zixi: "Since you said you want to help, can you find the location of Styx?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zixi couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Haha, what are you kidding, even if I am a fairy, I am still a living person after all. How could I find Minghe?"

"Then what should we do to save Miss Lu?" Hua Shuo spoke first, and Li Mu also looked at Xiao Zixi in silence.

Xiao Zixi looked around the two of them, then curled his thin lips and said: "It's very simple, one of us dies, it happens that Miss Lu belongs to the dead river among the four great rivers of birth, old age, sickness and death, and any one of us can commit suicide. Find Styx, and then the matter will be settled, haha~"

Saying that, Xiao Zixi cast his eyes on Li Mu: "Demon King, why don't you go! You go and die, for the woman you love, just like human beings, live for the one you love and die for the one you love, This will make another good story, won’t it? Just like the last demon king. And I think everyone in the world will be very happy when you die, what do you think?”

After Xiao Zixi asked this question, Li Mu didn't answer immediately, but just looked at him coldly.

And Hua Shuo looked at the man who was smiling so wildly in front of him, but he couldn't believe it on his face. The other party was obviously a god who cared about the world, why would he say such cruel and mean words?Even if the opponent is a mortal enemy, there is no need to speak so viciously!
Looking at the two who were silent, Xiao Zixi stood up, waved his hands and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, don't you two be so serious? This way the atmosphere will become very dull, which is not conducive to our peaceful coexistence."

Li Muhuashuo: "Hehe..." This joke is really cold!
"Although we don't know the location of the river of death, we can follow the dead to find it!" Xiao Zixi said, his eyes fell on Hua Shuo, "But if we want to find the river of death, it means that we have to die for someone. , boy, can you do it? Do you want to watch others die or watch Lu Jiaqi die?" After speaking, Xiao Zixi blinked his eyes.

Li Mu, who was sitting on the side, stood up abruptly: "From what you say, the dead can be found, and then Hua Shuo doesn't have to go."

"Oh?" Xiao Zixi held his chin and looked at Hua Shuo, "Are you really not going?"

"I..." Hua Shuo opened his mouth, "I'm going!"

Li Mu frowned when he heard the words: "No, I know what kind of temper you are. If you go, you will only cause us trouble."

"But this is my decision," Hua Shuo turned to look at Li Mu and retorted, "You have no right to stop me."

"I really don't want to bother you when you're confronting each other with swords drawn." Xiao Zixi interrupted the two of them, "But I still think it's better for everyone to go together!"

"Together?" Li Mu asked back.

Xiao Zixi nodded: "That's right, it's all together. The so-called fixed soul beads are actually the undead who fell into the Styx River because of their confusion. These undead fell into the Styx River and turned into stones at the bottom of the river. That is the soul-fixing orb. They live by absorbing the beliefs of the dead who crossed the river, which means they can destroy the beliefs of others. If the location of Styx is too far from here, I am afraid that your beliefs will be destroyed before you come back. The soul-fixing pearl has been sucked out."

After listening to Xiao Zixi's explanation, Li Mu nodded and told Hua Shuo not to act emotionally.Then came Xiao Zixi's task, to find the dead through divination.

I saw Xiao Zixi counting his fingers for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Li Mu and the two: "There is a woman thirty miles outside the city who will commit suicide by throwing herself into the river at Mao tomorrow! We can find the river of death by following her."

After Xiao Zixi finished speaking, he pinched his fingers and counted for a long time. Li Mu thought that he was inaccurate, so he couldn't help but mockingly said, "Didn't your mana recede after a year of death?"

"How childish!" Xiao Zixi chuckled lightly, but his expression was not very good.Just now, he actually calculated a bad omen through divination, and it was in the near future. Could it be that he made a mistake when looking for the Soul-fixing Orb?

Xiao Zixi did the calculation again unwillingly, but he still looked fierce, Xiao Zixi couldn't help but cast his eyes on Hua Shuo.Why!Is it a blessing or a curse, or is it a disaster that cannot be avoided?What kind of result will be in the end, I am afraid it all depends on one's own good luck.

At night, Li Mu took care of Lu Jiaqi in the room, while Hua Shuo followed Xiao Zixi to the roof.

Although the weather at the end of winter was a bit cold, but helplessly, the two had already left the range of mortals.

Thinking of Xiao Zixi's words during the day, Hua Shuo couldn't help blurting out: "Young Master Xiao, I always feel that you are not quite what you are rumored to be."

"Which one is in the rumors?" Xiao Zixi looked at the bright starry sky and raised his lips, "Besides, it's just rumors."

"Impossible," Hua Shuo retorted, "You are obviously a kind and compassionate immortal, but seeing you today makes me feel that meeting is not as good as being famous."
