Chapter 295: The Faceless Man by the River
"Kirin?"
Li Yuan thought for a moment.
"In mythology, this mythical beast that represents auspiciousness and good fortune was also destroyed by you?"
Tian Yao Hongwen was furious and immediately retorted:
"What words, what words!"
"I killed the real dragon, I admit it!"
"But it wasn't me who wiped out the Qilin clan!"
"The great calamity was raging. In order to protect the peace of the three realms, those fools threw their entire clan into the abyss of calamity, and ended up perishing!"
"Come to think of it, the Qilin clan is on good terms with me!"
Li Yuan touched his chin:
"It's because I was on good terms with you that I ended up like this."
Tian Yao's breath trembled: "Not my brother!"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, I won't say anything more."
Judging from the situation, the matter of Qilin is probably a sore spot in Tianyao's heart.
If we continue talking like this, I guess its defense will break again.
The beast-like soul is probably a mixed-blood descendant of the Qilin clan.
He is unwilling to forget the past and wants to throw himself into the River of Oblivion to achieve certain conditions and save the situation.
But eventually he got lost in the Forgotten River and all his memories were wiped out.
And the mad giant beast spirit in Ghost Town No. 6 said "save it".
It is very likely that it is also about Qilin.
I really don’t know what the scene was like back then, and what a profound event it was.
Even after a race has become extinct millions of years ago, there are still living beings who care about it.
Even after these creatures died, I still wanted to rescue them.
"How to say?"
After the demon pondered for a long time, Li Yuan asked softly.
Tian Yao's voice was a little dull:
"Even if we know that the Qilin bloodline exists, we have no direction and cannot save it."
"Besides, it might involve...Alas!"
The celestial demon sighed.
"It's a pity that you are not strong enough, and I am suppressed by the Sea Eye."
"Otherwise, even if I cause chaos in the three realms again, I will find the Qilin bloodline!"
Back then, when the Qilin clan was destroyed, its flawless clone was still fighting against the 'robbery' of that catastrophe.
The battle lasted for several years, and by the time he returned from the battle seriously injured, the dust had already settled.
Afterwards, the war to destroy Buddhism followed, and it also participated in it, unable to escape. In the end, it was trapped step by step and became a discarded pawn.
The matter of Qilin became one of the regrets in Tian Yao's heart.
Seeing that Tian Yao was anxious, Li Yuan comforted him softly:
"Beside the Forgotten River, I heard there is a faceless weirdo who specializes in salvaging lost souls in the river."
"Perhaps, there are some clues?"
Tian Yao sighed: "I can only give it a try."
This faceless monster has been rising and dominating the world since it came into this world.
It has never been heard of in the millions of years that have passed.
I think it is a being that was born within one million years.
After resting for a while in the mansion, Li Yuan discovered that the little ghost servants were a little anxious.
He wanted to leave the side house and find out something, but he was afraid of angering Li Yuan, so he was in a dilemma.
Be it Gui Si or Li Yuan, they are beings they cannot afford to offend.
Li Yuan was too lazy to care about them. He left some aura behind to confuse these little ghosts, then left using the invisibility technique.
The Fengdu Ghost Officer is very perceptive. He must have noticed something and wants to find out the news as soon as possible.
However, Li Yuan didn't want to be monitored and restrained by this ghost.
Using the invisibility technique, Li Yuan quickly left Fengdu City.
There are nine places of reincarnation in the underworld.
But there is only one Wangchuan River, which runs through the entire underworld.
Rumor has it that the faceless monster appears near the No. 9 Yellow Springs Road and on the lower reaches of the Forgotten River.
The matter of Qilin is a regret for Tian Yao, and Li Yuan also wants to help.
At least, we need to get some clues to facilitate future actions.
Moreover, the existence of this faceless monster is also very special for the underworld.
If Li Yuan wants to "report" to the Emperor of the Underworld, he must understand the various special things and existences in the underworld before he can rebuild it.
Soon after.
Li Yuan successfully arrived at Ghost Town No. 9.
He did not go into the city, but went directly to the No. 9 Yellow Spring Road.
Another familiar journey.
The ghost officials along the way did not dare to stop Li Yuan and quickly let him go.
There was a monitoring ghost who had a high level of cultivation and was able to see through Li Yuan's figure.
He was stopped immediately.
However, after Li Yuan quietly showed the order from the King of Hell, the supervisory ghost respectfully let him go.
Li Yuan also told it not to spread the news.
Seeing the order of Hades is like seeing the Emperor of Hell.
The monitoring ghost was told to keep his mouth shut, so he naturally agreed in fear and did not dare to ask more questions.
Passing through the pond of rebirth.
Walk in front of Sanshengshi.
Li Yuan was stopped by Master Ming again.
"The team of living souls is long, why are you so anxious?"
"Be careful with your aura, don't shatter those fragile souls!"
Old Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Yuan through the air.
Obviously, this big guy, like Meng Po, transformed into nine incarnations and guarded the Three Lives Stones in various places.
Li Yuan landed, bowed respectfully, and told the truth.
It is said that this old man is of the same generation as the Underworld Emperor and is a man of great merit, so he must not lose his manners.
"Are you looking for the faceless man?"
A strange look flashed across Old Ming's withered face.
"Do you know the rules of the faceless man?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then clasped his hands together:
"Little gods don't know."
"Please give me some advice, Master Ming."
Old Ming was wearing a black robe and looking at the souls passing by the Three Lives Stone in an endless stream.
There was a hint of contemplation in the eyes that flickered with green flames.
"That faceless weirdo is a creature that has appeared in the last few hundred thousand years."
"Neither life nor death, neither human nor ghost."
"Don't enter the three paths, don't touch the five elements."
"Even I don't know where it came from."
"I only heard Lord Hades say: Let it go."
"I just ignored it."
Elder Ming said slowly.
"This faceless man has a rule."
"Anyone who looks for it will inevitably interfere with its ability to salvage souls from the river."
"Since it interferes, you must offer your soul to it; otherwise, it will seize the other party's soul."
"All immortals, gods, ghosts and monsters are treated equally."
"If you rush in headfirst, without any guarantee, you will be in an awkward situation, unable to fight back and unable to escape."
Old Ming sighed, his voice was very hoarse, but it contained a reminder.
Li Yuan listened quietly and felt that the faceless man by the river was somewhat similar to the evil ghost in the three coffins.
It is also a unique existence that transcends the three paths and five elements.
However, this faceless monster should be harmless to the three realms.
It may even be beneficial to the underworld.
Otherwise, the Hades would not allow it to exist.
"If we use our souls to fight back, we will hurt the innocent and commit sins."
"Master Ming, do you know if there is a substitute for the rules of the faceless monster?"
Li Yuan bowed respectfully and asked Master Ming for advice.
If it were someone else, Li Yuan would have taken out a bunch of spiritual objects and started playing the game of social etiquette.
But he had been warned not to play this trick in front of Master Ming.
Old Ming was wearing a black robe and his posture was a little hunched.
He laughed and stared at Li Yuan with his green eyes.
"I have observed it for hundreds of thousands of years and have guessed that it wants to fish out more than just souls..."
"If you are willing to take down the sword behind you and lend it to me... maybe you won't have to use your soul to fight against it."
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows.
"Ming Lao, my sword..."
Ming Lao chuckled and waved his hand:
"I know, the Fushang Ancient Sword..."
"Don't worry, it has strict rules and won't take yours away."
"However, it may have to borrow the evil spirit of the evil sword to find another lost sword at the bottom of the Forgotten River..."
Li Yuan seemed to understand something.
