Chapter 865: The Sad Broom God
Zhang Tuohai looked at the red-faced Broom God and didn't know what to say. It was okay if the jokes from the original world turned out to be true.
Two shovels are used to dig a tunnel across a river. This amount of earthwork may not even be dug out even if the shovels are smoothed, right?
However, considering that this is a fantasy world, where brooms can become gods and shovels can dig tunnels, it doesn’t seem so outrageous.
Don't ask, just ask about the world setting.
Of course, the main problem now is not how to dig the tunnel, but which tunnel to choose.
When faced with a multiple-choice question, Zhang Tuohai immediately pushed out the humanoid compass Mozi.
"Come on, let's make a choice. Which tunnel do you like better?"
Zhang Tuohai pushed Mozi out and asked.
"this……"
Mozi bit a lollipop, looked towards the two tunnels for a while, and finally pointed his finger to the left.
"This tunnel, I think this one will save a lot of trouble."
"Then go this way."
Zhang Tuohai followed the good advice and walked towards the passage on the left with Mozi.
"You will follow too." Lilith grabbed the broom god, put it on her shoulders, and followed.
"Hey, hey, slow down, my 3,800-year-old body can't help but be tortured like this."
The Broom God shouted loudly from behind.
Lilith didn't care about it and carried it into the passage.
Although the Broom God has never shown any hostility until now, who knows which side this guy is really on?
Especially in terrains like tunnels, if the other party has a bad intention, he may be trapped inside and die.
Therefore, we can only take it with us first and wait until we pass through the tunnel.
The footsteps of everyone echoed in the cross-river tunnel. As Zhang Tuohai walked forward, he illuminated the surrounding walls with a strong flashlight and observed the marks on the walls.
After observing for a while, Zhang Tuohai estimated that what the Broom God said must be true. This tunnel must have been dug by someone with a shovel. The most intuitive evidence is that there are still traces of shovels on the wall.
The traces underneath are like fish scales, densely packed, layer upon layer, one layer upon another, very neat.
"It would be a shame not to dig holes for thieves if you have this skill."
Zhang Tuohai looked at the marks on the wall and thought to himself.
Lilith on the side felt that it was too strenuous to carry it, so she grabbed the broom god and dragged it away.
"Can you let me go? My yard hasn't been cleaned yet! Oh, my old arms and legs, please be gentler! Oh, why is this hole covered in dust? It hasn't been cleaned for how many years? Ahem!
cough--"
Zhang Tuohai estimated that this tunnel had not been used since it was excavated, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the ground. No, just dragging the broom away stirred up a light layer of smoke.
"Is your tunnel reliable? Why is there so much dust? I don't know if it should be cleaned."
Zhang Tuohai waved his hand, trying to drive away the dust in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly to the broom god.
"Oh, anyway, this road is for people like you who are trying to cross the Wangchuan River. Anyone who crosses the river never comes back. Since there is no feedback, why is it so clean? It can be used.
That’s it.”
The Broom God said with an indifferent expression.
"You mean, anyone who crosses the Wangchuan River never comes back? What does this mean?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"There is no need to ask, what is the place across the Wangchuan River? It is the boundless underworld. What is the underworld? It is the residence of the dead. What will happen to the living people who go to the residence of the dead? Under the erosion of the boundless Yin Qi
, no matter how strong a person is, he will eventually be corroded and become the dead. From then on, he can only move around in the underworld. How can there be any reason to come back?"
"Even if they are powerful and only stay in the underworld for a short time, what is their purpose? It is not to go to the underworld. What is the underworld? It is in charge of reincarnation in the six realms, judging merits and demerits, and is in charge of the existence of the dead. Living people are prohibited from entering.
"
"There is only one outcome for breaking in, and that is death. Therefore, no matter what the purpose is to go to the other side of the Wangchuan River, no one will come back along this road, so there will be no repeat customers. Since there are no repeat customers, then what's the point?
What are you cleaning for?"
The Broom God said matter-of-factly.
"Gan."
Hearing what the Broom God said, Zhang Tuohai looked helpless.
Now, it's too late to let it clean.
"I wish I had brought a gas mask with me."
Zhang Tuohai waved his sleeves, trying to disperse the rising smoke. The smoke was getting thicker and thicker, almost blocking the range of the bright flashlight.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he fell into a smooth hole, sliding down rapidly.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai quickly took out the black umbrella from behind and placed it on the cave wall next to him, trying to slow down and stop.
However, the cave wall was extremely smooth, and there was no place to apply force at all. Zhang Tuohai rowed for a long time, but could not find a suitable point to apply force. However, he turned around several times because of this, and turned into a posture.
Just when Zhang Tuohai was struggling to change his position, he suddenly heard a roar of cheers from behind, accompanied by bursts of screams.
"Yahhoo——"
"Ah - it hurts - my 3,600-year-old body and bones can't help but torment -"
Zhang Tuohai turned the flashlight to the rear.
I saw not far behind me, Lilith was stepping on the Broom God, constantly adjusting her balance, as if she were surfing.
Mozi grabbed Lilith's clothes tightly and carefully followed Lilith to adjust her posture.
The broom god was trampled under his feet and used as a skateboard, and burst into screams.
"Grass!"
Seeing Lilith and her party rushing towards them, Zhang Tuohai's soul suddenly appeared.
If Lilith bumped into her, she would be in a mess.
He didn't know where the strength came from, and he stood up from the smooth cave wall.
Then Lilith arrived.
Bang!
The group of people bumped into each other, then rolled into a ball, all the way down the smooth cave wall, and continued to roll down.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Tuohai suddenly felt that the space around him had become unusually spacious, and he suddenly got rid of his restraints and rushed high into the sky.
Then, the whole person fell heavily.
Plop!
Zhang Tuohai crashed into a huge pond.
Wow——
The water splashed, and Zhang Tuohai emerged from the water.
He wiped the water from his face and looked around.
Soon, he determined that this was an exquisite hot spring pool for bathing.
Chapter completed!
