Chapter 863: Dog Licking Gate
Zhang Tuohai didn't know how Mo Zi passed Wuliang Mountain in the original plot, but just looking at the troops led by Thousand Illusions Demon King, Red Lotus Supervisor, and Famine Demigod, it wouldn't necessarily be easy. Even if these main forces didn't come out together, it would definitely be extremely difficult.
However, I don’t know if it was because Zhang Tuohai’s previous melee defeated the three parties’ manpower, but on the rest of the way, Zhang Tuohai and his party did not encounter any obstacles and safely broke through Wuliang Mountain.
After passing Wuliang Mountain, a big river suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Looking at the river from a distance, it looks like a galaxy hanging upside down between heaven and earth; looking from close up, it is vast and boundless, with turbulent waves on the surface and waves crashing against the shore, and undercurrents surging and turbulent underwater.
The pitch-black clouds in the sky pressed down on the river surface, like a huge upside-down black pot, making it hard to breathe.
On the shore not far away, there stands a stone tablet with these three big characters written on it - Forgotten River.
"This is the Lethe River."
Zhang Tuohai frowned as he looked at the surging river. He remembered that when he was in Bie Li Yuan, Hanaojuan once said that to go to the underworld, one must cross the Forgotten River.
However, the water level of the Wangchuan River is too high, and the other side cannot be seen at a glance. Moreover, the rapids are turbulent. If one rushes to cross the river rashly, the boat will be destroyed and everyone will die.
Moreover, the water surface area is so large, who knows what is in the river.
Zhang Tuohai was sure that there was more than a 90% chance that there were some powerful monsters living in this river, acting as obstacles .
Based on Mo Zi's strength, she certainly doesn't have the capital to fight head-on, so if she wants to cross the river, she must have some way to seek help from external forces.
Zhang Tuohai looked around. Not far away on the river bank, there was a vermilion temple standing quietly by the river. It looked very abrupt against the dark background.
"There must be something wrong with building a temple in a place like this. It might be the key to crossing the River Forgotten."
Zhang Tuohai said, pointing to the temple in the distance.
"Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Lilith and Mozi looked at each other and neither of them objected.
During this period, Zhang Tuohai also looked carefully at Mo Zi's reaction, and confirmed that the other party did not show any hesitation or opposition, only then was he convinced that his judgment was correct.
When they arrived at the temple gate, Zhang Tuohai looked at the temple carefully. The outer wall of the temple was made of a kind of vermilion rock. It was not a pigment, but the color of the rock itself. The color was very rich, as if blood was about to overflow.
The gate was also vermilion, but it was carved with two huge animal heads. The animal heads were extremely large and almost filled the entire door panel.
Arriving at the gate, Zhang Tuohai was about to knock on it when suddenly the beast head on the left opened its mouth.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Tuohai immediately took five or six steps back as a reflex, while raising the black umbrella in his hand.
"Could it be that this beast head is similar to Famine's shield and both can bite people?"
Zhang Tuohai guessed secretly.
Who knew that the beast head didn't open its mouth to bite him, but spoke instead.
"Take your dirty hands away from me!"
The beast-head gate made a sound like muffled thunder, making Zhang Tuohai's ears buzz.
Zhang Tuohai: “???”
Hearing what the beast-head gate said, he couldn't help but be stunned.
If the beast head wanted to eat him in one bite, he would not be surprised at all. However, the beast head gate was actually shouting at him not to hit it. What was going on?
Zhang Tuohai held a black umbrella in his hand and looked at the beast-head gate warily. Lilith also put her hands in the pockets of her white coat. Judging from the shape of the pockets, it seemed that she was holding something in her hands. Mozi was frightened and two tears appeared in her eyes, and her eyes were slightly red.
"Ah, don't cry, don't cry, I'm not talking about you, are you scared? Are you wronged? To express my apology, you can touch my body at will."
When the big door on the left saw Mo Zi's look, its expression immediately changed and it became very attentive, just like a dog bootlicker.
Looking at the beast-head gate which looked completely different from before, Zhang Tuohai looked back at Mo Zi, then looked at the beast-head gate again, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, the door with animal heads on the right suddenly spoke, and it angrily shouted at the door with animal heads on the left: "You shameless thing, you scared others like that, and you actually want a little girl to touch you? You are so shameless! Your stinky door panel has not been maintained for hundreds of years, and it is only washed when it rains. I don't know how much dust is on it. You actually want a little girl to touch you with her delicate hands? How can you be so shameless?"
Hearing what the beast-head gate on the right said, the beast-head gate on the left immediately became dissatisfied.
"Who said I'm dirty?" As he said that, the beast-headed gate on the left suddenly opened its mouth and stretched out a long tongue. The tongue licked his entire face, and rubbed some corners repeatedly several times.
You know what, after it licked it like that, the door became much cleaner, and some places even sparkled with metallic luster.
However, psychologically, Zhang Tuohai found it difficult to accept.
Now, if someone wants him to touch this door, he will resist it from the bottom of his heart. If he really has to touch it, he will choose to kick out the person who proposed it and let him touch it by himself.
Seeing the appearance of the beast-head gate on the left, the beast-head gate on the right was not to be outdone and showed a look of contempt.
"Humph, you rubbish. You are acting like this just to get the girl to touch you? You are so despicable. A true gentleman would have opened the door and let the girl in. A well-mannered gentleman would never forget his job, like me."
The animal-headed gate on the right said this, and slowly opened the gate, revealing a gesture of invitation.
Looking at the open gate, the animal-head gate on the left became anxious. If Mozi was allowed to pass through that side, wouldn't all its efforts just now be in vain?
The beast-head gate on the left gritted its teeth and stomped its feet, directly removing itself from the door axis and smashing it to the ground.
"Come on, come on, walk this way. The ground is dusty. Step on me so your shoes won't get dirty."
Looking at the two doors, Zhang Tuohai didn't know what to say.
However, you still have to enter the gate, it’s just a matter of which way to go.
Helplessly, he turned around and looked at Mo Zi: "Which way are you going to go?"
"this……"
Seeing this scene, Mo Zi couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Before this, she was just a little girl living in the countryside. She had never seen such a scene before and didn't know what .
