"Master, do you feel that this road is a little sloping?"

Lin Yuhao suddenly asked.

When he said this, Qian Xiaodao also reacted, and he stepped on two feet before and after: "Hey, really, it seems that this is a downhill road." ”

"However, the slope should not be too large, so let's just walk slowly."

"Hmm."

The three of them continued to walk, however, walking, walking, only to feel their bodies tilting more and more towards the horizon.

"Master, this ...... That's not right, it wasn't like this last time we went to the underworld. ”

"We took a shortcut. Originally, the underworld only accepted the souls of the dead after death, and even if the living wanted to go down, they had to go out of the body and go through the same procedure as the ghosts. Qian Xiaodao paused, and then said, "And we are different now, we have entered the underworld in the flesh, and this intersection between the yang world and the underworld must not be explained by common sense. Let's walk slowly, and it should be okay to be careful. ”

After another walk, the three eventually stopped as the road got steeper and steeper.

Of course, it had to be stopped!

Because, at this time, Qian Xiaodao and the three of them were already squatting on the ground, and Lin Yuhao walked relatively forward, because he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, he could only hold a telephone pole.

Lin Yuhao's position was steeper than Qian Xiaodao, he was almost stuck to the telephone pole, turned back to Qian Xiaodao, who didn't know how much distance behind him, and said, "Master, don't come down, it's too steep here, I feel that it has completely exceeded seventy degrees, how can you leave!" ”

Qian Xiaodao also frowned: "Strange, how is it different from what Zhao Chao said." ”

"Master, you say, did he deliberately fool us?"

Qian Xiaodao shook his head: "This probability is not high, he has no need to do this at all." ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

After pondering for a moment, Qian Xiaodao spoke: "I remember seeing such a message in the dean's office when I was a child, the book said that the Three Realms are closely connected, and the reason why ordinary people can't go there is because they can't learn the essentials, can't find the way, and don't have enough courage. ”

"Master, can you put it more simply and directly? I don't read much and don't understand. ”

Qian Xiaodao rolled his eyes: "We came to Xudu, the road is right, Xudu is the only place where the yang world and the underworld are connected, and what is needed next is enough courage." ”

"Guts?"

"Hmm."

In the black fog, the three of them couldn't see each other's expressions, but both Cherry and Lin Yuhao could hear Qian Xiaodao's determination.

"Don't move, I'll try."

As he spoke, Qian Xiaodao let go of Cherry's hand.

"Childe!"

As soon as she let go, Cherry exclaimed in surprise and grabbed Qian Xiaodao's hand violently.

"What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine."

The cherry that reacted slowly let go of her hand.

"Cherry, what's wrong with you?"

Since he got up in the morning, Qian Xiaodao found that the cherries looked a little strange, but he couldn't say why the specific strangeness was.

"It's okay, childe, you have to be careful."

"Hmm."

Although he felt strange about Cherry's behavior, Qian Xiaodao didn't think much about it, and immediately stood up, opened his legs, and ran a hundred meters on the sloping street!

When he started running, Qian Xiaodao obviously felt that the slope of the ground was getting higher and higher, and he didn't need to exert himself at all in the back, he just needed to open his legs.

Because he couldn't see it, Qian Xiaodao simply closed his eyes, shook his head, and ran wildly.

People shake their heads in the middle of running wildly, which will make them lose their sense of direction, so that there is no obstacle to running, and running, running, Qian Xiaodao slowly stopped, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was also standing on an empty street.

Unlike the street where they came, although the houses look just as old, there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the street, instead of street lamps.

At this time, Qian Xiaodao heard a slightly rapid breathing sound behind him, and after a while, a delicate body that he was familiar with ran out of the darkness, and Qian Xiaodao stepped forward and was just about to say a few words of praise: "Cherry ......"

However, the cherry suddenly threw herself into Qian Xiaodao's arms and cried immediately.

"Sakura, cherry...... What happened to you? ”

In Qian Xiaodao's cognition, Cherry has always been a self-reliant girl, and he has never seen Cherry show the slightest weakness.

But she is still a girl after all, and she also has her own weak side, which will only show up when facing real problems.

And obviously, at the moment, Cherry seems to have encountered a threshold that she can't cross on her own.

"Childe, Childe......"

Cherry just hugged Qian Xiaodao, and tears quickly wet his chest.

"Cherry ......"

After Qian Xiaodao was slightly sluggish, he reached out and hugged the cherry tightly, gently rubbing her back.

Whether it was last night, this morning, or just now, Cherry's performance seemed a little abnormal, if she had been in a depressed state, Qian Xiaodao would still feel worried, but now that she can cry, then this is a kind of emotional catharsis, which is a good thing.

When Cherry's cry became weaker, Qian Xiaodao lowered his head, kissed her smooth pink forehead gently, and said softly: "You can tell me now, what happened?" ”

"I ...... I'm not human. ”

"Huh!?"

Qian Xiaodao looked at the cherry with a surprised face: "This, what do you mean by this?" ”

"I ...... I'm not human. Cherry repeats what she had just said.

Scratching his head vigorously, Qian Xiaodao quickly sorted out his somewhat confused thinking, and immediately asked, "You mean to say that you are not human, but it may be a demon or a ghost or something, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Whew-" Seeing Cherry nodding, Qian Xiaodao finally let out a long breath.

"I thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be this, so what does it matter?"

Seeing Qian Xiaodao's indifferent expression, Cherry immediately asked, "Childe, don't you hate slaves?" ”

"Disgust? For the hair? Qian Xiaodao asked rhetorically.

"Because, because the slave and the maid are not people, and the son is not ......."

"Not a species?" Qian Xiaodao smiled, he knew that at this time, a thousand words were not as practical as a simple action.

With that, he lowered his head and kissed Cherry's soft, slightly cold red lips.

Her delicate body trembled slightly in Qian Xiaodao's arms, obviously unable to adapt to Qian Xiaodao's simple, but very difficult to implement.

For this sudden kiss, Cherry first widened her eyes and looked surprised, and then her eyes gradually softened, and she slowly closed her eyes, enjoying the tenderness of this moment, and a line of tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes......
