Chapter Eighty-Nine: Awakening

In the underworld, in the upper reaches of the Lechuan River, the king of Jizo sits quietly on a lotus seat, and in front of him is a flat boat, floating above the water. In the boat, Luo Xiaoyan lay quietly with her eyes closed. Although his face was still a little pale, he had finally regained his breathing.

Although it is in the upper reaches of the Lechuan River, it is quiet all around, and there is not even the sound of the river. In the silence, King Jizo closed his eyes tightly, and from time to time he would open his eyes to see Luo Xiaoyan's situation, and after seeing that the person had not woken up, he would close his eyes again.

As time passed, Luo Xiaoyan, who was lying on the boat, finally moved, her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. On the side, King Jizo seemed to have sensed something, and immediately opened his eyes, looked at Luo Xiaoyan, who had already woken up, and showed a relieved smile.

When she woke up, Luo Xiaoyan's eyes hadn't even focused, and her eyes looked very confused. The King of Jizo on the side was not in a hurry, quietly waiting for Luo Xiaoyan to come to his senses.

After a while, Luo Xiaoyan with a focal length appeared in her eyes. Before she came to her senses, Luo Xiaoyan's eyes were rolling, looking around. Looking at the dark and completely unfamiliar environment around her, Luo Xiaoyan's eyes showed a trace of doubt.

"This is the upper reaches of the Lethe River." Seeing Luo Xiaoyan's expression, King Jizo couldn't help but feel a little funny, and whispered to Luo Xiaoyan what place this was.

The sudden sound, coupled with the Lethe River as mentioned by the King of Jizo, instantly reminded Luo Xiaoyan of the scene where the soul was devoured, and under the double fright, Luo Xiaoyan immediately struggled to come, but almost overturned the boat.

The King of Jizo had already stood up at some point, and reached out to help Luo Xiaoyan hold the boat, which was in danger of capsizing at any time.

"Jizo King?" Seeing the King of Jizo who appeared in front of her, Luo Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Why am I here?" ”

"Do you remember what happened before you showed up here?" King Jizo's voice is exactly the same as Gu Qi's, and his gentle and gentle voice can easily make people let go of their guards.

Luo Xiaoyan thought about it, nodded, and told everything that happened before, without the slightest concealment. After listening to Luo Xiaoyan say these things, the King of Jizo spoke up and briefly explained the process of why Luo Xiaoyan appeared.

"Since you're awake, I'll send you back." After King Jizo finished speaking, he didn't give Luo Xiaoyan time to react at all, so he immediately issued an expulsion order.

Although there is the King of Jizo here, Luo Xiaoyan knows that the evil ghosts in the Lechuan River will not appear, so naturally they will not sit on anything. But staying here, the atmosphere around her was too oppressive, and she also wanted to leave early. Hearing King Jizo say this, Luo Xiaoyan nodded almost immediately.

The lotus seat of the King of Jizo was in front, and Luo Xiaoyan was still in the boat, following the King of Jizo, heading towards the lower reaches of the Lechuan River. Along the way, the King of Jizo didn't say anything again, and Luo Xiaoyan was thinking about Gu Qi asking for help from the King of Jizo in order to find her. Gu Qi is just an ordinary person, and the most special place is the identity of the soul master, how can he know the King of Jizo and be able to enter and exit the underworld?

Luo Xiaoyan thought about these things, but she didn't notice that in front of her, the always gentle Jizo King had a fierce aura around her.

In silence, they reached the bank of the Lethe River, but the king of Jizo did not just send it here. With Luo Xiaoyan coming ashore, King Jizo also stepped on the shore with one foot, but the lotus seat under his feet suddenly shrank and turned into a lotus flower the size of a fingernail, attached to King Jizo's ears, like an ear stud.

"Actually, you don't need to send it, I'm familiar with this road." Luo Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw that the King of Jizo was going to send him off, and hurriedly refused.

This time she has helped the King of Jizo a lot, and on the Lechuan River, she can't appear on it for some reason, so she can only let the King of Jizo send it. Now that she is in a safe place, she herself knows how to return to the human world, and naturally she doesn't want to trouble King Jizo anymore.

"That's the passage for the soul to go back, but now you are also in the body." King Jizo explained, raised his feet and walked towards a passage that was completely unfamiliar to Luo Xiaoyan.

This passage, though dark, is brighter than the path of the soul, and at least it can see all around. It was a relatively narrow passage, with only two people at most, surrounded by damp stone walls, and it looked like everything was normal.

Luo Xiaoyan followed the Jizo King for a long time, and she never saw the end, after all, the light was not too bright, as long as it was a little farther away, it looked like it was dark. Looking forward, you can't see the end, looking back, you can't see the way you came, and walking on this road for a long time is really a psychologically devastating thing. If it weren't for the Jizo King leading the way in front of her, walking down like this, Luo Xiaoyan might have been unable to help but turn around, right?

"If a living person strays into the underworld, only after completing this path can he get out of the underworld and lead to the human world. If you can't bear the fear of the unknown and a firm heart, you can only be trapped in the underworld forever and can't go back to the world. King Jizo walked for a while, not knowing what he was thinking, but he actually talked to Luo Xiaoyan.

Although it is not very adaptable, it would be better to have someone to talk to in such an environment.

"Why, since you have strayed into the underworld, why don't you just let people go back, and why do you want to do such a troublesome thing?" Luo Xiaoyan didn't understand this.

"Some people have strayed into the underworld, while others have not. In any case, they have indirectly increased the work of the people of the underworld, shouldn't they be punished? ”

"But the punishment of being trapped in the underworld forever is too heavy." Luo Xiaoyan couldn't help muttering.

Ahead, King Jizo chuckled and didn't speak again. Behind, Luo Xiaoyan looked at the figure in front of her, although she felt a little inexplicable in her heart, she didn't say anything more.

After walking in silence for a while, King Jizo suddenly stopped in front of him. Luo Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, and then stopped, only to find that the surroundings seemed to have become darker, and the stone walls were a little difficult to see. Vaguely, Luo Xiaoyan suddenly felt that in front of King Jizo, what was no longer an endless passage, but more like a stone gate, or a stone wall in front of her. (To be continued.) )
