Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 209: A Different Path

"If you don't want to be kicked down, prove it to us."

This is not a powerful threat to the Lord of the Hundred Bones. His usual calm and relaxed spirit is still the degree that Mu Wan hates. But he seemed to have disdained to deal with her, and he did take the lead in turning over, and it was definitely not out of anyone's disguised instigation. Miss Qi immediately jumped down without the slightest hesitation.

Counting the kapok, the four people gathered around the well and looked down. There was no splash or sound from there, as if Wuren had been swallowed up by the bottomless darkness.

"Do you really want to go down?" Kapok looked up at them, "Then you ...... When will you be back? ”

"I don't know. But I think we'll be back. ”

Mu Wan patted her head, and Shanhai and Dai Luan also said goodbye to her briefly. That being said, no one knows the bottom of their hearts. However, since Shi Wuqi went down without saying a word, and he didn't even say hello to Kapok, it is estimated that he will come up.

Dai Luan took Mu Wan's hand, and the two went down one after the other, and there was no sound either. Shanhai took one last look at the stunned kapok and jumped down. Kapok was at the mouth of the well, looking down, but he couldn't see or hear anything.

The process of falling is long, which is more distant than the mountains and seas imagined. He needed to adjust his posture so that he would not fall into the water at too high and be crippled by the resistance of the water. But the imaginary feeling of immersion still did not appear, and he continued to fall in this state, not even a sense of weightlessness, only the howling wind that struck upwards endlessly.

From light to darkness, and then light appeared. The vision cleared, but the light still came from aboveβ€”it began to shine like a full moon, small, round. But it's expanding, slowly becoming the size of tomorrow, and the color is warmer. The light grew stronger and stronger, and he got closer and closer.

That's also a wellhead.

When he came out of the well, Dai Luan pulled him. Everything around here is still very desolate, just like where they came. The difference is that this time there is not even a single tree, not a single broken house.

The sky was dark yellow, warm, but inexplicably sad. Compared to before, this should be a dusk view. Here, the concept of time has begun to become sticky. Shi Wuqi walked ahead, and they followed, until a figure appeared in front of them. When they walked in to look at it, they found that it was neither Ruyue Jun nor Shenwujun.

That's Liangyue-kun.

"Why are you here?"

Shanhai was confused, even stunned. He felt that things were much more serious than he had imagined. The more the six realms of impermanence appear in the same place, the more likely it is that something happening here is likely to get out of control. Liang Yuejun was still half-tied with her hair, and Ziwei was engraved on the silver-blue crown of her hair. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the hibiscus embroidered on his shirt is closer. Probably they can't remember.

Several people saluted him, and he also bent down and bowed a sour bow that was obviously scholarly.

"This place is the spiritual vein of the junction, why can't I be here?"

"Are you passing through?"

"Of course."

Shan Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said:

"We ...... the Devil's Will"

"Not necessarily." Liang Yuejun waved his hand, "I didn't expect anything from you, and all the people who said they were looking for it haven't heard a little bit of news so far." It's okay, I'll look for it slowly. ”

The mountains and seas didn't say much. Shi Wuqi looked at him with his shoulders and asked:

"What about the others?"

"Who?" Liang Yuejun felt strange, "If you talk about other impermanence, there are indeed people in the Burial Head River. ”

Mu Wan asked, "Where can we find them?" ”

Liang Yuejun looked at her, her eyes were different from when she looked at others. A few months is only a blink of an eye for the Impermanence Ghost, but the change in her state of mind is probably visible to the naked eye. However, Liang Yuejun didn't say much, he only said:

"This place is very dangerous, I don't know if you have made a special trip to visit or entered by mistake, I advise you to go back quickly. The banks of the Burial Head River are not a good place, there is a special barrier that has not been ...... in the past It was set up about 100 years ago? I don't remember exactly. It's dangerous, there's a monster named Skeleton, don't go there easily. ”

"That place, but it's called the Swamp of the Dead?"

"You know?"

Liang Yuejun was slightly surprised. He looked at Shi Wuqi and looked up and down. After a while, he seemed to be self-convinced.

"Since it's the Lord of a Hundred Bones, it's not surprising."

"The barren skeleton of the Swamp of the Dead has been called the skeleton general again, not a simple monster...... It was the remains of a battlefield dead in battle. Later, he was contained by the Yama Demon and led a million Yin soldiers in the Swamp of the Dead. Those skeleton soldiers are stranded here because their killing thoughts, resentments, and obsessions are too heavy to be reincarnated. If there are outlaws who disturb the boundary between life and death, they will be crusaded against or brought under the command of the skeleton general. But...... It is said that within a few decades something happened, and they were sealed. ”

"You know that, but that's clear. Impermanence is always in and out of it, and no one dares to disturb it. ”

"That's it." Shi Wuqi sneered, "I almost killed him." It's a shame that God Wujun took me out. ”

"If you must go to the Swamp of the Dead, go there. There's a torii gate there, it's an enchantment, and I don't know if you'll be able to pass it. I haven't urged you to do anything yet, so don't take your life. ”

"And what's going on?" Mu Wan didn't know if it was intentional, "I think the world is still peaceful." There's no need for that kind of thing, I think, just throw it away. ”

Liang Yuejun looked at her with strange eyes, and seemed to have a lot of opinions. But given the origin of the Ten Thousand Ghosts - he did deserve it. It's a product of selfishness, so how can it not be said? He shook his head and was about to leave, but Shi Wuqi stopped him.

"Wait. I ask you one thing. ”

"What?"

"If anyone tells you......" Wuqi hesitated for a moment, "tell you who you are looking for." Are you still obsessed with retrieving the Spirit? ”

"Yes." Liang Yuejun said calmly, "I don't know if what that person said is true. ”

"If it's true?"

"Then I have to find out the truth myself."

Looking at the back of him leaving, Shi Wuqi sighed slightly. Mu Wan teased, when did he start worrying about other people's affairs like this? Shi Wuqi smiled, didn't bother to speak, but went in the direction of the Dead Man's Swamp.

It's an overly obvious barrier...... Visible to the naked eye. The faded vermilion torii stood abruptly over the wasteland, and even the color of the sky behind it was cloudy. Dai Luan walked around it twice, but she didn't see the difference in the scenery. But just between this torii gate, there is a mysterious formation hanging on it like a spider's web. Tiny particles like fireflies swirl around. The pure black symbol exudes a dark light that cannot describe the color.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This barrier makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”

"I know." Mountains and seas sticker to see, "This is a very old enchantment. The formation was laid out in an enchantment, and this was just a gate. Except for changes made on the inside, it can't be cracked on the outside. Do you come from here? ”

"I don't know." He said briskly, "Maybe I remember the scenery inside, but I haven't looked back to see if I passed through any door." God Wujun took me out, I don't know if it's this door. ”

"If the six realms of impermanence can walk, we ...... Alas, Liang Yuejun shouldn't have been allowed to go so fast, he should have been allowed to take us. ”

Dai Luan complained quietly, and Mu Wan couldn't deny it. Shanhai stared at the rune for a long time, pointed to a text and said:

"This is an exorcism, and youkai can't get in."

The others frowned, and even Miss Qi turned her face sideways, wondering if it was affected by Shi Wuqi. Dai Luan said:

"I feel a little ...... Doesn't make sense. That's how the runes in it are written? In this way, wouldn't General Skeleton and his men be trapped inside? ”

Mu Wan tried to reach out, but hovered in front of the barrier. She sighed and said, "Liang Yuejun said it mildly. But by that meaning, they were sealed by the barrier. I don't know what happened hundreds of years ago. ”

"Youkai can't get in?" Shi Wuqi glanced at Ah Qi, "She wants to be left behind?" ”

"That's how it should be."

"If you force your way in?"

Mu Wan rolled his eyes: "Why are you always like this?" You haven't changed at all. ”

"Really?"

The two of them almost had to reason on the spot again. Yamakai scanned the torii gate carefully and told them that no rune would cause serious damage to youkai. Either way, demons are not allowed to enter the Swamp of the Dead, and the meaning of this barrier is clear.

"Then let's try it."

Shi Wuqi said, raised his head slightly and motioned to Miss Qi with his chin to go over. She walked straight forward, as if she had hit an invisible door, and she couldn't get past it anyway. She was still striding on her feet, but it was just a pointless step.

Shanhai tried to stretch out his hand, but was pulled by Dai Luan. He reassured her and courageously reached forward. His hand literally passed through the torii. Dai Luan hurriedly looked over from the side of the torii, and instead of penetrating with her hand, she went to some invisible space.

Shan Hai retracted his hand.

"Ruyue-kun, they ...... Is it really in the Swamp of the Dead? ”

"How do you know if you don't look for it? I'll go first and have a look, so I'll let Qi stay here. ”

Shi Wuqi looked indifferent. He stretched out his hands and walked forward, and Miss Qi stepped out of the way. All of a sudden, he hit something and his head hurt. Shi Wuqi hurriedly covered his forehead and looked at the enchantment with some surprise. He felt that the place he hit was not very painful, but it was extremely hot, as if there was a curtain of boiling water in front of him, but there was no smoke.

Everyone was a little surprised. Shanhai stretched out his hand again, and his hand passed safely. Mu Wan and Dai Luan also tried to probe, as if they had probed through an ordinary water curtain. Only Shi Wuqi stretched out his hand, just like Miss Qi's case, being turned away by an invisible obstacle, but for no reason.

"What are you kidding...... he looked displeased, "how did Kanna-kun bring me out?" Because of Huangquan Bell? Or from somewhere else...... There must be more than one entrance, right? ”

"Strange ......," Dai Luan felt a headache, "Could it be because you are always with monsters, and the demonic energy on your body is too heavy?" ”

Shan Hai also agreed: "And if you have been stagnant in the Hell Dao for such a long time, your body will be more or less affected, hindering the judgment of this barrier. Let's go over and have a look. Are you and Miss Qi looking for another entrance nearby? I guess there's something to discover. ”

"Tsk. Wouldn't it be good for me to go back and talk to the little girl? Waste of time. It's not me who is looking for Ruyue-kun. ”

It may sound unpleasant, but they can understand it somewhat. Speaking with emotion, he could be heard expressing his displeasure with not being able to accompany him. Even after being separated for so long, they still have this self-confidence.

Just in case, Mu Wan still held up the umbrella and tried to exert some protection, which was better than nothing. Shanhai and Dailuan approached him, and several of them walked towards the torii together.

"Stay and don't run around."

At the moment of passing through the door, Mu Wan turned around and said with a smile as if telling a child. Shi Wuqi waved his hand impatiently and said:

"Don't get lost."

The three of them disappeared into the desolation, and the barrier swallowed them up. Staring at this strange pattern, Wu Qi suddenly gave birth to an illusion - as if his companion was caught in the web of a spider, and he was helpless.
