As soon as the boys got off the lift, the device went up slowly and automatically.

Qianqi took the lead and asked, "Are you the one-eyed old witch?"

The old man nodded, and spoke, his voice echoing through the cave like stones colliding with each other: "Is there anyone else here besides me?" Even the masters of the Yellow Springs Realm never come here. As the Yellow Spring, the spirit tablets stored here are the only proof that the souls who came here were once human beings. From the moment the name is written on the spirit tablet, it means that the owner of the name is no longer eligible to be reincarnated. They will never live or die in this yellow spring, suffering and suffering forever. You've just come in, and your ears haven't gotten used to it, and you'll hear the wails of these names in a moment! So, who else but me would want to stay in this place? ”

Xia Qiu listened to the one-eyed old witch's description of the Lingyun Palace, and felt shuddered, and became even more suspicious of his motive for staying here, so he asked, "What made you choose to stay here?" ”

"Because if it's work, someone has to do it! It's like you know the danger of coming here, but you still risk your death to come here! I've probably guessed why you're here, but you won't be here if there's no one to guide you. That man...... I mean Hyacinth, is he okay? The one-eyed old witch answered their questions lightly, and then asked them about Hyacinth.

Xia Qiu heard that he had an unusual relationship with Hyacinth, and replied to him: "In order to help us enter the Lingyun Palace, he still stayed outside the palace gate to fight with the spirit guards, so we have to get our own spirit card as soon as possible and go out to meet him." ”

"The Yellow Springs Country also has the rules of the Yellow Springs Country, look at that fire gate! All the spirit tablets will automatically appear from the door of fire the moment their owner's soul enters the Yellow Spring, it is the key that connects the soul and the body, and it is never allowed to be returned to the owner whose name once was. The One-Eyed Old Witch pointed to a door surrounded by dark blue flames, and continued, "The Demon King of Flame Luo knows that once I give you the spirit card, I will violate my duty as the manager here, so I will give you this unsolvable problem." ”

"We must complete the requirements of the Flame Luo Demon King in order to obtain the talisman that exists in the Huangquan Country, and use the seal to support the power of the four divine beasts in the Demon Realm's Divine Pillar, otherwise the entire Demon Realm will be destroyed in one fell swoop, Hyacinth said that you like to collect these colored crystals!"

Ouyang Xiaoleng said as he took out his piece of colored crystal from his pocket and handed it to the one-eyed old witch, he wanted to cut straight to the topic instead of going around the bend.

"He taught you to use this to buy me? This man is really impatient, and he can't help but want to take me with him! ”

The one-eyed old witch seemed to be complaining, but also more like worrying and regretting for Hyacinth, after a moment of hesitation, he still couldn't help but take the colored crystal from Ouyang Xiaoleng. In the amber-like golden stone, the white snow appeared more pure, and the one-eyed old witch held it in the palm of his hand and looked back and forth for a while as if he had found a treasure, and was deeply attracted by it. The stone was crystal beautiful, just like the young man in white in front of him, handsome and clear, but his cold and arrogant appearance revealed a fairy-like temperament.

He couldn't help but sigh: "What a strange stone!" ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng saw the situation and asked, "How is it?" This stone is for you, can you make an exception and help us find the spirit card that belongs to us? ”

"Let me think! A stone can only be exchanged for one spirit card, and I can return your spirit card to you. The one-eyed old witch's green pupils twitched in his eye sockets, on the one hand, he couldn't resist the temptation of Ouyang Xiaoleng's colored crystals; On the other hand, even if he was afraid of the Flame Luo Demon King, subconsciously he still couldn't rest assured of Hyacinth.

"I also have colored crystals for you." Xia Qiu said, took out his colored crystal and brought it to the one-eyed old witch.

The one-eyed old witch raised his eyes from the colored crystal stone from Ouyang Xiaoleng in his hand, and looked at the one in Xia Qiu, and he could see at a glance that the stones of the two young men were a pair. A red plum blossom was blooming in her snow-clear translucent white stone, the bright red, the unbridled blooming posture, the vitality of youth and life, just like the feeling of the human girl in front of him.

He took Xia Qiu's stone with his free hand and said, "Well, this piece of colored crystal of yours and the one I just got are exactly the same pair, and there is really no way to break them up!" Then, I can also make an exception to find out your spirit card for you. ”

Qianqi hurriedly handed over his own stone and said, "Here, this is mine!" ”

The pattern of this stone is even more peculiar, the lake-like stone is embedded with a red sun, which is full of brilliance and far-reaching artistic conception, which is a strange scene that the poet can hardly imagine. The young man in front of him should be the son of the dragon king, so he can't be too far from the water, but he himself yearns for the light and heat of the sun, just like his character, enthusiastic and open. But the sun in the water must not last long, as if water and fire are incompatible, either the light and heat of the sun dry the water, or the lake water extinguishes the heat of the sun, this stone makes the one-eyed old witch have a sense of foreboding.

He likes to collect these colored crystals for nothing else, just because he can perceive the character and fate of that person through the patterns on the colored crystals from different people, although he can't know them all, but he can feel the general trajectory of each person's life. Possessing them, he felt that even if he didn't go out of the dark place of Huangquan, he could understand many stories of the world, which were beautiful, sad, painful, or empty and confused, but they were all very different due to the different fates, which made people feel touched by it.

He is different from Yan Ming, he is a half-stone demon. He only remembered that he was in the forbidden forest from the moment he began to become conscious, and the stone from the other world was embedded in a tree for some reason, and after a long time of becoming one with the tree, he absorbed the vitality of the tree and gradually turned into a demon. He walked out of the forbidden forest full of hope, only to find that the world beyond the forest was actually the Yellow Springs Realm, where sinful souls were exiled. He was just going from one cage to another, and he was bent on escaping from the Yellow Springs Realm, but he was chased by the Black and White Demons, and they blinded one eye. The Demon King of Yama found that he had an extremely strong aura that could be predicted and perceived, so he sent him to guard the Lingyun Palace, and promised him that as long as he had done it for a thousand years, he would let him leave the Yellow Springs Kingdom and give him the freedom he wanted. For the first two hundred years, he counted time almost every day, but by the third hundred, time had become less important, and as the number of spirit cards he managed increased, his desire for freedom became more and more slim.

When you haven't seen anything good, but you know too much of its ugliness, all your expectations for it begin to be discounted, and eventually become negative, making him afraid of going out of the Yellow Springs to the human world.

The Demon King of Yama allowed the One-Eyed Witch to leave the Lingyun Palace once every hundred years. It was precisely one time when he went out and met Hyacinth, and that was a long time ago. Although it was only a brief meeting, during the conversation with him, he learned a lot about the outside world, most of which were completely different from what he had known before, and the flame of hope in his heart was once again ignited.

In his eyes, Hyacinth is a man who is as elegant as an elf, he has a flower-like posture, but in his heart he has always carried a too heavy past, and he never mentions what he has experienced, and he never asks much. They agreed to meet every 100 years, and Hyacinth told him stories about the outside world, and the one-eyed old witch told Hyacinth some stories he knew about the Yellow Springs Kingdom, including many unknown secrets, as well as bits and pieces of information about his own background. How he woke up in the Forbidden Forest, and how he was caught, he never thought to relive that experience if he didn't want to say something in return to Hyacinth.

The only remaining pupil of him had a considerable aura, and at first he could only feel some of the pictures and feelings of the owners of those names through the names on the spirit cards he received, but later he could see the complete events. But what he could see was something he couldn't control, that is, he couldn't selectively see a certain time or certain things, but just randomly crashed into something in his one-eyed eye. He had tried to sneak a sense of his past when he met with Hyacinth, but to no avail, and then he began to affirm that he could only see some superficial information, that is, a part of the information that the owner of the information would not want to hide, and that he would not be able to obtain if it was information that the person desperately wanted to protect or forget. He is by no means an old man, his knowledge is only because of his abilities, he has what he does not want, and what he really wants to know is unknown, such as where he came from, such as Hyacinth's past and what unknown experiences he has in the past.

He was excited the moment he saw Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, and as soon as they took out the colored crystals he loved to collect, he knew that Hyacinth had guided them. In the entire Yellow Springs Realm, he is the only one who understands his preferences. He didn't know how to define his relationship with Hyacinth, and he desperately searched for a word from the knowledge he had gained from others to describe what Hyacinth meant to him, and he found that the word was "friend". But then, he learned too much about the betrayal and deception between friends, which made him wonder what his friends really were. Precisely, what a magical combination these three people in front of him are, the descendants of the demon king fox, the successor to the throne of the demon world, the human girl who signed a blood alliance with him, and the only son of the Amber Dragon King.

They have young lives, pure souls and beautiful appearances, and they have the same mission on their shoulders, all of which is undoubtedly not envied by him. Moreover, they were helped by their only friend, Hyacinth, who really made him decide to take a risk, and it was not those colored crystals that were willing to help them, but Hyacinth, who guided them to come. He stubbornly believes that the person Hyacinth wants to protect must also be the one he should sacrifice his life to protect, even if he will face the guilt of the temperamental and ruthless Flame Luo Demon King, he is not afraid, isn't this an adventure? Isn't it because of such an adventure that my heart is racing because I am locked up in this cage?

The old witch turned around and walked to the side, at this time, Xia Qiu, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi, who were gradually accustomed to the darkness, only to find that the shelves on the walls of this Lingyun Palace were full of all kinds of strange-shaped stones. The old witch placed the stone he had received from them into a grid that looked important, and in that grid there was already a colored crystal, and in the center of the pitch-black stone was a yellowed trunk, which was clearly his own.

After he had set up the stones, he took a deep breath and turned to the teenagers and said, "Okay, I will ask you your names one by one, who I will ask you to do, and you will do as you do, and you don't need to say more!" ”
