Chapter 33: Out of the Underworld

It turns out that Jiuyou was inspired by the illusion and guessed the weakness of the puppet witch.

People have five senses and six senses, but the puppet witch is a puppet made by the old demon king, with an empty human body, but she can't really use these cumbersome parts as freely as a human.

But she has the ability to protect herself that is given by the old demon king, buried deep in her nature. If someone attacks her from the front, she doesn't have to move her eyes to see and dodge; If someone attacks her from the back or side, she can tell by the sound of her voice before dodging.

After the puppet witch left the cultivation of the old demon king, it was like a flower that had left its roots, and from the moment it was withdrawn, it began to wither. For so many years, she has not grown up, nor has she become stronger, and although her body does not metabolize like a normal person, it will inevitably go to another degree of extinction.

In the illusion, in order to harass Shen Yuan, Jiuyou deliberately spoke loudly when he closed his eyes. Because the ear does not have a "cover" that exists on the eye like the eyelids, there are many more steps to block hearing than to block visual flowers.

Inspired by these two points, Jiuyou guesses that if you want the puppet witch to disappear, you must discover her weaknesses. Shen Yuan said that the Snow Fox King was obviously a puppet witch's subordinate, but he was ordered to stay away from her, and only when she summoned him could he come forward to protect her.

And the Snow Fox King has always acted in a high-profile manner, and if he has anything to provoke the puppet witch to make this decision, it must be from the point of view of what he does most often.

After ruling out some possibilities, Jiuyou and Shen Yuan focused their attention on the Snow Fox King's iconic howl. In fact, it is a gamble, and the puppet witch does not have a way to "cover" her ears.

After deciding on the goal of their efforts, the two went to the small village that Shen Yuan was most familiar with, that is, the closest human world to the Stygian Sea. This is the first time in more than nine days that he has stepped out of the underworld, but at such a critical juncture.

Before she had time to take a look at the fireworks in the human world that she was familiar with and loved, she had to complete the goal of collecting sounds and quickly return to the underworld to support the two masters.

On the way, Shen Yuan promised her that if she could get through this pass safely, he would tell her the story he saw in the world, or take her directly to the world again.

Although both Jiuyou and himself knew very well that with the current strength of the two of them, the Nether Lord would definitely not agree to him and her leaving the Underworld.

Although the underworld will be the same as it is now, it will suddenly not be peaceful, but compared to the weakest human world in the six realms, at least the Netherworld Lord can protect his apprentices.

Just like this time, the cause was Shen Yuan's injury, and the result was that the Nether Lord received the notification in time and rushed to Shen Yuan's side.

***

Jiuyou didn't expect that the first terrifying sound stored with the river mussel would be effective, so she also prepared a variety of complexes mixed with unpleasant sounds, and saved them and brought them over.

Shen Yuan came up with this point, as well as the conch, and he was extremely familiar with these aquatic creatures during Shen Yuan's growth.

The river mussel is like a treasure chest, which is useful when opened; Although the conch is troublesome and needs to be blown, the sound is longer.

The river mussel is in the hands of Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan is responsible for opening the river mussel; The conch is in Jiuyou's hand, and Jiuyou is responsible for blowing with his cheeks. Coupled with Bai Lianghe's hard chirping, a man, a woman and a bird seem to form a symphony orchestra.

Nether King and Blazing Sun stood involuntarily in place, one slightly stunned and happy to understand the truth, the other stunned, unable to hear the sound, but still shocked by their hard performance.

After his mouth was almost round, Ye Yan immediately clamored to join. Jiuyou hurriedly threw him a few conches, and he rested.

Ye Yan has good physical strength and energy, and the effect is doubled after joining. Originally, the Snow Fox King was not sensitive to sound, and he didn't want to leave because of Jiuyou's fuss. By the time he sensed that something was wrong with his master, it was too late.

The puppet witch fell to the ground, and the Snow Fox King didn't respond no matter how much she screamed, presumably because of the noise attack, and she was already "dead" by the noise.

Seeing that the master was not angry, the Snow Fox King thought about retaining his strength, and said something before leaving, looking at his expression, he said a cruel word, and then fled in the wilderness.

Jiuyou took off his and Shen Yuan's earplugs, and asked Shen Yuan incredulously, "It seems that we drove him away, right?" Why can he feel unashamedly that he chose to leave on his own initiative? ”

Shen Yuan pursed his lips and smiled: "Probably this is confidence." ”

Jiuyou couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Shen Yuan like this, and praised him, "Not bad, you have learned the essence of speaking with me." I declare you the title of the first place in the yin and yang weirdness! ”

While the two were playing, Blazing Sun couldn't wait to run to the puppet witch and bring the broken doll to the Nether King.

The puppet witch, who does not make a sound or move, is like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© villain, an empty shelf, so light that its weight is almost negligible.

Jiuyou said: "It turns out that the sound is so lethal to her because she is empty, and the sound will form an echo when it comes into her ears." If I think about that situation, I should have been noisy to death. ”

Shen Yuan's voice lowered: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Jiuyou quickly stuck out his tongue and "blah" twice.

After inspecting the puppet witch's body, the Nether Monarch looked solemn, and after waiting for the apprentices to discuss happily for a while, he thought about it and told them euphemistically, "First of all, congratulations to you, you can succeed in the first battle against a strong enemy." After Shen Yuan was injured, he still did not admit defeat or surrender, and helped delay time for the division; Blazing Yang and Ye Yan even worked together to repel the Snow Fox King, everyone has merit today, and after you go back, you will be rewarded one by one for the teacher. ”

When he said this, although Jiuyou didn't want to interrupt Master's words, because the situation was wrong, he still didn't hesitate to ask directly, "We met Senior Brother on the way to Mochizuki Sect. At that time, Senior Brother was in a hurry to rush to Master's place, why is it that now Shen Yuan and I have left and come back, but Senior Brother is nowhere to be seen? ”

Blazing Yang and Ye Yan glanced at each other and shook their heads at each other, it seemed that the two of them didn't see Jin Cheng at all.

Only then did the Nether Monarch say "It's broken", and it was too late to tell the apprentices about the puppet witch, and finding Jin Cheng became the most important thing at the moment.

He ordered a few apprentices: "Although it is faster to find them separately, considering that the underworld is invaded by the demon world and it is not safe to be separated, I hope that you will stay with the master at all times and do not get separated." ”

Everyone agreed, after all, the situation was critical, and it would not be a trivial matter for one of them to have an accident.

So the Netherworld Monarch led everyone to find it according to the route that Jiuyou and Shen Yuan had taken when they left, and did not miss any clues along the way, and launched a search.

They all knew that the worst outcome would be to try to use Jin Cheng's personal belongings to summon Jin Cheng's soul back like waking up the abyss sleeping in the illusion.

But if you go that far, it means that Jin Cheng is dead.

Although Jin Cheng is an elf and this is the underworld, Jin Cheng will still die, and he will not appear in the life and death book of Lord Yama, and his fate cannot be changed.

Resurrection like Kwai Er is pure luck. In order to do this, it can be said that it is against heaven and humanity, because Kwai Er was already dead at that time, and Su Sorrow Jun made a decision without her permission, if Yu Yu restored Kwai Er's memory, it is still unknown whether Su Yu Jun will be blamed.

***

Although the Nether Lord said that Jiuyou they couldn't leave his side. But everyone tacitly kept a distance not far and not close, not letting others out of their sight, but still maintained a state of independent exploration.

Jiuyou and Shen Yuan are inseparable, and when Shen Yuan went to hold Jiuyou's hand, he felt Jiuyou's nervousness. He didn't know what Jiuyou had in mind, and in order to ease her anxiety, he simply talked to Jiuyou about what she wanted to know, his past.

"I've probably lived alone for as long as I can remember. I thought that the world should be like the bottom of the Styx, which did not see the light of day and floated, until one day I chased a small snow-white fish, swam a little higher, and found a strange beam of light shining on the little fish, making the scales on the little fish turn golden yellow. ”

Jiuyou listened and imagined that the abyss in his early childhood should be like a child born and raised in a fisherman by the sea, with the sea and fish as his companion every day.

It's just that Shen Yuan is an elf, and his complexion and appearance have been destined since he had a spirit body, and there will not be much deviation, so unlike children in the world, his skin will not be tanned by the sun.

But even if he was born in the Stygian Sea, he couldn't pick his eyes and let his eyes be the springs of the underworld?

Jiuyou squeezed Shen Yuan's hand, Shen Yuan shook it back, and continued, "Ever since I discovered everything that is stranger than the Styx, I have often swam out of the Styx to see the outside world. ”

"The Stygian Sea is extremely vast, and in the beginning, I was able to go to land wherever I swam. After I became familiar with the directions, I understood where I could swim to Huangquan Road, where I could swim to the world, and where I would find a huge egg. ”

Shen Yuan paused and described the strange egg to Jiuyou, "The little snake on the back of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, if there is a baby snake, it will probably only be a little smaller than that egg. ”

Jiuyou thought Shen Yuan's description was funny: "Huge egg? Little snakes? ”

Shen Yuan's face didn't react, and the tips of his ears turned red. He turned to face Jiu for a long moment, then turned around again and continued to walk forward.

"You haven't seen Xuanwu, naturally it's all imagination, I forgot." After saying that, like Jiuyou, when he felt stupid, he slapped his head hard.

Jiuyou stifled a smile and reached out to smooth his arm.

Shen Yuan waited for the embarrassment to pass, and changed the topic without a teacher, "At that time, my favorite thing gradually changed from catching different kinds of fish to going to the world to learn how to be a person. ”

When Jiuyou heard his description, he couldn't hold back, and finally laughed, and the laughter made the other three look sideways. She hurriedly covered her mouth, forced her laughter, and endured her tears until tears came out.

Shen Yuan sighed, stretched out his handkerchief, wiped her face, and saw that her little face was flushed, and the tension just now had long disappeared, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
