Shen Yuan listened, and the first thing she affirmed was her guess about the Nether Monarch.

The Nether Monarch was indeed as she thought, and did not leave Wangyou Mountain. But it's not wrong to say that he went to find Su Weijun. Because monitoring the movements of the puppet witch is not the best way to know the whereabouts of the sorrowful king? It's much more useful than squirming around like a headless fly.

Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and it seemed that the little shoulders that stood up because of nervousness fell down in an instant.

Shen Yuan felt funny, and pinched it a few times, only to pinch the thin shoulder skull, and suddenly remembered something, opened a small purse on his body, and took out a few yellow, yellow, white and white things from it.

"Osmanthus cake? Dragon halva! ”

Jiuyou was pleasantly surprised to pick up the snack from Shen Yuan's hand and eat it, but she almost choked because it was too dry, making Shen Yuan pat her back a few times worriedly. She coughed dryly a few times, and when the sweet taste echoed in her mouth, Jiuyou's eyes lit up with emotion, "I thought your purse would be used to hold magic weapons, but I didn't expect you to remember to bring me something delicious!" ”

Jiuyou himself forgot when he talked to Shen Yuan, sweets will make people happy, so he forgot about sadness and anxiety. It's short-lived, but it's useful.

Shen Yuan actually remembered.

She didn't eat them all, and she left a few pieces behind, planning to eat them when she really wanted to. After all, she didn't know how long she would have to stay in the bamboo forest, nor how much energy would take to do what she wanted to do.

For her, the purpose of her entering the bamboo forest this time is actually more than just exposing the puppet witch on the surface.

Because she was inspired by the puppet witch possessing Jin Cheng, she began to rethink the question of whether she had a spirit or not.

She hadn't been hurt since she entered the underworld. Jasper Lake entered the water, and she did not feel suffocated; was kidnapped by Chi Yu Chi Yu, and Chi Yu didn't have time to hurt her; Not to mention the dream created by the water god Xuanwu, it was originally an illusion, and everything that happened in it was fake.

Then, it's time to meet the puppet witch.

What she wanted to know was: why didn't the puppet witch choose to possess the stronger pine? Is it just because you value Jin Cheng and have the highest cultivation? Obviously, she herself is a demon who has been born for thousands of years, so she still cares about this?

Is it because you don't like it? There is such a possibility. However, both the Netherworld Monarch and the Sorrowful Monarch have mentioned that the Underworld is no different from the other Five Realms, and only the strong can have the right to speak.

To say that the puppet witch doesn't want to become stronger, Jiuyou doesn't believe it. She has been planning for so many years in order to destroy the two factions of Wangyoushan, how can she put herself in a vulnerable position when she is about to kick the door?

Therefore, there must be other reasons why the puppet witch chose Jin Cheng. And this reason seems to explain the question of whether she has a spirit or not that has been bothering her for a long time.

Although there are many dangers in the bamboo forest, there are also infinite possibilities. If she could answer the question of "who am I" while exploring the bamboo forest, the distress she couldn't tell anyone would be eliminated.

***

In order to prevent separation, Jiuyou flew lower than usual, and his little hands were always firmly buried in Shen Yuan's hands.

Shen Yuan didn't wear the wide-sleeved robe she was used to wearing today, but changed to a more capable sleeved military uniform, with a red and black color scheme and a high ponytail, which reminded her of the demon slayer general in the Xuanwu Fantasy Realm.

After thinking about it, what she and Shen Yuan are going to do today is not to eliminate demons. It's just that this time she can join forces with Shen Yuan to face it, instead of being invisible, from behind-the-scenes workers to the front of the stage.

Therefore, this hand ...... Jiuyou glanced down at his own hand that disappeared in Shen Yuan's hand, and thought: But you have to hold it tightly, there is no accident that can separate her from Shen Yuan.

But as soon as she planted the flag, she saw a little wild cat and pulled it out with her own hands.

Similarly, Shen Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with her chasing a cat at first, but when he saw Jiuyou stretching out his hand to the little wild cat but not touching the little wild cat, he thought that Jiuyou was afraid of hurting the little wild cat.

"Shen Yuan, come and see, what is it drinking? Will it be toxic? ”

Jiuyou looked innocently at Shen Yuan, eagerly waiting for Shen Yuan's answer. Shen Yuan saw that the little wild cat was drinking a blue-green liquid from the root of the bamboo, and remembered where he seemed to have seen it.

"This liquid should be bamboo li, and if it is symptomatic, it can cure cough. However, the taste of Zhuli is special, and it does not quite match the taste of carnivorous cats, which is very weird. ”

"Instead of eating meat, come and drink bamboo juice?" Jiuyou thought of a saying, "It must be because it can't eat meat or drink water, so it can only drink bamboo juice to quench its thirst and fill its stomach at the same time." ”

Speaking of this, she realized one thing, "So in this bamboo forest, will there be no water source?" If you don't have water, if you're injured, can't you get water to heal your injury? ”

Shen Yuan thought of this question almost at the same time, and he also felt a little tricky. But in order to alleviate Jiuyou's psychological burden, I was afraid that her heartstrings, which had just relaxed a little, would tighten again, so I had to touch her head and tell her, "So this test is also in your guess, that is, to bet that we are lucky and will not be injured, or, not fatally." By the way, do you think that the purse I am wearing today is a little familiar? ”

Jiuyou grabbed his purse and looked through it for a while, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen it, so he had to look at Shen Yuan for help.

Shen Yuan didn't seem to be angry because she couldn't guess, and even spoke in a brisk tone, "This is the Qiankun bag of the second senior brother, that is, outside Tongtian Island, the master gave it to him casually. Later, when he went to collect medicine, he also used this to pretend. Because he left me behind when I was in the canyon, when I borrowed the Qiankun bag from him, he didn't hesitate and agreed to lend it to me. ”

"Being able to make amends shows that his nature is not bad. But why he followed the puppet witch's footsteps, we still have to find out why. ”

Jiuyou curiously put her hand into the Qiankun bag, until she almost stuffed her entire arm into it, but she didn't probe to the end, and the Qiankun bag was not deformed because of her movements, but stayed on Shen Yuan's body in a good manner.

"It's amazing! Wouldn't that be as good as you wanted! ”

Jiuyou searched through the Qiankun bag, and thought of countless things she wanted to put in it, such as a little wild cat or something.

But then, she heard a retching sound just in time.

Jiuyou followed the prestige, and the little wild cat may have drunk too much and was too anxious, and he didn't like the taste, so he retched.

Jiuyou gently cast a spell to remove the dust on its body, so that she could finally see that it was an orange cat.

"Big orange is important? Orange cats are very edible, where are they like you, there is no need to eat. ”

Jiuyou held the little orange cat in her arms, looked at Shen Yuan inquiringly, and when she saw him shaking his head, she knew that there was nothing for cats to eat in the Qiankun bag.

That's right, if there was, he would have taken it out a long time ago, and he didn't have to wait for Jiuyou to mention it.

"But I brought this."

Shen Yuan said, and took out a huge book from the Qiankun bag, which was the "Underworld Canon" that was "hidden" by Jiuyou.

"I just asked you to look in my room, and you really found it? Doesn't that mean that I've failed to hide something? ”

Jiuyou instantly doubted life. To be exact, to doubt one's own intelligence.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. I understand your intentions, so I can find out. But it's not necessarily a different person, you can try it next time. ”

Jiuyou hurriedly confessed: "It's better to say goodbye, if you are found again, I will feel like a fool." ”

She also added: "Except, of course, being found by you." ”

Shen Yuan sat on the ground, opened the "Underworld Canon", and put it on his lap. He is tall and tall because of his slender figure, and it is pleasing to the eye to do such casual movements.

After Jiuyou looked him up and down for a few weeks, he realized that he had stretched out his hand to him, as if to hug him.

"You are ......" Jiuyou showed embarrassment on his face, twisting and squeezing Shen Yuan's hand for a long time without responding to it.

And Shen Yuan didn't know what she was thinking for a while, seeing that she didn't take the initiative, he had to take action himself, took the little orange cat from Jiuyou's arms, and put it on the "Underworld Canon".

Jiuyou: "......"

What a picture of a handsome guy with a "baby (cat)".

I saw that after Shen Yuan asked the little orange cat to stay on paper, he seemed surprised by what he saw.

Jiuyou hurriedly floated behind Shen Yuan and looked at the writing. Originally, she thought that "The Underworld Canon" would not show a lot of "meow meow" just because the main body of the watch was a cat, right? Otherwise, you can't make a voice meow.

But it was obvious that she was wrong, the "Underworld Canon" did not show any results, just like a wordless heavenly book, those who understand need luck and strength to exist at the same time.

And the two people and one cat in front of the book right now, only the cat that can't speak and read is the ultimate winner.

It "understood" the story of itself in the Underworld Codex, and reacted violently, squinting and screaming as its limbs stiffened and struggled in Shen Yuan's hands.

When the two of them were at a loss, a strange sound came from their ears. Jiuyu looked at the bushes that made the sound, and saw a strange animal, on all fours, but with messy hair and cloth like human clothes.

The reason why I say cloth is because those rags no longer have the shape of clothes, they are just wrapped around the body. Like long, knotted hair, you can see how careless and powerless the owner is to clean up the appearance.

On the one hand, there is a little orange cat who is crying bitterly, and on the other hand, there is a mysterious person who is silent at this time, and the whole body is explaining what he has encountered, Jiuyou can't help but sigh, "Will the people we meet in the bamboo forest become more and more pitiful?" ”

Before Shen Yuan could answer, when the mysterious man pounced on him, he quickly handed the little orange cat to Jiuyou's hand, and at the same time, his hands quickly sealed and pointed on the mysterious man's head.

Jiuyou was able to see the gender of the mysterious person, and strangely, the little wild cat in his hand quickly stopped screaming and turned to shiver after leaving the "Underworld Canon".

"Give it to me!" The mystery man shouted.
