On the pale cheeks of the white-haired god of death, there was no trace of mood fluctuations, sitting at the dining table, holding his cheeks with his dry white bone five fingers, and said lightly:

"Yes."

Before Luo He could rejoice, he heard her next sentence.

"But I want to fulfill the agreement between you and the three-headed dog first, and take you to Devil's Axe Village."

Luo He said: "Actually, don't be so troublesome, just send me back......

"No, you can't."

The white-haired Grim Reaper indifferently refused, and his voice sounded like a sentence from hell, and commanded:

"Sit down."

An aura of death and despair permeated from the black cloak that draped her body.

Luo He sat down obediently and looked at the white-haired Grim Reaper with an expressionless face and pale cheeks.

"Hands." Death spreads his hands.

Luo He was stunned: "Huh? ”

Grim Reaper: "......"

Xiu Gou jumped on Luo He's knee and obediently handed his hand to the god of death.

The Grim Reaper shook Xiugou's claws, reached out and pinched its fleshy cheek before bowing his head.

"I want to ask ......" Luo He cleared his throat and said, "When I leave from Ghost Axe Village, will you be able to send me back?" ”

The white-haired Grim Reaper nodded slightly.

She ignored Luo He and concentrated on destroying the rest of the dishes.

On the foggy and dark sea, only the sound of the waves of the huge ship rowing through the sea echoed, and a dim lamp illuminated a small part of the surrounding sea.

Luo He was relatively speechless with the Grim Reaper.

I don't know how long I traveled, Death gently put down the snow-white dinner knife in his hand, and put it next to the plate with a soft sound,

At the same time, the fog that hung in front of the huge ship suddenly dissipated, and as if a curtain was rising, a complex of buildings by the riverbank came into view.

"Is that the Devil's Axe Village?" Luo He asked curiously.

Death nodded slightly: "Send you there, I promised the three-headed dog, and the agreement between you and the three-headed dog has been fulfilled." ”

Luo He pondered for a moment.

Unexpectedly, the Grim Reaper attaches so much importance to conventions.

However, come to think of it, this Grim Reaper's errand may be one of the missions that most focuses on the spirit of contract.

Then again.

I am indeed a little curious about the "ghost axe village" in the mouth of these three-headed dogs.

It's not too late to investigate there, and then let the Grim Reaper send me back to where I was.

"Then, I'll go to Devil Axe Village first."

Luo He looked at the white-haired Grim Reaper: "Then please send me back...... May I? ”

"The agreement is complete, and I can send you back now." The Grim Reaper said slowly.

"Then you'd better wait here for me a little longer." Luo He said truthfully: "I happen to want to go to this ghost axe village to have a look." ”

The Grim Reaper was silent for a moment and nodded slightly: "I promise you." ”

She turned and looked at the dim sea: "I'll wait for you here, and then send you back to where you were from." ”

"But you need to return before dawn, and you can't wait." The white-haired Grim Reaper said lightly.

"There is also a time of dawn in the spirit world?" Luo He said in surprise.

The white-haired Grim Reaper didn't answer, and asked Luo He to stretch out his hand again.

This time, Luo He obediently complied, but saw that the god of death picked up the snow-white dinner knife and put the handle in Luo He's hand.

As he entered, Luo He felt a chill in his soul, and legend has it that the kitchenware vibrated as if protesting against this strange tableware.

But the dinner knife took the initiative to restrain its breath, as if it was shrinking in the corner, and the trembling of the legendary kitchenware gradually subsided.

In Luo He's impression, the legendary kitchenware created by Emperor Nong is all Chinese-style kitchenware.

And this Western-style dinner knife is obviously completely different from the style of Chinese kitchenware, but it seems to have its own unique ability.

What surprised Luo He even more was that under the stimulation of this cold and death breath, his bottleneck was able to break through.

A whole month and a half!

The space level, which has been stagnant for a long time, has finally been improved!

The fifth-level space means that Luo He has stepped into the expert-level realm, and he can contract five pet beasts at most.

Luo He suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the death-surging dinner knife in his hand.

"This is my dinner knife, take it with you."

The Grim Reaper paused for a moment and said, "There will be no beings in the spirit realm who will attack my cook." ”

Luo He was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart:

"When did I become your chef?"

But in front of the big guy, you still have to admit it when it's time to admit it.

What's more, this [Death's Dinner Knife] sounds very domineering, and the high and low is also a piece of equipment that only appears in myths and legends.

There's a catch, though.

Taking the [Death's Dinner Knife] is equivalent to involving cause and effect with the Grim Reaper, and she will definitely be able to find herself in the future......

Luo He put his heart sideways.

No matter.

There are enough big guys who are involved in cause and effect with themselves, and there are not many more!

Luo He tried to put this snow-white dinner knife into the storage space, but he didn't expect to succeed after trying it, and immediately expressed his gratitude to the Grim Reaper:

"Then I'll take this knife with me... Thank you for your gift! ”

The white-haired Grim Reaper stood on the deck, nodding expressionlessly, watching Luo He leave the ship's ladder, his back gradually disappearing into the fog.

In her eye sockets, the cluster of cold and burning green fire reflected the countless spiritual souls in the fog grinding their teeth and sucking blood.

They condescend from the uninvited guest who has entered the village alone, like a wild beast that has seen its prey in the wilderness.

However.

Behind the human, a huge phantasm floated.

Dressed in a black robe and holding a dagger-like knife, the phantom poked viciously into the fog.

A dead soul was picked up by a dinner knife and sent in the direction of the black-robed man with a wail. The black-robed man took off his cloak, revealing a terrifying face that was half shadowed and half skeleton, and opened his bloody mouth to swallow the souls of the dead. Three times and five divided by two, the evil spirits that coveted human beings in the fog had all died under the knife and were swallowed by the black-robed man.

These after-dinner snacks taste vastly different from those made by humans.

"It's unpalatable."

Death muttered in a low voice, "Wait for my cook to come back, and let him cook another meal......"

*

Luo He summoned the heroic dog and walked towards the village in the fog with Xiu Gou.

It is worth mentioning that when the god of death was rubbing the dog's head just now, the death qi that poured into the cultivation body had stabilized. After the cultivation digests it, the growth level will inevitably increase to another realm.

In addition, this breath of death can also be used to strengthen the 'Evil Slash', making the Evil Slash more oppressive and lethal when it is wielded.

Only a chivalrous man who has faced death in person can become a true hero.

And the heroic dog has not only faced death...... I was also held in the arms of death and rubbed my head!

Luo He couldn't help but sigh.

Although the process is a bit strange... But speaking of which, Xiu is also a swordsman who has faced death and survived!

It's not just Xiu, but their own pet beasts are all familiar with their faces in front of death.

After facing the oppression of death, even if you encounter a terrifying situation in the future, it is nothing.

Devil's Axe Village.

Luo He's arrival attracted the attention of the two guards.

The appearance of the guard is no different from that of a human, but the body is translucent.

The guards expressed surprise at Luo He's visit, and their expressions became even more shocked when they learned that Luo He had come here through the fog.

"You mean to say that you alone walked through the fog outside the village and came to Devil Axe Village alone?" Guarding the Road.

Luo He: "Is there any problem?" ”

Another guard exclaimed, "It's a miracle that you didn't die in the fog......

From the guard's mouth, Luo He learned that the 'Great Fog' was the most dangerous existence in the spirit world.

In the spirit world, the fog rises and falls, and when the fog obscures the sky, it is very likely that the fog hides extremely ferocious and powerful ghosts.

"Today's fog is ridiculously large, and you can still walk here alone."

The guards looked Luo He up and down, muttering, "I don't know how a capable person like you came to the spirit world......

The reason why it was safe and sound, Luo He guessed that eighty percent of it was a table knife given by the god of death, which had an effect.

Luo He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained the reason why he came to the spirit world:

"I stumbled into the Spirit Rift by accident, was sucked in by the Spirit Rift, and then found this place along the fog."

There was a little more sympathy in the guard's eyes:

"You're young, and you must have a lot of lifespan, and you ended up in this hellish place...... Anyway, if you can't enter the spirit realm, you might as well stay in our village. ”

"What if the village chief doesn't agree?" Luo He Dao.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said regretfully:

"As you know, there are many crises in the spiritual world, and our village has its own considerations. However, the village chief has had the same experience as you, and you are very capable, I believe he will not be difficult for you. ”

Luo He was surprised and said, "Village Chief, also fell into the Spirit Realm from the [Spirit Rift]?" ”

"It's a long story." The guard said, "You just need to know that the village chief is the most knowledgeable person we have here, and you will know when you see him." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the other guard, "Hey, take this young man to the village chief, and then talk to him about the rules or something." ”

The other nodded and gestured to Luo He.

Luo He followed in his footsteps and walked through the Ghost Axe Village.

The architecture of the village was decent, and Luo He even saw spirit-like children chasing and playing.

In the dark spiritual realm, Luo He was amazed to see the smiles of the children.

The guard took a look and explained that there was no shortage of children in the village who died young, and the village chief took them in and taught them to read and write.

Luo He couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "Teach ghosts to read and write?" ”

"I often wonder what is the use of the village chief teaching everyone to read when everyone is dead. But then the chaotic ghost village became united. Everyone was willing to listen to the village chief, and changed the name of the village from 'ghost village' to 'ghost axe village'. ”

Luo He looked at the child thoughtfully, and said:

"Are they grown?"

"It's not long, and when it's the end of life, it's time to go to the spirit realm from here."

It may sound pointless.

However, at least Luo He felt that the village chief's behavior sounded like teaching.

It's just that the place where the volunteer teaching is a bit remote...... Spiritual realm.

Luo He became more and more curious about the identity of the village chief, and followed the guards to a simple wooden house.

The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, communicated briefly, and immediately gave Luo He a look.

Luo He pushed the door open.

Indoors, the windows are bright and clean, and the display is simple.

Next to the desk, there was a middle-aged man with a polite temperament, who looked like a high-level intellectual just by looking at his temperament, and stood up and shook hands with Luo He:

"Hello."

"You...... Good. Luo He stared at the middle-aged man's face in a daze.

"Excuse me, what's the problem?" The man wondered.

The man's eyebrows gave Luo He an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry.

Luo He coughed lightly and said, "I just wanted to ask you... I heard that you also fell here from the rift in the spirit world? ”

"That was more than a decade ago." The middle-aged man shook his head lightly and said, "Don't mention it." ”

Suddenly, a spiritual light crossed Luo He's mind.

The timing is right!

"You...... Is it a Donghuang person? ”

"Yes."

Luo He said abruptly: "Then may I ask what industry you were engaged in before you came to the spirit world?" ”

"Why do you ask this?" The man looked at Luo He in confusion.

"It's true." Luo He observed the man's face, and said cautiously: "I know a young girl, her name is Li Wanqing......"

The man's smile stopped.

His eyes suddenly became complex and deep.

As if there were infinite thoughts coming to his mind at the same time, Luo He saw him slowly take off his reading glasses and sit slowly at the desk.

Between Luo He and the man, there was a suffocating silence, Luo He saw his lips move slightly many times, and he finally took the lead in breaking the silence:

"You...... How did you meet her? ”

"She and I are colleagues." Luo He said cautiously, "I heard from her that her father was missing when she was a young man investigating the rift in the spirit world. ”

The man smiled full of vicissitudes, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were stretched, and there was sadness in his flickering eyes:

"She's willing to tell you this, you must be good friends."

Luo He nodded silently.

"She... How is everything? The man said.

"Good." Luo He said: "At the age of eighteen, he was promoted to become the youngest master in the history of Donghuang, and now he is ranked in the top three in the Donghuang Master League. ”

"She... Eighteen years old. The man's eyes flickered, "Yes, it's been more than ten years, and it's time to grow up..."

"She has never given up on finding her father's whereabouts." Luo He said: "You are her ......"

"Didn't you already guess it?"

The man gestured to a chair next to him, "Please take a seat." ”

Luo He sat down and said, "I just didn't expect to meet you in such a coincidental situation. ”

The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he said:

"In the first few years of coming to the spirit world, I have been looking for a way to go back, and by mistake, I became the head of this village."

"So, you will always see my ......" The man's vicissitudes of life still had the spirit of scolding Fang Xuan, "In that sentence, it is gold, and it will always shine." ”

Luo He: "Director Li......"

"Just call me Li Yangqing." The man said, "Or, you can call me the village chief." ”

It was rude to call the daimyo after all, and Luo He said cautiously: "If I say, I may have a way to leave the spirit world... Would you like to try it out with me? ”

"I've tried everything I can."

Li Yangqing shook his head lightly: "What's more, my lifespan is short... Even if I could go back, I would come back here. ”

Luo He wanted to speak and stopped.

He may be able to move the Grim Reaper and let him open the net and return himself and the father of the team.

However, the latter is an unavoidable problem.

Even the Grim Reaper only has the authority to deprive life, but not the power to give life.

Li Yangqing took the initiative to comfort Luo He:

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, each has a certain number... I've seen it for a long time, and you don't need to worry about me. ”

Li Yangqing said slowly: "You can pass through the fog, and you claim to be able to go back, I believe you must have your own means." ”

"If you can really leave the spirit world, you can really see the sunshine...... Please also help me forward a letter home. ”

Luo He nodded slightly.

The man removed the quill pen from the desk, and his deep gaze was fixed on the papyrus on the desk.

Every stroke is poured into the man's full strength, and the sound of sighing continues to echo in the quiet room.

It's been a long time.

The man exhaled a long breath of turbidity, folded the letter in his hand as if it were a treasure, and solemnly handed it into Luo He's hand.

At this time, Li Yang asked in a trembling voice, "You...... Can you really see her? ”

Luo He nodded confirmingly: "I must be able to." ”

Li Yangqing showed a hint of a smile and said:

"Life is like a journey, and I am also a pedestrian...... The spiritual realm is the end and beginning of all things, but now, it's not yours. ”

"By the way, I still have something, you wait for me here for a while......"

Li Yangqing left the room and turned back again, holding a small disc like a power furnace in his hand.

The disc is about the size of a CD disc and has a transparent casing with a green flame that is constantly burning in the shell.

"This is an invention of mine during my time in the spirit world, and I named it the [Psionic Core]."

Li Yangqing said: "The energy of the spirit world is different from the dust world, it dissipates quickly but has a huge amount of energy. I tried to make use of this energy, and the invention of this core will have a certain effect on the development of mechanical life. ”

"I'm sorry for you, bring this [Psionic Core] back with you."

Li Yangqing said: "It can be regarded as my last bit of strength to the Donghuang Scientific Research Bureau." ”

Luo He took the spiritual energy core and invited Li Yangqing to leave the spiritual world with him again, but all he got was a man's smile and shaking his head.

When leaving Ghost Axe Village, Li Yangqing personally sent Luo He to the entrance of the village.

Luo He looked at the device in his hand, looked at this unique village in the spirit world, and suddenly said:

"I think Shengong Village is more in line with you, the village chief, and this village."

"Shengong Village ......"

Li Yangqing smiled: "It's a bold proposal." I made a note of it. ”

Luo He waved at the polite man.

The fog hit again, swallowing him in.

The village was out of sight, and Luo He could only follow the fog before reaching the riverbank.

On the River Styx, the giant ship docked here, and the white-haired Grim Reaper stood on the deck, quietly looking down on Luo He, as if he had seen everything.

"Do not try to persuade any life to leave the spirit realm."

Death said coldly, "Don't let me warn you a second time. ”

Luo He sighed lightly, adjusted his mood, and said:

"This is the end of the matter, let's eat first."

The white-haired Grim Reaper's eyes flashed, full of interest:

"Dinner."
