Zhang Mingyu once said something to me.

He said that he was determined to establish his heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue his studies for the saints, and to open peace for all generations.

I didn't understand what I meant at the time, but now I understand something.

It's nothing more than the word 'keep'.

Unlike my responsibility as a village keeper, his 'guard' is in this world, and his idea is more ambitious, while mine is simple.

If not as a last resort.

I just want to live......

It was already two days later when I came to the foot of the mountain where the Revenant River was located.

It was a few days faster than the last time Liu Shan took me from the Soul River to Batong Village.

This time I went to the River of Revenants, and I didn't stay too much along the way, except for a short rest.

After merging with the fourth Earth Immortal Bone, I felt an indescribable change in my body, a change that made me barely feel tired even if I didn't sleep for a day or a night.

Immortals in the world.

Maybe I have really reached the so-called 'immortal' level, although I am still a little close, but the change is already very obvious.

Now I, without using the Astounding Array, with just one Earth Immortal Sword, I am sure that I can defeat the head of the five families, if I use the Astounding Array, even the City God guarding Huangquan Road on one side will be difficult to threaten me, ordinary City God, maybe just use the Lei Fa taught me by Li Bowen, the talisman can be easily solved.

However, I did not rush into the mountain, but waited until the sun set and the Revenant River appeared.

It's a little different from the first time I came, but this time I'm much calmer, and I'm not afraid because of my lack of strength.

Although the River of the Revenant is still mysterious to me.

But it's a mystery, and I think I'm qualified to find out.

After a while, I came to the middle of the mountain, and the river of revenants above my head became more and more cold as the sky darkened, and the revenant souls floating on it also began to show signs of impatience towards me, but this time I didn't need to cast a golden light spell to resist, just with the Five Immortal Talisman, those revenant souls approached, and then dissipated.

As far as I can remember, I quickly found the bridge.

What surprised me a little was that when I came to this bridge again, I just glanced at it, and I still felt in a trance, and I was almost sure that as Liu Rumei said, the bridge that the Gray Family in the Immortal Gate Illusion Realm saw was indeed similar to this place.

The difference is that this bridge is even more terrifying.

After observing for a moment, I took out two Earth Immortal Swords and slowly walked towards the bridge.

As I got closer, strange sounds began to appear on the bridge, far and near, and I couldn't make out what they meant, but I could only feel that there seemed to be a hint of inexplicable emotion in them.

It was this emotion that made me feel a little bored for no reason, and even had the urge to follow the sound to the end of the bridge.

That's when I suddenly understood.

Zhang Mingyu may have encountered such a scene here at the beginning, and even he may have encountered it more terrifying than what I have encountered now.

But to my disappointment, when I insisted on reaching the middle of the bridge, I still saw nothing, and the end of the bridge was not as open as the door in the Gray Test, and at first glance it was empty except for darkness.

The facts tell me that Zhang Mingyu did not come here.

I glanced at the darkness at the end, thought about it for a while, and still didn't choose to go deeper, the main purpose of my coming here was to find Zhang Mingyu and figure out the reason for the change he had at that time, before I found Zhang Mingyu, this place was not important.

But I just turned back.

Suddenly, I saw a figure.

The figure appeared at the bridge when I came, her figure blurred, but I could be sure that it was an old woman, her body was wrapped in a layer of black mist, and with her appearance, the river of the dead soul also changed.

I finally heard the faint voice.

"Dead ......"

"What ......"

The simple four words gave me a very sad feeling, but when I heard it clearly, I felt two more lines of water stains in the corners of my eyes.

I walked towards the old woman.

But as soon as I got closer, her figure disappeared again, and I could only hear the murmur of those four words echoing in my ears, and I don't know how long later, when I came back to my senses, I had already reached the other end of the bridge, and the scene I saw before me changed from darkness to a door.

The door opened a little bit, and from time to time the ghosts walked through it.

And on the other side of the door, I saw a tomb.

It's almost the same as what I saw in the Gray Family Test.

The difference is that there are two figures standing in front of the tomb at this time.

One man, one dog.

My breath was rapid, and I rushed over without much thought, but as soon as I reached the door and was about to walk in, my body went straight through the door, as if I were not in the same place as the door.

Hallucinations?

I frowned and tried again, but I still couldn't get in.

I couldn't help shouting, "Zhang Mingyu! ”

"Tai Chi!"

My voice echoed around me, but the two figures never turned to look at me.

My heart sank all at once.

Is it really a hallucination?

I turned to look behind me.

Only then did I notice that the old woman who was supposed to be at the end of the bridge came to the end of the bridge at this time, and when I looked at her, she looked at me as well.

"Xuantian ......"

"Who are you?"

At this moment, I suddenly felt a tingling sensation on my scalp.

For so long, I have hardly felt this way anymore, because I have seen more things, encountered more things, and experienced it again and again between life and death.

But this time, the moment she called out my name, I felt as if something was going to tear my soul apart.

But in the face of my inquiry, she did not answer me, but after looking at me again, she walked towards the bridge again.

Looking at her back, I suddenly felt like I had been struck by lightning.

I immediately remembered who she was.

Fengling Village!

That ...... 'ghost' I saw for the first time!

I hurriedly chased after it, until I came to the bridge again, but her figure disappeared again, and even the entire river of revenants inexplicably regained its calm, and no more revenants came to the bridge.

I knew that there were still many secrets in Fengling Village that had not been solved, but I didn't expect that Fengling Village would be related to the Revenant River.

"Old smoker, how much have you hidden from me?"

I smiled self-deprecatingly.

At this time, the Revenant River changed again.

I looked up and saw that the entire river of revenants was surging towards the deepest part of the mountain forest as if it had suddenly found an outlet.

If I'm not mistaken.

There is also a temple there.
