"I say, we seem to have lost our way."
Lawyer An said as he threw dry branches into the fire.
Geng Chen was placed on the haystack next to him. He was holding a grilled fish in his hand and eating it slowly.
"Getting lost proves that we've found the right place."
Geng Chen put down the grilled fish in his hand and looked at Lawyer An.
He continued, "Is there any more salt?"
"No. Let me tell you, even the spider lilies oral liquid is almost empty."
Geng Chen nodded and continued to eat the fish.
Lawyer An, on the other hand, was a little impatient. He had escaped all the way from Yangzhou to the outside of the pass. He thought that he could fly as high as a bird in the sky. In the end, he listened to Geng Chen's encouragement and went straight into this deep mountain forest.
Perhaps to others, the old forest was just a forest. Only those who had truly come into contact with the old forest knew how terrifying it was.
Of course, the pure natural environment would not cause much difficulty to the two former patrolmen of the Yin Department. They did not have to worry about food and drink, but their destination was much more dangerous than ordinary people.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You should understand this logic. At a time like this, complaining and being impatient are meaningless."
"But if this goes on, I'll go crazy from depression."
Lawyer An stood up and kicked the few fish beside him that had not been dealt with. Looking at their wide eyes, Lawyer An sensed a mockery from the dead fish.
"I can't afford it. I have to calm down."
"It's easy for you to say. It's been three days since I stepped into this area. This place has an inexplicable suppression on my spiritual perception.
"I'm like a deaf person here, like a blind person. My eyes are clearly open, but I feel like I'm walking in the dark."
He had it in the past, but now he suddenly lost it. This feeling of insecurity was really torturous.
Lawyer An did not lose his spiritual power even when his strength was greatly reduced when he was deprived of his birth language and escaped from hell.
"Just get used to it, just get used to it."
Geng Chen continued to eat the fish.
His body was indeed small, but his appetite was astonishing. He was no different from an adult.
"Where's your puppet? Still no news?"
Geng Chen shook his head. "I've already made more than fifty wood puppets, but none of them have returned."
"Is she here or not?"
"It's only been three days and you've already blurred your goal?"
Geng Chen sighed helplessly. He shook his head and smiled, "I can't afford it. Your love is really short-lived."
"I just don't want to waste my time!"
"For the people I love, even if it's a waste of effort, it's still a pleasure."
"We don't have to hurt each other here, right?"
The underlying meaning was, "Don't we all know what you did to your wife and daughter?"
Gengchen stretched out his hand, grabbed a nearby branch, and continued to act as a pathfinder puppet.
"Why was she buried here?"
Lawyer an sat down again and asked.
"You're not the only one who likes her."
"The way you describe it makes me very uncomfortable."
"You haven't been chaste all these years. Why do you care so much?"
"Hey, I say, will you die if you don't mock me?"
"Haha, it's said that after she died, she was buried by a purple sash judge. Moreover, he purposely chose the place that she liked the most when she was alive, which is this place."
"Purple Sash Judge?"
Lawyer an took a processed fish from the side, inserted a branch into it, and placed it on the fire to roast. "A judge at the level of a purple sash is only one step away from opening a government office. How is it possible …"
"You can't afford it. Wasn't he a gold medal patrol inspector back then? He could still rush to the crown for a beauty."
"How can my patrol inspector compare to him?"
"It's not far off, although in terms of rank, it's different. Let me count, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue …"
Geng Chen clapped his hands, and a small puppet made of tree branches that he had just produced ran out on its own.
"I won't count anymore, but you can't ask him to not have the right to rush to the crown for a beauty just because he has a high official position, can you?"
"Then how do you know?
His official position is so high, and you're worse than him … Uh, let me count for you, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan … "
"Later on, he was sent to the sealed land and died. In order to deal with a giant demon that was about to break out of the seal, he died."
"That's a pity."
"He told me about this before. Before his soul collapsed, he told me about this place. He said that if I had the chance in the future, I could go here to see her when I was still alive. He was afraid that she would be lonely.
"Look, his love is indeed much more beautiful than yours."
"It's not like we're making a movie. Why do we need to be beautiful?"
"At least it's much better than a character like you who doesn't even know who you are, right?"
Lawyer an moved the grilled fish in front of him, checked it, and said, "Do you still want to eat?"
"Yes."
"If you don't, you'll die!"
Lawyer an threw the grilled fish to Geng Chen. He took out a cigarette and lit it. After a while, he asked,
After a while, he asked, "That purple sash was also implicated because of her?"
"He … deserves it. During the arrest, he signaled his subordinates to deliberately leave a gap, which almost caused the arrest operation to collapse.
"Later, Emperor Song was angry and issued an edict to punish him for his crimes. That was why he was demoted several steps in a row. In the end, he was sent to our dangerous and boring place."
"Serves that old man right for his nest to be hit by the moon."
Geng Chen raised his head slightly when he heard this and glanced at Lawyer an.
Lawyer an pursed his lips at him. There were some things that he had never explained to Geng Chen because it was not time yet.
At this moment..,
A puppet with more than half of its body missing ran out from the bushes in front of him.
"It's back!"
Lawyer an became excited.
The puppet staggered to Geng Chen. Geng Chen grabbed the puppet's body with his hand and gently pinched it. Then, he stood up and climbed onto Lawyer an's neck very consciously and skillfully. It was as if a son was sitting on his father's shoulder.
"Do you know the location?" Lawyer an asked.
"Got it. I'll command. You walk."
The road was actually not difficult to walk. Although there were a lot of ravines in the old forest, it was really nothing for Lawyer an and the others. However, the rhythm of walking and stopping and having to go around in circles was really unbearable.
Lawyer an almost wanted to directly ask Geng Chen if he was deliberately manipulating him for fun or if there were really so many profound array formations, but after thinking about it, he held back.
It was his fault that he was not proficient in array formations. He could still tell a little bit about ordinary array formations based on his experience, but if it was a little more profound, he was really about the same as his boss.
Finally..,
After jumping over the stream in front of them..,
Lawyer an smelled the fragrance of flowers..,
When he walked over from the other side of the stream, he did not smell anything at all.
"I found it. The place where the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. That Purple Ribbon said that she liked cherry blossoms the most, so he specially planted a sea of cherry blossoms at the place where she was buried."
"I still think lilacs rhyme better."
"There are no more array formations blocking the way ahead. You can rest assured."
"It's finally over. Is that Purple Ribbon also on the path of array formations? He was able to make such a big scene by burying a person in the world of the living."
"An existence at that level is already at the peak of the judge. Any higher and they will be on equal footing with the Ten Yama Kings. To be honest, their level of strength is no longer something that people at our level can spy on and understand."
"Heh, be smug. It's not like I haven't seen someone even more awesome."
The Master of the Netherworld Sea and I sit face to face and drink coffee every day,
The Lord of Mount Tai Prefect goes out with me to the hair salon every now and then,
Did I brag?
Did I brag?
Was I proud?
Knowing a Purple Ribbon Judge, look at how awesome you are.
Lawyer an put Geng Chen down,
He put his hands on his waist,
Huff huff..
Rest for a while,
Rest for a while
Lawyer an pursed his lips and pushed aside the bushes in front of him. Suddenly, a sinister feeling descended. Lawyer an quickly retreated, but his body was still sent flying as if he had been whipped.
"Plop!"
He fell into the stream.
"F * ck …"
Lawyer an crawled out of the stream. A bloody wound appeared on his chest.
"Didn't you say that there are no restrictions here?" Lawyer an asked unhappily.
"I don't think so, but I don't know why..."
Geng Chen wasn't very sure either.
After spending about fifteen minutes, Lawyer an bandaged the wound. Fortunately, he had reacted quickly and was only grazed a little. If he had reacted a little slower, his body would have been cut in half at the waist.
"Be careful," Geng Chen said.
"Hehe." Lawyer an glared at Geng Chen in annoyance.
Next..,
As they moved forward in the Cherry Blossom Valley, the two of them were extremely careful. They passed through several more restrictions, but they were all discovered by Geng Chen in advance and avoided them.
Finally..,
The two of them arrived at the deepest part of the Cherry Blossom Valley,
They arrived at the edge of the cold pool.
"She's at the bottom of the cold pool. I don't know if she has a physical body or if she only has a cenotaph. It might even be a tablet."
"It's useless to say this now. Even if there's only one ID card left at the bottom of the cold pool, I have to go down and take a look."
"Don't move!"
"What's Wrong?"
"There seems to be someone in the middle of the pool."
"Where?
Hiss... There's really someone. That person has stood up. "
"He seems to have discovered us."
"Yeah, he's so excited. The pool is boiling. F * ck, this aura is too terrifying. When did the Northeast Immortal become so valiant?"
"It's demonic aura, but it doesn't seem like it's the Great Immortal. This demonic aura is too shocking."
"Did we disturb him?"
"Maybe. He seems to be in pain."
"Listen, he seems to be talking. What is he saying?"
"It seems to be saying... it's saying..,
Hitting someone..,
Hitting someone!
Damn it..,
He's really disturbed by us. He's going to hit someone! "
