Sangsang was right. In the past, when they were on the road, it was always up to Ning Que to decide where to go. She never raised any opinions or objections. In Ning Que's words, she was not stupid. She was just too lazy to think about such trivial things. She was used to letting him think about it.
Ning Que was silent. He walked past her and came to the front. It was only a few steps, but his breathing became rapid and his face turned pale.
He had been tortured countless times these days. His arms were cut off and his blood flowed endlessly. If Sangsang was not by his side, he would have died many times. Although he was alive and there were no scars on the surface of his body, the new flesh and blood had not completely merged with his mind. When he fell from the sky to the ground, those invisible injuries had all broken out. Every step he took, he felt that his soul was shaken, and the pain was unbearable.
Sangsang felt his pain, but her expression was still indifferent.
Ning Que stood among the decaying leaves and rested for a while. He found a slightly tough tree and walked deep into the fog with his tired body and pain.
The abyss under the precipice at the back of the Peach Mountain was covered by clouds all year round. There was no way to the outside world. Just like the abyss under the back of the mountain of the Academy, it had been isolated for countless years. No one knew what kind of life lived in it and what kind of dangers were hidden there.
At this time, the two people walking in the fog were not worried at all. Because no matter how terrible the danger was, it could not hurt Haotian. The only thing that could hurt them was each other.
Sangsang looked at Ning Que's back, expressionless and silent.
She could easily restrain him, reseal his Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi, and then bring him back to the West-Hill Divine Palace at the top of the Peach Mountain. He would continue to be a slave and never be freed.
But Ning Que had shown her his determination to die by jumping off the cliff. Then it would be meaningless to bring him back to the West-Hill Divine Palace. Besides, she had her own ideas.
Since she had made up her mind, Sangsang put her hands behind her back and followed Ning Que casually in the thick fog. She looked at those strange vines with great interest.
Ning Que was a little tired from walking, so he sat on a stone to rest. He looked at Sangsang who seemed to be very relaxed in the fog and said, "I know you look down on my methods, but I have no choice. Compared to you, I'm too weak. I don't have to cry, throw a tantrum, and threaten to hang myself to get you out of Peach Mountain. In fact, these methods should be used by you. Since you don't want to use them, I have to."
Sangsang ignored him and walked to the depths of the black vines. She opened her eyes wide and looked up curiously. Seeing her expression, Ning Que was a little surprised, and then a little hopeful.
After a while, Ning Que regained some strength and stood up with the support of a branch. He walked to the black vines in the fog and shouted, "It's time to go."
Sangsang walked out of the vines with no expression on her face. It seemed that she didn't find anything interesting. But Ning Que noticed that there were some light red water stains on the corner of her lips. Then he saw that she was holding seven or eight bright red fruits in her hands behind her back. He thought that the fruits must taste good.
Ning Que didn't say anything and kept walking forward. The fog in the abyss became thicker and thicker. He and Sangsang couldn't see each other's faces clearly even though they were a few steps apart. The scenery in the fog naturally became more and more blurred. They could only vaguely see the shadows of the vines and occasionally hear some strange sounds.
Sangsang, who left the Divine Hall of Light and came to the abyss, was obviously different. She wanted to explore the environment around her, and she wanted to taste the fruits. She began to be instinctively curious about the unknown like human beings. Of course, she would never be afraid of the unknown like human beings.
Because of her growing curiosity and the lack of fear, the abyss full of fog was undoubtedly a very interesting environment for Sangsang. She left Ning Que from time to time and disappeared into the fog. No one knew where she went or what kind of scenery she saw, and then she quietly returned to Ning Que's side.
In the beginning, Ning Que didn't even know that she had left. When he found out that she was playing this game of disappearing, he instinctively began to worry, and then found that his worry was a little unreasonable.
In Haotian's world, who could hurt Haotian? He didn't worry that she would get lost. No matter how thick the fog around her was, no matter how dim the light was, as long as he thought about it, he would know where she had gone, and he knew that she would definitely come back. As long as she was there, he didn't need to worry about himself.
The abyss was dark all year round. The fog contained the resentment of countless prisoners in the You Prison on the precipice, as well as the naturally accumulated toxins. The combination of the two was extremely terrifying. After Ning Que cultivated the Great Spirit, his body had a natural resistance to toxins. After walking in the fog for a long time, he still felt a little dizzy. At this moment, Sangsang returned to his back. A breeze blew past, and he suddenly felt refreshed, as if he was immune to all poisons.
The real danger in the abyss was not the poisonous fog, but the creatures living in it. Living in such a dangerous environment until now, these creatures had extremely strong vitality and unimaginably fatal means. Ning Que released his Psyche Power into the fog, and found that whether it was the old wet vines, the snakes and beasts hidden among them, or even the rotten leaves on the ground, there were all hidden lives. He couldn't help but feel a little numb.
Walking in the fog, he and Sangsang had already encountered several strange creatures, most of which were snakes. One of them was covered with mucus, and its eyes had obviously degenerated. It relied entirely on the emerald green snake tongue to find the direction. More snakes were colorful, and even in the thick fog, they were still so eye-catching.
The most terrifying thing was the swaying sound from the withered vines and the surrounding trees, and the howling that sounded like ghosts crying. Ning Que knew that there were animals jumping in the forest, but even with his eyesight, he couldn't see their true faces clearly. He could only judge that the animals were extremely fast by the sound. Then what was hidden densely under the rotten leaves? Why did it make him so vigilant and even afraid?
Sangsang didn't feel afraid. Listening to the unpleasant howling coming from the fog and the rustling sound coming from the rotten leaves under her feet, she felt a little annoyed and waved her sleeves.
As she waved her green sleeves, flowers bloomed, and countless fireflies flew out of the petals. Those fireflies flew into the depths of the fog and burned, turning into countless light spots, and finally converging into a bright light.
The light appeared in the abyss, and no matter how thick the fog was, it could not be covered. With the burning sound, the fog around them dispersed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scenery suddenly became clear.
The ground was covered with countless layers of rotten leaves, and the roots of the trees were covered with moss and strange mushrooms. The vines hanging on the branches were crooked and shapeless, like the binding plums in the house by the Yanming Lake.
From the depths of the forest came the horrified howling of the beasts, and the rustling sound from the rotten leaves became more and more frequent. The colorful snakes angrily raised their heads, and Ning Que's expression became extremely serious.
But before he could do anything, the horrified howling stopped abruptly, and the rustling sound under the rotten leaves disappeared without a trace. The snakes even lay down on the wet ground as fast as they could.
Sangsang walked into the depths of the fog without waiting for Ning Que to lead the way. As she walked, the light quickly spread around and quickly cleared all the fog within a few miles. The abyss, which had not seen the sun for countless years, suddenly became clear. If the situation continued like this, it wouldn't take long for Sangsang's light to disperse all the fog and expose the abyss to the blue sky.
The blue sky was very familiar to the creatures outside the abyss, but it was so strange to the creatures living in the abyss for generations. They looked at the porcelain blue sky and kept screaming in horror.
The light continued to spread, and countless green ants crawled out from under the rotten leaves. They kept rubbing their forelimbs toward Sangsang's footprints to show their fear and submission. The colorful poisonous snakes crawled all over the mountain streams, desperately twisting their sticky bodies, as if they wanted to descend to the deepest part of the swamp. The beasts hiding in the fog forest finally showed their true faces. Hundreds of ghost-faced monkeys left the vine trees and knelt on the wet ground, constantly kowtowing.
Looking at this scene, Ning Que slightly frowned and felt a little uncomfortable. Sangsang did not have any reaction, as if she saw nothing. She walked through these frightened creatures with her hands behind her back, not like a monarch who was inspecting her territory, because she did not treat these lowly creatures as her subordinates.
This abyss full of fog and poison was like a natural moat for human beings. Even a powerhouse in the Knowing Destiny State would find it difficult to walk out of the abyss. But for Sangsang, this abyss was not even a small ditch. She strolled out of the miasma and saw the mountains.
Looking at the mountains, Ning Que did not know what to say. Dark clouds quietly covered the blue sky again, and the mountains were shrouded in wind and snow. A simple Taoist temple could be faintly seen in the snow.
Was that the Taoist temple the legendary Zhishou Abbey?
If it was in the past, Ning Que would definitely be very interested in that simple Taoist temple, not because it was an Unknown Place, but because it hid six of the seven Tomes of Arcane. However, Sangsang, who wrote the seven Tomes of Arcane, was now beside him, so his interest in the Taoist temple naturally faded.
…
…
Someone had walked out of this abyss before.
The Taoist temple in the wind and snow did not look shabby, but it was so quiet that it was intoxicating.
Long Qing sat cross-legged by the lake, quietly looking at the "Open" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane in his hand. He did not know how long he had been sitting in the snow, and the snow on his eyelashes had already condensed into frost.
Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the bottom of the cliff. Thinking of the painful days in the abyss, his face instantly became extremely pale, and the snow on his eyelashes turned into ash and disappeared.
The middle-aged Taoist pushed the wheelchair to the lakeside. The Abbey Dean sat in the wheelchair and looked at the sky in the wind and snow. He looked at someone in the abyss and let out a low sigh.

(I said in the middle of the month that I don't want a monthly ticket, so I haven't asked for one. No matter how itchy I am, I have to grit my teeth and bear it. The Third Young Master teased me in the single chapter, so I have to bear it. Boohoo … I know those who have voted for the General Night Monthly Ticket will feel a little … I'm sorry to you. Before I end the book, I will definitely fight for it, for myself and for everyone. Most of this chapter was written at the airport, so there may be some problems with the quality. I will go home tomorrow, and then I will fix it.) (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it and vote for it. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
