Shen Luo's voice fell, and the outside once again fell into silence.
"If I remember correctly, the Celestial Court was the first to fall, and then the Demons attacked the Underworld, right?" Shen Luo broke the silence and asked.
"That's right," Zhong Kui replied.
"If that's the case, the Underworld should have been prepared. Why did it lose so quickly back then?" Shen Luo continued to ask.
After a long time, Zhong Kui's voice was heard.
"Back then … Back then, there was something strange. Logically speaking, with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's arrangements, even if we couldn't resist the Demons in the end, we shouldn't have lost so quickly and so miserably. So much so that many years later, people criticized us, saying that we were the ones who surrendered and didn't resist at all. "
Hearing this, Shen Luo didn't say anything else. His gaze slowly fell on the Dragon Binding Ring in his hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhong Kui was outside. Seeing that Shen Luo didn't say anything else, he didn't say anything either.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Luo suddenly heard a strange sound coming from outside. Immediately after, he heard Zhong Kui suddenly shout.
"Who's there?"
However, just as his voice rose, his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He immediately let out a whimper, but that sound quickly disappeared.
"Who's outside?" Shen Luo immediately realized and shouted.
"It's me." A somewhat hoarse voice came from outside.
"Rainbow Pearl?" Shen Luo was somewhat surprised.
"This Golden Ni is Huang Mei's Master's treasure. At most, I can open it up a little. Are you sure you can come out?" Nie Caizhu asked.
"Why are you here?" Shen Luo hurriedly asked.
"Let's not talk about this first. Let me save you first." Nie Caizhu said anxiously.
"Okay." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Nie Caizhu glanced at the unconscious Zhong Kui with a complicated expression. She held an exquisite white jade bottle in her hand, pinched a willow branch inserted into the bottle with two fingers, and began to chant silently.
A moment later, she pinched the willow branch, suddenly pulled out the Purifying Vase, and pointed it at the golden stalk.
A drop of sparkling and translucent liquid dripped down from the tip of the willow branch and flew into the gap between the top and bottom of the Golden Centipede.
In the instant that the drop of water entered the gap, the originally seamless Golden Centipede began to tremble rapidly, and a golden light began to flicker on its surface.
Upon seeing this, Nie Caizhu's expression became tense. She made a one-handed gesture and the spiritual power in her body surged out crazily, almost without reservation, converging into the drop of crystal clear liquid.
Under the continuous infusion of her spiritual power, the drop of water began to emit a snow-white light, and began to expand like a bubble. With great difficulty, it opened up a nearly invisible gap between the two pieces of the Golden Centipede.
After a moment, the light on the Golden Centipede soared, and the bloated drop of water shattered with a "bang", and the two pieces of the Golden Centipede closed up again.
Nie Caizhu's eyes flashed with a touch of despair. The spiritual power in her body was depleted, and she was about to collapse.
At this time, a broad shoulder suddenly appeared behind her, supporting her.
"Cousin …" Nie Caizhu turned around and saw that it was Shen Luo, and was overjoyed at the unexpected good news.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the Yin Ghost Stream first." Shen Luo's hands were still bound by the Dragon Binding Ring, and he said softly.
"I'll lead the way." Nie Caizhu nodded, and her spirits rose again.
Under her guidance, the two quickly and quietly escaped from the altar, and headed in the direction of the Hell Labyrinth.
At the same time, in a dilapidated building not far from here, Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, and said with a frown, "It seems that he has taken the bait."
After he finished speaking, he transformed into another body and disappeared from where he stood in the blink of an eye.
…
On the other side, Shen Luo and the other hurriedly fled to the entrance of the Evil Yin Valley, but Nie Caizhu suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shen Luo saw this, and quickly asked.
"Cousin, are you really not a traitor?" Nie Caizhu stared at Shen Luo's eyes, and asked seriously.
"No." Shen Luo's eyes did not evade, and firmly shook his head.
"Then I'm relieved, you can go, I'll send you here." Nie Caizhu said with a sigh of relief.
"You're not going with me?" Shen Luo was surprised.
"You have the trust of others, and I also have the order of my master. I can't bear to see you die in vain, but I can't give up my duty, so I can't go with you." Nie Caizhu bit her lip and said.
"I …"
Shen Luo was speechless for a moment, and did not know what to say.
"Cousin, what you said about time travel, is it true?" Nie Caizhu asked again.
"It's true." Shen Luo nodded.
"If you can really go back a thousand years, I hope you can either change the Devil Calamity that happened a thousand years ago, and save this terrible future, or … I hope you can stay by my side, I don't want to be so lonely anymore." Nie Caizhu said slowly with a complicated smile.
"I promise you." Shen Luo frowned for a long time, and then nodded heavily.
Nie Caizhu got the answer, and the smile on her face finally relaxed a little. She did not say anything, and just waved at Shen Luo, then turned and walked back.
Shen Luo looked at her somewhat desolate back and felt a little guilty in his heart.
But, after looking for a while, he also turned and walked towards the iron chain bridge.
Shen Luo just crossed the bridge and came to the opposite side, in front of the black bamboo forest, a figure slowly walked out, as if waiting for him.
"Shen Daoyou, where are you going?" The person asked with a smile.
"Huang Mei fellow …" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and called out.
"Looking at your reaction, you don't seem surprised, why? You knew I would stop you? "Huang Mei saw Shen Luo's reaction, and frowned slightly, and asked.
"After all, the Golden Ni is your magic treasure, how could you not know that something happened here? Look at Zhen Yuan Daisen's Dragon Binding Ring, I didn't dare to touch it, for fear of alarming him. But I'm still a little surprised, how did you get here so quickly? "Shen Luo smiled.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. Since I've already stopped you, don't make any more pointless struggles. Hand over the Heavenly Book, and I can't guarantee the others, but I can let you live." Huang Mei said.
"I thought you would ask me to obediently go back with you." Shen Luo was puzzled.
"If I asked you to go back with me, wouldn't that be forcing you to die? Why would you agree? In short, I don't care if you're a spy from the Demons, it doesn't matter to me, as long as you hand over the Heavenly Book and don't hinder us from setting things right and restoring the Heavenly Dao. As for Jilei Mountain and Wu Zhuang Guan … that's a personal grudge between you and them. "Huang Mei said calmly.
"That's easy to say, but why should I believe you?" Shen Luo smiled.
"Monks don't lie, hand over the Heavenly Book, and I can let you go." Huang Mei raised his hand and said.
"Hehe, hand over the Heavenly Book … I don't think it's necessary. At this point, there's no need to continue pretending. I have indeed joined the Demons, and I wanted to make a contribution, but unfortunately, you saw through me the moment I arrived. Right now, Lord Jiuming has already split into two groups, attacking me from the 18 levels of hell and this labyrinth. "Shen Luo's expression was relaxed, and he laughed loudly.
When Huang Mei heard this, he frowned slightly, not daring to believe that Shen Luo's words were true.
