Of course, He Yi had never seen one before. Or rather, even if he had, he would not have cared about such an ordinary black dog. However, when he saw the black dog, he was still slightly shocked. He was curious as to why a dog would appear in such a shadowy place where all living creatures and creatures avoided it. He was also surprised at the mutilations and scars on the black dog's body.
This was a dog that had clearly been severely injured. Not only was it covered in scars, its one eye and half a tail made it even uglier and more frightening. He Yi was also a normal person. When he first saw the black dog, he frowned and his eyes were filled with disgust.
However, very soon, He Yi's gaze changed slightly and his expression softened. This change was not because he had suddenly become kind and compassionate, but because he had suddenly thought of his younger brother, He Gang.
Because he had been surrounded by a pack of black jackals in the Disorientated Lands, He Gang had been severely injured and disfigured. Now, after a series of twists and turns, he did not look like a human or a ghost. As his older brother, his heart ached for him. For some reason, when he saw this black dog, he suddenly thought of He Gang and felt an inexplicable sense of compassion.
So, he did not immediately chase the black dog away. Instead, he stood and watched for a while before walking over.
The black dog looked at his figure in silence and did not move. It did not retreat, nor did it hide. There was a strange light flowing in its single eye as it stared at He Yi's figure.
He Yi walked to the door and glanced at the black dog, then looked outside the door to confirm that there was no one outside. It seemed that no one had deliberately brought this dog here.
However, this made it even more strange. After staying in the righteous grave for several days, He Yi had long noticed that the Yin Qi in this place was extremely strong. It was the enemy of almost all living creatures. In this righteous grave, there was not even a mouse or a cockroach, let alone wild beasts or birds.
Could it be that because this dog was black, it was not afraid of this pitch-black righteous grave?
This ridiculous thought flashed through He Yi's mind. Even he himself felt bored, but he still had a good impression of this black dog. He waved his hand at the black dog and said, "This is not a place for you. Leave quickly." As he spoke, he made a gesture to drive it away.
The black dog took two steps back. Although it was still staring at He Yi, perhaps because He Yi did not show too much hostility before, and even had a little bit of gentleness to it, the black dog did not react too aggressively to He Yi.
It glanced at the courtyard of the righteous grave and seemed a little hesitant. The darkness and the strange atmosphere inside made it very uncomfortable and it did not want to go in.
So, after a moment of hesitation, the black dog retreated more than ten feet away and found a large tree to lie down, as if it was waiting for something.
He Yi glanced over there and shook his head. He was too lazy to care about it. He couldn't even take care of the person, so who would have the time to care about the dog?
…
He Yi turned and walked into the depths of the courtyard. The door to the room where Sumo and Lu Chen, who had just arrived yesterday, was still locked. In the darkness on the other side, the corpse walked out of the shadows like a ghost.
He Yi nodded at him and looked at the tightly shut door again. There was a hint of worry on his face as he asked the corpse, "Senior, will they be alright?"
The corpse's face was haggard and his expression seemed to always be as rigid as ever. After hearing He Yi's question, he only replied faintly, "They won't die."
He Yi shook his head and seemed to smile bitterly. He then sighed and asked, "Did you find anything?"
The corpse replied, "Under the influence of the mind-manipulating spell, their souls were agitated and injured, causing them to fall into a terrifying illusion. Their words are definitely true, so it shouldn't be them."
He Yi was silent. Seeing that the corpse ignored him, he casually waved in the direction of the door. A cold wind suddenly rose and swept across the courtyard. The door on the other side suddenly opened with a squeak.
He Yi frowned and walked into the room. After a while, he dragged two people out, one in each hand, and placed them on the ground.
The two people were, of course, Sumo and Lu Chen. Between the two, Lu Chen's face was ashen and his eyes were lifeless. He sat on the ground with a blank gaze, unable to even focus on He Yi and the corpse. Occasionally, he would mutter a few words in a low voice, but it was unclear what he was saying.
As for Sumo, his condition was even worse than Lu Chen. Probably because he had stayed here for a longer period of time. His entire person looked like an idiot, drooling and his eyes slanted. He looked completely different from that young master from before.
He Yi took a glance at Lu Chen and then most of his attention was still on Sumo. After watching for a long while, he suddenly stood up and said to the corpse, "Senior, this time many thanks for your help. But I think this matter should end here. As for how to track the Evil Sect's evil people, I will think of a way myself? "
The corpse's expression did not change. He only glanced at him and coldly said, "I owe you a little favor, that's why I helped you. Since you don't need it, naturally I won't care anymore. "
He Yi sighed and said, "The main thing is that senior's' mind-manipulating spell 'is really too overbearing. I'm afraid if this goes on, these two people's minds will be completely destroyed. That odd-job disciple doesn't matter, but Sumo is after all a person with a family background. It's not good to mess around. "
"As you wish. But remember, after this time, don't come and bother me again." The corpse said indifferently, then he turned around and walked into the depths of the courtyard. Before he left, his ghost-claw-like palm waved at Sumo and Lu Chen. A few rays of grey light floated up from their bodies and followed him into the darkness.
Sumo and Lu Chen's bodies suddenly shook. A moment later, their heads tilted and they both fainted on the ground.
He Yi walked over to take their pulse. He felt that these two people's pulse had gradually calmed down. He nodded his head in relief.
After all, the Kunlun Party was a place with rules. It did not allow him to act recklessly. If he really wrongly accused a good person and killed someone, even his master and the sect leader might not be able to protect him.
After the mind-manipulating spell was lifted, between Sumo and Lu Chen, Lu Chen did not seem to have changed much. On the other hand, Sumo's complexion was much better. At least the idiotic look of her crooked mouth and slanted eyes was gone. Her facial expression gradually returned to normal, but she still did not look too good.
After about an hour, He Yi suddenly heard a call from the entrance of the martyr's tomb. "Senior Brother He!"
He turned around and saw Su Qingjun standing at the doorstep with a solemn expression. She was looking in his direction. Then, her gaze fell on the two people lying on the ground. She immediately looked surprised and worried.
He Yi cupped his hands at her and said, "Good morning, Junior Sister Su."
Su Qingjun walked over slowly. She seemed to still be suppressing her emotions to keep calm. She said, "What happened to them?"
He Yi said, "They were just released to get some fresh air."
Su Qingjun's expression turned cold. She said, "What did you do to them?"
He Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't do anything. But I have already asked what I needed to ask. The two of them should have nothing to do with He Changsheng's death. So when they wake up later, you can take them back."
Su Qingjun was startled. Then, her face revealed a happy expression. At this moment, there was a sudden groan from the ground. Lu Chen was the first to wake up. Not long after, Sumo also woke up.
He looked around blankly. His eyes were still a little scattered. After a while, he seemed to suddenly find Su Qingjun. His expression suddenly changed. He rushed over and hugged Su Qingjun. He shouted, "Sister, sister …"
Su Qingjun showed a pained expression. She reached out and patted his back to comfort him. At the same time, she looked at Lu Chen. She found that although Lu Chen's expression was a little strange, he could still control himself. He stood up shakily.
Their eyes met. Lu Chen grinned, indicating that he was fine.
Su Qingjun took a deep breath. She looked at He Yi and said coldly, "Senior Brother He, since you are fine, can we go?"
He Yi nodded and said, "Forgive me for not seeing you off."
Su Qingjun supported Sumo. Lu Chen also looked a little weak, but he still walked alone. When they walked out of the gate of the martyr's grave, a black shadow suddenly walked out from a corner in front of them.
The Black Dog stood quietly on the side of the road. It did not look at Su Qingjun and Sumo. It only looked at Lu Chen.
Then, it gently wagged its tail and walked towards Lu Chen.
When Lu Chen saw Atsu, his expression changed slightly. He then glanced at Su Qingjun. Su Qingjun shook her head and said, "I didn't bring it here. I don't know how Atsu came here by itself."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen nodded and said, "I know. You can go first. I'll go back to the Flying Goose Terrace later."
Su Qingjun hesitated for a moment. But Sumo's situation was indeed worse. She also had to send him back to the Su family in Kunwu City as soon as possible, so she couldn't care about Lu Chen now. So, in the end, she softly said, "I'll take Sumo back. After I settle him down, I'll come back to see you as soon as possible."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I'm fine. Don't worry."
Su Qingjun responded and supported Sumo as they left. In the martyr's grave, the aura of darkness seemed to be everywhere, lingering around him and Atsu.
Lu Chen squatted in front of Atsu and looked at Atsu.
Atsu's only eye was also looking at him.
He didn't know why, but he felt that the light in Atsu's eyes was somewhat different from before. But he didn't care. He just smiled and stroked Atsu's head, saying, "You've become smarter, stupid dog."
Atsu silently shook its head. Lu Chen stood up and said to it, "Let's go home."
The man and the dog walked outside. Just as they were about to walk out of the darkness, an anxious figure suddenly ran over from a distance. His face was filled with anger and anxiety. He rushed past them and ran into the depths of the darkness.
Lu Chen's footsteps paused, and he turned around to look at that person's back. Then, he expressionlessly turned around and continued to walk out, stepping into the warm light.
