"Shi'an, I'm afraid we can't cross this bridge." Old man Xuanji looked solemn.
"Why, Master?" Mu Li asked in confusion.
"If my guess is correct, this stone bridge is most likely the Naihe Bridge."
"Naihe Bridge? The Naihe Bridge that leads to the underworld?"
"How could this be? How could there be a Naihe Bridge in our forbidden area?"
Everyone was shocked and retreated together. Mu Feng was also shocked and pulled Mu Li back quickly.
"But, Master, Lingling said there's no danger."
"Girl, if this is the Naihe Bridge, then we can't leave. Humans can't walk the Yellow Springs Road, nor can they cross the Naihe Bridge. Only by becoming a soul can one cross the Naihe Bridge. And legend has it that there is a Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge. Anyone who crosses the bridge must drink Meng Po soup. After drinking Meng Po soup, they will forget their past and be reincarnated."
Just when everyone was hesitating, Taotie suddenly appeared and said, "Let her go. Only she can go."
"What?"
"Why?" Everyone was shocked. If they didn't know that Taotie was Mu Li's contracted beast and would not harm Mu Li, they would have suspected that Taotie had ill intentions.
"Mu Li, go to the bridge, believe me!" Taotie said seriously.
"Master, go ahead. It's okay. Lingling will be with you." The Nine Ghost Butterfly also promised.
"Master, I believe in them. I want to go up and give it a try." Mu Li said as he walked towards the stone bridge.
"Girl!"
"younger sister!"
"Junior Sister!"
Everyone stopped him.
"Don't worry, Dahei and Lingling will be with me." Mu Li gave everyone a reassuring smile, turned around and stepped onto the stone bridge.
At that moment, the red spider lilies on the shore suddenly emitted an intense light. Countless bright red flowers burst forth from the ground, tightly enveloping Mu Li, forming a massive bud. The light, along with the stone bridge, vanished, leaving only a group of worried people standing there.
"What's going on? Where is Li'er?" Mu Feng asked anxiously.
"Don't worry. What happened just now must have triggered some kind of formation or restriction," Elder Xuanji consoled him. "Given Li'er's special physique, her life shouldn't be in danger."
"But, is that bridge really the Naihe Bridge? Why did he suddenly take Li'er away?" Mu Feng still couldn't let it go.
"Everything is destined. Perhaps this is Li'er's destiny." Elder Xuanji looked into the distance with a deep gaze. "We can only wait here and believe that she will return safely."
At the same time, Mo Xi, who was strolling in Kunlun Mountain, seemed to sense something. He hurriedly told Mo Chuan and Long Yi to take care of his body and then fell into a deep sleep...
"What's wrong with the Palace Master?" Mo Chuan asked hurriedly.
"He has fallen into a deep sleep. His Highness has been like this since he was a child. He falls asleep from time to time. We just need to protect his body and wait for him to wake up." Long Yi explained.
"But hasn't he fallen into a deep sleep in the past three years? Why is it so sudden this time?" Mo Chuan was a little worried.
"Three years ago, Princess Showa was born, and the Crown Prince hasn't had this situation since then. He suddenly fell into a deep sleep today. I'm afraid something happened to Princess Showa." Long Yi said with a serious expression.
"Let's go find them." Mo Chuan picked up Mo Xi and took Long Yi with him. After determining the location of Old Man Xuanji, he threw a directional teleportation talisman and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.
"Why are you here? What happened to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Mu Feng asked anxiously, looking at the unconscious Crown Prince.
"We don't know what happened. We were just strolling on the mountain when the prince suddenly fell into a coma!" Mo Chuan said worriedly.
Elder Xuanji took the prince's pulse and said, "The pulse is weak, the cause is unknown, but there is nothing else wrong."
"My sister suddenly disappeared, and the prince suddenly fell into a coma. Master, this matter must be told to the emperor and the queen as soon as possible." Mu Feng said anxiously.
"Don't be anxious, let me calculate it first." Old man Xuanji comforted.
Then old man Xuanji took out the tortoise shell and copper coins passed down from his ancestors and said, "Last time I told the fortune about Li'er, I suffered a backlash. This time, let's tell the fortune about Mu Feng. After all, they are related by blood, so it will be more accurate." After saying that, old man Xuanji began to tell the fortune seriously.
After a while, the hexagram showed great luck, and Old Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief, "Great luck, they will be fine, don't worry, we will just wait in peace.
"Yes..." Everyone felt relieved and found a place to practice.
