An hour later.
Snap...
The black bridge made a slight sound and was close to the edge of breaking. The monk named Gong searched hard but found nothing.
"senior……"
She muttered to herself, withdrew her gaze in disappointment, walked quickly across the bridge, opened the black line door at the end and left.
Xiang Sheng was still sleeping, and the remaining spirit would only warn her when she was in life-or-death crisis. She knew nothing about what this monk named Gong had done.
However, the void underwent some changes because the black bridge stayed there for too long.
Cracks began to appear frequently in the spatial barrier on one side of the black door at the end, but each time they lasted for a very short time and the diameter was too narrow for people to pass through.
At the same time, somewhere under a cliff waterfall.
The young man was dark and thin. He squatted by the river, staring at the waterfall with a pair of light brown eyes. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot. It was unknown how long he had been squatting there.
Suddenly, a section of the waterfall disappeared, and a black crack appeared in the snow-white water.
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and without saying a word he ran towards the village behind him, shouting as he ran.
"Grandpa Priest, a rift has appeared!"
"Grandpa Priest!"
“…”
The quiet and peaceful village immediately became restless with the boy's clear shout.
Not long after, an old man came to the river panting, followed by dozens of men, women, young and old. Without exception, they were pale and thin, and looked lifeless.
But their eyes, looking towards the crack of the waterfall, were exceptionally bright and full of hope.
The old man standing in the front was wearing a strange white suit, and was obviously the sacrificial grandfather mentioned by the young man.
His weathered eyes reflected the long crack across the white waterfall, and he said nothing.
Thirty breaths later, the space rift disappeared and the waterfall returned to normal.
The dark and thin young man couldn't help but turn his head to look at the priest. The latter still didn't speak, so he could only continue to wait patiently.
An hour later, another long crack appeared on the upper left side of the waterfall, and its diameter was larger than the previous one.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face, and said, "The frequent and ever-expanding cracks are indeed caused by the Sky Bridge Talisman."
When these words were spoken, everyone was overjoyed and cheers echoed throughout the mountains.
"The high priest really came back alive?"
"Very good!"
"We have a way to survive!"
"The youngest child of the Erzhu family is saved."
Everyone was laughing. The dark and thin young man looked at the eternal space crack, but there was a glint in his eyes.
"elder sister."
He bit his lips, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.
Legend has it that every high priest who took this path risked their lives, so my sister must have suffered a lot...
"Long-lived brother." The old priest suddenly called out.
The dark and thin young man immediately raised his hand to wipe away his tears and walked to the front, "Grandpa Priest, I'm here."
Seeing his red eyes, the old priest didn't reveal the truth. Instead, he smiled and said, "The exit opened by the Sky Bridge Talisman won't be too far from the village. Your sister will be back in three days at most. Don't worry."
"Yeah!" The thin and dark boy nodded heavily.
"The rift near the waterfall will continue to expand and will not disappear until seven days later."
The old priest looked at the villagers behind him:
"Fill your water jars as quickly as possible within the next two days, and don't go near the river again, or you might get caught in a rip and lose your life."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then dispersed happily.
The dark and thin young man returned home and first checked the several strips of bacon hanging behind the house. Then he opened the pottery jar with great interest and counted the dozens of eggs and two kilograms of rice that were left.
Imagining his sister's surprised expression when she came home and saw all this, he couldn't help but let out a low laugh.
With a smile on his face, he cooked himself a bowl of brown rice porridge, drank it with wild vegetable soup, and fell into a deep sleep.
Soon, three days passed.
The joyous village was once again shrouded in a cloud of darkness.
The dark and thin young man sat at the entrance of the village in a daze, the smile on his face had long disappeared.
Sister, why didn’t you come back?
The old priest passed by and saw the dark and thin young man sitting at the village entrance again. He couldn't help but sigh and walked over to pat the young man's shoulder gently:
"Don't worry, maybe the transmission distance is wrong. Your sister might be back tomorrow."
A glimmer flashed in the dark and thin boy's eyes: "Really?"
The old priest saw the hope in his eyes and couldn't help shaking his head, but he didn't dare to nod either.
The next evening.
The dark and thin young man looked at the deserted village entrance with a completely dim look in his eyes.
"No."
"Sister must have been delayed by something."
"Just wait two more days..."
He muttered to himself, stood up, and walked back in a daze. In a trance, he actually took the wrong road and walked towards the waterfall again.
By the time he came to his senses, he had already reached the river.
When I looked up, I saw a space crack as high as two doors.
There was a crack across the cliff, and the upstream waterfall was completely submerged in it, and the flow had stopped.
"Sister, is she still inside..."
The dark and thin young man suddenly had this thought, his eyes dark.
Knowing that the rift was extremely dangerous, he still stepped into the river and swam towards the rift.
He had just swam to the bottom of the cliff and was about to climb up when he suddenly saw a white streak falling from above, splashing a large amount of water.
The dark-skinned young man was so shocked that his face was covered with water. He stared blankly at the white film sinking into the water for a moment, and suddenly began to tremble all over.
"elder sister?!"
His face showed excitement, and he immediately took a deep breath and dived into the water to retrieve the sinking figure.
However, no matter how hard he pulled the man's sleeve, he could not move the figure in the water at all.
"It's so heavy! How can it be so heavy?"
The young man gritted his teeth, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The old people in the village all said that only dead people would become particularly heavy in water...
"No!"
The young man's heart trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and he tore open the talisman on his chest. The power in his body instantly increased several times.
With this strength, he was finally able to drag the white figure and hold his breath all the way to the shore.
However, when he saw the face of the man in white clearly in the moonlight, he was immediately disappointed.
It's a girl, but not my sister.
He clenched the talisman in his hand and knelt beside the woman in white in a daze, staring blankly into the void with his eyes, as if he had become a piece of wood.
I don’t know how long it took, but a light breeze blew.
The night wind was cold, and the dark and thin boy shivered and regained consciousness.
He looked at the profile of the person in white, his expression gradually calmed down, he swallowed the sweet and bloody taste in his throat, picked up the woman in white, and staggered towards his home.
…
The next day, Xiang Sheng opened his eyes and saw three and a half strings of bacon hanging on the low beam.
She came out of the void?
She sat up and saw that her arms were bandaged and smelled of medicine.
Looking up again, his eyes swept over the simple, clean but overly poor furnishings in the room.
She must have been saved by a mortal, but...
She narrowed her eyes slightly and saw the huge yin energy that almost filled the entire room, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
The yin energy is so strong.
Is this the underworld?
