Chapter 296 Jinjiang (1)
Ye Li should be the first one among everyone to regain consciousness from the darkness.
But when he opened his eyes, before he could see the scene clearly, he immediately realized that Yan Shixun was not by his side.
The breath that made him feel safe and warm disappeared.
Ye Li was shocked and his face suddenly turned cold.
He looked around and found that everyone, including Yan Shixun, was not here.
He was the only one in the endless darkness.
There was no sound, no light, and a completely enclosed dark room with no exit.
The darkness swallowed up everything, making it impossible to accurately judge what was in the distance. The unknown dangers made fear spread in the heart, and people didn't know where to go.
The panic of being completely deprived of all five senses can drive a person crazy in a short period of time.
This is the despair of being abandoned by the world.
But Ye Li's expression didn't even change. Apart from the initial surprise and anger when he discovered that Yan Shixun was not by his side, he was not interested in the situation around him.
It seemed that to him, there was no difference between light and darkness, the world and hell.
Even though there was endless darkness before him, and he could not see the road under his feet or the possible dangers around him, Ye Li did not feel the slightest panic. Instead, he immediately adapted to the darkness, and was even as comfortable as a dragon entering the abyss.
The ears cannot hear any sound and the eyes cannot see anything, so the sense of touch of the environment is elevated to the highest point.
Ye Li could feel that beside him, the ferocious beast transformed from the black mist was squatting obediently beside him, and its huge head was gently rubbing against the palm of his hand hanging at his side, while his long robe fell to the ground, and the fabric swayed slightly when the ferocious beast circled around.
When Ye Li sensed that the black fog beside him turned into a ferocious beast without his command, he knew where he was at the moment.
——The place where the power of old Fengdu is the strongest.
That is, the core of old Fengdu.
If not for this, his own divine name would not have reacted before him, and would have transformed into a ferocious beast before he regained consciousness, guarding him vigilantly and staring at the darkness around him with a fierce look.
Because Yeli once overwhelmingly defeated the old Fengdu, the old Fengdu's resentment towards Yeli was in sync with the power of the old Fengdu.
The more powerful a place is, the greater the resentment and malice directed at Yeli.
It was also because of this that Ye Li subconsciously sensed the crisis before he regained consciousness and woke up quickly.
This was something Ye Li had not expected.
He raised his eyebrows with interest. Instead of being panicked, he became more curious about what Jiu Fengdu was doing.
How dare they put him into the core of old Fengdu... Has old Fengdu survived for too long, so much so that it has gone mad and is seeking death?
How is this any different than letting a wolf into the sheepfold?
Even Yeli couldn't help but be a little surprised, and felt that it was quite difficult to understand the actions of the old Fengdu.
It can't be that the old Fengdu saw that the ghost way was about to succeed, so he relaxed his vigilance, became proud in advance, and wanted to show off his strength to his former enemy?
Many speculations flashed through Ye Li's mind, but he rejected them all one by one.
Although he was angry at the arbitrary judgment of the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu and looked down on the old Fengdu, he still had a detailed and comprehensive understanding of his former enemy.
The old Fengdu was willing to sink himself into the White Paper Lake in order to survive, and to use the ghost baby to survive at all costs. He would not be the type to fight him in a fair fight at all costs.
Rather than actively putting him into the core area, Ye Li would rather the old Feng City try its best to cover up its weaknesses and use all means to attract him somewhere else and keep him away from the core area.
But judging from the current situation, the old Fengdu is doing exactly the opposite.
That leaves only one possibility.
Ye Li's hand, which was casually placed on the beast's head, paused for a moment, and suddenly realized that besides himself, there was someone else that the old Fengdu was afraid of.
One is Yan Shixun, who has the appearance of an evil spirit.
Another one is an ebony statue that is carved with the image of a general from thousands of years ago and has been passed down.
The old Fengdu had new hatred and old grudges for the ebony statue.
Not only did the battle a thousand years ago kill the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu, making the former Fengdu become history, but it also quickly declined and almost disappeared.
Moreover, several years ago, the evil spirit guarding Baizhi Lake made the ghost baby and the old Feng behind it unable to move, and the plan of revival was postponed again and again.
If the Great Dao had not wanted to completely resolve all causes and effects in one fell swoop, instead of continuing to allow Old Fengdu to survive, Old Fengdu would not even have lived to see the day when the Ebony Statue left White Paper Lake.
Compared with the ebony statue and Yeli, although the two are actually one and the same, it is obvious that the old Fengdu hates and fears the ebony statue more.
Only when the ebony statue appears in the sight of old Fengdu will old Fengdu become confused and lose consciousness, mistakenly placing Yeli into the core area.
Before Ye Li lost consciousness, he was heading to the lower hell with Yan Shixun and others.
This means that the most core area is the lowest level of hell.
Ye Li's mind turned around for a few times, and immediately, even though his vision and hearing were completely deprived, he figured out the cause and effect and knew exactly where he was at the moment.
The most important thing to fear is the unknown.
Once someone finds out even a little bit about what's going on in the darkness, this fear will immediately recede like the tide.
As for Yeli, they could wait even more calmly.
The only thing that worries him now is Yan Shixun's situation.
He was still worried about the missing Yan Shixun, and wanted to resolve everything in the lowest level of hell as quickly as possible, and then immediately go to find Yan Shixun to prevent his beloved exorcist from being hurt in a place where he couldn't see, or...
Encounter the Ebony Idol.
Apart from this, Ye Li had no extra emotions.
Rather, the darkness and silence before him reminded him of the thousand years he had spent in Fengdu.
He was the only one standing alone on the high altar.
When I looked down, I could only see heads lowered in awe, and ghosts waiting in fear for judgment.
He is the ghost who is in charge of death and judgment. It seems that because of this, there is no other existence around him.
Even though he traveled around the world, judging good and evil, all he saw were countless crimes and the souls of the wronged falling before him, crying and begging for justice.
Ye Li had seen too many evil deeds in the world, and even the bad nature of human beings. He was completely disappointed by the exorcists' clear distinction between humans and ghosts, until he lost the last glimmer of hope.
Before meeting Yan Shixun, the Lord of Fengdu once stood high on the altar, overlooking the world and hell, his eyes were indifferent and cold, and not a single emotion could hinder his judgment and actions.
It was an even more terrifying existence than the Yeli that Yan Shixun knew.
When the Lord of Fengdu is furious, he will show no mercy and will not care whether it will harm the mountains and rivers on earth and cause turmoil in the world.
It was not until Ye Li met Yan Shixun that he began to have hope for the world again. He was willing to accept the good and evil in the world and restore the order of yin and yang because of Yan Shixun.
But now, when Ye Li was alone in the lowest level of hell, without Yan Shixun by her side, she also lost the only remaining warmth.
His eyes turned cold, and with every step he took towards the darkness ahead, the darkness beneath his feet collapsed. Loud rumbling sounds echoed in the lower level of hell, layer upon layer as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
When Yeli no longer cares about heaven and earth, heaven and earth no longer have a need to exist.
——But now, it is Guidao and the old Fengdu who are facing Yeli’s cold anger.
Old Fengdu would never have imagined that when its attention was drawn away by the ebony statue, it not only accidentally put Yeli into the lowest level of hell, but also aroused the anger of this terrifying evil god because of the endless darkness that originally existed as a punishment.
At this moment, he was not Yeli, but the lord of Fengdu.
Exists to judge sin.
And the most sinful place before his eyes now is undoubtedly the old Fengdu.
The darkness was shaking violently, and the ferocious beasts took firm and powerful steps, surrounding Ye Li and detecting dangers in the darkness around him.
Soon, screams of evil spirits were heard in the darkness, but they stopped abruptly with a shriek.
It felt like my throat was bitten off.
Ye Li didn't even give the source of the sound a glance, he just calmly lowered his eyes and walked on his own path, straight forward.
Whatever was ahead was swept away by the power and ferocious beasts around him.
Wherever Ye Li passed, darkness collapsed.
The invisible cracks quickly spread to the entire darkness, as dense as spider silk, making overlapping "click" sounds that made people's teeth ache.
Then, the sound stopped for a moment, and the whole darkness seemed to be completely still.
At this moment, Ye Li also stopped and stood quietly with his slender body, as if waiting for something.
“Crack!”
Like glass breaking, a crisp sound came from the depths of darkness and then quickly spread to the distance.
Amid the violent tremors that shook the earth, thin strands of light first shone through the cracks, interweaving into a three-dimensional light net in the darkness.
The light fell on Ye Li's stern face, but could not illuminate his dull and narrow eyes.
He raised his eyes, stared straight ahead calmly, and uttered a single word calmly: "Admonition."
The moment the voice fell, the entire darkness was finally completely shattered.
Flakes of black flew in the air and then melted into the bright and brilliant light. The entire hell was filled with bright light, without any shadows, let alone darkness.
Screams and sounds of panicking escape were heard one after another.
It was not until this moment that the scene that had been shrouded in darkness slowly emerged.
Ye Li narrowed his eyes, adjusted himself to the change from darkness to light, then opened his eyes again, and his vision became clear.
Then he saw that those being chased by the ferocious beasts were all the rotten corpses of hideous evil spirits.
They hid their bodies in the darkness and wanted to ambush Yeli silently.
However, he never expected that the lowest level of hell, where only ghosts who fell into it wailed and cried, would fall into the hands of an evil god. As a result, the evil ghost, who had hit the iron wall, was killed in return without any suspense, and even after fleeing in a panic, he could not get back a trace of his soul.
Ye Li's gaze slid indifferently over those evil spirits, and he saw through the sins recorded on their souls, and he understood clearly in his heart.
The evil ghost in the front with his eyes wide open in fear was once a barefoot doctor thousands of years ago. For the sake of money, he had evil thoughts and poisoned all the people named Bai in the city. He wanted to make money by selling the antidote, but due to his limited skills, the antidote failed to save the people, and thus caused the death of tens of thousands of people.
Even after the people died, the land there could no longer grow crops for a long time. It was polluted by poisonous water and caused the deaths of countless lives.
The rotten corpse whose head was bitten off by the beast's claws was once the king of a small country, but he was so licentious that his city was destroyed and his country was ruined. The people's resentment sent him to hell.
The evil ghost knelt down in front of the beast and cried and begged for a way out. He was a treacherous and evil minister in his lifetime. Countless loyal ministers and generals were framed and killed because of his selfish desires...
Those ghosts with deep sins were thrown into the lowest level of hell by Jiu Fengdu. The hatred of countless ghosts towards them also became their strength, making Jiu Fengdu think that they could use them as obstacles to protect the core.
If the people here are not from Yeli, then the method of old Fengdu can indeed work.
Unfortunately, when dealing with the ebony statue in a panic, Jiu Fengdu made the most unacceptable mistake and allowed Ye Li to enter here.
As a result, those evil spirits not only failed to hinder the visitors, but were completely eliminated by Ye Li in one fell swoop.
Ye Li had no interest in playing a game of hide-and-seek with Jiu Fengdu. To him, the defeated Jiu Fengdu was not qualified to be the chess player sitting opposite him and playing the same game with him.
So, he simply overturned the playground.
One force can defeat ten skills and completely break the deadlock.
No matter how many countermeasures Jiu Fengdu prepared, they would not work.
—You want to drive me crazy with the darkness?
Then I will shatter your darkness and destroy your entire hell.
So what if you are in charge?
There was no emotion on Ye Li's face, he just watched everything happen calmly.
Soon, he lost interest and casually withdrew his gaze, wondering where Yan Shixun might be and preparing to go there to find his beloved ghost exorcist.
When Ye Li started to turn the entire hell upside down, he realized that the current situation was not a coincidence, but a plan made by the Ebony Statue.
One is responsible for attracting hatred, while the other takes the opportunity to take action.
Since there are two equally powerful beings, even the most difficult problems will become easier to deal with.
With two attacks from both sides, there is no need to worry that Jiufeng will collapse.
Although Ye Li rarely recalled the events of a thousand years ago and no longer mentioned his past experience as a general, he was ultimately one with the general, and he understood the plan of his other self as soon as he thought about it.
However, the motivation that drives Ye Li to find Yan Shixun now is not the worry that Yan Shixun is injured.
Rather, it is the sense of crisis caused by the existence of the ebony statue.
Ye Li knew very well that if he wanted to completely attract the attention of Old Fengdu and make it relax its guard against the lowest level of hell, the most effective way would be to create a sufficiently chaotic turmoil caused by the ebony statue.
Even let the Ebony Statue destroy a layer of hell.
With such a huge momentum, Yan Shixun would not fail to notice it.
In other words, in addition to the old Fengdu, it is very likely that Yan Shixun was also attracted by the ebony statue.
As long as he imagined that the general from a thousand years ago would stand with Yan Shixun, Ye Li felt that he was almost suffocating.
How could he dare to let Yan Shixun meet and even get along with the general alone!
What if the general said something to sow discord between him and Shi Xun, or if the general noticed Shi Xun's shining side and developed different emotions...
After all, the general and the lord of Fengdu are actually one and the same.
Ye Li knew very well that since she would fall in love with Yan Shixun, there was a high probability that the general would also fall in love with him.
But he was the ghost exorcist who patiently approached step by step, and it took a lot of effort to get the wary big cat to fall into his arms. The cat was willing to let him stroke its fur, and even gradually began to loosen up, getting used to his approach and presence.
It just happened at this time!
What if the general scares away his big cat!
What if the general steals his treasure!
As soon as Ye Li thought about it for a moment, he gritted his teeth in hatred for Old Fengdu, thinking that a thousand years ago, he should not have thought about the large number of ghosts left in Old Fengdu and left Old Fengdu with a single breath.
They should just send an army of one hundred thousand to destroy the old Fengdu city and raze it to the ground without leaving any trace of its existence!
Thinking of this, Ye Li, who had just faced darkness and danger and was calm without any ripples in his heart, immediately became excited. He wished he could appear beside Yan Shixun right now and hold his beloved ghost exorcist tightly in his arms, not allowing any possibility of him being snatched away.
But at the moment when Ye Li turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a piece of pure white clothes fluttering like a crane.
Ye Li was stunned for a moment.
He remembered that shortly after entering the city, Yan Shixun told him that he saw Li Chengyun.
Although only for a moment.
And the "coincidence" is that now Ye Li himself also saw a corner of white clothes, which was exactly the same as the description he heard from Yan Shixun.
Ye Li realized something and quickly turned around to follow the flash of white in his peripheral vision.
Fortunately, this time, the white did not disappear in an instant, like an elusive cloud.
The man was dressed in white, standing not far from the evil spirits that were being torn apart by ferocious beasts and were wailing. He frowned and lowered his eyes, watching the massacre of the evil spirits.
His handsome and gentle face did not show a smile as Yan Shixun had recalled, but rather a look of deep thought.
The man was not frightened by the bloody scene in front of him, nor did he intend to rescue. He just watched it all happen as an outsider.
And I was wondering what happened all of a sudden, why the darkness disappeared and the light came in instead.
When Ye Li saw the man's figure clearly, the scene of more than ten years ago gradually emerged in his mind.
He stood at the edge of the market, silently watching through the gap in his hat as the man held Xiaoyan Shixun's hand and left the busy market.
...The man in white in front of him at this moment was indeed Li Chengyun.
"Mr. Chengyun."
Ye Li deliberately made his voice sound friendlier so as not to be so cold and indifferent as to keep people at a distance.
He did not walk towards Li Chengyun rashly, but stood where he was, quietly waiting for Li Chengyun to come, leaving enough time for Li Chengyun to prepare so as not to be frightened by him.
When Ye Li recalled what happened more than ten years ago, he had only one thought in his mind: if it happened again, he would definitely take the stubborn little boy away from the market instead of watching Li Chengyun take Yan Shixun away and then leaving.
Although Li Chengyun did his best to teach and raise Yan Shixun, he also helped Yan Shixun grow into an excellent and brilliant ghost exorcist.
But Ye Li still felt a little regretful that he had not participated in Yan Shixun's life for the past ten years.
Ghosts and gods who never regretted their choices rarely have the slightest regret.
However, Ye Li still concealed his emotions very well. Even the coldness and anger on his face were replaced by a friendly smile. He tried hard to make Li Chengyun have a good first impression of him.
After hearing the call, Li Chengyun was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that besides him, there was someone else who could reach the lowest level of hell and even knew his identity.
He has been dead for many years. Could it be an old friend?
Li Chengyun turned his head slightly and looked at Ye Li in confusion.
The tall man was wearing a black robe that fell to the ground. The robe was embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, ferocious beasts and ghosts, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches. The dark patterns vaguely reflected the light, making the man look more noble and majestic.
His long, inky black hair fell on his straight shoulders, his stern face was cold and emotionless, and the coldness in his eyes made him look like an outsider. No matter what happened in the world, he just watched with cold eyes.
The first time Li Chengyun saw Ye Li, he realized that this was probably a ghost.
It is even possible that this was the Lord of Fengdu who was the only one who survived when all the gods died, whom he had glimpsed during divination.
However, what made Li Chengyun feel a little strange was the somewhat stiff smile on Ye Li's face.
He could tell that this ghost god was definitely not a gentle and kind god, but he forced a smile when he saw him...
Li Chengyun stroked his chin and looked at Ye Li in silence for a while, then suddenly realized: "Oh, you are the new King of Fengdu? Do you know my Xiaoxun?"
Otherwise, there seems to be no other reason to explain this person's stiff smile.
Li Chengyun blinked and nodded with secret relief in his heart.
It seems that Xiaoxun has made a lot of friends after he left, which is great.
Ye Li had never met Li Chengyun before, except for a quick glance at the market more than ten years ago. After confirming that there was no sin in Li Chengyun's soul and that he was a person who could be safely entrusted to Xiaoyan Shixun, he never paid any attention to this white-robed monk again.
Later, I only heard sporadic stories about Li Chengyun from Yan Shixun.
But Ye Li did not expect that Li Chengyun would be so sharp.
They had just met, and before he said anything, Li Chengyun had already guessed the truth.
Is this the talented Monk Chengyun who is praised by ghost exorcists in the world... With his own strength, he managed to suppress the old Fengdu that was about to revive for several years again, and was even able to insert a hand in the game of the Great Dao to reverse the situation.
A flash of surprise passed through Ye Li's mind.
No matter how much you hear, it's nothing like seeing it in person.
Even though Ye Li had heard other people praising Master Chengyun several times before, it was not until this moment that he felt the reality and realized what kind of person he had entrusted Xiaoyan Shixun to.
Brilliant, warm and transparent.
From this perspective, he did not choose the wrong person back then.
The only regret is that in Shi Xun's heart, Li Chengyun is still far more important than him.
Ye Li sighed inwardly and was about to nod in response to Li Chengyun, but he heard Li Chengyun make a "hmm" sound, as if he had discovered something again.
"You and my Xiaoxun...are more than just acquaintances, right?"
Li Chengyun blinked hesitantly: "Could it be that you are in love?"
Ye Li: "…………"
Yeli:! ! !
Even someone as calm as the Lord of Fengdu couldn't help but feel a storm in his heart at this moment. He wondered how the layman in front of him could see this.
However, Ye Li was not afraid at all of his relationship with Yan Shixun being exposed.
Rather, the more people know, the better.
Ye Li often hesitated and worried between the two ideas of hiding the treasure deep in his arms so that no one could see it and announcing to everyone and even the public that he and Yan Shixun were together.
Even the fearless ghosts and gods have weaknesses when they have a loved one.
He was afraid that his beloved ghost exorcist would be taken away, but he was also so happy that he wanted to declare his ownership to everyone to prevent certain blind creatures from getting close to Yan Shixun.
For example, a warrior from thousands of years ago.
However, it was still beyond Ye Li's expectations that Li Chengyun could see it at a glance.
But after the surprise, regret followed.
Ye Li: Why couldn’t Shi Xun learn this sensitivity to emotions... Alas, his big cat has no emotions at all.
He quickly regained his composure and bowed slightly to Li Chengyun solemnly: "You guessed right."
"I am indeed with Shi Xun."
Ye Li thought for a moment and added, "Master."
Li Chengyun: “Ah…”
You changed your tune so quickly!
Even Li Chengyun was shocked by the speed and boldness with which Ye Li changed his words so calmly. He didn't expect that as soon as he asked the question, the other party would take advantage of the situation and not only admitted it, but also changed his words in an instant, immediately confirming his identity.
Li Chengyun: Fortunately, I have a good memory and I know that I only have one disciple. Otherwise, this spontaneous attitude would really make me doubt my memory.
But after thinking about it, he felt that he could understand it.
After all, you know your own children.
Li Chengyun knew very well that his Xiaoxun was good in every way except for one thing that made him worried until the moment of his death.
It is Yan Shixun’s emotional state.
Li Chengyun was not too worried that Yan Shixun would remain single until his death, after all, he himself had always been single.
He was just worried whether his Xiaoxun would refuse to make friends and whether he would feel lonely.
When he died under the cause and effect of the Great Dao, in Li Chengyun's heart, apart from a series of plans concerning heaven and earth that he had not yet completed, there was Yan Shixun.
He promised the child that he would make a bowl of Yuanxiao by himself on the next Lantern Festival so that the master and disciple could be reunited.
Unfortunately, he broke his promise.
This also became a deep regret for Li Chengyun.
During the time when he was alone in the old Fengdu hell where he could not see day or night, apart from thinking about the great way, he was also worrying about Yan Shixun.
Even though he knew that one day, the great way would guide his little Xun to the old Fengdu.
Perhaps, he will have the chance to reunite with Xiaoxun again.
However, what Li Chengyun didn't expect was that Xiaoxun came.
I just brought one more.
The Lord of Fengdu was unexpectedly familiar and changed his words without hesitation...
But it was precisely because of this that Li Chengyun believed what Ye Li said.
After all, with Xiaoxun's somewhat cold personality towards emotions, he would never have this interest unless the other party took the initiative.
"Many years ago, I did calculate Xiaoxun's horoscope."
Li Chengyun's eyebrows relaxed, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Although I calculated at that time that Xiaoxun would become a bridge for communication between the human world and ghosts and gods, I didn't expect that it would be realized in this way."
The evil spirits that have entered his bones can suppress the most evil in the world.
But Li Chengyun didn't expect that it was this kind of suppression method.
Although he remained single all his life, it does not mean that he does not understand human love.
Li Chengyun could see that the Lord of Fengdu in front of him was not just lip service to his Xiaoxun, but was truly sincere and serious about his love for her, promising her a lifetime, or even forever.
The Lord of Fengdu has such deep feelings for his own Xiaoxun, and he was the one who fell in love and took the initiative first. How could he go against Xiaoxun's will and do things that Xiaoxun doesn't want to see?
Even though Li Chengyun had once glimpsed the Great Dao and experienced the feeling of being one with heaven and earth, at this moment, he still couldn't help but sigh that fate was unpredictable.
When he read Xiaoxun's fortune, he never expected it to be this kind of method...
Ye Li carefully observed Li Chengyun's expression, and only felt relieved after seeing that Li Chengyun did not seem to be dissatisfied with the relationship between him and Yan Shixun.
"After learning from Zheng Shumu that you were here, Shi Xun has been wanting to find you. He also told me that he saw you once."
Ye Li's calm tone was filled with dissatisfaction. He asked, "Why don't you meet Shi Xun?"
Love the house and love the dog. It's nothing more than this.
Ye Li's respect for Li Chengyun, in addition to Li Chengyun's own brilliance and what he has done for the world, is more because of Yan Shixun.
Thinking about how Yan Shixun got so upset after just a glance at Li Chengyun, Ye Li felt a little sorry for his own exorcist.
Li Chengyun heard the accusation behind Ye Li's words, but he didn't care. He just smiled and said, "I can't leave here. When Xiaoxun sees me, he only sees a residual image of me that I left there, not the real me."
"It's you instead."
Li Chengyun raised his eyebrows and asked in a gentle tone: "Since you are the Lord of Fengdu, you should be the most feared existence for the old Fengdu, and it will never let you get close to the core. But now."
He raised his hand and pointed at the bloody battlefield in the distance. His expression did not change because of the horrific scene before him. He just said in surprise: "Old Fengdu should not have been unable to predict this outcome."
The consequence of allowing the enemy to get close to the core of oneself is that the entire layer of hell will be turned upside down by the Lord of Fengdu.
After today, the lowest level of hell is completely destroyed. Even the imprisoned evil spirits have all died and their power has been greatly reduced.
Before seeing Ye Li, Li Chengyun was quite surprised at the changes in hell and wondered what had happened to cause such a situation.
But after seeing Yeli, all previous doubts disappeared.
The Lord of Fengdu, the one who once killed the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu.
A mere evil ghost from hell is nothing.
When Ye Li thought of the ebony statue, his expression turned cold.
But the person who asked the question was Li Chengyun, the master whom Yan Shixun valued. So even though he didn't like to mention the ebony statue, he still told the truth and told Li Chengyun all his guesses, including the matter of working together with the generals to attack the old Fengdu.
After hearing this, Li Chengyun was slightly stunned: "Was the ebony statue taken away from Baizhi Lake by a child?"
His gentle features were tinged with worry: "It seems that the child will have to bear too heavy a cause and effect."
Although Li Chengyun had glimpsed the Great Dao, the Great Dao had laid out many plans, and even Ye Li, the ghost god, could not see through the Great Dao's true purpose at first glance. Therefore, Li Chengyun only saw that disaster was about to happen.
But I didn't expect that the Tao would want to use this to clear up the cause and effect.
And the young man who was bewitched by the ghost at the right time and took away the ebony statue and released the evil spirit in Baizhi Lake must be responsible for his choice and bear the heavy consequences.
Even, death from cause and effect.
Li Chengyun truly experienced the cause and effect under the Great Dao.
He had already anticipated his own death before he decided to spy on the Avenue, but even so, he remained unshaken. In order to prepare for the coming disaster in advance, he was willing to sacrifice his life.
If the Way leads us, why not sacrifice our life for it?
But when he saw that other people would die because of the cause and effect of the Great Dao, Li Chengyun's eyes still dimmed for a moment.
Ye Li's expression was not moved at all: "This is his own choice, and he is responsible for the consequences. Since he touched something he shouldn't have touched, he should bear the consequences. Whether the consequences are good or bad, they are all caused by him and have nothing to do with others."
"It's you, Mr. Chengyun."
Ye Li asked in confusion: "Why do you say that you can't leave here?"
Li Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "I saw the disaster of Baizhi Lake in advance, calculated the location of the ghost, and borrowed the ebony statue from him to guard the evil spirits of Baizhi Lake. To the old Fengdu, I am so hateful and sinful."
"What I did certainly deserves the lowest level of hell."
He smiled and gathered his sleeves, winking at Ye Li: "The companion of my enemy is my enemy. I think the hatred of Old Fengdu towards me should be second only to you, right?"
"'Sin' has become a merit and recognition for you and me."
Li Chengyun smiled and said, "How can I bear to leave here?"
Ye Li was surprised, and then he also laughed: "Yes, now it seems that the one who is hated by the old Fengdu should be rewarded with merit. Since you are the enemy of my enemy, it seems that we are naturally on the same side."
Li Chengyun waved his hand, his smile slowly fading away: "I was just kidding, you actually believed it."
Ye Li smiled without saying anything, quietly waiting for Li Chengyun to tell the truth.
The vast hell lost its cover of darkness, and the evil spirits that had been hiding in the darkness were all wiped out by the ferocious beasts. Only the mottled bloodstains and broken flesh remains on the ground were left, still telling of what had just happened.
Li Chengyun looked up and took a look at the scene of hell at this moment. A gentle smile appeared on his lips, and he sighed: "After being in hell for so long, this is the first time I have seen what hell really looks like. It can be considered a very interesting journey."
He turned and looked at Ye Li with a smile: "A direct ticket to hell, but I saw two completely different views. When I think about it carefully, I still made a profit."
"It turns out that in the darkness of hell, there are also mountains, rivers, and vast lands... Unfortunately, the old Fengdu was obsessed with its former superiority and never saw its own beauty."
When Li Chengyun looked towards hell, his eyes were clear and bright, without any resentment or dissatisfaction. You could never find any negative emotions in him.
Even in the most difficult and desperate situations, he could still chat and laugh calmly, and when he talked about his past sufferings, it was as if he was telling an interesting story, so interesting, relaxed and peaceful.
In his vision, there is always vitality and hope.
Even in a hopeless and unsolvable dead end, Li Chengyun never gave up any possibility.
Always firm, always vibrant.
"I once told an old friend that I regretted being born too late and not having the opportunity to visit the underworld or Fengdu, which is also a regret in life."
Li Chengyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that things would turn out so well and I would have the opportunity to visit the old Fengdu."
Ye Li took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "I didn't expect that you would come to Old Fengdu. This really surprised me a little."
Even though Li Chengyun died due to the cause and effect of the Great Dao, he was lured into the city by the angry old Fengdu with ghost energy. Because he was resentful of Li Chengyun for bringing the ebony statue to ruin his plan, he wanted to take revenge on him.
