When Yan Hei found Cha Rui, Cha Rui had already fallen into a deep coma. The water of Zhengwangchuan River was smelly and Cha Rui's body was floating in the river. The black air all over his body showed signs of dissipating.
Yan Hei pulled Cha Rui out of the river and gave him a bit of Yin energy, finally pulling Cha Rui back from the brink of death.
When Cha Rui woke up, he saw Yan Hei and was so scared that he rolled and crawled away dozens of meters.
Yan Hei's attire looked like the Lord of the Underworld in the legend of the Nawa people: his face was as black as charcoal, he wore a black jade crown on his head, and he wore a royal robe made of black brocade embroidered with golden cloud patterns.
Cha Rui felt guilty. He was not a resident of the underworld. He came to the underworld to look for "treasure". After being injured by Zhou Yuanyuan last time, Cha Rui finally recovered from his injuries, but found that there were some fragmented images in his mind.
From the picture, Cha Rui discovered that there was a place where a treasure he had always longed for was buried - the Yin Pearl.
It is recorded in the ghost cultivation techniques of the Nawa tribe that Yin beads are formed by the power of successfully cultivated ghosts drawn from their own bodies. Yin beads contain pure Yin energy, which is of great benefit to the practitioners of the Nawa tribe.
As long as he absorbed the Yin Qi from the Yin Pearl, Cha Rui could transform into a pure ghost cultivator, without having to constantly switch between human and ghost forms. You know, every time he transformed, Cha Rui had to endure immense pain.
At first, Cha Rui was skeptical. The image in his mind had appeared so suddenly that he feared it was a trap set by Zhou Yuanyuan.
As time passed, more and more images appeared in Cha Rui's mind.
Although Cha Rui had never been to the underworld, he strangely recognized the mist-filled Yellow Spring Road, the Yinming River shrouded in yin energy, the boundless Three Lives Flowers, and the majestic and solemn Palace of the Underworld from the picture. Not only that, a route map from the human world to the underworld also appeared directly in Cha Rui's mind.
With the idea of giving it a try, Cha Rui followed the road map in his mind and found the entrance to the underworld. At this point, Cha Rui had no choice but to follow his inner desire and secretly enter the underworld.
As luck would have it, shortly after entering the underworld, Cha Rui discovered that the map he had in his mind leading to the Palace of the Underworld was slightly off. Where the Yellow Springs Road should have been, it had become a river. Cha Rui missed a step and fell into the River of Forgetfulness. The icy cold of the water was too much for Cha Rui, a half-human, half-ghost. He passed out in the river, unsure how long he drifted until Yan Hei discovered him and pulled him out.
Seeing Yan Hei at this time, Cha Rui felt guilty and was of course scared to death.
"Great...Great King,...yes..." Cha Rui didn't know what to say when he saw Yan Hei with a stern look on his face.
Cha Rui's mind holds memories of Yan Hei. In Cha Rui's memory, Yan Hei possesses a magical weapon called the Underworld Lord's Token, which, by simply waving it, reveals every major event in the underworld. This "stowaway" is undoubtedly untraceable within the Underworld Lord's Token. If the Underworld Lord discovers he's an intruder, will he destroy him?
Seeing Cha Rui looking like he was about to faint, Yan Hei glared at him with his big, bell-like eyes wide open. This ghost was so ignorant. He rarely showed kindness, so shouldn't the ghost say something to express his gratitude?
"Ghost, which Underworld City resident are you from? How did you end up in the Forgetful River? Where is your city lord?" Yan Hei's voice was as loud as a bell, frightening Cha Rui so much that his heart almost stopped beating.
However, from Yan Hei's words, Cha Rui grasped several key points: there are cities in the underworld, and there are city lords who manage the cities. Moreover, this river is called Wangchuan, and you can't just go in and take a bath.
After coming to this realization, Yan Hei pondered for a moment before answering, "Your Majesty, I...my name is Cha Rui. I was kicked into the river by a woman during a fight. I can't recall anything else right now."
"So he's an amnesiac?" Yan Hei was a little disappointed.
Yan Hei had originally wondered if he could get information from Cha Rui about the underworld's recent past. Unexpectedly, Cha Rui knew nothing, and his efforts to save this ghost were in vain.
Yan Hei raised his leg, intending to kick Cha Rui back into the Forgotten River. Since it was useless, why not keep it and waste the Yin energy of the underworld? This was Yan Hei's usual practice.
"My lord, I remember a little bit." Seeing that the situation was not good, Cha Rui quickly hugged Yan Hei's legs.
No one wants to die if they can survive!
"." Yan Hei always spoke briefly to people other than Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Your Majesty, I am not a local ghost. I just came from the human world." Cha Rui had to be picky and told Yan Hei about his affairs. Of course, Cha Rui would not tell Yan Hei about the Yin Pearl, but he did not hide anything about the Nawa tribe.
"So you're half human, half ghost?" Yan Hei was now intrigued. After the Dark Lord's Order dissipated, Yan Hei was eager to find the Void Stone. There had been no news from Zhou Yuanyuan. Could this Cha Rui have been sent by the gods to help him? No wonder he, who usually meddles in other people's affairs, reached out and pulled Cha Rui out of the river when he saw him.
After having this idea, Yan Hei looked at Cha Rui and felt that he liked him very much.
After several hours of "cordially and friendly" communication, Yan Hei successfully received the first brother after his return.
Of course, this was Yan Hei's own idea. In fact, in Cha Rui's opinion, it was only after Yan Hei threatened him for a while that he had no choice but to succumb to Yan Hei's "tyrannical power" and agreed to go to the human world to search for the whereabouts of the Kongming Stone for Yan Hei.
While Yan Hei was talking to Zhou Yuanyuan, Cha Rui was standing a few dozen meters away.
Cha Rui's mind was a bit confused. After Yan Hei's Yin energy entered his body, Cha Rui found that his mind had expanded a lot. Among these images, the most frequent one was a black-robed figure. A black-robed figure whose appearance and aura were no less impressive than Yan Hei's.
Just as Cha Rui was hesitating whether to go to the Palace of the Underworld Lord to get the Yin Pearl and then escape, Yan Hei had already ended his communication with Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Arui, come here." Yan Hei put away the black jade key in his hand and waved at Cha Rui.
Cha Rui rushed forward and knelt before Yan Hei.
"Ari, you should set off for the human world now!" Yan Hei ordered majestically.
"My king, when you asked me to go to the human world just now, please remember to look for me. I wonder where I am now?" Cha Rui lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"Oh! My sister doesn't want to see you. Forget it, Are, you don't have to worry about anything else, just go find the Kongming Stone by yourself. Remember, come back quickly after finding the Kongming Stone." After Yan Hei finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Cha Rui to set off quickly.
Cha Rui didn't dare to say anything else. He kowtowed to Yan Hei and ran away.
