It's strange to say, I grew up in the mountains, and I have played in the mountains behind my hometown since I was a child. I have seen many strange things in the mountains, including many jumping grasshoppers, but this is the first time I have seen a beating wooden heart. Moreover, this golden wooden heart beats continuously with a steady rhythm, neither fast nor slow, and always consistent.

Now that I have escaped the danger for the time being, I should find a place to ask Yunwen how to use this thing to save her. After all, she has studied these things. She told me that the Zhenming Umbrella was made by Zuo Muxin, which shows that she should not be too unfamiliar with it. The only place where I can communicate with her normally is under the water. When the residual soul contract of the Zhenming Umbrella does not work, I can hear Yunwen communicating with me normally.

The closest place to water now is the isolated peak opposite the City Wall Mountain, which is where the Bigfoot's lair is located. There is a stream on the peak. When we lived in the Moth Cave, we often went to the stream to take a bath together, so I still remember that place.

So after resting here for a while, I put Youmuxin into the bag, carried Yunwen onto the horse's back again, and set off. Originally, I felt that the journey to Chengqiang Mountain was quite far, but now with Sanfu's galloping, it was not a big deal at all. After a few steps, we reached the junction of Solitary Peak, where there were stone steps leading to the top of Solitary Peak. Sanfu carried us up to the top of the mountain and looked at this area.

Things are different and people have changed.

The top of the mountain is still the top of the mountain, but the Yingchun who cried because she was afraid of her sister's unfortunate death is no longer there. Even though she was very annoying, the four of us were inseparable and lived together day and night for nearly two years. I'm afraid that to this extent, we are not like family, but better than family. Now when I think of her becoming a pile of black charcoal and a tombstone, I can't help but feel emotional.

Thinking of this, I thought of Song Bailu. Yunwen and I escaped, but what about her? If she stayed in the house, wouldn't those hyenas make trouble for her? After all, we are old teammates. If she lost her life, I would feel bad. After all, I promised to keep her safe and ensure that she would have no worries about her life and that she would have food, clothing, shelter and transportation. This is my promise, and I can't just give up.

"No, I have to discuss this with Yunwen later and see what to do. Although the situation is urgent, we have finally got this break to save Yunwen, and we can't lose sight of one thing while focusing on the other." I muttered.

Now is not the time to be reminiscing. Time is precious.

So I had Sanfu tied to the tree on the top of the mountain, and then I took Yunwen to the top of the mountain. Then I took off my clothes, took a deep breath, held Youmuxin in my hand, jumped into the stream, and fell asleep. Because of the residual soul contract, Yunwen would always follow me, so she also jumped into the pool and sank.

When she got to the pool, the residual soul contract was invalid for her, so she could speak. Since she had no heart now and relied on her residual soul to survive, she was just a zombie, so there was no need to hold her breath or anything like that. Moreover, she could talk in the water without feeling choked. As soon as she got into the water, her expression became relaxed, and she said, "Zhou Bo, are you okay? It was so dangerous just now, are you injured?"

I shook my head in the water, then pointed at my mouth and waved my hand, meaning that I couldn't hold my breath for long, so don't say those useless things. Then I handed her the right wooden heart in my hand. She couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw it. After taking it, she looked around for a long time and said, "Yangshen Wood? Oh my God, I didn't expect that Zhou Bo could find this. This... This is the heart of the Lord of the Ghost Realm in the legend! The last time this thing appeared in the records was during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. There was a stone inscription left by a tomb owner in the Western Zhou Dynasty. There was a record about this. The pattern of this thing reads 'Ghost's Heart, Yang God is in the world and will never enter the Yin'. Therefore, for thousands of years, countless people have wanted to find this thing in order to obtain the way to immortality. I never thought that it was handed to me by you, Zhou Bo."

I was also quite surprised. I only knew that this thing could save Yunwen, but I never thought that it was so precious. No wonder those mermaids went crazy after I snatched it away just now. They were obviously unable to move on land, but they still chased me relentlessly. It turned out that this thing had such a great origin.

"I heard that not only are all the kings and generals in the world seeking this thing, but even evil spirits are also searching for it. It is the heart of the devil, can bring people back to life, can make people immortal, can keep people young forever, and is immune to all poisons. Drinking this thing in water can extend your life by several years, let alone using it? This is the most precious thing in the world." Yunwen said again.

It really amazed me, but it is impossible for me to hold my breath forever underwater. I am a mortal and I don't have an iron lung. If I keep on like this, I will suffocate to death. And if Yunwen stays in the water like this, too much water will enter her body, which will affect the next situation. So I quickly waved at her and pointed to my mouth again.

Yunwen sighed in the water at this time, extremely complaining, and said: "I don't deserve such a good thing, Zhou Bo, you keep it. After all, I am a living dead, and it is useless for me to hold it. You can give it to Bailu, and she can use it as medicine. Then both of you can extend your lifespans, how great it would be. If I hold it, it would just be a waste of God's gift, so forget it."

After saying that, she handed me the Yangshen Wood again. I wanted to refuse, but thinking that she had always been so stubborn, I didn't force her. I had plenty of clever and convenient ways.

I nodded and took the thing back in my hand. At the same time, I stood up and walked over. Not long after, Yunwen also came out of the water. We came to the shore. I thought of what she said about this thing making people immune to all poisons and bringing them back to life. It can be seen that the magical effects of this medicine are all explained clearly.

I wiped my face and helped wipe the water off her face, and said, "To prolong your life, right? If a person is not happy, what's the use of living for a thousand years, and what's the use of being immortal? Isn't it just making yourself upset? Song Bailu and I can't stay together for a day, let alone for so long. But if it's you, everything will make sense. Don't say you are not worth it. In my eyes, even if I can pick the stars for you, it's worth it, let alone such a strange jumping wood? So don't think too much, you, Zhang Yunwen, are worth anything I can do for you."

At this moment, Zhang Yunwen was bound by the residual soul contract, so she couldn't control her body in front of me. And once I looked into her eyes and ordered her to do something, she would do it immediately without any slackness. So I asked her directly about how to use this Yangshen wood, and she could only answer that it could be used as medicine and soaked in water, and it could also be directly grafted as a heart, saying that it was recorded in ancient books.

Indeed, Yunwen's heart has been taken away, and it is impossible for her body to recover its functions. This is the main reason why she cannot be resurrected from the living dead. Therefore, I really have to get her a heart. Unfortunately, this may require an operation, and Bailu is not here now. The only tool I have is the axe I took away, which really makes it the biggest challenge for me.

But if I don't try now, it will be too late to regret when this thing is snatched away. Therefore, this is the only way to save Yunwen. No matter how difficult or cruel the process is, I have to complete it. What's more, Yunwen is just a zombie and has no sense of pain. I should overcome this psychological barrier by myself.

So I took a deep breath, looked Yunwen in the eyes, and ordered, "Lie down."

Because of the special contract, Yunwen followed orders and lay down, but her eyes were flustered. I kissed her lightly on the mouth and whispered, "Don't be afraid, this is for your own good."

After saying that, I went to clean the axe. Sanfu seemed to sense that something was wrong with its owner, and kept neighing below. I could only comfort myself, and then found some dry grass and wooden poles by the stream, and took out the ancient lighter from my pocket. I guess there was not much oil left in it, so I started a fire. The fire started burning, and I warmed the edge of the axe to make it easier to cut open the belly later.

I could feel my hands shaking. After all, it felt like I was going to do something horrible to Yunwen, even though I knew I wanted to save her.
