A sound of pleasure
When they had entered earlier, the statue's eyes had clearly been looking straight ahead. But now, the angry side was looking down with particular noticeability, while the other two heads were squinting.
“Run!”
Before they could run a few steps, the stone statue suddenly started moving. It swung the stone pillar in its hand and swept towards them. Because the stone statue was so tall, its movements seemed a little slow to them. Tianshu turned around and saw this and immediately shouted anxiously, "Get down!"
After receiving the reminder, several people responded immediately. Regardless of the pain, they threw themselves down and lay down immediately.
The moment they lay down, the stone pillar swept over their heads.
Then the stone statue lifted the stone pillar high up and smashed it to the ground. Since the stone pillar was extremely tall and thick, it seemed that no matter how you tried to dodge, you would be dead.
As a last resort, Tianshu mobilized his divine power and took the three of them into the air, flying quickly to the side, thus escaping death and avoiding the disaster.
Otherwise, they would have turned into a pool of meat paste by now.
When they reached the stairs leading to the secret room, the statue, sitting cross-legged, was unable to reach them with its pillar. Furious, it suddenly lifted the pillar and slammed it down, cracking the stairs in several places. The flying debris nearly crushed Ah Li to death, leaving them pale with fear.
Because A'li and Cha Suxun are too weak as mortals, and Heqi's magic power is completely sealed, it will take a while to quickly unlock the magic seal. The three of them are extremely fragile and will die in a miserable way if they are not careful.
At the moment, Tianshu is the only one who can fight against it, but he is busy saving this one and moving that one, and he really can't spare the attention to completely get rid of the stone statue.
When he went down to the mortal world, because of the previous experience, he was afraid that he would encounter Xie Yuan's old subordinates this time. In order to ensure the safety of A Li and Qi Heng, Tian Shu deliberately restrained about 90% of his immortal power to take care of both ends, so it was a bit strenuous.
Tianshu had no choice but to retreat in order to advance, constantly leading them to hide, waiting for the opportunity to strike.
According to the door god, the mechanism to exit the secret room was on the stairs, but it had been damaged by a pillar of the stone statue. Tianshu could only find other exits to lead them out.
Looking at the beam of light shining down from above the stone statue, Tianshu wanted to take a chance on his life.
But who knew that the next moment the stone statue stood up, staggered towards them, and waved the stone pillar in its hand in a disorderly manner.
After the statue stood up, the place where it had been sitting was revealed to be a huge pit, so deep and black.
Because the stone statue stood up straight, its head was almost close to the position of the beam of light. In addition, he couldn't find a pattern by waving the stone pillar randomly. If Tianshu rashly took the three of them to fly to the top of the light, regardless of whether it was an exit, there was a high probability that he would be hit to death by a stick from the stone statue.
"Please, throw me into that black pit. Cousin, take your sister-in-law out and go straight back to Jiwang Valley to wait for me."
Hearing this, Ah Li angrily shouted, "Are you crazy, Ah Xun? If you step into that black pit, you'll either be crushed to pieces or thrown to death! Cousin-in-law, I don't know what magical powers you have, but please, for the sake of your wife and my husband's relationship, don't throw her away!"
"I won't throw him away, shh! I have a way." As he said that, Tianshu Nian Jue created six clones, which attacked the stone statue quickly and swiftly.
Soon, the stone statue became confused. Even though it had three heads and six eyes, it couldn't tell which one was the real one, so it had to smash it randomly.
After confirming his guess, Tianshu took advantage of the moment when the stone statue was dizzy and had a headache, and immediately led the three of them to rush towards the black pit.
After entering the black pit, the stone statue soon ceased its attack and returned to its original position. There was a tremor, and gravel and dust fell. Cha Suxun instinctively hugged her to his chest, using his back to shield her from the rubble.
At this moment, the cave was completely dark and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Tianshu lit a tinderbox, the dim light barely giving him some courage. Ah Li brushed the dust off his head and removed the small pebbles in his hair. Then, he opened his arms and wrapped them around Ah Xun's waist, holding him tightly.
Cha Suxun hugged Ah Li back, rubbing her shoulders with his warm hands to comfort her. Then he asked Tian Shu, "Have you thought of this too?"
"I was too careless and didn't think about it that way before. It was only after you said you were going to throw you into the black pit that I started to think about it."
He Qi, who was eager to release the magic seal quickly, was a little slow to keep up and asked in doubt, "What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
"Don't talk, just focus on breaking the seal. Once you've completely broken the seal on your magical power, we can leave." After that, Tianshu turned to Cha Suxun and said, "Now that we're here, it will be safer for Ah Li to recover her memory. Besides, you have your purpose, and she has hers."
Thinking of what Ah Li said when she asked him to erase her memory, Cha Suxun still chose to shake his head and refuse, saying: "I can protect her."
"This is the intersection of yin and yang, a rift that belongs neither to your underworld nor to the world of the living. No one knows much about what exists here. How can you guarantee that she can walk out of here alive when she is completely unfamiliar with the existence of monsters and demons? You can protect her body, but what about her mind and heart? If she were just a mortal, she would probably be scared to death! I don't know why A-li asked you to erase her memory, but you should prioritize what she says. Even if we get out safely, you can erase her memory later. Save yourself first, doesn't it hurt?"
"You come and recover."
Tianshu rolled his eyes helplessly and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand. I've helped you so much, so when you go back, pick a few more flowers from your backyard for me."
"Can."
Tianshu chose the fastest method: memory recall. He touched her soul with divine power, causing all the important memories attached to her soul to quickly flash back before her.
When A-li recalled everything, the shock and fear on her face completely disappeared.
Thinking of who she was hugging, Yuanli immediately let go and subconsciously wanted to step back. However, Cha Suxun increased the strength of his grip and hugged her back.
Cha Suxun frowned and said, "What? Are you turning your back on me?" She waved her hand to explain, but Cha Suxun interrupted, "I know everything you want to say. I'm not offended. I'm your husband now, and you don't need to be so respectful to me. Or are you shy? We're all acquaintances, there's no need to be embarrassed. Or maybe I'm still not in A'li's sight, not even a little bit. I can't compare to him after all, but like him, I'm your husband for life! The difference with him is that you were the one who asked me to marry you. Have you forgotten all the vows you made to me?"
Cha Suxun pretended to be pitiful as if no one was around, leaving the other two dumbfounded. Ah Li quickly hugged Cha Suxun's waist back, maintaining the intimacy they had just shared.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"Why should I go back and tell you? Am I going to be hidden by you again like I was in the Netherworld?"
"Nothing."
Cha Suxun held back his tears, as if forcing himself to suppress his grievances, and said slowly and incredulously, "Are you going to deny even our past in the Netherworld?"
"No, no, I mean there's no point in hiding you. Let's go back and talk about it, okay, A-Cha?"
"good."
Tianshu couldn't stand it any longer. He imitated Cha Suxun's exaggerated behavior, dancing with joy, rolling his eyes and saying sarcastically, "Have you forgotten all the vows you made to me?"
After finishing his study, Tianshu held his forehead and said angrily, "This is a matter of life and death! Please take it seriously! Have I committed some crime punishable by death? Do I have to be forced to watch you like this..." Tianshu opened his mouth for a long time without saying the most expressive words. Finally, he gave up and said, "Let's get back to the topic. Let's talk about our understanding of this place. Rumors are fine. We can share information with each other so that we can have a general understanding."
Cha Suxun: "Okay."
Yuanli said apologetically, "Okay, sorry."
"Let me explain first. The version I've heard is that during the great battle thirty thousand years ago, when the gods were besieging Xie Yuan and his minions, an ancient divine artifact was summoned, and the cracks were created unintentionally. Somehow, these cracks later transformed into a realm inhabited by alien creatures, which they call the Yellow Spring Inn. Thankfully, the creatures within never come out to do evil, so the place is relatively peaceful. However, it's said that there's an alien within that can bewitch people's minds. Fortunately, the heavens dispatched numerous immortals and gods at the time to seal off most of the entrances and exits."
He Qi, who had just lifted the spell seal, said, "You guys in the celestial realm love to embellish yourselves like this when you tell stories? Are you truly unaware, or have you been deceived by the celestial realm?"
"That's wrong. I'm not trying to beautify my own territory. This is what I heard from my fellow immortals who participated in the Sealing of the Cracks."
"Then let me tell you my version of the story. I've heard my sister talk about this place since I was a child. It was more than 30,000 years ago. My sister called this place Huangquan Inn, but it's not the real Huangquan. Few people know about this place, but information about it is widely circulated on the black market. People on the black market say that Huangquan Inn is a place densely populated with treasures, and any weapon buried in the yellow sand there for a day will double its combat effectiveness. Therefore, many people have been buying news about Huangquan Inn, but no one has ever found it. Until you said that 30,000 years ago, the ancient artifact split open many cracks. A man in black, with a strong immortal aura, came to the black market, met the owner of the black market's largest pawnshop, and sold three words worth 300 spirit stones."
Ah Li did the math and realized she had spent some time in the Demon Realm. If she only lived frugally, one Spirit Stone could provide her with food and drink for a year. Ah Li couldn't help but exclaim, "What news! So valuable?"
"First, at the Yellow Spring Inn, nestled amidst the yellow sands, there lives a proprietress who can understand your past and present lives. Second, the earth's rewards are always generous and equal. Third, the abyss of desire can devour your soul, but it can also reveal hope for life."
Cha Suxun said, "There are similar records in Huamian Village. The earth's rewards are always abundant, and the end of life is also the origin of life. At the intersection of the two worlds, the pervasive yellow sand will eventually swallow you into the abyss of desire."
