"I said, I seem to be lost."
Lawyer An said as he threw dry branches into the fire.
Geng Chen was placed on the haystack next to him, holding a grilled fish in his hand and eating it slowly.
"Getting lost proves that we are on the right track."
Geng Chen put down the grilled fish in his hand, looked at Lawyer An, and continued:
"Any more salt?"
"No more. I tell you, even the red spider lily oral solution is almost gone."
Gengchen nodded and continued eating fish.
Lawyer An was a little impatient. He fled all the way from Yangzhou to the outside of the Great Wall. He thought he could live freely in the sky, but he listened to Geng Chen's instigation and went straight into the deep mountains and forests.
Maybe to other people, the old forest is just a forest. Only those who have truly come into contact with the old forest know how terrifying it is.
Of course, purely natural environment problems would not cause much difficulty to the two former underworld inspectors. They had no worries about food and drink, but their destination was much more dangerous than that of ordinary people.
"No venture, no gain. You should understand this principle. At this moment, complaining and being impatient are meaningless."
"But if this continues, I'll be driven crazy by the pressure."
Lawyer An stood up and kicked a few uncooked fish nearby. Looking at their wide-open eyes, Lawyer An felt a kind of mockery from the dead fish.
"I can't afford to be at peace. I have to keep calm."
“You say it easily. It has been three days since I entered this area. This place has an inexplicable suppression on my spiritual perception;
I am like a deaf person or a blind person here, with my eyes open, but walking in the dark. "
Having it before and suddenly losing it now, this feeling of insecurity is really torturous.
Even though Lawyer An's strength was greatly reduced when he was deprived of his origin documents and escaped from hell, he did not lose his mental power.
"Just get used to it, just get used to it."
Gengchen continued to eat fish.
His body is indeed small, but his appetite is amazing, no different from that of an adult.
"Where's your puppet? No news yet?"
Geng Chen shook his head, "I have made more than fifty plant puppets, but not a single one has come back yet."
"Is she here or not?"
"It's only been three days, and you've already lost sight of your goal?" Geng Chen sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said with a smile: "I can't believe it, your love is so short-lived."
"I just don't want to waste my time!"
"For the one you love, even if it's a waste of effort, it's still a sweet thing to do."
"We don't have to hurt each other here, right?"
The implication is, don't you have any idea of what you have done to your wife and daughter
Geng Chen reached out, grabbed the branch next to him, and continued to act as a path-finding puppet.
"Why was she buried here?"
Lawyer An sat down again and asked.
"You're not the only one who likes her."
"Your way of narrating makes me very uncomfortable."
"You haven't been a virgin for all these years, why would you care so much?"
"Hey, I say, if you don't mock me you will die, right?"
"Haha, it is said that after her death, a purple-belt judge buried her, and he specially chose the place she loved most during her lifetime, which is here."
"A judge with a purple ribbon?" Lawyer An took a prepared fish from the side, put a branch on it, and roasted it on the fire. "A judge of the purple ribbon level is only one step away from establishing a government. How could it be possible..."
"You are a gold medal inspector, aren't you? You can still risk your life for your beloved."
"How can my patrol officer compare with others?"
"Almost the same, although the level is different. Let me count, red, orange, yellow, green, blue..."
Geng Chen clapped his hands, and the little puppet made of tree branches that he had just made ran out by itself.
"I won't count them, but you can't ask someone who holds a high position to be disqualified from risking his life for his beloved, right?"
"Then how did you know? He is such a high-ranking official. The difference between you and him is... well, let me count for you, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue..."
"He was later exiled to the sealed land, and then he died. He died while fighting against a troll that was about to break the seal."
"That's a shame."
"He told me about this. Before his soul collapsed, he told me about this place and said that if I had the chance in the future, I could go here to see her when I came back to life. He was afraid that she would be lonely.
Look, their love is indeed much more beautiful than yours."
"This isn't a movie, why do we need to be aesthetic?"
"At least it's better than you, a character that no one knows who you are, right?"
Lawyer An moved the grilled fish closer to him, examined it, and asked, "Do you want to eat it?"
"eat."
"You'll die if I don't fill you up!"
Lawyer An threw the grilled fish to Geng Chen, took out a cigarette, lit it, and after a while, asked:
"That purple ribbon girl was also implicated because of her matter?"
"He...deserved it. During the arrest, he signaled his men to deliberately leave a gap, which almost led to the collapse of the arrest operation.
Later, the Emperor of Song became angry and issued an edict to criticize his crimes. He was demoted several levels and finally exiled to our dangerous, boring, and remote place. "
"That old guy deserves to have his lair smashed by the moon."
Upon hearing this, Geng Chen raised his head slightly and glanced at Lawyer An.
Lawyer An curled his lips at him. There were some things that he had never explained to Geng Chen because the time was not right yet.
Just then,
A half-broken puppet ran out from the bushes in front.
“I’m back!”
Lawyer An became excited.
The puppet staggered to Geng Chen. Geng Chen grabbed the puppet's body with his hands, squeezed it gently, and then stood up. He consciously and skillfully climbed onto Lawyer An's neck and sat on it, like a son sitting on his father's shoulders.
"Do you know the location?" Lawyer An asked.
"Got it. I'll give the orders and you walk."
The road was actually not difficult to walk on. Although there were a lot of gullies in the old forest, it was really nothing for Lawyer An and his companions. However, the pace of walking, stopping, and going in circles was really unbearable.
Lawyer An almost wanted to ask Geng Chen directly several times whether he was deliberately manipulating him or whether there were really so many mysterious formations, but after thinking about it, he held back.
Who told me that I am not proficient in formations? I can still figure out some ordinary formations based on my experience, but for more advanced ones, I would be almost the same as my boss.
finally,
After jumping over the stream ahead,
Lawyer An smelled the fragrance of flowers.
But when I walked to the other side of the stream, I didn't smell anything at all.
"I found it. It's a place where cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The girl with the purple ribbon said she loved cherry blossoms the most, so he planted a sea of cherry blossoms where she was buried."
"I still think lilac rhymes better."
"There is no formation blocking the way ahead, so we can rest assured."
"It's finally over. Did that purple belt guy also follow the formation route? It's really a big deal to bury someone in the world of the living."
"Existences at that level are already at the peak of the Judges. If they go any higher, they will be on par with the Ten Kings of Hell. To be honest, their level of strength is beyond the reach of people of our level to glimpse and understand."
"Oh, you're showing off. I've seen even more awesome people before."
The owner of the Nether Sea sat face to face with me every day and drank coffee.
Taishanfujun would go out with me to the hair salon every now and then to have fun.
Did I brag? Did I show off? Am I proud
I know a purple-belt judge, look how awesome you are.
Lawyer An put Gengchen down.
With his hands on his waist,
Whoosh…
Take a break.
Take a break;
Pursing his lips, Lawyer An pushed aside the bushes in front of him. Suddenly, he felt an eerie feeling and quickly stepped back, but his body still flew backwards as if he had been hit by a whip.
With a "plop" sound,
Fell into the creek.
“Fuck…”
Lawyer An climbed out of the stream with a bloody wound on his chest.
"Didn't you say there are no restrictions here?" Lawyer An asked dissatisfiedly.
"There shouldn't be any, but I don't know what happened..."
Gengchen wasn't quite sure either.
It took Lawyer An about a quarter of an hour to bandage the wound. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was only slightly scratched. If he had reacted more slowly, his body would probably have been cut in half.
"Be careful." Geng Chen said.
"Haha." Lawyer An glared at Geng Chen unhappily.
Next,
As they moved forward in the Cherry Blossom Valley, the two were extremely cautious and passed through several prohibitions, but Geng Chen discovered them in advance and avoided them.
finally,
The two came to the deepest part of the Sakura Valley.
Arrived at the edge of the cold pond.
"She is right under the cold pond. I don't know if she has a body or just a cenotaph. Or maybe even just an inscription on a tombstone."
"It's no use saying this now. Even if there's only an ID card left at the bottom of the cold pond, I'll have to go down and fish it out to take a look."
"Don't move!"
"What's wrong?"
"There seems to be a person in the middle of the lake."
"Where is he? Hiss... there really is someone. He's standing up."
"It seems he has discovered us."
"Yeah, he was so excited that the water pool was boiling. Damn, this aura is so terrifying. When did the Northeast Great Immortal become so fierce?"
"It is demonic energy, but it doesn't look like a great immortal. This demonic energy is too shocking."
"Did we disturb him?"
"Maybe. He seems to be in pain."
"Listen, he seems to be talking, what is he saying?"
“It seems to be saying… it seems to be saying,
Beating people,
Beat someone!
Oh shit,
He was really disturbed by us and was about to hit someone!"
