I thought to myself, what on earth is this old man trying to do? Will someone come to rescue us in half a day? If he is just stalling for time, the old bastard is not a fool. He can't let you delay for a few years in half a day, right
The old bastard frowned and looked at the old ancestor for a long time, then suddenly sneered: "I know what tricks you are thinking of, but I would like to learn your ultimate method. Okay, I will give you another half day, but when the time is up, there will be no next chance!"
"Yes, I understand." The old ancestor said and closed his eyes again.
Shen Bing pulled me and walked towards the bridge, whispering to me, "Isn't the old ancestor scared silly?"
"Nonsense." I glared at her. "I guess he's chatting with someone."
"With whom?" Shen Bing asked with eyes wide open.
I looked at the house over there, frowned and said, "I won't tell you."
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to listen." Shen Bing pouted.
Another half day passed, and this time the old ancestor opened his eyes early, smiled at the old bastard and said, "I will tell my great-grandson a few words and give you an answer right away."
The old bastard sneered a few times, seeming to not care at all.
The old man stood up and walked over, holding my hand and walking to the other side of the bridge. I was almost scared to death. We have to cross the bridge, and we have to take Shen Bing and the others with us. He smiled at me and shook his head, and walked to the bridge head. There was a bright red line between here and the shore. I guess that was the dividing line between the Yin and Yang worlds. Crossing this line would lead us to the world of the living.
"Xiaofeng, do you still remember that you have the Qingming Arrow formed by Xuanzhen's soul on you?" The old ancestor asked me in the lowest possible voice.
"Of course, how could I forget this?" I thought to myself, my ancestor wouldn't want me to use this to deal with the old bastard, but in the underworld, the Qingming Arrow cannot be used.
"Actually, the strategy I thought of before was to use the Qingming Arrow, but it was too dangerous, so I didn't dare tell you, so I went to the stone tablet to lure Yu Songyu. But at present, apart from this method, we have no other way to go, so we can only take a risk and give it a try."
I was stunned and asked, "Can the underworld use the Blue Sky Arrow?"
The old ancestor smiled and said, "Of course the underworld cannot be used, but once you cross this red line, you will reach the human world. And I deliberately delayed for a day, because now is the full moon night on earth, so I can use the Qingming Arrow. However, I am afraid that you will be sucked into the human world and won't be able to find a place to return to, and your soul will be scattered." As he spoke, he frowned, with a look of worry on his face.
I suddenly realized what was going on. I couldn't help but slap my forehead and cursed myself for not thinking of it. So I said to my ancestor, "You don't have to worry about me. I can save the underworld from danger. Even if my soul is scattered and can never be reincarnated, I have no complaints. Just tell me what to do."
The old ancestor sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the Xi family will be extinct in your generation. If I can't hold you back, I will try my best to keep you in the realm of the dead and rescue you." After that, he whispered that he would use his sleeves to hold me and prevent me from being sucked into the depths of the human world. He would use the brief opportunity to fire the Qingming Arrow to kill the old bastard and then pull me over. But he was not sure if he could hold me back, so this was the danger he was most worried about.
"Zhen Yangzi, have you guys discussed it? I, the Taoist priest, have no patience anymore!" The old bastard shouted impatiently from the other side of the river.
The old ancestor turned around and said loudly, "Okay!" Then he winked at me and said loudly, "Xiaofeng, go back to the human world. The old ancestor will block them for you!" As he spoke, he kept blinking.
I immediately understood, grabbed his sleeve and shook my head, saying, "I'm not going back. If the old man doesn't leave, then I won't leave either!"
