In the unfamiliar environment of the underworld, Sun Renyi did not dare to use his true energy, but just ran forward quickly.
The disappearance of his senior brother made him uneasy. Although he still doesn't know the reason, Sun Renyi is always uneasy in his heart.
Ye Gufeng usually talks little. Apart from completing his work in the sect, he always quietly studies the art of Qimen Escape alone.
Among all the people in the sect, his age ranks behind Sun Renyi and Pan Fengtan.
However, he was very kind and humble to everyone, and he was never arrogant or impatient.
Even for unstable elements like Zhou Kai who don't play by the rules, Ye Gufeng always faces them with a smile and never gets angry.
He usually goes out by himself, but informs the sect of his destination and return time in advance, and he usually returns on time.
Now that he had suddenly lost his whereabouts for many days, Sun Renyi felt something was unusual.
He imagined a variety of good and bad things that might happen, but none of them dominated. After all, Ye Gufeng's whereabouts have not been discovered yet.
Sun Renyi knew that Yu Xiaolong would definitely follow him, so he left a tracking talisman with Zhuang Junkai so that Xiaolong could follow him as soon as possible.
Facing the endless wilderness, although Sun Renyi was not afraid, he was worried about running into trouble and wasting time.
Therefore, he disguised himself and walked quietly along the way. Many ghosts passing by did not know that he was a cultivator in the earthly world.
After walking at high speed for five days, Sun Renyi had already penetrated deep into the wasteland. There are no ghosts here anymore, and except for the occasional Yin beast, there are no other moving objects.
On the fifteenth day, Sun Renyi finally found traces of Ye Gufeng at the bottom of a hillside.
The breath is everywhere in the underworld, but it is all Yin Qi, and occasionally there are traces of practitioners.
But in this place, Sun Renyi was keenly aware of the traces of breath left by Ye Gufeng.
He squatted on the ground and picked up a small stone. On it was Ye Gufeng's intentional aura.
There is a deep scratch on the pebble, which is impossible to leave naturally in the wilderness, and the countless pebbles around it do not have this scratch.
Obviously, Ye Gufeng knew that someone from the Tianxin Sect would follow, so he didn't know under what circumstances he would leave such secret traces.
Looking at the pebbles in his hands, Sun Renyi became increasingly worried.
If everything was normal in Ye Gufeng, this would never be the case. It must have been an extremely inconvenient time, or someone else was present.
Just as he was about to put down the pebbles, he suddenly discovered another clue.
This deep scratch should have been left by fingernails. But on both sides of the scratches, the stone is not as smooth as it is. There seem to be some additional scratches.
Sun Renyi picked up the stone and brought it close to his eyes, frowning and examining it carefully.
Sure enough, there were a few subtle marks on both sides, which you wouldn't know without looking carefully.
For Sun Renyi, this I Ching graphic is very familiar.
Shui Shan Jian is the thirty-ninth hexagram of the Book of Changes, and according to the Bagua combination, it is the sixty-seventh hexagram. The upper hexagram is water, and the lower hexagram is mountain.
The lyrics of the song are: "Heavy rain pours down on the ground and the sky is full of snow. Travelers on the road are miserable and cold. It takes a lot of effort to drag mud and water. I am impatient when things don't go as planned." This is a Xiaxia hexagram in the Book of Changes, and is also a bad sign.
Sun Renyi was shocked at this point of his calculation. To be on the safe side, he calculated it again, but the result was still the same.
Why would Ye Gufeng leave such a message? Could it be that he was already in danger at this time?
Sun Renyi was restless as he thought about it. After destroying the pebbles, he accelerated in the direction indicated by Ye Gufeng.
He continued to run forward at first, but later he simply activated his energy and flew close to the ground, regardless of the risk of exposure.
On the tenth day, in a mountain col, he found another message left by Ye Gufeng. The content was basically the same as the last time.
??????????????? Sun Renyi followed the prompts and continued moving forward without stopping, speeding up along the way. He was already impatient to know Ye Gufeng's current situation.
It was like this until the twentieth day, when Sun Renyi, who was flying, suddenly discovered a lonely ghost wandering aimlessly on the ground.
Although this is in the underworld and ghosts are everywhere, it is an unusual phenomenon to see ghosts in an area that has been deep in the wilderness for twenty days.
The lonely ghost was just an ordinary ghost and was unaware of Sun Renyi hovering in the air.
According to common sense, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary ghosts to appear here, but why do they really appear in my eyes now?
Sun Renyi continued to move forward with doubtful thoughts, and soon found a few more below.
Such an abnormal phenomenon made him puzzled and at the same time heightened his vigilance.
But as he moved forward, Sun Renyi found that the situation was getting worse and worse. Ghosts on the ground could be seen everywhere, and there were even a few practicing ghosts.
Although their moral skills are very low and they cannot detect Sun Renyi, the abnormal phenomena indicate that the situation ahead is very unclear.
For safety reasons and to not attract attention. Sun Renyi landed on the ground and walked forward as an ordinary ghost.
I met many ghosts along the way, but they just took one look at it and ignored it.
On the second day, Sun Renyi suddenly noticed that the Yin Qi in a large area ahead was very strong.
He carefully observed the surrounding situation while holding the Taoist talisman in his hand.
When climbing over a small hillside, the scene in front of him made Sun Renyi frown.
The visible range ahead was covered by thick black mist, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.
He didn't know what was there, but judging from the formation, he couldn't get close easily.
Looking at the Dao Talisman in his hand, Sun Renyi gritted his teeth and did not try it. He was afraid that if any danger was caused, the gain would outweigh the loss. Looking at a staggering ghost not far away, Sun Renyi suddenly thought of an idea.
He walked over casually and asked cautiously: "Brother, what is that over there? It looks so scary."
The other person is a young ordinary ghost. Although he looks short, he looks very strong.
He looked at Sun Renyi and said, "Are you just here too?"
Sun Renyi nodded and said: "Yes, I just came here and I don't know anything, so I asked you. Come on, take this."
He took out some Yin coins and handed them over. The other party's expression immediately changed. He took them and put them in his arms. He said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know where that place is. It's impossible to walk through. It seems... there seems to be a layer. It’s like something transparent is blocking it.”
Sun Renyi asked: "Then where are you going here?"
"Where to go? You can't go anywhere!"
The other party said depressedly: "I was originally in a far away place, but I came here inexplicably a week ago. I wanted to leave, but there was always a force that kept me going. I couldn't leave the area, so I just hung around."
"What? Came here out of nowhere?" Sun Renyi looked at him doubtfully.
"I was walking, and suddenly... my eyes went dark and I didn't know anything. When I opened my eyes again, I was here, and there were dozens of ghosts at the same time." The ghost smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Sun Renyi held his chin and thought, he really couldn't understand why he responded like this.
According to him, the ghost seemed to be brought here by the formation.
However, it is just an ordinary ghost, what is the point of putting it here?
"How many ghosts are there in total around here?" Sun Renyi asked.
"Uh... there are probably more than a hundred places I can walk in this area, right?" it thought for a moment and said.
"Have you seen any weird ghosts recently?" Sun Renyi asked again.
"A weirder ghost?"
It looked at Sun Renyi in confusion and said: "They are just ghosts like you and me, there are no others."
"Then you plan to stay here forever?" Sun Renyi looked around.
"I don't know... Anyway, it seems like something is preventing me from leaving this area, so I just stay here." The ghost smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Sun Renyi really couldn't understand why this happened. There was no reason for this to happen.
While he was thinking, the ghost suddenly stopped talking and stood there blankly.
The already empty eye sockets became even more dull, standing straight and motionless like a robot.
Sun Renyi blinked and looked at him, wondering what the other party was doing.
At this time, a faint layer of gloom suddenly floated over from a distance in the dark sky, gradually covering the sky above his head.
Sun Renyi sensed something was wrong, made some calculations and quickly ran away.
