The black shadow really stopped, and I even felt him turn around and look at me.
There seemed to be a familiar gaze, and then the black shadow smiled: "Don't you want to know where Bai Zimo went? Come with me!"
Does this dark shadow know that I'm looking for Bai Zimo?
Not many people know about Bai Zimo's existence. Who could it be?
But the black shadow didn't give me a chance to think, and walked forward quickly.
I followed him closely, turned several turns, and came to an open field.
Then, candlelight gradually lit up all around, illuminating the place.
But as the light got brighter, I saw an indescribable scene.
This place is like a circular square. Except for a few passages, the walls of the cave are full of small grids.
There are cages of different sizes in the grid, and inside the cages are different types of snakes and other invisible things, some of which look like human ghosts, small and timid.
When the light first turned on, they were frightened and huddled in a corner of the cage. When they got used to it, they all put their heads close to the edge of the cage and looked at me.
I felt like I was being stared at by countless eyes, and I got goosebumps all over my body.
When Yun'er next to her saw this scene, she also screamed: "Master, these are the souls of people who died unjustly, and so are those snakes! How come there are so many of them?"
I don’t understand either. Why did the black shadow bring me here to see it? How come these things are locked up here?
I couldn't figure it out, so I asked, "Why did you bring me here? Why are there so many innocent souls here?"
The black shadow sneered: "These are all thanks to Bai Zimo. If he hadn't caused trouble back then, none of these people would have died. There are also snakes. Look at these, they are all extinct snake species. Bai Zimo himself is also Snake, why does he want to be a god and let all species sacrifice for him?"
Sacrifice?
I don't believe what this shadow said at all, how could Bai Zimo do such a thing.
Besides, he has been sealed for a thousand years, how could anyone sacrifice for him!
And judging from Bai Zimo's behavior of saving the villagers, it is impossible for me to believe that he would harm others and his own kind for his own selfish purposes.
"Where is Bai Zimo? I have to ask him personally! Otherwise I won't believe that he did these things!" I asked, looking at the black shadow with firm eyes.
"He has recovered his true form and returned to the position of God. Just give up. You will never see him again in this life!"
The black shadow said, waving his hand as if he had unlocked a certain seal, and then pointed to a cage in the corner: "That is Yinhua's soul, you can take her away!"
It turns out that Yinghua’s soul is really here. Who wants to collect so many innocent souls, and what does he want to do?
And this dark figure was very aware of my every move. Not only did he know that I was looking for Bai Zimo, he also knew that I was looking for Yinhua. Who was he? Why do I feel a familiar feeling?
"Who are you? Why do you know so much about me?" The more unclear I am, the clearer my mind becomes. I know what I want, and I believe that Bai Zimo has not left me.
But he just said in a deep voice: "As long as you know that I am a person who is doing your best!"
Hum, apart from my adoptive father, I can’t think of another person in this world who only wants to do my best.
I didn’t want to waste time with him, so I walked over and picked up the cage containing Yinhua’s soul and said to him: “Don’t use such words to deal with me, it’s really good for me, just take me to find Bai Zimo, otherwise don’t block the way! "
After I finished speaking, I ignored him, picked up Yun'er and walked away.
A heavy sigh came from behind, and this sigh seemed to have been heard somewhere.
I thought about it and suddenly remembered that when I went to school to check my grades, I heard this sigh when I passed by the ancestral cemetery at the entrance of the village and bowed. It was him.
I quickly turned around, but there was still his figure behind me, and I couldn't help but feel dumb.
It seems that there are many unknown things about Yunjia Village, and there are many places that I don’t know.
For example, below, I never thought it would be like this.
There are so many innocent souls sealed here, no wonder it's as cold as an ice cellar down here and so gloomy.
I don't know how to break the seals of these innocent souls. Even if I break them, I don't know how to arrange their whereabouts.
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until I find Bai Zimo and then let him find a way to deal with it.
Yinhua's soul was asleep in the cage, looking very weak.
I don't know why, but looking at Yinhua's soul, I suddenly felt that something was not right.
The village chief said before that when he came to the ancestral hall to get incense and candles to pay for Yinhua's funeral, he learned that Yinhua's soul was imprisoned.
But that night, Yinhua gave birth to a daughter in the coffin.
According to her adoptive father's wishes, Yinhua just lost her temper at first, woke up, gave birth to a child and then died.
If that were the case, how could the village chief see Yinhua's soul being locked up here before she really died?
There was a loophole in what the village chief said, but it was a pity that I didn’t carefully consider the details at the time.
Now that I think about it, it’s very problematic that the village chief led me here. What did he want to do?
Seeing that I was dazed, Yun'er tugged on my sleeve and said, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Only then did I react and said to her, "It's okay, I'm just thinking about what to do next."
"I heard that black shadow just now say that Bai Zimo is still alive? And he has become a god again?" Yun'er looked at me in confusion and asked seriously.
I nodded lightly, led her as we walked, and said, "Well, he was sealed before and not dead, but I don't know if he has become a god now!"
Yun'er didn't seem to understand, and frowned and said: "He can really carry it, and he can survive. Master, you have to be more careful!"
"What are you being careful about?" I turned to look at her, not understanding why she said that.
But Yun'er stuck out his tongue: "It's nothing. You will know it later. Now let's go get that box first. That thing is very important. In order to keep it safe, you have placed several restrictions on it. You are the only one." Only when you come in person will the restrictions be lifted."
Yun'er said, pulling me deeper and deeper.
I suddenly remembered that the village chief said that I was the only one who could enter the deepest part of the ancestral hall because I had the key. Did the village chief also know that there was a box under the ancestral hall?
Did he lead me down here to let me open some restrictions and get the box?
If this is the case, then the village chief is really not simple.
I suddenly didn't want to get that box anymore. After all, it wasn't my thing. Besides, Bai Zimo's life and death were unknown now. As for things related to him, I thought it would be better to do it after finding him.
Although the dark figure just now said that Bai Zimo killed so many innocent souls in order to become a god, then I can believe it!
So I said to Yun'er: "I'm not going to take out that box just yet. You can keep it for now until I find Bai Zimo."
Yun'er pouted, a little dissatisfied, but she didn't insist. She just said: "Master, I think what the black shadow said is true. Bai Zimo may have really harmed many people, otherwise you wouldn't have done that back then. Do......"
"What did I do back then?" I couldn't help but look at her. This little guy must know something, but he just refused to say it.
But she shook her head: "Master, it's better for you to think of these things slowly by yourself. I was still young back then, and I didn't know the ins and outs of many things, and I couldn't explain them clearly!"
I was speechless. How could I remember what happened a thousand years ago? If I wasn't worried about Bai Zimo, I really wouldn't want to care about these nonsense.
The most hateful thing is that they clearly know a lot of things and like to mention them in front of me, but they don't tell me the truth when they mention them. Now even a child wants to play tricks on me.
Well, since you don't tell me, I really won't ask. Anyway, I don't care about the past.
Even if I really was the mountain god I once was, I am just a mortal now, a student who is about to enter college. What does the past have to do with me?
But at this moment, I suddenly felt a hint of Bai Zimo's breath, and then heard a hissing sound.
I know that hissing sound.
Eighteen years in a dream! You can already tell who it is.
"Bai Zimo, where are you?" I shouted in the direction where the hissing came from, and quickened my pace to run in that direction.
But the voice became weaker and weaker, and later it was almost inaudible.
But I still moved forward based on my intuition. There were many detours here, like a maze. I really don’t know who was so bored before and built the bottom of the ancestral hall like this. What was it used for?
Want to rebel?
It doesn't look like a place where soldiers can be trained. I can't understand the thoughts of those ancients.
However, the next second, I actually saw a huge white snake in a cave.
At this time, he was covered in wounds and was vomiting out the letter with his head raised, his eyes full of unwillingness.
I know those eyes all too well.
It's Bai Zimo!
Sure enough, he didn't leave, but why did he become like this? Who did it?
I no longer cared about anything else, and handed Yinhua's soul to Yun'er to carry, and rushed towards Bai Zimo's cave, but when I reached the cave entrance, I was bounced back.
I fell heavily to the ground, and it took me a long time to realize that there was a barrier here.
Could it be that Bai Zimo was sealed again?
Seeing his painful look, my heart ached. I crawled towards him and shouted to him with all my strength: "Bai Zimo, what's wrong with you? Why is this happening?"
I didn't know if he could hear me, but he saw me, and a hint of surprise flashed in his black and white eyes.
He seemed to be trying hard to transform, but he tried his best but failed. The blood on his body had dyed his white skin red, making him look miserable.
I never dreamed that he was just following my adoptive father for me to see where those things were placed and why they ended up here and ended up in this situation.
I was so distressed that I could no longer express my feelings, and my tears fell down like rolling beads.
He did not leave me and fly away alone, but seeing him like this, I would rather that he had left me and gone to live a fairy life as my adoptive father said.
I climbed up and bumped against the invisible wall again and again. I didn't care about the pain or injury. I just bumped into it again and again. I couldn't break the seal, but I wanted to save him.
He felt my pain and struggled hard, stretching his head as far as possible. I saw tears filling his eyes.
I never thought that someone as powerful as him would shed tears. I had to find a way to save him. No matter what, I couldn't watch him suffer here.
At this moment, a voice sounded from behind: "You can't save him, all this is because of you..."
