The two of them had been groping in the darkness for many days, found a small boat along the river, and drifted for several days before getting out of the darkness where they could not see anything.
It's just that they have never found a way to the shore. It seems that they can only float along the river to the end of the world.
"I seem to know where this is." Zi Tong suddenly spoke.
Ren Shan, who had not spoken for several days, did not react when she heard this. However, Zi Tong did not intend to play a question-and-answer game and continued.
"This is...the Netherworld, the Forgotten River."
"Forgot...forgot the Chuanhe River?" Ren Shan finally found her voice. "Then are we dead?"
"Look at the bridge over there."
Ren Shan looked over and saw that the originally boundless river suddenly created a river embankment out of thin air, and there was a large bluestone arch bridge standing quietly, with several strange characters written on the bridge.
"Naihe Bridge." Ren Shan read out softly.
Zi Tong on the side was a little surprised: "Do you know ancient characters?"
"You forgot, you taught me before." Ren Shan's voice was muffled.
Zi Tong was not surprised to hear her answer. She did say a lot of things like this along the way, and he was already used to it.
But there is still no impression of this woman in his memory. Maybe there is still a seal that has not been unlocked.
He heard Ren Shan say again:
"I'm sorry, I said something strange again."
Zi Tong, who was full of questions, didn't know how to answer for a while, so he just responded casually: "You don't need to apologize, I have indeed forgotten a lot of things. I think, since 'I' am willing to teach you this kind of difficult ancient glyphs, it means that You’re still a smart guy. Haha.”
In order to break the awkward situation, he laughed twice, but it was really not suitable for him to laugh.
However, Ren Shan nodded and said with approval: "Yes, you often praised me for my talent and intelligence. Although I am far from the Heavenly Lord, I am far superior to ordinary mortals. Even my father, who is known as the genius of the clan, is Not comparable."
"..."
Zi Tong paddled silently.
This is indeed what he would say. Could it be that he actually taught her at some point. Thinking about it carefully, although this kid Jiajia is cute, his qualifications are indeed a bit lacking. It's not like he recognized the wrong person when he went to the city to recognize his relatives.
As soon as this terrible thought came up, he suppressed it immediately.
No, calm down. One was named Ren and the other was Tan. He could still tell them apart. There must be something he didn't notice.
Zi Tong swallowed the non-existent saliva and suddenly changed the subject: "You just asked if we are dead. We are not dead, but Zeng Qi's formation is connected to the underworld. If I You guessed it right, he should be a demon or ghost."
Ren Shan was shocked: "You said Zeng Qi is not human, that's impossible."
Zi Tong didn't think too much and just explained: "Because only they can open the road to the underworld. We are here, let's go ashore."
While he was talking, the ship had already docked. Zi Tong threw down the paddle and jumped onto the shore lightly. But Ren Shan sitting on the side didn't move.
Zi Tong took two steps and found that she had not followed him, so he turned back and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
Ren Shan glanced at him, blushed and replied honestly: "I can't move."
It had been many days since they fell here, and she had come in earlier than Zi Tong. When Zi Tong came, she was already dying. Although she has also practiced Taoism, she does not have as many adventures as Tan Jiajia in the world where spiritual energy is declining, so she is just physically better than the average person.
Moreover, without spiritual power in the spirit binding formation, she is just like an ordinary person and needs to eat and drink. Although Zitong helped seal her five senses so that she would not feel hungry, the human body still needed energy. She had been sitting still on the boat before, so she didn't feel it.
Now that she was about to disembark, she found that she didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Zi Tong, who often dealt with humans, quickly understood her embarrassment and returned to the ship. With Ren Shan's surprised eyes, he carried her on his back.
"Let's go faster."
When they stepped onto the Naihe Bridge, they discovered that the bridge deck was not made of bluestone, but a thick layer of moss that had accumulated because no one had walked on it for a long time.
"Why is there no Meng Po on the Naihe Bridge?" Ren Shan asked curiously, lying on Zi Tong's back.
"It's not just Po Meng. Didn't you notice that we didn't see any ghosts or ghosts on the way here?"
"why is that?"
Zi Tong walked across the bridge lightly and replied: "Because of the war between gods and demons."
Ren Shan suddenly realized: "Yes, there is a war between gods and demons, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipates, the four races are reduced, and the human race is the only one."
"It seems that you know a lot. Indeed, after the fall of the four tribes, there were no ghosts to restrain the souls, and the ghosts did not come to this underworld. I didn't recognize it at first, but now that I know where this place is , then we can find a way out."
But Ren Shan, who was lying on Zi Tong's back, said nothing. She thought of the woman named Feng Tingting, and at the same time she thought of what she had done before, and she suddenly felt regretful.
…
Inside the church.
"Tell me, what do you master and servant want from me when you make this fuss?"
Tan Jiajia was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, surrounded by brothers Emily and Rexy.
"I hope Miss you can go and rescue the princess." Rexy spoke first.
"I hope you can let me go." Sika went on to say, he was talking about the spell that was shot into his body. This terrible spell made him dare not leave here.
"The stove on my stove seems to be on." As soon as Emily said this, everyone looked at her, making Emily feel a little embarrassed.
"Mother-in-law, you can go and do your work." Tan Jiajia held her forehead.
"Thank God, I'll leave first." Emily said and left the room. Naturally, she didn't miss Tan Jiajia's cold rejection before leaving.
"impossible."
"Why?" Of course, this was asked by Sika. Rexy naturally knew the reason for Tan Jiajia's rejection, and of course he would not talk nonsense.
Sika, who knew nothing about this, continued: "Miss, you know that I am innocent. The culprit is Rexi. If he hadn't left a mark on you, I would not have attacked you at all. , know that you are so beautiful..."
"Hey, what does this have to do with me?" Rick Xi Leng, who was thinking hard about how to persuade Tan Jiajia, suddenly heard his eldest brother frantically blaming him, and interrupted his flattery with a cold face.
What he got was Sika's scolding: "Shut up, you treacherous villain."
So the two brothers started to quarrel over each other's words, and later even started fighting.
Tan Jiajia left this place of right and wrong long before the war between the two escalated.
