Because of the flood of fresh water, the Yellow Springs water no longer nourished the mana pearls and flowers on both sides of the river.
"You want to see?" Wei Chengnian seemed to be treating me well, seeing my face filled with pity, he shook his head and laughed: "You said that you have been a human for 21 years, and that you have enough of holding yourself back, you don't dare to say anything."
As his voice fell, with a light shake of his palm, countless flowing water gushed out from the Yellow Springs and gathered at the center of Wei Chengnian's palm.
I didn't think that the water that gave Ten Halls Neither King such a headache would only come from Wei Chengnian's hand.
In his heart, he was even more curious about his origins. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the ball of water.
Following that, he lightly waved his hand towards the Manju Sha Hua on the shore. He did not notice any changes in his appearance, nor did he notice any changes in the Yellow Springs. The withered manju Sha Hua on the two sides of the river immediately became lush and verdant again.
"Do you want to see flowers?" Seeing me so surprised, the joy on Wei Chengnian's face grew even stronger, and he chuckled: "Five hundred years has passed since the flower began, and we will never see each other again, would you like to have a look at this beautiful scenery?"
"Can you?" It was rare to see him acting so friendly. The child's face was filled with yearning, as if he had thought of something.
He smiled, innocent as a child.
I was still waiting for him to finish, but then I heard a faint singing, melodious but somehow familiar.
After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that Huanhuan used to sing the same song in the fish pond where Qi was drowned.
I have never been able to find the origin of this song, but the Grey Immortal said that this was a song of the Yellow Springs, and that it lured ghosts into the Underworld.
But this was already the Yellow Springs, how could there still be such a song?
Just as he was thinking, he saw Manju Sha Hua slowly rise up. Countless leaves were flying all over the sky, while a pole inside slowly rise up.
When it reached a certain point, the leaf slowly fell into the water, and the song became louder and louder, as if it had reached a climax.
Wei Chengnian slowly closed his eyes, as though he was immersed in the song.
I watched as the manna beads on both sides of the river became a bare stick. Then, a blood-red flower bud slowly appeared on the branch before slowly spreading open. Each flower was as enchanting as a demoness. As they sang, a light breeze blew, causing the enchanting flowers to sway in the breeze.
As far as the eye could see, eight hundred li of the Yellow Springs, with a deep water wall, buddhist flowers blooming on both sides of the river, singing softly and a gentle breeze blowing — —
Even the human world did not have such beautiful scenery. It was truly like a fairyland.
I was used to seeing the chilliness of the Yellow Springs, but I never thought that I would actually be able to see this kind of chilliness.
"Let's go." After a long while, Wei Chengnian slowly opened his eyes and walked down to the Yellow Springs.
He was still a child, but he was tense and his back was straight, as if he was not the one who was laughing at me, yelling at me, taunting me about the return of the Emperor, and the indifferent question about whether I could see the flower of the Cayman Pearl.
As she turned to leave with him, she saw that in the distance, Grandma Meng's incarnation had suddenly appeared amidst the sea of crimson flowers. Beside her was a blurry figure.
"Humph!" Wei Chengnian glanced at them from afar and lightly exhaled.
The gentle breeze immediately turned into a strong gale, and time seemed to speed up. The Manju Sandstorm that had just bloomed suddenly broke away from its pole and started to dance in the air.
Wei Chengnian's expression did not change at all, he started to walk down the river, in the midst of the mana and sand, his figure seemed extremely lonely, as though he was in extreme pain, but he still walked down step by step.
That mana ball, Sha Hua, landed on his body, and didn't disappear, instead fusing with his body.
In the rain of flowers, I could no longer see Grandma Meng and that figure, but to be able to stand up after Wei Chengnian left, he must not be an ordinary ghost.
After Wei Chengnian left, the ghosts within the yellow springs were still obediently kneeling.
Although I can't see, Meaning of Life and Death can feel it.
Wei Chengnian walked one step at a time down to the bottom, and the eight hundred kilometers of Underworld Man-Pearl Sha Hua opened. Amidst the rain of flowers, he took out all of the living water and swallowed it into his mouth.
When we reached the end of the Yellow Springs, Wei Chengnian and I directly walked in front of the Ten Halls Neither King and watched them silently.
When Ten Halls Neither King saw me, his face was filled with joy, but when he saw Wei Chengnian, all of their faces were filled with pain, while Ksitigarbha had a helpless look.
"Come out!" Wei Chengnian laughed coldly and extended his hand towards the water wall.
No matter how calm the Ten Halls Neither King was, even if they had seen through life and death, their life and death was related to the Yellow Springs Underworld's life and death, and also the lives and deaths of all the people in the world.
However, there was the Water Essence behind them, and they didn't dare move too much, so they could only sit there and stare at Wei Chengnian and me.
I tried my best to look at them with a peaceful gaze, but Ten Halls Neither King and Ksitigarbha could understand that the Divine Beast didn't look at people's faces when it heard them, and immediately got angry when it saw Wei Chengnian reaching his hand in.
Furthermore, it had a good divine beast, and had been guarding the water wall for three hundred years with a living water essence, so it was more or less resentful. Now, Wei Chengnian, a little kid, actually dared to provoke it.
But weirdly, when it pounced over, it actually directly pounced out of the water wall and landed at my feet. It was stunned for a moment before howling towards the sky like a madman.
However, when they saw that Wei Chengnian was still reaching his hand inside, they became anxious, afraid that he would pounce at him again after injuring Ksitigarbha and Ten Halls Neither King.
I quickly reached out to hug it, but just as I held it, it bared its fangs at me. I was amazed. Didn't they say that listening to a divine beast can hear all things in the world?
This good guy or bad guy couldn't even tell. What kind of divine beast was he? He only knew how to bite and pounce on people.
Afraid that it would ruin the big boss Wei Chengnian, he quickly used the Meaning of Life and Death to bind it tightly.
Fortunately, the Meaning of Life and Death was not so easy to break free from.
I then wrapped them into a ball and threw it to the side, while watching Wei Chengnian's hand enter bit by bit. Then, I extended my hand over Ten Halls Neither King's head and fiercely grabbed onto the Water Essence.
The intelligence of the Water Fairy had been awakened, so it naturally knew of Wei Chengnian's terrifying aspects. It struggled as if its life depended on it and continued to transform.
Unfortunately, the one it was facing was Wei Chengnian, the Wei Chengnian who could make a ghost soul of the Yellow Springs forever kneel down, the Wei Chengnian that even Grandma Meng was forced to kneel down to in fear.
No matter what shape it transformed into, Wei Chengnian still held onto it tightly and pulled on it.
In the end, the Water Essence seemed to have given up all hope. It let out a high-pitched cry and instantly dispersed into billions of small water droplets. They quickly merged into the Yellow Springs and tried to escape.
Ten Halls Neither King no longer had any restrictions and came out immediately shouting at me, "Hurry and use the Meaning of Life and Death to bring it back, don't ever let it merge with the Yellow Springs again."
I looked at Wei Chengnian and did not move.
When these eleven people saw Wei Chengnian again, their expressions became even more baffling. They actually also felt a little afraid, relieved, and a little helpless.
"Withdraw!" Seeing that the Water Essence had escaped, Wei Chengnian laughed coldly, and hooked his finger lightly.
The Water Essence was instantly drawn out from the River Styx. This powder had its own advantages and disadvantages.
They were floating in the air, unable to gather and unable to escape. They couldn't risk it all and were constantly shaking.
Wei Chengnian slightly sighed: "If you guys were to obediently stay in the Yellow Springs, eating a bit of my soul would not be a problem, but you guys are actually being bewitched, and want to mess with the Yellow Springs, and cause me to change so much, then forget it."
Following that, he opened his mouth slightly and sucked all the water droplets in.
Seeing that the Ten Halls Neither King's legs were slightly weak, he immediately pulled the slightly better looking Ksitigarbha to the side and whispered, "Do you know where this person came from?"
"You don't know?" King Zang looked at me strangely.
I shook my head and honestly said, "I don't know. He said that he could settle this matter, so he came along with me."
"It's good if you don't know." Ksitigarbha let out a breath of relief and asked me, "Did he say that he could solve the problem of land of evil thoughts?"
"You know about this?" It was now my turn to be surprised. He knew about that matter and was still guarding the Water Essence.
It was like a bomb that was about to explode, but he was forcing someone with a gun to not shoot.
Once the bomb exploded, he would die just the same.
"There are some things that shouldn't happen before." Ksitigarbha laughed.
With a stretch of his hand, he picked up the sound that I had wrapped up on the ground. Then, he undid the Meaning of Life and Death and brought it into my arms, "Listening sounds can hear all things in the world, but it is not afraid of Wei Chengnian. Do you know why?"
Just as I was about to shake my head, I suddenly thought of something. Ignorance and fearlessness.
In other words, she hadn't been able to figure out Wei Chengnian's origins even after listening to him carefully.
