Everything happened too suddenly, and before I could figure out what happened, I was already in a prison of death.
The air was thick with the scent of death, and I almost fell to the ground.
Looking at the situation before his eyes, he was even more frightened than before.
"Why are you here!"
Zi Ye was dressed in a lavish purple dress. He grabbed me with one hand and had the other hand behind his back. He squinted his eyes at me in this place filled with the dense aura of death.
There was actually a trace of a smile in the corner of his eyes.
What are you laughing for, you can still laugh!
"Didn't you say that the people from the Underworld can't appear in the Deadly Prison? Why did you still come in? Get out! I can take good care of myself!" I looked around to make sure no one was listening in, then whispered to him.
In the end, not only did Lord Zi Ye not listen, he even pulled me into his embrace. "People from the Underworld cannot come in. Just change your body."
I was stunned and changed my body. What he meant was, he's not using his own body right now?
I pushed him away and looked him over, but I couldn't see anything different.
Zi Ye pinched my nose and smiled. "I told Wugui to go to the Blood Pond to gather a few bundles of Snow Lotus Roots and made one for me. It won't be convenient for me to move around, but it should be enough in the prison."
My eyes widened. "A lotus root body?" "Then is it like Nezha, where he can transform into three heads and six arms?"
Zi Ye gave me a sidelong glance. "Where did all these myths come from?"
"But that's what my grandpa told me when I was young. Third Prince Nezha, he turned into a three-headed, six-armed prince with a bang."
As we spoke, we emerged from the spot where I had been dragged by the black hand.
Later on, I found out that it wasn't some kind of black hand that dragged me in. It was just that the golden light from earlier was too glaring and the golden light in my eyes was too strong, causing everything to be pitch-black.
When I said I was dragged in by a black hand, Zi Ye's expression changed.
"Nezha was the reincarnation of a deity of the heavens, and everything that happened to him was arranged by the heavens." Nezha was the reincarnation of a deity of the heavens, and everything that happened to him was arranged by the heavens.
Zi Ye unenthusiastically spoke of the secrets of the Nine Heavens. It was like I was gossiping, my eyes shining.
It turned out that the Nine Heavens were a group of old deities who enjoyed watching a show. However, watching a show was not that big of a deal. What if he couldn't survive the calamities?
He became a devil just by thinking about it. In the end, he ended up following King Zhou. That means he had to change history …
Zi Ye looked at me and didn't say anything. He rubbed the top of my head with his bony fingers. "There is a law in this world. If you want to do something, it will be changed before it happens."
You're right, it was a few thousand years ago. What am I worrying about?
The death row is bigger than I thought.
I thought that as soon as I entered, I would see some kind of tragic death and corpses strewn all over the place, but we had already walked far, and all I could see were the mountains, rivers, plants, and even trees in the city.
He even left me out of breath.
"How far are we from seeing him? When I came in, Tao Tie said that I only had one day! "
I stopped on a wasteland and couldn't move. It was really inconvenient for me to hold Tao Tie's sword. I didn't know what spell Zi Ye used to hide it in some space, but this didn't affect my stamina. It was just a matter of time.
This place did not look like a prison that was in vain. He was simply trapped in a scenic area. It didn't look like a prison at all. Not even a guard.
I originally thought that after entering, there would definitely be some conflict. But now, let alone a conflict, I haven't even seen a shadow of a ghost.
Zi Ye, who was beside me, looked at me with a complicated expression. "You really should train properly. If you don't even know how to control the wind, then you'll be at a disadvantage on the long journey."
As soon as I finished my words, before I could retort, a hand suddenly appeared on my waist. My vision blurred, and Zi Ye flew up to the sky.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed, covering my eyes so that I couldn't look down.
At such a high altitude, wouldn't he fall to his death if he fell down?
I'm afraid of heights!
I tightly hugged Zi Ye's waist, my lips continuously trembling. I didn't even dare to speak anymore.
"Are you afraid of heights?" Zi Ye giggled beside my ear.
"I, I," I was afraid, but I didn't want to admit it, "who says I'm afraid of heights, I'm not afraid."
In that instant, Zi Ye had risen to a certain height and just as the wind started to blow, I immediately gave up on struggling.
Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared, I don't want to pretend to be a hero anymore!
Like an ostrich, I squeezed my head into Ziye's embrace. My eyes were tightly shut, not daring to let a single crevice open.
The fear of heights has really become a problem. Like what Zi Ye said, if I wanted to learn Wind Controlling Technique in the future, it would be a little difficult. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to overcome it.
"We're here." Zi Ye's voice came from above my head. He gently patted my back and said.
Trembling, I inched backwards. I tested it with my feet and found that it was indeed ground. Finally, I let out a long breath. Hu! I had finally landed on the ground!
However, this place did not look like a "prison", but more like a city.
Within the city.
I looked at the scene in front of me in a daze. "What, I really want it to be a bit different from what I imagined?"
There were many tall and low buildings, some that were ancient, and even some that were alien in style.
The outermost perimeter was a circle of stone houses. The brick houses were more advanced than the stone houses, but only in remote areas could they be seen. Further back was a more modern building with a lower level common residential area.
Rows after rows of buildings were displayed here in a chronological order. It was as if there was a huge architectural exhibition here.
"A thousand years of death row. They are not wandering souls. They carry with them their memories from when they were alive, and continue to live in this city until their lifespan ends and they are separated from the prison and reincarnated. "
I listened to Ziye quietly, and had a rough idea of what this death row was all about.
"Yan Nuo." Zi Ye suddenly called me.
My eyes were still on the city in front of me when I casually turned my head and replied, "En."
A pair of large, cold hands fell on my face, turning my gaze from the city to his lavender eyes.
There was a complicated look in his eyes as he said, "The dead in the death row are not truly dead. They are not under the jurisdiction of the Gods of the Underworld or any other path. But they are already dead. There is no reason for them to continue living in this world, do you understand?"
I was shocked by Zi Ye's words, but I also knew that he wanted to tell me that I can find Sister Jing's brother, but if I find him, I can't take him away. At most, I'll just wait for him to drag a dream for his.
Of course I understand that.
In the cycle of reincarnation, there was life and death in all things. Even if what had happened was an accident, no one could change what had happened.
Zi Ye was worried that I would use my emotions to forcefully release Sister Jing's little brother's soul.
"Relax, I won't be willful." Seeing that Zi Ye still didn't have the intention to open his eyebrows, I happily threw myself into his embrace. "Besides, aren't you by my side? If I really can't control myself, then stop me."
I didn't know when it started, but I had already developed a habit of relying on Zi Ye.
My lost memories hadn't returned yet, but my attitude towards him made me feel like I wasn't even there to think about it.
Maybe I was like this even before I lost my memory.
But, what kind of memory did I lose?
Is it about Zi Ye's identity?
Yes, speaking of identity, Tao Tie has always called him Your Highness, calling me Your Highness, then his position should be very high.
To what extent
I don't know.
Forget it, I won't think about it. What's the use of thinking so much, everything has its own logic. When it's time for me to know, I think Zi Ye would tell me.
The city had been deserted from the stone buildings all the way to the modern low-rise residential areas. No, there were no ghosts.
Ziye said that these houses had appeared from the time of the death row. The feeling of having the dead find their home for all ages was not to be shattered by their own resentment just as soon as they died.
Unexpectedly, this part of the underworld was rather human.
At the entrance of a small district, I finally saw a figure.
An old woman, her back hunched, turned her back to us as she walked down another street.
I jumped in shock and instinctively took a step back before crashing into Zi Ye's embrace.
"So this is the person who died in vain, she … she …"
Just as I was about to ask her if she still retained her dying look, that old granny suddenly turned her head towards me. I was stunned. Eh, she wasn't that scary after all.
The old granny's face did not have the slightest trace of the time of death, but was dry, as if she was an ordinary petite old man.
Even a smile was normal.
I heaved a sigh of relief and stood up from Ziye's arms, a little embarrassed.
Before entering, he had been quite bold. He was already so scared the moment he saw the first person, and now he was too embarrassed to meet anyone!
Just as I was about to self-reflect, Ziye slightly nodded his head next to my ear. As he spoke, his charming voice made me feel numb. "How do you think this old man came to the death row?"
There were no wounds, and his face was not fierce. However, since he had died in vain, it was definitely not his end.
I shook my head.
Zi Ye continued to whisper in my ear, "The ghosts in the death prison will age over time. This person didn't come as an old man, but after staying here for a long time, they naturally followed the rules of time and became an old man. And at her death …" Zi Ye faintly sighed, but it was quite a pity.
A layer of goose bumps rose up on my skin.
Excessive passion, in order to enjoy a moment of joy, lost life.
This was a very tactful way of saying things. Wasn't this the same as having as many P's as they pleased?
The old granny walked towards us in a very friendly manner. It was only when we got closer that I could see her clearly. How was she trying to greet me? Her eyes were filled with Zi Ye's dark purple colored clothes.
Since it's like this, he still couldn't restrain himself. This person probably left the death row in vain. Before reincarnating, he also received some punishment from the benevolence division for being a rapist.
He really could not understand how there could be such a person who did not care about his body.
I pulled Zi Ye away in the opposite direction. My speed was so fast that I was almost able to lift my legs and escape.
My man, I feel like I've suffered a loss from a single glance from a ghost!
"Can't you change your body to a more unsightly one?"
After running for a while, I finally arrived at a rather secluded location. I leaned against the wall with my flat mouth and stared at Ziye.
The Buddha said, "Sex is the sky and the air." But with Ziye's leather bag here, it was hard to make people focus even if they wanted to. How to do color is emptiness is color?
Isn't this affecting the cultivation of those who have died in vain?
Not to mention, some of the ghosts still deserved to die in vain.
Just like that old granny just now.
I believe that there isn't just one ghost like that in this prison.
The first one I ran into was an old one. I ran into a small one every time. I couldn't run away, so what could I do?!
This skin bag was too dangerous.
Zi Ye looked at me with a profound expression. With a smile that wasn't a smile, his lips moved. Just as he was about to speak, Zi Ye suddenly raised his right hand and turned it into a sword, thrusting straight towards my face!
