C258

I took the note and lit the red candle. A small flame danced in the room.

The slip of paper that Mu Xuenan had given me was spread out on the table, and a zigzag path appeared in our line of sight.

Mu Yu had just taken a glance when she saw the questions on the map. She pointed to the road Mu Xuenan had drawn for me with an arrow, hid a smile, and said to me unkind: "This is the Death Valley, she wants you to go your own way."

My heart chills. Even though I know that there is a problem here, being said by someone personally is still unavoidable sadness and anger.

I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything. I drew a path, indicating that Mu Yu should take this route.

According to the map, that road led to the mountain, and in that mountain there was a pattern shaped like a door. I thought it was a door that led out of the woods, so I thought about going into the mountain.

Mu Yu shook her head and said in a low voice, "This door isn't for the exit, it leads to the Avici Infernal Realm. We can't enter the mountain."

I frowned and continued to look for various routes to take out of the map, but it was a pity that anything that could be seen on the map and could leave this place, except for the two that we had just denied, was heavily guarded. Wanting to leave would be even harder than ascending to the heavens.

I don't believe that these people were set up to guard against me, because I don't have the ability. I need so many people to guard me.

Thus, it was obvious who the guards were going to release.

I swept a glance at Mu Yu, who had a pitch-black expression, and felt a little heartache.

No wonder she was so honest and didn't go out even after a thousand years.

"Why don't we just go through the gates and risk it all?"

I pointed to the nearest checkpoint.

Mu Yu frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "That won't do. If we go through that trial, it's equivalent to us jumping into Mu Xuannan's hands. There won't be a good ending." After pausing for a moment, Mu Yu suddenly raised her head and looked at me, "Yan Nuo, we might have another way, but there's one thing that we need you to do."

I was stunned. "What is it?"

Mu Yu said, "I know of a path, it is not on this map, but it is the safest path. We can go through it."

Of course I would, but there was nothing in it that needed my help. Thus, I didn't say anything and continued to wait for Mu Yu to finish speaking.

She paused for a moment and looked outside. There was no one, so she said to me, "That is the passage that His Highness, Prince Zishan Ming, used to open here. I don't know where it leads to, but we don't know where it leads to.

When I heard Zi Sang Ming's name, I felt as if something had heavily hammered into my heart, causing me excruciating pain.

It took him a while to suppress the pain.

He asked Mu Yu, "How can you be so sure that I can find him? I don't have the ability of Sang Ming, and it's much further than what he can find out."

Mu Yu interrupted me, "But you have his child, so you need this condition to find the seal." She pointed to the map and continued, "Mu Xue Nan also knows that that place is the most dangerous place you can be. The map didn't even mention that place."

I didn't want to touch anything else about him, but it seemed like that was the only way to go.

I clenched my teeth and nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try."

Mu Yu acknowledged me before putting away the map. She extinguished the light and carefully left the room with me.

We are on the second floor, so if we want to leave, we can't leave through the main entrance. There are so many rooms outside, and if we go through them, we'll be discovered.

So we had to go upstairs, which was not very high, and the second floor was the top floor. Above that were all the attic rooms, which were used for stacking things and cages for pet pigeons.

When I stepped out of the door, I subconsciously looked across from her. Separated by a courtyard, I could see the flickering candlelight in that charming room. Two figures were intertwined together. Through the window, one could feel their blood swelling.

It's just that for others, it's also the burning of desire, and for me, it's just a simple increase in my blood pressure, so I feel extremely uncomfortable.

I quickly turned my head away and followed Mu Yu's footsteps as she walked up to the pavilion.

Mu Yu first went to the top of the building and tried to pull me back, but my feet slipped and I actually broke the window of a room with a pet pigeon inside. The pigeon inside was instantly frightened and opened its mouth to howl, but Mu Yu immediately threw a fireball into the room and before the pigeons could scream, they all turned into roasted pigeons.

I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat. When I reached Mu Yu's side, my clothes were all wet.

Mu Yu made a hand gesture of relief before whispering to me, "It's fine, don't be nervous. The happiness these people have in the meat forest isn't something that can be disturbed by such a small movement."

I nodded and took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves.

I don't know why, when I kicked into the pigeon cage, I actually had a moment in the hope that Zi Sang Ming can come out.

Mu Yu drew a complicated array formation on the rooftop. I had seen the array formation diagram in the book and knew that she was drawing a map to track something, but this array formation should have an eye. It uses an object that is closely related to the object they are looking for as a primer and then starts the entire array.

After Mu Yu finished drawing the array, she left a hollow spot in the middle and passed a sharp knife to me. "It's your turn."

I took the knife and gestured with my hand. I was not sure.

After some hesitation, Mu Yu said to me, "This Formation Aperture doesn't want your blood, but your child's. Because he hasn't been born yet, your blood is mixed together. Worse comes to worse, it will fail. It doesn't matter."

I paused, then finally gritted my teeth and drew a line on my finger.

A single droplet of thick blood dripped from his finger onto the center of the formation.

Suddenly, the formation on the ground jumped up, and as if it had come to life, it turned into a butterfly and flew two times in the air. Then, it turned around and flew out of the building.

Mu Yu's face instantly lit up with joy. "There's a way! Come on, follow it. "

From the building to the edge of a mountain, we had walked almost half the distance on the map, which was the closest route we could find.

Because I couldn't use any spells, Mu Yu had to carry me all the way while running. Mu Yu was exhausted, and the moment she left the building, she started to complain, "You look really thin, why are you so heavy!"

Perhaps it was because I felt that I could put it aside after leaving the building, but my mood was a little better than when I was inside. I smiled and said a little embarrassed, "Aren't I two people here?"

Mu Yu had no other way and couldn't put me down either, so she could only continue to tease me. I also discovered that Mu Yu's mouth was really strong, she practically never stopped talking about anything from when she was young to when she was growing up, including the time when she was still a lotus flower and saw two frogs in the pool loving each other.

Although it was a little noisy, it couldn't stop the happiness in Mu Yu's heart.

Finally, the butterfly's speed dropped from the sky until the sun reached its zenith. Mu Yu's heart gradually calmed down as well.

"Yan Nuo."

Mu Yu called me.

I nodded to show I was listening.

Mu Yu paused, then said to me, "Thank you."

I was at a loss for words. "Why are you thanking me? We can be considered to have helped each other. Besides, I'm the one who should thank you after you carried me all the way here."

We are all people who share the same goal. No matter what, it is a form of pleasantries. We naturally know that if we run away, we won't be anywhere. We have to give up our lives.

The butterfly stopped.

We reached the edge of a hillside, and the sight of a mountain full of peach trees gave me an illusion.

Why is this place so similar to a mountain of peaches?

Mu Yu didn't know about the peach mountain. Seeing so many peach trees, she was just momentarily shocked. She then said, "Wasn't this a locust tree before? Why are they all peach trees now?"

My heart tightened and I subconsciously looked towards Mu Yu with a puzzled expression. "What did you say?" This was a locust tree? "Then these peach trees …"

Mu Yu looked at my surprised expression and knocked on my head. "What are you thinking about?" Why was the locust tree so surprised? I haven't been out for a long time, so I might have remembered incorrectly. Besides, the world is still full of vicissitudes. "

After Mu Yu said this, she formed a hand seal with one hand and tried to test the direction of the breath in the air.

I stood by her side in a daze, lost in thought. That's right, why am I so shocked?

It was just a few trees. Peach trees were nothing special in the underworld.

He was a person of high status, so how could he plant a peach tree with his own hands?!

Very quickly, Mu Yu ran to a place around fifty meters away from us and cried out in alarm, "Quickly come, we've found it!"

I hurried after him.

Compared to other densely planted peach trees, this place could be considered an open space. There were only three peach trees in the middle and a triangle surrounding the city.

Seeing this, I suddenly remembered something. While we were capturing the skinwalkers, I went to my house near Shen Tuo. On the mountain of their house, there was also a patch of forest.

This was actually a passage that could travel through space.

Then where does the passageway on the mountain leading to Shen Tuo's father's house lead to?

"Wait a moment, I'll see if I can open it."

Mu Yu said as she turned the little knife in her hand. Then, while I wasn't prepared, she cut my finger and dripped a drop of blood. She giggled and said, "It won't hurt if people aren't prepared."

After which, he continued on with his work.

I took a cold breath alone. It was strange that it didn't hurt.

Just as I was holding onto my fingers and thinking about whether I should use it or not, Mu Yu's barrier has been opened as though it's open and we can pass through it immediately, a cold wind suddenly blows behind us.

I was behind Mu Yu, and after being blown by the wind, I unsteadily landed on her body. The barrier that was just opened immediately disappeared, leaving the formation useless.

"Where are you two going?"

Following this gloomy voice, two big, sticky hands patted me and Mu Yu's shoulders.

"It's none of your business where you're going!" Mu Yu's formation was destroyed, but she was already on fire. She pulled me up from the ground with one hand and her long sword materialized. With a straight sword, she thrusted towards the person behind her …
