Snake Father, Don’t be too Pushing - C213
However, what disappointed me was that the Messenger shook his head and said with a bitter face, “Grandma Meng said before she left that you entered the Underworld with a Yang body, and that you attracted the soul of a living being. The possibility of it returning to your body is high.”
“You are also living together with the Yellow Spring Yin Division, so as long as you are alive and return to your true self, you might still have a chance at survival.” The Messenger obviously didn’t agree, and by the time he finished, he was already in despair.
I waved a hand at him and fell heavily back on the bed, the cloudy eyes of Grandma Meng flashing before my eyes.
In terms of profoundness, I would be inferior to her in another hundred years.
In this world, the strangest thing is only the human heart. Grandma Meng has seen everyone’s hearts, so how easy is it to deceive me?
From first making me doubt her, to letting me know that my mother is her incarnation, then playing the love card to get me to agree to solve the Underworld’s problem, then following me to look at the snake bone along with the matter of summoning spirits.
She just didn’t want to tell me that she was really my mother, the old lady who had already lost her life once.
Her tears hurt a little, but they were gone.
Sometimes, being too long was also a form of pain.
I’ve only lived twenty-one years, and I haven’t even reached that yet, but I feel as if I’ve lived for over ten thousand years.
The people around me left me again and again, leaving me to bear the loneliness alone.
I got up and walked out of Grandma Meng’s room. It was a mess outside. The ghosts were scattered in all directions, and the Messengers were chasing after them. The yellow spring water was surging and emitting a faint sound.
“Hurry up and run.” A ghost ran past me and shouted at me, “Didn’t you hear the words from the Yellow Springs? Ten Halls Neither King is trapped, Grandma Meng is dead, this Underworld is finished.”
After the ghost finished speaking, it hurriedly ran away.
Unfortunately, at the end of the bridge, those people who had yet to drink Grandma Meng’s Elixir quickly turned around, paddling their boats as they prepared to cross the Yellow Springs.
However, the moment they entered the yellow springs, the surging river water immediately dragged them into the water, and they were instantly swallowed by the water.
On the other side of the bridge, the ghosts that had drunk Grandma Meng’s Elixir were being led towards the underworld step by step.
“Faster!” The Messenger who was talking to me in Grandma Meng’s room grabbed the chain and wrapped it around a ghost that was already wrapped in water. He shouted at the ghost that was running towards the Yellow Springs beside the Bridge of Helplessness, “Don’t enter the Yellow Springs, don’t!”
It was a pity that there were so many people. Who didn’t want to go back?
The Viewing Platform could kill people’s hearts, but who didn’t have a last sliver of worry in their hearts?
Even Grandma Meng herself had a trace of concern, so how could she hope for others to truly have no worries after death?
I strolled up to the Bridge of Helplessness, where there was another shadow. She was holding a bowl of soup in her hand.
I reached out to take the bowl of soup. I suddenly thought of the day I went down to the Underworld. When she passed the bowl of soup to the golem, she also had a desolate expression on her face.
I don’t know if she knew she wouldn’t be able to come back, or if she thought I wouldn’t.
My numbed heart slowly calmed down. I poured Grandma Meng’s soup into the bucket and then quietly looked at the Yellow Springs. I slowly raised my hand and spread my ten fingers.
Wisps of black gas began to fly up like hair, instantly turning into trillions of strands.
“Grandma Meng!” “Grandma Meng!” The Messengers suddenly shouted loudly towards the Yellow Springs, “Grandma Meng is still here, the Underworld is not without an owner, how can you be so impudent?”
With a thought, I slightly curled my finger tip and billions of black air rushed towards the souls that fell into the underworld.
“No!” “No!” The ghosts screamed, but were dragged back to the Bridge of Helplessness by the black gas.
The yellow spring water gurgled and many pale faces surged out from within as they fiercely stared at me.
“Lock all the ghosts in the Underworld for today and wait for the Ten Halls Neither King to come back to deal with it.” I whispered to the Messenger who was walking up to me.
After that, they looked at the pale and vicious faces of the Yellow Springs on the surface of the water. Indeed, they should hate them. The Yellow Springs was originally meant to trap them.
Especially when they saw so many people coming and going, reincarnated, and yet they could only stay at the bottom of the ice-cold Yellow Springs.
Standing up, I jumped off the Bridge of Helplessness and headed straight for the Yellow Springs.
The Messenger at the side cried out as the Soul-Reaching Chain quickly flew towards me. However, in midair, the Yellow Springs fiercely leaped up and struck the Soul-Reaching Lotus away.
“Keep an eye on the Underworld.” I landed on the water and smiled back at the Messenger.
He was also worried about me, right? The water surface beneath his feet slowly spread apart, and a ball of water rapidly swam within the water.
The living water was stronger, it seemed like Ten Halls Neither King would not be able to hold on for long.
As the water escaped, the water under my feet slowly parted, and my body slowly descended before finally falling to the bottom of the river.
The surrounding ghost servants and ghosts were completely silent as they watched me walk forward along the Yellow Springs.
Due to fear, the Yellow Springs separated. I followed the Yellow Springs and walked forward step by step.
Grandma Meng left herself in the evil realm for me and even gave me all of her power. No matter if she is my mother or not, I will still repay this favor, at least until I return from Gu Zu’s place.
Eight hundred miles into the Yellow Springs, the last time I walked was at the bottom of the river. This time, the flowing water filled the entire Yellow Springs, so I’ll go down with the water and look at the flowing water in the walls around me.
Eight hundred miles of yellow sand, eight hundred miles of ghost, eight hundred miles of living water.
They witness me going down the river, and they witness my helplessness.
When he reached the lowest point, Ten Halls Neither King was still leaning against his back with his hands behind his back, looking at me with an astonished expression on his face.
I raised my hand and stretched my fingers. A few wisps of black air flowed out and forcefully pulled the water wall and the other ghosts out.
The look in Ten Halls Neither King’s eyes changed, while the King Cang Bodhisattva’s eyes revealed pity, his lips moved slightly as he chanted a Buddhist prayer.
I slowly knelt down in the middle of the yellow sand and heavily kowtowed to Ten Halls Neither King.
They could be considered grandma Meng’s colleagues, but they are also my uncles. For the sake of the Underworld, they were the first to stand guard here, bearing the pain of living water piercing through their bodies time and again.
Now that Grandma Meng didn’t come back for me, I felt sorry for them.
And what they were after, was not a single person, but the world life that they spoke of.
I don’t have that cultivation level, but I know that this kind of person is worth bowing to.
After bowing, I slowly stood up. Grandma Meng said that they wouldn’t be able to hold on for long, and I wasn’t confident in being able to deal with the water. After glancing at them, I went back to look for Gu Zu.
Since I didn’t see Gu Zu at the bottom of the eight hundred kilometer Yellow Springs, and also didn’t see the Wei Chengnian who helped her guard the Yellow Springs, then I’ll go with the flow.
Once again on the Bridge of Helplessness, the ghosts that were entangled with the black gas were all moved away. The ghosts that came from behind all behaved themselves.
I walked through the center of the Yellow Springs with my ten fingers wrapped in black air. All of the ghosts in the Yellow Springs were pulled out by me.
They saw the chaos earlier, and a sound came from the Yellow Springs, bewitching the ghosts to escape. The reason why I kept walking forward was to intimidate the ghosts that came after me, and to keep the ones in front of me awake.
Very few people know that Grandma Meng and I went to the land of evil thoughts, but not long after I returned, the Yellow Springs was in turmoil. I don’t believe that they were only well-informed.
It was just that this evil realm was related to the vital essence of the Yellow Springs and the ghosts that roamed the Yellow Springs all year round.
All the way up, the Yellow Springs was cleared by me.
When I reached the end of the Yellow Springs, I saw a child sitting by the water’s edge. His feet were splashing the water as he smiled at me. “You’re here.”
I walked over and looked at the water under his feet. I sat beside him: “Where’s Gu Zu?”
“Ha ha!” Wei Chengnian chuckled, and in a blink of an eye, he looked at me. “Qin Chenmo, since you know something has happened to Gu Zu, and you still dare to come to the Yellow Springs Source, aren’t you afraid of me?”
“What are you afraid of?” I reached out and knocked him on the head. He was a poor kid, though.
Anger flashed across Wei Chengnian’s face, he slapped my hand away and growled at me: “Do you think that all Ten Witchcraft s eat for nothing?”
“There are no more Ten Witchcraft s.” I retracted my hand and broke his daydream, “You’re the only one in your Wu Xian Sect, and you’re still thinking about the Ten Witchcraft.”
“Wei Chengnian, so many years have passed, but your family has still maintained its heritage, do you think other people are like you?” I chuckled. Now that the world is full of profits, making money is the way of the king. Who would remember the things left behind by their ancestors?
“Then what are you doing here?” Wei Chengnian’s face was filled with anger, he bellowed at me: Even if the Yellow Springs is destroyed and the heavens and earth are destroyed, you can still live, why have you come to find Gu Zu again?
