Then his broad and powerful hands firmly grasped her soft hands, and the warmth from them immediately made Qingying feel at ease.
It seemed as if I could hear his breathing and heartbeat through this warm palm.
In the darkness, even the heartbeat is so clear.
Qingying finally dared to take a step and walked forward with confidence.
In contrast, Chen Yin seemed so calm from beginning to end, without even a sweat on his palms. The endless darkness around him could not frighten him in the slightest.
Qingying couldn't help but ask, "You... aren't afraid at all?"
"What are you afraid of?"
“I’m afraid of the darkness here, and the unknown in the darkness.”
Chen Yin thought for a moment and said seriously, "If you ask me if I was scared the last time I came here, I was definitely quite scared."
"But last time I came, I even came alone."
It won't be like today.
If you are scared, there are still people who can hold your hand and talk to you.
Tell you you're still alive.
Qingying's eyes shook, and she couldn't help but gently clench his hand.
"You can actually continue teasing me...just like usual."
"What? Are you addicted to masochism?"
"No." Qingying said shyly, "In this case, it would be better to say more."
"If you keep silent, it will cause problems, right?"
"It's okay even if you just give me your usual flowery mouth... just this once, I won't mind."
Chen Yin laughed.
"W-why are you laughing?"
"I laughed at how all girls look the same when they are scared."
"I'm not afraid!"
"Here, being afraid is not something to be ashamed of."
Qingying grabbed his hand and bit it lightly, as if venting her dissatisfaction.
The bite was so light that not even a tooth mark was left. Instead, there was a faint fragrance.
"I'm not insulting you." Chen Yin said calmly, "Just think of it as me praising you for being cute when you're scared."
Qingying turned her head away angrily.
"You're not complimenting me at all."
In fact, Qingying was also very curious. He had always been a carefree and mercenary person most of the time, so why did he become so silent here?
It seems like he doesn't want to speak actively.
But she eventually suppressed the thought and didn't ask.
Because, for the first time, a glimmer of light appeared before her eyes.
Qingying's eyes suddenly widened.
It was a gem emitting a faint amber glow, quietly suspended in the air.
It became the only source of light in the endless darkness.
But even though that glimmer of light was so weak, it made people want to cheer and jump for joy.
Just by seeing the gem, Qingying felt her breathing gradually become faster.
"...We're here." Chen Yin said softly.
One Hundred and Twenty-Four, Mayfly Mountain
"This is... the place you mentioned?"
Qingying couldn't help but move closer and stare at the gem with blinking eyes.
Chen Yin nodded: "This is the end."
"Strictly speaking, it is also the deepest place in the entire Cangzhe Ancient Domain."
Although the ancient domain of Cangzhe is very large, there are also countless dangers and opportunities on other roads.
But compared with this place, they are all dwarfed by the vastness of the world.
...This is the most dangerous place in the entire Cangzhe ancient domain.
The long and boundless darkness before was enough to discourage almost 99% of the monks.
Not to mention, where they were about to enter.
"Luoluo, it's time to get up."
Luo Luo, who had been sleeping on Chen Yin's back, rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly woke up.
"Sir...are we there yet?"
"We're here." Chen Yin put her down softly, and then handed her a small glowing ball of light.
"Qingying and I are going to enter this secret realm. You wait for us here with this lamp."
Luoluo blinked and said somewhat dejectedly: "Can't Luoluo go in with the Master?"
“…I don’t really want you to see what’s inside.”
Chen Yin's eyes were half closed, as if he was talking to himself.
Seeing Chen Yin's strange look, Luoluo couldn't help but move closer and kiss him lightly on the face, then rubbed him with her furry ears.
"Yes. Luoluo will wait here obediently for the master to come back."
Chen Yin rubbed her gently, and took out a lot of snacks and drinks, as well as several novels.
"If you're bored, just hide in the void and take a nap. Wait for us to come out."
Qingying couldn't help but frown: "How long will we be inside?"
"I don't know." Chen Yin said honestly.
"Maybe a few hours. Or maybe a month or two. We won't know until we get in."
Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with his ambiguous statement, Qingying had no choice but to believe her.
After settling Luoluo, Chen Yin slowly placed his hand on the gem, then extended his hand towards Qingying.
Qingying hesitated for a moment and extended her hand to him.
Strands of soft light gradually enveloped the two of them.
"Before you go in, I have one last question."
When the light wrapped around the two people's bodies, Qingying asked again:
"Achen...did he also walk through such a dark and terrifying road alone to get here?"
Chen Yin didn't answer her, but just closed his eyes gently.
“…You’ll find out once you get in.”
The light flickered, and the figures of the two people gradually disappeared.
-
When Qingying opened her eyes, she was stunned.
The mountains are picturesque, the waters are clear, the clouds are rolling, the springs are green, the pines and cypresses are blooming, and the birds are singing.
She appeared among the cliffs with elegant and beautiful scenery.
The air that enters the nose is so fresh, and the spiritual energy in the air is so rich that it is almost saturated. This kind of scenery and Jedi is simply an incomparably handsome and beautiful fairy mountain.
A blessed mountain and land large enough to support a top-level immortal cultivation sect.
At first, she thought she had entered some kind of illusion. So she forced herself to calm down and asked the system immediately: "System, is this a secret realm?"
"Yes, that's right..."
The system also said with some suspicion: "But it's strange. This place is not an illusion or a formation, but a real place."
Qingying was stunned.
...Such a beautiful fairy mountain was moved to the secret realm? Even the spiritual energy did not lose a bit?
What a masterpiece this is.
"Not only is there no information related to this place in the plot records, I can't even sense the existence of the system mall here."
The system's voice became more serious: "Be careful, this place is a bit weird. If something goes wrong, I may not be able to help you."
Qingying nodded in understanding, and her eyes gradually became alert.
There was no one around, and it seemed as if she was the only one strolling leisurely on the fairy mountain. Occasionally, she could see wild animals that had awakened their intelligence, from monkeys to squirrels, and they all seemed to understand human nature and hid from afar, watching her.
From time to time, you can see waterfalls and cliffs, with verdant pines and cypresses and strange rocks. Just this natural scenery makes people feel good.
Especially the abundant spiritual energy here made Qingying doubt whether she had ascended to the real fairyland.
Even in the place with the most spiritual energy at the Wuling Sect's mountain gate, it is less than one-tenth of what's here.
For monks, this is a veritable treasure land.
Not knowing where to go, Qingying walked along the mountain path all the way to the top of the mountain.
Although the environment here is very suitable for meditation, the loneliness of being isolated from the world still makes her feel a little sad.
After walking for more than half an hour, Qingying finally reached the top of the mountain and saw a fairy cave on the top of the mountain from afar.
In addition to the cave, there is a huge platform on the cliff.
As soon as Qingying reached the top of the mountain, she was surprised to find that the platform was full of people.
There were hundreds of people, men, women, young and old, all sitting cross-legged in unison, with their eyes closed in meditation.
Qingying's eyelashes flickered slightly, and her eyes slowly swept across the faces of those people.
Suddenly, her expression changed drastically and she cried out, "Achen!"
Among the crowd, there was a boy monk with a baby face who looked young. He was sitting cross-legged in a clean Taoist robe.
On his waist, there was a jade token of the Wuling Sect.
Just when Qingying was desperately rushing towards Qingchen, a hand grabbed her tightly, followed by a deep male voice as calm as water.
"No need to go there."
She turned her head and saw Chen Yin with a blank expression and a slightly deep look in his eyes as he said, "...It's just a shadow."
"Everyone here is just a shadow."
"How can it be!"
Qingying said with a trembling voice: "Ah Chen! Ah Chen is right there! He is not dead!"
After saying that, she broke free from Chen Yin's arms and rushed forward again.
She walked to Qingchen's side and was about to open her arms to hug the boy, but her body passed through him as if she was holding a cloud.
Falling to the ground, Qingying raised her head in confusion and stared blankly at the boy's face.
"Achen..."
"I said it." At this time, Chen Yin also slowly walked to her side.
"They are just shadows."
Qingying was silent for a long time before slowly asking, "What on earth is going on?"
"You'll know soon."
