"Every time..."

Zhiyao sighed meaningfully.

Just as he was thinking about what to say next, he was interrupted by Fengshi.

"Sometimes, I really envy Senior Shui Yun. Like me, she fell in love with a man at the end of her life, but that man didn't leave her. Instead, he stayed by her side until the very end of the ceremony and gave her a talisman. Thanks to the amulet's protection, she avoided death and safely passed through the long time in the cage. And many years later, that man returned and released her from the coffin cage, taking her away from this place."

When saying the above, Fengshi's eyes were full of longing.

"Well, it's just a coincidence..."

Fengshi stood up slowly.

"Thank you for taking time off from your rest time to listen to me. Good night. That's all for today."

After saying that, Fengshi left quickly without giving Zhiyao a chance to say more.

Unexpectedly, after leaving, she did not return to her room as usual, but quietly came to the back door away from the doll room and walked out from there without making a sound.

She couldn't fall asleep at all now, her mind was full of things that happened when she was alive.

She missed her parents, her sister, everyone in the village, and Aso.

She tried hard to recall those people's faces, and over time, the sense of loss in her heart became more intense than ever before.

Not knowing what to do next, nor how to relieve the negative emotions in her heart, she began to wander aimlessly around the entire Rishang Mountain.

The bottom of the mountain, the abyss of Qi, the unknown forest, the cave in the womb, the cemetery, the house of affinity, the palace of the underworld, the auspicious shrine, the taboo valley, the lake on the other side, and finally the deepest part of the water palace.

Standing on the horizontal surface, she stared blankly at the gate of the underworld at the deepest part of her feet, and her mind kept replaying every detail of these years.

The more alone she was, the more oppressed she felt. After a long time, she returned to the side door of Katashiro Shrine from the deepest part of the Water Palace. Just as she was about to enter, she suddenly noticed someone in the forest in the distance, and then her legs moved uncontrollably towards that side.

As the distance got closer, she finally saw clearly that it was a long-haired girl about seventeen or eighteen years old.

At the same time, the girl also looked towards her.

He must have discovered her. She appears to be a human with psychic abilities.

However, even when she saw her approaching, there was no fear in the girl's eyes.

She wasn't surprised.

Because the girl looked as pale as death, her gloomy expression clearly expressed to the outside world the purpose of her going up the mountain the next day.

After the eye contact ended, the girl continued to walk forward, and Fengshi followed silently.

When she came to a big and sturdy tree, the girl unfolded the folded stool, stepped on it and threw the rope to the trunk part above.

He was about to hang himself, and Fengshi activated his vision without saying a word, and then knew everything.

Seeing the girl putting a rope around her neck, she subconsciously reached forward but made no sound to stop her.

Because she is different from Zhiyao, she is a priestess of the Nuya clan, and persuading people has never been within her job scope. Her job has always been to understand the pain of those who seek death, accept their emotions, and then guide their souls to the other side.

Even though at this moment Rishang Mountain has lost the path to the other side.

The stool under her feet was kicked away, and the girl died. Feng Shi stared blankly at the body hanging in the air, and in a short moment he became dazed again.

Then, accompanied by a start, he suddenly woke up.

Has it been so many years?

Flood, wandering, begging, rising sun, practicing, the crow maiden, Oshira, Aso, disaster.

It turns out that so many years have passed.

It turns out that so many years have passed.

At that moment, Fengshi was completely immersed in endless emotion.

After that, unknowingly, a certain idea gradually took shape in my mind.

……

……

……

It's time to get things back to normal.

Chapter 197: [Choice and Miracle]

The next evening, when Zhiyao was about to go patrolling in the mountains, Fengshi stopped him.

"Sikong, don't go today."

Fengshi must have some plans, Zhiyao thought, and asked at the same time: "If you don't go, what are you going to do tonight?"

"Play cards." Feng Shi replied immediately, "I haven't played that in a while, is that okay?"

Zhiyao immediately responded with a smile.

"What's wrong? I'll listen to you, humph."

In a blink of an eye, several hours passed and soon it was half past ten in the evening.

After glancing at the alarm clock next to him, Fengshi put down the cards in his hand, although he was still unsatisfied, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

The game is almost over, and now it's time to say goodbye.

Even though she was reluctant, she and they could not be together forever.

"Can you please accompany me to a place, everyone?" Feng Shi stood up slowly.

"Where?" Wu Hui asked.

"Water Palace."

"Water Palace?" Bai Ju was a little concerned. "Why do you suddenly want to go there?"

"Because... Anyway, let's go there first and tell you then."

After saying that, Feng Shi turned around and walked towards the door. The three people in the room looked at each other, and then hurriedly followed him.

Youzhi Palace, basement floor, pier.

Feng Shi: "You three wait here for me, I'll go upstairs to open the door."

Zhiyao called her.

"I remember you need a key to open the door?"

"Yes, I am ready."

About twenty seconds later, the sound of a door opening was heard from above, followed by the sound of a heavy mechanism turning, and the gate at the exit in front of the water area slowly rising.

Zhiyao stared at the foggy surface of the Bi'an Lake outside, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Do you two feel..."

He was about to ask Baiju and Wuhui for their opinions on this matter, but just as he opened his mouth, he noticed Fengshi appear at the corner of the stairs out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately pursed his lips.

"lets go."

Feng Shi came to Zhiyao and said something lightly, then he was the first to step onto the wooden boat. After that, as several people boarded the boat one after another, the wooden boat began to move forward slowly.

Why does the boat move forward automatically when there is no one rowing?

Under normal circumstances, Zhiyao would definitely ask for clarification, but at this moment, he was not in the mood to do so. His eyes were fixed on the back of the dark witch standing at the bow of the ship.

The fog became thicker the further forward they went, and soon it reached the point where they couldn't even tell the direction. Zhiyao's heart was beating fast, and just as he was about to ask for directions to make sure this was the right direction, Fengshi's voice suddenly rang out.

"Coming."

As soon as the voice fell, the vague outline of a building began to appear in the distance. Then, as the whole picture gradually became clear, the surrounding fog began to thin.

A few minutes later, the wooden boat docked steadily at the pier.

"I haven't been here for a long time." Looking around, Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh.

"It's been even longer for me." Bai Ju continued, "It's been many years since I last came here and was still alive."

"This is my first time here." Wu Hui said, then pointed in a certain direction, "Is the Gate to the Underworld over there?"

"Yes, that's right," Feng Shi replied. "After all, you're also the witch guarding the Yellow Springs Gate, so you can sense the gate's approximate location." Then he changed the subject, "Here, what do you think?"

"It's quite good." Wu Hui smiled sweetly. "It's much better than the Himuro residence. The gate to the underworld in the Himuro residence is underground. If you don't prepare lighting in advance, you can't see anything."

As they chatted, they unknowingly arrived at the door of the main hall.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Zhiyao saw Kuangnu and Jienu inside, one on the left and one on the right guarding the door leading to the deepest part.

"Why are you two here?" Zhiyao expressed curiosity.

Surprisingly, neither of them answered him, but simply moved to the left and right to make way in the middle.

Next, Fengshi pushed open the door.

Unlike what I saw in the past, the inside has changed a lot; just like the scene in the dream, every place within sight is rising water.

Zhiyao stepped into the water and found that it was almost knee-deep.

"What exactly are we doing here?" He asked cautiously with a nervous mood.

Fengshi did not answer immediately, but continued to walk forward. Seeing this, Zhiyao followed him closely until Fengshi stopped near the center of the water and turned back.

"Sikong."

"Well?"

"I want to ask you a favor."

"what?"

Zhiyao asked subconsciously, and then heard Fengshi answer: "I hope you can see me."

"Aha?"

Zhiyao couldn't help but be stunned.

"You once fulfilled my wish in another way," Feng Shi continued, "but I hope the method is closer to my original idea, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Thinking that there must be more to it than that, Zhiyao immediately decided not to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.

"No problem, but what are you going to do after the viewing is over?"

"Saying goodbye to you." Feng Shi said without hiding anything.

In an instant, Zhiyao was dumbfounded and there was a loud noise in his head.

"What did you say……"

"I'm going to say goodbye to you," Feng Shi repeated. "Next, I'm going to resume my duties as Dazhu and restore this place to its original state."

"Fengshi, is that true?!" Baiju was extremely shocked.

"Huh?!" Wuhui was also shocked. "Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"

"This mess can't just sit there. If I could have performed my duties again, at least two-thirds of these people wouldn't have died. I'm the Great Pillar, and I must fulfill my original duties," Feng Shi replied matter-of-factly. "The Pillar must remain in the coffin to suppress the Yellow Springs Gate. I'll be inside forever, and as a result, we probably won't see each other again. Therefore, I've decided to say goodbye to you all here."

Seeing the burning eyes of the people opposite him, especially the worry in Wuhui and Baiju's eyes, Fengshi continued:

"It's indeed cold and dark inside, but I won't feel lonely because I have beautiful memories of being with you. In exchange, I will pass on my feelings to you. In this way, I can leave with peace of mind and drift alone to the end of the other side."

The leader of Higashin Mountain is ready to fulfill his duties again. What a great decision this is. Kirie couldn't help but want to applaud him.

However, Zhiyao next to him had a dark face and his arms were trembling slightly.

"Are you... serious?" Zhiyao gritted her teeth, her voice seeping out from between her teeth.

"Yes, seriously." Feng Shi said calmly, "Because we really can't go on like this."

"So you decided to leave?"

"It can't be helped." Feng Shi continued in a calm and descriptive tone, "I'm also reluctant to leave you, but now is the time to say goodbye."

"Do you have to be so heartless?"

"Feel sorry……"

The two looked at each other, and gradually, Zhiyao smiled, a very helpless smile.

"Haha, I really am... I'm so sorry. It's been so many years since the disaster happened, and you were indifferent for so long, pretending not to see it. Only after meeting us did you suddenly change your mind."

"Sikong, don't say that." Wuhui quickly advised.
