"This is?"

He subconsciously looked at the others, and only when he noticed that Hidechiyo's eyes had turned red did he gradually react.

The change in eye color should be a characteristic of transformation into a monster. If I'm not mistaken, Hidechiyo should have already transformed into a monster, causing this space to enter a normally dark mode.

As for why only the eyes changed while the rest of her appearance remained human—Hidechiyo had lived for hundreds of years and had perfected her skills, so isn't it normal that she could partially transform into a monster?

"Ask your relatives to wait a moment." Wuming stepped forward and separated the hugging couple. "Sikong, shouldn't you answer a few questions for me?"

How could Zhiyao not know what she wanted to ask, so he just went straight to the point.

"I come from another world and know some things about you, so you don't have to feel strange."

"Another world?" Wuming tilted his head and half-closed his eyes, trying to read some information from the face opposite.

"It means other worlds, literally." Zhiyao added.

"Do you find it convincing?" Wuming asked.

"Of course." Zhiyao responded in a matter-of-fact tone, "You are a human freak who has lived for hundreds of years and still looks young thanks to the blessing of Princess Yaobo. What right do you have to question the authenticity of me, a visitor from another world?"

Now that even this matter has been revealed, Wuming suddenly feels that it is no longer up to him to believe it or not.

On the other hand, Xiu Chiyo had no doubts at all, and it was unclear whether she was stupid or she could see that Zhiyao was not lying.

The four of them sat down one after another around the low table, and then Xiu Chiyo began to use sign language to Zhiyao. Seeing this, Wuming immediately helped translate.

"She said she was sorry for what happened just now."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhiyao smiled.

"I'm fine." Wuhui expressed understanding.

Hidechiyo nodded gratefully and continued to make gestures.

"I invited you here this time to clarify two things. First, why did you deliberately take away the spirit stone knife?"

"Because I saw the word 'xiu' on it, I knew it was the sword of Chu Yeshi, so I thought of using it to save people."

"Rescue?"

"Hey, didn't Wuming tell you?" Zhiyao was slightly surprised.

"Tell her again yourself." Wuming said.

"Alright, Crimson has gone to that place. I want to change her fate, so I must follow her in. I need weapons to protect myself there."

Next, Zhiyao described the whole story in as much detail as possible.

After listening, Hidechiyo gave a thumbs up and praised.

Wuming: "Your courage is commendable, well done... Wait, I'm translating, not praising you."

"The second thing is, Wuming said that there is a monster spirit traveling with you. Its name is Suzuka. Could you describe its appearance in detail? There is something I want to confirm."

"No need to confirm, it's the one you know, your mother Shen Fangye." Zhiyao said bluntly.

Her mouth opened slightly, surprise flashed across Xiu Chiyo's eyes. Seeing this, Zhiyao quickly struck while the iron was hot: "She's still in Yazhiyuan, why don't we go over and take a look?"

The two people had the same idea, and Hidechiyo immediately stood up.

"But there's a problem. My wife has hidden the house." Zhiyao reminded him, "You have to find a way to make it visible."

"I'll lift it when you get there," Kirie said.

"Don't, I want to see Xiu'er's skills." Zhiyao put his arm around Wuhui's shoulders and turned to Xiu Chiyo. "Xiu, can you let me open my eyes?"

Hidechiyo nodded calmly.

Zhiyao: "Then let's go without further ado... Oh, that place might have collapsed, so we need to bring some digging tools. Also, the bridge might be broken, so it's best to bring a long and strong enough rope and a rope launcher."

When leaving the room, Zhiyao found that he could not meet Wuhui again.

But this time he was in no hurry at all.

Anyway, Hidechiyo is here, so I'll ask her for help when I come back.

……

In the suburbs, the car was driving at a constant speed on the road. Thinking that it would take some time to arrive, Wuming glanced at the rearview mirror and spoke to Zhiyao in the back seat.

"Hey, that guy named Sikong in the back, you're really too brave. Do you know what the consequences of being possessed by a ghost are?"

Wu Hui lowered her head in shame, "I didn't mean to, and I've already said that there are interests involved. Sikong threatened to die..."

"It doesn't matter. It's better to shorten your life than to have the person you love not be around. I haven't settled the score with you for knocking me out without permission that day." Zhiyao retorted to Wuming in a bad mood.

"Wow, you saved the wrong person, didn't you?" Wuming snorted disdainfully.

Zhiyao responded with a cold snort and then moved his gaze to the left.

"show."

Hidechiyo turned towards him.

"Have you done any research on the Yellow Springs Gate? That's the entrance to the Yellow Springs."

Not understanding what he meant, Hidechiyo blinked and flattened out a palm to indicate that he should continue.

"I think if it's you, there must be a way to close that damn door. My wife, Wuhui's real body is being used as a disposable consumable in that place."

"Sikong..." Wu Hui interrupted, her face full of helplessness.

"I must rescue you." Zhiyao's eyes were firm. "How can I watch my wife trapped in danger and remain indifferent? There was nothing I could do before."

"But my duty..."

"Isn't it being carried out? The door has been successfully closed. Now we need to find a way to replace you. There's nothing wrong with that. As for your atonement, wouldn't it be better to atone for it while you're still alive?"

Zhiyao continued talking to himself, Wuhui sighed and decided not to argue with him.

In the driver's seat in front, Wuming suddenly remembered something and threw something over. When Zhiyao looked closely, he found that it was Wuhui's hairpin. Zhiyao was then surprised.

"Why are you here?"

"A girl named Hinasaki asked me to give it to you. She said it was something very important."

"It is indeed very important. This is Wuhui's relic." Zhiyao said, reaching out his hand to Wuhui's head, wanting to put it on her.

Remembering that he couldn't touch it at all, he retracted his hand and prepared to put it in his pocket.

Wuhui stared at the hairpin and slowly moved her face closer.

"Sikong, I feel a strong force above. Let me take another look."

Zhiyao gently placed it in the palm of his hand and presented it to Wuhui. When he saw Wuhui pick it up from his hand, he was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.

Although Wuhui couldn't touch herself, she was able to touch the hairpin. What's the principle behind this?

After looking over it for a while, Wuhui revealed the answer to everyone: "The power above is of the same nature as my power. I think it must be the remaining spiritual power of the generations of rope priestesses. Each person left a little, and slowly gathered together to form a tower."

"Why don't you try it on?" Zhiyao suggested.

Wuhui put it on as he instructed, and soon she looked at her own palms in surprise, "I feel like I've become a lot stronger. Maybe it's because my body absorbs the power?"

Xiu Chiyo patted Zhiyao's shoulder and nodded to indicate that she felt it too.

"Is it as strong as Xiao Wuhui?" Zhiyao asked curiously.

"Almost, there should be." Wuhui thought about it carefully and gave the answer.

"When it's strong enough, it can be touched." Wuming's voice came from the front.

"What do you mean?" Zhiyao was confused.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yaoboji appeared in the passenger seat and stretched out her hand. As her cheek was touched by the wet and cold palm, Zhiyao finally understood what Wuming meant.

Seeing this, Wuhui also followed suit.

Seeing the palm passing through her face, Wuhui couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that Xiao Wuhui's level is not good enough."

"A complete fog painting is definitely possible." Zhiyao said in a firm tone.

"How do you know?" Wu Hui asked.

"intuition."

Still pessimistic about the success rate, Wuhui smiled bitterly and returned to Zhiyao's body. Zhiyao stared at Yaobahime in the passenger seat, and her belief in rescuing her original body was unprecedentedly firm.

Chapter 83: [Gift]

Entering the forest, I came to the location of the Himuro residence based on my memory. There was still only messy vegetation there.

As Zhiyao said it, the next moment, Xiu Chiyo's appearance changed.

This time, it wasn't just the eyes, but everything from head to toe had undergone earth-shaking changes. Zhiyao looked at the two amber horns on Xiu Chiyo's forehead that extended forward and then bent back, and his hand reached out unconsciously.

This is a living monster. We have to seize the opportunity and touch it.

Hidechiyo looked at him in confusion, blinking repeatedly.

"Okay, let's start." Zhiyao retracted his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hidechiyo began to turn his neck to look around. After a few seconds, he walked straight in a certain direction and finally stopped in front of a tree that was thicker than his shoulders.

The next second, with a lightning-fast punch, the tree trunk broke into two pieces, and then Xiu Chiyo looked back at Zhiyao, pointing his finger somewhere.

Zhiyao walked forward, leaned in and looked carefully with wide eyes, only then did he notice that the space there was distorted and about the size of a fist.

Pretty good at hiding.

Zhiyao looked at Wuhui's face.

Their eyes met, and Kirie smiled sheepishly.

When his gaze shifted back to Hidechiyo, Zhiyao saw that she had extended her demonized hand into the distorted place. When she pulled her hand out, the distortion disappeared, and instead, Himuro residence appeared in its original place.

Zhiyao was immediately surprised and couldn't wait to go in.

In the past, Fang Xili went to Rishang Mountain several times, and now Sikong Zhiyao entered Bingshi Mansion twice.

Last time he didn't want to but had to go in. This time he wanted to go in on his own initiative. Last time he came in, he was alone and nervous to the point of seeing enemies everywhere. This time he was accompanied by two big guys, and the most powerful evil spirit inside was his wife.

Looking at this place that left a deep impression on him, Zhiyao had an indescribable feeling.

"Hurry up and get down to business first." Seeing Zhiyao looking around, Wuming poked him on the back of the head.

"I need to savor it."

"You'll have plenty of time to savor it after we leave."

"Hurry up, Sikong." Wu Hui also advised, "My real body is still waiting for you in the Abyss of the End."

Thinking of his wife being imprisoned in that place, Zhiyao put aside all distractions and quickened his pace to the front of the team.

The journey was extremely smooth until they arrived at the ceremony area. They didn't encounter any evil spirits on the way. They thought everything would go smoothly until the end, but when they entered the Mingshen Gate Corridor, Zhiyao realized that they were too happy too soon.

There was a landslide ahead, blocking the road.

Just as they were about to return to the Moon Well to get the digging tools, Wuhui pointed to the lower right corner and reminded everyone: "Look there."

Zhiyao looked over there and saw several Mingshen gates stacked up crookedly. He walked forward, squatted down and shone the flashlight inside. Then he found that there was enough space for him to squeeze through, not to mention Wuming and Xiu Chiyo who were even thinner.

After getting out of the obstacle course, the road became less difficult to walk on. Although the road ahead still looked messy, at least there was a way to get through.

As everyone came to the end of the corridor, the door leading to the Abyss stood there intact.

With great excitement, Zhiyao opened the door.

"Sikong." Suzuka stood on the other side of the entrance, smiling, "Long time no see."

Zhiyao went forward and hugged Suzuka without saying a word, and Suzuka hugged him back reflexively.

"How did you know I was coming?"

"Kirie told me." Suzuka pointed deeper.

"Your child is here too. I'll excuse myself for now."

Letting go of Suzuka, Zhiyao hurriedly ran towards the Gate of the Underworld. Seeing Wuhui's feet off the ground and her wrists tied with ropes, he felt as if his heart was stabbed by a knife.
