Zhang Youde was shrouded in the cold and pale moonlight at this moment, as if he was suddenly illuminated by a spotlight on a dark stage.
Extraordinarily dazzling and eye-catching.
this moment!
Zhang Youde is the most eye-catching kid in the audience.
And deep in the mist of the human face, there are many "rustling" sounds that continue to sound, bringing the last trace of excitement to the dead and decaying world of the dead.
at the same time!
Under the illumination of the big moon eyeball, there are also some decaying figures, wandering in pursuit of the moonlight.
In the world of the dead, moonlight is a rare object, and anything interesting will attract many wandering souls.
Zhang Youde was in the center of the moonlight. He carefully considered Brother Maggot's travel invitation, and a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes...
to be honest!
If before, I would have followed Brother Maggot on a casual trip without saying a word.
Then on the road, we aimlessly looked for things to play with to soothe our rotten hearts.
but now!
Zhang Youde thought about the scenery and prosperity of the Xuanwu world.
Who knows, the next mission will come soon...
You can go to another world by yourself, there is no need to continue exploring and persevering in the vast world of death.
Anyway, in the world of the dead, the wandering souls are explored everywhere, and the number accumulated year by year is very terrifying.
Whenever a dead soul discovers a different scenery in the dead world, all the dead souls will riot and go there.
The work of exploring the world of the dead has to be done by the souls of the dead.
As for Zhang Youde now, he has to consider the big issue of missions in other worlds.
So Zhang Youde shook his head: "No, Brother Maggot, I'm still waiting for my Supreme Brother, and I can't leave for the time being."
"oh."
The old Taoist had a look of regret on his face. He looked up at the big moon hanging high in the sky, memories revealed in his cloudy and rotten eyes.
"Oh, it's your Majesty. He is a boring person."
"Especially his caution, which is very heart-rending."
"The most important thing is that I have memorized all the old tricks. It's scary."
The old Taoist expressed his intuitive impression of the Supreme Being, with a hint of deep fear in his eyes.
visible!
The Supreme Being often told the old Taoist the secrets of the Cautious Heart Sutra.
Zhang Youde nodded with deep understanding on the side, with a trace of tears flashing in his eyes.
He remembered that Taishang brother seemed to want to punish him to copy the Cautious Heart Sutra?
How many thousands of times?
He, Zhang Youde, doesn't dare to think about this problem at all now, how terrifying!
"I can't help it. I'm too stubborn and rigid. I don't have any fun for myself."
"I spend my whole day studying the Cautious Heart Sutra, as you know..."
"By the way, Brother Maggot, where have you been playing in the past tens of thousands of years since we last parted? Do you have anything interesting to share?"
The old Taoist man and Zhang Youde lay face to face on the ground. The black earth beneath them was soft and comfortable.
The old Taoist thought carefully: "No, apart from the dirt, there was only fog along the way. But my trip was very happy."
“I’ve met a lot of people and had fun playing with them.”
"Haha... Then you can't do it, Brother Maggot, I have a lot of fun things here."
Zhang Youde approached the old Taoist's ear with a mysterious face, and recounted his experience in the world of Xuanwu in the moonlight.
It was a telling story from beginning to end, with nothing hidden, even his own twisted laws were revealed... "Actually!"
In this ghostly place of the dead, there are no conspiracies, no intentions of harming others, no need to be on guard against others...these words are all nonsense.
Because there are no interests in the dead world, there are naturally no entanglements of interests or conspiracies.
At the same time, because the concept of time in the dead world is extremely vague, after wandering in the dead world for a long time, the soul of the dead will become extremely decayed... until it completely forgets itself and loses all memory. Finally, the soul of the dead will dissipate and be reincarnated.
As for the souls reincarnated in this way, if they can be born smoothly, their talents will generally be at the level of monsters!
You can try asking for immortality.
In the world of the dead, the final destination of the soul is usually to forget oneself, forget memories, and be reincarnated.
but!
Among the endless numbers of dead souls, there will always be a few special oddballs who have always lived as thorns in the dead world, but will not be reincarnated.
They can't forget the fundamentals!
Even if their own memories are being worn away by the years, even if they have forgotten their own names, they have been waiting.
Every person who is a nail in the dead world has an unquenchable wish that they would rather keep waiting for to be fulfilled.
And the old Taoist Brother Maggot is one of the nail-biters in the dead world!
The same is true for Zhang Youde...
Zhang Youde will not leave the Supreme Being, and the Supreme Being will not leave Zhang Youde. This is the eternal bond between the two, so Zhang Youde is determined to be the thorn in the underworld.
Zhang Youde slowly talked about his experience in the world of Xuanwu. The veteran Taoist was also very happy to hear it. He clapped and praised from time to time. It was a fresh and interesting picture...
The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
but!
When Zhang Youde said that Taoist Ziwen died...
The old Taoist who had become rotten and stupid suddenly said: "He is not dead. Taiyi, train your mind, save the suffering, and go up the mountain."
"?"
Zhang Youde suddenly became alert and felt that Brother Maggot was not simple: "Brother Maggot, what's the explanation?"
"And do you know Taiyi Jiuqingtian?"
"Looking at your outfit, you are a Taoist."
In the deepest part of the old Taoist's turbid eyes, there are still some memories that have been smoothed away and forgotten by the endless years.
but!
These memories have been so damaged that only a few words remain.
The old Taoist frowned slightly, his memory was almost wiped out and he couldn't remember.
"I don't know, Brother Maggot, I just suddenly thought of it and said it."
"But just this little bit, I have even forgotten my name, let alone Taiyi Jiuqingtian."
"Oh fine!"
Zhang Youde didn't ask any more questions. The time that the old Taoist Maggot stayed in the Dead Realm was unknown, but there was no doubt that he was a nail in the Dead Realm and a member of the same Taoist group.
Zhang Youde continued, telling the story of his own experience.
now!
The old Taoist listened carefully and was extremely quiet.
Even the Black Earth would emit a stream of black smoke next to Zhang Youde from time to time, proving that he was also listening.
And the countless empty faces in the face fog did not smile, but were quiet.
Even the big moon eyeball in the sky has its pupils always on Zhang Youde, and the listeners are listening to Zhang Youde's extraordinarily fresh experience.
These experiences are something new and worth listening to in the dead world where there is only death and no life.
It can be encountered but cannot be sought.
As time passes slowly...
There is another figure, looking for the moonlight and slowly squirming over!
only!
This one is an insect, a caterpillar for short...
His whole body is beautifully colored, his body limbs and wings are covered with scales and hair, and he is one meter in size!
It looks very impactful, and people with trypophobia may not be able to bear it and fall into shock.
The caterpillar squirmed and came to Zhang Youde and the old Taoist. It stared at the two of them with compound eyes, a little naive and a little decadent.
Then he spoke: "Hey, brothers, long time no see. Are you imitating my walk?"
"Want to take a quick trip?"
"I, the caterpillar, can teach you how to wriggle forward faster for free. It's very fun."
Zhang Youde: "..."
Old Taoist: "..."
After Zhang Youde and the old Taoist looked at each other, the old Taoist showed a bright smile and accepted it happily: "That's great, Brother Caterpillar."
The old Taoist didn't have any objections. He was originally going to travel, and he was naturally very happy to have someone to accompany him.
Zhang Youde thought for a while and declined: "Brother Caterpillar, let's do it next time. I have to wait for my elder brother to return."
Caterpillar: "Well... Your Majesty, that is a terrible person."
"I still haven't forgotten his cautiousness. It's very magical."
"hehe!"
Zhang Youde could only smile reluctantly: "By the way, Brother Caterpillar, let's listen to my novel story together."
"You must know that this is Xuan Wu's adventure in another world."
The caterpillar nodded, and there was some intelligence in his compound eyes: "That's a good feeling."
Then……
The caterpillar squirmed next to Zhang Youde, getting a little closer to Zhang Youde.
However, Zhang Youde felt his hands itching unbearably when he looked at the gorgeous caterpillars. He suddenly reached out and touched it, ready to test the feel.
only!
The moment Zhang Youde's palm touched the caterpillar, his palm went straight through him, as if the caterpillar didn't exist, like a phantom.
Then Zhang Youde refused to give up and waved at the caterpillar twice, and his palms passed through it.
Zhang Youde looked at his hands and was a little confused...
After being stunned for two seconds, he realized that his physical body was still there.
There is blood, flesh, warmth, and life!
Moreover, he cannot directly touch the souls of the dead with his physical body.
"Hold the grass!"
This is a new thing. Zhang Youde has lived in the world of the dead for tens of thousands of years and has always been in the form of a dead soul.
But now that I have a physical body, I can still breathe, eat and drink. This is what makes me different.
Only then did the caterpillar and the old Taoist react belatedly, and began to observe Zhang Youde carefully.
The caterpillar's compound eyes became more and more vivid at this moment: "Wow, it's a physical body..."
"I still remember that I also had a very big physical body when I was alive."
The old Taoist clicked his tongue and marveled: "As for the physical body, I am so envious. I also vaguely remember that I also had one during my lifetime."
The caterpillar and the old Taoist expressed their envy, which greatly satisfied Zhang Youde's vanity.
Then……
Zhang Youde became even more enthusiastic, leading the two of them to talk about his adventures in an emotional and dancing manner.
But as he was talking, Zhang Youde's stomach suddenly made two "gurgling" sounds, which sounded like thunder, each sound louder than the last.
I'm so hungry!
Counting the time, Zhang Youde hadn't had a bite of food for two or three days. He was so hungry that his stomach ached and he suffered from gastrointestinal cramps.
