When Wang Chen came back to his senses, he suddenly felt something was wrong again.
What's wrong is the time.
He spent a long time in the wormhole space brushing white bones and skeletons, and consumed a lot of the spiritual power stored in the Tianluo Evil Killing Network. It was estimated that it was at least more than an hour.
However, when he returned to the passage of the Demon Cave, Wang Chen felt as if only a few breaths had passed.
This feeling is extremely subtle and not entirely clear.
But Wang Chen was certain that it was not his illusion!
Monks usually have accurate judgments of time, and they will not make mistakes even if they are underground without seeing the light of day.
The source of this judgment is one's own heartbeat, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more accurate it will be.
Wang Chen suspected that there was a huge difference in the speed of time passing in the wormhole space and the demon cave.
It's just that this is not the time to study this now, and he doesn't want to reveal the secret that he has been to the wormhole, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Wang Chen continued his mission today calmly.
After successfully completing his routine inspection work, Wang Chen rushed to the restaurant and went to the dining hall.
"Senior Lu!"
To Wang Chen's surprise and surprise, he actually saw Lu Yanyi in the dining hall!
Lu Yanyi was the old jailer who took him before.
In the Demon Cave, Lu Yanyi was the real senior among the jailers.
Like Wang Chen, many new jailers have worked with him and received the words and deeds of this veteran.
Some people lived to the day they escaped from the demon cave!
Because of his high reputation, the jailers respectfully called him "Master Lu".
Although there are essential differences between master and master, the former is also an honorific title and is truly recognized by everyone.
I saw Lu Yan sitting at a dining table, surrounded by people, and everyone was interested and asking questions.
Earlier, some people said that Lu Yanyi had disappeared, while others speculated that he fell into a wormhole by mistake. Anyway, it was just as bad as before.
Now that Master Lu has returned safely, many people are happy for him.
Including Wang Chen.
Hearing Wang Chen's voice, Lu Yan turned his head and smiled at him.
At this time, Wang Chen discovered that Master Lu's hair was all white, and there were a few deep wrinkles on his face, making him look dozens of years older than before.
You must know that the life span of Zifu monks is over a hundred, and they can maintain their vitality without losing their cultivation. Unless the Dao foundation is damaged, there will be no sudden aging.
But when Wang Chen looked at Lu Yanyi, he didn't look like he was seriously injured.
But no matter what, just live.
Since there were many people around Lu Yanyi, Wang Chen did not go over to join in the fun. He took a meal and found an empty seat nearby to sit down. While eating, he listened to the old jailer's conversation with others.
Lu Yanyi did not deny the fact that he had been "missing" for several days.
But he did not explain where he went or whether he fell into a wormhole by mistake as others had guessed.
The old jailer just thanked everyone for their concern, and then avoided talking about the topics that everyone was interested in.
As a result, the people surrounding him quickly dispersed.
Lu Yan didn't pay attention at all, and suddenly stood up and sat down opposite Wang Chen.
"Xiao Wang, do you still have wine?"
Wang Chen nodded and took out a jar of spiritual wine from the Sumeru ring: "Senior Lu, good people have their own destiny. Just be fine."
Lu Yanyi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He took the wine jar, slapped open the mud seal at the mouth of the jar, then drank like an ox and a whale, and drank up the bottom of the jar in the blink of an eye.
"happy!"
The old jailer placed the empty altar heavily on the table, touched the wine stained on his white beard, took a long breath and said: "Xiao Wang, I'm leaving, and I really want to leave this time."
Wang Chen was stunned: "Are you leaving the Demon Cave?"
"Yes."
Lu Yanyi showed no excitement at all, as if this was not his dream: "Yeah, I'm leaving this damn monster cave."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations then."
Lu Yan laughed out loud, with a strong sense of self-deprecation and sarcasm in his laughter.
He didn't explain anything, just said: "Of all the new juniors, I am most optimistic that you can escape from this sea of suffering, but I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again, so you should work hard."
As he spoke, Lu Yan took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and put it in front of Wang Chen: "I can't drink your wine in vain, and I don't have many spiritual stones left. I'll give you this amulet as a souvenir."
Wang Chen didn't refuse and took it with both hands.
This is a mahogany amulet, which is extremely finely made. Even with Wang Chen's eyes, which have studied the "True Interpretation of the Shangqing Spirit Talisman Illustration", no flaws can be found.
The amulet itself is made of excellent material. It looks like an old object that has been used for more than a thousand years. The surface has been covered with thick patina. It is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Yan waved his hand, sighed and said, "Remember to carry it with you at all times. It can save lives at critical moments."
He asked Wang Chen for another jar of spiritual wine.
This time I didn’t open it to drink directly, but put it in the storage bag.
In return, Lu Yanyi told Wang Chen his many years of experience as a jailer in detail.
For example, I told Wang Chen which of the monsters in the prisons were the most difficult to deal with, which monsters could communicate, which ones couldn't speak, which ones were ferocious and dangerous, and which ones were the work of strong men.
Moreover, Lu Yanyi told Wang Chen through sound transmission!
"Go and have a rest, go and have a rest!"
Lu Yanyi, who had had a long conversation with Wang Chen, seemed satisfied, wiped the wine from his beard, then staggered out of the dining hall carrying the sundries with his left hand and the empty wine jar with his right hand.
Wang Chen felt a sense of loss as he watched the old man disappear into the passage outside.
He is alone again!
When Wang Chen woke up early the next morning, the first thing he did was hang the peach wood amulet around his waist.
Even if you don't have much courage, you can still comfort yourself.
After Lu Yan left, Wang Chen's life was not affected in any way.
He gets up every morning, patrols the prison area along the established route, checks the magic circle nodes, and delivers fixed meals to a group of monsters and monsters on time, gradually integrating into the life of most jailors.
The wormhole never appeared again, as if it was just a dream that Wang Chen and other jailers had.
But the arrival of a new batch of jailers told Wang Chen that the frequent appearance of wormholes some time ago had secretly had a considerable impact, and would continue to do so!
On this day, Wang Chen once again came to the place where he had previously discovered the wormhole.
Suddenly, he felt as if something important was about to happen!
The next moment, Wang Chen disappeared on the spot.
here we go again?
Wang Chen, who had experience, did not panic at all. He kept his head calm and clear-headed until the transmission was over.
