The two of them continued to go down the stairs. At first there was barely any light, but the further they went down, the darker it became.
Until a certain point, the light completely disappears, and it can be said that it is truly invisible.
Even Xiaoying was quite scared in this pure darkness and hugged Muchuan's arm directly.
Through his arms, Muchuan could feel that Xiaoying's heartbeat seemed to be quite fast.
Muchuan couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. He didn't expect that Xiaoying, who was not afraid of anything, would also be afraid one day.
Although Muchuan was still very relaxed, this darkness also made him feel uncomfortable.
It's like a normal person who suddenly becomes blind one day would be quite uncomfortable.
"Forget it, let's go back first and bring some torches before we come back down."
After walking for a while, Muchuan realized that he might not be able to reach the end for a while, so he thought of turning back.
This kind of aimless walking is the most tortured to people's minds.
Xiaoying fully agreed with Muchuan's words.
This place is so weird. If Muchuan hadn't been by his side, Xiaoying would have been so frightened that he would have screamed.
Ever since, the two of them turned back and walked back.
After walking for who knows how long, the two of them were still in pure darkness.
At this point, Muchuan also noticed something was wrong.
Even though Muchuan's mental arithmetic is not as good as those of math masters, the difference between the distance he walked when he came and the distance he took when he returned is already nearly twice the difference!
"Master, did we encounter a ghost and hit the wall?"
Mu Yingchen said fearfully, his teeth even chattering.
She is not afraid of anything except ghosts and gods.
Muchuan was also a little frightened when Xiaoying said this.
Is it possible that we really encountered something evil?
Speaking of which, Muchuan now noticed something strange.
When I was at the stone gate and looked down, I couldn't see any light at all.
What does this mean?
It means there are no living things down here!
As we all know, any living thing must have light to live (except deep-sea creatures).
Even if there is a secret stronghold down here, it must be illuminated by torches.
If there is lighting, there will be light spots anyway.
But Muchuan didn't see it.
It’s over, I’m afraid we’ve really gone to the underworld!
Muchuan's heart thumped and he felt half cold.
After that, Muchuan forced himself to walk for another half an hour, but he still didn't go back.
At this point, Muchuan completely understood that he had definitely hit the evil spirit.
"Master, what should I do?"
Xiaoying asked sobbingly.
This was the first time Muchuan saw Xiaoying cry.
Muchuan sighed deeply, smiled bitterly and sat on the steps.
"It's my fault. I went into it rashly without exploring it clearly."
Muchuan's words were filled with self-blame.
To be honest, Muchuan is in a terrible mood right now.
He imagined how he would die one day.
Either they died of old age, or they died in battle, or they even died under a pomegranate skirt.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that he would be trapped alive in such a ghost place!
At this moment, Muchuan wanted to see the light so much, even if it was only a little bit sporadic.
"Master, it's okay."
At this time, Muchuan felt a small body hugging him.
"I am willing to be with my master, even in the underworld."
"Xiaoying."
For a moment, Muchuan's heart was filled with mixed emotions.
It has been nearly two years since I bought this little girl from the streets of Baekje Royal City.
Muchuan had already regarded Xiaoying as his own sister, but it was only now that Muchuan understood that this little girl did not have that kind of affection for him.
Subconsciously, Muchuan also held Xiaoying in his arms.
Xiaoying's body seemed to be trembling slightly, and Muchuan noticed that she was actually crying.
"Are you scared?"
Muchuan asked with a wry smile.
This is normal. Anyone who knows that he will die in such a ghost place will be scared. Even Muchuan is a little scared.
Of course, Muchuan was more reluctant than afraid of this mentality.
Xiaoying shook his head repeatedly, but said: "I'm not afraid, I'm happy, I'm crying with joy."
"Master, you have never hugged me like this, not even once."
Hearing this, Muchuan felt extremely guilty. He had indeed treated Xiaoying a little too lightly.
Or maybe it was because he knew he was about to die soon, but Xiaoying rarely expressed his true feelings.
She said: "Before I met my master, my life was dark. I had never been happy, or even smiled."
"Master, your appearance is like light, making me understand that I am also valuable."
"It's just that Master, you are too dazzling, and I am too insignificant, so I only dare to secretly watch Master in the shadows, watching how Master falls in love with other women."
"I'm very envious, but I know I can't expect too much."
"How could a person like me, a person like me who should have died in the darkness, dare to blaspheme the light?"
"Xiaoying."
Muchuan finally couldn't bear it anymore and hugged the girl tightly.
After close contact, Muchuan discovered that Xiaoying's growth was even faster than he imagined.
"Master, you have a good physique and will definitely live longer than me. When I die, master will eat my flesh and drink my blood."
"My master is blessed with great blessings, and he will be able to turn the crisis around in the end."
"do not talk."
Muchuan blocked Xiaoying's mouth. Of course, he also used his mouth.
As the saying goes, clothes are easy to untie when love is strong. Needless to say, Muchuan's hands have already begun to move.
Just as things were progressing smoothly, footsteps and sporadic firelights suddenly sounded from ahead.
Muchuan was startled and quickly dressed Xiaoying. Then they both stood up and looked toward the fire.
The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and along with the footsteps, there is also the faint sound of human voices.
"It's really strange that there is such a ghost place in this mountain!"
Hearing this voice, Muchuan was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic.
This is Niubi’s voice!
It seems that Di Renjie has found Niu Bi and is coming with Niu Bi and the army!
Sure enough, within a short time, a large army led by Niu Bi and Di Renjie appeared in Muchuan's eyes.
This meeting between the two parties made Niu Bi and Di Renjie extremely surprised.
"Brother Mu?
Are you tired from walking?"
"Master! Little Sister Ying?
Why are you face so red?
I got sick?"
Di Renjie noticed that Mu Yingchen's face was unusually red. Even ripe apples were not that red.
Hearing this, Muchuan smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
However, Mu Yingchen suddenly jumped over and slapped Di Renjie hard twice on the head, which made Di Renjie feel aggrieved.
He said a few kind greetings, but unexpectedly he was expecting this kind of bullying!
