Chen Ling's mother died, and Chen Ling really had no hope of finding the Emperor Xuan Ling.
When her mother died and her lover was terminally ill, Chen Ling's innocence seemed to collapse. Even though her mother had treated her badly since her father left, she was still her mother after all.
When Yue Mei's hand slipped from Chen Ling's, and when Yue Mei refused to tell where the Xuan Emperor's Order was, Chen Ling felt that her heart had been thrown into the deep sea.
That feeling was something Chen Ling would never forget for the rest of his life.
But what Chen Ling didn't know at that time was that something happened soon after that made her feel like this again.
These things were only learned by Chen Xuan later during his investigation. Chen Xuan did not have any of these things in his memory when the sacred object was given to him.
But just the memory in the sacred object was enough to make Chen Xuan extremely angry.
Chen Ling frowned slightly after realizing that he was being tricked. The past seemed to be still in front of him. If it were before, this kind of person would not be worthy of standing in front of Chen Ling.
Now Chen Ling knew that she shouldn't think like this, but she really couldn't help it.
She was worried that the old man would leave for another day, so she thanked the old man and said, "Senior has difficulty moving, so we won't bother him anymore. We can go in by ourselves later."
After saying that, Chen Ling bowed to the old man. No matter how disgusted he was with this old man in his heart, Chen Ling could not lack the etiquette he should have.
After all, she and Wang Yulin will stay here for a long time.
But when Chen Ling finished bowing and turned around to walk towards Wang Yulin, the old man suddenly stopped Chen Ling.
Looking at the withered hand in front of him, Chen Ling frowned and looked up at his ancestor. There was teasing in his cloudy eyes. He looked at Chen Ling and said: "This girl, outsiders can't just enter the undead world casually."
In the valley, I can only report it on my behalf."
Hearing this, Chen Ling subconsciously wanted to refute the question, but Chen Ling thought of Wang Yulin and suppressed the anger in his heart.
When they came yesterday, the old man said that he would report it, but they waited all night.
After finally waiting for the old man to come back, he replied that he had forgotten his memory.
Everyone can see the teasing look on his face.
Chen Ling didn't understand why they came to the Valley of the Dead, a gathering place of dying people, and the people they met were so vicious.
Especially this old man who was about to die and looked at Chen Ling with a malicious look on his face.
In Chen Ling's understanding, people who are about to die are the kind of people who live a relatively clear life in their last days. At least they are dead. If they don't do bad things, it can be regarded as a blessing.
This is still in the Valley of the Dead, in front of the River Styx they believe in. Isn't he afraid of retribution?
But Chen Ling only dared to think this in her heart. She didn't dare to say it out yet. At this time, she could only endure it. If not, then Chen Ling and the others would have no way out.
Wang Yulin's body is already on its deathbed. If his breath is a little heavier when he speaks, blood will remain.
And the pain Wang Yulin showed was only one-third of his real pain. He didn't want Chen Ling to be too sad for him.
Wang Yulin may not live long, but Chen Ling can still live for a long, long time.
But what Wang Yulin didn't know was that Chen Ling had already made a plan in her heart. When Wang Yulin died, she would immediately kill herself next to Wang Yulin and leave with Wang Yulin.
A few days before arriving in the Relic Realm, Chen Ling failed to seek Emperor Xuan's order, and Yue Mei failed to become a demon and died.
But it was her mother after all. Chen Ling stayed with Yue Mei for seven days and buried her.
They searched the entire Lingyun Mansion again, but couldn't find where the Xuan Emperor's order was.
Then Chen Ling stopped looking. She began to look for famous doctors in the world to treat Wang Yulin. She went to various experts to ask them to treat Wang Yulin.
It's just that famous doctors are afraid that the Chen family is unwilling to treat Wang Yulin.
Chen Ling was helpless. After many years, Chen Ling was tired of hearing such reasons.
It was just because the Chen family had fallen and they were unwilling to treat Wang Yulin.
Fortunately, at that time, Chen Ling knew that the King of Medicine and Chen Xuan in the Yaoyu were good friends, so she took Wang Yulin to the Yaoyu.
King Yao was already dead at that time, but King Yao's apprentice received Chen Ling.
But even Medicine King's apprentice was helpless against Wang Yulin.
The devil's attack was so ruthless that Wang Yulin's internal organs were shattered and dislocated. Even Wang Yulin's spiritual consciousness was torn apart and could not be restored.
When she returned to Lingyun Mansion from the Medicine Domain, Chen Ling was already devastated. Even so, she kept trying to smile.
She and Wang Yulin missed each other for more than ten thousand years. Wang Yulin often praised her for her beautiful smile, so Chen Ling wanted Wang Yulin to see her smile one more time before he died.
Later, Chen Ling said that he would take Wang Yulin back to the Bone Realm.
Wang Yulin said, as long as he is with Chen Ling, he can go anywhere.
What Chen Ling was thinking was that if the two of them accepted salvation in the Valley of the Dead, they could really be together in the next life. If they were children of an ordinary family, it would be great to have an ordinary life.
Chen Ling has had too much glory in this life, but all of it must be attributed to her father.
After her father left, she seemed to want to give back all the good things she had experienced in just over a hundred years.
More than a hundred years of happiness have replaced more than 30,000 years of nightmares, and nearly 40,000 years of nightmares.
During these days, Chen Ling never had a truly happy day.
It's the same even when I'm with Wang Yulin at this moment.
She was unhappy because Wang Yulin was about to die.
Even if she chooses to die for Wang Yulin, who can say with certainty what will happen in the next life?
Chen Ling doesn't know what her next life will be like, but she knows that in this life, since her father disappeared in seclusion, Chen Ling has never been purely happy for a day.
No...actually, if you think about it, there are still some moments where you live purely happily.
For example, when Yue Mei just agreed to her marriage to Wang Yulin, on that day and after that, although Yue Mei still made Chen Ling angry, at least she was happy.
If happiness is lower than anger, that is pure happiness.
The old man in front of her put Chen Ling on the verge of collapse, but Chen Ling actually thought in her heart that she had already endured many hardships in the past, so why should she continue to endure it in these last moments?
Chen Ling thought that maybe she didn't want to face Wang Yulin's imminent death and the separation of their souls.
After closing his eyes, Chen Ling smiled at the old man and said, "Then I'll trouble you, senior."
The old man smiled at Chen Ling with unknown meaning, and there was an inexplicable stickiness in his eyes, which made Chen Ling's scalp numb.
The old man did not reply, but walked towards the way he came from on crutches.
As a result, Chen Ling and Wang Yulin waited outside the valley for nearly a day.
Fortunately, the weather here is mild, neither hot nor cold, and there is nothing except wind.
When it was almost evening, the old man walked out of the valley slowly, holding a cane and waving to Chen Ling and Wang Yulin to signal them to come over.
Chen Ling bowed to indicate that although a long time had passed, no matter how slow he walked, it was impossible for him to walk for nearly a day.
At least, finally, we can let the two of them in.
Chen Ling's purpose of coming here is the sacred tree in the middle of the River Styx.
She wanted to sleep together with Wang Yulin under the sacred tree.
So you have to go into the Valley of the Dead.
Supporting Wang Yulin, Chen Ling slowly followed the old man inside.
Fortunately, the old man's steps were not very fast, and they were walking inside with less than five meters between them.
After walking inside for about half a cup of tea, Chen Ling could see what was inside the valley.
There are white bones everywhere inside, just like the outside.
There are trees on both sides of the valley, and tents are pitched between the trees. You can see people living inside, most of them are elderly people.
Also, people who are about to die come here for salvation, and there are very few young people here.
Seeing their arrival, everyone in the tent looked outside at Chen Ling and Wang Yulin.
For some reason, Chen Ling felt that there was something in their eyes that made Chen Ling feel uncomfortable and strange.
But Chen Ling couldn't describe what it felt like at the moment.
Follow the old man to the very middle of the valley. There is the only wooden building in the valley, which must be where the owner of the valley lives.
Chen Ling supported Wang Yulin and stood outside. The old man patted the door, and the door opened from the inside. The owner of the valley at that time was an old male.
The Valley Master glanced at the old man first, then turned his attention to Chen Ling and Wang Yulin.
"newcomer?"
The old man replied: "Yes, I just came here to trouble the Valley Master."
Chen Ling was stunned when she heard this and looked up at the old man's back, but she didn't say anything.
She knew the old man was playing tricks on them, but now Chen Lingren was under the roof, and they wouldn't live long.
Besides, they are still in front of the Valley Master and cannot show their impatience.
Facing the valley owner with a smile, Chen Ling tried his best to look more approachable.
But what Chen Ling doesn't know is that in this place, the more approachable someone seems to be, the easier it is to bully someone.
The people here are all dying people. Their thinking is different from that of normal people, and they are out of touch with mass society. They wait here all day long to die. How can their thoughts be any better?
The owner of the valley looked at Chen Ling and Wang Yulin, frowned and said, "He is about to die. You see nothing wrong with him."
As the Valley Master pointed at Wang Yulin, Chen Ling glanced at Wang Yulin and just smiled and said: "When he dies, I will leave.
We both have a miserable life, so please be kind to the owner of the valley."
In the Valley of the Dead, anyone can come here. This is the territory of the gods, and there is no such thing as mercy.
Even the owner of the Valley cannot make the decision in the Valley of the Dead.
It’s just that neither Chen Ling nor Wang Yulin knew this.
The Valley Master looked at Chen Ling for a while, then turned sideways to let Chen Ling and the others in, saying: "Come in and register."
The so-called registration is just writing your name on a booklet.
Then the owner of the valley gave Chen Ling a piece of gray cloth. Like the tents outside, he still frowned and didn't know what caused Chen Ling to offend him.
But even though Chen Ling was doubtful, he could only bend down and say thank you.
The two of them walked out of the wooden house, and the owner of the valley said at the door: "Just find a place to set up a tent. People here may not die anytime, and you are no exception."
Hearing what the Valley Master said, Wang Yulin frowned slightly.
He really didn't know when he would die, and it didn't matter what people said, but Chen Ling was obviously fine, and Wang Yulin didn't want others to say bad things about Chen Ling.
But since they had just come here, they hadn't been here long, so Wang Yulin didn't say anything more.
Chen Ling originally wanted to commit suicide after Wang Yulin died, so he had no reaction after hearing the Valley Master's words.
After the valley owner finished speaking, he returned to the house and closed the door.
The cold sound of closing the door sounded, and Chen Ling breathed out a sigh of relief. He looked at Wang Yulin and smiled, then helped him go into the valley to find their next habitat in the Valley of the Dead.
When he turned around, Chen Ling felt many eyes looking at them, but there was only one look, which was particularly intense.
Wei Wei looked out of the corner of her eye and saw that it was the old man who was teasing them.
Before looking with his peripheral vision, Chen Ling had already expected that this person was looking at them, so Chen Ling did not look directly.
She really didn't want to have too much interaction with the old man.
In the remaining time, Chen Ling just wanted to spend this quiet time with Wang Yulin well and quietly.
Because it was already evening when the two of them entered the valley, it was already dark by the time Chen Ling and Wang Yulin set up their tents.
The weather in the Realm of Bones is really very good, the evening sunset still has a lingering afterglow at night, the stars are dotted in the sky, and with the constant sound of the wind, Chen Ling really wants to let the time go by cuddling up with his beloved.
Just stay here.
It’s just that time is cruel, so why not time?
During the day on the first day they officially arrived in the Valley of the Dead, Chen Ling and Wang Yulin were scolded by the original residents in the valley.
The reason was that Chen Ling had taken some Styx water back for use in the early morning.
Although the water of the Styx is admired by people, it does not mean that the water of the Styx cannot be used by people.
Long before Chen Ling went to fetch water, she had seen many people going to the Styx River to fetch water the night before.
Moreover, Chen Ling carefully asked her mother-in-law who lived next to them if they could drink the Styx water.
The mother-in-law told Chen Ling that he could fetch water, but he could not use his hands to desecrate the Styx. If he wanted to fetch water, he could only use a special wooden container to fetch it.
For this reason, Chen Ling stayed up late to make a wooden container.
It was the mother-in-law who told Chen Ling that he could use water the night before, but it was also the mother-in-law who accused Chen Ling the next day.
The reason is simply that the first holy water that Chen Ling poured out of the Styx River was the first scoop of water that was pumped out of the Styx River after early morning.
They consider this water to be the blessing of the Styx, and the first holy water is something they strive for every day.
Most of the time on weekdays, the mother-in-law who lives next to Chen Ling gets the water, but today when the mother-in-law got up, she saw that Chen Ling had already filled the water.
So he stood on the edge of the River Styx and yelled at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling had never heard such dirty insults in her life. Even after her father left and her mother's temperament changed drastically, she had never suffered such serious insults.
At that time, Chen Ling was standing in front of the tent holding a ladle of water, standing motionless in a daze.
Although the mother-in-law's tone of voice was not that gentle the night before, she was not that aggressive either.
Chen Ling thought that there were still people who were easy to get in touch with here.
But being scolded by this mother-in-law at this time, Chen Ling was stunned.
This mother-in-law's name is Nianzhi, and she has less than a year to live. Perhaps she is afraid of imminent death, so her temper is very unstable.
After scolding Chen Ling, she still felt upset, so she took a few steps forward and pushed Chen Ling down.
Although he was about to die, it must be said that people are very strong and fast when they are angry. Chen Ling was pushed to the ground before she could even react.
And the water ladle in her hand was also broken.
Chen Ling fell on a pile of bones. Wang Yulin heard the noise and struggled to get up. As soon as he came out, he saw Chen Ling being pushed down. He hurriedly came to help Chen Ling. He couldn't move. He coughed violently and vomited a lot.
Blood.
But Nianzhi didn't feel any guilt. She even looked at Wang Yulin with disgust, then spat at Chen Ling and the others, and then returned to the house.
Nianzhi's voice was so loud that it disturbed the residents in the valley. Everyone watched Nianzhi bullying Chen Ling and the others, but after Nianzhi left, everyone went to accuse Chen Ling.
Faced with numerous insults, Chen Ling said it was a lie if he said he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
There were even tears in the corners of her eyes, but looking at Wang Yulin's worried look on her face, she knew that she couldn't cry no matter what.
When Chen Xuan saw tears in the corners of Chen Ling's eyes, there was a burst of sourness in his heart.
How have Chen Xuan's descendants ever been humiliated and bullied like this?
Chen Xuan's people have never been bullied like this, not to mention that Chen Ling was Chen Xuan's most beloved daughter at the time.
New scenes kept pouring into his mind. Chen Xuan clenched his fists tightly and tried hard to control his anger.
Since this happened to Chen Ling and the others on their first day in the Valley of the Dead, some small things would happen every day after that, and then Chen Ling would be insulted again.
Sometimes I would be beaten a few times.
Chen Ling never paid attention to them. Firstly, she was already numb, and secondly, she didn't want to worry too much about these dying people.
On the seventh day after arriving here, Chen Ling was able to avoid these people's unkind looks and bad behaviors towards her.
As long as these people didn't go too far, Chen Ling would usually tolerate it.
What Chen Ling didn't know was that her patience also directly led to the subsequent disaster.
