husband from hell

Chapter 334 Dingling Cave
In Cheng Ke's memory, the location has not changed, it is still by the Yanzhi River, but the scenery has changed a lot.

Is it the Rouge River a hundred years ago...

It was still summer, and the soft reeds beside the Rouge River were dancing slightly in the breeze, and the air was full of the smell of green grass, which was refreshing, and some aquatic plants bloomed pink and purple flowers dotted by the river.

"Cheng Ke..." A timid voice sounded: "You are still very young, why are you in such a hurry to find a grave for yourself?"

It was Ah Jiu who followed Cheng Ke.

Ah Jiu still wore the white mask, as if afraid of being seen by others, carefully hid behind Cheng Ke, walking through the soft reeds.

"Nothing." Cheng Ke still had no expression on his face, and said, "It's just a rainy day."

"I know, you almost died that time in winter." Ah Jiu said hastily, "But...it is unlucky to buy a cemetery."

"Pursuing auspiciousness in everything, there is probably no need to be a ghost raiser." Cheng Ke said indifferently: "This is fate."

"Actually..." Ah Jiu hesitated, and said, "I know a little about you and Calamus."

"Huh?" Cheng Ke raised his eyebrows: "What do you know?"

"You like calamus, don't you? But calamus clearly knows what you're thinking, but still talks about marriage with Wei Changsheng!" Ajiu's sweet and crisp voice was tinged with excitement: "Calamus still wants to tease you and give you hope, Asking you to do things for her, she is using you in doing so, it is not fair at all!"

"How can there be so much fairness in the world." Cheng Ke still didn't take Ah Jiu's words seriously at all: "Only you can choose your own path."

"I said, you are choosing a cemetery now, don't you..." Ah Jiu seemed to muster up her courage before she said, "You want to die for Calamus?"

Cheng Ke paused slightly under his feet, but immediately said: "I will not die for others."

He died for himself.

Ever since he heard the conversation between Calamus and that master, he began to feel that maybe it was meaningless for him to live.

No one needs him, no, no one really needs him.

He is just a tool.

In the beginning, it was because the Luo family didn't want to bear the notoriety of abandoning their youngest son, and they allowed him to grow up at home to save the family's face.

Later, because Luo Chengshou wanted to live forever, he was allowed to enter the Biluo Gate.

In the end, it was Calamus who asked him to help him obtain longevity for his ideals and ambitions, as well as all his "last resorts".

He suddenly felt very tired.

But as a tool, for the user, this is the mission that the tool should have.

In the eyes of those people, he probably wouldn't allow even a single tiredness to appear.

"Cheng Ke!" Ah Jiu said suddenly: "No matter what, I hope you live! I...I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can see you! Actually... Actually..."

Cheng Ke stopped and turned to look at Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu's face hiding behind the mask probably also froze, and he murmured, "I... I can't compare to Calamus, but I can do my best to..."

"No need," Cheng Ke replied after a pause, "Don't compare yourself with others."

Ah Jiu was startled, lowered his head slightly, and didn't speak any more, it just seemed that he had made some kind of determination.

She...it was at this time that she had to replace Calamus and be the person standing by Cheng Ke's side?
Not to compare...she wants to replace it!
Want to replace Calamus and save Cheng Ke's life?

Cheng Ke, however, ignored Ah Jiu's slender girlish heart. He just stopped, spotted a place, squatted down, measured a position with his slender fingers, stood up, and asked, "Where are you going?" Hungry Ghost Festival, isn’t it far away?”

"It hasn't been long..." Ah Jiu looked wary: "What do you want to do?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Ke said flatly, "Go to the appointment."

I know what appointment he is going to.

He wants to withdraw his soul when the gate of hell is opened, so that he will never have the chance to be reincarnated as a human again.

Ah Jiu blinked, obviously guessing, but she didn't guess it.

It turns out that the address of this small temple...is how it came about.

"This place is very good." I don't know when, Calamus also came, standing next to a clump of reeds, pursing her lips and smiling: "A rare spiritual acupoint in Xuanyin Land."

Cheng Ke didn't answer, turned around and left, Ah Jiu looked back at Calamus, the eyes hidden behind the mask, as if wishing to eat Calamus alive.

She must have decided that Calamus was going to force Cheng Ke to death!

Cheng Ke looked up at Calamus, and said calmly: "I will definitely do what I promised."

Calamus's beautiful eyes also shone with enthusiasm: "I know, and I have always believed."

The memory gradually dissipated like smoke. It turned out that Cheng Ke just remembered that the place was chosen by himself, but he still couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

Including, after the site selection, who built the small temple, who put the hair inside the statue, and who dug out the cellar.

When he came back to his senses, Cheng Ke had already opened the small door.

"Huh..." A gloomy wind blew up from below.

Although it is very cold now, it is open and dry under the sun, but the wind blowing from below is like the smile of a perverted killer, which makes people shudder.

The small iron ring continued to shine brightly, leading me to go down.

Cheng Ke was protecting me and followed me.

Li Minglang followed closely behind, his voice a bit belated: "This is... the Dingling Point? It's such a rare place."

"Dingling acupoint?" I asked Cheng Ke while running with the little iron ring, "What is Dingling acupoint?"

"The Dingling acupoint is a place unique to Xuanyin, and it's very difficult to find," Cheng Ke said calmly, "It's similar to raising a corpse, but what a corpse raising place can guarantee is that the corpse will not rot, and the Dingling acupoint, Spiritual bodies that can be suppressed will never be reborn."

Let your spirit... never be reborn...

My heart tightened, how strong was his desire to die at that time!
But... if you come here now...

I reacted: "If our souls are locked here..."

"Unless someone outside finds a way to save him, he won't be able to come out again." Cheng Ke replied, "I can't even see the ghosts in this place."

No wonder!
You used that little ball to lure us here, could it be that you want to live forever, just like Cheng Ke back then?
"Li Minglang!" I turned my head and said loudly while running with the little iron ring: "Don't be troubled by us, the matter has nothing to do with the Taiqing Palace! It's just a pit waiting for us to jump, you hurry back, It should be in time!"

Li Minglang said, "I knew where this was from the very beginning, so since I've come down, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to get out!"

"You can just be our way out!" I hurriedly said, "If we can't get out, you can save us from above..."

Before I finished speaking, I only heard a "coax" from behind, and the door had been closed again.

I felt a chill in my heart, thinking about it, I knew it was shut from the outside!
Now, this "spirit fixation plan" for us has just begun...

"It's too late now." Li Minglang didn't care, and just continued: "So, we can only chase all the way."

Yeah, it's too late...

Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I will let you out."

"I know."

Even if I don't want to come, there's nothing I can do, the little iron ring will drag me here.

In the darkness, the little iron ring was like a firefly, with a light guiding me forward.

But... I suddenly remembered that Cheng Ke's coffin was placed empty in the small temple. Could it be that his soul was brought into the statue by that bundle of hair, and his body was still left behind? In this underground?

When the small temple was burned last time, Wei Qiancheng and I were locked inside, but we didn't notice that the bottom was empty.

Before I could get out of the chaotic thoughts, I could suddenly and vaguely see a light in front of me, echoing the light of the small iron ring in the distance. My heart cheered up, it was that little ball!

The little iron ring became more excited and dragged me across.

That spot of light was getting closer and closer to us, and it was about to arrive, but suddenly Cheng Ke held me back: "Don't go there!"

The little iron ring still pulled my arm up and motioned for me to take it. I didn't understand why I looked around the little ball, and then I understood why Cheng Ke held me back.

It turned out that the small ball was hung in the air somewhere, and there was a big hole underneath.

This is originally a "cellar", and there is still a pit under the cellar. Is the other party playing "little crocodile likes to take a bath" and digging the sewer system?
The ball was suspended in the middle of the pit. If I didn't pay attention, I would have been hooked by the small iron ring, and now I would have fallen down.

I lowered my head to look at the pit, and took a look at a bottomless pit. Even my eyes that can see in the dark couldn't see the end: "This...is similar to the black water pool in our Tanshen Town..."

"This is the center of Dingling Point." Cheng Ke said solemnly: "If you fall, you will never come back up again."

I swallowed my saliva, the little ball used as bait was right in front of the outside, but I could only see it, not touch it!
Unless, you can fly with wings...

I looked at Cheng Ke: "Now, how can I get it?"

"Let me try!" Li Minglang, who had been following behind, suddenly said, "Maybe, I can take that thing off."

As he spoke, he took out a yellow talisman from his pocket and blew it lightly. The yellow talisman flew out of his hand. It was originally as sharp as a knife, but suddenly it was weak from the black hole. It fell down, and fell into the hole like a dead leaf.

"This is..." It could be seen that the Qi on the yellow talisman disappeared in an instant.

"Of course the Dingling Point can hold all the yin and aura." Cheng Ke said: "Here, there is no way to use ghost raising and Taoism."

No wonder...

"Hahahaha..." A very pleasant laugh sounded: "Don't you all turn danger into good luck every time? Let's see if there is a way to go as smoothly as before."

It's Grandpa's voice!

He seems to have healed from the injury I rushed out of him in the big banyan tree last time, and he is staring at us from the other side of the pit with great interest: "If you want to keep a secret, you have to take risks first."

Simply shameless!

Cheng Ke's big peach blossom eyes were already fixed on the little ball.

As long as you reach the little ball and know the secret of longevity, you can... get rid of him and rescue grandpa!
As for him, he thought that we and Changsheng would all fall into the Dingling Cave and never come out again...
