Big dreamer

After Shen Luo finished speaking, the outside fell into silence again.

"If I remember correctly, Heaven fell first, and then the demons attacked the Underworld, right?" After a moment, Shen Luo broke the silence and asked.

"Not bad." Zhong Kui replied.

"In this case, the underworld should be prepared. Why did it lose so quickly back then?" Shen Luo continued to ask.

After a long time, Zhong Kui's voice came in:

"Back then...things back then were a bit strange. It is said that with the arrangements made by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, even if we couldn't resist the demons in the end, we wouldn't lose so quickly and miserably. So much so that we were beaten by others for many years. They criticized us and said that we were all capitulators and did not resist at all.”

When Shen Luo heard this, he didn't say anything more. His eyes slowly fell on the dragon-binding circle in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhong Kui was outside and saw that Shen Luo was no longer talking, so he didn't say anything anymore.

I don't know how much time passed, but Shen Luo suddenly heard a strange noise coming from outside. Then, he heard Zhong Kui suddenly shouting:

"who?"

However, as soon as his voice came together, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he immediately let out a whimpering sound, but the sound soon disappeared.

"Who's outside?" Shen Luo was immediately alarmed and shouted.

"It's me." A dry voice came from outside.

"Cai Zhu?" Shen Luo was a little surprised.

"This golden cymbal is Master Huangmei's magic weapon. I can only open it a little bit at most. Are you sure you can get it out?" Nie Caizhu asked.

"Why are you here?" Shen Luo asked quickly.

"Don't talk about this now, I'll rescue you first and then talk about it." Nie Caizhu said urgently.

"Okay." Shen Luo hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Besides the golden cymbal, Nie Caizhu glanced at Zhong Kui who was unconscious beside him with a complex expression. He held an exquisite white jade pure vase in his hand, twisted a willow branch stuck in it with his fingers, and began to chant silently.

After a moment, she twisted the willow branch, suddenly pulled out the pure bottle, and pointed it toward the golden cymbal.

A drop of crystal water dropped from the top of the willow branch and flew into the gap where the top and bottom of the golden cymbal met.

The golden cymbal, which was originally a perfect fit, suddenly trembled rapidly the moment this drop of water penetrated into the gap, and golden light flashed on it.

When Nie Caizhu saw this, her expression became tense, and she made a secret with one hand. The magic power in her body surged out crazily, and almost unreservedly merged into the drop of crystal water.

As the mana continued to pour into it, the drop of water began to glow with a snow-white light, and began to expand like a bubble. It was extremely difficult to open an almost invisible gap between the two golden cymbals.

A moment later, the light on the golden cymbal exploded, and the drop of swollen liquid shattered with a bang, and the two golden cymbals closed together again.

A look of despair flashed in Nie Caizhu's eyes. She was short of mana and was about to collapse before she knew it.

At this moment, a broad shoulder suddenly appeared behind her, supporting her.

"Cousin..." Nie Caizhu turned around and saw Shen Luo, and she was immediately overjoyed.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's go to Yin Guijian first." Shen Luo said softly while his hands were still bound by the dragon-binding circle.

"I'll lead the way." Nie Caizhu nodded and cheered up again.

Under her guidance, the two quickly and quietly escaped from the altar and headed towards the hell labyrinth.

At the same time, in a dilapidated building not far from here, Zhen Yuanzi, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes, frowned and said, "It looks like he took the bait."

After saying that, in addition to his body shape, he transformed into another body and disappeared in an instant, disappearing from the same place.

…

On the other side, Shen Luo and the others hurriedly fled to the entrance of Shayin Valley, but Nie Caizhu suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shen Luo asked quickly when he saw this.

"Cousin, are you really not a traitor?" Nie Caizhu stared into Shen Luo's eyes and asked seriously.

"No." Shen Luo shook his head firmly without evading his gaze.

"Then I'm relieved. Just go and I'll take you here." Nie Caizhu breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"You won't come with me?" Shen Luo said unexpectedly.

"You have the entrustment of others, and I also have the entrustment of my master. I can't bear to see you die in vain, but I can't give up on my responsibilities, so I can't go with you." Nie Caizhu bit her lip and said.

"I……"

Shen Luo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"Cousin, is what you said about time travel true?" Nie Caizhu asked again.

"It's true." Shen Luo nodded.

"If you can really go back a thousand years ago, I hope you can either change the calamity that happened a thousand years ago and save this bad future, or... I hope you can stay with me, I don't want to be so lonely anymore ." Nie Caizhu said slowly with a complicated smile.

"I promise you." Shen Luo frowned for a long time and nodded heavily.

Nie Caizhu got the answer, and the smile on her face finally became a little more relaxed. She didn't say anything else, she just waved to Shen Luo, then turned around and walked back in the direction.

Shen Luo looked at her desolate back and felt a little guilty in his heart.

However, after watching for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the chain bridge.

As soon as Shen Luo crossed the bridge and reached the other side, a figure slowly walked out from the black bamboo forest in front of him, seemingly waiting for him.

"Friend Daoist Shen, where are you going?" the man asked with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Taoist Huangmei..." Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and shouted.

"Looking at your reaction, it doesn't seem too surprising, what? You knew I would stop you?" Seeing Shen Luo's reaction, the yellow-browed monk frowned slightly and asked.

"After all, the golden cymbal is your magic weapon. How could you not know that something happened here? Look at Immortal Zhenyuan's dragon-binding circle, so I didn't dare to move it for fear of alarming him. But I'm still a little surprised. How could you come like this? Fast?" Shen Luo laughed.

"There's nothing surprising. Now that I've stopped you, stop struggling in vain. Hand over the Heavenly Book. Others can't guarantee it. I can let you live." Huang Meiseng said.

"I thought you would say, let me go back with you honestly?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

"Asking you to go back with me is not forcing you to die, so how can you agree? In short, I don't care whether you are a traitor to the demon clan or not. It doesn't matter to me. As long as you hand over the Heavenly Book, don't interfere. We just need to correct the chaos and restore the way of heaven. As for Ji Lei Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple... that is a personal enmity between you and them," Huang Meiseng said calmly.

"That's a fair statement, but why should I believe you?" Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Monks don't tell lies. If you hand over the heaven book, I will let you go." The yellow-browed monk said with raised palms.

"Haha, hand over the Heavenly Book... I don't think it's necessary. Now, there's no need to pretend anymore. I have indeed surrendered to the Demon Clan. I wanted to make a contribution in the end, but it's a pity that I was killed by you as soon as I came. See it through. Now Lord Jiu Ming has divided his forces into two groups and attacked from the Eighteenth Level of Hell and this hell labyrinth," Shen Luo said with a relaxed expression.

The yellow-browed monk frowned slightly when he heard this, not sure whether Shen Luo's words were true or false.
