【Ghost White】Floating Lantern on the Other Shore

It felt like my heart had been stabbed with several needles, and I wanted to cry but there was no sound.It turned out that this is why his body is stronger than before, and his self-healing ability has also doubled.

Ignoring the bone-chilling coldness of the stone floor, Ghost Lantern knelt on the hall for a long time, looking ahead with a blank expression.Ordinary ghosts might have been frostbitten, but the pure power in his body seemed to sense the external cold, and began to give him a steady stream of warm heat.

Time seemed to stand still after Fuxi said "God and body are destroyed". Explain the appearance of traditional Chinese medicine on the stage, draw the proud expression of the stupid cat when it is good, the appearance of a tricky smile when it is mischievous, the appearance of reddish eyes when it is gentle, sitting alone on the small building and looking down The expression hesitant to speak when looking at him... too much, even though the memory is so vivid, he can never touch that person again.

What is puzzling is that Bai Ze never reciprocated his feelings, but is willing to die because of him?If this is what Lilith called "the gentle antidote wrapped in thick and deep love", then he would rather die in the poison than Bai Ze sacrificed himself to save him.

Gui Deng still remembers the last time he looked at Bai Ze, it was in the sea of ​​flames on the battlefield, running through his warm abdomen, his hands were wet with hot blood.It should be very painful, but the person who couldn't help howling after being hit a few times before still smiled, opened his mouth and said an inaudible sentence, and then he fell into the darkness irresistibly, and opened his eyes again. Open your eyes and everything is over.

what is this?

He never even asked him if he was willing to save him, so he decided to sacrifice himself without any reason. If...if he didn't catch up to Kunlun, could it be that the divine beast named Bai Ze just disappeared in the world? , and will not be known to him?

In the end, what kind of expression did Bai Ze use to heal him, and what was he thinking in his mind?There are no witnesses around, and even left a letter to Momotaro to confuse people, not wanting them to be sad because of his disappearance.

He would rather that Bai Ze was like what he had shown, not caring that he didn't accept him, and let him die indifferently, than that he had to live alone in a world where Bai Ze sacrificed himself to let him survive.

Bai Ze chose to die so lightly as a feather, but it was as heavy as Mount Tai to Ghost Lamp.The pain overflowing from the apex of his heart was almost driving him crazy. With his hands on his forehead, he closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down. Compared to being swallowed up by painful emotions, he now has other things More important things have to be confirmed clearly.

When he spoke again, his throat was a little dry, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "If I die, if I take out the inner alchemy that originally belonged to him, can Bai Ze recover?"

"Covered water is hard to recover. Now even if you kill yourself on the spot, you can't shake your fate. His inner alchemy has completely blended with your blood, and it is difficult to separate." Fuxi stood up from the futon and turned his back. He walked away in a cold voice. : "Since the confusion has been solved, please go back, Mr. Assistant Officer."

"Master Fuxi, please stay. I have something to ask." Gui Deng leaned over and begged, gritted his teeth, and said sonorously word by word: "Please also entrust Mr. Bai Ze's wild soul to me for safekeeping, please give it to me An opportunity to seek the method of gathering souls."

Even if he had to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers on this trip, he still wanted to find Bai Ze back.

"If you refuse to agree, I will kneel here until you are willing to hand over the wild soul to me."

"I have never been afraid of threats, kneel if I want to."

Qilin stood beside him in a cold sweat. If one of them fails, the diplomatic relationship between Heaven and Hell will be broken.

Gui Deng raised his head to face the backlight and said in a neutral manner: "It's not a threat to Lord Fuxi. Since I caused this result, I should bear the consequences. It has nothing to do with the status of the first assistant officer of the Japanese hell. I am asking you entirely on my own will.”

Fuxi turned around and looked at him coldly, then disappeared on the futon.

Qilin at the side scratched his head, not knowing how to comfort Ghost Lantern, although Fuxi is usually difficult to get along with, but today's Fuxi is probably a hundred times more difficult to deal with than usual.

In other words, why do you feel that the scene just now seemed similar?A moment later, Qilin suddenly realized that he raised his fist and hit his palm.

By the way, that feeling is like a father who found out that his beloved baby daughter was not doing well after marrying into her husband's family, so he took the opportunity to make things difficult for her son-in-law who came to her mother's house to save her daughter-in-law... No, now is not the time to think about such messy things, Gui Deng seems to have made up his mind to kneel here like this, and he should think of a way to persuade him to give up.

"Mr. Qilin doesn't care about me, if you have other things to do, you can leave first."

"Master Ghost Lantern, get up, I will send you back to the Japanese hell. Phoenix has been pestering him for a long time to beg for Bai Ze's wild soul, but Master Fuxi has not agreed..."

"Mr. Qilin, please don't stop me." Qilin raised his hand to stop him halfway through persuasion, and said firmly: "This is between me and Mr. Bai Ze. Since he can't stop him from sacrificing himself for me, Then obtaining the wild soul and finding the method of gathering souls is the only thing I can do for him now, even at the cost of my life."

"I know you have been hit hard now, but since he saved you, he just wants you to live a good life." Qilin shook his head, sighed and replied: "It is extremely difficult to preserve the desolate soul. Without self-will and resistance to external forces, it is very easy. It is easy to be devoured by evil things, so Master Fuxi brings him by his side."

"It should be me who disappeared, not Mr. Bai Ze. If he doesn't exist, then even if I live on for endless years, I will be nothing but a walking dead."

Qilin felt a headache, no matter if it was Fuxi, Bai Ze or Ghost Lantern, they were all hard to deal with, not to mention that he had to appease a guy who had been having trouble since Bai Ze disappeared, thinking that he would have to explain to Fenghuang later why he was helping Lord Guan knelt here, and pulled him over to join the ranks of lobbying Ghost Lantern to go back to Japan's hell. Just thinking about it makes one head and two big.

Qilin walked away slowly, and when he reached the end of the corridor, he turned around and looked at the shadow that had become somewhat blurred.Even if you can't see the opponent's figure clearly, you must still maintain the straight kneeling posture just now, right?I don't know whether it is better to say that he is stubborn in choosing the good or stubborn.

In the next few days, every day Qilin and Fenghuang went to deliver food to Ghost Lantern. I heard Bai Ze said that he had a big appetite, so he specially prepared a lot of buns, but the man knelt there motionless as if petrified. , the food didn't even move.

"Little devil, do you know that I haven't eaten for a few days? I have no objection if you want to mutilate your body like this, but your body no longer belongs to you alone. This is not only mutilating yourself, but also hurting yourself after sacrificing yourself. Do you, Bai Ze, who survived, know?"

Hearing Fenghuang's words, Ghost Lantern opened his closed eyes and looked at him thoughtfully.

He was a little apprehensive at the ferocious expression on his face, but Fenghuang still looked straight into his eyes without dodging or avoiding.The corner of Qilin's mouth twitched, because what Fenghuang said just now sounded like he was speaking to a pregnant woman. I don't know where he learned it. It seems that he should be banned from watching some unnutritious dramas.

Although the expression was very ferocious, in fact Ghost Lantern was just thinking about what Fenghuang said just now, and he had been kneeling for a few days and he didn't know exactly.

Ever since he learned the news that Bai Ze died for himself, his perception of the passage of time has gradually become dull. He can only keep thinking about who he can ask for the method of gathering souls after he retrieves that person's wild soul, and racking his brains Recalling the knowledge about the soul in the ancient books he had read before could make him ignore his aching heart and the past that kept popping up in his mind.

What Fenghuang said was correct. The self-healing ability of the divine beast was mostly used to heal traumatic injuries. If he continued to fast, he might collapse.So even though he didn't feel hungry at all, Ghost Lantern still picked up the buns on the tray and began to bite one bite at a time.

"thanks."

After swallowing a mouthful of steamed stuffed buns, Ghost Lantern thanked Fenghuang softly.When Fenghuang saw that he finally ate, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. In fact, a few days ago, after Qilin told him about the ghost lamp and Fuxi, he went to Taoyuan Township to learn more about the situation and get ointment for back pain.

"I said, old man Fuxi loves to trick people. If he doesn't give it to you, he won't give it to you. It's useless to kneel. Bai Ze won't come back to life just because you've been kneeling here for a few years. The floor is so cold here. The stone is for polishing, and you don’t eat it if you get something to eat. What if you get sick? He didn’t save you to see you become like this, otherwise why would he keep it from you? He also specifically told Momotaro to wait until the matter is over. Tell you."

From Fenghuang's point of view, both Ghost Lantern and Bai Ze are too stubborn.Especially Bai Ze, who obviously talked about ghost lamps, but kept being flirtatious. He and Qilin still looked at the matter between Bai Ze and ghost lamps with dubious attitudes.

In the end, the two of them clearly liked each other enough to die for each other. Ghost Lantern might be able to see that that guy Bai Ze hid it so deeply that he hid it from everyone, maybe even himself. up.If it is to prepare for the inevitable separation in the future, it is too cruel for Ghost Lamp and himself. The other party does not seem to reduce the pain of losing him by half because he never expressed his feelings.

But whether it is pure stubbornness or foresight, the matter has not been answered until now.Bai Ze had already left, and the remaining soul smoke could not give them an answer.

After a long silence, Ghost Lantern only replied "I will consider it properly" and then did not reply. It was obvious that Fenghuang and Qilin were worried, so they reluctantly responded to them.

Fenghuang also understood in his heart, so he shrugged his shoulders at Qilin and said that he had no choice but to say what he should say in the past few days. Reaction.

Forget it, at worst, get a blanket to surround this stubborn guy later, so that every time I talk to Ghost Lantern and see him kneeling on the icy ground, I will feel cold for him.

All of a sudden, there was only the sound of ghost lamps chewing food in the vast meeting hall, and suddenly they heard the sound of dragging from the promenade not far away. Even the always mischievous Phoenix had a respectful look on his face.

The half-body snake goddess had long hair like a waterfall and a red mark between her brows. She dragged the snake's tail and walked towards them slowly.Fenghuang and Qilin felt surprised in their hearts, they didn't expect to see Master Nuwa who seldom showed up at this time.

Forget it, I haven't seen her old man for almost 100 years, not to mention that there is a child who looks very much like Bai Ze by her side, and even his appearance is not far from his childhood appearance. Wearing a leopard-print jacket.

The goddess stopped in front of the ghost lamp, put her hand on the child's head and stroked it with compassion several times, and said lightly, "This is the container."

"Ah! So that's the case. No wonder Master Fuxi refused to hand over the desolate soul to me. Did you ask Empress Nuwa to recast her body?" Fenghuang screamed, and said with a look of sudden realization: "So this is Bai Ze. ?”

Nuwa shook her head lightly, and repeated again: "Container."

Qilin put his hands on Phoenix's shoulders, shook his head and said, "Empress Nuwa probably means that this is just a container made in the shape of Bai Ze. Although Empress Nuwa can recast the body, she must The soul is healthy, otherwise it is just a body."

"So you mean, this body is just a container made by Empress Nuwa to carry Bai Ze's incomplete souls?" Fenghuang frowned, looked at "Bai Ze" who was as expressionless as Nu Wa, and sighed He continued in one breath: "I knew it was not that simple, which made me happy just now. Thinking about it carefully, this child has the smell of Bai Ze, not even... that one."

The last few words were almost indistinct in his mouth, and he almost said it just now. Although he has a straightforward personality, he still attaches great importance to whether what he said will hurt others.

"Able to walk, no need to eat, unable to speak, no feeling."

Long accustomed to Nuwa's succinct explanations, Fenghuang turned his head and said to the ghost lamp who had been staring at the child, "Anyway, you heard it just now, this is the 'vessel' that Fuxi asked Empress Nuwa to make out of five-color stones. Generally speaking, wild souls are easy to be devoured by evil things, but with this container, this layer of doubt will be reduced, and it will be more convenient for you to carry it with you.”

Fenghuang suddenly stopped talking, and paused for a few seconds as if he was thinking about something, and finally decided to continue: "That container is Bai Ze's appearance as a child, it can walk, move, speak, and don't need it. Eating, if you don’t have feelings, you might not be able to express yourself.”

Originally, I wanted to add "You might be happier if you don't take it as Bai Ze", but I forgot it after thinking about it.How to be happier, everyone's definition is different.

At this moment, the child suddenly broke away from Nuwa's palm caressing his hair, walked towards the man who was still kneeling on the ground, grabbed his palm hanging by his side with his small hands, and entangled his slender index finger tightly.He opened his mouth as if to say something, but there was no sound.

The temperature of holding the palm is so warm, but this child is just a container with the appearance of Bai Ze.His face, which had been frozen since hearing the bad news, loosened a bit. He twisted his face and hugged the child vigorously, as if to make up for the regret of not being able to hug him at the end.

Nuwa walked past the surprised-looking Phoenix and Qilin, stopped in front of the ghost lamp and the child and said softly, "Desolate souls cannot enter reincarnation, they can only wander in the world. I can't bear to wander around, and Fuxi wanted to seal them into the qin and sleep. Now, this soul is entrusted to you, let’s see what happens.”

"I will always look for a way to restore Bai Ze's soul." Ghost Lantern stood up from the ground, tightly holding the little hand in his palm, and said in a firm tone like an oath: "I will never give up until he returns to his original form." appearance."

Nuwa showed a loving smile, nodded to him, then turned and left with the green snake stick.

After watching Nuwa leave, Phoenix couldn't help leaning over and poking the child's chubby cheeks, muttering "It really looks like you, as expected of Nuwa Empress" or "I really want to invite you!" Empress Nuwa pinches one for me too," or something like that.The child was very well-behaved, even though Fenghuang kneaded it, he didn't respond at all, but just tightly circled the ghost lamp's arm and didn't let go.

Qilin rolled his eyes, and decided to ignore Phoenix's actions and continue the topic just now.

"Master Assistant Officer, I think Master Fuxi's choice to hand over his soul to you should have his deep meaning. Originally, this is what we wanted to do, but I think...the child has already decided who to follow." Qilin has a deep meaning Glancing at the child who was holding on to the ghost lamp, his tone sounded helpless: "In terms of gathering souls, if you need help from me and Phoenix, please don't hesitate, after all, Bai Ze is our best friend."

"Thank you very much. If I need your help, I will contact you two again."

"Well... I didn't want to say it at first, but I think it would be better to tell you, at least to make you feel more at ease. In fact, it's really not your fault. Bai Ze was destined to have a catastrophe in the east Originally, Lord Fuxi informed him earlier to let him avoid it as much as possible, but who knew that guy knew that there were tigers in the mountain and went to the mountain of tiger."

"I don't think so. Originally, Bai Ze could get out of the way, but he chose to let the assistant officer or himself disappear. He chose to let himself disappear. There are many disasters of gods related to the world, and you are familiar with it in Japan. Like Cowherd and Weaver Girl is an example.”

It’s just that neither Fenghuang nor Qilin thought that Bai Ze’s “mortal fate” was far away in Japan, and he was still in hell. The object was even a deadly enemy who had been entangled for thousands of years. Over the past few thousand years, they have heard Bai Ze complain about the ghost lamp. Regarding things, his vision was so unique that no matter how venomous Fenghuang was, he didn't bother to speak out.

He knew that although Fenghuang always satirized Bai Ze, he couldn't see him suffering more than anyone else.Qilin shook his head to make Fenghuang quiet, and then said: "Master Fuxi once advised him not to stay in Taoyuan Township, especially if he doesn't get close to Japan, he may be able to escape smoothly. Unfortunately, Bai Ze didn't take it to heart at all, and even insisted on settling there, saying yes I found a very important treasure when I was traveling in Japan, I hope I can keep watching him.”

"Speaking of this, I seem to have heard him mention it. But it was a long time ago. I don't know when he stopped mentioning it..." Phoenix eyes rolled and rolled, as if Try to recall the past: "Oh, forget it, I can't remember. The longer I live, the more I can't remember many things. In short, I rarely see him take anything to heart."

Qilin followed Fenghuang's words and added: "Although Bai Ze often pursues girls and tells us that he is serious every time, I always feel that he is feeling something from those girls, or it should be said that he is looking for something. Things. Unfortunately, our gods are born without this kind of emotional sensibility, so I can't give you too many clues."

You are probably the one Bai Ze talks about most often. I haven't seen anyone who can successfully occupy such a long time in his memory. "Feng Feng frowned and said: "Especially in the past few hundred years, as long as you return to Kunlun, you will start pulling us to complain about how you made him angry, or caused him to be dumped by some girl, and you have a bad temper and like to punish him. Always putting up roadblocks for him to fall or fall from heaven to hell or whatever."

The sadness that had been suppressed with great difficulty reappeared again. What Fenghuang and Qilin said were all that he had never experienced before, the other side of Bai Ze.Even though he valued that person so much, he repeatedly hurt him, and even his demise was caused by himself.

No matter what reason Bai Ze saved himself, this decision was too cruel for Ghost Lamp.There are no ifs in this world, but if he is given another chance, he will stay far away from Bai Ze, choose to bury this unknown emotion in his heart, and look at him from afar instead of forcing him to face up to his own feelings.

For thousands of years, he has been desperately chasing Bai Ze's back, like a child asking for candy, always thinking that the other party has not refused and will continue to make mistakes.If his obsession is to push the other party to a dead end, without Bai Ze's existence, what's the point of all this?What's the point of an emotion that feels suffocatingly heavy to anyone?

Ghost Lamp grabbed the mace at the side and got up from the ground, took the child's hand and bid farewell to Phoenix and Qilin who were about to continue chattering: "Thank you for telling me this, but now I am rushing back to collect soul-gathering treasures." Information, I’m afraid we can’t continue talking.”

"Wait, you...Although I don't understand what kind of thinking Bai Ze is holding to save you." Seeing that he was in a hurry to leave, Phoenix pulled him, lowered his head and said in a low voice: "But the road to gathering souls It is longer than you can imagine. If you feel that you can’t go on, just think of him flowing in your blood to be with you now... Maybe this is also his last wish, just like... still It’s like continuing to be by your side.”

Perhaps it was because the depression accumulated over the past few days erupted in an instant, and the eloquent Fenghuang could only spit out some words of comfort that even he felt awkward.

Although they always said that they don't understand human emotions, but at this moment, sad tears did not stop falling from Phoenix's immature face.Their emotions may be more abundant than they imagined, and they may even have softer hearts than many humans.

Looking at his crying ghost lamp, but he couldn't even shed a tear. He was like a traveler standing in the desert whose tears were dried up. He lost his direction and could only drag forward with heavy steps. Law.

"No matter how much time it takes or what price it takes, I will bring him back."

Ghost Lamp clutched his heart, the words seemed to be said to himself, to Phoenix and Qilin, and also to the beating heart in his chest.

■

Zhong put the teacup in front of Wudaohe Guideng: "Please use tea."

It's rare that I don't have a little spare time to go out to chase the escaped dead. I wanted to go out for a stroll, but on the way, I ran into a ghost lamp, and he was holding a child who looked like Bai Ze in his hand, which made her a little concerned, so she turned back Wudao is here.

"So, this child is the container for the wild soul, right?"

The Wheel-Turning King of Five Paths looked down at the expressionless child sitting next to the ghost lamp. How can I say that the container made by Nuwa is irreplaceable, but no matter how fine the human form is, as long as it does not have the weight of the soul inside, at best It's just a simple puppet.

Although he had heard of similar spells, he hadn't practiced them. After all, he was not good at making puppets.But the principle is somewhat similar to summoning zombies, that is, the soul is attached to an object that should be "inanimate" according to theory.

"Let's call him 'Shiro' for now."

Bai uses the Chinese pronunciation "bai" instead of the Japanese "haku". On the one hand, he is different from Bai Ze, and on the other hand, he does not want to be called "container" all the time.

"Okay, about the part you just mentioned, I have read related literature before, but basically they are some spells that give life to dolls, similar to the existence of shikigami. I think it should be somewhat related to your needs Different, if you want to repair or even fuse with the wild soul, just looking for suitable soul fragments is a huge project. What's more, Master Bai Ze is a beast, and it is difficult to find a pure soul that can be merged with the soul of the fairy. I'm afraid it's even higher."

"Mr. Phoenix, on the way to send me back to hell in Japan, once mentioned to me that Mr. Bai Ze has a deep relationship with plants, which is why he chose to study various medicinal herbs. The spirit mends the incomplete."

"Spirit of vegetation...? But there are so many types of plants in the world, where should I start? It would be great if there is the legendary book of divine grass illustrations, but unfortunately it has long been lost, and the only ones that have been handed down are ordinary Herbal Classics That’s all, the text is also incomplete.”

"I have the impression of the Divine Grass Book. There seems to be one at Bai Ze." Zhong came to the side and stared at Bai Zou. Hearing the familiar title, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the five wheel-running kings and said, "Before I often go to Taoyuan Township to beat him, and I used to throw almost everything in the Bliss Full Moon, some thicker books hurt more when smashed, so he would lock the more expensive books in the drawer."

Once when Zhong went to the full moon of bliss, Bai Ze just took out the book and put it on the table to read. After Zhong beat him up, he felt a little bored, so he naturally sat on his back and read the book. If there is no place, just ask the person under the buttocks directly.

"Most of it contains descriptions of what the herbs look like, where they grow, and the illustrations drawn by Bai Ze himself. There is a plant named "Golden Snake Gu" in the temple. It looks like a snake on the outside, but it is actually a plant. It was drawn by Bai Ze like a worm wrapped around a tree. If you look for it according to his drawing You probably won’t find it in your lifetime.”

"Since we know the whereabouts of the book, it will be easier to deal with. If we don't understand, it may be clearer to ask Mr. Wood Spirit. He lived no less than Mr. Bai Ze, not to mention that he himself was transformed from vegetation. "

After that, Ghost Lantern went to Taoyuan Township, and found the illustrated book of divine grass in a hidden drawer.He sat on Bai Ze's usual chair and quickly jotted down a few key points while watching, and then took Bai to the present world to look for wood spirits.

Mu Ling was very surprised to see the miniature version of Bai Ze, he jumped down from the tree and approached the expressionless child for a closer look.Before asking, Ghost Lamp first told him about Bai Ze, and asked about some questionable parts in the Divine Grass Guide.

"I was taken aback just now. I thought Lord Bai Ze finally had an illegitimate child... Uh, let's not talk about that." Ghost Lamp's expression was so serious that the wood spirit couldn't continue, so he scratched his head and picked up a branch beside him. On the dry soil began to draw sketches that looked like hieroglyphs: "The so-called spirits of plants and trees do not actually refer to simple plants and trees, but the hidden spirits hidden in the spirit grass and sacred trees."

"What do you mean by spirit?"

"Lingyun is simply the soul crystallization of grass and trees, and various forms are possible. Like the twin fruit of ice and fire in this page, I have seen it once on the ice and fire island. The constantly beating flame is completely covered by the ice. Wrapped inside, that flame is the soul of the twin fruit of ice and fire."

"So how do you judge the fastest way?"

"If I'm not wrong, Bai should be able to judge for himself." The wood spirit raised his head from his masterpiece and looked at the ghost lamp: "According to the records in this book, except for wild places, spirit grass and god trees are everywhere. Cave Heaven and Paradise, other locations with incomplete records may have to be lucky. What’s more, there are a lot of spiritual herbs, this child may be able to help you find the one that contains the spirit of grass and trees.”

From the point of view of Taoism, Dongtian blessed land is ten continents and three islands, ten caves, 36 small caves and 72 blessed places. These spirits of plants and trees that can be named are relatively easy to find.As for those vague place names and areas that are difficult to identify, I am afraid it will not be so easy to find. If you can get more than half of the spiritual objects recorded in this book within a hundred years, you will have to laugh.

"What do you mean by making your own judgment?"

"Come and do an experiment to find out. I happen to be looking after a Ningbi grass that contains the spirit of vegetation mixed in the sea of ​​flowers. Let him try it."

The ghost lamp followed the wood spirit to the deep mountains, and stopped in front of a whole sea of ​​flowers. To be precise, only the ghost lamp and the wood spirit stayed.Bai continued to walk forward alone, and finally stopped in the depths of the sea of ​​flowers. The Ningbi flower, which was originally in bud, gradually bloomed after he approached, and a round ball emitting warm light floated from it, which melted after floating The entrance disappeared without a trace.

As for whether this ability was a gift from Nuwa or an order from Fuxi, there is no way to verify it.This child's ability has helped a lot, and can save a lot of time in blind searching.

"It's not in vain that I've grown Ningbi flowers for so long, and it's finally useful." The wood spirit nodded cheerfully, "I wanted to show it to Momotaro to see if he could make me a medicine for hay fever... Uh, don't look at it like this Me, hay fever has troubled me for a long time! Although the spirit of grass and trees is rare, it is usually useless..."

For the next hundred years, the ghost lamp took Bai to visit the Paradise of the Cave and the wilderness. If he encountered a more dangerous place, he would let Bai wait by the side, and he took the risk of himself to get the spirit of the grass and trees.

He once endured the scorching heat for several hours in the flames to find burning grass, and also dived back and forth into the icy deep pool to endure the biting cold just to get the snowflakes hidden in the deep pool, and set foot on the flaming mountain to endure The heat seeks the legendary Heart Ape Fruit, breaks into the Nuwa Temple in Miaojiang to obtain the Golden Snake Gu that is never given to outsiders, goes deep into the Ice and Fire Island to find the Ice and Fire Twin Fruit mentioned by the wood spirit, and visits the unfathomable caves in the jungle mystery Find the quiet Kui wood, trek through the desert and dive into the depths of the quicksand to obtain the bright desert pearl...

The journey seems to be endless, his hair grows gradually but he doesn't even want to spend the time to cut it off, he just randomly takes the hair bundle and tie it in a bun behind his head.Although it looks like he has returned to the Japanese hell before he was formed, his mental state has traveled thousands of miles and is no longer the same.

Even if I stop to rest and eat, it is only for the next journey to be smoother. I often study where to go next while eating to achieve my goal.Of course, during this period, he also received a lot of help from Qilin and Fenghuang, who helped him visit many fairylands that were not fully recorded in the books to search for spirits.

The harsh journey is far away, and sometimes he has to fight monsters. If he judges that the situation is dangerous, he will place Bai in the previous village and choose to go alone.

These plants are more important than their own safety. In order to bring back these plants that may have spirits, Ghost Lantern often chooses to protect them even if he is injured.But in this way, he suffered severe burns, scalds, and frostbites over and over again, or skin and flesh injuries with deep bone visible. The old scars were added before the old scars healed. He desperately wants to get the pace of the spirit.

Although the process was very difficult, what is reassuring is that with the absorption of the spirit, Bai's body gradually broke away from the shape of a child, and now it has grown to the point where he is only a head shorter than him after a hundred years, except for the still expressionless face. It can be said that it is almost exactly the same.

Sometimes the ghost lamp will have a kind of Bai Ze who has returned to his side, bathed in the moonlight.After being stunned for a few seconds, what followed was the heart-wrenching pain after waking up from the dream.

He stroked Bai's head with his bandaged hand, "This is the last plant, we will go back to hell in Japan after we absorb this plant." The ball of Crimson Zhi grass danced on Bai's palm, and Bai did not immediately Absorbing it, he raised the hand of the ghost lamp and gently rubbed the palm of his hand that could only feel the touch of the bandage now.

The moment Ling Yun disappeared into Bai Xin's mouth, Bai raised his head holding the ghost lamp's arm and lightly touched his knife-thin lips, saying the first and last sentence in the past hundred years.

"———."

Bai Ze's longing, Bai Ze's emotion, Bai Ze's regret, and what he couldn't say, although the voice was very small and hoarse, he was sure that the other party could hear the volume. He desperately seized the last chance and tried his best to convey it to that person. For his man who is always covered in bruises.

"White!"

Before Gui Deng could recover from that sentence, he hurriedly stretched out his arms to hug Bai who fell to his side.Could it be that there was something wrong with the grass just now?Did he make a mistake?Thinking of the possibility of losing Bai and Bai Ze, he was filled with fear in his heart who had never been afraid of those terrifying monsters.

He finally got to this point, and he didn't allow this kind of mistake to happen.He picked up the fainted Bai Daheng and rushed back to the Japanese hell.

The Wudao Runlun King who was tasting tea picked up the dossier on the table to start today's pre-trial preparations, but just as he picked it up, he heard a flurry of footsteps rushing towards this side, and kicked the door away in the next second enter.

I thought it was Zhong Zhong who appeared at the door, but it was the always polite assistant officer. Before he had time to think about why the ghost lamp that he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly became so rough, he saw him put Bai aside with a rare look of embarrassment.
