I open a bookstore in the human world

Perhaps it was the revisit of the old place that touched a string deep in Xie Daonian's soul, or maybe he was too impressed with this place. As he approached, the memories of the past poured out like a tide, rushing towards him, and in his mind All of a sudden, there are countless broken and unfamiliar fragments, among which is the scene in the Broken Abyss.

Xia Lan was overjoyed when she heard the words, and asked with an excited and nervous expression, "Third Prince, what do you remember?"

The sooner the third prince recovers his memory and strength, the better his chances of winning, which is naturally a great thing.

The situation in Xie Daonian's eyes was changing, his brows were tightly furrowed, his lips trembled slightly, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth under Xia Lan's expectant gaze: "Many, there are many scenes, but they are not very coherent..."

Xia Lan was a little disappointed, but she still tried her best to comfort him and comfort herself: "It's okay, it's okay, since the memory has started to recover, it will definitely get better gradually."

Song Lan's concern is on the other hand: "Didn't you say that the memory can only be restored after the soul fragments are completely repaired? What's the situation now? Will he be in any danger?"

As he spoke, his tone became fierce, he stepped forward to block Xie Daonian, and stared at Xia Lan questioningly.

He made up his mind that even if there was something wrong with Xie Daonian, he would take him away from this ghostly place immediately, even if he would be wanted by the underworld later, even if he had to die from then on, he would not hesitate.

Because in his heart, Xie Daonian is more important than anything else.

"It's okay, Song Song." Xie Dao smiled young, and raised his hand to gently stroke Song Lan's hair, as if smoothing the hair of a cat that has always been irritable.

There seemed to be magic in his fingers, and Song Lan gradually calmed down, but looked at Xia Lan with a bit of vigilance.

With Xia Lan's status, she doesn't have to be afraid of a junior ghost like Song Lan at all, but she has nothing to say about the third prince, so she can only hold back her anger and explain forcefully: "Under normal circumstances, It is true that the memory can only be restored after the soul is fully restored, but this is the scene of the third prince's accident. This place is extraordinary to him. Maybe something stimulated him to restore the memory. Don't worry, we are also very happy. I care about the safety of the third prince, and if anything goes wrong, I will immediately protect him and leave here."

The atmosphere on both sides seemed to be tense. Fortunately, another voice appeared at this time, breaking the tense relationship——

"Xia Lan, is this the tone you use when talking to guests?"

This voice... Song Lan was taken aback, her eyes couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice.

A man with a black cloak on his shoulders quietly appeared not far in front of him at some point, his black eyes were full of sharpness, and he was majestic without anger.

Even if he didn't come to the underworld for a long time, even if he only had a glimpse from a distance, Song Lan recognized instantly: this is His Royal Highness Yan Luoping King of the Nine Palaces.

"Master Jiudian." Seeing the person coming, the two confronting ghosts were discouraged and bowed respectfully to each other.No matter how you say it is a leader, you still have to give face.

King Ping's eyes swept over Xia Lan lightly, stayed on Song Lan's face for a second, and finally fell on the silent Xie Daonian's face, and nodded to him: "Here?"

"Here we come." The man in front of him made Xie Daonian feel inexplicably familiar. It seemed that this question had been staged countless times before, and he couldn't help but blurt it out.

Hearing Xie Daonian's answer as usual, Wang Pingping's calm eyes fluctuated slightly, but he was quickly suppressed.He nodded slightly, and made way sideways: "Since you're here, let's go and see the situation."

King Equality took the initiative to lead the way. Even if Song Lan was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow behind. At the same time, he gently tugged on Xie Daonian's sleeve and asked softly, "Do you remember him?"

Xia Lan said that King Pingping and the Third Prince were good friends in the past, who could entrust their lives to each other.After hearing this, Song Lan had to admit that he was indeed a little jealous.

Having been with Song Lan for so long, he knows every movement, every frown and Xie Daonian so well, how can he not know what his little boyfriend is thinking?The corner of his mouth couldn't help a smile, he raised his hand and patted Song Lan's back, tilted his head, leaned close to Song Lan's ear, and asked with a smile, "You're jealous, huh?"

The final sound of "um" rises, with a slight nasal sound, which tickles people's hearts.

Song Lan blushed, turned her head away unnaturally, and argued forcefully, "W-Where is it!"

A low chuckle was his answer.

The two thought that their voices were very low, but they didn't know that there were two sharp-eyed ghosts standing beside them, listening to their conversation verbatim.

Xia Lan curled her lips, disdainfully rejecting this bowl of dog food and kicking over their dog bowl.

It was the first time King Pingping saw Xie and Song getting along, and found that his friend who was always indifferent to others in the past had such a tender side. Evaluation of Song Lan——

"The third prince is destined to have a cause and effect with this person. Perhaps he is the key to saving the third prince."

It was precisely because of this evaluation that Song Lan was selected, which led to a series of subsequent events.

But when I asked the Taishang Laojun what the cause and effect was, the old man kept silent, saying that it was a secret that should not be revealed. Looking back now, maybe he knew something, but he didn't say it on purpose.

After all, even in the heavens, it is not common for a man and a man to fall in love. For Taoists, the combination of yin and yang is the right way. These two men are together, and one of them is so honorable...Equality King can even Imagining the turmoil in the future, I can't help but secretly sweat for my friend.

But the most urgent thing is the monster in the abyss that is about to wake up, and he can't worry about the future.

***

Song Lan didn't expect that the legendary-level killer, the Shattered Abyss, would be such a thing——

This is a well, a well with a diameter of less than two meters, surrounded by green bricks, with intricate patterns engraved on the blue bricks, and a simple and simple well.

But even if it is made of gold, it is still a well.If there is any difference, there is a translucent barrier with golden light hanging above the mouth of the well, which is probably the so-called "seal".

Anyway, it is completely different from the imagined "Abyss".

Before Song Lan could ask a question, Xia Lan nodded and said to herself, "Yes, this is the Broken Abyss."

Probably similar questions have been answered many times, and she opened her mouth and said, "Don't be surprised, let alone think that this is really a well, even though its entrance is so narrow, no one knows how deep and big it is, as recorded in ancient books. It is said that the world in the abyss can hold the entire world and swallow everything in the world—if you can’t understand it, just understand it as a black hole. Don’t get too close, and be careful of being sucked in.”

Song Lan silently took a step back upon hearing this.

Perhaps because of recovering part of his memory, Xie Daonian was much calmer than Song Lan. He asked thoughtfully, "So, the world in the abyss can be regarded as another space?"

"Bingo!" Xia Lan snapped her fingers and looked at Xie Daonian with praise, "In the words of the human world, the abyss is a different-dimensional space. This space is different from the three-dimensional world we live in. It is an extremely unstable space. It has existed since the creation of the world by the Great God Pan Gu, but due to its instability, there has been no sign of life. As long as any creature stays in it for a period of time, no matter how powerful it was before it was alive, it will eventually be trapped in the space all year round. Torn to shreds by the extinguishing storm, the name 'Shattered Abyss' comes from that.

"Over time, the Shattered Abyss has become an excellent place of exile." King Equality continued Xia Lan's words, with a serious tone, "Until that demon appeared, the ancient gods joined forces to deal with this monster that can destroy the world , and exiled it into this space together. The gods originally thought that the monster would be torn apart by the storm in the abyss just like its 'predecessors', but an accident happened."

"The monster was not torn into pieces, but instead mutated?" Song Lan asked suddenly.

King Equality was stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "How do you know?"

"Isn't this obvious? The monster is still alive until now, and it can only be for this reason that it wants to crawl out of the abyss to do evil." Song Lan spread her hands and added, "It's like this in novels. written."

Because there is still a knot in my heart because of the relationship between Xie Daonian and Pingping Wang, Song Lan's tone is not very respectful, and Pingping Wang doesn't care. He just took a deep look at Song Lan, turned his head and said to Xie Daonian: "Your family The kid is quite interesting."

The word "your family" declaring sovereignty relieved the crisis in Song Lan's mind. He was happy and a little shy in his heart. He smiled at King Equality and felt embarrassed for his previous jealousy.

King Pingping is a good ghost, Song Lan thought happily.

King Equality winked at Xie Daonian: The kid is quite easy to coax.

Xie Daonian also looked at him with a smile: I made you laugh.

Turning back to the topic, King Equality continued: "The monster did mutate in the abyss. Not only was it not crushed into pieces by the abyss storm, but it absorbed the energy in the abyss and became stronger. The gods were not prepared, and this monster rushed out of the abyss again to do evil. The gods fought with it for ten years and eight months before shutting it into the abyss again. The seal is to prevent that monster from coming out to make trouble again."

Song Lan and the others knew what happened later, King Equality didn't say much, but said: "The monster's strength has been weakened a lot when it was imprisoned in the abyss again. As long as the seal is still there, the monster can be locked in well." I'm afraid that the seal will loosen..."

With a heavy sigh, King Equality took a deep look at Xie Daonian: "Actually, I shouldn't have come to you now, but among the three worlds, only your power is in the same vein as the ancient gods, and you gave the seal last time." Yes, among the Three Realms, only you are the best candidate—”

"I understand." Xie Daonian nodded, interrupted his friend with a calm tone, "Tell me what to do, and I will strengthen the seal."

Song Lan shuddered, and tightly grabbed the corner of Xie Daonian's clothes.The latter felt his tension, stretched out his hand to pat the back of his hand, and lowered his head to whisper in his ear: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Sensing his warm breath, Song Lan's emotions gradually calmed down. She wrapped her hands around his neck, pressed her lips against his lips, and soon parted.

"Come back soon." Song Lan's eyes were slightly red, even though she was very reluctant to give up, she knew that she couldn't stop her sweetheart.

Who told me to fall in love with the most wise and powerful, strongest and kindest Third Prince of the Heaven Realm among the Three Realms?

Xia Lan took Song Lan away first - it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, Song Lan is not strong enough, and I am afraid that he will be affected by negative emotions in the abyss if he stays for a long time - as a place where monsters and demons have been exiled since ancient times, the abyss has long been polluted. It's a dangerous place without monsters.

"Don't worry too much, the seal is only a little loose this time, and the situation is much better than last time." The sullenness on Song Lan's face was too obvious, and Xia Lan felt a little sorry when she saw it, so she had no choice but to comfort her dryly. .

Song Lan just nodded thoughtfully and didn't speak.

Xia Lan racked her brains, searching for words that could comfort people: "If things go well, they will be back in three days."

Song Lan drooped her eyelids listlessly: she still has to wait three days anxiously.

Xia Lan had no choice but to walk away awkwardly and go to other things.As the chief secretary of Yama of the Nine Palaces, she still has a lot of business to deal with.

For example, dealing with the man with a hippie smile in front of him.
