shadow pool

I stayed with Yanchi like this and lived in the cave on Tianji Island.

Regarding what happened that night, I also asked Yanchi carefully, because the gate of the underworld will only open every 50 years, and I have only been in the human world for a few years, so the gate of the underworld will not open, those Undead souls will not come out either.

When Yan Chi mentioned this question, his expression changed.He didn't answer my question, but asked me first, what is my identity in Huangquan Hell.I told him honestly that I am a trash-like young master.

Yan Chi patted my hand and said with a smile, the young master who is like a waste forced those undead souls who made troubles back.

I suddenly had a sense of accomplishment.

Later, Yanchi told me that something happened in the Yellow Springs Hell, and that day a large number of undead souls emerged in large areas, and these undead souls were aggressive, attacking everyone, which caused them to be negligent in guarding against them and controlled by them.As for why such an abnormal situation occurred, Yan Chi said that his master would investigate carefully.

My heart twitched fiercely. My father didn't know what was going on now. He must have known about what had happened in Huangquan Hell.It's a pity that now that the gate of Huangquan Hell has been closed, I can't go back, otherwise I really want to go back and ask for clarification.

Yanchi saw my worry, patted my hand and comforted me, saying that nothing will happen, the Lord of Huangquan is an indispensable person to suppress Huangquan Hell, if something happens to him, those who are locked in Huangquan Hell His undead soul came to the human world early.

Even though Yan Chi said so, my heart still couldn't let go.But there is no way, I can't go back, I can only wait.

Then, many years passed.I am gradually able to be exposed to the sun, but long-term exposure to the sun will still have some impact on me, but it doesn't matter, even if I don't see the sun for a lifetime, as long as I can see the smoke pool, I will be enough.

We are tired of being together every day, studying spiritual arts, learning about spiritual power, and we are very happy every day.The only regret is that no matter how I cultivate, I still maintain the appearance of a skeleton.

For this reason, I often hold my head in front of the bronze mirror that Yanchi brought from his room, and ask Yanchi resentfully, if I look like this all my life, will you despise me?

Yan Chi smiled and patted my head, saying no matter what, I like it and will not dislike it.

He doesn't hate me, but I hate myself.Not only did I fail to become an adult, but my size also stopped growing. When I was right next to his ear, I stopped growing.I haven't grown taller for several years, and I'm so angry that my teeth itch. Every morning when I wake up, my first thing is to run to Yan Chi, who got up early, and use him as a template to measure whether I have grown taller.

Day after day, year after year, but I never grew taller.For this reason, Yanchi laughed at me for a long time.

I was so angry that I ate more meat every day and went out to exercise. I was going to grow taller than Yanchi.Because I want to hold Yanchi in my arms, instead of letting him touch my head condescendingly...

Later, Yan Chi said, it doesn't matter if you are tall or not, as long as you can stay with me for the rest of your life.I angrily refuted him, saying that not only in this life, but also in the next life, I will be with you from generation to generation.

After hearing what I said, Yan Chi patted my head and smiled without saying a word.

At that time, I didn't understand the meaning of Yanchi's smile, I just foolishly thought that Yanchi was shy.It was not until a long time later that I realized that his smile at that time contained a bit of bitterness and bitterness.

The almanac has been turned over page by page, and time has passed quietly.

I still maintain my skeleton body, immortal, but Yanchi is old.

When I saw his first wrinkles on Yanchi's face, I learned from him that his spiritual roots are different from ordinary people's. He can cultivate spiritually, but he can't live long. he will return to dust.

When I heard the news, I was shocked beyond words. This means that one day Yanchi will leave me and reincarnate.

At that moment, I knew the difference between human beings and spiritual beings.

I suddenly remembered Tian Shi's meaningful words at that time. He said that as long as there is no regret after a hundred years, maybe he had already guessed the parting we were about to face, so he said that.

But I don't regret it, I never regret being with Yanchi, I only regret why I didn't meet him early and reverse his flaws before reincarnation.

I secretly went to find Tian Shi without telling Yan Chi—God knows where I got the courage from.It was very difficult to see Tian Shi, but it seemed that he had anticipated my arrival, and retreated all those who might block me, and received me directly.

He opened his mouth and asked, I want to find a way to prolong Yanchi's life.

I nodded and said yes.

He answered me four words very bluntly, there is no way.

I don't believe it, I said he is so supernatural, how can there be no way.

He looked at me deeply and let out a long sigh. He said that Yanchi was his favorite disciple, and he also wanted to prolong Yanchi's life. He had tried many methods, but none of them worked.Yanchi's natural flaws cannot be made up for after tomorrow, so when Yanchi proposed to be with me, he only agreed after a moment of hesitation.Since he can't live the same life as the sky, let Yan Chi enjoy happiness in the only time he has.

I stared at him blankly, unable to refute, I said I don't believe it, I will definitely find a way to prolong Yanchi's life.

But Tian Shi's words dispelled all my thoughts.

He said that instead of spending time looking for a way to prolong Yanchi's life, it would be better to spend more time with him in the limited time.What's more, once Yanchi is an ordinary mortal body, once buried in the earth, he will go down to the Underworld Hell. At that time, with my ability, I am afraid that Yanchi will not be able to accompany him forever?

That's right, if Yanchi is buried in the ground, it will definitely go to Huangquan Hell, and there is my territory, as long as I talk to my father, I will definitely be able to save Yanchi.

I went back happily, holding Yan Chi who was no longer young, and expressed my thoughts.Yan Chi smiled, he didn't say much, grabbed my hand, interlocked my fingers, and gently leaned his head on my shoulder.

In the first year I came to the human world, the gate of hell opened in the underworld. I saw the familiar Yinwei, went up to say hello, and asked about their father's recent situation.They said that my father was fine, except that he was accidentally injured decades ago and his immortal soul escaped from the human world, nothing serious happened.

Surprised, I asked them if their father was okay. They said that he was fine now, but they heard that I was in the human world and missed him very much.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had not seen my father for 50 years.For the immortal soul, 50 years is actually very short, but for our father and son who have not seen each other all year round, it is very long.

However, I can't go back yet.I held Yanchi who came, and said to the Yinwei, I want to stay in the human world and accompany Yanchi to complete this journey.My father never dies, and I still have a lot of time to accompany him, but I can only accompany him in Yanchi for the past few decades.

Yinwei returned with my greetings, and my contact with my father was also severed.

Yanchi asked me if I regretted it, and I said, I was with Yanchi, and I never thought about the word regret.

At that moment, Yanchi smiled.

It seems that I lost motivation because I saw Yanchi, and my spiritual power increased slowly. This made Yanchi anxious, and he wished to leave me again, so as to promote my spiritual power.

But I refused, and kept pestering him not to let him go anywhere. I said that I can go out and be exposed to the sun and hide my yin energy, so what's the use of having such a high spiritual power.

Yanchi followed me later and didn't urge me any more.In order to prove that the level of spiritual power has little effect on me, whenever the sun is sunny, I will take Yanchi out to bask in the sun and take a walk.

Originally, Yanchi could walk with me, but later he got old and couldn't walk anymore, so I had to carry him on his back.

And later, later...

Later, he was too old to get up.

My smoke pool is completely old, the former beauty has been replaced by old wrinkles, the former smile is only full of grooves, but I will always be young in my heart.

I feel the life of Yanchi slowly disappearing. Every day when I wake up, I will put my hand on his nose until I feel his breathing, and then I can continue to sleep soundly.

I never had a good night's sleep again, and lived in fear every day. There are still five years before the opening of Huangquan Hell. If Yanchi leaves at this time, I will have to wait another five years before I can see him.

I was afraid of waiting, afraid of not seeing him.

But human life is always so fragile, Yanchi finally left.

At that moment, he returned to the light, smiled and held my hand, and said in a voice that was no longer young: "Song, meeting you in this life is my greatest happiness. It's a pity that I didn't get to see your human form. It's a pity, pity……"

I burst into tears.

I carefully picked up the old Yan Chi, stroked his face again and again, he smiled and said: "Kong, your hands are so warm..."

My tears stopped, and in an instant, it was like rain again.

I am an immortal soul, the soul of the underworld, my body temperature is always cold, how can he feel warm.

"Yanchi, Yanchi..." I called his name repeatedly, at first he could answer softly, but then his voice disappeared.

The last ray of breath scattered in the palm of my hand, Yan Chi leaned his head lightly on my shoulder, and passed away with a smile on his face.

My smoke pool, in the five years of No.90 that accompanied me, bid farewell to me.

This year, Yanchi was 110 years old.
