Chapter 18 Life and Death

When Mu Bei woke up on the second day, his head was a little groggy.It was already broad daylight, and he raised his arms to shield his eyes.The mood from last night had gone down, and he couldn't help but dislike his worthless self.

Sitting next to him, Zuo Hufa laughed when he saw Cheng Mubei wake up, "Are you awake?"

"Well," Cheng Mubei climbed out of the bed, "I was in trouble last night." As he spoke, he glanced at the dirty clothes on the ground, didn't bother to pick them up, and walked straight out the door.

"You want to leave after sleeping?" Zuo Hufa said with a little regret, "So irresponsible..."

Cheng Mubei sneered, "I really slept with you, can you still sit properly now?" After speaking, he left Guardian Zuo stunned and left.It took a while for Zuo Hufa to react, and said angrily, "Damn!"

Cheng Mubei packed himself up and went to the place where Jiu Gui was imprisoned. Jiu Gui might not have slept all night, and his protruding eyes were bloodshot.Seeing Cheng Mubei, he hoarsely said, "I don't know anything, why are you here?"

"Chat," Cheng Mubei lazily took out a bag of dried fruit from his pocket, threw an almond into his mouth and chewed, "Anyway, my father won't let me go out of Jiubei Pavilion, so I'll find someone to relieve my boredom." He also handed the dried fruit to Jiugui, "Do you want to eat it?" Jiugui's hands were tied, Cheng Mubei glanced at the iron chain, and then said slowly, "Forget it, you can't eat it, I will eat it Bar."

Jiugui didn't make a sound, and after a long time, he laughed.

"How did you raise that nest of pirated colorful snakes?" Cheng Mubei spent almost seven years raising that nest of colorful snakes. He protected them as a treasure, and only let Jiugui help feed them.

Jiugui didn't expect Cheng Mubei to ask this, and he was taken aback before answering, "I raised it like you, but I don't have your medicine."

"Then why did you sell to Prisoner Valley?"

Jiu Gui lowered his gaze, "If someone buys it, he will sell it."

"Heh," Cheng Mubei laughed shortly, did it mean the Cliff of Life and Death? "Speaking, Cheng Mubei continued to say, "Jiugui, I don't understand, if it's because of my mother, what can Life and Death Cliff give you?" "

Jiu Gui was silent, and then showed a strange smile, "You won't understand."

Cheng Mubei and Jiugui confronted each other, and shrugged after a long time, "Forget it, you have stayed in Jiubei Pavilion for so many years, and you have watched me grow up..."

"The person I... like is trapped on the cliff of life and death."

Sure enough, Jiugui suddenly raised his head and heard Cheng Mubei continue to say, "Although my father has trapped me in Jiubei Pavilion, I will always go to him."

Jiu Gui didn't speak, and looked at Cheng Mubei carefully, as if he was recalling something.Then, he smiled, "Don't you think I want you to die together on the cliff of life and death?"

"do not think so."

Cheng Mubei saw that Jiugui's eyes widened, and he said after a long time, "When you enter the Cliff of Life and Death, there will be a Valley of Lost Souls, and I have only been there once. If you fall into the Valley of Lost Souls and cannot get out for half an hour, you will fall into the Valley of Lost Souls." Into the return of children."

"Back to the Children's Formation?" Cheng Mubei frowned...

Mu Zhen and Shen Jiansheng rested in the small house overnight, and walked around several times, but still couldn't find a way out.The rotting corpse in the corner of the room floated in the air with a foul smell.

"It's a bit strange," Mu Zhen pulled a stool and sat on it, "I always feel that my body is not normal."

Shen Jiansheng looked at Mu Zhen, Mu Zhen looked very young, her brows and eyes were cold and stern, but now she looked a little green.

"I think...here, I'm afraid time is going backwards..." Shen Jiansheng said with some difficulty, his eyes fell on the rotting corpse in the corner, "I'm afraid...he wasn't a child after all."

After Cheng Mubei came out of the room where Jiugui was imprisoned, he was still a little out of his mind, and he didn't realize until Zuo Hufa reached out and shook his hand in front of him for a few times, "What's wrong?"

"what happened to you?"

Cheng Mubei shook his head, "I have to go to Life and Death Cliff."

"Life and Death Cliff? Are you going now?" Zuo Hufa frowned.While they were talking, someone knocked on the door.Uncle Dumb stood outside the door and saluted the two of them respectfully.Cheng Mubei hurriedly waved his hand, "Uncle Dumb, you told me you don't need to salute me." He also glanced at Guardian Zuo beside him, "Don't worry about him." Uncle Dumb smiled kindly, and handed it to Cheng Mubei. A letter from Mu Bei.

It was a letter from Beiyuan - Ouyang Chun was captured and Ouyang Qiu ran away.

The letter didn't mention how Ouyang Qiu ran away, but Cheng Mubei saw Ouyang Qiu before he left, so he probably didn't run far.What Beiyuan meant was that he sent people to search for Ouyang Qiu, while Cheng Mubei went to block the entrance of Life and Death Cliff.

It's true that someone gave me a pillow as soon as I dozed off.

Cheng Mubei picked up the letter paper and waved it in front of Zuo Protector, "Life and Death Cliff, let's go?"

Guardian Zuo saw Cheng Mubei's eagerness to cross the cliff of life and death in one step, and snorted bitterly, "Go, it's okay anyway."

Cheng Mubei went to gather a group of people, and according to Beiyuan's instructions, he explained their tasks and the ambush location on the Cliff of Life and Death, and then let them go.

The two of them who hadn't had a good rest set off to the Cliff of Life and Death again, and Cheng Mubei specially dragged Jiu Gui with him before leaving.Jiugui refused to cooperate at first, but Cheng Mubei squeezed his chin and stuffed a medicine into it, and said viciously to Jiugui, "Do you really believe in people from Life and Death Cliff? I don't know what Ouyang Qiu told you , but I feel that if I die with the wrong truth in mind, I will definitely die with regret.”

So Jiugui was dragged away.

Jiubei Pavilion and the Cliff of Life and Death are far away, dragging the frail Jiugui to walk even slower.The two stopped and walked for a day before arriving near the Cliff of Life and Death.

"This is the Valley of Lost Souls." Jiugui looked around, but he didn't know that Cheng Mubei's words had touched him, and Jiugui was quite cooperative along the way.

Cheng Mubei paused, looking at the ordinary scenery around him.It was already getting late, the edge of the sky was smeared with sunset glow, but night had already drawn in the middle.

"Why do I get lost when I go in?" Cheng Mubei didn't notice anything unusual here.

Jiu Gui shook his head, "I don't know, it seems to be formed naturally, just like a ghost hitting a wall."

"Then how to get out?"

Jiu Gui then shook his head, "It is said that there are several exits, but you have to rely on luck to find the correct one, or you will fall into the back-to-children camp."

It's really... quite a mysterious place.

Zuo Hufa walked ahead to explore the way, and Cheng Mubei supported Jiu Gui.The road was quite easy to walk, because of the lighting problem, Cheng Mubei had a hard time finding the marks made by Mu Zhen.The three of them walked for a long way before Cheng Mubei saw the mark Mu Zhen had drawn on a tree.

"Here," Cheng Mubei pointed to the flowers drawn by Mu Zhen that symbolize Jiubei Pavilion, "Let's go this way."

The mark was broken at the last tree on this road, and Cheng Mubei held onto Guardian Zuo, "It's right here." He looked around, Mu Zhen and Shen Jiansheng probably fell into the back-to-child formation from here, I can't get out.

Cheng Mubei turned his head to look at Jiugui, "How do you get out after entering the Returning Children's Formation?"

"I don't know. I fell in and the third son Ouyang was inside. He knocked me out and sent me out."

Cheng Mubei frowned, and it took a while before he said, "That means I can come out, I'll go in, you wait outside."

"You..." Zuo Hufa looked at Cheng Mubei, but Cheng Mubei interrupted him, "You guys rest here for a while, if I haven't come out at dawn, you can continue to find the exit."

Jiugui wanted to say something else, but he swallowed it anyway, turned around and found a tree to lean against and fell asleep.Cheng Mubei waved his hand at the left protector, turned around and continued walking.

Cheng Mubei felt that the air changed suddenly, the air outside was more humid and colder, and it became fresher when walking inside.Sure enough, the mark made by Mu Zhen was found inside again. Cheng Mubei followed the mark and walked around, only to realize that he had circled back to the original place.

The subtle changes in the body caught Cheng Mubei's attention, and he couldn't tell what the changes were, but maybe it was because he often fiddled with strange medicines, he was more familiar with the body, and could feel the difference more sensitively.He remembered that he noticed a small room when he was leaving, but he didn't go there because of the sign. It seemed that Mu Zhen and Shen Jiansheng were inside.

He went back along the same road, and suddenly felt a little timid because of his hometown.Jiugui said that people in this return to childhood will gradually become young over time, their minds will not change but their appearance will change, and at a certain age... they will die.

He was still full of curiosity about Shen Jiansheng's young appearance, but meeting him like this would feel weird.However, his entanglement didn't last long, because the originally dark cabin suddenly turned on a light, and someone pushed open the door.

Cheng Mubei saw the beautiful little girl standing at the door, Mu Zhen looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old now, her face did not have her grown-up aloofness and indifference, and the clothes on her body were a bit too big, making her soft and weak.

However, as the youngest elder in Jiubei Pavilion, Mu Zhen leaned against the door frame full of aura, and looked at Cheng Mubei from a distance, "Tsk, you came quite quickly."

Cheng Mubei had no choice but to walk over quickly, and laughed, "Do you think you are easy to bully now?"

Mu Zhen pulled out a sneer that didn't match her appearance, "You can try." Cheng Mubei passed Mu Zhen and saw Shen Jiansheng in the room, and Shen Jiansheng was also looking at him. The young Shen Jiansheng was still cold, a little Lonely, looking at Cheng Mubei, I'm afraid he was a little embarrassed, and he pursed his lips tightly.

"Jian Sheng?" Cheng Mubei looked at Shen Jiansheng's white and tender face, his hands were itchy, so he stepped into the room, and before he could reach out his hand, Shen Jiansheng asked, "Why did you come in?"

"Looking for you." Cheng Mubei completely ignored Mu Zhen's white eyes, and stretched out his hands to pinch Shen Jiansheng's face.

Shen Jiansheng probably wanted to hide, but he held back by tilting his head, and let Cheng Mubei touch it, a layer of blush appeared on his face.Cheng Mubei laughed "hehe" twice, and wanted to come again, but was stopped by the cold-faced Mu Zhen, "Okay, let's think about how to go out with three people."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jiansheng's face became more serious, and he raised his hand to hold Cheng Mubei's hand, ignoring Cheng Mubei's surprise, and said solemnly, "We have found a way to get out, but we can't all go out , at least one person must stay here."
