Shen Chen's words left me a bit stunned. What does it mean to have me and Little Ink go to the underworld? Can Little Ink go? Oh, right, now Shen Chen has returned to Dark Lord, and he is in charge of everything in the underworld. But that's good, I shouldn't have to worry about Little Ink getting hurt when I get to the underworld. After all, Shen Chen is the supreme ruler of the underworld.
Just as I was pondering, the scenery in front of me changed again. A straight road appeared out of nowhere, and the three of us instantly stood on the road. On the other end of the road was a vast expanse of heavy fog, where nothing could be seen. It seems that the underworld is in that heavy fog.
I looked up and asked Shen Chen, "Shen, should we follow this road?"
"Girl, it seems you've become quite clever, knowing which way to go next. Well done! You deserve some praise. Keep it up in the future," Shen Chen rarely praised me like this, then he took my hand and picked up Little Ink, walking towards the unknown white mist.
Not long after I started walking, I arrived at Before the heavy fog. Looking at the heavy fog so close by, I was very curious whether it was just like the place I had entered before, so dilapidated.
With a curious mindset, I took the first step and walked in. I didn't expect that it would be just like the illusion of the underworld I saw for the first time. Could it be another illusion this time? Will it turn into a dilapidated place after a few more steps? Huh, why hasn't it changed yet? It's been almost a minute, and it hasn't changed. There are no guards on the road inside, and not a single ghost shadow on the road paved with black tourmaline.
"Chen, why is there no one guarding here? Why is it so deserted?" I asked Shen Chen in confusion. Isn't this the underworld? But it shouldn't be. Just now, Shen Chen said that the Yin and Yang path was open and that he would take me and Little Ink back to the underworld. So this must be the underworld, but it's just different from the underworld I saw before, a bit strange.
"People? This is the underworld. How could there be human beings here? If there are human beings, it can only be you two!" Shen Chen deliberately pointed out my language mistake, teasingly smiling.
"Hate it, the point is not about this, the point is why there isn't even half a ghost shadow here?" I pretended to be angry.
"Because this is the Underworld Forbidden Area, only the Master has the right to enter. Otherwise, the ghosts who enter here will be struck by heavenly thunder and their souls will be scattered, never to be reincarnated." Shen Chen said this very seriously.
"Is it okay for me and Little Ink to come in, or rather, is Little Ink okay? I don't really care." I snatched Little Ink from Shen Chen's arms and looked around nervously, asking.
"Relax, woman. You two were allowed in by Master, so nothing will happen. Later, Master will set up the altar and we will pray to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. You two must also sincerely kneel and pray, otherwise if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gets angry, not even Master can save you," Shen Chen once again solemnly advised me and Little Ink.
"Daddy, we will definitely be sincere. Little Ink knows that this is to save Mommy. Mommy, you also need to be sincere." Before I could say anything, Little Ink was the first to speak to me like a little adult.
Seeing the two of them smiling, I decided to come clean with them: "Little Ink, Chen, you don't need to worry. I forgot to tell you a secret, which is that I am actually a closed-door disciple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. How about that? Listen, as long as I have the opportunity to contact him, I can ask him for help."
Unfortunately, after I finished speaking, there were no envious or jealous looks, only a Are you silly look of pity, which made me very angry and I said, "Hey, what kind of look is that from you two? Don't you believe me? Let me tell you, I really didn't lie to you. Do I look like a liar with such a pure appearance?"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the two of them say in unison, "Not like, but actually a liar."
"You, all of you... forget it, I won't talk to you. You don't believe me, right? You'll be in for a big surprise later." I saw the two of them with a Are you silly expression, and I couldn't help but growl in anger.
"Mommy, I know you're feeling confused right now, afraid that Daddy can't ask for help from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. But Mommy, no matter what, Little Ink will protect you. You will be fine, you won't become a sinner of human beings." Finally, when Little Ink saw that I was really angry, he immediately kissed my face and promised.
"Women, Little Ink is right. With Master here, you'll be fine. Let's not waste any more time. Let's start entering the altar now," Shen Chen came over and patted my back, saying.
"What, we still have to enter the altar?" I muttered to myself. Could it be very dangerous to perform a sacrifice? My curiosity made me ignore Shen Chen's words and I started looking around for the entrance to the altar.
"Women, what are you looking at? Close your eyes and hold Master's hand, then you can enter." At this moment, Shen Chen suddenly spoke, startling me.
But I obediently closed my eyes, and then I only felt a dizzying sensation, as if falling from a great height, very weightless and uncomfortable. I didn't know how long it lasted until I finally felt solid ground beneath my feet, and I could also feel a scorching sensation in the air around me.
It feels a bit like being close to volcanic magma, but fortunately Shen Chen opened my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I found that there was indeed magma all around, like hell, and we were on a large rock in the middle of the magma. The rock was very large, about the size of a small soccer field.
In the middle of this large rock, there was a black square platform with a bowl-sized hole in the middle. I could feel bursts of cold air coming out of the hole, which made me very anxious. Instinctively, I moved closer to the magma, and if it weren't so hot, I would have wanted to jump directly into the magma because the cold air from the hole was too icy and my little heart couldn't take it.
"What's wrong, woman? Didn't you say you are a disciple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? How come you can't even reach the sacrificial platform? That's set up by your master. You should adapt to it." Shen Chenjian teased me again, and I found that he is not comfortable when he doesn't tease me for a while.
But I have thick skin, and I forced a smile and said, "Chen, you didn't listen to all of my words. I said I am just a disciple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and I am newly accepted. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sympathizes with me and will only formally accept me as a disciple when my life ends. Do you think I should know about the mechanism set up by my master?"
"Women, you really are becoming more and more truthful. So, tell me, how did you see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Shen Chen still had a serious expression on his face.
"Sigh," I sighed, then continued, "It's no use for me to say anything now. If Yan Qing were here, that would be great. It's the only thing that happened to me after entering the underworld for the first time, before seeing Yan Qing." I hurriedly explained.
"Turns out you've been to the underworld. Tell us about it in detail. Anyway, we have to sit here for a day to get rid of the dust and such from the human world," Shen Chen said, finding a spot and sitting down, cross-legged like in meditation.
"Yeah, Mommy, when did you go to the underworld? And how did you end up with such a powerful master? If you have such a powerful master, why do you still get bullied everywhere?" Little Ink also curiously asked me.
"Alas, it's all because of Mommy's carelessness. I didn't expect to ask Master for his contact information." I said with a regretful expression. Then I briefly summarized the things that happened when I went to the underworld to Shen Chen and Little Ink, but I didn't go into much detail.
"Girl, just now I praised you for being smart, but now Master finds you to be foolish. Fortunately, Master likes your foolish appearance. You've recognized a master who is extremely powerful, but you still can't make any progress. What's the point!" Shen Chen said to me with a disappointed look.
"Yes, I'm just stupid. So what? Do you have the ability to bite me?" I immediately shouted at Shen Chen in a petulant manner, feeling annoyed by the remarks.
"Mommy, are you telling the truth? Why does Little Ink feel like you're getting angry because your lie has been exposed?" Suddenly, Little Ink said this to me, making me break out in a cold sweat.
And over here, Shen Chen unexpectedly showed no trace of the Dark Lord, and just laughed so hard that he fell to the ground, I really don't know how to describe my feelings at this moment.
"Hey! Isn't this His Excellency's obedient disciple? Could it be that your life has come to an end? No, wait, His Excellency checked before and your lifespan wasn't this short!" In the midst of Shen Chen's laughter, the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly drifted down from the sky.
"Master, it's really you. Look at these two, they don't believe I'm your disciple. It's a good thing you came, otherwise I wouldn't know when they would stop laughing at me," I said half-annoyed and half-angry to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the sky.
"Who dares to make fun of His Excellency's disciple? Are they tired of living? Even if you are the Dark Lord, it's not allowed," as soon as my master heard my complaint, he immediately put on a stern face and shouted at Shen Chen.
Ga... Shen Chen immediately stopped laughing and quickly prostrated himself on the ground, respectfully saying, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, please don't be angry. Master, how could I dare to make fun of your disciple? Master and I were just having a pleasant conversation with your disciple. Don't you believe me? You can ask your disciple if it's true." After saying this, he even winked at me behind my master's back.
Ignoring his hint, I directly went to my master with Little Ink in my arms, acting coquettishly, "Master, look, this is your granddisciple, um, should I call him granddisciple? Because he is my son. Come on, son, quickly call Ancestral Master, this is Mommy's master."
"Ancestral Master Good." Upon hearing this, Little Ink immediately struggled out of my embrace. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he knelt down and kowtowed to the master. Little Ink is truly perceptive.
"Oh, this kid is so sweet-tongued. His Excellency likes him very much. Let His Excellency hold him." Perhaps the master has a soft spot, as upon hearing about my son, he immediately gestured for Little Ink to come over.
Little Ink This little guy really has sharp eyes. He immediately lifted his little short legs and ran towards his master with a cute smile on his face. When he reached his master, he directly threw himself into his master's arms and kissed him fiercely. This made his master very happy. Perhaps it's been a long time since anyone, or even a ghost, has been close to him, so I can tell that his master really likes Little Ink.
Little Ink This guy really sees that his master likes him. He immediately took advantage of the situation and sweetly said, "Ancestral Master, the one kneeling on the ground is Little Ink's Daddy. Ancestral Master, can you let him stand up too?"
