Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 124 The World in the Mirror
In the gloomy and dark place, the cold wind was howling, and countless wronged souls were howling. Their faces were distorted in the white smoke, and they were roaring miserably, threatening to devour the two of them.

Ao Qin's heart tightened and he unconsciously tightened the weapon in his hand.

Ye Beixuan, however, remained composed, a faint smile on his face. He slowly raised the jade flute in his hand and placed it to his lips. A mysterious sound emerged, the very same "Reincarnation Song."

The sound of the flute is like a clear spring, soothing the dead silent space.

And those ghosts that rushed in madly seemed to be affected by some kind of power, and their faces gradually became confused.

As the flute continued to play, mysterious rays of light carrying mysterious runes spread across the entire Yellow Springs Road, shrouding this silent space, like an invisible net dragging those ghosts.

The ghosts stopped struggling, their faces in the white smoke gradually became calm, and the resentment and pain in their eyes slowly dissipated.

Guided by the musical notes, they slowly turned around and floated towards the Naihe Bridge. The flute music continued, and the ghosts moved towards the Naihe Bridge step by step.

Finally, the last wisp of white smoke passed over the Naihe Bridge. Ye Beixuan exhaled tiredly and put down the jade flute. Silence returned to the surroundings, with only the lingering sound of the flute.

"Let's go." Ye Beixuan suddenly said.

Looking at the large number of ghosts that are no longer there, Ao Qin has not recovered yet. This guy is really weird. No wonder my father wanted to marry me to him. I wonder if it is too late to regret now?
"Where are we going?" Ao Qin asked subconsciously.

"Stupid!" Ye Beixuan gently tapped Ao Qin's head and said, "If the ghosts are going that way, then we must be going this way! Can you still follow them?"

After saying that, the two began to walk in the opposite direction of the ghost. On the road to the underworld, the flowers of the other shore bloomed.

How beautiful and deadly these flowers look, they sparkle like rubies, beckoning people to pick them.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a bright spot finally appeared ahead. Ye Beixuan said with joy, "There's an exit ahead."

At this time, the road to Huangquan was narrow and steep, with cliffs on both sides. Looking down, one could feel a gloomy air coming towards him.

The place below was like the eighteen levels of hell, with countless wronged souls crying, making people feel creepy. Not far from the end of the road, there was an open door, and the other side of the door was filled with the breath of the world of the living.

"Tsk tsk tsk" a slight sound was heard.

Ye Beixuan and Ao Qin's hearts suddenly tightened, and their expressions became alert. They saw countless black shadows slowly floating up from the bottom of the cliff and appeared in front of them.

"It seems that we are really going to die together this time." Ao Qin said calmly.

"It should be safe on the other side of the door." Ye Beixuan said with a frown, looking at the countless black shadows while holding the Immortal Sword.

The two stopped talking and suddenly rushed towards the door at the same time.

The black shadows immediately stepped forward to block them, their sharp claws emitting a faint red light. Everyone knew that being caught by them would be a very unpleasant experience.

Ao Qin was gradually running out of strength at this moment. The two of them had been fighting continuously without any replenishment, and they were both at the end of their strength.

Ye Beixuan knew that he would surely die if he continued like this, so he took a deep breath and the Immortal-Slaying Sword shone brightly. He swung the sword with all his strength and a powerful sword energy carrying the Nanming Lihuo shot up into the sky. The black shadow was instantly annihilated when it came into contact with the sword energy, and it also temporarily forced them back.

Taking advantage of this gap, he hugged Ao Qin, who was almost unable to hold on, kicked his feet hard, exerted his last strength, and crashed into the door.

boom!
With a loud bang, the door that had stood for who knows how many years was smashed into pieces. Before they could react, they heard the whistling of wind in their ears. This was because they were falling at a very fast speed.

The white light was so bright that they could not see their surroundings at all. They were like blind people. It turned out that there was no difference between extreme brightness and extreme darkness. The only real feeling at this moment was the increasing sense of weightlessness.

After a while, there was a dull thud, and Ye Beixuan felt sore all over. The touch in his hands was extremely soft, and there was a soft jade fragrance in his arms. When he opened his eyes again, the surroundings were no longer so dazzling. What caught his eye made him stunned.

This is a deep pit of neither too big nor too small, like a large ancient well. The pit is surrounded by mirrors. Ye Beixuan in the mirror looked up, and the bright and dazzling light shone directly at him, just like looking at the sky from a well.

There was a half-hidden mirror door in front of the mirror wall of the pit, and from time to time a gust of cold wind came from the other side of the door, causing the door to move back and forth and make strange creaking sounds.

"Hmm" a slight humming sound was heard, Ao Qin rubbed his head gently against Ye Beixuan's chest, hissed, then frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

When Ao Qin found him so close, she was stunned, and then she found that she was hugging him tightly, and her face suddenly turned red.

To ease the awkwardness, she changed the subject and asked, "Where is this?"

"I don't know. I just know that there are mirrors all around." Ye Beixuan frowned. He thought he could return to the world of the living by rushing through the wooden door, but he didn't expect to come to an even more bizarre place.

So he continued in a rather serious tone, "This place is just as strange as the Yellow Springs Road, so be careful. I'll go up there first to see if there's a way out. You wait here."

"Yeah," Ao Qin replied softly.

Ye Beixuan immediately looked towards the dazzling white light, then kicked his legs hard and his body soared into the sky. As soon as he reached the top of the pit, the dazzling white light made his eyes suddenly hurt, and then he became temporarily blind.

Helplessly, he slowly fell into the pit. Rubbing his swollen eyes, he said in a deep voice, "No, it's too bright there."

"What should we do?" Ao Qin was also at a loss at this moment. After all, even a dragon like her who had lived for a long time had never seen such a strange situation.

Ye Beixuan looked at the door that was still moving back and forth, and said in a deep voice: "Since going up is not possible, how about we go inside and take a look?"

"Wherever you go, I will go." Ao Qin said in a very affirmative tone.

Ye Beixuan looked at his bitter smile in the mirrors around the pit wall, sighed, slowly opened the door and walked in. Ao Qin followed him in without any hesitation.

Inside the door is a winding corridor and cave. The walls of the cave are made of an unknown material but emit a faint white light, making the cave look as bright as daytime.

The two of them walked forward, one in front and one behind, with a vigilant look on their faces. In this narrow and silent environment, the rustling sound of their footsteps with infinite echoes was particularly obvious.

Tick-tock! A drop of water dripped in the silence. The two paused and listened carefully. Tick-tock, and then another drop of water dripped.

"There seems to be water droplets ahead." Ye Beixuan guessed, "Keep looking inside."

"Water?" Ao Qin's face immediately showed joy. His demonic power had been exhausted, and if there was a spiritual spring, it could help him recover.

"Well, let's go and take a look." After saying that, Ye Beixuan continued to walk inside. Soon, the sound of a faint gurgling water came, and as they continued to go deeper, the sound became louder and louder.

Ye Beixuan showed excitement and quickened his pace. Soon, he saw the true appearance of the flowing water.

This is the end of the passage. Water is flowing on the stone wall at the end. The water falls to the ground and slowly seeps down through the cracks in the ground.

In front of the water flow, there is a stone table with a chess game on it. A stone man is sitting on one side of the table, while the other side is empty.

The two walked forward cautiously. When they got closer, Ye Beixuan's pupils shrank and he exclaimed in an uncontrolled tone: "Lan Ke chess game!"
