The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Zuo Nian took out the brush from his waist, dipped it in cinnabar, and drew a strange symbol out of thin air.

As soon as he stopped writing and put the brush back to his waist, the symbol gradually became thinner and longer until it became the size of a hair and explored into the well.

The thin thread emitted a faint light, illuminating the dark well, whose walls were covered with bright green moss.

It lightly touched the water surface, but unexpectedly half of it melted and fell into the water. After a while, it merged into one and was swallowed up by the black water!

When Zuo Nian saw the image transmitted by the talisman, his heart skipped a beat and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.

He clenched his fists tightly, his palms were full of sweat, and a chill ran down his spine, making him shiver involuntarily.

All sorts of terrifying thoughts kept flashing through his mind. Could Mu Qi have met with an accident? Once this thought emerged, it spread like wild weeds in his heart, and he couldn't stop it no matter what.

He shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of these absurd thoughts, but the more he did so, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness became, so that his body began to tremble slightly, and beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

Just as he was racking his brains over how to investigate the matter, he suddenly heard a sharp sound of tearing cloth.

He turned around in astonishment and found that the space beside him was torn into a huge crack as if by an invisible giant hand.

Then, a figure slowly emerged from the crack. Upon closer inspection, it was Hua Ye! She gently embraced Xu Zhi's slender, soft waist, and gracefully landed beside Zuo Nian.

When Hua Ye's beautiful and unforgettable face appeared in front of Zuo Nian without warning, he felt his heart suddenly contract, as if two small hands were tightly grasping his atrium, causing him so much pain that he could hardly breathe.

At the same time, his temples on both sides began to throb violently, and waves of stabbing pain came over him like a tide.

Those memories about Hua Ye now surged out like a flood, becoming extremely clear.

Especially when he saw Hua Ye, his eyes, which were originally as sharp as an eagle, now revealed a kind of reluctance and unwillingness to love someone he couldn't get, and his heart tightened even more.

Zuo Nian didn't dare to look Hua Ye directly in the eye. He could only cautiously glance at her out of the corner of his eye, while deliberately avoiding Xu Zhi's cold and wary eyes.

Although he tried hard to suppress his inner emotions, his body was still shaking uncontrollably, and even his voice was trembling.

"Miss Hua, you're finally here! Major General Mu, for some unknown reason, was suddenly possessed by a demon and captured by the monster in the well!"

"That kid Muqi is here too? He's never practiced magic before, so aren't you sending him to his death by asking him to come along?"

Hua Ye, who has always been stubborn, did not notice the change in his eyes at all. His gaze was always on the ordinary well, and he was worried about Mu Qi.

Zuo Nian felt a little guilty for a moment because of her righteous questioning, and actually admitted it honestly.

"This... is because Zuo is not skilled enough to protect him!"

"It's important to save people first. It's not too late to talk about anything after you save them!"

Hua Ye glanced at Xu Zhi, who was standing beside him with a cold and unhappy face. He was looking at Zuo Nian with a fierce and inquiring look. He couldn't tell what was wrong, but he just felt that something was wrong.

Xu Zhi couldn't help but hug Hua Ye tighter in his arms and echoed, "Saving people is the most important thing!"

Xuzhi shifted his gaze and fixed his eyes on the well, feeling the evil aura emanating from it.

Hua Ye jumped free, drew the soft sword from his waist, took a running start, and then dived into the well with the sword raised.

She gathered all the spiritual energy around her into the tip of the sword, which shone with a sharp cold light and brought pressure, ready to pierce the calm mirror.

When the sword tip touched the water, the opposing forces emitted a black-green and a white light.

It was not until Hua Ye stretched out his other hand and grasped the hilt of the sword to apply pressure that the surface of the water was shattered and rippled, forming a downward passage.

Of the two people outside the well, Zuo Nian looked worried and nervous and wanted to step forward to help several times, but was stopped by Xu Yi.

"She can handle it!"

Xu Zhi was calm and composed, as if he was at ease and determined to win, and was closely sensing the changes in Hua Ye.

Following the voice from Huaye in the well: "Master, the passage in the well is open! You all come down! I'll go down first!"

As he spoke, Hua Ye went in, Xu Zhi teleported in, and Zuo Nian jumped in right after him.

The fog outside the well grew thicker and thicker, covering the wellhead and making it impossible to see its original appearance.

The small village seemed to have never appeared and disappeared in the fog, leaving no trace.

The three of them stayed in that colorful and ever-changing passage for an unknown amount of time before they finally fell into the world at the bottom of the well.

It was dark and damp in there, without a trace of light, and a foul odor emanated from it, which followed their feet to the ground.

The oil lamps, one after another, like ghost lights, slowly illuminated the world at the bottom of the well.

One after another, people were wrapped in green light like cicada pupae, and only their heads were exposed before their eyes.

Those people seemed to be sleeping, but they were mumbling to themselves with their empty eyes, making some inaudible sounds like chanting spells.

My ears were buzzing from the noises, some of which were so unbearable that they stung my eardrums.

Zuo Nian, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, cast a spell to protect his ears in one second. When he wanted to cast a spell for Hua Ye, Xu Zhi got there first.

His first reaction wasn't to protect himself, but Hua Ye! It seemed that losing to him was also...

Zuo Nian glanced at Xu Zhi in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"What are you still standing there for? Look for someone!"

When Hua Ye saw the sound fade away, he put away his sword and quickly walked over to the black and green cicada pupae, examining them carefully one by one...
