After I was reborn, I heard that my apprentices had a crush on me for many years

In fact, when he saw Mu Chi coming over, Ye Yu had already guessed that the other party had something to ask for his help.

After all, these five apprentices usually don't see anyone for several years or even decades, and if they come back once in a while, it's more or less something.

Therefore, there was no big reaction on the face, he just nodded, and then said: "What do you want me to do for you? You just say it. If you can do it, there is absolutely no way I will not agree, Master."

"I know that, it's just that it's not easy to say."

Mu Chi touched his nose, thought about his words, and said, "Master, do you still remember the fake Taoist priest we met when I saw you last time?"

Ye Yu blinked.

The city he went to when he was looking for defense materials, although it has been a few years ago, it is still quite strange, so it is not easy to forget.

Thinking in his heart, he also said "hmm": "You ask me this, because this kind of thing happened again?"

"It should be said that it never stopped."

Mu Chi nodded, and he said: "Although it hasn't been broken, every time he looks for it is almost all unknown mortals from all walks of life. Although the underworld is investigating, they can't find any useful clues, so it's been a long time. , basically no longer care.”

Ye Yu frowned.

This is a little more serious than he imagined.

only……

"In that case, then you came to find me..."

"It's because this matter has spread to the underworld, and the souls in the dead city are constantly disappearing." Mu Chi said: "The person in charge of our side has been investigating, and we can find out that it is the troubles in the human world." What happened, but who it is and what method is used, but I have no idea at all. Master, I am a little confused about what to do this time. Although Master, you may not be able to help me, but apart from you, I don't know who to turn to for help."

Ye Yu felt helpless.

In fact, as Mu Chi said, he knew the seriousness of the problem, but if he wanted to help, he really didn't know how to help.

But now that the apprentice has already spoken, as the master, he thought about it for a while, and then he replied: "Then, no matter whether it can help you or not, I will go and see with you. Is that okay?"

Mu Chi was waiting for this answer.

So after Ye Yu finished speaking, he immediately raised his smiling face, nodded and said, "Then thank you, Master!"

This matter seems to be quite serious now, so in the spirit of not delaying as soon as possible, several people discussed it and decided to leave as soon as possible.

Anyway, with the ghost king Muchi leading the way, it would not be difficult for them to go to the ghost world.It's just that in terms of the number of people in the past, Ye Yu never expected that his little apprentice would insist on going together.

"You are practicing magic and Taoism. There is too much yin in the ghost world, which may affect you."

Over there, Mu Chi went to draw the teleportation formation, and over there, Ye Yu pulled Qin He, and persuaded the grown-up apprentice earnestly, in a persuasive tone: "Isn't it good to just stay here with Third Senior Brother? Otherwise, if there is any danger in the past, Master is worried that I will panic and I won't be able to protect you."

He felt that what he said made sense.

At least when Qin He first joined the division, he could persuade children not to be persistent with this reason in about [-]% to [-]% of the cases.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that now that the child is older and his cultivation level has improved, he is not as easy to coax as he was when he was a child.Even facing Ye Yu's remarks, he shook his head without hesitation and said, "Master doesn't need to worry about this. My current cultivation level is beyond the reach of ordinary people, so even if I encounter some problems, I will It can be handled, and I don’t need Master to protect me.”

Ye Yu frowned: "You kid, why..."

"Master."

Before Ye Yu could finish his lesson, Qin He spoke again.

This time his voice was a little lowered, coupled with his already low-pitched voice as an adult, it made the two words even more oppressive.

Ye Yu's heart tightened when he heard this.

When he looked up at the pair of black and thorough eyes of the child who was already half a head taller than him, a flash of fear also emerged from the bottom of his heart.

Qin He's eyes were very dark.

In the darkness, there is some incomprehensible profundity.

However, Ye Yu looked too much at this kind of gaze, so the first time they met, he subconsciously took a wrong step back, pulled the corner of his mouth, and taught seriously: "Don't listen to your fifth senior brother's nonsense, he just feels that he You are too far away, just jealous that I am too close to your elder brother. In fact..."

"Actually, you already liked Eldest Senior Brother the most, didn't you?"

Qin He interrupted his speech again, and the gloomy look in his eyes deepened a little.

Taking a deep breath, he said: "Master, I have been by your side for so many years. I am no longer the kid who only knew how to hide behind you and pull the hem of your clothes. Why can't you understand? "

Ye Yu swallowed.

Why didn't he understand.

Especially after hearing Tiandao say that Qin He is also a split body of his soul, he became more and more aware of what the little apprentice looked at him when he first fell in love.

but……

Ye Yu was a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, and said honestly: "But I have always treated you like a child."

"I know that." Qin He did not expect it at all.

Faced with his explanation, he just nodded calmly, and continued: "So now the opportunity has come, do you still remember the person who couldn't remember his face? I dreamed about him again when I was sleeping the other day , He said that if there is a chance to go to the ghost world, I must follow you. I just listened to the fifth brother and thought about it seriously, and I think it is really worth going to see it. After all, if you don’t give me a If you protect your chance, you may have to treat me as a child who can't grow up for the rest of your life."

After the words fell, Ye Yu didn't have a chance to refute, so he turned around and went to help Mu Chi's team set up together.

As for Ye Yu, whom he was talking about and didn't know whether he should be angry or laughing, after being silent for a while, he picked a question that he himself thought was the most inappropriate, and shouted at Qin He. Said: "Wen Tian, ​​the person you mentioned, do you remember what he looks like?"

"Didn't I tell Master a long time ago that I can't remember..."

Qin He listened to the voice and responded casually.

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Ye Yu knew that the other party's answer must be different from the one a few years ago.

Sure enough, after being silent for a moment in shock, Qin He turned his head, blinked, pointed at himself, and said without joking at all: "He looks a lot like me. I can't remember exactly, but Eyebrows and mouth seem to be similar."

He said that he was also surprised.He also asked back: "Master, what's going on?"

Ye Yu spread his hands: "I really want to know."

With the effort of these few words between the two, Mu Chi, who was setting up the formation over there, was almost ready.

Turning around at this time, he happened to be listening to the conversation between the two of them. He blinked and asked in a puzzled voice, "Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Ye Yu shook his head, "It's just a very strange person."

After the words fell, Mu Chi was no longer given a chance to ask questions.He walked forward a few steps into the magic circle, closed his eyes, and injected the magic energy into the circle by himself.

This is what it means to start sending.

Mu Chi hurriedly stepped back into the circle.

And Qin He, who was still a few steps away from the two of them, also rushed into the formation at this time.

Immediately, the light flashed, and the three of them disappeared directly into the formation.

Still the same as before, Wu Nian was still watching quietly outside.It wasn't until the light used for transmission on the magic circle completely dissipated that he pursed his lips, turned and left the place.

While the master was not around, he felt that he should investigate why the person who obviously couldn't remember his face was suddenly remembered.

And he always has an inexplicable premonition——

The result of the investigation, I'm afraid it won't make his master happy.

……

Let go of Wu Nian who acted on his own over there, let's talk about the two people who went to the ghost world with Mu Chi first.

Because Tiandao said to let Qin He follow, although Ye Yu still felt a little unsafe, but based on his trust in the Taoist companion, he did not stop the little apprentice from chasing him.

It's just that this thought, the moment he stepped into the ghost world, turned into regret irresistibly.Even if possible, Ye Yu would like to directly set up a magic circle and send his little apprentice back to the Valley of the Medicine King.

The reason is also very simple.

The moment the teleportation was successful, a kind of cold that almost froze people from the depths of their souls surged from all directions.Accompanied by the extremely unpleasant and sharp ghost crying that seemed to be able to directly penetrate the eardrum, even if the target was Ye Yu, he couldn't help but frowned fiercely, rubbed his ears and pulled up the protection, only to be relieved a little.

He was trained in that secret realm back then.

Therefore, Qin He, who had not received training, felt a little weak in his feet before taking three breaths.His body shook twice, but it was Ye Yu who gave him a hand to barely stop him from falling down.

Seeing this situation, Mu Chi, who was used to it over there, suddenly realized.

Quickly set up a barrier around his little junior brother, and took two tokens from the Qiankun bag and handed them to the two of them respectively, then pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, scratched his head and said: "Master and junior brother, I'm sorry, I'm here I got used to it, and I really forgot that you can’t bear this kind of energy anymore.”

"It's nothing serious, and Bai Lan doesn't need to be nervous."

As Ye Yu said, he reached out and took the token.

I don't know the reason, after getting this thing, he found that the cold atmosphere around him became more than half warm in an instant, and even those ugly cries were barely audible.

Somewhat unexpectedly, he looked up at Mu Chi.

The latter also took the initiative to explain: "This thing is the token of the ghost messenger, because many new recruits can't bear the yin energy, so there are also some resistance skills on it, which should be quite useful for you. "

Ye Yu nodded: "It's quite useful."

Qin He, who was finally relieved, also nodded, and thanked his fifth senior brother in a low voice.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, Mu Chi pointed to the front and took the initiative to lead the way out.But Ye Yu and the two looked around behind him, only to realize that they were walking on a path paved with bluestone slabs.

There is nothing on both sides of the road, neither flowers nor trees, not even gravel.

Looking forward again, there seemed to be a huge tower standing there amidst the smog not far away.

There was a plaque hanging on the vermilion city gate. Although Ye Yu couldn't see clearly, just guessing based on the situation of his five apprentices, it was enough to know that the legendary City of Undeserved Death should be behind this tower.

Sure enough, after walking forward for a while, he could look up at the three characters on the plaque.Seeing this, Mu Chi, who was silent for a while, also gave him a little explanation: "Because things are a little urgent, so I don't have time to take you to other places. I don't know yet when I left. Whatever the situation, I hope nothing goes wrong."

He said, and after a while, the three of them finally arrived at the door.

At this time, the gate was closed tightly, but the return of the city lord, it is naturally impossible to prevent entry.

With a "bang" sound, the door opened towards the inside.But before the three of them went in, they poked their heads out first.

A red-clothed woman who looked about 25 or [-] at most stood at the door, her eyes swept over Ye Yu and Qin He, she blinked, and smiled at Mu Chi, "This is the helper you said you were looking for?"

Mu Chi glanced at him, then reached out his hand to signal Ye Yu.He said, "Isn't it enough for a late Mahayana near-consummation?"

"But after all, he has never died. It's really hard to say whether he can understand things about the ghost world."

The woman walked towards Ye Yu with a smile.After a few steps to the front, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "It seems that I guessed wrong, senior, your soul is really interesting."

Hearing what she said, Mu Chi, who had already taken the lead into the city ahead, turned around fiercely.He glared at the woman fiercely, and called out threateningly, "Hongling!"

The woman trembled when he yelled at her.

Then he curled his lips and snorted: "If you don't mention it, why are you in a hurry."

Mu Chi didn't answer, just frowned again, and stepped into the city without looking back.

At this time, Ye Yu, who was confused and puzzled, was full of doubts, and stopped the woman before she turned around, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what do you mean by the interesting soul?"

"It's you who came back from the dead." Hong Ling smiled.

Seeing Mu Chi in front of her pause again, she waved her hand quickly, said "Don't ask me any more", then quickened her pace, and rushed back to the city with Mu Chi.

Ye Yu was actually a little dazed.

But if what the woman said was just a simple matter of rebirth, then there was nothing for him to worry about.

To put it bluntly, this is actually Ye Yu's first time in the ghost world.And it was a little different from the Naihe Bridge on Yinyang Road he had imagined. This city of vain death looked like a slum for human beings. From the moment he entered the gate, the howling ghost cries never stopped from his ears.As far as the eyes can see, apart from the dilapidated low bungalows, there are also old, weak, sick and disabled ghosts, even dragging their mutilated bodies, leaning against the wall and waiting for the arrival of the end.

Perhaps because the atmosphere was too hopeless, Ye Yu didn't like the scene in front of him very much.

Fortunately, on the way to the city, the woman named Hong Ling never stopped talking, and told the three of them about the situation in the city.

And in the middle of the conversation, seeing that Mu Chi didn't intend to introduce her at all, the girl took advantage of the opportunity to introduce herself to Ye Yu and Qin He.

The names of these two people have already been called by Mu Chi, and as for their identities, they are not much different from what they guessed——

She is the deputy city lord of the dead city.

"That's why I can rest assured that the boss is back. If you don't know about Shangxian, you will be in vain for the current situation in the city. I'm really worried that the city will be empty when he returns to the human world for a few hours."

Hongling babbled non-stop along the way, and when it came to the end, she didn't forget to make an exaggerated summary.

Sure enough, when the words fell, Mu Chi glared at him and said, "Don't make me look like a small village. Even if hundreds of souls disappear a day, our number is enough for several months."

Ye Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "Then you can't just hold on like this?"

Mu Chi nodded, and said seriously: "So I invited you, Master?"

Regarding the logic of his five apprentices, Ye Yu no longer knew whether he should praise him or what to do.

Fortunately, the other party just said this casually, and then cut to the point, asking Hong Ling to take them to the newly disappeared soul residence.

Just like what Mu Chi said, this City of Death is really too big.

Walking from the low and dilapidated one-story rooms on the periphery to the center, it didn't take long to see some decent two-story buildings.

According to Hongling's introduction, it's because the old, weak, sick, and disabled ghosts living in the periphery are all ghosts, while those who are capable are concentrated in the center of the city.And the stronger it is, the more central it stands.

"Actually, it's quite strange. I originally thought that this kind of loss of souls would happen from the periphery, but I didn't expect that from the first one until now, every lost soul is a resident of the central area." Hong Ling was talking to the two of them, with puzzlement written all over her face.

Ye Yu listened from behind, but instantly understood: "Because the residents on the edge are not strong enough, it doesn't make sense to absorb them. Those in the central area are already very strong, and they can definitely bless people's cultivation base. "

"But this shows that the person who absorbed them is very powerful." Mu Chi touched his chin: "Master, I remember that you had some understanding of this situation when we met last time. Idea?"

"Naturally there is."

Ye Yu nodded: "You can guess who did it, but I don't know how far he is now."

The expected answer.

Mu Chi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In the time of talking, the few people also walked to the place they wanted to take Ye Yu to.It is in front of a small two-story building.

Standing still, Hong Ling pointed to the ground.He took the initiative to speak, and explained to the remaining three people: "I inquired around, and said that the one that disappeared was missing here. At that time, there were people watching, saying that his expression seemed to be in pain, and his body seemed to be covered by something. The thing sucked into the ground, anyway, in the blink of an eye, people disappeared."

Hearing what she said, Ye Yu reached out and touched the ground she was pointing at twice.It's not unexpected. After searching for a long time, I really can't feel anything.

Pursing his lips lightly twice, he raised his eyes to look at Mu Chi.Then he asked again: "Up to now, how many souls have disappeared in total?"

"It can't be counted."

Without Mu Chi's response, Hong Ling on the side had already opened her mouth and shook her head, she said: "There are tens of thousands of souls in the city of vain death, and no matter whether they came or disappeared, except for those who were famous in life In addition, very few people know about it. We don’t know how to count the population, and we can’t do it at all. As far as the city is watching, it’s just controlling the situation in the city and preventing these people from going out.”

To put it bluntly, this city is more like a prison.

And in the prison, the roles played by the city lord and the deputy city lord are just the gatekeepers.

Ye Yu mentally translated these few sentences Hong Ling said to himself, and immediately felt even more headache.

Originally, I thought about finding out what these ghosts who disappeared had in common, and then looked up the frequency of disappearance and the number of people. Maybe I could guess some useful information.

But looking at it now, there is no need to think about the latter at all, and there is only one thing left after thinking about the former, "They are all pretty strong".This kind of information that sounds useless, even if you think about it, it won't be of much help.

At this moment, Ye Yu somewhat understood why his five apprentices were helpless.

But if it goes on like this, it won't be a problem after all.

Ye Yu frowned and thought for a while, finally sighed, and said, "Well, I'm not very familiar with the situation and distribution in this city, so it's not too much of a problem to follow you all the way to the scene to investigate one by one. It’s very useful. So I’m looking around at the results, and you guys are also looking for something wrong in the central area. When the time comes, whoever has news will contact each other, and we’ll meet up again to meet the enemy, is that okay?”

Mu Chi had already lost his mind. Hearing what he said, he also nodded and said, "Just follow Master's arrangement."

After this distribution, Mu Chi and Hong Ling chose their respective directions and walked out.

But Ye Yu stood in place with Qin He.

After a moment of silence, the former raised his head and asked, "Where do you think we should go?"

Qin He didn't answer directly.

He had stayed by Ye Yu's side for a long time in the past few years, and he probably knew what kind of temperament he was.

Especially when it comes to finding directions, Ye Yu has always relied on his sixth sense.

Therefore, at this stage, Master must not be disappointed.

Thinking about it, Qin He closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were also facing the front.

With a grin, he confirmed, "East."
