The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 158 Returning to the Cave
After Yuan Mu said this, he turned his head to look at Yang Yang, as if he wanted to see some clues from his expression.

It's just that there was no expression on Yang Yang's face, he saw his hand following Yuan Mu's gaze, and stood there with his head down, motionless.

"For you humans, if the blood runs out and the heart stops beating, you are dead." Yuan Mu watched his movements, was silent for a while, and continued: "Although your souls will return to the underworld in the end, in this life, It's over for you."

"Is there really Po Meng?" Yang Yang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked such a question, and Yuan Mu couldn't react.

"I want to know, is there really Meng Po?" Yang Yang looked up at Yuan Mu, and repeated his question again: "Will she really give us Meng Po soup? After drinking, we will forget What happened in the previous life?"

"There should be." Yuan Mu smiled slightly, and said with some emotion: "Otherwise, it would be too cruel to live with the pain and happiness of life after life."

"Should? Don't you know?" Yang Yang glanced at him in surprise when he heard the words, and asked.

"Back when the three clans fought against all living beings, Pangu's heart felt the pain of the heaven, earth, and common people, so he opened up the underworld to reincarnate the three clans." Yuan Mu pointed to the big tree beside him and said, " Like you, once they die, their souls will return to the Underworld under the Nine Springs, which is the best destination for you human race and these creatures, but not for us."

"The creatures grow up on their own, and some can get a good opportunity to finally become a demon, but most of them can't survive a few years."

"Your human race was created by the Goddess Nvsnail, and you have only a short time in the world. After generation after generation, you have inheritance, and you will have a spirit, so you need a place to repair after death, so that you can start again. But we , we Yaozu are different from Wuzu, we have no afterlife, we have no death, we only have a place to return to."

"We were all born in heaven and earth, unlike you, who were born in our parents. Once we lose our vitality, we will return to the place where we started, between heaven and earth. That is where we came from and where we will return."

"But, he's still dead." Yang Yang looked up at Yuan Mu after hearing what Yuan Mu said, "No matter what it is to you, to us humans, it is death."

"Whether it's good to drink Mengpo soup after crossing the Naihe bridge, or to return to where we came from, we humans are such superficial creatures, we can never see or feel anymore, for us, it is death, the two are the same There is no difference between us." Yang Yang said.

"But Ba Snake is not dead, even if you understand it in the way of your human race, he is not dead, he just... fell asleep." Yuan Mu thought for a long time, and found a suitable word to explain Ba Snake's current state, "Just like a snake hibernates, now he is hibernating and always wakes up, but the time he sleeps this time is a bit long for you humans."

"I see." After listening to his words, Yang Yang thought for a long time before saying these three words, but these words did not make Yuan Mu feel relieved, on the contrary, he became more worried.

"Let's not talk about that for now, let's go back and gather the big troops first, so we can see if Dancing in the Rain can find Meng Xiu." In the end, Yuan Mu decided not to dwell on this matter.

After all, it is always a little troublesome for a young human in his twenties to understand the world view of monsters. Besides, they still have so many things that have not been resolved, and it is not the time to talk about these philosophical issues of life and death.

The most important thing now is to get those who left the team back.

"Well, good." Yang Yang, who didn't really want to discuss this issue, nodded immediately down the donkey, and then asked, "By the way, after Meng Xiu and I left, you won or lost the fight. ?”

"No fight." This answer was beyond Yang Yang's expectation. Just as he was about to ask, Yuan Mu continued: "As soon as you left, the witch descendants asked someone to chase you, and Dance in the Rain went to intercept those pursuers. Zhou Liang went up to fight Wu Yi, intending to hold him back so that he would not interfere with Dancing in the Rain again. But who knew that Wu Yi would not fight us, but kept pestering us not to let us help Dancing in the Rain, 10 minutes Afterwards, he left a sentence to say later, and suddenly disappeared..." Thinking of this incident, Yuan Mu also felt a little strange.

"Let's talk later?" Yang Yang couldn't help complaining when he heard this, "Who wants to have a future with him! I don't want to see him again!"

"I don't know, but he's in a hurry..." Yuan Mu said, his voice lowered, as if he was thinking about something, and then he said to Yang Yang: "Okay, come with me first." With that said, he turned his head and walked towards the direction he had just come from.

"Where are we going?" Looking at his movements, Yang Yang asked.

"Go to the cave where we met Chacha for the first time." As he said that, he transformed back into his original form and turned to look at him, "Did you forget the spirit gathering technique I taught you? Use the spirit gathering technique to follow me."

"Okay!" Seeing him flapping his wings and flying farther and farther, Yang Yang quickly sacrificed the spirit gathering technique, manipulating the spirit to follow.

From the moment he saw Yuan Mu's real body, Yang Yang no longer doubted his identity. Other things can be faked, but the monster's real body cannot be faked.

This point, Yuan Mu once said to himself, this is the respect for the heaven and the earth, as well as the respect for the Great God Pan Gu, and it is the consensus of all creatures in Kyushu.

With Yuan Mu leading the way, their itinerary was very smooth this time, and it took less than 10 minutes to return to the cave where they first came to the mountain.Take him back to the cave before, when the two entered the cave, Wu Zhongwu hadn't come back, only the tea tray was on the jade couch, and Zhou Liang applied medicine to her.

"Yo, you still know how to come back? I thought you were so wild that you didn't even know the way back!" Chacha immediately began to scold Yang Yang when she saw Yang Yang enter the door: "Tell me about you, you are such a big man, you should run away with your life." You can lose yourself, let me tell you what's good about you."

"Whatever you want." Yang Yang looked at Chacha scolding him, and knew that the Chacha in front of him must be true, and he had never been so happy to be scolded.

Chacha was stunned for a while, but Zhou Liang frowned after hearing what he said, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Very good." Yang Yang nodded and replied, looked at him and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm a little hungry."

Hearing his words, Zhou Liang got up immediately and said: "I just boiled water, let me make you some instant noodles, there is nothing left."

"Okay!" Yang Yang replied, "I'm not picky about food."

Just when the two looked at each other because of his words, Yu Zhongwu walked in from outside the cave, saw Yang Yang and Yuan Muta froze for a moment, and then said: "Are you back?"
When we reunited after a long absence, compared to other words, his words were obviously too plain.

But fortunately, his personality has always been like this, and Yang Yang also understands it, so at this time when a trust crisis just happened, his attitude made Yang Yang feel more at ease.

Obviously Yuan Mu also understood this, so he didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Zhongwu and asked, "Have you found anyone?"
"No." Speaking of this, seeing Yuan Mu and Yang Yang'er's relaxed expressions turned ugly again, he shook his head, "The Wu clan has always been proficient in formations, and the formations outside the village have trapped me for a long time." After more than two hours, when I went in, there was nothing."
Yang Yang became anxious immediately after hearing his words, and asked, "Where's Meng Xiu? It's fine if the Wu descendants and people from the Wu clan are gone, but is Meng Xiu gone too?"

"I was also looking for Meng Xiu, so what else is none of my business?" Yu Zhongwu frowned upon hearing this, "Since you said Meng Xiu should be there, if he is not there, he will either leave by himself, or he will be arrested." People took it away."

"Take him away? Who?" Yang Yang was taken aback, and asked, "Who will take him away?"

As soon as Yang Yang's words fell, Yuan Mu looked at the entrance of the cave and said, "Who else can there be? Except for the Wu descendant Wu Dashanshen."

"Hehe...Since you have Bai Ze, why do you still do stupid things?" Following Yuan Mu's words, a man in a black robe appeared in everyone's sight.

Yang Yang looked at him, and it took him a long time before he said, "Witch descendant?"

"Yes, it's me." Hearing the voice, Wu Yi turned his head to look at Yang Yang and said, "I mean, when did a human race become so honest? It turns out that there are backers. It's a pity that I'm not a second-rate mountain God, you must be very disappointed that I was not sealed? You just don’t know, Bai Ze and Ying Long, including Red Snake, do you know?”

"What seal?" Although Yang Yang, who was capped for no reason, didn't understand what he was talking about, he still knew that some blames could not be taken lightly, so he retorted: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't know what I'm talking about? Hmph, it's really a line that has never changed for thousands of years." Hearing this, the witch sneered, "Can't your human race improve a little bit? How many years, it will always be this sentence, you can't get tired of me Tired of hearing it."

"I really don't know what you're talking about!" Yang Yang turned his head to look at Yuan Mu as he spoke, as if asking for help.

"Really?" Before Yuan Mu could speak, Wu Yi sneered and flicked his sleeves, "Then tell me, what is this?"

Following his movement, a white seal fell to the ground with a crisp sound. When everyone turned their heads to look, they heard the sarcasm of the witch again. A fake!"
