There was a dead silence under the cliff, and countless Yin soldiers riding bone horses remained motionless as if they were immobilized by magic.

Shen Ci thought that he was bound to die, but the moment he fell to the bottom of the cliff, he felt as if something was pressing against his spine.

Then, he fell into the arms of the man.

"Who are you?"

Shen Ci's voice was hoarse, and tears flowed down from his eyes unconsciously.He was crying for no reason, feeling a little overwhelmed in his heart.The man's pupils trembled, and the hand on Shen Ci's waist trembled uncontrollably.

The man clenched his teeth, as if he was holding back something.Shen Ci wiped away his tears, looked up and looked around, and then looked down at the chain held by the man's other hand.

"Sir, were you the one who dragged me off the cliff?" Shen Ci tugged at the chain wrapped around his neck, and there was no panic in his eyes.The man didn't have a heartbeat, and there was a gloomy ghostly aura in the armor.

"I was in Mansion No. [-] just now, how did I return to Baihua Mountain in the blink of an eye? Sir, did you bring me here?"

Shen Ci asked more than a dozen questions one after another, but the man didn't answer.Shen Ci's body was restrained by the man and he couldn't move. He simply put his head on the back of the bone horse, and then pulled the chain around his neck with both hands.

Then a strange scene appeared, the valley was haunted by ghosts, the column of Yin soldiers was fixed in place by the spell, and the leader of the ghost general was hugging a human with a chain around his neck, without saying a word for a long time.

"Sir, your arms are shaking, are you sick?" Shen Ci asked heartlessly, until the jade pendant hidden on his chest felt warm, and he looked down at the snake pattern jade pendant.

"Mr. Jun?"

The man recovered from the shock, then grabbed the chain, pulled Shen Ci into his arms, then lowered his head and sniffed at Shen Ci's neck.

"Why is there immortal energy flowing in your body?"

Shen Ci frowned slightly, he didn't like the sudden approach of men.So he held the oil-paper umbrella tightly, knocked the umbrella handle on the armor on the man's chest and said:

"Can you let me down first? I don't like the smell on your body." Shen Ci always speaks directly, if you don't like it, you don't like it, there are not so many reasons.His brain didn't have those twists and turns, and he didn't think about what would happen if he angered a man.

"Ah."

The man snorted coldly, and slapped Shen Ci off the horse with his palm.Under the mask of green face and fangs, there was a trace of reluctance in the man's eyes.

He regretted it.

He shouldn't hurt him half a point.

But Shen Ci's next actions were beyond the man's expectation.Shen Ci patted his butt and stood up, then picked up the oil-paper umbrella that fell on the ground, and walked towards the direction of the gate of hell.

The chain slid forward with his movements until it fell out of the man's hand, and the man got off his horse and tightly grasped the slipped chain.

"Where are you going?" the man asked.

"Go to Mansion No. [-], my friend is still there, I have to find him now." Shen Ci stopped, looked sideways at the man and said.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" The man frowned.

"Don't be afraid, because if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't hug me when I fell off the cliff." Shen Ci tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned and continued to walk forward.

The man gripped the chain tightly and pulled hard, Shen Ci staggered a few steps before standing still.

"Sir, have we met before?" As soon as Shen Ci's voice fell, the man was slightly startled, as if he was worried about gain and loss, and said in surprise:

"You remember?"

Shen Ci shook his head, then pointed to the ghost mask on the man's face and said:

"My memory is very confused. The reason why I ask you this is because I think you look at me very familiarly. Although I don't know why you are wearing a ghost mask, I don't know why you want to pull me into the cliff. If you want to catch up on the past, you can continue it another day. I have to go back to Mansion No. [-] now, can you untie the chain around my neck?"

Shen Ci thought that the man would not untie the chain on his neck, but the moment he finished speaking, the chain on his neck turned into a wisp of black air and drifted away with the wind.

"Thank you."

Shen Ci bowed deeply in the direction of the man, then turned around and continued walking forward.

The man thought that Shen Ci would continue to ask questions endlessly, and he even thought that Shen Ci would ask about his identity.However, when he saw Shen Ci leaving without looking back, he realized that he had never understood Shen Ci's inner thoughts.

"Wait." The man said.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ci turned around.

"Going further is the gate of hell. If you enter the gate of hell, your soul will be drawn away into the underworld." The man's voice was cold, with no emotion.

Shen Ci tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:

"Are you the errand who came to catch me back to the underworld?"

Mr. Jun told him that the ghosts of the underworld wanted to arrest him more than once and return him to the underworld for punishment.When he was about to turn ten years old, the underworld servants came to arrest him once.Then on his 20th birthday, the underworld servants came to arrest him again.

In those two arrests, Mr. Jun was the one who blocked the catastrophe for him, but this time it seemed that he had to face it himself.

The man had a gloomy face and did not speak. Shen Ci recalled the memory of being in Iron Tree Hell, and murmured:

"Have I made a serious mistake before?"

"Yes." The man said.

"What mistake did I make, do I have to continue to accept the punishment even after being reincarnated?" Shen Ci looked calm, standing at the junction of the yang world and the underworld, looking so out of place.

"You tampered with the fates of tens of thousands of mortals and disrupted the balance of the Three Realms. This is an unforgivable crime." The man's eyes darkened, and he replied word by word.

"So you took me back so that I would continue to accept the criminal law in the underworld?" Shen Ci still had a calm face, as if life and death had nothing to do with him.

The man stared at Shen Ci's eyes, and kept shouting in his heart that it was such eyes again.

Is it hard to admit mistakes?

I would rather suffer all the punishments in hell until my mind and soul die than admit my mistake.

He obviously has a bright future and merits that even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is afraid of, but he has been tortured for a group of weak human beings.

does it worth?

"The ten-year gambling period has not yet expired, I will not arrest you and return to the underworld."

"The game?" Shen Ci looked confused, unable to understand what the man's game meant.

"You shouldn't go to Mansion No. [-], let alone walk into hell." The man said coldly.

"I went to Mansion No. [-] to save people. I didn't know that there was a ghost gate in front of me. I just wanted to find an exit from here. Sir, you haven't told me why you brought me to Baihua Mountain?" Shen Ci said.

"This is not Baihua Mountain." The man frowned tightly, as if feeling an unusual aura.So with a wave of his hand, he lifted the spell on the Yin soldier.The Yin soldiers moved their fingers, and then looked at the sky in unison.

"Here is yin deficiency."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a gap was forcibly cut open in the valley that was supposed to be covered by ghostly aura, and a fairy holding a long snake-like sword descended from the sky and landed steadily in front of Shen Ci.

"Mr. Jun!" Shen Ci didn't expect Jun Yao to find him so quickly.

"Farewell, don't be afraid."

Jun Yao raised his hand to comfort Shen Ci, then protected him behind his back, looked coldly at the man wearing the mask and said:

"The ten-year gambling period has not yet expired. I don't know why the ghost will arrest this deity's partner in advance."

"Ling-qing-xian-zun."
