Chapter 198
Chapter 198
The three people were wandering aimlessly on the streets of Suhemati at night. They saw many people holding lights coming from one direction. Le Zheng Shuiling went over and pulled one of them to ask.
It turned out that they all mistakenly thought that tonight was a full moon night, so they all took lanterns and went to the pagoda to worship. Later, when they heard that it was not, they came back.
"Are they stupid? So gullible?"
"You have the nerve to scold me?"
Yes, the full moon was created by them in the first place. It’s really embarrassing to make a fool of myself that it made others happy for nothing.
"Let's go check out the tower."
Both of them agreed with Le Zheng Yuhua's suggestion, so they walked in the opposite direction. The crowd was so crowded that they could only hold each other to avoid getting separated.
Le Zheng Shuiling was originally afraid that she would not be able to find the pagoda due to such a clash of crowds, but Le Zheng Qiming pointed it out to her, and she then noticed that the pagoda they were talking about was very large, and it became bigger the closer they got, and there were fewer people around.
The tower is surrounded by a circular pool several meters wide. There seems to be no bridge across it. There are lanterns lowered into the pool and people are fishing for them.
Le Zheng Shuiling looked up at the tower in front of her. It was really huge, towering into the clouds, and it didn't seem to have many floors.
This tower was different from the ones she had seen before. It seemed that there was no bottom floor, and there was just a roof. She ran around and looked at it. No matter which side it was, it was exactly the same.
"Want to fly over and take a look?"
Her words were heard by someone, who came over to remind them.
"Tonight is not a night with a full moon, why don't you leave quickly?"
"Why don't we just take a look?"
The other party began to doubt the identities of the three of them.
"Please show us your nameplates."
"Please wait."
Le Zheng Shuiling thought that the nameplate they wanted was Le Zheng's nameplate, so she obediently showed her own Le Zheng nameplate, and Le Zheng Qiming also took out his.
Le Zheng Yuhua had some doubts, and before they took it, they exchanged glances.
"Take it."
Fortunately, Le Zheng Yuhua reacted quickly, grabbed them and ran away.
"What's going on?"
"Look at the badges on their waists. They're probably proof of their identities."
After Le Zheng Yuhua's reminder, the two looked back and found that they both had a sign hanging around their waists.
Le Zheng Qiming said: "I remember now, I saw those people on the road just now, they also had a sign hanging on them."
"Where do we get this?"
Le Zheng Yuhua quickly thought of the entrance.
"Let's go back first."
"Where are you going back?"
"Entrance."
The two men understood instantly and ran forward desperately, completely unaware that they were going in the wrong direction. Le Zheng Yuhua also did not realize that there were identical buildings and streets on all sides of the place, and her mind was still on the nameplate.
He thought that since they had registered, they should be given the so-called nameplate. Recalling the time when the woman lost two of her three souls after reading his book of life and death, he probably forgot to tell them something.
Thinking of this, Le Zheng Yuhua became curious again, why did she have such a reaction after reading the Book of Life and Death?
At that time, the Book of Life and Death seemed to have its own reaction. Logically speaking, since I am not from this world, the Book of Life and Death should not have such a reaction. But at that time, it seemed to have really reacted. So, what exactly was written on it?
Le Zheng Yuhua was thinking about something and unknowingly got separated from the two of them. When he came to his senses, he had already run to a remote place. There were no candles or people around, and there were no pursuers behind him.
All I saw before me was a very high bamboo wall, and the dark bamboo forest exuded a dangerous atmosphere.
He was about to turn around and leave when he heard a soft call coming from the forest. He looked and seemed to see Sanye's figure.
She was waving her hands and calling out her nickname, Heather, as if calling herself over.
Le Zheng Yuhua walked closer step by step and stretched out his hand. In the darkness, a hand was about to hold hers when a figure pounced over.
Then a shadow ran into the depths of the bamboo forest. Le Zheng Yuhua wanted to chase it, but she was slapped in the face and a childish voice called out "Le Zheng Yuhua". Only then did Le Zheng Yuhua wake up.
He saw a girl of seven or eight years old sitting on him, with her hand raised to slap him, but Le Zheng Yuhua grabbed her hand.
"Awake?"
"Awake? Did I just..."
He looked towards the bamboo forest.
"That's right. You were almost dragged away and eaten by the Soul Devourer just now. Why don't you thank me for saving you?"
"Soul-eating beast?"
"You seem to know nothing. Newcomer? But I haven't seen a newcomer in a long time. Show me the nameplate, so I can see who you are."
"Didn't she call my name just now?"
Le Zheng Yuhua felt a little confused and couldn't tell the difference between illusion and reality. He could only remain silent about the nameplate.
"You wouldn't break in without a nameplate? A high-level soul-devouring beast?"
She pressed Le Zheng Yuhua's chest, stood up and jumped a dozen feet away. Le Zheng Yuhua looked up at her.
Just now, when she said the three words "Soul Devouring Beast", there was a hint of uneasiness in her eyes, but now, it was normal for her to jump away in fear when she mistakenly thought that she was a high-level Soul Devouring Beast.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at him showed no fear or uneasiness, but rather a bit of excitement? The corners of her mouth also seemed to be slightly raised, which made Le Zheng Yuhua suspicious.
He stood up and saluted, saying, "I am Yue Zheng Yuhua, an intern Taoist from the Yue Zheng family of the Taoist Alliance. I am new here, so please give me your guidance."
"Le Zheng Yuhua? Taoist? The newcomer also has a nameplate."
"We're sorry, we forgot to get the nameplate. It's at the entrance. You can go ask for it."
"You guys? Oh, and where are the other two people?"
"How did she know there were two more people?" Le Zheng Yuhua didn't ask directly, so she answered her question: "They got separated."
"You don't have a nameplate. If the Imperial Guards see you, they will definitely arrest you. Since you said that the Entry Office knows you, let's go to the Entry Office to take a look."
"Yuhua has lost her way, and I need to trouble you to lead the way."
She stretched out her hand, and Le Zheng Yuhua could understand her little movements, but he didn't have any money on him, and he didn't think that this place would require money.
He touched it and found the lucky bag given by Mu Xin. A light bulb went off in his subconscious mind and he handed one of the lucky bags to her.
She was stunned at first, grabbed it and then looked at Le Zheng Yuhua, but did not open it. The gesture of grabbing it also clearly showed that she accepted it.
“Is this thing worth money?”
"it's very important to me."
"Really? If it's important, would you be willing to give it to me?"
"I'll redeem it later."
"You don't look like a liar. Okay, I'll lead the way with reluctance. Don't forget, you can exchange it later when you have money."
"Thank you."
She put the sachet away carefully, and Le Zheng Yuhua was watching her the whole time.
She suddenly looked up at him and smiled at him. Le Zheng Yuhua also smiled back at her.
