Chapter 901: Chapter 901: Where Did They Go?
"Goo--"
The Zhewu let out a call, appearing more and more listless.
"I’ll go take a look!"
"Be careful!"
Li Qingmu was worried that Long Yue would suffer.
"Don’t worry, he’s very keen. As long as there’s no malice, he won’t attack anyone."
Xuan Xu explained from the side.
"Okay!"
Long Yue deeply agreed, she moved closer and glanced at the Zhewu.
It half-closed its eyes, with its eye corners glistening with teardrops.
Hmm, what’s going on?
Long Yue was very curious, feeling this Zhewu had a story, so she approached, closed her eyes, attempting to communicate spiritually.
Long Yue’s Soul Power was strong, so she found herself easily entering the Zhewu’s Spiritual World.
Everything was misty white.
She found herself in this hazy white sea of clouds.
This must be the Zhewu’s Spiritual World.
"Whoosh--"
A gust of wind blew, the surrounding white mist rolled, and shortly, a small grove appeared, where a faint village could be seen from the grove.
"Whew whew whew..."
Suddenly, Long Yue heard what sounded like someone crying, with a bit of resentment in the tone, like a bullied child’s cry.
She paused a moment; if she didn’t know this was in the Zhewu’s Spiritual World, she would really doubt if she had mistakenly entered a haunted small village.
She followed the direction of the crying and soon saw a child crouching on the ground, hugging his knees, sobbing there.
The child’s brow had a little bird imprint, coupled with his obedient appearance, making one feel harmless, but this was the Zhewu that could spray someone into dust!
Long Yue actually saw him and hesitated inside, wouldn’t he do something to her?
Luckily, Xuan Xu earlier said, as long as you have no malice towards him, he won’t attack people. Long Yue went up to him, squatted down, kept a level distance, and asked, "Little Zhe Wu, what’s wrong? Is there anything unhappy you want to share, so we can help you?"
"Whew whew, I miss my parents, they left, and no longer wanted Little Zhe Wu, whew whew..."
Uh...
Long Yue paused, according to Xuan Xu, the Zhewu’s parents might have left early, even many Zhewus left one by one, leaving only him in the end.
Thinking about it, this little guy is also pitiful.
"Then, do you know where your parents went?"
"Whew whew, they went, went behind that door, never to return, Little Zhe Wu wanted to go along, but they said I’m still too young, not allowed, so annoying, they are all bad!"
Little Zhe Wu said, wiping his tears with little hands.
Long Yue paused again, behind that door? What does that mean?
She looked up, her spirit connected to the external world, but there was no stone door in the place where Little Zhe Wu lived, so what is he talking about?
Long Yue thought she should talk more with A Mu and Xuan Xu.
"So... do you know where the stone door is?"
Little Zhe Wu eagerly raised his head, nodding his head like pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes, Little Zhe Wu knows, Father and Mother said, when Little Zhe Wu grows up, he can go behind that door to find them. But, Little Zhe Wu cannot grow up."
Uh...
Long Yue was stunned again, asking: "Little Zhe Wu, how old are you this year?"
Little Zhe Wu replied: "Five years old."
Long Yue: "..."
Long Yue felt the little creature was teasing her, how could he be only five years old? Does this mean his parents left not long ago? Then why was there no noise?
However, looking at his sincere expression, it seemed he wasn’t lying?
"When did your parents leave?"
"More than four years ago, back then I was only one, Father and Mother said, I was too young, going there would mean death, so they let me stay here, waiting for the next chance to leave. Whew, whew, whew, but the next opportunity might take forever, whew whew whew..."
Little Zhe Wu continued wiping tears and complaining.
Long Yue was awkward, this... four years ago...
Suddenly, Long Yue thought of something, more than four years ago, wasn’t that when the Kaiyang area spewed out a magma disaster?
Could it be, that the spewing of magma caused changes in the underground tomb structure, thus opening a mysterious place, allowing the Zhewu’s parents and others to leave?
If Long Yue’s guess was correct, then where did these Zhewus go behind the stone door?
For some reason, Long Yue felt a bit creepy, as if a possibly horrifying thing was slowly surfacing.
"Opportunity... What opportunity are you talking about? Can you tell me? Maybe there’s a way?"
"Fire, fire, when it’s spewing fire, that door opens, but, whew whew whew, who knows when the fire will spew, whew whew whew, it might be years, decades, centuries... Waa--"
The little guy started bawling, pitifully.
Long Yue reached out, gently soothing his head: "It’s okay, don’t cry, there is a chance, that stone door will open again, you can find your parents."
"Whew, whew, but I’m still young..."
Little Zhe Wu looked up again, gazing sadly at Long Yue.
Looking at this pitiful little thing, especially since his age was close to her child, Long Yue felt compassion, she lightly patted the little guy: "Don’t worry, you’ll grow up, when you do, the stone door will open."
"Really... really?"
The little one raised his head, eyes sparkling as he looked at Long Yue, and the pure gaze made Long Yue feel guilty; she was just trying to console him, not truly knowing!
Moreover, they didn’t know what happened last time the fire spewed...
Oh, wait, there seems to be a control center at that place, can it control the flames?
It seems to truly understand this underground cemetery, finding the main control center is necessary.
"Yes, I think so, everything needs timing, when the time comes, it will naturally happen, like now, see, we have fate, don’t we? Otherwise, why would I meet you here? Why wouldn’t I go open other stone chambers, but choose yours?"
"Hmm--"
The little one was too innocent, after all, he was only a five-year-old child, easily convinced by Long Yue’s few words.
Heaven knows, Long Yue wasn’t intentionally deceiving him!
The little one looked up, came beside Long Yue: "I want to grow up, can you help me?"
"Uh... maybe? You come with us, see the outside world, then, when you grow up, return to open that stone door? How does that sound?"
"Hmm, I don’t know how to open the stone door, but... it’s so dark here, going out to see is good, whew whew, I miss my parents..."
Uh...
Long Yue felt slightly embarrassed, hastily retreated from his Spiritual World.
She worried if she stayed longer, she would expose herself.
Opened her eyes, looked up, facing Little Zhe Wu’s confused gaze.
"Come here."
She reached out, beckoned him over.
