Chapter 356
On the way to find Le Zhenghe, Mo Yu had been carefully taking care of Le Zheng Shuiling's emotions and basically followed her silently.
Mo Yu could roughly guess that the result might not be good, but he really had no way of asking. It was not until they climbed a high mountain and stood in front of a bottomless abyss that Mo Yu realized that this was the place where Le Zhenghe was forced to jump.
Mo Yu stood at the edge of the abyss, his eyes solemn. He felt the deep chill from the abyss, as if it could swallow everything. He turned to look at Le Zheng Shui Ling. Her face was pale, and her eyes were flashing with indescribable emotions.
"Here..." Le Zheng Shuiling's voice trembled, and she seemed unable to fully pronounce the name.
Mo Yu gently held her hand, trying to give her some comfort, "Yes, this is where your father used to..." He didn't say anything else, because he knew that the rest was too heavy for Le Zheng Shui Ling.
Mo Yu stood quietly in front of the abyss, listening to the sound of wind blowing through the abyss, and there seemed to be the sound of water flowing underneath.
Le Zheng Shuiling looked at the protruding rock where Le Zhenghe last stood. It was now covered with moss and had aged.
She sat down on the edge, stroking the rock, as if she could still feel the remaining warmth he had left behind, with tears in her eyes.
Mo Yu could feel Le Zheng Shuiling's inner struggle and pain, and he knew that she needed time to accept this cruel fact.
After a while, Le Zheng Shui Ling took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. She turned and looked at Mo Yu, with a determined light in her eyes, "I want to go down."
"Go down?" Mo Yu was startled and glanced at the abyss. He could only say that this was not a difficult task, but he just felt that it was not necessary.
"I want to go find my father." Le Zheng Shuiling's voice was firm and resolute.
It's easy to say that he wants to see the person alive or the body dead, but Mo Yu knows that Le Zhenghe was already a mortal at that time, so he must have died. Even if he was not eaten by wild beasts, there would probably be no trace of his body left.
Mo Yu looked at her, knowing that he couldn't stop her, so he could only do his best to protect her. He nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
Le Zheng Shui Ling didn't say anything, but just hugged him tightly.
When Le Zheng Shui Ling was ready, Mo Yu swung out his folding fan, and the fan became bigger, like a flying boat.
Mo Yu helped her sit carefully on the folding fan, and then the folding fan slowly descended into the abyss, and the darkness in the abyss gradually swallowed their figures.
The sound of their breathing seemed to cover up the sound of the wind and the gurgling water in the abyss, becoming the only melody.
As they went deeper, the chill in the abyss became stronger. Mo Yu noticed that Le Zheng Shui Ling's face became paler, but she still looked forward firmly.
"Are you okay?" Mo Yu asked softly, trying to break the silence with her voice.
Le Zheng Shui Ling nodded slightly without saying anything. She held Mo Yu's hand tightly, as if this could comfort her. Mo Yu knew that her heart must be filled with fear and anxiety at the moment, but he also knew that she would not give up looking for her father.
As time went by, they finally saw the scene at the bottom of the abyss. A river ran through the cliffs on both sides and rushed forward.
Le Zheng Shuiling had already become more desperate when she heard the sound of water just now. Now seeing this scene, tears came out of her eyes, and she had completely given up.
"Since you can use soul-hunting magic to find this place, maybe it's under the water?"
Le Zheng Shuiling knew what he meant. As the saying goes, "clear water is shallow, green water is deep, black water is deep, blue water is wide, and yellow water is fast." There are dark and bottomless abysses here, as well as turbid and yellow fast waters. Even if Mo Yu is the Demon Lord, Le Zheng Shuiling has no way to make him search the entire area.
The person is dead, so why let the living take risks again? Le Zheng Shuiling shook her head.
"It's good that we can't find him. At least the soul-chasing technique has responded. Maybe he is living a carefree life somewhere."
Mo Yu knew that she didn't want to take risks, so she used this to comfort herself.
After all, Mo Yu has been dealing with the underworld for so many years, and he understands some things. The soul-chasing technique has responded, which may mean that Le Zhenghe's soul is trapped somewhere here. If they spend energy and time, they may be able to summon the soul here.
However, summoning the soul meant that Le Zhenghe's death was inevitable, and Le Zheng Shuiling was obviously still struggling.
On the one hand, she could only deceive herself and hold on to a glimmer of fantasy that Le Zhenghe was still alive, but on the other hand, she was unwilling to let Le Zhenghe's soul be trapped here, unable to reincarnate.
Mo Yu knew that she also had a concern, which was the catastrophe that Le Zheng was about to face. If she kept wasting her time here, and if the Immortal Realm took action and she failed to defend Jimen Pass, she would definitely not be able to forgive herself then.
Mo Yu came over and hugged her, letting her snuggle in his arms.
"Come back next time, I'll accompany you until you find it."
Le Zheng Shuiling finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore and nodded in agreement with his suggestion.
Just when they decided to go back, a gust of wind blew over, rushing towards them, shaking their folding fans, and they couldn't help but lean against the cliff.
At this time, Le Zheng Shuiling smelled a foul odor and found that he seemed to have rubbed against some flowers or plants on the cliff.
Le Zheng Shuiling covered her nose with a look of disgust, looking at its fresh and refined flowers, which were so beautiful, and didn't understand why it smelled so bad.
Mo Yu also noticed her abnormality and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
Le Zheng Shui Ling pointed to the flowers and plants that were a little way up the cliff and replied, "The smell of these flowers and plants is very strange. I have never smelled anything like it before."
Hearing this, Mo Yu sniffed carefully and indeed smelled an unpleasant odor from her. He frowned, knowing that he had just rubbed against her.
Thinking that on such a sad day like today, this kind of flower and plant is still disgusting, Mo Yu raised his hand and destroyed it.
Just when he was about to protect Le Zheng Shui Ling and go back, a hurricane hit. Mo Yu put his arms around Le Zheng Shui Ling's waist and hugged her, using his folding fan in his right hand to block the "hurricane".
Before Le Zheng Shuiling could react, several stones flew towards him like meteors and were all blocked by his folding fan.
"what happened?"
"Someone!"
Mo Yu had already put the folding fan in his hand. When Le Zheng Shui Ling turned her head to look over, a huge black shadow pounced towards them.
Mo Yu waved his folding fan, creating a strong wind that forced the opponent back. Le Zheng Shuiling looked closely and saw a big bird with a big monkey-like beast riding on its back.
"What is that? A monster?"
"No, it's probably just an ordinary wild beast."
"General?" Le Zheng Shui Ling thought, this other party is not an ordinary beast, which is understandable. After all, he is the Demon Lord, and huge monsters can be seen everywhere in the Demon Realm. "Why attack us?"
"Maybe we have invaded their territory."
Le Zheng Shuiling knew clearly what might happen if one invaded the territory of a ferocious beast, and suddenly thought of her father.
She wondered if he had become food. After thinking this, Le Zheng Shuiling looked at the monkey, which seemed to exude the breath of his father.
