Zhou Yixing was convinced that Bai Xiaochun was not only trying to scare them, and was therefore greatly shaken. However, no matter how he looked, he could not see anything along the riverbank.
Wu Dao's expression flickered, and after a moment of hesitation and further examination, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Grandmaster Bai, um... there really isn't anyone there."
Stunned, Bai Xiaochun looked at Zhou Yixing for confirmation, who only smiled and nodded. Heart pounding, Bai Xiaochun looked back. The black-robed old man was still sitting there like before. At this point, Bai Xiaochun realized that there was something familiar to him, even though he could not really know what it was.
"Am I the only one who can see it?" she said, her face turned pale and her scalp tingling. However, it was at this point that Bai Hao's nervous voice was transmitted into his mind.
"Master, I .. I can see it too …. There was an old man there, fishing…. ”
After a while, Wu Dao left, still somewhat suspicious about everything. He even brought some subordinates to the banks of the Underworld River to scout around, but no one found anything.
As for Bai Xiaochun, he could clearly see an old man sitting next to where Wu Dao was now standing by the river, however, Wu Dao seemed to be unable to see the old man at all.
Feeling extremely nervous, Bai Xiaochun watched the old man the entire night. He just sat there, fishing until dawn came, then he disappeared along with the Underworld River.
The next day, Bai Xiaochun was completely agitated, and even glued himself with some paper talismans that were in his bag to hold. However, that doesn't make him feel much better.
When Bai Hao saw how nervous his Master was, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, why don't we go tonight to take a closer look? It seems he called me …. ”
"You really have the guts to take a closer look?" Bai Xiaochun said nervously. “More fun, listen to me! That guy's not a soul, he's a ghost! The soul is not so scary. After all, I have used many souls in my necromancy. No, it's a ghost !! Don't let him hypnotize you! In fact, given that old ghost appeared, we have to get out of here. This place is dangerous.
"More happy, back when your Master was in the Fallen Sword Gorge, I saw a female ghost …. Even the thought of it caused a chill to rise to my spine. ”
Every time Bai Xiaochun thought about it, he realized that one of the main reasons he was so afraid of ghosts was because the little girl returned to the Falling Sword Gorge.
Then he thought about how the girl had Gongsun Wan’er, and then did all the strange things in the labyrinth, and his heart trembled in fear even more than before.
Bai Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But I'm also a ghost!"
"You're different. That's .. old ghost! Such old ghosts that have existed for so many years have always been extremely ruthless! " Even as he spoke, he struck a few more paper talismans onto himself.
Bai Hao blinked a few times, but did not say anything more to try to convince Bai Xiaochun. And thus the day passed in relative agony to Bai Xiaochun. Finally, midnight came again .. and rumbling sounds filled the sky. The sky rippled, and the Underworld River began to flow through the riverbed. And then ... once again, Bai Xiaochun saw the black-robed old man sitting by the river.
"That's it again !!" he nodded, his face falling. Turning around, he called Zhou Yixing, completely convinced that this evil place was haunted and that they should not stay there. “I'm a worldly necromancer! Any ghost that dares to appear before me must be extremely powerful …. ”
With that, he immediately sent Zhou Yixing and Song Que to work packing bags to prepare to leave. However, moments later, she realizes that their little party is missing someone.
"Where is Hao’er !?" he said without thinking. Turning around, and his eyes widened, he noticed that Bai Hao was drifting down into the Underworld River, seemingly in a trance!
He was almost halfway to the bank, and was only a few hundred meters away from the black-robed old man.
"It's ridiculous oppression, you old ghost !!" Bai Xiaochun growled furiously. Although he was afraid, his anger over the fact that this old ghost hypnotized his disciple caused him to start shaking physically. Screaming, he began to speed towards the Underworld River.
As he moved, he struck his bag which he was holding, producing numerous paper talismans, which he smashed all over his body.
Even though he moved quickly, he was shocked because he could not teleport. Even so, he was like a beam of light that shot towards Bai Hao, who was now only about 300 meters away from the old man. After approaching, he reached out his hand and grabbed it.
Bai Hao shivered as he came to his senses. Then his face fell. As for Bai Xiaochun, he was relieved to see Bai Hao regain his senses, however, only a moment later did his terror soar when he realized that the old man was paying attention to him. Oh so slowly, the man started to turn around. At this moment, Bai Xiaochun felt a sensation of terror that was even impossible to comprehend. Gripping Bai Hao tightly, he shouted and prepared to flee.
However, that was when the old man's face was visible, and although his expression was cold and sinister, as soon as Bai Xiaochun saw his face, his screams died, and his screams died, and he stood there with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Great-grandfather Gravity Manager ..." he said without thinking.
This old man was none other than the mysterious black-robed figure who had saved him back in the days of his Spirit Stream Sect! During the battle in that nameless mountain range, he had been severely injured by the chosen people of the Luochen Clan, and then met this black-robed old man!
This old man not only saved his life, he gave him a part of the Death Codex!
Bai Xiaochun could never have imagined that after so many years had passed, he would meet this benefactor here on the banks of the Underworld River!
Instantly, his fear disappeared, and was replaced with joy. Meanwhile, the gravekeeper looked at Bai Xiaochun coldly for a moment, then looked back at the river and started fishing again.
"Sir, you .. Do you know him?" Bai Hao had been struck with fear just by looking at this old man; if not for his master, he might have fallen right into the Underworld River due to the confusion he had entered.
“Of course I know him! This is a philanthropist I have told you many times! ” Bai Xiaochun's eyes are already shining. He could tell that this gravekeeper was an extraordinary individual; after all he was able to pull Bai Xiaochun back from the brink of death.
Regardless of how his own cultivation base had risen far beyond the level in that year, even now he was unable to ascertain the level of the gravekeeper.
It was talkative, considering Bai Xiaochun had met the gods before. However, the feeling he got from the gravekeeper .. was that he was beyond the level of a demigod.
“More powerful than demi-god …. Heaven! What level of cultivation base does the great-grandfather have? ” Out of infatuation, he rushed to the side of the gravekeeper.
“Gravity Manager Great-grandfather,” said, “this is me, Bai Xiaochun! Um.... I'm wearing a mask, so you can't see my real face. Sir, do you remember what happened in those mountains …? ”
It seemed like the gravekeeper hadn't even heard of it; he just went fishing.
Bai Xiaochun was nervous, but also knew that he had to take advantage of this rare opportunity. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Um... Grandfather Gravekeeper, can you help me here? Send me back to Heavenspan River? What did it say …? ”
However, the gravekeeper did not seem to be listening. No matter what Bai Xiaochun said, he did not respond at all. Bai Xiaochun continued to speak until his mouth dried up and dawn approached. However, the entire time, the gravekeeper never even looked at him. Finally, he disappeared along with the Underworld River.
"What are we doing now, sir ?!" Bai Hao said. He had been standing there the entire time while his Master had spoken countless words.
Bai Xiaochun sighed and waved his hand indifferently.
"Teacher will teach you a lesson today, my disciple. It's called if you set your mind to it, you can smash rocks and tear metal! ”
For the next half a month, Bai Hao fully understood exactly how his master focused. Every night in the middle of the night, Bai Xiaochun would go find the gravekeeper and go through the same round of pleas as he had the first night.
Zhou Yixing and Wu Dao were completely shocked by what had happened. Of course, all they could see was Bai Xiaochun acting like a madman, standing by the river talking to himself. And since they couldn't hear what he said, it made the whole scene even stranger.
On one occasion, a rainbow of the underworld appeared near Bai Xiaochun, and when Wu Dao and the others went to harvest it, the rainbow came to harvest it, they could see up close what he was like when he muttered to himself. It was really shocking, and they left as quickly as possible.
