Chapter 48: The Boy of Bygone Days

  Tiao Tiao nodded its head, then jumped onto the stone wall, indicating that it would lead the way. Mo Zi Chen followed, using his hands and feet to climb up. Although the stone wall was extremely steep, almost vertical, there were many depressions on the four walls, as if they had been violently struck by something, leaving behind a series of pits. After cultivating his energy, Mo Zi Chen's body became light and agile, making it easy for him to climb up.

  Tiao Tiao jumped back and forth on Mo Zi Chen's head, sometimes jumping to this side and sometimes to that side. Originally a very short distance in a straight line, it insisted on going around two or three bends. Mo Zi Chen was so annoyed that he said: "Hey, can't you just walk normally? Why do you have to go around in circles when you can go straight?"

  Tiao Tiao poked its mouth forward, then covered its heart with a paw and made an expression of leaning backward. Mo Zi Chen suddenly understood what it meant and exclaimed: "You're saying that there's danger over there?"

  Tutu nodded and patted his chest vigorously, indicating that Mo Zi Chen must follow closely behind him.

  It was pitch black here, and although Mo Zi Chen's cultivation had improved and her eyesight had increased greatly, she could only vaguely see the outline. It wasn't until she concentrated that she discovered there were faint grooves on the wall, like patterns etched into it. In this way, it seemed to have a few similarities with the spell array she had seen before.

  This suddenly lifted her heart, reminding herself that she was still in an ancient tomb, where danger lurked everywhere and she couldn't afford to be careless.

  She carefully followed Tiao Tiao, making big circles on this rocky wall. After about an hour or so, she was panting with exhaustion. Due to the darkening sky and the winding path here, which was like a huge maze, even she herself didn't know where she had walked to.

  It was leading the way, as if it knew the road very well, and finally stopped in its tracks, lying on a protruding rock, knocking forward several times with force.

  This rock protrudes from the wall and nearby is another one just like it, perfectly symmetrical.

  Mo Zi Chen leaned back, let out a long sigh, and the light around her seemed to brighten up a bit. She casually glanced around, and suddenly jumped down, her hair almost standing on end.

  This massive stone wall was no longer the place where she had stood before, and in this period of time, it was unknown how far away she had been taken by the strange creature. The concave holes on the stone wall, as well as the grooves, were like lines and dots that formed a huge picture on the stone wall. It was a ferocious ghost face with a fierce expression, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws, as if it would fly out of the stone wall to devour people. The stone wall that Mo Zi Chen leaned against was the two protruding fangs, one on the left and one on the right, with its huge mouth open, just like it really wanted to eat people.

  Mo Zi Chen boldly reached out to touch the carved marks on the stone wall, some of which seemed to have been eroded by the wind, and it was unknown how many years they had been there, definitely not newly appeared.

  She stroked Toto's head and said, "Hey, you little guy, didn't you lead me into a dead end?"

  Doudou was something she had picked up from that nameless valley, it didn't have the slightest bit of spiritual energy, its appearance wasn't unusual in any way, and even Ji Youfeng couldn't see anything special about it. Apart from not knowing what species it was, it was completely just a cute little thing. But Mo Zichen now found herself unable to see through it, being able to move freely in this dangerous ancient tomb, and bringing itself to this place, clearly wasn't something an ordinary little furball could do.

  Tiao Tiao stared at Mo Zi Chen with big eyes, looking a bit wronged. It knocked hard on the stone wall in front of it and stretched out its paws again.

  Mo Zi Chen's eyebrows moved slightly as she heard the "empty" sound coming from behind the stone wall, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Is there another mystery behind this?"

  The stone wall was surprisingly thin. She put her ear against it and could even faintly hear the sound of voices. At this moment, Mo Zi Chen subconsciously held his breath, "Isn't there still someone living in this ancient tomb, or is it a burial site for some long-buried great demon?"

  It seems that there are two men talking inside, both voices carrying a hint of childishness, likely to be under twenty years old. One person's voice seems particularly arrogant, saying: "Why do you have to be so stubborn? We're all from the same place, we should take care of each other. Now with this opportunity in front of you, it's up to you to decide whether to live or die."

  Another young man replied, "I have my own principles for being a human being. There are some things that I would rather die than do. At first, I thought he was a decent person, but after seeing the things he did and following suit, it's a matter of losing one's conscience. How were we taught by our elders back then?"

  Although the stone wall was very thin, it still had some sound insulation. Mo Zi Chen could vaguely hear them say something, but the voice wasn't particularly clear. Although he faintly felt that the accents of these two people were somewhat familiar, for a moment he couldn't think of where he had heard them before.

  At this time, the young man from before burst out laughing: "I had thought that after going through all these things, you would become more mature, but unexpectedly you're still as childish as before. No wonder you lost to me again. In this world, people like you who are stubborn and obstinate will definitely end up as losers. Elders? What those old men taught us is nothing but to follow the rules, don't stir up trouble, and maintain peace for a lifetime. But what's the result? Staying at home with doors closed, disaster comes from above! Peach Blossom Village was slaughtered overnight, does anyone care? Where is justice in this world? In this world, only the strong are respected! A hero doesn't ask about origins, if you can slaughter 90 million people, then you're a true hero!"

  Mo Zi Chen heard this and suddenly her mind went "buzz", she remembered who these two people were.

  They actually haven't died yet!

  This is Lu Peng and Ren Gengxin of Peach Village. Mo Zichen's emotions were somewhat agitated, she had always felt that she owed something to the people of Peach Village, if it weren't for her, those three thousand forbidden troops wouldn't have been brought there, ultimately leading to the village being slaughtered.

  Although she had decided to put down all worldly affairs when crossing the Luofu Ridge, this matter has always been a thorn in her heart. Although the enemy of Tucheng had long since disappeared, but she could not forgive herself.

  At this time, she saw the old people in the village, her heart was a little excited and a little frightened, but she didn't know why these two people were arguing, who that person they mentioned was, or if it was the evil Taoist she had fought against.
