Wang Chen, who came back to his senses, suddenly felt something was wrong again.
What's wrong is the time.
He spent a long time in the wormhole space brushing white skeletons, and consumed a lot of the spiritual power stored in Heavenly Net to Punish Evil, which was estimated to be at least more than an hour.
However, returning to the passage of Demon Cave, Wang Chen felt like only a few breaths had passed.
This feeling is extremely subtle and not entirely clear.
But Wang Chen can be sure that it is not his illusion!
Monks usually have accurate judgments about time, and they will not make mistakes even when they are underground without seeing the light of day.
The source of this judgment is one's own heartbeat, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more accurate it will be.
Wang Chen suspects that there is a huge difference between the speed of time passing in the wormhole space and Demon Cave.
It's just that this is not the time to study this now, and he doesn't want to reveal the secret that he has been to the wormhole, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Wang Chen continued his mission today quietly.
After successfully completing the routine inspection work, Wang Chen rushed to the restaurant and arrived at the dining hall.
"Senior Lu!"
What surprised Wang Chen was that he actually saw Lu Yanyi in the dining hall!
Lu Yanyi is the old jailer who took him before.
In Demon Cave, Lu Yanyi is the real senior among the jailers.
Like Wang Chen, many new jailers have followed him and received the words and deeds of this veteran.
Some people live to the day they get rid of Demon Cave!
Because of his high reputation, the jailers respectfully called him "Master Lu".
Although there are essential differences between master and master, the former is also an honorific title and is truly recognized by everyone.
I saw Lu Yanyi sitting at a dining table, surrounded by people, and everyone was interested and asking questions.
Earlier, some people said that Lu Yanyi was missing, and some people speculated that he accidentally fell into a wormhole. Anyway, the same misfortune occurred.
Now that Master Lu has returned safely, many people are happy for him.
Includes Wang Chen.
Hearing Wang Chen's voice, Lu Yanyi turned around and smiled at him.
At this time, Wang Chen discovered that Master Lu's hair was all white, and there were a few deep wrinkles on his face, making him look dozens of years older than before.
You must know that monk Purple Mansion has a lifespan of over a hundred, and he can maintain his vitality without losing his cultivation. Unless Dao foundation is injured, there will be no sudden aging.
But Wang Chen looked at Lu Yanyi, and it didn't look like he was seriously injured.
But no matter what, just live.
Since there were many people around Lu Yanyi, Wang Chen did not go over to join in the fun. He got a meal and found an empty seat nearby to sit down. While eating, he listened to the conversation between the old jailer and others.
Lu Yanyi did not deny the fact that he had been "missing" for several days.
But he didn't explain where he went or whether he strayed into a wormhole as others suspected.
The old jailer just thanked everyone for their concern, and then avoided talking about the topics that everyone was interested in.
As a result, the people surrounding him quickly dispersed.
Lu Yanyi didn't pay attention, and suddenly stood up and sat down opposite Wang Chen.
"Little Wang, do you still have wine?"
Wang Chen nodded and took out a jar of spiritual wine from Sumeru Ring: "Senior Lu, lucky people have their own destiny, just be fine."
Lu Yanyi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He took the wine jar, slapped open the mud seal at the mouth of the jar, then drank like a beast, and drank up the bottom of the jar in the blink of an eye.
"Happy!"
The old jailer placed the empty altar heavily on the table, touched the wine stained on his white beard, took a long breath and said, "Little Wang, I'm leaving, this time I really want to leave."
Wang Chen was stunned. "Are you leaving Demon Cave?"
"Yes."
Lu Yanyi showed no excitement at all, as if this was not his dream. "Yes, I have to leave this damn Demon Cave."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations then."
Lu Yanyi chuckled, with a strong sense of self-deprecation and sarcasm in his laughter.
He didn't explain anything, just said, "Of all the new juniors, I am most optimistic that you can escape from this sea of suffering, but I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again, so you should work hard."
With that said, Lu Yanyi took out a wooden sign from his sleeve and put it in front of Wang Chen: "I can't drink the wine in vain, and I don't have many spiritual stones left. I'll give this Protection Talisman to you as a souvenir."
Wang Chen didn't refuse and took it with both hands.
This is a piece of mahogany Protection Talisman, which is extremely finely made. Judging from Wang Chen's eyes, which have studied the "True Interpretation of the Shangqing Spirit Talisman Illustration", no flaws can be found.
The material of Protection Talisman itself is very good. It looks like an old object that has been used for more than a thousand years. The surface has been covered with thick patina. It is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
"Thank you, senior."
Lu Yanyi waved his hand, sighed and said, "Remember to carry it with you at all times. It can save lives at critical moments."
He asked Wang Chen for a jar of spiritual wine.
This time I didn't open it to drink directly, but put it in the storage bag.
In return, Lu Yanyi told Wang Chen about his many years of experience as a jailer in detail.
For example, I told Wang Chen which of the monsters in the prisons were the most difficult to deal with, which ones could communicate and which ones couldn't speak, which ones were ferocious and dangerous, and which ones were the work of strong men.
And Lu Yanyi told Wang Chen through sound transmission!
"Go and have a rest, go and have a rest!"
Lu Yanyi, who had had a long conversation with Wang Chen, seemed satisfied. He wiped the wine from his beard, then carried the sundries with his left hand and the empty wine jar with his right hand, and staggered out of the dining hall.
Wang Chen Watching the figure of this old man disappear into the passage outside, I felt a sense of loss.
He is alone again!
When he woke up early the next morning, the first thing Wang Chen did was to hang the peach wood Protection Talisman around his waist.
Even if you don't have any courage, you can still comfort yourself.
After Lu Yanyi left, Wang Chen's life was not affected in any way.
He gets up every morning, patrols the prison area along the established route, checks the magic circle nodes, and delivers fixed meals to a group of monsters and monsters on time, gradually integrating into the life of most jailors.
The wormhole never appeared again, as if it was just a dream Wang Chen had with other jailers.
But the arrival of a new batch of jailers told Wang Chen that the frequent appearance of wormholes some time ago has secretly had a considerable impact, and will continue to do so!
On this day, Wang Chen once again came to the place where the wormhole was previously discovered.
His heart suddenly palpitated, as if something important was about to happen!
The next moment, Wang Chen disappeared on the spot.
here we go again?
Wang Chen, who had experience, did not panic at all. He kept his head calm and clear-headed until the transmission was completed.
