Chapter 142 The Light of Grace

Li Hu's consciousness had left at some point. Although he could no longer see the other party, Xu Nian's intuition told him that the other party was watching him in the dark, staring at him.

The pain in his knee had completely disappeared at this moment. In order not to repeat the same mistake, he dared not be arrogant anymore. He put the rattle into a state of release, and at the same time, he used his spiritual power to condense a set of black and gold armor on his body.

He felt much safer.

After thinking about it, he gently pushed open the iron door, and the prison that made him collapse infinitely in his memory appeared in his sight again.

The dark room had no windows, only a lonely cross and a corroded and rusty iron chain.

The memories of the past surged like a tide.

The cold eyes of his father-in-law, his painful wailing when he was locked on the cross. Everything seemed to be re-enacted.

He trembled all over, and his whole face had turned pale as paper without knowing when, and beads of sweat as big as beans dripped to the ground.

It's okay!

Xu Nian, you're okay!

It's over!

It's all over!

Xu Nian talked to himself, slowly raised his head and looked at the cross in front of him, and his rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

As if he had just done 500 push-ups, he felt that most of his strength had disappeared the moment he calmed down.

PDST.

He was very sure that he would not have this symptom again, but he did not expect that after returning here, his body was still out of control.

"No wonder others say that childhood scars need a lifetime to heal."

Xu Nian's eyes were complicated. He rested for a while against the closed iron door, and walked to the cross with heavy steps.

It was this cross, on which flowed his sweat and blood. Even after so long, he could still smell a faint smell of blood just by sniffing with his nose.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to rotate the cross as Wang Yuying said.

The cross moved immediately.

He was shocked, knowing that Wang Yuying did not lie to him, so he gritted his teeth and did as the other party said, first rotating three times in the forward and reverse directions, and then rotating three times in the reverse direction.

After doing all this, he took three steps back and watched quietly.

There was a sound of mechanical gears rolling and rubbing in an unknown place in the cell, and then the cross in front of him began to sink slowly into the ground, and soon, a dark underground passage was revealed.

"This is..."

Xu Nian looked at this scene in shock, and he never thought that there was a different world right under his feet.

He just didn't know whether this underground passage was built by his father-in-law or had existed for a long time.

After thinking about it, he had a thought, and the soul-guiding lamp lit up, and he walked carefully towards the underground passage under the bright flame.

The passage was very long, which Xu Nian could feel.

Although he was not walking fast, he was still at the walking speed of a normal person, but at this speed, after walking for about three minutes, he still didn't reach the end.

What surprised him even more was that he was going down the steps all the way.

In other words, this was a passage leading deep underground.

As he walked further down, the darkness became thicker. Although the flame of the soul-guiding lamp was already very bright, the scope of the light became smaller and smaller in the extreme darkness, as if there was a terrifying beast hidden in the darkness, devouring the light released by the flame of the soul-guiding lamp.

Xu Nian walked down more carefully.

The temperature around him began to drop significantly, so that he had to use the spiritual power in his body to isolate his body from the outside world.

In this way, time passed slowly.

There were only his faint breathing and footsteps in the dark passage.

The scope of the flame was so small that it could only cover himself, and he could hardly see the steps under his feet.

Because he was worried that he would suddenly step on the air or there would be a trap, he had to stare at his feet and walk down more carefully.

Until the steps under his feet suddenly disappeared, replaced by darkness, he stopped and breathed quickly.

"Damn, I can't see it!"

Xu Nian looked at the soul-guiding lamp on his waist, and then looked at himself shrouded in darkness. He gritted his teeth, stretched out a foot and bent down to explore.

There was no feeling of touching any entity.

His heart skipped a beat, knowing that he had indeed reached the end.

He then touched the front, back, left and right directions. Except for the front and back, which were empty, the left and right sides were all cold bluestone.

In other words, he had indeed reached the end.

What should he do?

Xu Nian's face looked a little ugly, and he stretched out his hand forward. Under the cover of the flame, he could only see half of his arm, and the other half was shrouded in darkness.

"Fuck!"

Xu Nian couldn't help but want to curse.

At this moment, the light around him suddenly lit up, and a strange voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"That. Old Xu. Uh no, master."

"Who!?"

Xu Nian was startled and turned his head hurriedly, only to see Wu Qunyou standing on the steps behind him with a small sun on his head.

The light around him was shining from the small sun on the top of his head.

"Ahem, master, it's me, Wu Qunyou."

Wu Qunyou seemed to be very unaccustomed to the word "master" and touched his head a little unnaturally.

Xu Nian reacted immediately, looked at the sun on the other's head strangely, and then smiled: "Although you are my Ash Spirit now, you don't have to call me master. Well, call me boss from now on."

"Okay!"

Wu Qunyou was overjoyed and immediately ran to Xu Nian's side. The sun on his head dispelled the darkness around him. Xu Nian also saw everything in front of him clearly, and cold sweats flowed down.

He was indeed standing at the end of the stairs, but there was no broken road in front of him, but a very wide black hole with no bottom visible.

From time to time, a terrifying whistle came from the black hole, which was long and distant, and you could feel the depth of the black hole at a glance.

"Boss, my fighting skills are now very advanced. After knowing your current situation, I immediately came out to help you."

Xu Nian was stunned, glanced at the little sun on his head, and said strangely: "The one on your head?"

"Yeah." Wu Qunyou thought Xu Nian was looking down on him, and hurriedly said: "Boss, don't underestimate my gift of light. According to the Lord of the Soul Lamp, if my spirit did not have the heart of faith, it would be impossible to refine this fighting skill."

"Well, then what else is it used for besides lighting?"

Xu Nian thought that he still relied on the "light bulb" on the other person's head to open his vision, so he didn't say much.

Wu Qunyou immediately said with a proud face: "That's very useful. According to the Lord of the Soul Lamp, because I have the heart of faith, my gift of light can drive away all darkness and filth. In simple terms, it is to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits."

Xu Nian nodded in surprise, which is somewhat similar to his sacred enchantment.
