391: Chapter 391 [Yet I Use It to Seek the Light] First Update!
The first update!
“Right, Ouyang Qingcheng and the others!”
Since he had already obtained the Reincarnation Mirror, he was in no rush; getting out was the top priority.
Ye Chenfeng thought of Ouyang Qingcheng and the others, his comrades who had always fought alongside him.
Ye Chenfeng swam over and found that the explosion hadn’t reached them, but rather, the poison from the piranha’s teeth had begun to spread, draining all color from the women’s faces.
He injected them with a few needles to temporarily suppress the poison and prevent it from spreading further.
Ye Chenfeng pulled the two women along as he swam; he could feel that the source of the water flow was not far away.
Inside the Zen Temple.
“Sister, brother has been away for a whole day and night.
Could something have happened to him?” Chu Qingfei said anxiously.
Chu Qingxue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her face filled with worry, “I’m also very worried!”
“Why don’t we go find him together?” Chu Qingfei suggested.
Chu Qingxue countered with a question, “Where should we go to find him?”
“To…” Chu Qingfei was suddenly at a loss for words, having no idea where Ye Chenfeng had gone.
A deep look appeared in Chu Qingxue’s eyes as she spoke calmly, “Maybe we can find someone!”
“Who?” Chu Qingfei asked, puzzled.
“The old monk we met in the cave on the back mountain that day!” Chu Qingxue said, “He always knew something!”
Chu Qingfei thought for a moment and then nodded, “There was definitely something fishy that day, both brother and he were hiding something!”
Soon after, the sisters Chu Qingxue arrived at the back mountain trail.
“Two benefactresses, this humble monk has been waiting for you for a long time, please come in!” Suddenly, a voice came from the cave.
“Huh?”
Chu Qingxue and Chu Qingfei were both stunned.
Did the old monk know they were coming?
Curious, the two stepped into the cave and saw the old monk not far away, sitting on a stone bed with his hands folded in front of him, meditating in a dignified pose.
“Perhaps the two benefactresses want to know the whereabouts of Master Ye?” the old monk asked straightforwardly.
Chu Qingxue nodded, “Yes, please tell us about my husband’s whereabouts!”
Chu Qingfei cast a somewhat strange look at Chu Qingxue, seemingly surprised that she called Ye Chenfeng her husband.
The old monk smiled warmly, which actually looked even more terrifying.
“Perhaps Master Ye does not want you two to know his secret, but today, this humble monk must say sorry to Master Ye,” the old monk seemed a bit embarrassed.
Hearing this, the sisters Chu Qingxue were even more confused, not understanding what the old monk was muttering to himself.
“Two benefactresses, let me tell you the truth.
Master Ye’s mysterious departure was for a woman!”
A statement shocking enough to stun, once the old monk spoke these words, Chu Qingxue and her sister were thrown into turmoil.
Ye Chenfeng mysteriously left for a woman?
Immediately, the two wondered who this woman could be.
“Master, is this woman our acquaintance Ouyang Qingcheng?” Chu Qingfei asked, believing the old monk to be aware of everyone around them, so she directly mentioned Ouyang Qingcheng’s name.
The old monk shook his head, smiling without saying a word.
“Who could it be?”
Chu Qingxue and Chu Qingfei exchanged glances.
“This answer requires exploration from you, I too am eager to know who holds Ye Chenfeng’s heart.
Now, let me point you in one direction!
If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to meet Ye Chenfeng and others soon!” The old monk flaunted his wide sleeves and a sheepskin map landed in front of the Qingxue sisters.
“Thank you, master!” said Chu Qingxue and Chu Qingfei as they picked up the sheepskin map and hurriedly departed.
After the Qingxue sisters left, out of nowhere, a person appeared in the cave.
“Old baldy, didn’t expect your interest in gossip to be so intense.
Aren’t monks supposed to be detached from all roots of desire?
Yet, your fire of gossip burns fiercely!” the person mocked without any reservation.
The newcomer was a small old man with a stooped posture and a sleazy face, but when he opened his mouth, he revealed two rows of shiny white teeth.
If Ye Chenfeng had been there, he definitely would have recognized who this old man was — none other than the old man who sold adult discs on rainy days and had also given him the Ancient Tomb Key and Evil Blade Dragon Fang.
“Amitabha!” said the old monk.
“I’m afraid that only you could escape from the Ancient Tomb unharmed, having found your own way out!
Now that the two female benefactors are following the marked map, they will surely be able to enter and exit the Ancient Tomb safely.”
“Tch, old monk, saying ‘only I can’?
There are plenty far more capable than me!” the little old man replied discontentedly.
“I really wonder what Ye Chenfeng’s identity is, bringing even you here!” the old monk expressed, his tone filled with surprise.
The small old man’s eyes gleamed as he glanced at the old monk: “See, I told you that your love of gossip is strong.
Go eat vegetarian with Buddha a few more years!”
…
Meanwhile, Ye Chenfeng and the other two had been swimming underwater for a long time and finally came to a stop as a wall of rock blocked their path.
Strangely, it seemed as if something existed here, with no creatures in sight; whether the watery environment was unsuitable for life, or the creatures of the water dared not venture here, was unknown.
Submerged too deep under the dark, murky waters, they could see nothing.
Running low on oxygen, Ye Chenfeng gradually felt weaker as he silently assessed the direction of the water flow.
“Boom!”
A thunderous noise suddenly reverberated, stirring the waters, and a vortex appeared overhead, creating a massive suction force.
Ye Chenfeng reached out to grab Ouyang Qingcheng and Bai Jie, but the powerful force swept the women away, vanishing in an instant.
Struggling against the force only briefly, Ye Chenfeng soon felt overwhelmed, and his body was also swept away by the immense suction.
Under the immense force, even Ye Chenfeng gradually lost consciousness.
“Whew!”
Ye Chenfeng had a long dream, where he couldn’t grab the girl’s hand in his dream, and with a jolt, he suddenly woke up.
All around him was pitch black; he could not see anything, as if one could not see one’s own hand in front of their face.
Ye Chenfeng could feel that he was soaked in a pool within a cave, a strong scent of blood wafting to his nose, casting an ominous tone over his spirits.
Flailing his hands in the water a few times, Ye Chenfeng felt a chilling sensation.
For he had grabbed a clump of hair, and beneath it was something heavy.
It felt like gripping a corpse, and now that Ye Chenfeng held the hair, he had no idea what creature it belonged to; grabbing with his right hand also resulted in a handful of hair.
Even for Ye Chenfeng, the sensation was unnerving, “Damn, where am I right now, filled with corpses in the water.”
Fumbling on himself a few times, Ye Chenfeng eventually fished out a lighter, thankfully Li Yang had prepared plenty.
It made him recall a phrase: “The night gave me black eyes, but I use them to seek out the light.”
“Flick!”
Without hesitation, Ye Chenfeng struck the lighter.
