When Luo Fengtang awakened Taizu's bloodline and used force to break open the stone door, in the secret room at the other end of the stone door, Yang Ruoqing's soul, who was in retreat to spread medicine, seemed to have left her body and drifted to a strange place.

In this place, it is impossible to tell whether it is day or night, because there is both the sun and the moon in the sky.

The sun is not red, but white.

The moon is red.

The white sun and red moon hang side by side in the sky, making this place gloomy and gray, day and night. Things similar to ashes are flying in the sky anytime and anywhere. The leaves and grass on the roadside have faded from their bright green.

It was also bleak.

It's as if someone is singing, the singing is ethereal and distant, intermittent, intermittently, and the sad melody floats into the ears, which makes people feel depressed and lonely, making them want to cry.

Yang Ruoqing walked barefoot in this unfamiliar place, feeling in a trance and feeling like she was dreaming.

A river appeared in front of him, the water was roaring and the wind was blowing.

She wandered by the river.

Although she didn't know where she was going next, there seemed to be a voice in the dark guiding her to cross the river and go to the city on the opposite side. It seemed that that was where she should belong...

A raft floated over from the other end of the river. Looking at the back of the boatman, she looked like an old lady.

Yang Ruoqing continued to wander, standing by the river and staring at her reflection in the river, her mind still groggy. Although the voice had been guiding her to the other side of the river, there was another layer of obstruction in her heart.

It gave her some resistance, as if something was holding her back. As long as she crossed the river, she would never be able to come back, and she would never be able to see those things again...

As the raft came closer, the old lady rowing the boat turned around.

The old lady turned around slowly. She was wearing black clothes, with a bun on the back of her head and a long ivory hairpin.

The old lady's face was obviously not covered with a veil, but her irrelevant appearance could not be seen clearly, it was like a mosaic.

She looked at Yang Ruoqing kindly and asked her with a smile: "Daughter, why are you here? Did you go the wrong way?"

Yang Ruoqing has been looking at the long ivory hairpin on the old lady's head. She feels familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere but can't remember it.

Her whole reaction was a little sluggish, her eyes slowly moved to the old lady, and she said nonchalantly: "I don't know how I got here. Where is this?"

The old lady said with a smile: "You don't even know where this place is, and you just ran here. What a silly girl!"

She spoke like a silly girl and her tone was so friendly that Yang Ruoqing smiled sheepishly.

She pointed to the city on the other side of the river and asked the old lady: "Old man, I want to go to that city. Can you take me there?"

"Then do you have money? If you have money, I will take you there." The old lady said.

"I have money!"

Yang Ruoqing said, how come I have no money? I vaguely remember that I seem to be a very rich person.

She touched all over her body, but couldn't find a single copper plate.

Only a gold ring was found on the ring finger of the right hand.

"You can give me your gold ring," the old lady said.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head decisively and blurted out: "That won't work, this is my life!"

my life?

She was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't remember the origin of the ring.

My mind was empty, as if I had lost a lot of things, and I was just acting based on an instinctive feeling.

"Haha, the ring is your life, but what about the person who gave you the ring?"

When the old lady asked this question, something seemed to be cracking in Yang Ruoqing's empty head, and many things were vying to squeeze out from the gap...

"And," the old lady on the raft said again, as if she was a chatterbox, "you can't go to that city over there right now."

"Why can't you go?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

The old lady said: "You can't cross this river."

"Why can't you get through?"

"The end of this river is the city. There is a big vicious dog guarding the gate of that city. The vicious dog has three heads. It is always fierce and vicious. It likes to eat thin skin and tender meat like yours.

A woman."

Yang Ruoqing felt chills all over her body.

Standing frozen by the river, not knowing where to go.

"But even if I can't go to the city, I don't know where I should go?" Yang Ruoqing said to herself.

"Old man, can you tell me where I come from and where I am going?"

The old lady just smiled and put her hands in front of her. Yang Ruoqing could feel that there was a kind face behind the mosaic, and that the other person had no ill intentions towards her.

"It's difficult for you to go back yourself. It depends on whether anyone is willing to come and pick you up."

"Ah? Pick me up? Who will pick me up?"

"Haha, the secret must not be revealed."

Yang Ruoqing felt that the old lady's words were too profound, so she kept half of it and left half of it.

"Old man, your clothes look wide and wide, but why do I think you are very thin?" Yang Ruoqing looked at the old lady's body, and the more she looked at her, the more she felt that there was only a skeleton left in her clothes.

The old lady touched her empty sleeves and smiled again: "I was hungry for a long time before, and all this meat was lost at that time. Once it is lost, it cannot be grown back.

"

For some reason, Yang Ruoqing's eyes immediately turned red when she heard this.

She wanted to cry, but found that no matter how sad she was, she couldn't squeeze out a tear. Her eyes seemed to have lost some function.

"Silly girl, don't cry. It's been so long and you still have this heart. I'm content with you, old lady!" the old lady said again.

Yang Ruoqing raised her head and looked at the old woman on the raft. She took a few steps forward and her feet were almost touching the river water.

"Old man, what can I do for you?"

"By the way, you just said you wanted this gold ring. Here, I'll give you the gold ring. You can use it to exchange for some money to buy some delicious tonic!"

As expected, Yang Ruoqing took off her gold ring and handed it over to the raft.

The old lady seemed to sigh with relief: "With your words, it's better than anything else."

"I don't want your things. That person is coming to pick you up soon. You should go back quickly!"

"Old man, don't leave..."

"Go back, go back!"

When the sound came, the old woman who was chatting and laughing before suddenly appeared in the middle of the river with the raft at her feet.

When I looked again, the raft had disappeared at the end of the river and was condensed into a small black dot.

Yang Ruoqing stared blankly in the direction of the raft, letting the cold and biting river water lap at her insteps.

When she was confused, a strong wind suddenly blew between the sky and the earth, and she faintly heard the sound of tigers roaring and dragons roaring above her head.

The sound deafened her.

After the ground beneath her feet trembled violently, the river in front of her suddenly set off a huge wave several feet high. A burning arm broke through the huge wave and reached out of the water to grab her.
