Chapter 21 The Pond
"Big nephew, what do you mean? If you go to find the old man, we ginseng will go to Wu Mian." Xiao Renguan looked at Bai Wuqiu and asked to leave, and ignored Zhu Yunwen with a pale face. It walked towards the disappearing position of Wu Mian and said as he walked: "If you want to leave, everyone will go together. It's not okay to bully us ginseng. Don't be afraid, there are no evil ghosts in broad daylight to scare you. We will be back in a while..."
Zhu Yunwen didn't expect that in the end he was left alone here. He didn't dare to follow two monsters in. He shouted to Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan: "Two immortal masters, you can't leave me here... Go back, didn't Wu let us wait here?"
No matter how he shouted, he could not see two monsters turning back. After watching Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan disappear, Zhu Yunwen stayed alone. At this time, the sunlight shining above his head felt gloomy. After hesitating for a moment, the crown prince turned around and ran to the outside of the house behind him.
Zhu Yunwen had just run out for about ten steps when he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "Didn't I ask you to stay here and wait for me to come back? Why are you the only one left?"
After hearing this voice, the crown prince breathed a sigh of relief.
When he turned around, he saw the white-haired man standing where he was just now, frowned and looking at him. Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly at Wu Mian and said, "The two immortals are anxious. Seeing that you and the immortals of Gui have not come back, I went to find you. Why? Didn't you see the immortals of Ren San when you came back?"
"Ren San is going to find me..." Wu Mian sighed with some confusion, and then continued to say to Zhu Yunwen: "I came back by using the escape method. It is not the same path as me. You wait for me here and I will bring it back. Don't move around. If you can't see you when you come back, I will not spend any more time looking for you."
Zhu Yunwen dared not stay here. He then came to Wu Mian's side a few steps and said to the white-haired man: "You should spare Yunwen... Either you are troubled and send me out. Or you will take Yunwen to find Ren Sanxian Chief. You have already explored this path and there should be no more danger."
Maybe it was because he felt that it was not safe to leave Zhu Yunwen here. After pondering slightly, Wu Mian nodded and said, "Then follow me immediately. Although the formation inside has almost been removed, be careful that there are fish that escape the net..."
While speaking, Wu Mian had turned around and walked towards the garden behind him. Zhu Yunwen followed closely behind the white-haired man, wiping cold sweat while saying, "Xian Zheng, have you just found the Yin method?"
"It's so easy to find, it's not called Yin method." Wu Mian replied, and continued, "Look at the luck of that old guy. His unique vision should be rewarded. Be careful of the broken tiles under his feet and walk on my footprints. There are lines of life and death buried in the tiles. I just pulled out six of them, and maybe there are some missing ones."
After hearing the words of the white-haired man, Zhu Yunwen walked forward more carefully. He stepped on Wu Mian's footprints almost every step and walked to the pond in the center of the garden. Seeing that the surroundings were empty and there was no possibility of burying the mechanism. The crown prince finally breathed a sigh of relief. After wiping a cold sweat, he looked at the pond in front of him and said to Wu Mian: "There is no road ahead, how do we go now?"
"There is no road... who said there is no road?" As he spoke, the white-haired man blew a sigh of relief towards the pond, and then he saw the water inside began to separate from left and right, revealing the ground underwater. The pond was full of lotus flowers all year round, and the water was covered with mud. Looking at the thick mud, Zhu Yunwen frowned.
"We are not going to walk over, are we? Wu Xianchang, we can still go around." After looking at the left and right sides of the pool, the crown prince continued, "It's only a few steps away, you can go around."
Wu Mian looked back at Zhu Yunwen and said, "The one on the left is Fengyin, and the one on the right is Wateryin. I have not cracked the formations on both sides. Originally, I could walk on the water, but you can't..."
After saying that, the white-haired man had already walked towards the opposite side of the mud in the pond. However, his soles of his feet were floating on the mud. After walking a few steps, hesitated for a while, and walked towards the other side of the pond.
Zhu Yunwen did not have Wu Mian's ability, and he stepped out of the mud and reached his ankle. He could only pull out the leg with difficulty, and then walked step by step towards the opposite bank of the pond. After only seven or eight steps, the crown prince realized that every step he took was a little deeper into the mud. After only seven or eight steps, his calves were already in the mud.
Looking at Wu Mian who had already reached the center of the pond, the crown prince smiled bitterly and said, "Wu Xiancai, if you walk like this, the mud will be deeper when you walk to your place. Otherwise, you will still be burdened and carried me back, and I will wait by the pond for you and several other immortals."
Wu Mian looked at Zhu Yunwen with a blank expression and said, "What are you afraid of with me? With your ability to speak, we have already arrived on the other side..."
After hearing the words of the white-haired man, Zhu Yunwen sighed. Then he gritted his teeth and continued to walk towards the opposite shore. After walking a few more steps, the mud under his feet became deeper and deeper. When he was about to reach his thighs, the crown prince sighed and said to Wu Mian: "No...you should help me, I can no longer move my legs..."
After seeing that Zhu Yunwen could not move his legs, Wu Mian nodded and said, "Then I will help you once..." When he spoke, the princess felt that the mud under his feet suddenly became less heavy. At that moment, he pulled his legs and moved more smoothly. Just when the princess thought he could continue moving forward, his feet were empty, and his body began to quickly sink to the mud under his feet... "Help... I'm stepping on the empty..." Zhu Yunwen desperately called for help at Wu Mian, and he placed his last glimmer of hope on the white-haired man. But to his astonishment, Wu Mian just looked at him expressionlessly, without any intention of saving him.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yunwen's entire body fell into mud. Then Wu Mian began to use magic, and the originally separated pool water returned to its original position. He stepped on the pool water and returned to the shore, looking back at the crown prince who had sunk into the mud. Wu Mian said to himself: "If you don't live like this, the emperor should be in a panic..."
"So you came for me..." Before Wu Mian finished speaking, the water in the pond separated again. Then the crown prince, who was supposed to be buried alive in the mud, stood still on the mud. At this time, his body and clothes were not stained with any mud. It seemed as if he was standing on the floor. He was smiling at the white-haired man in front of him.
"Can you tell me now, who sent you here?" Zhu Yunwen spoke, slowly walked towards the position of the white-haired man. He continued as he walked, "Is it Monk Yao Guangxiao?
Or are my uncles? If you say something, I will plead for you in front of His Majesty and save the lives of your entire clan..."
"You are not Zhu Yunwen... Are you Wu Mian or will you return?"
Seeing the prince's grandson walking towards him, "Wu Mian"'s face turned pale. It seemed that the formation of imprisoning those people had been broken. At this moment, this man had already begun to use the Five Elements Escape Technique and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
"Are you looking for a few of us?" At this time, an old voice came from behind 'Wu Mian'. When the man looked back, he found that Wu Mian had appeared behind him with two monsters.
