Luo He: "Is there any problem?"

Another guard sighed: "It's a miracle that you didn't die in the fog..."

From the guards' mouths, Luo He learned that the 'Great Fog' was the most dangerous existence in the spiritual world.

In the spiritual world, fog rises and falls, and when the fog covers the sky and the sun, there is a high possibility that extremely ferocious and powerful dead ghosts are hidden in the fog.

"Today's fog is so large that it's a shame you can still walk here alone."

The guard looked Luo He up and down and muttered: "I don't know how someone as capable as you came to the spirit world..."

The reason why he was safe and sound, Luo He guessed, was probably because the knife given by the God of Death had an effect.

Luo He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and explained the reason why he came to the spirit world:

"I accidentally ran into a crack in the spiritual world, was sucked in by the crack in the spiritual world, and then found this place along the heavy fog."

There was a little more sympathy in the guard's eyes:

"You are young and you must have a lot of life left, but you ended up in this ghost place... Anyway, you can't enter the spiritual world, so why not stay in our village."

"What if the village chief doesn't agree?" Luo He said.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them said regretfully:

"You also know that there are many crises in the spiritual world, and our village also has its own considerations. However, the village chief has experienced the same thing as you, and you are very capable, so I believe he will not make it difficult for you."

Luo He said in surprise: "The village chief also fell into the spirit world from the [spiritual world rift]?"

"This matter is a long story." The guard said, "You only need to know that the village chief is the most knowledgeable person here. You will know it when you meet him."

As he said that, he looked at another guard: "Hey, take this young man to see the village chief and talk to him about some rules and so on."

The other one nodded and signaled to Luo He.

Luo He followed his footsteps and walked through Ghost Ax Village.

The buildings in this village were all decent, and Luo He even saw children who were chasing and playing in the form of spirits.

Luo He was surprised to see the smiles of children in the dark spiritual world.

The guard took a look and explained that there were many children who died young in the village, so the village chief took them in and taught them how to read and write.

Luo He couldn't help but stare: "Teach ghosts to read and write?"

"I also often doubted the use of the village chief teaching everyone how to read when everyone was dead. But later, the chaotic ghost village became united. Everyone was willing to listen to the village chief and turn the village away from 'ghosts'.

Human Village' was renamed 'Ghost Ax Village'."

Luo He looked thoughtfully at the child and said:

"Are they getting bigger?"

"It won't grow long. When its life span is over, it will be time to go to the spirit world from here."

It sounds meaningless.

However, at least Luo He felt that the village chief's behavior sounded like teaching.

It's just that the teaching place is a bit remote...the spiritual world.

Luo He became more and more curious about the identity of the village chief, and followed the guard to a simple wooden house.

The guard came forward, knocked on the door, exchanged a few words, and then gave Luo He a look.

Luo He opened the door.

Indoors, the windows are bright and clean, and the display is simple.

Sitting next to the desk was a gentle, middle-aged man who looked like a high-level intellectual. He stood up and shook hands with Luo He:

"Hello."

"You... okay." Luo He stared blankly at the middle-aged man's face.

"Excuse me, what's the problem?" the man asked confused.

The man's eyebrows gave Luo He an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it in his hurry.

Luo He coughed lightly and said: "I just want to ask you... I heard that you also fell here from the crack in the spiritual world?"

"That was more than ten years ago." The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay not to mention it."

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Luo He's mind.

The time matches up!

"Are you... from Donghuang?"

"Yes."

Luo He said abruptly: "Then what industry were you engaged in before coming to the spirit world?"

"Why are you asking this?" The man looked at Luo He in confusion.

"It's true." Luo He observed the man's face and said cautiously: "I know a girl, her name is Li Wanqing..."

The man's smile stopped.

His eyes suddenly became complicated and profound.

As if there were endless thoughts rushing into his mind at the same time, Luo He saw him slowly taking off his reading glasses and sitting slowly at the desk.

There was a suffocating silence between Luo He and the man. Luo He saw his lips move slightly several times, and he finally broke the silence first:

"How...how did you know her?"

"She and I are colleagues." Luo He worded his words carefully. "I heard from her that her father disappeared while investigating cracks in the spiritual world when she was young."

The man smiled full of vicissitudes of life, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched, but there was sadness in his twinkling eyes:

"If she is willing to tell you this, you must be good friends."

Luo He nodded silently.

"How...is she doing lately?" the man asked.

"Very good." Luo He said: "When I was eighteen years old, I was promoted to become the youngest master in the history of Donghuang. Now I am ranked among the top three in the Donghuang Master League."

"She... is eighteen years old." The man's eyes flickered, "Yes, it has been more than ten years, and it's time to grow up..."

"She has never given up looking for her father's whereabouts." Luo He said: "You are her..."

"Didn't you already guess it?"

The man pointed to a chair next to him: "Please sit down."

Luo He sat down and said, "I just didn't expect that I would meet you under such a coincidence."

The man's eyes flickered slightly and he said:

"In the first few years after I came to the spirit world, I was always looking for a way to go back. By a strange combination of circumstances, I became the village chief of this village."

"So, you will always see me..." The man's weathered face still retained the spirit of scolding Fang Qiu, "As the saying goes, gold will always shine."

Luo He: "Director Li..."

"Just call me Li Yangqing." The man said, "Or you can call me the village chief."

It is impolite to call someone by his first name, so Luo He said cautiously: "If there is a way for me to leave the spirit world...are you willing to try it with me?"

"I've tried everything I can."

Li Yangqing shook his head gently: "What's more, I don't have much life left... Even if I can go back, I will come back here."

Luo He wanted to speak but stopped.

Maybe I can persuade the God of Death to be lenient and allow me and Captain Li's father to return.

However, the latter one is an unavoidable problem.

Even the God of Death only has the power to take away life, but not to give life.

Li Yangqing took the initiative to comfort Luo He:

"Birth, old age, illness, and death all have their own destiny... I have already looked away from it, so you don't need to worry too much about me."

Li Yangqing said slowly: "You can pass through the fog and claim to be able to go back. I believe you must have your own means."

"If you can really leave the spirit world and see Wan Qing... please help me deliver a letter home."

Luo He nodded slightly.

The man took off the quill from the desk, and stared at the papyrus on the desk with his deep eyes.

Every stroke and every stroke was poured into the man's full strength, and the roaring sound continued to echo in the quiet room.

An extremely long time passed.

The man exhaled a long breath, folded up the letter in his hand as if it were a treasure, and solemnly handed it into Luo He's hands.

At this time, Li Yangqing asked in a trembling voice: "Can you... really see her?"

Luo He nodded confidently: "It must be possible."
To be continued...
