The Black and White Impermanence pursued for a while. Seeing that Mo Qi seemed unaffected, they gritted their teeth and chased a bit further. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, and looking at the flames that were constantly rising ahead, they stopped, watching Mo Qi escape into the distance with resentment.
"Let's go, we'll go around," said Black Impermanence.
"That's the only way," said White Impermanence.
Mo Qi carried Shi Siyao forward. At first, he didn't feel uncomfortable, but later, as the burning and tearing forces intensified, Mo Qi found it unbearable and increasingly difficult. Sweat poured down like a waterfall, and his body felt like it was melting.
Shi Siyao cried out with concern, "Brother!"
Mo Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't get distracted, focus all your spiritual power. We're still far."
Shi Siyao's eyes welled up with tears. She immediately obeyed, calmed her mind, and focused all her spiritual power to resist the continuous heat.
They flew for a very, very long time like this, finally passing through that abyssal hell.
Looking up, a magnificent palace stood before them, inscribed with several large characters: Yan Wang Palace!
Beyond Yan Wang Palace lay the Bridge of Forgetfulness!
Beneath the Bridge of Forgetfulness was the River of Oblivion!
It turned out that passing over the abyss of hell could skip many places; it was a complete shortcut!
As long as they crossed Yan Wang Palace, they could reach their destination!
Mo Qi was a little excited, but then he suddenly remembered that there was a Mirror of Reincarnation in Yan Wang Palace, which could show past and present lives. He suddenly became interested.
He patted Shi Siyao on the back, signaling her to get down.
Shi Siyao seemed reluctant. After a moment of hesitation, she reluctantly got down.
"Do you know who your past life was?" Mo Qi asked with a smile.
"No!" Shi Siyao replied casually.
"Then let's go in and see, we'll know soon," Mo Qi said, walking towards the palace.
"But I don't want to know," Shi Siyao said decisively.
Yet, she still took a step and followed Mo Qi into the palace.
When they reached the entrance, they were stopped by two minor demons.
This was because they were two living people, too obvious.
Living people were not allowed to enter! According to their duties, they had to question them about what was going on. Had they been mistakenly apprehended? Were they forcing their way in?
Mo Qi didn't want to get entangled with them. Just as he was about to subdue them with force, one of the minor demons exclaimed, "Qi'er, why are you here?"
Mo Qi was also surprised. Could he meet an acquaintance here?
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than his father, Mo Shan.
How did he end up with this kind of job in the underworld?
Mo Shan was almost in tears. He stepped forward to support Mo Qi's shoulders. "Qi'er, you... you're not dead, are you?"
Mo Qi directly threw himself onto Mo Shan's shoulder and burst into tears. "Dad, I'm not dead, not dead. How did you die so quickly?"
Over the years, no matter what difficulties or obstacles he encountered, he had faced them alone. No matter how difficult it was, he could hold back tears. But in front of his father, he couldn't help but weep.
"If you're not dead, what are you doing here?" Mo Shan pushed Mo Qi away, looking at him sternly.
"Dad!" At this moment, Shi Siyao came forward and bowed to Mo Shan.
Mo Qi was stunned!
Shi Siyao's behavior was sometimes inexplicable and absurd, but at other times, it was particularly perplexing.
Just like now, was she truly foolish or pretending to be?
As expected, Mo Shan misunderstood and nodded repeatedly at Mo Qi. "Good, good!"
Then he glared at Mo Qi. "Since you're not dead, why did you bring your wife to a place like this? Hurry back!"
Mo Qi was at a loss for words, neither crying nor laughing.
Shi Siyao just giggled there.
"No..." Mo Qi was about to explain seriously.
Mo Shan looked at Shi Siyao, a flicker of panic in his eyes. With his unique gaze as a ghost messenger, he perceived something amiss with Shi Siyao.
He quickly and nervously pulled Mo Qi aside. "Your wife is not normal!"
Mo Qi gave him a thumbs-up. "Good job, Dad. All these years in the underworld weren't wasted."
Mo Shan became angry and tapped his head. "Still the same, no sense of seriousness. Is this the time for jokes?"
Mo Qi coughed dryly. "Actually, I know. And it's precisely because I know that I brought her here, planning to get some water from the River of Oblivion to refine a pill and restore her to normal."
After a moment of stunned silence, Mo Shan said, "That won't be easy, will it?"
Mo Qi patted his chest. "This is very simple for me."
Mo Shan tapped his head again, then frowned. "This is considered trespassing! It's a real headache. Also, why are you going to Yan Wang Palace?"
Mo Qi lowered his voice. "I heard there's a Mirror of Reincarnation inside, which can show past and present lives."
Mo Shan also lowered his voice. "You'd better not trespass. If you force your way in, I'll be punished from above, and you'll likely not be able to get in. I can find time to check for you and then tell you in a dream."
This seemed feasible too!
"Then, besides checking my past life, you also need to help me check on these people: Wu Wan'er, Wu Xin'er, and Xue Ying."
At this moment, another gatekeeper, seeing their family reunited, asked enviously, "Old Mo, is that your son? Not bad. Finally, you're reunited in death."
Mo Shan shot him a glare. "Don't talk nonsense. Your whole family will be reunited soon!"
Mo Qi suddenly remembered a question and asked anxiously, "Dad, what about Mom? Where did she go?"
Mo Shan sighed. "I don't know either. She probably never came down. I've been waiting for her here all along, but I never saw her. Perhaps she went to heaven."
No way! He always thought his family was a tragedy, becoming an orphan within a few years, too miserable.
But now, looking at it, their family background should be considered that of public officials!
At this moment, Mo Shan said with some urgency, "Hurry up and leave if you have something to do. Also, since I've interacted with you just now, you must knock us both out before you leave."
Was he trying so hard to protect his job? Mo Qi found it difficult.
At this moment, Shi Siyao suddenly burst out, "Let me!"
Her palms emitted two beams of red light, striking Mo Shan and the other gatekeeper, knocking them to the ground.
Mo Qi glared at Shi Siyao. "Do you have any sense of proportion?"
Shi Siyao said with a relaxed expression, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Just then, two black and white figures were speeding towards them.
Mo Qi immediately grabbed Shi Siyao's hand again, bypassed Yan Wang Palace, and flew towards the Bridge of Forgetfulness.
And at this very moment, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. She walked out of Yan Wang Palace as if no one else was there, and then headed towards the Yellow Springs Road.
It was Lian Xin!
It seemed she was allowed to enter!
This was too confusing!
Mo Qi was bewildered, but with the Black and White Impermanence closing in, he dared not think too much or look too long. He could only lift his body and speed away.
On the Bridge of Forgetfulness, there was Meng Po!
Meng Po was a kind old woman, her face full of wrinkles, her hair white, her figure somewhat plump, and also a bit hunched.
