Chapter 358 Survival
Here is a somewhat gray strait, and the source of the gray comes from the dark sky that has always gathered thick clouds.
The air here is humid and fresh, with a wet and earthy smell.
When Lin Yan raised his head with a little fear from under the water, he found that he was in this place.
Where is this?
When Lin Yan asked himself, the familiar sound of the wind came into his ears clearly.
The wind here is not small, and a desolate silence blows.
As he looked around, Lin Yan was surprised to find that this was like a dead land, empty.
And myself...
Lin Yan began to observe himself, and suddenly realized that he had no entity!
Although I am in the underworld in a ghost state, I can at least feel the existence of my "body" and can be seen and touched.
Now, Lin Yan's eyes could see himself seem a little illusory, let alone touching it, as if it was integrated with the air, and his hands penetrated through his chest.
"Ah... it's true that it's the state of the soul. Then again, how is my body like?"
If nothing unexpected happens, I have indeed returned from the underworld, but what is surprising is that my soul did not directly return to Tang Xuanzang's body, but appeared in this desolate land without a master.
Ah, by the way, I heard Luo Luo say it before...
Lin Yan suddenly recalled that Luoluo once said that the general location of the underworld is at the junction of the Southern and Northern Mings, under the endless sea of the Underworld.
If I catch the power of Emperor Whale and return to the sun, I might have been sent back to the "water surface" from here?
So, where he is now... Lin Yan looked up and looked around for the second time.
Could it be next to an isolated island located on the vast sea of darkness?
Lin Yan, who realized his current situation, had not yet realized the joy of returning to the sun, but was poured into cold water by reality again.
Without a physical body, it means that your realm is zero, just like a baby who caresses the power of a chicken tied up is discarded here. Without any foreign aid, it is almost impossible for me to leave this island, right?!
Just when Lin Yan was in trouble, a bright light lit up from the shallow not far from him, attracting his attention.
When I got closer, I found that it was the lower realm Qingjin and the Eye of the Candle Dragon that were teleported here by Luoluo.
Lin Yan, who found a little comfort, picked up the two pieces of stones that were unique in the world, smiled slightly with satisfaction and said, "In this way, I have completed the agreement with you two, right? Whether to leave or stay is all up to your wishes."
These two pieces of gold and jade made from heaven and earth are very spiritual. When Lin Yan was looking for them in the grottoes, he had "communicated" with them.
"So... then follow me."
Lin Yan's closed eyes slowly opened, and it seemed that the two stones had already given their answers.
At the beginning, Lin Yan promised them that the condition for them to be born was to bring them to the prosperous age and truly shine and heat.
Lin Yan did it, and brought them to a larger stage than Fengdu, that is, the human world.
It's also magical. Even though I'm in a state of soul, I can still pick up things that are real and have an impact on reality...
Sudden.
A golden light lit up slightly on the lapis lazuli in the lower realm, and then jumped into Lin Yan's ear orifice-
At that moment, a familiar voice echoed in Lin Yan's ears.
"Xuanzang, after returning to the Yang Realm, remember to find a living thing that can be possessed by himself, whether it is a human or an animal demon spirit. Otherwise, your soul will soon lose its vitality because it is not nourished by a human body, and eventually dry and dissipate on the spot."
The sound comes from Luoluo. I guess she placed her voice in the lower world's lapis lazuli before leaving.
The soul will dry and disperse...
Lin Yan suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. If he could not find a living thing to rely on in time, even if he worked hard to come out of the underworld, he might have evaporated directly because he lost the protection of the underworld!
"Living things, living things..."
Lin Yan murmured, looking around, but found in despair: this ghost place where birds do not shit, almost no grass grows, let alone the so-called living creatures.
After a brief exploration on the shallows, Lin Yan gave up his fantasy about the island.
There is almost nothing to keep alive here, and this island is definitely a dead island.
If that's the case...why go to the ocean to try your luck?
Modern science tells us that although we don’t know whether the origin of life and the ocean are effective in Journey to the West, the possibility of life in the endless ocean is definitely much higher than that on the island.
So, then again...
Lin Yan suddenly remembered something.
By the way, since I have completed the separation of my body and soul, Tang Xuanzang's soul has long been cold. In other words... my soul should belong to me 100%, right?
That is, the soul of the eel spirit at the beginning.
I have been transformed into Tang Monk for too long and I almost forgot that I traveled to this fantasy world. At the beginning, I was actually an unknown little eel.
Since that's the case... Lin Yan suddenly had an idea.
I saw him pinch his fingers with both hands and silently recite a transformation curse—
With a "puff" sound, when Lin Yan came to his senses, he actually turned into an eel!
After a closer look, this eel is also translucent, not a physical body, but a soul state.
Lin Yan shook his body excitedly, feeling the long-lost limbs, still swimming in the water.
After becoming a human for too long, he almost forgot how the eels move. The movement of the tail fin, dorsal fin, tail and waist look particularly awkward.
After a while, after almost getting used to it, Lin Yan began to try to leave the shallows and swim deeper into the shore.
It was not until Lin Yan swam about three hundred feet away from the isolated island that he suddenly remembered...
The eel seems to be a freshwater fish...
"Hiss...Damn! I can't breathe anymore! Puff puff puff puff puff puff..."
Lin Yan, who turned into an eel, kept flapping in the water, but the rising splashes were not yet visible.
It is even more dangerous to turn back into a human form at this time. It is better to swim back to the shallows as soon as possible.
But before he could swim halfway, Lin Yan felt embarrassed and found that he seemed to be unable to hold on!
Just as he kept fluttering back and forth and was about to take a dog, a strong wind suddenly fell from the sky!
