Sometimes I really can't understand these two people.
One moment he was tense, but the next second Mr. Yin abandoned Taoist Meng, led his men and went straight to Shanyin City without saying a word.
When he left like this, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Gui Che looked ahead indifferently, while Lian'er sobbed and lowered his head in silence. Only Taoist Meng stood there and stared at Lian'er for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
Later, Taoist priest Meng came to me and asked, "How did you survive in the Nai River?"
I kept an eye on it and half-jokingly said to Taoist Meng, "Maybe it's because my surname is Zhu Rong."
Daozhang Meng was dumbfounded: "How could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, I shook my head and said, "Nothing is impossible. I escaped from the Nai River. Isn't that a miracle in itself?"
Then I clasped my hands behind my back and pretended to be inscrutable: "I finally understand why Sister Lin didn't tell me her identity. That incident six hundred years ago, it's not too much to say that it cut off the descendants of the world's cultivators, right?
.”
Daochang Meng frowned slightly and lowered his voice and said to me: "So... you must not reveal this matter, don't let others know your last name, and don't let others find out that you are related to Qingluan.
.”
My eyes lit up.
Zhu Rong Qingluan, this is Sister Lin’s name, right? Look, didn’t I trick you out of this?
But what Taoist Meng said next made my heart suddenly sink.
He warned me in a particularly serious tone: "Once you are discovered, not only the underworld, but also anyone with some ability in the world will attack you until you are beaten to pieces!"
"No, that's unfair, isn't it?"
I asked Taoist Meng in a deep voice: "When we entered the underworld, weren't you and Yin Wuxin there? You also killed several underworld envoys, why should they pursue me instead of you?"
"Me? Am I worthy to compete with you?"
Daozhang Meng leaned back quickly: "Don't frame me falsely. Back then, I, Yin Wuxin, and Qinxian together couldn't kill as many people as Yueli herself, let alone you and Qingluan.
How did the two Yamas die? Weren't they stabbed to death by you and Qingluan each with one sword? Didn't the gate of hell also collapse by you two?
Fortunately for Qingluan, she specializes in killing people above the Ming Dynasty, so her crime is not too serious.
But what about you? Regardless of whether you are a ghost general or an underworld soldier, you will not refuse anyone who comes. You can wipe out one-third of the underworld's establishment. Otherwise, how could the heavens send down the thunder of the demon god from the sky to strike you, and also bring Yue Li with him?
Got in?
What do you think Shanyin City is for? Isn't it just to fill the gap you created back then?
Besides, one of us guards Shanyin City, and the other guards the Gate of Hell. After so many years, the mistakes we made back then have long been erased, okay? Even if they want to kill me, they have no reason."
I was stunned, thinking, was I so awesome back then?
But the moment this idea came into my mind, I suddenly felt a little awkward.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I have begun to get used to this identity during this period. Even when Meng Daozhang spoke, I would instinctively think about how awesome I used to be, rather than how awesome Sister Lin's brother used to be.
Ordinarily, this is a good thing and proves that the true spiritual compatibility is relatively perfect. I accepted this setting and recognized his past and experience. The two of us no longer distinguish each other.
But the strange thing is that I am a little scared.
I can't help but wonder, if one day I get back the memory belonging to that true spirit, will I be this man named Zhu Rong, or will I be Gu Yan myself?
What puzzles me the most is actually the inner demon's attitude towards Sister Lin. It has called Sister Lin a bitch in front of me more than once. No matter how you say it, she is a biological sister. It wouldn't say this, right?
I really want to ask my inner demon why he hates Sister Lin, but unfortunately it has been completely sealed by the old man.
Without giving me time to think about it, Taoist Master Meng suddenly grabbed my wrist: "No, where is your inner demon?"
I answered him absentmindedly: "It's been sealed."
Daochang Meng frowned: "Impossible, even if you have recovered your memory, your cultivation has not improved, and it is impossible to seal the inner demon by yourself.
Gu Yan, what happened after you fell into the Nai River? How did you escape?"
What he said was a reminder to me. After recalling what happened on the mountain, I asked him tentatively: "Taoist Priest, since you know so much about the underworld, do you know of any other hermit masters in the ghost world?"
"Master Hermit?"
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and after pondering for a long time, he answered me: "Probably not. Apart from Yan Jun, there are only Emperor Dongyue and the Five Ghost Emperors. To put it bluntly, the ghost clan also has some powerful masters, but they have long been
It has been sealed by the emperor."
I asked him again: "Then do you know the mountain that is two hours away from Shanyin City along the Naihe River to the east?"
"Mountain? What mountain?"
He suddenly stretched out his hand and touched my forehead: "Are you talking nonsense when you have a fever? Shanyin City is surrounded by water. Just search for death in this area. If you can find a small dirt bag more than fifty meters away, I will count it.
If you win, where will the mountain come from?"
What he said made me even more confused. Damn it, was it just me who saw a ghost?
The question is, this is the underworld. It would be abnormal if you don’t see ghosts, okay?
I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out the reason, so I could only tell him with a confused look on my face: "No, I just saw an old man, and there was a black cat named Heili beside him. It was Heili who took me away from him.
I dragged him out of Naihe River, and the old man helped me seal the inner demon."
Taoist Meng's head was also full of questions.
But the inner demon has indeed been sealed, and the ironclad fact is here, so he can't help but not believe what I said.
So in the end he shook his head in thought: "I have been outside the gate of hell for more than six hundred years and walked through the underworld hundreds of times, but I have never heard of the old man you are talking about.
But no matter who it is, after all, he didn't harm you and helped you seal your inner demons. This is not a bad thing after all.
So it has nothing to do with you from now on. You should go back to the city quickly and leave with Yue Li and your body. Shanyin City has been in chaos these past few days and I can’t take care of you for the time being."
To be honest, I really want to leave.
The inner demon issue has finally been resolved. I don’t know if Yingying has woken up or how Qingqing’s health is doing. I also want to go back and have a look and live a stable life for a few days.
But when I thought about Mr. Shen and Yin Wuxin, and then about the old man's words and the message left by Sister Lin, I began to hesitate again.
I always feel like something is going to happen in the underworld.
Maybe this matter has a lot to do with me. The reason why Sister Lin is so anxious to urge me to come is probably not just because of inner demons.
I was just about to ask Daoist Meng if he could walk a few days later, but before I could say anything, I suddenly caught sight of a dark shadow in the distance out of the corner of my eye.
A large group of people dressed in different clothes appeared on the hillside and rushed towards the gap.
