"It's only been a few days, and all these troubles have happened again. You monster is really not an ordinary person!"
As soon as I sat down, Guichen started laughing and sarcastic at me and refused to do anything more, his character not changing at all.
"It seems that Immortal Treading Maple is quite busy in Suining Town these days. The war is about to begin, why don't you take the time to go back to Yifeng Valley to have a look? That monster is very powerful. I'm afraid it won't be solved in a while. Oh - yes
Yes, with the immortal's pace, even flying in the clouds and mist will still take a lot of effort, but it is not as fast as the time and space magic."
"Humph! Don't talk nonsense, monster!" Guichen was speechless for a moment, and I laughed secretly.
Thinking about it, I guessed right. He really thought that coming here with the help of Ruyuan's magic was very demeaning, so he couldn't let go for a long time.
"How come we haven't seen Hero Bo Yi come with us?" Fu Huanen, who was sitting beside him, seemed to want to change the subject.
"Hero Boyi has other things to do, so he asked Yunzhong and I to come."
I looked at Yunzhong's expression. Although he seemed calm, I knew there were some fluctuations in his heart.
"The same goes for discussing with Meng Daxia. My father has already made arrangements with the county magistrate. In the near future, the residents of Suining Town will be led to a neighboring town for temporary refuge. We only hope that Meng Daxia and Boyi will help escort the group, so that we can rest assured."
"I and my sworn brother should do our best."
"As for Miss Yinluo... she will stay with us to deal with that monster."
Yun Zhong looked sideways at me, and I couldn't help but make eye contact with him, expressing our feelings to each other. Then I nodded to Fu Huanen, but I still couldn't help but feel a little sad in my heart.
"Then did Young Master Fu leave with the townspeople?"
"I and Immortal Guichen are old acquaintances, and we will stay together. But... I hope that Meng Daxia will take Yun Niang away with him. Although she is an alien, her magic power is low, and staying here will only increase the danger. As for...
"
"Hmph! That evil demon, even if you want to protect her, it will be in vain."
He had some scruples about repaying the favor, but was interrupted by Gui Chen. Thinking that he was only worried about Rou Yi.
It's strange that since arriving at Yuanwai's Mansion, I haven't seen any trace of Rouchi. Could it be that she has left Yuanwai's Mansion on her own?
"Hey...it is really helpless to be entrusted by others but fail to fulfill one's promise." Fu Huanen did not refute Guichen, but just sighed to himself.
But when he said this, I had a lot of questions. Did he mean Rouyi when he said he was entrusted by others? According to what Yun Niang said before, he should also have true feelings for Rouyi, but now he said
Is there any hidden meaning in the words "entrusted by others"?
But given the current situation, it is inconvenient to ask further.
"Humph! Ignorance! Such promises are meaningless!"
"Immortal, please calm down. The first priority is that we should discuss how to deal with that monster." Seeing that Guichen was obviously really angry, I knew it was not the right time to speak, so I opened my mouth to bring him back to the topic.
Then, I said to Yunzhong: "Yunzhong, why don't you go back and discuss with Boyi how to safely lead the townspeople to evacuate. I'll be fine here."
Yunzhong still looked at me with worry, but even so, he couldn't stop anything. After all, he is a mortal, and the only thing he can do for me is what he can do. For me, no matter what the outcome, he only needs to
If I can escape this disaster and live well, I have nothing else to ask for. He naturally understood my thoughts, so although he was helpless, worried, and reluctant to leave, he still said goodbye to his master and left alone.
I looked at his back for a long time and wondered if there would be many more opportunities like this.
Seeing him walking away, he repaid the favor and spoke again:
"Has the girl really considered it? It's dangerous to go here. If the girl has concerns but doesn't agree, the immortal and I can still understand."
"Monsters should think carefully. There is no medicine for regret in the world, let alone a way to bring the dead back to life."
I calmed down and said, "Even if I don't want to, I've already been involved in it. I'm afraid your good wife won't let me go easily, right?"
I looked at Fu and smiled sadly, but I didn't mean to blame or resent him. But he still shook his head slightly, as if he was blaming himself.
"That's it. It's just that Cang Li's powerful magic power could only injure him but not kill him. This monster's power must be extraordinary, and we cannot underestimate it."
Later, Guichen told us in detail the plan to eliminate the demons that they had discussed in advance. As I listened, I fell into a reverie. Maybe my thoughts were too complicated, or maybe I had too many worries, which kept me from being able to
Focus. At this moment, I no longer have too many extravagant expectations for the chance of winning. In my mind, I can only hear the rumbling water of Quexian Waterfall, the feeling of the cool breeze on the cliff, and the faint light of the vegetation in the lush forest. In the end, they all turned into clouds.
Gradually, the face with blurred edges and corners, and even the only image, became ethereal, and only the depressed back walked farther and farther away...
"Monster! If he is so distracted when facing the enemy, then we will all die in his clutches?" Guichen yelled angrily, and then forcefully dragged my thoughts back.
"Immortals have their own immortal bodies, so why worry about me? I am a monster, so I don't regret my death, right?" It may have been a sudden feeling of loneliness, but as soon as the words came out, I realized that I had gone too far.
"You ignorant monster, I don't care about you." Although Guichen was displeased, he didn't blame him too much. Maybe he could understand a little bit.
At this time, a family of servants came hurriedly outside the door, but when they saw us all there at the door, they immediately stopped and did not dare to approach rashly.
"Come in, what's the matter?"
Seeing the panic on his face, Fu Huan'en deliberately softened his tone. The servant just entered the hall and timidly replied:
"Young Master, Young Mistress, she..."
"How is Young Mistress?" Fu Huaen's face changed slightly. It seems that I guessed that Guichen must have temporarily detained Rouchi.
"She...is gone..."
"What?" Fu Huanen was really panicked at this time and stood up from the chair.
"According to the young master's instructions, the young one has been guarding outside, not daring to blink. The door has not been opened, the windows have not been opened, and there is no movement in the room. There are no... talismans stuck on his eyes.
As a result, there was a sudden gust of strange wind. After the wind passed, I looked again and saw that the door of the house was ajar. I was anxious and ignored the young master's instructions. I went in and took a look. The young lady... the young lady was gone.
Got it!"
To repay the favor, I could only sigh, shook my head, sat down again, and said to the servant: "Go ahead, I don't blame you for this."
The servant was still frightened, so he bowed and left.
"How? Tolerating the monster will lead to endless troubles. If there are sudden changes, maybe the monster property has recovered, and our plan will have to change." Guichen said angrily.
"I'll go. Since the previous plan can no longer be used and time is tight now, we can only act according to the circumstances. Please tell Master Fu immediately to inform the county magistrate and Yunzhong and take the townspeople away. I will first go to the place where the monster lives to see
look."
"The monster is overestimating its own capabilities! Even if the monster has not recovered yet, with your strength, there is nothing you can do to stop it. If you go, you will surely die. If you go, I will go with you." After that, Guichen stood up.
stand up.
I smiled and said: "Immortal, there is no need to worry. I have my own reasons for going here. Immortal just needs to wait in the Yuanwai Mansion, waiting for the opportunity to move. When I lure the monster out, we can attack together. When the time comes, I will
It will give signals to the immortals."
"Are you really sure?"
I nodded again.
"Okay, I'll wait for your message here." He paused and added, "Monsters should be careful."
I smiled at him, which was a response to his rare concern for monsters.
After leaving the Yuanwai Mansion, I found that the long street was already deserted. It seemed that the county magistrate had spread the news, and many townspeople had left first. The rest were too scared to hide at home and did not dare to come out. In the past, Suining Town
The lively scene no longer existed. This inevitably made me even more disappointed. At this moment, I gradually understood why my mother would strictly order the monsters in the forest to stay away from the world. Even monsters without evil nature want to coexist with mortals.
It may not be easy. Mortals are too weak. They are afraid of the spiritual power of demons. They stay away from the well-intentioned ones and slander the malicious ones. Therefore, good demons are also forced to do evil. Except for those demons who are originally ferocious in nature,
Are there any creatures in the six realms that are born evil?
As I walked, I thought, as if I wanted to recall everything I could think of and sigh, because I didn't know if there would be another chance after this.
A sharp scream suddenly came from an alley. I was startled. I suddenly felt a rather powerful force rushing through me on the other side of the long street. I knew something was wrong. The aura was clearly demonic.
Moreover, it was also mixed with a strong smell of blood.
My heart tightened and I immediately ducked into the alley where the sound came from.
A cold wind blew past, and even though the sun was still hanging in the sky, there was no warmth at all in the alley. A little girl had her back to me, kneeling on the ground, her body shaking constantly, faintly
Listening to her still sobbing, the bleak and weak back made people feel chilled. In front of her, there was a corpse that had just died. It looked like it was a woman, with messy hair covering half of her face. If it weren't for
I couldn't feel her breath anymore, she just looked like she was sleeping peacefully.
I slowly walked closer and looked past the little girl who was still sobbing sadly, but I saw another scene. The woman's face was unharmed, but her chest was in terrible shape. Her heart was pulled out.
Some broken organs and flesh connected to the heart were in a mess on her body. The sight was really unbearable to look at.
I quickly stepped forward to pick up the little girl and covered her eyes. In an instant, my hands were wet with tears from her eyes. She was still crying and even started to tremble in my arms.
When I looked again, I saw that the girl was the Ying'er from that day. The corpse on the ground was probably the woman who came to look for her that day. I held her tightly in my arms. I couldn't help but think of the things I didn't want to remember.
scene.
Once upon a time, I was like this, watching my mother lying in a pool of blood, her body was completely broken, and her life was exhausted before my eyes. Suddenly, my hatred spread in my heart again.
It’s the demons again! I must kill all the demons!
"Ying'er, don't cry. It's sister. Sister, will you take you to a safe place?" I stroked Ying'er's hair and hugged her tighter, hoping that she would stop shaking because of fear.
"The monster...the monster...killed...my mother...Ying'er, Ying'er is afraid..."
"Don't be afraid, sister will protect you."
"Woooo..."
Ying'er kept sobbing, and I could only feel her trembling getting worse and worse, but there was nothing I could do.
"A child's memory is the most profound. It seems that she will never be able to get out of the shadows for the rest of her life."
At this time, an erratic voice appeared from behind me like the wind. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was fate.
I turned around and she was already behind me.
"You still won't leave?"
"Why should I leave?"
"Aren't you afraid of becoming the prey of that evil spirit?"
Ru Yuan smiled: "No matter how powerful he is, he may not be able to find me. I can leave from under his nose in an instant."
"You overestimate yourself too much. Maybe you have forgotten that demons are also very good at time and space spiritual arts."
"Yeah, so what?"
"Since he is good at time and space spiritual arts, he must also know how to prevent you from using time and space spiritual arts."
Ru Yuan snorted, but did not refute again.
"Okay. I won't beat around the bush. Anyway, you helped me find my sister. Although it's just a transaction, I can still do something for you."
"You still think of her as your sister?"
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to survive the day I was born. The choice my mother made at that time was helpless. When I became an adult, I felt that my sister was not dead, so I looked for her everywhere. Later I found out that she was trapped by a skill.
I have been entangled with her from time to time, trying to save my sister. No matter what she becomes now, I still only have this sister."
"What about Skill Training? Isn't she also your sister?"
"How could she be the same..."
"Speaking of it, your grievances and resentments are quite bizarre. In fact, you didn't take the life of the skill trainer. I'm afraid you still care about some blood ties."
"Hmph... If she offends me again, I will still kill her. Also, that special skill!" Ruyuan's eyes turned, but seemed to be focused on the dead woman. A flash across her face
There was a hint of horror, but it was fleeting.
"What's wrong?"
Only then did I realize that Yinger fainted in my arms because she was probably too sad.
"This...this is..."
I also turned to look at the woman, and I had more doubts. But halfway through Ruyuan's words, she didn't say any more.
"Is there something fishy about this dead woman?"
Ruyuan's eyes suddenly felt a little sad, and she said quietly:
"This person was killed by my sister."
I was really surprised and asked quickly: "Seriously? But didn't you say that the nine-tailed fox doesn't need a mortal heart to practice?"
"Yes, but the human heart is the favorite food of the Nine-tailed Fox. It is especially effective against the injuries suffered by the Nine-tailed Fox... This person still has the aura of his sister on his body, which is unique to the Nine-tailed Fox clan.
of."
"Food... So, then you..."
"I don't have such an evil nature. When I was young, the forest owner of the Yuyu Forest rescued me and refused to take me in. He sent me out of the Yuyu Forest and handed me over to a childless mortal. I
It was raised by humans, so of course it will never eat humans again."
I thought about it for a while and said to myself:
"Just now, I clearly felt that there was demonic energy nearby. Although it was not strong, it was undoubtedly demonic. Could it be that Ruyu..."
This time, the fox demon was even more surprised.
"No! The nine-tailed fox clan is the most aloof and arrogant, and they will definitely disdain to become a demon!"
"Then she must have gotten involved with that monster."
I remained silent.
"That monster must have intimidated my sister, I'm going to save her!" Ruyuan suddenly became confused and was about to leave.
"Don't be reckless!" I stopped her, and her blurred figure became clear again. "In any case, we don't know the recovery situation of the monster now. If you go so rashly, you will only die."
"What about that? I haven't lived as long as you, and I don't think about as much as you. All I know is that I have to go find my sister now."
"Then we can't just go like this, you are no match for them." I looked at Ying'er who was still sleeping in my arms, and then said, "Can you do me a favor first?"
Ruyuan followed my eyes and looked at Ying'er and said, "What do you want?"
"Erase her memory and forget what happened today."
Ruyuan was startled at first: "Why is this necessary? She has nothing to do with you, and she is just a weak human being."
"Human emotions are the richest and most complex among all living beings in the six realms. If she experienced such a tragic event at such a young age, would she spend the next few decades in endless fear and sadness? Maybe for
For us, decades are just a blink of an eye, but for her, decades are her entire life."
"I didn't expect that you would actually pity a humble mortal? It's really interesting... I really learned a lot after getting to know you. Well, it's not difficult anyway."
After saying that, Ruyuan waved his finger and gently drew a faint light in the air. Then, the light seemed to have spirituality, dragging its long and soft tail, swimming to the top of Ying'er's head, just like this.
, the halo seemed to suck something out of Ying'er's body. It was so light and slowly dispersed.
"That's good. Now this little girl's mind is completely blank."
"You actually erased all her memories?" I was a little surprised.
"Of course. If she doesn't forget her mother's appearance, or even who her mother is, one day she will find out what happened today. Then won't all your hard work be in vain?"
After hearing this, I felt a little sad. It turns out that it is so easy to get rid of some memories. But if you really want to erase a memory, the price you pay is too high. Fortunately, Ying'er is just a child, and without all the memories, she can still...
You can start over. But if you experience more things, you can’t keep the memories you want to keep. Hasn’t life become too bleak? How many people have the courage to start over again?
Afterwards, I disposed of the body of Ying'er's mother, and together with Ruyuan, I sent Ying'er back to Mengjun Villa and handed it over to Yunzhong, asking him to take good care of it. I didn't tell him my plan, and just asked him to take everyone away quickly.
I have never forgotten Yun Zhong's last look at me, as if every time he looked at me, it was a farewell. He didn't say much, but we knew each other's thoughts deeply.
I had already chosen to leave, so why should I force myself anymore? I just hope that Yun Zhong can gradually forget this relationship in his future life. Unfortunately, he does not have a long time for him to forget.
The secret of skill training has been solved, and her fate with Yun Zhong may be over. As for me, the only thing I can leave him is Ying'er, who has lost his memory, and the deep look when he parted.
