A green road stretched out, and Ye Zhaoling stepped on it carefully, soft yet firm, steadily bearing the entire weight of her body.
The distance between the blades was not far, and she could not even see the magma surging under the gap.
After Ye Zhaoling walked to the top of the Bodhi tree, he saw tens of thousands of fish hooks hanging on the aerial roots of the Bodhi tree, with a fishing line hanging from each fish hook, and these fishing lines fluttered into a silvery white.
of vast oceans.
Complementing this silver-white ocean are countless honeycomb-shaped magma tanks, with fish heads one after another staring up at the dead fish.
Under these magma jars is a blood-red river.
Ye Zhaoling stared at this strange picture and couldn't believe what kind of world he had entered.
The woman in black gauze sat on the aerial roots hanging from the tree crown, one behind the other, swinging leisurely.
She waved her hand: "Let me see, what did you catch?"
Ye Zhaoling saw his father, Huang Daochang and others being dragged over by fishing lines, and the nine of them lined up.
The woman in black veil looked at them carefully, shook her head, stretched out her hand and patted the Qi root: "Bodhi, I know you are very excited, and I can understand you. But these things are all garbage, they have no value at all. Heap
It’s such an eyesore here.”
"It's rare to waste my bad mood."
The magma jars under their feet followed them at the same time, waiting neatly below. However, all nine fish heads in the magma invariably stuffed themselves tightly into the magma, for fear that any part of their bodies would be exposed to the air.
They are afraid.
Ye Zhaoling looked at the woman in black gauze on the swing.
She swung on the swing, chuckled, stretched out her hand and listened: "Let me listen..."
"Insignificant human being, are you afraid?"
Ye Zhaoling couldn't answer what she didn't want to say, so she chose to remain silent.
"You are as afraid of me as my children are of me."
"How interesting."
The woman in black gauze stood up and turned around in a circle, her skirt was like a cloud.
The long skirt under the black gauze flutters, the cuffs are decorated with bows, and a slender finger stretches out from under the bow.
The woman in black veil turned back, gave her a condescending look, and pointed at her: "Who are you as a visitor here? I don't remember, and it doesn't matter."
"Now, there are two ways before you. One, answer my question, answer wrongly or lie to me, you have to choose a fish to feed my children."
"...Fish." Ye Zhaoling opened his mouth, the syllables coming out of his throat were dry and blurry, and his eyes fell on his father.
In this weird and terrifying woman's words, are her father and several other people just "fish" caught on her hook?
"If you don't choose one, I will assume that you have chosen the second path. This path is quite cruel for a small human being."
Ye Zhaoling shook his head: "I don't make a choice. If you have any questions, just ask."
The woman in black veil murmured: "Would a despicable and selfish human being be willing to trade his own life for the chance of others escaping? The answer depends on the heart."
"Insignificant human being, I know you will choose the first path."
The woman sat down on the swing again, and the swing swayed very rhythmically. She hummed a few pleasant syllables: "You seem to be unwilling? So what can you do? The weak do not deserve to have more choices.
, the reason why I gave two paths is just to see you struggle and struggle for these two choices, and finally have to compromise and choose the path I want you to choose."
The woman's voice suddenly became dull: "You are smart and stupid. You have seen through my intentions. You don't want me to get what I want, so you don't make a choice. If I were a stingy guy, I would break your beautiful head and put makeup on it right now."
Dot it in my garden.”
The Bodhi tree suddenly shook and a strong wind blew up. Ye Zhaoling held on to its branches tightly to avoid being thrown down.
The woman swung high into the sky on the swing, drawing a perfect parabola in the air. A vulture swooped down and stopped at her feet obsequiously, with the woman standing on its back.
That compassionate gaze wandered across the river of time on Ye Zhaoling's face.
"But I am the most benevolent being in the world, and I never care so much about small things."
"Now, let's start with him, I know-"
The woman in black gauze waved her hand, and several air roots crawled toward her father like snakes along the path of the wind. Then, they stopped half a meter away from him, staring at him eagerly.
Ye Zhaoling clenched his fists.
The woman in black gauze smiled: "He is the person you care about most."
Ye Zhaoling stiffly repeated twice: "What's your problem?"
The woman in black veil tilted her head and shushed mysteriously: "Don't make a sound——"
——
Ye Zhaoling's vision went dark.
My eyes slowly brightened up.
My father was sitting on the sofa in the hall, with a disheveled beard on his face, his neatly combed white hair tangled together, and fatigue weighing on his shoulders.
The housekeeper walked in with Ye Jiu who was tied up tightly, followed by Huang Daozhang.
Ye Jiu knelt on the ground obediently. Her eyes glanced at Huang Daozhang, and she lowered her head obediently.
Huang Daochang looked at her: "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
"Steal something that doesn't belong to you." Ye Jiu raised his head and stared at Huang Daochang with hostility.
Huang Daochang laughed angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, you know my methods!"
Ye Jiu was silent for a while: "Ye Zhaoling's heart. I'm here to find Ye Zhaoling's heart."
Her father suddenly stood up, staggered and grabbed her shoulders: "Zhaoling is still alive?! Have you seen her?!"
Ye Jiu stared at him: "I told her everything. Thanks to you, she is not dead yet, but if she can't find her heart, she will definitely die!"
The father stood up, and the housekeeper rushed over to support him, but he pinched his arm: "Do you hear that? Housekeeper! Go find! Go find! Find her!"
"Just find her! My daughters won't die! They won't die! They won't die...find her!"
"Everyone is looking for it!"
"Master, since the eldest lady already knows the whole story, I'm afraid she won't come back with us easily. Besides, she just had her flesh and blood removed a few days ago, so it's not appropriate to go under the knife again..."
Huang Daochang chuckled: "Does Butler Ye still not understand? What I mean is that it doesn't matter whether she is dead or alive, even if it is a cold corpse! She must be brought back to the Ye family intact..."
My father didn't say anything. He sat down in silence and looked in the direction of Ping'an Building, which had been destroyed by fire.
He didn't say anything but let everyone understand his attitude.
Ye Jiu laughed sarcastically.
In this laughter, everything returned to weirdness.
Ye Zhaoling lowered her head and found that her fingers could not stop trembling. Many emotions surged in her chest at the same time, making her whole body feel cold.
The heavenly voice of the woman in black gauze fell lightly on the ears like goose feathers.
"Do you resent him?"
Ye Zhaoling raised his head in confusion.
Does she resent "father"?
After all, this man is not her real father...
But the voice of the woman in black veil sounded again: "Tell me, do you resent him?"
Ye Zhaoling clenched his hands: "...No."
"Oh, let's go next."
——
That night, the Taoist Priest, who had packed up and was wearing brand new robes, hummed an unknown tune and came to No. 66 Qingchun Road again.
The news reported the fire on No. 66, it was tragic, it was really tragic.
Although he didn't know which evil guy set the fire, he knew that his soul hunting bottle was not a treasure that would be burned by ordinary flames.
A stranger of unknown origin is gone.
What he cares about is whether his soul hunting bottle can catch this woman's three souls and seven souls.
This is what is most important.
How could Ye Zhaoling's house be burned down for no reason?
Time is also fate.
It's a pity that I have been feeding Dan for ten years and taking good care of him.
As long as there is a few kilograms of meat or intact bone marrow left.
He is capable of making elixirs made of the flesh and bones of the living dead.
It's a pity that Ye Zhaoling's body was burned away, and no one has found even half of his charred skeleton.
A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Now there is no flesh and blood to refine the green elixir.
If he missed the soul hunting bottle again, he might have to vomit three liters of blood on the spot.
"If that girl Ye Zhaoling was burned to death by fire, it would be regarded as her own creation. At least her body would be intact. Although her soul would not be reincarnated again, at least she would not be disemboweled again and her flesh, blood, and bones would be used to make elixirs.
"
"Of course you have to use living people to make elixirs. How spiritual can the elixir made from dead people be? Tsk, this old guy like Ye Gonggu doesn't understand, he's just a mortal. Hmph."
But after looking through it five times, every time I looked through the ruins of the wall and every piece of broken tiles, I couldn't see the familiar little white jade bottle.
The Taoist priest's face looked a little ugly.
"Where's my bottle?"
Ye Zhaoling looked at him expressionlessly until he disappeared.
The woman in black gauze asked: "Do you resent him?"
Ye Zhaoling shook his head: "From the moment I knew that he was duplicitous, I would not give him any chance to hurt me. If someone asks me to help kill him, I will take action when necessary."
"I don't resent him."
The woman in black veil gave an unclear "hum".
——
The next moment, Ye Zhaoling saw himself.
"She" looked down at the clouds and mist flowing between the cliffs of Qingcheng Mountain, with an extremely indifferent and unruly expression on her face.
Only then did Ye Zhaoling realize that his eyes were very dark, set on that gentle and harmless face, calm and calm.
Quite worthy of a beating.
"Ye Zhaoling, you really look like a mad dog." Ye Ba's voice came from behind.
Ye Zhaoling and "she" turned back at the same time.
Ye Ba looked at "her" with an unhappy face, and beside her stood Tang Boyu.
"She" smiled: "Who are you? Are you worthy of shouting at me? You hang out with this bastard from the Tang family. Can you really not see what role you play? You are mentally ill.
Go and treat it, don’t get involved.”
Ye Zhaoling touched the non-existent sweat on her forehead. Did she say this herself?
A bastard from the Tang family?
Ye Bazhen was right, he really looked like a mad dog when he bites people when he catches them!
It must have been before she lost her memory! She swore that her current nature was definitely not so arrogant.
Ye Ba was so angry that he laughed back: "I've been vaccinated against rabies, do you think I will be afraid of you? I kindly advise you, a clown like you, to stop barking. Only I will be the final winner."
"You are a short-lived and incompetent waste, a evil star that punishes all relatives. I am really scared of the legendary evil star combination, but if you really curse everyone to death, you should be able to win in the end.
?”
Ye Ba rushed up: "If the tiger doesn't show off its power, you will be treated as my father..."
"She" had a mocking smile on her face, but the next moment——
The cliff cracked with a "bang", and Ye Zhaoling fell into the cliff together with the stone!
Everyone was stunned.
"I'm trapping you! Ye Zhaoling! Don't think you'll fall and become a pulp! I didn't know you were deliberately disturbing my Taoist mind!"
