When Yin Huan opened his eyes, the first thing he felt was the stinging pain spreading down his calf.
She woke up with a start and realized the source of the pain was her cramped right leg. She grimaced in pain, tried to stand up, and tried to reach out to the big toe of her foot. In the past, when she encountered this kind of situation, she followed her mother's instructions and kept her feet completely vertical to her legs, and then she could recover quickly by pushing her toes hard with her hands. Only then did she realize that she was actually in pain all over her body, just in varying degrees.
When I started moving, I felt pain in my waist. Originally, she could easily perform this action, but now she is restricted by all aspects and cannot touch it. The pain caused by the cramps made her break into cold sweats. She finally pushed forward and clung to the cold toes. This pain was not relieved immediately. It lasted for a while before Yin Huan recovered.
She found herself lying somewhere with a blanket next to her. Her own clothes were changed. Although they were a little too baggy, they were very comfortable to wear. It was a clean old cotton coat. She slowly moved her legs under the bed and found that she had no shoes. Where did the clothes that originally belonged to me go? She put her bare feet on the ground, looked out the window, and found that they had been cleaned and dried by someone unknown.
This is a very small yard, and overgrown, uncut weeds make the limited area even more cramped. I don't know what time it is now, but the bright sunshine is falling in the courtyard, adding warmth and vitality to the place. Yin Huan wandered around the house for a while in confusion, wondering whether he should go out. At least she knew clearly that she was not dead yet.
Although I have never been to the underworld, dead people will not suffer from cramps.
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. She couldn't answer, so she could only look there with vigilance. But she wasn't thinking about hiding. For some reason, she vaguely felt that it was not necessary. Would the person who really wanted to hurt her put clean clothes on her, cover her with a warm blanket, or even save her life?
The person who opened the door was a wrinkled and gray-haired grandma. She was holding a basin of hot water in her hand, which looked very heavy. It was so heavy that she couldn't straighten up. She shook violently with every step she took. Yin Huan quickly rushed over to help her carry the basin.
"Oh...girl, you're finally awake. Come on, I'll get you a pair of suitable shoes..."
Yin Huan placed the heavy hot water on the ground. Most of the water in the basin swayed back and forth and almost spilled. This old woman is really strong. At least the basin is stable in her hand, but it just feels a little heavier. Her eyesight and hearing seemed to be pretty good, and she could at least communicate with Yin Huan without any obstacles, even though she didn't say anything. She followed her forward, and the old lady helped her pull out a basket from under the cabinet. The basket was filled with woven straw sandals. She picked and picked out two, bent down and placed them in front of Yin Quan, and said to her with a smile:
"Try it, girl, I did it myself."
Yin Quan put on the straw sandals. The soles were very soft without any barbs. She wanted to say thank you so much, but she still couldn't make a sound. She could only bow slightly to express her gratitude.
"I know you are speechless, so there is no need to say more to thank you. Girl, please go out first. Someone is waiting for you in the courtyard."
The old man spoke clearly, and Yin Huan also understood. She sighed softly and walked in the direction pointed by the old lady. This was not the front yard where her clothes were hung to dry, but the back yard. But the backyard is also extremely small, too small to fit a third bench.
Yin Huan's pupils dilated briefly in surprise.
That is……
Mr. Jiyue! She ran up in a few steps, somewhat doubting that she was dreaming. But she finally understood what the Lord of Bones' prophecy meant. It was indeed fulfilled in some form, but unfortunately, he was the only one who saw him.
"Sit down, silly girl." He scolded, "You almost lost your life!"
Yin Huan knew that he was in the wrong, so he sat on the stool opposite him, his head lowered, like a student who had made a mistake and was punished. But Lord Jiyue soon let out a sigh. He shook his head, his eyes invisible through the curtain.
"You came out of the gap between the six spiritual veins. If I hadn't happened to be nearby, you would have died here. That spiritual vein is at the bottom of the water. Needless to say, you are on the other side. If you were not maliciously framed, you would have died. It must have been a mistake. If you had known that the exit here was in the pond, you would never have taken the risk."
Yin Huan nodded, but Lord Jiyue couldn't see anything. But since he could say that, he must have roughly guessed his situation. She wished she could tell or write down her experiences. No matter what they choose, the two of them still cannot communicate effectively. Yin Huan was a little confused and didn't know what to do next. But there is nothing to worry about. She is so safe now and nothing will happen to her.
"This old girl is an old acquaintance of mine. She changed the clothes you are wearing, so don't think too much about it."
Yin Huan wanted to laugh a little, how could she question this.
"I, roughly know your situation..." Mr. Jiyue continued, "I once had several apprentices. You may know about it, or you may have never heard of it. One of them speaks like you I can't say. She also has a sister, but she's biological. Her sister can't hear, but she can convey our thoughts to each other easily. Ah... these sudden remarks seem to have nothing to do with the current matter. You Just think of it as the nostalgic moaning of an 'old man'."
After that, he stood up and looked beyond the courtyard further away. This house is very remote, and beyond, there is endless grassland. The grassland is withered and yellow, and no evergreen plants grow here. Everything showed a subtle sense of depression, which made Yin Huan's heart feel cold.
She stopped looking at the scenery and turned her head to Lord Jiyue. Lord Jiyue's eyes were clearly unclear, but his line of sight seemed to exist, and passed through the eyes, staring at a place that ordinary people could not reach. His expression was a little sad, a little sad, but he didn't seem... not that sad. He put his hands in his hands and wore green clothes in this lifeless courtyard, like dead trees sprouting new shoots in spring. But the buds and leaves that grow in autumn will make people feel sad after all.
Yin Huan felt in a trance. This scene was exactly the same as what she had seen in the prophecy of the censer. It did come true in some form. She opened her mouth to "say" something, even though she knew she couldn't say anything. But this habit was so ingrained that she never corrected it, just as she was sure that one day she would be back to her old self.
Lord Jiyue spoke first: "Ah, tell me about you. Well, you really want to go home now, don't you?"
Yin Huan nodded subconsciously, but then denied the idea and shook his head quickly, like a rattle. Although Lord Jiyue couldn't see it, he could detect Yin Huan's reaction in other more sensitive ways. Even without looking, he could guess that they were close to each other. He said softly:
"I understand your homesickness, and I also know that you are reluctant to leave your sister and friends behind. In that case, even if you are surrounded by the care of your loved ones in a warm home, your heart will not be at peace. In fact, we really can't be like this. Send you home... Your body contains a powerful power that you can't even imagine, or a curse. You should have noticed that it is related to your previous life, which is the obsession that was imprinted in her heart after her death. . Your meeting with the holder of the Heart of Garuda is equivalent to continuing the fate of your previous life. Logically speaking, in this way... your curse should be lifted."
Yin Huan froze on the spot.
real? What he said...is it really that simple? Merely meeting Chenxing and helping each other, not to mention being unilaterally favored by others, can dispel the nightmare and erase the demonic nature of this damn voice? Impossible... Although encounters are indeed about chance and coincidence, this is too bizarre. How can such a simple thing be possible? What's more - she can't speak yet.
As if he had seen through her heart, Lord Jiyue continued: "But you can't speak yet, and we don't know yet whether the curse has been lifted. Because you can't speak, it's your heart disease, not the curse, so we can't verify it. Moreover, ...Indeed, all this seems too simple, and we don’t know whether your fate with Garuda is enough to resolve Kalingbinga’s obsession. When you were a child, you once passed Wuyonglan with the fragment of the wish-fulfilling pearl. , and now we are separated from the guardian of Garuda Heart, but is it really over? It’s hard to say. Therefore, we cannot let you go back so easily. That Lord is all-knowing and all-powerful, and He is determined that if this matter cannot be handled, Well, you will become the evil that brings disaster to the world - maybe the evil envoy."
Lord Jiyue spoke in an understatement, but Yin Huan's face turned red and white. She was so scared and worried at the same time. She didn't want to be like those evil angels and associate with such inhuman things.
"Don't be too nervous... there is always a way to everything. At first, Shuiwu-jun was in charge of your affairs, but he was quickly taken over by Yingyue-kun. That adult allowed her to lead you, but nothing happened. Results. This shouldn't be done, because the power of Sleeping Dreams exceeds almost everyone's imagination...and she 'rebelled'."
Yin Huan didn't dare to take a breath, and just listened to Jiyue Lord in a daze, waiting for him to explain everything clearly.
"She actually took action against her colleagues... I thought that only Hongxuan Changye was the one who dared to do this. How long has it been since Yingyue-Jun contacted you? You don't have to answer this question, we know it well. What's surprising is that like Xuanye, Just like Lord Yue, that gentleman turned a deaf ear to Lord Yingyue's rebellion and turned a blind eye. This shouldn't be the case, because... He clearly sees so many things in the world."
Maybe, He can't take care of it? However, this idea only flashed through Yin Huan's mind, and then was crushed and thrown away. It's really ridiculous. Before Liu Dao Impermanence said anything, it was her turn to comment on the Lord of Naraku.
"It sounds cruel to say this, but you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself." Lord Jiyue's tone was somewhat sad, "This is not what I want, but I am busy with official work and it is difficult to lead you on the six paths. Other colleagues also That's right. We shouldn't have let you go through the ups and downs of the world alone. After all, you are such an unstable existence, and this is too cruel to you, but..."
But?
She looked at Lord Jiyue eagerly, waiting for his next words.
"But this is what the Lord meant."
Ling Huan frowned and was speechless for a moment. She really didn't dare to think about why, because she couldn't figure it out. Why did that adult make such a decision? He wasn't afraid of himself, so he really caused harm to the world without anyone watching him?
Or……
Is this decision simply to let her wait for death?
