The main branch of the Ji family is Luoxue Pavilion.
This pavilion, with its beaded and jade curtains and carved beams and painted pillars, was the resting place given to Xu Lian'er and his daughter by Ji Hong when Ji Quexue was born.
"Quexue, do you know about the return of the eldest son?"
Xu Lian'er looked worriedly at the girl on the couch who was fiddling with a Zhenjue, her expression a little solemn.
Ji Quexue lowered her head and looked through the mantra. As she danced lightly with her bare hands, a ray of mysterious light appeared and condensed into a small and delicate fire lotus on her fingertips.
After a few breaths, she dispersed the fireworks in her hands, raised her head and said: "No need to worry, Grand Duke... Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation and extinguished the fire in his heart. Can he get this position bestowed by He Xuan?" arrive."
After going through a lot of twists and turns, Ji Quexue seemed to have become a different person, her eyes were extremely firm, and the cowardice and weakness in her had long since disappeared without a trace.
Xu Lian'er sighed and said: "But he is the eldest son after all. Although it is difficult to rekindle the inner fire after it is extinguished, but in case..."
"Nothing goes wrong," Ji Quexue stood up. Against the background of her aqua blue dress, her delicate and white face became more and more pretty. "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, Ji Hong will go to Heyun Temple to transfer this... My place is completely determined."
"Quexue, how can you call your father like that?" Xu Lian'er shook his head, looking a little unhappy.
Ji Quexue was silent for a moment, walked up to Xu Lian'er, looked down at the woman in front of her who was half a head shorter than her, and said word by word: "From that day on, I will never recognize Ji Hong like this again." A cold-blooded and ruthless man is my father, and if one day I succeed in Xuanfa, I will make him regret for what he has done!"
"Que Xue! How could you think so!"
Xu Lian'er stared blankly at Ji Quexue, this daughter had become so strange at this moment.
Ji Quexue leaned even closer, her hair hanging on Xu Lian'er's shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Mom, you were also the eldest lady from the Xu family back then. If you hadn't been so cowardly and blindly obedient, With no independent opinion, my mother and daughter will definitely not be so miserable in the Ji family these years. Compared to the cruel and ruthless Ji Hong, you are the culprit. "
After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the attic.
Xu Lian'er stood alone in the empty Luoxue attic for a long time, lying on the couch and burying her head deeply in her arms.
Not long after, bursts of sobbing could be heard faintly in the attic.
…
It's when the cold wind comes into the night again.
Ji Bugui was flipping through an ancient book in the study, and couldn't help but admire it secretly.
He couldn't even read a single page of such an obscure book with seal characters. Mr. Ji, on the other hand, has made dense annotations on the dozens of ancient books on the bookshelf on the west side. Obviously, Ji Yuenian has already read through these different types of complicated ancient books more than once.
"Although the people in Luzhou, Beiju, like to kill, they only make ends meet, and have a clumsy nature and unrestrained emotions, so they don't do much. Note: This is what I said."
After barely recognizing the ancient seal script on it, Ji Bugui couldn't help but shake his head after reciting this sentence in a low voice, and said to himself: "The person in Lao Shizi's ancient book actually arranged Beiju Luzhou in this way. It is really ridiculous, even Even the eldest son’s annotation is a bit confusing to me.”
After finishing speaking, he put down the ancient book in his hand and turned his gaze to the large sandalwood table next to the window.
The upper left corner of the desk is densely packed with many objects, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which are obviously used by Ji Yunian on weekdays.
Ji Bugui stepped forward, and just as he was about to look through the books placed on it, a low voice came from outside the study.
"My eldest son, the master of the house invites you to go to the Zhenhai Hall."
The Zhenhai Hall is the core main building of the Ji family. It has a main hall and six branch halls. The Ji family ancestral hall is located in the Juling Hall behind the Zhenhai Hall.
Ji Bugui paused and said, "Okay, I'll go there right away."
The voice said again: "Young Master, please leave now."
Ji Bugui's eyes were a little embarrassed, and in his heart he felt even more worthless for Ji Yuenian.
Although this person is respectful and polite on the surface, his tone is actually aggressive. It is really chilling that the dignified eldest son of the Ji family should be treated like this after extinguishing his anger.
"I understand."
Ji Bugui thought of Ji Yuenian's explanation, suppressed his unnecessary thoughts, pushed open the study and walked out.
The window sash of the attic was not closed, and the cold night wind swept into the palace room, turning the yellowed pages of ancient books with a rustling sound.
The obscure ancient book that Ji Bugui had just put down was gently closed, revealing its broken cover.
Five twisted seal characters were listed vertically on it, glowing slightly with golden light.
…
The main branch of the Ji family is Zhenhai Hall.
"Young Master, please go in."
Xu Jianghe, who was dressed in black armor, looked at "Ji Yuenian" in front of him expressionlessly and spoke calmly.
Ji Bugui glanced at him, stood under the palace door for a moment, and then stepped into the brightly lit hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Ji Hong sitting on the highest throne, and he couldn't help but feel a layer of gloom in his heart.
"Nian'er, how are you recovering?"
Ji Hong got off his seat and walked slowly towards Ji Bugui.
After all, Ji Bugui was just a mortal, and Ji Hong was quite majestic as the head of the family. At that moment, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his mind felt waves of indescribable depression.
"Nian'er?"
The ground in the Zhenhai Hall is divided into three levels, from high to low to the door of the palace. Ji Hong stopped in front of Ji Bugui, and then stood on the ground on the second floor. Under the large shadow, Ji Hong Bugui couldn't see Ji Hong's expression clearly.
Ji Bugui regained his composure, forced out a smile, and said: "Master...Father, I am feeling better."
Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if he noticed something, but he didn't care. He reached out and patted Ji Bugui's shoulder and said, "Nian'er, do you want to take revenge?"
"Revenge?" Ji Bugui was confused.
Ji Hong turned sideways slightly, letting the lights in the palace shine on Ji Bugui's bewildered face, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, when you were abandoned and thrown into the Qingluan Mountains, you were supposed to die without any chance of life, but now, although I don’t know why I was able to return intact, but my inner fire was extinguished and I lost all my memories. This revenge... must be avenged."
"What does Father mean by these words?"
A stream of cool air spread into the body from the spirit-catching ghost clothes, making Ji Bugui sober up a lot.
Ji Hong glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly: "Your memories of this life are all in your soul. If you want to take revenge, you can only try to take out the incantation you were thrown into by casting some spells that are quite damaging to you." Memories from before the Qingluan Mountains.”
Ji Bugui noticed the slight trembling of the spirit-catching ghost clothes, and felt a lot more at ease. He raised his head and said, "What should we do according to the father's wishes?"
Ji Hong was silent for a moment, as if extremely reluctant, and sighed slightly.
Ji Bugui sneered a little, but still maintained respect on his face, saying: "Father, it's okay, Nian'er's cultivation is completely useless at this time. If I can get this revenge, it will save some face for our Ji family, Nian'er Willingly!"
Ji Hong hesitated for a few breaths and then said: "For the current plan, the only way is to use the soul-searching spell to separate a part of your soul. Maybe you can detect those memories."
Ji Bugui responded without any hesitation: "Okay!"
The Zhenhai Hall was extremely quiet, with no one around except the "father and son".
Ji Hong was a little surprised by Ji Bugui's decisiveness. He thought about it for a moment and then said: "There is one more thing that I don't know whether to talk about as a father."
Ji Bugui sneered in his heart, but did not stop at all. He said respectfully: "Father, it doesn't matter if you say so."
Ji Hong paused for a moment and said: "The fire in your heart has been extinguished, and there will be no chance of igniting it again. But if I can remove this sixth-grade fire that is attached to your soul when it is split, Refining it and using it on my father is also a way to enhance the strength of our Ji family."
silence.
Ji Bugui didn't know what expression to make at this time, so he had to stay silent.
Seeing that he seemed to be resisting, Ji Hong hurriedly said: "Nian'er, you must be willing to do this, otherwise your father will not be able to get this kind of fire. The Ji family is now weak in the ancient city of Taichu. How about you help my father for once?"
Every living being has an inner fire attached to its soul, but 99% of the living beings are unable to ignite it. However, the inner fire that is ignited and then extinguished can be swallowed by other creatures to enhance its inner fire sequence level!
It's just that most of the creatures after the inner fire is extinguished will die directly, so there are not many opportunities to use this extremely harsh method.
Ji Hong's Heart Fire Sequence Level is only the seventh level. If he can swallow "Ji Yuenian's" extinguished sixth level Heart Fire Sequence, then he will most likely be able to raise his Heart Fire Sequence Level. You can even take advantage of this situation to directly break into the upper state of returning to true nature!
All the flaws of "Ji Yuenian" were covered up by the spirit-catching ghost clothes. According to Ji Hong's induction, there was indeed an extinguished heart fire in the soul of "Ji Yuenian". This was also his reason. The real purpose of calling "Ji Yuenian" at this time!
It can even be said that when he first saw "Ji Yuenian" who had extinguished the fire in his heart, this extremely vicious thought had already arisen in his heart.
Ji Bugui was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, father, when will you decide to cast the spell?"
Ji Hong's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. It was only at this moment that the leader of the cultivating family, who had returned to the original state of truth, was able to take off his thick mask and reveal the truest side of his heart.
"I will send people to prepare now, and I will cast the spell at midnight tonight! Don't worry, Nian'er, after I take out the memory, I will definitely avenge you!"
After saying this, Ji Hong knew something was wrong, so he laughed twice and said: "Even if your soul is split, you may not die. Don't worry, I will do my best to save your life as a father!"
Obviously, in his eyes, "Ji Yuenian", who had lost all his memories at this time, could already coax without any concealment, without worrying about any consequences.
Ji Bugui nodded pretendingly, then retreated directly into the darkness of the hall and sneered lowly.
Save your life?
Casting a spell to split the soul is essentially death without rebirth.
If the inner fire seed is removed from the origin of the soul, the soul will be destroyed directly, and the true soul will reincarnate and go away, without any possibility of survival.
