For this journey, they did not choose a spiritual weapon, but hired a boat and took the water route.
Li Jinzhu Xiu is sitting on the bow of the boat making tea. His movements are graceful and every move can be included in the painting.
The Taoist priest said verbosely: "Flower Immortal, may I ask where you come from?"
The Flower Monk held a fishing rod in his hand, fishing for a fish that was destined to be impossible to hook, and said: "There is no door, no sect, just a casual practice."
Han Yueshan and the other three were sitting carelessly peeling lotus roots. Their style of painting was completely different from that of Li Xiu.
Zhao Xue said casually without thinking: "Didn't you talk about returning to secular life before?"
The senior brother snatched the lotus root from his hand and said: "Silly, Buddhist cultivators are not ordinary monks. How can it be so simple to return to secular life?"
The flower monk thought for a moment and said politely: "The young monk left the sect without the sect's permission."
There was silence on the boat, and everyone looked at it in stunned silence.
Li Xiu shook his hand and the tea overflowed, but he couldn't care so much and said in shock: "Didn't you come out to practice?"
"No, for some reasons, the master did not want the young monk to go out for training. But the young monk really yearned for life outside, so he knocked out his fellow apprentices and escaped. In a sense, the young monk has betrayed the school."
Everyone on the boat was silent.
In the cabin, Tao Zi rubbed the hairpin in her hand. On the table were the lotus seeds that Xi Jing had sent not long ago.
She stared at the hairpin, thoughtfully. She didn't believe that she left the hairpin on purpose just to remind her of her memory loss.
After thinking about it, she said in her heart: "Do you have any memory?"
It said lazily and perfunctorily: "Little Azi, I still say the same thing, the things you can't remember, even my inner demon can't remember."
Tao Zi was skeptical about this, but didn't ask any more questions.
She looked at the word "dye" on the hairpin and unconsciously sketched its lines.
Suddenly, her fingers stopped on the "wood", which seemed to be a little convex.
Tao Zi narrowed her eyes and pressed it experimentally.
"Click"
The sound was so subtle that it was almost inaudible.
Tao Zi let go, stood up and walked outside, breaking their silence and saying: "Xijing, senior sister is a little tired. There is no need to call senior sister when we have dinner later."
Xi Jing came back to her senses and said, "Okay, senior sister."
She went back to her room and closed the door.
After some attempts, the hairpin head fell off, and the yellowed paper inside the hairpin body came into view.
Tao Zi looked at it for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
After taking it out, she slowly spread out one of the papers - it was blank.
Tao Zi was not surprised, but tried to input spiritual energy.
Sure enough, the paper gradually turned white, and the densely packed words on it appeared in front of her.
Looking at the characters that were so close that they could hardly distinguish each other, Tao Zi read on patiently.
[In person from the execution hall:
When you read this letter, it means that Senior Sister has failed. The nearly hundred-year struggle between Senior Sister and that person has finally come to an end.
Over the past hundred years, the person behind the scenes has controlled senior sister's memory and manipulated senior sister's emotions, leaving only senior sister's life behind.
…
The person behind the scenes intends to support the three of Xu Qianjia, but there is no need to rush to deal with them. Those three people are not smart enough. If they take action and let him be replaced by someone else, it may be more troublesome. Moreover, those three people are probably not aware of these things. Otherwise this is never a stupid attitude.
…
Remember, you cannot trust anyone in the Minglan Sect, including me, your deceased senior sister. 】
Tao Zi pressed her forehead and tried to analyze the message conveyed inside, but she only found it incredible.
Have the memories and emotions of the past hundred years been manipulated? That person is still trying to support idiots like Xu Qianjia? Why didn't she tell Xingzhan directly instead of leaving such a letter?
Tao Zi opened another larger blank paper and tried to input spiritual energy into it, but there was no change.
She frowned, thought twice, and cut her finger open. When the paper touched the blood, it immediately turned red, and black words appeared on it.
This paper identifies its owner, and only the owner's blood can reveal the words. In other words, she does not want the content inside to be seen by anyone other than herself.
To her surprise, the content on it seemed to be spliced together, not complete, and even the time could not be seen. It was more like an essay.
[Tsk, I actually chose Xu Qianjia and the others, the person behind them is not smart either]
[You want me to train Xu Qianjia? OK, then I will train you well]
[Although it was expected, I was still very angry. Aren’t those three people smart? Can't you see such an outrageous change in my attitude? Even the new Xiao Xingzhan felt something was wrong]
[Yue Qiran, were you blind before? He actually chose three white-eyed wolves to be his junior brothers and sisters. That's all. They are just for wrestling now anyway, so why put too much emotion into them. 】
[It works. The thing in my body seems to think that flattering and killing is good. For a moment, I don’t know if I am stupid because of the calculation, or the person behind the scenes is not good at it]
[If I can survive, I will definitely get those things back one by one. Are they worthy of those good things? 】
[Nascent Soul, as long as you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can fight against that thing in your body, but he will probably kill me directly. The question is, how can I deceive him and make him think that I am still accused? 】
[I really want to escape from the Minglan Sect, hide, and take revenge slowly. It’s a pity that there is a magic sign in my body, so I can’t escape. Fortunately, I followed my first instinct at the time and tried my best not to let the execution hall implant the magic sign. It was like having an extra helper]
[The new junior sister seems to have a bad mind...Why are all my junior brothers and sisters so virtuous? But this is also good, it can stimulate me. As long as the thing in my body attacks one more time, I can usher in a period of sobriety as soon as possible, even if the thing is planted again later. Hey, if it weren’t for the fact that she looked at me with real malice, I would have suspected that this little junior sister was here to help me]
[Is Master involved? If not, why didn't he notice something was wrong with me? If he participates, he is a heavenly king, why would he bother to make such a calculation]
[Xiao Xingzhan tested it, which caused me to have a seizure and scared him, but as soon as I woke up, I didn’t remember anything. Fortunately, this guy is smart and finds various reasons to show me his brain]
[Xingzhan was targeted and his eyes were gone. I have to find him an eyesore, but luckily I didn't involve him before. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided not to say anything. If the person behind me doesn't kill me, it doesn't mean he won't kill me. I finally found a lovely little apprentice. It's a pity to lose him.]
[The time I have to wake up is getting less and less, but I have no choice. That person is too powerful. Normally, I don’t remember anything at all. And now, I can’t tell anyone, and everyone who can help me is being watched. , even meeting in person is very dangerous, so we can only find some ordinary people to keep the letters]
[Nascent Soul...it seems to be getting more and more difficult. Now I come here to ask Ayuan for help. I hope it won't cause big trouble]
[Don’t think about those disappeared memories, don’t question your feelings for those three idiots, let alone hurt them, your brain won’t hurt, and these things are easy to deal with]
[Before going back, I left clues for Xingzhan and the others. Once I die before Nascent Soul, they should escape from Minglan Sect according to the reminder. As for revenge... I can’t wait for it, so it’s the end of Xingtang’s treatment of me. Moreover, once the execution hall is gone, half of the Minglan Sect will be destroyed]
…
Looking at these scattered words, Yue Qiran pressed her head, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.
what happened?
She took a deep breath, discarded the messy thoughts in her mind, and finally returned to normal.
Just in case, she quickly took the note back. There were still some unread ones and she didn't have time to read them.
The inner demon watched with great interest and said: "How do you feel?"
"what happened?"
"how could I know?"
Tao Zi silently recited the meditation mantra. After she was completely calm, she said in a calm and almost cold voice: "I am living in a scam, and it is a scam with no hope."
"oh?"
"Didn't you see? Normally, I don't know anything. When I'm awake, no one can tell me. Even the execution was something I guessed and noticed was wrong."
The inner demon shrugged and said, "So? Are you going to back down?"
Tao Zi laughed, but her eyes were so cold: "How is it possible? I didn't give up in that situation. I tried my best to leave clues and evidence to remind myself. Now that I have escaped by chance, it is even more impossible to back down."
"It looks like you have no hope at all."
She touched the hairpin and said, "This is hope."
The inner demon looked over.
That person was very powerful, but not so powerful that he was omniscient and omnipotent, otherwise she wouldn't be able to keep these things.
Moreover, someone must be helping her, but I don’t know who they are.
She has finally faked her death now and must not show up rashly.
Tao Zi suddenly said again: "I can't kill the person behind him, but I have to kill those three and get those things back."
"You could die."
"Then die."
The inner demon looked at her strangely and said, "You didn't know all this before. You treated them so well and were betrayed, but you didn't have much thoughts about revenge. Now you are thinking about it."
"If I had done those things voluntarily in the past, who could I blame? Their attitude was clear enough. I was the one trying to be nice to them."
