It is an ordinary courtyard with blue bricks and black tiles.
The moment he stepped into this place, Lu Zhong's eyes and all his attention fell on a woman in the courtyard.
Li Hejun!
Even though they hadn't seen each other for many years, he still recognized each other at first sight.
However, compared with the image in Lu Zhong's memory, Li Hejun at this moment seems to have lacked the nourishment of the beauty pill. Not only has his temples become frosty white and extremely old, but he also has a sallow and sick look.
If he is not mistaken, I am afraid that Li Hejun is already seriously ill and will not die soon.
"Ahem, cough! Yue He, who is this?"
Li Hejun raised his head but did not recognize the person's identity.
She looked up and down and saw that the person in front of her was dressed in unusual clothes and looked handsome. A smile suddenly appeared on her originally sad face.
Obviously, Li Hejun misunderstood the identity of the visitor.
"Come on, come on, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk."
Before Lu Zhong could react, Yue He made a move first.
"Senior, please save my mother!"
She suddenly made a plop, knelt on the ground and begged: "As long as Senior is willing to take action, Yue He is willing to be a slave in this life, and will also be a cow and a horse in the next life, in order to repay your kindness!"
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Lu Zhong, who rarely asked for reward, walked directly to Li Hejun, grabbed the skinny hands, and sent the spiritual energy in with ease.
After some inspection, Li Hejun's condition was quite bad.
As a mortal, without beauty pills and other spiritual objects, even with the monk Yue He constantly sending spiritual energy to regulate her body on a daily basis, she would still be unable to withstand the erosion of time.
Not to mention, there is still a vicious aura lurking in Li Hejun's body.
It is precisely because of its existence that it continuously plunders the vitality and vitality in the body, which led to Li Hejun being seriously ill and about to die before he reached the end of his life.
After Lu Zhong determined the source of the disease, he directly used exquisite magical control to remove it from Li Hejun's body.
"Similar to Madama Butterfly, but slightly different."
After careful analysis, Lu Zhong got an interesting answer.
This is his magical power after alienation.
"So, I am not dead in this world, and I have even joined forces with Madam Butterfly? But since he wants to kill Mr. Li He, why does he use such torture methods?"
".It looks like some kind of treasure refining method."
However, now is not the time to focus on that.
After removing the source of the disease, Li Hejun's condition not only did not improve, but worsened instantly.
He vomited blood on the spot.
If there is no rescue, I am afraid that I will not survive tomorrow.
"senior!"
Yue He's eyes turned red and he shouted sadly.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Lu Zhong came out with reassuring words.
In his opinion, the reason why Li Hejun is in this situation has a lot to do with the alienated magic power in her body. Although this breath continued to invade Li Hejun's life, it also became one with her.
When one loses, both suffer, and when one gains, both prosper.
Therefore, the disease will only worsen after this magic power is removed.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely be helpless at this moment.
But Lu Zhong is different. As a monk in the Void Refining Realm, after his Yuan Ning has undergone several transformations, his understanding of the levels of life is far beyond that of the Dan Yuanying monks.
Even more, there is not just one solution.
As for what method to take, Lu Zhong was going to ask the parties involved first.
But before that, the condition still needs to be stabilized.
As a result, Lu Zhong pressed Li Hejun's lower abdomen and directly began to transfer magic power. With the help of exquisite medical skills, this decaying body was brought back from the edge of death.
After doing this, he presented the plans one by one.
Unexpectedly, Li Hejun, who had just walked on the line of life and death, looked calm after hearing this.
She bowed slightly, said a thousand blessings, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, senior, but I also ask you to atone for your sins. I no longer have much nostalgia for this world, so I would rather live by it."
When Li Hejun said this, he moved his gaze to Yue He aside.
"Yuehe, it's time for you to think about yourself."
"No! I can promise my mother anything, but not this time." Yue He choked and said, "Yue He will never be able to repay my mother's kindness in adoption, so let me be willful this time."
Looking at this touching scene, Lu Zhong suddenly said:
"I think you two may have misunderstood something."
"What I said just now was not a lie. It was just a matter of saving people. It was just a simple task for me. Furthermore, madam, I happen to have something to ask you here. You can consider it as a reward for treatment. "
After hearing this, both women showed surprise.
Then, a look of surprise appeared on Yue He's face.
At least my mother can survive.
one year later.
After Lu Zhong's treatment, the effect was very satisfactory.
What he did was very simple, that is, discarding Li Hejun's old body. After all, there was no need to carve the rotten wood, and then directly re-condensed it with mana to reshape her into a new body.
For Lu Zhong, it is not difficult to operate.
The only trouble may be lack of spiritual energy.
This is why it took a year.
Looking at his young face in the mirror, Li Hejun couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. Then he touched the soft skin that could be broken by blows, and it was even better than the best condition it had ever been.
After a while, she finally calmed down.
A question immediately emerged in Li Hejun's heart, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
That's why this generous senior knows her appearance so well when she was young. It's been so long that even she can't remember it clearly.
Even those parts are so clear.
"Is it the old man? No! Impossible!"
Li Hejun had an idea in his heart, which made his eyes slightly red, but he immediately put the idea away. Because she knew very well that since that day, the master had already died.
There is no resurrection after death!
Lu Zhong, who was on the side, saw the change in her expression. It was not difficult to guess what she was thinking. He cleared his throat and then said: "As agreed, it's time to ask Madam to answer some of my questions."
Li Hejun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, leaned forward and said:
"Senior, it's okay to ask."
"I want to know what happened in Yunlu Pavilion that day?"
"Yunlu Pavilion? Regarding the specific situation of that day, I actually don't know." Li Hejun's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "But on that day, my master Lu Zhong was the former owner of Wanghai Pavilion. , I have been here together with senior Yu Feng'er from the Chengde Chamber of Commerce."
"Later, Master, he and his seniors all died there."
Li Hejun wiped his tears lightly before continuing and lowering his voice:
"According to the statement given by Changchun Valley, both of them were harmed by demonic cultivators. When their bodies were found, they were no longer human, and I reluctantly restrained them and buried them. As for the identity of the murderer, , is the current owner of Butterfly Valley, True Lord Butterfly who has usurped the foundation of Changchun Valley."
"Mr. Butterfly."
Although Lu Zhong had already guessed it, he still felt a little touched after hearing it.
"It turns out that if I failed unfortunately back then, Madam Butterfly would be able to rely on the teleportation array in the Western Region to rise little by little until she replaces the position of Changchun Valley and becomes a true king at the Nascent Soul stage?"
"But why do I still need to unify this world line?"
After thinking about it, there is probably only one possibility.
That is the Lu Zhong of this world. After his defeat in the battle of Yunlu Pavilion that day, he did not really die as Li Hejun said. It is very likely that he continues to live in the world in another way.
Recalling the nature of the ray of mana just now, it is not difficult to come up with an accurate answer.
"It's time to become a ghost cultivator." Lu Zhong murmured.
"Senior, what did you say?"
Li Hejun didn't hear clearly for a moment and asked subconsciously.
"Pah, pah!"
However, Lu Zhong did not reply to her, but looked outside the courtyard, where there was already a figure, a dark-haired young man in black robes, with a pale and bloodless face, and a pair of evil eyes with a faint green light. .
The applause just now came from this person.
Judging from the aura of cultivation, it is obvious that he has already cultivated in the pill formation stage. And just as Lu Zhong guessed, "Lv Zhong" in this world has turned into a ghost cultivator after his death, so he has ghost energy.
When he saw who was coming, Li Hejun froze on the spot as if he was electrocuted.
"Jun He, I'm back, why haven't you come over yet?" The dark-haired young man looked at Li Hejun with a cold look on his face, and murderous intent slowly arose in his eyes.
"No, you are not the master!"
Li Hejun took several steps back, crying.
In her memory, although Lu Zhong was busy practicing, he would never look down on the people around him. He would never show such a terrifying expression like he does now.
Rather than looking at a person, it is more like looking at an object.
"Don't be afraid, mother, I'm here!"
Yue He reacted at this time and blocked Li Hejun.
Lu Zhong, on the other hand, stood by and watched without any intention of moving. Immediately he turned around again, looked at the roof behind him, shouted towards the empty place:
"And this fellow Taoist, is it time to show up too?"
"What!"
After hearing this, the expression of the dark-haired young man changed.
There was a flash of blood, and a figure in red appeared on the roof.
"Elder Zuo, how could you do this?"
"I appear here on the orders of the Valley Master." Under the red hood, a skinny old man with a green face and fangs said expressionlessly.
Then, he turned his eyes to Li Hejun and said sarcastically:
"I didn't expect that you would dare to disobey the Valley Master's order and refine magic weapons here privately."
"It's a pity that we failed in the end!"
Elder Zuo turned his gaze to Lu Zhong and looked at the dark-haired young man again, just as he was about to say something more and attack his competitor.
At this time, "Lv Zhong" suddenly moved.
The ghostly shadow flashed and reappeared in front of Elder Zuo, and immediately a huge black claw protruded out.
The latter seemed to have expected it and took a step back slightly.
He shook his sleeve again, and suddenly there was the sound of clanging swords, and a blood rainbow shot out from the middle, but it was a flying sword as colored as rouge. It easily blocked the incoming giant claw and then slashed it out with a spin.
Sparks flew everywhere, all of which were caught by the dark-haired young man.
"Humph, I didn't expect that. I have already thoroughly studied all your methods!" Elder Zuo was holding the sword while holding the spells, spitting out streaks of poisonous flames.
At the same time, he never forgets to say something to distract his opponent.
But what he didn't expect was that "Lu Zhong" was not idle either.
With a move of his hand, he suddenly gained a black banner.
There is black energy lingering on its surface, and the appearance of human faces can be vaguely discerned, and all of them are wailing and screaming. The sinister appearance makes them look particularly scary.
When he saw the black flag, Lu Zhong frowned slightly, but still did not take action.
"Ten Thousand Soul Banners, you, you, you!"
When Elder Zuo saw the flag clearly, he was so shocked that he took several steps back.
"I didn't expect that you actually made the flag!"
"What a heartbroken ghost cultivator!"
If they fight again, even if Elder Zuo also has magic weapons, he is still no match for "Lu Zhong", but judging from his appearance, he is not worried at all.
Soon there was a sound of breaking through the air.
Several streaks of rainbow light escaped from the distance, followed by flying boats.
"Hmph! No matter how strong you are alone, even if you hold the Ten Thousand Souls Flag, you will never be a match for Butterfly Valley!" Seeing the reinforcements coming, Elder Zuo thought that the overall situation was decided.
Immediately, he spouted out the facts.
"Do you really think that Gu Nei doesn't know about the magic weapon you refined here? Stupid, we are just pretending not to know. If the Valley Master hadn't been in seclusion at that time, how could he allow you to jump to this moment!"
"The purpose is to wait for you to enter the city, and then kill you in a group!"
Elder Zuo's words were obviously meant to delay time.
"Lv Zhong" had no expression on his face after hearing this.
He glanced at Li Hejun, and then waved the Ten Thousand Souls Flag in his hand, obviously with the idea of destroying his opponent first.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner is worthy of the name of Shangzong's magic treasure.
The situation changed as soon as he took action.
Under the full force this time, thousands of ghost heads can be released. Their strength is strong or weak, and there are many mortal souls among them. They are led by the soul of the monk who died tragically and roar towards Elder Zuo.
Ghosts cry, wolves howl, weep and moan.
Under the attack of the group of ghosts, Elder Zuo's protective aura weakened rapidly. According to this situation, he may not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive, and he will die in the ghost mouth and become one of the ten thousand soul flags.
This far exceeded his expectations.
With a scream, Elder Zuo finally miscalculated.
After dealing with his opponent, "Lv Zhong" looked at Lu Zhong with fear.
"Who are you, Your Excellency?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, but I really want to know what purpose you have at this moment, so you don't want to let go of your last breath and stay in this world." Lu Zhong asked.
"What's the purpose? Hahaha!"
"Lv Zhong" suddenly laughed wildly, his eyes igniting with green flames.
"Of course. It's for revenge!"
In the battle at Yunlu Pavilion that day, he was finally defeated by Madam Butterfly because of his carelessness.
I thought this would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, he could not even rest in peace after death.
She was transformed into a ghost cultivator by Madam Butterfly and was forced to practice the "Resentful Puppet Sutra" to help her break through the bottleneck. The more the fire of resentment burns in the heart, the more obvious the effect will be.
