Who does Shu Yuehen care about most in this world?
After she traveled to the world of immortality, the people she spent the longest time with were her master Su Baicheng, her junior sister Su Xiang, and her junior brother Mu Hanyun. After Su Baicheng's death, the ones she cared about most were Su Xiang and Mu Hanyun.
Shu Yuehen hoped that both Su Xiang and Mu Hanyun would be well.
She didn't want to tell Mu Hanyun that she cared about him, so she kept a straight face and said nothing.
Mu Hanyun didn't care. He always tried his best to make the senior sister talk. As long as the senior sister talked to him, he would be happy.
After a long time, the red boat arrived at a small island in the lake and stopped on the shore.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun stepped off the red boat and stepped onto the island.
There was still a thick fog all around, but there seemed to be a bright light in the distance.
The two of them walked towards the bright light. After walking about a hundred steps, the environment suddenly changed.
They seemed to have arrived at a camp, surrounded by thatched huts and with muddy ground under their feet. Many people with sallow faces and thin skin were wearing tattered clothes. They knelt devoutly under a high platform.
A witch in white stood in front of the crowd, dancing wildly and strangely.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun discovered that these people were illusory and could not be touched at all. They were all phantoms.
They walked through the entire camp and found that there was still a vast white mist outside the camp.
Mu Hanyun asked: "Sister, is this an illusion?"
Shu Yuehen observed it carefully for a while, and then said: "This is not an illusion, it's like a movie."
"Sister, what is a movie?"
"It's a drama. A group of people perform stories on stage for the audience to watch."
Mu Hanyun became interested: "I haven't seen a big show yet!"
After the witch's dance ended, her whole body trembled, as if she was possessed by something.
She said to the people kneeling under the stage: "You can live by the lake, but you need to offer human sacrifices. Ten people every year. Do you agree? If you don't want to, leave Zuimeng Lake immediately."
A big man kneeling at the front said loudly: "We are willing! Thanks to the God of Lake for allowing us to live here."
Other people behind him also said: "We are willing!"
"Lord Lake God is merciful!"
"Thank you, Lord Lake God!"
"We finally settled down!"
Shu Yuehen said: "This seems to be the memory of the water demon!"
Mu Hanyun said: "It seems that they offered human sacrifice willingly and were not forced by others. Later, the water demon provoked the Sword Immortal because of the human sacrifice, and the whole clan was executed. There must be a lot of resentment. If the water demon did not accept it at the beginning, This group of refugees may not cause the disaster of genocide."
Shu Yuehen said: "Junior brother seems to sympathize with these water monsters."
Mu Hanyun said: "I'm just guessing what the water demon is thinking."
Refugees in ragged clothes, witches in white, messy thatched houses, and the muddy land gradually dispersed and turned into a vast white mist again.
Shu Yuehen and Mu Hanyun saw another bright light in the distance, and they continued to walk forward.
They saw the palace at the bottom of the lake, where a group of water monsters gathered. Most of them transformed into girls, and many water monsters turned into swimming fish and water plants.
A water demon who looked like a girl said: "The Blood Rain Sword asked us to donate blood food. We caught more and more fish, but the Blood Rain Sword was still not satisfied. He asked for spiritually sufficient blood food. Yesterday the Blood Rain Sword was fierce. Dafa even swallowed one of our sisters."
"What should we do?"
"Sister Xiaoya, where did this Blood Rain Sword come from? Why did it fall into Zuimeng Lake, causing us to suffer a lot."
Xiaoya said: "The Blood Rain Sword is an ancient demon sword that was suppressed by the gods under Zuimeng Lake. But later, the divine world was isolated from the human world, and the seal that suppressed the Blood Rain Sword became weaker and weaker, and the sword spirit of the Blood Rain Sword came out. He wants us demon spirits from Zuimeng Lake to offer him blood food, otherwise he will eat all our demon spirits."
"Sister Xiaoya, let's escape! The Blood Rain Sword hasn't escaped yet, otherwise it would have come out to kill us demon spirits."
Xiaoya shook her head: "No, we are demon spirits born from Zuimeng Lake. We can't live without Zuimeng Lake."
The goldfish suddenly swam down from the lake and turned into a girl: "Sister Xiaoya, suddenly many people came outside. They begged us to allow them to live around Zuimeng Lake."
Xiaoya's face was filled with joy: "Great, the human race has enough spirituality. We let these people stay, let them offer human sacrifices every year, and serve as blood food for the Blood Rain Sword. Now that the Blood Rain Sword is in peace, so will those humans. Home, it’s the best of both worlds.”
Shu Yuehen sighed: "So it turns out that the reason they want human sacrifice is for a magic sword."
Mu Hanyun said: "Actually, it was the Blood Rain Sword that harmed them, but I don't know if the Blood Rain Sword is still in Zuimeng Lake?"
Shu Yuehen said: "I have never heard that a magic sword was born in Yuezhou. Could it be that the Blood Rain Sword is still in Zuimeng Lake?"
Mu Hanyun said: "I wonder how this demonic sword will fare against our Xuantian Sword Sect's flying sword?"
Shu Yuehen said: "Don't be careless! The ancient magic sword feeds on blood, and the gods can only seal it. We'd better strengthen the seal of the Blood Rain Sword to prevent the Blood Rain Sword from being born."
Mu Hanyun said: "Our Xuantian Sword Sect is not very good at sealing."
Shu Yuehen said: "After I deal with the water demon, I will invite the other six immortal sects to see if they can continue to seal the Blood Rain Sword."
This memory is over, and there is another bright light in the distance pointing the way.
They kept walking.
This time they saw the water demon girl who reported that someone was coming.
She seems to be very curious and often peeks into the lives of human beings.
Once she took human form and went to the village fair.
She saw the various items on the market stalls which were really interesting, and she actually saw them from morning to noon.
She had been away from Zuimeng Lake for too long, and the sun was getting bigger and bigger. Her demon power was insufficient, so she turned into a fish and jumped into a water tank.
The water tank belonged to a nearby villager. The villager's son came to take a drink of water and saw the water demon turned into a small fish.
The little boy saw that the little fish was smart and cute, and he fell in love with it, so he put the little fish into a water ladle.
He took the little fish to Zuimeng Lake and released it.
"Xiaoyu, why are you in my water tank and what should I do if the cat sees it and eats it? You should live well in the lake and don't go ashore."
The little fish turned into a girl and said to the little boy: "I am not a little fish, I am the demon spirit in Zuimeng Lake. My name is Qili, what is your name?"
Qili was so beautiful that the little boy was stunned. He asked Qili to repeat the question several times before the little boy answered: "My name is Xiaoba, and I live in this village."
Qili finally said: "Xiaoba, you saved me, what do you want in return? Do you want money?"
Xiaoba was still young and didn't understand the benefits of money. He thought about it seriously and finally said: "I don't want money, I just want you to play with me often."
