The moon was dark, the wind was high, and the rain was pouring.
Lu Ying squatted under the courtyard wall and bit her hands. She was soaked all over, and her face was shivering, not knowing whether it was rain or tears.
squeak - ah -
The sound of the door opening echoed in the rain and was bone-piercing.
Lu Ying suddenly stood up and turned around, staggering to support the wall, and saw Jiang Yue with a bloodless face, standing under the eaves, holding a straw doll in her hand.
Lu Ying backed away in fear, her mouth slightly opened and her chin trembling, and it took a long time before a sound came out of her throat.
"Who are you?"
Jiang Yuebai curled her lips weakly, "I am the little Bai who goes down to the river to catch fish with you and goes up the mountain to hunt birds."
The straw doll was thrown to her feet, Lu Ying collapsed on her knees, her shoulders shook violently, and she couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"noob……"
All the suppressed pain, fear and helplessness of the past five years were vented at this moment, under this heavy rain.
Jiang Yuebai stepped into the rain, staggered towards Lu Ying, and hugged her hard into his arms.
"Okay, okay, it's all over. It's okay. Nothing will happen again..."
Lu Ying also hugged Jiang Yuebai tightly, crying and murmuring.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bastard, I'm sorry..."
Outside the forest, the doves are singing and the spring rain has stopped, and the apricot blossoms are blooming on the roof of the house in the early morning.
In Tao Fengnian's old house, Jiang Yuebai covered Lu Ying with a quilt, walked out quietly, closed the door, and sat alone at the stone table in the courtyard.
After taking the antidote, the remaining poison in his body was cleared. When Jiang Yuebai recalled the previous situation, the gap between his eyebrows gradually deepened.
The little green flew out from the sea of consciousness, left and right, and finally settled in front of him.
[Don't worry]
Jiang Yuebai smiled bitterly, "I'm not worried. Even if you weren't guarding the sea of consciousness, since the incident of hitting Ye Shiming, I have been inscribing the 'soul-solidifying' rune with my consciousness every day, Song Pei'er's soul will not be taken away so easily. I."
"I just feel sorry for Lu Ying. She has had a much harder time than me in these years. Every bit of progress is not a joy but a reminder. No wonder she cried so helplessly when we reunited."
"And Song Pei'er. I never thought she was such a vicious and greedy person before. Do you know that she was the first person who was nice to me in the Huaxi Valley? At that time, my grandfather ignored me with a black face. She was because of me. "My fairy sister gave me the red cherry fruit to eat."
"That's why I always thought she was a good person. Even if my grandfather was alienated from her, I never took it to heart. I'm thinking now, what does this road to immortality give us? Is it a glimmer of hope for immortality? , or do you want to destroy your humanity in order to survive?”
The phosphorus fire flickered all over Xiao Lu's body, and the writing on the lantern changed.
[don't know]
Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and murmured, "I don't understand... I just can't help but wonder, without Shouyuan's oppression, would Song Pei'er be the same as before? It's wrong for her to hurt others in order to survive, but I can't I can’t help but think, if grandpa could be like her and seize someone’s body, as long as it’s not me but Jia Wei or some other evil person, I would be happy.”
"After all, when things happen to others, I can judge right and wrong at will, and use my righteousness to overwhelm others. But if it happens to me, I can't be upright. I also have selfish and vicious thoughts."
"I don't want to think about it anymore. There will never be answers to these questions, and it's useless to think about them. I just need to remember that I should never let myself fall into Song Pei'er's situation. I should never be prejudicial and misunderstand people."
Xiaolu shook his head and returned to the sea of consciousness.
Jiang Yuebai took out the two storage bags found on Song Pei'er. Her soul was directly swallowed by Xiao Lu before blending with his own, so she had no memory of Song Pei'er and could not inherit anything like Ye Shiming did at that time.
She had already summoned Hong Tao and asked him to help deal with the death of Song Pei'er.
Song Pei'er has been seriously injured for a long time, and her end is approaching. Guo Zhen can all testify, so she only needs to record the normal death.
"I haven't repaid my kindness yet, so I'm in trouble with Uncle Hong again."
Jiang Yuebai sighed and opened the storage bag that Song Pei'er hung on her waist. There were more than a hundred low-grade spiritual stones, a dozen talismans and elixirs and other things needed for daily practice, as well as two farming instruments and farming equipment. Spell Jade Slips.
Jiang Yuebai picked up another storage bag. This storage bag was hidden by Song Pei'er in the lapel. She poured all the things on the table. She first saw a token made of black crystal stone, with three blood letters written on it. Character.
"Three Yuan Cult?"
There were not many things in the storage bag, including tokens, two jade slips, an evil black flag, and three blood-stained iron nails.
Jiang Yuebai looked at the jade slips, and one of them contained the sacrificial method for two things.
The black flag is called the "Seven Demonic Banners", which can imprison seven evil ghosts, sacrifice them with the energy of the Earthly Evil Spirit, and eat human souls. During the fight, the seven evil ghosts will release the energy of the Earthly Evil Spirit, which is huge and unstoppable.
The jade slip states that there are seven evil ghosts in custody, and the grade of the magic weapon can reach the upper level of seventh grade. There are indeed seven evil ghosts inside at this time.
"Fortunately, I showed my obedience before and avoided a fierce battle."
The blood-stained iron nail is called the "Black Dog Nail". It is a disposable magic weapon. When it is activated, it will erupt into bloody needles as thin as cow hair.
Jiang Yuebai frowned, picked up another jade slip and put it between his eyebrows.
"The art of seizing a body and... shooting a puppet?"
The more Jiang Yuebai read, the more frightened she became. The description of the seizure of the body was extremely detailed. She read it over and focused on the word 'soul'.
The so-called seizing one's body means abandoning one's own body, devouring and fusing other people's souls to occupy other people's bodies.
Seizing a person's home is against the laws of heaven. Sooner or later, he will be punished by heaven. There are records throughout the ages that those who seize a person's home will not end well.
It's just that it has never been discovered, and no one knows whether the seizure will last until the end, so this way is still a way to survive in a desperate situation.
Because Seizing the Body is fused with the soul of the original owner, there will be almost no flaws after success, but the Soul Retention is different.
Hosting a soul is when another person's soul resides in an empty body without an owner, and the requirements are more stringent than taking possession of a body.
It must be a newly deceased corpse with compatible fates, it must be brought to the body by a blood relative, and half of one's lifespan must be sacrificed.
There is no memory of the original body after the soul is transferred, and the longevity is only half of that of the blood relatives who sacrificed it, and it requires years of integration and adaptation before it can be like a new life.
Jiang Yuebai put down the jade slip, "So now Lin Suiwan and Shen Huaixi are blood relatives, and they share Shen Huaixi's longevity equally."
No matter what Shen Huaixi's reason was, his courage to sacrifice half of his life shocked and admired Jiang Yuebai.
The remaining part of the "Puppet Shooting Technique" in the jade slip is Song Pei'er's method of making a straw doll to control Lu Ying. The straw doll contains the essence and blood of Lu Ying's eyebrows, which is connected to her soul and is equivalent to a fake body.
Any damage suffered by the fake body can be transferred to the real body, and special methods are required to break it.
"Who is Song Pei'er?"
Jiang Yuebai looked at the tokens and evil magic weapons on the table, becoming more and more unfamiliar with this person, as if he had never known her before.
Looking back at the closed door, Jiang Yuebai refined the seven evil spirits from the Seven Evil Banners into the eight array plates. As long as they were souls, they could be transformed into the array soldiers, and she could still control seven of them.
With these seven formation soldiers, the maze formation in the eight formation plate has a certain lethality.
After that, she carefully put away the rest of the things. Song Pei'er and Lu Ying had a close relationship. If these things were exposed, Lu Ying would be censored.
Maybe Guo Zhen and Shi Xiaowu will not be immune. Huaxi Valley is in troubled times and no one can take advantage of them.
She acted more cautiously this time than last time. She burned Song Pei'er's body and everything in the cellar three times, leaving no trace behind.
From now on, if someone kills someone, their body will be burned. She will never let a situation like Lin Suiwan happen again, which only adds to trouble.
After the review, no omissions were found. Jiang Yuebai took the jade slip and carefully examined the 'Art of Shooting Puppets'.
If one could get a drop of Jia Xiuchun's eyebrow essence blood to make a shooting puppet, revenge would be much easier, but Lin Xiangtian couldn't do it. The gap in cultivation was too great, making the shooting puppet useless.
However, there is also a kind of puppet shooting. You only need to tie the straw puppet with hair, write the birth date and birth date with its blood, and bury it in a dirty place with a special magic circle. It can damage people's luck and make them unlucky. The longer the time, the more effective good.
"The methods of the world of cultivation are really hard to guard against. I will never celebrate my birthday again, and this hair... the monk is really good."
Lu Ying needed a good rest to recover. Jiang Yuebai decided to stay here with her for the time being. Going to Tiangang Peak to break the formation could only be postponed again.
Jiang Yuebai didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that he was not destined to Tiangang Peak.
But she still had to learn the formations. She needed to be familiar with the formations to make alchemy and weapons, and she also needed to be proficient in the formations to explore the cave. Even in this Huaxi Valley, various large formations would be indispensable in the future.
Finishing work began on the mountainside mansion, and demolition of the Taniguchi Village began.
Jiang Yuebai stayed at home, taking Peiyuan Dan to practice in the small courtyard every day, practicing "Vajra Baking Furnace Technique", learning formation and alchemy, making skylark puppets to relax his mind when he was free, and he had a full schedule of practice.
Since that day, Lu Ying has stayed in the house and has not spoken to Jiang Yuebai.
Every time Jiang Yuebai went to deliver food, she would lean against the window and look at the sky in trance.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Lu Ying finally came out and told Jiang Yuebai, who was playing with the skylark puppet in the courtyard, her carefully considered plan.
"I want to leave Tianyan Sect and see a wider world."
