After Yun Fan finished speaking, he turned around and left without stopping.
Returning to his guest room full of thoughts, Yunfan opened a book called "Detailed Explanation of Physiology" that he never left behind. He opened a page and took out the dried orchid in it. Yunfan stared closely at the orchid in his hand. The orchids, which had long since lost their freshness, were in a daze, silent for a long time.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, Qiu Death woke up from his sleep and happened to see Yun Fan holding the orchid in a daze. He recognized at a glance that this orchid was the one that blew off the cliff not long ago.
Qiushi rubbed his eyes and said doubtfully: "Didn't this orchid get blown off the cliff last time? Did you really run down and find it again!?"
Yun Fan quickly put away the orchid and said insincerely: "Don't worry about it."
Yun Fan obviously didn't want to have any further entanglement with him on this matter. After all, everyone had secrets that they didn't want to share with others. This is how Yun Fan is, and this is how he wishes to die... everyone in the world is like this!
Hearing this, Qiushi sat down in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "Prince reader, after so many years of relationship, you just let it go with the wind, why should you be so persistent."
They have been friends for many years, and Yun Fan naturally knows a thing or two about what happened back then.
Yun Fan raised his eyes and said, "If you are not persistent, how could you be seeking death all day long for this Dharma title? If you are obsessed with seeking, you will be obsessed with losing. No desire and no seeking is the Buddhist way."
"That's right!" Qiu Shi said with emotion: "Everyone has his or her own past."
After praying for death quietly, the two of them did not dwell on this topic any longer.
————
Ye Yanran took a sip of the medicine and coughed a few times. She was obviously choked by the taste of the medicine: "Wow! I have never taken such a bitter medicine."
Shen Qianxing, who was standing next to him, saw this and quickly comforted him softly: "Third Junior Sister, please be patient for a little bit. The doctor said that this medicine can help you circulate qi and activate blood. If you take a few more doses, your injury will be healed soon."
Ye Yanran has been recuperating at Qiushui Villa since she was injured by the inner demon, and is now fine.
Lin Yuqing stepped forward, put his hands on her shoulders, and said guiltily: "Senior sister, it's all my fault, I'm sorry!"
Ye Yanran turned her beautiful eyes and said lightly: "Fool, how can I blame you entirely? I am also responsible for going down the mountain privately, and I didn't tell you clearly about the demons in my heart, so you mistakenly thought that Sikong Yujiu was Murderer, after all, I am also responsible for this matter."
Song Wanxi: "No matter what, seeing that you are safe and sound now, we can finally let go of our hearts!"
Ye Yanran said: "But I never thought that Yun Fan would save me."
"Yes! Actually, we didn't expect it either." Everyone sighed when they thought of this.
"Brothers and sisters!" At this moment, a junior brother suddenly came in a hurry.
"What's going on?"
"Master said that if Third Senior Sister is okay, she will go to the quiet room with Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother to meet him."
Lin Yuqing said quickly: "What about me?"
"Master asked you to reflect on your past mistakes."
After Lin Yuqing heard this, her mood that had just improved suddenly changed 180 degrees, and her pretty face suddenly fell.
Song Wanxi: "..."
Shen Qianxing: "..."
Of course, Ye Yanran noticed Lin Yuqing's change. She quickly put Lin Yuqing's jade-white catkins in her palms and comforted her: "Junior sister, don't worry! When the master's anger subsides, I will personally intercede for you."
In the quiet room, Master and Disciple Lin Haoran, Yun Fan, Sikong Yujiu and others were all present.
This time everyone gathered together, the purpose was to find out the truth behind the murder of the inner demon.
Ye Yanran is the first person who survived the soul-catching technique after being possessed by inner demons, so no one understands the soul-catching technique better than her.
Ye Yanran walked slowly, and whispered: "Everyone wants to know what happened to me after I was poisoned by the soul-stirring technique."
Sikong Yujiu nodded slightly: "If you can tell us how you felt at that time, it might help us find a way to break the soul-obsessing technique."
Mentioning the words "soul-capturing magic", Ye Yanran instantly fell into palpitating and frightening memories: "I remember that when I was close to Meng Zhiqiu, my heart was beating very fast, as fast as if it was about to burst from my chest. It’s the same as coming out.”
Although this time has passed and she is safe and sound, she knows that this is purely a fluke. Thinking about it now still makes her shudder.
Shen Qianxing, who was standing next to him, suddenly said: "The reason why the deceased's heart burst was actually like this!"
"It should be more than that. Have you seen anything else?" Sikong Yujiu asked.
"I saw a vision." Ye Yanran whispered.
A trace of doubt flashed in Sikong Yujiu's eyes, and he quickly asked: "What illusion?"
When Ye Yanran heard this, her face suddenly changed. She seemed to be very frightened. The scene when the demon killed Meng Zhiqiu that night seemed to appear in front of her eyes. Her heart beat uncontrollably. She turned her head slightly and looked at Lin Haoran on the side was speechless for a moment. He put his hand on his chest, and there was a deep fear in his eyes that lingered for a long time.
Lin Haoran noticed something strange about her, and he understood clearly in his heart, knowing that she must still be struggling with the past, and there was still a shadow in her heart. He walked up to her slowly, stared at her firmly with eyes as clear as the spring breeze, and said in a gentle voice: "Yanran, this matter is important. If there is any situation, you might as well speak up."
Although Lin Haoran's words were soft, they were extremely powerful. They seemed to give Ye Yanran endless courage. Ye Yanran, who was in fear and panic, suddenly felt like a warm sun. She calmed down and gradually no longer feared. and fear.
Ye Yanran paused for a moment and continued: "After being exposed to the soul-stirring technique, I saw the things I least wanted to see and remembered the things I least wanted to think of... I saw a lot of rats, countless of them. mouse."
Yun Fan asked in confusion: "Why do you see mice?"
Ye Yanran glanced at him and said slowly: "Because what I'm most afraid of is mice!"
"Hahaha!" Sikong Zhenjiu laughed a few times and teased: "I really didn't expect that Miss Ye, who is not afraid of anything, would be afraid of mice?"
After hearing this, Ye Yanran quickly replied: "Isn't it ridiculous? Everyone has what they are most afraid of, and there is no exception, right?"
When Yun Fan heard this, he thought about the time when he had a face-to-face confrontation with his inner demon not long ago. He unconsciously recalled what happened when he was a child. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly became enlightened and realized: "I understand." , the soul-stirring technique will make people remember the things they fear most and don’t want to see, which will make their heart beat faster until their heart bursts and they die.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned their attention and looked at Yun Fan.
Lin Haoran paused, suppressed his excitement, slowed down his voice, and said: "Why are you so sure?!"
Yun Fan no longer held back and told everything he knew: "Brother Meng once told me that the most regretful thing in his life was that he killed his own son with his own hands. After that, the scene of killing his son kept appearing in front of his eyes. I believe that Yang Sufei was in the same situation before his death.
"Yes! The same was true for senior Qin Shangwu before his death." Every detail of Qin Shangwu's death was still before Ye Yanran's eyes. Recalling it again at this moment, she suddenly felt that what Yun Fan said was very reasonable, so she also added something.
After all, she almost died at the hands of Qin Shangwu who was in a state of madness. No one knew better than her what happened after Qin Shangwu performed the soul-stirring technique in his body. Now that she thinks about it, she still has lingering fears.
Sikong Yujiu had been listening to their narration quietly and carefully. After Ye Yanran finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "I believe this is the reason why the soul-stirring technique can make people fatal."
"If that's the case, then why is the third junior sister okay?" Shen Qianxing touched his chin and asked curiously
This is actually a question that everyone wants to know.
Lin Haoran quickly explained: "Because Yanran is kind-hearted and has never done anything bad, so her vision only saw a lot of rats, and the power of the soul-stirring method was naturally greatly reduced on her."
"But is there any way to crack it?" Song Wanxi asked.
Yun Fan's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said slowly: "As long as illusions are not allowed to occur, we will naturally have a chance to deal with the inner demons."
Sikong Yujiu, who was on the side, shook his head slightly and said: "It is not easy to stop the illusion. But now we finally have some clues about it."
Lin Haoran nodded lightly, turned his gaze to Song Wanxi, and then instructed: "Wanxi, before you find a way to deal with the inner demons, you'd better stay in the villa to take precautions and wait until the other factions After all the heads are here, we will make a long-term plan."
"Yes, master." Song Wanxi responded.
Because this time the [Battle to Seize the Seal] between the good and the evil paths, Song Wanxi is one of the five masters selected by the right path, and is also the target of the inner demons this time, so there is no room for error. This, as Lin Haoran, leader of the Righteous Alliance, understands better than anyone else.
Ye Yanran stepped forward slowly and said to Lin Haoran: "Master, the situation is extremely urgent right now. We must send more people to guard the villa."
Lin Haoran nodded and said no more.
At this time, everyone only heard a "creak" sound. The door of the quiet room was opened from the outside, and a woman in red stepped in. It was Lin Yuqing who was thinking about the past on the cliff.
"father!"
"Yu Qing, why are you here?" Lin Haoran asked.
Lin Yuqing whispered: "I met the death-seeking master at Siguo Cliff. He kept annoying me and made it impossible for me to think about my past."
