The Vermilion Bird carefully recalled the conversation he had with the Ghost King that day…
You Ji, who was waiting in the sacred hall, saw the two of them come in. She hurried forward and bowed to the Ghost King,"" Sect Master..." Glancing at Mr. Ghost who was beside the Ghost King, he swallowed his words and handed the Ghost King a dark green bug. It looked like a cicada, but it was much smaller. He held it in his hand without moving, as if he had died a long time ago. However, if he had died, there was no trace of decay and stench, which was extremely strange.
Ghost King took the strange bug from You Ji's hand. His face changed slightly and he frowned. He looked at You Ji and then at Mr. Ghost. He said to You Ji,""Mr. Ghost is a member of my sacred cult and is also on good terms with me.”Mr. Ghost's entire body was shrouded in a ball of black, and he did not move at all.
You Ji saw the Ghost King's reaction and said,""Sect Master, Second Brother Bai found Big Brother's 'Voice-Transmitting Sandfly' in a barren mountain in the southern border, but couldn't find any trace of Big Brother. Second Brother felt that the situation was serious, so he personally came to the Divine Temple to report to Sect Master.”
Ghost King nodded. He didn't say anything. He held the Voice-Transmitting Sandfly in his hand and looked at it for a while. Then, he suddenly held it in his hand and said to You Ji," Let's go see Brother Bai now."”Then, he turned to Mr. Ghost and said,"Please follow me to take a look. Brother Long may have some problems."”
Mr. Ghost nodded. The black veil covering his face shook, and he asked,""This is the secret communication treasure of the sacred cult, the Voice-Transmitting Sandfly, which is only used in times of danger?”The Ghost King smiled bitterly."That's right. As long as this thing is activated, the nearest green sandfly will react and notify its master. It can also sense the general location of the green sandfly that sent the signal. There are only four of them in the world, and they are all in the hands of the four messengers. They are used to send messages in emergencies. They have not been used for more than a hundred years. This time, Brother Dragon is using them. I'm afraid it's really dangerous.”
Hearing Ghost King's words, the worry in You Ji's eyes deepened. She silently turned around and led Ghost King to the back hall. Mr. Ghost's face behind the black veil was still expressionless, but his voice was calm as usual. He comforted the Ghost King,"Sect Master, you don't have to worry too much. The Azure Dragon Envoy's cultivation is profound, so it shouldn't be a big deal.”Ghost King smiled faintly. A light flashed in his eyes under his white hair. He followed You Ji to the back hall with his hands behind his back.
A person was already waiting in the back hall of the temple.
The Ghost King and the others entered the back hall and took their seats after greeting each other. Mr. Ghost and White Tiger had known each other for a long time, but this was the first time they had met. They couldn't help but size each other up. The Ghost King didn't seem to mind. He sat down on the chair and looked at everyone. He raised the Voice-Transmitting Sandfly in his hand and asked the White Tiger,""Brother Bai, please tell us the details of how you found this item."
The white tiger cupped his hands and said,""Sect Master, I received Qingying's message a few months ago. She told me that she was dead, so I didn't dare to delay. I immediately led people to search in the direction Qingying had given me. After searching for a long time, I finally found this Qingying in a forest in the southern border. After identifying it, I recognized that it was the Qingying that Big Brother had brought. Big Brother used the 'Qingying Soul Separation' technique to send a message and then sealed Qingying underground. Therefore, it was difficult to find the direction Qingying had given me. It took me a long time to find it. I sent people to search the nearby mountains for a long time, but I found nothing. I didn't find any traces of big brother. Qingying told me about the death of my brother. I was worried that something would happen to my brother and didn't know how to make a decision, so I came back to ask the sect to make a decision.”
The Ghost King nodded and pondered for a moment before saying," Brother Long indeed went to the southern border to return the Great Shaman's ashes. There has been no news of him yet. I didn't expect such an accident to happen." Besides the green sandflies, there was no trace of them. This was not Brother Long's usual style.”
You Ji interrupted," The first message that Big Brother left in the sandfly was 'The demon beasts are difficult to defeat, and Jin Ping' er is deceitful'. The first sentence probably said that he was trapped by the demon beasts, but the second sentence was 'Jin Ping' er is deceitful'. It's really confusing.”
White Tiger's eyes flashed with a fierce light. The golden ring on his arm glowed with a faint golden light. He looked at You Ji and said,""I don't understand. With big brother's cultivation, even if he can't win, it's difficult for him to escape when he's trapped by a demon beast. He even wanted to use the green sandfly to send a warning of his death. Could it be that Jin Ping 'er was trying to frame him again?”
The Ghost King looked at the white tiger and shook his head slightly."Brother Bai, you don't know that there's nothing to fear from demonic beasts. However, although we don't know the origin of the monster that's leading the demonic beasts, its cultivation is profound and unfathomable.”His voice was faint, as if he had returned to the days when he led the Ghost King Sect to snipe demon beasts. "As for Jin Ping 'er, let's secretly investigate her.”
Mr. Ghost suddenly said," The Beast God suffered a great loss at the Green Cloud Mountain. The Deputy Sect Master has gone to the southern border to look for him. There should be news soon. Perhaps there will be news of the Azure Dragon Envoy."”
The Ghost King didn't say anything. He kept playing with the green sandfly in his hand. His eyes left the crowd and looked indifferently at the door. Outside the door was the boundless night of the northwest wilderness.
On the other hand, the Azure Dragon met the Beast Deity by chance that day…
The youth glanced at Azure Dragon and suddenly said,""That woman just now was your companion, right? She knew that Tao Tie was hiding in the air, but she deliberately let you be the bait to lure Tao Tie down and then escape.”
Azure Dragon is secretly on guard, but he says with a smile,"I was tricked by her because I was incompetent. I can't blame anyone!”The young man looked at him again and nodded."In that case, you can die."
Before he finished speaking, he didn't seem to make any movements, but the White Bone Demonic Snake that had been lurking behind the Azure Dragon suddenly opened its huge mouth and swallowed down as if it had received an order.
Azure Dragon had been on guard. Although the White Bone Demonic Snake suddenly attacked, he didn't panic. Instead of retreating, he charged straight at the White Bone Demonic Snake, which gave the snake monster a fright.
While the snake demon was still in a daze, Azure Dragon had already rushed to the snake demon's body. His body flashed and dodged the poisonous gas that the angry snake demon spat out. He kicked the snake demon's white bones and forcefully kicked the snake demon's huge body three feet forward. At the same time, he used the momentum to soar into the sky. A clear light shone in his hand and instantly set up six light walls in the direction of Tao Tie.
Among the two beasts and one person, the one he feared the most was still the youth who had not made a move.
The White-bone Demonic Snake roared again and again, but it was too late to catch up. Just as the Azure Dragon was about to fly into the sky and escape the trap, it suddenly felt a grip on its foot. Its soaring body was caught by a hand. A moment later, a deep laughter came from below. A strong force came from that hand. The Azure Dragon felt as if his body was burning with fire. His body shook violently and he was thrown out involuntarily by this hand.
In the air, his body floated. Along with the sound of the branches breaking, the Azure Dragon's body was thrown into the forest again.
In the forest, the roars of countless demon beasts sounded again.
In midair, the youth closed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky. A breeze blew past, causing his bright silk clothes to flutter.
In the distance, there seemed to be the roars of ferocious beasts…
The Vermilion Bird's heart sank when he thought of the Azure Dragon.
The few of them remained silent for a moment. After a while, the Vermilion Bird slowly said,"I'm going to see Zhang Xiaofan. Mo, help Liu back to rest.”After saying that, he walked towards the stone room without looking back.
The Vermilion Bird's figure slowly blurred. The White Tiger sighed. Let's go, Black Tortoise. Other than Big Brother Azure Dragon, no one could persuade Fourth Sister.
The Black Tortoise supported the white tiger and left…
A man was kneeling on the ground in the stone room. He looked gloomy. He could vaguely hear the sound of water dripping. If he listened carefully, he could hear the clear sound of tears splashing on the ground. The man was silent. A green rod that was flashing with red light lay quietly on the ground, emitting a faint red light.
The footsteps gradually approached. The man moved slightly but did not get up.
A figure slowly appeared. It was close to the stone coffin but did not approach it. It looked at the man and stood there for a long time.
The restless molecules in the air were no longer dancing, and the surroundings fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the black-veiled woman whispered,""You came to see Biyao. It's good that you're back. Biyao doesn't want you to be like this even if you're still here. The sect master has handed the sacred cult to you, and the four of us siblings will do our best to help you.”
"Should I call you Zhang Xiaofan or Gui Li?”The Vermilion Bird suddenly raised her voice as if she was asking a question.
Zhang Xiaofan moved his body but didn't answer.
"You've changed so much. Are you still the Zhang Xiaofan that Biyao loves? I know about you and Lu Xueqi. I don't blame you. She's also a woman with a bitter life. Why was Jin Ping 'er willing to come back to help you? When was Young Master Miao so understanding and devoted to the Saint? You still think I'm Youyi? Tell me, what kind of logic is this?”
At the mention of Lu Xueqi, her heart ached inexplicably. Worry and resentment flashed past her eyes, and a loving light flashed in her eyes as she recalled the incident in the Swamp of Death that day...
Azure Dragon's eyes flashed with worry. You Ji, who was beside him, had a black veil over her face, so he couldn't see her expression. However, she didn't look very relaxed either. You Ji's gaze passed through the black veil and scanned Gui Li and Gui Wang. Then, she glanced into the distance and was startled. She saw Lu Xueqi standing silently at the back of the four righteous cultivators. Her face was cold, but her eyes were fixed on Gui Li.
There seemed to be a faint concern hidden under that frosty face.
You Ji suddenly reached out and pushed Azure Dragon.
Azure Dragon was still a little worried when he suddenly sensed something. He turned around and looked at You Ji. You Ji's black veil was swaying slightly as she moved toward the Ghost King. He and You Ji were among the four saint emissaries of the Ghost King Sect, so how could he not know what she was thinking? However, he was still worried.
After pondering for a moment, Azure Dragon finally walked behind the Ghost King and whispered,"Sect Master, what Gui Li said is not without reason. Now that the yellow bird has already surrendered, we should first settle it down. Otherwise, with the people of the Myriad Poison and Joyous Union sects in the Death Swamp, there might be a change if we delay.”
The Ghost King turned around and looked at the Azure Dragon. He slowly nodded and said,"You're right." Then, his eyes flashed with a faint light as he said to Gui Li," Since that's the case, I'll leave this place to you.”
"Don't worry." Gui Li nodded silently.”
The Ghost King looked at him again, smiled, and turned to leave. Behind him, Azure Dragon smiled at Gui Li before following after him.
You Ji walked up slowly. When she passed by Gui Li, he looked at her and nodded.
You Ji's black veil swayed slightly, but she didn't say anything and just walked over.
"I have never done anything wrong to Biyao. I will not leave the Ghost King Sect. Jin Ping 'er is smart and I trust her. Biyao still has hope of resurrection. When everything is settled, I will save her…"
Hearing that there was still hope for Bi Yao's resurrection, You Ji's body trembled and her voice was a little hoarse.""Are you saying that Yao 'Er will wake up?”
Zhang Xiaofan nodded vigorously and slowly told her what happened that day.
After a long while, You Ji asked,"What do you plan to tell Lu Xueqi after Biyao wakes up?"?”
"I don't know." Zhang Xiaofan mumbled as he scratched his head with a silly look on his face. He wasn't the same ghost that everyone was afraid of. Perhaps, only at this moment was he truly a man of flesh and blood.
"Xue Qi has suffered a lot. I have to give her an explanation. Otherwise, I'll live in guilt for the rest of my life. Tell me, Aunt Youyou, tell me what I should do?”Zhang Xiaofan's voice was hoarse as he looked at You Ji in a daze.
You Ji couldn't bear it anymore. She whispered," The Sect Master knows about you and Lu Xueqi. He didn't say anything. Even someone as talented as the Sect Master doesn't know about it. You can deal with your relationship yourself. No one can help you."”
Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and gradually calmed down, as if he was thinking about You Ji's words.
The Vermilion Bird recalled the conversation with the Ghost King…
The Ghost King suddenly said," I heard that when Gui Li was in the Dead Swamp, he met with those people from the righteous path. Especially when he met a Green Cloud disciple called Lu Xueqi, his situation was a little strange. Is that true?”
You Ji's body trembled. She saw that the Ghost King's face was indifferent. She couldn't tell what he was thinking. However, she didn't know why her heart was in a mess. She and Azure Dragon had sneaked into the Death Marsh. There was a subtle relationship between Gui Li and Lu Xueqi, and she had seen most of it in the dark. However, when she thought about it now, she felt an inexplicable heartache.
It was like a sharp needle piercing into his heart.
"What's wrong?" Ghost King turned around and looked at You Ji.
You Ji lowered her head slowly. No one could see her expression because of her black veil. A moment later, her voice seemed to be a little hoarse for some reason, but it was still very clear and cold as she replied to the Ghost King,
"Yes, there's indeed something going on between him and Lu Xueqi of the Qingyun Sect. I saw with my own eyes that he risked his life to save that woman outside the Celestial Thearch's treasury when he was facing the Blackwater Mystical Snake!”
The Ghost King didn't say anything else, but in just a moment, the bloody smell in the surroundings suddenly became ten times or a hundred times stronger. The man was still standing with his hands behind his back, but perhaps it was because of the red light under the rock cave that the red light in his eyes suddenly became brighter.
You Ji bowed to the Ghost King and walked out of the cave.
However, just as she reached the stone door, she was suddenly stunned. The Azure Dragon stood quietly outside the stone door and looked at her indifferently.
You Ji met his gaze. The two of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.
After a long while, Azure Dragon slowly walked forward and brushed past her, walking into the depths of the cave, leaving You Ji alone in the tunnel.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to You Ji…
The night had also quietly fallen asleep. Outside the Ghost King Sect, a white-robed woman stood facing the wind. Her voice echoed in Hu Qi Mountain for a long time.
"Is he Zhang Xiaofan or Gui Li?”
"Little Chi, do you think I did something wrong? I shouldn't have sent that baby girl to the Qingyun Sect's Master Shuiyue. Your Yao 'er will wake up soon. That woman is also a person with a bitter life.”
There was helplessness, bitterness, and endless bitterness in his laughter…
It echoed in Hu Qi Mountain for a long time…
Perhaps only the legendary gods would be so carefree?
Heaven and earth were heartless, and all living things were like straw dogs.
Why did people live in such pain…
