The door closed. The child didn't respond, and Jian Benfen didn't know if he heard her. He took the porridge out and placed it in a basin filled with cold water to cool it down. He knocked on the door and said,"Guo 'er, the porridge is ready." Do you want to eat inside or outside?"
Hearing Jian Fusheng's voice, Yang Guo's eyes lit up and she hurriedly replied: "Inside. I'm hungry and have no strength."
Jian Benfen smiled and picked up the cold porridge on a tray without looking at the other two people in the room. He sat down beside the bed to feed Yang Guo porridge.
"Is it good?" Jian Fusheng wiped the water from the corner of Yang Guo's mouth and asked.
"The porridge that Fengfen cooks is the best porridge in the world.”Yang Guo obediently swallowed the porridge in her mouth and gave a big smile.
Qin Feng, who had just been promoted to master, shook his head, indicating that he couldn't bear to watch.
"Cherry, Auntie He and I will be leaving first. We'll be staying at the Central Hotel not far from the crossroad for the next few days.”
"Central Hotel? Was it the one with the air corridor connecting to the KTV hall next door?”Yang Guo thought of her experience that night and couldn't help but bare her teeth.
"Yeah, that hotel in Lingwu County has the best facilities. Other than that, where else?”Qin Feng glanced at it and didn't find anything wrong.
Yang Guo opened her mouth, wanting to say that the space that overlapped with the netherworld was a ghost nest. However, he thought that his master should not be afraid, so he did not say anything.
Wang Xiao stood at the entrance of the Ji Corporation. A black Lincoln limousine stopped at the entrance, and Ji Meihe, who was wearing an exquisite white doll dress, got out of the car surrounded by a crowd.
"I want to talk to you." Wang Xiao said.
"Sure," Ji Meihe waved her hand to dismiss the people around her. She raised her delicate face and acted normally, but the cowardice she had before was completely gone.
"Were you the one who plotted that day?" Wang Xiao looked at Ji Meihe coldly.
"Yes." Ji Meihe looked at Wang Xiao with confusion." Isn't this what you want?" Why, your sister didn't die?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Wang Xiao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"But that's what you said in your heart! You hate her." " I believe what I see," Ji Meihe said confidently.”
Wang Xiao looked at Ji Meihe's innocent eyes. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know where to start. After a moment of silence, he said," The human heart is complicated and ever-changing. You can't always know what the other party is thinking."”
Ji Meihe was obviously disdainful of Wang Xiao's opinion. She sneered,"If I can't understand it now, I can read it a few more times. However, it cannot be denied that your thoughts at that time were real.”
"You can't use this method to scheme against others.”Wang Xiao felt powerless.
"Why not? Isn't the Ji Corporation firmly in my hands? I know exactly what those people are thinking. No one can lie to me." The corners of Ji Meihe's mouth curled up slightly, clearly very pleased with herself.
Wang Xiao wiped his face and asked,"Who was with you that day?"”
"I'm sorry, the cooperation between him and me has been completed. I won't betray him."
"Then do you know that Dark Night is already dead?”
"I don't know, but so what?”Ji Meihe looked at Wang Xiao impatiently. "Any other questions? If not, I'll be leaving.”
Wang Xiao looked at Ji Meihe's back as she left, his eyes filled with confusion.
"I've crossed thousands of mountains, and the road is endless. "Right and wrong are in the past." The phone in his pocket rang. Wang Xiao reacted for a while before remembering that it was the ringtone that Yang Guo had changed for him not long ago.
"Hey, Pin 'er, why haven't you replied yet?”It was Yang Guo's soft and cute voice on the phone.
"I'm in the city. I'll go back later. By the way, what do you want to eat? I'll bring some back.”Wang Xiao's voice was a little low, like the nasal sound of a cold.
"Pin 'er, hurry up and go home. At night, they cooked hotpot, and Yingzi wanted to come over.”Laughter came from the other end of the electric arc. From the sound of it, Jian Luoying should have come over from school.
"I won't say anymore. Go back immediately!”The call ended. The lively frolicking also disappeared.
Wang Xiao stared at the phone and replied in a low voice,""Sister, I'll go home immediately. Remember to wait for me!"
In the end, the hotpot in the evening became a clear soup hotpot despite Jian Luoying's wailing. Yang Guo ate Jian's mutton slices and laughed. From time to time, Yang Guo would throw a few vegetables and mushrooms into Wang Xiao's bowl. They chatted about the gossip in the school forum and the small matter of the teacher's wig falling off. It was noisy but warm.
After dinner, Jian Fusheng sent Jian Luoying home. At the door of the house, Jian Luoying asked teasingly,""Guo Zi, your body has recovered. Are you still going to stay at her house? Mom and Dad have asked you several times.”
Jian Binfen handed Jian Luoying's bag to her with the same expression." No." I'll call them later. I need to leave for a few days.”
"What do you mean?" Jian Luoying didn't understand.
" Cough," Jian Binfeng adjusted his glasses and replied uncomfortably,""I went to the supermarket to buy groceries today and met Old Ban.”
"So?" Jian Luoying looked at her brother's feet. Had he been exposed?
"That's why I'm going to the provincial physics competition tomorrow.”
"Haha, haha!" This time, Jian Luoying really wanted to cry from laughing. She did not expect her handsome and outstanding brother to have such an awkward moment. She could already imagine the look on Old Ban's face when he saw his brother.
Yang Guo still didn't return to school the next day. Her master personally called the principal and asked for a week's leave. As the pillar of the largest district, Qin Feng was still quite busy. Moreover, the night of the full moon was approaching, so he had no choice but to rush back to the capital. They didn't stay here for too long. Therefore, he prepared a week of devilish training and planned to pass all the knowledge to his disciple.
"So the Earth Core Chaotic Pool is the birthplace of all human souls? Everyone's soul was the same. Even if they died, they would have to wait for 100 years before they could enter the Rebirth Pool to wash away their emotions and desires. Then, they would go to the chaotic pool at the core of the earth to wait for reincarnation.”Yang Guo listened until her head swelled. Even though she had seen a lot these days, it was not to the point of shattering her entire worldview.
"It's like this. There's a problem with the Earth Core Chaotic Pool. It won't accept the souls from the Rebirth Pool anymore, and it won't produce new soul origins. Humans were facing the problem of insufficient soul origin.”
"But Uncle Qin, we still have a large number of newborns every year. What happened to their souls?"
"This is about the underworld that controls the Rebirth Pool. Back then, the previous Yin Si Supremacy had joined forces with hundreds of Yin Si envoys and used his soul origin to construct a net at the price of his soul dissipating, splitting the Rebirth Pool into two. After a human's soul entered the Rebirth Pool, it had to be filtered through the net again and washed repeatedly before it could be reincarnated. But after all, the Rebirth Pool wasn't like the Earth Core Chaotic Pool. Those corrupted souls had more or less polluted the other half of the pool. These souls that were tainted with filth often became sick after reincarnation. This was also the root cause of the widespread infectious diseases in humans in recent years.”
Yang Guo thought of the various large-scale infectious diseases that had appeared in recent years. She frowned." So no one has found a way to completely solve it?”
Qin Feng glanced at his disciple and sneered."They want to now! However, he didn't think about who destroyed the Earth Core Chaotic Pool in order to live forever. What could he do now? Moreover, these souls had a hundred years of lifespan and were still greedy. They deserved it!”
Yang Guo opened her mouth, originally wanting to ask her master why the human pillar's soul would scatter after it died. Seeing Qin Feng's cynical look, he thought about it and decided to forget it.
"Then Master, according to what you said. The eight World Rocks circulated by absorbing the energy of the chaotic pool. The Yang Emissary and the Yin Emissary cultivated their soul power through communicating with the four Yang Stones and the four Yin Stones respectively. Then how can I cultivate?"
Yang Guo was very curious. She had seen Wang Xiao draw talismans. At that time, she felt that it was very difficult to communicate with the power of Yang Stones. Sometimes, she even needed to borrow the blood of pure Yang. However, that night, when she drew the talisman for the ghost, it was very easy. It was as if she could achieve what she wanted with just a thought. There was no need to go through the trouble of drawing talismans.
Thinking of this, Yang Guo picked up a pen and drew a talisman on the paper that she had drawn on the ghost head that pointed the way. She showed it to Qin Feng,"Master, what talisman is this?"”
Qin Feng took the paper and looked at the messy scribbles on it. He reprimanded,"Who told you this was a charm?"
Yang Guo blinked her big black and white eyes, thinking to herself that this was actually not a talisman? When she was young, she saw her grandmother use this symbol to ferret ghosts! Could it be that Grandma was drawing?
Qin Feng took a closer look and pointed at the talisman."This looks like a charm commonly used by ghost witches in Xiangxi. But this, this was clearly a mistake.”
Hearing Xiangxi, Yang Guo's eyes lit up and asked,"Then, Master, do the witches in Xiangxi know how to draw talismans?”
"Not all. The Sorcerer Tribe on their side was divided into several factions. Among them, the Ghost Witch Clan, which people heard the most about, could draw talismans. They used talismans and Soul-drawing Bells to guide corpses back home. There was also one that he had heard of before, which was a medical witch who treated people. They used herbs and insects to treat people, and sometimes they would play with Gu worms.”
Yang Guo thought of her grandmother always taking her up the mountain to pick herbs and catch insects. She couldn't help but guess that Grandma was from the Witch Doctor Clan.
"As for the question you asked me earlier, what do you rely on to cultivate? Of course, it's the same as our Human Pillars, relying on the soul source to cultivate.”
"Soul Origin? But Master, didn't you say that everyone's soul source is fixed? If we use our ability, won't our soul source be reduced?”Yang Guo asked curiously.
"Hmph, if you become a human pillar, your soul will be scattered. What's wrong with using the soul source to cultivate? If he didn't use it now, did he still want to keep it for his next life?”The corners of Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, his expression filled with contempt.
Yang Guo bit her lips and braced herself to ask,"Master, are you saying that I am also a human pillar?"
"Of course! A fake human pillar is also a human pillar." Qin Feng glanced at Yang Guo and said affirmatively.
"Alright, Qin Feng, stop teasing Cherry.”He Zhiyu laughed as she watched Qin Feng tease Yang Guo.
Qin Feng snorted arrogantly and lowered his head to drink his tea.
He Zhiyu handed a cup of tea to Yang Guo and explained,""What your master means is that you cultivate the soul origin like us, so you're one of us in the human pillar. However, the difference was that you didn't have the corresponding two World Stones, so you didn't have the authority to govern the area. However, he did not have to endure the pain of being eroded by the Yin and Yang Qi every month, and his soul would not dissipate after death.”
"The Yin Yang Devouring Qi is so harmful to the human pillar?”Yang Guo was surprised.
"Yes." He Zhiyu lowered her eyes and sank into sorrow." Back then, the World Stones were in chaos. The Yin and Yang dimensions were in chaos and overlapped. Ghosts and ghosts roamed the world. At this moment, the human pillars appeared in disorder. They were all born in the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day. Their bodies possessed the Yang qi of living people at the same time, and because they were born in the Yin time, they easily attracted Yin qi. Therefore, it became the best transit point for Yin and Yang Qi. Every time there was a riot, the Yin Yang Qi produced by the two corresponding Yin Yang Boundary Stones would converge and fight in the human pillar's body. The devouring Qi produced would corrode the human pillar's soul origin. In the end, the human pillar ended up with its soul scattered.”
"What's even more abominable is that those people from Yangsi actually captured people to study because of the uniqueness of the human pillar. They kept the human pillars like pigs for research. If it wasn't for your father's research on the method to change the human pillar constitution, we wouldn't even be able to cultivate now.”Qin Feng gritted his teeth at the mention of Yangsi.
"Are there many human pillars like you?”
"Not many. Every two corresponding World Stones will produce a human pillar. Apart from the thirteenth pillar that we don't know much about, we have a total of twelve pillars, each of which has a different innate talent. However, after they died, new human pillars would be produced in this area. "Until we can cultivate and have a certain amount of strength. The current situation was only possible because of the military's mediation. However, while we enjoy our power, we also have to ensure the stability of the area under our jurisdiction.”
"Cherry, keep this well." Qin Feng handed a pendant to Yang Guo." This is the Aura Concealment Talisman your father gave me when I was being hunted. If you bring this along, others won't be able to casually probe your soul source.”
Yang Guo pursed her lips and didn't take the white jade pendant that was carved into a blessing.
"Don't hate your father. He's just a love fool. He was sentimental but kept hurting the people around him who loved him.”
"Cute is not a reason to hurt! He let my grandmother down." Yang Guo's eyes were filled with tears.
"He let you down too, didn't he?" He Zhiyu patted Yang Guo's head pitifully.
" No," Yang Guo shook her head. She didn't need his apology. I only hate him for being able to walk away. When Grandma was sick, he didn't show up. When Grandma was bullied, he didn't show up. When Grandma froze to death on the mountain road, he did not appear.
Qin Feng looked at the tears silently falling in front of him, crying like a child who had been wronged but had nowhere to cry. He sighed and patted Yang Guo's back.
"Ding dong, ding dong."
The doorbell rang. He Zhiyu peeked through the peephole, then turned around and silently said a name to the two people in the room. After Yang Guo had collected her expression, she opened the door.
"Why are you here?" He looked at Lu Linjie, who was standing outside the door. Qin Feng's face was cold, clearly not welcoming.
Lu Linjie glanced around the room and pushed Wang Xiao into the room."I'm teaching a disciple next door. I heard that Yang Guo is here. He brought Wang Xiao over to see his sister.”
Although Qin Feng still frowned when he saw Wang Xiao, he couldn't just chase him away.
"Didn't you just see it yesterday? What's there to see?" He Zhiyu was no longer as gentle as she was in front of Qin Feng. She was very rude to Lu Linjie.
Lu Linjie ignored her. He walked into Yang Guo and suddenly held her hand. An overbearing force rushed straight into Yang Guo's dantian. It was empty. Other than a Soul Pearl that ordinary people had, there was nothing he suspected.
"What are you doing!" Qin Feng pushed away Lu Linjie's hand. Yang Guo also swallowed the blood that had rushed into her mouth. The strength of that person just now was too strong, and Yang Guo was injured in the lungs.
"Master?" Wang Xiao supported Yang Guo and looked at Lu Linjie with vigilance.
Being stared at by the people in the room, Lu Linjie did not feel embarrassed. He retracted his hand and smiled lazily.""My bad. I'll treat you to a meal to apologize?"
"No need!" Qin Feng sneered." Lu, let me tell you clearly. Xiao Guo is someone I'm protecting. She is the pillar of our 13th Division.”
" Human pillar from the 13th district?" Lu Linjie looked at Qin Feng suspiciously.
"Hmph, you don't know, do you? When your senior brother Wang Bolin studied the appearance of the human pillar, he discovered that there would also be a riot of longevity energy at the junction of the Yang world and the Yin world, and that energy corresponded to the human pillar in the 13th district.”
"But that idea was rejected by Han Jianguo!”Lu Linjie refuted.
"Hmph, your master only knows how to dissect people and pursue immortality. When did he care about the life and death of the human pillar? Even if you asked him what existed at the intersection of Yin and Yang now, he probably wouldn't be able to answer.”Qin Feng has a mocking expression.
Lu Linjie lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, but he did not say anything.
"If you don't understand, then get lost. I don't have time to wait for you to think it through. In terms of talent, you're still inferior to your senior brother.”Seeing Lu Linjie leave, Qin Feng did not forget to mock him.
Wang Xiao saw that his master had left, but he didn't chase after him. He frowned and stared at Yang Guo, sizing her up and asking,"Yang Guo, are you really a human pillar?"
