Chapter 112 [Spirit Pearl] He is dying

At this moment, Ye Musi was sitting in the house, secretly reading the storybook about the most beautiful woman in the world of cultivation and the mermaid that he had just bought. The storybook was nearing the end, and Ye Musi was just standing up for A Jiang when the door suddenly rang "dong dong dong".

Ye Musi immediately covered the storybook and threw it under the table. It was covered with a tablecloth, so it could not be seen without X-ray vision. After doing this, he went to open the door.

He muttered to himself, all the acquaintances have left, who would come to see him?

"Brother Ji?" Seeing the newcomer, Ye Musi's expressionless face was tinged with joy. "You've come out of seclusion!"

"Yeah." Ji Changan's behavior was a little strange. When they met as usual, Ji Changan would definitely touch his head, but this time he didn't.

This made Ye Musi a little uncomfortable.

"You've been bored this month, haven't you?"

Ye Musi invited Ji Changan to sit in the house. "No, I got a new storybook recently, and I read it when I have nothing to do."

Ji Changan sat down, his lips curled up slightly from an angle that Ye Musi couldn't see. He raised his hand to Ye Musi's forehead. He memorized the forbidden spell and studied it for another month, finally achieving results. After today, he would no longer be an ordinary person. Ye Musi didn't know his own identity, didn't know how to practice, but he knew, he knew!

"Senior Brother Ji, what are you doing?" Ye Musi's vision was blocked, and he tilted his head to look at Ji Changan.

"Sit still and don't move."

Hearing this, Ye Musi sat up straight. He didn't know what Ji Changan was going to do, but he sat up straight anyway. Through the gaps between his fingertips, he saw Ji Changan's dark eyes flashing. He thought Ji Changan was going to perform a magic trick for him, and he was looking forward to it.

Ji Changan's finger gently touched Ye Musi's forehead. Ye Musi felt a strange power surging from Ji Changan's nails, but he did not realize the danger behind this power.

There was a flash of determination in Ji Changan's eyes. He knew that the price of using this forbidden technique would be the loss of all his cultivation, but he had no way out.

As the spell continued to be injected, Ye Ming began to feel something was wrong. This power seemed to be eroding his consciousness. His heartbeat began to accelerate and his breathing became rapid.

"Brother Ji?" Ye Musi narrowed his peach blossom eyes, looking at Ji Changan's cold eyes, and suddenly felt fear, "What are you doing?"

Ji Changan did not answer, his eyes remained cold, but with an extra sense of determination.

"You want to kill me?" Ye Musi and Ji Chang'an remained silent, so he asked again. His tone was filled with disbelief and other elements.

Ji Changan was the person who treated him the best in the entire Yinyou Valley. In the past, when Hua Jin bullied him, he would vent his anger for him as long as Ji Changan was there, and then the two of them would be punished together. They had always been brothers who shared good and bad things together.

He suddenly thought about Ji Changan's practice of forbidden techniques, and wondered if he was going to kill him to silence him. But even so, their feelings were still there, and he had never told anyone about such a small matter. How could Ji Changan bear to do that?

Ye Musi's limbs were weak and he was unable to stop Ji Changan.

"Brother, if you want me to die, you should let me die knowingly."

"Brother, I don't want to be mediocre for the rest of my life. Ah Si, please help me." Ji Changan felt a little sorry for this, but when he thought of He Ju's disappointed look, he couldn't accept it. He had tried so hard, but his master seemed to ignore his efforts, taking them for granted. He didn't want to be born with a spiritual fetus, he wanted to become a spiritual pearl, he wanted to change his master, he wanted to squeeze Hua Jin out and become the future Valley Master.

Ji Changan couldn't bear it, because he felt sorry for everything he had done in the past. No matter how much he couldn't bear it, he had to endure it. Only when Ye Musi died could he escape the word "mediocrity".

"I have no way to repay you, senior brother. I'll send Hua Jin and Zhu Jianye downstairs to play with you, okay?" Ji Changan's tone was gentle, but his eyes showed something different.

"don't want……"

Ji Changan thought Ye Musi didn't want to see Hua Jin, so he said, "That's right. Hua Jin bullied you so much, so I killed him and avenged you. If you have any other wishes, just tell me, and I'll do it for you. You can rest in peace now."

"I want to live..."

"Except staying alive."

Ye Musi pursed his lips slightly, his body went limp, he fell backwards, his head hitting the ground heavily. For a moment, his eyes went dark and he couldn't see clearly.

Senior Brother Ji wants him to die, how can he resist?

Senior Brother Ji has helped him so many times, so this time he should just repay him.

But he didn't want to die, he wanted to live, he wanted Ji Changan to give him a way out, to prove that he didn't have to die. But that was impossible, he could see from Ji Changan's eyes that if Senior Brother Ji was determined to kill him, he would not be able to survive.

He could not live anymore, he was dead, everything was over, and no one would come to look for him anymore. There was silence in his ears, but he still thought about the brotherhood and hoped that Ji Changan would let him go.

But even that little hope was dashed.

Ye Musi's consciousness gradually faded. He felt his body growing colder and colder, as if the light of life was about to go out. His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but even more of it was disappointment in Ji Changan. He had never imagined that one day his most trusted senior brother would suddenly end his life.

The consciousness becomes blurred and the body becomes cold.

He is going to die.

The silence in his ears was what made him most sad.

He was alone in a dark little room. He couldn't see clearly. He was so scared. He was alone.

…

The magic circle of the Illusion Forest allowed Ye Musi to see what he feared. It was true that he was afraid of Lu Lishen, but he was not the one he feared the most.

It was the childhood trauma that made him feel cold and fearful.

Chen Hua watched everything in the dark. He had caught Ye Musi's handle, so naturally he would present it to the person behind him.

"I'm working for Master Chen, so I should do what he promised me, right?" Bai Chaoyan looked up at the man standing on the higher ground. He wouldn't ask for help from Chen Hua unless it was absolutely necessary. However, facing Ye Musi and Lu Lishen alone, he probably had no chance of winning.

"What you said about Ye Musi and Lu Lishen being in an affair is true, but why is Ye Musi afraid of losing Lu Lishen? How can this affect the plan?" Chen Hua flicked his sleeves, turned around and stared down at his former apprentice. "I am being merciful by not killing you. After this plan, don't let me catch you."

Bai Chaoyan bit his lower lip tightly. If he hadn't been desperate, why would he come to find Chen Hua?

Chen Hua stared at Bai Chaoyan, still feeling some tenderness towards the man in front of him, "Forget it, go ahead and do a good job."

Bai Chaoyan left.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Li was walking deep in the illusion forest. He was conscious and sure that he had not fallen into the formation. Having experienced it once, he would not fall in the same place again. It was impossible for this illusion formation to stop him.

He was walking around when he suddenly saw a familiar figure and immediately rushed forward.

“Master!”

Lu Lishen looked nervous. He was very sure at this moment, and confirmed once again that he had not entered the illusion array. So the person trapped in the array was the real Ye Musi!

Lu Lishen looked at the person hanging in the formation anxiously. This formation must not be destroyed, otherwise the person inside will never wake up, and even if he wakes up, he will most likely become an idiot.

He didn't mind Ye Musi becoming an idiot, but he didn't want his master to become an idiot.

He looked down and suddenly found that the marriage bead in his hand was flashing with a faint red light, and was connected to the marriage bead in Ye Musi's hand by a red thread.

The marriage bead flashed, which meant that Ye Musi’s life was in danger at the moment.

This was just a test, and it shouldn't have harmed their lives, but Ye Musi came and the marriage bead flashed. All of this was so unspeakable, as if there was some huge conspiracy.

Lu Lishen wanted to grab Ye Musi's hand, but was blocked by the formation. He closed his eyes. When he was in a nightmare, his master had come to find him regardless of everything. Now he should go find his master. With the marriage beads, they could be connected. Nothing could stop them, unless they were separated forever.

…

When Ye Musi woke up, he was lying in his room with no one around him. He thought he was dead and his soul was just floating in the dark valley.

He got out of bed, feeling light and airy. Is this what it feels like to be a ghost? Not bad.

Because he thought he was a ghost, he didn't wear any clothes or shoes, and just ran straight into the door. The pain made him cover his head.

He is not dead.

He is not dead?

He is not dead!

What was that just now, was it a dream?

He knew why Senior Brother Ji would kill him.

Ye Musi didn't know how pale his face was at the moment. He was rescued by Mu Chi who rushed back. He had been through the gates of hell and was no longer the same as before. His physical fitness was not as good as before.

It felt like there were bugs crawling inside his neck, and he couldn't help coughing twice, but it didn't ease the pain.

Then the cough became louder and blood came out.

He thought he was sick, so he put on his clothes and shoes, opened the door, and the sunlight shone on his body, warm and comforting.

He was in a good mood and wanted to go see his senior brother Ji who was in seclusion, but he found that there was no one along the way. It seemed to be morning and his fellow disciples should have just got up, especially Hua Jin who lived next door to him. He got up on time and rolled his eyes at him every day.

What happened today? Why is there no movement?

Ye Musi felt a little uneasy. He walked to Hua Jin's door and knocked. "Big Brother?"

No one answered, and he didn't dare open the door, afraid that Hua Jin was inside, but also afraid that Hua Jin was not inside.

If Hua Jin wasn't in there...

Ye Musi swallowed hard, fearing that he would cough up blood again, he held it back and walked all the way to the Discipline Pavilion. Even though he was still hundreds of meters away, he could still hear the noise clearly.

"Ji Chang'an, a disciple of Elder Jieshu! He practices forbidden techniques and harms his fellow disciples. His crime is unforgivable!" Ye Musi remembered that this voice was He Ju's voice.

He Ju is the elder in charge of discipline in the valley. If any disciple makes a mistake, he must go to the Discipline Pavilion for punishment.

"The Valley Master should carry out the execution!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Musi's body instantly weakened and his legs trembled unconsciously, but he still walked towards the crowd step by step.

When some people saw him coming, they all made way for him.

"You know, he is also the Valley Master's apprentice, but he is mediocre and has little presence."

"He was the one who was murdered?"

"Hey, isn't he the junior fellow apprentice who hangs out with Ji Changan all the time?"

"That's him. He followed Ji Changan all day long, but he was almost killed by him. Oh, what a bad fate! His foundation was damaged, so it will be difficult for him to practice anymore~"

Ye Musi walked and listened. He walked slower and slower, not daring to move forward. He also wanted to see Senior Brother Ji as soon as possible so that he could tell him that all this was fake, a dream, a lie. As long as Ji Changan said it, he would believe it.

His footsteps became heavier and heavier, his heart beat like a drum, and every step felt like stepping on clouds, light and unreal.

The crowd dispersed, leaving him a path that led directly to the Jiesu Pavilion. He saw Ji Chang'an kneeling in front of the pavilion with tattered clothes and messy hair, but his back was still straight, as if no matter what humiliation he suffered, it could not break his pride.

Ji Changan's eyes were empty, until he saw Ye Musi, a hint of complex emotions flashed across his eyes.

Ye Musi's throat tightened. He wanted to say something, but found himself unable to speak. He looked at Ji Changan, the senior brother who had gently rubbed his head, the senior brother who had stood up for him when Hua Jin bullied him, the senior brother who had gotten into trouble with him, and now he was a prisoner.

He didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

Are you angry? Not really.

Not sad either.

The incident has passed, the anger has subsided, the sadness has passed, and there is nothing left, it has all disappeared.

But he was still crying. From the moment he knew Ji Changan was going to kill him until now, tears were streaming down his face.

"Senior Brother Ji..." Ye Musi's voice finally came out of his throat, hoarse and weak. He stood in the first row of disciples and did not move forward.

When Ji Changan heard Ye Musi's voice, his eyes finally focused. He looked at his junior brother in front of him, and a flash of guilt and more of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

Thinking back to that day, he felt very unwilling. If he had not been soft-hearted and had not listened to Ye Musi's nonsense, he would not be here now, waiting to die with his cultivation wasted.

His eyes were fixed on Ye Musi, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of this junior brother in his heart forever.

Ye Musi's tears blurred his vision. He tried hard to control his emotions, but his voice was still filled with tears, "Senior Brother Ji..."

He didn't know what to say, so he just called out this name.

Ji Changan was taken to the execution platform. His face showed no fear, only relief. He felt that it was fine to die like this, to end his life like this. He hoped that in the next life he would no longer be an ordinary person.

So it was, his life was like this.

His eyes were still on Ye Musi, and his thin lips opened slightly.

"Ah Si, you must remember me, remember that you have such a senior brother." His voice was weak, but it reached Ye Musi's ears clearly. He was mediocre, but Ye Musi was not mediocre. Since he could not become Ye Musi, he wanted Ye Musi to live well. As long as Ye Musi was alive, he would remember him for the rest of his life. Then he would not be considered dead, and he could also live on by relying on Ye Musi's glory.

Ye Musi's heart was torn as he watched Ji Changan being led to the execution platform. His once high-spirited senior brother was now facing such a fate. Perhaps he had a malicious mind, and he wanted Ji Changan to live, but to live with his cultivation scattered. This was the greatest punishment for Ji Changan.

He dragged his sick body to the execution platform and knelt in front of Mu Chi.

"Master, please, please let Senior Brother Ji go."

Mu Chi narrowed his eyes, and even Hua Jin and Zhu Jianye, standing in the audience, were stunned. Ji Chang'an practiced forbidden techniques, a crime worthy of death. Even if the valley didn't punish him, Heaven would still sentence him to death. Using forbidden techniques would not end well. Furthermore, that person was the one who wanted to kill Ye Musi. They couldn't understand why Ye Musi was so spineless as to plead for the man who had killed him.

"There won't be a next time, Master!" Ye Musi bowed his head, "Master!"

He cried so hard that he felt like his father was going to die.
