Chapter 126 [Spirit Pearl] Confused
Lu Lishen held Ye Musi in his arms. He watched the person in his arms busy all afternoon but accomplished nothing.
He had read Ye Musi's past and knew that Hua Jin was an lingering fear for Ye Musi. Just when he was about to speak, Hua Jin's voice disappeared, and then Ye Musi climbed to the top of the mountain in a daze, and went to each formation to check the situation.
"Let's go back and eat."
Ye Musi didn't say anything either. He leaned against Lu Lishen, closed his eyes, and felt sleepy and tired.
Let him take a nap first.
It was already midnight when Ye Musi woke up. He nestled in Lu Li's arms. The big embrace wrapped him up, making him feel warm and at ease.
He moved slightly and Lu Lishen woke up.
Lu Lishen leaned close to Ye Musi, leaving a scent mark on his face, and then rubbed his cheek affectionately.
"Master, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Lu Lishen slowly sat up and was about to prepare a meal for Ye Musi.
Ye Musi grabbed his wrist.
"I'm not hungry, please stay with me." He acted like a spoiled child and snuggled into his arms.
Lu Lishen was always very patient with Ye Musi. He hugged Ye Musi back, lay on the bed, and hugged him.
"What's wrong?" His gentle voice rubbed Ye Musi's cochlea.
"I don't know either. I suddenly feel so tired. I have never felt so tired before." Ye Musi didn't know what was wrong with him. He was fine a few days ago. When the doubts appeared one by one, he didn't feel tired. But suddenly he recalled so many doubts, put them together, and put them on himself, and he felt uneasy.
He was extremely panicked and wanted to escape and run away.
He accepted his identity as Lingzhu, but couldn't understand why he could never be Lingzhu since he had been so mediocre in the past.
"Rest if you're tired..." Lu Lishen comforted him, "Never mind, regardless of the Three Realms. If an alien species wants to break the seal, what does it have to do with you? Master, you protect the world, but have the world ever protected you? You say it's a responsibility, you say birth isn't something that anyone can decide, but those people don't know you're a Spirit Pearl. Have they ever respected you as much as a fake Spirit Pearl like me? You're the Valley Master. Your disciples, what do their lives have to do with the Spirit Pearl alien species? Why are you putting this unfounded thing on you? Even if Huajin wants to destroy the world, it has nothing to do with you. Who caused Huajin to become like this? Who will bear the responsibility and be held accountable?"
"That's what I said..." After listening to Lu Lishen for so long, Ye Musi interrupted him.
Who wanted Hua Jin to become like this? It was undoubtedly related to Mu Chi, his master. He and Hua Jin were brothers, inextricably linked. He couldn't escape; they were bound together.
"That's what you should say. They treated you badly, yet you helped them and took responsibility. How did Hua Jin become like this? I've heard about it myself. Besides being related to Master, does it have nothing to do with the world? They forced Hua Jin, and Yinyou Valley also forced him. Yinyou Valley teaches the difference between good and evil, but Hua Lingzhi is the only demon in the valley, and they also identified her as a demon. No matter what kind of good or evil this demon is, they don't care. They betrayed you, us, and the purpose of Yinyou Valley. They are not on the same path. Master, you protect them, but they may not be grateful to you. Master insists on taking care of it, and I can't say anything. I can't bear to let you get hurt and make myself so tired. You've done enough."
Ye Musi was very moved. No one had ever said this to him. They only told Ye Musi that he was not good enough and needed to continue. He knew that as long as he was in power, nothing would be enough and he could only go higher and higher.
When he didn't know his own identity, he thought about escaping. He wanted to compromise, let go, and return the position of Valley Master to Zhu Jianye. But after he knew it, he realized that the position of Valley Master was given to him by Mu Chi, and no one would compete with him for it. Zhu Jianye didn't want this position, so he could only sit on it.
He was confused, and his identity suddenly changed, making him even more confused.
"You don't owe them anything." Lu Lishen raised his hand, wiped away his tears, and looked at him distressedly, "They owe you, the heaven owes you."
Ye Musi didn't know what to feel at this moment. He pursed his lips, hid in the quilt, covered his ears, and stopped listening to what Lu Lishen said. He wanted to think about it carefully.
Actually, if you say this, it seems both right and wrong.
Yinyou Valley was indeed indifferent to him, but it was also his home and had nothing to do with the Three Realms. The Three Realms respected him because of his status, and there had never been too many things that made him unhappy.
Complexity and disorder cannot express what he feels at this moment.
He cannot deal with problems as calmly and calmly as Mu Chi, he will escape. Perhaps he is not like Mu Chi's apprentice, but like a wild child. Yinyou Valley does not need such a valley master, and the Three Realms do not need such a leader of the six sects.
He thought about it, feeling messy and numb all over.
Lu Lishen felt even more distressed when he saw him like this.
"I don't want you, Master, to get involved in these awful matters, but if you want to, I will always be by your side. If you want me to do it, I will do it too. I love you."
There was no movement after he finished speaking. After a long while, Lu Lishen said, "There's no use for dinner. You must be hungry, right?" He slept outside, got up, put on his shoes and socks, and was about to get some food.
Ye Musi also stood up.
"Let me go with you." He wanted to go with Lu Lishen, he didn't want to be alone.
Lu Lishen did not refuse, and the two of them put on their clothes and went downstairs together.
Before entering the inn's kitchen, they heard some noise inside. They both asked at the same time, "Who is in there so late?"
The two looked at each other deeply, and although the night was dark, they could still see their own outlines in each other's eyes.
Lu Lishen went forward to open the door, and Ye Musi followed closely behind.
When I opened the door, I saw Ji Wang squatting at the stove, holding meat buns in both hands and eating them politely.
"You, you are eating secretly?" Lu Lishen was shocked by this scene. During dinner, the child didn't say a word and left the table and went back to his room before even picking up his chopsticks. Inexplicably, he disappeared after dinner.
Ji Wang looked at the man who came and swallowed the meat in his mouth. He said confidently, "Stealing? This is not stealing. You paid for it."
Lu Lishen was really speechless. He glanced at Ye Musi behind him.
"Master, look at him, he's justified in eating secretly."
Ye Musi shook his head, and suddenly remembered that Ji Changan was scared away by Ji Wang’s pressure during the day, so he asked.
"Ji Wang, who are your parents? You have been away from home for so long, it's time to go back, otherwise your parents will be worried." Ye Musi thought that they had been together for a day, and since he stayed with them like this, there must be something wrong, so he wanted to see if he could get anything out of them.
"I don't have any parents."
Ji Wang really has no parents. He doesn't know where he came from, how he became conscious, or why he is all alone. He knows nothing about these things.
"According to your terms, I am a street kid, right?"
He didn't know how long he had been a homeless child. Day after day, night after night, he had endured countless nights alone.
He is very lonely.
"You're lying! You're wearing such fine clothes, and you have such a high level of cultivation?" Lu Lishen asked. "Besides, you have a high level of cultivation, and you recognize the Ten Thousand Bone Sword and Shen Lian from a hundred years ago. You must be from a wealthy family. What is your purpose in approaching us?"
"I know the Ten Thousand Bone Sword, but a hundred years ago..." Ji Wang had lived for a very long time. He didn't know what day it was, nor did he know how to tell them how old he was. Anyway, he had lived longer than them, but he always looked like a child. He never grew up. "Has it been so long?"
Seeing this, Ye Musi didn't think he was lying.
"There are very few people who can recognize the Ten Thousand Bone Sword. Besides, you are a child, how can you recognize it? I don't believe anything you say."
Ji Wang glanced at Lu Lishen lightly and continued to eat the bun. He had never eaten anything before. Only in the past few days with Lan Feiyue and the others did he taste the taste of food, and he liked it.
"Oh." Ji Wang didn't say much nonsense. It didn't matter to him whether Lu Lishen and others believed what he said or not.
"Since it's the afternoon, we..." Ye Musi said,
"Let me finish eating first." Ji Wang finished eating the buns, washed his hands with a magic wand, and sat on the stool.
Ye Musi and Lu Lishen sat opposite Ji Wang one after another.
Lu Lishen snapped his fingers and lit the candles. The candlelight illuminated the faces of the three people, and with its warm tones, it added a touch of warmth to the cold kitchen.
"You can ask whatever you want, but don't ask who I am or who my parents are. Everything I say is true. I don't know who I am or who my parents are. I don't have any parents."
"You said Chen Lian entered the animal realm. How did you know that?" Ye Musi asked. He clearly remembered what Ji Wang said during the day. When he was a child, he had read the storybook of Chen Lian and A Jiang. It did not say that Chen Lian entered the animal realm, but that Chen Lian dominated the three realms, married A Jiang as the Demon Queen, and lived a happy life.
Perhaps apart from him and Lu Lishen, no one else in the Three Realms knew that Chen Lian had entered the animal realm. So how did Ji Wang know about it?
"I sent him to the animal realm. He wants to rebel against Heaven. How can I tolerate him?"
Lu Lishen slammed his hand on the table and said, "You're talking nonsense. It was the Way of Heaven that sent Chen Lian into the realm of beasts."
Having said this, Ye Musi and Lu Lishen's pupils dilated at the same time, looking at the scene before them with disbelief in their eyes.
They remembered where they had seen the runes on Ji Wang's clothes. In Jiaozhu's memory, when Shen Lian and A Jiang got married, the way of heaven descended.
The way of heaven?
ah?
Is it the way of heaven?
What is even more incomprehensible to them is that Tiandao is a child?
"I am what you call the Heavenly Dao. You call me the Heavenly Dao, but I'm not the Heavenly Dao. I'm also wondering, are you obsessed with these two words?" Ji Wang seemed unusually calm despite the two people's surprise. "Are you surprised by my identity?"
Ji Wang looked at the two people's shocked expressions and was puzzled. He felt that there was nothing wrong with his identity.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?" Lu Li thought deeply, remembering the Heavenly Dao's gift of life. Heaven wanted to kill Ye Musi, a stinky kid, and actually wanted to kill his master. Then he realized that Ji Wang had been sticking to Ye Musi for the past few days. Could it be that he wanted to do something to Ye Musi?
"If you do the math, you really do look like you're three years old compared to me."
Ye Musi remained silent, his brow furrowed as he stared at the scene before him. His emotions were more complicated than ever. Heaven had come to him just like it had a hundred years before. Would there be a glimmer of hope for him, or perhaps...
He didn't dare to think about it, nor did he know what the meaning of coming down to the mortal world was.
"What exactly do you want to do by becoming like this and approaching my master?" Lu Li asked deeply.
