Chapter 368: Third-Level Soul-Calming Talisman
There were three knocks on the door, followed by a muffled sound.
But no one came to open the door.
Xiang Xiuyuan waited for a moment.
The evil cultivators have been rampant recently, and four of the eight elders have been dispatched. As an inner disciple, Xiang Xiuyuan has been ordered to strengthen patrols within the sect.
Once I get busy, I don’t have much time to spend with others.
Xiang Xiuyuan originally wanted to talk to Ye Xingzhou privately, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time.
Therefore, Ye Xingzhou's sudden absence always makes me feel heartbroken.
Xiang Xiuyuan's gaze fell on the crack in the door, and his hand, which was in mid-air, dropped down.
Ye Xingzhou was not at home and the door was not closed tightly.
This is to leave the door open for others to come in.
Ye Xingzhou, another person went out.
Xiang Xiuyuan lowered his eyelids.
The gap in the door widened as it was pushed, and when it was wide enough for one person to enter, the scene inside the house came into view.
The furniture was displayed, empty and without a trace of people.
Only on the wooden table, under the teacup, there was a letter.
Xiang Xiuyuan clenched his fists and stood motionless beside the wooden table like a piece of wood.
The letter was quietly pressed down, and the pen and ink beside it had not even been collected yet.
Ye Xingzhou walked in a hurry.
Xiang Xiuyuan finally loosened his fist, leaving several deep nail marks on his palm.
He pulled out the letter, twisted it with his fingertips, and unfolded the letter.
The ink was still wet, and the handwriting was slightly blurred due to folding, but it did not affect the legibility. The letter read:
To my senior brother:
The road is long and the world is unpredictable.
One year of acquaintance, three years of separation.
We have been together for a long time and apart for a long time. I feel guilty but have not expressed it all. Now we are separated again because of something.
Beidian is a dangerous place. It is difficult to get out once you enter without being a designated person. I will return after finding the demon summoning scroll.
Brother Xiang, please forgive my selfish behavior and please explain to my other fellow brothers on my behalf.
Mo Yu had a lot to say and time was running out, so he had to stop writing.
Let your mind return to its place, but don’t search or look for it.
Written by Ye Jinghe.
The paper had a few more wrinkles.
His fingertips turned white from exerting so much force, and Xiang Xiuyuan sighed deeply.
Ye Xingzhou knew he would come, so he planned to leave the letter for him.
Among the few people, Xiang Xiuyuan was the easiest to explain.
If Ye Xingzhou said goodbye in person, not only Meng Zhi, but Ren Wangzhu would never allow it.
Unless you are a specific person, you cannot leave Beidian City once you enter it. Ye Xingzhou was in a dilemma and had to make a decision.
Words cannot express all the emotions, the paper is filled with them.
Xiang Xiuyuan smoothed out the wrinkles on the letter, folded it again and put it in his arms.
When I looked up, I saw someone leaning against the door frame.
Wrapped in a white cloak, his eyes were calm.
Liu Guian's pale lips moved a few times, "Is he gone?"
"Um."
Xiang Xiuyuan's eyes swept across the cloak that Liu Guian was wearing. The cloak was thick and had a furry collar. It was the one that Ye Xingzhou had worn.
The furry collar protected his cheeks, making Liu Guian's drooping eyes look even more innocent.
However, Xiang Xiuyuan took a look at him, walked around him, raised his hand to close the door and left.
Liu Gui'an did not speak to anyone else, but just tightened his collar and took out the jade slip from his sleeve.
"Mom, I want to go down the mountain."

On his way down the mountain, Ye Xingzhou met an unexpected person.
The girl in green holds an umbrella, her black hair is loose and her eyes are covered with white gauze.
It’s the second senior brother Mu Liushui.
He stood there quietly, and the shadow of the sect's plaque just happened to fall on that area, covering him.
The sun shines down, but cannot touch him.
The shadow fell to the ground, but it couldn't cover him.
He held up an umbrella that had been repaired many times, blocking out everything.
After Ye Xingzhou arrived, he seemed to have sensed something and turned his head slightly half an inch.
"I'm sorry for coming here without your permission."
The sound of flowing water at dusk is just like water, slow and smooth, pure and elegant.
Talking to him is like listening to Buddhist chants, which purifies your mind.
But Ye Xingzhou was a little surprised.
Mu Liushui looks gentle, but actually has a cold personality.
It’s really unexpected that I came here specially to wait for Ye Xingzhou.
Mu Liushui apologized, he must have listened to Gu Qingshan's words.
Since Ye Xingzhou didn't know who to trust and Lingjian Peak was highly suspicious, Gu Qingshan simply discussed it with his two senior brothers.
Unless necessary, do not appear in front of Ye Xingzhou and create panic for him.
Before Ye Xingzhou could say anything, Mu Liushui took out three talismans from his sleeve.
It's a third-level requiem talisman.
"Beidian is easy to enter but difficult to exit. If the soul is unstable, it is very easy to be disturbed by the undead."
He explained calmly.
"Thank you, Second Brother, but..." Ye Xingzhou was puzzled, "Second Brother, how did you know I was going to Beidian?"
"That's what Elder Xuan said."
In fact, when Mu Liushui went to Danfeng for an eye examination, Elder Xuan scolded Ye Xingzhou's three senior brothers and even the secluded Immortal Wujian.
Ye Xingzhou went through life and death and was so busy that he had no time to rest. Several people could not contribute manpower, and they didn't even bother to provide any material resources.
Especially Feng Wujian, who was hiding in his shell like a turtle and couldn't come out.
The curses were so ugly and so offensive.
Mainly because they wanted to give it to Ye Xingzhou, he also avoided them.
He asked Elder Xuan to pass it on, but was scolded by Elder Xuan again.
But Mu Liushui didn't tell Ye Xingzhou.
Ye Xingzhou looked at Mu Liushui's covered eyes and asked hesitantly, "Second Brother, are your eyes better?"
"It won't get better." Mu Liushui shook his head. "Don't worry about me. Just go down the mountain."
"Then Second Brother, I'm leaving now. I'll bring you some folk remedies when I come back."
How could any folk remedy be useful for an eye that even Elder Xuan couldn't cure? It was just some comforting words.
Mu Liushui stood where he was, watching the figure go down the mountain.
A gust of wind came.
The leaves rustled and fell.
The white gauze fluttered.
Ye Xingzhou turned around.
Mu Liushui's eyes were staring into the void, his pupils were dim and lifeless, as if covered by a thick layer of fog.
He tried to reach out and catch the white gauze that was blown away by the wind, but he was a step too slow.
In the breeze, leaves and gauze dance lightly.
The sunlight is clear, reflecting beautiful light and shadow on the gauze net.
Even with an umbrella to block the light, Mu Liushui's eyes still oozed black blood as if irritated.
At first glance, it's really scary.
Ye Xingzhou turned back a few steps, picked up the white gauze and returned it.
"Second Brother, how could it be so serious?"
"This is how ghost energy erosion works."
Mu Liushui used some hand gestures to clean up the nasty bloodstains, and then covered his eyes with the gauze again.
"Sorry to scare you."
Ye Xingzhou paused for a moment, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
How can it not hurt?
If you see the sun, you will bleed. Even if you are covered with an umbrella or gauze at dusk, you still have to endure the erosion of ghost energy when you go out on weekdays.
Now that the sun is strong, the backlash is even more severe.
Ye Xingzhou urged, "Second Brother, please go back quickly."
Mu Liushui doesn't like physical contact, so Ye Xingzhou simply took out the teleportation talisman and smiled at Mu Liushui.
"This is the teleportation talisman I drew myself. Second Brother, you can help me test its effect."
Mu Liushui took the talisman and said, "Junior brother, I wish you a safe and smooth journey."
"If you need us, send us a spiritual message and we will come as soon as possible."
"good."
Ye Xingzhou waved his hand and sent Mu Liushui away before summoning Feizhou.
After inserting the spiritual stones and the pass, the flying boat set off.
Ye Xingzhou lay down on the deck.
Watch the winding mountains and rivers, and hear the whistling wind.
With the barrier blocking the way, the flying boat is very safe.
A moment of tranquility allowed Ye Xingzhou to reorganize his thoughts.
