Zhuang Rong'er has a "white moonlight" (a lost love) who died a hundred years ago. To resurrect him, she resorts to dark arts, searching everywhere for rare treasures. Until one day, sh...
Chapter 66066 The bride Zhuang Rong'er, her name will be remembered forever
I feel nervous when I am close to home.
Zhuang Rong'er once again deeply understood the meaning of this word.
Her fingers pinched the edge of the handkerchief that the little snake had covered Jing Huai's face with, and she remained trembling, unable to remove it for a long time.
——Ah Huai is Jing Huai.
It turned out that he had returned to her a long time ago, but she didn't notice.
...Why is she so slow?
Why should we look down on him because of those dark obsessions?
Zhuang Rong'er tried to remain calm, her eyes fixed on him, but all she recalled were the past times when they were together.
Her past with Ah Huai was much more than the few moments she had with Jing Huai.
She wanted to hug him, hold his hand, and cling to him tightly as if they were in the golden cage of the Changbao Club.
But was she still qualified to do so? She suddenly felt timid.
It would be much better to face him in a coma. If she had to face him awake, she might just choose to run away...
Zhuang Rong'er's breathing became difficult again, and her chest felt sore and numb.
She finally pulled her hand away without lifting the handkerchief.
She wanted to return to the Ruihuan Valley immediately, but she also knew that now was not the time.
More important than the fact that Ah Huai was actually Jing Huai were two other questions—
Why did the stone statue that emerged from the Abyss take on Jing Huai's identity? Why did it also contain the remnant soul of Jing Huai?
Even if she couldn't think of the answer to this question, she had to take the remaining soul back. She couldn't allow it to wander outside, nor could she allow a fake soul to move around in the world under the name of Jing Huai.
Perhaps this thought gave her an excuse to escape briefly. After a moment of confusion, she called the little snake back to the pavilion.
"Stay here and take care of him." She ordered in a hoarse voice.
The little snake held its breath and nodded in response.
He carefully observed Zhuang Rong'er's condition. He saw that she was clearly overwhelmed with excitement and fear. She was even stumbling slightly as she was about to walk away. He couldn't help but try to stop her: "Master, aren't we going back to Cuihuan Valley?"
Can't go back.
The people and things she cares about are now gathered in the Great Freedom Hall, and she also has things she has to accomplish here.
For example - killing the so-called saints.
"...Really? You actually wanted to kill that guy for your new lover!"
A string of very light laughter echoed in the valley, sometimes far away, sometimes near. Although the tone was extremely cheerful, the speaking voice was deep like that of an old man, which showed a very strange feeling.
"Good Rong'er, you are alive again, that's great." said the voice.
The little snake shuddered and looked around vigilantly. Even he could tell that it was Yan Ji who was speaking, so how could Zhuang Rong'er not hear it?
They both looked into the distance and saw the fat monk-like Nightmare Lady standing on a tree, looking down at them from afar.
"Strong love and hate are more suitable for you, Rong'er. I like those extreme emotions, not the weak timidity, inferiority and helpless joy that just mixed in your heart."
He spoke provocatively, but the moment he met Zhuang Rong'er's gaze, he smiled and slipped away, not forgetting to say before leaving, "Your eyes have recovered, how great! This way, I can see my beloved's face more clearly..."
Zhuang Rong'er looked coldly at the direction where it disappeared, threw the snake bone whip on the ground of the pavilion, but did not follow the voice. Instead, she turned back towards the inner hall of the Great Freedom Hall.
The Nightmare Lady would appear in front of her again at this time, almost deliberately trying to lure her to chase it, and maintaining the appearance of a fat monk. There was only one possibility - something had happened to Kongming.
If she needs a second round of soul fusion, she will have to use the Rebirth Cone, and Kongming must not be in any harm.
The little snake foolishly picked up the snake bone whip and held it in his arms, watching Zhuang Rong'er rush into the rain.
The rain started to get heavier again.
Raindrops as big as beans washed the wet earth, and Nightmare Lady's laughter echoed faintly in the valley, giving people a... very bad premonition.
…
"Donor, stop! What are you doing?"
"Stop her!"
"This is a sacred Buddhist place, don't trespass!"
"Master Zhuang, if you wish to see the abbot, you must wait patiently for our report..."
The panicked shouts of the monks alarmed the people nearby.
"Jing Huai" was originally sitting with his eyes closed on a cushion in an empty Zen room. After hearing those voices, he opened his eyes from under the cloth.
He stood up and watched as a dozen monks ran in one direction. At the front of the crowd was the woman who made him inexplicably concerned, as fast as lightning and wind.
He frowned slightly, closed the door behind him, and rushed in that direction.
The moment he took a step, the Zen room next door was opened, and a white-haired woman looked at the direction of the crowd with deep worry - Nian You, the acting Palace Master of Yingyue Palace. She also rushed to the Dazizai Palace because of the melee last night.
Nian You's gaze shifted away from the monks and locked onto the saint who had just run over. She bit her lip, hesitated for two seconds, and then followed him.
As the others followed, Zhuang Rong'er had already broken into the room and saw Kong Ming lying on the ground in the dim room. Blood was oozing from his body, soaking through his robes.
The disciples of the Great Freedom Hall who had hurriedly chased after her and tried to stop her had also reached the door. Seeing this scene, they were all trembling with shock and panic. They rushed into the house in a chaotic manner, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Abbot!"
"Why is this happening...hasn't the snake demon been sealed?"
No one dared to step forward. The scene before them made the monks' eyes red and their minds went blank. They had been drained of all their strength by grief, and many of them even fell to the ground.
Zhuang Rong'er's expression was equally grim. She passed all the stunned people and instantly reached Kong Ming's side, extending two fingers to probe his breath...
It was faint, almost invisible, but it also meant that he was not dead yet.
It was obviously good news, but instead of settling her heart, it made it sink even faster...
Kongming is still alive, and the fat monk in the form of Yan Ji did not appear nearby. This is worse than if he were dead.
He was fine, which meant someone else was in trouble. This was a trick used by Nightmare Lady to lure the tiger away from the mountain...
Now they were gathered in the empty palace, having already fallen into a trap. But now it seemed too late to wake up...
"Bang--"
In an instant, everyone heard a deafening roar. The air seemed to stagnate for a moment because of the noise. Everyone was terrified, as if a thousand-year-old tree had collapsed and some horrific event had occurred underground.
Underground is the underground palace of the Mahadeva Temple, where the snake demon is sealed!
Such a loud noise seemed to wake up even Kong Ming, whose life was on the verge of withering. He opened his eyes with difficulty, his eyes filled with blood and tears. However, he soon realized what had happened and there was no life left in him.
"Abbot! The abbot is awake..." A monk noticed it and rushed over to help Kongming up, but the skinny hands stopped everyone. Kongming shook his head and barely supported his body from the ground by himself.
"Chifang, take everyone out."
His voice was so low that it was barely audible.
But to the panicked disciples, its power was no different from the unknown loud noise before.
"...Only, only Master Zhuang is left." Kong Ming's eyes were almost distracted, staring straight at a certain place in the room.
No one could feel at ease with him in this state, but they could not disobey the abbot's orders.
"...Yes." Chi Fang's eyes were filled with tears, but he lowered his head respectfully and led everyone to retreat quietly.
No one said anything more, and no one asked any more questions.
Even though they were terrified and worried, fearing that this would be the last time they would see the abbot...
"Please come in, two distinguished guests outside." Kongming said again to the door that was closed by the disciple.
Unfortunately, his weak voice could hardly penetrate the barrier. Zhuang Rong'er, the only one left in the hall, looked at him with a complicated expression and walked out on her own initiative.
When she walked into the hall again, there were two people following her.
The saint "Jing Huai" who also showed no emotion, and Yingyue Palace Nianyou who was obviously frightened.
Zhuang Rong'er calmly turned her eyes away from "Jing Huai".
She wanted to kill this "thing", but she didn't have to be hostile the moment she saw him.
Recklessness and impulsiveness are the characteristics of fools. Fortunately, she only acted foolishly for the real Jing Huai. When facing a fake, she always remained calm.
"The snake demon... committed suicide."
Kong Ming's eyes were extremely cloudy, and it was already a little difficult for him to say this.
The other three people present had different reactions after hearing this.
Zhuang Rong'er realized this the moment she found out Kong Ming was not dead, and her expression did not change at this moment.
"Jing Huai" tilted his head slightly, and his expression was serious from his tightly pursed lips.
Nian You even cried out in shock. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she trembled as she said, "Doesn't that mean that Nightmare Lady is about to devour the Snake Demon's grudge?!"
Although she had a premonition when she heard the loud noise, she felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing after hearing Kong Ming's admission with her own ears.
The snake demon trapped in the underground palace was persuaded by the Nightmare Princess and was willing to die to help the Nightmare Princess stir up the storm...
Nightmare Lady had lived in Yingyue Palace for more than a hundred years. Nianyou had an incomparable understanding of the power of such a monster. If it really completely digested the resentment of the snake demon, it would become extremely powerful. At that time, it would be easy for it to play with people's hearts and brew disasters, and even destroy the world would be conceivable!
After all, humans are creatures controlled by emotions. If anyone can remain rational, it simply means the emotional impact they receive is not strong enough...
Kong Ming nodded slowly. "It... devours the snake demon's resentment. It takes time. We must break it up before it... completely digests it..."
"Yan Ji is cunning! She knows that her mission is imminent, and she will never show up easily during this period, so that we can find her flaw!" Nian You said anxiously.
Kong Ming's breathing quickened a little, and he suddenly stared into Zhuang Rong'er's eyes. He stretched out his stiff hands into his arms, and after searching twice, he took out a folded red paper with great effort.
It was no longer possible to tell whether the bright red was its original color or was stained red by Kong Ming's blood.
"This is... left by Nightmare Lady..." he said with difficulty.
The red paper was slowly unfolded, and several people looked at the paper. They saw dark ink and neat strokes, but the content inside was so shocking that it was impossible not to panic!
It reads:
"With this bond, we seal our marriage. The bride, Zhuang Rong'er, shall be named forever; the groom, Jing Huai, shall be named alongside. Heaven and earth shall bear witness, the netherworld shall bear witness, and Lady Yan shall personally sign her name, acting as the matchmaker..."
At the end, a deep red mark resembled a blood lotus, its petals unfolding layer by layer, pulsating and faintly emitting a chill. On the paper, where the wedding date should have been written, there was a blank space...
——This is a marriage certificate left by Yan Ji.
