Chapter 84 Weng Xingyun

The palm covering the lips was not soft, on the contrary, it was very strong.

It was the hand of a martial artist, so it could tightly wrap around the soft lips. Even the warm air exhaled from the nose of the victim was eventually wrapped by the palm of the hand.

This is a gesture that only the most controlling people would make.

Ning Mingmei only gave one answer to such expectations: "Brother, when you stole things from others, did you also not wear gloves?"

"I took off my gloves on purpose because I wanted to cover my junior fellow apprentice's mouth," the man said.

Ning Mingmei raised his eyebrows. Qi Miancheng then let go of his hand: "Ah... Junior Brother, why did you react like this? I just wanted to play a joke on you."

Ning Mingmei asked: "So what did Senior Brother steal?"

As he said this, he wanted to wipe his lips with his sleeve. Qi Miancheng said: "I didn't intend to tell anyone about this, but if you want to ask...Wouldn't it be dirtier if I wiped my mouth with my sleeve? It's better not to wipe it."

Ning Mingmei felt that this sentence was a bit strange.

What do you mean you don't let him wipe his mouth? Do I have to leave Qi Miancheng's fingerprints on his face and lips?

Ning Mingmei felt uncomfortable all over, so he raised his eyebrows: "Why, is it that Senior Brother's sleeves are cleaner than mine? If Senior Brother doesn't mind, I will use Senior Brother's sleeves to wipe it."

Qi Miancheng: "I just stole something, so my sleeves are naturally dirty. But I have a handkerchief, do you want it, Junior Brother?"

…Let’s forget it.

"This item has been missing for many years. In recent years, I finally found its whereabouts in the Lian family." Qi Miancheng said, "The Lian family guarded it very carefully, but fortunately, I also have the blood of the Lian family."

Ning Mingmei: "What is so precious that the head of the Qingji Sect, who is so bright and noble, would come to the Lian family to steal?"

"The thieves were from the Lian family a thousand years ago. What they took away from Xinghuo Island was not just half of the unfinished new martial arts." Qi Miancheng said.

A new technique that has not yet been completed on Xinghuo Island?

The image of the girl flashed through Ning Mingmei's mind again, along with the extremely strange booklet she left behind.

Some of the words in that booklet are lively, but some are weird. They inexplicably reminded Ning Mingmei of the uncanny valley - it was as if in the end, something that looked like a human but was not a human was drawing and painting on behalf of the girl.

According to the contents of the booklet and the information collected so far. Ning Mingmei can draw the following conclusions:

Before he came to this world, there was another time traveler. The time traveler traveled back a thousand years ago and was a top student girl who had just graduated from high school.

The young girl was talented and enthusiastic. She traveled around the world, collected information, and obtained the legacy left by the goddess who repaired the sky in the past - the glazed lotus lantern. She eventually founded an organization called "Spark Island" and taught the skills she had researched to everyone in the world - skills that allowed people of any race and any spiritual roots to practice equally.

But later, problems arose with the technique. The girl hurriedly looked for ways to improve things. At the same time, this once dazzling organization was killed by rumors, interests and human hearts. People avoided talking about it, and all those involved were slaughtered. The most innocent goodwill in the world became the biggest lie, excuse and terror in later generations.

Ning Mingmei didn't know how "magnificent" the "execution" on Xinghuo Island was that year, because apart from his expedition, there were no books recording their story. It’s as easy to erase a dream as it is to stigmatize a dream, just as it’s as easy to erase a story as it is to erase a text.

But thinking about the massacre caused by the Demon Concubine Rebellion and the tragic death of the powerful in the Rebirth Cave, Ning Mingmei could easily imagine that the scene at that time must have been beyond everyone's imagination.

What was left of the dream of Spark Island were only a few techniques that were considered forbidden. One of the basic skills was probably used by the later Furnace Demon Concubine, which triggered a new round of war. As for the other improved martial arts technique that has not yet been completed...combining the history of the Lian family's rise, Ning Mingmei can easily guess that this martial arts technique should have been taken away by the Lian family.

And it was used so despicably.

"Her ideals were never fulfilled, and she became a tool for others to fight against."

At that moment, the system suddenly sensed a slight energy fluctuation. But when it looked at Ning Mingmei, it found that the other party still had no extra expression.

"Thousands of years ago, the Heaven Gate collapsed three times due to the greed of various races. The third collapse almost led to the destruction of the six realms. It was not until the goddess used the ancient artifact lotus lamp passed down from the ancestors of the gods to save the six realms from disaster." Qi Miancheng said, "The lotus lamp bloomed in the ancient chaotic world. It needed the essence of the five elements as a wick and had seven lotus seeds. The goddess used her soul and six lotus seeds to nourish all things - in the end, only one was left. This lotus lamp was regarded as a magic lamp by the world. However, after the goddess passed away, the magic lamp was also lost."

"Later, an 'evil lamp' appeared in the world. It was called the evil lamp because it belonged to the owner of Sparkle Island, Weng Xingyun. Legend has it that the evil lamp was fueled by human blood and was made in every way like the magic lamp of the past. People were furious and cursed the owner of Sparkle Island as a witch." Qi Miancheng said, "In fact, no one knew that the 'evil lamp' in Weng Xingyun's hand was also the 'magic lamp' of the past."

That high school girl is called "Xingyun" here.

Ning Mingmei said: "Is it true that no one knows?"

Qi Miancheng said, "What do you think, Junior Brother?"

"Some ignorant people in the world really don't know anything." Ning Mingmei said, "But for others... they can't let others know that this magic lamp now belongs to Weng Xingyun."

The person who could once drive the magic lamp was the goddess who saved the world. After saving the people, she died immediately. She died, and therefore could become the eternal "God" of the six realms of the world.

But Weng Xingyun is different. She can also use this magic weapon, but she is a living person.

Moreover, he is a... "arrogant" person who keeps saying that he wants to allow everyone in the world to practice magic.

Therefore, regardless of whether this "magic lamp" has the ability to recognize its owner independently, as long as the person who possesses this magic lamp is a living, "independent" person. What she possessed was definitely not the "real" magic lamp.

Ning Mingmei: "So this is what Old Thirteen and the others mean by 'good lamp' and 'evil lamp'."

After all, they are all lamps, but the people who drive them are different, the times they live in are different, and the benefits distributed to the people who drive the magic lamps are different, that's all.

But is Weng Xingyun really an unforgivable criminal? Is the goddess really supreme? What is the difference in the good deeds they did, and why are their endings so different?

As for using human blood as fuel... I don't know what that is.

Ning Mingmei asked: "So the lotus seed is also in her hand... Is the lotus seed you came here to take the one she once had?"

After the destruction of Spark Island, the Lotus Lantern was taken away by the powerful man and now it has fallen into the hands of Ning Mingmei.

And that lotus seed, along with the improved martial arts technique, was secretly taken away by the Lian family.

Qi Miancheng said: "However, it may not be a lotus seed now. Junior brother, do you know? Just as the lotus lamp itself is a divine object, the jade lotus seed is also a divine object - it is said that it can fulfill a wish of its recognized owner. Of course, each person can only wish once in his lifetime. As a price, his soul will be imprisoned in the lotus seed forever."

...It is truly worthy of being the lotus seed used to make the lotus lantern that repairs the sky.

Ning Mingmei frowned. He realized something: "Brother, what do you mean...?"

"Some people suspected that Weng Xingyun's soul was in this lotus seed." Qi Miancheng casually dropped a bombshell, "Xinghuo Island was destroyed, and Weng Xingyun died. During the Demon Concubine Rebellion, some people frantically raised the Soul Summoning Formation to call back her soul - they firmly believed that the demon woman Weng Xingyun was as cruel and evil as the rumors said, and could bring disaster to the world. As long as she was resurrected, they could sweep the world and make this rebellion a success."

Good news: Someone once wanted to resurrect Weng Xingyun.

Bad news: It was for such a ridiculous reason.

Ning Mingmei actually smiled when he heard this, but his eyes didn't smile: "Then they are destined to be disappointed."

"Yes. Since then, Master Wuwei Zhenren has speculated that Weng Xingyun may have made a wish to this lotus seed before her death, so her soul was trapped in this lotus seed forever. And this lotus seed is a divine weapon after all. Master said that it cannot be allowed to fall into any random place in the human world. The appearance of the lotus lantern lotus seed in the world is either a great joy or a great disaster." Qi Miancheng said, "It's a pity that Master couldn't find it. And I discovered the existence of this lotus seed through the clues of the Lian family's skills... It seems that they have never successfully used it."

For the first time, Ning Mingmei saw this lotus seed.

It looks as clear and bright as jade, but it is actually a chaos inside.

But just one glance... Ning Mingmei felt that something was pulling at his mind, making him delve deeper into it.

Qi Miancheng closed the box. He said: "From today on, I will take it back to the forbidden area of ​​Qingji Sect and seal it up."

Ning Mingmei asked, "Brother, don't you plan to use it?"

Qi Miancheng smiled: "If you don't have the ability to realize a wish yourself, how can you expect other powers to help you realize it? Moreover, if something catches your desire, it means that something has caught your weakness. Just like everyone in the Qi family knows that Lian Tingyu is the weak spot of the head of the family. And the Lian family also relied on the fact that my father and I are my mother's weak spots, and tried to get into the family before my mother passed away - and they almost succeeded."

Another very cold sentence.

"success?"

"That happened before I was a hundred years old." Qi Miancheng frowned, as if he didn't want to talk about it. "The Lian family often came to me and talked about their own difficulties and my mother's misunderstanding. So I naively thought that if my mother could forgive and make peace, everything would be the best. Therefore, I often persuaded my mother and fulfilled my filial piety on her behalf. I also said that the Lian family was just a second-rate family, and even if they forgave us, it would not have any bad impact on us. It's really interesting, how did I develop such a personality at that time?"

Ning Mingmei's eyes flickered.

His temperament "at that time" as described by Qi Miancheng was more like the temperament of a young master who would grow up in such a family.

"Then what?"

"Later, I did a lot of exaggerated things. Before my mother died, my father found out that I had altered the letter, so he got angry with me." Qi Miancheng said, "But my mother said something at that time - this was also the last sentence she left in this world."

"Well done, this is my son."

This was also the last sentence the head of the Qi family heard his wife say.

They still love each other, and the old patriarch of the Qi family is always willing to give everything for his wife, but their perceptions are too different.

Therefore, the old patriarch of the Qi family quickly fell silent. He had nothing else to do except continue to run the family affairs.

"..." Ning Mingmei said, "Please accept my condolences."

He was still thinking about the lotus seed - he didn't know why, but just after taking a look at it, he felt there was a voice in the lotus seed, calling him quietly.

And Qi Miancheng looked at him.

What was Ning Mingmei like in his mind? What is the reason why he doesn't touch Ning Mingmei?

Is it really because you want to be a gentleman?

Of course not.

After learning that his special physique required a cauldron for "dual cultivation", Qi Miancheng was disgusted and resisted it. Even though Master Wuwei had said that his special physique prevented him from causing any harm to the person he was cultivating with.

But he still hated it.

The reason is something no one could have imagined.
