Chapter 104 Ending (V) Hate her.
Ten days apart.
Mingyao never indulged in dreams again. The monsters in the fairy mountain were fighting endlessly. She first went to find Chao Qulai and Jiali, but she only saw Chao Qulai.
Chao Qulai has already made a request to Xuanxiu.
He must have known the truth, so Mingyao spoke very directly.
"I've already taken Jiali's eternal lamp out." Mingyao looked at the person in front of him. "Are you going to tell Jiali?"
"Tell what?" Chao Qulai asked her, raising his eyebrows as if he had just met her. "I don't know anything. I only know what I saw. There's nothing much to say to Jiali."
He didn't lie.
After a moment of silence, Mingyao asked him, "So what did you see at the time?"
"The mountain master's soul is being devoured by the immortal mountain."
Chao Qulai spoke frankly this time, letting out a breath with an exaggerated expression, "For all these years, I never dared to speak. Now I can finally speak."
"So, you wanted to take Jiali away?"
"Yeah. It's a shame it failed. Fortunately, she's lucky and she's fine."
"Do you like her?" Mingyao paused. "Or is it just friendship?"
"Tsk tsk, that's a good question. Miss Wen, I don't think we're that close."
When Ming Yao heard this, the immortal power in his hand surged upwards.
Chao Qulai is very aware of the current situation.
"I'm more than a fellow disciple. I don't like her enough, but I just can't bear to see her die, so I want to do my best for her."
"Back then, the situation was tense, so we had to ask Immortal Lord Miaomiao to extinguish her eternal lamp. But now that war has begun again, this decision may have to be made by her herself."
"That's why you didn't bring her eternal lamp today."
Mingyao did not deny it: "I hid her eternal lamp in a place where only she can find it."
"Okay, then I'm relieved." Chao Qulai stretched lazily, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Having said that, he retreated halfway and turned back: "...I didn't want to say it at first, but after thinking it over, I decided to say it."
"If there's something going on between you and that Immortal Lord, it's better not to hide it."
Mingyao wanted to laugh: "You have hidden so many things from Jiali."
"But Jiali is different from your Immortal Lord. Although Jiali has a bad temper, he's fine after he vents his anger. You and your Immortal Lord are much more extreme."
As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Mingyao's face faded: "So, what did you see when you looked into my soul this time?"
"Please spare me." Chao Qulai raised an eyebrow. "If there's nothing else, I'll go look for Jiali. The monsters and demons have been really hard to deal with lately."
Tell him.
Mingyao lowered his eyes and looked at the red rope in his hand that he had not taken off.
It's only been a month or so, so why make each other feel uncomfortable?
After finishing the matter, Mingyao took Lin Rui back to the ghost town.
Those bodies have not been buried yet and someone needs to deal with them.
Immortal power was very handy in these places. She also went into the house in the ghost town that she had never set foot in before and took a look.
It looked like someone had lived there before. The bed, wooden cabinet, and dressing mirror were neatly arranged and free of dust.
Mingyao looked around and felt around, but the room was empty and there was nothing in it. Finally, he found a notebook in the cabinet.
When I opened it, I saw that it was filled with names.
After flipping through the pages for a while, Mingyao finally saw Lin Rui's name.
Then it dawned on me.
It was probably the list of people from other worlds that Ran Chuji had written down.
It's hard to tell what my mood is at the moment.
I don’t know what her mood was when she wrote down these names.
Mingyao took the list and went out and returned to the yard.
But there were so many corpses mixed together, and she had never seen them before, so it was really difficult to identify them.
Mingyao tried to ask Lin Rui, and also wanted to use his magical power to wake her up again.
But it's all useless.
Immortal power is useful, but it is not omnipotent. It cannot wake up Lin Rui or save her.
He sighed slowly.
"I'm so sorry, everyone. Our conditions are limited. Please bear with me. I originally wanted to bury you in the sun, but now, with the battle between the immortals and the demons, there are risks no matter where we choose. It's better to stay in this ghost town."
It would be great if there was a place where I could get some sun without being easily found.
Mingyao found a rocking chair, lay on it and chatted with Lin Rui from time to time.
As I was talking, I suddenly remembered that there really was such a place!
Ten mirrors!
After escaping, the young monk was still trapped in the Ten Mirrors, and asked her if she could not return her teachings to the demon clan!
God, she actually forgot about her. I don’t know if the little monk can hold on.
When she was a child, Mingyao watched Journey to the West on TV. Every time she saw the last difficulty, the old turtle crossing the river, she would get angry.
How could Tang Seng and his companions forget such an important matter?
Now she understands.
I really didn't mean it.
The young monk won’t turn evil, will he?
Mingyao hurried back to Yaochi. The treasure bag that contained the ten mirrors was still on Xuanhui. She did not collect Xuanhui's body, so the ten mirrors were naturally still in the formation of Yaochi.
Without wasting any more time, Mingyao made a gesture and forgot to go back.
He drank the water from Yaochi and jumped down.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar. This time she was much faster.
However, the aura of the immortal sound seemed to have disappeared in front of the formation. She stopped for a moment, carefully confirmed, and found that it was indeed not there.
It's about time to join the war.
Mingyao took a quick look and walked around.
She entered the formation and the cave with ease, but she didn't go in. Xuan Hui died in a miserable way, and she was afraid of having nightmares.
Just use your magical power to summon it out.
Fortunately, the ten mirrors are still there.
"I thought you had forgotten me."
As soon as he entered, the young monk's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he was not having an easy time in these ten mirrors.
Mingyao used his magical powers to barely stabilize the interface that was stuck due to a bug.
Feeling quite guilty: "How could it be?"
"It seems I was right in trusting you." The young monk fell to the ground, breathing heavily. "These past few days, I've been able to sense from this world that the demon world has been trying to summon this mirror. If you had come a little later, I guess it would have disappeared completely."
"I'm sorry, a lot has happened recently." Ming Yao squatted down to check on her. "If you don't want to fall into the hands of the demons, I can use my magical powers to make this mirror disappear."
The young monk looked at her and suddenly stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Mingyao felt quite uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes.
"You are going to die." The first sentence the young monk said after he caught his breath was still so unpleasant.
Mingyao was stunned. He didn't expect her to be so powerful.
Didn't deny it.
"Yeah, I'm going to die."
"You still have a chance to live." The young monk looked at her and said seriously, "Didn't I tell you that if you stay with him, your meridians will be torn apart and you will die sooner or later, and your head and body will be separated. Why don't you listen to my advice?"
Mingyao stared at the young monk, unable to catch his breath. After thinking for a long time, he finally found the hexagram from long ago in the depths of his memory.
I have to say, it is quite accurate.
The balance between her physical body and life was broken, and her meridians could not withstand the immortal power, so she would indeed die.
As for the body and head being separated.
Mingyao was silent.
It shouldn't be so tragic that not even a complete body was left. But since they're dead, it doesn't matter whether they leave a complete body or not.
"Ahem." Mingyao rubbed her head. "Don't say that in front of him. He doesn't like to hear it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young monk's eyes became extremely complicated when he looked at Mingyao.
Mingyao thought about it. If it were in modern times, that look would mean, "Stay away from me, you're obsessed with love."
After trying to find some joy in the midst of suffering, Mingyao talked about the matter of placing the corpses.
"That's fine. Why not bury him with me? It will be more lively." The young monk nodded. "As long as the immortal power remains, the ten mirrors will be safe and sound."
Mingyao was very satisfied that the last bit of matter was finally settled.
She didn't stay in the formation for long.
It must be said that this place was not very prosperous for her. As soon as she went out, a familiar smell stopped her.
The invisible fairy sound came back so quickly.
"How come the Destiny Man has time to come here?" Xianyin said softly, "I thought that after we parted that day, the Destiny Man would never come here again."
"Or maybe someone from Heaven is willing to lend me a hand."
What a grand dream.
Mingyao suppressed his urge to complain and turned to leave.
"It's really admirable that Tianmingren is so determined."
"It's just that...it seems like the person I've entrusted my mission to is not the right one."
Haha, he's here to provoke me again. Mingyao's legs were full of energy and he walked faster.
Seeing her like this, a wind blade stopped her.
The breath of immortal music lingered: "Tian Mingren, do you really have no regrets? If you had taken all of Chu Miaomiao's immortal power that day, you would have returned home by now."
Mingyao was really annoyed by such questions, so he unleashed a burst of his magical power and continued moving forward.
"Chu Miaomiao is really lucky... but unfortunately, he doesn't know how to cherish it."
"My dear, do you know that the beloved person you have been protecting with all your heart has done something to you on the day you returned home?"
Ha, do you believe him or do you? Is there something wrong with me or you?
Mingyao rolled his eyes fiercely, he was only one step away from stepping out of the realm of Yaochi.
"Are you happy? Immortal Lord Miaomiao, she is yours."
A sound came from far away and near.
Mingyao paused, knowing clearly that it was a ploy to sow discord, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on the cloud mirror that appeared in front of him.
In the picture, the corners of the man's lips rose almost inaudibly.
"It's pitiful. You wanted to save his life so badly that you even wanted to take him with you."
"It's a pity that my sincerity was misplaced. Do you want to ask what your little immortal king did when he was refining his immortal power that day?"
"Have you never thought about it carefully? Even if I intervened and let Xuan Hui and Pan Xian in, without the various difficulties in the formation and the accumulation of anger, would you really make a decision that would fail at the last moment?"
"Man of destiny, you've endured for two hundred years, but why can't you endure it any longer when the end comes?"
Every word is heartbreaking.
Mingyao's face turned completely cold.
But the words of the fairy sound have not yet ended.
"Heaven's Man, your little Immortal Lord is willing to do anything to keep you. I can't make a deal with you, but do you think he's willing to do it with me?"
"I need to suppress the rebellious immortal within me. I'll see you in ten days, Ayao."
Xuanxiu's expression remained normal when she said this, and she hadn't had the slightest doubt, but now—
"Why are you saying these provocative words?"
"I just can't bear to see my destiny being schemed against."
It's really high-sounding.
"But first, congratulations, man of destiny, you're surviving."
Mingyao returned to that little home.
There is only one day left in the ten-day period.
Everything is a foregone conclusion.
She sat at the table blankly, feeling a little tired.
She thought, maybe Chao Qu was right, she should really have a talk with Xuan Xiu.
Wait from dusk to dawn.
Finally waited for him.
"Ayao." He was dressed in green, tall and graceful. When he pushed the door open and saw her, his eyes lit up and he came over. "Are you waiting for me?"
Mingyao nodded slightly.
There wasn't a trace of blood on him, and you couldn't tell what he had done. When it came to lying, he was a true master.
Mingyao's gaze shifted away and fell on the wooden table. Mingyao thought that she couldn't quarrel with him, otherwise she would fall into the thief's trap.
She could be a little more tactful.
Mingyao thought about it and decided to start with Ms. Ming's topic.
"Miao Miao, I've actually been thinking lately that if I died here, Ms. Ming, having lost her daughter in middle age, would probably die of grief. Although she appears to be cold and strong, she's actually soft-hearted. She loves watching Hachiko and has a strong ability to empathize. I often suspect that my tear incontinence was inherited from Ms. Ming."
"You know what's worse?"
Mingyao designed a small question-and-answer session, but unfortunately, the only audience member was not interested.
I can only ask and answer myself.
"That is, this poor lady couldn't even see her daughter's body."
"Missing, unknown whether he is alive or dead, never to be seen again."
Mingyao quickly pushed back the tears in her eyes, tried to speak lightly, and smiled at Xuanxiu: "Now that you think about it, do you feel that your situation isn't that bad? Look, at least you can still see my remains. Every year during the Ghost Festival, you can still visit my grave."
She tried to tell a bad joke.
But the effect doesn't seem to be very good.
The smile in the Immortal Lord's eyes faded visibly. His voice was very soft, with a hint of pleading: "...Ayao, don't say this. You will live for a very long time."
"But I don't want to live here for a very long time." Ming Yao let out a breath, looked up into his eyes, and interrupted him.
When their eyes met, everything was said without words.
They already knew what they were hiding from each other.
After a pause, she softened her tone as much as possible and confessed everything: "Miaomiao, I won't tell you when I will die, I just want to spend the last period of time with you happily."
"After I die, you may be sad and depressed for a long time because of my death, but time is long, a hundred years, two hundred years, or even a thousand years, it will be so long that you will forget it."
The atmosphere was tense.
Facing each other.
A pair of eyes shed tears first——
"Ayao, even for me, can't you live?"
Mingyao's eyes also turned red. She paused and said, "Miaomiao, I like you, but I can't live here just because of you."
"My fellow countryman died here."
"And here I am, also suffering."
"I have no choice."
The room was silent.
I don’t know how long it took.
"Ayao, I'm never as cruel as you."
The corners of the Immortal Lord's eyes turned red, and he looked at her for the first time, revealing a hint of hatred.
