Chapter 44: First Day of the Rain (I) “You dare to tell her that she is your heaven…
Mingyao still remembers that Tianxiao.
He had been on the run for several years and had killed many women. Finally, he was killed in front of her by a monk who was exorcising demons.
Chu Ji is... that Tian Xiao?
Mingyao broke out in a cold sweat. How could it be possible? If she was Tian Xiao, how could she become a great demon with Ji Meng's bloodline?
Chu Ji didn't explain much. She squatted in front of Ming Yao's body, lowered her head and whispered softly, "My sister and I are destined to be together."
"That day, I was trapped in Tian Xiao's body, starving to death. Suddenly, I smelled my sister's scent, and I couldn't help myself. Even though I knew it was bait set by those monks, I still wanted to see her."
She reached out and touched Mingyao's face reluctantly. "However, thanks to those monks who cut off the head of the Tianxiao, I finally regained some consciousness and recognized my sister."
"Different from everyone here."
"Sister, you are from another world."
She pursed her lips and smiled, then stood up and looked at Mingyao, her eyes shining brightly: "Sister, only you can save me."
Chu Ji is shorter than Ming Yao, with a rounder face and naturally slightly upturned lips, giving her a very typical yandere look.
Mingyao felt his scalp tingling when she kept calling him "sister".
"...How do you know I'm from another world? How can I save you? Should I just risk my life to save you?"
Just like what's often written in novels and comics, is her blood some kind of divine blood? Mingyao glanced at his own body and felt a little overwhelmed.
There were already problems with her physical body, and now she was bleeding profusely. If she didn't bleed to death, her other organs would be damaged to some extent.
If she only needed to use her body to bleed, Mingyao could discuss with her and not use such an extreme one-time solution.
Isn’t a green and environmentally friendly recyclable method good?
"...Sister, just think of it as my talent." Chu Ji's eyes swept over Ming Yao's face, "I can see that you are different."
After saying that, she looked down at the magic circle that was stained red by Mingyao's blood. The light blood color had spread over a quarter of the area.
"Sister, don't worry. The wound I made isn't very deep. I will stop the bleeding when your blood is enough to activate the formation."
Chu Ji finished speaking, and his gaze returned to Ming Yao, a bit of shyness showing on his face, and he comforted him considerately: "I will need this body in the future. How can you save me by bleeding? I still need to use your body to help me escape from this endless purgatory."
"I have been trapped in this Ji Meng demon body for too long."
"Sister, now in this world, only your blood can help me open this magic circle, and only your body can match mine."
Chu Ji's voice was distant. He looked up at the cliff above, and a few tears squeezed out of his eyes, like a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken: "So, sister, I have no choice but to sacrifice you."
Mingyao didn't pay attention to her exaggerated performance, her mind was working very fast.
Tian Xiao, from Ji Meng's demon body to her current physical body.
Mingyao grasped the connection between Chuji's chaotic words: "...These are not your original bodies?"
"Where is your original body?"
"Are you a demon or a monster?"
Mingyao asked urgently.
Chu Ji was unhurried. She blinked, wiped the tears from her face, turned around and looked at Ming Yao for a long while, but did not answer her question. She just changed the subject lightly: "Sister, just treat me as a ghost. There is no need to worry about me so much."
"Sister, why don't you ask me properly at this time, I have taken over your body, where is your soul going?"
She looked down with a half-smile.
Mingyao was startled, and followed her gaze, looking at the demonic body of Ji Meng under his feet——
“…”
Now that things have come to this, how could she not understand?
Mingyao's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Don't be afraid, sister." Seeing Mingyao's resistance and opposition, Chu Ji's eyes showed a bit of pity. "You will get used to it in about a few decades. Once you get used to it, it will be fine."
Mingyao froze slightly.
What kind of consolation is this? It’s better not to say it.
She bit her lip, trying her best to calm herself down and not be led astray by Chu Ji's words.
What she can do now is really limited. Her only hope is that Immortal Lord Miaomiao can find her before the formation is completed.
And now, I can't run away anyway. Instead of begging Chu Ji to let me go, I might as well ask something else. Maybe there will be other ways to survive.
Besides...
Mingyao calmed down and talked about other things: "Since you don't want to talk about yourself, what about Xuanhui? Didn't you say you wanted to expose his true face?"
"Back then, when you made a feint to the east and attacked in the west, avoiding Xuan Hui and coming to find me, was it also because you wanted to capture me and exchange bodies?"
Mingyao thought about it and finally mentioned the past.
Even though she now guessed that the little light ball and Xuan Hui wanted her to die, she still didn't know why they did that.
If I can escape this disaster, I will always have to face this matter.
Why not ask this insider now?
"Yes." Chu Ji seemed to be very easy to talk to because his plan was about to succeed. He admitted it readily, "What else do you think, sister? Are Xuan Hui and I conspiring to put on a show?"
Mingyao paused. She had seriously thought about it: "...If it wasn't a conspiracy, then why didn't Xuanhui kill you? I clearly saw your soul fly away with my own eyes back then."
When Xuan Hui was mentioned, Chu Ji's eyes showed an unconcealable coldness: "He wanted to kill me, but unfortunately, he owed me a lot of karma, so he could only spend a lot of effort to lock me here."
Sure enough, she guessed correctly. The immortal weapon that was depreciated in the immortal mountain fell into Shuangli Town in order to lock Chu Ji.
"Are these the immortal artifacts that were transported to the Lin family back then?"
The death of Lin Yue's family——
Is it revenge?
Their eyes met, and they "knew each other's minds". Chu Ji raised his eyebrows: "Sister, don't look at me like that."
"It wasn't me who killed the Lin family." She curled her lips, "The Lin family helped Xuan Hui, what good could they have done?"
"Sister, don't worry about people who don't matter to you. You wasted nearly two hundred years here, and in the end, Xuan Hui still succeeded. Why not give your body to me back then? You still had the strength to fight. Of course, it's not too late now. When I get out, I will avenge you."
He succeeded? What did he succeed in?
Mingyao's heart skipped a beat and he asked the question.
Chu Ji's expression suddenly became a little strange.
She circled Mingyao's soul, carefully examining her repeatedly. Seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, she finally spoke, somewhat incredulously: "You already have Immortal Lord Miaomiao by your side, and you don't even know what they want?"
What does this have to do with Xuanxiu? Mingyao frowned.
"Pfft, I originally thought you just didn't know Xuan Hui's past and the past events here, but I never thought you didn't even know your own identity."
"Didn't Immortal Lord Miaomiao tell you?"
It's another ambiguous and confusing conversation.
Mingyao didn't say anything in response to her. She was a little tired of this kind of confusing temptation.
I could see her impatience.
Chu Ji didn't use the lawsuit as a riddle this time, but he still didn't give Ming Yao an answer: "Since you don't know, the rules here restrict me. There are some things I want to tell you, but I can't."
"But I won't break my promise to you. As for Xuan Hui, you should also know what kind of person he is."
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Sister, I will show you myself."
Chu Ji floated in front of Ming Yao, and pressed his forehead against hers. The memories that once belonged to Chu Ji were forcefully instilled into Ming Yao's mind.
"Chu Ji."
It hurts so much. It is not a pleasant feeling to have your consciousness invaded by someone else. Mingyao actually experienced the feeling of Mingyue having her consciousness controlled.
After waiting for a long time and finally coming to her senses, she realized that she had returned to Chu Ji's memory.
Chu Ji curled up in a cave covered with talismans in the form of a soul, unable to move.
Not far away was the face Mingyao had been looking at for two hundred years.
Xuan Hui.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the soul in the cave with indifference and contempt.
Mingyao had only seen such a look once in the past two hundred years, and that was a few days ago when he drew his sword to kill her.
That look didn't look like he was looking at a living thing.
"Chu Ji, sparing your life is already a mercy on my part."
The immortal king who is high above everyone else, every word is dotted with obvious charity.
"Oh, really? It's mercy, or you can't kill me."
Chu Ji, however, didn't buy it. Compared to how she restrained herself in front of Ming Yao, she was much more unbridled now: "I'm of no use to you now, and you imprisoned me. Who did you ask to help you deal with my body?"
"Chuji!"
Xuan Hui interrupted her coldly.
"You have committed evil and heretical acts, attempting to refine your soul into a demon. Your body is also tainted with demonic energy. The Immortal Mountain cannot tolerate you."
There was a cold and solemn look in Xuan Hui's eyes and eyebrows, and he looked righteous.
Chu Ji looked at him like this and suddenly laughed.
"Xuan Hui Immortal Lord." Chu Ji said sarcastically, "A hundred years ago, when you united with the Immortal Mountains to suppress Miao Miao Immortal Lord, you had the same expression on your face."
"Even though I haven't seen it myself, I can imagine it must be just as disgusting as it is now."
Chu Ji spoke out loudly, and the coldness in Xuan Hui's eyes gradually deepened.
Even though it was a memory from the past, the scene still made Mingyao sweat. The two of them were so close together, the tension was so intense that Mingyao was afraid Xuanhui would draw his sword and stab Chuji to death.
But in the end, Xuan Hui, who was always serious, forced a mocking smile at Chu Ji: "Chu Ji, the overall situation has been decided. No matter how hard you struggle, you can only stay here for the rest of your life."
These words seemed to have hit Chu Ji's heart precisely.
Black energy was visibly emanating from between her eyebrows, a sign of possessedness. However, as if she was restrained by something, the black energy did not flow down from between her eyebrows, but lingered there.
Xuan Hui didn't say anything more to her and turned away.
Mingyao stayed with Chuji in this extremely narrow cave that could barely accommodate one person.
The talismans pasted in the cave have a suppressive effect on Chu Ji.
Whenever she relaxed a little, she would be hurt by the golden light emitted by the talisman.
The sun rises and sets.
Mingyao watched Chu Ji's eyes change from anger to resentment, and then even the resentment could no longer be sustained, leaving only dullness.
Mingyao felt sad.
Xuan Hui's face twisted for a moment in her mind. After being together for nearly two hundred years, it was even harder for her to imagine that his methods were so... vicious.
Mingyao couldn't bear to look any longer. Every time she looked at Chu Ji, her heart sank even more.
If Xuan Hui's temperament is like this, then if he fails to kill her once, he will probably try twice.
Just as she was distracted, Chu Ji, who had almost lost all his vitality, started to move.
"Get...away."
Having not spoken for many years, Chu Ji's voice was hoarse and dry.
Outside the cave talisman, there was a field goblin squatting. It looked like a mountain monkey and was extremely strong. It stared at Chu Ji in the cave with a fierce look.
Although the description was slightly changed, Mingyao still recognized it.
This was the Tian Xiao that was killed in front of her.
But the Tian Xiao at that time was much thinner than it is now, and its eyes were more crazy, as if it had gone mad.
"Get...away." Chu Ji frowned, her face gloomy, trying to drive away the monster that was looking at her. A long-lost fierceness flashed in her dull eyes.
But she was just a soul trapped in the cave, thin, short, and scarred, and had no power over Tian Xiao.
The field goblin didn't care about her cat-like meow, and lingered at the entrance of the cave, only looking vigilantly at the restrictions at the entrance.
The ban was shining with golden light and looked very powerful.
It didn't look like something that Tian Xiao, who hadn't fully transformed, could handle. Mingyao's gaze fell on Chu Ji, wondering why she was so nervous.
Mingyao even frowned, and Chuji took the initiative to trigger the talisman that he usually carefully avoided. He was hurt by the talisman and was in great pain, which also scared the Tianxiao outside.
Is this... driving away that field goblin?
After Chuji's actions, the wandering field goblin finally moved a little further away, but it had not completely gone away.
When night fell, Tian Xiao's demonic power grew stronger and he approached Chu Ji again.
This time, Chu Ji's face turned pale, and he just stared at the field goblin without saying anything to drive it away.
Mingyao looked at the golden light in the cave and had a vague guess.
As the two confronted each other, Chu Ji's intimidation was ultimately useless. The Tian Xiao adjusted the demonic power in his body and quickly swung his claws towards Chu Ji. His movements were so fast that they left an afterimage.
The talismans in the cave were like nothing to the evil demon, and the shadows of its sharp claws fell on Chu Ji's soul in an instant.
"Xuan Hui--" Chu Ji moaned in pain, squeezing out Xuan Hui's name between his teeth with overwhelming hatred.
However, the Tian Xiao let out a shrill cheer. Realizing that the talisman was useless, he moved faster. With demonic power attached to his claws, he viciously dragged Chu Ji's soul out.
"Sister, monsters like Tian Xiao love to eat the flesh and blood of human women, and occasionally eat their souls."
"Did you just ask me if I was a demon or a monster?"
"Sister, I'm not a demon or a monster. I'm a human like you."
Chu Ji's voice was faintly audible in my ear.
Mingyao looked at the cave covered with talismans and felt a chill in his heart.
She had a preconceived notion and always thought Chu Ji was a demon, so she naturally thought these talismans were used to lock up demons.
But now——
"This talisman is for prisoners." Mingyao heard his voice trembling slightly.
"Yes, sister, Xuan Hui couldn't kill me, so he wanted to kill someone else with a knife, letting those monsters eat me."
"It's just that I'm not destined to die. Sister, I'm much more useful than you. I was born with spiritual veins and I've cultivated the art of demon transformation, which allowed me to fight for my life. Therefore, your body is best for me."
"Sister, if you can't resist Xuan Hui, then let me do it."
Chu Ji used a sweet tone to cover up his own screams as Tian Xiao was devouring his soul bit by bit not far away.
But before long, when she was about to say something, her voice suddenly weakened.
Mingyao only heard a quick "Damn it," and then Chu Ji's presence completely disappeared from his ears.
But she was still dreaming.
The Tianxiao had completely devoured Chu Ji's soul.
After a hearty meal, the monster's hairy face showed a satisfied look. It stretched, but did not leave. Instead, it shook its hair and shrank back into the cave where Chu Ji was imprisoned.
Mingyao, who knew the future, looked at this Tian Xiao and roughly guessed what would happen next.
The demonized soul suddenly acquired a demonic body.
That's why he became Tian Xiao.
Sure enough, after just a few breaths, Tian Xiao, who had eaten and drunk his fill, suddenly sat up. His pair of dark eyes split into two, one wild and untamable, the other fierce and cruel.
Fighting spirit in the body.
Mingyao recalled what was recorded in the books of the immortal mountain.
Those with two souls in one body will fight each other until death.
**
"Damn it."
Beyond memory.
Chu Ji looked at Immortal Lord Miaomiao who was rising into the air without stepping into the formation, and felt that he was extremely troublesome.
She hadn't thought he would come so soon.
If the formation had not been set up and could not be interrupted, she would probably have been killed by now.
"Let her go." The immortal king in the air had an ugly look on his face.
Looking at this face that looked so much like Xuan Hui, Chu Ji couldn't help but feel a bit of hatred.
Relying on the fact that she and Mingyao now share memories, she set up a formation again. Immortal Lord Miaomiao was afraid to act rashly and could not do anything to her for the time being.
Evil comes from the courage.
"Let her go?" Chu Ji laughed heartily, "My Lord, it would be more dangerous for my sister to follow you."
"I just wanted to borrow her body, and I never harmed her life."
"And you?"
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, as your destined person, I will kill her with my own hands to protect the immortal power in your body from being taken away by the destined person."
"Why are you pretending to be so affectionate with me here?"
"If I let her go, do you dare to tell her about your relationship?"
