Chapter 50: First Day of Clearing (Part 7) "You and Immortal Lord Miaomiao, it's either you or me...
Mingyao's gaze shifted between Chuji and Mingyue.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Chu Ji stopped arguing. After glancing at Mingyue, he floated out of Lin Yue's body in a rather bored manner. Without saying anything, he moved to sit aside.
Mingyue was frightened again and hurriedly crawled back, accidentally bumping into Mingyao.
His expression still showed a bit of stiffness after being frightened: "...Sister Mingyao, I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Mingyao glanced at him and pulled him up, brushing the dust off his shoulders and saying soothingly, "It's okay."
He turned sideways and glanced at Xuanxiu behind him, without asking what Mingyue meant.
"You should stay with the Immortal Lord for a while. After the shock you've had today, it would be helpful to learn some breathing techniques to calm your mind and concentrate your energy."
"Oh...oh." Mingyue didn't understand what was going on for a moment, but she listened to Mingyao and walked towards Xuanxiu.
Mingyao glanced at the fallen Lin Yue. The Lin family members looked quite similar. This Lin Yue and the man whom Chu Ji called "Brother Lin" in her dream were still about 50% similar after hundreds of years.
Walk towards Chu Ji.
"Sister." Chu Ji smiled quickly when she saw Ming Yao approaching. "What do you want to ask?"
Mingyao pursed his lips, squatted down, and wrote a few words on the sand under his feet -
"How do I get home?"
She had saved her life, and now it was time for her to fulfill her promise.
Seeing this, Chu Ji glanced at Xuanxiu, who was more than ten steps away from them, and shook his head gently at Mingyao.
Xuanxiu is here, can't you tell me?
Mingyao thought for a moment. Now in this cave, she and Xuanxiu had no way to escape. But Chuji was cunning. If she didn't get the answer now, the situation would be complicated once they got out of the cave and it would be even more difficult to ask.
He simply stood up and waved to Mingyue, who was still awkwardly adjusting her meditation posture.
Mingyue came over in a hurry.
"Ask the Immortal Lord for a magic weapon that can be soundproofed. I want to talk to her alone."
Mingyao spoke openly and confidently.
Chu Ji raised his eyebrows when he heard that and was about to make a joke, but when he looked up, he met Mingyue's eyes.
Mingyue seemed a little afraid of her.
Seeing her looking at him, he glanced at her quickly and then quickly dodged away, which made Chu Ji swallow the teasing words that were about to come out of his mouth.
The atmosphere between one person and one soul is weird.
Mingyao silently stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Mingyue's eyes: "Mingyue?"
"Oh, okay, Sister Mingyao, I've got that." Mingyue finally came to her senses and hurried towards Xuanxiu who was sitting quietly on one side.
As Mingyao said, he quickly and efficiently asked for the magic weapon and handed it to Mingyao, then quickly returned to Xuanxiu.
Ming Yao got the magic weapon and opened it, and a translucent water wall appeared between the two groups of people.
"The soundproof walls have been installed. You can speak now."
"You asked me questions in front of Immortal Lord Miaomiao, using his magical tool." Chu Ji's eyes flickered slightly, and the smile on her face became more charming. "Sister, you are so lucky."
I could see the impatience on Mingyao's face.
Chu Ji stopped talking, but didn't keep the topic a secret any longer: "I told you about Immortal Lord Miao Miao's origins before. Do you still remember?"
An "artifact" that emanates immortal energy and preserves immortal power.
Mingyao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and nodded hurriedly.
"Just remember it. Originally, I wanted my sister to hear from the Immortal Lord herself what a destiny person is. It would be more credible, wouldn't it?"
Chu Ji sighed upon seeing this, "But now, I am the only one who can say it."
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, remembering what happened before: "What a pity, although the Immortal Lord can preserve his immortal power and mobilize 70% to 80% of it for his own use, he is not the master of immortal power after all."
"The one destined by heaven is the true master who can wield this extraordinary power."
Chu Ji's eyes swept over Ming Yao's face, and he said with a hint of flattery: "Sister, you are the destined person."
If that's the case, no wonder Xuanqing asked Xuanxiu to kill her.
Mingyao clenched his hands and met Chuji's gaze: "How could it be me? I don't have any spiritual veins. Besides, what does this have to do with my return home?"
"Of course." Chu Ji straightened up and said firmly, "Sister, believe me. Immortal power is not the spiritual power cultivated by the cultivators here. Why would you need spiritual veins? If you want to verify whether you are the one destined to be here, it's very simple."
"As long as you are willing to be stained with the blood of that immortal body, using the blood as a medium and your heart's desire, you can make the immortal power work for yourself."
"However, sister, remember, you must be 100% willing and willing to do so without even a moment's hesitation before you can mobilize this power. And you are still a mortal, so you can't mobilize this power all at once. You have to do it gradually."
"Sister, do you want to give it a try?"
Hearing this, Mingyao suddenly remembered that in Wenhuan's illusion, Xuanxiu had indeed lent her some immortal power. At that time, he had said exactly the same thing as Wenhuan -
"I don't have a spiritual vein."
"No problem."
Mingyao pursed her lips. Did Xuanxiu already know that she was the destined one at that time?
She closed her eyes hesitantly.
He tried to mobilize the so-called immortal power with all his might, but after trying several times, he didn't feel anything.
Mingyao simply gave up, opened his eyes, and started staring at Chuji: "No response."
Mingyao originally thought that Chuji would be anxious and try hard to explain and prove that she was indeed the destined person.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ji leaned over and said, "That's because you have some distracting thoughts in your mind and don't really believe it."
Mingyao was choked by her words, but did not argue with her.
"Okay, let's skip this part for now. Even if I really believe that I can obtain the immortal power, then what? Can I go home?"
"That's right." Chu Ji actually nodded, "Sister, you're really smart. But you can only go home when you have all ten points of immortal power."
"Of course, if Immortal Lord Miaomiao loses all his immortal power, his immortality will disappear. In short, he will truly die."
"So, sister, you and Immortal Lord Miaomiao are in a life-or-death relationship."
"It's really interesting." Chu Ji squinted his eyes and smiled.
Mingyao's eyelashes trembled.
She did not completely believe Chu Ji's words. After the lesson with the little light ball, she knew that every failure is a learning experience.
However, Chu Ji didn't seem to care whether she believed it or not. Instead, he looked at her with interest and advised, "Sister, what's the good of going home? In fact, when you can skillfully control the immortal power, you can take away nine points of the immortal power, leaving one point for Immortal Lord Miao Miao to prolong his life. With the immortal power, you can unify the immortal mountain and have a handsome man. Isn't this better than going home?"
After getting Chu Ji's answer, Ming Yao did not remove the water wall immediately. When she heard Chu Ji's question, she looked at Chu Ji leisurely.
Suddenly I remembered that before in the Ghost Town Inn, Chu Ji's consciousness was attached to Mingyue and he had a brief conversation with her.
"Where are your family members?"
"My family has all passed away, and I've been alone for a very long time."
"Where is your hometown?"
"I've been away for too long. I've been traveling all these years and I've forgotten everything."
At that time... she thought Chu Ji was talking about Mingyue's background, but now it seems that he was telling the truth?
Often the words we use to persuade others will reflect our own wishes.
Chu Ji could say such words to persuade her, which must mean that he didn't want to go home.
Mingyao suppressed his expression and casually asked, "What about you? Don't you want to go home? We both traveled through time, so why aren't you the one destined to be here?"
After these words were spoken, Mingyao, who had been secretly paying attention to Chu Ji's expression, noticed that her face twisted slightly for a moment.
Her expression was very similar to the one she had shown in Mingyao's memory when she asked her, "After escaping through Tian Xiao's body, can you no longer get away?"
Anger, jealousy, and helplessness.
A look flashed across Chu Ji's face quickly, and then fell silent.
Mingyao lowered his head to hide his slightly moving eyes.
Before, she didn't know why Chu Ji had these emotions towards her, but now, when she knew that they were both time travelers, it seemed that there was a conclusion.
Chu Ji said sarcastically more than once that she was lucky.
Only with comparison can we distinguish between good and bad.
She has a good life.
Then Chu Ji’s life is very bad.
"Today I have chosen a good item. My soul has escaped and I am filled with sorrow. I regret not meeting you before you died. Once you have broken your bones, you will take away your life debt..."
Chu Ji borrowed Lin Yue's body and sang the lyrics of the song in the inn. The first half of the song matched what he had done before.
She was chosen by Chu Ji as a cargo, and Chu Ji wanted to use her to escape.
What about the following sentences?
To whom do I meet these sorrows? And whose life have I taken? Several thoughts flashed through Mingyao's mind.
For Chu Ji, it is obvious that she knows a lot of things that she doesn't know, but how much of the words she says and the memories she can freely manipulate can be trusted is a big question mark.
She even found it difficult to discern Chu Ji's intentions.
She was always passive.
The feeling of powerlessness brought about by this passivity has continued to spread into the dream about the "man of destiny".
So, after she broke free from that dream and saw Chu Ji, an idea suddenly came to her chaotic mind -
Her breakthrough was Chu Ji.
If you want to hear the truth from her, you have to grasp her weakness.
But what is Chu Ji's weakness? Ming Yao wondered.
As she thought about it, she thought of the lyrics.
Chu Ji's plan to use her body to escape has failed, so doesn't that mean she is strong because she has no desires?
At that time, she had just woken up and looked across the empty cave, thinking that there should be someone else besides her and Xuanxiu.
So, she looked at Chu Ji in front of her and asked, "Where is Ming Yue?"
Although Chu Ji has been weakening Mingyue's presence since entering the cave.
But after this incident, Mingyao realized one thing: the goods were originally chosen for two people.
She and Mingyue.
She is the "good stuff" that Chu Ji prepared for himself.
What about the bright moon? Who is it for?
At this moment, their eyes met, and Mingyao pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.
She knew that Chu Ji called her sister and praised her intelligence, but no matter how she tried to hide it, there was an imperceptible contempt in her eyes.
She looked down on her.
Nothing, this is just right. The more contemptuous she was, the more foolish her temptation seemed in Chu Ji's eyes.
So she took advantage of the Jiali incident and suggested that Mingyue deliver a letter for Jiali, just to see Chuji's attitude.
Chu Ji found a very suitable excuse to persuade them - someone was needed to lead the way.
And he presented her with a dilemma: whether to choose Xuanxiu or to choose her to lead the way, neither was a good choice.
However, what she didn't expect was that Xuanxiu took the initiative to speak and broke the deadlock. When their eyes met, she was very surprised that Xuanxiu seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.
Chu Ji's reaction further proved what she was thinking.
Chu Ji took the initiative to point out that the spiritual power on the stone wall belonged to the cultivators and could be used to send messages.
Everything went smoothly and there were no flaws.
But, the more flawless it is, the weirder it is.
With Chu Ji's personality, even with Xuan Xiu's pressure, if Ming Yue had nothing to do with her, even if Ming Yue died on the way to find Jia Li, she probably wouldn't say a word.
The repeated obstructions speak volumes.
Perhaps her only chance to control Chu Ji lies in Mingyue.
There was a moment of silence.
After a long while, Chu Ji forced a smile on his face and replied, "Sister, I'm not as lucky as you, so don't embarrass me with that. As for going home... naturally I want to."
Chu Ji's expression changed, and she began to lie insincerely again: "If you want to take me home, I will drain all the immortal power from Immortal Lord Miaomiao."
"Sister, are you... willing to give it up?"
"Although the Immortal Lord's stance is contrary to yours, he has saved you from danger many times. Are you really willing to let him go?"
A dozen steps away, on the other side of the soundproof wall.
Mingyue, whose limbs were not very coordinated, fiddled with the breathing posture for a while but still felt something was wrong.
He scratched his head and prepared to shamelessly ask the Immortal Lord for advice.
As soon as he turned his head, he noticed that the Immortal King had a strange expression, and there seemed to be some mark on his forehead, which was sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
I rubbed my eyes and looked again, but it was a fair and clean face with a faint smile.
Xuanxiu could naturally feel Mingyue's gaze falling on him.
However, his mind was completely occupied by another voice and he had no intention of paying attention.
"Sister, are you willing to...?"
Chu Ji's eyes swept over him casually, and before Ming Yao noticed, she smiled at him, looking loyal and testing him.
“…”
For a long time, no sound came from the other side.
Until a sigh.
"I...will definitely go home."
Xuanxiu's heart suddenly sank.
The conversation over there continued.
"I see. Then sister, you must make plans early. Although the Immortal Lord has saved you many times, there is no guarantee that he will change his attitude when it comes to matters of life and death."
"Even though my sister is the master of immortal power, there is no guarantee that the Immortal King has not found some other way to restrain you over the years."
Chu Ji spoke with sincerity and heartfelt feeling.
Xuanxiu's heart sank a little bit, and he just waited for Mingyao to speak and then swung the guillotine.
"I know."
The three words fell into my ears clearly.
Immortal Lord Miaomiao's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and the gentle smile froze on his face. In a few breaths, the blood color faded away, as cold as autumn.
