Chapter 87 The Truth (Part 3) "We are all your defective products, Ming...
The evil ghost, named Lin Rui, was born in Shuangli Town and is Lin Yue's biological sister. She was also a fellow disciple of Chu Ji.
"Most of those forcibly summoned here are transmigrated, and some are like me."
"I came here two hundred years before you."
Lin Rui took out a yellowed piece of paper covered with dust from a corner of the abandoned house where miscellaneous items were piled up. He rolled it up and held it in his hand. He turned around and looked at the bones in the yard. Finally, his eyes fell on Ming Yao. She was much calmer than before.
"After living in Shuangli Town for more than ten years...Ran Chuji found me."
About 340 years ago
"Are you Lin Rui?"
Lin Rui's timing of soul traveling was good.
Although Immortal Lord Miaomiao disappeared after slaying the Demon King, the human world has ushered in a long period of peace.
No one has ever experienced being used as bait like Mingyao.
Lin Rui lived here, had relatives and neighbors, and when he grew up again, he had already gotten used to life in this world.
This is completely different from Mingyao who only wants to go home.
After she reached adulthood, she left town and went to the city to test her spiritual veins. Although her talent wasn't exceptional, she still had the opportunity to cultivate. However, there were many people with spiritual veins in this world, and not everyone could find a good place.
It's just like college graduates in modern society, it all depends on chance.
Originally, Lin Rui thought that although his family was not rich now, at least he could make a living by refining equipment and live a fairly comfortable life.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
That year, the immortal from Xuyou Immortal Mountain came to the town to recruit disciples.
She went there with the intention of seeing the world, but she never expected that she would actually be noticed by someone.
"Lin Rui..." The woman who spoke was beautiful. She whispered her name softly, and her smile revealed a small dimple, which was very friendly. "My last name is Ran, and my name is Chu Ji. You can just call me Senior Sister Chu Ji."
"Senior Sister Chu Ji..." Lin Rui was a little nervous. It was her first time seeing the legendary immortal who could fly with a sword, and her heart was beating fast.
"Your talent is average, but your luck is great." Senior Sister Chuji spoke directly, but without sounding offensive, she seemed frank. "It's perfect for you to cultivate in Xuyou Immortal Mountain. Are you willing?"
Her brother who came with her was very excited when he heard this, as if his own disappointing child had been admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University, and he wanted to agree immediately.
Lin Rui was a little hesitant.
She is rather introverted and doesn't like to work hard. Whenever she encounters difficulties that she can't solve, she just wants to lie down and rest. She has a lazy personality.
Cultivating immortality.
Although it sounded curious, it was tiring to think about. I might even have to fight for my fate with the will of heaven, so I wanted to decline.
But this Senior Sister Chuji seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. The moment she opened her mouth to refuse, she took the initiative to speak and gently comforted her: "Don't rush to answer. Go back and think about it first. It won't be too late to give me an answer in three days."
Lin Rui initially thought it didn’t matter, three days would be enough.
But she really underestimated the status of the four words "Xuyouxianshan" in the family and in the hearts of her parents and brothers.
In the past three days, she had been asked to pack up and go to the fairy mountain to practice, and her ears were almost callused from hearing it.
However, she had made up her mind and didn't want to change it.
"I turned her down again."
Mingyao looked at Lin Ruiqing's pale and lifeless face in front of her, lowered her eyes, and took over her words: "What changed your mind?"
There was a dead look in Lin Rui's eyes. It was early morning and a thin layer of mist stood between them, making them look particularly creepy.
"...What else could it be?" Lin Rui walked towards Ming Yao. "Just like if I told you my identity, you would be willing to go with me."
"Back then, when Ran Chuji told me that she had also traveled through time, I was willing to go with her."
Both are time travelers.
This is the best thing to connect them.
As long as you say it, trust will naturally grow.
"I have been practicing in the Immortal Mountain for about ten years. During my journey, I wanted to return to Shuangli Town to visit my relatives here. But Ran Chuji stopped me every time."
"She said that as long as I successfully build my foundation, my soul will be able to leave my body. Then I can open the valve of time and space with her and return to our real home. Everything here is just an illusion. Every time I look at it, I will worry more. Now that I have made a decision, there is no turning back."
Mingyao lowered his eyes after hearing the familiar words.
Actually, this lie wasn't very clever. To separate one's soul from one's body, one must cultivate to the Golden Elixir stage. Chu Ji was so anxious, he must have some ulterior motive.
Unfortunately, Lin Rui did not discover it back then.
She followed Chu Ji's words and practiced diligently. Then, on the day of building her foundation, she was taken to the ghost town by Ran Chu Ji without stopping.
Lin Rui clenched her hands, her palms were scratched by sharp nails and blood was flowing out, but she was completely unaware.
"The ghost town is eerie. I was scared the first time I came here, too," Lin Rui murmured softly. The memories were too cruel for her. She spoke slowly and cheerfully, "But soon I wasn't afraid anymore because it was too painful."
Lin Rui released his hand and pointed at Mingyao's forehead. Then, two lines of blood and tears fell from her eyes. "Xuan Hui's spiritual power penetrated directly from Baihui acupoint, like an icy knife, tearing my soul from my body."
"They asked me to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage because they were afraid that I wouldn't be able to endure such pain, and my soul would collapse, and I wouldn't be able to help them conduct experiments and find someone."
"And I'm not the first one to have this treatment."
Mingyao clenched his hands, trembling slightly uncontrollably: "You said that Ran Chuji was in cahoots with them, which means -"
"What she meant was that she found people who came from the same place as her and presented them to Xuan Hui and the others, testing them one by one to see if they were the destined ones."
"They only know the birth date of the destined person, but they can't confirm it."
“So we have to try them one by one.”
"Not only to confirm the identity, but also to try to use the destiny man to better control the immortal power."
"That Immortal Lord Miaomiao was sealed away, leaving only a layer of immortal power to protect his body. Our souls must be baptized by that layer of immortal power, and our bodies must also endure the forced infusion of immortal power."
“Except for the Heavenly Man and Immortal Lord Miaomiao, no one can withstand that immortal power for a long time.”
"They used countless people to try it. Although they were not truly destined to be people, they still found some rules for enduring immortal power."
"One of them was discovered by those sisters." Lin Rui pointed to the small skeletons in the corner of the courtyard. "They came here a few years later than me. One of them was tortured by the demon until she lost her mind. Ran Chuji told her that as long as she obeyed, she could go home. So when her soul was stripped away, she didn't resist at all. She became the one who endured and controlled the immortal power the longest. The rest of them were very repulsive and could hardly mobilize any immortal power. Not long after, they died here."
"As for me, because I am a soul-transmigrating person, immortal energy cannot enter my physical body. In fact, I can live longer."
"This is not a good thing, this is torture."
"We are all your defective products, Mingyao."
It feels like being in a chilly winter.
Lin Rui's words were calm, but Mingyao's eyes were sore and his lips and teeth were trembling slightly.
But he hadn't finished yet.
Lin Rui walked from the yard to Mingyao's side and looked at the gray sky of the ghost town.
"Later, they had many more ways to identify the destined people. Ran Chuji found all the otherworldly people in the world for more than a hundred years, but he still couldn't find you."
"Ran Chuji was the first person to come here. Perhaps the initial formation wasn't accurate, so her birthday differed from ours by one day. However, she was gifted, and after practicing, she was able to find us through our auras. That's why she made a deal with Xuan Hui and the others, and survived by stepping on our corpses."
"It was just like trying to get the skin of a tiger. The people from another world tried everything, but after failing, they finally took her in the end."
Lin Rui smiled coldly.
The person she hated most in this world was her.
Mingyao pinched her fingertips, and the immortal power in her body was like hot magma, burning her lungs over and over again.
She felt a little uncomfortable and rubbed her eyes quickly, forcibly suppressing the tears and changing the subject: "Then when I first saw you... were you unconscious?"
Mingyao still remembered that Lin Rui was leaning over and gnawing on her flesh, and he was chasing her and wanted to eat her clean.
"No, I'm not unconscious. I'm just crazy. After I turned into a demon, they left me here to deal with these corpses. I was driven crazy." Lin Rui pursed his lips. "Now I'm somewhat lucid. Meeting you is a blessing from heaven."
At this point, Lin Rui sighed softly: "I don't know how long I can stay awake. If I go crazy, just kill me."
Mingyao lowered his head and did not respond to her words: "Since you know how to leave, why don't you leave with me."
Hearing this, Lin Rui turned his stiff gaze towards her: "Are you stupid? I'm already dead, my body is gone."
"If I go crazy again, I won't be myself anymore, so you have to kill me."
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere became gloomy for a moment.
Lin Rui silently looked away and asked her, "Are you Chinese?"
"yes."
"That's enough. Dying completely in your hands can be considered as going home."
"...How is this calculated?" Mingyao chatted with her intermittently, accepted her kindness and eased his own emotions.
"National ships and aircraft belong to national territory. Given the current special circumstances, please bear with me."
Mingyao blinked and looked up at Lin Rui.
It took him a while to realize she was joking: "This is... too forced."
Lin Rui stood up and took over her words: "There's nothing we can do. We can only do this reluctantly."
As if afraid that Mingyao would be unable to do it, Lin Rui added seriously: "I'm not trying to help you, I just want revenge."
"They've gone to such great lengths to find the destined one. How can we let them succeed? Of course you have to go back."
"I will only feel happy when you go back."
Lin Rui lowered his voice and stretched out his hand towards her: "So, no matter what, you can't let me down. You must go back."
"Let's go. We have the blueprints and the cause and effect have been broken. It's time for us to head to Yaochi. We must get there before them."
"who?"
"The evil spirit of the traitorous immortal... If you and I disappear at the same time, she will definitely be able to guess where we went."
"There's no need to be afraid of this—" After all, Miaomiao has woken up now, and our combat power is still very strong.
Before Mingyao could finish her words, Lin Rui lowered his eyes, pulled Mingyao's hand, cut her palm, and blood dripped onto the drawing.
Lin Rui's cut was very deep, and the sudden pain made Mingyao shut up. She was held tightly by Lin Rui and could not break free at all.
They could only watch as the blood-soaked blueprint emitted white light, killing both of them at the same time.

[Blue Sky Demon Mansion]
The shadow's expression changed completely.
The wails of the rebellious evil spirits that were suppressed along with her fell into her ears exactly as they were, through Xuanxiu's immortal power as a bridge.
What she seeks has never been the benefit of one person, and she has reached her current situation step by step.
She couldn't have any fewer of her kind.
Forcefully curling his lips——
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, why are you so impulsive?"
"You are looking for Miss Mingyao, and we are looking for her too."
"We all have the same goal. Calling for war and killing like this is not the way to cooperate."
What the black shadow said always confused right and wrong.
Xuanxiu didn't want to argue with her anymore, and the magical power in his hand became even stronger.
Seeing that he didn't respond, the black shadow's eyes darkened slightly. After a few breaths of stalemate, he finally said nothing more and held a yellowed piece of paper in his hand.
"Miao Miao Immortal Lord, I can tell you the whereabouts of Miss Mingyao. However, you cannot go to this place."
There was a hint of teasing in her eyes. "Outside the Immortal Mountain, beneath the Jade Pool, you slew the demons of the demon world back then, and you hold the blood of many ancient demon beasts. Some of their aura still lingers here..."
"If you go, I'm afraid you won't get any good results."
"Not only can we not take Miss Ming away, I'm afraid we might even harm her."
