Chapter 161 [Spirit Pearl] Mirror
Seeing this, Ji Changan left with satisfaction. He asked Zhu Jianye to eat the bead, which would not only make Ye Musi embarrassed, but also absorb the last spiritual energy in Zhu Jianye's body, helping Hua Jin to break Mu Chi's seal and go one step further.
Mu Chi never dreamed that in the end it would be his three disciples fighting each other.
Zhu Jianye's hair returned to normal, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened. He rode his sword to Yinyou Valley and headed straight for the West Mountain.
He broke open the door and saw Ye Musi lying on the bed, Lu Lishen sitting on the edge of the bed. They were holding hands, and he stared at the place where their hands were touching. The atmosphere was a little awkward, but it was all dissipated by his anger.
"Elder Juque?" Hua Lingzhi asked in surprise.
When Ye Musi heard these four words, he sat up in shock.
"Aye!" Ye Musi soon felt something was wrong. Zhu Jianye had the five signs of decline and had white hair like himself, but the man in front of him had black hair. Moreover, his aura was not right, mixed with a strange breath.
Ye Musi couldn't put it into words, but he felt it was very familiar.
When Zhu Jianye saw blood on the corner of Ye Musi's mouth, he pointed his sword at Lu Lishen, but was blocked by the plot.
"This is..." Zhu Jianye's frown deepened, "Juque has recognized you as its master?"
What a joke! The sword was forged by his father Zhu Yingyan. He spent more than ten years trying to make Juque recognize him as its master. If anyone is familiar with the sword, it has to be him. How could Juque recognize Lu Lishen?
Lu Lishen turned his head to glance at Zhu Jianye, and Zhu Jianye noticed the immortal seal between Lu Lishen's eyebrows. Only then did he realize that Lu Lishen had ascended.
"Who are you?" Lu Li frowned deeply as he looked at the person pointing the sword at him.
"Aye, what are you doing?" Ye Musi got out of bed, "Put down the sword quickly."
Zhu Jianye did not put away his sword.
"Ye Musi, he hurt you like this, why are you still here?"
Ye Musi was at a loss. Hurt him?
"Who hurt me?"
"Lu Lishen."
"He didn't hurt me, is there a misunderstanding?"
"Ji Changan said that he..." Zhu Jianye didn't say it out loud. He was really embarrassed, but seeing Ye Musi like this, he realized that he had misunderstood something and had fallen into Ji Changan's trap. How could he be so kind as to let him recover to his peak state?
Ji Changan also underestimated Zhu Jianye's obedience and trust in Ye Musi, thinking that Zhu Jianye was still like when he was a child, and would do anything desperate if he was slightly provoked.
"Did you see him?"
"Well, isn't he dead? What happened?"
"He is now the Ghost King of the Underworld," Ye Musi said, "What about you? Your hair and your cultivation..."
As he spoke, Ye Musi's hand unconsciously grabbed the brocade bag on his waist, which contained Zhu Jianye's golden elixir. Fortunately, he did not put it in the Qiankun bag.
"Going to the Demon Realm can be considered a blessing in disguise." Zhu Jianye did not tell anyone that Ji Changan gave him the beads to eat.
"Really?" Ye Musi was obviously a little unconvinced. He must know what the Demon Realm was. How could there be any adventure there?
"Did Ji Changan do something to you?" Ye Musi grabbed Zhu Jianye's wrist, afraid that he would run away.
He has found a way to deal with Ji Changan. The thing he asked Yu Ying'er to find for him in Yandu is now in his Qiankun bag.
"No, what could he do to me? He said something he shouldn't have said and I beat him away." Zhu Jianye's voice was weak and he didn't dare to look at Ye Musi. It was obvious that he was lying.
Ye Musi narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had seen through Zhu Jianye, but he didn't ask in the end. He knew that Zhu Jianye would not say yes, so he would figure it out himself.
Ye Musi let go of his hand and suddenly felt dizzy.
It’s really strange. What happened to him? He didn’t feel unwell, so why was he vomiting blood and why was he so tired?
Lu Lishen helped Ye Musi sit on the bed.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Jianye stepped forward, but was stopped by Lu Lishen and was not allowed to get any closer.
Zhu Jianye looked at Ye Musi worriedly. He hoped that what Ji Changan said was all lies, but looking at Ye Musi's current condition, it didn't seem like that.
"What did you do to your master?"
"No matter what is done, it is not your turn as an outsider to interfere." Lu Lishen said in a cold voice. He didn't know if it was because Zhu Jianye wanted to kill him, but he disliked the man since he first met him. He disliked him even more when he saw that the other party was trying to get close to Ye Musi.
"Outsider? You are the outsider." Zhu Jianye said unhappily. If it weren't for Ye Musi, he would have killed Lu Lishen long ago to eliminate future troubles.
Lu Lishen was about to retort when he heard Ye Musi say.
"A-Li, you can't speak to your uncle like that."
Lu Lishen shut up. Only then did he realize that the person who wanted to kill him was his uncle.
Ye Musi was afraid that Lu Lishen would get jealous, so he placed his hand on the back of his hand and patted it gently. His heart was with Lu Lishen, but he had to put on a show of it.
The three people had different thoughts, and only Hua Lingzhi, who was standing aside, was at a loss. Suddenly, the bracelet on her hand suddenly lit up, and the bud of the dream flower shyly opened. A pink light floated out from inside, whispered something in her ear, and then disappeared.
"Little Flower Spirit said that the goddess has returned, and she brought a demon with her."
"It's Jing Yinchuan." Zhu Jianye said, "He came out of the Demon Realm."
Isn't Jing Yinchuan Lu Lishen's biological father? The famous and calculating Prince Jing has returned.
Ye Musi looked at Lu Lishen, but what he was thinking about was Jing Yinchuan in Jiaozhu's memory, who was a sissy. Although he no longer respected the old man, the stereotype left by Jiaozhu on him was hard to get rid of.
When she laughs, she needs to cover her mouth and raise her index finger.
In Ye Musi's memory, the demons were all very heroic and straightforward in doing anything, unlike Jing Yinchuan who was timid and coy.
"Who is that?" Hua Lingzhi has been in Sunset Island for many years and doesn't know who he is.
Zhu Jianye: "Demon tribe."
"I know."
Zhu Jianye was not very clear about it either. He only heard that Jing Yinchuan was about to sit on the throne of the Demon Lord, but he fell in love with a woman from the cultivation world, gave up the throne that was within his reach, and lived the life of a mortal. Suddenly, the Demon Realm was in turmoil, and the entire demon world fell into crisis. The cultivation world was also affected at that time, but it soon stabilized. Later, the news that Jing Yinchuan had become a sinner in the demon world also spread.
Everyone who is prominent in the world of cultivation knows something about this matter.
"Let's go down the mountain."
"I'm going into seclusion," Zhu Jianye said. Ye Musi couldn't see any problem, but Yan Ru wasn't sure. It would be better for him not to go.
"You're in seclusion right after you got back? Didn't you say you wanted to eat the Nanfeng rice I made?"
"Next time." Zhu Jianye said casually, and as soon as he finished speaking, he left the room.
Ye Musi sighed and was about to stand up, but was held down by Lu Lishen.
"You are weak, don't go."
“I feel full of energy.”
Ye Musi had no idea that he was about to die. He just wanted to finish the matter quickly and enjoy his own world with Lu Li.
He insisted on standing up, and Lu Lishen couldn't stop him.
"You need to rest."
As soon as Lu Lishen finished speaking, Hua Lingzhi said, "No need to go down the mountain, they are coming up."
Hua Lingzhi opened the door and saw two figures.
"Lingzhi, why are you here?" Yan Ru followed her gaze and saw the sick Ye Musi.
Ye Musi didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the goddess, so he performed a cleansing spell and cleaned the blood off Lu Lishen's body.
Several people gathered together.
"This is my son."
Lu Lishen and Jing Yinchuan looked at each other, and then Lu Lishen avoided his gaze and looked at Ye Musi.
"Yuan'er, you've grown up so much." Jing Yinchuan patted Lu Lishen's shoulder in a friendly manner, but was rejected. Not only did he dye his nails black and inlay them with gemstones, but he also raised his orchid finger. "Yuan'er, why do you despise me, your father? Do you know that your father has been looking forward to you in the Demon Realm, but he has never been able to bring you here, eh..."
After saying this, he shook his head with great regret.
"Don't tease him," Yan Ru said with a smile, "He has forgotten everything. It doesn't matter. Let's talk about business first."
As soon as Yan Ru finished speaking, Jing Yinchuan stood at attention.
"This is a reflective mirror," Yan Ru took out a mirror, "It's the reverse side of the Forecast Mirror. It's mainly used to devour the past, but it also has the function of the Forecast Mirror. However, the mirror is saturated with turbid energy, and I can't remove it. Ah Si, you..."
Yan Ru was thinking, since Ye Musi possessed the power of the spirit pearl and had a spirit hidden in his body, could he remove the turbid breath in the mirror?
Ye Musi took the reflecting mirror, infused his spiritual power into it, and dissolved the turbid breath.
Yan Ru's face lit up with joy, and she immediately cast a spell, using a mirror to find the luminous beads.
Suddenly, a large amount of smoke and dust appeared on the mirror surface, floating in the air and gathering together.
"Wow--" The sound of a baby crying reached everyone's ears. They all looked up and saw Ye Yuanqing holding the swaddling clothes without a trace of joy on his face.
"My dear..."
Ye Musi saw the woman's face clearly. Although her complexion was pale and her black hair was soaked with sweat, the tenderness between her eyebrows remained. She was his mother.
Ye Musi's heart suddenly sank, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. The baby in Ye Yuanqing's arms was him, and the mirror reflected the scene of his birth.
"Yuan Qing, let me see him." Yu Mengqing raised her sweat-soaked hand and touched the swaddled little hand. She knew she was dying and burst into tears. "Name him Mu Si..."
After saying this, he lowered his hands and closed his eyes.
After leaving Hidden Valley, she gained freedom, but this belated freedom came too late for her to enjoy. She only hoped that her children would not live as restricted a life as she did.
She let her child live her belated freedom for her. She named him Mu Si, hoping that his belated freedom would not be bound by a carriage. She wanted Ye Mu Si to gallop like a horse and enjoy freedom.
"Qingqing..." Ye Yuanqing had a sad face, and the baby in his arms cried loudly, grieving with him.
"Wow-wow!"
"Madam, she's dead!" The midwife's hands were shaking with blood.
Yu Mengqing behaved a little abnormally during her pregnancy. Yan Ru checked her pulse but shook her head, saying that it was her fate.
Ye Yuanqing's expression was filled with grief. After handing the child to the midwife, he personally arranged Yu Mengqing's clothes. His movements were gentle and careful, as if he was afraid to disturb her final sleep. Tears blurred his eyes, but he still tried to remain calm.
"Qingqing, how could you leave me like this..." Ye Yuanqing's voice was low and trembling. He gently stroked Yu Mengqing's face, as if hoping to wake her up in this way. However, Yu Mengqing no longer responded. Her body gradually became cold, and her once gentle face now seemed so distant.
"How could you bear to abandon me and the child..."
"Sir!" the midwife exclaimed, "This!"
The baby in the midwife's arms was still breathing just now, but now it was motionless, and its face turned from red to white.
Before he could get over the sadness of Yu Mengqing's departure, he received another piece of bad news.
He reached out to the baby in the cradle with trembling hands, but found that Ye Musi's breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
