Chapter 162 [Spirit Pearl] Past Events
In the small courtyard outside the town, Yan Ru was casting a spell to awaken the spirit pearl. Her spiritual power was too weak, unlike its former heyday. She tried many times but failed to awaken the spirit pearl.
Jing Yinchuan supported Yan Ru.
"I once read about a resurrection technique in an ancient book. It involves splitting a person into two, one being the main body and the other being the secondary body, which represents the person's lifelong cultivation. The main body can be kept alive in the cradle, and when the time is right, it can be fully nourished and merged with the secondary body, thus resurrecting them."
Yan Ru was thoughtful, and then she actually split the spirit bead into two, one for the main bead and the other for the luminous bead.
"But where can we find a swaddling cloth?" Mu Chi asked standing aside.
As soon as Mu Chi finished speaking, Ye Yuanqing's voice came from outside the house.
"Goddess! Please, Goddess, save my son's life!"
Yan Ru opened the door and let him in.
"The birth wasn't going smoothly?"
"Qingqing has already..." Ye Yuanqing pursed his lips, a tear fell, and he didn't say anything else. He handed the swaddling clothes in his arms to Yan Ru, "Please, goddess, save my son."
Yan Ru grasped the swaddling baby's arms and found that he was no longer breathing. She turned her head and looked at Jing Yinchuan, then turned back and said, "Mother is gone, child is gone."
She had said this when she was taking Yu Mengqing's pulse. This is fate. If you want to change it forcibly, you will have to pay a huge price.
"Qingqing is gone, and the child is the one she left me..." Ye Yuanqing, who had always been strong-willed and only knelt for his parents, now knelt before Yan Ru, "Goddess..."
Jing Yinchuan knew a little about Yu Mengqing and Ye Yuanqing's affairs, and knew that Yu Mengqing left Yinyou Valley for freedom. He was worried that Yan Ru would not be able to bear to let Yu Mengqing's child return to a place where he would be confined. He said, "I can save him, but..."
"Just what? As long as it can save my son, I'm willing to do anything!"
"He can't see his relatives."
If this swaddling clothes is to become the carrier of the resurrection spirit pearl, then it cannot meet its relatives, otherwise it will absorb the luck of its relatives and strengthen its own luck. Although this is a good thing, it is easy to be discovered if it goes against the will of heaven and changes fate.
"Okay, I won't see him. I won't see him..."
After Ye Yuanqing finished speaking, Jing Yinchuan did not give anyone a chance to react and injected the main bead into Ye Musi's body.
"Achuan, you!"
Yan Ru didn't know what to say. Putting the spirit pearl into the swaddling clothes could indeed save his life, but the child was born with a weakness and his life span was lower than that of an ordinary person. Not only would it be difficult to take good care of the spirit pearl, but it was also very likely that the baby would die and would not even have a chance to be reincarnated.
"Aru wants to save Lingzhu and the child, but there are not so many things in the world that can be best of both worlds. What you gain, you have to pay a corresponding price. Although this plan is risky, Lingzhu can be resurrected, and the child can live too."
But he didn’t live to be forty.
If the child could ascend to become an immortal before the age of forty, he might still be able to survive, but usually the person who serves as the carrier would have his cultivation sucked away, making it difficult for him to make progress.
"What spirit bead?"
Jing Yinchuan explained the whole thing. Ye Yuanqing frowned slightly, but didn't say anything in the end. As long as his child could survive, he would do anything.
Yan Ru: "This child has been through the gates of hell and has the master's pearl attached to him. He must return to the valley."
Upon hearing this, Mu Chi clasped his fists and saluted: "I am willing to accept him as my second disciple and take him back to the valley to recuperate."
"That's perfectly fine," Yan Ru smiled, handing the baby to Mu Chi. "If he doesn't absorb enough spiritual energy, he won't be able to hold the Nightlight Pearl. Unless absolutely necessary, he will be the next Valley Master."
Mu Chi was obviously stunned for a moment. He already had another apprentice, who was also entrusted to him by Yan Ru herself. In contrast to the baby in his arms, the baby was of a different species.
Since its establishment, Yinyou Valley has been claiming to be equal for all beings, but the name is just a name, and it is different from the hearts of the people in the valley. They do not have the idea of equality for all beings, mostly because their families have hatred with the demon clan and the monster clan.
Hatred must naturally be avenged, and Yinyou Valley has no jurisdiction over it, so the valley is alienated and does not accept demons, let alone alien species.
Mu Chi completely inherited the fine traditions of his master and held the idea that all beings are equal, so when Yan Ru handed Hua Jin to him, he accepted her as his disciple.
He knew Hua Jin's identity and also knew clearly Yan Ru's intention, which was to give the aliens a chance. All living beings are equal, and aliens are no exception. He also thought so.
However, the people in Yinyou Valley did not think so. They felt that the alien species was a scourge and should be eradicated as soon as possible. Therefore, Mu Chi did not tell anyone about Hua Jin's identity. This was also something Yan Ru had specifically instructed, so that Hua Jin could live a peaceful life and not be troubled by his identity.
He still remembered the scene when he first met Hua Jin. At that time, Hua Jin was just a little kid. Her small hands grabbed his big hands, and both hands couldn't hold them. His eyes were clear as he looked at Hua Jin.
Yes, children’s eyes are clear.
Mu Chi pulled his thoughts back and realized that although Hua Jin was in the valley, he was still an alien species.
"Goddess, Xiaojin is doing well."
"It would be great if everything were fine," Yan Ru said helplessly. She took out the Pre-Chen Mirror, waved her hand over it, and chanted some incantation. A dark maple shadow and a faint golden light appeared on the mirror. "This is the aura I extracted from the spirit pearl and the alien species. Originally, they were equal, but now the alien species has become stronger. The spirit pearls have been scattered since his death. Mu Chi, do you understand my concerns?"
Mu Chi looked at the two groups on the mirror and said, "I know."
"It's good that you know this. Now that my godhood has been destroyed, the Mirror of the Past is of no use to me." Yan Ru gave the Mirror of the Past and the Night-light Pearl to Mu Chi, "You can take it away."
"Yes." Mu Chi responded with mixed feelings.
As he was about to leave, Ye Yuanqing took one last look at the swaddling clothes and said, "His name is Musi, Mu for evening, and Si for four horses."
…
The image in the mirror followed Mu Chi back to the Hidden Valley.
A year later, Zhu Jianye was born, but Yang Xiaoxue also had a difficult delivery. She was depleted of spiritual energy, and the spiritual power injected was not enough. They had managed to keep this baby with great difficulty. They had been hoping for this child for a long time, but now they could only give him up.
But the fetus in Yang Xiaoxue's belly seemed to know that it was not easy for it to survive, so it wanted to survive, and thus almost sucked all of Yang Xiaoxue's spiritual power away.
Yang Xiaoxue, who was already pregnant, had already experienced her spiritual energy being sucked away by the fetus, leaving very little in her body. Now...
"Xiaoxue, hold on, I have a way, just wait!!!" After saying that, Zhu Yingyan went to the West Mountain. At this moment, Mu Chi was in seclusion trying to break through to the next level of the Hidden You Heart Method, and had no idea that the luminous beads had been stolen.
Mu Chi and Zhu Yingyan entered the valley at the same time, and they stood out among the disciples, so they became good friends. Later, because they became apprentices, their masters were also good friends, and their relationship became even closer, and they almost became confidants who could talk about anything.
When Mu Chi brought Ye Musi back, Zhu Yingyan asked him some questions.
"Is this his child with Uncle Yu? You brought him back like this and want to take him as your disciple. There's a generation gap between them." Zhu Yingyan looked at the sleeping Ye Musi, and then at Mu Chi who was sitting beside him, looking at Ye Musi with an unknown emotion. "This child is still our junior apprentice after all."
"You don't want me to accept him." Mu Chi and Zhu Yingyan have known each other for many years and have long been each other's favorites.
"Of course I don't want to. He's so rigid, I'm afraid the child will take after him!"
