Chapter 22 Chapter 22
The colorful memories come to an abrupt end here.
The last thing that appeared in Ling Suye's mind was his younger self slowly falling to the ground, his mouth wide open, wanting to call for help, but the pain was so severe that no sound could come out.
Yunniang said, "I was born at that very moment—your parents arrived at the same time and killed those three people, but you were seriously injured and your breathing was almost stopped. Fortunately, the fatal blow grazed your heart and spared your lungs, which means there's still room for recovery."
According to Yunniang, Ling Suye was seriously injured at the time, and the "Jade Demon" Yunniang was born in excessive shock and might not survive long in the world.
Ling Suye's father Ling Ping thought of a compromise and asked Yunniang to devour all of Ling Suye's memories about the City God Temple - Ling Suye had eyes that could see through delusion and his soul was extremely powerful, and his soul fragments could help Yunniang consolidate her foundation.
If Ling Suye's memory is erased, he can deceive his "body" and tell himself that he is not injured, which will save his life.
Although this "cheating the body" sounds a bit far-fetched, there are such techniques in traditional Chinese medicine.
Sometimes not knowing anything will help you avoid excessive worry.
In this way, Ling Ping found the best doctor and cured Ling Suye, and Yunniang also came to Loulan under his arrangement.
——Chuzhou City God Temple is already extremely unsafe, and no one knows whether the man in black will come back to attack again.
Within a radius of a hundred miles, Loulan was a "no man's land" where all kinds of evil spirits could get in and no one, not even God, could find them.
It would be great if Yunniang could settle down here.
Ling Suye suddenly thought of the young man he met in the demon realm at Chuzhou City God Temple a few days ago.
His appearance is about 70% similar to the child he met when he was nine years old.
He also grew up in the City God Temple and is very familiar with the underground ways.
There are also people who are exactly the same as Yunniang and are very friendly to him.
Yunniang seemed to know what Ling Suye was thinking. She said, "Do you remember Wu Qi? He... three months ago, he sent me a letter from afar, saying that he had met you again. It's a pity that you have lost your memory of those days and don't know him. He also told me that it's better this way, so you won't have to witness his tragic death."
Ling Suye remained silent.
At that time in the City God Temple, he might not have recognized the boy as a demon at first, but after going deeper into the demon realm, even if he could not sense the demonic aura from the boy, he could guess that he was unusual.
——The demon realm in the City God Temple where there were almost no casualties was the demon realm of the young Wu Qi.
The 'Mr. Stone' who died in the demon realm were all members of a gang of men in black who went to steal the 'Evil-Suppressing Stone'.
In this way, everything that happened was strung together into a whole story line in Ling Suye's mind.
Thirty years ago, a middle-aged man named Wu Dalang took his two children to the City God Temple early in the morning to burn incense and pray for blessings.
Unexpectedly, they encountered robbers. After poisoning and hacking to death the people from the escort agency, they found that the sacred mountain jade that the escort agency was transporting had been broken into powder and blown away by the wind.
In anger, they killed the three members of the Wu family who came to pray for blessings - Wu Dalang, his daughter Wu Yun and his youngest son Wu Wei.
The two children died on the spot. The stab wounds on Wu Dalang's body did not hit the vital parts, so he was saved by the doctor arranged by the prefect Zhao Qisheng who rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
From then on, Wu Dalang began his 27-year career as a gatekeeper at the City God Temple until the last moment of his life.
During this period, he picked up an abandoned baby, named him Wu Qi, and raised him by his side.
At the same time, the youngest daughter Wu Yun, who should have died long ago, gradually regained consciousness - the sacred mountain jade escorted by the escort agency may have floated onto her body, and revived after years of silence. By accident, Wu Yun became a stone-born 'Jade Demon'.
After she successfully survived, she must have kept in touch with her father, Wu Dalang. This is why Wu Dalang finally entrusted his adopted son, Wu Qi, with his care: "After I die, there will be a piece of fine jade on my grave. Take this jade to the Ling family in Mobei. The head of the Ling family is a good man and will definitely take you in. If you can learn even a few moves, you will have some self-defense skills in the future."
However, the old man did not expect that gambling on jade stones in Chuzhou City was becoming more and more popular. His adopted son was inexperienced and brought a piece of fine jade with him. He was targeted by a villain and was murdered for his money.
Wu Qi often accompanied the old man to visit Wu Yun's grave, and was also contaminated by the aura of the jade from the sacred mountain. In addition, he died unjustly and had a heavy resentment, so he had been lingering in the City God Temple and refused to leave.
But he had only been a demon for a few years, so it was not reasonable for him to condense such a huge demon domain.
This is thanks to the Black-Cloaked Iron Guards. In order to create the blood jade, they did not hesitate to fill the City God Temple with evil spirits, thus triggering the creation of a demonic realm.
Even so, the demon named Wu Qi was still trying desperately to change the slaughter zone into a breakthrough zone, so as to leave a chance for innocent people to survive.
Finally, the demon domain was broken, and the demon disappeared in the brief and dizzying white light.
A piece of spiritual jade is left as a reward to the person who breaks the deadlock.
Ling Suye suddenly developed an illusion of "fate".
When he was nine years old, he and Wu Qi were in the Fang Dao, and they fled for their lives to protect the unborn Wu Yun. Ten years later, the nineteen-year-old Wu Qi once again took him to familiarize himself with the Fang Dao, trying to restore everything that happened that year, hoping that he could find out the truth and crack this horrifying demon domain.
In the end, Ling Suye interrogated the black-clad man who massacred his family in the past. Although he did not get a clear result, the matter of "Death Gu" and "Black-clad Iron Guard" was definitely related to the palace.
——He no longer had to search for clues as hard as before. This time, he had a clear goal.
Go to the capital city.
However, in the end, he actually learned the boy's name from someone else.
Ling Suye felt a little sad.
Yunniang, thinking of Wu Qi's final outcome, was already crying.
"Actually, when you saved him and me and your father took you away, Wu Qi kept chasing after the carriage. He wanted to tell you his name, so that if fate allowed us to meet again in the future," Yunniang's voice was filled with tears. "But the relationships between people are so shallow. Fate passes by in an instant, leaving behind not a trace of tenderness."
The nine-year-old Wu Qi tried desperately to tell Ling Suye his name, but after becoming a demon, Wu Qi no longer dared to say his name. He just pretended to be a timid "Mr. Shi" in front of Ling Suye.

Half a month passed in a flash, and Gu Xuanyou finally succeeded in sensing the spiritual energy on the spirit stone and used specific talismans to outline exquisite patterns.
Then, he began to decorate these thin slices of jade that had been ground and polished.
Use silver wire to fix a circle around the oblate jade stone, and connect it to a rod with a curved hook, which can probably be hooked behind the ear.
Finally, use jade beads to make a support for the bridge of the nose, and decorate the rod with fine gold-plated chains, and you're done.
"What is this? A mirror?" Master Wen was very curious. He picked it up and said, "It can't even reflect a person's image."
Gu Xuanyou smiled: "Wait for the master to come out in a while, and then you will see the effect."
As he spoke, Ling Suye came out shirtless again. Ever since he knew where the sword wound on his chest came from, his progress in using his body as a tool to outline the talisman patterns has been advancing by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, he often could not wear clothes and had to wait for the potion to dry.
Gu Xuanyou immediately jumped up and presented the jade slice in his hand to Ling Suye like a treasure: "Master, would you like to try it?"
Ling Suye understood what this meant: "You can already forge spiritual jade on your own?"
"Well," Gu Xuanyou's curved peach blossom eyes were filled with joy, "Can I help the master put it on?"
"good."
Ling Suye said this, lowering his head slightly. He was taller than Gu Xuanyou. Even though he couldn't guess what this thing Gu Xuanyou made was used for, but when it comes to "wear", it usually means wearing it on the head.
Gu Xuanyou moved closer and carefully placed the thin piece of jade on Ling Suye's high nose bridge, while the curved hook was hooked behind his ear.
At such a close distance, you can see the smallest details of the boy's skin.
Gu Xuanyou even saw a very tiny black mole under his left eyelid.
This is called a teardrop mole, also known as a beauty mole.
At this moment, Ling Suye slowly opened his eyes.
Unexpectedly, the eye with the thin film could actually sense faint light - shining into the pupil.

Glasses! Surprise!

Ji Chenyu went to Fengyue Pavilion to drink alone. His handsome profile was enveloped in the warm yellow candlelight. A strand of hair fell from his forehead, covering his half-open, affectionate eyes.
Just one glance made Ming Qiao, who was passing by, stop.
The next day, Ming Qiao left all her valuables beside the bed and said with a blushing face, "What's your name? I'll come and redeem you tomorrow."
Ji Chenyu raised his eyebrows, without saying the name, and said: "Then brother must do what he said."
That afternoon, the two met in the academy school.
The gate is narrow, and two people meet on a narrow road.
When Ji Chenyu's friend saw Ming Qiao, he whispered to him, "That's the dean's last disciple, Senior Brother Ming. He's the one who's rumored to have perfect scores in every subject."
Ming Qiao's friend pulled him a step away and said, "This man, Ji Chenyu, is Marshal Ji's only son. He's a dissolute man, so you better stay away from him."
Ji Chenyu and Ming Qiao: "..."

Later, Ji Chenyu whispered in Ming Qiao's ear: "Brother, they asked you to stay away from me."
