"Get out of here! Don't think I wouldn't kill you just because we're brothers from the same sect."
"Let go quickly, or I'll give Xiaojiu an extra meal."
The chirping of insects became brighter, and the young Taoist priests fell into a deep sleep one by one under the discipline. However, there were always one or two talented ones who "rebelled" and threw the entire Taoist priest team into chaos.
Ju Jingbai gave Xia Qunyi a look and planned to leave early. Qin Yu was there, and although he had put up a fake death talisman, she still felt uneasy.
She turned her head to glance at Qin Yu, and met his gaze in shock.
Qin Yu's eyes were like poisonous daggers, and she felt cold all over.
"Ding-ling-ling" the crisp sound of a bell rang out from Qin Yu's hand.
The little Taoist priests who were causing trouble fell unconscious, followed by the tall and thin Taoist priest, and then it was her turn.
"While Qin Yu can't move, Jingjing should find a place to hide."
Before he lost consciousness, Ju Jingbai subconsciously put a wake-up talisman made of golden light of merit on Jingjing, put Jingjing down from his arms, and told her to hide.
The clear sound of bells came from far away.
The next moment, Ju Jingbai's consciousness sank uncontrollably into an unknown realm.
When she regained consciousness, the scene before her was Xingyi Sect under the setting sun. She was standing on a small hill. Peach blossoms were blooming all over the hill. Standing at the top of the hill, she could also see the Taoist temple on the top of the hill. That Taoist temple was Xingyi Sect.
The setting sun sank lower and the crescent moon rose.
Ju Jingbai wanted to go down the hill, but she found that her feet could not move at all, as if she was fixed on the hill.
She looked at the woman speeding towards her from afar. The woman had gentle smiling eyes. Except for her eyes, the rest of her facial features were almost as if they were copied from a machine by Ju Jingbai. This was her mother, Ju Jingbai thought, and the impression of her mother in her mind suddenly became clear.
Since she was a child, she has been unwilling to talk about her parents with others. It’s not that she doesn’t like them, but that she doesn’t have a deep impression of them.
She could clearly remember the stories her mother told her when she was a child, the love her mother showed her, the paper toys her mother made for her, and the time her father pulled her up to fly high, but she could not empathize with these emotions, as if she herself was rejecting the erosion of these emotions and she was afraid.
Why? Why is she afraid?
The woman saw her and made a hurried sound. When she didn't respond, she turned around and ran over here.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Ju Jingbai heard himself ask.
"Daddy has something to do, Baibai. Just stay here and be good. Don't be afraid. No matter what you see, don't come out, okay?" The woman carried her into a small cave at the foot of the hill. She used talismans and branches to cover up her scent, and gently instructed her in a gentle and caring voice, "Remember, you must not come out."
Ju Jingbai watched the woman leave and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.
Through the branches, she saw her mother fighting with someone and was defeated.
The man rang the bell, and the crisp sound frightened a pair of ghosts covered in black. The ghosts' bodies grew together, and their legs became twisted and deformed starting from the back. Under the moonlight, they were even darker than the night. The evil ghosts were very powerful.
She watched her mother being beaten and rolling to the side of the cave, crying with fear.
Ju Jingbai covered his mouth and wanted to go out and pull his mother to the cave where she was hiding.
Unexpectedly, this accelerated the defeat of her mother. Her mother pulled her under her body, and lightning struck the body of the evil ghost in pieces, but it seemed that it only dispelled the little bit of darkness in the evil ghost's body. In order to protect her mother's body, the evil ghost tore her mother apart.
Her crying seemed to trigger an even greater transformation.
After her mother died, she instantly turned into a fierce ghost, a red-clothed one who was even more powerful than the black-clothed one. Although there were still holes on her back left by the ghost's bite, her strength had greatly increased.
In an instant, defeat turned into victory.
The twin ghosts were eaten, and the man who controlled the ghosts was also eaten by their mother.
Ju Jingbai looked at her mother turning her head, her empty black pupils revealing a look that showed her soul was delicious.
She screamed for her mother in horror, and then fainted from fright.
When she regained consciousness, she was already in the arms of a white-bearded Taoist priest. She listened to the conversation between the two Taoist priests and secretly looked in the direction of her mother.
"No, they've lost their will, and this evil spirit and resentment can't be washed away. The people down there won't want them. They'll be sent to a special supervision prison."
"Including this child's parents, six people from the Xingyi Sect have died over the years, right?"
"Well, the Taoists of Xingyi Sect are well-qualified and have always performed very well in the Metaphysics Competition over the years. This is the result of the situation where those who are capable get more work."
"It's not easy for anyone. It's not easy for the Xu family this year either."
"Who says it's not? I remember there's a young man in the Xu family who is very talented, right?"
"Yes, it's a boy named Xu Ge. He's much more talented than his brothers, and his personality is also quite different from his brothers."
Ju Jingbai and his mother looked at each other again, and he hiccupped in fear. Regret and fear intertwined together and woven a tight thread in his young heart.
Ju Jingbai finally found out why she was afraid of ghosts, but it was not a happy reason.
The reasons were revealed, and the rotten scars were exposed to the air, once again burning the heart that was not strong enough.
The sound of the bell once again reached Ju Jingbai's ears.
Ju Jingbai was immersed in the fragments of memories, his brows furrowed and tears streaming down his cheeks.
The bell sound mainly attacked Ju Jingbai, so Xia Qunyi quickly regained consciousness, but was also exposed.
She cautiously responded to the killing moves passed down by the Taoists and shouted loudly: "Xiaobai, Ju Jingbai." She tried to bring Ju Jingbai back to consciousness.
Ju Jingbai kept having the nightmare that she had turned her mother into a ghost, and she was immersed in the dream uneasily.
Until he completely transformed into the nine-year-old Ju Jingbai.
…
"Who says it's not? I remember there's a young man in the Xu family who is very talented, right?"
"Yes, it's a boy named Xu Ge. He's much more talented than his brothers, and his personality is also quite different from his brothers."
Xu Ge?? So she and Xu Ge had already met before??
Who is Xu Ge?
Xia Qun Yi originally worked indoors and was not good at fighting. She was no match for the Taoist priests' siege.
Soon all the attacks were defeated, and the snake head opened its mouth wide enough to swallow Xia Qunyi's entire head into its stomach.
At the critical moment, Ju Jingbai leaped and saved Xia Qunyi.
Ju Jingbai scattered a handful of thunder talismans, and thunder rang out in succession, forming a purple electric net.
The tall and thin Taoist priest called Xiaojiu back and waved the bell in his hand.
He felt that this day was really messed up. This woman actually blocked all their attacks by throwing a large number of talismans.
With so many high-level talismans, he could become a multi-millionaire just by selling them. Why would he mess up their job?!
Which rival sect is this? They're hurting their own enemies while harming their own as well. Are they crazy?!
The situation gradually weakened in favor of Ju Jingbai and his friends. Ju Jingbai's golden light of merit flowed from his fingertips as he drew the Great Thunder Talisman in the air, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xia Qunyi was sweating profusely, her body covered with scars, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.
After being whipped by the young Taoist priest, Ju Jingbai looked vigilantly at Qin Yu who was lying beside him.
"This fighting style is too slow." Qin Yu sat up, and an old voice sounded immediately afterwards.
The nightmarish bell sound rang again, as if summoning something.
Ju Jingbai felt scared and blocked Xia Qunyi, retreating in small steps. She couldn't beat the thing coming.
"Ouch." The yin energy was so strong that the red candle that was extinguished by the thunder talisman rekindled.
Three ghosts appeared behind Qin Yu, all dressed in red, as thick as ink.
"Go kill them and capture the girls in the yard." Qin Yu's command sounded.
"Stop, don't run. Qin Yu wants me to kill you." The ghosts' laughing voices rang out.
Ju Jingbai only felt a gust of wind blowing, and three ghosts that he could not defeat stood in front of him.
The ghosts sniffed her scent, as if to determine whether she was delicious or not.
Ju Jingbai held his breath, trying to show his usual friendliness, thinking hard about his bargaining chips: "You are unwilling to be controlled by Qin Yu, right? I can help you break free from his control. Really, I'm still young and I'm very powerful..."
"Oh my, my little girl, you are so pretty. I think you look like my daughter most among all the girls I have met." The first ghost was chubby. He stared at her with his black eyes and was very happy to recognize her as a relative.
"Bah, you old ghost, have you any shame? Girl, if you want to recognize your father, recognize me, recognize me," the ghost, his facial features blurred, said with a smile, pointing at himself like an old man fanning himself in the square, "Our family's principle is to pamper our daughters. Whatever you want, Daddy will find it for you."
"What do you two rough old men know? Although the little girl's face looks unhappy, it is obvious that she doesn't look like she is missing a father, but a mother!" This female ghost really doesn't look like a female ghost, she is a bit ugly.
Ju Jingbai: “???”
Ju Jingbai took a deep breath and was unable to say that he could help them defeat Qin Yu.
