Chapter 122 Letter (3,000 words)
This time, they did not choose spiritual weapons, but hired a boat and traveled by water.
Li Jinzhu Xiu was sitting at the bow of the boat making tea with graceful movements, each of her actions could be painted.
The Taoist priest babbled, "Flower Fairy, may I ask where you come from?"
The Flower Monk held a fishing rod in his hand, angling for a fish that was destined to never bite, and said, "I have no sect or school, I am just a casual cultivator."
Han Yueshan and the other two were sitting there peeling lotus roots in a carefree manner, their style was completely different from that of Li Xiu.
Zhao Xue said without thinking: "Didn't you say before that you wanted to return to secular life?"
The senior brother snatched the lotus root from his hand and said, "Silly, Buddhists are not ordinary monks. It's not that easy to return to secular life."
The flower monk thought for a moment and said politely, "I left the sect without its permission."
There was silence on the boat, and everyone looked over in amazement.
Li Xiu's hand trembled, and the tea spilled out, but he didn't care about that. He asked in shock: "Aren't you out here to gain experience?"
"No, for some reason, the master didn't want me to go out and gain experience. But I really longed for life outside, so I knocked out my fellow disciples and escaped. In a sense, I have betrayed the master."
Everyone on the boat was silent.
In the cabin, Tao Zi was rubbing the hairpin in her hand. On the table were the lotus seeds that Xi Jing had sent her not long ago.
She stared at the hairpin, thoughtfully. She didn't believe that she had kept the hairpin just to remind herself of her memory loss.
After thinking about it, she said in her heart: "Do you have any memory?"
It lazily perfunctorily replied, "Little Ah Zi, I still say the same thing. If you can't remember something, I, a demon in my heart, can't remember it either."
Tao Zi was skeptical about this, but didn't ask any further questions.
She looked at the word "染" on the hairpin and unconsciously outlined its patterns.
Suddenly, her fingers stopped on the "wood", which seemed to be a little convex.
Tao Zi narrowed her eyes and tried to press it.
"Click"
The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible.
Tao Zi let go, stood up and walked outside, breaking their silence, saying: "Xi Jing, Senior Sister is a little tired. You don't need to call Senior Sister when we eat later."
Xi Jing came back to her senses and said, "Okay, Senior Sister."
She went back to her room and closed the door.
After some attempts, the hairpin head fell off, and the yellowed paper inside the hairpin came into view.
Tao Zi looked at it for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
After taking it out, she slowly unfolded one of the papers - it was blank.
Tao Zi was not surprised, but tried to input spiritual energy.
Sure enough, the paper gradually turned white, and the densely packed words on it appeared in front of her.
Looking at the words that were so close together that they were almost indistinguishable from each other, Tao Zi read on patiently.
[From the person in the Punishment Hall:
When you see this letter, it means that Senior Sister has failed. After nearly a hundred years of struggle with that person, Senior Sister finally lost.
Over the past hundred years, the man behind the scenes has controlled Senior Sister's memory and manipulated her emotions, leaving only her life.
…
The person behind the scenes intends to support Xu Qianjia and the other two, but there is no need to rush to deal with them. Those three people are not smart enough. If they take action and replace him with someone else, it may be even more troublesome. Moreover, those three people are probably unaware of these things, otherwise they would not have such a stupid attitude.
…
Remember, do not trust anyone in the Minglan Sect, including me, your deceased senior sister.
Tao Zi pressed her forehead, trying to analyze the message, but she found it unbelievable.
Had these past hundred years of memories and emotions been manipulated? And that person was even trying to support Xu Qianjia and his gang of idiots? Why didn't she just tell Xing Zhan directly, instead of leaving a letter like this?
Tao Zi opened another larger blank paper and tried to input spiritual energy into it, but there was no change.
She frowned, thought for a while, and cut her finger. When the paper touched the blood, it immediately turned red, and black words appeared on it.
This piece of paper recognizes its owner, and only the owner's blood can reveal the words. In other words, she does not want the contents inside to be seen by anyone other than herself.
To her surprise, the content seemed to be pieced together and was incomplete. Even the order of time could not be determined. It looked more like an essay.
[Tsk, they actually chose Xu Qianjia and the others. The person behind this is not smart enough.]
[You want me to train Xu Qianjia? Okay, then I'll train him well.]
"Although this is within my expectations, I'm still furious. Are those three just stupid? They can't even see my ridiculous change in attitude? Even the new kid, Xiao Xingzhan, thinks something's wrong."
"Yue Qiran, were you blind before? You actually chose three ungrateful people as your junior brothers and sisters. Whatever. They're just toys to wrestle with now, so why invest so much emotion in them?"
[It worked. The thing inside me seemed to think that flattery was a good thing. For a moment, I couldn't tell if I was being tricked, or if the person behind the scenes was incompetent.]
"If I can survive, I will definitely take those things back one by one. Do they deserve those good things?"
[Nascent Soul, as long as I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can fight against that thing in my body. However, he will probably kill me directly. The question is, how can I deceive him and make him think that I am still controlled?]
[I really want to escape from the Minglan Sect, hide, and slowly take my revenge. It's a pity that I have a spiritual trace in my body, so I can't escape. Fortunately, I listened to my first instinct and risked my life not to let the Xingtang implant the spiritual trace. It's like having an extra helper.]
[This new junior sister seems a bit off-kilter... Why are all my junior brothers and sisters acting like this? But this is good too, it stimulates me. As long as the thing inside me flares up once more, I can get a period of clarity sooner, even if I have to be implanted with that thing later. Hey, if she hadn't looked at me with genuine malice, I'd have suspected this junior sister was here to help me.]
"Was Master involved in this? If not, why didn't he notice anything was wrong with me? If he was involved, why would he, a Celestial Master, be so calculating?"
Xiao Xingzhan tried to test me, causing me to lose my temper and scare him. However, when I woke up, I didn't remember anything. Fortunately, this guy was smart and found all kinds of excuses to show me his brain.
Xing Zhan has been targeted and lost his eyes. I need to find him a pair. Luckily, I didn't involve him before. After much consideration, I decided not to tell anyone. Just because the person behind this doesn't kill me doesn't mean they won't kill Xing Zhan. I finally found a good apprentice, and it's a shame to lose him.
My lucid time is getting shorter and shorter, but I can't do anything about it. That person is too powerful. I, as a normal person, don't remember anything. And now, I can't tell anyone. Everyone who can help me is being watched. Even meeting him is dangerous. I can only find some ordinary people to leave letters for him.
[Nascent Soul… seems to be getting harder and harder. This time I came here to ask Ayuan for help. I hope I won’t get into any big trouble.]
[Don't think about the lost memories, don't question your feelings for those three idiots, and don't even think about hurting them, and your head won't hurt. This thing is pretty easy to deal with.]
Before I left, I left a clue for Xing Zhan and the others. If I die before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, they should be able to follow the clue and escape from Ming Lan Zong. As for revenge... I can't expect it. This can be considered as fulfilling Xing Zhan's kindness to me. Besides, once Xing Zhan leaves, Ming Lan Zong will be half destroyed.
…
Looking at these scattered words, Yue Qiran held his head, feeling more and more uncomfortable.
What is going on?
She took a deep breath, discarded the messy thoughts in her mind, and finally returned to normal.
Just in case, she quickly collected the notes. There were still some that she hadn't read yet, and there was no time to read them.
The inner demon watched with great interest and asked, "How does it feel?"
"What's going on?"
"How should I know?"
Tao Zi silently chanted a calming mantra, and when she was completely calm, she said in a voice so calm it was almost cold, "I'm living in a scam, and it's a scam with no hope."
"oh?"
"Didn't you see? Normally I don't know anything, but when I'm awake I can't tell anyone. Even Xing Zhan only realized something was wrong by guessing."
The inner demon shrugged and said, "So? You're going to back down?"
Tao Zi laughed, but her eyes were deadly cold: "How is that possible? I didn't give up even in that situation. I tried my best to leave clues and evidence to remind myself. Now that I have escaped by chance, there is no way I will retreat."
"It seems like there's no hope for you at all."
She touched the hairpin and said, "This is hope."
The inner demon looked over.
That person was very powerful, but not so powerful that she was omniscient and omnipotent, otherwise she would not have been able to keep these things.
And there must be someone helping her, but I don’t know who they are.
She had finally faked her death, so she absolutely couldn't show up rashly.
Tao Zi suddenly said, "Even if I can't kill the man behind them, I have to kill those three and get those things back."
"You could die."
"Then die."
The inner demon looked at her strangely and said, "You didn't know all this before. You treated them so well, and yet you were betrayed. You didn't have much desire for revenge. But now you have."
"If I had volunteered to do those things before, who could I blame? Their attitude was clear enough. I was the one trying to be nice to them." Tao Zi sneered, "I'm the one trying to eat shit, and I have the nerve to blame the person who did it for his bad attitude?"
The inner demon's expression twisted and he cursed, "Can you be more polite? What kind of metaphor is that? It's too disgusting!"
"I'm just telling the truth. If they tricked me into being nice to them, I should take revenge. But if I'm the one who's giving up my dignity and throwing myself at them... haha."
It muttered in confusion, "Aren't you also praising them to death?"
"That disgusts me too. If they had considered me their senior sister, they would have noticed something was wrong long ago. This was the chance I gave them, and myself, but they didn't. They cursed me while still benefiting from me. I can't let go of the anger in my heart unless I kill them. They cursed me before, but they knew it was my own fault. But that's not the case now."
Although Tao Zi said this, her mind was blank, for fear that the thing would break out.
