Chapter 15: Fairy Shengle (7)
"Do you know how to get out?" Qilang asked.
"Well, if I'm not mistaken..." Li Yuanying has now guessed about 80% of the answer to the riddle. She also needs to tell her senior brother the method so that the two of them can get out.
Li Yuanying looked at the two people trapped by the Form Binding Technique. They were engulfed in black smoke, with no one outside knowing what was happening inside, and no one inside seeing through. Li Yuanying first pulled out a talisman from her pocket. This was the Forget Worry Talisman she had prepared before setting out.
When Li Yuanying untied the binding spell, before the two of them could react, she immediately used the Forget Worry Talisman. The talisman transformed into thousands of words that poured into the two of them's heads. Then, the two of them seemed to be frozen, and it took them a long time to regain consciousness.
Bingyi was the first to speak, her face full of confusion: "What just happened... It's so cold..."
Then she noticed the joyful illusion in the sky and covered her mouth with disdain: "Uh, so disgusting, how could these humans do such a thing with corpses?"
Zhang Qingchen's eyes fell on Li Yuanying, not paying attention to the illusion. He walked towards Li Yuanying, grabbed her wrist, and said seriously: "Wanwan, why is there such a strong evil spirit on you? Are you..."
Li Yuanying tried to break free, but Zhang Qingchen held her tightly: "Brother, you hurt me."
Zhang Qingchen was startled and felt a little distressed. Li Yuanying took advantage of this opportunity to quickly pull her hand away: "Brother, it's just that the demonic energy in this illusion is too strong. You're overthinking it. I promised you that I would never use forbidden techniques, and I definitely won't use them."
Li Yuanying's tone was innocent and soft. Qilang, who was sitting under the tree, heard it clearly. He sneered, but did not say anything else.
"Wanwan, you must know that this kind of forbidden technique will infect the soul. If you use it too much, you will definitely go astray and be doomed!" Zhang Qingchen's tone was full of anger, worry, and fear.
Li Yuanying knew why he was so. Zhang Qingchen had become the head of the Zhang family at the tender age of twenty, precisely because Elder Zhang was no longer around. Zhang Qingchen had witnessed his father's demise after being possessed by forbidden techniques, leading to his complete annihilation. He hated these unorthodox ways with a deep hatred.
"Wanwan, saving the people cannot be achieved through righteousness alone."
Li Yuanying heard the last teachings of Master Zhang.
"Whether the right path is right or wrong is ultimately a one-sided judgment made by the world. In your heart, your path is the right path."
Her senior brother, who has always been a righteous man in his life, would definitely not agree with her idea. Li Yuanying also didn't want her senior brother to know too much. There were not many people like him who insisted on their own ideas in such a world with treacherous people and rampant demons.
She admired her senior brother very much, but she couldn't do it.
"Don't worry, senior brother. Wanwan has always followed your teachings and will never disobey you." Li Yuanying said this with great righteousness. Such an affirmative attitude made Zhang Qingchen waver.
Li Yuanying has long been familiar with this. If you tell some lies too many times, you yourself will not be able to tell whether they are true or false.
"Alright, Wanwan, I'll trust you for now." Zhang Qingchen didn't want to embarrass her any further, so he gave up. "Just, don't be like him..."
The last sentence stung Li Yuanying's heart. His senior brother had always hated his father because he did not stick to what his senior brother believed in as the "right path".
But, brother, how can you understand the suffering of the master?
"Brother, if a great demon is about to massacre the city, and you don't stop it immediately, it will lead to a catastrophe. With your current abilities, you are absolutely unable to stop it. Only forbidden techniques can stop it. What would you do?" Li Yuanying asked, "Brother, is your Tao more important, or is human life more important?"
Zhang Qingchen frowned. "How can one rely on forbidden techniques in this world? If my swordsmanship doesn't work, there are still thousands of others who will follow. The righteous path will eventually triumph."
"But those people can't wait for you to find thousands and thousands of newcomers." Bingyi couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.
"So, Senior Brother, do you think the right path lies with those who sacrifice their own beliefs to save the world, or with those who selfishly cling to their beliefs without regard for human life?" Li Yuanying's tone grew serious. "So, in your heart, your path is more important."
"You..." Zhang Qingchen was speechless for a moment.
Qilang's heart was moved when he heard Li Yuanying's voice. He didn't expect that this little girl, at such a young age, already had such insights. She was not like those fake righteous people who stuck to the old rules and talked about righteousness.
"Forget it, Senior Brother, you and I should not discuss this matter anymore." Li Yuanying shook her head. She knew that she and her Senior Brother were not on the same page. "Senior Brother, please tell me, I already know how to break this illusion."
After saying that, Li Yuanying leaned over to whisper a few words into her senior brother's ear. Zhang Qinchen was a little surprised. He glanced at Li Yuanying and then at Bingyi.
"What are you two talking about in whispers? What's so shameful?" Bingyi was displeased.
"Senior brother, the choice is yours." After Li Yuanying finished speaking, she walked towards Qilang under the tree and squatted beside him.
"Young Master!" Bingyi seemed to remember Qilang, and she followed Li Yuanying and rushed over.
Li Yuanying waved her hand and said, "Establish barrier!"
An invisible wall blocked Bingyi out.
"What are you doing? You bad woman, what did you do to my young master? Young master, you don't look well. Has anyone bullied you?" Bingyi kept beating outside the barrier, but to no avail.
"You little maid are very annoying." Li Yuanying could no longer bear it.
"Since Madam hates her so much, please help me get rid of her." Qilang teased.
Li Yuanying didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. She glanced at Qilang, his eyes were dull and empty.
"Shichiro."
"Um?"
"fine."
After saying that, Li Yuanying took out the Frost Ashes. She looked at the long sword that looked like ice and snow. It seemed transparent and magnificent.
The first time she got the Frost Ashes, she was fascinated by the sword. Over the years, it was like a comrade-in-arms, helping her kill countless enemies. She never expected that she would need to use it to stab herself today.
"Wanwan, how confident are you?" Zhang Qingchen asked across the barrier.
"Eighty percent." Li Yuanying's heart hardened. Without waiting for Zhang Qingchen to continue, she stabbed the sword into her own eyes.
Severe pain came from her eyes, but she clenched her teeth and did not scream.
"Wanwan!" Zhang Qingchen didn't expect Li Yuanying to be so decisive. Seeing her in so much pain, he called her anxiously.
"Are you...are you crazy?" Bingyi also became panicked.
Qilang sensed something was wrong. He reached out to touch Li Yuanying, but felt something sticky. He put it under his nose and sniffed it, and found it was blood.
"What are you doing?" Qilang's voice became nervous.
"Qillang, do you still remember what I said to you before I left?" Li Yuanying squeezed out these words from between her teeth. The severe pain made her almost faint, and her right eye could no longer see.
"Why are you bringing this up? I'm asking you, what are you doing!" Qilang roared.
Li Yuanying dug out her right eye, which emitted a golden light. She held up the eye and put it into the hole in Qilang's right eye.
"I told you I would protect you along the way, and I will keep my word."
After Li Yuanying finished speaking, he stabbed the Frost Ember into her left eye again. This time she couldn't hold it back, and a scream filled the illusion of Shengle Township, continuing endlessly.
