Chapter 36: Flame Mountain Cocoon Man (9)
Li Yuanying frowned when she saw the dark clouds coming from afar. She had heard that it never rains in Yanshan. There was only one situation, and that was the rain from Yanshan.
Liyu is composed of the blood of creatures that died in Yanshan. The blood of the creatures scorched by Yanshan will rise to the sky and turn into evil clouds, and the rain that falls becomes Liyu.
Why is it called Li Yu?
That's because wherever the raindrops touch, the soil will be peeled off.
Now the three of them are at the foot of Yanshan Mountain. Going up is the bare Yanshan Mountain, and going back is the endless wasteland. There is no place to hide at all.
Qilang does have an umbrella, but it definitely can't cover three people.
Qilang was not afraid of the rain. He took out the Tulingyan Umbrella and threw it into the air. Then the umbrella began to spin rapidly, dragging out a light blue ghost shadow, and the sound of bells jingled. The umbrella spun faster and faster, and the umbrella body seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, until it was big enough to cover three people.
When Li Yu came over, the black raindrops were as big as grapes, crackling and hitting the Tu Ling Flame Umbrella. They were like living things, making shrill screams.
Li Yuanying looked up and saw countless painful faces inside the dark clouds, including humans, animals and monsters. They screamed in pain, black water dripped from their eyes, and then turned into rain and fell.
"Are these the people who died unjustly in Yanshan?" Li Yuanying asked.
"Yes, this is the way of trickery."
This was the first time Li Yuanying saw the so-called evil spirit. She knew that there were people and monsters in this world. According to legend, there were also some evil spirits that refused to enter reincarnation. This was the first time she had seen this.
"These people...are there no one to save them?"
Qilang thought of the infant spirits in Chang'an. These evil spirits in the sky belonged to the same species as the infant spirits in Chang'an. They were transformed from living beings that were infected by resentment after death. They were trapped in the human world, forever confined to pain and unable to leave.
After the war between humans and demons, these evil spirits and infant spirits became more and more numerous, but no one was there to help them to be liberated.
"Those temples have been burned down, and there are few holy monks in the world who can perform rituals to liberate the dead. Is the Li family interested?" Qilang asked.
Li Yuanying did not answer. The Li family had exhausted all their efforts to defend the Yuanming Realm and had no energy left to care about the creatures outside the Three Realms.
"Everyone talks about the Three Realms. Do you think there are gods in this world?" Li Yuanying suddenly spoke. This was also a question that had been bothering her.
Why does the Li family have to bear all the responsibilities? Aren't there gods in this world who take care of these things? Then why are there three realms?
"Only the incompetent seek help from the gods." Qilang said calmly, "It's better to rely on yourself than on heaven or earth. Do you understand?"
"I don't need to pray to God myself, but..."
"You can't take care of everyone, Wanwan." Qilang interrupted Li Yuanying. He knew what she wanted to say. Perhaps it was this divinity in her that fascinated him so much.
"You can't satisfy everyone, you can only do your best." Qilang continued.
Li Yuanying was stunned. Yes, she had always thought that since she was going to die, her life was not important. She wanted to use this broken body to exchange for the final balance between humans and demons. Although she knew it was difficult, she had been working hard for it.
However, the young man in front of her said that it was impossible for her to satisfy everyone, and she should only care about herself. If she really only cared about herself, she would not care about the Polar Cold Lotus or the Yuanming Realm. She would travel around Kyushu and have fun every day.
However, she couldn't do that. If she only cared about herself, the Li family would suffer a devastating disaster.
Her father, her brother...will all die.
Yuan Xi did nothing wrong, he was just an innocent child.
Li Yuanying remembered that Yuanxi had prepared many talismans for her when she went out. He had loved to please her since he was a child. Li Yuanying knew that Yuanxi envied those brothers and sisters who were from the same family. They had the same father but different mothers, which led to estrangement.
It's all my fault.
Therefore, she couldn't let Yuan Xi be implicated because of her own problems.
As for my father, he gave me life, raised me, and entrusted me with great responsibilities. Although my father had selfish motives, he just wanted to leave a descendant for the Li family.
He knew that Li Yuanying's path was not easy, and he didn't want to sacrifice his son.
But he was not completely unconcerned about herself. He risked his life to bring Qilang back from Buzhou Mountain and make him his husband, hoping to keep her for a few more days.
These people made it impossible for her to completely hate them.
She could ignore them, but she couldn't give up on them.
"One day you will understand that only when you live your own life is it real," said Qilang.
Li Yuanying shook her head.
Alive...
Are you living with pain all over your body and feeling as if you are being frozen to the bone?
In order to break through the limit, practice the three secrets of the Li family, practice day and night, cut off all emotions and love, and live a life away from the world?
Are you living for those who have betrayed you but whom you can't bear to hurt?
Or am I living for you, for an illusory goodwill?
Li Yuanying remained silent.
Maybe for her, death is a relief.
"Qillang has six sisters?" Li Yuanying asked.
Qilang was embarrassed for a moment: "You really believe what I said?"
"Well, you actually lied to me. I still feel a little guilty."
"What are you feeling guilty about?"
"I thought you were the only child your family had finally given birth to, but you ended up becoming our son-in-law. I used to feel like I owed your family something, but now I don't."
Bingyi was far away, but she also heard this. She was about to argue, but when she remembered how much the young master protected Li Yuanying, she gave up.
"How can you not feel indebted? I'm such a dashing and charming man, a handsome man like no other in the world, and you took advantage of me and now you're being rude?"
"Oh." Li Yuanying responded indifferently, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Qilang's greatest strength, apart from his tough talk, is his immense self-confidence.
The rain clouds gradually drifted away, the sound of rain stopped, and the sky became clear again.
The three decided to continue searching up the mountain.
Yanshan is so hot. If Shiwu wants to survive here, there must be some hidden secret in Yanshan.
However, this so-called hidden paradise is not easy to find.
Yanshan is very large but not high, and has a karst landform.
This landform is formed by the erosion of rocks by both groundwater and surface water. It can be seen that there should have been many water systems in Yanshan before, but for some unknown reason, these waters disappeared and turned into hot rocks.
The soles of Li Yuanying's shoes are very thick, but after walking for a long time, she can still feel the heat on the soles of her feet.
She felt like her whole body was about to melt.
At this moment, a shadow covered her. She looked up and saw it was the Tu Ling Flame Umbrella.
"You keep holding this umbrella. Doesn't it consume a lot of your internal energy?" As a martial artist, Li Yuanying must be able to see the strangeness in this.
"It's just internal strength, not worth mentioning."
Li Yuanying pursed her lips and said, "Okay, I'll see how long you can hold on."
While the two were talking, Bingyi carved marks on the rock with his two knives.
The three of them circled around and around.
Bingyi spoke first: "Master, we have been to this place before. Look, this is the mark I made before."
Confused?
When Li Yuanying followed her father to eliminate demons, she encountered this situation in a deep mountain called Ningxiang. Because it was night and they encountered such a strange phenomenon, the morale of the group was greatly broken and most of them were killed or injured.
Now in the scorching heat of Yanshan, water is limited. If they encounter this situation, after some time, the three of them will not be able to get out and will definitely be in a life-and-death situation.
In this case, the easiest way is to climb to a high place and overlook the overall layout.
But it seemed that the black cliffs were too smooth and steep to climb.
Qilang also thought of this method. Under normal circumstances, he would just need to let Bingyi fly to the sky to take a look. But now that Li Yuanying is here, he doesn't want to confront her directly.
"Let's find out where to start and repeat the marks." Li Yuanying suggested another method.
The three of them began to search along the marks Bing Yi had made. Every time they reached a place, they changed the mark to a different number, starting from one, two, three, four...
The three people discovered that when the number reached forty-nine, it would return to one the next time.
The three of them stood between one and forty-nine, carefully observing the differences in the scenery.
Only then did he discover that at the spatial connection between one and four-nine, there seemed to be some water ripples that were slightly fluctuating.
"It's a mirror nightmare." Li Yuanying said.
Sure enough, what they encountered before was also a mirror nightmare.
This is a very low-level monster, the lowest level of puppet, who specializes in bewitching humans. They appear in dangerous deep mountains and forests, connecting certain spaces to tease humans and make them lose their way, which is the so-called ghost wall.
They have no lethality, but they can create such strange scenes, causing people to lose their minds, eventually suffer a mental breakdown and die.
"May the people pray for eternal peace and prosperity!" Li Yuanying cast a spell at the junction of one and forty-nine. The water ripples became turbulent, a silver light flashed, and it turned into a pool of water.
"Wanwan is indeed very skilled." Qilang praised with a forced smile.
Li Yuanying knew that such a conceited person would not sincerely praise her. He might be thinking in his heart, it’s just a mirror nightmare, it’s not worth mentioning, even if I don’t get rid of it, I can still get out of it!
Qilang didn't think so. He just felt that Li Yuanying didn't give him a chance to show his abilities. He could also guess that this was caused by the Mirror Nightmare. Although he didn't know the purification spell, he could still scare the Mirror Nightmare away with his skills.
Bingyi was also a little angry at this moment. Li Yuanying was always trying to show off, leaving her no chance to show herself in front of His Highness.
Just as the mirror nightmare disappeared, a huge hole appeared in front of the three people. It was pitch black inside and looked very deep.
"I guess this is a little trick set up by Fifteen. She should be inside."
Although Li Yuanying and his group encountered some minor difficulties along the way, they were all resolved smoothly. The three of them did not realize what they would face next.
