Chapter 21: Resurrection: Half of the face is still human, but the other half is...
[Zhao Qingxun] was stunned for a moment, then became interested.
He actually killed the ancestor of Tianyan Sect? That was interesting. As far as she knew, Shen Cangwu had never participated in the Heavenly Sacrifice. In this situation, he could kill the ancestor who had always participated in the Heavenly Sacrifice to gain power...
This Shen Cangwu is quite a hidden talent. Zhao Qingxun nodded and looked at Shen Cangwu seriously for the first time, trying to find out if there was anything special about him.
I don't see how she managed to kill someone of a higher level.
Interesting, truly interesting. I hadn't seen her take action in the other world, but this time she's involved. I wonder what new changes she'll bring.
Zhao Qingxun leaned forward against the table and said, "Tell me in detail what you want to do. You said we have a way, but who are we?"
"I want to form an alliance with you and Wind Chasing City." Shen Cangwu said calmly.
Zhao Qingxun raised his eyebrows slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and asked another question: "What about the Wanxiang Sect?"
Chen Cangwu said, "This is what I'm going to say next. The Wanxiang Sect is now suspected of being persuaded by the Liuyun Sect and the Jiuyou Sect. There are some problems in Zhuifeng City, and now it has cut off contact with the outside world."
"Leave the Wanxiang Sect to me. I'd like you to go and see what's happening in Wind Chasing City. Because of the Wanxiang Sect, they don't trust us very much right now."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingxun instantly felt overwhelmed. "Hiss, can you tell me exactly what's going on? I won't agree to something that would get me killed. Anyway, for me, this alliance isn't something I have to achieve." Zhao Qingxun retreated slightly, looking at Shen Cangwu warily.
Shen Cangwu fully understood Zhao Qingxun's vigilance and handed him a crystal. "Of course, you can withdraw at any time. Whether you go or not, whether you can find out what happened in Zhuifeng City, and whether you can solve it or not, it will not affect our cooperation. This crystal contains a part of my soul. If anything happens to you, I can't escape."
Zhao Qingxun didn't bother to be polite with her and took it directly for inspection. It was indeed a part of the soul. She was relieved: "Aren't you afraid that I will crush it and then swallow you up?"
"You won't. I know you need allies." Shen Cangwu said calmly, without any sign of fear.
Zhao Qingxun stared at her for a while, but when he couldn't find any flaws, he gave up. He put the crystal away and held out his hand, "So we've reached a common goal? Since you've expressed your willingness, I won't just sit there and do nothing. I'll assist Ah Ran in resolving the issues surrounding Wind Chasing City. I won't swear anymore. You and I both know the consequences of swearing; it'll make that thing target us."
In fact, whether Shen Cangwu comes or not, she will go to solve it after learning about the situation in Zhuifeng City.
As for the reason, as she said, she needs allies.
"This is a ghost talisman. It can mobilize a thousand ghost soldiers under my name. Each of them has the strength of a golden elixir. It can be regarded as a condition of exchange. You can use it if necessary, but if I find out that you abuse it, I will not let you go." [Zhao Qingxun] threw a military talisman to Shen Cangwu and said.
The next step is to wait for Ying Bu Ran to wake up, but I don’t know when he will wake up.
.
In fact, Ying Bu Ran woke up not long after Zhao Qingxun left.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was in a completely unfamiliar environment, and a wave of nervousness washed over him. Ying Bu Ran immediately sat up and instinctively reached for his waist, but there was nothing there. Then came a headache, as if he'd been hit with a needle.
Ying Bu Ran rubbed his swollen temples and tried hard to recall what had happened before, but his memory seemed to be shattered and could not be reassembled for a while.
What on earth happened? Where is this place?
After a while, Ying Bu Ran felt that his headache and dizziness had disappeared. He tried to get up, but his body felt a little strange, half light and half heavy.
She came to a table with a bronze mirror on it, reflecting her face. She was stunned at the first glance.
Half of the face was still human, but the other half looked like a skeleton, with empty eye sockets looking at the mirror. This inhuman appearance really scared Ying Bu Ran.
Is this really her? Ying Bu Ran reached out and touched the other half of her face. It was indeed the texture of bones, but where there were no bones, there seemed to be a force blocking her fingers. This force was even a little hot.
But as long as she didn't touch it, she didn't feel any heat at all. She tried covering her eyes on the intact half of her face, but she could still see, but it seemed like there was something missing.
Kind of... magical? What happened to her to cause this?
"Miss Ying, are you awake?" Ying Bu Ran turned around abruptly after hearing a voice. Seeing that it was a normal person, he breathed a sigh of relief and pointed at himself: "Are you calling me?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then nodded dumbly: "Yeah, I was calling you. The boss asked me to stay here to watch over you, and there's no one else around."
Who was the boss? Ying Bu Ran swallowed his doubts, tried to remain calm, hiding his vigilance and a hint of panic, and said calmly, "Then, can I go out?"
"Yeah, as long as you don't feel any discomfort, it's fine. If you don't feel well, you'd better wait for the boss to come back."
"I'm not feeling any discomfort right now, I just want to go out and get some fresh air." Ying Buyan said, observing the woman in front of him calmly, calculating the possibility of beating her. If he didn't let her go...
The soldier opened the door sideways. "Sure. The door on the left is the main door. There's some food in the living room. Since there's nothing else to do, I'll be leaving. I'm going on vacation in Wuhu!"
The soldier said this and ran away happily. Ying Bu Ran didn't know if it was her illusion, but she seemed to see the soldier's head fly away from his body for an instant.
It must be an illusion. The head flew off and the person died soon after?
Ying Buyan walked out of the room and looked to the right. She could see a table full of food. Although it smelled delicious, she didn't dare to touch it. She first touched the door tentatively, then tried to push it.
It was easily pushed open.
There were two people in the yard, one wearing a striking red robe and a cyan mask, while the other wore a cyan robe, looking out of place in the dim outside.
If she saw correctly, the man in green seemed to have three clusters of fire on him? But the other man, including the one who looked like the flying head, did not have any.
The woman in red was obviously very excited to see her. She waved at her and in the blink of an eye she was beside her, hugging her: "Wow, Ah Ran, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you these days."
The woman was taller than her. She hugged her and bent her waist slightly, rubbing her face against her neck, looking very intimate.
Ying Bu Ran hesitated for a moment, and instead of pushing her away or hugging her back, he asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Qingxun was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected Ying Bu Ran to have forgotten her after waking up. She didn't hug Ying Bu Ran anymore, but instead placed her hands on his shoulders. Then she reached out and took off her mask. "What now?"
Ying Bu Ran stared at him for a while. He looked familiar but couldn’t remember: “I don’t know him.” Not only did he not know him, but he also wanted to... hit him?
Zhao Qingxun panicked instantly. The King of Hell hadn't told her that she would lose her memory after leaving the house! "Then how much do you remember?"
"have no idea."
Seeing that Zhao Qingxun was a little flustered, Chen Cangwu took the initiative to suggest, "How about you two calm down for a moment and sit down to chat slowly? Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Cangwu, the leader of the Tianyan Sect. We have met before, and I am glad that you succeeded, Fellow Daoist Ying."
No, it wasn't completely successful. Shen Cangwu looked at Ying Bu Ran's half-ghost face and understood the meaning of the hexagram he had previously calculated.
Fortunately, she put it on.
Zhao Qingxun calmed down, pulled Ying Bu Ran to sit down, and described what had happened earlier as briefly and accurately as possible. Listening to her words, Ying Bu Ran gradually began to connect some things.
So, was she in the ghost world? No wonder it was so dark here, and the person in front of me didn't have three flames on him.
After Ying Bu Ran had digested the information, Chen Cangwu took out the mask he had prepared earlier. "This is an apology to Daoist Ying. This mask can conceal your aura and change with your consciousness. If Daoist Ying wants to go to the human world, you must not appear with this face."
Ying Bu Ran subconsciously looked at Zhao Qingxun. Zhao Qingxun was so beautiful that she nodded and said, "Take it. This is what you deserve."
Ying Bu Ran nodded, took the mask, and put it on his face. The mask automatically split in half, just enough to cover the ghost face.
After seeing Ying Bu Ran accept and use it freely, Shen Cang Wu stood up and said: "Now that everything has been explained and the things have been sent out, I will leave first."
"Goodbye. Since you can find your way here by yourself, you should be able to find the way back, right? But as an ally, I want to remind you that you'd better rest for a few days. It's impossible for you to come to the ghost world with a mortal body and not be affected." [Zhao Qingxun] waved to Chen Cangwu, then held Ying Bu Ran's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that the person would run away.
Shen Cangwu nodded, pulled out three pieces of talisman paper and threw them out. The talismans stuck to the air, connecting them and forcibly transforming into a path. Zhao Qingxun exclaimed in admiration at this. This man really did have quite a few skills.
After Chen Cangwu left, Ying Bu Ran pulled his hand away and looked at Zhao Qingxun: "So next, are we going to the human world as well? How do we get there?"
[Zhao Qingxun] was very sad to see Ying Bu Ran's distant and somewhat wary look. He was even sadder when he saw Ying Bu Ran's lack of comfort.
"Well, we're going too, but we won't follow her path, as that would have a certain impact on the soul. We'll cross the Forgotten River." Zhao Qingxun explained, then clutched his chest with a look of heartache, "My dear, I'm very sad that you're running away from me like this."
Ying Bu Ran twitched the corner of his mouth, took a few steps back, and immediately broke the spell with one sentence: "You're a bit disgusting."
【Zhao Qingxun】: “…”
Ying.
