Xiang Sheng shook his head and said, "The restrictions in this mountain contain forbidden blood lines. I have already eliminated all the blood lines in my body, so I'm fine now."
When she said this, a cold look flashed in her eyes.
If one really uses the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Technique to break through this forbidden mountain, he will be eroded by the forbidden bloodline like the Mad Heavenly Demon.
This erosion was extremely covert, hidden deep inside her acupoints. It was not until the acupoints were almost full that the forbidden energy wandering in her meridians detected a hint of abnormality. It was truly impossible to guard against.
The Nine-Layered Pagoda was built by Master, yet it is filled with forbidden bloodlines. Could this be the reason why Master was misunderstood as a forbidden entity?
Now was obviously not the time to think about these things. She guessed a few things in her mind, then quickly put her thoughts aside and looked up at Qingmu.
"There's no one here. Since you've come out, there's no need to go back. How about staying and helping me carve the jade slip?"
Upon hearing this, Qingmu walked straight to her side, swept away the pile of discarded jade slips, sat down cross-legged, took out a blank jade slip, and silently began to engrave it according to the intricate patterns on the cliff.
Xiang Sheng was satisfied to see that he was so self-aware. He then took out an engraved jade slip and studied it attentively.
She was immersed in contemplation, but she didn't know that Qingmu had glanced at her several times while carving the jade slip.
To be precise, Aoki was looking at the sweat on her forehead that had not yet disappeared.
Isn't she...in pain?
Aoki lowered his eyes.
The pain of having one's blood line pulled out can be seen from Xue Kun's end. It is truly like taking away one's soul and breaking one's meridians and bones.
Although Boss Shi had only been eroded by the blood line for a short time, it was definitely painful to remove it.
Just looking at the sweat marks on her forehead, you can tell that she must have suffered a lot before.
But she acted so calm and composed, and even continued to study the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Technique without stopping.
It seemed that this little pain was nothing to her.
With such a strong heart, what on earth did Boss Shi go through in the past?
The desire to explore arose in his mind again, but he quickly suppressed it.
Something is wrong.
Before, even when he was working with other people, he would not be curious about them again and again, regardless of whether they were men or women. So why was there this frequent desire to explore now?
He really didn't like this kind of impulse that was beyond his control.
Could it be that a blood transfusion would affect one's character? Or is there something wrong with the blood left by the mother?
Thinking of this, Qingmu slowly tightened the strength between his fingers, and then there was a crisp "pop" sound.
Xiang Sheng turned his gaze and saw the jade slip in his palm that had been broken in two. His brows furrowed slightly, "What happened?"
Qingmu came back to his senses and threw the jade slip away naturally. "I made a mistake. Start over."
Xiang Sheng's gaze swept across Qingmu's face and quickly retracted.
There were no mistakes or omissions in the runes on the jade slip.
She had no interest in knowing why Qingmu crushed the jade slip. After all, it had nothing to do with her.
After that, Qingmu was completely focused and never crushed the jade slip again.
With his assistance, Xiang Sheng no longer had to waste time on engraving and could devote himself to deducing the prohibitions. His progress in comprehension improved visibly.
However, this final step to perfection is not so easy to cross.
There is no sun or moon in the mountains.
Time flows like water, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This year, Xue Kun finally woke up.
At that time, Ji Qingya was holding the black jade bead in a daze. When he sensed the movement of the bead, he thought he was hallucinating again.
It wasn't until Xue Kun emerged from the black jade bead that he stared blankly at his senior brother for a long time. He then stood up in shock and spoke rather nervously, "Big...you, you're awake?"
Xue Kun was silent for a moment and nodded.
His mind was in a mess, with memories of the past and present entangled together, and many unfamiliar memories that did not belong to him kept flashing back in his sea of consciousness.
Fortunately, he was a celestial immortal after all, so even if his immortal soul was damaged, he could quickly figure out the problem.
Seeing what he had done over the years under the influence of the forbidden bloodline, his lips curled into a straight line.
After a long time, he finally relaxed, raised his eyes and looked at Ji Qingya steadily, with heartache in his eyes:
"Junior brother, you have suffered."
Ji Qingya didn't think it was a big deal at first, but when he heard these words, he suddenly felt extremely wronged, his nose felt sore, and he almost cried.
His voice choked: "You...are back?"
Xue Kun sighed bitterly after hearing this:
"Junior brother, what I said in this tower was not my original intention, but I ended up hurting you and nearly bringing you to ruin.
You don't want to call me Big Brother anymore, it's also because of your feelings..."
"Who said I don't want to?!"
Ji Qingya's voice rose.
When he heard this, he was sure that the eldest brother had turned back into the original eldest brother, and he was so happy in his heart, but when he saw the eldest brother's face, he felt angry.
He crossed his arms, turned his head and snorted, "I mean... I won't forgive you that easily!
When you get out of here, you have to prepare a hundred... no, a thousand Heavenly Flowing Lotus Hearts for me to atone for your sins!"
Xue Kun was deeply comforted to see that he still had such a childlike nature, and responded with a smile:
"Brother, I'll prepare 10,000 for you. I'll keep my word."
When Ji Qingya heard this, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face, but he forced himself to hold it back, snorted lightly, and did not embarrass his senior brother anymore.
When the two of them talked to this point, Xue Kun noticed that there was an old man standing behind Ji Qingya in an unusually obedient manner.
He took a closer look and his brows immediately furrowed.
If his memory served him correctly, this person was Liang Dang, the second elder of the External Affairs Hall of Yeqing Palace.
Long before, Liang Dang had become rebellious and was a pawn used by Ji Zhongyu to target his junior fellow apprentice.
Moreover, he was able to replace the Fifth Elder and come to the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, even with "his" own tacit approval.
I have been sleeping for so long, but this person didn't take the opportunity to attack my junior brother?
Liang Dang sensed Xue Kun's gaze, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He trembled and fell to his knees without saying a word, crying:
"I know I was wrong! I was confused for a moment, I won't dare to do it again..."
"Shut up!"
Ji Qingya roared impatiently, and Liang Dang immediately covered his mouth with his hands and remained silent.
Ji Qingya's ears quieted down. He turned around and saw Xue Kun, who was shocked. He scratched his head embarrassedly and explained with a smile:
"He wanted to do something bad before, so I taught him a lesson.
Sister Shitou said he didn't deserve to die, and that I had taught him a lesson enough, so I took him as my slave.
I didn't expect this guy to be so timid. It's been several years, and he's still so jumpy."
Xue Kun looked at the smile on his junior brother's face, which was as cheerful as before.
But his intuition told him that something was different.
Although Liang Dang's temperament is despicable, he is an earthly immortal after all, and he is not so easily frightened as to become as trembling as he is today.
What did Junior Brother do while he was sleeping?
Was this change caused by the corpse collector named Shi?
Thinking of this, Xue Kun suddenly thought of something more important and his expression changed slightly.
