Who saved him?
Xue Kun felt the dull pain in his meridians and acupoints all over his body, and his expression kept changing.
There is no cure for the taboo!
This is the iron rule that has been inflicted on countless celestial beings who have died tragically under the influence of taboos.
But he actually broke this iron rule, escaped the influence of the taboo and woke up.
How could this be?
He carefully recalled the memories after leading Ji Qingya into the bloody space, but he only remembered that someone came to stop him. He had no recollection of the specific process.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ji Qingya: "Junior brother, do you know... who saved us?"
"Big Brother, don't you remember?"
Ji Qingya was surprised and was about to tell the whole story, but he swallowed the words back and said with a smile:
"I don't know either. You sucked my soul away and I passed out in pain. How could I know what happened?
After I woke up, Sister Stone came looking for me."
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xue Kun's reaction.
Although Brother Qingmu said that the blood line on the eldest brother's body had been completely removed by Sister Stone.
But when it comes to taboos, you can never be too careful.
He couldn't fully trust the eldest brother yet. Naturally, he couldn't say much about Stone Sister.
Xue Kun raised Ji Qingya since he was a child, and he could tell at a glance that his junior brother was lying.
Although there were many loopholes in the lie, it was the first time he saw his junior brother lying so naturally, and he felt both relieved and frustrated.
My junior brother has made so much progress in just a few years. It seems that the corpse collector is a better teacher than me.
Moreover, his ability to break free from the control of the taboo and regain consciousness was probably due to the corpse collector.
This method of restraining taboos is unheard of. If it becomes popular, it will definitely severely damage the taboos, or even destroy them in one fell swoop, and restore peace to the star world!
However, whether this can be accomplished depends on the intention of the corpse collector.
Before that, he had to help keep the secret so that it wouldn't be discovered by the Taboo and harm the corpse collector.
He can't repay kindness with enmity.
Xue Kun's mind was in turmoil. After a while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Since Miss Shi came here, why is she nowhere to be seen?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingya pointed towards the clouds on the top of the mountain and said, "This is the third floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda. My sister is still on the mountain trying to break the restrictions."
Xue Kun looked towards the Forbidden Mountain as he was told, and suddenly some fragmented memories emerged from the depths of his sea of consciousness.
After he absorbed it, his expression suddenly changed.
not good!
That corpse collector is in danger!
He didn't care about his serious injuries, stomped his feet heavily on the ground, and rose from the ground. He quickly ran up the black stairs. In a moment, he crossed a distance of three hundred feet and reached the top of the stairs.
But Xiang Sheng was not the only one sitting cross-legged on the top staircase.
He stopped walking, and Aoki's hands also stopped moving at the same time.
Looking back at Xue Kun's pale face, he raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked down a few steps, and said lightly: "Are you awake?"
Xue Kun stared at Qing Mu's unfamiliar face and couldn't help but frown. Before he could ask a question, he heard Ji Qingya, who was chasing after him, say:
"Don't do it, big brother. He's one of us! His name is Qingmu, and he's my best friend."
Xue Kun's expression relaxed slightly. Although he didn't know when his junior brother had gained a new ancient demon friend, now was not the time to worry about those things.
He quickly organized his words and said, “Hurry up and make Miss Shi stop!
This forbidden mountain has long been tampered with by taboos. Once the restrictions are broken, one will be eroded by the bloodline without even realizing it."
As soon as these words came out, Ji Qingya's face changed drastically: "Sister Stone!"
He rushed up without saying a word.
Qing Mu flashed to stop him and said in a deep voice:
"Boss Shi discovered this six years ago and has been on high alert ever since, so he hasn't been harmed.
If you go over now, you will only disturb her meditation."
Ji Qingya immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go down the mountain, but was stopped by Xue Kun.
"Big Brother?"
Xue Kun didn't look at Ji Qingya, but raised his head and stared at Qingmu, saying solemnly:
"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, may I ask when Miss Shi will stop meditating? I have something important to discuss with you, and it concerns this forbidden mountain."
Qingmu looked at Xue Kun quietly for a moment before slowly speaking, "Boss Shi's perception of time varies. When she stops, I will convey your words."
Xue Kun immediately clasped his fists and said "thank you".
After watching Qingmu go up, he pulled Ji Qingya to sit on the steps and asked in a low voice:
"How did you get to know this Brother Qingmu?"
"It's all fate!"
Ji Qingya chuckled: "Brother Qingmu and I were both seriously injured and taken in by Sister Shitou."
"When did he enter the tower?"
"Brother Qingmu has always been here, hiding in Sister Shitou."
After Ji Qingya finished speaking, he realized that he had accidentally said too much and immediately shut up.
Seeing him like this, Xue Kun stopped asking questions and thought of the black jade bead that had been sleeping before.
The bead was made of Suiyu, a kind of top-grade spiritual material that could bear the forbidden power.
The runes on the surface of the beads are no different from those on the cliffs of this mountain.
Based on this, it is not difficult to infer that Miss Shi is proficient in breaking the Heavenly Demon Ban.
And if the ancient demon named "Qingmu" also hid in a similar jade and sneaked in, then it means that Miss Shi's Heavenly Demon Prohibition was not learned after entering the tower, but she was good at it from the beginning.
wrong!
Xue Kun suddenly thought of the ancient Yingsu Saint who died in his hands, and his heart trembled.
Miss Shi was able to break the forbidden mountain to such an extent that the ban outside the door was a piece of cake for her.
Was it really Ying Su who opened the seal of the Nine-Layered Pagoda Gate?
With her attainments in restrictions, if she secretly changed the restrictions on the stone gate and fed them to Yingsu, it would be easy to break without anyone else in the field being able to tell.
Could it be that I have been used as a knife by him?
Thinking of this, Xue Kun couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
If this woman really has such deep scheming, then her invitation to enter the Nine-Layered Pagoda by Ji Qingya was just a coincidence, or...
Xue Kun closed his eyes, not daring to think any further, nor being able to think any further.
No matter what, Miss Shi is the savior of him and his junior brother.
Without her, he would have been trapped in the abyss of taboos all his life, and who knows how many mistakes he would have made.
Moreover, all of this is just his guess, and he can't say anything until it is confirmed.
Otherwise, it would only hurt the relationship between Junior Brother and Miss Shi.
Xue Kun thought about it over and over again, his mind was complicated.
Ji Qingya stared at the figure sitting cross-legged at the top of the stairs. His mind was empty and there was only one thought in his heart.
Brother Aoki’s words don’t count. He still has to see Sister Stone with his own eyes before he can feel at ease.
Seven days later.
Xiang Sheng, who had been sitting stiffly for a long time, suddenly moved.
She began to slowly form seals with her hands, and an illusory millstone gradually condensed into shape and finally fell into the jade slip.
Then, a golden light flashed on the surface of the jade slip, and the runes changed several times, and then turned into black powder and completely dissipated.
Looking at the jade slip in his hand that had turned blank again, Xiang Sheng let out a breath, his eyes bright and clear, revealing a sense of ease.
Finally took this step.
