Chapter 62 Chapter 62 What if they are separated by two worlds? He will also kill...
At that moment, Bai Lu's heart was overwhelmed with ecstasy. He didn't think about anything else. He just wanted to go home quickly, otherwise he was really afraid that the light would disappear.
The moment Huo Xuexiang grabbed her, the pulse on her wrist seemed to be enlarged, and the vibration spread throughout her body. When she heard him say don't leave, Bai Lu's heart was inexplicably moved. She immediately regained her thoughts and said with difficulty: "Master, I know you can't bear to leave me, but I have to go home."
Hearing this, Huo Xuexiang's throat moved and his hands loosened a little.
But the atmosphere did not relax.
Bai Lu, who originally wanted to go home, felt reluctant to leave because of this obstacle. He thought of his past in the world of immortal cultivation, including his master's words and deeds, but his eyes were still filled with a bright light that was difficult to erase.
The light of the silk book was still shining on the faces of those present, as if it could swallow up the white dew in the next moment.
Do you really want to let Bai Lu go?
The two worlds are separated, and Huo Xuexiang is determined to stay in this world. If he never sees her again...
Huo Xuexiang's loosened fingers suddenly tightened again, and he grasped Bai Lu's wrist! He raised his other hand and placed it on the silk ribbon covering his eyes, and was actually considering pulling it off.
Master? Bai Lu looked at Huo Xuexiang in shock.
Huo Xuexiang said that this silk ribbon was used to prevent his own skills from running and to seal part of his cultivation. As long as the silk ribbon was torn off, his strength would increase. What did he want to do with the increase in strength? He couldn't possibly want to destroy this teleportation technique...
Bai Lu looked at her master in a trance, feeling a sense of danger and a scorching temperature on her wrist.
Such a master is so strange!
It even reminded him of... those two scholars, and the chief couple.
It's not just Master, it's me too. Why didn't I even verify whether this was really the path to home, but just based on the similar scene, I felt that it was time to go home?
And...how could I let go of my master and everything here without any regrets?
Bai Lu shuddered, and with the hand that had not been caught, she directly pulled Huo Xuexiang's hand off the silk ribbon, and said anxiously: "Master, wake up! Something is wrong here!"
After he said that, he hesitated again, and was not sure whether Huo Xuexiang was also an illusion. After a moment of hesitation, he let go of Huo Xuexiang, and took the initiative to strike out with a sword talisman, heading towards the silk book and the teleportation array!
"Spring!"
The sword light pierced through the night, as brilliant as the fireworks at a lantern festival, and also caused the invisible aura that was entangled with them to stagnate, revealing a flaw, just like a crack in the dark clouds that revealed sunlight and illuminated the dark and dusty place.
Huo Xuexiang paused for a moment, caught a glimmer of clarity, drew his sword and slashed, and a cold light suddenly appeared!
Bai Lu had seen Huo Xuexiang wielding a sword countless times, and his skill was as concise and sharp as he was. But at this moment, perhaps because his mind had been bewitched just now, the sword light was tinged with a strong murderous intent.
The sword roared like a dragon, and sword energy poured down. In the blink of an eye, the strange aura that enveloped everyone was completely dispelled, and the world became quiet.
In an instant, the light disappeared, but the silk book remained.
But what was clearly covering the silk book was a skinny, translucent hand. Looking upwards, there was an extremely strange face. The facial features were all misplaced. The ears were in the center of the face, and one eyeball was on top of the other on the chin. It looked so messy, like a puzzle that had been put together incorrectly by a child. Perhaps such an appearance could only be seen in nightmares.
When he found that they were awake, this guy said "Huh?" in surprise, raised his hand and wrapped himself in thick black air, and his abstract face was obscured again.
Affected by his master's mind, Chao Tianzi also came to his senses and threw himself into the broom.
Bai Lu rode on the broom, scattering talismans around the strange ghost, and picked up a puppy by the way - the moment he woke up, the little boy turned back into a puppy.
They didn't even know when they had fallen into this half-true, half-false illusion created by the ghost!
Bai Lu thought she had seen what she wanted most, but her mind was so shaken that it was even harder to tell what was real and what was fake.
Even the master might have been affected by the hallucination, which surprised Bai Lu particularly.
Fortunately, the flaw was discovered and it did not pose any difficulty to the careful wizard.
Huo Xuexiang raised his sword and headed towards the ghost in the black fog.
This monster is best at confusing people and overcoming hardness with softness. At this moment, it was gathering its mental strength to bewitch them, but Huo Xuexiang was already clear-headed. The momentum of the sword was unstoppable, shattering all of its defenses in one go, and even going straight in from behind and cutting off half of its face!
This ghost that looked like a puzzle screamed. An ordinary person would have no chance of survival after being hit by Huo Xuexiang's sword. But it was not a human being. Its body dimmed a little and half a face grew on it. It held a silk book in its hand, slapped the ground, and drew up the thoughts of countless people in the town, turning them into golden threads and used them as weapons to attack Huo Xuexiang.
Bai Lu wanted to go up and hit it a few more times, but Huo Xuexiang had already drawn his sword and swiftly dealt with the monster. Somehow, he was even more fierce than usual.
The first sword just now cut off half of the ghost's face. Seeing that it was fine, the Mokong Sword flew out with a "clang" sound, pierced straight into the spine and nailed the soul, nailing it to the temple pillar.
"Ahhh——" The sword energy swept through the soul, and the intense pain made the ghost howl. The whole body broke into several pieces, with only wisps of black energy connecting in the middle, and it was on the verge of collapse.
He could no longer hold the silk book in his hand and it fell to the ground, where it was picked up by Bai Lu.
"The silk book seems to be real... No wonder it is so powerful, even Master was fooled." Bai Lu has seen Posaur use the witch clan's silk book legacy to summon the ancient monster. No wonder Master didn't notice it immediately just now.
Thinking of the scene just now, Bai Lu felt a little scared, but couldn't help but say proudly: "I was almost knocked unconscious by it, but fortunately I know that Master is not that kind of person. This abstract ghost wants us to kill each other, how vicious!"
The master was so good to him and helped him find clues about the witch clan. Even if he was reluctant to let him go at this moment, how could he force him not to leave? It was simply an attempt to sow discord. Fortunately, he had full confidence in the master. This was definitely not the real master!
Moreover, it was impossible for him to leave this world without any worries. Looking back, the world of cultivation had left a deep mark in his heart, whether in life or study, especially his master...
Bai Lu quickly glanced at Huo Xuexiang, who seemed to have no special expression. After all, he was the master, and the overall situation was more important!
Huo Xuexiang's hand holding the sword tightened imperceptibly, and was stiff for a moment.
Because only he knew his true thoughts in the illusion just now.
If there is no mind, how can thoughts come automatically?
Just like Bai Lu had always had a desire to go home in her heart, she was instantly bewitched. When he really faced the scene of Bai Lu leaving, he really couldn't bear to watch Bai Lu leave. It was this thought that allowed the ghost to take advantage of the opportunity to influence him, and he almost did something extraordinary and selfishly kept Bai Lu.
Faced with Bai Lu's complete trust at this moment, he almost didn't dare to face it.
It was also at this moment that Huo Xuexiang looked directly into his heart. He really loved his disciple. Perhaps he had already fallen in love with the fluffy touch and warm breath when he touched Bai Lu's hair.
These past few days, when I was alone in a place where no one knew me, this desire was further magnified, as if I was in a dream that I didn't want to wake up from.
He dismissed the prophecy of Boluan Immortal Lord as nonsense, and always believed that he had to guard this world. However, Bailu only wanted to go home. He felt that sooner or later he would find Bailu's way home and send Bailu back to her own world. He even didn't know how much of a master-disciple relationship Bailu had with him...
But when you are actually in the hallucination, it feels like a cruel drill that you have to watch.
In fact, once a thought arises, it is difficult to suppress it. Being immersed in Shenguan Bay for a while is no longer enough to stop the thought. Looking back, he must have a place in Bailu's heart, and all the body temperature should not be his wishful thinking.
Of course, there are still obstacles between the two of them.
What should I do?
Like a dream, he would have selfish thoughts, or just stand there in vain? No, that was not what he wanted.
Huo Xuexiang gave up his ascension not because he was afraid of the power of heaven. His sword was not broken and his heart was not extinguished. So, no matter how far the two realms separated him, he would cut through them.
Thousands of distracting thoughts flashed through his mind in just a moment. The sword cultivator had made up his mind, but he could only suppress them all and face the strange scene before him.
Lord Shen Guang was so scared that he hid behind the raised floor tiles. His face turned pale. "What is this thing? Has it been hiding in my temple?"
As the master of the temple, he knew nothing about it, as if he had also been bewitched.
Bai Lu looked at Huo Xuexiang for help, as if he was completely focused on thinking about this ghost.
Huo Xuexiang was distracted for a moment. It seemed that Bai Lu had not yet thought of all this. After all, he had always been free and undisciplined. If he acted rashly, he might scare him. It was nothing. He would wait until all obstacles were removed...
Huo Xuexiang calmed himself down and said, "Nightmare ghost."
This unique appearance makes it easy to recognize.
"What kind of ghost is that?" Bai Lu hadn't figured out what a nightmare ghost was. She stared at it for a moment and said, "Let's just call it an abstract ghost!"
This looks so up and down, it's too abstract.
"Oh! It's it!" Lord Shen Guang also remembered that he had heard of the name of Nightmare Ghost in his long life. "The one who bewitches the mind, stirs up the seven emotions and six desires in people's hearts, and absorbs the resentment is the Nightmare Ghost. But the Nightmare Ghost has always lived in the underworld, and it is rare to see it in the human world."
Occasionally, there would be ghosts escaping from the underworld in the human world, but Lord Shen Guang had only seen a few of them, because when they did, they were usually killed by the disciples of the famous families, and there would not be enough for them to share.
Bai Lu also dug out from his mind that he had indeed heard of the setting of the underworld. Junior Sister Cai Qing said that any evil creatures from the underworld should be killed, and she also made him worry about his identity from another world.
Recalling the skills of the Nightmare Ghost, I felt that it really looked like that, just like what I saw in a dream, a mess.
And in this way, the strange things that happened in Shenguan Bay can be explained, they were all manipulated by the nightmare ghost.
Lord Shen Guang slapped his thigh after he realized what was happening: "Am I also bewitched by it? I was saying that I never wondered why I suddenly improved after so many years of practice, and those lovers I blessed are always quarreling!"
It seems that the nightmare ghost has been attached to his temple all along, and can even use his spores to influence everyone in the town, stirring their thoughts and amplifying negative emotions, just like what happened just now.
The nightmare ghost feeds on people's resentment, and no one knows if this one is attached to Lord Shenguang or if it just likes to break up couples. Every time Lord Shenguang comes to bless people, it starts to stir up trouble and make people quarrel again, making them break up and get back together like a perpetual motion machine.
Moreover, in this way, they also knew why the disciple who came to Xuanshan earlier was unconscious. It seemed that he had escaped from the nightmare but was still struggling with his inner demons.
"Master, this abstract ghost is not dead yet, right? Can we piece it together? We have to torture him to find out where this silk book came from. Also, ask him if he knows where the ancestor is." Bai Lu poked Huo Xuexiang and said. They should have deduced that the strange things in Shenguan Bay were pretty close, but there were still some unclear points that needed to be explained by the Nightmare Ghost himself.
The witch clan's magic can reach the underworld, but they have disappeared for a long time, and only some relics are left in the world. Posaur from Liuxian Gorge was obtained from an auction, and no one knows where this nightmare ghost was obtained.
"I left a glimmer of hope." Huo Xuexiang also knew that there were still things he hadn't asked, so he drew back the Mokong Sword and cast a spell on the nightmare ghost, making it piece itself together.
The wisps of black energy received the power and tried to move closer to each other.
Lord Shen Guang was watching nervously, wanting to ask in person to confirm whether he had been murdered - this was related to whether he would be dealt with by Xuan Shan!
Wangcai had come close to Lord Shenguang again without knowing when, and sniffed him a few times, almost making him fall forward. He felt so embarrassed that he immediately stood up, holding up his robe, and said angrily: "Go! Go! Wangcai, don't forget who raised you!"
Wangcai lives in the Shenguang Houye Temple. Aren't all his food and expenses paid for by the temple? How come he is not considered to be supported by him?
"Come here, Wangcai, come to me." Bai Lu squatted down welcomingly, pursed her lips a few times, summoned Wangcai over, and picked him up.
Thinking of the illusion just now, Bai Lu was a little surprised: "Did you see Wangcai turn into a little boy just now?"
Although he was bewitched, he clearly remembered that they felt something was wrong in the temple and were looking for it. He saw Wangcai transformed into a little boy with ears and took out the silk book...
After getting a positive answer and confirming that he was not the only one who saw it, Bai Lu began to doubt Wangcai's identity: "Why did Wangcai become a little boy in the illusion? Moreover, Wangcai seemed to have found the silk book earlier than Master. Did the nightmare ghost deliberately attract him so that the silk book would be revealed to cast the nightmare spell?"
But that's not right. This silk book is the real thing. If it is to let them see what they want in their hearts, then Bai Lu just happened to travel through time because of the silk book, so he can see the illusion, right?
Huo Xuexiang's mind was still partially focused on what had just happened, so he had no time to think about anything else. He looked carefully for a moment, then stepped forward and cut the red string around Wangcai's neck.
"Hmm? Hmm?" Bai Lu lifted up Wangcai. It was different. The red rope was like a barrier. Now that it was cut, he could feel a faint aura flowing through Wangcai's body. "Wangcai, you have something!"
“Dog demon?” Chao Tianzi also pinched Wangcai’s mouth and looked at him, and came to a conclusion, “It’s a dog demon!”
Wangcai still looked at them innocently with his little eyes and licked Bailu's hand.
The demons also have Taoist bodies and can transform into human forms. In addition, Wangcai has been raised in the temple with humans. In the nightmare ghost's illusion, he also becomes the image of himself in his mind: a little boy with the characteristics of both humans and dogs.
Bai Lu looked at Shen Guang Xiao Hou and said, "How come Wang Cai is a dog demon? Do you know?"
Lord Shen Guang was also stunned. He stamped his feet on the ground angrily and said madly, "What do you people think of my place? Nightmare ghosts hide here, and dog demons come to my door! This Wangcai was picked up by the temple keeper at the door of my temple, and he just thought it was abandoned... Ah, you dog people, you give birth to a bunch of them, why don't you raise them yourself!"
I’m afraid that his temple won’t accept him, so I’ll seal away the evil spirit!
——Although Shenguan Bay is a human settlement, there are people of all races in Xingjie Island, and passenger ships occasionally travel to and from the seaside town. I don't know which wicked monster gave birth to the baby and just left it in his temple.
Lord Shen Guang was at a time when he was doing good deeds and gaining a reputation. The incense offerings in the temple were quite good, so the temple keeper naturally accepted the incense, thinking that it would be enough to just pay for the incense.
Probably because the Shenguan Houye Temple was originally filled with mixed auras and contained many hidden things, and Wangcai was still young, and the evil aura was sealed, so no one noticed anything was wrong and they just thought it was an ordinary local dog.
"It has more children, which is better than Dujuan from the Feather Tribe, who would abandon other people's children and replace them with his own." Chao Tianzi was quite knowledgeable and was not surprised at all. "But this puppy's physique looks pretty good, so it's not necessarily given away randomly. Maybe he really has no other choice."
Lord Shen Guang knew that there were no dog demons nearby, so he was afraid that a passing dog demon had abandoned Wangcai for some unknown reason. He looked up at Wangcai and sighed, "Well... well, since this is the case, it is also fate, so I will let you take root here..."
As he was talking, Lord Shen Guang saw Bai Lu hiding Wangcai behind him.
Lord Shen Guang: “?”
"I didn't steal the dog." Bai Lu emphasized.
The wizard made a good defense: "I just think that your place is not very big. If Wangcai goes back to Xuanshan with us, he will have a better life. He has a good relationship with us. He has no parents, so he can practice in Xuanshan. I have also received a broom spirit before, and it was very happy in Xuanshan."
When Lord Shen Guang heard this, his heart was beating wildly: "Then will you adopt me? My parents have withered away long ago."
Bai Lu: “…”
"Go away. We in Xuanshan don't have the space to build a temple for you. Why are you joining in the fun by building the Xiangji Dao?" Chao Tianzi sent him away. Although Xuanshan was tolerant, it was deep in the mountains after all.
Lord Shen Guang said "Oh" with a dusty face. He was also tempted. Xuanshan was so famous. If he could rely on Xuanshan, he would have a backer. But when he thought about it, he had practiced Xiangji Dao for so long, and going to Xuanshan was not the right way.
Lord Shen Guang looked at Wang Cai with envy: "Well, it's a bargain."
"Then we can let Wangcai be in charge of patrolling the mountains from now on." Bai Lu had already thought of a job for the child laborer. She poked Wangcai's ear and thought of his equally cute human form. "Wangcai looks so old, but I didn't expect he's already four or five years old."
"What do you mean four or five years old? He is at most three months old. He was placed outside the temple more than two months ago, and his eyes had just opened at that time." Lord Shen Guang corrected.
Then why does he look like he is four or five years old? Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that it was right. The calculation method was different. "Oh, that's right. A three-month-old dog is equivalent to a four or five-year-old human... Three months, huh? Three months?"
Three months ago, wasn’t that July?
Xuanshan and the others stared at Wangcai strangely...
Lord Shen Guang was frightened by this strange pause, "What, what happened?"
Huo Xuexiang took out the sachet and the armor of Ancestor Keyun, and put it close to Wangcai to cast a spell. The thin and warm soft armor emitted a faint precious light, and then flew towards Wangcai suddenly. In the blink of an eye, it was worn on the puppy perfectly!
Wangcai turned his head and nibbled at his armored body unnaturally, "Woof?"
Is it really you?!
No wonder they couldn’t find him before. It turned out that the target had already appeared beside them and even took the initiative to approach them.
Bai Lu was speaking incoherently: "Ancestor? Wangcai? Ancestor Wangcai!!"
It turns out that it’s not the baby ancestor, but the puppy ancestor!
