Chapter 47
Jitang led the disciples of Wei Hai Palace out of the sea. The disciples were taken over by other cultivators, and a hand was stretched out in front of her.
She looked up and saw that it was Zhang Zhuyou.
Zhang Zhuyou took Jitang and flew to the front of the team on his sword.
He shouted into the sea breeze, "Hold on!"
Ji Tang took off the oxygen bottle, the sea breeze blew on her face, and she took a deep breath.
At this moment, I really wanted to shout "It's great to be alive", but before I could take two gulps of sea water, Zhang Zhuyou covered the two of them with a magic weapon, blocking out all the sea breeze.
Zhang Zhuyou turned his back to her and said, "My dear, I really want to thank you for this time!"
His tone was sincere, without any of the previous impatience and contempt.
Ji Tang: "Senior, there is no need to do this. I went into the sea with Senior Brother Sun this time because I wanted to do something for Senior Wang Shou."
Zhang Zhuyou asked, "What did you find out?"
Now the only one who is awake is Jitang. The others are either missing or in a coma. She is the only one Zhang Zhuyou can ask.
Ji Tang first quickly recounted the incident, then took out a tortoise shell and said, "This is the shell I found in the coral cave. I initially thought it was the medium of the illusion, but later found out it wasn't. I wasn't sure if this shell was part of the illusion, so I brought it back."
Zhang Zhuyou took it and examined it for a moment, then said disappointedly, "There's not a trace of spiritual energy on it. It should be just an ordinary shell."
Ji Tang nodded silently. She couldn't see anything special about the shell. Zhang Zhuyou was more advanced than her in cultivation. If Zhang Zhuyou also said so, it meant that the shell was indeed unimportant.
She casually tossed the carapace into her storage bag and asked, "Senior, is the female cultivator that Senior Brother Sun is holding his Taoist partner?"
After Zhang Zhuyou rescued his disciples, he also found that more than a dozen disciples of Team Wei 11 were still alive. The situation was urgent at the time. If Jitang had not reminded him, he would have given up on those disciples. Therefore, he was particularly grateful to Jitang for not delaying the rescue due to his carelessness.
He said, "That's Sun Xie's biological sister. They have been worshipped in Weihai Palace since they were young and have been dependent on each other for survival."
Ji Tang understood, "No wonder Senior Brother Sun cares so much, it turns out she's my sister."
"I just observed for a while in the coral cave," Zhang Zhuyou said angrily, "They actually used a seriously injured person as a medium for illusion. This kind of behavior is simply not something that a reputable and upright sect would do. I suspect that the person who created this illusion is most likely an evil cultivator!"
Ji Tang: "I think so too." Of course, except for those who are beasts in human form.
Everyone returned to Wei Hai Palace, put the injured disciple down, and immediately went to the outer sea to continue searching for people.
The disciples of Team 11 and Team 12 have been found, but the disciples of Team 15 and Team 19 are still missing. However, with Jitang and the others leading the way, Zhang Zhuyou's search is much clearer.
Jitang first helped Jiang Ruiwei, Jin Fengning and others to settle the injured disciples, then met with the four elders of Wei Hai Palace, explained the whole incident in detail, and temporarily lived in the Disciple Pavilion of Wei Hai Palace.
Before Xu Gaoce contacted her, she had plenty of time and could finally see what was in the nightmare card she got from Senior Wang Beast.
She entered into a state of meditation.
The wooden house in the sea of consciousness has not changed, but there is a lot more space outside.
Now, in addition to being able to see the entire wooden house, she could also see a large open area outside the sea of consciousness. The dark purple smoke had faded a lot, and the empty space allowed her to use the power of her soul to condense three identical two-story wooden houses.
Jitang made a plan in his mind. When he had free time, he would transform these vacant spaces into mountains, rivers, flowers and plants. It would surely look magnificent.
There were two nightmare tablets floating on the roof of the wooden house. The first one contained three bamboo slips - a letter left by her mother and two supreme internal skills of the Nightmare Clan.
Ji Tang's eyes turned, his mind moved slightly, and the second nightmare card quickly flew in front of him.
She opened it and saw a fragment of a secret realm. Ji Tang took it out and carefully examined it for a moment, and was surprised to find that it was one of the fragments of the map of the secret realm inherited by the Nightmare Clan.
The secret realm of the Nightmare Clan’s inheritance is where every patriarch of the Nightmare Clan receives inheritance, just like the inheritance place of the predecessor, the Sturgeon Shark King Beast.
The secret realm contains the Nightmare Clan's top internal and external skills, as well as numerous treasures. Unlike the Qingmang Dragon Clan, the Nightmare Clan's inheritance secret realm can only be entered by the inheritor. The secret realm recognizes the inheritor as the master, and everything within belongs to the inheritor. Unless the inheritor dies or finds a successor to continue the legacy, no one else can enter.
Jitang's father was the previous, thirteenth generation, patriarch of the Nightmare Clan and the master of the inherited secret realm.
Although the Nightmare Clan now has its fourteenth-generation patriarch, Xue Mei, he has yet to find the secret realm of inheritance. He lacks recognition from the secret realm, and his cultivation remains elusive, preventing him from becoming part of the core lineage of Nightmare Clan leaders.
Ji Tang held the fragments of the secret inheritance scroll, feeling both surprised and nervous.
She had no ambitions for the position of clan leader, but as long as she collected all the fragments, she could piece together a complete map of the inheritance secret realm and find its true location. If she couldn't enter the secret realm, it would prove that her father was still alive, and she would be at peace.
She carefully placed the fragment into the nightmare card and took out the image stone inside.
The image stone can record the images that the monks want to keep, and it has a wide range of uses. It can be used as a confidential stone to preserve important content, or as an ornamental stone to preserve memories.
Ji Tang used nightmare energy to activate the image stone, and the image stone emitted a beam of light. The range of light gradually expanded, and ten images gradually emerged in the light.
Jitang opened the first section and saw the person in the video, she couldn't help but walk forward.
The image shows her parents standing in front of the wooden house where she lives in the Nightmare Clan.
This video was recorded in spring, when the area in front of the cabin was full of greenery and blooming flowers.
With smiles in their eyes, the parents called Jitang's name to the image.
Ji Tang was almost about to touch the image, and when the image began to ripple as she approached, she nervously stepped back, fearing that she would damage it in the slightest.
The parents in the video looked very affectionate and were asking her if she had practiced the Nightmare Flame Technique well.
Ji Tang knew that what she saw was just an image, but she still nodded obediently and practiced the Nightmare Flame Technique, wanting to show her parents the results of her practice.
The parents in the video naturally didn't answer.
This is the image of her parents teaching her the first level practice method and experience of the Nightmare Yuanyan Upper Art.
Ji Tang felt a little sad. It was a pleasant surprise for her to see her parents in this way. It was as if her parents were still by her side, accompanying her to grow up and teaching her how to practice.
Jitang looked at the other images again.
The images of the Nightmare Yuanyan Shang Jue and the Nightmare Chengshu each have five sections, a total of ten sections. Ji Tang cherishes these images very much. They are the only precious treasures that can make her feel close to her parents.
She also knew from the ten images that the first nightmare card contained only the first volume of the Nightmare Yuanyan Supreme Secret and Nightmare Inheritance Book, which could be refined up to the fifth level.
If you want to practice martial arts to the highest level, you must enter the secret realm of the Nightmare Clan.
She put the image stone away and looked at the last thing in the nightmare card, the fragment of her soul.
The soul fragment is a part of Ji Tang, and it is also the memory she has always wanted to recover. She can't wait to take the fragment into her body and merge it with her soul.
At the moment of fusion, Jitang saw himself when he was a child.
She had two pigtails and was getting off the dragon boat with her parents and landing on the Haijinyunjian Island.
It turned out that she had been to Haijinyunjian Island a long time ago, but she had forgotten it.
Jitang silently noted the plaque on the inn where the three people entered.
They came to the top floor, where they could see the endless blue sea from the high platform.
My father filled the glass with wine while my mother drank tea.
She saw the orange liquid in her glass and it smelled sweet.
My mother's voice was still ringing in my ears, "Tangtang, this is mist sweet juice, try it."
Jitang stretched out his two little hands, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Her mother laughed at her and said, "We haven't eaten yet. Don't drink too much of these sweet things. We will have your favorite dishes later."
Ji Tang nodded, put the empty cup aside, and smiled: "Mom, in addition to the drum crab, I also want to eat five-spice mandarin fish cakes, fried golden cakes, lotus banana rolls, and cream pineapple jelly..."
Wen Jihuai disagreed: "Why do you eat so many sweets? Aren't you afraid of getting cavities?"
Jitang showed her his teeth and spoke vaguely, "My teeth are fine!"
Ji Yulan shook her head and smiled, "Let her eat what she likes. When she grows up, she might not like these sweet things anymore."
Wen Jihuai glared at her and said, "You just spoil her."
The food was soon served, and the small plate in front of Jitang became piled higher and higher. She ate with great relish.
Wen Jihuai said gently, "Shall we go find Wuxun in the afternoon?"
Ji Yulan: "Okay."
In the afternoon, Jitang fell asleep in the inn, and when he woke up, his parents had already returned.
Jitang guessed that Wuxun was the predecessor of the Sturgeon Shark King Beast.
In his memory, Xiao Jitang only knew that the purpose of their trip was to come to Haijinyunjian Island to borrow the Wangchuan Mirror from Qingxuan Lipo Mansion, but he didn't know what the Wangchuan Mirror was used for.
Now that I think about it, perhaps her parents had already started looking for a place to place the fragments of her soul.
When she was young, she just thought of it as an outing with her parents, and in her memory, her parents did go out with her for several days.
Except for going out on the second day after arriving on the island, Ji Yulan spent the rest of the time playing on the island with the mother and daughter.
Ji Tang originally thought that she was a natural swimmer, but he learned from his memory that she was a landlubber when she was young. The first time she choked on water was at the beach of Haijinyunjian Island. She was so scared that she burst into tears. Ji Yulan and Wen Jihuai had to work very hard to finally coax her into peace.
Jitang felt like she had experienced a real dream. She was little Jitang, and her happiness, curiosity, fear, and joy were all very real. When she finished the dream, part of her memory was also filled.
The memories of the first and second nightmare cards are from her childhood.
She lives with her parents, carefree and well protected.
This wonderful memory made Jitang feel that the emptiness in her heart was filled. She patted her heart and felt that there was still warmth and joy in her body, which made her feel at ease.
Seeing that it was still early, Jitang found the first video left by his parents and planned to learn the first level of the Nightmare Yuanyan Sutra from them again.
*
Three days later, Xu Gaoce contacted Jitang using the spiritual communication stone.
Jitang went to gather in front of the stone pillar outside Wei Hai Palace.
When Jitang arrived, Xu Gaoce was speaking in the crowd.
He saw Jitang and immediately waved to her, "Jitang, here!" He came up and asked, "I've heard about the coral cave. It's only been three days. Are you okay?"
Ji Tang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Xu. I'm fine, don't worry!"
Xu Gaoce brought her to the leader of the crowd.
"Elder Qiu, this is Jitang. Jitang, this is Elder Qiu Runfang. This time, Elder Qiu will take us to the place where Senior Wangshou inherited his legacy."
Ji Tang saluted Elder Qiu and said, "Greetings, Elder Qiu."
This was her second time meeting Elder Qiu. The first time was when she returned to Wei Hai Palace from the Coral Cave. She explained the situation in the sea to the four elders.
Elder Qiu looked to be about forty years old, still as charming and graceful as ever, but it was unknown whether he was actually several hundred or a thousand years old.
She looked very friendly and smiled when she saw Jitang. When Jitang bowed, she quickly used her spiritual power to lift Jitang up.
"We've met before, no need to be polite. We didn't have time to talk in the meeting room, but we'll have plenty of time to chat along the way."
She asked Xu Gaoce: "Gao Ce, are Sun Xie and the others awake?"
Xu Gaoce replied: "He hasn't woken up yet, but the illusion has been broken. I think he should wake up in the next two days."
Qiu Runfang looked at Jitang with a smile, "Then wait until we come back, and then have Sun Xie and the others treat you to a big meal as a token of our gratitude."
Qiu Runfang didn't act like an elder, and Jitang suddenly felt that their relationship had become much closer.
Jitang also smiled and said, "Okay."
She remembered the name of Yongfu Inn and decided to go there to eat.
The inn where she lived with her parents when she was a child was Yongfu Inn. So many years have passed, and no one knows whether the inn is still there.
Now that she has regained her memory of this place, she is definitely going to go and take a look.
