Chapter 68 (Being cursed)



Ran Ran quickly swung the stick to knock away the water droplets. At the same time, the tall man finally jumped out from the bottom of the water.

Ran Ran was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Master..."

Su Yishui, who had just jumped out of the water, seemed to be in great pain, grabbing the cliff and banging his head against it, making painful sounds. Ran Ran's heart sank, thinking that Lingquan was still on his master's body, and he hurried over.

But Su Yishui suddenly raised his head, his eyes widened, then he just glanced at her indifferently, and disappeared under the cliff like light and shadow.

At this time, the underworld began to shake, and rocks kept falling from the cliff. The underworld began to breathe in and out, absorbing the spiritual spring, and entered the stage of self-repair.

The other three people seemed to have disappeared, but Ranransi had no feeling that she was about to be expelled from the underworld.

Although her extremely yin constitution allowed her to be as light as a swallow and as comfortable as a fish in the underworld, the underworld could not sense her extremely yin constitution when it was expelling aliens. In other words, if there was no one with a yang constitution to lead her, Ranran would not be able to find the exit and would be left in the underworld forever.

Ran Ran didn't understand why her master clearly saw her just now, but seemed not to know her and just left alone.

At this time, the underworld collapsed even more violently. Ran Ran had no place to stand. She could only jump quickly among the falling rocks, shouting loudly: "Master! Master!"

The only answers she received were the rumble of huge rocks and the roars and cries of monsters in the abyss below.

Ranran knew that when the cliff collapsed completely, she would fall into the abyss and there would be no recovery!

In this situation, she had no choice but to jump on the falling stones in vain...

Unfortunately, she missed the step and her whole body began to fall rapidly. She slowly closed her eyes, not wanting to see the scene of her body being torn apart by monsters in the endless abyss.

At this moment, her wrist was tightly grasped by someone. Ran Ran suddenly opened her eyes and was surprised to find that her master had returned and grasped her wrist in time.

Because of his masculine constitution, he was suspended in mid-air, as if some force was pulling him upward like a magnet. Ran Ran was caught by him and finally stopped falling.

Although Su Yishui caught her, his eyes were clear but cold: "Who are you? Why do you have my Jindan aura on you?"

Ranran was stunned. She didn't understand why her master seemed to not recognize her?

At this moment, there was no more blood-red color in his eyes, and the black lines on his neck had completely disappeared, but his whole aura was still gloomy and oppressive, and became somewhat strange.

"Master...it was you who gave the Jindan to the Reincarnation Tree that allowed me to be reborn! I am your disciple Xue Ranran!"

Su Yishui frowned and looked down at the girl he was holding. At this time, he was in the underworld, and his memories were jumping back and forth, especially the recent memories, which were scattered and connected, and there was something indescribable and chaotic.

Although he couldn't remember why he came to the underworld, he knew that he would leave the underworld soon.

For some unknown reason, this little girl with big eyes and tears in her eyes was attracted by the abyss and kept sinking.

He didn't know her, but he could sense his Jindan aura on her.

Su Yishui certainly would not allow his Jindan to be swallowed by the underworld, so he grabbed the little girl.

At this moment, a golden crack appeared in the air, swallowing them up in an instant and disappearing in the dazzling golden light.

Ranran was dazzled so much that she couldn't open her eyes. At the same time, she felt as if her body was being pulled constantly by two forces. She screamed out in pain and could only hold tightly onto the hand that was holding her tightly.

When she opened her eyes again, she was still dazzled by the bright light. However, the bright light was the glaring sun above her head. The bright sunlight shining on her body indicated that she had returned to the human world.

But the disgusting feeling of being torn apart had not completely disappeared. After slowly closing his eyes and regulating his breathing for a moment, he opened his eyes again.

When she sat up, she found herself lying in the wilderness that was once full of magic flowers.

When the underworld opened, the magic flowers and the corpses that were sucked dry on the sea of ​​flowers dissipated into powder, and the desolate autumn has returned here...

Ranran felt that this wasteland seemed even more desolate than before, and there were even signs of ice on the ground. She was wearing autumn clothes which could not keep her warm. If she did not mobilize her true energy, she would be frozen in a moment.

She looked around and found that there was no one else in the wilderness except her.

No one knew where the master, Wei Yan, and Tu Jiuyi had gone, and there was no trace of the uncle-master and Qin Xuanjiu either.

Just then, she finally heard what seemed to be a fighting sound in the distance.

She quickly stood up and walked over. It turned out that Wei Yan and Su Yishui were fighting each other... Well, what she said might not be accurate. It was Wei Yan who was being beaten by the master.

Wei Yan obviously had no chance to gain an advantage. The majestic robe of the dignified Lord Chimen was torn into strips, his hair was disheveled, and he looked completely devoid of his domineering aura.

He originally thought that Su Yishui had just been separated from the spiritual spring and his vitality was weak. In addition, he had put a soul-cleansing talisman on him, so his memory was confused. If Su Yishui was lucky enough to escape from the underworld, it would be a good opportunity to attack him.

So at the moment when Su Yishui pulled Ranran out, Wei Yan's whip rolled up.

Wei Yan walked on Tianmai Mountain and soaked in the black pool to restore a lot of his basic spiritual energy. Although he was bitten by the immortal insects a few times, he recovered after a period of time. In addition, he secretly plotted against many people with righteous roots and replenished their spiritual energy, so his cultivation level was slightly improved.

In the underworld, due to the aura barrier, he was unable to fight against Su Yishui who possessed the Lingquan. But now that Su Yishui has returned to the Lingquan, Wei Yan's true qi should have surpassed Su Yishui who lost half of his Jindan.

This is also the reason why Wei Yan had the confidence to go to the underworld with Su Yishui and ambush him here.

But no one expected that Su Yishui, who should have been weak, would be assisted by a god, and his attack was fierce and powerful, with surging and intimidating internal energy.

The man who had just returned from the underworld seemed to have just opened a seal that had been closed for a long time. An evil spirit overflowed, and every move was vicious and deadly.

Moreover, the magic he used was surprisingly similar to Wei Yan's, and every move was to absorb people's spiritual energy. This time, Su Yishui didn't even need to use the magic vine, and openly practiced the magic way to replenish other people's spiritual energy.

If it were anyone else, they would have been torn to pieces by Su Yishui. Wei Yan's skills were not low, far superior to those of the three major sects' masters, but he was still unable to resist and was defeated again and again.

Fortunately, this was not the first time that Wei Yan pretended to be a grandson. Even though Ran Ran was watching, Wei Yan could not save face. He used the remaining spiritual energy to summon a large cloud of black mist and escaped with the seriously injured Tu Jiuyi Langxiong.

When Su Yishui and Ranran were left alone in the wilderness again, Ranran ran towards him happily, but was repelled by Su Yishui with a ruthless wave of his sleeves.

"Who are you? Why do you always call me Master? Could it be that you are a thief sent by Wei Yan to take my Jindan?"

Ran Ran was dumbfounded as she listened to her master's cold words, not knowing how to respond. She vaguely guessed what the talisman Wei Yan had was.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

Ran Ran turned around and saw that it was two uncles riding horses.

When they saw Su Yishui and Xue Ranran from a distance, they cried for joy, shouted loudly for their masters, and galloped towards them on horseback.

"You guys are finally back! We've been waiting here for a whole month. We've been coming here every day and we're getting desperate!"

Yutong had already started crying. She dismounted from her horse with a smile, hugged Ranran first, and then said to Su Yishui.

One day in heaven is one year on earth, and the time in the underworld is obviously somewhat inconsistent with that in the human world.

Ranran and the others only felt that they had been delayed in the underworld for a few hours, but a full month had already passed in the human world.

No wonder Ranran felt that the weather was getting colder. It must have been winter by now.

Ran Ran saw her uncle and the others, but there was no joy on her face. Her master had returned to the human world, but she felt that she had lost her master...

Fortunately, Su Yishui still remembered the siblings Yuchen and Yutong.

His memory was a little strange now. He could remember all the annoying things about Mu Qingge in his previous life, and he hadn't forgotten anything.

But he forgot most of the events of the Fan Yao battle and how Mu Qingge died tragically. Then, his memories of the past two years became jumpy and jagged, and he completely forgot all the memories related to Mu Qingge and Ran Ran.

The soul-cleansing talisman cleanses the love in the world. Su Yishui has now forgotten the heart-throb past and has returned to being the stubborn boy who does not know what love is.

When he heard from Yu Chen that Mu Qingge had been dead for twenty years, he showed some anger on his face: "I didn't kill that witch myself?"

Xue Ranran huddled aside, listening to the two uncles working hard to restore the master's memory. What she was thinking about at this moment was the shocking burden that Wei Yan had shaken off in the underworld - she, Xue Ranran, was not the reincarnation of Mu Ranwu, but the reincarnation of the real owner Mu Qingge.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, at this moment, Master no longer has the sweet memories with Master Mu in his memory. All he has is the resentment of being forced into Xishan and being teased and despised.

If she said now that she might be the real reincarnation of Mu Qingge, she would be torn into pieces by her master immediately and eaten with sauce.

So she simply shut up and sat aside, feeling sad in silence.

The master was trapped in the talisman, and not only forgot the past with Master Mu, but also forgot all the sweet things he had with Xue Ranran.

On the island, the two of them snuggled together and watched the rainbow seabirds and the little dragon playing in the water. But she was the only one left who remembered these beautiful moments...

Although Ranran is ready to return to Lingquan, she and her master may pretend that nothing happened again and restore their normal master-disciple relationship.

But she never expected that her master would be more decisive than she thought and would actually eradicate her completely.

After returning to the town from the wilderness, Su Yishui's brows were still furrowed. If Yu Tong and Yu Chen were not his trusted confidants, he would have suspected that they were talking nonsense and making up stories.

What did it mean that he gave up half of his Jindan in exchange for Mu Qingge's chance to reincarnate because of his consideration for the relationship between master and disciple?

Moreover, there were two fruits on the reincarnation tree, one of which was born with congenital defects, and that was his beloved disciple Xue Ranran.

Why did he keep her in Xishan, teach her skills at all costs, and take such great care of her in order to prolong her life?

And the most ridiculous thing is, he went to the underworld just to return the spiritual spring that he had stolen with great difficulty?

Su Yishui had a hunch that he had been under a spell, and that everything he did was foolish and without any rules.

Although his memory was temporarily incomplete, Su Yishui did not feel that there was anything wrong with him. But did he really act like this? Why was he like this? He had to slowly find the reason...

But when he heard that Su Yu had defeated his father, Prince Ping, and successfully ascended the throne, Su Yishui was really furious and said in a cold voice: "What happened to me before? The mutiny that I had painstakingly planned for a long time failed? How did you assist me? Or did you team up with others to plot against me?"

Yu Chen and Yu Tong knelt on the ground and said helplessly: "Master, this is really your decision. Moreover, Mu Qingge suddenly intervened in worldly affairs and assisted Su Yu, which turned the situation around. Everything is a fixed number and cannot be reversed by human power!"

When Su Yishui heard that his elaborate plan had failed at the hands of Mu Qingge, his face darkened and he slowly uttered three words from between his teeth: "Mu Qingge!"

This female demon was really his demon! Why didn't she die in his hands?

But I heard that she has been reborn now, so I can slowly settle the hatred with her...

Thinking of this, Su Yishui slowly turned his gaze to the four so-called disciples standing aside.

These four people are all stupid and unlovable. Especially the prettiest girl, although she looks nice, she is Mu Qingge's sister Mu Ranwu...

Thinking of how she had once hinted to him that she could betray her sister for him, and how she had informed him of everything since then, Su Yishui truly felt disgusted with this woman with no bottom line.

This little girl named Xue Ranran was born from the Reincarnation Tree. No wonder she has her own elixir aura.

As his mind was racing, Su Yishui suddenly made a move, trying to capture Ranran, absorb all her spiritual energy, and take back his own Dan-forming power.

His murderous intent was evident and he made no effort to conceal it.

Everyone in the room shouted "No". Yu Chen knelt down and hugged his master's thigh tightly, while Yu Tong protected Xue Ranran with his arms like an old hen: "Master, we didn't lie to you. Ranran is really your beloved disciple, and you love her the most. I don't know what kind of talisman that damn Wei Yan put on you and sealed your memory. Please don't act rashly, otherwise I'm really afraid that you will regret it when your memory is restored!"

Uncle Zeng Yi was standing beside him, opening and closing his lips several times, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

For a while, the hall was in chaos.

Although the two Yu brothers and sisters were not Su Yishui's opponents, their years of servanthood finally allowed Su Yishui to temporarily avoid murderous intentions.

But he said frankly that he was not used to strangers following him, so these four stupid apprentices were not allowed to get too close to him.

When the first snowflakes of early winter fell, the four abandoned disciples of Xishan were ruthlessly driven into the street by their master and left to find a place to stay on their own.

The four brothers and sisters standing under the eaves looked at each other miserably.

Bai Baishan looked at his three fellow disciples and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect that you would be kicked out by the master like me... It's okay this way, at least I have an explanation when I go home. After all, I'm not the only one who has been abandoned..."

Gao Cang had never expected that the first thing his master, whom he had waited for a month to return to, would do was to disown them. After hearing the second apprentice brother's cold words, he was so angry that he burst into tears: "You are the one who abandoned the disciple! We didn't break any of the sect's rules, so why are you kicking us out?"

Bai Baishan was not convinced: "You and Qiu Xier were both bewitched by the magic flower. How is this different from me being seduced? It's clear evidence of your weak minds! You deserve to be kicked out!"

This time, Qiu Xier also started crying with the senior brother.

At this time, the door behind them opened a crack, and several people turned around in surprise, thinking that the master couldn't bear to ask them to go back. But the second uncle who showed his head said apologetically: "Well... your master is going to meditate, and he thinks you are too noisy, so you should all go away quickly. It's dark now, and the teahouses and restaurants are closed. The inns in the town should be full. If it really doesn't work, you can go to the ruined temple in the west of the city to light a fire to avoid the snow, and then find an inn after the snow stops..."

Listen, does this sound like something your uncle-in-law would say?

Ran Ran, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up: "Let's go. Master has just returned from the underworld and needs to practice meditation."

By this time, the snow was falling harder and harder. The four abandoned disciples from Xishan were walking forward, one step deep and one step shallow. Qiu Xier wiped her tears and said, "Ran Ran, are we really going to spend the night in the ruined temple?"

"Wherever you need to destroy the temple, follow me." At this time, a voice came from behind them.

Ran Ran and the others looked back and saw that it was their Fourteenth Uncle Zeng Yi who had caught up with them.

"I also have a pharmacy in Wuma Town. You two can stay there temporarily with me."

After hearing what their uncle said, the four of them followed him obediently to the pharmacy in the east of the town.

Although this place is smaller than the horse farm, it is at least a place to stay. Zeng Yi asked his staff to prepare bedding and settle the children. Seeing Ran Ran looking listless, he took advantage of the two of them being alone to comfort her: "You also know that your master has been bewitched by an evil talisman, so don't blame him. If he continues to be ill, I will send you back to reunite with your parents. Didn't you tell me that you wanted to finish your studies early and go down the mountain to serve your parents?"

Ran Ran went to the table silently and poured a cup of tea for her uncle. Suddenly, she said, "In the underworld, Wei Yan said that I was Mu Qingge. Uncle, do you know the whole story?"

After saying this, she looked straight at Zeng Yi, and Zeng Yi's expression was frozen as if it was covered with paste.

After a while, he finally put down the teacup slowly with red eyes, then knelt down to Ran Ran with a thump: "Master, I am unfilial and have never recognized you. Please punish me, Master!"

Ranran asked this question just to test him. Maybe Wei Yan was just talking nonsense. She couldn't take the devil's words seriously, right?

She never expected that her uncle's reaction after hearing these words would be so big, and he knelt down in front of her so honestly.

Ran Ran was startled and quickly knelt down, trying to help his uncle up: "Fourteenth Uncle, what are you doing? Aren't you going to kill me?"

But Zeng Yi refused to get up, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Master, what Wei Yan said is true. You are Xishan Mu Qingge, our master. As for the one now, he is just a fake. I know this matter, and Su Yishui knows it too. But he is afraid that you will bear the responsibility of your previous life, so he is unwilling to tell you. I also think that letting you live a safe and happy life in this life is better than anything else. We acted on our own, and please punish us, Master!"

Ran Ran tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail. She could only sigh and sit up again, looking at Zeng Yi kneeling on the ground, her head buzzing.

This time in the underworld, the yin and yang were reversed, and the master and the disciple were confused. She was confused for a while, and she had to calm down and slowly sort out the clues.

Zeng Yi cried and acknowledged his master, but he was worried and warned: "Master, your spiritual power now cannot compare with Su Yishui. He has forgotten his past and seems to be a bastard when he first became your disciple. You must not reveal your identity in front of him, otherwise, he will probably turn against you!"

Ran Ran blinked and asked again: "So the current Master Mu is... Mu Ran Wu?"

Zeng Yi nodded and sighed, "Master, you... please don't be as soft-hearted as before..."

Ran Ran smiled bitterly: "Uncle Master, please don't call me like that. I am just an 18-year-old girl now. If others hear me calling you master, they will think it's weird..."

Zeng Yi nodded repeatedly and said yes.

In fact, in his opinion, it was a good thing that Su Yishui had forgotten his mentor Mu Qingge. There was an ill-fated relationship between the two of them, and it would be a blessing if they could separate and live well.

Now Su Yishui was a bit cold towards him and treated him coldly. He treated Ran Ran like a stranger. If Su Yishui always wanted to take Ran Ran's cultivation to supplement his own Jindan, it would be bad.

Now that the matter of Lingquan was over, there was no benefit in staying here any longer. He might as well take his master and leave as soon as possible, away from the disputes and grudges of the previous life...

Zeng Yi planned this, so he asked his servant to pack his bags before dawn the next day and prepare to leave.

But before they had finished cleaning up for a while, Yu Tong came again and said that Su Yishui asked Zeng Yi to come over to inquire about the business entrusted to him.

Most of Zeng Yi's current businesses were actually entrusted to him by Su Yishui before he retired to Xishan. He was just a custodian.

Now Su Yishui suddenly called him, obviously wanting to take back his property.

Zeng Yi thought it was nothing. After all, the savings he had accumulated over the years were enough to support his master and ensure that he would have no worries about food and clothing. If he didn't have to manage those businesses, he would be able to relax.

But when he returned to the horse shop, he saw the handsome and cold man sitting at his desk, frowning at the small gadgets all over the table.

On the table there were straw grasshoppers, a half-finished paper lantern, and two small snack baskets containing month-old, somewhat hardened dried sweet potatoes and other small snacks.

Su Yishui felt that none of these were his own creations, but the two Yu brothers and sisters insisted that they were all put there by him, including the handwritten notes recording the steps of making the lantern, which were indeed in his handwriting.

This is really annoying. Su Yishui suspected that he had been cursed in the past, otherwise why would he do such an extremely boring thing?

When Zeng Yi walked in, Su Yishui waved his arm and swept everything on the table into the dustpan beside him.
