“Is this the real Goose City?”
He Zhizhou raised his head and looked around. He felt a chill down his spine from the extremely cold atmosphere. "This is too... too...what the hell."
There were no lights on in the Chen residence. Only lights were on on the taller buildings in the distance, casting a few faint halos of light.
Pei Ji's black clothes matched the night very well, almost blending into the darkness, revealing only his fair and delicate face: "The evil spirits in the city are difficult to kill even for the elders, so we should not be able to do it."
"What's more, it will be midnight in two hours. If we continue to stay in Goose City, we may become sacrifices for the demon cultivators to set up formations. By then, our lives will be in danger, and we will accidentally help them achieve their goals and bring disaster to the world."
Zheng Weiqi continued the conversation seriously: "Although the net formation in this city can trap demons, it can't do anything to human cultivators. Perhaps the Buddha Tower wants us to break through the layers of pursuit and escape from Goose City before midnight. In this way, even if the evil group has cultivated into souls, once there is no living person as a trigger, the soul refining formation will not be activated."
This made sense and He Zhizhou nodded slightly after hearing it. Only Pei Ji pretended to lower his eyes casually and glanced in the direction of Ningning.
She was usually very active in thinking, but after waking up she remained silent.
He felt strange, but was too embarrassed to ask her. He stood still for a long while before he moved his throat slightly and whispered in a nonchalant tone, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
Ningning looked up in the night, the distant firelight reflected in her almond-shaped eyes. She looked a little surprised, as if she had not expected Pei Ji to ask her.
Pei Ji felt his ears getting irritated from being stared at, so he turned his eyes away silently.
“It’s nothing serious.”
She touched the tip of her nose, pursed her lips and smiled: "You may think I think too much... I always feel that things seem a little strange."
He Zhizhou looked over with wide eyes: "No way, it's weird? Is there something fishy going on in this tower? Is it really a thousand-layer cake?"
"I guess I'm just overthinking it."
Ning Ning said with some hesitation: "But the whole process was too smooth, from finding clues to revealing the truth, it seemed to be done in one go without any obstacles. How should I put it? The locust ghost made too many mistakes, and it was easy to find out. For example, the existence of the locust tree and the letter were easily known to us. Everything seemed to be arranged in advance."
"The plot in the pagoda was originally planned."
He Zhizhou didn't care about it and whispered to her, "Isn't this tower just like a group dungeon in an online game? The general plot has been set long ago, and players must follow the plot and kill monsters and bosses along the way to pass the level. If it makes the plot fancy and doesn't give any clues, how many people can pass it?"
That is indeed the truth.
Ningning nodded and said nothing more.
While the four were talking, they suddenly heard a few cold laughs coming from nearby. When he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw swaying shadows of trees in front of the backyard door. An evil wind blew and more than a dozen demons of different shapes walked out.
The one walking in front was the Huai ghost who looked exactly like Chen Lubai.
"I told you so long ago."
She no longer looked like the innocent girl in the illusion. Her long sleeves lightly covered her lips, and her eyes were full of tenderness and charm: "Once you leave the illusion, you will have more opponents than just me."
A demon cultivator with a tiger head behind her laughed out loud and said jokingly, "Why, are you addicted to this little girl's skin? It's not as pretty as the original one."
Huai Gui curled his lips and looked at him, but in a flash, his skin turned blue-gray.
The skin on her left arm and right cheek disappeared completely, replaced by a layer of dark brown branches. The branches and vines contained a bit of emerald green, and had small tender leaves growing on them, which looked very strange on the girl's skin.
"Then I'll leave it to you all. Whoever captures them and brings them back to Lingquan Temple will be credited with the greatest merit."
The witch giggled: "Then I will take my leave first and go to the battlefield to drink a celebratory drink. See you at Lingquan Temple."
She is a demon that was born and raised in Goose City. As she is an ancient tree spirit, although her strength is not top-notch, she is not too weak either. As he had created the illusion and trapped four people for such a long time, his status naturally rose and he was invited by several great monsters to drink a celebratory wine.
After saying this, Huai Gui leaped into the air, tiptoed, and landed on the wall in the backyard. Zheng Weiqi drew her sword and tried to chase after them, but was blocked by several other evil cultivators.
The narrator finally became somewhat normal, and said in a deep voice:
[Under the blood moon, demonic shadows are everywhere. The people in front of him were obviously not friendly, but one of them rose into the air with his hands behind his back, like a dragon emerging from the sea, with an aura like——]
wrong.
After the demon cultivator flew into the sky... why did his entire body seem to be broken, swinging back and forth like a twisted bed sheet, and moving backwards?
Oh, it finally saw it clearly.
It turned out that he didn't want to fly into the air on his own, but was blown away by Zheng Weiqi's furious sword energy. ——It turned out that group of sword cultivators were the ones who had real ill intentions!
It learned from its mistakes and continued with a feeling of humiliation: [It looked like a dragon emerging from the sea, and its energy was as strong as a loach turning over the ground. With a scream, it crashed heavily into the backyard wall! The thief Zheng Weiqi attacked unexpectedly and used great force, so ordinary monsters would not be able to resist. Although he was defeated today, he is still the king among monsters! ］
This level of the tower is specially opened for disciples in the Jindan and Yuanying stages. Naturally, the monsters in the tower are mainly in the Jindan stage. Especially these unimportant minions are no match for Zheng Weiqi.
The four of them concealed their auras, making it difficult for their cultivation to be detected.
Although the monsters in Goose City had never had direct contact with Ningning and others, the scenes in the illusion were projected in real time in Lingquan Temple, so they could easily know that this group of people were just disciples of a small sect who came down the mountain to earn some pocket money.
——Then what is going on with this extremely ferocious sword energy now? !
"You want to arrest me?"
Zheng Weiqi was on the verge of a rage, so she drew her sword and laughed coldly: "Let's see if you have the ability to do this!"
Instantly, the sword energy soared into the sky, shocking the locust tree in the backyard so much that it rustled and leaves fell like rain.
[Murderous intent surged in the woman's eyes, and she emanated a terrifying aura, as if the blood-filled city was also intimidated by her - and behind her, the great devil Pei Ji also drew his sword! ］
The narrator was stunned for a moment.
Then he coughed awkwardly, trying not to reveal that he had cast the villain role directly on this group of people: [Sorry, I misread the sentence. ］
[Junior brother Pei Ji also drew his sword! ］
Several demon cultivators saw that they were quite powerful and immediately restrained their fierce smiles of determination. After looking at the four people carefully, they rushed forward at the same time.
Ningning pressed the hilt of the Xinghen Sword, and when the sword was unsheathed, there was a clear sound.
[The tiger demon concentrated and held his breath, quietly waiting in the darkness for the best moment to attack.
He committed murder, arson, and looting of civilians, and was known to do all kinds of evil things, but he knew that he was a good boy - today he would show this group of righteous monks what it meant to 'Thirty years in the west, thirty years in the east; don't bully the young and poor'! ］
Amid the flashes of swords, only the narrator continued to speak tirelessly: "Damn it! That vicious woman Ningning was merciless and stabbed his heart with a sword! How could he just fall like this? ］
By the end, he was sobbing and crying like rain, as if all the protagonists were killed: [Those swordsmen who killed monsters without blinking an eye looked like evil spirits. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw his brothers around him falling down one by one. He recalled the running under the sunset that year, which was their lost youth. ］
The demons in the city didn't know their background, so they sent some small minions with low cultivation. Once the minions fail to recover in time, they will inevitably be followed by more powerful opponents.
Zheng Weiqi put away her sword and said, "Let's leave this place as soon as possible."
Although Ningning nodded subconsciously and took two steps forward, she still couldn't help but glance at the small skeleton in the corner.
Even in the fantasy world, she and Chen Yueming had only met a few times. As for the real Miss Chen Er, she had never had any contact with Ningning.
But now, the wind is howling, and the curled up skeleton is lying in the deserted courtyard. The clothes on the body are nowhere to be seen, and the empty and lifeless dark eyes look lonely and helpless.
Ningning walked forward silently, took out a piece of clothing from the storage bag, and gently covered the girl with it.
When I bent down, I saw a palm-sized booklet left on the ground.
Without thinking much, she reached out to pick up the booklet, and opened it carefully, only to find that it was Chen Yueming's diary.
The last page was opened, and the following was written in childish handwriting:
[My sister said that she had made a friend in the backyard since she was a child, and that was the very old locust tree.
She also said that although the tree had become a monster, it was a kind and good monster. A few years ago, my sister would go secretly look for it every night.
I can’t understand, where can there be any good monsters in the world? But my sister never lies to me. If she says so, then it must be true.
Tomorrow night, she will take me to meet that friend. ］
The date noted was exactly the fourth day of June.
On the second night, Chen Yueming died in the backyard.
"Chen Lubai has known that locust tree spirit for several years?"
He Zhizhou came up behind her and sighed after watching: "Then it really hid itself well, just like in "The Hidden". It must have endured for a long time. It has been friends with Chen Lubai for so many years. Wouldn't it feel pain when it kills her?"
Zheng Weiqi shook her head: "It is usually difficult for ordinary people to guess the evil things."
After a pause, he continued, "It's not suitable to stay here for long, let's leave quickly."
=====
Their guess was correct. After realizing that no one reported back, the big demon in power in the city finally realized that this group of youngsters were very powerful, and he sent out several demon cultivators in succession to search the city for them, and all of them had achieved great success in their cultivation.
Flying on a sword was too conspicuous, so Ning Ning and the others had no choice but to run towards the city gate. Seeing that more and more enemies were catching up, even Zheng Weiqi, the strongest one, felt overwhelmed.
The narrator sighs: “That’s it?” That's all you can do? If this is all you've got, you might as well not run away and just go back to Lingquan Temple to be a sacrifice. ］
Zheng Weiqi: "Shut up!"
Another Jindan Dacheng demon cultivator died under the sword. Zheng Weiqi wiped the blood off her cheek and looked at him with disgust: "This demon is really possessed. He actually tattooed the Soul Refining Array on his face."
Ningning had never seen the Soul Refining Formation before, so she lowered her head out of curiosity when she heard it.
The man was tall and strong, with fine lines outlined in blue on his skin. She raised her eyebrows, as if thinking of something: "This soul refining formation...why does it look so familiar?"
"Little Junior Sister, did you think of the Buddhist Soul-crossing Formation?"
Zheng Weiqi responded in a low voice: "The Soul Refining Formation and the Soul Crossing Formation are from the same method, and the formations are very similar in their drawings. However, the former is a forbidden technique for capturing souls, while the latter is a Buddhist formation for saving the dead and exterminating evil spirits. Although they look similar and both require a full year to refine souls, their uses are very different."
"Is there anything else?"
He Zhizhou was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, and clenched his fist excitedly: "This is an obvious clue! If we can modify the formation and change the Soul Refining Formation into a Soul Crossing Formation, wouldn't this level be easy to pass!"
Zheng Weiqi looked at him as if he were a fool.
"To activate the Soul Crossing Formation, a living being is also needed as an initiator. Most of the time, it is a method for monks and evil spirits to perish together."
Pei Ji and Zheng Weiqi killed the most ruthlessly, their eyes were bloodshot, and their voices were much hoarse: "There are only four of us in the city. We can't lose our lives in vain for a layer of the pagoda."
Although the pagoda is an illusion, the damage it suffered is real. Once you sacrifice your life, the loss will outweigh the gain.
Zheng Weiqi was quite open-minded: "If we can't pass it this time, then we can't pass it. Anyway, there is no limit to the number of times we can take the trial in the pagoda. If we fail this time, we can just try again next time."
He Zhizhou sighed, "I never thought that after so many years, I would see 'Victory and defeat are common in the military, please try again, hero' again. I think we pushed it pretty well, what went wrong?"
Soul-crossing formation, soul-capturing formation.
Use living people as an introduction.
Chen Lubai, the locust ghost.
Ningning gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and her eyebrows twitched.
Zheng Weiqi noticed that she looked strange, so she asked slowly, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
Her voice fell into Ningning's ears very clearly, but her mind was a mess, and even the voice was vague, so she couldn't make out what it was saying.
She seemed to understand something.
About some secret that none of them could fathom.
The previous illusion had so many loopholes and so many unreasonable things, but now when I think about it, all the loopholes have become traceable.
Although there is no spiritual consciousness, the setting of the Nightmare is used. With a little inquiry, one can find out that the locust tree has become a spirit, and that Chen Yueming in the illusion has a completely different temperament from his original self.
These are all very easy to think of. Since Huai Gui is the creator of the illusion, he must also understand that there are doubts of one kind or another in the illusion. But she has not corrected it yet, but waited quietly on the side, as if...
As if it was specially designed for them to discover.
It is precisely because all the loopholes are so obvious that they become even more suspicious.
——What if this was a trap set by Huai Gui from the very beginning, deliberately trying to get them out of the illusion?
She was under surveillance and could not openly release everyone from the illusion, so she resorted to this roundabout method to tell them that everything was an illusion.
The last letter was probably written because the author knew that he was being followed by Ningning and others, so he took it in his hands without any precautions, making it clear that he wanted them to understand the truth and learn about the soul refining formation.
As for why they helped them escape, maybe it was because they still had a conscience and couldn't bear to harm innocent people, and secondly...
Once the sacrifice escapes, the demon cultivators in the city will naturally try their best to capture him. At that time, there will be few guards around the formation, so if one wants to tamper with the soul refining formation, the difficulty will be much lower.
She was just a monster and couldn't find a living person to lead her, so it would be useless even if she modified the formation. But if...
Isn't she a monster?
"Besides us, there may be another person in the city."
Ning Ning's heart was beating wildly, and her voice was trembling: "Do you know that if a demon possesses a person, does that person also have demonic powers?"
Although Pei Ji spoke the least, surprisingly, he was always the first to understand the meaning of her words.
The young man frowned slightly when he heard this, and replied in a deep voice: "Indeed. Do you think what we saw was not the locust ghost, but Chen Lubai himself who was possessed by it?"
Zheng Weiqi shook her head: "But when possessed by a demon, the person's form will not change. Everyone has seen that the arms and cheeks on Chen Lubai's body have clearly turned into the shape of trees."
"Perhaps——"
Ning Ning's voice became much lower: "Those two parts no longer existed. She got help from the Sophora Tree Ghost and transplanted the trunk of the Sophora Tree... onto herself."
"But this doesn't make sense! The Chen Lubai we saw in the illusion had all four limbs intact."
He Zhizhou paused, his eyes full of disbelief: "No way! Could it be——"
Pei Ji and Ning Ning exchanged a glance, and a strange color rarely appeared in their calm eyes: "She was harmed by a demon cultivator and was seriously injured; or she witnessed the destruction of Goose City and cut off her arm herself, pretending to be a demon."
Zheng Weiqi and He Zhizhou were both shocked.
"So she is now——"
What did Chen Lubai deliberately say before she left?
The formation and the banquet are both in Lingquan Temple, "See you at Lingquan Temple".
What did the narrator say just now in a seemingly sarcastic tone?
Don't run away, just go back to Lingquan Temple and serve as a sacrifice.
My senior sister said that the reason for adding narration is to give hints when necessary. The narration is trash talking from beginning to end, but is it possible that the seemingly sarcastic remark is actually a veiled hint?
And there is Chen Lubai. She mentioned Lingquan Temple twice in a row. Was it unintentional, or...
What do you want to tell them without letting them know?
=====
Chen Lubai looked at the several demon cultivators who were unconscious at the banquet and put down his wine glass with an indifferent expression.
All the demons came out in droves, searching the whole city for those monks. In the Lingquan Temple, which should have been bustling with activity, only she was left, along with a few big demons who were toasting to celebrate.
There might be some minions outside the temple, but who would dare to come in and cause trouble? These murderous rulers are extremely moody. If they disturb the banquet, their lives might be in danger.
They were once so arrogant, but now they have been blinded by a simple glass of poisoned wine. Who would have thought that the "Huai Ghost", who is the most loyal in normal days, would put drugs in the wine at such a critical moment.
The demon cultivators are physically strong, and these drugs are deadly enough to ordinary people. Although they cannot kill them, they are enough to knock them out for a period of time.
She had been waiting for this moment for a whole year.
On the fifth day of June a year ago, evil spirits attacked from outside the city in the middle of the night. All the people in Echeng were slaughtered. Only she survived by hiding behind a locust tree.
At that time, Chen Lubai tried hard to cover her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud. She heard two demon cultivators walking by the backyard, and their conversation was extremely clear.
"As long as we refine the souls in this city for a year, we will be able to draw out the soul refining formation. By then, we will be able to ascend to heaven in one step, and we won't have to worry about the so-called famous and upright sects anymore."
The other one laughed loudly and said, "Be careful when drawing the formation. Everyone knows that refining the soul and crossing the soul are very similar. If we make a mistake, none of us will survive."
"Hahaha! How could it be wrong? Aren't those powerful Yuanying demons guarding here?"
Soul Refining Formation, Soul Crossing Formation, one year.
Human, monster.
As her only remaining old friend, Huai Gui advised her to leave the city quickly while the chaos was going on.
But a fantastic plan quietly came to her mind. Chen Lubai, who had always been timid, spoiled and playful, wiped away her tears and shook her head firmly for the first time.
She wants revenge.
"Why are you so stubborn?"
The Sophora Ghost advised her: "Your power is too small. Trying to defeat them is like an ant trying to shake a tree."
Chen Lubai just shook her head with red eyes.
In order to disguise herself as a monster, the spoiled little girl gritted her teeth and cut off one of her arms, and her cheek was also damaged beyond recognition. The locust ghost lived on her consciousness and filled the gaps on her limbs with leaves and branches. She was in excruciating pain and could only swallow all her tears quietly by herself.
Then it was natural for him to integrate into the demon cultivation.
Then he waited day after day, until he learned the drawing method of the Soul Crossing Formation, and also waited for the four people who broke into the city to practice it.
Chen Lubai wanted to save them, and she needed them to attract the attention of the vast majority of demons. After finally convincing the big demon to trap them in an illusion, he tried every means to plant clues to lure the four people out of the illusion and come to the real Goose City.
The midnight hour is approaching.
The Buddha statues in the main hall were completely destroyed, and the dim candlelight reflected a sense of desolation. She stood up, slowly walked out of the banquet hall, and came to the formation in the main hall.
The formation was drawn with blood, and there was a blazing fire burning on the altar at the center of the formation, which was used for human sacrifice.
Soul Refining and Soul Crossing are almost the same. She has already memorized the painting techniques, so it won’t be long before—
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a snort of laughter behind me.
It was as if an electric current suddenly rushed into the body, Chen Lubai's limbs became numb and he froze in place.
"I have always wondered why those cultivators walked out of the illusion so brazenly. In the final analysis, it was you who did it."
The man was speaking, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and he was completely condescending: "And at the beginning, you said that the illusion was absolutely foolproof - you just didn't want us to break the hands and feet of those people to make it easier for them to escape later."
Chen Lubai's palms were covered in sweat and her heart was pounding as she turned around.
A handsome man in red looked at her with a half-smile, and the pressure from the high-level monk became heavier.
Chen Lubai heard him continue, "I wanted to see what you were up to, so I didn't drink this glass of wine on purpose. The others who drank it in one gulp were really idiots. They even shouted for another glass. How could I be on an equal footing with this group of people? They are a bunch of rubbish!"
"Hello."
Seeing that she didn't answer, the man impatiently took a few steps closer: "Why don't you say something!"
She no longer had the strength to speak.
All the demon cultivators present are Yuanying masters, and their strength should not be underestimated. The one who has woken up now is called Ming Liu. Although he is not the strongest, his temperament is the most unpredictable.
"It's meaningless. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. Anyway, my only goal is to refine the soul formation."
Ming Liu shook his neck, making a slight clicking sound: "As for you, it's better to just say goodbye."
The moment the words fell, murderous intent rose.
A strong evil energy mixed with intense pressure rushed towards her, forcing her to spit out blood immediately.
Chen Lubai was unwilling to give in.
I've been waiting for a whole year, enduring every day and night in endless hatred, but it was just that little bit short.
She was just one step away from avenging everyone in the city.
Is it really as Huai Gui said, that everything she did was just like an ant trying to shake a tree?
The pressure grew stronger and stronger, almost shattering her internal organs. The severe pain devoured his mind bit by bit, and in a trance, Chen Lubai suddenly saw a beam of sword light.
...How could there be sword light?
In an instant, lightning struck.
A familiar shadow rushed in from outside the door with a sword in hand. The sword was like a distant galaxy that changed rapidly as it pierced straight into the man's throat.
Ming Liu sensed the sword wind, turned around and dodged quickly, and at a glance, he actually saw the missing swordsman.
"You're walking into a trap."
He smiled hoarsely: "I like it."
Ning Ning quickly exchanged glances with Chen Lubai, tightened her grip on the Xinghen Sword, raised her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't even think about touching her."
There might be something unusual in Lingquan Temple. After some discussion with the other three, she decided that Zheng Weiqi, He Zhizhou and Pei Ji would continue to attract firepower, while Ningning, who was the fastest and good at hiding her tracks, was the most suitable person to sneak into Lingquan Temple to investigate the situation.
Ming Liu was not stupid. He could see that they all came to destroy the soul refining formation. The sword cultivator who suddenly showed up was not important. Chen Lubai had to be dealt with first.
He had the intention to kill, but before he could attack, another sword light stabbed towards him.
...Damn it!
This girl was unexpectedly difficult to deal with. The sword shadows split into several lightning bolts that were as powerful as a broken bamboo, and each one went straight to his throat. Ming Liu dodged in a hurry, blood flashed in his eyes, and he bit his wrist, and the gushing blood gathered into a long knife.
The swords collided with each other, making a sharp and loud sound. Ningning was not as strong as him, so she turned over and jumped back nimbly, avoiding the blood mist that was coming towards her.
Although she was at a disadvantage, she was able to fight with Ming Liu from beginning to end. Her sword skills were ever-changing, swift and invisible. She often used clever strength and did not deliberately fight with the opponent to the death, but kept him firmly by her side.
Poor Ming Liu, although he wanted to stop the tampering of the formation, he had no time to care about Chen Lubai at all. He could only devote himself to the battle and get rid of this desperate swordsman as soon as possible.
Chen Bailu took the opportunity to cut his other wrist with a branch, and used his own blood to alter the formation drawn with the blood of the people of Goose City.
Refining and capturing the soul, good and evil are just a thought away, or just a few strokes away.
Ming Liu cursed loudly, but most of the demon cultivators in the city were chasing the fleeing sacrifices. The few minions guarding outside the temple had already been dealt with by Ning Ning. As for the other companions who were poisoned, they could not be relied upon at all.
At the end of the scolding, his voice was somewhat flustered and embarrassed, and he shouted desperately: "Please, please don't activate the formation! I will give you all my gold! If you want this cultivation, you can take it too!"
After a pause, he continued, "Why are you doing this? If you activate the Soul Crossing Formation, you won't survive either! It's better for you to stay in the mortal world and enjoy life - don't jump!"
Ningning took a deep breath, and quickly turned around while fighting, just in time to meet Chen Lubai's gaze.
She had already modified the formation and was standing in front of the burning altar. The firelight illuminated her face in a rich crimson color and her pupils were flickering with sparkling stars, as if the stars in the sky had fallen and were hidden in the girl's dark eyes.
Chen Lubai's back was shaking slightly, but her eyes were more resolute and confident than ever before. She looked straight at Ningning, and finally curled up the corners of her mouth, revealing a relieved smile.
"Miss Ningning, I didn't lie to you about what I said in Chen's house."
She said: "I really didn't want to leave the house at that time... Thank you all, I am very happy in the fantasy world."
Only in the dream she had woven, when she returned to the once misty Goose City, could Chen Lubai say to Ningning the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
She was the naive eldest daughter of the Chen family a year ago, rather than the half-demon who had changed beyond all recognition later on.
She used to always want to travel around the world and be a free-spirited female knight, but now, Chen Lubai really, really likes Goose City and the Chen Mansion, and she doesn't want to leave for the rest of her life.
Daddy always wanted to urge her to get married and never refused any request from his daughter.
Chen Lubai really wanted to know what the "unexpected gift" he mentioned would be on her birthday next year, but she waited day after day and never got an answer. The brother and sister-in-law who were always sticking together were so disgusting, but since the young couple treated her so well, Chen Lubai magnanimously said that she could forgive them.
Her sister-in-law always liked to ask her if she had a man she liked, and the little girl would always shake her head when asked. She doesn't want to get married, and to be honest, she actually likes the feeling of sitting on the street selling calligraphy and paintings when she is old.
But she will never grow old again.
There is also Yueming, who always loves to play in the mud and is no different from a tomboy.
Because he grew up under the care of his elder sister, Yueming always listened to her. Even if he brought back muddy water from playing house outside, he would be the first to run to her, hold the bowl in front of Chen Lubai with sparkling eyes, and ask her foolishly if she wanted to eat.
When the evil cultivator entered the city that day, she and Yueming were chatting with the locust ghost in the backyard. After hearing the screams, she knew something was wrong, so she hugged her younger sister and hid behind the locust tree.
There were cries everywhere in the Chen Mansion. Chen Lubai had never heard such miserable cries and pleas for mercy, but she was powerless to do anything and could only cover Yueming's mouth with tears in her eyes.
Their sobs could be faintly heard in the night. They saw two evil spirits covered in blood approaching step by step. They would soon bypass the locust tree and come to them.
For the first time, Yueming did not listen to her and stand still. Instead, he suddenly broke free from Chen Lubai's arms and ran in another direction.
Her always well-behaved and obedient sister never looked back from beginning to end, and until her death, she never even glanced in her direction.
Then blood spilt everywhere, a foul smell filled the air, Yueming was dead, and the two demon cultivators did not continue searching inside.
That was the first time Chen Yueming acted on his own, and also the last time.
Chen Lubai has always understood that she is timid, spoiled, and reckless.
But even so, she still wanted to do something for Goose City, which she loved deeply.
They were already halfway through their plan.
Just try a little harder and be a little braver.
She and Huai Gui can avenge everyone in the city.
The girl raised her head silently and took a last deep look at the land she loved so much - perhaps what she loved most was not Goose City, but the people in the city whom she would never see again.
Dad, brother, sister-in-law, Yueming, the servants who were scared away by the horses, the hawkers who always entertained her with a smile, and the children squatting in the streets and alleys playing in the mud.
They were all so nice, she couldn't bear to leave any of them.
The hour of midnight has arrived and the bells are ringing.
The next moment, the clothes fluttered and the flames became suddenly thicker.
The flames surged from the bottom to the top.
The blood array soaked on the ground seemed to have sensed something. It should have been a dull dark red almost black color, but now it was emitting bursts of golden light, instantly illuminating the dark twilight and reflecting the mostly damaged face of the Buddha in the hall.
The golden light slowly rose into the sky, becoming more and more numerous and denser, until it finally gathered into a tremendous force and turned into a beam of light as powerful as a long dragon, shooting straight into the sky.
The mist and thick clouds were completely blown away, and the dazzling golden light quickly illuminated the dome, revealing a quiet, bright moon in goose yellow.
Then there was a loud buzzing sound, and without any warning, beams of light suddenly exploded in all directions, transforming into countless long bright golden lines, pouring down like raindrops on this long-abandoned town.
It is like the gods and Buddhas coming to the world, and all the evil spirits have nowhere to hide, and they all turn into smoke and dust.
On the fifth day of June, the Soul Crossing Formation begins.
Hundreds of demons and evil spirits in Goose City were killed by the formation that he had painstakingly created.
And a young girl's bureau.
