After breaking the restriction of the jade pipa bell, Guan Jiyue sent Guan Xue back to her room to rest, and then returned to the front hall. She originally wanted to come and see how Ren Qiao was doing, but she didn't expect that Ren Qiao was taken away by Jin Banwei to rest, and even used spiritual paper to block Min Ziyu and the others' way.
Min Ziyu didn't seem to be completely careless. She didn't think that Min Ziyu's ability was not enough to break the spiritual paper that Jin Banwei had casually laid out, but the spiritual paper had Jin Banwei's blood on it, and once it was broken, it would cause damage to Jin Banwei.
The only explanation is that Min Ziyu did not want to hurt Jin Banwei at this moment.
She bypassed the passage, avoided the spirit paper, and appeared in the front hall.
After all, she had received benefits from Yan Tao, and she could even now feel how terrifying the growing power in her body was. She knew that she had a dual responsibility towards Min Ziyu.
Originally, I just wanted to take a look at Min Ziyu's condition, but now I can't leave.
It's not that she wanted to get in touch with Min Ziyu and Leng Xiangying, but Min Ziyu looked very guilty, and she fell into endless self-blame. If he was so depressed that he committed suicide, she was afraid that Yan Tao would come up and settle the score with her.
You definitely can't try to reason with a ghost like Yan Tao.
It’s not that she is extremely scared of Yan Tao, but Yan Tao is still trapped in the hellfire. It would be bad if she brought the hellfire out with her and burned the heirloom furniture in her shop.
Finally, when Guan Jiyue's patience was about to run out, they waited for Jin Banwei to arrive.
Jin Banwei collected the spirit paper and appeared in the front hall. Seeing Guan Jiyue, she was a little puzzled: "Sister Jiyue, the spirit paper is not broken, how did you get out?"
Before she could respond, Min Ziyu had already walked quickly to Jin Banwei. Just as she approached Jin Banwei, she slowly distanced herself from her, lowering her eyes a little bit. She said softly, "How is she?"
"Asleep."
Hearing Jin Banwei's answer, Min Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She moved to a position farther away from Jin Banwei, slowly squatted down, holding her hair with both hands, with an expression that was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad: "I'm sorry."
Hearing Min Ziyu's apology, Leng Xiangying could only step forward to speak for Min Ziyu. She looked at Jin Banwei with a smile and said, "Banwei, Master Min has reflected on her mistakes for a long time. She knows that she did something wrong. Please forgive Master Min. She has been looking for her daughter for so many years. It is understandable that she is a little crazy."
Jin Banwei is not a person with a bad temper. She is a little bit vindictive now, but if she really wants to hold a grudge against Min Ziyu, she doesn’t know how to take revenge on him.
She sighed deeply: "I don't mean to blame Master Min, nor do I forgive him. It's just that Shen Charen and Sister Gui died too painfully. She can't go through that kind of pain again."
When she said this, Leng Xiangying's face suddenly darkened: "By the way, do you know how Ren Qiao died?"
"Well, I stole the nightmare's memory and got a general idea, but not the specifics." Jin Banwei pinched her palms so that she could tell the truth in a calm tone: "It was a sacrifice. Her skin was peeled off alive and made into a magic weapon. Her heart was eaten by the Red Luo Gu. The bell was her scapula."
It is hard to imagine what kind of pain Ren Qiao went through when his soul was merging.
Everyone present was stunned, and Min Ziyu raised her head suddenly. Her eyes were complicated, showing guilt, self-blame, regret and hatred.
After all, she is still a mother who loves her daughter.
She pursed her lips and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
Because of Min Ziyu's special identity, Jin Banwei had no way of blaming her or hating her.
When Ren Qiao's injuries subsided, her heart slowly calmed down. At this moment, she felt even more soft-hearted when she heard Min Ziyu's apology. She walked up to Min Ziyu, squatted down and looked at him: "Master Min, I know you want Ghost Sister to have a complete soul. I want it too, but before I can find a way to merge her soul without causing her pain, please don't force her soul to merge, okay?"
Min Ziyu saw a pair of very gentle eyes. Everything seemed to be just as Leng Xiangying said. Jin Banwei would not bother with her anymore after she calmed down. She had a pretty good nature, even good.
Min Ziyu blamed herself more and more. She lowered her eyes and said, "I, I will listen to you."
?
Why did Min Ziyu suddenly become so easy to talk to? Jin Banwei looked at Leng Xiangying, who had been alone with Min Ziyu for a long time, in surprise. She certainly didn't think that it was Guan Jiyue who persuaded Min Ziyu. Guan Jiyue didn't seem like someone who would waste time chatting with Min Ziyu.
When Leng Xiangying saw her looking at her, she suddenly straightened her back and patted her chest silently, full of pride.
That look seemed to say, "You're welcome. I know I'm special and beautiful."
She has changed, but Leng Xiangying has not changed.
Leng Xiangying is still as wicked and talkative as ever, her expression changes as quickly as turning the pages of a book. She is also very good at praising herself, and of course she is still reliable at critical moments.
It really helped a lot.
Ren Qiao said that Min Ziyu might have mistaken her for a thief, but Jin Banwei didn't think Min Ziyu would talk nicely to a thief. If she talked to Min Ziyu, it would be good enough if they didn't break down.
Jin Banwei breathed a sigh of relief. She turned her head and looked at Guan Jiyue who was frowning in thought and asked, "Sister Jiyue, where is the bell?"
"The moment the restriction was broken, the bell turned into powder and dissipated."
It's better to dissipate. No matter how good that kind of magic weapon is, it is insidious. It's a pity that those people can use it with peace of mind.
Not all of them are human, there are also monsters.
Thinking of the demon, Jin Banwei's face became solemn. She stood up again, closed the door of Guanhetang, and pasted a piece of spiritual paper on the door. Then she said to Guan Jiyue, "Sister Jiyue, the one who scared Sister Hu and the others with the demon-killing sword that day was the Yellow Kite Demon."
Guan Jiyue's expression changed slightly. She did not doubt Jin Banwei. She just asked, "Banwei, what did you see?"
Sure enough, Guan Jiyue trusted her enough.
Guan Jiyue thought about it, and suddenly took out a token. With the appearance of the token, the layout of Guanhetang changed slightly. She then said, "Speak, they can't hear you anymore."
These two are naturally the monsters from Yang Street.
The monsters on Yang Street are all very nice, but most of them have lived on this street with Huang Yuan for thousands of years. If they hear it, there is no guarantee that something will not go wrong. It is also possible that some monsters will impulsively question Huang Yuan.
Jin Banwei immediately told everything she had seen, including those who murdered Ren Qiao and their conversation.
After listening to her, Leng Xiangying immediately told Guan Jiyue and Jin Banwei about the immortal bone that Min Ziyu had just told her.
Guan Jiyue frowned more and more. She took a piece of paper and wrote Sheng Mao's name and the word "immortal bone" on it. "Banwei saw eight people, Zhuo Ning, Huang Yuanjing, Sheng Mao, Mi Kong, and a blind snake demon whose name is unknown, and the black-robed woman who led the group, and two men who did not show up. Zhuo Ning has been taken to the underworld. She has a soul-binding spell on her, and the underworld has no way to extract her memory. We still cannot know the identities of those people, but we can start with the people we know."
"Immortal bones. Our Guan family also has records of them. This kind of natural immortal is actually not much different from immortals. The only difference can even be called the advantage after the Kunlun Immortal Bridge is broken. Before they are officially conferred the title of immortal, they do not need to rely on immortal energy to survive. But... the appearance of immortal bones requires sufficient immortal energy to support them. Theoretically speaking, after the Kunlun Immortal Bridge is broken, this world does not need immortals, and it is impossible to have immortal bones."
She paused and asked Min Ziyu: "Is it possible that you calculated the fate wrong?"
"Impossible, my divination..." Min Ziyu originally wanted to say that there would be no problem with her divination, but when she thought of the past, she changed her words: "Even if I calculated it wrong, my mother Yin Shu and my senior brother Ren Qingxu could not have calculated it wrong."
Jin Banwei agreed with this. Yin Shu and Ren Qingxu both possessed formidable power and were powerful figures in the industry. Min Ziyu was not weak either. It would be unreasonable if the three of them misread their fates.
There is nothing wrong with your fate.
But Guan Jiyue still didn't think that the immortal bones could appear without immortal energy. She was still thinking about it. Leng Xiangying couldn't help but muttered: "Ren Qingxu is the number one person in the contemporary Taoist sect."
Guan Jiyue: "Where does the immortal energy come from?"
Indeed, it is impossible for the immortal bones to be born without roots and sources.
That was when the Kunlun Immortal Bridge was still intact, and it was also the most precious fate.
Fairy spirit...
Jin Banwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Painting! Sister Ji Yue, your painting!"
Guan Jiyue also reacted quickly. The real time when her painting disappeared was before Ren Qiao was born. There was indeed an air of immortal in the painting. Moreover, she thought more than Jin Banwei. Min Ziyu was the second Meng Po of the underworld. She had been exposed to the air of the red spider lily for four thousand years. She had been an immortal official in every life. In this life, she was even more immortal. She was the mother of Ren Qiao. She...
She pointed at Min Ziyu, and Jin Banwei also reacted. She asked Min Ziyu: "Master Min, did you not plan to have a child from the beginning?"
Min Ziyu nodded: "Yes, but when I was pregnant with Yu Li, I was happy."
She was afraid that Jin Banwei would not believe her, so she even stared at her for a long time.
Jin Banwei didn't disbelieve it, she just thought of something else.
Yin Shu described Ren Qingxu as a thief who stole her daughter. Min Ziyu once didn't want a child, but suddenly became pregnant with Yu Li. The paintings in Guan Jiyue's house also disappeared at that time. She felt that Yu Li's appearance was not natural, but... a calculation.
When Leng Xiangying first met Ren Qiao, she helped Ren Qiao investigate his life experience, but found nothing. Even the underworld could not find it. Either the person's reincarnation path was cut off, or he was not a soul that went to the underworld to reincarnate, but was a naturally born soul.
Perhaps, Yu Li was really born from painting.
But... this makes more sense.
Zhuo Ning once said that she had been plotting against Yu Li for twenty years, but Yu Li only lived for eighteen years in total. She couldn't understand it at first, but if she had been plotting against him before she became pregnant with Yu Li, it would make sense.
He Ti died and disappeared into the world, but she left her immortal spirit and blood to future generations, but it was used by some people with ulterior motives.
So, was Yu Li's entire life from birth to death a conspiracy?
If it weren't for Yin Shu's thirteen years of careful companionship and teaching, Yu Li's life would have been nothing but tragedy.
Guan Jiyue had guessed most of it, and she sneered, "What a big situation."
This game involves the Guan family, the underworld, Meng Po, Yu Li, and tens of thousands of lives. No matter what the plot is, it is disgusting and abominable enough.
Jin Banwei nodded in agreement. Leng Xiangying asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
The only thing they couldn't share with Min Ziyu and the others was that Min Ziyu had been the Meng Po of two generations in the underworld. Also because this information couldn't be shared, some of the results of the analysis couldn't be revealed.
Guan Jiyue changed the subject and sneered, "Yu Li, Min Ziyu, with tens of thousands of lives lost, these evil sorcerers are so rampant that they can rest easy if they cut off the reincarnation path! In the final analysis, it's all your fault, the Underworld, because you have too few means to deal with sorcerers."
Leng Xiangying was provoked by her and was not very happy: "You can't say that. The existence of your Guan family is the countermeasure of the Hades to deal with the evil sorcerers. Let me say something unpleasant. Although Lady Heti is the only immortal, she is not the opponent of Lord Hades. Humans and demons are different. Are humans and Hades the same way? If Lord Hades wanted to stop Lady Heti from falling in love with your Guan family's great grandfather, she would have a legitimate reason, but she didn't. She even let you live in Yang Street and have a certain control over Yang Street. Moreover, your Guan family has almost every kind of sorcerer's means. Even if you don't have it, there are relevant records. Knowing the general means of the sorcerer, do you think you can collect it without the help of the Hades?"
Seeing that Guan Jiyue was speechless, she became even more rampant and said bluntly: "To put it bluntly, Yan Tao has already planned to make the descendants of Master Heti work for her for generations."
Guan Jiyue only knew that the ancestral will was to cooperate with the underworld, but she didn't expect that this might have been planned by Yan Tao from the beginning. She felt a little depressed: "Yan Tao can..."
Leng Xiangying shrugged and said lightly, "Well, you can call Yan Tao shameless, but you can't say she didn't think of a solution. But this is also what your ancestor agreed to. Otherwise, why would she have the will to cooperate with the underworld? Your ancestor is an immortal, and immortals have all living beings in their hearts. Naturally, she sincerely wants to make people live a good life. And future generations can help the underworld manage the world and give everyone a stable life. Of course, she is willing to do so."
Immortals have all living beings in their hearts.
Jin Banwei repeated this sentence over and over again, and she suddenly understood why Yu Li did not understand hatred until his death. In a sense, the immortal bone is an immortal, and she might even be an immortal created. Everything is deliberately arranged. She cares about all living beings, has no regrets, and only great love.
Leng Xiangying found an opportunity and continued to talk: "For so many years, the Hades and the Guan family have been helping each other. It can only be said that because of the incident seventy years ago, the Guan family was missing, which led to Yu Li's tragic death... Wait, that's not right. In fact, I can blame you. Ren Qiao died one hundred and sixteen years ago. At that time, your Guan family was still prosperous. According to Banwei, more than ten thousand people died in Shenyuan Lake, and your family was unaware of it. To be honest, Ren Qiao died so tragically, your family is also responsible. Of course, our Hades is also responsible."
Guan Jiyue: "I've said it before, because the power of blessing is evenly distributed, the Guan family's most prosperous time in the eyes of outsiders is actually the weakest time. Moreover, the Guan family's paintings were lost at that time, and some members of the clan did not have blessings. Moreover, Fu Xi was the bridge for cooperation between the Hades and the Guan family, but she betrayed us. Isn't the sin of your Hades deep enough!"
Jin Banwei interrupted them with a serious expression: "Officer Shen, Sister Ji Yue, now is not the time to quarrel."
Leng Xiangying pursed her lips and said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, they are still afraid of the Guan family. They are afraid that they will be found out by the Guan family, so they want to annihilate the Guan family."
"Yeah." Guan Jiyue nodded dully. She was really close to the truth, but this truth was obviously not acceptable to her. Fu Xi was a traitor, and the guardian deity was also a traitor. The guardian deity who was supposed to protect the Guan family destroyed the entire Guan family.
She took a long breath and said, "There are three questions we need to think about now. First, apart from the known Huang Yuanjing and her friends, who are the remaining people who set up this game? Second, whose face is Ren Qiao using? Third, what did they take from Ren Qiao? If they just refined her into a magic weapon, Mi Kong and Sheng Mao, let alone other things, their own abilities are already strong enough."
"I suddenly thought of one thing. Sheng Mao and Mi Kong are human beings. They are even older than Master Min, but they are not dead, and there is no news that they took the longevity cake." Jin Banwei thought carefully about the day she met Sheng Mao, the boy, and the woman. She frowned: "And the Sheng Mao I met that day was a little boy."
Guan Jiyue suddenly remembered Jiang Nian's strange behavior after Shen Yuantao took his arm when they went to Jiang Nian's house: "Are you talking about immortality?"
As soon as they opened their mouths, Leng Xiangying denied them: "How can there be immortality in this world? If the flesh and blood of immortals can make people immortal, then Guan Jiyue's great grandfather would not have died, not to mention that Lord Heti himself is dead."
"We Yin officials cannot be considered immortal, because although we have bodies, we are dead and cannot feel the temperature. We can bask in the sun, but we are still cold. Even if we can disguise our body temperature to be that of a normal person, our bodies are still cold. We don't really breathe, and we don't have normal exhalations... So, I still envy the living."
Jin Banwei also felt that Leng Xiangying's analysis made sense. She thought carefully about Zhuo Ning's strange body and Sheng Mao's childish appearance: "It should be a sorcery."
Guan Jiyue felt Leng Xiangying's sadness for the first time. She said, "You can go and reincarnate."
Leng Xiangying rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "No."
Jin Banwei certainly knew why Leng Xiangying didn't go.
She sighed for Leng Xiangying, who asked with great interest, "Where should we go next? To find Sheng Mao or Mi Kong? Or to Shen Yuan Lake? We can go anywhere, but you have to wait for me. This matter is a bit complicated. I have to go back to the Hades to report the situation in person."
Jin Banwei did not answer Leng Xiangying immediately. She suddenly thought of a very important question, and even suppressed the urge to ask Min Ziyu where the Shenyuan Lake was and ask her to take her and Ren Qiao to the Shenyuan Lake to see Yin Shu's tomb.
She took a breath and asked Min Ziyu, who was in a state of confusion and grief, "I have a question. It seems that the ghost sister didn't know she had parents when she was alive. Why is that?"
Min Ziyu was stunned for a moment, but still answered Jin Banwei: "My senior brother said that he was afraid that the child would know that there were still relatives in the world and would always want to escape from Shenyuan Lake, so he asked mother not to tell Yu Li that she had relatives other than mother."
“……”Something’s not right.
This feeling that something was wrong almost jumped out of Jin Banwei's mind, and followed by a sentence "Shenyuan Lake is hidden, and not many people know about it", which made things even more wrong.
Jin Banwei instinctively grabbed Min Ziyu's shoulder and said, "Master Min, you'd better not tell Master Ren that you found your daughter yet."
"Um?"
She didn't know how to explain this bad feeling to Min Ziyu. She quickly reviewed the world view of the original book in her mind and came up with an excuse: "Master Ren has been swallowing birthday cakes for many years, so his health must be very poor and he can't stand the rush. If he is in a hurry to see the ghost sister, what if something goes wrong on the way? We will go to Ciwen Temple sooner or later, so we can visit him on the way so that he doesn't have to travel too much. I remember that Ciwen Temple and Sanqing Daomen are both in Kushi."
Before Min Ziyu responded, Leng Xiangying became active first: "So we are going to Ku City next? That is Sister Yin Miao's territory. I will tell her."
She had just taken out her ghost card, and when she saw the message on it, her pupils suddenly contracted. She patted Jin Banwei's back in fear and said, "No, what good have you done for Lord Hades? I just received a letter. Lord Hades asked all the officials below the level of the Yin officials in the underworld to fully cooperate with you and obey your orders. He even asked the officials below the level of the Yin officials to obey your call when you are in danger."
Jin Banwei didn't dare to respond, but Guan Jiyue glanced at Min Ziyu meaningfully: "Benefits."
Leng Xiangying was good at observation, so she naturally noticed that Guan Jiyue was looking at Min Ziyu. She muttered, "What's so good about Master Min?"
