The bus stopped at a remote village.
As expected, Bai Zhi and her daughter got off the car at the same place as them. Guan Jiyue and the others were a little surprised, except Jin Banwei.
As expected, reality and the world in the book overlap.
Jin Banwei had almost completely merged into this world. When she was waiting for Bai Zhi and her daughter to appear, she vaguely remembered that she was living in a book. After the two lines overlapped, she felt very uneasy.
She stared at Bai Zhi and her daughter for so long that Ren Qiao couldn't help asking her, "Xiao Jin, do you really not know that mother and daughter?"
Jin Banwei called out the girls' names when they were in the car, and now she was still staring at them intently. It didn't look like she didn't know them, but the way Bai Zhi and her daughter looked at Jin Banwei was completely unfamiliar.
Even after they noticed Jin Banwei was staring at them, they quickly left.
They seemed to have become demons in the eyes of the mother and daughter.
Avoid it as much as possible.
"I think I've seen them somewhere before, but I can't quite remember."
She lied to Ren Qiao, not intentionally, but the idea of traveling through a book sounded unbelievable.
At this moment, Jin Banwei already had many ties in this world, so where she came from became unimportant. What was important was where she would go in the future.
Ren Qiao was not the type to force people to answer her questions, and Guan Jiyue didn't want to delve into it either. Only Min Ziyu kept saying, "You couldn't have seen him in a dream."
Jin Banwei obviously felt that Min Ziyu was targeting her. She and Min Ziyu had clearly reconciled, but now it seemed as if everything had returned to the starting point.
Could it be because she tore off Ren Qingxu's false mask?
If this was really the reason, Jin Banwei could only say that she and Min Ziyu were destined to never reconcile. After all, it was impossible for her to forgive Ren Qingxu.
However, Min Ziyu actually cared so much about Ren Qingxu. In the original book, could it be that Ren Qingxu did something to her, and Yan Tao did not sense that she was in danger, which led to her death?
That's really stupid.
Jin Banwei didn't care about Min Ziyu's attitude towards her, and even ignored the hidden contradiction between them. She specifically reminded Min Ziyu: "Master Min, be careful."
Min Ziyu was stunned. She couldn't understand why Jin Banwei suddenly cared about her. It was obvious that her attitude towards her was not very good now, and there was some resentment in her, but Jin Banwei still cared about her.
She looked at Jin Banwei deeply and said, "Don't worry about me. Just take good care of Yu Li."
There is no need for Min Ziyu to remind her at all, she will of course take good care of Ren Qiao.
They started to move forward quickly and finally saw the mountain. The mountain was covered with lush vegetation and thorns. Just a quick glance at it made them feel that this place was dangerous.
In the original book, the reason why Baizhi and her daughter found this place was because the things left by her husband recorded that there were many monsters here, but it seemed that because of a catastrophe, the monsters in the mountains died one after another, and monster pills could be seen everywhere.
However, this place is very dangerous, like a maze, and people who enter the mountain cannot find a way out.
He stayed in the mountains for more than two months before he managed to get out by accident.
Bai Zhi and her daughter came here to try their luck to a large extent, because Bai Yue had been pregnant with Bai Zhi for four or five years. She had also looked for some Yin-Yang masters, but her husband wanted them to stay away from Yin-Yang matters and had not introduced any colleagues to them. Bai Zhi could only find some marginal Yin-Yang masters, and those ordinary masters could hardly catch a little ghost, let alone attract monsters.
They are also at their wits' end.
When Jin Banwei and the others arrived, Bai Zhi and her daughter, who were still hesitating whether to enter the mountains, glanced at them with extreme horror and quickly stepped into the mountains.
"You guys..." Jin Banwei swallowed the invitation that was about to come out of her mouth.
She also saw the fear in Bai Yue and Bai Zhi's eyes. They might have regarded them as villains who were trying to steal their magic pills.
Jin Banwei felt helpless and sighed repeatedly.
A sigh fell into Guan Jiyue's ears. She looked towards the mountain. The lush wooded mountain blocked most of the view. They could no longer see Bai Yue and Bai Zhi, mother and daughter.
She is different from Jin Banwei. She will not easily sympathize with anyone, especially those who are on guard against her.
Guan Jiyue no longer planned to plot against Lin Qing, and returned to her usual indifference. She said calmly, "We can't take care of them. We have more important things to do."
Of course, Jin Banwei also knew the priorities. She had to go to Shenyuan Lake as soon as possible. As for Bai Yue and Bai Zhi, mother and daughter, she had already killed Liu Wubai in Kongming Mountain, so they should not be in any danger.
Wait until they have dealt with the matter of Shenyuan Lake, then find them and bring them out together.
She took Ren Qiao's hand and walked inside.
As soon as I entered the mountain, the palms of my hands began to feel hot.
Jin Banwei originally thought it was an illusion, but the heat in her palm became stronger and stronger, so hot that it seemed to burn her. Jin Banwei turned her head abruptly and looked at Ren Qiao's hand in disbelief: "Sister, can you feel the temperature?"
Ren Qiao nodded, and a beautiful gleam appeared in her eyes.
Her free hand pointed at the bushes, then at the tall trees: "Xiao Jin, they seem to know me. Their spirit is welcoming me."
If this was said by someone else, Jin Banwei would think that person was sick and confused, but it made sense when it came from Ren Qiao's mouth. These trees obviously did not have any spiritual intelligence or form, but there was indeed a lot of spiritual energy around them, and that spiritual energy affected Ren Qiao's body temperature.
It shouldn't be possible. Even if there is a lot of spiritual energy, it cannot affect the changes in the ghost's body temperature.
Unless these spiritual energies have the same origin as Ren Qiao's power.
The bold speculation brought a smile to Jin Banwei's lips. She shook her head repeatedly, with some resistance in her eyes. How could she have such an idea?
But as soon as the thought came to my mind, it lingered in my mind and could not be shaken off.
Jin Banwei suddenly thought that this might not be impossible. After all, Yu Li had lived here for sixteen years. Wherever the immortal bone passed, it was easy to gather spirits.
etc.
Jin Banwei seemed to be able to piece everything together.
There are many monsters that took shape quickly here, probably because Yu Li, who possesses the bones of an immortal, has lived here for a full sixteen years. As for the sudden death of the monsters, it must be from the sacrifice more than a hundred years ago.
The priest who killed Yu Li.
That’s why there are so many demon pills here, and Bai Yue’s husband accidentally went into the mountains and discovered these demon pills. After enduring two months of torture, he finally escaped and recorded this place in his notes.
In the original book, Guan Jiyue also endured a month before escaping from the mountain.
But didn't Ren Qingxu and Min Ziyu also come here? How did they get out?
Could it be that this deep mountain that looks like a maze is also Ren Qingxu's formation?
But there are so many demon pills scattered here. Why did Liu Wubai come here a hundred years later to get them instead of earlier?
The more Jin Banwei thought about it, the more headache she felt. After the matter was resolved, she must be a lazy person and only think about Ren Qiao every day.
As she walked, she scattered paper balls.
The moment the paper ball hits the ground, it turns into a tiny white spider, grabbing the thorns tightly. The spider's legs wrap around the thorns tightly, and the direction the spider's head points to is the direction they have just come from.
Min Ziyu was disturbed by this unusual movement. She frowned and looked at Jin Banwei's strange behavior: "What are you doing?"
Jin Banwei: "Make a mark so you don't get stuck when the time comes."
Min Ziyu: "How could it be possible? We have so many Yin-Yang masters who can tell fortunes, how could we not even find a way out of the mountain?"
Min Ziyu is too optimistic.
You know, in the original book, it took Guan Jiyue a month to climb out of the mountains.
Guan Jiyue and Ren Qiao did not question the rationality of Jin Banwei's actions. They just felt that she must have her reasons for doing so. Although Guan Jiyue did not think that she would not be able to find a way out, she raised her cold eyebrows and said, "It's better to act cautiously."
Ren Qiao raised his eyes.
The trees in the mountains are growing well. They are so close together that they can still have enough light to continue growing. Even their branches and leaves are growing much better than those elsewhere. They are green and dense, blocking most of the light. The sunlight can only pass through the leaves and cast some dense light and shadows on the face.
drop……
Light drops of water fell on the skin, which should not have happened on leaves scorched by the scorching sun.
Ren Qiao was being led by Jin Banwei, and she could walk steadily without looking at the road. However, when water droplets fell on her skin, she staggered. If Jin Banwei had not grabbed her into his arms in time, she would have fallen.
"Sister, are you okay?" Jin Banwei was still scattering paper balls when she suddenly felt a sinking force in her hands. She suddenly woke up and found Ren Qiao about to fall.
Ren Qiao shook his head.
At this moment, she lowered her eyes slightly, just enough to see the leaves of the bush clearly. There was nothing unusual about them, except that many of the leaves were covered with some gray. It was not dust, but more like a color engraved on them.
It was very strange, although she couldn't explain exactly what was strange about it.
She raised her head again and looked at Guan Jiyue: "Jiyue, can you also make a mark? I feel like something is wrong with this place. It seems...it seems to be different from what I remember."
Jin Banwei was a little surprised at Yu Ren Qiao's ability to sense danger, but it would be great if Guan Jiyue could also take action and leave a mark.
Ren Qiao opened his mouth, and Guan Jiyue did not hesitate: "Okay."
They were indeed becoming more and more like a family. Guan Jiyue didn't even understand where Ren Qiao and Jin Banwei's worries came from, but as soon as Ren Qiao opened his mouth, she immediately chose to believe it. Pieces of talisman paper appeared in Guan Jiyue's hands, and a special mark would be left wherever the talisman paper passed.
But the blood family members glanced at Ren Qiao with doubts: "Yu Li, you don't remember everything at all."
“…”
Min Ziyu's words struck Ren Qiao's heart hard, and a dull pain spread throughout his body.
She quietly clenched her clenched hands and moved her body slightly closer to Jin Banwei, so that the pain could be relieved.
Even though Ren Qiao was a gentle man, facing Min Ziyu's behavior that hurt him so much, the only response he could get from Min Ziyu was silence.
Jin Banwei was even more surprised. Min Ziyu seemed to have no idea how to be a good mother. Ren Qiao did have incomplete memories, but Jin Banwei felt uncomfortable listening to her talking like that, let alone Ren Qiao.
As she said, she did not voluntarily become a ghost, nor did she voluntarily lose her memory.
Ren Qiao is a victim, but the people who should be closest to her have hurt her time and time again.
Lin Qing is a really nice person, at least much better than Lin Jinpeng.
Lin Qing sensed their wonderful silence and took the initiative to break it: "Then I will make a mark as well."
As he spoke, pieces of yellow paper floated out from his palms and fell on the trees wherever he passed. After sticking them on the branches, arrow marks appeared on the paper. Lin Jinpeng saw that they were all making marks, and Lin Qing even made another one. His eyelids twitched: "Master, this is not necessary."
Of course Lin Qing also felt that it was unnecessary, but he was a man with good eyesight, while Lin Jinpeng was not.
He somewhat disliked his stupid apprentice, and said without wasting a moment: "Why is it unnecessary? The more dangerous the place, the more cautious we should be. Being cautious has always been a virtue. I hope you will learn well from Jin Xiaoyou, Guan Xiaoyou, and Miss Ren."
Lin Qing felt better after taking advantage of the situation to scold Lin Jinpeng.
Lin Jinpeng twitched his lips and looked at the marks of the three of them, each with their own unique skills: "I'll learn. I'll learn right away."
He said he was learning, but there was only resistance in his eyes. He even took bigger steps. However, he completely ignored the fact that there was no road in the mountain and there were thorns growing everywhere. He soon scratched his arms and legs. Lin Jinpeng couldn't help complaining: "What kind of hell is this place? Why is there not even a road!"
As he complained, Jin Banwei and Ren Qiao's attention was distracted.
Lin Qing was extremely disgusted: "Shut up."
It is obvious that Lin Jinpeng is older than Guan Jiyue and Jin Banwei, but he is the least stable among them. This makes Lin Qing feel very embarrassed. However, he is his apprentice after all. Although he is so angry that he is blowing his beard, he still took out some light green spiritual paper. He looked at his old and slightly shriveled hands, and decisively cut a cut on Lin Jinpeng's arm, dyeing the spiritual paper red with Lin Jinpeng's blood.
Lin Jinpeng felt the pain in his arm and his eyes widened: "Master, you clearly said that using other people's blood to cast spells will weaken the spells, and your blood spiritual power is much stronger than mine."
"It's just to clear a path. Your blood can be used, too." Lin Qing blew his beard, and the deep wrinkles on his face relaxed a little. He ignored Lin Jinpeng's resentment, rubbed the spirit paper with both hands, and murmured: "The universe creates the way, and the spirit paper clears the way!"
As his voice fell, all the spirit papers in his hand flew out. They entangled with the thorns and slowly attached themselves to the thorn branches. The thorn branches broke off and entangled one by one, and turned into little men holding sickles, which swept out quickly.
The villain cut through the dense thorns and finally cleared a path for them.
Ren Qiao looked at the green little man holding a sickle, and his beautiful pupils were imprinted in a green shadow.
I have to say that Lin Qing is indeed a resourceful person.
He can use other people's blood to cast spells, and can use spiritual paper and external objects together. Strictly speaking, his level should be no worse than Jin Banwei's current level, or even better.
Guan Jiyue noticed something else first. She looked carefully at the flying figurine and said sincerely, "You paper-making masters are really more fancy than each other."
"What do you know? This is not fancy, this is gorgeous!" Lin Qing tried his best to correct Guan Jiyue. He stroked his beard and said, "The more gorgeous the paper-making artist's skills are, the stronger his strength is."
As he spoke, he glared at Lin Jinpeng with a look of disappointment: "His methods are not fancy, and his strength is very poor."
It can be seen that Lin Qing cares about his apprentice very much, but of course he also despises him.
With Lin Qing's little paper man leading the way, their journey became easier.
It’s just that it’s been so long that Min Ziyu can’t quite remember the exact location of Shenyuan Lake.
Climbing a mountain consumes a lot of energy, especially for Lin Jinpeng, who has poor cultivation and strength, it is simply a torture. He finally couldn't stand it anymore and questioned Min Ziyu: "I say, Master Min, do you know where to go?"
After Min Ziyu repeatedly took the wrong road, she was no longer sure: "It should go a little to the right, not a little to the left."
She was still thinking carefully, Jin Banwei looked up into the sky, it had taken them a long time to get here by car, and now they had been busy for such a long time again, it was almost dark, but they still hadn't found the Shenyuan Lake.
Jin Banwei was breathing slightly, leaning against the tree and staring at Min Ziyu.
The gradually darkening sky forced Jin Banwei to take action herself. She once again used the same method she had used in the ghost town.
She took out a stack of specially treated yellow paper, bit her thumb and pressed it on the spiritual paper. After making sure that each piece of paper was stained with her blood, she took out the ink pen, dipped it in the blood on her thumb, and drew a blood-red puppy pattern. Then she put away the ink pen and grabbed the yellow paper. The first piece of yellow paper floated up. She pinched her fingers with one hand and chanted: "There are three ways of Tianyuan, observe the qi and listen to the eight directions!"
The blood-red dog pattern on the first piece of yellow paper emerged from the yellow paper.
Jin Banwei slapped the paper hard, and the dog pattern was printed back on the paper, but it soon penetrated the original paper and pressed towards the stacked yellow papers, like a photocopy, with the same pattern printed on each piece of yellow paper.
Jin Banwei threw out nearly a thousand pieces of yellow paper, and they turned into yellow-haired puppies floating in the air and scattered everywhere.
She had used this method when she was in the ghost town, but at that time she was already out of breath and her blood and qi were depleted after summoning a hundred little yellow dogs. Now when she summoned thousands of them, she just felt the blood flowing faster and there was no obvious change in her breath.
Jin Banwei could feel her own changes, while Lin Qing could feel her strength.
Lin Qing's eyes lit up as he watched her find her way. "You are really good at this. How old are you?"
Jin Banwei exhaled slightly, and then answered Lin Qing: "Twenty."
Hearing that she was twenty years old, Lin Qing's face turned unhappy. He kicked Lin Jinpeng and said, "You are almost a generation older than her. I have taught you for so many years, why can't you learn this trick?"
Lin Jinpeng was awkward and couldn't hold back his words. He glanced at Guan Jiyue and then thought of an excuse: "Master, didn't you hear Guan Jiyue call her sister? The Guan family has always had good talents, right?"
Lin Ping glanced at Lin Jinpeng and said nothing.
It’s just a pity that Jin Banwei’s methods are gorgeous enough, but the mountain is too big and there are layers of obstacles. The Shenyuan Lake is not the center of the formation, and there is no specific breath to search for, so Jin Banwei did not find the place.
If she couldn't find it, Lin Qing naturally couldn't find it either.
Jin Banwei looked at Guan Jiyue and said, "Why not tell fortunes?"
Jin Banwei can't calculate, but Min Ziyu and Guan Jiyue can.
Guan Jiyue was about to take action when Ren Qiao suddenly took Jin Banwei's hand and walked forward. She said, "Xiao Jin, I think I know where it is."
"Okay." Since Ren Qiao said she knew, Jin Banwei immediately followed Ren Qiao, and Guan Jiyue followed them without hesitation.
But Lin Jinpeng shouted: "Are you reliable? Don't lead me the wrong way again. I really can't walk anymore."
It would have been fine if Lin Jinpeng was the only one muttering, but Min Ziyu also opened his mouth: "Yu Li, if you don't even remember, then don't lead the way."
Outsiders can complain about some things, but if family members also complain, it will become hurtful.
Her tone was condescending, with a hint of an elder condemning a younger generation.
Ren Qiao ignored her and walked forward holding Jin Banwei's hand.
Seeing that Ren Qiao ignored her, Min Ziyu could not help but opened her mouth again, but was met with Lin Ping's suspicious gaze.
Lin Qing looked her up and down, his eyes full of confusion: "Are you really her mother? I've seen you many times when I went to Yin Street. I think you are more gentle to ghosts than to her. You don't even remember the way, so what's wrong with you asking her to lead the way? Anyway, so much time has been wasted, it doesn't matter if it's delayed a little longer."
"Is it okay?" Min Ziyu looked forward. Guan Jiyue and Jin Banwei had already followed Ren Qiao. Lin Jinpeng, with a lot of complaints, finally followed them.
She didn't quite understand such unconditional following, and her voice became hoarse: "But she really doesn't remember a lot of things. She can't possibly remember the way."
Lin Qing found Min Ziyu more and more strange. He even pulled his beard. "No, even if she doesn't remember, you don't remember either. It's okay to follow her for a few steps. At least you trust her. She will be happy. If you make a mistake, just find another way. How do you know she doesn't know without trying? I think you are a good ghost doctor, but you are not good enough to be a ghost mother."
"I, I really can't. I haven't lived with her, but I love her. My mother used to correct my mistakes in this way..."
Lin Qing felt a little annoyed. He pulled his beard and said, "Don't tell me. I'm not familiar with you guys."
He turned around and followed, while Min Ziyu stayed alone.
It seems that she is really not good at being a mother. She has never lived with Yu Li. She has been looking for him all these years. The only one she has raised is Yuan, but Yuan does not have his own personality. He always does whatever Min Ziyu says.
Min Ziyu can only find out how to be someone else's mother from Yin Shu. In her memory, Yin Shu also controlled her step by step and had expectations of her, including her feelings. Since Yu Li loved her grandmother, there should be no problem with her grandmother's educational method.
Although Min Ziyu himself rarely listens to Yin Shu.
Min Ziyu still followed him. She thought that Ren Qiao was wrong, so she would tell her again that this was wrong.
But Ren Qiao really found the Shenyuan Lake.
She seemed to be guided by something and accurately found the Lake of Divine Resentment behind the lush trees.
Everything in Shenyuan Lake has changed. The houses have been completely reduced to ruins, the clean and clear lake surface has turned black, and the blooming sea lettuce has disappeared. It seems that nothing can be found.
But the lonely grave standing next to the ruins is still standing, but it is overgrown with weeds.
Min Ziyu has not set foot in Shenyuan Lake for a long time. This place carries her pain. Her mother died here and her daughter disappeared here. This is a place she is unwilling to face. She has forgotten that her mother's grave also needs to be taken care of.
Her heart ached and she could only look around, trying to divert her attention.
This Shenyuan Lake is very monotonous. You can see the end at a glance. There is no place to hide the formation. Min Ziyu looked at the empty lake and suddenly said, "I said you guessed wrong. My brother and I have searched here. How could Yu Li be sealed here? There is nothing here."
She still called him Senior Brother Ren Qingxu.
After all, it is a name that has been used for more than a hundred years, and it is not easy to change it in a short time.
Her address made the already silent surface of Shenyuan Lake even quieter.
Ren Qiao always had an answer to every question, but she had been silent many times in front of Min Ziyu, and Min Ziyu still seemed to be unaware of it. They didn't bother with Min Ziyu because he was their elder, but Guan Jiyue didn't think that Min Ziyu was her elder. The only person she recognized was Jin Banwei, and the reason she recognized Ren Qiao was because Guan Xue liked him enough.
Guan Jiyue walked up to Min Ziyu, her face frighteningly cold: "Min Ziyu, do you have to wait for Ren Qingxu to stab Ren Qiao twice in front of you before you can change your name?"
Min Ziyu's only response to Guan Jiyue was silence, but Guan Jiyue was obviously not someone who could be fooled by silence. Guan Jiyue snorted coldly and looked at Min Ziyu with sarcasm in her eyes: "Have you ever thought that Ren Qingxu not only killed your daughter, but also your mother. He and Zhuo Ning are accomplices, and neither of them is innocent."
Guan Jiyue's voice was like thunder, bombarding Min Ziyu's heart again and again.
Min Ziyu was stunned and lowered her head. She looked at Yin Shu's grave and the quarrel between her and Yin Shu rang in her ears.
—Xiao Yu, I have the spirit of Buddha in me, and I am more sensitive to human nature than you. You have to believe me, Ren Qingxu is not suitable for you.
-I am pregnant.
—Min Ziyu, you are really bewitched!
—Mom, why does everyone think that senior brother is good, but you have to say that he is bad? What exactly is wrong with him?
—I can’t say what’s wrong with him, but my perception is not wrong. It doesn’t matter if you are pregnant. I will help you take care of the baby after it is born, but you must stay away from your senior brother.
It seemed that Yin Shu felt that Ren Qingxu was inappropriate from the very beginning, but she just couldn't listen.
Because I couldn't listen, I didn't correct it.
She had always believed that it was Min Ziyu's prejudice against Ren Qingxu, but now these people were telling her again and again that Ren Qingxu was a bad person. Was she really that pathetic? So stupid, so ignorant of people.
Min Ziyu doesn't like to be a pitiful person, but it seems that she is really wrong.
Guan Jiyue seemed to see through her thoughts. She said coldly, "Have you ever considered that your mother controls you because she is right, but you yourself cannot distinguish right from wrong. How can you use Yin Shu's methods to control Ren Qiao? She has a Buddha spirit and her ability to perceive good and evil is much better than yours."
Guan Jiyue must have heard the conversation between her and Lin Qing just now. She wanted to tell Guan Jiyue that eavesdropping was wrong, but then she thought that she had never concealed it.
But Guan Jiyue's words undoubtedly hurt her. Min Ziyu covered her ears in annoyance. She stared at Guan Jiyue's eyes: "She has the Buddha spirit, so why can't she recognize Zhuo Ning? In the end, didn't she die at the hands of her adopted daughter!"
Perhaps it was because the traces of Ren Qingxu covered more than 130 years of her life. She knew Ren Qingxu when she entered the Sanqing Taoist sect. Denying Ren Qingxu's kindness would feel like denying her entire life.
In fact, she had long since given up on loving or not loving Ren Qingxu, but she just didn't want to deny herself.
Jin Banwei has been holding it in for a long time.
Min Ziyu's status as an elder was a pressure, so she often couldn't say anything. But seeing that she was questioning Yin Shu because of Ren Qingxu, Jin Banwei felt that if she continued like this, Ren Qiao would probably bear a grudge against her.
"Master Min, it's not that grandma doesn't know that Zhuoning has become bad, but she can't bear to let Zhuoning go."
In Ren Qianjing's memory, Yu Li's words are still ringing in her ears.
Yin Shu died, but strictly speaking, she did not die at Zhuo Ning's hands, but rather in her own love.
Because she loved Yu Li, she sealed her means and lived with Yu Li as an ordinary old woman, which is why she was plotted against by Zhuo Ning.
But she also loved Zhuo Ning. She had clearly realized that it was Zhuo Ning who did it. She had a chance to take her with her at the end, but she didn't do it.
Yin Shu is a good person and she has love in her heart. She loves Yu Li and Zhuo Ning, so she taught Yu Li, who has immortal bones, to have only great love in his heart and no selfish desires at all.
The power of Buddha is never inaccurate.
Yin Shu completely lost to herself.
Min Ziyu was silent. She walked silently to Yin Shu's grave, where Ren Qiao was already kneeling.
Min Ziyu knelt beside Ren Qiao, looking at Yin Shu's grave, unable to hold back her sobs, "I'm sorry, I should have been obedient."
She finally completely denied all her previous decisions.
——
Yin Shu's tombstone was very simple, just a wooden plaque, and the words on it were carved stroke by stroke by Yu Li. Looking at those words, Ren Qiao had more memories and tears slowly filled his eyes.
Her eyes moved away little by little, but when she saw the lake, she felt more desolate and sad.
Hot tears rolled down my eyes, getting more and more intense.
Ren Qiao cried out with a broken heart: "Grandma, it hurts."
The memories in her head overlapped bit by bit. She never cried out in pain, but that feeling resurfaced again and again, and Yin Shu's anger was right in front of her. She seemed to see the old man who coaxed her and heard the gentle voice of Xiao Yuli.
Ren Qiao really felt that every inch of his skin began to hurt.
The grave before her contained her most solid support.
She had never cried and shouted like this before, her voice was hoarse and filled with despair. She actually died in front of Yin Shu's grave, right in the middle of the Shenren Lake, with her skin peeled off and her heart eaten out.
It hurt a lot, but I didn't cry at that time.
All the tears have accumulated until now, and I kneel in front of Yin Shu's grave and cry my heart out.
It was the first time that Min Ziyu saw her daughter crying so miserably. She stretched out her hand towards Ren Qiao, but Ren Qiao dodged her hand.
If Ren Qiao just didn't know how to face her before, he did have more resentment now.
Jin Banwei quickly came over and knelt with Ren Qiao. Her palm touched the back of her hand. She slowly brought Ren Qiao into her arms and let her cry loudly in her arms, letting her tears wet the clothes on her chest.
Unfortunately, the collapse can't last long.
They had other things to do.
Ren Qiao cried for a while, forcing himself to break free from the negative emotions.
Her tears finally stopped.
Ren Qiao originally wanted to get up, but when she caught a glimpse of Jin Banwei's equally wet eyes, she suddenly remembered what she wanted to say in her heart.
She held Jin Banwei's hand tightly and whispered in front of Yin Shu's grave: "Grandma, Xiao Jin is my lover. Senior Fo Ling should have told you that she is a very good person. She is very good to me, just like grandma."
In fact, both the Buddha spirit and Yin Shu had disappeared long ago, so they should not be able to hear it. It is just a beautiful expectation, hoping that the wind will listen a little.
After expressing his tender feelings, Ren Qiao finally calmed down. Guan Jiyue handed papers to both Ren Qiao and Jin Banwei.
While they were crying, Guan Jiyue, who was calm, took Lin Qing to look for the formation everywhere, but found nothing.
Jin Banwei wiped the wet corners of her eyes because of Ren Qiao's pain, and glanced at the center of the lake where Yu Li died. She pointed to Shen Yuan Lake and said, "What about the bottom of the water? Have you searched it?"
Lin Jinpeng knocked his head and looked at Jin Banwei with a look of pity: "Have you cried yourself silly? How can the formation be set up in the water?"
Jin Banwei rolled her eyes at him. Ren Qiao beside her was still sobbing. She took a few tissues from Guan Jiyue and wiped Ren Qiao's tears carefully. As she wiped, she said, "The formation for living people cannot be set up underwater, but many of them are not even human. It's normal for their methods to be unreasonable."
Guan Jiyue seemed to understand something and immediately rushed towards the Shenyuan Lake.
Lin Jinpeng also pulled Lin Jinpeng to follow, and Jin Banwei wiped Ren Qiao's tears and calmed her down before taking her to the Shenyuan Lake. She looked at the dark lake, pulled Ren Qiao to stop, and gently placed her fingers under Ren Qiao's eyes in a very natural way: "Sister, if you feel uncomfortable, don't look."
Anyone who sees his own death would collapse.
Ren Qiao shook her head. She held Jin Banwei's fingertips, pulled her hand away from her face, and held it tightly: "Xiao Jin, I'm much better now. It's okay. I can do it."
But this...
Jin Banwei thought of what happened at Kongming Mountain and resisted the urge to cover Ren Qiao's eyes.
After Min Ziyu knelt in front of Yin Shu's grave, she seemed to have come to her senses. She fell silent, with only her eyes following Ren Qiao, and she no longer mentioned her senior brother.
The formation was indeed at the bottom of the lake.
After Guan Jiyue placed the bone spirit lamps one by one, the water in the lake seemed to form several small whirlpools. The whirlpools became more and more, and black air came out of them. Groups of black fog emerged from the whirlpools.
This was indeed a formation, but Guan Jiyue didn’t understand what kind of formation it was.
Lin Qing took out a silver-white spirit paper, which flew along his fingertips toward the lake. As soon as it approached, black fog rose up and crushed the spirit paper.
When Lin Qing stretched out his hand again, he could only grab a tiny bit of debris. The debris looked like black feathers floating in the air. Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Death Return Formation. It's actually a Death Return Formation."
Sure enough, Guan Jiyue was right to trick Lin Ping.
Lin Qing was actually the only one among them who knew about this formation. Even Min Ziyu, who had lived the longest, had never heard of the Death Return Formation.

Lin Qing shook his head even more vigorously: "Of course not, this formation is actually the assessment formation of the underworld. I heard that the assessment of each underworld official is like this.
