Chapter 104: Glowing Illusion Jade Gate
Xinyi was dying, but suddenly undercurrents flowed into his body. He was actually absorbing the spiritual energy around him.
Undercurrents entangled like branches, drifted like silk, and flew in from all directions. Looking closely, the houses around were slowly disintegrating, turning into dust and converging into the undercurrent.
Suddenly, Xin Yiying frowned slightly, then her eyes widened with anger, and she shouted suddenly. Streams of water splashed and dissipated, and the disintegrated gravel seemed to be blown away by the wind. But in just a moment, it stopped moving. The surrounding scene was like a broken mirror, with cracks spreading and dislocating continuously, and then shattered in an instant.
He was back in the darkness, but within it were fragments of the illusion, fluttering and swirling. At the end of the darkness, there seemed to be streaks of fire mixed in, accompanied by bursts of piercing wails, just as if he had just fallen into the illusion.
Xinyi continued to follow the sound, but this time the wooden door was gone. Instead, there were two white jade doors, as huge as mountains, glowing with light. Strange patterns were engraved on the stone doors, winding and twisting like a curse.
He touched the curse pattern on the door, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an intense grief that tore at his heart.
Just when Xinyi was wondering what was going on, she heard a series of "thump thump" sounds, and soon a deer appeared from the dark.
The deer had shiny black fur with golden spots, a heroic and upright posture, and a sharp gaze. The antlers on its head were as strong as ebony, and the brilliance was faint and eye-catching.
It stared at Xinyi motionlessly. Xinyi felt as if he was being stared at by an elder, and this elder had already seen through the darkness in his heart.
After a long time, the deer let out a long cry and began to speak.
"Behind this stone door lies a purgatory, the truth you seek. But if it were opened, it would tear open someone's heart, causing her defenses to collapse, making it difficult to recover."
"Do you want to open it?" Heartbroken? Deterred? Who is it referring to?
Xinyi was very puzzled, but the old deer seemed to see through his thoughts. He turned his head to look at the white jade door, only to see that the curse pattern on the door was twisting and changing. After a while, it changed from a curse pattern to three oracle bone characters -
Cheng Gui...
Return home!
Xinyi was shocked. What was behind this door? Why did it make her so sad?
Just as he was wondering, the changing patterns suddenly stopped, and the last vertical stroke of the character "宁" was missing.
The vertical object slowly approached like an ant, and the white jade door was a little loose. On the other side of the door, the howling sound became clearer and clearer.
Xinyi seemed to hear some familiar voices, but they didn't seem very real.
"... Ning... bring... quickly..."
"Return home...quickly..."
"Go!"
…
True Man Fuyin is meditating in the hall. Today, the senior brothers have taken the new disciples to Xuancang Cave to select magical weapons. The two junior brothers Danzhu and Danyang are tied up because of the monsters on Yinyu Peak. It is a rare opportunity for them to have some free time, so they should sit in meditation and study the Tao.
Fortunately, my senior brothers had repeatedly advised me against it when I was retiring a few years ago. But now I think about it, if it weren't for that, how could I have the leisure time today? What I did back then was really a wise move! Although the murder of the outer disciple has not yet been investigated, Senior Brother Qianyuan still has to arrange all the matters. Even if I want to help him, he is not available now, so I have no place to use my strength, right?
So relaxing!
Very good, very good!
Just when Master Fuyin was closing his eyes and meditating, he saw a man crawling and rolling in. It was none other than his second disciple Guan Yue.
Guan Yue rolled while shouting "Master! Master!" with an anxious look on his face.
Alas... Even in this situation, there is no peace...
Master Fuyin didn't even open his eyes. He just coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Guan Yue, you have been practicing with me for a long time. Is this what I taught you? You should stay calm when encountering things. How can you be so flustered and make a fuss?"
Guan Yue returned the greeting upon hearing this, then stood still calmly, his face still showing worry.
Seeing Guan Yue like this, Master Fuyin seemed very satisfied. He waited for a moment before asking, "Why are you so panicked?"
Guan Yue burst into tears immediately, but he bowed with great forbearance and replied, "Master, my junior sister just vomited blood, and now she's rolling on the ground with her hands covering her head for some unknown reason."
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Master Fuyin was shocked and hurriedly stood up and rushed out of the hall. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? And you're still so calm!?"
Guan Yue also felt aggrieved, but his heart was with Maidong, so he had to follow in a hurry.
…
Master Fuyin could hear Maidong's cries from afar, and he hurried into the courtyard. The disciples gathered in front of Maidong's door, their faces filled with sorrow.
Guan Yue shouted that the master had arrived and asked them to get out of the way quickly. Everyone quickly made way for him. At this time, a man came out of the room. He was Guan Chen, the eldest disciple of Master Fuyin.
When Guanchen saw Master Fuyin, he bowed and said without waiting for his questions, "Just now, we were meditating in the yard when our junior sister suddenly screamed, spit out blood, and rolled on the ground. We have now wrapped her in a quilt and tied her up tightly to prevent her from hurting herself." Then he went into the house with Master Fuyin.
Maidong's hair was now completely disheveled, her face was dusty and sallow, and she had a few scratches on her face. She looked horrifying. Master Fuyin hurriedly stepped forward and pressed his finger against her forehead, but she continued to cry and scream, struggling even while being tied up.
"Guanchen, bring the silver needle!" Master Fuyin ordered hurriedly, and then with a knife, he knocked Maidong unconscious while he was rolling around.
Guanchen took the order and left, but soon returned with the silver needles. Immediately, Master Fuyin began to twist Maidong's head, lifting, inserting, and twisting it. Within a moment, the sallow color on Maidong's face faded slightly, but he was sweating profusely.
"Mother... Mother..." At this time, only Maidong could be heard mumbling in his sleep.
"Mother... Ning'er won't leave... Mother..."
“Mother…Mother…”
Guan Chen and Guan Yue saw Mai Dong looking at each other like this, and then looked at Master Fuyin. Master Fuyin also frowned. Could it be that Mai Dong became like this because of her life experience?
"Master, maybe my junior sister remembered something?" Guan Yue said anxiously.
Master Fuyin did not answer, but just stared at Maidong. After a long time, he sighed.
Everything is destiny!
Although Master Fuyin didn't know Maidong's origins, she was definitely related to the Youlu Lu family, who were wiped out many years ago. After all, when she was picked up, she was holding the Lu family's heirloom magic weapon.
Deer antler double blades.
If it weren't for the resentment of the double-edged deer horns, he wouldn't have met the dying Maidong. When he thought of Maidong's pitiful appearance at that time, he couldn't help but sigh again.
