Chapter 365: All confusion dissipates with the glass
"Sister, do you want to play too?"
Lingxiang was startled and stepped back, but the little girl held the head and chased after her, shouting:
"Sister, don't go. Let's play together... Let's play together..."
Lingxiang didn't feel scared. After all, even if her cultivation wasn't high, she had been walking in the mortal world for many years, so what strange things had she not seen? If she really encountered such a thing in the mortal world, she would have a set of methods to deal with it, but this was Maidong's sea of consciousness, and ordinary methods would definitely not work.
Because it was the Sea of Consciousness, even the strangeness was normal. The Sea of Consciousness was like a dream, full of strange things. Furthermore, Maidong was already mentally unstable, and Lingxiang's mission was precisely to restore order. Even so, she couldn't interfere too much. If she mishandled it, the consequences would be disastrous.
So faced with such a horrifying situation, Lingxiang's only option was to escape.
I thought it was just a baby, how fast could it run? But no matter where Lingxiang fled, the little man with empty eyes could follow closely behind.
I never thought that I would be chased by such a weird thing in this life. Life is really unpredictable!
Lingxiang couldn't help but laugh at herself and didn't dare to stay any longer.
Fortunately, the girl didn't seem to have any intention of pursuing her. After Lingxiang turned a corner, she disappeared. Lingxiang breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, but she didn't know where she had run to.
In front of me is a low wall with green tiles. Not far ahead is a vermilion lacquered gate with a plaque on it. I can't see what's written on it from a distance.
Lingxiang thought for a moment and decided to go forward and take a look.
Only when I got closer did I see that the plaque clearly read "Lu's Ancestral Hall".
Lu family?
Isn't Xinyi a descendant of the Lu family? Could this be the Youlu Lu family?
Before Lingxiang could think about it, she heard wailing and some strange roars all around. She didn't want to stay any longer, so she had no choice but to push the door open and go in.
Though deserted, the ancestral hall was clean and tidy, and the air was filled with sandalwood incense, a testament to its meticulous care. Spirit tablets lined the hall, candlelight flickered, and divine flags flanked it, creating a particularly solemn atmosphere.
At the top of the rows of spirit tablets in the hall, there are two blades, one long and one short, emitting a sinister and evil aura.
Lingxiang recognized it as the deer horn double-edged sword at a glance. She had spent a lot of effort to find out the whereabouts of the two swords of the Lu family, but she didn't expect that they were taken to Yuanqing by Master Fuyin by mistake.
At that time, Lingxiang had not thought about finding out the reason for the incident. She just felt that the matter involved Fairy Tumi and she had some responsibility, so she wanted to return the Lu family's things to Xinyi. However, she did not expect what would happen later.
Slowly walking into the hall, the sonorous words on the spirit tablet showed the prosperity and perseverance of the Lu family. Lingxiang couldn't help but feel awe and bowed, but then she thought, this is Maidong's sea of consciousness, so her action seemed meaningless.
Just then, there was a sound of opening and closing from the gate outside the yard, and Lingxiang hurriedly found a place to hide.
As soon as he settled down, he saw a woman with a little girl rushing into the ancestral hall, bowing down to the seats, and accusing something in tears.
For some reason, Lingxiang couldn't hear what the woman was saying, and even her face was blurry. Then she looked at the girl next to her. Wasn't she the one who was playing ball in the yard just now?
There were still two empty holes where the little girl's eyes were, so dark that you couldn't see the bottom. But the woman next to her didn't seem to mind at all. She kept kowtowing to the spirit tablet in the hall. Even though her face was covered with bright red blood, she still didn't care.
The ghost-like girl watched everything blankly, and two black holes shed tears like blood. Until the double-edged antlers on the spirit platform fell down, the woman stuffed the girl into the mechanism behind the spirit platform.
At this moment, the door of the ancestral hall suddenly shattered, and a group of strange monsters rushed in. They grabbed the lady without saying a word, and with a few cuts, they separated her limbs and scattered her corpses.
Those ones……
Is it a monster?
wrong……
Is it a monster?
It doesn’t look like…
Lingxiang thought about it and realized that the Lu family was indeed robbed by the demons, which led to the destruction of the entire family. This is Maidong's sea of consciousness. It seems that Maidong did not remember the situation at that time, or perhaps Maidong did not want to remember this incident deep in his heart, so it became like this.
Those monsters just now were most likely demons.
After the monster left, Lingxiang flashed out, walked to the woman's body with a look of compassion, and paused for a long time.
Even so close, the woman's face was still blurry. Lingxiang didn't want to think too much about it. At this moment, she only felt an inexplicable fire in her heart, but she didn't know where to vent it.
It is really sad that a plan involves innocent lives.
But who should be blamed for this?
Mother?
But the mother was just fixing the flaws, while the person who started all this never showed up...
Forget it, now that things have come to this, I can only take it one step at a time.
Lingxiang stood up and walked away. Just as she stepped onto the stone steps and was about to leave the yard, a cold wind blew past, and in an instant the sky became dark and thunder roared.
"Is my sister leaving?"
It's that girl!
Lingxiang didn't know whether she should look back, but the girl's voice really made her sad.
Lingxiang finally turned around.
Under the eaves outside the ancestral hall, the girl was holding the woman's head, standing alone in a pool of blood, tears and blood welling up in her dark eyes.
This scene deeply touched Lingxiang's heart. She tried to relax her brows, walked step by step to the girl, squatted down, and smoothed the child's messy hair.
"There is someone very important to me, and she is waiting for me to save her."
The girl tilted her head.
"Is it important?"
Lingxiang nodded.
“Very important.”
"How important is it?"
"It's so important that my sister would risk her life for it."
Upon hearing this, the girl lowered her head and stroked the woman's head in her arms, but did not answer. Lingxiang did not urge her, but just stroked the girl's head and waited quietly.
The thunder gradually subsided and the cold wind died down. The little girl suddenly looked up. Although she had no eyes, her face was full of innocence.
"But if sister leaves, Aning will be the only one left here."
Lingxiang smiled.
"Life is full of sufferings and hardships, which are unavoidable. But even so, you will not be alone. There will be many people waiting for you in the near future, and there will be someone who will stay with you forever."
"Really?"
Lingxiang caressed the girl's cheek, wiping away the blood and tears that were about to dry up.
"Of course it's true."
As soon as he finished speaking, everything around him shattered like glass, floating away behind the girl and turning into powder in the darkness.
Lingxiang rubbed it between her fingers, feeling the touch just now.
Before everything shattered, she saw the girl's smile and a pair of clear eyes.
Looking around, she was back in the darkness again. The ripples beneath her spread out in circles, and an inexplicable light was emitted in the distance.
