Chapter 464: Finally meeting Chunxuan and then parting
This is probably the tacit understanding between mother and daughter.
When she entered the painting earlier, the person in the painting called himself the painting spirit. Although Lingxiang did not believe it completely, she did not delve into it. After all, her mind was all on the Linglong Ding at that time.
Later, when he met Liu Yaoyi again and obtained the Huitian Pill from her, he noticed something strange.
Although I don't know what the connection between my mother and Liu Yaoyi is, Liu Yaoyi was right when she said, "Tumi is a Mahayana practitioner with a broad mind. Everything he does must have a profound meaning."
Lingxiang didn't take it seriously at first, but after a deep conversation with Fairy Yao Ji, she felt more and more that something was fishy.
Finally, it is confirmed that the person encountered in the painting is Tumi, and it is the words of the eternal sky: "Because of you, it will end with you."
Originally, Lingxiang simply thought that the so-called "because of you" was simply because her alchemy ability was coveted by the demons. However, when she thought about what Fairy Yao Ji said and looked at the overall situation, she suddenly realized it.
The person in the painting is indeed my mother Tumi.
Although she didn't know why her mother had hidden it from her, Lingxiang now understood why her mother had gone to such great lengths to hide her soul in the painting.
It is the last resort to prevent the current situation.
The chess game has been set, and since my mother, the chess player, is not here, it is up to me to end the game.
Lingxiang just glanced at Tumi's back, then lowered her head and said no more, focusing on the things at hand.
The appearance of Tumi also affected Chi Yanzi. He recognized her at a glance as his master.
The moment of distraction gave the Erosion Yin Xiao an opportunity to take advantage of. The blood turned into a giant hand and grabbed the dazed Chi Yanzi.
Chi Yanzi thought to himself that something was not good. He struggled for several times but was unable to break free. The bloody hand tightened more and more. Chi Yanzi felt as if all his old bones were about to be crushed.
In the critical moment, Lu Ying came to the rescue in time. With a swing of his long mace, he broke the bloody hand of the Shi Yin Xiao, and Chi Yanzi was saved.
After settling down, Chi Yan became fully alert and was no longer distracted by Tumi.
The master always has her plans, and no matter what she does, it is not her responsibility to worry.
In comparison, the Demon Lord's reaction was completely different from his usual behavior, and his former domineering aura was completely gone.
The Demon Lord was attracted by Tumi's figure and completely forgot to stop Lingxiang. His mind and eyes were only on the person in front of him.
The reason for this is the effect of the Wandering Soul Grass. The Demon Lord is now unable to control his emotions and it is even more difficult for him to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"Tumi...Tumi..."
The Demon Lord kept murmuring like a whisper and stretched out his hand towards Tumi, but for some reason, no matter how hard he tried, he could not move forward at all and could only kneel down on the ground helplessly.
"Lingxiao," Tumi smiled, "I'm here to pick you up."
Tumi's whole body seemed to be glowing, and she slowly stretched out her hand towards the Demon Lord.
Even though the two were very close, the Demon Lord felt as if a thousand years had passed in that short moment.
Just as their hands were about to touch, Tumi suddenly made a finger gesture and then pointed a finger at the Demon Lord's eyebrows.
A warm current flowed through him, and the Demon Lord felt extremely comfortable all over, as if he was falling into the clouds. He closed his eyes comfortably.
He remembered this feeling, that little house in the mortal world, that warmth, which made him reluctant to leave.
Ah! It really is Tumi...
Just as the Demon Lord was sinking, a wisp of light smoke like cotton floated out from the top of his head, swirling and gathering behind him. Soon, the outline of a man could be vaguely seen.
It’s the soul-separation technique!
Lingxiang took a quick glance and felt that the outline was so familiar. Until the puff of smoke completely disappeared, revealing the man's appearance, it was actually...
“Dad… Daddy…”
Although he looked the same as the physical body in front of her, Lingxiang could recognize at a glance that this was her father.
I see!
Lingxiang finally understood what the first magic her mother had performed was.
At that time, the Demon Lord took advantage of Ling Xiao's weakness and took over his body. In order to preserve Ling Xiao's soul, Tu Mi used Ling Xiang's soul and spirit as a lure to protect him in the body.
Only blood relatives can practice this method.
That is why his body has been shrinking over the years because he has never succeeded in taking over another body. He has simply inhabited an empty shell with his soul.
To take over a living body, one must use one's own soul to suppress the soul of the original physical body, and then absorb it, in order to be considered successful.
It is because of the interference from Ling Xiao's soul hidden by Tu Mi that the Demon Lord's consciousness is always out of control and he becomes confused from time to time.
After all, it is a body that was seized by force, how could it have a greater influence than the original body?
The body also has memory.
The mystery was finally solved. Lingxiang breathed a sigh of relief and felt inexplicably relaxed. Her eyelids suddenly became heavy and she wished she could have a good sleep.
But now is not the time to rest!
Lingxiang forced herself to stay alert and concentrate on performing the hanging thread technique. The cloth on her wrist was soaked with blood, which dripped down drop by drop, splashing blood on the ground.
The Demon Lord was like a dead being, with his eyes tightly closed and motionless, while Ling Xiao's soul behind him slowly opened his eyes after his body was cleansed.
"Tumi, long time no see."
The handsome face and casual words made the listeners feel sad.
But Tumi was very calm and just smiled slightly: "Long time no see."
The two seemed to be chatting about daily life, without any excitement of "long time no see" at all. However, Lingxiang, who was standing beside them, had already had tears in her eyes.
Ling Xiao walked past Tumi and tilted his head to look at Lingxiang, his eyes curved into crescents: "Xiang'er, do you still remember daddy?"
Just this one sentence made the tone even more sad. Lingxiang burst into tears immediately, but she couldn't say a word and could only nod continuously.
Tumi also turned around at this time and looked at Lingxiang with a calm smile.
With just one glance, Lingxiang understood everything. She squeezed the tears from her eyes and tried to make her vision clearer, but no matter what, the tears still couldn't stop flowing.
Ah! How I long to see my father and mother again, and remember them firmly in my heart.
"Don't cry, my son. Everything in the world is impermanent, but it will eventually be determined. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again."
Lingxiang only felt that her vision was getting darker and everything around her was becoming blurry, but she still tried to nod her head and forced a smile.
"I only wish that my father and mother can have a peaceful journey and a happy afterlife."
Tumi looked at Lingxiang with reluctance in her eyes. Lingxiao walked up to her and hugged her, nodded approvingly to Lingxiang, and then the two of them turned into a ball of golden light and disappeared in the flames.
"Daddy, Mommy, have a safe journey."
Lingxiang's eyes became increasingly dimmer, and she could no longer see the surrounding scenery, but she still stubbornly pinched the finger seals, and the hanging thread technique never broke.
The soul-binding formation shrank smaller and smaller until it shrunk into Long Qi's body. Only then did Lingxiang stop the hanging thread technique.
Although she couldn't see anything, Lingxiang still made another finger gesture and pointed it at Long Qi's abdomen. A golden light spread out and dissipated in Long Qi's body.
Lingxiang untied Long Qi's jade pill.
Long Qi's eyelids trembled slightly, as if he would wake up in the next moment, but at this moment, the Demon Lord beside him suddenly looked up to the sky and roared:
"Tumi! Don't go! No!"
