Chapter 164 Guardian Spirit 32

When something unexpected happened in the evil land, Yao Rong held an oil-paper umbrella in one hand and a watering can in the other, slowly watering the roots of the hyacinths, letting the water soak through the roots.

Xie Yinian helped beside him.

He squatted on one knee between the ridges of the field, carrying a small hoe in his hand, carefully cleaning every weed growing around the hyacinths.

Hyacinths like plenty of sunlight, and these weeds will not only absorb the fertility of the soil, but also block the sunlight.

In a blink of an eye, the seeds that were planted at that time are about to bloom.

Yao Rong finished watering the hyacinth in front of her and was about to fill the watering can with water. Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she raised her head and looked to the southeast.

Xie Yinian had hoeed out another pile of weeds.

Leaving the weeds in the field, they will likely take root and grow again with their vitality.

Xie Yinian dropped the hoe, carried the weeds out of the field, and spread them all on the cement floor to dry.

After drying the weeds, Xie Yinian noticed Yao Rong's abnormality.

Following Yao Rong's line of sight, Xie Yinian's face changed slightly.

The sky of City D was originally clear and blue, but at this moment, the southeast was stained with a layer of hazy gray and black.

This gray and black color is not caused by the celestial phenomena, but by the overwhelming negative energy that polluted the clear sky.

A terrifying ghost must have appeared!

Such an abnormal and obvious celestial phenomenon must have been noticed by more than just Yao Rong and Xie Yinian.

By noon, there were already many related posts in the Xuanjie Forum, and many people were squatting inside, wanting to learn about the latest situation in time.

Xie Yinian would also refresh the posts from time to time.

Near dusk, the Tianshi League finally stood up and gave a preliminary conclusion: a guardian-level ghost was suspected to have appeared. The place where it appeared was not far from the Yinsha Land. Now the small mountain village closest to the Yinsha Land has been slaughtered, and even the chickens and dogs raised by the villagers themselves have not escaped.

Some time ago, Xie Yinian's life story was a hot topic in the forums. Not only the older generation knew about the Yinsha Land, but the younger generation had also heard about it.

So, somehow, some people connected the two events together, suspecting that the death of Xie Zhou and his group was related to this powerful ghost.

Otherwise, how could Xie Zhou and his group die in the Yinsha Land for no reason?

"Mom, take a look at this reasoning."

When Xie Yinian saw this conjecture, he immediately got up from the bed, ran to the next door to find Yao Rong, handed the mobile phone screen to Yao Rong, and said nervously: "Do you think what they said makes sense?"

Yao Rong thought about it and could only say: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Xie Yinian said: "Didn't you find the existence of the fierce ghost in the Yinsha Land at that time?"

"No."

"Then my dad..." Xie Yinian carefully looked at Yao Rong's face and spoke carefully, "Why did he get into trouble at that time?"

Yao Rong did not hide it from him, and walked to the living room with him and sat down: "When I found him, he had turned into a skeleton, and I couldn't see anything at all."

"But..." Yao Rong frowned, "Before this, I thought your father and the others were killed by the evil spirit."

But this fierce ghost that suddenly jumped out made her feel that things might not be that simple.

Xie Yinian pursed his lips, and after a long while, he said in a shrill voice: "Do you still remember how the accident happened to you?"

Yao Rong rubbed her eyebrows and kept recalling.

But her last memory before death was a dark one, and she could not provide more information at all.

Yao Rong had to shake her head.

"It's good not to remember." Xie Yinian breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Xie Yinian's mobile phone rang.

It was Lu Hexuan from the Tianshi League who called.

Yao Rong is the only known "survivor" who has walked out of the Yinsha Land. Lu Hexuan wanted to find Yao Rong to find out the situation.

Xie Yinian relayed everything Yao Rong told him to Lu Hexuan.

Lu Hexuan sighed and hung up the phone.

Then, Xie Nai also called.

Xie Nai is in his forties or fifties. After experiencing the family's dramatic changes, his temperament has become calmer. He rarely shows such a bad temper in front of outsiders, but this time, he couldn't control his emotions at all.

Xie Nai's father also died in the Yinsha Land.

Even though he knew Yao Rong had buried their bodies and didn't leave them exposed in the wilderness, just like Yao Rong's obsession was to take Xie Zhou home, Xie Nai also always held on to the idea of ​​"bringing his father back one day."

Xie Yinian comforted him, "Uncle Nai, don't get excited, I'm here. If there's any new news from the Tianshi League, I'll call you right away."

"Okay, you're definitely more informed than me." Xie Nai said bitterly, "I don't know when we can bring them back."

Xie Yinian was silent for a while and said, "Uncle Nai, those whose relatives have been in trouble in the Yinsha Land must be paying attention to this matter silently, and I'll have to trouble you to comfort them."

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Xie Nai promised.

His talent for cultivation is not outstanding, but he is very capable of managing affairs and is the person in charge of the lineage of the former patriarch.

Putting down his phone, Xie Yinian wondered in his heart: Should I ask his mother to go there?

The Yinsha Land is a dangerous place for them, but for his mother, it should not be too difficult.

Before Xie Yinian asked Yao Rong for help, the Tianshi League had discovered some new information.

The Tianshi League used satellites to monitor the situation in the Yinsha Land and found that a large area of ​​land in the Yinsha Land had collapsed, revealing traces of suspected tombs. According to experts' speculation, this tomb was from the Western Zhou Dynasty and may have belonged to a king.

This fierce ghost may have run out of the tomb.

Moreover, in this short period of time, this fierce ghost actually slaughtered another village! The two Heavenly Masters who were guarding nearby also died tragically at the hands of the fierce ghost!

What's more terrifying is that since the Yinsha Land, a terrifying ghost den has formed in the area of ​​nearly a hundred miles, and this ghost den is still expanding outward.

The area is deserted and uninhabited for hundreds of miles. It will not endanger the people for the time being, but if the ghost den continues to expand, the whole city is likely to fall!

And the powerful ghost at the guardian level is also likely to break through to the ghost king level with the help of the ghost den.

If it really breaks through to the ghost king level, the harm it brings will be devastating.

After all, such a ghost king who likes killing is not as easy to communicate as Yao Rong.

So soon, Xie Yinian received a call from Lu Hexuan, asking Xie Yinian to rush to the village where the people were massacred within two hours and merge with other Tianshi.

Since Xie Yinian bound the imperial weapon, he became a member of the Tianshi League. His main task is to improve his cultivation, so he doesn't need to sit in an office like other people, but the Tianshi League wants to send him on a mission, and he can't refuse.

If you enjoy the benefits, you must always bear the corresponding responsibilities, and you are not as free as when you are alone.

But what makes Xie Yinian a little embarrassed is that Lu Hexuan hopes that Yao Rong can also participate in this operation.

Lu Hexuan's words are very sincere.

"I don't know what happened to your mother, but your mother is the only one who is familiar with the situation in the Yinsha Land. Now the situation is urgent, I invite her on behalf of the entire Tianshi League, and I sincerely hope that she can come forward to lend us a hand."

Xie Yinian rubbed his nose.

This...

The Tianshi League sincerely invites the Ghost King to join in the action to kill a ghost guardian...

If Senior Lu knew his mother's true identity and recalled what he said tonight, would he be so depressed that he would vomit blood?

"Forget it." Before Lu Hexuan could continue to persuade him, Xie Yinian said, "In fact, my mother has told me everything she knows." His mother

will definitely go to the Yinsha Land.

But she didn't go in with the people from the Tianshi League, but quietly hid aside.

Lu Hexuan had no choice but to respect Xie Yinian's opinion and gave up persuading him.

Just as Xie Yinian went upstairs to change his clothes and was about to go out, he casually opened the Xuanjie Forum and took a look, and almost exploded on the spot.

Which idiot posted a thread on the Xuanjie forum to curse him!

***

This post recounts the incident in which Xie Yinian rejected Lu Hexuan on behalf of Yao Rong, but the words used are extremely suggestive and inflammatory.

Those who don't know Yao Rong, at first glance, will definitely come up with a cold-blooded image of "afraid of death" and "watching other Heavenly Masters in danger but doing nothing" in their minds.

And that's not all. After attacking Yao Rong, the host of the post changed the subject and directed the spearhead at Xie Yinian, saying that the master and mother of the Sword Master of the Gallbladder Sword is such a coward, can the Heavenly Master World expect this Sword Master to deal with the Ghost King and protect the safety of the area in the future?

Like dragons, like phoenixes. With such a master and mother, the OP really doubted the character of the Sword Master.

Xie Yinian looked back and forth twice, his lips tightly pursed into a line.

"What's wrong?" Yao Rong came from behind him.

Xie Yinian didn't have much time left. Xie Yinian first opened the passenger door and let Yao Rong get in the car, and then told Yao Rong about the post.

However, compared to those who criticized him, he was obviously more annoyed by those who blamed Yao Rong.

"What do you mean by indifferent, greedy for life and afraid of death? It's poisonous."

"Have they ever thought that I am your biological son. You may not care about other Heavenly Masters, but will you ignore me? Is this questioning our mother-son relationship!?"

As he said that, Xie Yinian opened the driver's door.

He successfully passed the driving test a few months ago, and the car he is driving now was bought by Yao Rong and given to him.

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.

At this critical moment, someone suddenly posted this post. Is it a coincidence or intentional?

If it was intentional, what is the other party's intention.

Could it be...

to force her to enter the Yinsha Land as well?

Xie Yinian was still brooding over it: "I went to the Yinsha Land to carry out a mission, this is the most favorable evidence."

Yao Rong couldn't help but smile, turned on the car music, and played a piano song: "We all know that person is talking nonsense, why are you still angry? Don't get angry with yourself."

"How can you get angry so easily." Xie Yinian shook his head and smiled, and the anger finally dissipated a little, "It's too annoying, really."

He couldn't stand such insulting words being associated with Ms. Yao.

Throughout her life, whether as a heavenly master, daughter, wife, or mother, she did her best in any identity.

Moreover, she is really...really no longer alive...

She was also one of the most outstanding figures in the younger generation, but since the founding of the Xuanjie Forum, there has never been a post discussing her experience, praising her talent, and praising her friendship.

Never.

Now is the first time that someone has mentioned her name in a post, but they want to add such remarks to her.

He felt unfair for her.

A somewhat crazy idea suddenly popped up in Xie Yinian's mind.

The palms holding the steering wheel were sweating because of this.

While stopping the car and waiting for the traffic light, Xie Yinian took out a tissue and wiped his palms, then turned his head away: "Mom, why don't you just show up openly."

Yao Rong was stunned and looked into Xie Yinian's eyes.

With her temperament and experience, at this moment, she even doubted whether she was hallucinating.

"Do you know what you are saying?"

Yao Rong had to confirm again.

In the past few years of getting along with each other, Xie Yinian had seen Yao Rong calm and composed, seen her gentle and sad expression, and also seen her domineering and fierce when suppressing fierce ghosts, but this was the first time he saw her showing such a surprised and confused expression.

This expression finally made Xie Yinian completely determined in his choice.

His eyes slightly curved, revealing a cunning look: "Are you surprised?"

The red light turned to green, and Xie Yinian continued to drive.

Yao Rong turned off the music in the car. She needed the surrounding environment to be quieter, otherwise she would not be able to calm down and think.

"My appearance will never age, and will always remain at the age of 26. People who knew me before, as long as they saw my appearance, would be suspicious in their hearts, and then doubt my identity."

"You are the master of the Zhaodan Sword, and you have the authority of the law enforcement elder in the Tianshi League. As long as you continue along this path, what awaits you is a bright road that ordinary people cannot imagine."

Xie Yinian still looked forward, but nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening carefully to Yao Rong's words.

Yao Rong was defeated by his sudden rebelliousness, so he had to continue to explain the pros and cons, so that he would not get emotional and make a decision that he would regret in the future.

"But if the people in the Heavenly Master Realm knew that you and the Ghost King were in cahoots, have you ever thought about what kind of doubts you would face?"

"They would question your ability, your background, and even your loyalty."

"Obviously, everything you have received is what you deserve, but they would use it as a means to attack you. They would never let it go so easily."

"No matter how much you sacrifice for the Tianshi world and how much you contribute, such voices will follow you throughout your life."

Xie Yinian waited and made sure that Yao Rong had nothing to say before saying, "Mom, you're done, right?"

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, feeling a little helpless, but his heart softened: "Think back, which of the words you just said was not for my consideration?"

Yao Rong said, "It has no effect on me because my identity was exposed, but it's different for you."

Xie Yinian was not so easily convinced by Yao Rong: "Then since you can consider me in everything, can I also consider you a little more?"

In this matter, he did show a rare stubbornness.

Xie Yinian tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips: "Mom, with your strength, you can obviously ignore anyone and anything, right?"

Yao Rong said: "Whether it is a human or a ghost, if you have a weakness, you have to be restrained in doing things. Besides, no one can let me be wronged."

She thought for a while and asked Xie Yinian: "Why did you suddenly make this decision? Is it because of that post?"

Yao Rong thought she guessed right and was about to tell Xie Yinian that if her identity was leaked, those people would only scold her more severely.

When the words came to her lips, Xie Yinian shook his head: "It's not like that."

This post was the reason for his injustice, but it was not the reason for his decision.

Yao Rong pursed her lips and asked gently, "Why is that?"

Outside the car window, the moonlight quietly poured down, reflecting the dim street lights and the colorful lights of the surrounding shops, clearly illuminating Xie Yinian's facial features.

Four years passed in a flash, and he was no longer the boy who would faint on the ground when frightened by the upside-down ghost and struggled with the landlord for a few hundred yuan in deposit and rent.

Now, his eyebrows have faded from the gray, his eyes are firm and bright, and he is braver than ever.

"Mom, I have been enjoying your efforts for me over the years. You taught me, loved me, and created a good reputation for me."

"You actually have more direct means to deal with the Xie family, but you have never used them - because using those means will expose your identity and affect me."

"I realized this, but I didn't ask you directly because I was also worried... I would lose everything I have now."

These fame and fortunes are too difficult to take. When there is a possibility of losing them, they will be particularly reluctant, thus breeding selfishness.

Mother's love is selfless, but he is selfish.

He selfishly and frankly enjoys everything his mother gives him, but dares not let her know.

Until now.

He admitted his selfishness and dared to bear the consequences of the facts being exposed.

Because this is the truth.

Does he not even have the courage to admit who his mother is? Can he, who can only escape like this, really deserve Ms. Yao's love and shoulder her expectations?

"What does it matter if I tell others?" Xie Yinian seemed to have forgotten the torment he had gone through before making the decision. He shrugged his shoulders, unrestrained and calm, "Whose mother in this world can be more powerful than my mother."

"They will question me for this, but they will also envy me for this."

"Ancient books record that in the past, when the relationship between heavenly masters and ghosts was not so bad, some heavenly masters would become friends, relatives, and lovers with ghosts, and these ghosts would also voluntarily become the guardian spirits of the heavenly masters." "

You are the ghost king that everyone fears, and you are also my guardian spirit." You

are the most powerful guardian spirit in the world.
