"Not belonging to one person?"
Hua Xiangwan was a little surprised. Kunxuzi nodded, reached out to take the Jade Sea Pearl, looked at it carefully for a moment, and confirmed: "One of the souls does not belong to the same person as the other three souls and six spirits. I guess, maybe this person's soul is incomplete, and when he was still in the womb, someone put this soul alone into the mother's body. After the fusion, it became the new three souls and seven spirits."
"Then..." Hua Xiangwan hesitated, "Then are these three souls and seven spirits considered an independent person?"
"Of course he is an independent person." Kunxuzi smiled, "Since he has reincarnated and become a new three souls and seven spirits, he is an independent person. But I think this spirit is extremely strong, it should not be the soul of an ordinary person. If his original main soul has not disappeared, it may still have some influence. However, this spirit may not know it."
Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. Kunxuzi hesitantly returned the Jade Sea Pearl to her and asked cautiously, "Young Master, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Oh, no."
Hua Xiangwan responded and smiled: "Just asking casually."
Hua Xiangwan put away the Jade Sea Pearl and said calmly, "Then Elder Kun, go and rest first and be careful. If Xie Changji shows any abnormality, you can come find me."
"good."
Kunxuzi felt a little guilty, and after Hua Xiangwan finished her instructions, she went back to the study. As soon as she reached the door, she saw the Jade Blood God coming out. When he saw her, he smiled and turned to look at the study: "I have already set the wedding date with the Palace Master. You are a little late."
"When?"
Hua Xiangwan spoke calmly, and the Jade Blood God told her the date: "We've chosen a good day, three months later, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. What do you think?"
"fine."
Hua Xiangwan agreed, and then said: "I will roughly arrange the wedding and the succession ceremony. I want to enter the secret realm to practice in the future. There are many details of the wedding that require your attention."
Hearing this, the Jade Blood God looked at her with a hint of suspicion in his eyes: "You want me to prepare for the wedding?"
"You are using Yi Chen's body," Hua Xiangwan turned to look at him, "Can you live like him?"
The Jade Blood God said nothing. He just looked at Hua Xiangwan quietly.
Hua Xiangwan stared at the black gilded lotus mask on his face and couldn't help but put her hand on the lotus with a hint of nostalgia in her eyes: "I gave him this mask on his birthday when I was fifteen. It's been many years."
"Then will you treat me the same way you treat him?" The Jade Blood God spoke calmly.
Hua Xiangwan paused, and the two looked at each other quietly. A hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the Jade Blood God. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Hua Xiangwan say, "I can."
The Blood God froze, and Hua Xiangwan slid the mask off his face, raised her hand to hold his hand, and called his name: "Yi Chen."
The Jade Blood God did not move. His movements were frozen. Hua Xiangwan looked at him and said in a tempting tone, "You should prepare for the wedding. I have wasted too much time. I want to cultivate well."
The Jade Blood God didn't say anything, so Hua Xiangwan continued to instruct, "It's not appropriate to see blood before the wedding. Please watch for me."
"Are you afraid that I will kill Xue Zidan and Kunxuzi?"
The Jade Blood God finally understood what she meant and spoke sarcastically.
Hua Xiangwan remained calm and said, "If it was Yi Chen, he would not allow his wedding to have any flaws."
The Jade Blood God didn't say anything. Hua Xiangwan let go of his hand and said gently, "You go back first. I will discuss the wedding arrangements with my master."
Having said that, Hua Xiangwan turned around and walked towards the study.
After taking two steps, the Jade Blood God suddenly called her: "Do you have any other requests?"
Hua Xiangwan paused for a moment, then turned around and smiled at him, "You decide for yourself."
The Jade Blood God watched her smile quietly. When Hua Xiangwan turned and walked into the study, he turned and left with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Hua Xiangwan entered the room and asked Bai Zhuyue about the request made by the Jade Blood God. After confirming that it was only related to the wedding date, she briefly explained the subsequent arrangements: "In the past three months, send the disciples to the secret realm for training to speed up the improvement of their cultivation. Third Aunt, please contact Qingle Palace and the Seven Sects more often. I will let Yunchang take care of the comfort of Mingluan Palace. I will go to the secret realm to cultivate. The wedding will be handled by Lingbei Humian. You should keep an eye on them on weekdays. Especially Lingnan..."
Hua Xiangwan said with a bit of regret on her face: "She is the child of my senior brothers and sisters. Now I have no offspring either. In the future, Hehuan Palace..."
"Don't say that."
Hearing what she meant, Bai Zhuyue's expression changed instantly, and he said excitedly: "Now nothing has been done. If you want to speak, at least wait until you take it seriously... before you speak!"
Hua Xiangwan did not respond. Bai Zhuyue's breathing became a little rapid. Hua Xiangwan stepped forward and sent her some spiritual power, comforting her: "Master, don't worry, I just said a possibility."
"Just take a good rest first and don't think too much."
Bai Zhuyue didn't say anything. She held the armrest and asked, "Doesn't your poison take effect faster the higher your cultivation level? You went to the secret realm to cultivate. Doesn't that have any effect?"
"I'm going to cultivate sword spirit, not cultivation," Hua Xiangwan explained. Bai Zhuyue turned to look at her. Hua Xiangwan whispered, "Master, Xunqing is still here. I'm still a sword cultivator."
After comforting Bai Zhuyue, Hua Xiangwan walked out of the study. She explained the details before entering the secret realm one by one. It was not until the evening that she called Qin Yunshang and Xue Zidan to Yunfu Tower.
She had been waiting at the Yunfu Tower early, preparing some wine and some side dishes. Qin Yunshang and Xue Zidan walked in. Seeing this, Qin Yunshang curled her lips and smiled: "Hey, what time is it? You still have the leisure to treat us to a meal and a drink?"
"It's just right at this time," Hua Xiangwan smiled and opened two bottles of wine for the two of them. "If it's earlier or later, we won't have time."
"I heard the wedding date has been set?"
Qin Yunshang said as she walked to the table with Xue Zidan and brought a jar of wine. Hua Xiangwan nodded: "Yes, it's settled. The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month."
"It's been a long time since we had a drink together," Qin Yunshang sighed, and suddenly remembered something, "Oh, don't mention it, it seems that we have never had a drink together openly in our lives."
When she was young, she was afraid that Mingluan Palace would find out that she was on good terms with Hehuan Palace, so she sneaked around like a thief every time she came to Hehuan Palace, let alone making friends with Hua Xiangwan.
Later, when Hua Xiangwan fell into poverty, she had to pretend to be bitter and resentful every day.
Now, we can finally drink together openly, but there are no more opportunities.
"It's a pity that you are marrying the Demon Lord," Qin Yunshang said with some regret, "otherwise you could have a glass of wedding wine."
"You talk as if you've never drunk before," Xue Zidan sneered. "Didn't Qin Yunyi cause a big scene in Hehuan Palace on her wedding day? Were you sitting in the guest seats watching the show?"
"How could I have been in the mood to drink at that time?" Qin Yunshang hurriedly said after hearing Xue Zidan talk about this matter, "I was very anxious. Qin Yunyi wanted to poison me. Although I informed her about this matter early, she didn't even reply. Am I not worried?"
"Do you still have a conscience?"
Xue Zidan showed a surprised look. Qin Yunshang choked and was about to say something when she heard Hua Xiangwan laugh and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking. Can you guys take a break? I say, Xue Zidan, how come you can't keep quiet no matter who you meet?"
She turned to look at Xue Zidan and said seriously, "If you continue like this, you will be alone forever."
"It sounds like everyone in the cultivation world needs a partner."
Xue Zidan was dissatisfied: "I am living well alone, am I not?"
"You are a medicine cultivator, and now you don't make poison anymore. I will be worried if you don't find someone to protect you." Hua Xiangwan sighed, and said with a good look on her face, "Find a capable female sword cultivator to marry, so that you don't have to run around for your life every day, and you will have a way out in the future."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yunshang burst out laughing. Xue Zidan turned his head away, and she quickly used the wine pot to cover her face: "Don't look at me. A female swordsman like me who is rich, capable and has status can't look down on you."
The three of them chatted and laughed, without mentioning business. They drank and chatted for a while, then they talked about the past, and Xue Zidan started to talk more.
"You don't know how smart I am," he raised his hand and boasted about his past. "Since the founding of the Medicine Sect, there has never been someone as amazing as me. I'm average at treating illnesses, but I'm good at making poisons. Throughout history, no one can match me."
"Yeah, that's amazing." Qin Yunshang and Hua Xiangwan propped up their chins, watching him drunk and mad with boredom, and gave him a perfunctory response.
But just after Xue Zidan finished speaking, he remembered something and burst into tears. He leaned on the table and knocked on it, "Grandfather is right. If you make poison, you will die a miserable death. Why do so many people like to eat the poison I make? If I don't make poison, how could Grandfather be poisoned to death? How could something happen in Hehuan Palace? It's not easy for me to like someone," Xue Zidan got up with tears in his eyes, looked at Qin Yunshang, and sobbed, "It's gone just like that. I can only take a pill to forget it. My life is really miserable."
"Don't be sad," Qin Yunshang persuaded him, "Maybe it will be the same if I don't eat your poison but eat someone else's poison?"
"Impossible," Xue Zidan immediately shook his head upon hearing this, "Except for me, no one can poison my grandfather, and no one can play the zither and chant the rain."
"If you say so," Qin Yunshang was choked by these words and could only say, "I can't persuade you anymore."
Hearing this, Xue Zidan lay back on the table and burst into tears.
Hua Xiangwan watched him cry, slowly drinking the wine, and only scolded him: "Why are you crying? I haven't cried yet. Your grandfather will be alive soon, and Hehuan Palace will be resurrected soon. You have nothing to regret except that your life is a little short."
"Ah Wan," Xue Zidan raised his head and looked at Hua Xiangwan with red eyes, "I will live and die with you. Do you think I am better than Xie Changji and Shen Yichen?"
"How did you manage to eat Acacia and still be so persistent?"
Qin Yunshang was a little curious. Xue Zidan sniffed and said seriously, "Because I am too good, I don't allow them to be better than me."
"You should cry for a while longer," Hua Xiangwan raised her hand and pressed Xue Zidan's head against the table, "Don't say such evil words."
Xue Zidan leaned his head against the table and cried for a while before he became quiet. Hua Xiangwan and Qin Yunshang were drinking. Qin Yunshang thought for a moment and stood up: "Let's go get some fresh air."
The two of them carried the wine jar and walked to the edge of the Yunfu Tower and sat down beside it.
From the highest point of Hehuan Palace, one can see the entire main city behind it. The lights are bright at night, and the night breeze blows them. Qin Yunshang said slowly, "When I was a child, I always wanted to come up and take a look, but you never brought me up."
"My mother lived here at that time," Hua Xiangwan took a sip of wine and said slowly, "I couldn't come up several times. Didn't I bring you up later?"
The few times they met in the past two hundred years were almost all in Yunfu Tower. After all, this was the most difficult place in Hehuan Palace to be spied on.
Qin Yunshang smiled and said, "I won't care about it anymore when I grow up."
"There's a lot going on."
"Ah Wan," Qin Yunshang looked at the lights all over the city, "I can't quite remember what Wangxiu looks like."
Hua Xiangwan listened to Qin Yunshang's words without saying anything. Qin Yunshang looked at the city calmly and said slowly: "Two hundred years is too long. I am used to him not being here. I just set a goal at the beginning, but stopped halfway. I don't know where to go. On the contrary, you," Qin Yunshang raised her hand and turned to look at her, "sometimes I wonder, if you are gone, what will happen next?"
Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. The two looked at each other quietly in the night. After a moment, Hua Xiangwan smiled and said, "Senior brother will be back soon."
Qin Yunshang stared at her, and Hua Xiangwan said calmly: "Don't think too much. Do you remember when we were shooting arrows as children, our teacher taught us how to hit the target?"
Hua Xiangwan raised her hand and made an archery gesture: "Aim at the bull's eye, don't think about anything else, draw your bow, release the arrow, there is no turning back."
Qin Yunshang lowered her eyes and looked at the wine in her hand which reflected the starry sky and the bright moon.
Hua Xiangwan said slowly, "Yun Shang, I've always felt that among our generation, you have the strongest mind and will go the longest in the future. For the sake of our sisterhood, please do me a favor."
"What?"
"I will give you a talisman paper, and this talisman paper is my life." Hua Xiangwan looked into the distance with a calm expression, "If there is any accident, when I release the ghost spirit, revive the Hehuan Palace, and kill all the monks who have passed the tribulation, and I am not dead, then you will be the last knife bearer."
Hearing this, Qin Yunshang's eyes turned cold. She stared at Hua Xiangwan. Hua Xiangwan turned to look at her and said, "After I die, everyone in Hehuan Palace will be resurrected. Wangxiu will marry you, and you will be in charge of Mingluan Palace. From now on, as long as you are here, Hehuan Palace and Mingluan Palace will be allies. It will be just a matter of time before you become the Demon Lord."
"If I kill you, do I still expect Hehuan Palace to become my ally?"
Qin Yunshang sneered: "Are you trying to trick me?"
"Just don't let them know." Hua Xiangwan smiled and said lightly, "I will leave a letter, don't worry."
"Hua Xiangwan," Qin Yunshang said angrily, "You used me like a knife, but you didn't feel any pain at all."
"Friends," Hua Xiangwan joked, "are they meant to be cheated, right?"
"you……"
"Besides," Hua Xiangwan interrupted her and took a sip of wine, "I don't trust anyone except you. Either I can't do it, or I don't dare to entrust my life to you. Only you," Hua Xiangwan said seriously, "I know you will respect all my decisions, including death."
Just like they have been doing for so many years, no matter what they do, they allow each other to make all the choices and spare no effort to help each other.
In order to fulfill her wish, she went undercover in Mingluan Palace for two hundred years, and was deserted by her relatives and friends.
She also sacrificed her life to save her lover and paved the way for her bright future.
Qin Yunshang stared at her. Hua Xiangwan raised his hand and casually handed her a talisman written with his own blood. Then he continued to instruct: "I have temporarily stabilized the Demon Lord, but there is no guarantee that he will not seek revenge on Xue Zidan. You find a place to put him. Joking aside, he is a medicine cultivator, so you still need to protect him."
"He's a slipperier loach than me, nothing will happen to him."
Qin Yunshang's hands trembled slightly, but she still took the talisman paper and put it into the spirit bag.
Hua Xiangwan nodded and said, "During the three months I'm in the secret realm, you should try to gather as many people as possible for yourself. On the wedding day, don't go into the Demon Palace. Let in all the people from Mingluan Palace who participated in the affairs of Hehuan Palace. When everything is over, you can come to rescue them or collect the bodies."
"good."
"One last thing," Hua Xiangwan thought for a moment, pursed her lips, raised her hand and handed the Jade Sea Pearl to her, "I give you the Jade Sea Pearl. Inside is Shen Yichen's soul. Find a place to nourish it. If you have the chance in the future, help me revive him and say sorry."
"Shen Yichen..." Qin Yunshang held the Jade Sea Pearl and frowned, "Is he the Demon Lord?"
"You doubt it, too?"
Hua Xiangwan smiled, and Qin Yunshang responded: "When the Hehuan Palace was in trouble, the people behind were too familiar with the Hehuan Palace. Now the Demon Lord has resurrected in Shen Yichen's body and wants to marry you..."
Qin Yunshang pursed her lips: "I can't figure it out."
"Yes," Hua Xiangwan said calmly, "Moreover, he had many ways to make Xie Changji possessed, but he chose the most compelling reason and let Xie Changji see Yi Chen's face to produce inner demons. If it wasn't because of jealousy, what was the reason? So I thought of Qin Xiansheng——"
Hua Xiangwan explained: "When he was Senior Sister Hu Mian's Taoist partner, the Demon Lord extracted a strand of his love soul. Afterwards, his love soul transformed into a human form to rescue Senior Sister and turned into her left eye. And he himself was a good leader of the Wulong Sect, Wu Sheng."
"You suspect..."
"I suspect that Shen Yichen is the Demon Lord's love soul." Hua Xiangwan said firmly, "When a person loses his love soul, he not only retains the ability to love a person, but also loses the ability to love this world and feel all the beauty in this world. When Wu Sheng died, his reaction was very contradictory. He envied Qin Xinsheng, was jealous of Qin Xinsheng, looked down on Qin Xinsheng, and cherished everything Qin Xinsheng had experienced. Don't you think this is very similar to the current Demon Lord?"
"So? Is he or not?"
Qin Yunshang asked, Hua Xiangwan thought about it and just said: "No."
"Shen Yichen is indeed a part of the Demon Lord's soul, but he has entered reincarnation and has become a complete person." Hua Xiangwan turned to look at Bi Haizhu with a gentle gaze, "Everything he did was Shen Yichen's fault and had nothing to do with the Demon Lord."
It was Shen Yichen who took care of her, it was Shen Yichen who grew up with her, it was Shen Yichen who came ashore, and it was Shen Yichen who died for her.
Finally, in the heavy rain, it was Shen Yichen who transformed into Xie Changji's appearance, spitting blood and asked her: "If I were his appearance, A Wan, would you be happier?"
Listening to Hua Xiangwan's words, Qin Yunshang held the Jade Sea Pearl in her hand and said, "Since it is the Demon Lord's love soul, he should be able to sense it. If you give me the Jade Sea Pearl, won't he find out?"
"I have long isolated the Jade Sea Pearl from the outside world. Since he didn't ask about it today, he won't ask about it in the future. After all," Hua Xiangwan laughed sarcastically, "he doesn't want me to know about his relationship with Shen Yichen."
Just like Wu Sheng, who didn't want to admit his relationship with Qin Xiansheng until his death.
The two drank on the rooftop until midnight, when they were finally tired. Hua Xiangwan stood up and said tiredly, "Let's go back."
Qin Yunshang stumbled to Xue Zidan's side and kicked him: "Wake up, let's go."
Xue Zidan looked up in confusion, and Qin Yunshang grabbed his collar and lifted him up: "Come with me, I'll find a place for you to hide, so you won't be killed by the Demon Lord."
"ah?"
Xue Zidan was half awake from the alcohol. He only vaguely heard words like "go" and "hide". He vaguely remembered something and said vaguely, "Wait, I still have to check Ah Wan's pulse."
"Pulse?"
Qin Yunshang didn't understand, and she saw Xue Zidan push her away, walked forward, and grabbed Hua Xiangwan's hands. Hua Xiangwan looked at him in confusion, and she saw Xue Zidan frowning and kept asking, "It's so strange, what kind of pulse is this?"
"What's wrong?"
Hua Xiangwan had a headache. Xue Zidan didn't say anything. After a long time, Qin Yunshang came over and pulled him: "Let's go."
The three of them supported each other as they walked down the Yunfu Tower. Qin Yunshang pulled Xue Zidan away, and Hua Xiangwan returned to her room by herself. After a quick wash, she fell directly onto the bed.
Before falling on the bed, she wondered vaguely whether Xie Changji had already reached the realm of life and death. It must be very cold for him to be alone in the realm of life and death.
At this time, Xie Changji was sitting in a dilapidated temple where some people were warming themselves by the fire. Among them were beggars, merchants, a mother and son who were running to another village to look for their relatives, and hunters who were trapped by the night rain.
It rained at night. He sat at the door, looked up at the rain and listened to people chatting behind him.
"My wife is very beautiful. When she was young, many people came to her door. I also saw her by chance in a shop and I have never forgotten her since then..."
The businessman talked about his past with his wife.
"I don't have much to think about. I just want to get some extra copper coins tomorrow. There's a steamed bun shop on West Street. I smell the delicious food. I want to buy a meat bun."
The beggar talked about his dreams.
The mother and child snuggled together, and the child seemed to be sick and cried loudly.
The mother held him in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes, and sang a song to ward off evil spirits, trying to stop the child from crying.
…
The ruined temple was noisy and bustling, but Xie Chang was listening quietly. He had heard these words before, but they were just what he heard. But now, for the first time, he slowly began to understand something.
The businessman said that he fell in love with his wife at first sight. He thought of Hua Xiangwan and the sudden panic he felt when he first saw her.
The beggar said he wanted to buy a meat bun. He thought of Hua Xiangwan and how he had just learned that Hua Xiangwan had come back to life and married her. At that time, he wanted it but couldn't get it, but he still had a glimmer of hope, always hoping that he could be closer to Hua Xiangwan tomorrow, just like the beggar wanted a meat bun.
The mother's eyes were filled with tears. The pain was felt by her child and the suffering was felt by her heart. He would still think of Hua Xiangwan. He wanted to take her place in every suffering she endured...
Hua Xiangwan is like a mirror, reflecting this world. He experiences all the emotions in this world through her, and suddenly he begins to understand things that he could not understand in the past.
The people behind him were chatting, and seeing him sitting outside the door, they couldn't help but say, "Master, it's raining heavily outside, why don't you come in and sit down?"
“No need.”
Xie Changji responded calmly, and the hunter laughed: "Master, you are sitting outside the door alone with a lot on your mind, what are you thinking about?"
Xie Changji remained silent. After a moment, he said softly, "My wife."
Everyone was stunned. The merchant quickly stood up and walked to Xie Changji in surprise: "Master, are you married?"
Xie Changji nodded: "Yes."
"What is your wife like? Can you tell me?"
This question stunned Xie Changji. He thought for a long time and said, "Very good."
"Master," the little beggars also came around Xie Changji and asked curiously, "Can Taoists get married? How did you and your wife meet? Does she have a good temper? What do you like about her?"
When they heard that the Taoist priest was getting married, everyone started chattering and asking about it. Xie Changji looked at the wind and rain outside, then turned to look at the mother and son in the temple. He suddenly remembered that they were all mortals and it was cold outside. After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked into the house.
Everyone happily welcomed him into the ruined temple. Xie Changji silently sent a spiritual power to the child. Everyone sat down and started chatting with him.
He doesn't talk much, but when it comes to Hua Xiangwan, he is willing to say a few more words.
After chatting for most of the night, everyone was tired and lay down to rest. He sat by the fire and turned to look at the mother and son.
After a while, he lowered his eyes and looked at the dream seal on his hand. After hesitating for a long time, he finally entered Hua Xiangwan's dream.
He had a lot of things he wanted to talk to Hua Xiangwan about.
For example, he wanted to tell Hua Xiangwan that he helped a mother and son tonight. Unlike the people he helped for the Tianjian religion in the past, helping this mother and son tonight had nothing to do with morality. He just suddenly thought, if Hua Xiangwan was a mortal, how difficult it would be for her and her child to be wandering outside.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little bit of pity, so he put himself in their shoes and helped the mother and son.
But he entered Hua Xiangwan's dream and saw her from afar standing beside the long river on the night they parted, looking at the sky full of lights, as if waiting for him.
He didn't dare to speak.
He was afraid that Hua Xiangwan would recognize that he came from a dream, so he could only transform himself into a dream, hide in the dream, and watch him from afar.
Hua Xiangwan had a dream all night. She dreamed of Xie Changji. He was standing not far away, but he didn't say a word.
When Hua Xiangwan woke up the next day, she lay in bed for a while before finally getting up. After washing up, she called Ling Bei Hu Mian and others to come over, arranged everything, and confirmed with Qin Yunshang where Xue Zidan was going: "Have you hidden him?"
"Don't worry." Qin Yunshang glanced at Xue Zidan who was looking for a book in the secret room full of books, and said nonchalantly, "It's hidden well, no one can find it. But he sobered up today and said there was something he forgot to tell you last night."
"What?"
"He said your pulse was strange. He had never seen such a pulse before and asked you to be careful."
After hearing this, Hua Xiangwan was silent for a moment. Qin Yunshang was afraid that she would worry, so she quickly said, "But he is already checking the books. I will let you know if there is any result."
"good."
Hua Xiangwan responded, saying, "Let me know if anything happens."
After saying that, she went to the secret realm of trial.
Every major sect has a secret trial realm for disciples to improve their strength. The time in the secret realm is not consistent with the outside world. The larger the sect, the greater the time difference and the stronger the spirit beasts inside.
The secret realm of Hehuan Palace was taken away by Qingle Palace and occupied for two hundred years. Now it has finally been returned.
One year in this secret realm is equivalent to one hour in the outside world. The strongest spirit beast can reach the Yuanying level. When Hua Xiangwan entered the secret realm, he went straight to the last level.
She fought in the secret realm day and night. When she was tired, she would come out to rest, and occasionally take a nap and dream.
Sometimes she would dream of Xie Changji, he was standing by her side without saying anything, she would pull him over and talk about how hard she had been working these days, sometimes she would ask him what he was doing, he basically didn't answer, only once, he slowly said: "I met a mother and son, she went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives, on her way back she encountered bandits, luckily she survived, I sent them back to the village, their family was grateful to me and invited me to stay for a while."
When she heard this, she knew she was dreaming.
Xie Changji is now in the realm of life and death, so why would he stay in a farmhouse?
But she still asked: "And then?"
"I am learning farming from them. They are very nice and often invite me to dinner. The children are very well behaved and call me uncle."
When she heard someone calling Xie Changji Uncle, she couldn't help laughing.
Xie Changji hugged her and talked to her about many things. He talked about some very trivial things that ordinary people could hardly understand. How to plant wheat, how wheat grows, how grass and trees sprout, how fertile the soil is...
All the details between heaven and earth were magnified and full of vitality in his eyes.
She just listened to his mumbling, leaned on his shoulder, and fell asleep gently.
Xie Changji turned his head, looked at her appearance, lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
Three months passed quickly, and the ninth day of December was approaching. Hua Xiangwan came out of the secret realm, and Ling Bei and Hu Mian reported the procedures of the wedding and the Demon Lord's succession ceremony to her.
"Do the Seven Sects have any objections to holding the wedding and succession ceremony together?"
Hua Xiangwan looked through the procedures and inquired about the situation.
"I dare not." Ling Bei said truthfully, "Mr. Shen has found everyone who has an opinion, and the seven sects will be at peace."
Hua Xiangwan nodded and glanced at the row of wedding accessories behind Hu Mian: "It seems like these things are all newly ordered?"
"Shen Yichen was in charge of this."
Hu Mian shrugged: "Originally everyone said that you could just use the one you wore when you got married, but he refused and ordered the wedding dress himself."
Hua Xiangwan paused and turned to look at Ling Bei: "So, was he also the one who arranged the scene in the Demon Palace?"
"Yes," Ling Bei looked a little uneasy, "but the magic circle to resurrect our brothers and sisters has been set up."
Hua Xiangwan nodded. The goal of the Jade Blood God was to destroy the world, not the Hehuan Palace. The more she killed, the better it would be for the Jade Blood God. He had no reason to stop her.
She responded, saying, "That's fine."
As she spoke, she thought of the Jade Blood God: "Where is Master Shen? I'm out of retreat, but he doesn't come to see me?"
"He said that according to custom, it is unlucky for the newlyweds not to meet before they get married."
After saying this, Hu Mian chuckled: "What's auspicious or unlucky between you and him?"
Hua Xiangwan didn't say anything. For a moment, she actually felt as if this person was actually holding a wedding.
She nodded without saying much, only confirming the progress of the construction of the Tianjian Sect's teleportation array. After confirming that the teleportation array could be opened tomorrow, she called Qin Yunshang, Kunxuzi and others, and finally confirmed the plan.
"When Shen Yichen and I get married tomorrow, the Tianjian Sect can open a teleportation formation to teleport the monks from Yunlai to the Hehuan Palace, and then directly to the Demon Palace from the Hehuan Palace."
Hua Xiangwan pointed at the map and drew it for Kunxuzi: "When you get there, don't go in yet. I'll release the Ghost Spirit. There should be a fight with the monks from the Western Territory. After I kill Shen Yichen and the poison takes effect, when the Ghost Spirit is at its weakest, you can come in."
Hua Xiangwan raised her eyes and looked at Kunxuzi: "How is Xie Changji doing? Has he comprehended the last move of the Sword of Questioning the Heart?"
"Well……"
Kunxuzi's scalp tingled at the question, and he forced himself to say, "No."
Xie Changji hadn't contacted him for three months. He went missing after leaving. I guess he didn't have any information. If he had gained enlightenment, he would have returned long ago.
Hua Xiangwan was not surprised at all, and just said, "Then there is no need to inform him, lest he become a new container for the Lu Ling. The power of the Lu Ling depends on the highest level that the host body can reach. If it parasitizes on an ordinary cultivator, there is nothing to worry about."
"Um……"
Kunxuzi nodded vaguely. Hua Xiangwan turned to look at Lingbei and said, "You don't have to follow me in. Wait outside for Tianjian Sect and Qin Yunshang to come."
"But if the Seven Sects see this, it's too obvious that there's something wrong."
Ling Bei reminded him uneasily. Hua Xiangwan hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "Then you choose a few disciples and go in with me. The fewer people the better."
"yes."
