Rain four thousand years ago
The crowd dispersed, and a wheelchair slowly entered the room. Sitting in it was Wen Jie. A blanket covered his legs, concealing their already crippled form.
Wen Jie was talking to Hui Zifeng, but his eyes involuntarily moved to Shui Xi.
“He is not Huijiwu.”
Shuixi looked at Wenjie gently, his eyes not afraid of what was about to happen.
"Of all the people present here, you are the only one who should disappear from this world," Wen Jie said.
Song Shiwen asked anxiously, "Are you stupid? Who killed your brother? Don't you want revenge?"
Luo Yu grabbed Song Shiwen and said, "The most important thing now is to get rid of Shuixi. He is the most terrifying one."
"Luo Yu is right. A house-guarding beast that betrays its master is the most terrifying." Chen Liang walked in front of everyone and said, "Shuixi, the man in front of you is not your former master. He is Hui Zifeng. Go away and stop interfering in human affairs."
"You don't think the Hui family wouldn't have survived without my help, do you? I'm just an accomplice. Without a master, I'd perish on my own. If you want to get rid of me, it's easy. Just kill Hui Zifeng." Shuixi squinted at Hui Zifeng. Was this person Hui Zifeng or the spirit of Hui Jiwu? Hui Jiwu's name didn't appear in any records of the Hui family, so how did these people know? They were very familiar with the current situation and easily accepted that Hui Zifeng was actually the spirit of Hui Jiwu.
"Your master is someone else," Feng Liang confidently stated. "You destroyed Yunsheng Hall and the tomb of the 32nd generation of the Hui family. This shows that you no longer consider the Hui family your master."
The name of the person Shuixi was concerned about was about to come out, and he finally looked a little nervous. He raised his hand and waved it, and the floor under everyone's feet shook.
"What do you want to do?"
The sky outside the window quickly darkened, waves crashed against the shore, and heavy rain lashed against the glass. Shuixi looked as if he had spent the entire night in that violent storm, his face pale from the soaking rain.
"Where is Lu Cangyue?" Song Shiwen couldn't contain his impulsive temper. He was afraid that he would not be able to ensure Cangyue's safety before he and Shuixi died together. "Hui Zifeng, where did you hide Lu Cangyue?"
"Look, how could he not be Huiji Wu?" A shadow flickered in the corner of Shuixi's dim room like a window screen. "Exactly the same. No matter what time, Huiji Wu always does the same thing."
"Shuixi, no one wants to know about your grievances. Whether you want everyone to sink to the bottom of the sea together, or want to escape alone, no matter what, things that should not exist between us must be destroyed. If we can't do it, there are others who can. You should understand." Wen Jie took out a bunch of photos from his arms and threw them on the table near Shuixi. Hui Zifeng saw that it was a bunch of photos of carvings on the stone wall.
"These are all evidence of the Hui family's crimes," Wen Jie continued. "Besides you, there are also Lu Cangyue and Tao Shangshi. We will find them and send them back to your own world."
Shuixi's gaze wandered among the group of people, finally landing on Ming Yan's face. With a half-smile, she said to Shen Liang, "Then I have to thank you very much. But how are you going to find her? Relying on your ability to predict the future? Shen Liang? Song Shiwen, do you want Lu Cangyue to disappear from this world like them? Don't you like her very much? More than this person, don't you?"
Shuixi grabbed Hui Zifeng's shoulders and slowly exerted force.
"Stop! Don't hurt him!"
No one expected that when Huizi's life was hanging by a thread, the most nervous person would be Ming Yan, but this result was within Shuixi's expectations.
The floor beneath their feet shook again, and a crack appeared in the corner of the wall. A strong wind blew, lifting a corner of the house apart, and the smell of seawater instantly hit everyone's face. The door behind them had become a wall.
No one can escape from here. This is what Shuixi thought.
Eliminate all those who knew about this and give Lu Cangyue a safe and secure place to live. This was because this world could not tolerate the existence of an immortal. The events Lu Cangyue had carved on the stone wall recorded many people and many events. One of them was someone who constantly troubled her. "I'm afraid we have a personal grudge," she said, but she also said, "We seemed to know each other. He pushed me into danger, yet he would risk his life to save me when I was in danger."
Song Shiwen was shocked. "You also know where Lu Cangyue is! Shuixi, I get it. The other owner in your heart is Lu Cangyue. You want to protect her. You know where she is, right?"
Shuixi didn't respond, "Isn't the third person you're looking for here?"
The third person?
Feng Liang turned around and saw Ming Yan's expression as he was anxious to explain himself but hesitated to speak.
Shuixi hated Hui Zifeng so much that he squeezed his shoulders harder and harder. Amid the loud noise of the building being struck by lightning, they heard the sound of Hui Zifeng's bones breaking.
"Tell me who you are?" Shuixi's rage was simply crushed by breaking Hui Zifeng's shoulder, but what should he do with this man? So much had been lost, and it was irretrievable. He raised his hand like a gust of wind and slapped Hui Zifeng's face. "The blood of Hui Jiwu is just as filthy! Hui Zifeng and Hui Jiwu are no different. You both deserve to go to hell."
Seeing Hui Zifeng dying, he suddenly burst out with great strength, resisted, and pushed Shuixi away. However, Shuixi had no physical body, and he fell to the ground, his elbow numb from the impact, and he couldn't stop shaking.
"What have my Hui family done to you? Shuixi, I never treated you as a servant of the Hui family. I treated you as a good friend and a good brother. Even if you are some kind of house-guarding beast that can summon the wind and rain, don't you have a heart? You weren't like this before. Shuixi, if you hate me, just take me away and don't hurt others. They are innocent."
Shuixi kicked Hui Zifeng over. "You're going to die soon, and you still have the mind to play tricks like this? Why didn't I realize you were so good at disguise before? Do you still remember how you killed your brother, took away Si Tan's lover, and slaughtered the Luqi mountain people? Even if you are Hui Zifeng, you, the bloodline of Hui Jiwu, have done dirty things in every generation. You ordered me to kill He Ai, which is the most unforgivable thing! Whether you are Hui Zifeng or Hui Jiwu, you should pay for the sins you have committed!"
The building began to collapse, the floor crumbling beneath their feet. Shocked, Luo Yu and Shen Liang hugged each other. Song Shiwen turned and pounded on the door, but to no avail. Terror flashed in their eyes, and Shui Xi was quite pleased with it. When the smug smile on his face fell on Ming Yan's again, it suddenly changed.
He lowered his head to look at Hui Zifeng. As expected, the other party's eyes showed contempt without any scruples.
Death did not come as expected. Time and space seemed to have stopped. No one fell from the crack in the floor, and the house stopped splitting apart. The sea breeze and waves outside the window were still howling, but after entering the room, they lost their power.
"Your self-initiated rescue action ultimately sent yourself to hell. It's like this now and it was like this before," said Hui Zifeng.
Everyone can hear what he says.
No one present now will stand on Shuixi's side.
"Thank you for telling me your weakness. Do you see that light above you?" Hui Zifeng propped himself up, groping for the wall and flicking the switch. Even in daylight, accustomed to bright lights, the light was unusually glaring. Everyone else also closed their eyes.
This scene, compared to the information they'd received from Wen Jie and Song Shiwen, was still more than they could handle. The rain grew heavier, pouring down from the roof outside onto them. This icy rain, falling on them, made them see their hearts as a small puddle the size of a palm. There was nothing there, but if you looked beyond it, you could see a sliver of sky, a patch of cloud, through that small puddle.
This rain seems like a signal.
"This lamp can take you back to the time of your birth."
The sound of rain gradually faded. Clear, distinct raindrops landed on the two stone statues of Yunsheng Hall's guardian beasts. One of them yawned softly and glanced at its companion. They'd agreed to give birth simultaneously, yet it had been guarding the temple alone for fifty years. To vent his frustration, he intensified the lightning.
Si Tan, who was reading in the hall, was startled by this and leaned over the window to look out. The house-guarding beast yawned again, retracted its magical powers, and wandered around in a hazy state.
A young girl was riding up the mountain. The stream was surging along the path, and the guardian beast lazily made the rain heavier, causing the horse to break its leg and the girl to tumble down the path.
It was late at night, and the gods and Buddhas in Yunsheng Temple were not allowed to approach.
It was only then that the young master of Yunsheng Hall suddenly appeared and saved the girl. As Yunsheng Hall's guardian beast, he also had to protect the Hui family. Moreover, he was Si Tan's younger brother, so he had to show some respect. Fortunately, the rain abated, allowing the girl to ascend the mountain and kick open the gate.
The girl was the youngest daughter of the Luqi Mountain Prince, a wild, untamed monkey with a hint of evil about her. The guardian beast, concealed by the rain, revealed its true form, intending to frighten her, but just as it roared and attacked, it was stopped by the head of the Yunsheng Palace.
That is the foundation of our Yunsheng Palace's survival. You are so short-sighted.
The reason why Yunsheng Palace is so magnificent and exists to this day is entirely because of the financial support from this girl. It’s that simple.
The old man invited her in kindly, but the girl kept calling him "old monster" and cursed everyone in Yunsheng Hall.
The incident started when the head of the sect made a divination in front of many high-ranking officials of Luqi Mountain, and decided the girl's marriage with just a few words.
"The bond between the moon and the stone is witnessed by heaven and earth."
Lu Cangyue and Tao Shangshi.
"Or you can change your name to Lu Cangyue, and marry that coward from the Tao family, you old monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the house-guarding beast summoned lightning, which struck the girl's head. However, she was not afraid at all, and her wet eyes were fixed on the master's back.
The altar master walked out of Yunsheng Hall holding a white umbrella, gazing at the youngest daughter of the princely family from afar. The two had heard of each other before, but today was their first meeting.
The house-guarding beast didn't understand. It was understandable that the little girl was infatuated with Si Tan, but it was nonsense that Si Tan was deeply in love with the little girl.
Later he recalled that the thing that bothered him the most was that at this moment, another house-guarding beast that had been sleeping for more than fifty years woke up.
At that moment, the rain became heavier and the thunder and lightning became stronger, illuminating the entire mountain.
There was chaos, with buildings collapsing and bricks and tiles flying everywhere. In the midst of this chaos, the young Si Tan ignored the important Yun Sheng Hall behind him and instead rushed to Lu Cang Yue, who had been rude to him since their first meeting and had come to collect a debt.
Did their relationship start from this time?
Did the fate between Lu Zangyue and He Ai also start from this time?
