Chapter 59 Father "What are you barking at?"
Zhu Qingshan was so angry that when he thought about how distraught his senior sister had been during this period, he wanted to beat Ji Ci up severely.
As soon as he stepped forward and grabbed Ji Ci's shoulders, he was pushed away.
Zhu Qingshan took two steps back without standing firmly and felt his back pressed against something hard.
Bang--
There was a loud bang and the sound of rocks breaking.
The object that was hit was actually the same statue from before, and when it hit the hard floor, the stones scattered everywhere.
“Ahem.”
Yin Zhiyi felt dust flying in front of his eyes and couldn't help coughing. Then the person next to him stuffed a piece of clean soft cloth into his hand.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Yan Shi was very considerate and now she was living the life of a real young lady.
There were no such conditions for exorcising ghosts in the past.
When the dust was completely dispersed, everyone realized that the statue that had shattered on the ground was only the outermost layer. As for the inside, it seemed to be a person!
Everyone became alert instantly, even Ji Ci, who hadn't had time to leave, had a changed expression.
But after seeing the man's face clearly, Bai Zhixing instantly froze his sword-holding hand and murmured, "Senior Sister."
The puppet on the ground had a blue-gray face, but its appearance was still well preserved, and even its hair was as lifelike as when it was alive.
The woman's face was extremely beautiful, except that the corners of her mouth drooped, making her look a little bitter.
Zhu Qingshan was a little bit incredulous when he heard Bai Zhixing's words. He had never seen Shen Qiushui before, so naturally he didn't know her.
But Bai Zhixing will not admit her mistake.
Yin Zhiyi paused as she was wiping the dust off her face. She looked at the woman's appearance carefully and finally found some of Yan Shiman's shadow in her.
It’s true.
Her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She already knew after reading the script that this person was Yan Shiman's mother, but she didn't expect her to appear here. However, in the original plot, it seemed that this matter was not revealed until the end.
She glanced at Yan Shiman out of the corner of her eye, and didn't notice that he was in a bad mood. She breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly. Instead, she felt that the corners of the boy's mouth behind her were slightly raised.
Looking back, it seems to be an illusion.
Bai Zhixing found it difficult to describe her current mood as her hands were shaking slightly.
They were both silent until Zhu Qingshan patted her shoulder.
"Let's get down to business first."
Although Zhu Qingshan also sighed a little, after all, she was just a senior sister whom he had never even met, so he was not too sad.
As for what the real business was, the two of them naturally knew it, but taking the Peacock Feather did not seem to be a wise decision at the moment.
While squatting, Bai Zhixing saw an intricate pattern carved on the ground where the woman was lying. She frowned slightly, as it looked very familiar.
At a glance, every brick on the ground has such patterns.
She suddenly thought of something, but felt it was too horrifying.
"Wait." Yin Zhiyi suddenly said, "Ji Ci, what's on your back?"
As soon as these words came out, Yin Zhiyi and Zhu Qingshan's faces changed instantly. The moment they looked at each other, they both thought of the tracking talisman from some time ago.
Zhu Qingshan burned the talisman on Ji Ci's back into powder almost without hesitation.
"Walk!"
Everyone reacted and it was obvious that they had been tricked.
No wonder it was so smooth to get in. I didn’t expect it was intentional. They were just too anxious today.
Ji Ci's face turned pale, and he wanted to explain: "It's not me..."
He thought of He Xi who brought him medicine yesterday, and instantly understood the whole story.
He thought it was a problem with the medicine, but he didn't expect it to be...
Zhu Qingshan carried the statue, which was the treasure of their sect and must not be left outside.
-
As soon as a few people went out of the secret door, they heard hurried footsteps.
The two groups passed each other in just a few breaths.
Fortunately, there are still many secluded palaces in the imperial palace.
Yin Zhiyi carefully pushed open the door of the palace, and suddenly found a very discordant place. On the ground...
Obviously Bai Zhixing also saw it, her pupils suddenly shrank: "It really is the Soul Sacrifice Formation."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on the pattern.
I didn't expect these people to be so cruel.
In fact, if you only look at this pattern, you can't tell. Yin Zhiyi knew it because he knew the script, and Bai Zhixing knew it because he and Zhu Qingshan had just been hiding in many empty palaces and had seen the same pattern.
In eight different directions, they saw two similar patterns just now on the west side of the palace.
Then the dark room, that's the southeast corner.
This is treating the entire palace as the center of the formation.
Zhu Qingshan leaned against the door with his back, frowning: "The palace is full of people trying to catch us. If we continue to stay here, we will be discovered in less than a quarter of an hour."
He glanced at the puppet on the ground with some hesitation: "We can't take this one away."
Bai Zhixing certainly knew what was more important, and she suppressed the pain in her eyes.
She started to make hand gestures. She had to take the Peacock Feather out of her senior sister's body first.
Yan Shiman's gaze fell on the puppet's heart, which was glowing with a bright blue luster, and the red bloodshot in his eyes became more obvious.
He rubbed his fingertips lightly, wondering what he was thinking.
Finally, after a few breaths, a half-broken heart-shaped piece of white jade appeared in front of everyone, covered with sword marks.
This is a sign of human-induced splitting. I wonder how much effort that person must have put in to split such a hard object.
Zhu Qingshan exclaimed: "Why is it only half?! And, does the peacock feather look like this?"
Although he had never seen the real thing, he had seen the picture album.
It doesn't look like a broken stone at all!
Yin Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat. Peacock Feather? The sect's magical weapon that never appeared from beginning to end in the original book?
Bai Zhixing looked at the unknown little flower carved on the half of white jade and felt it was particularly familiar.
But if it had seen it before, why didn’t the breastplate react at all?
She didn't stand up and was still squatting. Unexpectedly, the puppet, which was originally lying safely on the ground, suddenly reached out to her. The speed was so fast that it even brought up a gust of cold wind and pinched her neck.
Bai Zhixing dodged quickly, and almost instantly, she made a gesture to hide the half peacock feather into her body.
But his hand was tightly grasped by something.
When I turned around, I saw Yan Shiman with a very thin silk thread on his hand, black lines crawling on his neck, and his eyes were red, which were obvious marks of an evil cultivator.
Bai Zhixing's scalp suddenly tingled, and she was a little more incredulous: "You..."
She suddenly remembered the jade talisman that Yan Shiman had on his waist.
Yin Zhiyi's heart was filled with alarm bells. She didn't understand why the suppressed evil spirit in Yan Shiman suddenly erupted in anger.
Everything was fine before.
She wanted to go forward but was almost blocked by the evil aura emanating from Yan Shiman.
"Yan Shiman!"
She tried to get Yan Shiman to stop, but it was no use.
On the contrary, when Yan Shiman saw Yin Zhiyi trying to come over to stop her, he moved his hands, and the puppet threads were like a loose thread that directly trapped Yin Zhiyi inside.
"Miss, don't run around. It's easy to get hurt."
Yan Shiman's tone was difficult, not as relaxed as he appeared. Yin Zhiyi reacted quickly and immediately made hand gestures, trying to break the spider-web-like cage.
But she still underestimated the puppet thread and couldn't break it for a while. Her brows were getting more and more furrowed, and she was even a little impatient, not because she was trapped here, but because a sense of fear suddenly surged in her heart.
The plot has really become a mess.
She tried to communicate with the system in her mind.
"System! System!"
Fortunately, the system is still reliable this time: [Dear host, I am here. 】
"The plot is so messed up now. If it deviates from the original ending, will my mission be considered accomplished?"
[Host, don't worry. The behavior of the characters or the changes in the plot will not affect the final outcome. The host just needs to protect himself. 】
Yin Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt that there was something wrong with these words.
It will not affect the ending of the plot, but what about the ending of the characters?
But before she could ask anything else, the system went offline.
Here——
Shen Qiu Shui was obviously not as easy to deal with as the previous puppet. Seeing that Bai Zhixing was unable to hold on, both of them stepped forward to help.
Ji Ci glared at Yan Shiman angrily: "You are actually an evil cultivator?"
He seemed to suddenly remember what happened at Wangyou Villa: "I was wondering why you reacted so strongly earlier, it turns out you really have something to hide!"
Yan Shiman tilted his head slightly, confusion and clarity mixed in his eyes, but the movements of his hands did not stop for a moment.
Bai Zhixing's eyes were as cold as ice. After all, no matter who she was, she would not be indifferent when she repeatedly discovered that those who traveled with her were people with ulterior motives.
Moreover, Yan Shiman...
Bai Zhixing had no time to think about it and could only keep dodging.
The puppet thread clung to her body like a vine, and it seemed as if it would take root into her flesh in the next second, but it didn't, and it just continued to snatch the things in her hands.
"Senior sister, give it to me!"
Bai Zhixing threw the thing in his hand to Zhu Qingshan.
But just when the thing was thrown into the air, suddenly, another puppet thread broke through the air and swept away half of the peacock feather.
An extremely gentle voice came, with a hint of laughter in the tone: "It was really a good show."
"Fuck!" Zhu Qingshan drew his sword to cut the puppet thread, but he didn't expect that the cut thread instantly split into many strands and entangled with his sword.
The door of the palace was not broken open by anyone. Instead, it seemed that the man had been waiting here for a long time.
Ji Changfeng walked out slowly from the inner room and glanced at everyone present.
Ji Ci's face instantly lost all color, but Ji Changfeng did not stop on him. Instead, he looked at Yan Shiman, and a hint of ambiguous meaning flashed in his eyes.
The moment Yan Shiman saw Ji Changfeng, the furious aura around him calmed down, his eyes gradually became clear, and a flash of murderous intent flashed in his dark eyes.
Ji Changfeng played with the half peacock feather in his hand with satisfaction, then controlled Shen Qiu Shui to stand back beside him, and he whispered intimately in Shen Qiu Shui's ear.
"Qiu Shui, you've worked really hard this time."
The two of them were whispering to each other, just like a pair of real lovers.
But the person opposite was a lifeless puppet, which seemed a bit weird.
Ji Ci found it hard to believe what he saw. He knew that his father and mother had no emotional foundation, and he also knew that his father had a lover before, but he didn't expect that it was Shen Qiu Shui who disappeared many years ago.
And his father actually... This is simply... He felt dizzy for a moment.
At this time, Ji Changfeng spoke again.
But he was talking to Yan Shiman.
"Ah Man, why did you show mercy? I told you that it's safest to kill everyone else before you can get the goods."
He looked at Yan Shiman as if he saw through him: "Or, after being away for so long, have you really considered yourself a normal person?"
When Yan Shiman heard these words, a thick black mist rose from his body.
"A puppet shouldn't be merciful."
When Ji Changfeng said this, his expression really looked like a good father teaching his child.
"You might as well come back to me. Your body was once filled with my puppet silk." Ji Changfeng's tone was full of temptation. "Even if it is removed now, you can't kill me."
"You can't do it, Aman."
"Besides, you are an evil cultivator. If you mix with these people, will they tolerate you?"
"Help me kill them now, and I will forgive you for what happened."
The rest of the people were still confused. Everything that happened today was simply... unbelievable.
Yin Zhiyi was the one who reacted the fastest. She couldn't help but frown when she heard these inflammatory words. What kind of bullshit was this? She wanted to go up and give this old pervert two big slaps, but she couldn't leave for the time being, so she chose a more civilized way of speaking: "What are you barking about?"
In an instant, the sound attracted the attention of everyone present.
Yin Zhiyi continued: "Do you think everyone is as crazy and mad as you, a pervert?"
"If it weren't for you, would Yan Shiman have become what he is now? It's all your fault. You still have the nerve to PUA him. You are old enough to pick on young people and you are not ashamed."
"Shameless thing! You are the best at pretending."
Ji Changfeng had never been scolded like this before. His face turned pale and blue for a moment: "You are a vulgar, uneducated wild girl!"
When Yin Zhiyi saw his expression, she felt refreshed. She had wanted to scold him in her dream before, but she didn't have the chance. Now she had finally fulfilled her wish.
As for his insults, they had no offensive power at all.
But unexpectedly, after Ji Changfeng finished cursing, a sword attacked him.
"Watch your mouth." Yan Shiman's eyes were now flashing with sharp hostility. His sword almost grazed Ji Changfeng's neck, leaving a long line of blood.
Yin Zhiyi was afraid that Yan Shiman would be bewitched by Ji Changfeng's words. After all, in the original plot, he continued to oppose the male and female protagonists in the later period and died. Since the system said that the character's ending could be changed, she still hoped that Yan Shiman could have a better ending.
She formed seals with her hands and finally broke the web made of puppet silk.
Yin Zhiyi almost put on a protective gesture, holding her behind her: "Yan Shiman, don't listen to his nonsense, you are normal, he is deliberately irritating you."
When Yan Shiman heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
When Ji Changfeng heard this, he seemed to have discovered something new. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Normal? Ah Man, are you normal? We are blood relatives. You are destined to grow up to look like me."
He looked at the two of them at the same time, and suddenly laughed out loud: "Why don't you understand? You are my son. You are destined to be an emotionless monster like me. You will never be loved."
Yin Zhiyi retorted: "You are the only one who has no love, don't drag others into it."
She and Ji Changfeng argued back and forth throughout the whole process, which made his face turn blue, while Yan Shiman didn't say a word at all.
She's not bragging. That's how she scolded those teammates who failed to perform when they teamed up with her.
The dirtiest year was enough to make people cry.
Ji Changfeng's face froze, and he looked at Yin Zhiyi as if he was looking at a monster.
Then he sneered: "Little girl, do you really understand him? Do you know how cold-blooded he is? You say you love him? Hahahahaha."
Yin Zhiyi: “?” She didn’t say she loved him.
But at this critical moment of verbal battle, she still didn't grasp this insignificant point, and just sneered: "I only know that his past was all caused by you. Don't judge others by yourself. It's not that you are sick, but everyone in the world is sick."
