Chapter 226: Abandoning the Dark and Joining the Light
Sometimes he saw himself pickling green plums on a snowy mountain, and sometimes he saw himself on a white horse galloping to Shanyin City. A white horse should be equipped with a golden saddle, and you should ride the best horse to go to the place of your dreams. When he led the horse out of the stable, the horse's owner told him that this good horse was called Xiyuechen. Moonlight is the dust of the moon, and he deserves to ride such a horse to chase the moon in his heart.
He saw the child running away in the long, dark alley again. The child looked at the green-faced, fang-toothed monster attacking him in fear. A fairy in white descended from the sky and pierced the monster with his sword. But the scene changed, and the person hanging on the sword turned out to be himself.
Then a dark figure rose behind the moon. The child was still afraid, but the figure grabbed the young man in white from behind. The young man in white was unaware and looked up at the moonlight. But the dark shadow bound him tightly in his hands and he could never leave again.
He was born too late. So much history had happened to another person long before he was born. Xiyuechen can run very fast. It can run to Qingji Sect and can run over eight thousand miles, but it cannot run into the years that person has lived. Mu Hanshan heard the shadow ask him, "Are you sure that if you become a demon, you can get what you want?"
"Being a displaced demon cultivator, a demon cultivator who lives in danger every day, can you get what you want?"
The black shadow fell to the ground like water splash, and the majestic cultivator in white clothes and jade crown emerged from it. The cultivator was dignified and noble, but he had the face of Mu Hanshan. Mu Hanshan heard himself say: "What you really need is strength, legitimate power..."
"As an upright and righteous cultivator, I will imprison him by my side."
Someone else blew air into his ear and smiled at him: "Mu Hanshan, you never considered him your master from the beginning."
"You saw him as your yearning. But at that time, you misunderstood the meaning of yearning."
"You think you want to be him. Actually, you want to own him."
“For example… like this.”
Finally, as the light flowed, Mu Hanshan opened his eyes.
The scenes he saw in his mind when he was possessed by the devil made him terrified. This was definitely not what Mu Hanshan had expected. He covered his chest and gasped in fear. The last scenes he saw in his mind were even more difficult for him to accept. He never thought he would think like this.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Chang Feichang and subconsciously looked away for a moment. Chang looked at him with a frown.
Soon, Mu Hanshan lowered his head and seemed to be talking to himself for a while, then asked, "Where are Shiyi and Xuefei?!"
Where did they go?
Mu Hanshan was extremely anxious. The two emotions tore him apart, making it impossible for him to make a choice. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to get up and go find them first. He would never let anything happen to his fellow disciples. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Chang Feichang also stood up.
At that moment, Mu Hanshan was indescribable. He always forgot that Chang Feichang had once given him a sword, and instead remembered that he owed him another one. He said hoarsely, "Are you leaving?"
Chang said very simply: "I am going to the Old Ghost Palace. I have something I need there."
"Did those people ask you to get it?" Mu Hanshan asked, "They let you get hurt so badly, and they want you to work for them like that?"
Chang Feichang just looked at him without saying anything. Mu Hanshan shifted his gaze and lowered his eyes.
He left a note for Duan Ying and Wen Siheng, and then headed towards the Ghost King's Palace. On the way, Mu Hanshan turned around and saw Chang Feichang following him.
The two of them were just passing by, but it made him feel like they were returning to the past.
But the past will never come back.
However, just this one glance allowed Mu Hanshan to discover a clue. The eyes that have just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage are extremely sharp. So at this glance, he suddenly realized——
Someone is following them.
…
"The old Ghost King has gone mad. No one knows where he will appear in the Ghost King Palace. But I know he has a habit - he will regularly go to the altar between the old Ghost King Palace and Wangchuan. In the center of the altar, there is the coffin of the Ghost King's Queen - that is, Yun Simu's coffin. The coffin is surrounded by sand flowers." Feng Yue said, "It was at this time that I followed this road and slipped into the Ghost King Palace."
Feng Yue is a high-level thief who was able to steal Shuiqin from the Ghost King's Palace, so her words are very credible. While Ning Mingmei was on the road, he was talking to the other four groups through the portable wifi.
"Jiang Duo has been very active these past few days. He shows up every day to wander around the ghost market, and seems to be enjoying it." The two disciples reported, "Everyone in the ghost world knows about him. I also sent a copy of this news to the Xiang Mansion."
Ning Mingmei said: "I think the Xiang family already knew about it."
Xiang Wuxing should also have spies in the ghost world. What's more, his nephew is now kidnapped by the ghost world. Thinking of this, Ning Mingmei suddenly frowned. He asked: "Does Xiang Wuxing intend to come to the ghost world to rescue?"
Logically speaking, with Jiang Duo's appearance, the task of rescuing Xiang Wuxing's nephew would become even more difficult. At this time, there is a high probability that Xiang Wuxing will leave the front line and come to rescue his nephews.
What's more, Ning Mingmei heard that this nephew had a very good relationship with Xiang Wuxing. It is reasonable and logical for Xiang Wuxing to come to the ghost world at this time.
Thinking of this, Ning Mingmei sent an email to Xiang Wuxing, asking him if he knew about Jiang Duo. Soon, Ning Mingmei received a reply—not text, but a voice message.
...Xiang Wuxing still likes to send voice messages.
"What did Master Xiang Feng say?" Lian Chengyue asked.
Xiang Wuxing’s reply was simple. First of all, the Xiang family also had connections in the ghost world, and the news of Jiang Duo’s coming to the ghost world reached Xiang Wuxing and the Xiang family’s ears earlier. Secondly, the Xiang family was also very worried about the kidnapping of Xiang Wuxing's nephew, but the situation on the front line was tense and Xiang Wuxing did not intend to leave the front line. at last……
"I can't leave here. I'll leave my nephew's affairs to Junior Brother Ning. He is useless and deserves to suffer. Anyway, the swords of our Xiang family were born for the battlefield from beginning to end. Hahaha, Junior Brother is always reliable. When the work is done and I have time, we can have a drink together! When the time comes, Junior Brother can pick any sword he likes from the sword library of Guyue Peak!"
Ning Mingmei said: "Tsk, you annoying person, you made me work for nothing. I can't be without the sword."
But the finger that was about to reply was still hesitant to click. Among all the people present, only Lian Chengyue noticed this. He said, "Ning Xianzun, what's wrong?"
Ning Mingmei: "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this."
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, Ning Mingmei only replied: "Be careful, the reward must not be less."
This message floated to the north along with the spiritual waves in the air.
Gui Ruoxue also made a breakthrough. He found out Wu Fang's background.
Wu Fang once had a very happy family in the human world. His father was a military advisor, and he was the general's youngest son who was born with a disability. However, the general was fond of drinking and failed in battle. He blamed all the consequences on the military advisor because of his incompetence. The military advisor died in hatred because of this unjust accusation. As the youngest son, he was also exiled to the Northwest Prison to serve his sentence.
Wu Fang was not a Shao Xiu, so he was unable to escape from the prison in the human world through the tunnel. Fortunately, he was dead, so he could leave the human world prison through the coffin. After being transported to the mass grave, Wu Fang was captured by a ghost cultivator and his soul was refined. Those who refine souls will always be refined. Wu Fang quickly implemented the philosophy of the lower class conquering the upper class in the ghost world, achieved a reversal of offense and defense, and became the ultimate winner. Later, he carried forward the family tradition of being a deputy, was appreciated and promoted by Marquis Fengshi, saved Marquis Fengshi's life on the battlefield, and eventually became Marquis Fengshi's most trusted assistant.
Ning Mingmei likes Wu Fang's background very much. Fortunately, the relationship between Wu Fang and Feng Shi Hou was just a pure superior-subordinate relationship, and there was no substitute white moonlight romance, which saved Ning Mingmei a lot of energy - such as spending energy to accept a brand new gay CP. In this regard, Ning Mingmei gave Gui Ruoxue the following instructions on the matter of attacking her heart, and they reached the following consensus:
1. Investigate the case files of the generals and military advisors of that time. Although the general executed the military advisor, he himself was killed by the court because of his serious crimes. Therefore, justice was partially done. We in the Qingji Sect have people above us. As long as you are willing to turn from evil to good, our people above us will definitely give your father a title, and maybe even bury him in the cemetery of heroes. At that time, if you want to be resurrected, you can go to Qingji Sect to become a cultivator and you can get extra points.
2. An incompetent general can tire out the entire army. This was the shadow of your childhood, and now, because of Fengshihou’s stubbornness, it will become the shadow of your youth. Fengshi Hou's move is undoubtedly a desperate move. Are you really sure that the ghost world has the capital to declare an all-out war on the fairy world? You in the ghost world haven’t even entered the steam age, and one or two of you are still performing human sacrifices, while the human world has already entered the information age. By then, can the ghost world really withstand the wrath of the immortal world? Although you people in the ghost world have died once, you cannot die again and again. That would be too much.
3. Over the years, Fengshihou’s attitude towards you has not been very good. It was you who saved his life. Now that Fengshi Hou is old and confused, it is time for you to consider your own affairs. By then, wouldn’t it be great if you could become the new monarch of the ghost world and lead it into the new information age? This is not only a small step for you personally, but also a big step for the ghost world.
4. Your mask and flute are in our hands.
5. As long as you are willing to turn from evil to good, the deaths of those disciples will be forgiven.
Soon, under Gui Ruoxue's persuasion, the Ukrainian side revealed its flaws. He was still hesitant and unable to make a complete decision, but he was willing to tell everyone the whereabouts of the nine disciples - so as to prevent the ghost world from doing things too drastically.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
"Marquis Fengshi suddenly announced that the sacrifice would begin today?" Ning Mingmei asked.
"Yes. Wu Fang just received news that the nine disciples have been taken away by Feng Shi Hou and are on their way to the Ghost King Palace!" Gui Ruoxue said.
Ning Mingmei knew that Fengshihou was fast, but he didn't expect him to be so fast. The disciples who were monitoring Jiang Duo also replied, saying that Jiang Duo had also set off with Feng Shihou's convoy.
Fortunately, Ning Mingmei has arrived at the Old Ghost King's Palace. Ning Mingmei said: "You guys continue to monitor, we will go in and make arrangements first."
After saying that, Ning Mingmei looked at the building in front of him.
——I wonder where the old ghost king is and what he is doing at this moment?
