The only function of the Shuangling Horn is to read memories.
Humans have three souls: Tai Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing. The body's memories are stored in the second soul, Shuang Ling. Through Shuang Ling, one can share the memories of a target with oneself.
Yuan Xin was always the first to rush forward. After glancing at the unconscious person, she turned to Rong Yu and asked, "Grandmaster Uncle, how is he?"
Rong Yu pursed his lips and said, "Let's talk outside."
After saying that, he glanced at the person who was still in a daze, turned around and left first.
As soon as Yuan Xin and the others left, his respectful expression vanished, and he looked at Geng Qi, his face instantly changing: "He's already unconscious, yet he's still holding on so tightly, what a scoundrel!"
His words were full of disdain.
Geng Qi snapped out of his daze, quickly released Li Yao, turned to face Yuan Xin, and said with dissatisfaction, "You treat people so differently. I've seen her memories, why don't you ask me anything?"
Yuan Xin was slightly taken aback, and her attitude indeed softened: "So what did you see?"
As Geng Qi walked, he said, "This person escaped back."
"Escaped back...where did you escape from?"
"Hmm..." He frowned and thought for a while.
Yuan Xin followed closely, her eyes never leaving her for a moment.
As he reached the doorway, Geng Qi suddenly stopped and then yawned inappropriately.
Yuan Xin: "..."
Rong Yu was calmly watching him from outside the room, which startled him so much that he quickly closed his yawning mouth. He was now somewhat intimidated by this person, so he said to Yuan Xin, "Actually, I didn't see much either. You should go and ask your grandmaster!"
"you……"
Yuan Xin's face flushed red, her curiosity turning into anger. Just as she was about to scold him, she saw him turn and walk towards another room, and couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Where are you going!"
Geng Qi didn't even turn his head: "I'm going to sleep for a while."
Upon hearing this, the two female disciples who saw him get up in the morning asked in surprise, "Don't you usually get up at 9 am?"
"What's wrong with starting at 9 AM? Isn't it almost 1 PM now?"
He braced himself against the door frame with one hand, and raised the other hand, seemingly doing something, covering his mouth and yawning.
Hearing his matter-of-fact statement, the two female disciples exchanged glances, their expressions showing even greater surprise.
The hour of Wei (1-3 PM)... means he had only been up for less than two hours, so why was he going to sleep again?
The courtyard was noisy. Qinghan noticed that his door was not closed properly, so he went over and closed it. When he turned around, he saw someone staring at him, or rather, staring at the door behind him.
Rong Yu waited for him to come over and asked, "Is he always like this?"
Qinghan still remembered that Gengqi had told him that it might have been exposed, so he was somewhat wary of this person. After considering for a moment, he replied, "My brother... is a bit sleepy."
Rong Yu frowned slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
Geng Qi slept for another hour. The courtyard was empty except for Qing Han, who was the only one keeping watch. It was the hottest time of day after the sun had risen high. He sat at the marble table with his hands in front of him, and a shiny white scorpion crawling on the back of his hand.
His lips unconsciously curled up, his fingers gently stroking the scorpion's back. He was about to speak in a low voice when a soft sound came from behind him. He quickly stood up, put one hand behind his back, and respectfully called out, "Young Master."
As he was speaking, the scorpion had already crawled from the back of his hand into his wide sleeve.
Geng Qi, completely unaware of what was happening, looked around and asked, "Where is everyone else?"
Qinghan said, "Miss Li Yao's husband came to the village head's office, insisting on taking Miss Li Yao home. Senior Sister Yuan led a few people to send them back, and the others also left the office."
Where is Rong Yu?
"He went to the town entrance."
Where is Su Mo'er?
"With Senior Sister Yuan."
"And what about you?"
"..." Qing Han was stunned, her face showing confusion.
Geng Qi said helplessly, "It's so sunny, have you been sitting here in the sun the whole time?"
Qinghan quickly shook her head: "I...I just sat for a while."
"That's more like it." Geng Qi was satisfied. He straightened his clothes, tied his long hair casually with a ribbon, and stepped across the stone table, saying, "Let's go find Mu Shan."
After the people from Tianzhi Sect left the mansion, Zhu Lizheng and his wife also returned to their hometown. It was a quiet time, and the two of them came out of the mansion and crossed a street. It was a hot time, and the vendors who came out to set up stalls couldn't stand the heat and hid in the shade. There were hardly any people on the street. Only a crow flew over the mansion's signboard and landed on the roof of a rouge shop across the street.
Geng Qi turned into an alleyway after several twists and turns. Just as he raised his hand, the black crow landed from above the alleyway and turned into a black shadow.
"Any news from the gates of hell?"
Kiyama said, "...No."
He didn't mind the unlucky nickname at all, while Qinghan looked at him strangely for a moment.
"Gate of Hell" is the name Geng Qi gave to the Demon Realm. Righteous people call the place where they live the Demon Realm, and the creatures in their territory demons. As for him, the Demon Lord, those with manners call him Demon Lord, and those without manners call him Demon Head. In short, they can't do without the word "demon".
One cannot be rude to others and become depraved oneself. Whether it is a demon cultivator transforming into human form, a cultivator becoming a demon, or a demon cultivator breaking through a bottleneck, they all undoubtedly have to go through the gates of hell. This is how the "gates of hell" got its name.
He also erected a boundary marker at the border between humans and demons, inscribing it with the words "Gate of Hell".
In Qinghan's view, it makes no difference whether it's called the Gates of Hell or the Demon Realm.
Hearing that there was no news, Geng Qi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but was also secretly puzzled. In the past, when he sneaked out for a few hours, the butterfly would follow him and bring him back. This time, he had been out for almost two days and had not seen anyone.
He glanced at Qinghan and then asked, "Where is Xie Beiying?"
Kiyama shook his head again.
Geng Qi was even more puzzled: "I lured Qing Han out, and that scorpion didn't say anything?"
"..."
Qinghan: "..."
Realizing he had let something slip, Geng Qi coughed lightly: "Never mind, I didn't come to you for this. Go and investigate someone, Rong Yu of Tianzhi Sect, everything about him. It would be best to find out why he appeared at Kaopan Mountain a hundred years ago."
"yes."
Kiyama responded, and the dark shadow disappeared, revealing a completely black crow in the sky.
Geng Qi looked up and was blinded by the sunlight. He shielded his eyes with his hand until he could no longer see it before turning around and leaving the alley.
Seeing that he was not returning to the village head's office, Qinghan asked, "Young Master, are you going back to... the Gate of Hell?"
Geng Qi asked, "What are we going back for?"
"identity……"
"If you run away after your identity is exposed, wouldn't that be considered fleeing from justice?"
"..."
Geng Qi turned around and smiled at him: "Let's go wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump."
