The sudden sound in his mind startled him, but he quickly reacted and asked, "Are you the system he was talking about?"
The system said cheerfully, "Yes, it's me, Master, we finally meet."
He was amused by the enthusiasm of the system. Facing such an invisible and intangible thing that only existed as a sound in his mind, he quickly adapted and asked curiously, "It sounds like you already knew about my existence? Did he mention me to you?"
"No, but I did know about your existence a long time ago." The system replied.
Xue Chenjing wished that this side of his personality would be wiped out and never appear again, and he would never mention him to others. But the system held the original script, so of course it knew everything. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
It even knows that when they wet the bed when they were little, the elder brother pinched his buttocks until his eyes were red and he held back tears, and it was the younger brother who pretended to wake up.
The younger brother would only stare at the bed sheet stupidly, shouting, "It was my brother who peed, not me."
However, before anyone else could say anything, he would start crying out of shame. So in the eyes of his parents, only the younger brother is a coward who often wets the bed and loves to cry.
"You knew it a long time ago." The person in front of the white stone archway lowered his eyelashes and did not think further. After all, with such a thing in his mind, almost all his thoughts can be seen by others, and he doesn't like it.
He stood up from the ground, raised his hand to rub the corners of his sore eyes, and said in a gentle voice with a smile: "You don't need to call me master, just call me Mingyuan."
The system was used to being ordered around by Xue Chenjing, and it was the first time to hear such a gentle voice from its host.
He and Xue Chenjing were really different. The system still remembered that when Xue Chenjing first heard its voice, he immediately closed his eyes and dug deep in his body to find it.
From the chaotic sea of heart to the meridians and flesh of the body, he almost counted every hair one by one, wanting to find it and kill it. He also tried to control it mentally.
Of course, it failed in the end.
After a long time, Xue Chenjing accepted being bound by such a useless and troublesome system.
While talking to the system, Xue Mingyuan glanced at the demons surrounding him from all sides, and then looked back at the three-room, four-pillar white stone archway in front of him, his eyes falling on the edicts on the two middle pillars.
"Do not invade evil spirits, do not disturb demons." Xue Mingyuan reached out to feel the power of the two edicts, and realized, "No wonder he can't get in."
He closed his eyes, and the surging demons in his heart had sealed themselves up along with Xue Chenjing. Now, there was only a oath monument left in the empty heart, and the oath monument was covered with a black mist, so the content on it could not be seen clearly.
Xue Chenjing hid the content of the oath monument and did not want him to see it.
The head of Xuandan Mountain stood a hundred steps away from the memorial archway, with a hint of doubt in her narrow eyes. Her red lips slightly opened, and her forked snake tongue poked out from her mouth, sweeping back and forth in the air.
Just now, after that person opened his eyes again, the feeling he gave people changed. Even the previous blood pressure on her disappeared, and he even had an aura similar to Ji Hanyi that she hated.
Xuandan retracted her long tongue, and the forked tongue tip swept across her red lips, with a dangerous look in the corner of her eyes. She was not a demon who was willing to be controlled by others. She was the most cold-blooded and ruthless snake. Once there was a chance to bite back, she would certainly not let it go.
When Xue Mingyuan reached out to touch the command on the doorpost, the figure of the demon of Xuandan Mountain Lord flashed and turned into a winding white stream of light, passing through the ruins and arriving in front of the white stone archway in an instant.
At that time, Xue Mingyuan was touching the command, listening to the system in his mind saying to him: "Master, the heroine has been in for a long time, let's follow her in."
Xue Mingyuan nodded and said: "Okay. But can you tell me about her first?"
The system had high expectations for this personality of the host. Compared with Xue Chenjing, who was stagnant in the task of conquering the enemy, it was obviously more likely to have a happy ending with the heroine. It immediately responded: "Of course."
At this moment, a huge snake demon rose from the ground, and its white scales as hard as armor reflected a dazzling white light in the sunlight.
A white light passed by the corner of Xue Mingyuan's eyes. He looked back and saw a bloody mouth with sharp fangs coming towards him. The snake demon's bright red tongue was like a long whip. The saliva splashing from the tip of its tongue corroded the ground and made a sizzling sound, and poisonous smoke rose up.
Xue Mingyuan twisted his waist to avoid the snake's tongue, took a step back, and retreated into the doorway of the white stone archway.
The barrier on the doorway swayed lightly, swallowing his figure without any hindrance.
The snake demon hit the white stone archway and triggered the barrier sword array again. Ten thousand sword lights shot out at the same time. Xuan Dan turned around and coiled on the ruins, raising her long tail to fight the rain of swords. After a long while, the rain of swords finally stopped.
The coiled white snake disappeared, and after the dust dispersed, her charming figure was revealed. Xuan Dan's white skirt was a little torn, and there was blood in a few places, but the injury was not serious.
The snake scales on her face had not completely faded. Her upright pupils looked at the motionless white stone archway, and she said in disbelief: "He actually went in..."
The barrier that repels demons and evil spirits actually accepted him without resistance. Isn't he a demon?
...
Behind the white stone archway is the hidden underground palace of the Ji family. This underground palace is very large, like a wide underground square, with only the surrounding columns supporting the entire space.
In the center is a three-story circular altar, which is small at the top and wide at the bottom. Each layer is surrounded by white marble railings, and there are stairs on all four sides.
There are tens of thousands of lanterns on the ground of this underground palace, one lantern per step, extending from the bottom of the altar to the top of the altar. Each lantern has a fingertip-sized flame, and the firelight makes this underground palace extremely bright.
Half an hour ago, when Yu Yi walked through the white stone archway and stepped into this place, he was shocked by the lanterns that filled the ground like the Milky Way and the starry sky.
But it wasn't long before she noticed the strangeness of these lanterns. The shape of these oil lamps was exactly the same as the soul-resting formation that Xue Chenjing had completed in the notebook.
The gaps between the bricks on the ground of this underground palace were almost all filled with plant roots, and the columns on all four sides were also entangled with plant roots.
However, these plants seemed to be controlled by some kind of force, and only extended their roots in the gaps without damaging any bricks, not even a crack.
Yu Yi stretched out her hand and pinched a thin root with her fingernails, guessing that it might be the root of a locust tree.
She originally thought that the locust tree had absorbed the spiritual energy of this place, which was why the locust flowers were able to glow. Now it seemed that the locust tree must have absorbed the power of the underground soul-soothing lamps, so when the locust flowers fell, they were attracted by the soul-soothing formation and formed an underground magic formation on the ground.
Yu Yi walked to the lantern at the edge, stretched out her fingers and grabbed her green bamboo sword. The tip of the sword emitted a green flame, and she grasped the hilt with both hands, pointed it at the oil lamp, and stabbed it down with all her strength.
When the tip of the sword was an inch away from the lantern, it suddenly stopped, and the sound of the sword rang in this empty underground space.
Yu Yi was shocked and took two steps back. She drew her sword to chop the sword energy that was scattered back and forth. She frowned, and the sword light on the green bamboo sword became stronger. She chopped three times in a row again. The sword light whizzed away, and when it chopped towards the lantern on the ground, it was still shaken away by the light of the lantern.
The green sword light was weakened by three points, deflected and slid to the right.
Yu Yi looked in the direction of his sword light, and suddenly saw a figure flashing in the direction of the sword light. He raised the long sword in his hand and chopped it down vertically, breaking the remaining sword will of Yu Yi with one sword.
Behind the dissipated green flame, a familiar face appeared.
Yu Yi initially thought that Xue Chenjing had chased her in again, but when she took a second look, she could tell the difference. She asked in confusion: "Are you Ji Hanyi?"
Ji Hanyi put the sword behind his back. His eyes were still gray and he could not recover his vision. But because the locust tree spirit sacrificed his life to restore his broken meridians, the immortal king's cultivation was mostly restored, and he could rely on the cultivator's sharp five senses to identify the surrounding objects.
He faced Yu Yi, bowed his hands, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Miss, this is the resting place of our ancestors. I hope you will show mercy and don't disturb the dead souls of the deceased."
The Immortal King had a cold temperament, dignified and elegant, with a thin layer of ice and snow between his eyebrows, but he was not arrogant, just like a winter plum blossom blooming alone on a branch in the snow, without any of the gloomy demonic aura that Xue Chenjing had when he was in this body.
Yu Yi couldn't help but look at Ji Hanyi a few more times before replying: "This sacred place is occupied by demons and evil spirits, and even the name has been changed to Xuandan Mountain. A group of demons are reveling wantonly above their heads. Do you really think that your ancestors can rest in peace here?"
This can really be regarded as a real disco in a grave.
Ji Hanyi frowned slightly, with a flash of pain on his face, and said guiltily: "It is my generation's incompetence that we cannot protect our home, but the Hall of Requiem is the last place of peace, and I cannot watch the young lady do whatever she wants here."
Yu Yi retracted the Green Bamboo Sword, trying to explain to him, "I am not acting recklessly, but to release the earth-bound spirit trapped above, and to give the noble ancestors peace."

"Where did the young lady say that?" Seeing her retract her sword, Ji Hanyi also politely retracted his own sword. He was not aggressive towards the man who broke into his own ancestral hall.
Yu Yi said, "Don't you think it's strange, Immortal Lord? Someone suddenly entered your body without any reason and suppressed your soul."
@無限好文,盡在晉江文学城
"That's a demon. My mind is not firm enough, so I let the demon take advantage of the opportunity to enter." Ji Hanyi said at the end, with some hesitation between his brows, as if he couldn't be convinced by his own words.
When the earth-bound spirit is deeply trapped in the past, it will only wake up again when it comes to the moment of death again.
But it can only wake up for a moment, and will fall into the past again, continue the next reincarnation, and experience what it experienced in life over and over again.
Yu Yi once tried it on Huai Li. After explaining it clearly to her, the little bird demon cried and fainted. When she woke up, she forgot everything. I don't know what the Immortal Lord will do.
She looked at Ji Hanyi's expression and tried to speak frankly: "The Immortal Lord should have noticed that it was not some inner demon. His name is Xue Chenjing, and he was a person who accidentally fell into this ghost realm like me."
"Ghost realm?" Ji Hanyi's gray eyes widened slightly, which made the Immortal Lord's expression look a little at a loss.
Yu Yi said, "Yes, the ghost realm. The Immortal Lord was forced to marry Xuan Dan. This happened a thousand years ago. After that, the people of the Jiang, Yao, and Yun families led the cultivators to attack Xuan Dan Mountain in order to save you, and a great war broke out between humans and demons."
"The demons on Xuan Dan Mountain, including you, the Immortal Lord, have been dead for a thousand years." Yu Yi observed his reaction, "After entering this place, I have been trying to find out what has bound so many souls here and cannot escape. Recently, I found a clue and guessed that it is very likely the soul-soothing formation in this underground palace."
Ji Han also turned his head to face the altar, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper.
He was not convinced by the words of the female cultivator in front of him, but he had vaguely noticed something wrong during the period when his soul was suppressed.
When things went off track for the first time in the bridal chamber, his mind was in turmoil, on the edge of being awake and unconscious, and he fell into confusion.
Yu Yi's words now were like a gust of wind, blowing away the last layer of fog in his heart that could vaguely see the truth.
"Earthbound spirit..." Ji Hanyi whispered softly, his expression changing several times. The repeated humiliation for thousands of years made his expression look ferocious and painful for a moment, but he closed his eyes and quickly suppressed the pain. Finally, he said with relief, "Okay, I am willing to work with the girl to break the formation here."
He was able to see through the confusion so quickly and stabilize his state of mind. Yu Yi admired him very much.
"This magic array is fully operational. It is difficult to shake it from the outside. We can only go to the center of the altar to have a look." Yu Yi said.
Ji Hanyi nodded, and the two walked towards the altar in the center of the array together. With Ji Hanyi leading the way, they moved much more smoothly. After all, he belonged to the Ji family bloodline. The ancestral tomb could defend against anyone, but it would never defend against its own descendants.
Yu Yi followed Ji Hanyi onto the altar and looked around.
There were also lit lamps on the altar, but in the center of the lamps was an intricately carved glazed lotus stand. The lotus stand was as white as jade, and each petal was filled with rich spiritual energy. It looked like it was made of a large piece of natural spiritual stone.
There was a soul fire floating in the pistil of each lotus platform. In the first level of the Circular Mound alone, she could see seven or eight lotus platforms with soul fires.
Yu Yi's fingers in her sleeves moved slightly, and she tilted her head to look at Ji Hanyi. She felt a little wary and asked in confusion, "Why did you ancestors leave the soul fire here?"
In the five years in the Bamboo Forest Secret Realm, she had read all the books left by her master. Her understanding of this world was no longer just the 800,000 words in the novel.
She also knew more things that were not written in the 800,000 words.
The way of heaven has rules, and life and death have order. The human body has three fires, and the soul also has soul fire. The soul fire is the root of the existence of the soul. After the death of the human body, the soul will dissipate, but the soul fire will not be extinguished. After entering the reincarnation, the three souls and seven spirits will be reshaped and reincarnated.
The Ji family left the souls of their ancestors on the lotus platform and set up soul-soothing formations on all sides. Could it be that they wanted their ancestors to never be reincarnated? This goes against common sense and human nature.
Ji Han also frowned, equally puzzled, "I only know where the ancestral hall is, and I have never been allowed to come in here."
As the two were talking, there was a sudden shock under their feet. The ground of the altar suddenly began to rotate. Yu Yi and Ji Han were on different levels. She was standing on the bottom level of the altar, and Ji Han was also on the second level.
The two were taken to opposite directions. Yu Yi quickly jumped into the air and wanted to fly away from the altar.
However, the circular mound rotated very quickly, and the position of the lanterns changed accordingly. The magic circle formed also changed accordingly, and suddenly froze on a strange magic circle pattern.
Yu Yi clearly flew back, and when she landed on the ground, she found that she was standing on the top level of the circular mound. Her eyes were quickly attracted by a lotus table in front of her.
This is the only lotus platform on the top floor. The light of the magic circle converges into the lotus platform from all directions.
The lotus platform made of white stone gradually becomes translucent white, as if it has come alive. A light golden soul fire emerges from the center of the half-closed petals. The light of the soul fire is reflected in Yu Yi's eyes. She stares at the fire, as if possessed. Her expression gradually becomes gentle, and she raises her hand involuntarily to hold the lotus platform.
The petals of the lotus platform close together at her touch, wrapping the soul fire in the center, and finally turning into a red pill the size of an egg. Yu Yi holds the red pill and raises her hand to feed it into her mouth.
Just as the red pill is about to enter her mouth, her wrist is suddenly grabbed by someone.
An overly familiar face appeared in Yu Yi's eyes. He blinked, and the tiny red mole on his right eyelid flashed for a moment, then was folded into the folds of his double eyelids. His eyes were clear, and he looked at her and said, "You can't swallow it. If you swallow it, you will get pregnant."
