Yu Yi brought him to a stable cliff and stood still. When she tilted her head to look at him in surprise, she only saw an extremely gloomy face.

Xue Chenjing lowered his eyes, and under his thick eyelashes were a pair of eyes as dark as the abyss. It seemed that there was a violent storm surging in the abyss. He was filled with uncontrollable anger, which made his face flush strangely.

His chest was heaving violently, his breathing was heavy, his right hand grabbed his neck, his tiger's mouth stuck to his Adam's apple, and his five fingers pinched his throat to deformity. For a moment, Yu Yi felt that he really wanted to strangle himself to death.

Yu Yi let go of his waist and took a step back in shock.

Xue Chenjing turned his head to look at her, slowly loosening the fingers that were pinching his neck. Physiological tears oozed from the corners of his eyes. He opened his mouth and closed it again. He looked at her with an indescribable complex look, and said nothing. He jumped down from the broken wall, ran away quickly, and disappeared behind a tree.

Yu Yi looked puzzled and had given up analyzing Xue Chenjing's mental state.

She raised her hand and touched her ear, and the voice just now seemed to still echo in her ear.

He said his name was Xue Mingyuan? Could it be that the man just now was the young man in the temple in the mountain deep in Xue Chenjing's heart? The person who just helped her break the formation in the underground palace was him?

No wonder the feeling she had with Xue Chenjing was so different.

He could come out and control this body. What was going on between the two of them? Dual personalities? Or was it like she and the little bird demon before, two souls in one body for some reason?

If she thought about it this way, it would match the plot in "The Tide". In the plot of "The Tide", Xue Chenjing was indeed a gentle and considerate male second in the early stage, and only started to go crazy in the later stage.

She thought that the male second became the villain because he wanted it but couldn't get it, so they were two different personalities?

Yu Yi looked behind the tree where Xue Chenjing was hiding, but couldn't find him.

The magic circle under Xuandan Mountain was completely destroyed, including the soul-soothing circle.

All the past illusions of the ghostland disappeared, the palace collapsed, the ground cracked, the carved beams and painted buildings faded and became infested with insects after years of wind and rain, and the unbridled grass and vines covered all traces of the past.

This ghostland returned to reality overnight, and the demons scattered in the ghost city became confused, and finally woke up one after another.

It turned out that they were already dead, they had been dead for a long time.

Some were silent, some were hysterical, and some opened their arms happily, finally freed, letting their souls dissipate bit by bit, their soul fires falling like stars, falling into the underworld, waiting for the next reincarnation.

"Hahahahaha." The Xuandan Mountain Master raised her head and laughed. She supported her snow-white umbrella and tiptoed happily on a steep broken wall. The white light of her soul flew out from her skirt. "In the end, I killed so many monks to bury them with me. My Xuandan was worth it!"

She caught a glimpse of the figure standing behind the group of monsters. The eyes of the immortal king that were corroded by the monster poison regained their clarity, and his dark eyes looked at her across the soul light floating in the sky.

There was no resentment or unwillingness on his face, and even a hint of pity.

"Ji Hanyi!" Xuan Dan's residual soul twisted in pain.

It was this look again. She remembered this look, and she would never forget it until she died.

Xuan Dan, like the little bird demon, was fortunate to have received the kindness of the Immortal Lord. At that time, her cultivation was still shallow, and she was chased by the cultivators who hunted the wild. She was in a state of panic all day long. She was finally caught by a cultivator. The cultivator wanted to dig out her snake gall, but Ji Hanyi stood up and asked the man to let her go.

He said that she had no blood on her body, and was not an unforgivable demon, so she should not be the target of their hunting.

The other monks burst into laughter, saying that he was a fool who had gone mad because of his cultivation. They said, "She is a demon. Demons are evil by nature. Sooner or later, she will kill people, eat people, and be stained with blood debt."

Ji Hanyi fought with the monk, snatched her away and let her go, saying coldly, "If she has a blood debt, I will kill her myself."

When they met again, the owner of Xuandan Mountain was no longer the little snake that was at the mercy of others. She had killed people and was stained with blood. That day, Ji Hanyi pointed his sword at her with such a disappointed and pitiful look.

At that time, Xuandan suddenly understood that he was indeed a fool who had gone mad because of his cultivation, and he insisted on the so-called justice in his heart.

How could these demons, who were so sneaky and had their families destroyed and their families and homes destroyed by cultivators, and who had nowhere to go, always be clean and not kill people? Her father and mother, who once protected her, were dead. If she didn't kill people, she would have to let cultivators kill her and her brothers and sisters.

In that world, where could there be any kind demons who were not stained with blood?

The umbrella in the hands of the Xuandan Mountain Master suddenly changed into a snow-white curved bow. She drew the bow and put an arrow on it. The long arrow shot out and pierced Ji Hanyi's soul.

"If I am still a demon in my next life, you can kill me or behead me. Don't use your hypocritical words anymore, you are so evil."

Ji Han did not block the arrow. His soul collapsed under the arrow, and the clean and bright soul fire floated down and sank into the ground. The remaining soul of the master of Xuandan Mountain also disappeared cleanly, and the soul fire fell to the ground and disappeared into the ruins.

"Ayi."

Yu Yi turned her head and a little bird with a long five-colored tail flapped its wings and flew over, calling "Ayi Ayi" and circling around her. The soul of the little bird demon was dissipating, and the scattered soul light looked like her fallen feathers, or like ashes after burning.

Yu Yi reached out to catch it, but the soul light disappeared before it landed in her hand, like an extinguished firework.

"Ayi, being burned by fire really hurts." The little bird demon flew to her shoulder and stretched out its head to rub her cheek, "Ayi, thank you, if it weren't for you, I would have been burned many, many times."

"I don't want to be a bird in my next life, I want to be a fish and live in the water."

Yu Yi said, "Fish will be roasted too."

The little bird demon was choked by her fear, and Yu Yi chuckled, "Either you reincarnate into the deep sea and grow into a big fish that no one can catch and dares to catch you, like a Kun, then you won't be caught and roasted."

The little bird demon nodded desperately and said happily, "Okay, I'll listen to you , I will be reincarnated into the Kun you mentioned in my next life."

A spotted leopard cat emerged from the bushes, swiftly jumped over the broken walls, and came to the ruins of this wall. He turned into a human, squatted under the wall, looked up, and shouted: "Huai Li."

Huai Li rubbed Yu Yi's cheek again, and said sadly: "Ayi, I'm leaving."

Yu Yi touched her gently, "Okay."

Huai Li flew up from her shoulder. Her five-colored tail feathers had already fallen off. She flapped her broken wings and stumbled around Li Su. "Li Su, goodbye."

Li Su rushed over to hug her, but was afraid that his actions would make her soul dissipate faster. He could only hold the five-colored bird carefully, watching her beautiful soul flow away irreversibly, and cried in disarray: "Don't go, I know how to treat you well, don't go, Huai Li, I like you..."

He thought he had finally learned how to like her and how to treat her well, and they would definitely have a better future in the future. Who knew that they would have no future at all.

Until his death, he was still using his clumsy and stupid way to express his love, complacently treating her fear and fear as "special".

He was full of remorse, but God did not give him a chance to repent.

"I shouldn't have treated you like that, I shouldn't have scolded you, I shouldn't have bullied you, I shouldn't have..." Li Su choked up and couldn't continue.

Huai Li smiled, chirped like a bird, and gently held his fingertips with his beak, "I don't blame you, Li Su, you should remember, don't die for anyone in your next life."

The little bird demon closed his eyes in his palm, his three souls and seven spirits completely dissipated, and a cluster of soul fire as big as a fingertip fell from his palm. No matter how he held it or what he used to catch it, he couldn't stop the soul fire from falling.

Li Su watched her leave with disdainful eyes, crawling on the ground, unwillingly said: "If you don't blame me, why can't you stay for me? I just want you to see me, how can you be so cruel? How can you leave without any worries?"

"Where should I go to find you?"

The soul lights disappearing in the ghost town are getting scarcer, and the souls that should leave have left.

Yu Yi squatted on the wall and looked at the cat demon crawling on the ground and crying below, and asked: "Are you going to sit here all the time? Because you are unwilling to continue to turn into a ground-bound spirit and trap yourself here?" The cat demon

did not respond, but lowered his head and dug the ground, as if he was still unwilling to dig out the soul fire of the little bird demon.

"If you stay here all the time, you will never see her again." Yu Yi said, "She said she doesn't want to be a bird anymore. In her next life, she wants to be reborn in the sea and become the biggest fish that no one dares to mess with."

The cat demon finally stopped moving. After a long while, it let out a sad cry and its soul began to dissipate.

Yu Yi waited quietly for the cat's cry to stop and Li Su's soul fire to sink into the ground before she jumped down from the broken wall.

Three years in the ghost realm seemed like a dream. She had always been prepared in her heart that after breaking through the ghost realm, the little bird demon would leave.

But this was, after all, the first close friend she had made since she came to this world, with whom she ate and slept and spent so much time in the same body. After they separated like this, she couldn't help feeling lost.

Suddenly, a crane's cry came from under the fallen locust tree. Senior Brother He pushed aside the withered leaves and flowers on the tree and jumped out. When he saw Yu Yi, he spread his wings and flew towards her while calling.

"Senior Brother He, long time no see." Yu Yi hurriedly reached out to catch it. The loss in her heart was alleviated a lot because of seeing Senior Brother He.

The red-crowned crane finally reunited with his little junior sister. He spread his wings and hugged Yu Yi, and put his head on her shoulder and cried loudly.

In order to save her, Senior Brother He listened to Xue Chenjing's words and squatted on the locust tree and called.

However, not long after Xue Chenjing went in, the locust tree suddenly withered, which scared Brother He so much that he almost lost his soul, fearing that Yu Yi would never come out again and he would never see her sword spirit again.

Fortunately, he finally waited for her to come back.

Yu Yi touched the head of the red-crowned crane soothingly, took out the green bamboo sword and gave it to it to comfort its homesickness.

Brother He hugged the bamboo sword with his wings, and the crane's cry lasted for a long time, as if they had been separated for thousands of years. What an affectionate bird.

Brother He was halfway through expressing his love when he looked down and saw the cracks on the bamboo sword, and his cry stopped abruptly.

It raised its long beak in anger and pecked Yu Yi mercilessly, flapping its wings to glare at her with its small eyes, as if she was an eternal sinner who had ruined its wife.

Yu Yi looked back and forth guiltily, but she didn't dare to look into Senior Brother He's small eyes, "Ah, that..."

She laughed dryly and patted Senior Brother He on the back, "I'm now in the middle stage of the Golden Core, my cultivation has risen by one level, this sword couldn't bear my spiritual power for a while, so it cracked a little bit."

Senior Brother He roared, who cares about your cultivation? It only cares about its sword spirit.

Yu Yi patted her storage bag again and assured, "Don't worry, I stored hundreds of green bamboo swords in my storage bag before leaving the secret realm, and I also got a dozen high-quality spirit swords from the sword-suppressing stone. When we get to Yinzhou City, I will find a place to melt the spirit swords and re-temper the green bamboo swords, so that the sword spirits can live comfortably in my green bamboo swords."

Senior Brother He was satisfied and stopped trying to kill her with his long beak.

After the bird stopped chirping, Yu Yi heard the sound of the system coming from the ruins covered by vines. She followed the sound but did not find Xue Chenjing.

The system sighed and asked helplessly: "Master, what are you doing hiding here? You should go and comfort the heroine at this time and try to make her happy!"

Xue Chenjing sneered in his heart, which made the system shudder, "Master? Who is your master? Isn't your master Xue Mingyuan?"

System: "..." We are all family, why do we have to distinguish between you and me?

The system was silent for a moment and dinged.

[System: Ding-Congratulations to the host for successfully completing this temporary task. A total of 110 reward points have been obtained, which can be redeemed for a plot clue. Does the host want to redeem it now? Xue Chenjing frowned, "

How did the additional fifteen points come from?"

The system replied: "In order to save the host who was swept into the crack of the ground by the strong wind, the heroine held the host's waist when she brought you out of the crack of the ground, and thus received a fifteen-point reward."

Xue Chenjing looked through the lush vines and branches at the person hugging Senior Brother He not far away, and said sinisterly: "She didn't save me, but Xue Mingyuan."

If it were him, he thought, Yu Yi would just abandon him without hesitation and watch him fall coldly.

Why? Why can't I do it? They have only met twice and haven't even had a few good words. Why can Yu Yi trust him so easily? Why, why? Why can't I do it?

Xue Chenjing stared at her coldly through the gaps in the vines, opened his mouth and bit off the vine flowers hanging in front of him, grinding his teeth fiercely.

The fragrance of the plants and the sweetness of the nectar spread on the tip of his tongue, which was very similar to the scent on her body. She must have tasted it the same way.

Yu Yi was keenly aware of the strong gaze falling on her. She turned her head and looked towards the area submerged by vines.

The vines there had broad leaves that were stacked one on top of the other. Clusters of small white flowers bloomed among the green leaves, which were very lovely in the golden light of the morning sun.

The broken walls and wasteland below were all covered in spring.

She heard the system's voice and asked again, "Does the master want to voluntarily give up these fifteen points?"

Xue Chenjing licked the white petals stuck to his lips and watched Yu Yi's eyes wandering back and forth on the vines, but he was unable to find him.

"Give up? Are you kidding me?" At this moment, he no longer cared about you and me, and said righteously, "Now, immediately, redeem the plot clues."

[System: Ding - Redemption successful, points have been deducted. The clues come from the lotus pond under the Circular Mound, where there is something that the host has been looking for, and the object is related to the next stage of the subplot. ]

Xue Chenjing's face was gloomy, and the ground turbidity floated out from his sleeves, quickly wrapped around him, turned his body into mist, and flowed into the underground palace along the gullies on the ground.

But in a few breaths, his figure appeared on the collapsed circular mound in the underground palace of the Ji Family Ancestral Hall, and he jumped down to the deep ground crack in the middle without hesitation.

As he fell, Xue Chenjing asked with a sneer, "Will you also exchange this clue for Xue Mingyuan?"@無限好文，盡在晉江文學城

The system said weakly, "You are all my masters."

Xue Chenjing's laughter echoed in this deep crack in the ground, and he gritted his teeth and said, "A good horse does not have two saddles, and a good dog does not serve two masters. You are worse than a pig or a dog."

The system listened to his angry nonsense and felt innocent. To this system, you are not actually two masters.

On the circular mound of the underground palace, another figure fell here. Yu Yi looked down and could vaguely hear laughter coming from below. The sound echoed between the walls and had changed its tone when it reached her ears.

"So happy? What good thing is it?" Yu Yi thought, and then jumped down.

She couldn't get rid of Xue Chenjing, which meant that she couldn't escape those troublesome plots. Since she had a share of the credit for unlocking the plot, then of course she also got the fruit after unlocking the plot.

Unexpectedly, there is a secret space deep underground in this Circular Mound.

In order to maintain the magic circle on the Circular Mound, the Ji family grabbed the spiritual energy of the nearby mountains and rivers and set up a hidden spiritual eye here. Now that the Circular Mound has collapsed, the spiritual energy in the spiritual eye has flowed out and returned to this world.

But in this abandoned spiritual eye, there is also a pool, a pool full of lotus flowers.

A lotus in the pond had fallen petals and had withered. Four petals were still half-opened, and two buds had just sprouted.

The lotus floating on the water was crystal clear and white as jade, exactly the same as the lotus on the Circular Mound that wrapped the golden soul fire petal by petal and finally transformed it into the fetal origin.

Xue Chenjing pulled a petal from the half-opened lotus by the pond. As soon as the petal was separated, it immediately disappeared in his hand.

He leaned over and took a deep breath. A dazed look appeared on his face, and he murmured: "Chaos Yuanqi."

No wonder those old ghosts of the Ji family could not enter the cycle of reincarnation and directly transform into fetuses. These lotus flowers are the most critical things for the ancestors of the Ji family to be reborn through the Nine-Transformation Lotus Formation.

It was Yu Yi's bad luck that when they opened the Ji family ancestral hall, a lotus in the pond had just matured, which could enable a soul to be reborn through the Nine-transformation Lotus Formation. That's why she was dragged into the underground palace and almost became the mother body that gave birth to the Ji family's fetus.

Xue Chenjing had already guessed what was under the water. With a gloomy face, he stretched out his hand to tear all the lotus flowers in the pond clean, watching them dissipate into chaotic air. He probed

into the bottom of the water again, and after a while, he pulled something out from the bottom of the water.

As soon as his hand was raised out of the water, he suddenly felt a white shadow flash before his eyes, and the thing in his palm was suddenly taken away by something.

Xue Chenjing immediately raised his eyes, and numerous tentacles emerged from the air, chasing after the white shadow. However, when he saw the white shadow crash into someone's arms, the tentacles surging in the air stopped instantly.

Yu Yi hugged Senior Brother He, whose body had shrunk due to the talisman paper, and took out the thing that looked like a lotus root node from its mouth, "What is this?"

Xue Chenjing stood up from the pool, staring at her with his dark eyes, and asked, "Why did you come down?"

"I saw you come down, so I followed you down." Yu Yi stroked the lotus root node in her hand, looking back and forth with curiosity.

Xue Chenjing pursed her lips, her body was tense, and the invisible tentacles were stiff around her, shaking anxiously. His breathing was heavy, his pupils were trembling slightly, and he clenched and unclenched his five fingers several times before trying to restrain the violent impulse in his heart.

He whispered, "It's the coccyx, the baby's coccyx."

Yu Yi froze while stroking the lotus root node. She subconsciously wanted to throw the thing in her hand away, but finally held back and asked, "How do you know this is the baby's coccyx?"

The thing in her hand was delicate and moist, less than a finger's length, with four pieces put together, larger on top and smaller on the bottom, more like a piece of fine white jade.

@無限好文，盡在晉江文学城

Xue Chenjing stared at her, staring at the coccyx between her fingers, "Because it was cut from my body."

This bone was clean and pure, not tainted by the devil's breath, nor did it contain any divine power. It was the chaotic bone when they were first born.

Yu Yi lowered her eyes to look at the bone in her hand. Xue Chenjing had lied to her too many times, and there was not a word of truth in his mouth. She didn't believe what he said at all. But after he said that, she still felt like she was holding a hot potato when holding this bone.

Xue Chenjing slowly approached her, with a pleading look on his face, and asked: "Master, if you don't believe it, do you want to touch it? Touch it to see if I have a coccyx."
