The ghost who was dragging Du Ruo got anxious and grabbed her hand, dragging her under the water. Du Ruo's soul was dragged like this, and sank a long way.
She cried loudly to the people who pushed aside the trees and rushed here, "Grandma, Grandma, Ruo Ruo is here--"
The cold water of the pond flooded over her chin and drowned her voice.
This mountain pond is on the shady side, surrounded by lush trees that blocked the sky and sun, and there was a huge rock on the top, almost blocking the sky. The water was extremely dark.
This kind of waterway that has not seen light for many years is gloomy. The yin energy spread from the bottom of the pond and turned into countless miserable white hands, pulling Du Ruo down. In just a blink of an eye, her soul was covered by the ghostly hands that climbed up and dragged into the water.
"Ruoruo!" Du's mother jumped to the edge of the pool and reached out to rescue her. Yu Yi hurriedly stopped her. In this kind of evil water, she must not save Du Ruoruo before her soul is pulled down again.
When she stopped Du's mother and looked at the pool again, she saw a dark red robe with gold patterns thrown over her head. A neat figure appeared behind the red robe, and jumped into the water.
Yu Yi caught the outer robe that was wet by the water, took two steps to the edge of the pool, and shouted, "Ah Qiu."
Xue Chenjing poked his wet head out of the water, He shook off the water droplets on his hair, raised his eyes and said to her: "The road below is open, don't come down, I will bring her back."
Yu Yi was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, be careful."
Xue Chenjing's face, which was half submerged in the water, suddenly emerged again. He honestly spit out the thoughts that came to his mind at this moment, and said in surprise: "Are you worried about me? Are you worried about me? It's me, Xue Chenjing, not anyone else."
Yu Yi didn't expect that her casual "be careful" would be met with such a surprised question. She was a little confused by the question and frowned and said: "Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me?"
Xue Chenjing wanted to say "no", but his mouth once again said honestly: "A little bit."
Otherwise, why would his favorability towards him be so little! Moreover, Xue Mingyuan also had a share in it.
Seeing the surprised expression on Yu Yi's face, Xue Chenjing pursed his lips in annoyance, dived into the water, and shouted viciously in his heart: "System! Isn't the truth mode turned off? What the hell did you turn off? You want to die, right?"
The system quickly leaned over the task tree to check, and explained: "Master, the condition for turning off the truth is that the heroine is willing to say "I believe you". The answer you get by forcing her like that will be judged as not passed by the system."
Xue Chenjing was furious, "Shit, I will kill you sooner or later."
System: "..."
Yu Yi stood by the water in a daze, so what he said just now was his truth.
The surface area of the pool is not large, but the water is very deep. No light can enter, and the water is as dark as a deep cave. Xue Chenjing's figure sank into the water, and he quickly disappeared as if he was swallowed by the deep pool.
The waves in the pool became smaller and smaller, and finally calmed down completely, so quiet that it seemed as if nothing had happened.
Yu Yi used her spiritual power to dry his clothes, then rolled him into a ball and hugged him in her arms, staring at the bottom of the pool with a frown, listening to Du's mother crying and calling Du Ruo's name intermittently.
More than half an hour passed, and the pool was still motionless.
"Is the bottom of the water so deep? Could Xue Chenjing really have chased me into the underworld?" Yu Yi thought in a mess, and from standing to squatting, he stretched out his hand to tentatively touch the water in the pool.
A chill immediately penetrated her veins through her fingertips, causing her to shiver.
Du's mother had cried herself dry and her voice was hoarse, and she sat paralyzed under a bush five steps away from the pond.
She no longer believed that Du Ruo's soul could be retrieved. With only the last bit of hope left in her eyes, she asked, "Miss, Ruo Ruo has only been crying more fiercely and becoming a little dull recently. If, if these souls were really lost, she wouldn't..."
Yu Yi glanced over and blocked Du's mother's unfinished words with a cold look, saying, "Children who lose one soul are easily frightened and entangled by demons and ghosts, not to mention that Du Ruo lost one soul and two spirits. She just cried and became a little dull before because the lost one soul and two spirits were in her mother's belly, and the Moon Goddess's magic power maintained the relationship between them."
"Now, if her soul and spirit can't be found, you can prepare for her funeral."
The last bit of hope in Du's mother's eyes was shattered, and she collapsed to the ground completely.
Time passed slowly beside this mountain pond, making people anxious.
After another half an hour, there was finally movement under the water. A faint light emerged from the water. After leaving the water, it turned into a bubble with a diameter of the mouth of a bowl.
The bubble was wrapped with golden spiritual lines, and inside was Du Ruo's curled up soul. Her soul was corroded by the Yin Qi, and her body was covered with mottled wounds. If it weren't for this bubble, I'm afraid her soul would have been gone long ago.
Du's mother sat up from the ground and said in surprise: "Is it Ruoruo? Did you find Ruoruo?"
Yu Yi reached out and carefully lifted the bubble into her arms, and cast her eyes to the bottom of the water again.
But only the bubble emerged from the water, and it fell into silence again, with no trace of Xue Chenjing. Du Ruoruo's soul in the bubble was already very weak, and it must be sent back to her body as soon as possible. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
Yu Yi looked back and forth at the little girl in the bubble and the pool, and waited for a while, but still saw no movement under the water. Under the urging of Du's mother, she finally bit her lower lip and retreated from the edge of the pool.
She waved her hand to hang the dried robe on the branch next to her, removed the seal on Senior Brother He, and carried Du's mother to sit on the fairy crane.
The red-crowned crane leaped out of the dense forest with Du's mother's scream of shock, and flapped its wings to fly towards Fengsheng County.
With Senior Brother He's speed, it would take no more than half a minute to go from here to Fengsheng County City, and adding the time to return Du Ruo's soul to her body, she could return to the pool in a quarter of an hour.
At the foot of the mountain, He Yungeng and Wen Li also tracked here. They found this place with the soul-chasing technique, but suddenly lost their direction and were searching in the mountains.
The two heard a noise above their heads and looked up at the sky, only to see the silhouette of a fairy crane flying rapidly towards the county city.
The broken soul guide suddenly became effective again, pointing in the direction of the fairy crane.
"Du Ruo's soul is on the back of the fairy crane." He Yungeng said.
Du Qian followed behind breathlessly. After hearing his words, he asked excitedly, "Have the two immortals found my daughter's soul?"
Wen Li pointed to the silhouette of a fairy crane in the sky. "Your daughter is in the sky." He circled his eyes and looked around with his spiritual vision. "I must have seen this fairy crane in the virtual world. The female cultivator sitting on the fairy crane, could she be the demon-breeding person that Qu Shen mentioned?"
The shadow of the crane was getting smaller and smaller. Wen Li blinked his sore eyes and turned to ask, "Brother, do you want to send a message to Elder Yi?"
He Yun nodded. As soon as Wen Li sent out the communication talisman, the talisman light hit the figure that appeared in the void. Yi Heng appeared not far away, holding the communication talisman between his raised fingers.
He glanced at the information in the talisman, smiled and nodded: "The news is very timely, I received it."
He Yungeng, Wen Li: "..."
Yi Heng gestured in the direction of Fengsheng County and said: "You go and see, if the female cultivator wants to come back, try to delay her." He paused and reminded them, "By the way, be friendly and don't conflict with her."
Although the two of them didn't understand what was going on, they had to accept the elder's order and immediately took Du Qian back to the county.
After the two of them left, Yi Heng turned around and walked into the mountains. A compass-shaped magic weapon flew out from his palm, and dense spiritual lines flew out from the magic plate, sticking to the grass, trees and rocks on all sides like a spider web.
As Yi Heng walked past, the surrounding vegetation, rocks and mountains changed their shapes and directions under the guidance of the spiritual line. Even the landforms became unrecognizable. The overlapping branches and vines covered all traces in the mountains, making it impossible to tell the direction.
A fairy crane flew over Fengsheng County and landed directly in the Du family courtyard.
In the Du family courtyard, Granny Li was arguing with Du's father. Granny Li learned the truth from the monks of Xiaoyao Sect and knew who was responsible for her daughter's suffering. She was very wary of Du's father. She guarded the door of the main house and prevented him from going in to see Zhao Zhi and Du Ruo.
Du's father was cursing in the yard, blaming Zhao Zhi for her unsatisfactory pregnancy.
"We are doing all this for the good of the two children. After she gave birth to Du Ruo, she hasn't been pregnant for so many years. If Du Ruo is a boy, it would be fine. He can take care of them when he grows up." He became more righteous and confident when he said this, pointing to the wood piled in the yard, "But if Du Ruo is a girl , she can't inherit my and Du Qian's craft
. When she gets married, how will they live when they are old?" Granny Li stood at the door, unmoved, "I am an old woman with only this one daughter, and I am living a good life. If Du Ruo can't learn carpentry skills, she can still learn spinning and sewing from her mother. Does that mean all the people in the world who don't give birth to sons will die?"
A huge fairy crane landed in the yard, interrupting their quarrel and scaring them both.
When Granny Li saw Yu Yi on the back of the fairy crane, her wrinkled brows relaxed and she said in disbelief, "Little Yu."
Yu Yi flew down from the back of the fairy crane, "Granny, I brought back Du Ruo's soul, where is she?"
Granny Li glanced into her arms, tears of gratitude in her eyes, and immediately moved away, "Inside the house, come in quickly."
Yu Yi went in holding the bubble of air, and Du's mother also slid down from the back of the fairy crane. As soon as she landed, she sat on the ground with weak legs, unable to walk.
Father Du saw it and glanced at the red-crowned crane cautiously. After it left, he went over to help Mother Du up and asked in a low voice, "Did you really find Ruoruo's soul back?"
Mother Du nodded, "Yes." Father
Du stretched his neck to look into the main room, sighed and said, "It's good to find it, it's good to find it."
It's better than losing everything.
In front of the main room, Senior Brother Crane was lying on the doorway looking inside, his huge wings blocking the door.
Inside the room, Zhao Zhi and Du Ruor slept together, the bedding had been changed, and the bloody smell in the room had dissipated a lot. After Zhao Zhi had a miscarriage, she drank a soup to stop bleeding and replenish qi, and her complexion was better than when she was pregnant. @無限好文,盡在晉江文学城
Du Ruo lay quietly beside her mother, never waking up.
Yu Yi walked to the bedside, but before she got close to Du Ruo, the air bubble in her arms floated up and hung above Du Ruo. The spiritual line on the air bubble spread out, entangled Du Ruo's lost soul and spirit, and led it to infiltrate the body.
When the soul and spirit returned to their place, the spiritual line was pulled away, forming a seal in mid-air, falling to Du Ruo's forehead, condensing into a cinnabar mole the size of a mung bean.
"Soul-fixing seal?" Yu Yi reached into the storage bag, took out a talisman book and quickly flipped through the pages. After carefully confirming that this talisman was indeed the Soul-fixing Seal, he took the talisman book back with confidence and said to Granny Li, "Du Ruo's soul is a little damaged. I'm afraid she needs to be taken care of for three to five years before she can recover. When her soul is stable, the mole between her eyebrows will disappear."
Granny Li raised her sleeves to wipe her tears and thanked her vigorously.
Yu Yi smiled and shook her head, "Du Ruo was rescued by the guy who ate a large bowl of your fish. This talisman is also his."
Granny Li widened her eyes and looked around, "He's back too? Why didn't he come with us? Granny will cook fish for you again."
Xue Chenjing probably had forgotten Granny Li. When he came to the Du family that day, he didn't see any reaction from him. Yu Yi declined and said, "I have to go back to find him, so I won't say more to Grandma. I hope you guys take care of yourselves."
Grandma Li couldn't keep her and had to send her out of the house.
As soon as Yu Yi walked out of the house, she heard Senior Brother He screaming and spreading his wings to chase the two people from the Du family yard to the outside of the yard. The two people were pecked and screamed, but they couldn't really draw their swords against each other, so they could only use the hilts of their swords to block the sharp bird beaks.
These two people were He Yungeng and Wen Li.
On the way back, they had been discussing how to keep the person and delay time in a friendly and non-confrontational way. After thinking about it, they finally decided to kidnap her mount first.
The two rushed back to the Du family, and while Yu Yi entered the main house to revive, they attacked Xianhe at the same time.
But they never dreamed that this was not an ordinary fairy crane, but a fairy crane that knew swordsmanship.
Brother He had practiced hard to be worthy of the sword spirit when he followed Taoist Qingxuan. Later, he accompanied Yu Yi to practice swordsmanship in the bamboo forest secret realm for five years. His beak was as sharp as a sword blade, his neck spirit was as lively as a human wrist, and his swordsmanship was pure and pure, not inferior to a serious swordsman. As a result of
this delay, the owner of the fairy crane chased outside the courtyard. Yu Yi flashed to join the battle, and cooperated with Brother He tacitly. He swept the two away with a sword and stared at them with full vigilance.
Wen Li hurriedly said, "Miss, don't misunderstand us. We have no bad intentions. We just saw such a beautiful fairy crane and wanted to touch it." Senior
Brother He called out repeatedly, and attacked it from behind as soon as he came, grabbing its wings and trying to tie it up with a binding spell. Is this called touching?
Yu Yi frowned, and the other party was still talking nonstop, "In fact, we are also looking for the soul for Du Ruo. When we saw the girl found the soul halfway, we followed back to see. We are all in the same boat..." Yu
Yi was too lazy to listen to his long-winded chatter, so she jumped on the back of the red-crowned crane and said, "Senior Brother He, let's go."
The fairy crane flapped its wings and flew up into the sky. The two hurriedly chased after it. Wen Li shouted, "Hey, why don't you listen to what others say."
He Yungeng had not spoken until this moment when he snorted, "Your mouth doesn't seem to please the lady."
Wen Li: "..."
The fairy crane not only had good swordsmanship, but also flew incredibly fast. The two swordmen could not catch up with it. He Yungeng was jealous and said thoughtfully, "When we return to Xiaoyao Sect, I will suggest to the Sect Master that the fairy cranes in our sect also learn swordsmanship."
Wen Li said helplessly, "Brother, we can't stop her. You should think about how to explain to Elder Yi first."
The hillside was not far from Fengsheng County City, and they arrived in a moment. The fairy crane flew over the forest. Yu Yi looked down from the top and wandered around the mountains and fields on all sides, but couldn't find the forest he had entered before.
"What's going on?" Yu Yi drove Senior Brother He to circle the surrounding mountains and forests again, "Why has the terrain changed here?"
@無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
She returned to the official road, wanting to locate along the official road and walk again in the previous direction, but once she stepped out of the official road and walked into the forest, the surrounding terrain would change. She tried several times, and each time she walked out of the official road from the same place, the scene she saw was different each time.
Someone has set up a formation here.
The deep pool in the mountains, the water that had been calm for a long time finally became turbulent again, and a figure emerged from the water. His hands, which were soaked in the water until they turned pale, stretched out the water, grabbed a rock by the water, and used the force to flip his heavy body onto the shore.
Xue Chenjing walked the road of the underworld as a living person, and the cold air was emitting from the seams of his bones. After he climbed ashore, ice shells were falling from his lapels, and a layer of frost formed on his hair.
He was a chaotic body, and his soul could not enter reincarnation. It was so difficult for him to crawl back. If it were her, she would have been lured into the underworld long ago.
Fortunately, she was not allowed to jump in.
There was no one by the pool, and Yu Yi was not there. He had guessed that after sending the little girl's soul back, Yu Yi would go back to send her soul back into her body first. Although he guessed it, he still felt a little disappointed when he didn't see her after coming out of the water.
The system sent warmth at the right time: "Master, are you okay?"
Xue Chenjing's teeth were chattering with cold, and he said in a vicious tone: "Don't you have eyes? Do you think I look okay like this?"
System: "..." To be precise, it really didn't have eyes. The system swallowed its anger and said, "Master, you are already lacking fire in your body, and you are also infected with coldness, so you will feel a little uncomfortable."
Xue Chenjing was shivering with cold, and his breath was cold. Even though he was rational and clear, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart: "Damn it, why is she not here? She didn't wait for me, she should have waited for me by the pond with clothes in her arms! Is the little girl's soul more important than me?"
He choked in his nose, and his mouth was uncontrollable, and he asked himself and answered: "Yes, the little girl is more important than me, and Senior Brother He is more important than me. In her heart, everyone is more important than me."
System: "..." The host, blessed by the truth, was so resentful that even the system was surprised.
Xue Chenjing looked straight at the dark branches above his head, and the frost on his eyelashes cast a layer of shadow in his vision.
He counted the time that passed slowly, and lay on the ground for half a minute. During this half a minute, Yu Yi had not come back.
Did it take so long? Did it take so long for her to come back to life?
Xue Chenjing suddenly thought of something, and sat up abruptly. The icy shell on his body made a crisp sound and fell to the ground. He said in a trembling voice: "She won't leave me and run away again, right?"
