Chapter 097 Rendezvous
Before Gui Yan killed Ji Linxue, she placed the video equipment in a corner of the bamboo forest and did not aim it at anyone, so the picture remained frozen for a long time in the swaying green of the bamboo forest.
Until the rustling of footsteps approached, someone said, "It looks like a video recording device. Palace Master, do you want to take it away?"
Yao Dang's voice sounded: "Let's take them together."
The video recording ends.
Yao Dang stared at Ji Weihang. She seemed to be in a daze and it took her a long time to move again. She lowered her head to adjust the equipment and play the memory crystal.
Inside is the memory of Yao Dang meeting Ji Kunling in the Zhengdao Temple, where Ji Kunling handed her a letter and asked her to stand idly by.
After the playback, Ji Weihang stuffed the two crystals into Kun Gan's bag and held out his hand to Yao Dang: "Letter."
Yao Dang threw the letter into her hands.
Ji Weihang confirmed that there were no signs that the letter had been opened, put it in his arms without saying a word, and turned away.
Yao Dang did not try to persuade her to stay. He just watched her leave quietly until her back disappeared from his sight, and he remained motionless.
After a while, Yun Ruisi stepped into the palace, "Palace Master, Grandma invites you to have a meal together...Palace Master?"
At the main peak of Yunlong Palace, the four consecutive sounds representing the palace master’s death lingered throughout the sphere of influence.
Leaving Yunlong Palace behind, Ji Weihang had returned to Pingyao Yaohua City and came to the outside of the city according to the mark left on Fu Xuan's body.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and there was no light outside the city. It was a hazy gray-black color. Looking ahead, a darker area could be seen in the distance. That was the "tree line" that separated the human and demon worlds.
In Yaohua City and the center of the "tree line", and even in all directions, there is yellow sand everywhere, which looks like a black sea.
Different from the naturally formed yellow sand near Myanmar Ying City, the yellow sand here is the "lifeless sand" that has lost its vitality during years of disputes between humans and demons.
No plants can survive here, and there are very few animals that can survive here.
The Pingyao area is mainly composed of unborn sand, so it is also called the "Unborn Desert".
In the lifeless desert, the days are scorching hot and the nights are bitterly cold like winter.
Apart from bounty hunters and adventure teams, few people would go out at this time.
Ji Weihang walked in the yellow sand blown by the rising night wind until the yellow sand hid the trace of Yaohua City. She stood still and transmitted her voice to the ground, "Xiaoxuan, I'm back."
The yellow sand rustled, and Fu Xuan, wearing a breathing mask, suddenly poked her head out from the sand. The two looked at each other, and Fu Xuan climbed up from the yellow sand. The sand and gravel slid off her body, silently filling the space where she was originally.
"Sister, what's the result?" Fu Xuan said. She did not take off her breathing mask, as inhaling too much Wusheng Sand is bad for the body.
"There are still some doubts that have not been answered." As he said that, Ji Weihang shared his memories with her.
After Fu Xuan accepted the memory, he immediately frowned and fell into thought.
"Where did they get the news that the Immortal Lord had turned into a demon? Even you, sister, don't know, right?
"What is the purpose of those demons? They don't seem to be too involved in the matter of exterminating the family. They are mainly there to cause trouble.
"Also, everyone's attitude is weird..."
Fu Xuan said after thinking.
"The Immortal Lord seemed to be forcing Wanqi Shuang to kill her. Without knowing the truth behind this matter, how could the Immortal Lord just 'surrender' like this? This would just mean losing his life in vain.
"—unless she knows the truth behind it.
"Why did Wanqi Shuang attack the headmistress? There was no reason. Why didn't the headmistress resist at all? It seemed that she did it just to put on a show for you, sister.
"——But if it's a show, do I need to really die?"
"Why did Sister Linxue ask Gui Yan to do it? If she had to die, she could have committed suicide. She had a good relationship with Gui Yan. She lied to Gui Yan and said she would not die, but she died in the end. Gui Yan must have had a psychological trauma.
“It’s hard to understand her motives.”
Ji Weihang said: "Based on my observation, Senior Sister Linxue must have seen Senior Sister asking Ying Feiqiong to kill her through the sect formation, and she thought of something and made this request."
But what came to mind?
This is a question that remains unanswered for the time being.
On-site review can obtain all the details of what happened at the scene, but it cannot dig out the thoughts in people's minds.
Skipping this topic, Fu Xuan compared the situation of Bixu Town with his own memories and felt something was wrong.
"Why did the demons target Bixu Town?"
After seeing the scene of his teenage self escaping, Ji Weihang also went back to see the situation in Bixu Town.
At the same time that demons appeared inside the Mingyan Sect, demons also appeared outside Bixu Town.
But they did not rush into action. Instead, they waited until they received news of the action from somewhere before taking action.
They came prepared, cooperated with the insiders, took advantage of the opportunity, quickly broke through the guards, sneaked into the town and started the massacre.
When the demons invaded, Fu Xuan was sick and bedridden in the inner room. Hearing the noise, she quickly hid under the bed, holding the amulet of fake death given by Ji Weihang in her arms.
The demon grabbed her out from under the bed and gave her a quick death.
She was already pale due to illness, and she lost her voice instantly after the blow. The demons did not expect that an ordinary child could have anything to protect herself from being discovered, so they just threw her back on the bed.
After clearing out the people in the town, they set fire to destroy the bodies.
The flames burned, the houses collapsed, and the effect of the amulet gradually disappeared. Fu Xuan woke up in the ruins and heard the demons talking outside. She quietly put the private money she took out from under the bed into the bag containing the amulet, which was a simple Kun Gan bag.
The amulet still had some protective power, preventing her from choking to death in the thick smoke. After the demon's voice faded away, Fu Xuan slowly crawled, luckily found an unburied wellhead, jumped in, and swam along the waterway into the Bixu River.
After taking a look at the area of Mingyan Sect where thick smoke was also rising, she went down the river and began to drift.
It can be seen that the demons had set Bixu Town as their target from the very beginning.
But they didn't seem to be targeting anyone in particular or looking for anything, just pure destruction.
Very strange.
"From beginning to end, it seems like a huge conspiracy." Fu Xuan did not lose his composure because of seeing his younger self, and said calmly, "There should be no more information from Yunlong Palace. It is difficult to communicate with Wanqi Shuang from Wanjian Sect."
"Next, let's test the demon side?"
She paused and asked Ji Weihang, "Sister, what do you think?"
Ji Weihang nodded in agreement.
This matter is obviously related to the demons.
Coincidentally, they now have two leads in their hands: Jiang Yan, the prince of the demon clan, and Ji Chengyuan, the prince of the devil clan.
After a brief discussion, they decided to dig the demon king out of the demon world first.
If she wanted to get information from Ji Chengyuan, she would definitely take the opportunity to ask to go to the Abyss Secret Realm, but now is not the time.
At this point, Fu Xuan mentioned something that he had forgotten to tell Wei Hang. "Sister, do you remember the handsome man in white clothes next to the Demon Emperor? The one who smashed the crystal?"
Of course Ji Weihang would never forget him, the guy who smashed her memory crystal.
She also remembered that Fu Xuan spoke well of him at that time.
Fu Xuan looked around and transmitted his voice: "I met him once fifty years ago. He is Wanqi Shuang's direct disciple, Bai Zhiyu's junior brother, and Bai Jiyue's senior brother."
It turned out to be him. Ji Weihang knew that Wanqi Shuang had taken in his benefactor's orphan as his apprentice fifty years ago, which sparked a heated discussion at the time.
Fifty years ago, Ji Weihang was busy traveling and adventuring, and he rarely returned to the sect. Even if Wanqi Shuang brought him out, she never met him. And she never saw him again after that.
I heard that he grew up on the border, and his entire family was killed by the demons when he was twelve. When Wanqi Shuang arrived, he was the only one who could save him.
The Wanjian Sect sent him to infiltrate the demon clan as a spy? That's right. He has already climbed to the position next to the Demon Emperor.
Then, the action of Wanjian Sect asking him to destroy the T crystal is worth pondering.
If the memory contained information about the master's wife's demonization, then it would obviously be unwise to destroy this important chess piece just to prevent her from seeing the memory.
Fu Xuan also thought of something strange. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he wants to maintain his image as an immortal?"
Maybe.
Or maybe there is other noteworthy information in Ying Feiqiong's memory that is very important to the Wanjian Sect and that they don't want her to know.
Let’s not discuss that for now.
Ji Weihang took out the letter that the master's wife had given to Yao Dang and opened it.
There was only one sentence written inside: [Year after year. ]
As she expected, this was a hint for her.
After stroking the handwriting on the letter, she put it away and said, "Let's go."
Fu Xuan didn't ask what was written on the letter, and hurried after him, "Should we go directly to the tree line? There should be border guards, and it would be bad if we were discovered."
"Let's go around it."
——
"My queen..." Fu Xuan sighed as he looked at everything in front of him, "She is indeed worthy of being my sister."
They were in a mysterious ancient land, which was the place where Ji Weihang had mistakenly entered when he was traveling.
Due to the special entry conditions here, she cannot tell others about the existence of this place, and when bringing people in, she must abide by three principles: no blood relationship, mutual trust, and women.
Hearing this principle, Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "I didn't expect my sister to trust me."
"Of course." Ji Weihang led her here and took a look at her short hair. "Did you cut it yourself?"
Entering the secret realm will force you to remove all disguises.
"Yes, I cut it because I felt it was inconvenient. It has nothing to do with my sister, so don't think too much about it." Fu Xuan touched his short hair and shook it left and right.
"Is it not neat enough? I trimmed it and it still looks like this... We don't have barbers like they do here, so we can only use scissors, which is inconvenient. It's also not safe if some hair falls out. Otherwise, I would like it to be shorter. After all, I've already cut it, so I might as well cut it all the way."
Ji Weihang paused and said, "After I pick up Jiang Yan, I'll help you shave."
Fu Xuan smiled, "Okay."
The ancient secret realm is the secret realm left behind by our ancestors - mostly referring to the monks in ancient times. It is a place with singing birds and fragrant flowers, and it maintains a pleasant spring state all year round. There are also some creatures that we don’t know whether they are real or fake, imaginary or imaginary.
Ji Weihang turned around and took her to a certain place in the blink of an eye. "You stay here while I go find Jiang Yan. Don't you want to consolidate your strength so that you can break through?"
She pointed to a formation not far away and said, "I achieved the Out-of-Body Experience right here. You can try it."
Fu Xuan blinked, "Okay. Thank you, sister."
Under Ji Weihang's instructions, she walked to the center of the formation and sat down.
"Just meditate normally, but be aware that it will be a bit uncomfortable." Ji Weihang said, "If you can't stand it, press the circular pattern on the right hand side to pause the formation."
Fu Xuan glanced at the round smiling face next to him and nodded.
Ji Weihang input spiritual power and activated the formation.
A spiritual light flashed, and an invisible barrier hemispherically covered the sky above the formation.
Fu Xuan closed his eyes and practiced.
Ji Weihang stayed outside and watched for a while. Although Fu Xuan looked painful, it was obviously within her tolerance.
Ji Weihang turned and left, looking for a breakthrough to the demon world.
After her figure disappeared, Fu Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, hurriedly pressed the smiley key to close the formation, and then flashed outside the formation and vomited.
She didn't vomit anything, but she still felt her stomach churning.
She took a few deep breaths, slowly calmed down, and smiled bitterly.
Breakthrough here? What a joke. It's good that she doesn't lose her Taoism here.
...but is it really not possible?
This was an opportunity she had fought for.
Obviously her sister trusted and helped her further.
——Although this was not her original intention, it was a good result.
She looked at the formation.
Try harder, maybe?
She sat down in the center of the formation again, took a deep breath, input spiritual power and activated the formation.
Countless memories came flooding back.
