Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Fifth Part of the Legendary Fang Family
"By the way, what about Bai Hua's spirit?" Bai Xiu asked.
"His vitality ......," Fang Xin patted the pocket on his waist and said, "I have put it in the spirit rune for the time being." This is the place to listen to the soul, and I am afraid that he will wander outside and something will happen. β
Bai Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of another thing, and suddenly felt strange.
Although the spiritual power stirring caused by the collapse of the space was very dangerous, both he and Fang Xin could escape, and with the strength of the ghost girl Si Yin, I am afraid it would not be a difficult task.
But they have been delayed for so long in Huangquan Biluo, and she hasn't even chased after her, is she just afraid of the power of the Demon Breaking Blade?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and immediately said, "Now that the white tree has been found, let's get out of here quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." β
Fang Xin nodded, and then said with some concern: "I don't know what time it is outside, I hope it hasn't dawned yet." But you're right, it's really not a good place to stay for long, so let's go. β
With that, she stood up and went to pick up the baggage on the side.
Bai Xiu couldn't help but get up, but as soon as he stood firmly, he felt dizzy, and it seemed that the injuries on his body were even more serious than he expected.
He sighed secretly, only hoping that he could hold on until he left the Land of Listening to Souls, and that he would not drag Fang Xin down on the way.
Fang Xin tied the burden around his waist, and when he looked up, he saw that his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his heart was lifted again.
Afraid that she would be worried, Bai Xiu looked at it and asked curiously, "I don't seem to have seen this package before, what is in it?"
Fang Xin's attention was really diverted, she smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I almost forgot to tell you another thing. β
As she spoke, she took something out of her pocket and handed it to him.
Bai Xiu felt strange in her heart, and hurriedly reached out to take it.
It may seem like an iron card, but it's clear that it's no ordinary iron card.
Just like the Bai family's common jade talisman, other families and sects also have their own things that indicate their membership, even if they are casual cultivators, as long as he has registered with the special events team.
They collectively refer to them as identity inscriptions.
And this iron inscription doesn't look like it's ordinary, it's obviously something that only a big family can have.
He looked at Fang Xin suspiciously, only to see her take out her identity talisman.
When he saw the shape of her inscription, he was a little surprisedβit was exactly the same as the one he had in his hand.
Bai Xiu's heart moved, and he raised the inscription in his hand to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, a square character written on the front of it was carved.
"The front side of the Fang family's 'shadow character' is our family's surname, and the reverse side is engraved with the bearer's name and lineage. Fang Xin put away his identity talisman and said with a sigh.
Bai Xiu turned over the inscription and saw that there was indeed a line of words engraved on it.
He read slowly: "The thirty-seventh generation disciple of the Phantom Department...... Fang Chengying......"
"Fang Chengying?!" Thinking of this, he said in disbelief, "Could it be that he is ......?"
Fang Xin didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling, and said, "That's right, he is my father-in-law's own brother, and this shadow character ...... I just found it on that monster. β
"In other words, the demon fighting demon of the ghost girl Si Yin is your uncle?" Bai Xiu muttered.
Fang Xin smiled bitterly: "Alas, although I have been reminded by you before, I have realized the resonance between our spirits, and I am ready for him to be my clan, but I didn't expect him to be my uncle......"
Bai Xiu faintly felt that something was wrong, and frowned: "But as far as I know, didn't Fang Chengying's predecessor pass away twenty years ago?"
If his soul was captured by the ghost maiden, it would be reasonable, but that fighting demon was obviously not in a soul state, how could it be ......?"
Fang Xin didn't have an answer in his heart, and said: "I don't know how he came back from the dead, and why he fell here, maybe there is something else hidden in the accident twenty years ago."
It's just that he is now dead, and it may be quite difficult for us to find out the truth, so I will tell my father-in-law about it first.
Even if he becomes like this, he is still a disciple of our Fang family after all. In any case, I will also bring his body back.
So I cremated his bones with a fire spirit talisman, and this bag contained his ashes. β
Bai Xiu returned the shadow character to her, and she inevitably felt a little sorry in her heart.
Fang Xin naturally knew what he was thinking, and suddenly said, "Uncle, he definitely doesn't want to become like this, let's ...... Let's help him finish it early, which can be regarded as a little filial piety as a junior. β
Bai Xiu smiled and didn't speak, and the two walked towards Huangquan Biluo with their heads bored.
Like the previous two spaces, the real Yellow Springs and the Land of Listening to Souls are also connected by a river that spirals down.
The difference is that there are bluestone roads on both sides of the river bank that can be walked, which are somewhat similar to the roads used by the outside world to enter the land of listening souls.
Soon, the two of them set foot on the bluestone path.
On the left is the water in the secluded river, and on the right is the flowers of the mountains, if it is not for the wrong atmosphere, it is really a pleasant scenery here.
Fang Xin secretly glanced at Bai Xiu, and saw that he was just walking with his head down, and he felt slightly lost in his heart, so he had to look away and continue to enjoy the scenery on both sides.
She couldn't help but think in her heart, it would be a pity to put such a beautiful place in the place of listening to the soul, if it was......
"Ah Xin, speaking of which, I don't know which part of the Fang family you are?" Probably sensing that the atmosphere was a little dull, Bai Xiu finally asked.
Fang Xin turned his head and replied, "I am a disciple of the Instrument Department, and our Instrument Department specializes in secret weapons all the way. β
Bai Xiu couldn't help but suddenly, and secretly thought, no wonder the aunt in her mouth wanted to give her this heart-killing mandarin duck flag as a weapon.
Fang Xin continued: "Our Fang family has a total of four departments, in addition to the weapon department, there is also the illusion department that specializes in illusion and illusion array, the line department that specializes in concealment and tracking, and the art department that mainly cultivates shadow arts.
But once I heard an elder say that there is a shadow department in addition to the four. But then I asked the others, and none of them had seen it, so it was probably just a story of old people trying to coax children. β
She couldn't help but smile as she spoke, and naturally remembered a lot of past events.
She said with some emotion: "Actually, I would have become a disciple of the side branch of the Phantom Division, but after my mother died, I was adopted by my father-in-law and transferred to the Instrument Department.
It's also a loss like this, otherwise with my talent, I am afraid that I will not achieve anything in cultivating the Illusion Shadow Technique. β
Bai Xiu's heart moved, and she couldn't help asking, "Is your aunt also from the Phantom Department?"
"Auntie, she ......" Fang Xin was about to answer, but he immediately realized something and shook his head again.
She looked a little unnatural and said, "I don't know. She's always been a shucky person, rarely interacting with people, and doesn't like to talk about her past, so I didn't ask her.
She was my mother's best friend, and she entrusted me to her before she died. She has been the best person for me for over a decade. β
Hearing her say this, Bai Xiu couldn't tell for a while whether she was lost, pity, or sympathy in her heart.
Feeling frustrated that she has always been unwilling to reveal her identity as an aunt to herself;
pity for her lonely childhood;
As for the sympathy, it is because he has also relied on his two brothers and aunt since he was a child.
Afraid that she would perceive the temptation in her words, Bai Xiu asked, "What about your father?"
Fang Xin shook his head, then lowered his head and smiled, "I don't have a father, my mother gave birth to me out of wedlock." β
Bai Xiu was stunned, realizing that she had asked the wrong question, and she didn't know how to answer her words for a while.
Fang Xin said indifferently: "Actually, it's nothing, it's enough for me to have a mother and aunt, and my father-in-law and eldest sister are also very good to me...... Otherwise, there is Bai Xiu. Besides my family, you are the most important person to me. β
Hearing this last sentence, Bai Xiu's originally calm heart gradually set off waves.
He suddenly felt that it didn't matter what Fang Xin was hiding from him, she was really treating him well anyway.
While speaking, the two of them had already walked out of the basin where Huangquan Biluo was located.
In front of them was a sea of blood-colored flowers, boundless flowers blooming wantonly, and the full moon that had faded on the horizon was also dyed with a layer of crimson.
Fang Xinxi said: "Bai Xiu, your guess is not wrong at all, we have been inside for so long, and it has only been a short time outside!"
Bai Xiu nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, with his current state, it was still possible to go to the Ghost King Si Ming to find out the news of his parents.
Not to mention anything else, if that Zhong deliberately made it difficult, he was afraid that there was no way at all.
He was hesitating whether to discuss with Fang Xin, she had already pursed her lips, and said with some embarrassment: "Bai Xiu, there should be a fork in the road ahead, go east to the gate of the Land of Listening to Souls, and go north to the Ghost King City......
I know that we should leave the Land of Listening Souls as soon as possible, but I promised Sister Su Nuo to go there to find her, so can you accompany me there......
Bai Xiu smiled dumbly, but the two of them coincided.
He said, "It's okay, I'm also planning to explore the Ghost King City." β
Fang Xin suddenly remembered Bai Che's previous words, and asked tentatively, "Bai Xiu, are you going to inquire about the whereabouts of your parents?"
Bai Xiu knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he simply told her what happened outside the ghost gate at that time.
Fang Xin didn't say anything when he heard this, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.
Bai Xiu's injury is not optimistic, even if there will be no danger in going to Ghost King City, but if there is a slight accident, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to protect him alone.
But half of the purpose of his coming to the Land of Listening Souls was to inquire about the whereabouts of his parents, and he would never give up this opportunity easily, how could she persuade him......
Fang Xin thought about it, but he didn't know that Bai Xiu had already seen her thoughts.
He laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'll do what I can." And anyway, we still have to bring back the white tree first.
Actually, I didn't have much hope when I came to the Land of Listening Souls this time, and if I really didn't have a chance, I'll think of other ways. β
Hearing him say this, Fang Xin's heart calmed down a little, and he also smiled: "Then let's go to Ghost King City now." β
The two walked for some distance, and sure enough, there was a fork in the road ahead.
One of the roads goes upriver along the river, and the other leads across the river to the depths of the sea of flowers, which is exactly where the Oni King Castle is located.
