Chapter 176: Two Souls in One
After finding Xiao Ling, under Ye Chen's instructions, Xiao Ling followed Ye Chen into the bamboo forest, and said as he walked: "It's really good that you have become a Five Spirits Xuantong so quickly, so it will be much easier for you to find your sister."
"Actually, I came here this time to tell you that I have found Xiaoyi," Ye Chen said with a smile.
"You've found her, is she okay?" asked Xiao Ling excitedly.
When Ye Chen heard this, he hesitated a little, is Xiaoyi's current state okay, but looking at Xiao Ling's excited appearance, Ye Chen smiled and said, "She... Very good. ”
"No, you lied to me!" Xiao Ling seemed to see some clues from Ye Chen's expression, and grabbed Ye Chen's collar and said.
Hey, Ye Chen sighed in his heart, sure enough, as long as he was involved in her problem, he couldn't be as calm as usual, even a young man like Xiaoling who had not yet entered the world could see it, if the master and Uncle Zhuang knew that I was like this, I am afraid they would be very disappointed...
"Answer me" Xiao Ling was a little angry.
"What kind of girl was Xiaoyi before?" Ye Chen asked.
"She's just an ordinary little girl, lively and cute, innocent, what's wrong with her!" Xiao Ling said inexplicably.
"She doesn't seem to be able to speak, and besides, her memory, along with her voice, has been sealed by some kind of power," Ye Chen said, but he didn't plan to tell Xiao Ling about the Nine Palaces Soul Transfer Technique.
"How could it be... Xiao Ling said in disbelief.
Ye Chen patted Xiao Ling's shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much about Xiao Ling, at least she is safe now, and besides, she is also a five-spirit Xuantong now" Yes, at least for the time being, Ye Chen sighed in his heart, and there was a deep light flashing in his eyes.
"Has Xiaoyi already become a Five Spirits Xuantong?" Xiao Ling muttered to himself, then raised his head, looked at Ye Chen seriously and said, "Promise me that before I become a Five Spirits Xuantong, you must protect her!"
"I said that I would protect her for the rest of my life" Ye Chen nodded heavily, and said equally seriously.
Xiao Ling Yechen and the two of them were strolling in the bamboo forest, they seemed to have something on their minds, and occasionally talked a few words.
"Ye Chen, thank you for coming over to tell me, but we can't go any further" Xiao Ling's mood gradually stabilized and said to Ye Chen.
"What's in front of here?" Ye Chen asked strangely.
"The front is where Mrs. Xiang usually lives, and it is the only place in Xiaoxiang Valley that you can't go," Xiao Ling said solemnly.
Hearing what Xiao Ling said, Ye Chen's eyes looked forward deeply, although it was still a bamboo forest, but if you looked closely, you would find that the bamboo here was not the same as the bamboo forest in front, the tears on the bamboo leaves seemed to be the legendary Xiangfei bamboo, and there was a strange power in the bamboo forest, which seemed to be some kind of maze, and the cold and treacherous atmosphere became more and more intense here.
Ye Chen squinted his eyes, knew it in his heart, and said to Xiao Ling, "Have you seen Mrs. Xiang?"
"Yes, I've seen her, it's the alchemy that Madame Xiang took us to learn" Xiao Ling nodded.
"What kind of woman is she?" Ye Chen asked.
"She is very beautiful and gentle with us, but there is always a strange feeling that I can't explain," Xiao Ling said with a frown.
"The alchemy of the water department you have learned, you should know that water is impermanent, Mrs. Xiang, this woman, is not a good stubble, you better be careful" Ye Chen admonished.
"Well, I know" Xiao Ling nodded, knowing that Ye Chen couldn't harm him, Ye Chen must have some reason for saying this, besides, Xiao Ling didn't have a good impression of the Yin and Yang family, so the two of them walked back.
"It's not a good child to say bad things about people behind your back" Just took two steps, but suddenly an ethereal female voice came from behind him.
Ye Chen Xiaoling's heart was shocked, and when she turned around, she saw a woman with a graceful posture and beautiful eyebrows walking out of the piece of Xiangfei bamboo, this woman's eyebrows always seemed to have a trace of resentment, only a bandeau on her upper body, a tie at the waist connected to the long fishtail skirt below, with half long sleeves, the whole body was dressed in lilac as the keynote, and the fragrant shoulders were half exposed, enchanting but elegant.
"Xiao Ling, a disciple of the water department, I have seen Mrs. Xiang," Xiao Ling hurriedly bowed down and said.
"It's you, what about you?" Mrs. Xiang recognized Xiao Ling, said casually, and looked at Ye Chen.
"Mube Wuling Xuantong, Ye Chen, I've seen Mrs. Xiang" Although Ye Chen was very surprised in his heart, this Mrs. Xiang could actually approach her without her noticing, there seemed to be something on her body that blocked the exploration of her divine sense, but her face was as usual, and she said neither humbly nor arrogantly,
"You are the male disciple of the wood department this year?Wuling Xuantong, you have only been here for two days, right?" Mrs. Xiang said as she looked at Ye Chen with interest.
Ye Chen was just about to answer, when he suddenly felt a sound of breaking the sky instantly, a seemingly ordinary drop of water flew towards Ye Chen's eyebrows, Ye Chen hurriedly used a leaf to dodge, and this seemingly ordinary drop of water flew straight back after passing through the pile of leaves, and it penetrated more than ten bamboos in a row before stopping.
Although it is not hurt to resist this blow with Ye Chen's current physical body, but the hole cards can not be exposed without being exposed, and as the five spirits of the wood department, even if this Xiang lady is not very mentally normal, she will not really kill her, with the alchemy of the wood department that she has learned in the past two days, it should be enough to deal with it, Ye Chen thought in his heart.
"It's a little interesting" Mrs. Xiang looked at Ye Chen with a shallow smile and said, and then asked Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, you should know what will happen if you break into the bamboo forest of Concubine Xiang." ”
"A capital offense, but we have not yet stepped into ... Xiao Ling gritted his teeth and said, but there was a creaking sound, and the Xiangfei bamboo forest in the middle actually moved by itself, enveloping Ye Chen and Xiao Ling in an instant, and the path behind him was suddenly covered by the bamboo forest, and there seemed to be no way out.
"Now you've stepped in," said Mrs. Xiang, still with that shallow smile.
"Paralyzed, fine patients, can't be provoked" Ye Chen thought in his heart, but said to Mrs. Xiang: "What does Madam want to do?"
"Oh, why don't you shoot me and kill you?" said Mrs. Xiang with a smile, walked to Ye Chen's side, bent down, and hooked Ye Chen's chin.
Ye Chen took a step back without a trace: "Madame, if the truth kills us, why bother with such efforts, besides, the Five Spirits Xuantong is not something that the elders can kill if they want to." ”
"Although you have just cast a leaf of obscurity, but there is still a lot of distance from the Five Spirits Xuantong, I naturally have to inspect the goods, if you can take my move, I will let you go," Mrs. Xiang said.
"Then come on," Ye Chen said with an expected expression.
"You seem to be very confident, and you really look like your husband back then." Mrs. Xiang smiled, but her eyes were very sad, between the words, she had already begun to launch an offensive against Ye Chen, a drop of water fell from Ye Chen's side, leaving a dark hole in the ground, and a few hundred meters above Ye Chen and Xiao Ling's heads, a rain cloud suddenly appeared, these water droplets are not ordinary water droplets, the mass is even much heavier than the same volume of metal, the resistance brought by the air is almost negligible, just by virtue of the natural acceleration of these hundreds of meters, it already has a huge lethality, and Xiao Ling couldn't dodge, and was splashed with a blood mist on the shoulder by a drop of raindrops。
Ye Chen scolded in his heart, and immediately reacted, and immediately came to Xiao Ling's side, one by one bamboo shoots rose from the ground, forming a cage, protecting Ye Chen and Xiao Ling inside, every time a bamboo shoot is destroyed, a new bamboo shoot will immediately grow, and it is more solid and thick than before, water can grow wood after all, this rain cloud of Mrs. Xiang, the ground is backward but it has become the nourishment of Ye Chen's alchemy, and if it is just such an offensive and defensive battle, even if you don't use the five elements to grow together, Ye Chen's roots are not worthy of Mrs. Xiang.
Although Ye Chen's Yin-Yang Technique is only at the level of alchemy, if he fights a war of attrition, Ye Chen can continuously transform his other internal forces to be used as Yin-Yang Techniques, and this Mrs. Xiang can play as much as she likes.
"Xiao Ling, it's okay" Ye Chen looked at Xiao Ling's shoulder, where there was a deep blood hole.
"It's nothing" Xiao Ling gritted his teeth and said, this injury Xiao Ling would not have been able to heal it for too long if he relied on Taoist Qi Practice, but now it can't be used easily, and Xiao Ling has to endure the pain.
"Fortunately, Mubu also has a few good healing alchemy" Ye Chen smiled, and lightly touched Xiao Ling's shoulder, and a small pale white flower suddenly grew in the blood hole on Xiao Ling's shoulder, Xiao Ling only felt a little itchy on his shoulder, and then, the little flower fell off on its own, but the blood hole on Xiao Ling's shoulder had healed as before, I have to say that these spells of the Yin and Yang family are also wonderful.
"Thank you," Xiao Ling said to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you talking about?"
As soon as Ye Chen's words fell, he suddenly felt the pressure outside the bamboo shoots loosen, and the breath outside suddenly became cold and biting, completely different from the water droplets in between, although it was said that water was impermanent, but such a change was too much, right?
After removing the bamboo shoots suspiciously, Ye Chen looked at Mrs. Xiang fixedly, her appearance was still the same, although the cold feeling only appeared for a moment and then dissipated, but Ye Chen clearly felt that she had changed someone.
Ye Chen guessed suspiciously, but immediately felt that something was wrong, the personality can be changed, but the breath will not lie, although it only appeared for a moment, but Ye Chen knew that it was not an illusion, what was wrong with this woman? Ye Chen thought, his eyes slightly revealing a trace of purple.
In Ye Chen's eyes, Mrs. Xiang's figure was distorted for a while, and she saw that Mrs. Xiang in front of her was divided into two, turning into two identical illusory figures, Ye Chen quietly retreated from the purple meaning in his eyes, and his heart was slightly shocked.
It turns out that this Mrs. Xiang is not a fine division, but a double soul!
