Conquering the guardian spirit requires blood as a medium, and it is impossible to do this in the consciousness world, and in order to subdue this suspected high-level demon spirit whose body is unknown, it is necessary to release her back into the real world.

However, Li Mengnan searched the entire cube space, and did not find the soul locking array that sealed the remnant soul of the demon spirit.

Even he was a little stunned, he didn't hold part of the other party's remnant soul, how did he seal this seemingly high-level big demon spirit here? It's completely unscientific......

Since there was no remnant soul as a means of counterbalance, Li Mengnan did not dare to rashly release such a big demon spirit with an unknown body out of the consciousness cage.

Don't look at the other party now seems to be a pitiful appearance of a weak girl, God knows how long she has been locked up in this crazy empty place, how much resentment has accumulated in her heart, once she is recklessly released, the scourge of the world is still small, and the first one to kill is herself.

Li Mengnan thought about it seriously for a while, and decided not to take this risk, with his current illusion level, it was not enough to suppress the demon spirits above level E.

Of course, he wanted to know what was in the memory he had lost, but compared to his life, a memory that had long passed was not too important.

The long-haired girl sitting in the middle of the iron cage closed her eyes at some point, as if she had fallen asleep quietly.

Li Mengnan didn't care about her anymore, his consciousness returned to real time, and placed the wisp of the remnant soul of the white-clothed Suzuhiko Ji that was originally sealed in the spirit sealing card into the soul locking array that had just been constructed in the phantom prison, and then transferred the body of the white-clothed Suzuhiko Ji in.

Regarding the change in the "living environment", the white-clothed Suzuhiko Hime, who looked like a kimono loli, did not show any discomfort, and after entering the phantom prison, he knelt quietly in place.

"Oh? It's actually this white-clothed Suzuhiko? ”

A faint voice came from behind Li Mengnan, probably sensing that there was a new "neighbor", and the long-haired girl opened her eyes again.

"You know her, too?" Li Mengnan said unexpectedly.

"The last time I saw her, it seemed like it was decades ago, and it was a miracle that such a weak guy hadn't died yet...... What, is she your guardian spirit now? ”

Li Mengnan nodded and said, "Her special ability is very useful to me. ”

"What? Are you going to give up illusion and change to spirituality? The long-haired girl smiled slightly, she knew the roots of Li Mengnan's sect inheritance.

"What? Isn't it possible? ”

"Illusionist and cultivator of spirit arts, there is indeed this kind of combination in Qimen, but before you have the ability to subdue high-level demon spirits with a certain amount of wisdom, a dependent martial artist is your best choice."

Except for a few special inheritances, low melee ability is a common problem for almost all Qimen cultivators, especially Qimen professions like soothsayers and illusionists who have almost no melee skills.

The dependent warrior is similar to the bodyguard of the Qimen cultivator, but the relationship with the Qimen practitioner is different from the relationship between the bodyguard and the employer, and is more similar to the symbiosis in biology.

Because it is difficult for Qimen cultivators to resist sneak attacks from close range, they are also extremely cautious in the selection of dependents who protect themselves, and only those who are completely trusted by Qimen cultivators can become his dependents warriors.

In addition to blood, the strongest relationship in this world is undoubtedly marriage, so the vast majority of Qimen cultivators and their dependent martial artists will eventually come together, which is also the origin of the word "dependent" in front of the name of the dependent martial artist.

"I'll admit you have a point, but I don't bother you about it." Regarding the other party's "kindness", Li Mengnan obviously did not appreciate it.

Although Li Mengnan is a member of the Qimen, he has never planned to get involved in the rivers and lakes too deeply, he prefers to enjoy a comfortable secular life like now than boring cultivation, and once he has a dependent martial artist, he must consider the will of the other party in what he does, and now this comfortable and leisurely ordinary life will inevitably be affected by a certain amount of Cheng Dù.

What's more, in recent years, the relationship between Qimen cultivators and their dependents has long changed, and it is no longer like thousands of years ago, when the spark of love was stimulated after countless battles of life and death, but there is a taste of transaction everywhere - before leaving the school, Qimen cultivators go to the martial arts sect that has a good relationship with the sect where they are located, and the martial arts sect decides the strongest one in the form of a sect competition, and then puts the disciples of both sides together, relying on their appearance, strength, cultivation resources, etc. Finally, it can be announced that the relationship between the family and the warrior will be formed.

It's even more nonsense than the self-help blind date meeting organized by the parents of the leftover men and women in the park in the center of the city on a holiday morning.

Li Mengnan didn't want to add a layer of protection to himself, so he went to stay with a strange woman who had no feelings to speak of twenty-four hours a day.

Even if it is agreed in advance not to interfere with each other's private lives, he can't stand it.

The long-haired girl smiled, as if she had expected that Li Mengnan would reject her proposal, but she did not continue to persuade, but looked at the white-clothed Suzuhiko Ji who was sitting in front of Li Mengnan in a proper manner, and said: "Although for you humans, our demon spirits are just a tool you use to kill each other, but in fact, even the demon spirits that seem to have no wisdom to speak of, they also have feelings such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness......"

As for whether low-level demon spirits possess affection, no one in the Qimen seems to have studied it, or they don't bother to think about it at all. After all, for the vast majority of Qimen cultivators, the demon spirit is just a consumable, equivalent to animals such as poultry and livestock in the real world.

Does anyone think about whether a chicken in a chicken farm is unhappy? Anyway, no matter what mood it is in, its only value is to be made into a delicious dish.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Li Mengnan always felt that there seemed to be another meaning hidden in the words of the long-haired girl, as if she was expressing something to him.

The long-haired girl didn't answer Li Mengnan's question, but continued to say as if talking to herself: "Suzuhikohime, a demon spirit born near a shrine, belongs to a demon spirit with certain divine characteristics, and is very disgusted with zombies, cemeteries, and other things with turbidity and death, and will feel very happy in a beautiful place......

Li Mengnan thought for a while, raised his palm slightly, and a Wa-style shrine covering an area of thousands of square meters rose not far away, and a huge cherry tree dozens of meters high shrouded the main building of the shrine like a pink paper umbrella, and the petals fluttered down with the wind, like a dream.

After the appearance of this shrine, Suzuhiko Hime, who was originally sitting quietly on the ground, walked into the shrine automatically without Li Mengnan's instructions, held up a flower umbrella that appeared out of thin air, and danced in the gorgeous cherry blossom rain.

"Look, she loves her new home...... And it's not too difficult for you to create a shrine like zào here, isn't it? ”

The pleasure expressed by the white-clothed Suzuhiko Ji seemed to infect the long-haired girl in the iron cage, looking at the petite figure with a graceful dance, the corners of the long-haired girl's mouth couldn't help but show a slight smile.

"But it doesn't seem to make any practical sense to me."

Although Li Mengnan said so, he didn't mean to eliminate this shrine, anyway, as long as the size of the space in the phantom prison remained the same, no matter how the environment inside changed, the occupation of his spiritual power would be a fixed value.

"You're wrong." The long-haired girl raised a slender hand carved from beautiful jade and pointed in the direction of the white-clothed Suzuhiko Hime, "Look at how happy the expression on that child's face is, it's clear that she's starting to like you......"

Li Mengnan subconsciously glanced at the slightly weird geisha mask on the face of the white-clothed Suzuhiko, he didn't have the ability of the long-haired girl, and he could see the white-clothed Suzuhiko's expression through the mask.

But then again, that mask seems to be the real face of the white-clothed Suzuhikohime......

"Although the way of birth is different from that of you humans, the demon spirit actually has the same feelings as you humans, and if you are usually kind to your demon spirit, you will get a completely different reward at a critical time."

As if it was a summary of the previous and as a final reminder to Li Mengnan, the long-haired girl walked back to the middle of the iron cage and sat down, closing her eyes and saying nothing.

Looking at the thin and lonely figure in the iron cage, Li Mengnan was silent for a long time, and suddenly shook his head and smiled.

A sea of colorful flowers miraculously grew from the empty ground with an iron cage as the center, and spread out to all directions at a rapid speed.

Not far away, a clear spring arches out of the ground, gradually depositing into a turquoise lake on the ground.

For the first time, the monotonous sky above his head was shrouded in a clear blue sky, and a few faint white clouds floated under the high sun, and the flow of wind began to flow in the space that seemed to be solidified, and the fresh fragrance of flowers and grass filled the place.

It was impossible for such an obvious change to go unnoticed, and the girl in the cage couldn't help but open her eyes again, looking at this space that had almost become a paradise with a little surprise.

"Does that make sense to you?" The long-haired girl glanced at Li Mengnan deeply.

Li Mengnan shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Be kind to your demon spirit, maybe you will get unexpected rewards at some point, isn't it?" ”

The long-haired girl smiled, and there was a diametrically opposite sense of bewitchment in her innocent smile.

"I'm not your goblin."

"For me, you are on my turf, and you are mine."

Li Mengnan turned around and waved his hand at the long-haired girl, and his figure disappeared into space like a punctured bubble.

The long-haired girl smiled, squatted down and reached out to pick a wildflower by the iron cage, put it under her nose and sniffed it lightly, and stuck it in her sideburns.

"Sure enough, nature has nothing to do with memory...... If you see through it, you'll be cheeky, and you're still exactly the same as you were at the beginning......"

……

Despite the fact that consciousness has remained in the phantom prison for so long, time in the real world has only passed for a moment.

Li Mengnan reopened his eyes, the desk lamp was still on, and Qing Che on the big bed behind him was still sleeping soundly, making a few lip smacking sounds like tasting food from time to time, and he didn't know if he had dreamed of something.

Turning off the lamp, Li Mengnan got up and walked to the window, looking at the street covered in silver in the distance, and couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

The unimpressed phantom prison space, the high-level demon spirits of unknown origin locked in it, and the memories of oneself that I don't know if they are hidden or deleted......

Li Mengnan suddenly found that he had been divided into two completely different people at some point - his past self and his current self.

The memories of his childhood are so clear that Li Mengnan can even recall everything that happened in each day as if he were revisiting his diary. He had never doubted the authenticity of these memories before, but the unexplained unknowns that happened to him had to make him seriously think about whether the past in his memories was real for the first time.

For illusionists, thinking about the dialectical relationship between the real and the unreal is a brain-burning thing that has little practical significance, but for Li Mengnan, he must find out what his past self is hiding from his current self.

Although with what he knew about himself, never knowing the truth might be the best for him now.

"Maybe this winter vacation, I should go back to my hometown in Mongolia Province to have a look." Li Mengnan muttered to himself.

Yes, only the place where he had lived for more than ten years could have the answer that the memory could not give him.

……

"Hmm——! It's strange that the bed outside can sleep so comfortably......"

Early the next morning, without waiting for the alarm clock of the mobile phone to ring, Qingche turned over and sat up from the comfortable round bed, his nose let out a lovely moan, and Meimei stretched his waist.

Obviously, I slept late last night, and I am very refreshed at the moment, is it because of my relationship with Meng Nango last night?

The little girl hugged the quilt, closed her eyes and recalled the fullness of her body last night, and her little face was inexplicably a little feverish.

"Oh? Qingche, you're awake. ”

Li Mengnan was sitting on the edge of the bed reading a book on his mobile phone before, and when he saw Qingche get up, he walked to the water dispenser and took a cup of warm water, and handed it to her along with a white pill.

Qing Che didn't ask, just opened his mouth and let Li Mengnan feed the pills to her mouth, and then took a few sips of the water cup and went down.

"Monange, am I good?"

Putting down the water glass, Qingche happily threw herself into Li Mengnan's arms, smiling and hanging on his neck, like a kitten waiting for the owner's praise after eating up the cat food.

"If you're good, you won't have to eat this now."

Li Mengnan knocked Qing Che's little head angrily, Qing Che stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, shook his body and apologized.

Li Mengnan naturally wouldn't really be angry with this little girl, so she let her be pitiful for a while with a straight face, before she took out a jade pendant from her pocket and put it on Qing Che's neck with her own hands.

"Monango, what is this?"

This jade pendant is a white jade plaque worn with red rope, on which are shallowly engraved two fish biting each other with heads and tails, and the knife work is so shoddy that it is like a cheap stall for a few dollars a piece on the street.

Qing Che was a little surprised, Li Mengnan hadn't given her a gift like a necklace before, but none of them were as ugly as the one in front of her.

"This is a peace charm that I made myself, don't leave it at any time, if you encounter danger, break it, it can save your life."

The talisman is the housekeeping ability of the talisman, Li Mengnan naturally won't, in fact, what he handed over to Qing Che was only the jade spirit sealing card that had been transformed, and he resealed the demon spirit named "Red Ghost" in it, and used Qing Che's blood to subdue her guardian spirit.

Although Qing Che did not have enough mental power to maintain the existence of the demon spirit in the real world, the amulet made by Li Mengnan was originally stored as a one-time prop in a critical situation, and there was no requirement for the user's mental power.

From the point of view of Qimen cultivators, this practice is obviously an extremely extravagant behavior, but Li Mengnan himself doesn't feel anything, anyway, this demon spirit is also a trophy picked up for nothing, and he can exchange a demon spirit for Qingqing's peace, this transaction is worth it to him.

Although this jade pendant was ugly to death, Qing Che saw that Li Mengnan was solemn, so he still obediently put it on, opened the collar and stuffed it into the unfathomable ravine in his chest.

"Monange, I'm going to walk around the city with my mother today, she said she wants to go and see the places where she once left memories, do you want to come with us?"

Qing Che rolled over from Li Mengnan's body to the other side of the bed, and walked into the bathroom naked and barefoot, although she really wanted to be tired of Li Mengnan on the bed for a while, but she didn't want her mother, who had already made an appointment yesterday, to wait too long.

"No, I'm going to see a classmate in the hospital later."

Li Mengnan is actually not so busy today, but he just slept with someone else's daughter last night, and he can't show up in front of someone else's mother with a shy face today.

What's more, the woman named Hai Tang definitely didn't want to see him either.

"Oh, okay then." Qing Che nodded, she actually asked casually, and when she heard that Li Mengnan had something, she didn't say anything anymore.

After sending Qingche away, Li Mengnan had a traditional Chinese breakfast in a small restaurant on the side of the road, and rubbed the free wifi for more than half an hour under the murderous eyes of the shopkeeper.

What he said to Qing Che before that he was going to the hospital was actually not an excuse, he did have such a schedule today.

As for the person he was going to see, it was naturally the eldest lady Zhuang Jiazhuang who had escaped the 610 dormitory incident before.

Although I don't have any friendship with this tsundere lady, since it is a medical number, I always have to put on a posture of seeing a doctor.

The eldest lady definitely can't look at things that are too ordinary, and it hurts him to buy them if they are too expensive, Li Mengnan simply bought a bouquet of flowers at the roadside flower shop, put it in the passenger seat, and drove straight to the hospital.
