Chapter 16: The Soul of the Dream
Why, can I see that thing? The purple kite asked herself, biting her lower lip lightly, her face pale and bloodless.
The scene from that moment was replaying in her mind again, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she felt. Especially after that, if Mo Siyou hadn't rushed back, would she have been able to deal with so many water ghosts?
Mo Siyou saw the purple kite's painful expression, pulled her into his arms, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't think about it anymore!"
The purple kite lowered her eyes and calmed her heartbeat before agreeing in a low voice, "Brother You, I'm fine." She looked up and winked at him twice, a smile on her lips. Seeing that he was still frowning worriedly, she grabbed his arm and said, "I'm not so fragile! ”
"I'm not going to let anything hurt you. Mo Siyu looked at her stubborn smile and muttered as if she had made a solemn promise.
"Tsk, you are so kind to me, but you want to make this lonely family jealous~" Luoxue pouted beside her, half-joking and half-seriously. The brilliance of his eyes was like starlight, almost comparing the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The purple kite stuck out her tongue at him, and did not shy away from showing a smug expression, which was almost like the pitiful appearance of fear before.
The falling snow lamented, the woman's face changed faster than the sky!
When Jin Ling heard Luoxue's words, she "chuckled" in her heart, and looked at Mo Siyou and Purple Kite a little nervously. Aren't they masters and apprentices? Luoxue uses words like "Qingqing, me, and me" to describe them......
She shook her head, feeling like she was thinking too much. No matter what the relationship between the two of them is, it has nothing to do with them, does it? Jin Ling said this to himself, then turned to Chun'er and asked, "Why did the soul of the Holy Aunt linger in the Great Hall of the Wa God and not enter the Hades?"
Chun'er sighed and said, "It's all because of obsession." At that time, the Wa God Hall was dedicated to Shui Linglong, and some unscrupulous people coveted it and came to steal the treasure. The holy aunt was supposed to protect Shui Linglong with the goddess, but she was selfish, fell in love with the thief who stole the treasure, and tried to help the abuse and steal Shui Linglong. At that time, Shui Linglong had a mutation, and her spiritual power was uncontrollable, so the Holy Aunt was seriously injured and died, and since then, her soul has been lingering in the Wa God Temple. Although we can't see her, we can feel the aura that remains on her body. I didn't expect this girl to ......"
As he spoke, he glanced deeply at the purple kite.
"What's going on with the fire in front?" Jin Ling asked puzzled.
"In the fire is the temple of the god Wa. Dong'er replied.
"Huh?" Jin Ling's eyes widened in surprise as he stared blankly at the raging flames. Is that...... How could the temple of the god Wa fall into the fire? When did the fire burn out? Why?
A lot of questions were stuffed in her chest. Before she could ask, Chun'er already understood her thoughts, and slowly explained to them.
"This fire dates back more than 1,000 years......"
This number made the purple kite's heart suddenly tighten.
More than a thousand years ago, Nuwa's descendants used Shui Linglong to defeat the demon lord Mo Wen, who was the bloodline of Chiyou, was himself the spirit of fire, and in the realm of the end of the strong crossbow, the power around his body turned into a pouring of fire, which plunged the temple of the god Wa into a sea of fire.
Therefore, Nuwa's descendants enshrined Shui Linglong in the temple of the god Wa, suppressing the spiritual power of the flames. However, five hundred years ago, Shui Linglong disappeared, the flames were uncontrollable, and they erupted again, and the Wa God Temple instantly became a hell on earth. The reason why there are so many ghostly ghosts in this vicinity is also because the divine power of the Wa God Temple has been destroyed, and the flames are surging to the sky.
These four runes used their divine power to form a bamboo forest barrier, and only then did they slightly curb the spread of evil qi. If it weren't for that, the entire Miao Jiang would probably be swallowed by the evil qi.
After hearing this, everyone sighed, and couldn't help but know a little more about the rumored demon lord.
It's just the last bit of power that can make the Wa God Temple, which is protected by Nuwa's divine power, fall into such an embarrassing situation, no wonder the human world has been so afraid of this demon lord for thousands of years. Come to think of it, the vicious war thousands of years ago, people obviously paid an extremely painful price. Without the help of Nuwa's descendants and Shui Linglong, how could humanity defeat such a formidable opponent?
Purple Kite showed a hint of disdain at their surprise, but it was only in her heart. Mo asked how powerful he was, she couldn't describe it, but in her heart, he was the only existence in this world that could only be looked up to. So she sometimes wonders if she's trying her best to get close to him, isn't it a little self-conscious. But in the end, she still couldn't convince herself to give up, even if his eyebrows were always light, as if he saw through the world and was not moved by anyone, she was unwilling.
When he gently rubbed her hair and called her "girl", wouldn't there be tenderness in his eyes?
Purple Kite thought of the silver-haired and purple-robed figure, and her heart was a little warm and a little sour.
The night was already very late, and Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter took the three of them to rest in the courtyard next to the Wa God Temple, which was barely maintained by a small force of divine power.
Mo Siyou sat on the edge of the bed and accompanied the purple kite until she fell asleep, and then opened the door and walked out. He didn't know that the purple kite at this moment was walking into the fog of the dream.
Dense bamboo trees, stretching endlessly into the distance in the mist, an old plaque with a red lantern hanging in front of it. The wind blew the lantern and the candle flame inside flickered, making the face of the woman standing below flicker.
With this red halo, the purple kite finally saw the woman's delicate face clearly. A pale little face, with a pointed chin that is slightly haggard, but the facial features on the face are very delicate, although it is not a majestic beauty, but it is also sweet and tactful of the little jasper.
Purple Kite immediately thought of the holy aunt that Chun'er said. She thought that the person who assisted Nuwa's descendants, even if it was a woman, should be a person with an atmosphere like a man, just like ...... That person is the same. However, the weak woman in front of her made people feel a little pity.
So even though he knew that there was a problem with this holy aunt appearing here, the purple kite still had the courage to take a few steps forward.
"Y-Who are you?"
The purple kite seemed to know that she was in a dream, so she was not as scared as before. Since it was a dream, it would be good to wake up, which gave her some confidence in her heart, and she could barely say a few words.
The woman was also looking at her, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for the purple kite to talk to her. Hearing this, a kind smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said, "I am the Holy Gu Lotus Heart of the Wa God Temple. I'm a ghost, because you're the body of the yin, so you can see me. ”
As expected......
The purple kite seemed to suddenly realize something, took two steps back, glared at Lianxin and said, "Did you come to my dream on purpose?"
Lianxin also nodded frankly, "I don't have much spiritual power left, and it took a lot of effort to get to your hallucinations and dreams." ”
Purple Kite's heart blocked for a moment, thinking of the scene she had seen on the riverbank before, it turned out to be an illusion deliberately created by Lotus Heart! From the beginning, Lotus Heart was deliberately approaching herself!
"What do you want to do?" Purple Kite knew that her Xuanyin body was coveted by many Netherworlds, and suddenly became vigilant. But isn't it too stupid for this woman to want her body and appear in front of her so blatantly?
Looking at the purple kite's suspicious eyes, Lianxin remained motionless, still smiling faintly, and replied, "I want to ask you for help." ”
"Help?" the purple kite's heart beat faster. This sentence can also be understood as wanting to borrow her body! The purple kite's consciousness unconsciously ran in this direction, and it retreated even further.
Seeing the vigilant look of the purple kite, Lianxin frowned slightly, and asked with a sad face, "Are you afraid of me?"
As she spoke, she had floated up to the purple kite.
It's really floating!
The purple kite's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she stepped back, but her back was against the wall. She was stunned for a moment, and then she thought that this was a dream created by Lianxin, everything was arranged according to Lianxin, even if the back road was unimpeded just now, it was not impossible to turn into a hard wall in the next moment.
The purple kite had no way to retreat, looking at the lotus heart in front of her, she had to answer her words hard.
"Y-what do you want me to do for you?"
Lianxin's pale little face could not hide her sad look, and she stared at the purple kite, as if she was afraid that she would run away, paused for a moment, and said, "I want to ask you to help me find someone." You're the only person I've been able to see in 500 years, and I can only ask you. Please!"
"Looking for someone?" Purple Kite was a little surprised by Lianxin's request, and then reacted, looking at Lianxin with a pair of black and shining eyes. She came to her dream just to ask for this kind of thing? Didn't she want her own body of Xuanyin? After a while, she continued to ask, "Who do you want me to help you find?"
Lianxin's thin face showed a touch of Qi, and she muttered: "Five hundred years ago, he came here to look for Shui Linglong, and I promised to bring Shui Linglong to him. But...... I lost my life, unable to fulfill my promise, unable to leave, and wondering if he had been waiting for me at the appointed place. ”
"It's been five hundred years, how can it still be ......" Purple Kite took a deep breath, but the rest of the words stopped. She saw the sad face flowing in the moonlight, a pair of horizontal eyes with tears in her eyes that refused to let the tears fall, and her lips were tightly curled.
Such a stubborn appearance made the purple kite suddenly see her former self.
Once upon a time, looking at his cold and indifferent back, in order to wait for him to turn back, she could stand behind him all day.
Once upon a time, in the face of the scene in the illusion, when he turned into flames and flew away, she gritted her teeth and did not let the tears flow.
Once upon a time, knowing that he was reborn in the human world, she swore that she would find him at the end of the world.
Not long since......
The purple kite endured the sourness in her reddened eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "How can I help you?"
Seeing that the purple kite was relieved, Lianxin took out a piece of mutton fat jade pendant from his arms, handed it to the purple kite, and said in a pleading tone: "Take this jade pendant and go to the ancient tree of Bicao Villa to find him." If he hadn't left, he would have come out to meet you. ”
The coolness on the jade pendant came from the fingertips, and the purple kite couldn't help but tremble. She opened her eyes wide and woke up from her dream.
