"Yes or no, I detained the child's soul after all."

White Feather's eyes flickered for a moment, and then another white feather shot out. Xing Ruyi turned sideways, and the white feathers stuck straight into a tree behind him. Immediately after, a white shadow flashed beside him, and when he looked again, Bai Yu was no longer in the house.

Without a fox by his side, it is naturally not very convenient for Xing Ruyi to track. It's just that the white feather was first devoured by the spirit flag, and then he was injured by his own hidden weapon, judging from the second feather he shot, his injury was not light, and his feet were not fast.

Relying on his extremely sensitive nose and following the breath left on Bai Yu's hidden weapon, Xing Ruyi chased Bai Yu all the way to a broken Taoist temple outside the city.

Bai Yu leaned against the broken door of the Taoist temple, and judging from his posture, it was obvious that the escape just now had aggravated his injuries. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head, looked at Xing Ruyi and said helplessly: "Sure enough, you still followed." ”

"I know I can't escape, why do I have to escape?"

"Gotta try." Bai Yu smiled astringently: "Since I saw Mrs. in the inn, Bai Yu knew that Mrs. was not an ordinary person. Therefore, Bai Yu never thought of any head-on conflict with you, Madame. If it weren't for the lack of choice, Bai Yu wouldn't be willing to make a move in front of his wife. Lihua has to die. ”

"Are you worried that Lihua will tell me the secret between you?"

Bai Yu did not deny it.

"You killed Lihua, but you couldn't hide all the secrets. In this way, you still made a hasty move. ”

"It was Bai Yu who underestimated Madame. Madame is a little more powerful than Bai Yu imagined. ”

"You're wrong, I'm not bad. If you hadn't killed Lihua in the inn, I wouldn't have noticed that there was a third person hiding in this Yong'an City. Before that white feather appeared, I always thought that Ying Hong had killed Lihua. She has a motive for revenge and killing, and she is more convenient to do. If it weren't for your presence, I'd let it pass in peace. ”

"Because of that Shanda?"

"That's right! We're old friends and good friends, and I don't want him to be hurt more. ”

"In this way, I did act hastily and without consideration."

"You are a cultivator, you should know that if you perform the art of soul restoration, you will be punished by heaven."

"I know. But there are some things I have to do. ”

Bai Yu said, staggering into the dilapidated house. Xing Ruyi went in with him, and in addition to the dilapidated statue, there was also a bed in the broken house. Lying on the bed was Yinghong. Her eyes were closed, her face was pale, and although her body was well preserved, it still exuded a strong smell of corpse.

Ying Hong is dead, and died a long time ago. This is something that Duan Niang, Lihua and Yinghong herself have all determined. When Fang was in the Wang family, although Xing Ruyi also guessed that Bai Yu would hide Yinghong's body and even take it to Yong'an City, he didn't expect that he would come face to face with Yinghong so quickly.

"She's dead!"

"She'll come back to life." Bai Yu pointed to Ying Hong's body.

Xing Ruyi saw that Yinghong's chest was rising and falling slightly.

"Only the last one is missing. As long as I refine the last soul and inject it into the soul lamp above Ying Hong's head, she will be able to come back to life. ”

"It's not Yinghong who comes to life."

"Nope! It's English red. Bai Yu looked at Yinghong's corpse, his eyes were full of tenderness: "I promised, no matter what, I will protect her for the rest of my life." When she suffered, I didn't know, it was my fault. But now, I'm going to use all my power to bring her back to life. ”

"But it's better to live like this than to die." Xing Ruyi came closer: "Many years ago, I saw a person who had the same obsession as you. It's just that you care about the girl you like, and what she wants to keep is her brother. You know? In order to fulfill his sister's wish to keep him alive, the boy had to endure the pain of turning from a human being to a white bone, and then from a white bone to a human being every month. One year, two years, ten years, my sister's persistence eventually turned into a punishment for my younger brother. ”

"It's different." Bai Yu sat on the edge of the bed and stroked Yinghong's forehead: "My Yinghong doesn't have to go through that kind of pain. ”

"Are you sure? This is the first time you've used this soul art. All you know is that using this magic can bring people back from the dead, so what happens when you come back from the dead, you know? Whether it's the master who taught you or the books that taught you, they shouldn't tell you this. ”

"Could it be that Madame knows?"

"You may not believe it, I have seen the most powerful Taoist in this Tang Dynasty, and he can even control the ancient divine beasts to help him do things. Coming back from the dead seemed to him to be nothing more than a matter of moving his little finger. The younger brother I just talked about came from his handwriting. Compared to the spells he casts, this soul restoration technique of yours is only the lowest version. ”

"The lowest version?"

"Oh, sorry, I used a more obscure word from my hometown. I mean, the soul rejuvenation you're using now is nothing more than a pediatric to him. ”

"Is Madam laughing at Bai Yu's Taoism?"

"Nope! You misunderstood, I didn't mean to laugh at you. In fact, your Dao skills are much better than mine. Xing Ruyi glanced at Ying Hong: "I have also seen another kind of person who came back from the dead, that is, Ying Hong's appearance after resurrection." Her heart was beating again, she could walk like a normal person, and she might even be able to eat, but she was just a living dead person.

She didn't have an independent mind of her own, and even with the best rouge gouache in the Tang Dynasty, there was no way to cover up the strong smell of corpses on her body. She can only hide herself in the night, day and night, and cannot see the light. She can feel hungry and thirsty, but she has no way to rely on her own labor to obtain food, she can only steal, rob, and even hunt some prey. In the end, it became a monster that everyone feared.

One day, she will meet someone who practices the Dao like you, and she will end up dead and gone. ”

Bai Yu hesitated.

"Even so, I'm going to help her fulfill her wishes."

"Knowing the result, do you still want to go your own way?"

"The first time I met her was when I was just learning the Dao Fa and going down the mountain. At that time, she had not yet been bought into slavery. Her family is very poor, and her father is a bastard, and he is embarrassed for their mother and daughter except to drink and sleep all day long. Her mother was a kind and good person, and she endured all the bullying of her father for the sake of Yinghong.

When I met her, she was sitting by the river. He was barefoot, with half-washed clothes at his feet. She sat alone on the rocks by the river, her eyes red and staring at the river in a daze.

I walked over and glanced at her. She looked up and smiled at me. I've never seen such a clean smile, my eyes are full of bitterness, but my smile still feels pure and warm like the autumn sun.

That day, we talked a lot. She told me a lot about her family. I also told her about my trip to the mountains to learn art. She will be much younger than me next year, but there doesn't seem to be a gap between us.

When we parted, she asked me if I would see her in the future. I said, yes. She asked me again if I could help her if her father bullied her and her mother again. Because she saw me with a sword on my back and knew that I knew I was good at kung fu.

I told her that I would do my best to protect her.

She stood by the river, happily kicking the water and calling my name. At that time, I knew that the word white feather was so good. At that time, I swore that I would do my best to protect her for the rest of her life.

I studied the Tao in order to subdue demons and eliminate demons. Therefore, after a short encounter, I followed the master's instructions to find and destroy those demons hidden in the world. This walk is three years.

When I returned to the village three years later, she was gone. I heard from the villagers that his father beat her mother to death by mistake after getting drunk once. The government sent someone to arrest his father and put him in prison. Yinghong, too, is missing.

I looked for her for a long time before I met her in Luoyang City. At that time, she was already the maid of the Sheng family. She told me that on the night her mother was killed and her father was taken away by the government, she was kidnapped by several gangsters, tortured inhumanely, and then sold to Renyazi.

I looked into her eyes, and there was nothing but resentment in those eyes. I didn't dare to think about it, and I didn't want to think about what she had been through. I told her that I would take her out of Luoyang and wherever she wanted to go. But she just watched me cry. ”

Bai Yu's head bowed: "Later, I learned that she was sold to others as slaves." Unless her master is willing to let her go, she will stay in that Sheng family until she dies. Even after death, she is still a girl of the Sheng family. ”

"One day, she came to me and asked me to help her mother. I diagnosed her mother as pregnant, but the fetus was extremely abnormal. After I asked again and again, I found out that the child was ......" Bai Yu paused: "That child was obtained by evil magic. I am a cultivator, so I naturally know that if that child is born, he will definitely become a scourge. Just when I hesitated and didn't know how to choose, the second lady of the Sheng family, that is, Mrs. Lihua, found me. She hoped that I could help her get rid of the blood and bones in the arms of the eldest lady. Afterwards, Yinghong also found me and persuaded me to help the second lady do things. ”

"That's exactly what you're doing!"

"Yes, with Yinghong and the second lady's request, I didn't have the slightest concern. I secretly replaced a few flavors of medicine in the eldest lady's tocolytic. In order not to be discovered, I also injected Dao methods into those herbs, and changed their appearances. It's just that I didn't expect that this incident would kill Yinghong. ”

"Everything has a cause and there will be an effect, Yinghong's matter, I am also very sympathetic, and even feel sorry for her. But Bai Yu, you shouldn't have killed so many innocent people in vain to save her. Xing Ruyi turned his finger into a sword and pointed at Bai Yu: "Think about that blind woman, that child is her only hope for living today." ”

"Let's do it!" Bai Yu closed his eyes: "I should pay for the sins I committed, but I don't regret it." ”
