Chapter 121
Yuan Cheng looked at the small beads glowing with blue light on the table, and asked suspiciously, "This is the Soul Suppression Bead, is this really useful?" ”
"Just try it." Leave the tone of speech casually.
Yuan Cheng couldn't be as casual as Liyan, after all, he had seen what happened when Liyan forcibly fused the bead with himself. If this Soul Suppression Bead wasn't the one they were looking for, who knew what would happen. If something happens at this time, think about it. He looked up at Xuan Nian, there was no way for the two of them to save her.
"Let's find someone reliable." Yuan Cheng cautiously suggested. The two people in the peach forest seemed to be very reliable.
Li Yan took his eyes off the bead and turned his head to look at Yuan Cheng.
"We said okay, let's not mention those." Liyan whispered.
"But ......"
"Even if something happens, it's my own business, and I won't blame you."
"But I don't want you to have an accident, you have an accident, what should I do?" Yuan Cheng shouted.
Liyan looked at Xuan Nian and said, "He will help you." ”
Yuan Cheng looked at Liyan in disbelief, he didn't know whether to say that she had thought so far ahead, or whether to say what an unreliable suggestion she had made. If Xuan Nian can really help him, then the sun can come out of the west.
"Ah Yan ......"
Liyan looked at Yuan Cheng with sincere eyes and said softly: "Those are really important to me. I don't want to kill innocents, I have to know what he did. Only then can I make a final judgment. Perhaps, my memory is wrong. He didn't actually do anything bad. That way, I don't have to kill him. ”
If it can be proved that her memory is wrong, then they don't need to make any more efforts to assassinate Asatsuki, which is a good thing; But at the same time, there is also a possibility that her memory is not wrong, but she does not survive, and who will be responsible for this task when the time comes? Yuan Cheng was a little undecided for a while.
"Why can't you tell them?"
Li Yan lowered his head, looked at the blue beads on the table, and said softly, "I don't want to bother everyone." ”
"But if you really killed that man, wouldn't they find out?"
Li Yan shook his head lightly and said, "My master was expelled from the sect a long time ago. Although my senior brother and I grew up in the mountains, we are not actually disciples of the mountain sect. ”
Looking at the firmness in Liyan's eyes, Yuan Cheng sighed and said, "Today, you must get that thing, right?" ”
Liyan nodded firmly and vigorously.
"We said earlier that as long as you find the Soul Orb, I'll give it to you. Now, you've found it. That's up to you. Yuan Cheng looked at Liyan seriously and said, "It's just that you must be careful." But don't have an accident here. You have to remember that you have important things to do. ”
"Okay, I'll remember." Away from words.
Yuan Cheng reluctantly took out the blue beads that Li Yan handed to him, and looked at the two beads that were similar in color but large in size. Yuan Cheng felt a little flustered. It occurred to him that if he had known that this would be the case, he should not have prayed that she would find the bead so quickly.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing, maybe we're lucky and we succeed." Off the beaten track.
Yuan Cheng wanted to give Liyan a smile, but remembering that she often said that she was very unlucky, the smile suddenly dispersed.
Li Yan also thought of her not very good luck, and at this moment, she had some hope that the sixth senior sister was here. She's always had good luck, and maybe they'll make it.
However, it's a pity that Ji Ran is not here now. Therefore, she is left on her own.
"Just in case, I didn't put an enchantment in the room. So, it's up to the two of you to keep watching. ”
Yuan Cheng and Xuan Nian solemnly nodded and agreed.
"If ......"
Yuan Cheng interrupted her and said, "Whatever you want to say, wait until it's done, and then tell us." ”
“…… Good. ”
Yuan Cheng watched Liyan put the Soul Suppression Bead into his body, and after that, he didn't dare to look at it anymore. So, he silently turned and looked at the door.
Xuan Nian was still staring at Liyan seriously, he had to look at Liyan to make sure that she didn't really die.
When Li Yan picked up the slightly larger blue bead, Xuan Nian saw that her left eye had turned blue. It was only for a moment, but he was sure he could see it clearly. Those blue eyes felt very familiar to him. He must have seen it somewhere.
At the same time, Dongfang Yu, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed in his right eye. It's short, but it's also bright.
He looked up at the far north and muttered, "I hope you find the answer soon, we are running out of time." ”
*
National Teacher's Mansion, study.
Chaoyue looked at the trembling phoenix jade pendant in front of her and twisted her eyebrows.
There was a knock on the door, and he immediately put the jade pendant away.
"Master, I have already done what you commanded." Xue Heng arched his hand.
"Anything else?"
"Mochizuki Tower has been moving a lot lately. This time, we almost caught the banshee, but they got in the way and let her escape. ”
The national teacher narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the banshee in their hands now?" ”
"No, I escaped for the time being."
"Send more people, be sure to find her before they do. Remember, they must never be allowed to get her. ”
"Master......" Xue Heng understood what his master meant, and it was precisely because he understood that he couldn't agree.
"She was born with a baby and needed to be fed with human blood, and more people would die."
Xue Heng looked up at Chaoyue and said in a low voice, "Yes, disciple understands." ”
Chaoyue waved his hand at him and said, "You go down." ”
Xue Heng glanced at Chaoyue again and again, and finally retreated silently.
Wait until the door of the study is closed and make sure that Xue Heng has left completely.
"The first day of the month."
A cold-faced man dressed in black appeared in front of Chaoyue.
"Master." The first jaw of the moon said.
"Did you find it?"
"Nope."
Chaoyue's eyes became more and more cold, and Yueyi's heart couldn't help but rise.
"Look for it again, and let me know as soon as there is news."
"Yes."
Xue Heng looked at Bai Yunhao who was blocking the door, and sighed helplessly.
"Senior brother, what do you want to do if you don't rest so late?"
Bai Yunhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Senior brother, what is the master looking for you?" What are you hiding from me? ”
"It's okay to hide it from you, you take care of your injuries first. When your injuries heal, you'll have a job to do. ”
Bai Yunhao shook his left arm, gritted his teeth and said, "My injury has healed." ”
Xue Heng looked at him silently, Bai Yunhao was invincible after all, and snorted lightly.
"It's just a little bit of pain, just a little bit, and I'm sure it will be fine soon."
Xue Heng stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "When you recover from your injuries, I will tell you everything that happened recently." ”
Bai Yunhao knew that this was his senior brother's biggest concession, and if he continued to mess around, he was afraid that the bamboo basket would be empty.
"Senior brother, then let's talk about it."
"If you heal your wounds, I'll tell you."
"Okay, senior brother, you can rest early."
Without waiting for Xue Heng to open the door, Bai Yunhao turned back again.
"Senior brother, did you tell the master about the three people I found?"
Xue Heng nodded and said, "I already told the master this morning, and the master said that since they didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they don't have to worry about it." ”
Bai Yunhao said deflated: "I understand." "Heshun
Looking at Bai Yunhao's distant back, Xue Heng pinched his eyebrows, there have been too many things that have happened recently. He's really lacking in skills.

"Ahh Ji Ran pinched his nose and said in an urn voice: "Third Senior Brother, someone is scolding me." ”
Cheng An glanced at her and teased her: "Not necessarily, maybe someone is thinking about you." I don't think the young man invited us to dinner because of the two of us. Eighth child, don't you say? ”
Yu Sen said solemnly: "Well, it's not because of the two of us. ”
"Sixth, what do you think of that person?" Cheng An bumped into Ji Ran and asked with a smile.
Ji Ran glared at Cheng An and said in shame: "Third Senior Brother, the most important thing for us now is to find Ah Yan, how can you still have the heart to think about these things." ”
"The master wrote to him that Ah Yan had sent him a letter, which means that she had no accident. It's only a matter of time before we find her. Cheng An chuckled: "When we find Ah Yan, you also find your crush." This is the double happiness that is coming. ”
"We found Ah Yan and found her parents, this is the double happiness." Ji Ran said in a deep voice.
"Three joys are coming, that's even better." Cheng An Dao.
Ji Ran snorted lightly and said, "Third Senior Brother, you better wait for us to find Ah Yan's parents before saying this." ”
Cheng An lowered his head and whispered, "I will definitely be able to find it." ”
"Found it." Ji Ran shouted.
Cheng An's spirits were lifted, and he looked in the direction of Ji Ran's finger.
In the dark corner, a girl of about ten years old stood.
"Child, we won't hurt you, don't be afraid." Cheng An said with a smile.
The boy bit his lip and cautiously asked, "Can you see me?" ”
"Yes, we can see you, and we're here to help you. So, don't be afraid. Ji Ran said softly.
Seeing that the three of them did not make any further movements, Chen Ya's vigilance was relaxed, and he slowly floated in front of several people.
Ji Ran half-squatted in front of the boy and said softly: "My name is Ji Ran, what's your name?" ”
"My name is Chen Ya." The child replied.
"Why are you here?" Ji Ran asked softly.
"I'm going to come out and find help, but somehow, I'm getting lost here."
"Now, you can tell us what you're going to do, and we'll help you."
Chen Ya pursed her lips and hesitated, "You won't take your mother away, will you?" ”
Ji Ran didn't agree immediately, but asked cautiously, "Your mother, what did you do?" ”
"My mother didn't mean it, she just couldn't accept losing me. She had always taken good care of that child. ”
Ji Ran and Cheng An glanced at each other, and at the same time remembered the recent loss of children in the county office. They were on the road today, and they were interrogated by the people of the yamen.
"Isn't that kid the child of your relative?" Ji Ran asked.
Chen Ya shook her head and said, "She was brought back from the street by her mother, and I want to stop my mother." However, my mother couldn't hear me. ”
"You take us to your house, we won't let people take your mother, okay?"
Chen Ya thought quietly for a while, stretched out the little finger of her left hand, and said, "Let's pull the hook." ”
Ji Ran was a little helpless on his face, but he still slowly stretched out the little finger of his right hand. She carefully hooked her little finger with Chen Ya's little finger, and didn't let her little finger pass through her finger.
"Come this way."
Soon, Chen Ya took the three of them to a small courtyard.
The garden is full of chrysanthemums, and it is very beautiful.
"It's just me and my mother living here, and before, when I wasn't sick, the two of us would look at the stars in the flowers." She looked up at the night sky and said with a lonely expression, "Since I was sick, we haven't looked at the stars together again." ”
Listening to his sad tone, Ji Ran wanted to reach out and touch his head and comfort him. However, looking at the translucent figure in the moonlight, she still didn't stretch out her hand after all.
There was a knock on the door, and it was a long time before someone came and opened the door for them.
"Who are you?" The woman's eyes dodged, and her tone was horrified.
Ji Ran softly comforted her: "Mrs. Chen, we are not here to find trouble. We brought Chen Ya to meet you. ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Ya'er has already slept, don't lie to me." ”
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, she probably thought that the kidnapped child was Chen Ya.
Ji Ran pointed to Chen Ya's position beside him and said, "Look, isn't Chen Ya here?" She sneaked out while you weren't looking, and happened to run into us. ”
The woman looked at Chen Ya beside Ji Ran, turned her head and looked at the room, as if she didn't believe it. But the child in front of him is indeed his own Ya'er, yes. However, Ya'er should be in bed, Ya'er is not in good health, and should be in bed.
"No, you're not my Ya'er. My Yael is in bed, she's in bed. With that, he ignored Ji Ran and the others, and stumbled back to the house.
Seeing this, several people hurriedly followed.
When they entered the house, they saw Chen Ya's mother holding the child on the bed, humming a little song, and with a motherly smile on her face.
"It's okay, my mother is here, don't be afraid."
Ji Ran looked at the child with a solemn expression.
"What did your mother give her?"
"I've been drinking medicine because I'm sick, so my mother gave her the medicine I drank. She added a lot of sleeping herbs to it. Chen Ya said softly.
Ji Ran turned his head to look at Cheng An and said, "Third Senior Brother, we have to get that kid away." ”
Cheng An looked at Chen Ya, "We stunned your mother, don't you mind?" ”
"Don't hurt my mother."
Ji Ran approached Chen Ya's mother lightly, and kept holding the woman who was fake Chen Ya, and didn't notice Ji Ran's movements at all. Ji Ran quickly stepped out and supported her limp body. Cheng An hurriedly picked up the child from the bed, and then Ji Ran placed the woman on the bed.
When Ji Ran was treating the child, Cheng An asked Chen Ya about the situation.
Chen Ya told them that they originally lived with their grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt. When she was five years old, she became seriously ill and needed medication.
Grandpa and grandma didn't like her as a granddaughter, and it was impossible for them to pay for medicine for her. Her grandmother also resented her because her mother had never been pregnant.
Finally, one day, she took advantage of her mother's absence to take her out of the house and wanted to sell her.
Fortunately, her mother came back in time, so she didn't succeed. And her mother accidentally injured her grandmother during the dispute. Therefore, she was divorced by her father.
They didn't let her get her dowry back, but they gave Chen Ya to her.
After that, the two of them depended on each other. Her mother's flower raising skills are superb, and although the two live a hard life, they are also happy. It's just that her illness is not so easy to cure.
"My mother has suffered too much because of my illness, and I don't want her to continue to be sad because of this matter."
Ji Ran looked at Chen Ya, his eyes full of pity. It's a pity to be so sensible at such a young age.
"Do you want to tell your mother all these things?" Cheng An asked softly.
"Is that okay?" There was a hint of surprise in Chen Ya's tone.
Cheng An smiled: "Yes." ”
"Thank you, big brother." Chen Ya had a long-lost smile on her face.
Ji Ran grabbed Yu Sen and said with a smile: "Eighth Senior Brother, you accompany me to take care of her." ”
Yu Sen pondered for a moment and sat down opposite Ji Ran.
"I will take you into your mother's dreams, and in them you can talk to her." Cheng An earnestly advised: "I will be with you, there will be no problem." But after seeing your mother, you're leaving, you know? ”
Chen Ya glanced at the girl who was still sleeping and asked, "My mother, will there be trouble?" ”
"No, we'll fix it for her."
"Okay, I see."
Cheng An smiled at Chen Ya, and then reached out and tapped at the center of her eyebrows.
