Chapter 102: Capture the Flag
The wind is clear and the moon is clear, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the houses are lined up one after another. In the fields, even more, the wisps of figures face the loess with their backs to the sky and concentrate on farming, a good picture of men and women weaving, hidden and comfortable landscape paintings.
"This is the underworld?" Mingyue pointed to a paradise in front of her in disbelief.
"Doesn't the world say that the underworld is eerie and terrifying, and there are lonely souls and wild ghosts everywhere?"
"In the red dust, who has seen it with their own eyes?" Ji Hua was not as teasing as usual, but said lightly.
"The underworld is the place where the lives of all living beings are in charge, and it is surprising that it is full of vitality. As for the lonely souls and wild ghosts, those figures who are plowing are not. ”
"It's really an eye-opener...... although Mingyue felt that what Ji Hua said was reasonable, she still couldn't stop being amazed.
"Put away your curiosity!" Ji Hua glanced at Mingyue, who was full of curiosity, and straightened his expression. "If we stay here for a long time, it is inevitable that the guards of the Sect Underground Mansion will find out."
"Hmm" mentioned this, Mingyue's face was a little more solemn. "Without further ado, I'll go inside!"
"Wait!" Ji Hua grabbed Mingyue's clothes, and his eyes were a little dark. "Things have changed, the old way is no longer working!"
Mingyue was stunned and turned her head suddenly, but saw that Ji Hua's face was not panicked, and she seemed to be in her chest. At an important juncture, it is difficult for her to investigate why Ji Hua concealed her. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke.
"How?"
Hearing this, Ji Hua's palm was open, and a little bit of light and dust gradually gathered, looking at its shape, like a tower. After a while, the light and dust dissipated, and the treasure revealed its true face, but Mingyue was shocked.
"This is the wind chime that protects Ah Qi!"
Mingyue grabbed Ji Hua's wrist fiercely, but her gaze was firmly glued to the wind chime. When she had been observing this thing in the courtyard for a long time, she had already engraved it in her heart.
"How can you take it off!" She asked with some hastiness.
Seeing Mingyue's panicked appearance, Ji Hua became more and more calm. "There is a spell set by Zongzhi himself in the wind chime, if you don't have it, you won't have a chance to win if you capture the Soul Flag!"
"You've planned it a long time ago?" Mingyue's eyes were cold, and she looked directly at Ji Hua.
"That's right!" Ji Hua calmly told the truth. "Otherwise, why did I teach you to approach Ouyang Qi in the first place!"
He lowered his eyes and looked at Mingyue, who was a little stunned, and his tone couldn't help but soften. "This wind chime is a thing that recognizes the Lord, if there is no Ouyang Qi's approval, we can't move half of it!"
Mingyue only felt that there were thousands of thoughts in her head, which made her brain stunned, leaving only a blank blank.
"However, when you taught me to approach him, you made him willingly killed by me." Her mind was already in chaos, and she murmured everything she thought in her heart.
"You didn't control your heart, you can't do it anymore, can you!"
"Yes......" She looked at the wind chimes blankly, unable to say anything.
"I didn't mean to lie to you, but if I taught you to know, you would be thinking about it, so why should I do it."
He stuffed the wind chime into Mingyue's hand. "After the deed is completed, I will teach the wind chimes to return to their original owners!"
Mingyue subconsciously caught the wind chime, her numb fingertips rubbed carefully, and her eyes couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"Without the wind chimes, if something happens to Ah Qi, it should be ......"
"No, it won't!" Ji Hua broke off and didn't hesitate, and cut it out categorically.
Catching a glimpse of Mingyue's startled eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief: "With Yuyue here, he will be fine."
"Yuyue?"
She snorted in a daze. It seems that this is the case, Yuyue found Jincheng, and she left Ah Qi in advance. Yuyue has protected him for several lifetimes, thinking about it, Ah Qi should be safe, she secretly comforted herself.
"Ji Hua ......" she hugged the wind chimes tightly, trying to find half a bit of peace of mind. You don't have anything to hide from me......"
Her face was a little pale, her eyes were full of uncertainty, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "We've known each other for 3,000 years, and I really want to treat you as a friend!"
"What am I trying to do?"
Ji Hua's face was calm, but his hands behind his back were clenched tightly, his knuckles were white, and he was so hard that he almost crushed his finger bones.
Yes, what is Ji Huatu? Regarding her suspicions, Mingyue sneered in her heart. They originated from Nanke, and their fate is also from Nanke. She has a merman with shallow spiritual power, what is there to do......
"I'm sorry......" she said weakly, her head bowed.
Looking at Mingyue, who was holding the wind chimes tightly, drooping her head, as lonely as an abandoned child in the market, Yuyue's words suddenly floated into her mind.
"You made her make a big mistake in the first place, she figured everything out, and let go of everything, but she didn't let go of herself. Now, you have to teach that little mermaid to become the next "Nanke"! ”
"Mingyue......" he opened his mouth as if uncontrollably.
"Huh?" Mingyue raised her eyes, and the sadness in her eyes did not dissipate.
“……”
"Let's get started"
When the words came to his lips, he didn't want to say them after all. However, Ji Hua secretly said in his heart that after the matter was completed, he would not let Mingyue know half of Ouyang Qi's affairs......
Mingyue nodded and motioned for Ji Hua to continue.
"Nan Ke and the Soul Banner exist together, and your spiritual power and Nan Ke's spiritual power have been integrated, plus with the blessing of the charm of the Wind Chime Zhongzong, you will merge your spiritual power into the wind chime, and the wind chime will lead your divine sense, and you can find the Soul Flag."
"I have ethereal spiritual sense, and after I find it, I can't take the spirit banner away." Mingyue was puzzled.
"Don't worry, there is a sect's talisman traction, as long as you find the spirit flag, the spirit flag will sense the breath of the sect and come with you."
"Hmm," Mingyue nodded distractedly.
"Don't delay, I'm here to protect the Fa for you, so as not to be disturbed by others."
Hearing this, Mingyue sat cross-legged, closed her eyes and breathed, and slowly gathered the spiritual power swimming in her body to her fingertips, only to see wisps of blue light floating into the wind chimes as if she were conscious.
"Ding, Ding......" The wind chimes suddenly floated into the air, swaying without wind.
Hearing the sound, Mingyue slowly opened her eyes, but what greeted her was herself sitting cross-legged, and the ringing in her ears seemed to be pulling her somewhere.
With ethereal spiritual sense, she easily followed the bell without any effort. Drift over the mountains and mountains. Finally, suddenly there is a quaint and inactive city.
The city is no different from the mortal city, except that the people who defend the city are all bull-headed and horse-faced, and the people who come and go are all wandering ghosts. After the previous incident, Mingyue had no intention of being curious, drifted past the prosperous and lively ghost market, and drifted away with the sound of the bell.
Finally, in front of a quiet place similar to a mortal yamen, she stopped, and the sound of the bell scattered, but it resounded back and forth. Mingyue looked forward a few times suspiciously, but stopped as soon as the door opened.
"Old man, the food at that stall on the corner is good, just go there for lunch." A man with a tiger's back came out of the vermilion gate.
"Good food? Lao Li, don't make excuses for your alcohol addiction! Who doesn't know that the wine brewed by that stall is one top and one good! Then came a short, thin man.
"Hahaha......" The tall man put his arm on the thin man's shoulder and laughed: "Those who know me, Mo Ruo Old Master!" ”
"You reckless man has learned to write nonsense." The thin man slapped the big tall man's hand in disgust. "It's just a mistake! If something goes wrong, it's hard to explain. ”
"Wrong fart!" The tall man was exposed. "Every day I nest here to guard a broken flag, if there is a bit of danger, Lao Tzu is still happy! But it's been 3,000 years, and there's not a single ghost here! Suffocated Lao Tzu. ”
"You don't have to complain, you're not satisfied with a little bit of idleness!"
"Good! Lao Tzu is going to go to relax and drink now! As he spoke, the tall man strode forward.
"Wait......" The skinny man scrambled to catch up.
There was still a conversation between the two in her ears, but Mingyue couldn't hear half of the useful news. She kept looking inside the door, and she had already made a plan in her mind. I'm afraid that the broken flag in that person's mouth is just a spirit flag.
She turned her head to look at the two who were gone, flashed sideways, and entered the house.
It's just that there is only one room in the huge mansion, and she walked through the patio with some suspicion, looking at the main hall that was no different from the mortal world, but felt that it revealed a strangeness that she couldn't say.
But Suzune was hovering in the hall, and she was ruthless in her heart, and she stepped forward with her feet raised. The scene changes in an instant. The solemn but eerie main hall was now transformed into a molten hell.
The smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, the molten is agitated, and there is a chained wrist-thick on it, I am afraid that it is the road where this molten hell will fall. The line of sight went along the chain, the bright moon was happy, and at the end, a one-person-high spirit flag, flashing with golden light, floated in the air around the cinnabar spell.
"Whew......" A heavy snoring sound, but Mingyue was startled.
Looking down, I saw that in the molten lava, a monster with four eyes and six hands was sleeping soundly, and there was a raging fire burning around it.
Even if she was only a spiritual sense at this time, but when she saw Chi You's soul, Mingyue still couldn't hold her breath, for fear that one more movement would disturb the soul.
"Bang la la......" There was an inexplicable vibration in the air, and the iron chain was startled and swayed a few times.
It's just that Mingyue hasn't had time to worry about whether she will wake up the revenant, she only feels that a huge pull almost wants to tear her apart, which is even better than the previous phantom return
"Poof...... "Poof" was like an elastic tendon that tensed and let go instantly, and Mingyue's divine sense was suddenly bounced back. The huge impact force suddenly surged up in the body.
"Bright Moon!" Ji Hua was startled, and hurriedly squatted down to check Mingyue's situation.
"Huhu ......" Mingyue gasped, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was to look at the wind chimes on the ground, for fear that Fang Cai's sudden force would damage it.
"Bright Moon ......," Ji Hua called again.
"It's okay...... Mingyue came back to her senses and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth weakly. I saw the conjuring flag, but it wasn't ...... yet."
After a pause, Mingyue was dumbfounded, and the hand that had just been wiped with blood was tightly holding the fist-sized spirit flag.
"Why are you here......" she muttered in surprise.
"Get up......" Ji Hua didn't care about explaining, and reached out to help Mingyue up. Let's get out of the underworld first! ”
Mingyue was stunned and didn't have time to react, only felt a flower in front of her, her nose moved slightly, and what she smelled was the salty smell of seawater.
Seeing that he had returned to Zhuyahai, Ji Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to unconsciously take the spirit banner in Mingyue's hand. "The sound of the bell contains the breath of Zongzhi, coupled with Nanke's spiritual power, as long as the spirit flag senses it, it will come back with you."
"Hmm......" Mingyue nodded as if she didn't understand, but suddenly thought of something, and broke free with a few steps holding the wind chime.
"Wind chimes, I want to return the wind chimes to Ah Qi!"
"Not right now!" Ji Hua pinched the spirit banner in his hand and said coldly.
"Why!" Mingyue took a few steps back and asked, "You said that after the matter is completed, you will return the wind chimes to Ah Qi!" ”
"Then we'll have to wait until it's done!"
