Chapter 8: Doubt and Temptation
As soon as Chasing Wind fell, he fluttered his wings and flew up, stopping on Yunchen's shoulder, cooing and spraying a mouthful of flames towards Ye Xiu and the others.
Ye Xiu extinguished the oncoming flames with a flick of his hand, he frowned and said, "Chasing the wind, what are you doing?" The spirit beast is extremely human and can understand the master's words.
Chasing the wind cooed and screamed as balls of fireball erupted endlessly, and he didn't know how its chubby body could turn into so much fire.
"Grandpa, it's my ......" Yunchen covered the wound on his shoulder, and shook his body to shake off the chasing wind on his shoulder.
"What?" Ye Xiu was stunned, his eyes staring at Yunchen deadly, and the four brothers of the Ye family had different expressions.
The injured arm seemed to be unable to exert its strength for a while, and Yunchen used the hand covering the wound to pick up the messy hair that was covering his eyes.
The wounds on his face that were originally caused by Dongfang Ming didn't know when they disappeared, although there was still a lot of mud on his face, and several people recognized him at once.
"Yunchen child, it's really you...... How did you get so ......" Ye Xiu stepped forward quickly, and a blue-green yuan force attached to Yun Chen's shoulder, temporarily stopping the bleeding.
"Yunchen finally waited for you to come...... It's sad to die of my second uncle these days. Ye Xiangnan stepped forward, his face was a little complicated, he was really worried these days.
Ye Xiangdong didn't expect that it was his nephew who would be injured on the other side, his face changed twice, and then he returned to normal, smiled bitterly at a few people with a little self-reproach, and said: "Don't blame Yunchen, it's okay, uncle, I'm too anxious, go back and compensate you!"
Ye Xiangxi and Ye Xiangbei also came up, and asked Yunchen how he did this.
"Yunchen has finally arrived, I'll go back and prepare first!" Ye Xiangnan hurriedly said and swept into the air.
"Child, you must have suffered a lot of grievances along the way, let's go, go home first. Ye Xiu pulled Yunchen and walked together.
Ye Xiu and Ye Xiangdong took turns to speak, and Yunchen didn't have a chance to reply for a while.
It wasn't until Ye Xiu's words stopped that Yun Chen briefly explained the events of the past few days that had started from Dongfang Ming.
Hearing that Yunchen had come here before, because a spirit beast egg was beaten to the point of losing consciousness and being buried, what had just been turned out of the ground last night, the faces of the three brothers Ye Xiu and Ye Xiangdong suddenly became extremely exciting.
Ye Xiu's face turned blue and white, white and blue, thinking of the spirit beast eggshell that he picked up on the road that day and the fact that he had returned home and told Ye Shangjing that he had beaten a homeless child to death, these two things were connected and then heard Yunchen say this, Ye Xiu immediately knew what was going on with this matter.
The three brothers Ye Xiangdong glanced at each other, and they also vaguely confirmed, but no one said anything nonsense.
"That spirit beast egg of yours is fiery red?did you break it and swallow it at that time?Also, it was a little girl and a teenager who wanted that egg?" Ye Xiu confirmed again.
Yunchen nodded, looking at the chasing wind who was jumping on the ground, and couldn't understand how this fat bird was pestering him.
Ye Xiu followed Yunchen's line of sight and nodded silently, the spirit beast egg was eaten by Yunchen, but the eggshell was pecked by Chasing Wind, the two may have some kind of induction in the dark, so Chasing Wind entangled Yunchen. Ye Xiu said, "Child, no matter what grievances you have suffered, Grandpa will be the master for you!" After speaking, he turned his head sideways and took a deep breath.
"Grandpa, when I was buried in the ground, I felt that it had been a long time, plus I had been delayed for a few days these days, I couldn't stay here for a long time this time, and I had to go to Yinluo Mountain. "Go to Yinluo Mountain to find Yue Wuya and borrow the soul seal, Yunchen remembers it very well.
"Yin Luo Mountain?" Ye Xiu muttered to himself, feeling a little familiar, and soon his face changed greatly, and he asked anxiously, "Child, what are you going to do in that place?"
"I'm going there to borrow something. Yunchen replied.
"Do you know what kind of place it is?it is a famous murderous place, Yin Luo Mountain Lord Yin Wuxian is a top-level demon, he can easily kill people and sacrifice souls without saying a word......" Ye Xiu took a deep breath, thinking of the fact that Yin Wusoul had slaughtered two great sects with Fa Tian powerhouses overnight because of a word that made him dislike, Ye Xiu was a little frightened. Ordinary people wanted to avoid the demon of Yin Soulless, and he couldn't figure out how Bai Yunchen could deal with that kind of fierce demon.
"I promised to go to him and borrow something for him, if I don't go, he will kill someone. Seeing that Ye Xiu knew about Yinluo Mountain, Yunchen breathed a sigh of relief, more than eight thousand miles, if he alone, he didn't know when he would go.
"You help Yin Wusoul borrow something?" Ye Xiu was a big head again, he heard that Yunchen was going to Yin Luo Mountain to borrow something, and he thought that he was going to help someone borrow something from Yin Wusoul, but he didn't expect that he was helping Yin Wusoul borrow something. Ye Xiu was puzzled again, Yin Luo Mountain was a land without a soul, why did he ask a young man to come to his land to help him borrow something?
Yunchen told him again about the encounter with a soulless soul chasing a middle-aged woman.
When he heard that Yunchen said that he decided to help her because he saw that the middle-aged woman was obsessed with saving her son, Ye Xiu took a deep look at Yunchen and sighed silently.
"It's home!" Ye Xiangdong reminded, and Ye Xiu realized that he had returned to the front of the house unconsciously.
Ye Xiu led Yunchen back to the hall, where Ye Xiangnan was already waiting with an old woman. As soon as the old woman saw Yunchen who was following Ye Xiu, she was very excited to greet her.
"Grandma......" Yunchen grabbed the old woman's hand and called softly.
"Chen'er...... I heard that you came over, but it can make grandma happy for a while...... I'm sorry for you, quick, come, go and change your clothes first!" Yun Chen couldn't help but say, and the old woman took Yun Chen's hand and walked to the back hall.
When Yunchen's back disappeared, Ye Xiu looked at Ye Xiangnan, who was standing quietly, and said in a deep voice, "What about the little beast in Shangjing?"
Ye Xiangnan sighed secretly, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and he couldn't hide it after all, he replied: "Shang Jing and Ling'er went to his grandfather's house with his mother just now." ”
Ye Xiu snorted and asked in a cold voice, "Do you know about this?"
Ye Xiangnan didn't deny it, he nodded, and said: "On the day of chasing the wind and spitting fire, I heard Ling'er say that the young man was inquiring about our family, I went to the landfill post to confirm that it was indeed Yunchen, and after thinking about it, I buried him." ”
With a "snap", Ye Xiu slapped Ye Xiangnan in the face, and he said angrily: "Yunchen is your sister's only son! You actually buried that child alive in order to help Shang Jing's little beast hide this? Do you still have humanity?"
Ye Xiangnan didn't care about the blood stains dripping from the corners of his mouth, he knelt down in front of Ye Xiu, raised his right hand, and said: "Heaven and earth can be learned, I didn't have the intention of murdering that child, he died at that time! When I went to the landfill post, he had indeed been dead for a long time! I don't dare to let you know about this, if your temper knew about this, you would definitely be able to beat Shang Jing to death! I don't dare to let you know, do you want to let you lose a grandson because of this?"
"Sophistry! What nonsense! He's here now, and you say he's dead? Do you say that this kid in our family now has some kind of powerful possession and returns?" Ye Xiu was so angry that his beard kept shaking.
"Xiang Nan didn't dare! That kid was sure to be dead at the time! I would never dare to talk nonsense about this! Also, if he hadn't died, those city patrol guards wouldn't have sent him to a place like the landfill post!" Ye Xiangnan's face did not change, and his tone was chiseled.
Ye Xiu couldn't help but hesitate this time, he knew Ye Xiangnan's temperament best, otherwise he wouldn't have relied so much on this son on weekdays. He frowned and glanced into the back hall and asked, "Are you sure that my Yunchen child was really dead at that time?"
"Sure!" Ye Xiangnan replied in a nutshell.
Ye Xiu's face changed again and again, and he walked a few steps in annoyance, and said, "Go and bring me the city patrol guard that day! Ye Xiu pointed towards the back hall.
After a while, Ye Xiangdong, who had been driven out, hurried back and nodded at Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu and Ye Xiangdong went out of the door, and there were a few armor soldiers outside the door, who were the same people who carried Yunchen away that day.
"Master Ye......" Several armor soldiers saw Ye Xiu hurriedly saluting.
Ye Xiu waved his hand and said, "A few days ago, my Shangjing grandson and his party beat a homeless child to death, are you sure about this?"
Hearing Ye Xiu's question, several armor soldiers hesitated a little, they couldn't guess what Ye Xiu meant by this.
"You just have to tell me, was that street boy dead at that time?" Ye Xiu asked again.
"This is certain, we have confirmed it, if we didn't die, we wouldn't have come to inform us of this, let alone send people to the landfill post all the way away!"
Ye Xiuding fixed his gaze on the eyes of several armor soldiers, and after a moment, he took off the money bag on his waist and threw it into the hands of one of the armor soldiers, then turned around and walked into the door.
Ye Xiu returned to the front hall, sat down heavily on the main seat, and was silent.
"Old man, what did the second brother say...... Is Yunchen really dead?" Ye Xiangxi asked as he broke his silence.
Ye Xiu looked at Ye Xiangnan and said, "You shouldn't have hidden it from me at that time, you should have told me when you knew that it was Yunchen who died......
Hearing Ye Xiu say this, Ye Xiangxi and Ye Xiangbei glanced at each other, and it was difficult to hide the shock and confusion in their eyes, since Yunchen had died a few days ago, what was the matter with Yunchen who was now in the inner hall?
"Get up, we have to think about this matter in the long run......" Ye Xiu's tone was a little weak.
Ye Xiangnan stood up silently and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Wait a minute, pay attention, don't talk nonsense, say the wrong thing!" Ye Xiu was a little suspicious of what he said earlier, how could an ordinary person be resurrected after he died?
The four brothers of the Ye family had different faces, and nodded in unison, and the atmosphere in the front hall was a little depressed for a while.
The old woman came out with Yunchen, who had taken a bath and changed into a new dress.
The old woman smiled and said, "We haven't seen Chen'er for two years, we have grown so much taller, and our body frame is also strong!"
Ye Xiu and the others glanced at each other, Ye Xiu laughed, and naturally talked to Yunchen about some interesting things he had in the Ye family before.
Yunchen felt strange, he had almost forgotten about the little things in the past, and he could only smile and echo.
Ye Xiu's heart sank, and when he talked about the past, Yunchen echoed it, and he didn't see him say anything. Also, Ye Xiu deliberately mixed in some things that didn't exist at all, and Yunchen also smiled and agreed.
"Yunchen, you said, if a person dies, can he still come back to life?" After a moment's hesitation, Ye Xiu asked such a question again.
"How can you come back to life after you are dead...... Yun Chen replied without thinking, and suddenly he remembered the firebird that kept dying and resurrecting in his mind before, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There may also be some way to come back to life." ”
Ye Xiu stared at Yun Chen's eyes tightly, Yun Chen looked at him, Ye Xiu's burning gaze made him feel very uncomfortable, he turned his head sideways, avoiding Ye Xiu's divine gaze.
