“……”

To be honest, looking at the four options in the light curtain in front of him, Chu Ming hesitated.

It stands to reason that if he followed his character in the past, he would definitely choose to obtain the qualifications and talents of Xi Zijin, after all, the other party was the sect master of the Blazing Immortal Sect!

Even if it is possible to obtain a bad constitution, there must be a solution to it, so this problem is not a problem at all.

Even if it is not good, obtaining the attributes and cultivation of Yu Zijin can help him improve his strength a lot.

But this time, Chu Ming stared at the fourth line, [Exploring Part of the Life Experience of the Owner of the Item] was stunned, holding his chin and falling into contemplation.

Maybe this one can be chosen this time?

After all, the intimacy between this purse and Yu Zijin is too low, even if she obtains her qualifications and talents, there will be no high-quality entries.

Rather than this, it is better to learn about the past of Yu Zijin, and maybe you can brush up on her favorability and get more intimate items with her.

"That's it."

After thinking about it, Chu Ming chose the fourth reward.

In an instant, as his low groan fell, the pale blue light curtain in front of him suddenly enlarged and enveloped him, and then the surrounding light instantly dissipated as if it was absorbed by a black hole, and the whole world suddenly fell into endless darkness.

“……”

Because of the experience of exploring Wu Zui's past, Chu Ming was extremely calm and calm this time, and even considered whether there was any pattern in this fourth reward.

Could it be that the past time is also a random exploration?

[Back in time? Years ago, when Yu Zijin first fell into the dream road. 】

"Master!"

This heart-rending call directly brought Chu Ming to his senses.

With the light in front of his eyes, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he shuddered as he looked at the terrifying scene like a sea of corpses and blood around him.

Here it is...... The decisive battle place between the five major sects of the Northern Regions and the people of the evil path?

Because he had seen this shocking human purgatory when he was in the Great Competition of the Inner Sect, this scene was deeply imprinted in Chu Ming's mind, and he could not forget it for a long time.

As the black mist slowly dissipated, a white-bearded old man in a white robe stood on top of the pile of corpses, his cloudy and deep eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and it was difficult to see what he was thinking.

He was dressed cleanly and freshly, without any dust or blood stains on his body, and he did not fit in with his surroundings.

And in front of him, a thin girl was sitting in the pile of corpses, her white dress was stained with blood, her expression was sluggish, her bloodless thin lips trembled violently, and her delicate face revealed a deep sense of horror.

She lifted her trembling arms and gripped the heavy hand that poked out of the pile of corpses.

Bloodless, pale and weak, it seemed that its owner had long since lost its life.

Chu Ming looked at the girl's gradually desperate face, pursed his lips, and then couldn't help but sigh a few times.

It turned out that Aunt Jin was so young at the time.

"Ahh

Yu Zijin suddenly scratched his cheek and screamed, such a frightened appearance made the old man frown, and the old man's right hand poked out.

Suddenly, a gentle fluctuation enveloped Xi Zijin, and when her mood stabilized a little, the old man sighed lightly, and there seemed to be a hint of apology in his tone.

"Jin'er, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Master......"

The beautiful eyes of the young man trembling sharply looked at the old man in front of him, his jade hands were clenched, and his teeth were biting his soft lips, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.

She wanted to blame the old man in front of her, but the master-apprentice relationship between the two made it impossible for her to utter those questioning words, so she could only tremble.

"All Dead......

"It's okay, we have many elite disciples who didn't come to participate in this decisive battle, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune."

The corners of the old man's mouth hooked up an indifferent smile, and he immediately reached out and gently stroked the head of the old man, and when he just wanted to say comfort, his expression was suddenly stunned.

"Where's your Dao Heart?"

"Dao Heart?"

He smiled, his eyes scanning the corpses all over the surrounding mountains, his eyes full of despair.

"It's all dead, what's the use of wanting a Dao heart?"

"You...... Alas! ”

The old man stared at the pretty face covered with blood, his brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly fell into a brief silence.

Obviously, because the impact of the scene in front of him was too strong, it caused the Dao heart of Yu Zijin to be damaged.

As the name suggests, a broken Dao heart refers to the loss of faith in continuing to cultivate because of certain things on one's current cultivation path.

In other words, the belief in cultivation is completely replaced by another emotion.

Say, hate.

"I will find those evil people and slaughter them one by one."

Yu Zijin said very calmly, and there was no emotion in his expression and deep eyes.

But it was such an indifferent appearance that made the old man's heart suddenly frightened.

Finished!

Her mind and soul have been corrupted by vengeance!

What to do?

"Jin'er, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Yu Zijin turned to leave, the old man hurriedly stopped her and comforted her softly.

"Jin'er, in fact, in this decisive battle with the people of the evil way, the losses of our Blazing Immortal Sect are not as great as you imagined, and most of the dead are disciples of the Tianyan Sect."

"Aren't they all the same?"

Xi Zijin looked back and glanced at the old man with a cold expression, his tone was light but extremely firm.

"They are all heroes of my Northern Regions, so what does it matter if they are not the same sect?"

“……”

Seeing that he couldn't comfort the stubbornness in his heart, the old man couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then the old man's right hand was raised slightly.

In the next second, Yu Zijin fell to the ground with a delicate body and fell into a coma.

"Your belief in cultivating the Fire Dao has been completely replaced by hatred, if you continue like this, one day you will go mad, no different from those evil people."

"So, Jin'er, I intend to separate your hatred from your divine sense, take it with the fire path you have cultivated, and give you a new path."

"Dream Dao, maybe this Dao line is very suitable for you, I hope you will think seriously about what I said when you wake up."

"And your hatred and fire, I'll put them into the Floating Illusion."

"In this way, if you have attained some attainments on the way to dreams, and you can completely control your emotions, then go to the Floating Illusion to take back the other side of yourself and form a complete self."

As soon as these words were finished, the scene in front of Chu Ming's eyes faded like a tide.

"Chu Ming?"

"Chu Ming!"

After several calls, Chu Ming trembled and suddenly came back to his senses, realizing that he had escaped from the illusion just now.

In front of her, An Muqing was waving her jade hand in front of her, her face full of suspicion.

"Why can you stand in the yard in a daze?"

“……”

Chu Ming pursed his lips and did not speak, but glanced at Yu Zijin not far away, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

It turns out that Aunt Jin still has such a past?

Because she saw the human tragedy of the decisive battle between the five major sects of the Northern Regions and the people of the evil path, her Dao heart was damaged, and her master forcibly separated the hatred in her heart from the fire path, and sealed them in the realm of floating illusions......

Floating Illusion?

Dream Road?

Oneiroi essence?

Chu Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he suddenly realized that there seemed to be some ulterior secrets in this.

Could it be that Aunt Jin plans for me and An Muqing to go to the Floating Illusion to explore, in order to find her other self that contains hatred?

Wait a minute!

It's a bit confusing!

Didn't the old man say that only when Aunt Jin had attained something in the dream path could he go to the Floating Illusion to find the other side of his seal?

But isn't it a contradiction that the Floating Life Illusion is aimed at people who have cultivated to a high level?

Could it be that Aunt Jin's master would never want her to regain her hatred?

Chu Ming felt that his thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't even notice that he had stared at Xi Zijin for a long time, which made An Muqing on the side couldn't help but feel jealous, and kicked his ass with a grudge on his face.

"Why have you been staring at my master for so long? It's not enough to have me, do you still think about others? ”

"Mu Qing!"

Hearing An Muqing's words, Chu Ming hadn't come back to his senses, but Yan Zijin's face was slightly red, and he immediately reprimanded with a serious expression.

"This hasn't left the Blazing Immortal Sect yet, you dare to make a joke as a teacher."

"If you leave with Ming'er, I'm afraid you won't get the root of your tongue to chew everywhere."

"How dare the disciple."

An Muqing smiled and hurriedly ran to Shu Zijin's side to hold her arm, and stood on tiptoe to say soft words in her ear while being coquettish, which made her angry appearance sooth.

"Chu Ming, is there something you're staring at me?"

"No, it's just that I'm about to leave, and I'm a little reluctant to Aunt Jin."

"I will pick up good things."

Although he was disgusted, the gentle smile on the corner of his mouth still widened, and there was even a faint hint of coquettishness, which made Chu Ming's expression suddenly clenched his fists.

In any case, if you have the opportunity, you may be able to explore this matter in depth.

"Master, if there's nothing to do, then we'll go."

"Hmm."

After some reluctance, An Muqing called out the chariot and dragged Chu Ming up, and immediately drove into a streamer and disappeared at the junction of the mountains and the sky in the distance, with a beautiful dreamy sense against the background of the morning light.

"Take care all the way."

Yu Zijin looked into the distance with a worried expression, his hands clenched in front of his chest, and there were always some faint palpitations in his heart for some reason.

"Let's hope nothing happens."

……

"What kind of person was Aunt Jin?"

In the chariot, An Muqing, who was originally sitting on the couch and concentrating on controlling the chariot, slowly opened her eyes after hearing Chu Ming's inquiry, and immediately narrowed slightly, with a hint of vigilance flashing in it.

"Why do you ask this?"

"You're too easily jealous."

Chu Ming hurriedly climbed onto the couch and hugged An Muqing tightly in his arms from behind, leaning down in her ear and whispering.

"Although I recognize her as Aunt Jin, I don't know about her past, and I feel that this is indeed a bit inappropriate."

"You've only known her for a few days? Wouldn't it be normal not to understand. ”

An Muqing leaned on Chu Ming's strong chest and spoke thoughtfully.

"I don't know much about Shizun's past."

"After I separated from my sister back then, I fled to the border of the Blazing Immortal Sect, but I was still chased and intercepted by the people sent by the national teacher."

"But fortunately, the master rescued me and accepted me as an apprentice, so that I have the status of the Holy Maiden of the Blazing Immortal Sect today."

"So I respect my master very much, she has always been synonymous with gentleness in my heart, I hardly see her angry, at most she scolds me a few words when I sneak out, and imprisons me for a few days."

"But I know it's all a sign of my master's love for me."

"That's ...... so"

Chu Ming nodded slightly as if he didn't understand, and then suddenly asked with a change of words.

"Then did your master ever hate certain people or certain organizations, such as those on the Northern Regions Killing List?"

"Nope."

An Muqing shook her head without hesitation.

"Even if those people did a lot of evil, and even brutally killed our disciples of the Blazing Flame Immortal Sect, Shizun she never showed hatred, but just stepped up to send people to deal with it."

"For this reason, there are often voices in the sect that are dissatisfied with her master, saying that she is gentle as jade on the surface, but in fact, she is dark and indifferent in her heart, and she has no sympathy and pity at all."

And so it was!

As soon as he heard An Muqing's words, Chu Ming couldn't help but suddenly realize, and his heart suddenly opened.

It seems that all of Xi Zijin's hatred has been stripped from his divine consciousness by his master.

In that case, this trip to the Floating Illusion is dangerous......

After all, there is a "doppelganger" in it that condenses the hatred of Yu Zijin!

If they meet, won't she and Mu Qing have to be separated by her hand?

As soon as he thought of this, Chu Ming couldn't help but tremble, and the slight tremor of this body also made An Muqing in his arms feel it, and immediately raised his head in confusion.

"What's wrong?"

"Something bad came to mind."

"What's bad?"

"I can't say."

“？？？”

Seeing Chu Ming's dodging gaze, An Muqing's eyebrows raised slightly, and with an angry face, she slammed the back of her head into his chin, causing him to fall to the cramped couch with a cry of pain.

"What do you do......"

Before Chu Ming could finish speaking, An Muqing straddled up, supporting his chest with both hands and said viciously.

"You do it every time! I always like to stop in the middle of doing something, and so is talking! ”

"How can I!"

"Still say no?"

An Muqing's face twisted her slender waist slightly, and she couldn't help but complain in her mouth.

"When you were cultivating the Hehuan Heart Sutra, you liked to let me say something shameful before continuing to cultivate, isn't it?"

"That's sentiment, you know? Mood! ”

Chu Ming spread his hands and said helplessly.

"What's more, you're crying and screaming too much...... I can't stand it...... Don't cover my mouth! ”

"Let you talk nonsense again!"

An Muqing blushed and tightly covered Chu Ming's mouth with both hands, but the defense was lost, and his powerful arms tightly framed his slender waist, and his gentle big hands reached into the dress, constantly lingering on the slippery beautiful back and straight jade buttocks.

"Don't make a fuss! I also use my mind to control the chariot! ”

"Don't delay driving and riding a horse."

"You...... Not! ”
