Chapter 3: A Blessing from the Demon Cultivator
It is an ancient spell that requires blood as a medium, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a curse.
The soul of the initiator enters the body of his choice, usually the dead.
It is commonly known that borrowing a corpse to return the soul comes at the cost of only living for a few days, and then one's soul is tormented by evil spirits and finally disappears.
But the living ......
After a long time, the world in front of Ye Xuanji, who was in the formation, also began to end slowly, becoming only pitch black, without any response.
She couldn't even reach out, move her fingers, or tremble her lips.
She's going to die. But hasn't she already taken it away? What's going on?!
With such huge doubts, Ye Xuanji really died in the next second.
......
And Lingxi was after that.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes were the faces of two men, and behind them were the spacious roof tiled beams, and a gauze tent hung from top to bottom, fluttering in the wind.
"It's the third day. β
"It's the third day. β
Two different voices told at the same time. But one is cordial, while the other is blunt.
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Lingxi finally reacted from the haze that he had just woken up, and jumped up from the bed at once, as if he felt something abnormal.
And the two young men who appeared in her field of visionβ
One of them, dressed in blue and white, looked green and thin, and when he found that Lingxi was looking at him, he quickly removed his eyes like light ink, and randomly put on a proud expression on his face.
The other was dressed in red and black, heroic and well-proportioned, and when he found Lingxi looking at him, he did not dodge, but looked directly with an expressionless face, but the gaze revealed in his dark brown eyes was very gentle.
"Don't be afraid!"
β......β
Although he said this to Lingxi, Lingxi still shrunk his body into a corner.
"Cut, that's a lot of trouble!?"
The slightly thin man said disdainfully.
"Letter, speak well!"
"Shun...... She had obviously picked it up at the foot of the mountain, and if she had taken a step too late, she would have died! Why did you treat her so well? β
"After all, the way to treat others and the way to save people, Master often says......"
The voice did not fall.
β...... Why are you arguing again?"
With the sound of knocking on the door, the man who watched the three of them stood in the doorway.
The black hair that was scattered over his shoulders shone in the sun, and the costume was a white robe, and the face was ......
"See Master. The man named Shun said as he bent down.
"Hello Master. The man named Xin whispered.
Lingxi was directly stunned.
- Because isn't this the immortal cultivator who saved her, Bai Junqian?!
"Shun, didn't you say that you don't need these false courtesies? Why has it been changed for a hundred years, and it hasn't been changed. But what about you, every time you call my master, can you tone a little better......
Bai Junqian, who walked into the room, preached to his two apprentices.
Immediately, "That...... Do you remember me?" asked Lingxi, uneasy, unaware that he had interrupted the others.
Because she's so excited.
Hearing this, Bai Junqian stopped the words in his mouth and smiled at "Lingxi". At the same time, he was curious about how the woman recognized him. He was found by the jade pendant, but recognized him..... He was wearing a mask when he was in the Ye Mansion.
"Of course I do. Aren't you the daughter of the Ye family in Huazhou City?" Speaking of this, Bai Junqian paused slightly, his eyes became dark, and then he continued: "The incident at your house, I have already checked it two days ago, but it is too late, only the wreckage remains......"
β...... What else is the Ye family?What is Huazhou City?" Listening to Bai Junqian's words, many questions popped out of Lingxi's mind, and his head became even more groggy.
Then, before she could think about it, some memories came to her mind, some of them even with intense emotions.
For example, anger, sadness...... They are not short to fit with those problems just now, and solve those problems.
But Lingxi was unfamiliar with these memories and emotions, even as if they didn't belong to her, and she hadn't experienced anything like that.
Why?
"Ahh
Her head was shaking at times, and at other times she was in sharp pain. This mental pain seemed to act directly on her body, making her consciousness seem to wander in fainting and wakefulness.
"What's wrong?"
"Hey, are you alright?"
"Do you think she's okay?!"
Bai Junqian's words suddenly became excited, and then he grabbed Lingxi's hand that kept beating his head.
Lingxi raised his head with teary eyes, but he was completely unconscious in the next moment.
When she woke up again, the so-called memories that didn't belong to her became natural.
That memory is hers.
"I'm Ye Xuanji. I want to avenge the murder of my family and the killing of those demon cultivators. β
She muttered.
"At the same time, I am also a spirit. I want to be with Bai Junqian, I want to see him laugh. β
The two memories fused in her mind.
And to take it?
In the thirteen years she herself lived, she learned that those forbidden spells, powerful spells, and the like were used on her, and it seemed that they would not have the desired effect on her.
- This comes from the powerful blessing of that group of demon cultivators.
So this seizure of the sacrifice unexpectedly turned into a sacrifice? What about her original body? Why didn't she hear Bai Junqian mention it?
Or maybe it's not an accident at all.
After confirming all this, Lingxi propped up her body from the slightly scented bed and moved her limbs slightly to confirm her physical condition.
His shoulders and legs were in good condition, and when he finally lifted his clothes and looked at his chest, there was a scar that had not yet healed, as if it was still aching, like a sequelae.
I heard that after taking the house or offering it, memories and personalities will subtly merge with each other, so the irrepressible sadness and anger in her heart are normal.
Lingxi thought so, and then stepped out of bed and looked around the room, the sandalwood bookcase and the bed, and the faint sandalwood fragrance filled her like this. There is also a simple screen facing the door, and on the wall are pictures of snow scenes with chic clothes.
But it's still the middle of summer, and the darkness outside the openwork window reveals that it's night.
When he was done, Lingxi shrugged his shoulders and took a deep breath to clear up the mess. Then it's time to face reality.
Lingxi reached for the door, and with a "creak", the door was pushed open.
Crisp air flows in immediately, and the cold sensation passes through the ground and reaches the soles of your feet.
Unlike the wooden floors in the house, there are some smooth stones where your feet fall on the first step.
Fifty meters away, a wide corridor appeared, with long passages on the left and right, long enough to see the end, accompanied by hazy smoke, which inexplicably gave people an eerie feeling.
And from time to time, there is still the sound of being blown and swayed by the wind in the surrounding area.
"Why is there no one?" Lingxi muttered to himself.
Then, even if Lingxi stepped out of his steps, the atmosphere around him was still very quiet.
So she began to walk in all directions along the corridor, but after walking for a while, she stopped.
"What's the matter? Why can't you even find your way back?" she muttered, holding her head.
Not far away, however, a room appeared, similar to the one in front of her.
"Found it. β
She said with some excitement. Then he rushed straight over, without asking for anyone's consent.
Then the big mistake came -
"Is it Shun? Why did you come here for so long, quickly bring the soap corner, and the teacher is almost finished. β
Behind the illuminated screen, a vague figure was reflected.
Accompanied by the sound of water droplets.
"What's going on?
"Shun?"
β......β
Because he didn't get an answer for a long time, Bai Junqian felt a little strange, and then got up from the bathtub, and his whole body appeared on the screen.
However, before he could get out.
"Ahh
Lingxi, who was stunned by the scene in front of him from the first step into the house, shouted.
Her head seemed to be out of motion, and in just a few seconds, the blood from all over her body was concentrated on her face, and a layer of redness quickly rose on her face, and it spread to her neck.
The feeling of shame also invaded quickly, and she covered her eyes violently and tried to run out, but just as she turned to take that step, she tripped over the doorrail and planted her head directly on the ground, making a dull loud noise.
As soon as Bai Junqian heard that it was a female voice, he quickly grabbed the clothes that were placed on the screen, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and his heart was pounding.
He also knew who it was, after all, there was only one woman on this mountain.
"Ahem. Miss Ye, why did you get here? There's obviously an enchantment outside. Bai Junqian said in a somewhat strange tone as he walked out from behind the screen.
On the surface, he pretended to be calm, but in his heart he wanted to find a corner to get into, regretting what he just said.
But what he didn't know was that Lingxi had just fainted because his head hit the ground.
When he saw it, he was stunned for a while, on the one hand, he was ashamed of his reaction.
On the other hand, the moonlight fell into the house outside, and his white jade skin shone in the moonlight, and the raindrops on his hair fell to the ground, but they seemed to splash ripples somewhere.
I've seen it once before, and that feeling comes again.
The next day, when Lingxi woke up, he had already returned to his house.
There were still two people standing on the side, Shun and Xin, and the expressions of the two of them were surprisingly consistent today.
Cold and indifferent.
This made Lingxi feel confused.
"Please leave as soon as possible, Master has already arranged a place for you to live at the bottom of the mountain. Shun said.
β...... For ......"
"Ethereal Mountain is not a place where you can stay when you are just starting to cultivate immortals, and Ethereal Mountain is little known, and for a long time, there is an unwritten rule that outsiders are not allowed to stay. You've been there for so many days, it's okay!"
As soon as Lingxi wanted to ask something, Xin directly interrupted her words and answered all her so-called questions.
This made Lingxi's expression stiffen.
"Also, your family's affairs have been taken care of by Master, and what happened after that my master is powerless, life and death are ......"
"But I want to stay! I want to avenge my family. β
Lingxi blurted out, driven by the longing of his heart, and his tone was tough.
These two sentences obviously contain two completely different emotions, but they fit each other in the dark.
This made Shun, who had just spoken, not continue to say the next words, and the air flowed slowly in the confrontation with each other.
Immediately, just when Lingxi, who was stiff and stiff, was about to give up, but with a serious face, he spit out a long breath, as if resigned to fate, and said: "Master, it's up to you to say it yourself! We can't figure it out! Isn't it just that I was seen taking a bath yesterday, and I am very old and shy about a little girl like this." Let's make up some mess to trick ......."
"Shut up!
Suddenly, a figure flew into the room, covering the letter's mouth with his hand.
- It's Bai Junqian.
"Woo woo ......" Xin moved back and forth trying to break free, but was further dragged out of the house, and Bai Junqian also motioned for Shun to come out.
Lingxi looked confused.
And Shun, who was already about to turn around and leave, suddenly turned his head to her and said, "This outer corridor is not an ordinary corridor, but a nearby passage composed of spells, which can also be regarded as an enchantment, which connects all the places of this ethereal mountain. And there is more than one mountain in Ethereal Mountain, it is just a general term, it is made up of several mountains. You didn't go anywhere else this time, and it only took you a little more than an hour to find a place to live, so you're in luck. β
This made Lingxi even more confused.
But, anyway......
"Does that mean I don't have to leave right away?" Lingxi began to roll around on the bed wrapped in the quilt.
βββββββββββββββββ
Then, a few days later, or even a month later, Lingxi was left with a dead face.
Her dependence on Bai Junqian seemed to be innate, and when she saw Bai Junqian before, she seemed to have a sense of familiarity as if she had known Bai Junqian for a long time.
This is something she can't suppress, and that's what she just realized.
During this time, Lingxi was taken around and figured out this ethereal mountain.
This ethereal mountain is composed of four peaks, but they can be directly connected, occupying a circle of hundreds of miles, forming an east-west direction, which means that as long as you go in this direction, you will not get lost.
One of the streamer peaks has a waterfall with jade flowers splashing.
A holly peak has a pool of slippery hot springs.
A Tianji Peak has a clear and quiet stream.
The last one was covered in black mist, which was daunting, and it was the only one that Lingxi had never visited.
And these mountain peaks are scattered with pavilions and palaces, looming in the smoke, showing mystery, the scenery is full of scenery, it can be called a fairyland.
In such a comfortable environment, the excitement in Lingxi's heart seemed to have been in the upper hand during this time, and the sadness was temporarily forgotten.
It's just this day.
"There's no use for you to stay here, so why waste your time here?"
Bai Junqian finally caught the spirit of his personality that had become more and more naughty and bold recently.
And in the face of his serious and serious attitude, he gave up the option of being sloppy and obscuring the status quo before, and then tried his best to convey his sincerity to Jun Qian with a sincere attitude.
"I want revenge and stay by your side!" Lingxi replied.
"Huh?"
In the face of the sudden inexplicable words, Bai Junqian could understand the front, but he was a little overwhelmed by the fact that he didn't want to stay by your side.
I didn't react for a long time.
Then, "This ethereal mountain is beautiful to listen to, and it's normal that you want to stay here." He said something that was not at all focused on what Lingxi had just said.
"I don't mean that, I also want to be your apprentice, like Shun and Xin, so that your master will always stay by your side and learn spells from you. When I succeed in my studies, I can keep it. Lingxi retorted sincerely.
"......" This situation, this scene, and these words, Bai Junqian didn't know how to react, and he was ashamed of what he only saw just now.
"If you don't speak, I'll take you as a promise!"
β...... Huh?" Bai Junqian looked at a loss.
"Promise! Lingxi preached with some excitement. But it's not just about keeping it up, the phrase 'stay by your side' can also be understood in layman's terms.
"It's not...... This ......"
......
At this point, Lingxi wants to help the Ye Xuanji in her memory take revenge, because she also has that sad mood.
