twenty-five
Yan Yin stood on the shore of the swamp lake, looking at the shallow blue light emitting from the calm surface of the lake without a trace of waves in his eyes. He may be the only person in the entire Kunlun Domain who hopes that Bai will wake up, he hopes that everyone can experience the pain and despair of losing everything, and he hopes that those people can watch everything about themselves being taken away by others but unable to do anything.
Yan Yin always knew that his sister felt guilty about him from the bottom of his heart, but for some reason he would never feel distressed again because of a look or action of Jiang Xingque like he did when he was a child, and from the day he heard that Jiang Xingge who came out of nowhere in the Yan family replaced him, his heart seemed to never have a trace of emotion other than resentment.
Ten years ago, he watched his father and brother fall in a pool of blood, the bright red liquid flowing from their bodies almost staining everything red, and he was still called Jiang Xingyin, and he struggled to get close to them but finally fell asleep. Later, those people told him that his father and brother were dead, and they were the same people who told him that he would no longer have the surname Jiang from now on.
The once high-spirited young man dragged his weak sick body to be raised in the small courtyard behind Yan's Danfang, every time he dreamed back at midnight, he was frightened and thought that he didn't know what happened to his mother and sister, but what he was waiting for was the news of his mother's suicide, and those people seemed to still feel that it was not enough, and told him clearly word by word that the Kunlun Jiang clan had elected two new young masters.
Although I don't know why others will die, from that moment on, Yan Yin never had a trace of superfluous feelings in his heart. He invited himself to move to the Snow and Bamboo Forest of Nonjian Peak to cultivate and breathe, but in fact, it was just to be able to study the classics in the Kunlun Library, and he had made countless efforts in the past ten years, and he was finally about to wake up Bai Shen, and he only needed to prepare another container for him to be done.
That day in the small courtyard of the Snow Bamboo Forest, he seemed to tell Jiang Xingque casually and calmly that it was okay if she couldn't do it, but in fact, he was using the method of agitation to force her into his trap. Sure enough, he only set up a little bureau, and the children walked in on their own. His sister thought she was smart and only gave him half of the jade pendant, but she didn't want this to be part of his plan, so that she could lead the descendants of the Bai clan into the swamp lake and become the most perfect container for Bai to descend.
The blue light coming from the bottom of the swamp lake was much brighter than before, and Yan Yin rarely hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It seems that in less than a year, Angelica Angelica will no longer be Angelica Angelica." ”
It was another morning bell ringing, and Gu Hai and Su Zi went out early to rush to Taihua Peak because they were collected with swords. I was worried that I would be late, but I didn't want to come a moment earlier than everyone else. Today's first class is herbs and spices, to be honest, Gu Su and the others have never been interested in these, if they didn't want to behave well and get the sword back early, the two of them would have been in trouble long ago.
Unlike usual, Xie Boyu did not take out the real thing to explain to his disciples this time, but only took a painting that looked to be a few years old and a copy of "Spice Notes".
After last night's incident, Gu Hai and Su Zi saw Xie Boyu again, and their hearts were inexplicably mixed. Although the man in front of him is still very tall, he has a thin body and a poor complexion, obviously he is not yet old, but he has a few strands of gray hair on his head, and he doesn't look like the Changtian Sword Lord in the story who can make the moves of the "Dao Sword Collection" superb.
Xie Boyu unfolded the scroll in his hand, and it was a flower. The flower had ten petals, nine of which were transparent, only one of them was pure white, and its flowers were very large but the rhizomes were very small, as if they could be uprooted by a gust of wind and rain.
"This is the Nine Delusional Flowers. Xie Boyu said: "If this flower exists alone, it has no effect, and if you light the soul rejuvenation incense alone, it will only have the effect of gathering the spirit and concentrating, but if you use the Nine Delusion Flowers with the soul rejuvenation incense, you can recall the deceased." As he spoke, he motioned for everyone to open the copy of "Notes on Spices".
Gu Hai and Su Zi flipped the book to the page marked by Xie Boyu, and wrote in small letters on the top: "This spice has been extinct in the Kunlun Domain for a hundred years, and it has not been found so far." ”
Gu Hai raised his hand with some doubts, and only asked after he got Xie Boyu's permission: "Sir, why don't you collect materials and make some more when this spice is extinct, how troublesome it is to find it." Hearing this, the other disciples in the room also echoed it.
Xie Boyu struggled with where to start and how to say it more concisely and understandably, and replied: "The material for making this spice was originally the secret recipe of the Yaochi Realm, and according to legend, it was brought into the Yaochi Realm by the first Immortal Monarch from the Nine Heavens. A long time ago, Yaochi Realm would send envoys to Kunlun and Penglai Island every year. However, since the death of the previous Immortal Monarch, Luo Immortal Immortal, the Yaochi Realm has been ownerless for nearly a hundred years, and even if the You Ling Immortal Monarch took over Yaotai later, he never mentioned the matter of returning to the soul incense. ”
"Sir, how did you lose the Soul Returning Incense?"
"Also, why don't you ask for some from Penglai Island, don't they have them too?"
Seeing that Xie Boyu answered so seriously, the disciples in the room asked one by one. Xie Boyu has always been good-tempered, and he listened patiently to the babbling questions of those teenagers, and saw that he seemed to be able to answer with the same thing, so he straightened out his thoughts and walked among them and began to answer.
"I think everyone knows Bai Zhan, a hundred years ago, in order to vent his anger, Bai Zhan almost slaughtered Kunlun Yan's family overnight, and there are different opinions on the reasons, one of which is for Miss Yan at that time, Yan Bei. Xie Boyu paused, moved a chair and sat down among everyone, and continued.
"Back then, Yan Bei died in front of the Heavenly Punishment Pillar, but his soul did not disperse, Bai Zhen wanted to resurrect him with the Nine Delusion Flowers and Soul Rejuvenation Incense, but he never thought that the Four Great Families did not want to give him the Soul Rejuvenation Incense. Not only that, but the Kunlun Yan clan, who was responsible for guarding the Soul Returning Incense, also informed the Penglai Yan Clan in advance, so the four great families of the Kunlun Domain, together with the Penglai Island Yan and Xie families, selected a reliable person to bring the Soul Returning Incense to the world. ”
"After that, Bai descended into the demon, and the Kunlun Domain was in chaos?" Su Zi asked curiously.
"Yes, it happened that there was no immortal monarch in the Yaochi Realm at that time, so no one came to help, and it took several years for the four great families to lose more than half, so it was not easy to descend Bai to the foot of Yujing Peak. After that, each family was greatly damaged, so they closed their doors for several years, and after everything recovered, the remnants of the Yan clan had long lost contact with the person who brought incense into the world. In this way, later in the Kunlun Domain and Penglai Island, no one ever saw the soul incense again. ”
Gu Hai and Su Zi were not much interested in the story of a hundred years ago, and after listening to Xie Boyu's answer, they began to frolic again, and finally got through the nightmare until the end of class, but suddenly heard that the Nine Delusion Flowers and the Soul Returning Incense were the contents of the exam, so the two hurriedly picked up the pen and hurriedly wrote it on the booklet they carried, looking like they could write as much as they could, regardless of whether they could read the words on it or not.
Seeing this, Xie Boyu sighed a little helplessly and said, "Haven't you learned the Finding Spell, just go to the second floor of the library building to find it when you don't have class, and go to eat." Gu Hai and Su Zi reacted suddenly, and after embarrassingly sorting out their belongings and saying goodbye to Xie Boyu, they prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Su Zi turned his head to take a look again, it turned out that it was not Fang Cai who had just seen the fork, but now Xie Boyu was thin and thin, and he was wearing a Ji Qing shirt, and suddenly he looked a little like Yan Zhou. Gu Hai saw that Su Zi had not followed for a long time, so he also turned around and looked at Su Zi's gaze, and when he saw the thin back, he suddenly understood, he took a few steps back and patted Su Zi on the shoulder, and the two of them finally didn't ask anything, and left Taihua Peak directly.
