Du Ye's tone was cold, which made Ling Huayin feel shocked, "Murder?"

Du Ye said: "Those people are all members of the ghost and witch clan in the south, you must have heard of it in the human world, the ghost and witch clan have always believed in their demon refiners, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice human lives in order to refine the blood spirit beads, because they had killed too many people, and their clan was also punished by the ghost king, and none of the clansmen could live long, and after they died, they would have to suffer all kinds of torture in the underworld, and they could only enter reincarnation after the sins of the world were redeemed." However, most of the people could not stand the punishment of hell, so the ghosts and witches preferred to never enter reincarnation rather than suffer in the underworld, so they agreed to sacrifice their bodies to those who received the art of eternal life. ”

Ling Huayin suddenly fell silent. For the sake of a blood bead, so many innocent lives have to be sacrificed, and those children who have not even had time to grow up have been deprived of their lives because of the ignorance and mistakes of the clansmen.

"Why should the Ghost Witch Clan be obsessed with the Blood Spirit Bead?" Ling Huayin felt that the Blood Spirit Bead was not just used to collect souls as Situ Yan said, it must have other uses.

I only heard Du Ye say: "Have you ever heard that there is a Soul Gathering Stone in the Earth Realm, and the Blood Spirit Bead is actually made of imitation of it, but its strength is far inferior to that of the Soul Gathering Stone. The price of obtaining the Soul Stone is too great, and legend has it that only the dying can see it, and to get it is to exchange it for the blood of the most important person, otherwise you will pay for your life. Many people died the moment they saw it. There was once a ghost witch who wanted to get it and exchange it for his wife's blood, but his wife was not the love of his life, so this man angered the resentment in the Soul Gathering Stone and broke it off on his own. ”

Situ Yan raised his head instantly, "According to your meaning, if there is no blood that can be exchanged, you will not be able to get the Soul Gathering Stone?"

"This is the rule set by the Ghost King. If you want to break out of the cycle of the Three Realms, you have to pay a huge price. The Ghost Witch Clan believes that the Blood Spirit Bead can not only collect souls, but also allow souls to stay in the world forever and not be taken away by the Earth Lord, so as to obtain eternal life. The funny thing is that the more people pursue immortality, the shorter their lifespan becomes. It's just that the people in the city of the illusory realm are much luckier than others because they have been favored by the city lord. ”

Ling Huayin looked at Du Ye and said, "You said that the people in the Illusory City all use other people's bodies, but what about you? You also use the bodies of the ghost and witch clans?" Ling Huayin faintly felt that Du Ye and Su Yan must have some kind of connection, although she didn't really want to admit this connection.

"I don't know if he is a ghost or a witch, when I accepted this body, the man was coming to the illusory realm with a weak child, begging the city lord to save the child's life, he is willing to pay the price of his life, not for the law of eternal life, only for the city lord to let the child stay away from the curse of the ghost witch clan, grow up healthy, and spend his life in peace. Originally, I thought that the lord would refuse his request, but the lord agreed, and made the child the only person in the city of illusion who could maintain his form without receiving the art of immortality. ”

Ling Huayin suppressed the speculation in her heart and continued to ask, "What else did he say, or could he have any scrolls or something like that?"

Du Ye thought for a while and replied, "I only know that he is from the human world, and the rest is only known to the city lord." When we met, the girl mistook me for me, but did she know the original owner of this body?"

Ling Huayin secretly lowered her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was sorry or sad, and her heart gradually became sour, "That person is my senior brother, I thought I would be able to see him again in this life, but I didn't expect the world to be changeable, and he was no longer there...... But I've never heard him talk about his background, so I'm not sure if it's him......"

Du Ye was silent for a moment, as if he was infected by Ling Huayin's emotions, and his speech softened a lot: "If the girl wants to know more about the original owner of this body, you can ask the child, who is the person I told you about crossing the sea." By the way, if I remember correctly, the girl's senior brother is called Su Yan, right? The child he brought to the Illusory City is also surnamed Su, and his name is Su Mu. ”

That night, after talking with Du Ye, Ling Huayin couldn't sleep all night, so she sat alone on the roof in a daze, sat for a while, only to hear the sound of clothes behind her, and Situ Yan sat beside her. Ling Huayin turned her head to look at him, but no one spoke. The atmosphere between the two was a little inexplicably subtle.

In the end, it was Ling Huayin who broke the silence, "It's impossible to go to the realm to find a way to gather souls, what are you going to do next?"

"There is no way to do it. Situ Yan was as optimistic as ever, "It's you, are you okay?"

"My mood is very complicated now, I used to hope that Du Ye was my senior brother, but I didn't want to recognize me, and now, I hope that Du Ye is just a person who looks very similar to my senior brother. Although I have never forgiven my brother, and I have thought about asking him to make an explanation for his previous behavior, I still feel uncomfortable to hear that he may no longer be alive. Ling Huayin, who had taken off her guard, showed a trace of loneliness and sadness, and looked extremely weak.

On weekdays, I only see Ling Huayin's strong and fearless, awe-inspiring justice and pride, but I don't see her sad appearance, or for a negative man who has the hatred of killing a teacher, Situ Yan only feels extremely unhappy in his heart, but he doesn't know where to talk about this feeling. And this kind of feeling is something he has never experienced since he had a memory.

"If Su Yan was still here, what would you say to him?" Situ Yan was suddenly curious.

Ling Huayin shook her head lightly and said, "Actually, I didn't think I would face him again, and I don't know what else to say to him." Maybe it's to ask if he has any regrets over the years. ”

"In your opinion, Su Yan, what kind of person is it?" Situ Yan took an unprecedented interest in a person who had nothing to do with him.

Ling Huayin looked at the red moon in the distant sky, and said: "In my impression, Senior Brother is a very upright person, and he also takes care of his junior brothers and sisters. Many times I feel that if my senior brother hadn't appeared, maybe I wouldn't have been able to spend those days in Dongling Mountain at all. ”

Situ Yan was silent for a while, and asked, "The person you said before who taught you the way to survive is your senior brother?"

Ling Huayin smiled slightly, shook her head, and said with nostalgia: "No, no, he may be the person I will never be able to reach in my life, a teacher and a friend, which is incomparable to anyone." It was like a light in the darkness that illuminated the road in front of me and made me understand the meaning of my existence. ”

“...... I've never seen you like this. Situ Yan stared at Ling Huayin's side face and said coldly.

Ling Huayin looked at him suspiciously, "How is this?"

"I just think today's Linghua is a little different. Situ Yan turned his head to look ahead, his gaze was calm, his eyes were as vast as a galaxy, clear without a trace of impurities. Although it is a bit overwhelming to say this, I also hope that in the future, I can be the light in Linghua's heart. ”

Ling Huayin looked at Situ Yan in astonishment, as if she had just misheard those words, but she saw Situ Yan raise a warm smile and said, "Today's words are all heartfelt words. Hearing this, Ling Huayin couldn't help but feel a little ripple in her heart, and it was difficult to calm down.

The next morning, Ling Huayin and Situ Yan followed Du Ye to the Sea of No Return to find the sea crosser named Su Mu. On the way, I saw that the weather changed suddenly, the desert set off a strong wind, and the sky that was still cold and snowy suddenly turned into night, a red moon in the sky, and the two parallel spaces of heaven and earth gradually merged. Du Ye noticed the abnormality and immediately stopped, and Ling Huayin and Situ Yan also grabbed the reins of the horse.

Looking from afar, I saw a black-clothed young man slowly walking under the red moon, as the young man gradually approached, Ling Huayin saw the appearance of the young man clearly, sword eyebrows and high nose, cold and delicate, unruly waves, the heroic stubbornness between the eyebrows is the same as Su Yan, but the childishness has not taken off, and it looks like he is only 7 or 8 years old. Ling Huayin looked at the young man's clothes again, and saw a silver longevity lock hanging on the young man's chest, and a glass jade pendant tied with a tassel fell from his waist. She immediately determined the identity of the young man, and he must be the son of Su Yan and Li Nianxin. I don't know what the mood is at the moment, I just feel sad and happy, sad is to see this child and remember the past, the old love is no more, happy because I can see the son of the old man again in this life, I feel relieved.

"What's your name?" Ling Huayin jumped off the horse, facing the young man with the shadow of the old man, and asked out loud.

The young man raised his head, staring at Ling Huayin with bright eyes, as if an old friend was reunited, and an innocent smile gradually rose on his indifferent face.

"Su Mu, my name is Su Mu. The young man looked at Ling Huayin, who was a head taller than him, with warm and sincere eyes, as if he had seen an old friend, "Have we met somewhere?"

Ling Huayin smiled faintly and did not answer.

Du Ye looked at the two of them, a little surprised by the young man's performance today, he was always indifferent to strangers on weekdays, and he didn't say a word, but when he saw Ling Huayin, Su Mu smiled for the first time.

"Su Mu, these two are the guests of the city lord, Ling Huayin and Situ Yan, they came to the sea of no return to find someone, so they specially came to you for a favor. Du Ye said to Su Mu.

Su Mu glanced at Du Ye, then looked at Ling Huayin again, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Ling Huayin replied: "Bai Yi, a disciple of the Emperor Mountain Xianze Palace in the Human Realm, we have been looking for him for a long time, and I heard that he fled here from the Human Realm, I wonder if you can help us find him?"

Su Mu thought for a moment and said, "If you want to find someone, I can take you there, but I have one condition, if you agree, I will help you." ”

"Su Mu!" Du Ye said a warning, intending to remind him that this was a guest specially explained by the city lord to be entertained.

However, Su Mu ignored it, squinted at Du Ye, and then looked at Ling Huayin again, waiting for her answer.

Ling Huayin said without thinking: "Okay." ”

Su Mu smiled, "Won't you ask me what my conditions are before agreeing?"

"What are your conditions?"

"Take me away from the Sea of No Return, and I'll go with you to the human world. Su Mu restrained his smile and said with a straight face.

Du Ye stared at Su Mu with wide eyes, and said in disbelief: "Su Mu, you are crazy, do you know what it means for you to leave the Sea of No Return?"

Su Mu's face did not change, as if he was not taking it seriously, and said disdainfully: "You may get old and die." ”

"Now that you know, how can you be a child's play!" Du Ye couldn't help but yell at Su Mu excitedly, the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently, it can be seen that Su Mu still cares a lot about his life and death. Obviously, they were two originally unrelated people, but because of this body, Du Ye and Su Mu were also linked together by something called blood.

However, Su Mu did not appreciate it.

"You have no right to control my business, my life is given to me by my father, I will make my own decisions, and I can't let you dictate me. ”
