I thought that sister was quite persistent. Faced with our pursuit, she actually chose to resist stubbornly. Did she think Si Tu Lin would come back to save herJiang Qiyun saw my expression and frowne...As the mist gradually cleared, the reincarnation bead became the focus of this series of events.
The Ling Shan Ten Witches' treasure weapon couldn't possibly be just an ordinary bead. The high-ranking witch gave the Reincarnation Bead to Xiao Yinluo, and told her to bring it to the mortal world, there must be a reason for that.
In my imagination, the image of a witch is mysterious and towering, like a creator goddess of their world. After all, in ancient times, for a woman to have such a lofty status, she must have been an incredibly powerful and domineering woman.
Legend has it that they are the incarnations of Nüwa's intestines, as described in the Shan Hai Jing: "There are ten gods named Nüwa's Intestines, who transform into deities and dwell in Li Guang wild, crossing roads."
This legend is a kind of worship of life and reproduction (harmony) from ancient times, and it is also a kind of worship of life against nature.
Such a goddess, shouldn't have the idea of harming the world, right It's impossible that she would, for personal feelings, want to overturn the existing order, or stir up chaos in the three realms, right
"You're worrying over nothing," Jiang Qiyun said dismissively of my thoughts.
“I just can’t figure it out. This pearl has caused so much trouble since its appearance. Does the witch have a purpose, or is she acting unintentionally” I held Jiang Qiyun’s hair to keep his long hair from being blown about by the wind.
The wind was cool at night. We stood on the old street, watching the Earth God commanding his underworld agents to patrol this area. They didn't find any trace of the woman and the snake; they had slipped through the barrier.
"Just now, I felt like someone was watching me." I pointed at the low building across the street where Old Lady She lived.
"It's probably that child," Jiang Qiyun said lightly.
"Can the child see these things"
"How many children of yin-yang families can completely escape these bizarre affairs" Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly: "Aren't you the same Even if no one taught you yin-yang magic from a young age, you couldn't break free from this circle."
Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and signaled to the Land God to take the Yin soldiers away. He frowned and said, “This street lacks positive energy and has too much negative energy. Perhaps at a certain point in time, something will happen. It’s better to demolish it sooner rather than later.”
"It's all being torn down now. Nowadays, towns are just tearing everything down and rebuilding new cities. The old things are eliminated, and new things are built."
Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "For example, faith..."
I dare not speak. People today revere technology and pursue extravagance. Good virtues like respecting heaven, following ancestors, benevolence, and self-discipline have been neglected.
Perhaps only those of us who are hidden on the fringes of society would care about cause and effect, karma.
"> "
In the night, the Shen family atmosphere was solemn. Since something happened, everyone in the family was apprehensive and cautious.
When I appeared in the main hall, I startled the patrolling disciples.
“Master, any good news” The Steward looked at me anxiously, with a hint of worry between his brows.
Lin Yanhuan's matter has put too much pressure on us. The once prestigious family, known for its elegance and refinement, now wears expressions of worry and distress.
"...Should be, we found two Six Pole Ghost Devices. We can try to collect the souls of the two. Has anything happened at home recently" I asked.
The steward frowned and said, “It's nothing major, really. It's just that Miss Lin...Lin Yanqin, the young lady who accompanied Young Master Lin, she went back home for a while and then came back. We were all terrified, afraid she would cause another incident here. Everyone in the house, from top to bottom, couldn’t even sleep, half-asleep and half-awake all night, on high alert.”
Yan Qin at the Shen residence
"She's probably asleep in her guest room by now. Should I go wake her up" the head butler asked.
"No, no, it's okay. Unless there are any surprises, my brother will be here early tomorrow morning. Yanqin should be here waiting for my brother." I quickly waved my hand.
"Well then... Master Head, you should rest first. It's getting late now, we can give you a proper welcome tomorrow." The Steward looked ready to stay up all night, still clutching a thin blanket in his hand.
I led Jiang Qiyun back to our small courtyard, thinking that I should settle this honorable Emperor who had humbled himself to travel with me before going to see Lin Yanhuan.
Just as I was about to speak, Jiang Qiyun crossed her arms and said coldly, "Where do you want to go at this late hour"
I'll go and
check on Lin Yanhuan's situation.
"Not allowed," he said coldly.
"Why, I came back without even looking at him, how could I bear to just leave"
"Mu Xiaoqiao, what time is it now You're going to another man's courtyard so late at night"
"Then why don't you come with me" I felt like laughing but didn't dare.
Jiang Qiyun glared at me: "I've noticed you've been running around lately, looking stressed and preoccupied. I'm too lazy to scold you, but are you forgetting self-discipline Have I been too lenient with you"
"Where would I forget! I've never missed my homework, morning or evening!" I quickly said.
"What should we do now" he leaned in, his face turning serious.
What should one do during the child hour
He never said what kind of practice to do during childhood.
His serious gaze made me tremble with fear, and I suspected that I had forgotten something important.
"Bedtime Are you asking if I should...should...go to sleep" I answered uncertainly.
Jiang Qiyun smiled lightly, pinching my cheek with his fingers and squeezing it gently: "…You have to sleep with your husband."
“...”
Isn't he a bit jealous I'm a little suspicious, he rarely says things like that to show possession.
This period of time, indeed, even sleep couldn't calm my mind. I was worried about my older brother, so I called to confirm that he and Ah Qi had already raced back home. Only then did I let out a sigh of relief and lie down on the bed for a moment.
Once I relax, my eyelids feel heavy.
Jiang Qiyun's voice fluctuated, near and far, softly calling my name in my ear: "Mu Xia Qiao..."
"Hmm."
I don't even bother to care what he says anymore, I agree to whatever he says.
This determined attitude made Jiang Qiyun chuckle a little. I heard him let out a light laugh and said, “This is what you promised.”
Huh What did I promise
“This matter is settled. Come back to the Netherworld Palace with me and learn how to do…”
When is the Underworld Immortal
"Just be a good little shadow," he tapped my forehead, gesturing for me to close my eyes and keep quiet, and go to sleep.
I felt like I had just closed my eyes and hadn't slept soundly when a noisy commotion woke me up.
“Wow, Master Yunfan, why do you have dark circles under your eyes...”
"You try driving for two days, you'll have it too."
"My sisters have developed a Chinese herbal ointment for dark circles. Would you like to try it"
"... Forget it, your medicine is outrageously expensive."
"Mother~~ Father~~"
The sound of returning footsteps came closer and closer, bursting directly into the inner room.
My head was throbbing. I rubbed my temples and got up, only to find a crowd of people in the courtyard—people even the steward wouldn't dare stop.
My brother worked tirelessly, bringing the paper figure to the Mu family after which he immediately exchanged it for a soul-suppressing tower with the grandfather. Then, he drove all night to come to the Shen family.
As if by coincidence, Mu Wanchen received the message from Jiang Qiyun's emissary and immediately came over. Xiao Yinluo also followed, bringing Yu Gui and You Nan with them.
When Yan Qin heard my brother arrive, she ran over in her pajamas. The yard was as lively as a marketplace.
I looked at the sky, it was just beginning to lighten.
"You guys... how did you all get together..."
"This isn't about knowing there was good news and rushing over to ask... Can we come in" Yan Qin's voice trembled slightly outside the door.
I glanced at Jiang Qiyun beside me. He was lazily propping his head up, his eyelids fluttering open as he said to me, "Go call Cheng Banshen over. This seat will personally instruct him. If he messes this up, he shouldn't even think about living a carefree life in the human realm."ot have heard me, but I wasn't as quiet when I spoke. I didn't expect him to know Xi Lingzhou either."Isn't she Master Ma's disciple What are you looking for her to do" Huisqing, the monk, didn't kno...
