Volume 5: The Mystery of Shamo Chapter 62: Youth has passed and spring has passed
There is a hidden stone platform halfway up the back mountain of Shamo Sacred Mountain. On the stone platform, there is a delicate and elegant attic. Outside the attic is an exquisite courtyard, dotted with exotic flowers and plants, exuding a refreshing fragrance. At this time, the morning light gradually emerges, and the wooden attic is bathed in a faint golden light, floating in the air. Smoke and haze rise around it, and clouds linger. What a paradise on earth!
Dengyuntai, the heart of the Tianxuan Secret Realm, is unknown to outsiders because of the powerful ancient barrier. Not to mention using spiritual consciousness, even using the Shamo clan's most proud divine sign cannot find it.
After Ying Lili was brought back to Shamo by Wu Su, she was brought here directly, so Mo Yi and others could not find any trace of her.
Unfortunately, after being hit by the huge rock in the Shen family's alchemy pot that day and losing consciousness, Ying Lili has been in a deep sleep and has not woken up to this day.
Wu Su walked slowly into the attic, softly called the maid who was carrying the medicine, took the bowl of warm medicine from the plate in her hand, waved his hand to signal her to go out, and walked straight to the couch by the window. Looking at the person who was still sleeping on the couch with a pale face, he sighed imperceptibly.
He gently placed the medicine on the small table beside the couch, then sat down beside it, carefully helping her swallow it drop by drop with his fingertips. A few drops of medicine seeped out of the corners of her mouth, and he carefully wiped them away with a piece of silk cloth...
His cold fingertips lightly brushed her almost bloodless lips, but he couldn't bear to leave. He rubbed them back and forth, as if he was caressing an extremely precious and rare treasure. How many years had it been since he touched her like this? How many years had it been since he had looked at her so carefully?
This was the woman whom he had loved deeply for five hundred years. During these five hundred years, he could only recall her appearance in his dreams at midnight. Now she was right in front of him, so within reach, but he felt that she was so far away from him, as if there was a long Mo River outside Shamo City between them.
He sighed again, and stared at her. After a long while, he murmured to himself, "Junior sister, oh, junior sister, tell me, what should I do with you?"
The uncle masters are about to lift the seal. If we can't completely merge Yao Ji's soul with this body before the uncle masters come out, all the efforts we have made before will be in vain!
Originally, according to Wu Su's expectation, he thought that as long as he brought this body back to Shamo, and then he could remove the seal on Yao Ji's soul five hundred years ago, he would be able to awaken the real Yao Ji. However, he did not expect that after she suffered a heavy blow at the Shen family, she fell into a long coma. Even though he had removed the seal on Yao Ji's soul, it was as if nothing had happened. She never woke up, and Yao Ji's soul did not move at all. It seemed that both of them fell into a deep sleep together. What was going on?
Could something have gone wrong? A trace of uneasiness flashed through his heart. He closed his eyes, calmed his chaotic mind, counted with his fingers, and threw out the divine fortune stick...
However, he did not notice that the moment he closed his eyes, the eyelids of Yinglili lying on the couch twitched slightly.
Ever since Mo Yi's voice disappeared, Gong Lili's consciousness fell into a deep sleep again. He was confused and didn't know where he was or how to wake up.
In a trance, she felt as if she were in a long dream. The dream suddenly changed from a dark place to a small courtyard with green hedges, moss-covered steps and two rows of fragrant grass. A dark blue figure stood in the courtyard, seemingly waving at her. The person was tall and straight, with long black hair flying in the wind. But unfortunately, she could not see his face clearly.
That's Lian Ruo!
Gong Lili recognized it at a glance. Wasn't that thing in her dantian? How did it appear here again?
This discovery surprised Ying Lili. She wanted to go forward to see the other person's appearance, but found that she could not move at all! Looking down, she found that her limbs had been bound by colorful ribbons and she could not get free no matter how hard she tried.
I wanted to speak, but I couldn't utter a single syllable.
A voice as clear as a pond suddenly rang out: "Girl, are you afraid?"
"Scared, scared to death!" Ping Lili blurted out almost subconsciously. Suddenly, her throat moved, and she seemed to have found her voice again in an instant. Ping Lili subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"
"Since ancient times, they have all called me Xuan Yue." The voice sounded so ethereal, as if it came from the sky beyond the nine heavens, and as if it was surrounded by a wisp of light smoke.
"Xuan Yue? This name sounds familiar..." Where have I heard it before? Ying Lili repeated it subconsciously. Wait, Xuan Yue?
"Are you Kamaiyi's master Xuan Yue? The legendary master who broke through the void and left?" Even though Ping Lili's mind was confused at this moment, he immediately realized the other party's identity. He was the master who passed on "Lian Ruo" to him!
Unlike her dislike for Kamaya, Yinglili respected or admired Kamaya's master from the bottom of her heart.
Think about his three disciples: Zhuo Ao, Jian Yi, and Nan Hai… G. Let's just take Long Yu for example. Which one of them wasn't a figure who could call the wind and rain, roam the Void Realm, and stir up a storm with a flick of the wrist? And as their master, how powerful must he be? Even if Yan Lili exhausted all his imagination, he couldn't imagine the realm of this master, let alone the 'Lian Ruo' he inherited from her, which transported her back five hundred years.
If that's the case, he must be able to send me back, right?
At this moment, Ping Lili was about to rush forward and hug her master's thighs with tears and snot, thinking to herself, "Master, please don't test me anymore, just send me back."
Xuan Yue seemed to have heard what was in the heart of Gong Lili. He chuckled suddenly. The subtle laughter was like the first water lily that burst out of the bud in the lotus pond in the early morning, causing the whole pond to shimmer. Gong Lili felt as comfortable as the spring breeze in March.
"Girl, are you curious about why I used 'Lian Ruo' to send you back to five hundred years ago?" He suddenly changed the subject, but inexplicably aroused the long-hidden curiosity in Ying Lili's heart.
This person really can see through people's hearts, Pinglili thought nervously, not saying anything. Her golden brown eyes were fixed on the looming blue figure. Suddenly, she felt that this figure looked so familiar. As if, as if I had seen it before...
"Hatred and killing alone cannot solve the problem. You are a smart girl. I believe that your eyes and your heart have already carefully felt those people and those things. You should already have the answers in your heart for many things that happened back then." Before she finished speaking, the ice-blue lotus in Xuan Yue's hand slowly bloomed, emitting a dazzling light. The ice-blue light flowed in all directions, and the light instantly enveloped her whole body, and in an instant it completely dissolved into her body. At that moment, a warm coolness instantly flowed through her body, and she felt more comfortable than ever before.
"Remember, don't believe those superficial so-called truths. Don't be afraid, don't hesitate. Just listen to the truest voice in your heart..." Xuan Yue's words left the monk completely bewildered. She vaguely felt he was hinting at something, but what exactly were those so-called truths? What was he trying to discover for himself? If he knew something, why didn't he just solve it himself, instead of going through all this trouble?
"Why me? Why don't you come out in person?" Ying Lili asked anxiously.
"This is your fate, the fate of... Go back!" Ying Lili suddenly felt as if he had said something crucial, but before she could hear it clearly, his voice was lost in the chaos...
In the blink of an eye, the stars have moved, the scene has changed, and when I look back, the legendary master has disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, a faint azure light seemed to appear in the distance in front of him. Ping Lili felt that his body was involuntarily moving towards the light, until he reached the end of the light source.
A woman wearing a bright red lotus-shaped dress with gold edges and a gorgeous gold-thread moon crown suddenly appeared at the end of the light source. She smiled and slowly extended her hand to her.
"Yaoji?"
"It's me, welcome back to Shamo."
The same face, the same clothes, the same expression. This was probably the first time that the two women from past and present lives had such close contact. Ying Lili was slightly startled and gently stretched out her hand. This was the first time she had come face to face with Yao Ji, who was alive and not frozen in the black crystal. She was still a little nervous.
"You, why are you here? Where did you go before? Why haven't you appeared for a long time?" Yinglili asked all her questions at once, but Yao Ji just smiled and didn't answer. She smiled and pointed at Yinglili's chest: "I have always been here, never leaving."
"Ah?" Ping Lili was startled again, but she heard Yao Ji say to herself, "Now that you've returned to Shamo, I think it's time for us to put an end to our past and present lives."
Ping Lili's body trembled slightly, and a barely perceptible hint of alertness flashed across his eyes.
"Make a bet with me. Use Mo Yi as the stake. The loser will give up this body and Mo Yi." When Yao Ji's voice gradually reached his ears, Gong Lili was stunned again.
After a while, she sneered sarcastically and leaned forward to face Yao Ji. "Mo Yi is a person, not an object. I won't bet with you on him."
"Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Yao Ji smiled brightly at Ying Lili who was just a few feet away. The smile looked a little dazzling.
"This body is mine. As long as I live, Mo Yi will also be mine. What do you have to bet with me?" Ping Lili raised his eyebrows, but spoke with full confidence, which made Yao Ji stunned for a long time.
This is the biggest feeling in Yao Ji's heart.
"What if I say I already know how to break the curse? How about that as a bargaining chip?" When Yao Ji lightly threw out these words, it was Yan Lili who was stunned...
"What do you want?" Ping Lili pondered for a moment and asked in a deep voice, having already made a decision in his heart.
