ere must still be an evil ghost hiding inside a living person... Based on Si Tu Lin's habits, this ghost is also using soul transference to inhabit a living being, making it hard to find."Jiang Qiyun...Jiang Qiyun didn't originally intend to flirt with me, he flirted with me simply as a "convenience."
He felt that there was no other presence in the entire courtyard, and immediately reached out to pull me up: "Come on, let's go see what this so-called Nan Ke's reflection is."
“If this is a dream, I'm afraid I won't be able to wake up. Don't be too confident," I adjusted my clothes and reminded him beforehand.
"After having been to the realm of illusions, why would I fear a single courtyard of his" Jiang Qiyun formed a barrier around us and walked out under the eaves.
To say he was relaxed wouldn't quite be accurate. Jiang Qiyun walked with an air of leisure, far from the anxious state I was in.
I'm unfamiliar with building regulations, but Jiang Qiyun could roughly guess the layout of the entire house. The place where someone could accidentally stumble in wouldn't be a deep, large courtyard, but rather a side door or back entrance.
I followed him through several corridors and came to a moon gate with white walls and gray tiles. Inside, there was a path of small stones, flanked by emerald bamboo.
The plaque above Yue Dongmen is inscribed with the two characters "Nan Ke," and it's not difficult to find.
" …He's a local official who can't leave his jurisdiction, so seclusion would have to be on his own turf. This place must be his retreat." Jiang Qiyun released my hand and walked a few steps inside.
The gravel road is a crossroads, with three small houses inside.
I didn't dare to go in rashly. I stood at the mouth of the moon cave, peering inside, waiting for Jiang Qiyun to give the order.
Is a haunted house safe
I don't know if it's my psychological factors, but I always feel a chill down my spine and an eerie presence behind me, so I can't help but look back.
"Qi Yun…is there something strange about this place" Another chill ran down my spine, and I couldn't help but ask.
I asked, glancing back over my shoulder.
Jiang Qiyun's voice came from the courtyard, "No clue yet, come in, Xiao Qiao."
"Oh..." I stepped into the lunar cave without thinking, rubbing my goosebumps.
I kept looking back, because I always felt a hazy mist in the distance of the corridor.
That cloud of mist was spreading in this direction, and I couldn't help but stare, wanting to see what lay within the black haze.
"Qiyun, something seems off over there..."
"Hmm What's wrong" His voice echoed from somewhere nearby.
"Seems like..."
It seems —
Mist clung to the pillars, and a small figure emerged from behind them, showing half its face, staring straight at me.
The skin was a thick, cement-like color. A pair of pupil-less pale blue eyes stared at me, and there were still scars from where it had been slashed by the Purple Heaven Wishing Stick -
It was the little demon that devoured life force.
I have never seen a "demon" in its entirety.
The Corpse Demon eats anything, merging into a hideous and massive body that cannot fully crawl out of the spatial rift.
And this child, who looked like a demon consuming vital energy, stood before me completely unharmed. He was surrounded by an eerie and venomous aura, staring at me silently...
"Little Qiao" A force grasped my wrist.
I was breathing rather hard, and turning back hastily, I cried, "Qiyun, Qiyun, look! That demon has appeared again! He's appeared again! He must have something to do with Old Wangye! You—"
You...
Who are you
I was stunned.
When did the surrounding environment change
It wasn't Jiang Qiyun who was holding my wrist!
... but a humanoid figure coalesced from black mist, extending a skeletal claw that gripped my wrist through my clothing!
"Ah——!!" I cried out, reaching into my bag with my left hand and pulling out the Zi Xiao Ruyi.
The Heavenly Court of the Nine Heavens, the Supreme Jade Pure King... Holding a golden light Ruyi, proclaiming the Jade Pivot Sutra, anything unaligned transforms into dust, commands are issued swiftly like wind and fire!
Subject to demons, commanding the five thunders! Great Saint, great compassion, supreme emperor, supreme way!
I gritted my teeth, endured the numbness and panic, and silently recited the Thunder Master's Proclamation. Zixiao Ruyi did not disappoint expectations. Within the three realms, I could move as fast as wind and fire, with a sharp and powerful surge!
Actually… the decree of Lei Zhu is among the most powerful decrees of all the esteemed gods.
The unyielding power transformed into fine dust, carrying with it the overwhelming aura of annihilation.
The skeletal claws that gripped my wrist were struck by Ruyi's purple lightning, and with a "crack," they exploded into a pile of bone fragments.
Thick black mist did not waver in the slightest, and Jiang Qiyun's voice continued to mystify me: "Xiao Qiao, what are you doing It's me."
"What the hell are you! You can pretend to be someone else, but pretending to be Jiang Qiyun Have you lost your mind!" I swallowed hard, trying to gather my courage.
Don't panic, Jiang Qiyun is just nearby, he will surely be fine.
As for me, when did I become enlightened
Taoism is profound, mysterious and beyond explanation. Sometimes, just a word, a glance, or a sound can "plant" a profound secret.
Now I hurriedly recall — just now, I was distracted.
I turned my head and focused on the black mist in the corridor ahead, telling Jiang Qiyun, "Something seems wrong..." At this moment, Jiang Qiyun replied, "Come in, Xiao Qiao."
Little Qiao.
He rarely calls me that.
Only when he was expressing his emotions or in moments of intimate embrace would he softly call me, "Xiao Qiao."
He usually called me "Mu Xiaoqiao" with a sternness of three points and tenderness of seven.
How can you be so stupid How can you be so small How can you cry so much Are you going to keep making a fuss with me
That's the way he spoke.
Nanke's reflection, Nanke's reflection... to gain what joy, to lose what sorrow Glory is fleeting, swift as a dream of Nanke.
This is a dream, or perhaps an illusion.
Just like entering Cheng Banxian's eight-sided bronze mirror when removing poison, the person in the mirror... is oneself.
Suddenly, I had an idea. Pointing at the shadow with my Zijiao Ruyi, I rebuked, "Mu Xiaoqiao! Your cultivation is crude and your Taoism shallow! You dare to set foot in the Nanke Dream Realm With such paltry tricks, you might frighten others, but are you unaware of your own limitations"
Scolding oneself... this feeling is truly subtle.
The shadow froze, silent for a long moment. Then it suddenly burst into a cackle: "Kekeke! You're not afraid of me You're not afraid of *me* at all... Look who I am, kekeke—"
The shadowy hands suddenly reached toward its own head, as if ripping open its face, and pulled hard in opposite directions —
A deathly pale face, half of it rotting away, with an eyeball lying in the exposed teeth.
"桀桀桀——Mu Xiao Qiao——Long time no see——” He grinned, his rotten teeth bared, bulging eyes staring at me as he leaned in!
"Ahhhh— Situ Lin!" I was startled, how could this be possible Not afraid at all!
How could a "person" reduced to rubble appear here!
No, no…… he was just a shell back then, I had hacked him quite a bit. Taiyi Shen's Nine-Headed Lion roared in anger to save the two little ones, opening the Jiuyou Blood Pool Hell and pulling the Corpse Demon space into the blood pool altogether.
Jiang Qiyun's method transformed the resentment and evil from the blood pool into lotus flowers, which disappeared into the dark depths of Yin Mountain.
I saw with my own eyes half a head rolling in the pool of blood, he was gone long ago!
I forced down my fear and said to the shadow, "You pathetic little thing thinks you can scare me! This Zi Xiao Ruyi is a magical artifact that breaks curses. You dare threaten me I'll strike you down!"anymore..." I muttered under my breath.I have always looked up to Mu Wanchen, but now he has lifted me onto a low-hanging branch, and I am half a head taller than him.From this angle, you can see his...
