The first time Jun Xiaomo had doubts about "Ye Xiuwen" was when she asked "Ye Xiuwen" to compete with "Zhang Shuyue".
When making this request, Jun Xiaomo's main purpose was not to win over "Zhang Shuyue" and let her leave "Ye Xiuwen", but to test her.
Although Jun Xiaomo didn't know much about the "Land of Souls", she had encountered similar hallucination areas in other places before, and she already had a certain understanding and vigilance about it. What's more, in Jun Xiaomo's view, her rebirth was already a miracle. How could this "miracle" happen to her again and again
Therefore, after the initial pain of seeing "Ye Xiuwen" and "Zhang Shuyue" hand in hand passed, Jun Xiaomo calmed down completely.
After carefully combing through his thoughts, Jun Xiaomo had doubts about the authenticity of "Ye Xiuwen" and "Zhang Shuyue" in front of him.
Taking the relationship between "Ye Xiuwen" and "Zhang Shuyue" as a bet, Jun Xiaomo proposed a competition. If she won, "Zhang Shuyue" would leave "Ye Xiuwen" and would not be able to appear in front of them again.
This kind of request is very common in the world of cultivation. When two women are fighting for one man, or two men are fighting for one woman, there is no precedent for using force to solve the problem. Perhaps, because of this, "Ye Xiuwen" did not notice the problem at all. location.
In the final analysis, he was just an illusion created by those little red flowers relying on Jun Xiaomo's memory of Ye Xiuwen. Even if the aura on his body pretended to be similar, it was impossible for him to figure out Ye Xiuwen's every move. Transparent.
Therefore, while he acquiesced in the fight, Jun Xiaomo became more suspicious of his identity.
If it were the real Ye Xiuwen, he would never agree to Jun Xiaomo's unreasonable request. At most, he would only show his dignity as a senior brother to make Jun Xiaomo compromise.
The second test was during the fight with "Zhang Shuyue". When she was hit by "Zhang Shuyue" for the first time, she had been waiting for "Ye Xiuwen" to take action.
At this time in the previous life, Ye Xiuwen had no close feelings for her at all, and only responsibility still existed between them.
However, even if Jun Xiaomo was just a responsibility and a burden, Ye Xiuwen never thought of throwing her away, let alone watching Jun Xiaomo die in front of him.
As a result, Jun Xiaomo was almost beaten to death by "Zhang Shuyue", but "Ye Xiuwen" still didn't take action.
This foggy area seemed to want to arouse the deepest pain and despair in Jun Xiaomo's heart. Therefore, instead of letting "Zhang Shuyue" kill Jun Xiaomo, "Ye Xiuwen" did it.
It took the initiative to let "Zhang Shuyue" die in the hands of Jun Xiaomo, and "Ye Xiuwen" had a reason to kill Jun Xiaomo.
Being killed by the person you love most will only make your inner pain more profound. If there are thoughts in this land of mourning souls, they must "think" like this.
Of course, it doesn't have much thought, it only has an instinctive logic of life.
As a result, at the same time that "Ye Xiuwen" sent the sword into Jun Xiaomo's body, Jun Xiaomo's sword also penetrated straight into "Ye Xiuwen's" chest. She was used to maximizing attack efficiency, and she couldn't even survive. No chance was left to "Ye Xiuwen".
With the death of "Ye Xiuwen", the fog around Jun Xiaomo began to gradually dissipate. Jun Xiaomo could no longer support his body and fell to the ground.
However, except for the weakness in his body and the dull pain in his chest, Jun Xiaomo felt no other discomfort. Even the wound stabbed by "Ye Xiuwen" healed on its own until it disappeared.
It’s no wonder that the “Land of Souls” attacks intruders at the soul level. It will rely on this attack to make the intruder’s soul die in the illusion, and the intruder will fall into brain death due to serious soul injuries. After reaching this state, it will slowly decompose and absorb the intruders in the flowers, and not even the souls will be left.
This is why the intruder can regain consciousness after defeating the illusion.
Jun Xiaomo slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she found herself lying in a field of dark red flowers. The flowers are as high as the knees of a five or six-year-old child. When the breeze blows, the flowers are pushed into the distance layer by layer, like waves, very beautiful.
Of course, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is. What makes this area the legendary "land of souls" are these beautiful and harmless-looking red flowers.
Jun Xiaomo stood up and studied these little flowers carefully. After studying them in silence for a moment, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
"It's you, the last hard-to-find medicine to treat the injuries on senior brother's face."
As Jun Xiaomo said, he put his hand on the stem of a large cluster of small flowers and pulled it out hard -
The soil fell down, and a large bunch of stems and fruits hung under the roots of the red flowers.
These stems and fruits are small and look like lumps the size of a thumb. They are not good-looking. But the color, appearance and smell of these stem fruits told Jun Xiaomo that they were exactly the "pimple fruits" he was looking for.
Jun Xiaomo remembered the introduction of Pimple Fruit that he had read in a book in his previous life—
"The fruit has a sweet and bitter taste and a strange fruit shape. The surface of the fruit is pitted and rough. Although it is called a 'fruit', it is actually a plant rhizome that grows on a small red flower. This flower only grows in the confusing forest and likes to lure passers-by into it. In the illusion they set up... you can see the picture below for details."
In order to live smoothly in her previous life, Jun Xiaomo almost greedily absorbed all the knowledge about spiritual herbs and elixirs that she could get her hands on. Although her talent in alchemy was very average, and the success rate of high-level elixirs was extremely low, the success rate of refining alchemy was very low. I still remember the steps very clearly.
After she found all these elixirs, as long as she found another alchemist with enough ability, she could get the medicine to treat the injuries on Senior Brother Ye's face.
Thinking of this, Jun Xiaomo's mood, which was depressed by the illusion, improved a lot. She looked at the little red flowers under her feet with a smile. At this time, in her eyes, these little red flowers were no longer the culprit that trapped her.
But a garden full of medicine!
Jun Xiaomo bent down and pulled it up diligently.
- "Poor", this little red flower, when they relied on their instinct to trap Jun Xiaomo and wanted to use her as nourishment, they never thought that they would be facing their own disaster. The soul and flesh and blood of the deceased had nourished him so well, and the color was bright red and green, but in the end, Jun Xiaomo picked them all into his storage ring.
The breeze blew, and the little red flower trembled. I don't know if it was following the wind, or if it knew its future destiny.
Jun Xiaomo, who was happily picking pimple fruits, didn't even know that she was getting closer to Ye Xiuwen's place...
Even though Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo were not far apart at this moment, they could not see each other because Ye Xiuwen was still trapped in the foggy area.
Ye Xiuwen didn't know that everything in this foggy area was an illusion, because he was not reborn like Jun Xiaomo.
Compared with everything Jun Xiaomo has experienced, he is really too young.
Ye Xiuwen had long realized that his feelings for his junior sister were complicated, but his experiences from childhood to adulthood made Ye Xiuwen choose a "not delving into" the complexity.
As long as we don't dig deeper, he will always be Jun Xiaomo's respected senior brother, and the relationship between them will never change.
Ye Xiuwen has never been a proactive person, and if Jun Xiaomo and "Yao Mo" hadn't taken the initiative to approach him, he might have always maintained a relationship with these "two people" that was neither salty nor cold.
Not much better than a stranger.
This illusion was set up for Ye Xiuwen. Even Ye Xiuwen didn't realize that he cared so much about the relationship between Jun Xiaomo and Qin Lingyu.
Even at this moment, Ye Xiuwen was not aware of this. He just felt that the sight of "Jun Xiaomo" nestling in the arms of "Qin Lingyu" in front of him was too dazzling.
This kind of stimulation seemed to penetrate directly into his heart, making him feel depressed.
As if he still thought that Ye Xiuwen was not stimulated enough, "Jun Xiaomo" in the fantasy world lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "I didn't expect Senior Brother Ye to be so scary... No wonder I was scared to tears when I was a child."
Ye Xiuwen's fists tightened, and then he let go.
"Excuse me." Ye Xiuwen said calmly, turned around and planned to leave.
He didn't like to argue with others, so what if he was hurt by "Jun Xiaomo"? The most he can do is push the other person out of his heart a little bit.
"Wait a minute." "Qin Lingyu" said, and then, I don't know what formation he activated, and "Jun Xiaomo"'s courtyard was suddenly enveloped in a dark yellow light.
This ray of light shrouded firmly around the courtyard of "Jun Xiaomo", forming an arc-shaped cage.
As a result, Ye Xiuwen couldn't get out at all.
"Junior Brother Qin, what do you mean?" Ye Xiuwen turned around and asked calmly.
Without the obstruction of the curtain, his eyes looked very deep, as if he could not see through the dark night, which was very inconsistent with his cold appearance.
Although Ye Xiuwen didn't like to take the initiative to argue with others, he was not a person who allowed himself to be manipulated.
"Qin Lingyu" smiled and said calmly: "What do you want to do? Of course I want to clean up the door for the teacher."
"Cleaning the house?" Ye Xiuwen frowned.
"Yes, do you think that I will hide the fact that you are associated with a demon cultivator from the sect and not report it?" "Qin Lingyu" sneered and said, "By the way, not only the eldest prince is a demon cultivator, right? , and so does the young boy named 'Yao Mo', who deserved to be burned alive by the Imperial Master using the Nine Layers of Heavenly Fire."
"What did you say?!" Ye Xiuwen was stunned, and the calm expression on his face was finally broken.
"Qin Lingyu" smiled meaningfully: "I mean, the young boy named 'Yao Mo' died. Before he died, he hugged the eldest prince of Lieyan Kingdom tightly. It seemed that he died consecutively. We all have to be with each other.”
"Oh, that's right." "Qin Lingyu" added, "Senior brother Ye, you seem to like that little boy very much. It's a pity that you have to stay with him even for food and accommodation..."
I don't know if it's a pity that the other party "died", or it's a pity that the other party chose the "eldest prince" in the end.
Ye Xiuwen's mind went blank for an instant.
Undoubtedly, for Ye Xiuwen, these words of "Qin Lingyu" were the biggest blow.
