"Assholes! What are you mumbling about? Why don't you leave?"
Master Wude asked in a grim voice.
I slowly shook my head at Yuquan and said, "I'm sorry, Yuquan, I can't do what you say. I won't ignore Susu's soul. I didn't save her life back then, this time, I must protect her."
Seeing my determined look, Yuquan sighed and said helplessly: "Amitabha! Brother Yang, after all, you are not a competent ghost-catching Taoist priest. I know your feelings for your girlfriend Huang Susu, but she is dead after all, and only her soul is left. You keep her by your side and don't let her soul return to the underworld. Is it really because you love her?"
Yuquan’s words were like a thunderbolt that struck my heart hard and shocked me greatly.
For a moment, I was speechless.
Yes, I kept Su Su's soul by my side and didn't let her reincarnate, so am I not selfish? People say love is selfless, but is this kind of "confinement" in the name of love really love
My eyes turned red and tears actually appeared in them.
I waved my hands and said to Yuquan, "I understand. I know what you said is right. But at this moment, I can't watch Su Su's soul fly away. I have to save her."
After saying that, I turned to Master Wude and said coldly: "Master Wude, I hope you will keep your promise. Otherwise, even if I, Yang Tianyi, die, I will become a fierce ghost and haunt you."
Master Wude had a blank expression on his face and ignored me.
Turning sideways, I waved to Yuquan and Qi Chen and said, "Let's go. Let's leave this place first."
Qi Chen was somewhat surprised by my decision, and asked me tremblingly: "Master Yang, are you not going to deal with this evil man?"
I shook my head sadly and said, "Let's go, let's leave first."
After saying that, I took the lead and walked towards the exit of the earth cave space.
Yuquan looked back at Guan Xinrui's body in the pool of blood and shook his head helplessly.
Afterwards, our group of three, including one ghost, returned to the outside of the temple.
It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. The sky was dark, with dark clouds rolling in, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Looking at the dark sky, I thought of Su Su in the Taiyin Pearl again.
At the same time, Yuquan's words were like the sound of drums, echoing in my heart and making me unable to calm down for a long time.
I asked myself, am I really a selfish person
No, I'm not! I've saved so many people, helped so many people get rid of disasters, and I have accumulated so much Yin De Qi, which is the best proof of my character.
But as for SuSu, I really can't explain my inner thoughts. I love her, there is no doubt about that. But this kind of love, perhaps, has turned into a kind of selfishness without knowing when.
Seeing me squatting on the slope in front of Wuzangmiao, Yuquan walked over slowly.
"Brother Yang, I'm sorry, I said too much!" Yuquan said apologetically.
I tilted my head, glanced at him, smiled sadly, shook my head and said, "No, maybe I was really wrong. Maybe letting Su Su's soul return to the underworld is the best outcome. That may also be a kind of comfort to me."
"But I kept SuSu by my side because I also hoped that one day I could revive her and let her be with me again. I love her, I know. She is willing to stay with me, I know that too."
Yuquan interrupted me and said, "But Brother Yang, to be honest, Sister Susu is no longer here. She is just a spirit. It is impossible for you, a human being in the mortal world, to fall in love with a ghost."
"As for your wish to revive Sister Susu, this is probably unrealistic. You have to know that once a person dies, they are dead. True resurrection is impossible. Even a god cannot do it easily."
I lowered my head and remained silent for a long time.
Seeing that I was lost in thought, Yuquan sat beside me and chanted the Buddhist mantra of purification in a low voice.
While chanting the Heart Purifying Mantra, I slowly closed my eyes and thought about the past.
The previous confusion and emotions were slowly dismantled.
I don't know how long it took, but I opened my eyes, turned to look at Yuquan, and said with a smile: "Yuquan, thank you!"
Yuquan stopped chanting, smiled at me and said nothing more.
The sky is getting darker and darker, making people feel depressed, as if a curtain is covering them. But how many people can truly understand what is going on under the curtain, and what is happening in the world
The story has been unfolding, and we all hope to have a more perfect ending. This is the expectation in the heart of each of us. However, the reality is cruel.
After taking a breath, I felt a lot better.
At this moment, Qi Chen and the ghost Guan Xintong returned and said in shock: "Master Yang, he came out! The Master Wude came out."
Hearing this, Yuquan and I stood up at the same time, staring at the entrance of Wuzangmiao with cold eyes.
"Hahaha, my daughter is finally resurrected. I, Master Wude, resurrected my daughter with my own hands. I have waited for decades, and this day has finally come."
The creepy laughter of Master Wude echoed in the air and reached my ears.
I sneered in my heart, thinking, reviving a creature that is neither human nor ghost can be considered resurrection. Ridiculous!
Master Wude slowly walked out from the door of the five internal organs temple.
A figure followed behind him, and that figure was Guan Xinrui. However, Guan Xinrui could no longer be called Guan Xinrui at this time, because her soul had been replaced by the ghost of another person.
"Guan Xinrui" had red light in her eyes and a sinister look on her face, looking very cold. Her body was stained with blood and a strong ghost aura, which wrapped around her body.
At first glance, this "Guan Xinrui" looks like a demon that just crawled out of hell.
But I didn’t pay too much attention to this “Guan Xinrui”, but instead focused on Master Wude.
In Master Wude’s right hand, the Taiyin Pearl was held by him.
Su Su's soul inside the Taiyin Pearl is very weak.
Faintly, I could hear Susu's voice. She seemed to be calling my name.
Seeing that we were really waiting at the entrance of Wuzangmiao, Master Wude smiled coldly and said, "Yes, you didn't disturb me from resurrecting my daughter, that's good."
As he spoke, Master Wude raised his hand, and a stream of Yin De Qi carrying the Taiyin Pearl flew towards us.
I hurried forward, the energy of Yin De was released, a white light flashed, and it circled the Taiyin Pearl.
The Taiyin Pearl was caught in my hand.
"Okay, I've returned the Taiyin Pearl to you. I haven't broken my promise. Today, I'm in a good mood, so I'll spare your lives. You all should get out of here right now."
After hearing this, I felt depressed.
I looked towards the Taiyin Pearl. Inside the Taiyin Pearl, the shadow of Susu's soul was looking at me.
"Tianyi, Tianyi..."
SuSu is calling my name.
I said excitedly: "SuSu, I'm here, I'm here!"
In the shadow, Su Su slowly opened her eyes and said weakly: "Tianyi, it's great to see you again."
I felt very upset, my eyes became hot and I started to cry unconsciously.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm always here. I will protect you."
A slight smile appeared on the face of Susu's soul.
Then, I comforted Susu with a few words and put the Taiyin Pearl in my arms. It seemed that only in this way could I feel the warmth in Susu's soul and feel at ease.
Yuquan, Qi Chen and others all stood next to me at this time.
Qi Chen said, "Master Yang, otherwise... let's leave."
I
Without replying to Qi Chen's words, he stared coldly at Master Wude sitting opposite him.
Master Wude saw that we were not leaving yet, and said with a sinister smile: "Why, don't you want to leave? If you don't want to leave, I can let my daughter kill you. Now my daughter has a ghost body and can control a lot of ghost energy, just like a ghost king. You will not be a match for us father and daughter."
I said coldly, "Master Wude, every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, I am Yang Tianyi, a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and today I met you, so I have to eliminate you. And your daughter, she has combined with a ghost body and has become an evil creature, today I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, Master Wude laughed sinisterly: "Hahaha, what a good phrase for carrying out justice on behalf of heaven. I like this phrase very much, but... "
At this point, Master Wude paused, his face turned sinister, and he added solemnly, "But, we are not people you can mess with. Isn't that right, daughter?"
Master Wude turned around and looked at his daughter with a smile.
Guan Xinrui did not respond to Master Wude's words. The red in her eyes became more and more intense. She raised her head slightly and looked at the dark clouds flowing in the sky.
The next moment, "Guan Xinrui" roared towards the sky: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"
Master Wude was stunned for a moment, and asked in a dumbfounded manner: "Daughter, what did you say?"
"Guan Xinrui" slowly lowered her head and stared at Master Wude with a confused look. Her eyes were so indifferent, as if she didn't know Master Wude at all.
Master Wude realized something was wrong, swallowed his saliva, and asked nervously: "Daughter... Ziyi, don't you recognize me? I am your father..."
However, Guan Xinrui's eyes remained silent and indifferent, and she turned a deaf ear to Master Wude's words.
I turned my head and asked Yuquan in a low voice: "Yuquan, what happened to Guan Xinrui? Didn't she merge with the soul of Master Wude's daughter? Why does she seem to not recognize Master Wude?"
Yuquan thought for a moment and whispered, "She must have been affected. Just like I said before, the soul of Master Wude's daughter may have been affected by the emotions in the blood of the women in the blood pool. Now her consciousness has changed, and I'm afraid she can't remember Master Wude anymore."
Can't remember
In other words, the current "Guan Xinrui" has turned into a monster with confused consciousness.
"The Yin blood in the blood pool contains the emotions of those dead women, which are very violent. Even if Master Wude's daughter has taken over Guan Xinrui's ghost body, the emotions will still affect her soul. Now she has lost consciousness."
Loss of consciousness
This is really a bit scary.
Just as I was talking to Yuquan, a scream suddenly came from the other side.
I quickly raised my eyes and saw that Guan Xinrui's arm had actually pierced through Master Wude's chest.
Master Wude widened his eyes in disbelief, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Ziyi, you... you don't recognize me? I am your father... Master Wude!"
But "Guan Xintong" did not care about Master Wude's words. With a "puff", she pulled her arm out of Master Wude's chest again.
Immediately afterwards, "Guan Xinrui" pounced on Master Wude like a wild beast.
There were a few more screams, and Master Wude's neck was bitten open, his blood vessels were torn, and blood splattered.
"Guan Xintong" lay on Master Wude's body and began to bite Master Wude's body bite by bite.
Master Wude's eyes slowly turned dim, his body twitched violently, and finally, his eyes widened until he died.
I'm afraid Master Wude would not understand why his own daughter, after being resurrected, killed him instead.
