Jiang Yuebai grabbed Xiaolu back and held him in his arms, stroking the cracks on the frame of the Xiaolu lantern with heartache.
Without Ye Shiming's obsession to support him, Xiaolu's overall aura became much weaker, and the light on the lantern flickered weakly.
Jiang Yuebai hurriedly stepped back, constantly using the chaotic energy to mobilize the Netherworld Ghost Fire to repair Xiaolu's body, and used his sleeves to wipe off the turtle ink stains on it, but he still couldn't wipe them off.
[I'm dirty]
[I'm cracked]
Xiaolu wrote two lines of words with a wronged look on his face.
"It's not dirty, it's not dirty. My little green is the purest and flawless. It's okay if it's cracked. I will fix it for you and make it beautiful."
Jiang Yuebai hugged Xiaolu and gritted his teeth in anger, secretly cursing the damn Wu Ji Pen!
"Lin! Jing! Yue!"
Ye Shiming's voice contained tremendous resentment. Jiang Yuebai looked up and saw that Lin Jingyue looked normal. She was staring at him quietly, but there was no disturbance in her eyes.
After not seeing each other for a thousand years, Ye Shiming was very angry at Lin Jingyue's calmness. A tremendous hatred emanated from his body, which turned into tangible black smoke and floated away from around his broken body.
In the black smoke, the shadows of a hundred thousand wronged souls flashed by, like hands, clinging to Ye Shiming, trying to drag him into the underworld to suffer forever.
Lin Jingyue spoke slowly, "Ye Shiming, what happened back then was caused by me. Let go of your obsession, and I will send you and a hundred thousand wronged souls to reincarnate."
Ye Shiming was extremely excited, and black mist was boiling around him like boiling water.
"Reincarnation? That's easy for you to say. Do you know how painful it was for me to be trapped on the day I died in battle for a thousand years? You included me in the 100,000-man army as a gift. Could it be that everything in Chunshan Pass was planned by you from beginning to end, without any sincerity at all?!"
Lin Jingyue remained silent, allowing Ye Shiming to vent his anger at will, with blood and tears covering his face.
"You said you were worthy of the emperor, the people, your clan, and yourself, but you felt guilty towards me. But you... No regrets! No regrets! What a great no regrets! Let me ask you, if everything started over again, would you still scheme against me in the same way?"
Lin Jingyue's fingers were tense and her breath was unstable, so much so that the mountain wind became stronger and stronger, leaves flew everywhere, and the red tassel on the spear behind her fluttered in the wind.
She took a deep breath, faced her own heart, and slowly raised her eyes to look into Ye Shiming's answering eyes.
"If I were to do it all over again, as long as I were still the general of the Yun Kingdom, I would still make the same choice."
Ye Shiming staggered back, laughing miserably, with arrows and blood all over his body, his hands trembling, and he asked in a hoarse, almost pleading voice.
"What about me? What am I? What was that night at Chunshan Pass?"
Lin Jingyue looked at Ye Shiming calmly and said slowly, "When emotions come, one cannot help oneself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shiming suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Lin Jingyue with disbelief. Her eyes were firm, without any hesitation, and clear, without any deception.
"What's the point of love?"
Lin Jingyue took a deep breath again, "I know that anything I say to you now will sound like quibbling, but I still want to say that back then I knew your father sent assassins to kill me, and I had planned it all out. I poisoned you, held you hostage, and left the camp."
"With my skills, I had a chance to escape if I fought to the death. But when you took the poisoned wine I handed over and drank it willingly, I did fall in love with you at that moment. Everything that happened afterwards was caused by love."
The boiling resentment in Ye Shiming's body gradually calmed down. With tears in his eyes, he looked at Lin Jingyue's heroic face greedily. It was exactly the same as he remembered, without any change.
Lin Jingyue continued to explain, "But there is one thing, no matter how much I love you, I am still a Yun countryman, and my loyalty to Yun country has never changed because of anyone or anything."
"So, I can only let you down! You sent me out of seclusion and said you wanted to marry me. I said I would give you 100,000 soldiers as a gift and allow you to marry into my family. All of this was to make you give up the idea."
At that time, Lin Jingyue knew that Ye Shiming had the persistence of a young man. If she just refused, he would definitely ask to the end and try his best to fight for it, so she could only give him an impossible condition and let him weigh the pros and cons and give up on his own.
"Unfortunately, I was naive. I thought you would put the interests of your country first. Later, I learned that you have been with your mother since you were young. Your mother is very affectionate. When your father passed away, your mother abandoned you and chose to commit suicide by hitting the coffin. You probably learned from your mother and took after her, and you regard love as the most important thing."
"You send messages to Yun Country every day. Even if I handle it carefully, it will still be discovered and used by people with ulterior motives. That morning, they forced me to lure you into the pass by offering to marry into their family. At that time, I had already achieved great success and rejected the marriage proposal from His Majesty several times..."
Lin Jingyue paused, recalled the past, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
"I resigned from the government and no longer cared about what happened after my death. As fate would have it, I met a master on the top of a desolate mountain who gave me guidance. I entered the Dao through martial arts and realized that the mountains were high and the seas were vast, and the world was boundless. I practiced in the mountains, and the years passed by. By the time I entered the Dao and left the mountains, the 100,000 soldiers of the Cang Kingdom had become wandering ghosts."
Ye Shiming trembled all over, "So that letter... the letter asking me to marry into your family, wasn't written by you?"
"no!"
Ye Shiming staggered to his knees, crying and laughing, like a madman. Only then did he realize that everything was because of his stupidity, because of his incompetence, because he was blinded by love and killed everyone including himself.
The hatred in Ye Shiming's eyes was gradually replaced by regret. Lin Jingyue's words "love is everything" had made him let go of his obsession.
But how could a hundred thousand wronged souls let him go so easily
The resentment around him gradually eroded him as his own obsession weakened, like ghost claws, tearing at his flesh and blood, revealing his white bones.
Ye Shiming groaned in pain, and streams of blood rushed into his eyes, making his face covered in blood and tears, and he was in great pain.
At this moment, a hand was placed on Ye Shiming's head, bringing with it the light of salvation.
"Let him go. I will pay for your blood debt."
The resentment of a hundred thousand wronged souls followed Lin Jingyue's outstretched hand, winding upward like poisonous snakes.
Lin Jingyue did not resist at all and let the resentment erode her body.
Jiang Yuebai was watching this scene in shock. Lin Jingyue was only one step away from reaching the Mahayana stage. If she had to bear the resentment of a hundred thousand wronged souls at this moment, it would surely damage her cultivation.
"No, don't touch her. I'm the one who killed you. Blood debt must be paid with blood. Don't touch her!"
Ye Shiming rushed forward hysterically, intending to take all the resentment back on himself.
"God of War, bless my kid and make him recover from all his illnesses."
"Thank God of War, my wife and son are safe. I came here to fulfill my wish."
"Please, God of War, please bless me so that I can pass this martial arts exam."
Golden light emerged, and there were countless stars, like a moth to a flame, crashing into the resentment without hesitation.
Jiang Yuebai held Xiaolu in her arms and opened her mouth in surprise. Are these the powers of the incense of the people of Yun Country? They were very similar to the golden light of merit she had seen on Kong Jingyan.
Her master had discussed with her a long time ago that Lin Jingyue had the karmic debt of 100,000 wronged souls, but she was able to turn danger into safety every time she transcended the calamity, because she was the God of War of the Yun Kingdom, and had the protection of millions of Yun Kingdom's incense burners all the way.
It is the same now. The power of these incense sticks can dispel the resentment of 100,000 wronged souls. After each ray of golden light from the incense sticks offsets the resentment, there is an extra "clean" soul in it that can be reincarnated.
Ye Shiming was also enveloped by the golden light of tens of thousands of incense sticks. The blood on his body dissipated, the scars disappeared, and his silver armor returned to its original state. He gradually turned back into the spirited young general he once was.
Dawn was approaching, and the sky in the east was turning pale. Ye Shiming looked at Lin Jingyue longingly, knowing that it was time for him to go. He and Lin Jingyue were destined to be strangers from the very beginning.
Now that he knew that Lin Jingyue had true feelings for him, he had no regrets. He only hoped for the best for her, and hoped that she could obtain the immortality she wanted and live freely and happily.
There was no reluctance to part or endless feelings to express. The thousand-year-old grudge was finally resolved today, which was a relief for both of them.
Ye Shiming looked at Lin Jingyue and retreated step by step, with the sky filled with golden light of incense following him like a shadow.
Back then, she sneaked into the camp alone and helped him defeat the barbarian soldiers of the Sixteen Tribes of Xiyun.
Today, she used her own merits and virtues to wash away all his sins and help him to reincarnate with a hundred thousand wronged souls.
She didn't owe him anything, it was he who dragged her down.
"Lin Jingyue, I have no regrets for meeting you in this life..."
A cry of "no regrets" disappeared with the wind, and the morning sun broke through the darkness, scattering golden light all over the mountains.
…
"Lin Jingyue!"
"Don't shout loudly, I am here to help you win the battle."
…
"I have been here for a few days, but I still haven't asked for your name, General?"
"Me? My name is Ye Shiming."
"When people are idle, the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers fall, the night is quiet and the spring mountains are empty, the moon rises and startles the mountain birds, which sometimes sing in the spring stream."
…
"Wait, the enemy general gave you wine, and you dared to drink it without even thinking about it?"
"You gave it to me, even poison is fine."
"That's all..."
…
"Lin Jingyue, next spring, I will come to your house with my wedding dress and ask for your hand in marriage. You must wait for me."
"Marriage is out of the question!"
"I will never let go!"
"Okay, with 100,000 soldiers from the Cang Nation as a gift, I will allow you to marry into my family!"
"really?"
"nature!"
"It's a deal!"
drive!
The sounds of the past echoed in her ears. Lin Jingyue bathed in the golden light of the morning sun. She tilted her head and closed her eyes, listening to the sounds gradually fading away with the mountain wind and the singing of birds in the sky.
call-
A breeze blew on Jiang Yuebai's face, and she was surprised to find that the golden light of the morning sun seemed to be pulled by some special force and fell entirely on Lin Jingyue.
On the top of the mountain, she was shining brightly.
Lin Jingyue opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuebai, giving a bitter smile.
"My Mahayana tribulation is coming!"
It's the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~
See you tomorrow~
