In a valley filled with birdsong and flowers, there is a small thatched hut.
There are many common elixirs planted next to the house, exuding a faint fragrance, and beside the stone table surrounded by a wooden fence, Su Li is sitting quietly, looking thoughtful.
The pale young man sitting opposite him looked at Su Li, his usually calm expression became a little more uneasy. He obviously... wanted something from Su Li.
Until I heard gentle footsteps coming from outside the valley.
Su Li's eyes flashed and she finally said: "I promise you! But you should wait until then. I can't guarantee you."
When the pale young man heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed, as if Su Li agreed would be the best result, "Then I'll trouble you, the Holy Lady. If the situation is irreversible as the Holy Lady said, then... please bring my son safely." From here, as agreed, I will record everything that happened that year here."
Su Li's eyes flashed, she took the jade slip handed out by the pale young man, stood up and walked silently into the house.
After taking two steps, she suddenly stopped again, turned her back, and said indifferently: "I also understand the feeling of being a parent, and... I am not a saint, so don't mention this title a second time."
The pale young man was startled for a moment, thinking of all the things he had done in the past in the illusion of reincarnation, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Just as Su Li entered the house, a surprised shout came from the door of the valley courtyard: "Dad! It's really you!"
Dongfang Yi stared at the pale young man's face with wide eyes, and couldn't help but walk over quickly.
The pale young man instantly gathered his thoughts and turned around to see the three people outside the door. His eyes fell on the face of the young man in the middle, and a smile suddenly appeared on his stern face.
Yes, he is Dongfang Yi's father, Dongfang Wuxue.
In the illusion of reincarnation, he transformed into the twelfth prince of Dahan Kingdom, but in the real world of cultivation, he was a monster of the Dongfang family. With his own luck, he managed to get a good role in the illusion.
The illusion of reincarnation... has existed since ancient times. It seems that a world has been extended around the person with the highest luck in the illusion of inheritance. If someone can truly unify the illusion of reincarnation, the mirror of reincarnation will automatically recognize its owner.
Of course, this rule was completely wiped out by the psychic mirror spirit. Under her control, it was impossible to produce such a person. Once there was any sign of it, it would destroy the future owner in advance just like it destroyed Su Li!
However, even if a real master cannot be produced, the cultivation techniques and treasures in the Samsara Mirror are extremely coveted by people in the cultivation world.
In the room, Su Li heard Dongfang Wuxue's previous description, and there was a silence. She finally understood why so many people in her previous life were keen on letting her open the world of reincarnation in the mirror.
In my previous life, which was originally a blur, I finally figured out a lot of the trajectories in this life at this moment.
"Yier, you have grown up."
Dongfang Wuxue did not forget the agreement with Su Li. He woke up after being distracted for a moment. He looked up and down at Dongfang Yi and sighed, but had no idea of getting up to contact his son.
Dongfang Yi didn't think so much. He stepped forward with excitement and was about to hug his father, but he stumbled and passed directly through Dongfang Wuxue's body.
"Virtual shadow?!
Dongfang Yi's face changed immediately after he hugged Kong. He knelt nervously in front of Dongfang Wuxue and carefully observed his father's body. When he saw the light beam of light penetrated Dongfang Wuxue's body, his face suddenly turned miserable. .
"Why is it a shadow? Dad, could it be that you..."
"Your father will not die that easily."
Dongfang Wuxue didn't let the second half of the sentence come out and laughed and cursed.
Dongfang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his back was soaked. If he found out that his father was dead when they reunited, it would be the cruelest punishment from God to him.
"Fellow Taoist Dongfang, I'm so polite. I will never forget your life-saving grace!"
Grandma Poison Flower came forward and said warmly, no matter what, they were out of danger, this place was also very suitable for healing, and there was no need to worry about their lives for the time being.
"You're welcome, Fellow Taoist Poison."
Raising his head, Dongfang Wuxue's face returned to calmness, and he smiled lightly and said: "I also saw that you saved my son's life along the way. This account has been settled."
"Can you see the situation in the inheritance cave?"
Grandma Duhua was horrified and subconsciously remembered her old friend Qian's previous warning to bring Dongfang Yi with her. It turned out that this was what happened.
Dongfang Yi's biological father is actually in this cave.
Dongfang Wuxue just smiled and said nothing when he heard her words, but his heart was bitter. If he could, he would rather give up this ability.
"Are you Dongfang Wuxue?"
The wounds on the patient's body covered with blood were scabbed, and his hair was disheveled and covered with blood clots. He was even more embarrassed than a beggar, but his face was calm. He looked at Dongfang Wuxue and said in a deep voice: "My name is... Yan Ziye. "
Dongfang Wuxue's calm expression immediately changed, and his tone lost its previous casualness. He said in the same deep tone: "It turns out to be Brother Yan, but Brother Yan's..."
Yan Ziye grinned, "Not everyone is as lucky as Brother Dongfang. I was seriously injured when I came out, and I never recovered. Now I am struggling to survive in the world of cultivation, which makes Brother Dongfang laugh."
When Dongfang Wuxue heard this, he immediately laughed meaningfully. He did not say it explicitly, but secretly said: "With Brother Yan's background, the damage to the foundation should be easy to repair. Could it be that Brother Yan followed me?" Are they all betraying their own power?"
Yan Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly, and Dongfang Wuxue revealed his ugly side. He was also calm and replied: "That kind of approach is against my Taoism! If we have different Taoism, we will not conspire against each other. I have betrayed the sect and have not regretted it at all!"
"And... although it sounds ridiculous, Su Li did have a lot of influence on me in the illusion back then, which made me unable to treat my mentor and others as close people anymore. They were so scheming about who made whose cauldron. ? Haha, it’s really ridiculous..."
Dongfang Wuxue pursed her lips slightly, "Brother Yan, what you said is wrong. Not everyone still retains the memory of the illusion like us. Those who came out of the illusion with their natal rings as substitutes in advance only remember the skills and secret techniques. , if there hadn’t been that accident that year…”
Yan Ziye's expression changed immediately, "Is that so..."
Dongfang Yi and Grandma Duhua watched Dongfang Wuxue and Yan Ziye suddenly remain silent at the same time. Naturally, they knew that the two were communicating, and judging from their appearance, the two were clearly old acquaintances, knowing each other but not knowing each other.
Grandma Poison Flower has lived for too long and has a clear mind. She has no intention of inquiring into the relationship between the two, and just sits aside to heal her wounds.
Dongfang Yi sat aside worriedly, but he was worried about his father's lack of solid body.
After half a day, the exchange between the two former geniuses came to an end. A smile appeared on each of their faces, but they each had no idea of the meaning.
Dongfang Wuxue looked inside the room of meaning without any trace, and the thoughts in her mind changed.
"Yan Ziye
He obviously entered the cave together with Su Li, and Su Li might have recognized him a long time ago. Fortunately, he didn't know much about what happened back then, so I still have enough chips. However, with the help of Yan Ziye, the certainty may be greater..."
For the next period of time, Dongfang Yi and the others stayed here to concentrate on healing their injuries. Although the injuries of Yan Ziye and Grandma Duhua were serious, they were not troublesome. With the help of the elixir, they were able to return to their peak condition before entering the cave in just one month.
As for Dongfang Yi, he was accepting the teachings of Dongfang Wuxue, which made up for the inheritance that was missing when he was young. However, Dongfang Yi was very uneasy while learning. He always felt that his father was explaining the funeral affairs, and his mind became more and more heavy.
"You two, now that your injuries have recovered, why not come over and sit down for a chat."
Dongfang Wuxue extended the invitation with a smile. Yan Ziye and Grandma Duhua naturally had no objection and sat down next to each other. For the first time in countless years, the small stone tables in the four directions were full of people.
"This cave is left by Master Cang Lei. You must know it from the stone tablet, but..."
When Dongfang Wuxue said this, his voice suddenly became deeper, "Half of the content in the stone tablet is false."
"What?!"
Dongfang Yiqiang was the most frustrated and couldn't help but exclaim. The expressions of Yan Ziye and Grandma Duhua also changed slightly. They had never doubted the authenticity of the stone tablet.
"Although I have vague senses when you enter the cave, but... as long as there are birds around, I can't sense them."
Dongfang Wuxue then said a name, which made Yan Ziye frown, "Who is Cangque...?"
"He is the Tiansan people you know."
Dongfang Wuxue looked at Yan Ziye and whispered a shocking fact, "The Tiansan people were taken away by the birds a hundred years ago, and they are in this cave, and the people who came here with the Tiansan people a hundred years ago... are I."
"Cangque was originally the spirit of this cave, and was responsible for waiting for the successor of Master Cang Lei. However, the time was too long, and Cangque developed independent intelligence, broke away from the shackles of the cave, and became an evil spirit."
Dongfang Wuxue's tone was still calm, but the fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched unconsciously, "After Tiansan and I came here together, we were caught by the bird, Tiansan was snatched away by it, and I was ripped apart alive by him. , replacing its original position."
There was a long silence in the small courtyard.
"It's so true."
Grandma Poison Flower's face turned pale, and the truth was often far beyond imagination.
A mansion spirit who was assigned to manage the cave by his master lived for countless years and developed a different mind. He actually tried to break away from the concept of spirit and become a human being, becoming the descendant of his master.
Such evil things would probably be rare even in the ancient era of cultivation.
Dongfang Wuxue continued: "Because of this, I can vaguely sense what is happening in the cave. But after all, I am not a real mansion spirit, and many things are beyond my control. Cangque stripped off my soul back then and wanted me to You have become an unconscious puppet, but you don’t know that I have a strange treasure to protect you and my thoughts will never leave. If not, I might not be able to save you by surprise."
"However, when I appear in front of Cangque this time, I'm afraid he already knows about my existence."
Dongfang Yi panicked when he heard this, "What should we do? Dad, will Cangque..."
"Yi'er, don't worry."
Dongfang Wuxue shook his head and smiled, "When Cangque thinks about getting the inheritance, he naturally has to give up. He has already given up his identity as a mansion spirit. Here...he can't come in without my permission."
