Alley of Hundred Ghosts, houses collapsed, dusty.
The queen tripped over a rotten tree, and didn't even notice that she had lost one of her shoes. She stared closely at the bloody corpse in the yard, and it took her a long time to approach slowly. She leaned down, brushing away the messy hair of the corpse with trembling fingertips, revealing the deformed face.
Even though the facial features were distorted, she still recognized it at a glance—it was her son, Dingyun.
Her lips trembled, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time. She slowly wiped the blood from Dingyun's mouth, the blood was also cold and frighteningly strange.
"Dingyun... Get up, don't scare the queen mother..." Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of waking something up. But nothing can be awakened. Empress Yingzhao hugged Dingyun's head and let him lean into her arms, "This is impossible, I must be dreaming...it must be a dream..."
She stroked Dingyun's face, and then carefully examined the blood on her hands.
"This is not a dream..." She buried her head into Dingyun's already icy body, and after a long time, she wailed like a dying beast, "This is not a dream... Dingyun!"
Only at this time did her tears come surging, layers of grief piled up, and finally all of them turned into hatred: "Xue loves her heart, mocks the wind, I want to peel your mother and child, smash the grass, crush your bones and turn them into ashes!"
Under the Ghost Baby Valley, the bones lie horizontally.
Ye Tan thought he was dead.
Every part of her body hurt, she coughed, and the blood soaked out from every pore, congealing into beads on the skin. Air enters the lungs like steel thorns. She tried her best but couldn't open her eyes.
A wisp of devilish energy poured into her body like an oasis. She opened her eyes and saw Gu Haichao's expressionless face.
Not far away, Xiaofeng hugged Qingkui and was cleaning her arrow wound. Ye Tan opened his mouth, but there was no sound. She had no choice but to point to Qing Kui with her finger. Gu Haichao said: "The situation is not good."
Ye Tan moved to Qing Kui with all her strength, her face was as white as paper, and the infiltration of demonic energy made it impossible for her wound to stop bleeding no matter what. If it weren't for the slight ups and downs of her chest, Ye Tan would have suspected that she was dead.
"She is not a mortal, what is the real body of your sisters?" Xiaofeng's eyes were red, "Who do I need to save her?"
Ye Tan got up and said, "There is someone who can... Dong Qiushu. I'll go find him."
"Dongqiu Shu?" Gu Haichao frowned, of course he knew about this well-known power of the Four Realms. He said: "He is elusive, his whereabouts are erratic, where do you go to find him? Hidden sea of consciousness?"
Ye Tan shook his head: "He's not hiding the Sea of Consciousness, you wait for me here."
She stood up unsteadily and walked to the mouth of the valley. The entire Guiying Valley is covered with tangled vines and corpses. Ye Tan really had no strength, she leaned against the ancient tree and shouted loudly: "Dongqiu Shu! I know you are here!"
As soon as she fell down, the breeze moved slightly, and Dongqiu Shu stretched his robe sleeves, and appeared directly in front of her. No one knew where he was or how he showed up.
He stared at Ye Tan, but there was not much emotion in his eyes. Ye Tan said: "My sister was injured by the magic arrow, you can save her, right?"
Dong Qiushu played with the leaves he picked from nowhere, and said, "Yes. But my child, you shouldn't have this attitude when you ask for help."
Ye Tan bit her lip, she understood what Dong Qiushu meant, it was nothing more than asking her to submit. With my sister at stake, submission was no big deal. She bent her knees and fell to her knees: "Please, sir, save my sister."
Dong Qiushu sighed and said, "When you ask for help, you can't just have a humble attitude."
Ye Tan slowly lowered her body, touched her forehead to the ground, and said: "As long as the master saves my sister, I am willing..." She choked on the blood and coughed a few times, "I am willing to be loyal to the master, and I will obey the order of the master."
"That's right." Dong Qiushu said flatly, "I like children who are obedient and witty. Since you said so, then... I want Wenren Youqin and the three of them to merge today and wake up Shao Dian Youqin. Remember, it's today."
Ye Tan gritted his teeth, kowtowed to him again, and said, "Yes!"
