Ma Xiaoyu took out some pomelo leaves and wiped her eyes again, then looked at the scroll, which was still , Yin Xiu did see something from it, which was scriptures and spells. So Ma Xiaoyu was certain that this was probably the wordless heavenly book that only Yin Xiu could see. "Why me?" Yin Xiu was a little uncertain. Ma Xiaoyu smiled, "Others haven't had such an opportunity yet, but you are suspicious." "It's not that I doubt it, I just don't dare to believe it." Yin Xiu could only smile. He understood that even if he read the spell on the scroll to Ma Xiaoyu, she might not be able to hear it at all. Because the magic in this wordless heavenly book has changed from "the magic is not to be passed on to three ears" to "the magic is not to be passed on to two people." Only Yin Xiu could see and understand the scriptures above, while others could only see blank paper, even Ma Xiaoyu was no exception. At this time, the White Phoenix and the White Peacock gradually woke up. Perhaps because their internal organs were injured, they were unable to speak for a while, until Yin Xiu used the "Hand of Light" to heal them, and then they finally recovered.
Neither of them could see the records on the scroll, but like Ma Xiaoyu, they only saw a piece of white paper. In this case, Yin Xiu was afraid that they would be implicated in some kind of karma, so he just put the scroll away. After looking around, he walked to Grandma Lin's side. At this time, Grandma Lin was leaning against the wall. Seeing Yin Xiu coming, she said fiercely: "Young man, our work is not over yet!" "I know." Yoon Soo squatted down. "Although I have thought of other ways to achieve my goal, after thinking about it, I still want to ask you directly, can you help me get rid of the witchcraft like this?" "Are you saying now that you can threaten me, but you don't intend to do so in order to show your magnanimity?" Grandma Lin sneered. "I didn't mean that." Yin Xiu shook his head, "I am just seriously asking you to consider my proposal. I know you are capable, but even if I kill you or everyone here, I am afraid the poison in my body will be triggered. Or I have vaguely guessed that if someone in this team dies or I attack him, the insect will be triggered. So I can only ask you here to help me get rid of that poisonous insect." "Why should I help you?" One of Mrs. Lin's hands had already grasped the bell in her sleeve. "You must know that I am the most terrible and disgusting old witch. When they see me on the road, they will stay away from me and smash any bowl I have used. If I stand in front of their door for a while, they will fumigate with mugwort and burn the place where I am standing until it is red or black, only then will they feel at ease. I'm such a vicious person who has been bad all my life. Why do you expect me to suddenly be kind and help you get rid of the poison? You are telling the biggest joke in the world, but I don't think it's funny, I just think you are extremely stupid." She cackled like a noisy crow.
The sound also attracted her granddaughter Aya, but Aya just stood aside and did not come closer. Because she knew that Grandma Lin was always unwilling to let her get close to her. Even when eating, one of them was inside the door and the other was outside the door, and they would never sit together. "I am not kidding." Yin Xiu was not angry, nor did he care about Lin Po's sarcasm at all. "I would like you to help me remove this poisonous insect, because I have determined that it is too difficult for me to dismantle a bomb whose location and composition I have no idea of. So I can only sincerely ask you for help." "for what?" Grandma Lin's eyes widened. "A strong man like you, are you willing to put down your pride and talk to an enemy like me like this?" "Although it sounds hypocritical, empty and empty, I still have to say it..." Yin Xiu looked serious, "This is for the sake of the world." "For the sake of the world?" Grandma Lin stared at him and said, "Such a high-sounding excuse would make even a child laugh. You are a strong man for being able to say it without blushing or having your heart beating fast." However, Grandma Lin knew that only when a person truly thought so and said so openly could he remain calm. "Mother-in-law, just treat me as a child who doesn't understand. Don't bother with me. Just let me go this time and have mercy on me." Yin Xiu said with a smile. "What did you call me?" Grandma Lin laughed, "No one dares to call me that, not even my granddaughter." The laughter was still as unpleasant as before, just like the witch in people's impression, scratching everyone's ears. After her laughter stopped, her expression darkened and she whispered, "The leader cannot compare to you, because he is not someone who would bow to his enemies for the sake of the world. You are much more magnanimous than him, but it's a pity that you are not a Miao." Boom! When Grandma Lin opened her hand again, the bronze bell in her palm had been crushed into pieces. As she exerted force, the wounds on her body could no longer be suppressed, and blood gushed out of her robe and gradually flowed to the ground. Yin Xiu felt his throat tighten. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of acid. In the liquid, there was a wriggling beetle the size of a fingernail. The beetle was pitch black with three white spots on its back, which was slightly gray. Is this the Gu worm? Before Yin Xiu could take a closer look, Ma Xiaoyu had already thrown a piece of talisman paper over and burned the insect to ashes. "Don't look." She said concernedly. "It's okay, it's okay." As the two were talking like this, suppressed sobbing could be heard all around them. Mrs. Lin is dead. She had been affected in the previous battle and had been seriously injured, but she was just holding on.
But just now, she had exhausted her last breath and closed her eyes. At this time, the number of Miao people still alive was less than half of the original number. Even Qingmu Bo was pierced through the heart by Yin Yue's sword without knowing when, and lay dead on the side. Ye Tianwen looked at this scene with a gloomy expression. Then he finally looked at Yoon-su. "We have shed so much blood, we can't just pretend nothing happened." "Haven't you learned your lesson from this?" Yin Xiu let go of Ma Xiaoyu and walked forward slowly. "Some things cannot be obtained with just passion." Yin Xiu sighed, "It's like a monkey seeing the moon in the mountain stream and reaching out to catch it, often costing his life." "Then what do you want me to do?" Instead, Ye Tianwen was a little confused. He knew that although they were both in the state of synaesthesia, the gap between him and Yin Xiu in his performance just now was like the difference between heaven and earth. Even though he was still confident that he could resist with his fists and feet, he didn't know any magic, and the two consultants who were good at using witchcraft were both dead. He had lost confidence in confronting Yin Xiu. "Take the people away, go back to southern Xinjiang, and live a good life." Yin Xiu reminded him, "Is it not necessary to sacrifice so many lives for the ambitions of our ancestors?" "Why do you teach me how to do things?" Ye Tian asked indignantly. "Why?" Yin Xiu stole a glance at Bai Fenghuang and Bai Kongque, both of whom were worried. "It's easy for me to kill you. You should know that I'm not here to persuade you to go back, but to let you go. That's all." Yin Xiu didn't give Ye Tianwen any face at all, and his words were sharp and unpleasant. "But I won't let you go just like that, I want you to promise me one thing. That is, as long as they live, the Miao people will never rise up in rebellion, will not collude with the French or the Japanese, and will just live their own lives in peace. You must swear to heaven on this matter and stake all your guarantees on it." "Well?" Ye Tianwen felt like something was stuck in his throat. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "So, won't I have to stay in Miaojiang for the rest of my life?" "You're mistaken." Yin Xiu said seriously: "When I say my lifetime, I mean my lifetime, not others. As long as I am alive, the Miao people must not act rashly." "Ah."
Ye Tianwen smiled bitterly, "If that's the case, I will have to pray sincerely every day, begging you to die soon." "You can just pray like this and curse me to death." Yin Xiu spread his hands, "In order to let you know that I am alive, I will also do many big things, so that the younger generation of the Miao people will not dare to move because of my reputation." "In this case, it will only take thirty years." Ye Tianwen's smile became even more bitter, "Only thirty years, I will be old, and the Miao people will no longer have the ambition to start a rebellion." He stared at Yin Xiu again and said, "Although I am pitiful, the only thing left in my life is to live, but you are more pitiful than me. Because you are neither willing to raise an army to conquer the world, nor will you become a running dog of the imperial court. You just watch from the sidelines, becoming the loneliest person in the world. Others may not mention you, but once they mention you, they will say you are the stupidest and most hypocritical person in the world. Is this what you want?" When Ma Xiaoyu heard this, she couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She walked forward, stood behind Yin Xiu, and gently held his hand. She originally thought that Yin Xiu's hands should have become cold, but in fact his palms were warm and soft, and were not affected by Ye Tianwen's words at all. Yin Xiu gently squeezed Ma Xiaoyu's hand in response, indicating that she was fine. He didn't want to say too much to Ye Tianwen, so he just stretched out his other hand and said, "Clap your hands three times as an oath." "You only said that we cannot raise an army in our lifetime, but you didn't say that we can't kill you, right? Yin Xiu, I will concentrate on my training, and one day I will defeat you." "Okay, I'll wait for you anytime." Yin Xiu said frankly. Ye Tianwen had no choice but to reach out and high-five him. Ripples appeared in space... Ren Qi and A Ke had spent another night in the mountains. It seemed that the flow of time in this gap was different from that elsewhere. They came out of the house only after the wind and snow stopped. By this time, A Ke had completely adapted to Ren Qi's tyranny, and her face was rosy, like a flower blooming after the rain. Under the sun, the ice and snow melted, and the clouds in the distance dispersed, revealing the clear blue sky. "Are we going back?" When A Ke asked this, she actually felt that it didn't matter whether she went back or not. Ren Qi Ze's expression remained the same, cold and resolute. "I have some unfinished business, so I have to go back." "Oh." A Ke nodded obediently and said, "It doesn't matter what happens to me." Ren Qi glanced at her and only thought about how to place her after returning. At this moment, ripples appeared around them.
"It looks like the [pore] is about to open." Sensing this keenly, Ren Qi protected A Ke by his side and looked towards one of the places vigilantly. Then they discovered that the world, which was originally as neat and flat as a mirror, suddenly had a piece fall off and cracked, revealing an image of another place. Ma Xiaoyu stood beside Yin Xiu, while Yin Xiu was high-fiving Ye Tianwen as an oath. "We can go back!" Although it didn't matter where she was, she was still happy to be able to return to Jiaozhi and be with that group of people. "Yes, just go through the hole." Ren Qi said this, but suddenly said: "You go back first." "what?" A Ke was stunned for a moment, "Didn't we agree to go together?" "We had originally agreed to go together, but I have to change my mind. Sorry." Ren Qi whispered. "Did I make you unhappy?" A Ke lowered her head, wondering if it was the red birthmark on her face that made Ren Qi dislike her. "I don't need a lot of things, just..." Before she could finish, Ren Qi had already reached out his hand to her face, gently stroking A Ke's face, and his thumb gently touched the small butterfly-shaped birthmark. A flaw in a jade only makes it special, but does not make it lose its color and luster. "Do you think I won't be responsible and just play around?" Ren Qi laughed before he started talking seriously. "You told me before that you were seventeen, right? I'm thirty-seven now, and time is different for you and me. A lot of things change in a few years, so I have to hurry up.” He looked at A Ke's face, and felt a sense of tenderness and softness on his fingertips. Finally, he hardened his heart and said, "If you can wait, wait for me for a few years. If you can't wait for three years, or if you don't want to wait, just pretend that I don't exist." "I'm just waiting for you." A Ke's eyes were red, but no tears fell. Because she remembered that it was very unlucky for a man to cry before he went out. "What else do you want me to do?" A Ke asked. "After you get out, just follow them back to the Miao village. I'll go find you there after we've dealt with the matter." A Ke nodded, "What if Brother Yin and the others ask?" Ren Qi snorted, "Just tell them that I'm going to solve a small problem, don't worry about me for now, and they will know."
"Ah." A Ke nodded heavily again, took one last look at Ren Qi, then turned around and stepped into the gap resolutely. The ripples in the space swayed for a moment and then disappeared. Ren Qi watched A Ke leave, then looked up at the sky. I saw a mountain suddenly appearing in the gap, with palaces and buildings with flying eaves on it, stacked up one after another, like a fairy mountain isolated from the world. Under the sun, Ren Qi squinted his eyes and looked at the sacred mountain, his hand unconsciously pressing on the sword. That's why he stayed here. Looking at the mountain, a forbidden, almost forgotten name was about to emerge in his mind. Xiandu. (End of this chapter)
