The years I was in the human world
Chapter 47: The Guilty Book
Yu Zhao was lonely and helpless when he was young, but fortunately he was protected by Ye Yunzhou. He became a disciple of a master and was loved by his master and brother, so he never felt resentment and still had a chivalrous heart. He once risked his life to protect the people. But who would have expected that this fatal arrow piercing the heart would come from behind?
Ye Yunzhou put down the longbow in his hand and looked at Yaoguang without any sadness or joy: "You promised, you can't break your promise."
Yaoguang walked gracefully in front of Yu Zhao with lotus steps, lowered her eyes to look at the dying woman kneeling on the ground, and said with a half-mocking and half-sighing tone: "Look, the person you like is just like this."
The words were spoken very softly, and after sighing, when the cultivators who were scattered by the evil spirits gathered together, Yaoguang took out the crime book that had been prepared long ago from her sleeve and read aloud: "Zhu Huang Yu Zhao, colluded with evil spirits and harmed the people. His crime is unforgivable. Today, the Lord of Chen has killed his own relatives for the sake of justice. He has been arrested. I order all Taoist friends to be witnesses and take Yu Zhao back to the final court for trial and conviction."
After saying this, Yaoguang threw the crime book in her hand in front of Yuzhao. The edge of the silk cloth was instantly stained red by the blood on the ground, which was extremely ironic.
"My queen, Yu Zhao had previously moved most of the civilians out of Rongcheng and hid them in Dongshan. What happened to those people?" Jiang Ling led his men to escort a man who was beaten to a bloody pulp and reported to Yaoguang, "This guy didn't tell me where he was hiding. His skin and flesh were all torn apart."
"Then search their souls. You think you are a cultivator? Do you need me to teach you this?" Yaoguang saw that the man was covered in rotten flesh and blood. The smell of blood made her cover her nose in disgust. She said, confusing right and wrong, "The people that Yu Zhao hid in Dongshan have been possessed by evil spirits. They can no longer be kept. Get rid of them."
"Using soul-searching on a mortal, is this right..." Jiang Ling hesitated. The order he received was that Yu Zhao was raising ghosts in Dongshan, and he was asked to eradicate his minions. When he came, he was indeed filled with ghostly aura. It would be fine for other people, but You Rong had a fiery aura, and it was definitely impossible for him to be an evil ghost. It was inappropriate to torture him severely in order to force Yu Zhao to tell him where the evil ghosts were hiding.
If the soul is searched, even a cultivator will go crazy and stupid, and a mortal will probably die on the spot because he cannot endure such tremendous pain. Even if he dies, his soul will be incomplete and he cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Jiang Ling didn't want to go back and be targeted by those troublesome guys in Beidu Court because of the crime of humiliating a mortal.
"They slandered Yu Zhao for being in league with evil spirits, and concealed the truth from everyone and destroyed the evidence. Yaoguang and Ye Yunzhou are quite cunning." Li Lanyin gnashed her teeth in hatred when she saw this. She glared at Gu Yin and said, "Is this how you look after my daughter for me?"
Gu Yin remained silent. He had been in the Sword Tomb for many years, but this was the first time he knew all this. His clenched fingers made his palms bleed. Baili Changqing was not much better than Gu Yin. He looked at Yu Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground in a blood-red dress under the setting sun. He thought of the lawless girl in his place in the past, and Yu Zhao's words: "With Master and Senior Brother here, how could I be wronged?"
But even at this time, he and Lin Xiyang were unable to protect her due to an accident, and she had to bear everything alone.
What happened afterwards was exactly the same as the records in Shiqu Pavilion. Jiang Ling led people to wipe out the remnants of Dongshan, but he did not want to incur the resentment of the souls of the undead who died on the battlefield. The evil spirits made a comeback and Dongshan completely became a den of ghosts.
At the end of the scene, an evil ghost crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He picked up someone else's fallen left arm and put it on himself. He stared at the Zhongzhou Final Court with resentment in his eyes, then covered his head in pain and screamed to the sky. His tongue in his open mouth had been bitten off, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
"I've read it. When it comes to privacy, we evil ghosts are not even half as good as the righteous ones." The beautiful ghost sat there with a gloating look on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Li Lanyin, "Empress Yin Ji, don't you think so?"
Li Lanyin closed her eyes. She was already an evil ghost. Compared to the pain and regret of Gu Yin and Baili Changqing, she felt much more hatred after seeing her daughter's past. If there were not some things she had not asked clearly, she would have been on her way to tear Yaoguang and Ye Yunzhou apart.
"What happened next?" Li Lanyin asked Gu Yin. She thought Yu Zhao would at most suffer some imprisonment, but would not lose his life.
"Madam Yin Ji, you ask me, how can I know?" Yan Gui said lazily, pointing the bamboo flute in his hand at Lu Zhouxue who was leaning on Xiao Fengzhuo's arms with a pale face, "Zhu Huang Nirvana, Xue Feng was born by the will of heaven, you should ask him about your daughter's matter."
"What do you mean?" Li Lanyin paused. She understood what the ghost said, but subconsciously she didn't want to believe it. Her daughter had passed away, so shouldn't she still be alive? She stared blankly at Lu Zhouxue, who raised his cold eyes to look at her. Li Lanyin's terrifying evil ghost face showed a funny look of confusion, "How could he be my daughter?"
Subconsciously, Li Lanyin said what was in her heart. Lu Zhouxue stood up while being half-hugged by Xiao Fengzhuo: "I am indeed not Yu Zhao."
"My little girl, is she gone just like that?" Li Lanyin looked panicked. Lu Zhouxue looked at her and sighed softly. He said, "I have Yu Zhao's memories. If you are curious about her past, I will record it with a jade talisman and send it to you in a few days."
"You replaced my mother!" Lu Zhouxue meant well, but he didn't expect Yin Ji to suddenly go crazy and strangle him by the neck. She glared at him with red eyes full of resentment and looked mentally confused. No one could react for a moment.
"What's going on?" Baili Changqing asked, drawing his sword and about to help.
"Who knows about her? Anyway, she has a problem of going crazy from time to time." The beautiful ghost who had been well-behaved all the time laughed, and suddenly started to attack. He blew the bamboo flute in his hand, and for a moment, a strong wind blew. It seemed that the ghost den in Dongshan behind Rongcheng was being awakened by him.
Baili Changqing saw that something was wrong, so he put Li Lanyin aside for the time being and went to deal with Yan Gui first. He drew his sword and pointed it at Gongsun Wuyin's throat, but he didn't expect that he couldn't hurt Gongsun Wuyin at all. Baili Changqing's face changed: "You!"
Gongsun Wuyin and Yin Ji were both red evil ghosts, but they didn't expect that this beautiful ghost, although she looked humble, had already reached the level of a red evil ghost at an early stage, and was heading straight for the Asura path.
"Master, don't be so surprised." Gongsun Wuyin was not anxious or annoyed when Baili Changqing stopped playing the flute. He flashed and suddenly climbed behind Baili Changqing when he reappeared. He blew softly in his ear, "We are all unforgivable ghosts. What's so surprising about such abilities?"
Baili Changqing's face changed, and he was about to stab the ghost with his sword, but Gongsun Wuyin stopped his wrist halfway. He licked Baili Changqing's earlobe and said softly: "Master, my flute sound was once the best in the world. Would you like a first-class one?" As he spoke, his soft and boneless hands went to untie Baili Changqing's belt.
Baili Changqing was too busy to take care of himself. Lu Zhouxue's face was instantly reddened by Yin Ji's pinching, and the latter was about to dig out his heart with her other hand.
Lu Zhouxue quickly chanted a spell to save herself. Seeing this, Xiao Fengzhuo also drew his sword to chop off Yin Ji's arms, but was intercepted by Gu Yin, who also dissolved the spell that Lu Zhouxue had condensed.
"Master Gu, what do you mean?" Xiao Fengzhuo was shaken away by Gu Yin's sword energy. His right hand was already injured, and now there seemed to be some minor problems with the tendons in his left hand. He looked at Gu Yin with displeasure, "Master Gu, even if you want to protect Yin Ji, you should also consider my Mianmian's life!"
"She's already gone mad. If you continue to stimulate her, she'll completely lose her mind." Gu Yin didn't refute Xiao Fengzhuo's accusation, but he didn't move away either. He used a spell to restrain Xiao Fengzhuo's hands and feet, and took advantage of Lu Zhouxue being entangled by the female ghost to seal his spiritual energy. He would rather Lu Zhouxue die than not protect the mad Yin Ji. "I won't let you hurt him."
"So Master Gu wants my Mianmian to die?" Xiao Fengzhuo laughed in anger, ignoring the backlash of his spiritual power and began to attack the immobilization spell that Gu Yin had cast on him. "We still don't know if this evil ghost is the real Li Lanyin, Master Gu, aren't you afraid of making a mistake?"
"Even if it's a mistake, it's better than missing it." Gu Yin said. He knew that protecting the evil ghost and ignoring Lu Zhouxue's life had violated his beliefs, but who knew his suffering? He stayed in the sword tomb for a hundred years, and when he came out, he found that his daughter was dead, and his wife had already become an evil ghost.
His persistence during those years at the Sword Tomb seemed like a joke. He thought that if he agreed to "Li Lanyin"'s words and guarded the Sword Tomb, he could save his daughter's life and make Zhongting treat her better. The "Li Lanyin" who didn't want him to go to the Sword Tomb was all fake, which instead deprived him of the opportunity to protect his daughter.
Lu Zhouxue knew that Gu Yin would not save him, and he did not care about that. He immediately grabbed Yin Ji's hand that was digging at his heart, and poured the Sui Mu that he had cultivated when he was the Snow God into her hand from the female ghost's palm. His soul was cut by the cold air that was as real as substance. Yin Ji screamed in pain and became more and more manic.
At this time, Xiao Fengzhuo also broke free from the immobilization spell. He drained all the spiritual power in his body and condensed it into a stream of energy that penetrated mountains and rivers and rushed towards Yin Ji. The female ghost staggered back a few steps and was caught by Gu Yin.
Xiao Fengzhuo's spiritual power was completely gone, and he swayed a little weakly, barely standing still. He also went to help Lu Zhouxue who escaped from Yin Ji's hands. He put his back hand under his neck and kept coughing. There was a purple handprint on his delicate white skin. Some places were pierced by Yin Ji's nails and blood was oozing out. Xiao Fengzhuo patted his back worriedly and said, "Are you okay?"
Lu Zhouxue recovered his breath, raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yin with cold eyes and said: "Master Gu has such a cruel heart. Are you afraid that A Zhuo and I will hurt your lover, so I should die?" He had just cast a spell to save himself. If Gu Yin hadn't intervened and dispersed his spiritual power, how could he have been almost strangled to death by Yin Ji?
Gu Yin said nothing, but cast a Heart Clearing Mantra at Yin Ji's crown. He was indeed in the wrong, so he accepted the accusations made by Xiao Fengzhuo and Lu Zhouxue. However, even though he admitted his mistakes, he did not intend to turn back. He summoned a lotus platform and took Yin Ji in. The female ghost was now insane and her Taoism was not as good as Gu Yin, so naturally she had to be subdued.
However, Gu Yin seemed to have other plans. After taking Yin Ji in, he even wanted to take Lu Zhouxue away, and attacked the latter with his sword in hand.
Lu Zhouxue hurriedly pushed Xiao Fengzhuo away, and dodged as well. Looking at Gu Yin, his expression turned completely cold: "You restrained your strength when dealing with evil spirits, but you resorted to swordplay when it came to me. What a chivalrous and righteous Master Gu."
"Lan Yin is insane. You are Yu Zhao's Nirvana. Perhaps you can comfort her. I still have some questions for you." Gu Yin spoke politely, his sword moves becoming more and more brutal. "So you still need to go with Lan Yin and me."
"Is it a question that has not been answered, or do you want to find a way to revive Yu Zhao from me?" Lu Zhouxue dodged another sword without leaving any trace on the snow, and did not fight back. Gu Yin's thoughts were not very well hidden, and he could see through them at a glance. Therefore, no matter how upright a person is, it is difficult for them to be selfless when it comes to matters concerning loved ones and friends.
"Changqing said that you are extremely talented, even better than he was back then, is this all you can do?" Seeing that he had been avoiding the issue and not confronting her head-on, Gu Yin thought that Baili Changqing was exaggerating, and frowned in disappointment, but became even more ruthless in his attack, "Since you are Yu Zhao's successor, haven't you learned even a little bit of what she did back then?"
In the secret realm, Yu Zhao defeated thousands of troops with one sword, which was full of heroic spirit. However, Lu Zhouxue was timid and did not have any of Zhu Huang's former spirit. Gu Yin felt a little depressed when he thought that his daughter was supported by such a helpless person.
"Yu Zhao is your Yu Zhao, and has nothing to do with me." Lu Zhouxue couldn't lift the sword, but that did not mean he was unfamiliar with swordsmanship. On the contrary, because of Xiao Yueheng, his swordsmanship was very exquisite. Even Qiu Guan Yize, who was famous for his murderousness, only dared to say that he was equal to him. Although Gu Yin was a sword god, Lu Zhouxue could see through all the sword moves he used at a glance.
Lu Zhouxue's fingertips were wrapped with sky-white silk, which glowed with a cold light and looked beautiful and dangerous, but Gu Yin felt that it was a bit superficial. He could cut it with one sword, but he didn't expect that the seemingly fragile silk thread was actually very flexible, and his sword, which could cut iron like mud, couldn't cut it.
If it was just the magic weapon that was powerful, it would be fine. But the silk thread could actually accurately predict his next sword move and intercept his attack in advance. Lu Zhouxue just stepped on the snow without leaving any trace, and used only his fingers to control the silk thread, fighting with him in a playful manner. "Someone once taught me that you should use softness to overcome hardness. Master Gu doesn't seem to understand such a simple principle."
This kind of fight was very frustrating. Gu Yin couldn't use his own moves, nor could he move the person controlling the silk thread.
Baili Changqing did not gain any advantage at the hands of Gongsun Wuyin. The latter was stepped on a few times but suffered no actual damage. His hair, which had been tied up not long ago, had to be cut off by Baili Changqing's sword, and it fell down like a waterfall.
The ghost's clothes were already revealing, and after fighting with Baili Changqing for a while, his clothes were torn into pieces, unable to cover much of his beauty, and a large area of his chest, which was covered with scars, was exposed. He licked the wound on his hand caused by the sword energy coquettishly, looked at Baili Changqing angrily and said, "Master, you are so cruel."
Baili Changqing had been cultivating for many years, but had he ever seen someone as charming and dissolute as Gongsun Wuyin? He was afraid that his clothes would be lost in the fight, so he was more restrained when he started fighting: "I have already held back. If you don't start, I won't embarrass you."
