Yancheng Special Office

The world outside the mountain is in chaos again, and the cave at the bottom of the mountain is not much better.Pei Mengfei was scratched all over by the paw prints on the face of the cat that unfortunately hit the broken crystal and went crazy, but he really couldn't bear to hurt it, so he could only find a random rope to tie the cat up.

Without Su Jian being by his side to protect him in every possible way, he could only choose to be strong and protect himself.

His quartz watch was shattered in the fight, and the time stopped forever at [-]:[-] in the morning.I don't know how long it took, but the turmoil outside gradually calmed down.

The little fox walked around the cat tremblingly, crawled over and licked the back of Pei Mengfei's hand, and asked him in blunt human terms: "What's wrong outside?"

Pei Mengfei looked down at it, sighed and said honestly: "I don't know, why don't we go out and have a look."

Pei Mengfei picked up the little fox and walked out of the cave. Under the gunpowder smoke, Qinling Taibai was beyond recognition.He had never seen such a scene before, and everything was going on at a very slow speed: the broken crystals falling from the sky, as well as the shattered and splashed souls of human beings, were all wandering in the air like dots of fireflies, Like countless spirits wandering the world in the long night.

After a while, the diffuse things in the sight finally slowly settled.Pei Mengfei saw a person stumbling in the woods, holding a crystal clear bead in his hand, trying to catch as many broken souls as possible.

The color of the bead became brighter and brighter, and finally condensed into a dazzling light.

Pei Mengfei recognized that figure as Deputy Minister Bai of the Ministry of Public Security, but was stunned the moment he turned around.After seeing each other for a few hours, Bai Yan seemed to have suddenly aged many years, his eyes looked tired and cloudy, and his temples and stubble were graying.

But he didn't seem to be aware of the changes in himself, because all his attention was on the Soul Sealing Pendant in his hand.

Pei Mengfei walked up and shouted in panic: "Vice Minister Bai... why are you here alone?"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Pei Mengfei was surprised again: "Is that thing in your hand the legendary soul-sealing pendant? Whose spirit is in it?"

Seeing Pei Mengfei, Bai Yan suddenly thought of something, and asked without beginning or end: "Do you know where the mountain soul of Taibai Mountain is?"

Pei Mengfei looked at him blankly, wondering if what he asked was really on his mind.Then I heard Bai Yan say: "Mount Taibai is a sacred mountain that existed from the beginning of the Three Realms, and there must be a mountain soul... The surroundings of the mountain soul are the places with the most spiritual energy. Only there can Song Ting regain his human form."

"You mean Dr. Song is in there too?"

Pei Mengfei looked at the bead in Bai Yan's hand in surprise.There are many creatures the size of fingernails stored inside like miniature models.

Most of them looked like people, old and young, men and women, all crowded together.There is also a small bright spot with no specific shape, curled up and lying quietly in the middle of the Soul Sealing Pendant.

Intuition told him that that little bright spot was Song Ting's spirit.

"Doctor Song is actually a monster..."

Pei Mengfei couldn't believe it, but honestly pointed to the cave where they hid just now: "The deepest part of the cave we hid in is the place closest to the mountain soul, but..."

"I don't have much time left..." Bai Yan was a little anxious: "Once the power of Yaoyu is exhausted, Song Ting will never be able to wake up."

Bai Yan walked into the cave without looking back, not even intending to listen carefully to the second half of Pei Mengfei's sentence.Pei Mengfei froze on the spot, staring blankly at the little fox in his arms.

——It's just that if the demon wants to restore the human form as quickly as possible, can't it just be done by borrowing the spiritual power of the mountain soul?

Vice Minister Bai may not be able to accept the price of exchanging his soul.

Unlike Jiuxiao, the mountain soul in the human world has been silent for too long. Although it has been in turmoil, it has never really woken up.Walking to the deepest point, the broken souls in the soul-sealing pendant seemed to sense the aura around them, scrambling to get out of it.

Bai Yan smashed open the Soul Sealing Pendant without hesitation, and countless glowing lights flew out of it.He carefully picked up the weakest strand, keeping it in his palm as best he could.

"Song Ting, wake up..."

The fragile light spot flickered as frequently as breathing, but there was no movement at all.

The rest of the broken souls around are also working hard to restore their original appearance.Some wandered around, and some floated out of the cave along the passage.

But without exception, those light spots did not return to their original appearance, but gradually dimmed, and finally one by one escaped into the endless darkness and re-entered the road of reincarnation.

"How could this be..." Bai Yan lost his mind and said, "Could it be that the spiritual power of the dignified mountain soul is not enough for these ordinary broken souls to recover?"

"The power of the Three Realms is not as abundant as before..." Song Ting's voice sounded ethereal: "Old Bai, it seems that it will take a long time for me to recover my human form."

"You don't have enough time. The demon domain will disappear soon, and all the souls of mountains and rivers in this world will be silenced... On that day, you will never be able to change back into a human being." Bai Yan suddenly turned around, trying to use his bare hands. Break open those stone walls that don't know how long they have been piled up.

The sound of knocking hit those stone walls, accompanied by his hysterical anger: "Mountain Soul, wake me up quickly! I order you to wake up now!"

I don't know if I really heard the call, but there was a rumbling sound from the ground.As if the whole mountain suddenly had a heartbeat, the mountain suddenly woke up.

Luo Wenxiu, who was still halfway up the mountain, suddenly felt the person on his back move, only to hear someone murmur in his ear: "...I seem to have heard something just now."

"It's the sound of the mountain waking up." Luo Wenxiu said, "It's probably because someone woke up Taibai's mountain soul before you."

Su Jian lowered her head, thought for a while, but finally said nothing.

It took a lot of physical strength for Luo Wenxiu to move forward with a heavy load. Even though the wind was howling on the top of the mountain, sweat soaked his entire clothes.But he didn't dare to let go at all, and finally carried Su Jian to Baxiantai step by step.

He put Su Jian on a flat place and leaned aside to breathe.At this time, there was a rare silence all around, and there was no monster chasing up yet.The sun cast a feather-like ray of light from the dense dark clouds, but that ray of sunshine was fleeting, as if it didn't intend to leave anyone with a chance to linger for a moment.

When Luo Wenxiu got up, Su Jian met her eyes, seeing her haggard and unshaven appearance from the bottom of his eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.Then he smiled wryly and said, "I've imagined countless endings about me, but I never thought it would be like this."

"How do you know it will be the end." Su Jian smiled and said, "What if it's another beginning?"

"can you?"

Luo Wenxiu's voice was very soft, as if he was speaking for himself.Su Jian watched quietly as he held the trembling stick in his hand, and his eyes stayed on it carefully for a long time, as if looking at a precious handicraft.

A gust of wind blew by, raising a storm of snow all over the sky.Su Jian only felt a blur in front of her eyes, as if she suddenly returned to the naughty boy thousands of years ago, sitting on the top of the mountain and pestering someone day after day.

And that person is always like a statue sitting on the top of a snow mountain overlooking all living beings, talking intermittently what Su Jian doesn't want to hear and can't listen to, just like the original appearance.

"Do you still remember that I once said that one day I would have a head-to-head confrontation with Xing Ye?" Luo Wenxiu said slowly: "It's not that I didn't know it was my brother's fault. It's just that I blindly wanted to prove what I guarded Things are right, so I didn't take your feelings into consideration. I didn't expect you to suffer for thousands of years... Si Yuan, don't hate me."

Su Jian silently looked at the person in front of him in hesitation and surprise, suddenly his eyes were red, he didn't know whether it was ecstasy or sadness in his heart, almost tears rolled in his eyes.He stood up, walked up to Luo Wenxiu and said, "Yao Huang...you believe me, I never blamed you."

Luo Wenxiu lowered his head, and Su Jian saw a faint smile on his face.

At that moment, Su Jian could hardly tell who the person in front of her was, or he could be anyone.But as soon as such thoughts flashed through his mind, Su Jian regretted it—because he found that he could only be a humble apprentice and a weak person in front of Yaohuang forever.

Perhaps his current ability has far surpassed that of Yaohuang back then, but deep down in his heart he still respects him.This kind of respect made him dare not show his frivolous side, so he respectfully said: "The mountain soul of Taibai Mountain was awakened by your inspiration, and I think it probably alarmed the entire Tiangong. Now that the Demon Realm has been destroyed, The human world is in trouble, I wonder what the Twelve Golden Immortals have planned?"

"Of course they don't care about the human world." Yao Huang said lightly, "Actually, those stubborn old men in the God Realm hope that the Three Realms will be reshuffled. When the chaos reaches a certain level, they can sit back and enjoy the benefits of being a fisherman and take over again. The power of the Three Realms."

Su Jian smiled slightly: "You don't think so, do you?"

"That's why I woke up the mountain soul." Yao Huang raised the trembling stick over his shoulders and said, "I started this matter, and I will naturally end it. Si Yuan... I still want to thank you for doing everything possible to help me get it all together." The spirits that were scattered all over the place back then. When I replace the seal again, you can rest well."

Su Jian seemed to have sensed something was wrong, so she quickly stopped in front of Yaohuang and said, "Hey, wait, wait...then what!"

Yao Huang looked puzzled: "What else do you want to say?"

"Let me take a look, you want to re-strengthen the big seal, right?"

Yao Huang nodded.

"Then your spiritual consciousness will be shattered again, and the world will be full of Bund...?"

Yao Huang hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.

Su Jian was speechless to this straight man to the point of choking, so he stammered: "This, it's not very good..."

"You don't want to part with this body?"

Yao Huang said this out of nowhere.

"It's not a question of whether you're willing or not... You see, the body you're using now belongs to a brat named Luo Wenxiu. It's not appropriate to let someone collapse like this, right..."

Su Jian stumbled here, but Yao Huang said: "But I heard from this kid that he has already asked Jiuxiao's mountain soul to pinch a new body for him."

A drop of cold sweat broke out from Su Jian's back: "Dare you hear our conversation all the time? May I ask when did it start?"

"It was a long time ago. But don't get me wrong, I just look at it occasionally, and I haven't participated in any decisions between you two."

Su Jian: ...

At this time, rustling noises began to be heard in the distance. Su Jian nervously turned her head and glanced at the direction down the mountain. In the dense fog, there seemed to be a figure of a monster chasing after her.The spiritual power around the Three Boundary Monument fluctuated violently, and something was about to come out.

Su Jian asked suddenly: "Yao Huang, I have one last question... Did you arrange for Luo Wenxiu to be stationed in Yan?"

Yao Huang was a little surprised. He shook his head and said, "Before Luo Wenxiu came into contact with my first piece of spiritual consciousness, I never really woke up in the human world."

Su Jian's eyes dimmed, and she sighed, "I see."

The trembling stick slowly rose from Yaohuang's hand, and gradually bathed in a small piece of sunlight.The surrounding broken crystals approached little by little, and finally all gathered together.

Something is changing subtly.

"Si Yuan, you've tortured yourself for too long... just let me go from now on."

The author says:

Yao Huang: "Don't get me wrong, I have never been involved in any decision between you two."

Su Jian: "Then you swear that kid Luo Wenxiu has been eager to become number one, and it really wasn't your idea?"

Yaohuang: "This... I'm not very good at talking about it." (laughs)
