Shouts resounded through the sky.

Zhu Xun stood where he was, his mood fluctuated violently.At this moment, all the unfamiliar faces have corresponding names in their minds.He looked at the leading ghost and shouted, "Uncle Lin."

The ghost known as 'Uncle Lin' heard this, lowered his arms, and stepped forward.

A stiff but genuine smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Young master, you've come." After finishing speaking, he turned his attention to the two people beside Zhu Xun.

Uncle Lin was stunned, and it took him a long time to say hello, "Young Master Ning? And the young master..."

Before he finished speaking, a few more ghosts came up from the crowd behind him, gathered around Zhu Xun's side, and asked questions in a hurry.

"Young master, what anecdote did you hear when you came back from your study tour this time? Tell me quickly!"

"Young master, did you bring me the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cake at the foot of the mountain?"

"Eldest young master, the sect master and his wife have long been looking forward to your return! The young master was sent out by the sect master two days ago..."

……

Zhu Xun's heart shuddered when he heard these questions that were completely out of time.Soon, he heard Ning Yuezhi's secret message—these ghosts have wandered around the world for so many years, and they may be confused and have lost their memory of time.

Zhu Xun responded with his mind—well, I understand.

"Master, why don't you speak?"

Zhu Xun tried his best to hide the bitterness, and smiled a little, "Okay, why do you have so many questions? I just came back, so I have to take a breath before answering."

He paused the topic, thinking of his family very much from the bottom of his heart.If these ghosts are still there, does it mean that father and mother are also staying in a corner!

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Xun immediately asked the ghost beside him, "By the way, where are my parents?"

"Master and madam?" The ghosts muttered unconsciously, looking at each other with confused eyes.Zhu Xun sensed that something was wrong, and asked Uncle Lin again, "Uncle Lin, do you know?"

Uncle Lin opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.Suddenly, he looked at the pitch-black foot of the mountain, his expression changed drastically, "It's bad! They're attacking!"

All the ghosts changed their faces, and the solemn atmosphere spread instantly, and some ghosts even fled in all directions in a panic.

Zhu Xun just wanted to step forward, but Ning Yue grabbed his arm, "Wait!"

"Ning Yuezhi?"

Ning Yuezhi held him tightly and did not back down.In his light eyes, there was a complexity that others could not understand, and he said deeply, "This scene should have happened that year."

"What do you mean?"

"Back when we completed our mission and returned to Zhu's family, we saw many residents of the ancient town fleeing before we reached the foot of the mountain." Ning Yuezhi briefly stated the past.

The two of them sensed that something was wrong, and immediately stopped a resident for questioning.The person who was stopped for questioning recognized Zhu Xun's identity, and said nervously—"I don't know where a large number of people came from, each armed with weapons, and blocked all the downhill roads of Xiling Mountain! And they They even set up formations and are already attacking the mountain!"

"Sect Leader, hurry up and run for your life!"

Before Zhu Xun finished listening to these words, he galloped towards Xiling Mountain in an instant.

……

"We avoided the eyeliner and ambush of those people, and saw the situation in front of us as soon as we entered the gate of Zhu's mansion." Ning Yuezhi saw the expressions of these ghosts and spoke truthfully.

Suddenly, two ghosts jumped on Zhu Xun's body and said the same words as in the nightmare——

"Young master! Save us!"

"Master! Don't leave us behind..."

After the words fell, everything around turned into golden red, like a flame.The scorching heat gradually spread, and it was almost impossible to breathe.Many faint ghosts were evaporated and dissipated on the spot.

"Could it be that this happens every time ghosts gather?" Yu Yan guessed, "Time after time, all the ghosts will disappear completely one day."

Zhu Xun was overwhelmed by great grief, and his headache was even worse.Enduring the severe pain, he exerted the spiritual power in his body, trying to build a safe barrier for these fleeing ghosts.Seeing his actions, Ning Yuezhi instantly frowned and cast a spell to dissipate them, "It's useless, you can't save them."

These people died in the fire, died in the killing.They felt innocent and died tragically, and the resentment gathered after death automatically formed the current enchantment, which was their subconscious choice of self-destruction.

"Unless you kill them all, this tricky enchantment will continue to reincarnate until the last ghost dies."

"I know." Zhu Xun looked at the confused fire phantom in the enchantment in front of him, his eyes were dyed red, his hands were clenched into fists, and he asked in a low voice, "Where are Father and Mother? Where are they? I..."

Zhu Xun closed his eyes, unwilling to let others see his weakness easily, "I really want to see them again."

After the words fell, his arm was held again, and the tightness made Zhu Xun return to a clear reality.He looked at Ning Yuezhi, only to feel that the emotion in his eyes was abnormal.Before he could think about it, he heard that the other party must have spoken.

"There is a place, I will take you there."

"where?"

Ning Yuezhi didn't say much, he grabbed Zhu Xun tightly, and disappeared in a flash.Seeing this scene, Yu Yan, who was left behind suddenly, was stunned for a long time before following the traces of the two of them.

……

The two stopped by a well, and the fire did not reach here for the time being.

Zhu Xun looked down at the bottom of the well, and it was different from what he saw during the day—the well was full of clear water at the moment, and the water surface slightly reflected light.

"Jump down." Ning Yuezhi let go of his hand, and said in a tight voice, "Everything now is a derived illusion, don't be afraid."

"what?"

"It was you who told me back then that there is a secret passage hidden at the bottom of this well, which can lead to the foot of the mountain. The last time we saw Master Zhu and his wife, it was also at the bottom of this well..."

If the ghosts of the husband and wife still exist in the world, then they must be seen in the illusion at the bottom of the well!

Zhu Xun understood what he meant and jumped into the well.Seeing this, Ning Yuezhi followed closely.The clear water in the well was produced by an illusion, and the two fell into the bottom of the well without getting wet at all.

Ning Yuezhi took out a modern flashlight from the Naling bag and turned it on to illuminate the surroundings.Zhu Xun saw the secret passage on the right, entered quickly, and did not forget to greet, "Go this way."

The two bent their bodies and walked a few steps, and the site became open, and it was a temporary underground place.It's a pity that the surroundings are empty, there is no illusion of imagination, and there are no ghosts of the Zhu couple.

Zhu Xun's eyes showed disappointment, and he pursed his lips in silence.He stood there, silent for a while, and then pretended to be indifferent, "Forget it, let's go back, Yu Yan is still waiting for us."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the voice fell to the ground, the surrounding earth walls instantly became mottled.In the blink of an eye, the venue changed its appearance, and several figures gradually appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhu Xun's eyes froze, he stared at the figure in the illusion, and shouted tremblingly, "Aniang."

Mrs. Zhu stepped forward, her gentle expression turned into nervousness, and she shouted, "Xiao Xun! Why are you back at this time? Go away! This is not where you should be staying!"

"Mother, I..." Zhu Xun stepped forward subconsciously.But the other party seemed to have not heard it at all, and went straight through his body.An all-too-familiar voice sounded from behind, "Aniang, I just want to wish my family, where can I go!"

Zhu Xun turned around in surprise, only to find another self appeared in the illusion!Even, another Ning Yuezhi appeared!

——Zhu Xun, these are illusions that you cannot participate in.

Ning Yuezhi spoke again.

--I see.

Zhu Xun took a few steps back silently, shrinking himself into the shadow of the corner.

The illusion is still going on, and the young Zhu Xun grabbed Mrs. Zhu's arm, refusing to leave, "Mother, don't drive me away! I'll be with you!"

"Xiao Xun, this group of people has been planning for a long time, and they are coming fiercely. You listen to what Auntie said, and take Yuezhi away from the secret passage." Mrs. Zhu shed tears when she heard the sound of fighting and screams outside, "Xiao Xun , Listen to A Niang! Your father and the other two sect leaders have found out that before the trial meeting, someone set up an extremely sinister formation."

"So many people died in the shipwreck caused by it, and all the major families fell into anger. We Zhujia cannot escape this responsibility, and someone must stand up and take it. But this person can't be you, do you understand?"

These days, the husband and wife dismissed their disciples.But at the critical juncture, there were still so many disciples who came forward spontaneously.

"Aniang, since someone with a heart is instigating it, how can those people outside listen to your explanation!" The young Zhu Xun had already expected the end, his eyes were slightly red, "They just want our Zhu clan to pay their lives!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Heling walked in with scars all over her body.Looking at his wife and son who were still arguing, he frowned and stepped forward, "I can't stand it anymore outside! Ah Xun! Why haven't you left yet!"

"I won't go." The young Zhu Xun stubbornly said, he looked at the silent young Ning Yuezhi on the other side, and said, "Ning Yuezhi, you can leave by yourself along the secret path, I..."

"Nonsense!" Zhu Heling said in a deep voice, interrupting him.He sighed softly, approached his son, his eyes were full of deep love, "Zhu Xun, you are no longer a child! You must go on your own way in the future!"

"Also, if you want to find Xiao Che, as an elder brother, you have to protect him, understand?"

The young Zhu Xun heard the deep meaning in the words, and his throat choked.Before he could speak, Zhu Heling knocked him unconscious with a wave of his palm.The latter held the child in his arms, looked at Ning Yuezhi solemnly, and shouted.

"Go beyond."

"I wish the master." Ning Yuezhi stepped forward, his face more tense than ever.

Zhu Heling carefully put the fainted Zhu Xun into his arms, and said in a muffled voice, "Call me Uncle Zhu. You have always seen more thoroughly than Ah Xun and the others, and you must have guessed what happened to Zhu Shi today."

The young Ning Yuezhi nodded, but changed his words, "Uncle Zhu, I will take you to Zongshan. Ah Xun him..."

"The head of the Zhu clan will never leave his disciples behind. They are willing to fight to the death for the Zhu clan, so how can I abandon them?" Zhu Heling said firmly.

Madam Zhu touched Zhu Xun's hair and said sadly, "Our only selfish thought is for our two sons. What's more, I beg you to take him away safely!"

"I know."

The sound of fighting outside got closer, and Zhu's last line of defense had been breached.Zhu Heling clenched the long sword in her hand, and said hard-heartedly, "Let's go!"

The young Ning Yuezhi bowed solemnly to the two, and quickly left with Zhu Xun who was fainting in his arms.

……

Mrs. Zhu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, held her husband's hand, and smiled faintly.Zhu Heling dropped the long sword in his hand, embraced her in his arms, and said bitterly, "Madam, I made you suffer with me."

"Since I married you, how can this life be considered suffering?" Mrs. Zhu closed her eyes and retorted softly, "The only regret is that I didn't see my two children get married."

There was a sound from the mouth of the well above, and someone was about to come down.

Zhu Heling paused, and said in relief, "There are really only two of us left in the Zhu family now. Ma'am, are you ready?" Madam Zhu didn't answer, but nodded in her husband's arms.

Live differently, but die together.

This is the ending that the husband and wife have already discussed.

Suddenly, Zhu Heling's body glowed with an extremely strong white light, as if he had exhausted his whole life's cultivation.White light washed away in an instant, sweeping all corners.

With red eyes, Zhu Xun suddenly broke out, "Father! Aunt!"

Mrs. Zhu opened her eyes and smiled slightly towards the corner where Zhu Xun was waiting.In an instant, he and her husband disappeared together.

……

Zhu Xun fell to his knees on the ground, his hands stuck in the mud.He suppressed his pain, his whole body trembling.A strong heartache flashed across Ning Yuezhi's eyes, and he stepped forward and shouted, "Zhu Xun."

He never imagined that after they left, Head Zhu and Mrs. Zhu would choose to cause their spirits to explode!As a bystander, I was already moved.Zhu Xun, as a son of man, how heartbroken should it be?

Zhu Xun knelt on the ground and never looked up.

Ning Yuezhi hesitated to speak, and knelt down in front of him without a moment's hesitation.He stretched out his hand to touch the other party, and his tone was soft and comforting never before, "Cry if you want to cry."

The grief after learning the truth aggravated his already painful brain.Zhu Xun was so overwhelmed by everything, he felt the warmth of the people around him, and couldn't help thinking, so he leaned over and leaned against the other person's shoulder.

Zhu Xun closed his eyes and said in a daze, "Ning Yuezhi, I'm in so much pain."

Ning Yuezhi turned his face sideways, and the corners of his lips touched the other side's hair as if nothing, "Where does it hurt? I'll stop it for you."

"...it hurts everywhere." After the dusty past of thousands of years is completely torn off, the pain and sorrow will only intensify.Ning Yuezhi felt the warmth on his shoulders, and heard another sentence, "I don't have a home anymore."

"You have a family." Ning Yuezhi didn't care whether Zhu Xun could listen to him at the moment, and solemnly said the words hidden in his heart, "I'm with you."

Zhu Xun had already closed his eyes, and the severe pain stripped him of his thoughts.Suddenly, he seemed to be thinking about something again, and murmured in a crying voice, "You didn't."

Ning Yuezhi's actions to comfort him stopped suddenly.

There was no accusation, let alone complaint, in the murmur of the person in his arms.The words that sounded neither sad nor happy, but hit the most painful place in his heart heavily.

"I remember..."

"In the end, you left too."
