There was something wrong with my past life

It was late at night and everything was silent.

Ning Ye, who stayed at the Dongfang Family tonight, looked at the moonlight shining through the window and tossed and turned in bed, suffering from rare insomnia.

As a strong man who has reached the Taoist realm, insomnia should not happen at all. The reason for this is for no other reason than Dongfang Qingyue's words, which made him feel confused.

In the end, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind and still unable to calm down, he simply got up with his clothes on and prepared to go out for a walk to enjoy the breeze and calm down his mind.

Anyway, for him now, sleeping is a matter of necessity or non-existence. The reason why he has maintained this habit is partly because he has to rest with his daughter every night, and partly because he wants to try his best to live like a normal person. .

A waxing moon hangs high in the night sky, and the moonlight covers the earth like a silver veil.

Ning Ye got up and left the room, walking aimlessly around the ancestral land of the Eastern family. Unknowingly, she left the majestic buildings and came to a deserted plain.

During this period, they naturally encountered some Dongfang members who were patrolling at night, but they were all hidden by Ning Ye due to the huge gap in cultivation, and no one noticed.

Arriving in the deserted plain, Ning Ye found a flat boulder and used it as a bench to sit down. Then, under the cool evening breeze, he quietly looked at the waxing moon in the sky.

This was also the reason why he, who was in an extremely troubled mood, chose this no-man's land, because he would not be disturbed by the outside world and could quietly think about some unresolved matters.

In the past few months, too many things have happened.

There is an old saying - people are not grass and trees, so who can be ruthless?

However, even though Ning Ye is a fruit, it doesn't mean that he is heartless, at least he still has feelings for now.

For Dongfang Qingyue, it is impossible to say that she does not have any feelings. From the time we met until now, it is not so easy to let go of everything we have experienced together. Otherwise, Ning Ye would not be sitting here now. He calmed down his disturbed state of mind.

But if he was asked to accept this hot and ruthless heart from Dongfang Qingyue, Ning Ye couldn't do it.

Because he owed so much love in this life, it was really impossible for him to start a new relationship like a person with nothing to do, at least not at all now.

Although at the beginning, on the Ferris wheel that was colorfully illuminated by brilliant fireworks at night, the girl whose school sweetheart was named Jiang Jingyi once said that after she left, she must be happy.

However, Ning Ye, who was already sad enough because of her death, later learned that she was the cause of all this tragedy. The debt and guilt in her heart could not be made up for in this life, so how could she find happiness as if nothing had happened.

As for the words she said in front of Long Liuxi, to a large extent, they were also motivated by her desire to make up for her persistent wait for thousands of years, and at the same time, she wanted to give her daughter Xiaolian a complete home. Of course, the final result was a disappointment, as he was told to his face that the toad wanted to eat the swan meat.

In fact, many times, Ning Ye feels that she is quite ridiculous, and life is like a ridiculous joke.

I don’t know how long I sat on the rock and watched the wind blow in the moonlight. Although the answer I was looking for was still not found, my chaotic mood did calm down a little.

Just when Ning Ye saw that it was getting late and stood up from the rock, preparing to leave early, she heard a strange whimpering sound coming from the night wind.

"...save...save me..."

Ning Ye, who was about to leave, was stunned when she heard the faint cry for help.

He looked around with his consciousness, but found nothing strange, and the sound completely disappeared and could not be found.

Is it an illusion?

Just when Ning Ye was puzzled, thinking that he had thought too much tonight and was hallucinating, and was about to leave, the cry for help appeared again.

"...Master...save me...finally...I've waited for you..."

This time, Ning Ye heard it clearly. The cry for help did not come from the night wind, but seemed to have crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and was transmitted directly to her mind through some restrictions.

But what made him feel strange was that the voice called him...Master?

"Who are you? Why are you calling my master?"

Ning Ye conveyed this sentence with her consciousness, wanting to know the answer.

However, there was no response, as if there was no news at all.

It was like the mysterious existence that called him just now. After saying those words, he had exhausted all his power and fell into silence.

At this moment, Ning Ye was caught in a dilemma. She didn't know whether to leave and go back to her room, or go over and take a look.

After struggling for a moment, he finally chose to rely on his senses and walked in the direction of the mysterious existence calling him, preparing to investigate.

Because he had a very mysterious feeling, calling for his existence, and there was a very familiar and friendly feeling. If he ignored it today, he would definitely regret it.

The further he walked, the clearer and stronger the originally weak feeling became.

Finally, Ning Ye came to a place she had never imagined. On the black stone tablet in front of her was the word "forbidden land" carved on it.

That cry for help came from the forbidden area of ​​the Dongfang clan?

Could it be that the Eastern ancestor, who has fallen for many years, is a pervert who abducts ignorant girls from the outside and imprisons them in a forbidden area to ravage her?

Standing in front of the stone tablet in the forbidden area, Ning Ye could clearly feel that the existence that called him before was in the forbidden area.

Regarding the forbidden areas of the Dongfang clan, Ning Ye once heard that Dongfang Qingyue and Nangong Ritian, two direct descendants of the aristocratic families, talked about it. Each of the four super aristocratic families, Dongfang, Nangong, Ximen and Beiming, had a forbidden area. It is the place where the ancestors of the family practice. Family members are not allowed to approach, and those who violate the rules can be killed directly.

Now, the ancestor of the Dongfang family has long since died, and the forbidden area of ​​the Dongfang family has been abandoned. However, no family members are still allowed to enter. If they enter rashly, it will still be regarded as treason.

"Master... come in quickly!"

At this time, the call reappeared, the voice was full of uncontrollable joy, and he was a little choked with excitement.

Having already arrived here, Ning Ye naturally would not turn back just because this was the forbidden land of the Dongfang clan. At such a close distance, the familiar and kind feeling in his heart towards the calls in the forbidden land became more and more obvious, as if he had been away for a long time. Reunion.

However, when he wanted to step into the forbidden area, he encountered a problem.

Outside the forbidden area of ​​​​the Dongfang clan, there is actually a layer of impotent magic circle surrounding it, preventing outsiders from entering. Even with the power of the powerful Taoist Ning Ye, they cannot shake it in the slightest.

Now Ning Ye finally understands why this place is clearly a forbidden area of ​​the Dongfang family, but no one is guarding it. This is because any intruder who has the ability to break this barrier is probably someone like the sword master Long Liuxi. A strong man of this level, no matter how many members are sent to guard him, he will still be cannon fodder.

"Master! Use that sword!"

In the forbidden area, such a reminder came.

That sword?

Ning Ye was startled for a moment. Speaking of swords, he only had one sword, which was the wooden sword that was given by the sword master and was known as the best sword in the world.

With an attitude of trying, he took out his wooden sword and stabbed towards this indestructible barrier.

The barrier that could not be shaken before was cut like tofu under the wooden sword given by the sword master, and became nothing.
