Chapter 226 As long as you don't care, it's fine.
At the boundary between Yin and Yang, in the town under Si Wuxie's jurisdiction, and in the border market, in the mural space created by Si Wuxie, Mei Shiyu had seen a group of "ghost hands" that liked to extend from the ground to tease passersby, and sometimes even flirt with cats and dogs, seemingly without much danger.
Until the Gates of Hell were closed, and people could no longer enter or leave at will, all the spirits in the market disappeared, Si Wuxie's murals were destroyed, and the group of ghost hands, left unrestrained, revealed their true nature. They dragged a lone disciple of the Yunlan Sect to the ground and disappeared without a trace.
Mei Shiyu witnessed this scene and missed the chance to save the person. In a fit of anger, he split the ground and struggled to pull it out and lock it in with an array... This evil spirit must be related to Si Wuxie, but what exactly is it?
"Perhaps this is the 'Tai Sui' (a type of rare fungus). I heard it was caused by the Ghost King's cultivation mistake?"
Li Tingyun heard this from Wangcai.
"Ghost King..." Mei Shiyu said, "You seem to have a good relationship with the Ten Kings of Reincarnation? You can ask him for clarification."
Li Tingyun raised an eyebrow: "Really? How come I didn't know that? You seem to know me quite well?"
Mei Shiyu saw his smug little expression and realized she was too close to him. She quickly pushed him away and said coldly, "I've never understood you."
Li Tingyun said, "It's not too late for us to get to know each other starting now."
It's too late! It's far too late! Mei Shiyu felt a strong resistance in her heart, but she didn't say anything and silently kept her distance from him.
She thought to herself, "I was reborn, and so was Yuan Che, but Li Tingyun is still the same person I always was..."
"Do you remember that ghost tide?" Mei Shiyu asked.
Li Tingyun smiled and said, "I remember. Five hundred years ago, your master quelled the ghost tide, pierced through hell, and dropped the Dividing Scene Sword into the Demon Abyss."
Without thinking.
There are pitfalls in the plum rain season.
The term "ghost tide" appears twice in Wang Laoliu's book.
The first time was, in other people's words, in legends, and in history, the highlight of Ren Pingsheng's life.
The second time, of course, is the highlight of the protagonist Yuan Che's life, when he returned to the source of ten thousand swords and was the center of attention, but it was all for naught.
In the original text, shortly after that, Li Tingyun went on a killing spree, and Wang Laoliu stopped updating his work; the specific reason is unknown.
From the reader's perspective, the general outline is as follows:
Suddenly one day, a corner of the Gate of Hell collapsed, and the hopes of the entire cultivation world were pinned on Yuan Che. He activated the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin, but everyone knew that his cultivation level was not high enough, so it was a bit far-fetched to put on this show. Therefore, Mei Shiyu, the tool, appeared and poured a large amount of spiritual power into him, which was barely enough.
He was just a tool, meant to be used and discarded. He couldn't let him linger and steal the spotlight from the main character. So Wang Laoliu made up another excuse, saying that the Yin-Yang Curse had relapsed, and sent Mei Shiyu away.
Then, the spotlight returned to Yuan Che.
The topic of Mei Shiyu was not mentioned again.
Wang Laoliu focuses on describing how successful the protagonist's "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" was, how much praise he received, and how his fame spread far and wide... This is written too exaggeratedly and is not credible.
Attentive readers have noticed that the plot of "The First Sword of Immortal Cultivation" starts to fall apart from here. Although the beginning was also terrible, it at least had some logic and the exciting moments were relatively solid. But after this point, it became completely unreadable.
What's in front of the camera is a false revelry of the righteous path.
Behind the scenes, Li Tingyun slaughtered his way through the lower realm.
The plot feels very disjointed.
Wang Laoliu was writing nonsense as if he were mentally deranged.
Until he wrote that "three people together" passage that made people want to gouge their eyes out.
He then announced a permanent hiatus from updating the series.
Many readers have expressed that all the characters went out of control as early as when the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin" event was launched, and none of them were normal. They felt that the world in the book should not be going this way, and the life and death of the characters in the book should not be so hasty.
Father, like son.
It's obvious to everyone that Wang Laoliu's writing is getting more and more absurd.
But he had become so engrossed in his art that he lost all sense of the world around him, and eventually, his inspiration dried up, and he castrated himself.
Li Tingyun didn't want Mei Shiyu to know that he was actually undergoing a kind of "rebirth," because from his perspective, he had never done anything human from beginning to end. All he did was kill, kill, kill, and go crazy. He was especially ruthless towards Mei Shiyu...
He didn't even dare to recall how Wang Laoliu originally described how he tormented Mei Shiyu over and over again. Just thinking about it made him feel like the sky was falling. If Mei Shiyu had even the slightest feeling for him, it would be Stockholm Syndrome!
Li Tingyun really didn't want to admit that he himself was the villain in the original story.
He would rather pretend to be confused and start over in this life, perhaps there's still a chance with Mei Shiyu... no, there definitely is.
Even if there is a 99.99% uncertainty between them, he will try his best to make them 200% absolutely capable!
Mei Shiyu tried to probe, but didn't find anything. Li Tingyun was quite good at pretending, deliberately changing the subject and pointing to her cheekbone area, asking him, "How did you get injured here on your face?"
Mei Shiyu touched it with her finger, and said with a helpless yet amused expression, "It's just a scratch. You didn't say it was almost healed."
Li Tingyun also laughed, or rather, his laughter never stopped. Mei Shiyu emphasized again: "I told you before, don't keep staring at me, and don't keep laughing at me!"
Li Tingyun spoke her mind: "I can't help but want to see you. As soon as I see you, I want to laugh. I can't even control myself, so how can you control me?"
Mei Shiyu frowned and said, "What do you mean? Am I that funny?"
Li Tingyun said, "No, I mean, you are very beautiful!"
Mei Shiyu hardened his fist.
That scoundrel... he hasn't changed at all.
In her past life, she met him a hundred years later.
In this lifetime, I actually met him a hundred years earlier than expected.
If I don't cut ties with him sooner, am I going to suffer for another hundred years?!
Then I thought: But maybe, knowing him so many years earlier means he might change for the better?
Then I thought again: What's there to change? With his personality, he doesn't seem like the type to make even the slightest concession.
Then I thought again: ...
Ugh, stop thinking about it! That bastard Li Tingyun, the further away the better, why think so much?!
Mei Shiyu sighed softly, rubbing her forehead, wondering why she was overthinking things. A fierce internal struggle was raging in her mind.
Li Tingyun said softly, "If you don't like those kinds of words, I won't say them again. Don't be angry."
Mei Shiyu suddenly realized that she really had a bad temper in front of Li Tingyun.
How come a few words or a casual little gesture can trigger his reaction? Does he care that much?
If he didn't care about this person at all, he wouldn't even bother to lift his eyelids, let alone get angry with him all the time.
Yes, as long as you don't care, it's fine.
Mei Shiyu made up her mind to never pay any more attention to him. He was a shameless man with a childish streak; he would take advantage of any kindness shown to him and become more and more enthusiastic the more she paid attention to him.
Seeing that he turned to leave without saying a word, Li Tingyun immediately reached out to stop him. Of course, she didn't dare to touch him, but instead flashed in front of him, blocking his way with her arm, and added her own dramatic touch: "I have something else I want to say to you, just one sentence, will you listen?"
Mei Shiyu said briefly, "Go ahead."
"Are you going to listen to those two sentences or not?"
As expected, Li Tingyun went further.
Give them a pole and they'll climb it.
Mei Shiyu laughed. From now on, he didn't want to hear a single word from him again!
Li Tingyun knew she had really angered him, so she awkwardly withdrew the arm that had been blocking him.
Unexpectedly, Mei Shiyu grabbed his wrist, her expression changing drastically: "What is this?!"
Oh wow.
Li Tingyun sensed something was wrong.
