Chapter 23: The original owner's memories reappear; is his disguise about to be exposed?!
Li Tingyun turned around and saw several children playing in the mud at the entrance of a village.
They were all like naughty children, gathering together to pee and make mud, rolling it into mud balls and throwing them at him.
Damn, someone actually threw mud at him!
"Smash him to death! He's a monster! It's not enough that he brought death to his parents, he just keeps causing trouble for the people in our village!"
"Look at you, all ragged and shabby, you don't even have parents, and you still want to curry favor with the immortal master who came to the village to take you to the immortal realm? Bah! No way, I've blocked all the windows for you!"
"Exactly! With his weird appearance, he wants to learn cultivation? Who knows what kind of demon or monster he'll turn into! If you ask me, Big Yellow from the village gate has more potential to become a spirit beast than you!"
"Go to hell! You're not welcome in Lingxi Village! You ugly monster!"
"..."
"You! You..."
Li Tingyun was panting heavily, feeling unbearably tight in his chest, and was so angry that he could barely speak.
You can only squeeze out one word at a time:
"It was your parents who killed my father and mother. It was you beasts who stole my spiritual root... It's all your fault!"
"You bunch of people deserve to die! You deserve to die! Aaaaah!"
"One day, I will kill you all! Kill you all!"
Li Tingyun was furious, and a series of incoherent words came out of his throat, but after a moment, he was startled awake.
This...what's going on?
Could these be the original owner's memories? Is this the real reason he massacred Lingxi Village?!
Li Tingyun's emotions were like a boulder rolling down a mountain, rising and falling wildly. She could only take deep breaths repeatedly to calm herself down.
But then he heard a "thud" and a long sword pierced through his chest. His heart felt empty, and although he couldn't feel the pain, he knew he was about to die.
He turned around with all his might to see who the murderer was, but he couldn't see clearly at all.
He is going to die.
Before he died, he smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
"Gold ingot! Gold ingot... Gold ingot?!"
His master was calling him.
Li Tingyun opened his sleepy eyes, and a familiar voice called out in his mind.
"Mei Shiyu...you killed me."
"What did you say?"
"What did I say?"
Li Tingyun shuddered, then scrambled to his feet, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "What nonsense am I talking about?"
Mei Shiyu was truly standing in front of him at that moment.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a heavy weight in his left hand, as if he were carrying something.
Looking down, I saw a little girl in red.
Li Tingyun jumped three feet high, almost kicking her out like a ball.
Seeing his contorted face, the little girl clutched Mei Shiyu's clothes tightly and called out timidly, "Big brother, big brother, I'm scared..."
The child is afraid.
Li Tingyun nearly choked on his own saliva.
He turned and bumped into Mei Shiyu's arms, shouting, "Master, I'm scared too!"
little girl:"……"
Your strong voice sounds completely unrelated to the word "fear"!
Mei Shiyu raised her hand and pinched the back of his neck, looking quite helpless.
But what can he do?
Pamper me.
So he let Li Tingyun hold his waist tightly for a while before letting go.
"Yuanbao, stand behind me."
He raised his gaze to the dark, ghostly array opposite him.
And two figures, one in black and one in white, stood in front of the formation.
Li Tingyun tore the cloth off Mei Shiyu, stood still obediently, turned around, and saw the Black and White Impermanence.
“Xie Bi’an,” Mei Shiyu suddenly said, “you are a master of illusion. This move really caught people off guard.”
"To receive a word of praise from Master Mei is truly an honor for me."
Bai Wuchang shifted his gaze from Mei Shiyu to Li Tingyun, revealing a cryptic smile.
"I would also like to ask Master Mei's young friend, was the illusion just now satisfactory to you? Did it remind you of some long-forgotten memories that should have been buried deep in your heart and never been dug up by anyone?"
Li Tingyun knew that he meant that he had seen his own identity through the images in the illusion.
"Thank you for reminding me, but aren't you talking a bit too much?"
All I could do was warn him that he'd better not say anything more.
"Whether you talk a lot or a little, it doesn't matter, does it?"
The White Impermanence understood immediately.
"I'm a slow learner; I can talk a lot, but I often miss the point..."
Although he didn't know why the Taiji Palace Master would get together with the Dao Xuan Sect, the relationship between the two of them was truly fascinating.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. I know nothing and what could I possibly say?"
He won't ruin the show so quickly and spoil the mood.
He was even more afraid that before he could even open his mouth to reveal the secret, Li Tingyun would crush him in one move.
The wise thing to do is to see through something but not say it.
Mei Shiyu didn't detect anything unusual in their exchange and simply asked to leave, but was stopped by both Black and White Impermanence.
Black Impermanence said coldly, "Mei Shiyu, let me tell you! No one can leave this place until we capture the undead and the barrier of Eternal Calamity Town is broken. You'd better hand over that girl obediently and confess your purpose for coming here before we can let you leave! Otherwise, you will die a horrible death!"
"Don't say you're not qualified to say such things to me. Even the Eternal Gatekeeper or the Ten Kings of Hell would need to consider their own weight."
Mei Shiyu's body was filled with spiritual energy. "I am not very talented and my cultivation is shallow, but if I want to leave, none of you can stop me."
Before summoning the Azure Frost Sword, he gave his opponent time to consider.
Black Impermanence sneered and was about to make a move when White Impermanence stopped him.
"You can't beat them."
What a joke! Anyone who believes Mei Shiyu's claim of "shallow cultivation" is a complete fool!
But he wasn't one to go to extremes, so that's understandable.
Xie Bi'an stared at Li Tingyun warily.
The real fear is that this Buddha is capricious by nature and might lose his temper and take action, eliminating them all in one move.
The kind that leaves not even a trace.
They truly "died without a burial place."
Who dares to bet on whether he's in a good mood or a bad mood right now?
I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it at all.
However, seeing that he still has the leisure to play spy games with the righteous masters, he must be in a very good mood.
But we must not let our guard down!
Fan Wujiu said unhappily, "Old Xie, I think you're being too cautious! Why waste words with them? Just go up and beat them up, and that will settle the score."
Xie Bi'an scolded in a low voice: "Idiot! When you fight those two, is it just a matter of winning or losing? That's a life-or-death battle! Have you gone crazy from being in seclusion for so long?"
Fan Wujiu was taken aback. Indeed, since the great war between immortals and demons hundreds of years ago, when he took a heavy blow from Ren Pingsheng for Xie Bi'an, he was seriously injured and often went into seclusion to heal and cultivate day and night. During this time, he missed many major events that happened in the Three Realms, and his information was somewhat out of reach.
After he left the pass, he clung to the White Impermanence's side, doing whatever he was told.
"Okay, you say we can't beat them, then we definitely can't... So what should we do now?"
"We can't just retreat like this. If the boss finds out, he'll kill us."
Black Impermanence nodded in complete agreement and came up with a brilliant idea: "How about this, I'll hold them off while you take the opportunity to snatch the little girl. Black and white working together makes the job easier!"
Bai Wuchang gave him a sharp rap on the head. "If you want to go and die, just say so! Stop thinking about fighting all the time and use your brain more, okay?"
Black Impermanence rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, but he still reluctantly agreed, "Fine, you decide."
Across from him, Li Tingyun saw two people, one in black and one in white, standing motionless. One had a cold expression on his face, while the other smiled maliciously. They remained standing motionless in the wind, which was extremely eerie.
A voice transmitted through his mind asked, "Master, what are they doing?"
Mei Shiyu pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard that the Black and White Impermanence of the underworld are two sides of the same coin. They have their own unique way of communicating and sensing each other, which is called 'spiritual communication.' To outsiders, they may appear motionless, but they may have been secretly talking for a long time."
"Just like us?"
"Not really."
"How to say?"
"Perhaps they are playing Pai Gow right now, or enjoying tea and playing chess."
Mei Shiyu smiled calmly, "We can't tell anything from their conversations or interactions."
"That's really interesting. If they secretly kiss, no one on the street will even know?"
"This, this, uh... ah?"
This question not only touched on Mei Shiyu's blind spot in knowledge, but also surprised him greatly.
So surprised she almost stammered, "Why would they secretly...kiss...on their lips???"
Li Tingyun chuckled and said, "I was just talking nonsense, Master, why are you blushing?"
"I...I...I'm not blushing, am I..."
"It wasn't there before, but it is now."
"Do not look at what is improper, do not speak what is improper. Oh, you really are... disrespectful."
"Oh, I know I was wrong, that's good enough. I won't talk nonsense again."
“Yuanbao, from now on you must learn to be careful with your words and actions.”
"Where did I go wrong? Master, please tell me in detail, and I will definitely correct myself accordingly!"
Mei Shiyu calmly said, "Shut up."
Li Tingyun smiled and said, "Okay."
