Chapter 29: The Eve of the Lunar Eclipse
"Master, we are back." Su Mu shouted in surprise.
Ling Huayin glanced around. Except that the day had turned into night, the room was still the same as before. There was a lot of noise outside the guest room, which was so different from the deserted room before. Ling Huayin hurriedly ran out of the room. She seemed to be on the same floor.
There were many more people living there, and the lights were brightly lit upstairs and downstairs. Ling Huayin hurriedly ran downstairs to find the innkeeper, but saw a beautiful woman talking to the guests, but the old man was missing.
"Girl, where is the old man who settles accounts here during the day?" Ling Huayin asked.
The woman turned around, looked at Ling Huayin, and was extremely confused, "Old man, what old man? I have been here today. Did the girl remember it wrong?"
Ling Huayin saw that the woman didn't seem to be lying, so she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and asked quickly: "Then, girl, have you ever seen a good-looking young man wearing white clothes?
He may have come down from upstairs today."
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Our place is full today. There are many young men in white. As for whether they are good-looking or not, I think the one upstairs is very good-looking." Then she glanced at the second floor with ambiguous eyes.
One glance.
Ling Huayin turned to look upstairs and saw a young man in white standing upstairs, flirting with the boss. Although his appearance was considered delicate, he was far different from Situ Yan, so he shook his head and asked
: "Have you always had so many people here since daytime?"
"Yes, our inn is the best one here, and the business has always been so good. If the girl wants to stay in the hotel, I'm afraid she will have to go somewhere else, and most of our guests here are monsters. A fairy-like person like the girl can stay here
I’m not used to it.”
"Then there was a girl in yellow and a young man in blue living here before you. The man in blue was wearing similar clothes to me. Well... the girl in yellow was about the same height. They came together." Ling Hua
Yin gestured with her hands to describe the characteristics of Bai Yi and Ji Rumeng in as much detail as possible, but she found that she knew very little about Ji Rumeng.
Fortunately, the innkeeper remembered it immediately and replied: "It seems that there are two of these people, but after they paid the rent, I never saw them again."
"Which room do they live in?"
"Girl, wait a minute, let me take a look." Seeing Ling Huayin's eager face and carrying a long sword, the woman did not dare to neglect. She quickly took out the account book and took a look at it, and then gave out two room numbers.
"The man lives in room 130, and the woman lives in room 140."
"Su Mu, stay here." Ling Huayin warned her and hurriedly ran towards Room 140 upstairs.
When she arrived at the room where Ji Rumeng lived, Ling Huayin pushed the door open regardless of whether there were other guests inside. The sight in front of her shocked her. What came into view was an isolated island illuminated by the red moonlight.
, a full moon hung in the sky, half as red as blood, and the other half as black, making the twilight even more eerie. Ling Huayin looked behind her, and saw that it was still a brightly lit inn, and this room seemed to be leading to
In another time and space tunnel, Ling Huayin didn't know if this was another phantom realm, and Su Mu was still downstairs, so she couldn't just leave him alone. Ling Huayin was a little hesitant, but she saw that the moon was about to be completely black.
The engulfment was obviously a sign of a lunar eclipse, and she couldn't help but worry about Situ Yan's safety.
When he was in a dilemma, Su Mu ran and crawled to catch up, panting and saying: "Master... Master, wait for me."
"Haosheng, follow me." Ling Huayin stepped through the door without saying a word.
Su Mu opened his eyes wide and looked at the place where they were in disbelief. He stuck his head out the door in disbelief. After making sure that it was still the same inn outside, he turned around and asked Ling Huayin: "Master, here is
Could it be your dream again?"
Ling Huayin shook her head and said: "No, this is the Moon-Watching Island in the human world, but I'm not sure whether this is real or fake."
Su Mu looked around, frowned and thought: "The human world? But it seems that only we can see this world. Is there someone in the human world who is supporting you, master?"
Ling Huayin said: "My master is on the Moon Moon Island, and we went to the Sea of No Return with his help. If there is anyone who can help us, it is Master Gao Mang. He is your great master.
When you meet him, don't be rude."
"Disciple understands." Su Mu responded obediently.
Ling Huayin saw Su Mu's face full of excitement and freshness when he arrived on the island for the first time. She suddenly remembered that he had a special constitution and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"My disciple is doing well and is not feeling unwell."
Ling Huayin saw that there was nothing strange about him, so she felt relieved and walked all the way up the mountain. When she reached a broken wall, she suddenly found a white robe in front of her. She was startled and ran over in a hurry.
Situ Yan was leaning against the rock with Qin in one hand. His hair and clothes were a little messy, as if he had just experienced a fierce fight.
Ling Huayin hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, feeling anxious and saying, "Situ Yan, Situ Yan! Wake up, it's me."
Situ Yan opened his eyes, saw Ling Huayin's worried face, smiled and said: "You guys came out too. I wanted to find you just now, but for some reason I couldn't go back after I came in.
Just be fine."
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Ling Huayin asked while checking Situ Yan up and down to see if he was injured.
Seeing her nervous look, Situ Yan couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not injured, you don't have to look. Have you found Bai Yi?" Situ Yan sat up straight, his voice was not as energetic as usual, and his movements were still a little slow.
Ling Huayin nodded, "He's dead. Don't worry about it for now. What's the matter with you? Have you seen Ji Rumeng?"
"Well, she was hurt by my music and escaped while I wasn't paying attention." Situ Yan raised his right hand and opened his palm for Ling Huayin to see. Ling Huayin looked at the palm of his hand and suddenly found that Situ Yan suddenly had many
There was a strange purple mark, shaped like a Bana flower.
She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What is this?"
Situ Yan put his palms together and said, "I just met a woman, and she drew this mark on my hand."
Ling Huayin was full of doubts and asked: "Woman? What kind of woman?"
"There is a woman sitting on the mirror demon. She has a strong demonic energy and the power to stop time. I have never seen this person before, but I feel inexplicably familiar." Situ Yan recalled.
The situation just now is still thrilling.
Ling Huayin was confused for a moment, "Why did she draw this thing on your hand?"
Situ Yan was also confused: "I don't know her intentions either. When I resumed my actions and wanted to catch up and ask, she had already left on the mirror demon."
Ling Huayin frowned and looked at Situ Yan, always feeling that Situ Yan was hiding something from her.
"Can you still leave? Let's go find my master first. Maybe he knows what this mark is?" Ling Huayin helped Situ Yan up.
Before Situ Yan could stand still, his body suddenly leaned towards Ling Huayin. Fortunately, Ling Huayin held his arm to prevent him from falling. He said to Ling Huayin with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry...my
The strength will weaken on the day of the lunar eclipse. This time it comes faster. I can’t exert any strength in my body. I’m afraid I have to let you help me go.”
"It doesn't matter." Ling Huayin said and asked Su Mu to help Situ Yan hold the piano.
After helping Situ Yan to the mountain, the little Taoist named Yun Qing saw them and quickly stepped forward to help move Situ Yan to the guest room. After asking a few words, he went to invite Immortal Gao Mang.
Situ Yan lay on the bed and fell asleep. Ling Huayin stayed by her side until Immortal Gaomang arrived. She immediately pulled Su Mu forward to salute, and did not bother to introduce Su Mu's origins.
I asked Immortal Gao Mang to visit Situ Yan.
As soon as Immortal Gao Mang saw the mark on Situ Yan's hand, his expression immediately became solemn and he asked, "Where does this mark come from?"
Ling Huayin hurriedly told Immortal Gao Mang all what Situ Yan had just said.
Just listen to Immortal Gao Mang solemnly say: "This is the mark of the demon spirit. Hundreds of years ago, Lin Ge, the demon spirit known as the strongest in the demon world, would leave a flower on that person every time he killed an immortal family member."
Mark, after the three great immortal families worked together to seal her in the Great Wilderness Map, no one has ever seen this mark again."
Ling Huayin's expression changed and she exclaimed: "The Great Wilderness Map has been lost and Lin Ge has fled. Could it be that she wants to do something else?"
Immortal Gao Mang said in a deep voice: "Linge did not kill Situ Yan and did not seem to want his life. What exactly she wanted to do can only be asked in detail when Situ Yan wakes up."
Ling Huayin looked at the sleeping Situ Yan, her anxiety palpable, "Master, when will he wake up?"
Immortal Gaomang glanced at Situ Yan and said, "I'm going to cast a spell to expel the demonic energy from his body. You guys should go out first to avoid being accidentally injured by the demonic energy."
"Then I'll bother you, Master." Ling Huayin hurriedly took Su Mu out of the guest room.
Seeing Ling Huayin's frown, Su Mu said: "Master, why don't you go and rest first, and I will call you when Grand Master comes out."
Ling Huayin shook her head, "I'm worried. You've just arrived in the human world and you must be tired. Go and rest first."
"I'm not tired. I'm here to accompany you, Master." After Su Mu said this, he seemed to be thinking about something, and then said: "Master, I seem to have heard my father mention it to others about the Great Desolate Picture that Taishizu just mentioned.
.”
Ling Huayin immediately turned around and asked, "What did your father say?"
Su Mu thought for a moment and said: "When I was sick, I heard my father talking about this picture to someone outside the door, and calling him Lord, but I was still confused at the time and didn't listen carefully."
Ling Huayin's mind moved, and she suddenly remembered that Ji Rumeng had mentioned the Lord, and wondered if they were the same person.
"If you think about it again, what else can you think of?"
"They seem to be making some kind of deal. My dad said that he got the map of the Great Desolation, and that person will fulfill his previous promise. It seems that they mentioned something about blood or beads..."
"Blood Soul Pearl." Ling Huayin blurted out.
Su Mu quickly responded: "Yes, I heard this at that time."
"Who does your father usually have contact with?" Ling Huayin continued to ask.
Su Mu shook his head, "Apart from helping the villagers get rid of demons on a daily basis, my father rarely interacts with others. Plus, we don't live in the same place for a long time, so we don't know anyone. I hear that person's voice too.
This is the first time I heard it, but if I hear it again, I will definitely recognize him."
Ling Huayin asked doubtfully: "Do you move often?"
"Ever since I can remember, my father has moved me around with me. He seemed to be avoiding someone, but whenever I asked him why he wanted to move away, he said he didn't like it there and wouldn't let me ask too many questions.
"
Ling Huayin thought to herself that Su Yan had stolen the Great Wilderness Map of Xianze Palace. Naturally, he was worried that people from Xianze Palace would find him, so it was completely normal to avoid him. This person named Lord may have instigated Su.
Yan was the instigator behind stealing the Great Wilderness Map and letting Lin Ge go. Is he also a demon with Lin Ge? Then what is his relationship with Ji Rumeng, and why did he attack her again? A lot of questions came at once.
Time is coming.
Seeing Ling Hua Yin's face full of sorrow and immersed in her own thoughts, Su Mu couldn't help but wonder: "Master, I have told you everything I can think of. I really don't know the rest."
