Chapter 147

Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru were girls after all. Hearing the topic of love, their thoughts were quickly taken away by Aunt Ma.

Not long after, the two listened with red eyes, wiping the corners of their eyes constantly.

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes speechlessly: "It's not you who are suffering, why are you crying?"

The two turned their heads together and glared at him fiercely.

Li Xiaoyao wanted to say more, but was pulled aside by Jingtian, who persuaded him to shut up.

Chu Yang cupped his hands to interrupt Aunt Ma's words and asked: "May I ask the innkeeper, did a girl in purple come here yesterday?"

Aunt Ma, who was smiling just now, sank her face, glanced at Chu Yang with indifferent eyes, and shook her head: "There is no girl in purple here!"

"My inn doesn't have guests all year round, let alone girls, even ghosts can't be seen. If you don't stay, please forgive me for not accompanying you."

Chu Yang said loudly: "Mount Shu disciple Chu Yang, please ask the Nv Wa descendant to come out and see me. It concerns the life of my senior brother. I hope the girl will forgive me for being abrupt."

Aunt Ma was anxious and scolded: "You junior are so ignorant! I said there is no..."

Before she finished speaking, an ethereal voice came from the innermost room on the second floor of the inn, making everyone's spirit shake.

"Aunt Ma, it's okay, they are our own people."

The door opened, and a fragrant wind blew. The unique fragrance attracted everyone's attention.

The fragrance contained the scent of many flowers, such as lavender, lily, jasmine, etc. The fragrance was mixed, but unusually harmonious.

Even Chu Yang couldn't help but be distracted when he smelled this scent.

While a group of people were lost, a woman in purple gauze walked out of the room. The moment Li Xiaoyao saw the other party, his pupils shrank violently.

The woman in front of him looked seven or eight points similar to Zhao Ling Er. If they said there was no relationship, even ghosts wouldn't believe it! "Li, this woman looks too much like Ling Er! Could it be her long-lost sister?"

"No, she has white hair on her temples, should be an aunt or something, right?"

Lin Yueru whispered in Li Xiaoyao's ear.

Li Xiaoyao suddenly looked at Chu Yang. He just heard Chu Yang say "Nv Wa descendant," proving that the woman in front of him was indeed Zhao Ling Er's relative.

"I'll explain the ins and outs to you later. It's important to confirm Senior Brother's situation now."

Chu Yang walked toward the second floor of the inn, while Zi Xuan was looking at Li Xiaoyao with a complex expression.

"Senior Zi Xuan, how is my senior brother?"

"Follow me in, you'll know at a glance."

Zi Xuan took Chu Yang and the others into the room. Following her guidance, Chu Yang saw Xu Changqing on the bed.

Xu Changqing was in a coma, emitting peaceful golden light, but a group of black energy was entrenched on his face. Right and evil were constantly fighting in his body.

The black energy was transformed by evil thoughts. Thinking without thinking, he knew it was the Evil Sword Immortal's handiwork.

Just don't know what the golden light on Xu Changqing is? Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and wanted to touch Xu Changqing's body, but was stopped by Zi Xuan, who shook her head: "His situation is not good now, better not touch him."

Li Xiaoyao asked anxiously: "What exactly happened to Brother Xu?"

Hearing Li Xiaoyao call Xu Changqing brother, Zi Xuan's brow frowned subconsciously, and she returned to normal after a few breaths.

She didn't answer Li Xiaoyao's question immediately, but turned to look at Chu Yang and said: "How did you know Xu Changqing was here? And how did you know my identity?"

Chu Yang replied: "Senior Brother and I went down the mountain together to practice in the world. Before leaving, the sect leader reminded me that he might encounter a love barrier that is difficult to break, so he told me about Senior Brother's three-life love."

Zi Xuan was silent for a long time and sighed: "I didn't expect Daoist Qing Wei to trust you so much."

Chu Yang looked at the unconscious Xu Changqing and couldn't help shaking his head: "Senior settled in Fengdu to find Senior Brother's reincarnation through the Ghost Realm. Such persistence is admirable, but also makes people feel pitiful. You have given up too many things for this."

"Pitiful..." Zi Xuan was a bit lost, a bitterness flashing in the bottom of her eyes.

Tang Xuejian was confused by the conversation between the two and jumped out and shouted anxiously: "Can you say something understandable? What exactly happened to Daoist Xu?"

Zi Xuan was interrupted by her, her expression returned to normal, and she calmed down to explain: "I met Xu Changqing near Leizhou. He was fighting with an evil thought calling himself the Evil Sword Immortal."

"The Evil Sword Immortal is very powerful, only one step away from becoming an Outer Evil Tribe Heavenly Demon, transcending the six realms. Xu Changqing is no match, and I cannot rival him either. I can only use the Holy Spirit Bead to temporarily force back that evil thought."

"I took advantage of the Evil Sword Immortal's inattention, took Xu Changqing and fled, hiding all the way here. After settling down, I discovered that his body was parasitized by part of the evil thoughts, almost falling into the demonic path."

"Those evil thoughts are very special, and conventional exorcism spells don't work at all. Even if you cast any Mount Shu secret methods, it's the same. Those evil thoughts originated from Daoist Qing Wei and the others, so using Mount Shu's spells is useless."

Zi Xuan's statement was similar to Chu Yang's previous guess. It was indeed the Evil Sword Immortal's move that made things like this.

Chu Yang smiled: "Senior Zi Xuan, you can take back the Holy Spirit Bead. Leave the rest to me."

Zi Xuan didn't do it immediately, but emphasized solemnly: "I just said that general exorcism spells don't work. Even if you cast any Mount Shu secret methods, it's the same. Those evil thoughts originated from Daoist Qing Wei and the others, so using Mount Shu's spells is useless."

Chu Yang replied indifferently: "I have my own measure, please do as I say, Senior."

Zi Xuan looked at Chu Yang deeply and silently took back the Holy Spirit Bead in Xu Changqing's body.

The black energy on Xu Changqing's face began to spread rapidly throughout his body, and the whole person was filled with unspeakable malice. Just standing in the same room made people feel uncomfortable.

Zi Xuan said anxiously: "Use whatever method you have quickly. If it's a little later, even my Holy Spirit Bead won't be able to suppress the evil thoughts in Xu Changqing's body, and he will fall into the demonic path!"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Changqing jumped up suddenly, his hair bun scattered, like a ferocious evil ghost. He scanned everyone in the room with blood-red eyes, and the cold killing intent in his eyes was chilling.

"The style is quite cool, but it's a pity it's not the type Senior Brother likes. If it were me, it would be about the same."

Chu Yang joked with a smile, and Xu Changqing, who was about to fall into the demonic path, pounced on him, his pupils blooming with bloodthirsty light.

Amidst the screams of others, 【Fengdu】 suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yang, and Yellow Spring water surged out, forming a cage to trap Xu Changqing, letting the other let out a miserable roar.

The source of evil thoughts and curses is very close in concept. Yellow Spring water can eliminate curses, so it can also be effective against evil thoughts.

With the encirclement of Yellow Spring water, Xu Changqing screamed more and more miserably. To be precise, the black energy in his body was screaming, as if it had life.

Sss~ sss~ sss~ just like putting a red-hot soldering iron into snow, the evil thoughts also melted away under the wrapping of Yellow Spring water.

Xu Changqing returned to normal, but the power of the Holy Spirit Bead was also consumed by more than half. When it returned to Zi Xuan's hand, the light was dim, as if it would go out at any time.

However, seeing Xu Changqing's condition improve, Zi Xuan had no other emotions besides happiness. In her eyes, the so-called Holy Spirit Bead could not compare to Xu Changqing's life.

"Brother Chu's sword seems to be very restraining to that dirty thing. We must eliminate him next time we meet."

"The evil thoughts on Senior Brother are part of the Evil Sword Immortal. While I was eliminating these evil thoughts, he probably already sensed what happened here. In the next period of time, he should try to stay away from me."

"What a pity..."

"There is nothing to pity. Our goal from the beginning was not the Evil Sword Immortal, but to repair the Demon-Suppressing Tower. As long as he doesn't come to interfere with us, it is the best result." Xu Changqing's complexion was gradually improving, but Zi Xuan's complexion became very bad, and white hair was visibly increasing.

Chu Yang stepped forward, channeled some life force for her, and sighed: "As a Nv Wa clan member, after giving birth to a daughter, you should have lost your semi-divine body and aged like a mortal, but you used the Holy Spirit Bead to change all this."

"Now the power of the Holy Spirit Bead is greatly reduced, and it is difficult to help you stay young forever. You will gradually degenerate into a mortal body."

"Senior Zi Xuan, do you have any regrets?"

Zi Xuan smiled when she heard this: "As long as it is for him, I will not regret anything I do."

Chu Yang said helplessly: "Senior's obsession is so deep that this junior has only seen it in his life. I admire it, but is it a bit too much to sacrifice your own daughter for this?"

Zi Xuan's face suddenly turned pale, and she shook her head hurriedly: "It's not like that. I stayed in Fengdu City to wait for him back then and didn't know what happened in the Nanzhao Kingdom at all. By the time I rushed back, everything was too late."

"Qing'er turned into a stone statue to suppress the Water Demon Beast. I wanted to go to Bai Yue to fight for my life, but was stopped by the previous Saint Aunt. She knocked me out and sent me out of the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"She said that since I chose to give up the duty of the Nv Wa descendant, I was not qualified to interfere in the affairs of the Nv Wa clan, nor was I qualified to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"I really didn't want it to be like this. It's my fault for Qing'er. Not only did I seal her for decades with puppet soup, but I also took away the Holy Spirit Bead. If she had the Holy Spirit Bead by her side, the ending might have been different..."

Speaking of this, Zi Xuan covered her face and burst into tears.

Chu Yang didn't know how to comfort her. Since ancient times, the Heavenly Snake Staff, the Holy Spirit Bead, and the Holy Spirit Cloak have been treasures passed down from generation to generation by the Nv Wa clan.

Among them, the Holy Spirit Bead is a supreme treasure nurtured by every generation of Nv Wa descendants.

As Zi Xuan said, if the Witch Queen had been fully equipped back then, it is very likely that she would not have had to turn into a stone statue to suppress the Water Demon Beast.

It is conceivable how much she, as a mother, blamed herself. How could she not regret it? It was nothing more than deceiving herself.

Li Xiaoyao also learned her identity from Zi Xuan's confession. At this moment, he only felt that the sky was thundering, and the whole person was numb.

Ling Er's mother's mother? Isn't that the grandmother! Then Brother Xu...

Isn't that Ling Er's grandfather! My goodness!

Li Xiaoyao's legs went soft for a while. He had called Ling Er's grandfather brother many times along the way.

"What are you thinking!"

Chu Yang slapped Li Xiaoyao on the back of the head a few times and said angrily: "I said before that past events are past events when I met the Demon Lord. You don't take it to heart at all!"

"No matter what the future holds, Xu Changqing will only be Xu Changqing, not anyone else."

"I said this to Xiaoyao, and also to you, Senior Zi Xuan."

Zi Xuan looked at Chu Yang with tearful eyes.

"If you can accept the fact that Xu Changqing is just Xu Changqing, and are still willing to love him, then I raise both hands in favor of you being together. If you are just treating him as a substitute for Gu Liufang and Lin Yepin, then there is no need to torture yourself like this."

"Let him go, and let yourself go. While Ling Er is still here, everything can still be remedied. If you haven't been a good mother, you should at least be a good elder and fulfill your last bit of responsibility."

Zi Xuan stood there in a daze.

During the time she was in a daze, Lin Yueru and Tang Xuejian came to Chu Yang's side quietly. They were confused, so they had to ask Chu Yang to explain from the beginning.

So Chu Yang told the three-life love story of Xu Changqing and Zi Xuan from the beginning, from Gu Liufang to Lin Yepin, and now to Xu Changqing.

When they knew the relationship between Zi Xuan, Qing'er, and Ling Er, the unbelievable expressions of the two were almost the same as Li Xiaoyao's before.

"In front of Daoist Xu in the future, you must be honest, don't hook up and call each other brothers!"

Lin Yueru reminded Li Xiaoyao earnestly, but Li Xiaoyao could see the gloating smile on her face.

Damn evil woman!

So annoying! The most uncomfortable thing is that he couldn't refute it.

After a while.

Xu Changqing woke up tossing and turning, the scene of fighting with the Evil Sword Immortal flashed in his mind, his expression suddenly became nervous, and then relaxed the moment he saw Chu Yang.

"Junior Brother, did you save me?"

"Not me, it was Miss Zi Xuan here."

"Miss Zi Xuan?"

Xu Changqing seemed to remember more details, so he struggled to climb up from the bed, cupped his hands at Zi Xuan and said: "Thank you for saving my life, Xu Changqing will never forget it. May I ask Miss..."

The two looked at each other, and the voice stopped abruptly.

Because Xu Changqing saw the tear stains on Zi Xuan's face, at this moment, there was an inexplicable emotion spreading in his heart.

This girl is so familiar, I always feel like I've seen her somewhere?

The more Xu Changqing thought about it, the stronger the palpitation became.

Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru, who were bystanders, were so nervous that their toes curled. They hoped that Xu Changqing could remember something, so that Zi Xuan's persistence and waiting would not be let down.

But then they thought, it would not be a bad choice for the two to just give up. Love that lasted for three lives, under the brewing of time, had become a curse.

"Daoist, you're welcome. I just happened to pass by. The person who really saved you is your junior brother. All in all, it's the Daoist's own deep fortune."

Zi Xuan had a smile on her face, and even the tear stains were covered.

"In any case, Changqing still has to thank Miss Zi Xuan."

Xu Changqing didn't seem to remember anything, as polite as ever, and just right in his courtesy.

Tang Xuejian and Lin Yueru were a bit disappointed and walked out of the room dejectedly.

Li Xiaoyao had been sitting like wax since just now, and hurriedly followed behind the two girls.

"Changqing still has important matters to attend to. Miss Zi Xuan's kindness can only be repaid after the matter is finished. I hope Miss will not blame me."

"Daoist is joking, Zi Xuan didn't do anything, Daoist doesn't need to repay anything."

The two were polite for a while, and Xu Changqing and Chu Yang Jingtian left the inn.

After walking not far, Xu Changqing stopped suddenly and said softly: "Junior Brother is knowledgeable and talented, and should know how to repair her Holy Spirit Bead and restore her semi-divine body."

Jingtian, who was following behind the two, was shocked.

Xu Changqing remembers everything! (End of chapter)
