Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 921 Container
"At first, my junior brother and I were skeptical, but we couldn't make up our minds."

Daoyi and the other man both understood Ling Xuzi's dilemma.

There was chaos at the foot of the mountain, and they naturally did not want the immortal they had found with so much difficulty to be evil. However, all signs showed that the immortal-like Wuxiang had done unforgivable things.

Wuxiang also taught them how to make a living. Although they learned most of it secretly when they suspected that Wuxiang had problems, it cannot be denied that it was Wuxiang who led them into the door.

Hey, that's not right.

Daoyi discovered that she had overlooked a very important issue.

"Since you said that the problem is Wuxiang, why is there only Elder Xu in the 'Five Characters Department'? Where is Wuxiang?"

"That's why we made up our minds to betray Kunlun and become their enemy." Ling Xuzi's face flashed with sadness. "Through the events of Zhaixing and Wang Zhang, we guessed that Wuxiang was secretly doing something shameful. Everything we saw in the back mountain also confirmed our guess. But Wuxiang had done us a favor, and we thought at the time that we just needed to stop his plan, so we took Baoyi away."

"But not long after we left the mountain gate, we met a person on the road." Ling Xuzi paused, sighed deeply, and then said: "Or rather, it was a remnant soul."

Daoyi: "Is it Xu Wei's?"

Ling Xuzi nodded heavily, "Yes, Wang Zhang and I couldn't believe our eyes at that time."

They are all people who have learned magic, so it is normal for them to see abnormal humans.

But if it was someone they were familiar with, it would be enough to make them doubt everything they had learned.

At that time, Zhaixing was resting, Lingxuzi and Wang Zhang were teasing the sleeping Wang Bole and Wang Yifeng, as well as Baoyi who was taken away by them.

Suddenly, the three children who were sleeping soundly frowned, and the next moment, they burst into tears.

Zhaixing, who was lying on Wang Zhang's legs, woke up instantly.

The two handed all three children over to her.

"Zhaixing, watch the kids."

"Sister-in-law, stay here and don't leave."

After the two men had explained everything, they looked at each other and then looked in the same direction that the three children were looking in after waking up.

With just one glance, both of them were stunned.

They saw Xu Wei who followed Wu Xiang down the mountain to quell the rebellion. A thin, even somewhat transparent Xu Wei.

"Big Brother!" Ling Xuzi was very happy and was about to go over and give him a big hug.

Xu Wei looked up at them with a dull look in his eyes.

Wang Zhang had a feeling something was wrong. "Big Brother, why do you look so weak? Didn't you go down the mountain with Master to quell the rebellion? Where is he?"

After he reminded him, Ling Xuzi also reacted, "Yes, aren't you two together? Did Wuxiang get into trouble?"

Hearing Wuxiang's name, the confusion in Xu Wei's eyes gradually dissipated, and then his whole body shook, and his figure became increasingly faint, almost invisible under the sparse firelight in the night.

"Senior Brother, what happened to you?" Afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye, Ling Xuzi stepped forward and tried to grab him, but a pair of hands just pierced through his body and went straight to his heart.

Due to Ling Xuzi's contact, Xu Wei's figure disappeared a little more.

"Big Brother!" Wang Zhang's voice unconsciously raised a little.

The three little kids who were being coaxed by Zhaixing started crying at the same time. Wang Zhang lowered his voice, "Big Brother, what happened to you?"

Xu Wei raised his eyes to watch them working, and his figure became even fainter.

He opened his mouth, "Leave him. Take my body."

Xu Wei looked extremely exhausted and spoke incoherently. When he finished speaking, he turned into starlight like a summer firefly and disappeared from the sight of the few people in this nameless mountain.

Ling Xuzi set up a formation on the side, trying to retain Xu Wei's soul, but it was in vain.

Wang Zhang's hand still remained in the posture of reaching out to grab Xu Wei.

The two of them looked at the night sky in the direction where Xu Wei disappeared, and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time. It was the crying of the three children that woke them up. Together with Zhaixing, they skillfully coaxed the three children to sleep.

The over-shocked brain is also buffered by the busyness.

"Junior brother, we were wrong!" After Zhaixing and the three children fell asleep again, Ling Xuzi sat down under a tree and sighed dejectedly.

After many years, Ling Xuzi and his two disciples said the same thing.

"We were wrong!"

Daoyi thought for a moment, "You think that you didn't listen to the old immortal and didn't accompany Master Xu all the time, which led to his death."

Ling Xuzi nodded, "At that time, we thought Wuxiang's cultivation was higher than ours, and as long as he accompanied our eldest brother, he would definitely be able to protect him. No one expected that..."

Who could have thought that their mentor, whom they were so grateful to, would be the one who took Xu Wei's life.

What has happened in the past is irrational and no one can change it, not even Daoyi. Moreover, she glanced vaguely at Baoyi who didn't say much next to her. Back then, the three of them were actually answering a question of choosing one person from two options.

However, this is a question whose answer is unknown to anyone.

Because of appearances, they chose to hold one.

I believe Baoyi has also figured this out, so he has been speaking very little today.

Daoyi thought about it and asked for him, "Old man, why did you raise the eldest brother instead of letting him grow up with the two uncles of the Wang family?"

Ling Xuzi: "Wang Zhang and I later thought carefully about the last words that our eldest brother left for us at the cost of his soul, and we found many things wrong with them. When we saw Wuxiang, he looked even younger than Wang Zhang. We thought this was the ability of a true immortal."

"But through the experiences of the eldest and youngest brothers, as well as the humans and non-humans imprisoned in the back mountains of Kunlun, we suspect that Wuxiang is looking for, or artificially creating, a suitable container for his soul."

"I can't guarantee whether your senior brother's physique meets Wuxiang's requirements, but his physique is almost the same as that of the eldest senior brother. I dare not gamble. The Wang family is a large family and it is easy for people to find it. Therefore, I will keep Baoyi with me."

"We checked the physical conditions of the two Wang family members at the time and found nothing special, so he took them back to the Wang family."

It took Brother Daoyi and his sister a while to digest Ling Xuzi's words.

Until the Xie family came down the mountain to continue the warm tea and the freshly cooked food.

The rustling autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and the yard seemed to come alive again.

Daoyi pinched his numb fingers and asked, "Since you were determined to hide, why did you take me away during the chaos?"

Ling Xuzi paused for a moment before saying, "We were not reconciled at the time. Senior Brother's body was occupied by Wuxiang, and we didn't know what he wanted to do by taking Senior Brother's body. Therefore, Wang Zhang and I decided that he and Zhaixing would take the three children away, and I would go back to find out what was going on."

good afternoon
