Chapter 552 Temple 3
After waiting for a while, Qing Sang saw Qing Luo suddenly come out. He was injured and looked extremely grumpy.
"How did fighting a giant beast get you so badly injured?" Qing Sang teased with a smile.
Qingluo's expression darkened further: "Did you encounter a giant beast?"
"Yes! All sorts of giant beasts, ugly and disgusting." Thinking of those bizarre monsters, each one was pushing Qing Sang's limits, so she acted swiftly and decisively, cutting through everything in her path.
"No!" Qingluo looked at Qingsang as if he were a monster, and after a moment, he spoke with a complicated expression. "I returned to the Changyuan battlefield of yesteryear." He only said this one sentence before falling silent.
Qing Sang didn't ask any more questions. It seemed this chess game was another illusion, changing according to the state of mind of the person entering. The moment Qing Sang entered, she thought, "This is the Gu Vein. Will I encounter some disgusting insects again?" So, the test given to her was an increasingly powerful and repulsive giant beast. The Changyuan Battlefield of yesteryear was Qing Luo's unresolved issue. To escape the illusion, she needed to defeat everything within it.
"At least this time, you survived to the end. We will find the truth."
"Mmm," Qingluo responded softly.
The two waited for a while before Song Tanxi came out. She was unharmed, with no signs of a struggle. She smiled and explained, "I went back to the time before I got married. Back then, my father's temperament hadn't changed, my younger brother was still young, and our family was all together in harmony. The scene was so beautiful that I didn't want to leave. But I know that my younger brother, who is all grown up now, is someone I miss even more."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yunting came out. Seeing Song Tanxi looking at him with concern, he quickly said, "Sister, I'm fine. I encountered all sorts of Gu worms, but I resolved them all. My cooperation with Xiao Liu has also become more seamless." Hearing Song Yunting praise it, the spider proudly crawled around on Song Yunting's head.
"Xiao Liu?" Qing Sang couldn't help but laugh. Song Yunting's naming skills for spiders were comparable to hers. Speaking of which, she missed Er Fu a little and wondered how it was doing with Xiao Hui.
Song Tanxi chuckled and continued, "My little brother has always loved all kinds of small animals. He'd pick them up and bring them home whenever he found them. He was also popular with the animals; quite a few would practically offer themselves up to him. The first one was a rabbit, the second a raccoon, the third a large rat, the fourth a rat snake, and the fifth a bat." Hearing the identities of the first five, Qing Sang couldn't help but twitch her lips. The style changed drastically starting with the third one; they were practically on the food chain. She wondered which of their natural enemies ended up in the stomach of that poor third one.
“These little animals were very obedient around my brother, so Father and Mother let him have his way. Now that I think about it, it might be because he was born with a Gu body.” Song Yun chuckled as she explained to Qing Sang, but the smile on her face faded as she spoke. “Later, Father’s temperament changed drastically. Ignoring my brother’s objections, he drove them all away. My brother was heartbroken for a long time because of this, and from then on, our family was never the same again.”
"Sister, it's alright. I have Xiao Liu now. It will always be with me, and I will protect it." Song Yunting reached out and touched the spider on her head, comforting Song Tanxi and asking with concern, "How are you?"
Song Tanxi repeated what she had just told Qing Sang and the others. Qing Sang thought that perhaps because Song Tanxi was Tan Xinlian and her heart was pure, her illusion was the most peaceful.
Qing Sang was somewhat worried because Liu Shuangyue hadn't emerged yet. Liu Shuangyue's physical body had died a gruesome death, and she harbored deep resentment. Coupled with her cultivation of demonic arts, her trials would likely be far from simple.
They waited a while longer, and just as Qing Sang was getting impatient and was trying to find a way to forcefully break the formation, Liu Shuangyue finally came out, her body shrouded in demonic energy.
"I seem to see my past life with Chen Shuangxu, or perhaps it could be said that it was Wanqiu's past life. I am Yueji, the spirit maiden of the Crimson Moon Clan, and he is Mingxu, an outsider I rescued by chance. I fell in love with him and kept him in the Crimson Moon Clan despite the opposition of my clan. But I never expected that he would deceive me, using me to steal the Crimson Moon Spirit Clan's most precious treasure, the Moon Heart Stone, and destroy the Crimson Moon Spirit Clan. In the end, I still fell into demonic possession. Ha, so we were destined to be a vengeful couple. In my past life, I was killed and fell into demonic possession because of him, and in this life, I was betrayed by everyone, suffered torment, and died falling into demonic possession because of her. Now I have to continue to be entangled with him as a puppet in this form. What a tragic fate this is!" Liu Shuangyue laughed softly at the end, but the laugh was more painful than crying.
Qing Sang seemed lost in thought. What the others encountered was either what they had thought at the moment they entered, or their deepest obsession. But what Liu Shuangyue encountered was clearly a replay she had seen in the Crimson Moon Clan's illusion—something that had actually happened, something Liu Shuangyue was unaware of now. What exactly was going on?
Before she could figure it out, the surrounding mist suddenly dissipated, revealing a bright moon hanging in the center. However, the moonlight did not illuminate the earth; instead, it shone directly in one direction. They understood and walked in that direction, where they found a door formed by moonlight at the end.
Stepping through that door and then stepping out again, the scene before my eyes was completely different.
