Grudge Breaker

Chapter 213: Unintentional
"No, little girl, what can I say? I didn't even see him!"

Ji Baishou picked up another pot of wine on the table, and this time he used a cup.

"Gu Cangyue is a God after all. You can ask Zhuang Yuheng what the Immortal Temple is, which is located in the eastern part of the upper world and is under the Immortal Tree."

"Although my rank allows me to enter and exit the Immortal Tree, there is a thick fog in the Immortal Temple and I can't get in at all! Not to mention contacting him."

After Ji Baishou finished speaking, he ignored her and continued drinking. However, when Zhuang Yuheng heard about the fog, his expression changed. That expression made Song Weichen even more certain that something had happened to Gu Cangyue!
"Brother Yuheng, Cangyue..."

Song Weichen turned and walked towards Zhuang Yuheng. She felt her legs go weak and she almost couldn't stand. Zhuang Yuheng supported her and glanced at Ji Baishou with a slightly reproachful look.

"Weiwei, take care of yourself first. Cangyue is a supreme god and is in the upper realm, so nothing will happen to him."

"Then tell me the truth... What does the fog in the temple mean?"

“The spirit is hidden in the fog” is too complicated to explain, so Zhuang Yuheng decided to use a more understandable way of saying it.

"You know how a chrysalis turns into a butterfly, right?"

Song Weichen nodded, not understanding why Zhuang Yuheng asked this question.

"The Supreme Gods are different from mortal cultivators. Very few of them can cultivate two souls after reaching a certain level of cultivation. However, the process of giving birth to a new soul is extremely dangerous, almost equivalent to dying once. Therefore, a barrier will automatically appear around the Supreme God's residence to protect him from harm and intrusion. This barrier looks like thick fog, and its function is similar to the cocoon when an insect pupa turns into a butterfly."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Song Weichen thought Zhuang Yuheng was lying.

"If fogging in the temple is a good thing, why did you look like that when you heard about it just now?"

Zhuang Yuheng was startled. Well, the little girl was very observant. He had to think about how to make it up...

In fact, to a certain extent, Zhuang Yuheng did not lie, but the fog in the Immortal Temple was not as simple as he said - because Gu Cangyue originally had two souls, but very few people knew about this.

If it weren't for the last time when Song Weichen was punished by the territory master to kneel and Gu Cangyue lost control and fought fiercely with Mo Tingfeng in mid-air, but at the same time he was worried about Song Weichen, so he drove his auxiliary soul to guard the marrow washing hall, Zhuang Yuheng would not have discovered it.

However, having two souls was already the upper limit. Even the ancient gods had never heard of giving birth to a third soul. The fog rising in the Undead Temple at this time could only mean that there was something wrong with his soul.

The good news is that he is trying desperately to save himself.

But if I tell the truth to Song Weichen, given her personality, she will be worried and anxious all day until she meets Gu Cangyue. Since I can't help her, why bother adding to her worries?

Zhuang Yuheng cleared his throat and pulled up Song Weichen's wrist to take his pulse.

"You should pay more attention to yourself. The reason I looked sad just now was because I was distracted and thinking about you."

"Lord Cangyue's true form is an ancient god, and he is now in the state of Yuan Shen Transformation. This is a great thing. He just needs some time to cultivate. It is not our turn to worry."

Song Weichen wanted to say something else, but he saw Ji Baishou, who was drinking lazily, suddenly stood up with an enthusiastic look on his face, completely different from before.

"The painted fan is coming!"
.
Because the sad painted fan has no real form, it can come and go like smoke in the Youshui realm under its control. Therefore, even Zhuang Yuheng and Mo Tingfeng cannot detect her coming and going. I don't know how this rough old man Ji Baishou recognizes her. All we can say is that everything is caused by love.

Just as she finished speaking, Bei Huashan knocked on the door and came in. She could have appeared directly in the basement, but she did so out of privacy and etiquette.

"Weiwei, I'm so glad you're okay. I was really scared to see you in Sanzu River."

Bei Huashan affectionately pulled Song Weichen and looked at him again and again, with a look of pity on her face, and completely ignored Ji Baishou who was "fawning and submissive" beside her.

She looked at Zhuang Yuheng with a smile, half teasing and half comforting, "Mr. Yuheng, what did I say? The little girl is very lucky. She must be protected by the Heavenly Lord. Nothing will happen to her."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yuheng bowed deeply to Bei Huashan, and Mo Tingfeng also returned a big bow, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Lord Yuheng, Brother Feng, what are you doing? It seems so strange."

She returned the greeting seriously, then frowned as if she remembered something.

"Since Weiwei is well, can you chat with the two brothers for a while? Huashan has something urgent to discuss with you."

Mo Tingfeng was a little hesitant when he heard this. He didn't want to be separated from Song Weichen anymore, no matter life or death, not even for a second.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yuheng also looked embarrassed. The little girl "died" because of him, and finally came back to life, and he didn't want to see her disappear.

Fortunately, Song Weichen was very sensitive. As soon as she saw the expressions on the two men's faces, she quickly tried to smooth things over. She swore that she would wait for them to come back, and then she pushed and shoved the three of them out of the door.

"Abai, take good care of Weiwei, we will be back soon."

Bei Huashan had clearly left and disappeared, but they heard an order out of nowhere. Ji Baishou and Song Weichen both felt depressed in their hearts.

But one of them obeyed Bei Huashan's orders, while the other was too embarrassed to refuse her kindness. So after Bei Huashan and the other two left, the originally lively basement became so awkward that it could be carved out of another basement...
.
Ji Baishou pointed at the plum blossom stool beside him and motioned for Song Weichen to sit down. She moved over reluctantly at a snail's pace, as if the awkward conversation from the past was happening again.

The two were silent for a moment, what a terrible awkward atmosphere... Song Weichen laughed awkwardly and subconsciously rubbed the jade pendant in his hand for comfort.

Ji Baishou had not even looked at her at first, but when he caught a glimpse of the jade pendant in her hand, he was stunned and stopped halfway with the wine glass he was about to drink.

"How do you have this thing? Where did it come from?!"

Seeing him staring at the jade pendant in his hand, Song Weichen subconsciously tightened his grip and abruptly pulled his hand into his sleeve, fearing that it would be snatched away.

"It was given to me by an elder and good friend. It's just an ordinary jade pendant."

"ordinary?!"

Ji Baishou sneered, drank the wine in the cup, and glanced at Song Weichen.

"Either you are ignorant, or you treat me as an idiot."

Song Weichen rolled his eyes in his heart again. This weird uncle is quite interesting. He even pays attention to rhyme when scolding people. Tsk, who said that single rhyme is not rhyme?

But... could this bad-tempered uncle with low EQ know something? But Mo Tingfeng and Zhuang Yuheng couldn't tell where the jade pendant came from, so how did he know?

...How about exploring?
"Uncle Ji is extremely powerful and knows everything, so naturally I am ignorant. But this was indeed given to me by a friend, and she didn't explain what it was for. I just thought it was a jade pendant made of ordinary material, isn't it?" Song Weichen looked harmless.

Ji Baishou pondered for a moment, put down the wine pot and wine glass, sat upright, and looked serious.

"Do you know the name of this jade pendant?" Song Weichen blinked his deer eyes. Does this jade pendant have a name?
Could it be a relative of the "Purple Gold Gourd" in Journey to the West? The spell is also "If I call you once, will you dare to answer?"

Song Weichen shook her head, she was speechless about her out-of-control thought process.
.
"It's called Yukui."

"It can absorb and store a large amount of puppet energy. It is a treasure forged by the first Si Chen of Si Chen Mansion. At that time, the way to deal with chaotic souls was to break them up and put them into the puppet control. However, I heard that this thing has limitations and dangers, and the quantity is also limited. Three thousand years ago, Si Chen Mansion changed to a new way to deal with chaotic souls, and no longer used this thing after that."

"Nine of these items were made, eight of which were broken, and one was lost while investigating a case. I think what you have in your hand is the lost item, the only puppet left in the Mei Realm."

"Eyes as big as copper bells" refers to Song Weichen. The more she listened, the more exaggerated her expression became. She didn't expect that this jade pendant had such a great origin? !
Jade pendant, oh jade pendant, how do you manage to look so ordinary and yet so extraordinary...

Now that she thinks about it, Granny Huang had asked her many times to take good care of the jade pendant. At that time, she regarded it as a token of love and a treasure. Now she knows that this thing is a genuine treasure... But where did Granny Huang, a common village woman, get it from?
……

Just as he was lost in thought, Ji Baishou spoke with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Did Tingfeng give it to you?"

When Song Weichen heard this, he shook his head like a rattle. He didn't want to say anything nonsense. If others heard it, they would think that Bingtuozi was partial and derelict in his duty.

But then he thought again, something was wrong, very wrong. As a dignified Si Chen, how could Mo Tingfeng not know about this thing?
"Uncle Ji, Bingtuozi doesn't seem to recognize this jade pendant. Is he hiding something from me?"

Ji Baishou suddenly realized, "This thing is very old. Tingfeng came to the Mei Realm a thousand years ago, so he really has never recognized it. Even if he has heard of the name 'Yukui', he probably doesn't know what it is specifically."

Ji Baishou spread his palm, stretched out two fingers and waved at Song Weichen, then raised his chin, clearly asking her to give him the jade pendant.

Seeing this, Song Weichen held the jade pendant tighter. This was something given to her by Grandma Huang, and no one could take it away.

Ji Baishou looked disdainful and snorted.

"I judge others by my own standards. Do I really want to be in your hands?"

"Do you know how to use it? Give it to me and I'll teach you how to use it."

Song Weichen smiled awkwardly again and handed over the jade pendant sheepishly.

Ji Baishou took the jade pendant and broke it into two pieces. She regretted it very much. The jade pendant that she had "reconciled" with great difficulty was "divorced" again by this weird uncle with low EQ.

"When the Qi in these two halves of the jade pendant is sufficient, one half is equivalent to the power of the Fire Element, and the other half is equivalent to the power of the Water Element. They can be combined into one or used separately. They will stop when the Qi is exhausted."

"Since you have a connection with this jade pendant, I will teach you the mantra of controlling puppets. Tsk, I don't know how much your brain can remember... Never mind, I will just tell you, and you try to remember it."

Song Weichen listened to a bunch of gibberish unwillingly, complaining in her heart as she listened. She didn't know why the strange uncle told her all this, as if she had the ability to restrain the soul and disperse its puppet energy and put it inside.

After a while, Ji Baishou obviously noticed that Song Weichen was distracted, so he shook his head and stopped talking. He put the jade pendant together using the mantra and returned it to Song Weichen. The two of them once again fell into an awkward silence.

Especially in the basement of the sleepy realm, this kind of cold is really double cold.

It's really killing me...
.
Instead of just sitting there and wasting time, it would be better to do something. Song Weichen thought about the last time he asked Ji Baishou to do something, and he didn't know if he took it to heart, so he just made small talk.

"Uncle Ji, is there a solution to the matter I asked you to inquire about last time?"

Ji Baishou looked confused, and then slapped his head.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. It's about the love-killing ban on Tingfeng, right? The owner of the Wu Zi Pavilion in the upper realm is an old friend of mine. I asked him to help me find out. You can see for yourself."

He cast a spell and waved it in the air. A tattered ancient book vaguely emerged from the void. The book automatically turned to a certain page, and the content gradually became clear.
-
The love-killing ban is not unsolvable.

Use the soul of the person you are in love with as a guide, mix in two cents of his heart's blood and two cents of his tears, and use seven ounces of Duanchen wine as a matchmaker. Drink it all at midnight on the seventh day of the seventh month, and the ban will be lifted immediately.

Those who lift this ban will regain their emotions and love, just like ordinary people.

But the memory of the person I loved has completely disappeared, the love is gone, and there is no way to recall it.

If anyone who has lifted this ban attempts to forcibly recall the past by using other methods, he will be devoured by fire and thunder, and his body and soul will be destroyed, and he will fall into the eternal night.

If one lifts this ban and naturally falls in love with an old lover again, the Taiyin and Liuhe, and the fortune and luck are in harmony, then this love is destined by heaven.
-
Song Weichen stared at the words in the air for a long time, until Ji Baishou waved his hand impatiently to make them disappear. She still didn't come back to her senses, and just stared blankly at the same place.

"Don't understand? I find that your reaction is really slow."

He did not hide his sarcasm at all.

"You and Sang Pu were originally one person. Ting Feng placed this ban on her because he was in love with her. You can also break it. If you want him to lift the love-breaking ban, you need to sacrifice one of your souls. Everything else is easy. Dust-breaking wine is made from rootless water, and Hua Shan brewed mindless water is. Then, on the seventh..."

"I understand."

Song Weichen finally spoke, interrupting Ji Baishou's chatter.

"After Tingfeng drinks this wine that can lift the ban, he will completely forget about Sang Pu... and he will also completely forget about me, right?"

Ji Baishou did not comment, but raised his eyebrows while playing with the wine glass on the table.

“Everything has a price.”

"Besides, what if he falls in love with you again? It's not impossible."

"If it were me and Hua Shan, I would still fall in love with her again even if I forgot her a hundred times! This matter depends on how determined you are to lift the ban on him, or are you reluctant to sacrifice one of your souls? In fact, losing one of your souls won't have much of an impact, it will just make your body functions and physical fitness a little worse."

Ji Baishou kept chattering in her ear. Song Weichen only felt a ringing in her ears. Her heart felt dull and she used all her strength to hold herself up and not collapse.

So this is ah……

He would forget her, completely and utterly forget her.

But she couldn't give him any hints, and even had to prevent others from giving him hints, so that he wouldn't be forced to remember her because of "it", and thus suffer the pain of being devoured and destroyed both physically and spiritually.

In other words, she wanted to completely "destroy" herself in his life - at the moment when she had fallen completely in love with him.

God really answers all prayers - she once really wanted to know if Mo Tingfeng would still love her as much as he does now if he lost Sang Pu's memory. How come God gave her the opportunity to realize it as soon as she had this thought?

How should she choose?
Song Weichen lowered his head dejectedly, a flash of purple aura flashed in his eyes, but no one noticed.

"Uncle Ji, please do me a favor."
