Fairy sister, I am not your white moonlight

Only after he finished speaking did Long Lianxue seem to reluctantly breathe a sigh of relief.

Having heard what she wanted to hear, she warned herself again in her mind to put herself in the right position.

"sorry……"

But before that, she quietly apologized to the girl next to her.

Xiao Jinyun, who was eating like a hamster, blinked his eyes, looked at his guilty senior sister, and then looked at Ye Xun beside him.

She thought about it, and then reached out and touched Long Lianxue's head, just like Ye Xun usually did to her, as if to comfort her.

The little mute knew everything, but because of the difficult family conditions she had experienced since childhood, she understood the importance of not getting entangled in things that she could not control.

As long as she could always be with Ye Xun, nothing else mattered.

…………

The altar gate is dozens of meters long and its thickness is difficult to estimate with the naked eye.

Moreover, although it is called a "door", the blue-grey entrance does not have any cracks that can be opened. It seems to be a whole, exuding an ancient and majestic malice.

That was the ancient Xiao family's test for their successor. One had to blast it open with all his strength to be qualified to enter the altar.

Long Lianxue held the long sword in her hand.

Ever since the little mute's shout, the three of them have never encountered a corpse puppet again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of having dinner together just now, she also asked Ye Xun why he was so persistent in exploring this relic.

Now, even if it was just to make up for her guilt towards the little mute, she would blast open the door in front of her that had been closed for who knows how long.

Glancing at Ye Xun and the little mute who were staring at her from behind, Long Lianxue smiled confidently.

Now she can truly be considered Xiao Jinyun's senior sister.

The long sword in his hand emitted a faint hot color, and the sword tip emitted a faint trembling roar.

Following the red-haired girl's delicate cry, sword energy that was no less than a full-strength attack from a Return to Void Stage slammed into the door.

The thick blue-gray door shook, revealing a few cracks, but it still stood in its original place.

Long Lianxue panted and launched an attack with her Spirit Transformation strength that was no less powerful than that of Return to Void. Even though Ye Xun repaired the defects in her body, the consumption was still not small.

Fortunately, my meridians will no longer be atrophied by inappropriate sword moves like before.

Ye Xun wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by Long Lianxue.

If you fail on one strike, try again.

She raised her sword, clearly panting from exhaustion, but still with a smile on her face.

As long as I can help them this time,

"boom--"

The gray gate collapsed with a loud bang, and after a burst of strange smoke and dust, an altar dozens of steps high was revealed. On top of the altar was a throne that was always simple and strange.

Ye Xun walked to Long Lianxue who was half-kneeling on the ground, and handed her a bottle of top-grade Guiyuan Pill under the subtle and complex look of the red-haired girl.

Although it was not valuable to Ye Xun, Long Lianxue could see its quality, which was even better than the one Ye Xun gave her last time.

Chapter 55: Lycoris

I never encountered a single corpse on the road, and even this door was too easy to open.

Everything was going smoothly, but something was wrong. Ye Xun cautiously asked Xiao Jinyun and Long Lianxue to wait for him outside the door, and he slowly climbed up the altar alone.

He tightly grasped the teleportation jade token that Nan Guiyan had given him before, so that even if there was any trap on it, Ye Xun could escape in the first place.

But when he cautiously approached the throne at the top, nothing happened.

Five-colored precious cores emitting a faint halo grew around the throne and swayed gently.

Could it really be that smooth?

He carefully picked a Five Elements Treasure Core.

Ye Xun had never seen this magical herb before and had only read about it in some ancient books about the Xiao family.

As a magical herb that can only be used to purify the blood power of the Xiao family, it should have disappeared completely along with the Xiao family long ago.

According to legend, this magical herb is extremely difficult to care for. Ye Xun originally planned to find some preserved dried flowers, or some seeds to cultivate himself, but now, fresh Five Elements Treasure Buds appear in front of him.

A little bit, it went too smoothly.

Subconsciously, Ye Xun always wanted to ignore these anomalies. After all, everything going smoothly was not a bad thing.

But when he wanted to summon the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book and judge the authenticity of the Five Elements Treasure Core based on the immortal recipe recorded on it, he suddenly found that there was nothing left in his body.

Ye Xun was not panicked. The fragments of the Heavenly Book were just a way for him to prolong his life. Even without this treasure, he would still be himself. He just needed to find other ways to prolong his life.

But what was strange was that not only the fragments of the Heavenly Book, but even the lingering strange disease that limited his life span to the age of twenty-four, disappeared without any warning.

The nightmare that had chased him for two lifetimes dissipated. Ye Xun frowned, but did not let his guard down.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Even if it is the fragments of the Heavenly Book, Ye Xun needs to take the initiative to repair them in order to unlock the magical recipe for curing diseases.

At this moment, a delicate and white hand was placed on Ye Xun's shoulder without any warning.

"Got you."

It was Senior Sister Yan Qin’s voice.

Ye Xun turned around, and what came into his sight was the cold and pretty face of Fairy Senior Sister.

"Go back. I have already made it clear to the sect and the family. I will never hold you responsible again."

She was holding a sword, with a hint of fatigue between her brows after traveling through mountains and rivers. Her tone, attitude, and the gentle look in her eyes when she looked at herself were all exactly the same as in my memory.

"You've taken care of me for so long, it's time to take a good rest. Now it's my turn to protect you..."

Ye Xun lowered her head again and saw the little mute silently tugging at her sleeves. She had changed into the white fairy dress that she had given her without her knowing.

The serious illness was cured and there were no more worries. It seemed that as long as he went back with them, he could have the peace he had been looking for.

In this way, it can be confirmed that this moment is not real.

Ye Xun sighed, drew his sword, turned around expressionlessly, and prepared to end this illusion.

"Yan Qin" suddenly grabbed the sword blade, her cold eyes widened, and her strength was so strange that Ye Xun could hardly break free.

"Come back with me, won't you?"

But her sudden stop without any warning made Ye Xun more certain of his judgment.

He let go of the sword, took out a fire starter and threw it out, lighting all the "Five Elements Treasure Cores" growing around the throne in front of him.

This illusion is so real that even if ordinary people know it is an illusion, it is difficult for them to make up their minds to escape from it.

But if he is willing to immerse himself in the illusions, he would no longer be Ye Xun.

"That's fine, but I can't do it."

The fire spread through every "Five Elements Treasure Core", until the high temperature distorted the air, and its original appearance could be seen.

Ye Xun recognized the blood-red strange flower, it was the famous Lycoris radiata.

It only grows where blood and resentment are entangled, and its pollen will induce people to have beautiful hallucinations.

Now, its body has been burned by Ye Xun. After a shrill scream that seems to be a woman's, "Yan Qin" and "Xiao Jinyun" suddenly disappeared, and Ye Xun returned to reality.

The surrounding scene has not changed much, the blue-gray altar is still tall and majestic.

The fragments of the heavenly book lay quietly in his body, and the strange and tricky disease naturally followed him like a bone-attaching cancer.

Long Lianxue and Xiao Jinyun had already fallen at the door, obviously having inhaled the same pollen of the Lycoris radiata, but there was a hint of satisfaction in their smiles.

As if they had noticed Ye Xun, who was unusually sober, rustling sounds gradually began to be heard in the city, and the figures of corpse puppets were crawling out from countless dark corners.

The beauty of the illusion contrasts sharply with the cruelty of reality.

The strange rustling sounds were getting closer, but the two women still showed no signs of waking up, leaving Ye Xun alone facing the endless corpse puppets.

It seemed as if fate had been playing tricks on him, as if it had given him a glimmer of hope, only to see his miserable appearance as he fell from a great height.

But fortunately, he never became a slave to fate.

Ye Xun made a prompt decision and immediately began to set up the formation with the altar as the center. The formation that Du Xiuming taught him that night was enough for him to set up the strongest version of the "Immortal Trapping Formation" -

But it is not enough. The corpse puppets are being strangled by spider silk, but new ones will soon fill the gap.

The scattered fragments were also slowly crawling on the ground. After being stitched together, they turned into more powerful deformed corpse puppets, which continued to attack the formation.

There is no time left, they must be woken up as soon as possible.

Ye Xun pulled up the two women lying on the ground, took out the silver needles, and stabbed them into their philtrum.

Long Lianxue coughed violently and sat up from the ground, as if she had just experienced a nightmare.

"Wait, Ye Xun, I've thought about it and realized that we really can't let Jin Yun down..."

The red-haired girl screamed and stood up instinctively, but when she looked up, she saw Ye Xun concentrating on testing the little mute with a silver needle behind him.

"Ms. Lianxue, that was just an illusion."

Ye Xun's expression was calm, Long Lianxue's pupils shrank slightly, she looked back at the tide of corpses that were attacking the formation, and immediately drew out her sword.

Long Lianxue woke up quickly, but the little mute was still in a coma. It seemed that the blood in his body reacted to the pollen. His body suddenly stood up and was moving uncontrollably towards the throne on the altar.

Ye Xun grabbed her, took out a rope, tied himself and Xiao Jinyun's bodies together, and then forced them to sit face to face.

But obviously, the longer the girl remains in this state, the more dangerous it becomes.

The pollen of Lycoris radiata can make people see what they want to see.

Long Lianxue had heard of this plant, but at this moment she couldn't help but look back and take a peek at Ye Xun and Xiao Jinyun tied together, biting her lip slightly.

She kept telling herself that she had nothing but gratitude and admiration for Ye Xun, and the purpose of her visit this time was just to bring the two of them together.

But what Long Lianxue just saw in the illusion was clearly her and Ye Xun together. They knew each other, practiced together, and almost became Taoist companions.

"Miss Lianxue, can you do me a favor?"

There was no time left for Long Lianxue to think everything through. Xiao Jinyun was slow to wake up, probably because his constitution had produced a special reaction to the pollen of Lycoris radiata.

Perhaps the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Book will record a magical prescription that can cure the little mute's symptoms, but at least for now, it is helpless against the trouble Ye Xun is facing.

However, he was not a precious puppet that was useless without the fragments of the Heavenly Book. At this moment, Ye Xun had already thought of other methods.

Dream.

Chapter 56 Only Pain is Real

In fact, it can't be considered a medical method. Many monks know this trick, and its essence is to resonate with the other person's soul.

This move is generally used to teach skills between master and apprentice, or to cultivate tacit understanding between Taoist partners. Once one of them makes a mistake, all the damage needs to be shared by both of them.

Given Xiao Jinyun's current condition, if Ye Xun rashly enters his dream, it is very likely that he will suffer damage to his soul.

But he had no choice. If anything went wrong with his illness, he would also be devoured by the disease in the future.

"You said."

Long Lianxue suddenly found herself somewhat afraid to look into Ye Xun's eyes, because the illusion caused by the Lycoris radiata just now made her unsure of how to look at Ye Xun.

Although she felt a little embarrassed, she didn't waste time being shy.

"Please delay for a quarter of an hour. If I am still not awake in a quarter of an hour, you can leave on your own."

Ye Xun handed Long Lianxue a teleportation talisman and several bottles of pills that could restore qi, blood and true energy.

The red-haired girl was stunned for a moment, then instinctively took the teleportation talisman.

Does this mean she has to escape alone?

Long Lianxue saw Ye Xun take out a silver needle and pierce the acupuncture points on himself and the little mute.

This was the backup plan he left for himself. Facing the endless stream of corpse puppets, the formation and Long Lianxue could only last for a quarter of an hour at most.

A quarter of an hour later, regardless of success or failure, this special silver needle will force Ye Xun to wake up.

"sorry to bother you."

Ye Xun spoke sincerely because he knew that Long Lianxue had no reason to risk her life for him.
