Zongwu: After reading my diary, my master's wife collapsed

So Ji Yaohua wanted to see if Ruyan was hit by the life and death talisman, but she couldn't see anything, and didn't know whether Ruyan was really hit by the life and death talisman as mentioned in the diary.

"Junior sister..." Ruyan called out to Ji Yaohua with a smile as beautiful as a flower, and there seemed to be a little more intimacy in her tone.

Seeing Ruyan's attitude, Ji Yaohua felt a strange feeling in her heart. Although they were sisters and their relationship was closer than that of ordinary people, in Ji Yaohua's opinion, their closeness was limited. Ruyan's sudden behavior made Ji Yaohua feel uncomfortable. At the same time, she also felt that something must have happened to Ruyan.

So Ji Yaohua thought of the life and death talisman first.

Ruyan wanted to get close to Ji Yaohua and win her over. Ji Yaohua also wanted to get close to Ruyan and see what Ruyan was like.

This pair of sisters, who had different thoughts, chatted in a seemingly intimate manner.

"By the way, senior sister, I wonder if you have heard of a certain martial art." Ji Yaohua asked casually.

"What martial arts? Tell me about it. Let me see if I know it." Ruyan said with a smile.

"Life and Death Talisman——"

At the moment Ji Yaohua uttered the three words "Life and Death Talisman", Ji Yaohua, who had been paying attention to Ruyan, clearly noticed that Ruyan's body became stiff at that moment. Although it recovered in just a moment, Ji Yaohua could be sure that her senior sister really had been planted with a Life and Death Talisman.

"Junior sister, why do you suddenly ask this?" Ruyan tried hard to calm herself down, turned around, and asked Ji Yaohua with a smile.

"In fact, it is a piece of information I found in the Six Gates' data not long ago. It is said that the Tianshan Lingjiu Palace has a thing called the Life and Death Talisman. Anyone who is hit by this Life and Death Talisman will be worse off than death."

"Really? I just don't know, junior sister, have you found out the method to remove this life and death talisman?" Ruyan asked seemingly casually, but in fact, she was very concerned, and there was even a bit of eagerness and expectation in her tone.

Ji Yaohua naturally noticed the change in Ruyan's mood. She was even 100% sure that her senior sister was really in trouble and had really been hit by the life and death talisman.

Ji Yaohua shook her head: "Unless there is a special antidote or a technique, you will be controlled by the life and death talisman for the rest of your life. Senior sister, could it be that you have been hit by the life and death talisman?"

"What nonsense are you talking about—" Ruyan subconsciously refuted, but when she saw Ji Yaohua's eyes that had almost determined that Ruyan was hit by the life and death spell, she stopped talking: "Junior sister, how did you know this?"

Seeing Ruyan's face darken, Ji Yaohua sighed in her heart. She was merely poisoned and had to obey An Shigeng's arrangements, but Ruyan was poisoned by a life and death talisman that was even more vicious than her poison. Ji Yaohua looked at Ruyan and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

"It doesn't matter how I found out. What matters is, what are you going to do, senior sister?" Ji Yaohua asked, shaking her head.

"What should I do? What can I do? You have no idea how terrible the Life and Death Talisman is. Junior sister, the poison in your body is nothing compared to this Life and Death Talisman. Life and Death Talisman, Life and Death Talisman, it really makes people's life worse than death." Ruyan's face showed bitterness.

Seeing Ruyan like this, Ji Yaohua began to really treat Ruyan as her senior sister, as her sister, just like those sisters who were fed poison by An Yunshan and lurking in the Six Gates like her.

Originally, Ji Yaohua still had a barrier in her heart towards Ruyan, even though they were senior and junior sisters. But now, that barrier was almost disappearing.

"Senior Sister, who is the person who planted the life and death talisman on you? How strong is he? Can he be a match for An Yunshan?" Ji Yaohua asked the question she really wanted to know.

If the other party can fight against An Yunshan, Ji Yaohua doesn't mind betraying the An family, An Shigeng, and An Yunshan.

"We should be able to deal with An Yunshan - wait? Junior sister, you seem to know a lot of information." Ruyan came back to her senses, heard the question in Ji Yaohua's words, and couldn't help but squint at Ji Yaohua.

"This..." Ji Yaohua then realized that because she was too anxious, she had unknowingly revealed some secrets.

"It's a diary? Junior sister, you have a diary too?" Ruyan looked at Ji Yaohua with burning eyes.

In fact, on her way back to the capital, Ruyan thought about many issues.

Not to mention the diaries far away in the Ming Dynasty or the Sui Dynasty, the contents of the diaries in the Song Dynasty alone made Ruyan have a lot of doubts.

For example, why did Zhuge Shenhou suddenly look for someone who rides a thousand-mile horse, and why did he later send people to Zhongnan Mountain to look for him?

It was as if Zhuge Shenhou had already known Ye Xiu's whereabouts in advance.

She didn't think much about it before, but the appearance of the diary changed many of her views.

Especially the diary, which she threw away on purpose on the first day, but appeared in front of her again on the second day, with even one more entry in it.

Later, she tried to destroy the diary, but found that it was impossible to destroy it. Then, she discovered more magical things about the diary.

Combining the diary with the contents in the diary, Ruyan once had a suspicion: Has anyone else seen this diary besides herself?

Now her junior sister Ji Yaohua inexplicably knew information that she shouldn't have known, which made Ruyan suspicious, so she simply asked about the diary.

If Ji Yaohua had never seen the diary, then when she mentioned the diary, Ji Yaohua would know nothing. If Ji Yaohua had seen the diary, then after she told Ji Yaohua about the diary, Ji Yaohua would naturally understand what was going on, and it would be easier for her to form an alliance with Ji Yaohua.

"Senior Sister, you also have a diary? Huh? I can actually talk about a diary?" Ji Yaohua was stunned for a moment.

"Junior sister, it looks like we need to have a good talk." Ruyan looked at Ji Yaohua seriously and said.

"Yeah!" Ji Yaohua nodded.

With the diary as a link, the two people reached a consensus tacitly.

……

After changing his appearance again, Ye Xiu looked far inferior to his real face, but he still had a handsome face. He wore a slightly loose scholar's robe, which made Ye Xiu look a little thin.

In addition, Ye Xiu also had a guqin case on his back, which contained a pretty good guqin, but it was just an ordinary guqin.

If Ye Xiu used this guqin to play the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon, he could only use 50% of his strength. If he used more, the guqin would not be able to bear it.

However, even with only 50% of the power, the power unleashed by the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon is still extremely astonishing. Even a grand master in the Vajra Realm would be helpless in the face of this level of the Eight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragon.

After all, with the reward from the diary, Ye Xiu had already practiced the Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon to perfection. What he lacked was only the Heavenly Demon Harp.

Of course, if it is the Tianmoqin, the Tianmoqin plus the Tianlong Bayin can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

Ye Xiu traveled around the world with this expression, but never encountered any problems. He arrived in the capital safely and smoothly.

When Ye Xiu walked into the capital of the Song Dynasty with his violin case on his back, he felt a pair of eyes falling on him and not moving away for a long time.

Ye Xiu looked ordinary at the moment, and under normal circumstances he would not attract anyone's attention.

But now someone had their eyes on him and didn't move away for a long time. This inevitably made Ye Xiu a little curious. Ye Xiu followed the eyes and looked over, and then he saw a woman, a very beautiful woman, a very beautiful woman sitting there. The woman in the wheelchair is looking at herself.

"ruthless!"

The moment he saw that woman, this name immediately appeared in Ye Xiu’s mind.

After all, in the capital of the Song Dynasty, Ye Xiu only knew of one beautiful woman in a wheelchair, and that was Wu Qing, one of the Four Famous Detectives.

At this moment, Wuqing was looking at Ye Xiu with a curious and inquiring look.

Wuqing knew from her diary that Ye Xiu would arrive in the capital today.

Although Ye Xiu could change his appearance, Wuqing didn't know what Ye Xiu looked like at this time, but she learned from the diary that Ye Xiu was carrying a violin case.

So Wuqing arrived at the city gate early today, waiting for Ye Xiu's arrival.

As for whether he would guard the wrong city gate, Wuqing was not too worried. After all, Wuqing could calculate Ye Xiu's direction in the capital based on Ye Xiu's previous location, and then he would know which city gate Ye Xiu would use to arrive in the capital.

As expected, Wuqing waited for a man in the morning who was carrying a violin case and had an ordinary, but somewhat handsome face.

Wuqing's undisguised gaze was also noticed by the other party, which made Wuqing certain that the other party was a master with great martial arts skills.

However, Wu Qing was sixty percent sure that the other person was the one who wrote the diary, but she did not immediately go to look for Ye Xiu because she didn't know what reason to use to approach Ye Xiu.

However, although she had no reason to get close to Ye Xiu, she still used her mind reading skills to try to read Ye Xiu's thoughts and wanted to understand more about him.

At least Wuqing wanted to make sure how Ye Xiu felt about her after seeing her, so that Wuqing could make a plan to get close to Ye Xiu.

What surprised Wuqing was that she was unable to read any of Ye Xiu's thoughts. Ye Xiu completely blocked her mind reading ability.

This made Wuqing feel a little surprised. How could the mind reading be ineffective? Wuqing had never encountered such a situation before.

You have to know that even if it was the Divine Marquis Zhuge Zhengwo, Wuqing could still read some of his thoughts when he was not on guard. Even if Zhuge Zhengwo was on guard, Wuqing could still vaguely read some fragmentary words and some of Zhuge Zhengwo's emotions, such as joy, anger, sorrow and happiness.

But when her mind-reading ability was applied to Ye Xiu, she could not sense anything.

Not to mention Ye Xiu’s thoughts, even what Ye Xiu’s mood was at the moment, whether good or bad, she could not sense it at all, as if she was just a stone.

Wuqing looked at Ye Xiu with a hint of surprise and even anticipation.

Ye Xiu had no feeling at all when Wuqing tried to use his mind reading skill on him, as the diary completely blocked Wuqing's mind reading skill.

In fact, spiritual abilities or martial arts, such as mind reading, or martial arts like Tao Heart Planting Demon that can change a person's personality, martial arts that manipulate a person's thinking, or even secret techniques that can attack Ye Xiu's spirit and soul, actually have no effect on Ye Xiu at all.

Because the diary itself is compatible with Ye Xiu's spirit or soul, the diary can protect Ye Xiu's soul and prevent it from being directly attacked.

It's just that Ye Xiu didn't know about this kind of thing, that's why Ye Xiu was so afraid when facing Pang Ban's Dao Heart Demon.

Of course, Ye Xiu is not afraid of Pang Ban’s demon species, but that doesn’t mean Ye Xiu can fight against Pang Ban.

After all, as a celestial being, it is a very simple and easy thing for Pang Ban to give up his demon species and kill Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu looked at Wu Qing, but in his heart he was wondering why Wu Qing came to this city gate. Was he waiting for someone? Or was he dealing with something? But he didn't understand why Wu Qing was staring at him.

At the same time, Ye Xiu was wondering whether he should approach Wuqing now.

Ye Xiu also had a good impression of Wuqing, because she was so pretty. Also, because she was the protagonist of the Four Famous Detectives, Ye Xiu, a time traveler, naturally had a good impression of her.

But then Ye Xiu remembered that the purpose of his coming to the capital was to deal with the An family and An Shigeng. If he were to come into contact with Wuqing now, he might be noticed by An Shigeng's people, which might lead to complications.

It would be better not to contact Wuqing for the time being, but to find a way to deal with An Shigeng first, and then go to Shenhou Mansion to get close to Wuqing.

Having made a decision in his heart, Ye Xiu also noticed that Wuqing had withdrawn his gaze from him, so he turned around and left. He planned to find Ruyan to see where she was at the moment. At the same time, he also wanted to see what Ruyan had been doing in the past few days since she returned to the capital, and whether she had taken any action.

As for whether Ruyan would betray him? With the Life and Death Talisman in hand, Ye Xiu was not really afraid of Ruyan betraying him.

After all, the Life and Death Talisman is too terrifying. With Ruyan's personality, she would never dare to betray herself before she figured out how to deal with the Life and Death Talisman.

Chapter 268 Talisman of Life and Death

"Master, you are finally here." Ruyan called out in a delicate voice.

Ye Xiu didn't react at all when hearing Ruyan's deliberate voice, but Ji Yaohua next to Ruyan couldn't help but shiver.

Obviously, Ji Yaohua did not expect that her senior sister would speak in this way.

As for Ruyan calling Ye Xiu "master" - under the threat of the life and death talisman, Ruyan was very happy to call Ye Xiu "master".

"Yeah." Ye Xiu nodded, then turned his gaze to Ji Yaohua who was next to Ruyan.

"Master, this is my junior sister Ji Yaohua. Compared to me, my junior sister is more trusted by An Shigeng, so I brought her over." Ruyan introduced Ji Yaohua.

"She has more trust from An Shigeng? Since she can gain An Shigeng's trust, would she be willing to rebel against An Shigeng?" Ye Xiu knew what the situation was, but some things were hard to explain, so he asked in a pretentious manner.

"Don't worry, Master. Although An Shigeng trusts my junior sister, she really hates his character. If it weren't for the situation, my junior sister would not obey An Shigeng."

"Really?" Ye Xiu looked at Ji Yaohua with suspicion.

"If Master Ye doesn't believe me, you can plant the life and death talisman on me like you did to my senior sister. But I hope that after you deal with An Shigeng, you can remove the life and death talisman for me and my senior sister and give us sisters a way to live." Ji Yaohua lowered her head and said in a heavy tone.

"You actually asked me to plant the Life and Death Talisman for you? Do you know what the Life and Death Talisman is?" Ji Yaohua's words surprised Ye Xiu a little. He didn't expect Ji Yaohua to make such a request.

"I know a little. There are some records about Tianshan Lingjiu Palace inside the Six Gates, including the part about the Life and Death Talisman. The Life and Death Talisman will make life worse than death, and it is difficult for anyone to resist. Tianshan Lingjiu Palace is the one that uses the Life and Death Talisman to control the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands." Ji Yaohua said in a heavy tone.

“Since you know how terrifying the Life and Death Talisman is, why do you still dare to let me plant it on you?” Ye Xiu looked at Ji Yaohua with amusement.

"Because I have no choice!" Ji Yaohua smiled bitterly.

"When my senior sister found me, I knew I had no choice. Although I could tell An Shigeng about my senior sister and Mr. Ye, my senior sister said that you are a grandmaster, and the grandmaster of the An Mansion, An Yunshan, is not in the capital at this time. Although An Shigeng is powerful, he is not a grandmaster and is no match for you at all. If I still stand on An Shigeng's side, the final outcome will be death. I don't want to die!" Ji Yaohua explained seriously.

"It's a wise choice. However, are you really prepared for the fact that the life and death talisman is worse than death? Besides, aren't you worried that I'm the second An Shigeng?"

"...I don't know if Master Ye will be the second An Shigeng, but I can only take a gamble. If I win the bet, it's good. If I lose, it's because my life is in someone else's hands and I have to obey them. It doesn't matter who I obey." Although Ji Yaohua said this.

But in fact, through Ye Xiu's diary, she had some understanding of Ye Xiu's personality and character.

Although it can be seen from Ye Xiu’s diary that Ye Xiu is also a rather lustful guy, but after all, how many men are not lustful?

Although Ye Xiu was lustful, his character was not bad, and he was not a bad guy. Ji Yaohua felt that as long as she didn't do anything bad to Ye Xiu and didn't betray him, Ye Xiu wouldn't really make things difficult for her.

Even based on her understanding of Ye Xiu, she believed that after Ye Xiu solved An Shigeng's problem, there was a great possibility that he would remove the life and death talisman that he had planted.

This is Ji Yaohua’s guess about Ye Xiu’s character.

If she guessed right, it would be good. If she guessed wrong, Ji Yaohua would just have to blame herself for her bad luck. But she couldn't do nothing just because she wasn't sure whether she guessed right or wrong.

Ji Yaohua really wanted to give it a try because she was becoming more and more disgusted with An Shigeng.

An Shigeng is moody, brutal and cruel by nature, and he is like a spoiled child who has never grown up. Ji Yaohua cannot like him no matter what. She even becomes more and more disgusted with An Shigeng because of his coercion.

Compared to An Shigeng, who was moody and seemed to be a pervert, the Ye Xiu in front of her didn't seem to be his real appearance, but at least Ye Xiu didn't have the kind of aura that would make her feel disgusted and resentful.

……

Ye Xiu didn't expect that Ji Yaohua would be lured over by Ruyan to join him.

However, since Ji Yaohua took the initiative to ask to plant the life and death talisman, Ye Xiu would not make any excuses.

As long as it is this life and death talisman, it is like a token of allegiance.

Ye Xiu planting the life and death talisman on Ji Yaohua meant that Ye Xiu accepted Ji Yaohua's surrender. If Ye Xiu did not plant the life and death talisman on Ji Yaohua, it might lead Ji Yaohua to have some different ideas.

After planting the life and death talisman, trust between the two parties will be initially established.

So Ye Xiu didn't hesitate. He just took a little tea from the side, condensed a few tiny pieces of ice, and then put them into Ji Yaohua's body.
