Meet the moon again

Chapter 53

At the same time, Qi Lin's spiritual consciousness was pulled into another world.The pain in his chest was still there, but it had changed from the overwhelming pain before to a dull stabbing pain, which was not unbearable.

His sight dropped a few inches, still in the form of a cat, and they didn't know where they went, leaving him alone to hide by the bushes.

The flames on the high platform are still rising upwards, and even have the momentum of spreading outwards and downwards.The flames dyed half of the sky red, and the leaves were all warmly lit.

Shang Yao's whole body seemed to be engulfed by fire.Qi Lin raised his head, his gaze touched her eyes, and he was slightly startled.The demonic energy that had drifted away poured into her body, and the priest who was thrown down staggered to his feet, his greedy eyes scanning her body.The villagers still knelt on the ground motionless, singing piously, as if standing on the high platform was some saint who saved them from the fire and water, not Shang Yao who was bullied by them day and night.

The blood outside the wounds caused by those short nails had long since solidified, like a stain, lingering on her clothes.

Shang Yao turned his head, raised his eyelids, looked at the villagers in the audience with a sleepy expression, touched his upper and lower lips, and uttered a tiny syllable.

She said, "Why."

Her heart was already submerged in the torrential demonic energy just now, and she couldn't see anything except a bright red in front of her eyes.Shang Yao jumped straight down from the high platform, and Shang Lu's body was carried behind her, and both of his clothes were burnt to pieces by the fire.

The priest waved his hand and placed the scepter in front of her, blocking her way.The next moment, his men moved again, sweeping it across Shang Yao's chest.

Shang Yao stepped back quickly, and the priest's hand was tilted again. Every time he moved, the scepter could barely hit the palm of her foot.

Shang Yao was forced to retreat under the high platform, she dodged around a wooden post, and stepped on the other sideways.

The priest followed closely.However, Shang Yao has only just become a demon, even if he is born with a demon body, he is no match for a priest who has practiced for many years.The latter stabbed and swept her hand, and the scepter in his hand hit her ankle hard, Shang Yao's feet were empty, and he fell straight down from the high platform.

The moment she landed, she probably thought that there was a corpse of Phytolacca on her back, so she turned around quickly and put herself underneath.

This time, those villagers finally opened their eyes, moved back a few inches suspiciously, and distanced themselves from them.

"High Priest, this..." Someone shrank and shouted.

"The evil spirit in Shang Yao's body has not been eliminated, nothing happened."

Shang Yao wiped away the blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, guessing that his ribs were probably broken.But after the previous torture, she has long been unable to feel any other pain.

She wanted to get up again, but she didn't want the priest to be faster than him.The blade on the top of his scepter was embedded in Shang Lu's body, and he swept it mercilessly aside, throwing it on the wooden post behind him, and then the scepter was quickly withdrawn from his body, and hit Shang Yao's face again.

There were words in his mouth, but Shang Yao couldn't hear anything else.

There was a pain in Qi Lin's chest and abdomen, it was sore and swollen, and there was also a pain like a needle prick.It's like someone suddenly lost a piece, lost something important, and can't find it again.

"15 years... I have never done anything wrong." She said angrily, the fire reflected in her eyes, dyeing those almond eyes bright red.

A gust of wind blew up on the flat ground, and the devilish energy that had flowed into Shang Yao's body earlier came out from her hands like a madman.Her hand grabbed the oncoming blade, and the blade dug into her flesh, and the sticky blood dripped into the loess, gradually annihilated.

With a soft sound, she snapped off the white blade sharply, and with a heavy foot, she jumped backwards, kicked the priest's lower abdomen, and flipped him over the crossed wood behind him.She carried the broken blade, and the overflowing devilish energy hit the priest's chest, forcing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, which soaked his already dark red clothes.

Qi Lin heard the sound of a knife piercing his flesh.Shang Yao let go, and staggered back to the side.She wiped her bloody hands on her body and felt that they were almost clean before she pulled Phytolacca's arm.The man's stature was much taller than hers, and when he was carrying it just now, it seemed as if he was going to cover him, but looking at it now, it was even more ridiculous.

Shang Yao half hugged and half dragged Shang Lu through the crowd, turning a blind eye to their expressions of fear or anger.

At this moment, Qi Lin didn't know why he suddenly called out, and directly attracted her gaze.

Shang Yao glanced at the bush where he was in surprise, then turned stiffly, and walked towards him slowly.She leaned over to grab his belly, her voice was tired, but also a little gentle, she said, "I'll take you outside to have a look, okay?"

Qi Lin let out a "meow".Shang Yao pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth, and under the gaze of everyone, he disappeared into the woods and gradually disappeared.

The trapped bird finally broke free from the cage, climbed over the mountain, and flew to the world.

Qi Lin saw the lush and green mountains and forests in southern Xinjiang and the wind and sand in the desert. He watched Shang Yao walk through the snow in the north and the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.The past, like a revolving lantern, flashed through his mind in a hurry, and finally the memory stopped at a hill, and Shang Yao, who had a mature face, dodged behind a boulder with him in his arms, sneered, and didn't know whether it was because of himself Talking to himself, he was still saying to him: "I should have stabbed him a few more times back then."

"You and I are going to die today, why not..." She raised her hand, only then did Qi Linfang notice that her fingers were bloody and bloody, and she couldn't see the original appearance.She pressed that hand to her abdomen, inserted it forcefully, and dug out a golden pill that was no more than one knuckle wide.

"This thing is for you to eat, I won't give it to him." Shang Yao's free hand pinched his cheeks, stuffed the golden pill into his mouth, and forced him to swallow down.

Looking at it from Qi Lin's current perspective, an untimely thought came to him involuntarily.He was lucky not to be choked to death by this golden inner pill back then.

Shang Yao coughed a few times, and Qi Lin felt her trembling weakly.He whimpered softly, trying to lick the blood on Shang Yao's forehead, but she pushed him into the narrow gap under the boulder.

He heard her say the last words—

"The only regret in my life is probably that I didn't hear Shanglu say 'like' to me."

In the decades since they left the village, they have traveled to many places and met many different people.Shang Yao always leaves in a hurry and never stays in one place for too long.At first, it was thought that it was the uneasiness brought about by her upbringing that made her unable to settle down and relocate.It was only later that I found out that she had been looking for someone for so many years.

She believes in the theory of reincarnation in the world, and firmly believes that she will be able to find the reincarnation of Shanglu.No matter what it is, this time she wants to protect him.

Unfortunately, she has not waited for that day.

Under the cracks in the stones was a steep path, and the rough stones scratched the ground, causing pain. He did not know how long he rolled on the stone path until his back hit a cold stone slab, causing him to fall into a coma as a whole cat.

Qi Lin remembered what happened next.

"At first I thought that it would be fine if I died. Maybe I could wait in the underworld for a while, maybe I might meet you. But when I opened my eyes, what I saw was a familiar house, and those ...someone I've long since forgotten."

Qi Lin trembled his eyelashes, and slowly opened his eyes.He followed the sound and looked, seeing a vast ocean.He sat paralyzed in the water, his body had already turned into a human appearance, and Shang Yao was sitting beside him, looking at him jokingly with his head propped up.

"I never thought that you would look like this when you transformed into a human." The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, showing a beautiful arc.Shang Yao still maintained the appearance when he died, and compared with what they saw outside, he added a bit more ostentatious beauty.

Qi Lin met her gaze and didn't know what to respond for a moment.The person in front of him has raised him for decades, so there is no need to talk about the relationship, but after all, he has long forgotten those memories, and as soon as he finds them back, he really doesn't know how to face her, not to mention that Shang Yao must be used to seeing her. Knowing that his original shape is a playful and cute appearance, thinking about it makes him feel embarrassing.

Shang Yao didn't mind, so he continued on his own: "I thought at the time, no matter how you say it, you should be like Shang Lu. You were transformed by my inner alchemy, so you should grow according to my preferences. Bar."

"That's really sorry..."

Shang Yao smiled softly, "I thought you were going to ignore me all the time and let me talk on my own."

Qi Lin blinked, but still didn't know how to reply.In the past years of getting along with Shang Yao, they were indeed in this mode. Shang Yao talked to himself alone, and he occasionally meowed a few times to announce his existence.But he is a person now, so he can't just "meow" in response.

"You...why are you here?" Qi Lin asked.

"I was supposed to return to heaven and earth, but who would have thought that Shang Xingyun captured a touch of my soul and imprisoned me in."

"Who is Shangxingyun?"

Shang Yao glanced at him, and said helplessly, "It's the high priest. We never call him by his first name, it's normal if you don't know."

"After I left that year, he slaughtered all the people in the village and made that painting, which is probably similar to the ground binding spirit mentioned outside. We can only repeat the past ten years over and over again. Can't escape." Shang Yao continued.

Qi Lin asked again: "Can't you escape too?"

"Little white-eyed wolf, I gave you the inner alchemy, how do you want to escape?" Shang Yao greeted him on the head, the force was not heavy, but still pushed the unsuspecting Qi Lin forward a little .

"It was you who asked me to go to Nanlin earlier, and you were the one who guided us to see that deep pit... At that time, you clearly still had..."

"It's too weak. The point you see is my last spiritual power. I've been saving it for a long time—I don't have much time, so let's finish talking quickly, otherwise those people outside will also have to wait impatiently." That's right—that year he used your mother to sacrifice to the mountain lord, in order to lure him out and eat his flesh and blood to enjoy eternal life."

"But he failed. So he started to turn to another formation, which is the pit you saw. But that formation can't really make him immortal, it can only hang his breath. Until he saw I."

"I don't know how he learned about it. He thinks that the inner alchemy of the innate demon body can make him live forever. If this thing is really useful, I may not maintain my appearance when I was 15 years old... But let's not mention these for now I was besieged by Xianmen that year, and half of it was his credit, but I transferred the inner alchemy to you at the last moment—"

Qi Lin said coolly: "He has done so much because he wants my inner alchemy."
