I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

It was an object tightly wrapped in black cloth, about the length of a person, and when Ji Qinglin saw its outline clearly, he immediately recognized that it was a corpse.

Chi Ruogu dragged the corpse down the stairs, put it onto the cart with great difficulty, then returned to the garden and took out a shovel and a roll of straw mat.He placed the shovel alongside the corpse, spread straw mats over them both, and finally went up the steps and closed the garden gate.

After finishing all this, Chi Ruogu went around to the front of the cart and pressed down the driver without further delay, raised the rear of the cart and pulled the cart forward.

Seeing this situation, the young man standing beside Huo Jue asked, "Do you want to follow?"

Huo Jue said: "Stay here and keep watching, I'll go and have a look."

After that, Huo Jue turned around and went downstairs, and followed in the direction Chi Ruogu left.

Huo Jue probably has practiced martial arts for generations, so his movements are nimble and his steps are light. Chi Ruogu is not a martial arts practitioner at all, and he is dragging a carriage at this time, so his steps are unavoidably slow. The pillar concealed his figure, and one side was not far or near behind him, but it didn't show any effort.

After leaving the city, his field of vision suddenly widened, and there were fewer places to hide. Huo Jue had no choice but to extend the distance, and continued to follow under the cover of the sparse trees.

After following for a long time, some messy tombstones and mounds appeared in front of him, which looked like a cemetery. At this time, Chi Ruogu finally stopped, parked the cart on the edge of the cemetery, and picked up the shovel from the car Stepped into the cemetery.

After walking around the cemetery, he seemed to have finally selected an open space and began to shovel, while Huo Jue took advantage of his digging and moved closer, behind an old tree full of dead vines stopped.

Just quietly watching Chi Ruogu dug a deep hole, dropped the shovel and returned to the cart, dragged the corpse and threw it into the hole, then picked up the shovel again and began to fill the soil, Huo Jue finally got out from behind the tree without making a sound. He quickly walked behind Chi Ruogu and grabbed his wrist.

Chi Ruogu trembled, obviously caught off guard, then slowly turned his head to look at Huo Jue, stunned there in shock.

Huo Jue stared at him coldly for a moment, then snatched the shovel from his hand and threw it aside without saying a word, turned around and jumped into the pit, bent over and lifted a corner of the black cloth wrapping the corpse.

A strong smell mixed with rancid smell rushed towards Huo Jue's face, and what appeared in front of Huo Jue was a face that was not impressive but not unfamiliar - the boy who carried the ledger in the canyon.

At this time, his head was slightly tilted to one side, and with this angle, Ji Qinglin caught an extremely familiar small hole in his temple almost instantly.

It really is the art of sealing the soul, Ji Qinglin thought to himself.

However, Huo Jue didn't seem to notice this detail. He just stared at the boy for a moment, then let go of the black cloth and let the black cloth fall again. He turned around and stepped out of the pit, looked at Chi Ruogu and said coldly: "Why did you kill him?"

At this time, Chi Ruogu's face no longer had the original surprise, but was replaced by seriousness and calmness. He glanced at Huo Jue, lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I can explain this matter."

Huo Jue looked at him silently, apparently waiting for him to continue, but unexpectedly he looked up at Huo Jue again, and said unhurriedly: "But before explaining, I want to know one thing—— Why are you following me?"

Hearing this, Ji Qinglin, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help admiring him. You must know that he was caught murdering and throwing away corpses, but not only did he not lose his composure, but he even beat him up calmly, which is really unbelievable. What should be the evaluation.

However, Chi Ruogu's question hit Ji Qinglin's heart, because he was also very curious about why Huo Jue would suddenly start spying on Chi Ruogu.

Huo Jue's temperament is rigid and straightforward, which can be seen from his words and deeds in Maitianguan in his first life. Hearing Chi Ruogu's retort question at this time, he did not hesitate at all, and said bluntly: "The one you brought to the valley before One of them looks quite similar to a member of my Huo family army back then. I saw that he had a kind face, so I casually asked his name, his name, and his position in your Jiyuan Hall, but it was just such a simple two The question, but he flickered and hesitated, and it took a long time to hold back an answer."

"Just because of this, you started to doubt me?" Chi Ruogu seemed a little unbelievable.

"No," Huo Jue denied, "At that time, I thought he was cowardly and not good at talking, so I didn't ask any more questions. However, he said that his name was Tan Wen, and he was a clerk at the Jiangzhou branch. When I passed by Jiangzhou Jiyuan Hall and asked about the name, they told me that there had never been such a person there.”

"So what?" Chi Ruogu said, "Maybe he just got the wrong answer in a panic?"

Huo Jue nodded slowly and said: "It's not impossible, so even though I had doubts at the time, I didn't rush to draw a conclusion, but I asked and verified every time I went back to the valley to report on my work, and finally The conclusion is that none of the people you brought are telling the truth."

Chi Ruogu didn't refute anymore, Huo Jue continued: "So after leaving the valley this time, I followed you all the way, just to see where the person you brought this time will end up going, but I didn't expect you to bring him back After arriving in Yuzhou and bringing him into Lingfang Garden, what's more, you actually killed him."

Chi Ruogu was silent for a while, and finally sighed softly: "Since you have already found out, I won't hide it from you, but the explanation of this matter is quite complicated, why don't you wait for us to return..."

"Just say it here." Huo Jue interrupted.

Chi Ruogu was startled, but he didn't insist anymore, he just looked down at the corpse in the pit, and discussed: "Then at least let me fill in the soil first, so that he can rest in peace, that's okay, right?"

"Peace in the ground?" Huo Jue sneered angrily at his words, "You killed him, and you still expect him to be in the ground?"

Chi Ruogu didn't get angry because of his sarcasm, but comforted him very patiently: "Don't rush to convict me, if you still think my crime is unforgivable after I explain it, then I will let you deal with it. "

Hearing what he said, Huo Jue obviously hesitated for a moment, then stepped on the tip of the shovel, lifted it up and held it in his hand and said, "I'll fill in the soil, you'd better think about how to justify yourself later. "

Seeing that Huo Jue finally gave in, Chi Ruogu said "thank you" and then stepped aside graciously, standing obediently with his hands clasped in front of him, waiting for him.

In fact, not to mention Huo Jue, even Ji Qinglin was very curious about how he would explain it later, if he could really explain clearly the purpose of bringing the Soul Sealer back to the valley, then this memory would not be in vain.

Huo Jue's movements were very nimble. After a dusty meal, the pit was gradually filled, and a small hill was raised. Except that there were no weeds on it, it was no different from the surrounding wild graves.

Huo Jue threw away the shovel in his hand, patted the dust on his palm and said, "Okay, let's talk."

Chi Ruogu nodded, but sighed as if he was very embarrassed: "It's really a long story..."

Huo Jue gave him a cold look, lifted his clothes and sat down on the freshly piled mound, raised his head and said, "I have a lot of time."

Chi Ruogu looked around at the messy grave mounds around him, and resentfully said, "Do you have to say it here?"

Huo Jueding looked at him, obviously he didn't want to entangle with him on this issue anymore, Chi Ruogu had no choice but to nod and said: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it here."

He took a deep breath, and finally said: "This matter has to start when the god is here."

Huo Jue probably didn't expect the beginning to be so long ago, so he couldn't help frowning, Chi Ruogu glanced at him, and continued: "There is a kind of spiritual light on the God Venerable, and only he and I can see that thing. Even the ancestors couldn’t see it, how many of you know about it?”

Ji Qinglin, who heard this through Huo Jue's ears, was slightly taken aback, and then remembered that there was indeed such a passage in Zhong Zangchan's memory, that the aura on the body of the Shui Jing God was invisible to others, and even the God himself could only be in the The aura can only be seen in the mirror or in the reflection in the water, but Chi Ruogu, who had just been rescued from the country of Qi at that time, explained it clearly.

Seeing Huo Jue nodded, Chi Ruogu continued: "The aura is caused by the spiritual energy offering, and the source of the spiritual energy of the god is the jade pendant on his waist, which is the carp that we are now remembering."

Huo Jue seemed a little impatient, and said forcefully, "Just tell me what I don't know."

Chi Ruogu was so choked by him that he lost his temper, blinked his eyes and nodded and said: "The aura on the god's body was very conspicuous at first, which was due to the abundance of aura. After he passed the jade pendant to Xianzun, the aura on Xianzun's body also In the following decades, although the aura has faded, it is not significant. However, after using the jade pendant to save us a memory, the aura on Xianzun's body suddenly faded, and it seemed that it was almost gone."

"You mean..." Huo Jue tried to conclude, "It will take a lot of spiritual energy to store our memories?"

"It's not just a waste," Chi Ruogu said, "The aura in the decades before Cunyi only faded slowly, but immediately after Cunyi it was so weak, it shows that if the aura in the jade pendant is only used to support one person, it can last for a long time , and if it is used to store memory, it will be consumed violently."

As Huo Jue wished, Chi Ruogu really said what he didn't know, but at this moment he seemed a little unsure how to react, and after a long silence, he asked, "What does this have to do with your murder?"

Seeing that he was still holding on to this question, Chi Ruogu said patiently although he was helpless: "Don't worry, if I don't explain the cause clearly, I can't explain it at all. Listen to me first. .”

After all, he continued what he said just now: "After discovering that the aura is weak, I have actually secretly prepared in my heart that I will not be able to remember it in the next life, and the reason why I didn't tell you is because this matter seems impossible at all. Solve it, telling you is just adding trouble.”

Hearing what he said, Huo Jue seemed to realize something, frowned and said: "But now we have remembered more than once."

"Yes," Chi Ruogu said, "Because I found a way to add aura to the jade pendant before the second memory."

As soon as these words came out, Huo Jue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the mound behind him, squinted his eyes and said: "Could it be that this method of filling has something to do with your murder?"

"Wait," Chi Ruogu raised his hand to defend, "I have to correct you first, he wasn't killed by me, but he was going to die."

Huo Jue looked at him suspiciously, apparently he didn't really believe this statement, but Chi Ruogu didn't care, and asked himself: "Have you heard of 'Return to the Light'?"

Huo Jue was a little puzzled by his question, but he still nodded and said, "I've heard it a little bit."

Chi Ruogu said: "After the first memory, Four Seasons Valley was first built. We opened Yuxinglu, Jiyuantang and Huanji Pavilion with the profit of Yunyanxiu Mansion, and expanded the industry in a few years. When Jiyuantang was about to open a branch again, I invited my ancestors to come to Yuzhou to discuss the location of the new shop, and at that time a critically ill person came to my garden for medical treatment."

"At that time, my ancestor said that saving people was the most important thing, and I was asked to treat that person first. Unexpectedly, when I was carrying the man's cot past the house, I found that the jade pendant on my waist suddenly flickered, and then , the aura on his body is a little brighter than before."

Huo Jue probably never expected that "Back to Light" was such a "photo" method, he was stunned for a moment, and after a long pause, he said: "Where is the ancestor? He didn't notice it?"
