Chapter 176 Epilogue

Xue Moci obviously didn't expect this possibility. She froze and seemed to be about to faint. She murmured: "The soul is gone...how could it be..."

Her face was full of tears, and she was crying like a mess.

"I don't believe it, grandma, how can you make me believe it now..."

"She's right." Lu Huaiyuan said in a deep voice, "If it's just because he has contacts with you, the crime is not justified, just ask him to make a choice between the sect and you, since it's time to hunt With this step of yours, presumably the conflict has intensified to such an extent that even if he quits the sect, it cannot be resolved... or he is the future heir to the sect, which is very important to the sect, so the best choice is to completely annihilate you , since this is the case, there is no need to hold back anything, he must know this, so he will try his best to protect you."

"I don't know..." Xue Moci sat down in a daze, "I don't know it's like this..."

"If it were me, if I really felt that the so-called 'demon girl' was hard to give up, then I would give up any reputation or family background. If I betrayed the sect, I could get a lifelong friendship with my beloved. Then it doesn't matter if you don't practice this way." Lu Huaiyuan said, "Since he escaped with you, but you were still hunted down, it must not be because he refused to give up the sect, but because the sect refused to give up on him...he kept it a secret You, you refuse to tell you his real name, probably because of this, because he is not some ordinary little disciple, but a very important person to his sect."

"Stop talking!" Xue Moci covered her ears, refusing to listen to Lu Huaiyuan's words, "Stop talking!"

She risked everything for something that was impossible to come to fruition, for a person she would never see again, costing countless lives. Up to now, everything has been irreversible. The gap between yin and yang was torn—the gap between yin and yang will heal itself when the remaining power of Jiao Jiao is completely dissipated, but now the things in the underworld are trying to take the opportunity to escape, even with the help of Granny Dongzhu, they can’t last long of.

Even with the blessing of the power of Jiao, the formation to communicate yin and yang needs to be arranged in advance. Although she has set up restrictions around Taihu Lake in advance to prevent outsiders from disturbing, it cannot last long.With her current state, it probably won't be long before the restriction will break by itself.

Now on the Taihu Lake, there are only a few of them left, the old, the weak, the comatose and the comatose, almost unable to recover.When the restriction was completely broken, the ghosts attacked the world, and the monks who were able to recover them from all over the Kyushu were unaware of it.

The heinous crime was committed by her, but she was helpless at this moment.

"Girl..." Granny Dongzhu stumbled to her side, knelt down to support her, "The soul puppets can last at most one more cup of tea, when the time comes..."

"No...don't..." Xue Moci shook her head desperately.Manipulating the soul puppet is not a small loss to Granny Dongzhu—she is too old to be able to stand up to those young people, so the last time it was enough for Granny Dongzhu to scratch her skin, she herself is not willing to do this of.

Granny Dongzhu forcibly stroked her back, trying to comfort her: "I put down the blood and forcibly arouse the power of those wandering souls, which can probably stop those ghosts for a moment. I don't know who will go first, you or me. It's my wife, I probably can't protect you any longer... how long can this crack last?"

The crack was forcibly torn open by the power of Jiao Jiao. Xue Moci, the 98 souls, was difficult to maintain at first, so he just learned the method of manipulation from Grandma Dongzhu. Lu Huaiyuan was willing to cooperate.

As long as you stop those ghostly things with all your strength before the crack disappears.If there is anyone here who still has the power to fight, it is Lu Huaiyuan.

Xue Moci's eyes wandered to Lu Huaiyuan, and he couldn't help feeling desperate.She knew that Lu Huaiyuan hated her, and after the Qianfengjian incident, she had her eye on these two youths from Qing Yunzong. For them, it might be the greatest misfortune in their life.

In the final analysis, all of this has nothing to do with them, but they were just dragged into the center of the vortex.Xue Moci killed Lu Huaiyuan's master and separated him from his senior brother. Now that Shen Huaiyu is still unconscious, Lu Huaiyuan doesn't hate her enough, so how could he be willing to help her?

Unexpectedly, Lu Huaiyuan looked at her calmly for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Xue Moci looked at him in surprise.

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at the cabin with some nostalgia, probably worried about Shen Huaiyu who was in a coma, and said: "It's not for helping you, it's for the people of the world."

He lowered his voice half a minute, and added: "...and my Huaiyu."

Xue Moci was already ready to die, and Grandma Dongzhu had lived her entire life, but he was different.

He was supposed to spend the best years of his life without any worries, but he was forced to go through all the inappropriate and inappropriate experiences. If he was a weaker person, he would probably have been under such pressure for a long time. Looking for death, Lu Huaiyuan has been holding on.

He unconsciously pursed his lower lip, thinking that he should probably "be bright".

"I..." As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice had become very hoarse due to nervousness, so he hurriedly cleared his throat, "Although I don't think I have the ability to counteract those ghostly things, I have other Method."

"...What way?" Xue Moci asked.

"Formation." Lu Huaiyuan said.

"It won't work," Granny Dongzhu said, "These ghostly creatures are not easy to deal with. Mo Ci used 98 male souls, but he can only barely stop them. What kind of formation can you use alone?"

"You just need to suppress them until the power of Jiao Jiao is completely dissipated," Lu Huaiyuan said, "Maybe you can try."

As soon as he raised his hand, a ball of warm light appeared on his hand, saying: "This is the inheritance of Qing Yunzong. In the inheritance, there is the power left by the sages. I am the suzerain now and can use it."

Granny Dongzhu was extremely shocked: "You don't care about the sect anymore?"

"Of course it doesn't mean that," Lu Huaiyuan said, "I want to set up a formation. This formation is different from common sword formations, but formed with the power of 'words'. Just write what should be written in the corresponding position 'Words' can take effect and consume very little skill, but because it is too complicated and obscure, it is actually not as easy as forming a sword."

"This is a formation handed down from ancient times...how do you..." Granny Dongzhu murmured, "Qing Yunzong...it's really scary..."

Lu Huaiyuan forced a smile: "Since I have inherited the position of suzerain, I can't just enjoy the benefits of 'inheritance'. After all, I have to do something for Qing Yunzong. I have carefully studied what the mountain protection restriction is, but it turned out that I really found the source by mistake."

"This formation is just one layer. I have studied it for a while, and I can only be regarded as a hasty entry." Lu Huaiyuan said again, "This is the only way right now, so I have to try it. Writing these ancient characters by one person is not enough. It's not easy, I need to use the power of inheritance to help me. During the time when I am setting up the formation, I also ask the two of you to buy some time for me."

There was no time for them to hesitate, Xue Moci and Granny Dongzhu looked at each other and nodded.The two supported each other to stand up, Granny Dongzhu pulled out a hairpin from her neatly combed white hair, and pricked her fingertip with a small needle hidden in it.

She used her bloody fingertips to write a spell in the air out of thin air, and after a few clicks, the bloody spell turned into powder and dissipated.The wandering souls who were originally in the crack seemed to be stimulated for a moment, and they became more energetic, and vigorously attacked the ghostly thing in the crack that was constantly trying to escape.

Lu Huaiyuan glanced at the situation in the sky, took out the saber from the sheath, stroked the crooked word "Huaiyu" on the hilt with his fingers, and glanced at the cabin before starting to work.

The "inheritance" floating in front of him before exuded a warm white light, and with a thought in Lu Huaiyuan's mind, he pulled the "inheritance" onto his sword. "Inheritance" fell lightly on his sword, like a piece of falling snow—for an instant, the sword in Lu Huaiyuan's hand shone brightly, and the whole sword carried that kind of gentle power.

The sword with the power of "inheritance" was hanging downwards on the lake. With a serious expression, Lu Huaiyuan held the sword and flew out with his thoughts. With the boat as the center, he drew a huge circle on the lake. Immediately afterwards, starting from the periphery, some obscure words glowing with a faint golden light were left line by line in the air.

This formation should have been written with a pen, but it is not convenient right now. Lu Huaiyuan also had a whim and thought of writing with a sword instead of a pen.This formation is so complicated, if he alone writes it with a pen, he will probably have to write it for two months without sleep, but with the help of the power of inheritance, the time can be greatly shortened.

Lu Huaiyuan's saber revolved around them, and the pale gold characters were also written line by line.There was fine sweat on his forehead, and he was concentrating on it - as long as there is a wrong character, the formation will not be able to play its original role. Right now, he does not have the time and energy to write such a complicated formation a second time, so he decided There can be no gaps.

Granny Dongzhu's complexion was pale, and Xue Moci couldn't be any better.They were completely powerless to fight anymore, the two looked at the wandering spirits in the air who were still attacking, and at Lu Huaiyuan who was seriously writing the formation, they could only pray silently.

Xue Moci could no longer stand still, so she lay down without entering the cabin, Grandma Dongzhu knelt down, and Xue Moci just lay on her lap, quietly feeling the passage of life.

It won't be long before the restriction she left outside the Taihu Lake will be broken. If the power of Jiao Jiao has not been eliminated, the world will be greeted with chaos that day.

"Grandma..." She said in a low voice, because she lacked strength, she couldn't even speak intermittently, "...I'm sorry."

Granny Dongzhu touched her face, and tears dripped down on Xue Moci's body: "Silly boy."

Lu Huaiyuan let out a muffled snort, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Jiao Jiao's power was about to dissipate, and those ghostly creatures seemed to be aware of it, and fled desperately.The wandering spirits driven by Grandma Dongzhu had no time to stop them, so they ran out one by one, and the ghost thing that ran out also understood what Lu Huaiyuan was doing, so they rushed towards him.Lu Huaiyuan was writing "words" and couldn't be distracted. It can be said that he suffered this firmly.

A wisp of wandering spirit in the air rushed down, smashed the ghostly thing, and disappeared in a wisp of green smoke.

Lu Huaiyuan's brows were tightly furrowed, and sweat continued to flow from his forehead. He closed his eyes tightly and continued to write with full concentration.The saber turned around again, getting a little closer to the center.

"Hurry up," Lu Huaiyuan said silently in his heart, "Hurry up."

Although this complex ancient formation requires less consumption, it is also very difficult for one person to write such a large formation, but Lu Huaiyuan still gritted his teeth.

The surface of the lake is like a huge white paper, let him write on it with the tip of his sword, every stroke is a golden hook and iron stroke, and the flowing handwriting gradually fills a big circle with him as the center, and it is about to approach the eye of the formation.

Xue Moci's body gradually cooled on Granny Dongzhu's lap.Granny Dongzhu tidied her hair and watched Lu Huaiyuan complete his formation bit by bit.

The broken boat where she lived for many years has now become the center of the vast lake, and in the most central cabin, there is still a sleeping Shen Huaiyu.

Lu Huaiyuan's last stroke fell, and the formation was completed, emitting a scorching light, shining upwards, like a cage made of golden light.He let out a long breath, finally opened his eyes, and looked towards the sky.In the cage was the crack that hadn't completely disappeared, followed by another flash of light, the crack disappeared together with the formation.

The clouds cleared and it was dawn.

Lu Huaiyuan couldn't remember how he dragged Shen Huaiyu back from the boat and carried him back to the small courtyard Hua Jin arranged for them.

What happened to them on Taihu Lake is unknown to the outside world.Although the movement was huge, it was concealed by Xue Moci and Granny Dongzhu's cover-up. Hua Jin didn't come over to take a look at them until two days later, but she was taken aback.

Shen Huaiyu was still in a coma, but Lu Huaiyuan was awake, with two dark circles under his eyes, making Hua Jin at a loss for a while.

Shen Huaiyu didn't wake up for two days, and Lu Huaiyuan didn't sleep for two days.

Hua Jin hastily arranged for a servant to take over Lu Huaiyuan's care of Shen Huaiyu and let him rest.

Lu Huaiyuan originally thought that he would have to wait for a long time this time, and he was ready to wait for Shen Huaiyu for ten or twenty years. Unexpectedly, Shen Huaiyu woke up three days later.

After he woke up, Lu Huaiyuan did not rush back to Qing Yunzong, but continued to live in Jiangnan for a period of recuperation.It is said that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and now they can put down a big rock in their hearts and take a serious tour.Shen Huaiyu told Lu Huaiyuan that he could more or less perceive what happened after he was unconscious, as if his soul was locked in his body.He was terribly worried, struggling desperately, and finally woke up.

After recuperating for a while, the two bid farewell to Hua Jin and returned to Qing Yunzong.At first, Zhang Xinglan didn't know what they were doing after they went out for so long. After hearing Lu Huaiyuan's retelling, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. Before he had time to train his children, he was knocked out by another big news—— Sect Master Lu decided to go out for a tour, of course, with his senior brother.

Zhang Xinglan's beard is almost crooked, and Qing Yunzong doesn't know what's wrong, the sect master is good everywhere, but he doesn't stay at home, and always likes to run around outside, what kind of talk is this!

Lu Huaiyuan just dropped a sentence lightly: "Anyway, there is nothing serious in Zongli. If there is something wrong, I will contact you later."

So the two went down the mountain again.

Shen Huaiyu felt that the patriarch Qingyunzong's bad habit of being homeless probably came from his childhood. Qingyunzong was very strict with the young disciples. At that time, they would secretly walk out if they wanted to go down the mountain. When they were young, they were too strict. Big ones always have to work harder to get it back.

They first followed in the footsteps of their old friend, paid homage all the way, and the last one went to Qingmei Mountain. After leaving there, they went north to Saibei.

There is also snow on Qingyun Mountain, but it is not as beautiful as the snow in Saibei. There is only a thin layer of snow in Qingyun Mountain, but it does not have the feeling of jade trees and Qiongzhi in Saibei, and the world is white.

One night, the owner of the inn was dozing off when he heard someone knocking on the door.He hurried to open the door, and saw two young men standing outside the door, one with delicate features and gentle demeanor, the other was much stronger and very handsome.

Both of them were wearing crane cloaks, with a thin layer of falling snow on their shoulders.The one who looked more aggressive took out some silver coins from his purse, and said: "One upper room, boil a pot of wine, and bring it up with hot water in a while."

The one in the back looked at the boss's careful look, smiled, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, please take care of me."

The innkeeper weighed the broken silver, said "hey", and led them upstairs.

The brazier in the room was heating up, and after drinking a pot of wine, it was hot from the inside to the outside.The two chatted for a while, then rolled on the bed again, and after a lot of tossing, they finally calmed down.

Lu Huaiyuan brushed away Shen Huaiyu's sweaty forehead, kissed him, and said, "I saw the snow, when will I go back?"

Shen Huaiyu glanced at him and smiled: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?"

"Brother," Lu Huaiyuan leaned closer to his ear, bit his earlobe, "I haven't practiced swords for a long time, don't let it go to waste, right?"

Shen Huaiyu hid with a smile: "Don't make trouble, itchy. I haven't asked you yet, why did you break through the sword so quickly? We have only been away from Qing Yunzong for half a year, and we still have learned the Frightening Sword... I, I think I can't catch up with you, it's really enviable..."

"I didn't understand some things until later," Lu Huaiyuan lay back, Huaiyu, startled by the 'love sword'. "

Shen Huaiyu was puzzled: "What?"

"People in the world always say that cultivating the Dao requires a pure mind and few desires, and the six senses are pure. This is true. After all, only in this way can one specialize in the way of swordsmanship," Lu Huaiyuan said, "but the shock is different. It is 'sentimental'. If you want to follow the original method Xiu, it’s the opposite, I’m afraid I won’t be able to comprehend it for the rest of my life.”

"Oh?" Shen Huaiyu looked curious, "This is the first time I've heard of this."

"That's..." Lu Huaiyuan smiled, "But it doesn't really matter whether you can master this last move."

They just received a letter from Qing Yunzong some time ago, and the letter briefly talked about Qing Yunzong's current situation.Ye Qinqin's progress was steady, and Ding Xian's family came to the mountain and wanted to pick him up, but the old boy justly refused, and vowed to live on Qingyun Mountain for the rest of his life.

What Lu Huaiyuan said is right, life is so stable, what else can we ask for?They just need to spend the rest of their lives in peace and stability.

He turned over, took the initiative to peck at Lu Huaiyuan's place, and said: "Then go back in two or three days, I miss Qingyun Mountain a little too."

The mountains and rivers are far away, and they still have a lot of time to walk together.
