From the Zizai Palace to the Wangqing Palace, you need to go through a section of potholed path to reach the circular open space in the center of Juexian Valley, and then go west along the main road from the open space, passing the sleeping hall of Tiangui Laodao, the Taishang Wangqing Monument, and a In the misty burial place, these buildings are connected by a long canyon.

Wangqing Palace is a very special building in the valley, which echoes the Wangqing Monument of Taishang. The latter is located in the middle of Juexian Valley, while the former is located in the deepest part of Juexian Valley. The two are on the same central axis.

Only Tiangui Laodao and Duanyue have entered Wangqing Palace.

Because it is located in the deepest part of the valley, the miasma surrounding Wangqing Palace is thicker than outside. The towering buildings like Lanruo Tower stand at the end of the road. There are many shadows of trees along the way, and there is mist like veil. In short, the outline of the pagoda hall is looming, which is extremely cold and mysterious.

Seeing it, Yeluo swept away her previous unhappiness, and couldn't help pestering Duanyue to ask, "Sister, sister, what is that? What's it like inside? Who are we going to resurrect?"

Duanyue just kept silent and didn't answer, but Yi Qingchen could roughly guess who was enshrined in the hall.

The heavy door burst open, and the dust swirled on the ground. The layout of the hall was also hexagonal like a pagoda. The walls were made of stone, and there was no open fire, only green night pearls. Therefore, it looked colder and quieter. With a coffin on it, Yeluo asked curiously, "Isn't this the coffin we buried all over the Central Plains..." She wanted to go up to have a look, but was stopped by Duanyue, "Yeluo , don't move around."

Yeluo didn't know why, and was just about to ask, when she saw a mouse crawling over the beam, she tugged on Jiang Jiuqu's sleeve and said, "Hey, bitch, help me shoot that mouse down."

Jiang Jiuqu avoided Yeluo with some disgust, "You monster, who are you calling a bitch?"

Yeluo didn't want to argue with Jiang Jiuqu, "I'm a monster, I'm a monster, hurry up, the mouse has to run away."

Jiang Jiuqu threw the water sleeve and knocked the mouse off the beam, and landed on a coffin. After a short while, the coffin removed the lid by itself, and a black hand that was faintly visible, as if the breath had changed, protruded from it. Caught the mouse that was still struggling, and then there was no more.

Yeluo stared dumbfounded, "What is this thing...why wasn't there such a thing in the coffin I buried in Shilin Village?"

Seeing this, the national teacher said quietly, "The method of offering souls is to feed the evil souls born on a specific day, and offer them with living beings. They will extract the power of the living beings and convey them to the mother who needs to be nurtured through the coffin... ..." As he spoke, his eyes followed the chains linking the coffin to the thickest pillar in the center of the tower.

The more Yi Qingchen looked at the building, the more familiar it became, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it. Seeing Tiangui Laodao going up the stairs to the second floor, he wanted to follow.Murong Qian let go of the wheelchair, and wanted to lean over to hug Yi Qingchen, but a figure suddenly stopped in front of Murong Qian, Yi Qingchen raised his eyes to look, and met Hua Shenchi's gaze.

Murong Qian took a step back with a complicated expression, and questioned, "Can you hug me?"

Hua Shenchi ignored Murong Qian, only stretched out his hand to explore the broken bone of Tanyi Qingchen, and asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt during the journey?"

Yi Qingchen wanted to shake his head subconsciously, but when he thought of Hua Shenchi's previous reaction, he struggled for a moment, and said truthfully, "It hurts."

Hua Shenchi sighed silently, turned around, and told Murong Qiandao, "When you pick him up, be gentle."

First floor, second floor, third floor...

There are six coffins for souls on each floor.

When they reached the ninth floor, Tiangui Laodao finally stopped. The rooms on this floor were arranged like a ancestral temple. There are layers of tablets, no one is enshrined.In the center of the room stood a very ornate lacquered-bottomed coffin, on which strange totems were painted in red paint.

The old way of Tiangui led the crowd forward and gathered around the coffin. They saw a layer of flowers inside the coffin. On the flowers lay a woman in her twenties. The woman's eyes were closed, as if she was in a deep sleep. It's no different, fingers are crossed on the abdomen, the appearance is not gorgeous, but the temperament is quite elegant, Yi Qingchen took a closer look, and felt a little familiar.

This mouth, this jaw, he must have seen it somewhere.

where......

The old Taoist Tiangui remained silent, but the guardians on the side were quite shocked. Jiang Jiuqu said clearly, "This is the rumored wife of the leader?"

Yeluo was a little envious, "Is it really dead? It's so well preserved..."

Duanyue stared at the woman's face with complicated eyes, and remained silent. The national teacher also stared very closely, but did not show any expression. Monk Wuliang said "Amitabha", and continued to recite his scriptures, wearing light clothes Chen looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and finally his eyes fell on Hua Shenchi.

Hua Shenchi only glanced at the corpse, and said to Tiangui, "It's well preserved."

Tiangui Laodao stroked his beard, kept his eyes on the corpse, and said in a proud and sad tone, "This way, there is more possibility of resurrection, and Pindao owes her..." He asked again, "Is this possible? Can the method be resurrected?"

Hua Shenchi said calmly, "Yes..." But there was no more to say.

Tiangui Laodao turned his head to look at Hua Shenchi, stared at Hua Shenchi for a moment, and immediately understood, and said to the others, "You all step back."

Yeluo sat down on the ground, wondering, "Eh? We just climbed up!" The old man Tiangui didn't back down, Duanyue sighed helplessly, tugged at Yeluo's sleeve, and took her away reluctantly. After going downstairs, Jiang Jiuqu looked thoughtfully at Tiangui Laodao, but turned around and went downstairs without making a sound.

The national teacher stood at the stairs for a long time, before leaving, he still stared at Hua Shenchi's back, showing a meaningful smile.

After all the irrelevant people retreated, only Tiangui Laodao, Hua Shenchi, Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian were left in the room.Yi Qingchen didn't want to go down, he wanted to hear how Hua Chenchi was going to deceive the old Taoist Tiangui, only after knowing what Hua Chenchi said today, when he deceived the Marrow Sect in the future, would he not be exposed .

Murong Qian wanted to guard Yi Qingchen, but he did not leave.

Hua Shenchi didn't care about the existence of the two of them, but just confessed the truth to the old Taoist Heavenly Ghost, "To be honest, the most crucial medicine in the method of bringing the dead back to life is my soul."

Yi Qingchen made countless calculations, and arranged countless possibilities in his mind, but he never thought that Hua Shenchi would really confess the truth, so he hurriedly stopped, "Wait..." Murong Qian stretched out his hand to cover it. Yi Qingchen's mouth, Hua Shenchi didn't look at Yi Qingchen, but continued, "Every time a person is resurrected, half of my soul is needed, and only I know how to do it..."

The veteran Tiangui stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It can only be your soul? No one else's?"

Hua Shenchi said lightly, "No, it must be the soul."

Yi Qingchen struggled harder, and the old Taoist Tiangui said suspiciously, "Spiritual soul? That is to say...Your Excellency is the reincarnation of a god?" Hua Shenchi agreed, and the old Taoist Tiangui said again, "That is to say... , with your soul, at most two people can be resurrected?"

Hua Shenchi corrected, "It's one person."

The old man Tiangui took a clear look at Yi Qingchen, nodded and said, "Only one person can be resurrected..." Squeezed a smile from his throat, "How do you know if what you said is true or not? Isn't it a conspiracy to alienate the sect?"

Hua Shenchi handed his hand to Tiangui Laodao, "Is it a living dead or not? With your medical skills, you can find out at once."

The old Taoist Tiangui stopped laughing, remained silent for a moment, and really stretched out his hand to take Hua Shenchi's pulse. After a long while, he silently withdrew his hand and fell silent.

Hua Shenchi said, "This is the truth, if you intend to alienate, you will not intentionally order others to leave."

Tiangui Laodao glanced at Yi Qingchen again, closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a major decision, and said, "Okay, one person is one person, if you can save your wife, no matter what the price is... ...and what about you? What is your request?"

Hua Shenchi said lightly, "Peace and war, disband the Marrow Sect."

Tiangui Laodao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Okay, okay..." He sighed again, "If Madam can be revived, there is no point in continuing the existence of the Marrow Sect... ...."

Yi Qingchen bit Murong Qian's finger hard, forcing Murong Qian to let go, and said anxiously, "Why did you tell him everything? Didn't we say that we would retire together after the war?" ? Why don’t you count your words?”

Hua Shenchi bowed his head and remained silent for a long time, before he turned his head to look at Yi Qingchen, and said lightly, "I've broken my promise, if you can't forgive me, it's fine."

If you can't forgive, it doesn't matter.

These words echoed in Yi Qingchen's mind for a long time, Yi Qingchen understood it over and over again, but in the end he could only get one meaning, that is, his own feelings are no longer important, no matter what he does, he can't shake Hua Shenchi in the end plan.

For a moment, Yi Qingchen didn't know what else to say, but felt heavy.

Hua Shenchi has been avoiding his gaze from the beginning to the end, even with his hands and feet broken, he can't rush to him, grabbing his collar to force him to look at him.

Even though I thought of countless remedies for a moment, it seems...

It's too late...

The agreement has been finalized, and Tiangui Laodao is very satisfied, so the tone of his inquiry to Hua Shenchi has eased a lot, "When will Huagongzi be able to do it?"

Hua Shenchi was unmoved, and said calmly, "And after the war." He added, "Before that, I hope you can send Axue back to the South Marching Camp. The place is cold and humid, and there are few medicinal materials. Miasma, his bones are seriously injured, he needs to rest well, leave him in your hands, forgive me for not being able to perform the operation with peace of mind."

The old man Tiangui had some concerns, "But if the young master suddenly repents later, wouldn't we have lost my wife and lost my army?"

Hua Shenchi didn't care, "From now on, I will stay in Juexian Valley until Mrs. Jiang Zun is resurrected, and I won't leave a single step."

Yi Qingchen was even more shocked when he heard the words, Murong Qianxian Yi Qingchen said in a step-by-step agreement, "It's so good, I think there are so many eyeliners in Gu Zhong, it's more than enough to stare at one person."

Tiangui Laodao stroked his beard and thought for a while, during which time he observed Yi Qingchen's expression several times, Hua Shenchi saw this, and said calmly, "This proposal is not Axue's plan."

Only then did Tiangui Laodao agree to his consent, and ordered Murong Qian to send Yi Qingchen out of the valley.

Yi Qingchen was unusually confused, "I won't go..."

Murong Qian couldn't help but carry Yi Qingchen downstairs, Yi Qingchen was completely unable to calm down and think at this time, so he could only keep ordering Murong Qian, "I won't go! Put me down!"

Murong Qian sighed softly, and said softly to the person in his arms whose gaze had never lingered on him for a moment, "Brother Xue, calm down, this is not like you."

Descending down the stairs step by step, Hua Shenchi's figure completely disappeared from sight, Yi Qingchen only felt that there was a sudden emptiness in his heart, and he seemed to be able to understand the relationship between Hua Shenchi and Murong Qian after he fell off the cliff ten years ago. I feel it, this is a kind of despair that can only watch the cherished person go to death, but there is no way to bring it back.

Murong Qian took Yi Qingchen back to the first floor, gently put it back on the wheelchair, and walked out of Wangqing Palace.

Outside the pagoda, Yeluo and the others had been waiting for a long time, when they saw only Yi Qingchen and Murong Qian coming out, they all looked suspicious.Yeluo asked eagerly, "Where's the old man? What about the method of bringing the dead back to life? Did the elder brother say it?"

Yi Qingchen's expression was gloomy, and he didn't want to say much. Murong Qian also didn't want to talk to everyone, so he just pushed the wheelchair forward, and within a few steps, Duanyue suddenly stopped in front of him, and asked Murong Qian worriedly, "Aren't you Will you wait with us?"

Murong Qian raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "No, I have to be ordered to send Brother Xue out of the valley."

Jiang Jiuqu was taken aback, "Out of the valley?"

Murong Qian nodded, "Yes, out of the valley."

Yeluo didn't understand what was going on anymore, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Why? Didn't you catch it with great difficulty? What does it mean to send it back suddenly?"

"It's the meaning of the poor Taoist." Old Taoist Tiangui and Hua Shenchi came out of the tower one after the other. When the guardians saw the old Taoist Tiangui, their attitudes suddenly calmed down a lot. Yeluo still couldn't help asking He said, "Why did you send him out? Didn't we catch him in the valley with great difficulty?"

Tiangui Laodao stroked his beard and laughed twice, and said to everyone with a slightly joyful tone, "Because Mr. Hua is willing to stay in the valley and personally perform the method of bringing the dead back to life for you..."

All the protectors were shocked, and then showed joy, and after a while, they turned into doubts again, but they still couldn't get rid of their smiles. Seeing that the situation was good, the old Taoist Tiangui added, "Pindao has reached a peace war with Hua Gongzi." According to the agreement, there is no need to worry about losing one's life, and when important people like you come back to life, you can bring them back to the world and fulfill your long-cherished wish."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Hua Shenchi, "To show sincerity, the captives captured will be released before the peace agreement is signed, what do you think, Mr. Hua?"

Hua Shenchi's eyes only stayed on Yi Qingchen who had already gone away, and said lightly, "Very good." Obviously a little absent-minded, Tiangui Laodao didn't bother with these details, and only told Jiang Jiuqu, "In the prison All of them should be sent back, and they must not be kept private."

Jiang Jiuqu was obviously a little reluctant to let Jiang Zhige go, he struggled and said, "Is it okay to keep one?"

The old Taoist Tiangui persuaded, "You and your elder brother are just separated temporarily. Wouldn't it be better to bring him back to have fun together when your long-cherished wish is fulfilled and the soul of your parents returns?"

Jiang Jiuqu nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again, and asked very tangled, "Then what if... brother wants to stay?"

A look of surprise appeared on the old Taoist Tiangui's face, "Does he want to stay on his own? Or did you do something to him?"

Jiang Jiuqu turned his face away, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in his words, "It was my elder brother who mentioned it... He really mentioned it himself. After Riyi Baixue left the Palace of Freedom that day, the two of us quarreled In one fight, he seemed to be emotionally broken, and he admitted his past mistakes to me...he hugged me and said...what happened back then was all his fault, and he was still willing to admit my brother , as long as I am willing to leave the Marrow Sect, stop doing evil things, and stop dressing up as a woman...he will still be willing to take care of me and fulfill the promise he made back then..."

"I found...in fact, I...don't hate him that much...as long as he still recognizes me, the injustice I suffered back then, the hatred accumulated over the years... ..then I'm all relieved..."

"I'm really naive... so easy to coax..."

Tiangui Laodao smiled gratifiedly, just like when the two met for the first time, he reached out and rubbed Jiang Jiuqu's head, "You have grown up." He sighed deeply, "When things are done, you will Lead your brother out of this land of right and wrong, and start a new life..."

Jiang Jiuqu closed his eyes, letting Tian Gui Lao Dao put his hands on his head, smiling as innocently as he did back then, as if he was about to melt with joy.

Yeluo tightly hugged Duanyue's waist, bouncing around in circles on the spot, and cheered, "That's great, sister, Yeluo can finally stop being a monster, grow up, and be with you." Let my sister get old, sick and die, so I don’t have to drag my sister down anymore!”

Duanyue showed a gratified smile, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "Yes... I have been waiting for 12 years... this day is finally here..."

Monk Wuliang also showed joy on his face, only the national teacher, who had been silent all this time, still stared at the old Taoist Tiangui with serious eyes, and asked coldly, "You mean, every congregation can be perfected?" ?”

The old way of Tiangui replied, "Yes."

The national teacher stopped talking, just turned and left silently.
