[Journey to the West] Show mercy

? More than two years passed in such a hurry.Qi Shen played with the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain every day, as if she had returned to the life before she traveled west many years ago.She felt that two years had made her forget a lot of things. Although she lived a comfortable and happy life, she always felt empty in her heart.

It's nice to be with the monkeys, but...

She didn't think about it carefully, but just took a bite of the peach in her hand.Ran Yu never came to look for her, because it was only two days in the sky.In just two days, the person in the sky who might harm her shouldn't be able to do anything, right?

Qi Shen just thought that life would be smooth and happy for a few more years.One of the few things that bothers her is what to do if Sun Wukong suddenly returns.But if he becomes a Buddha, he will stay in Lingshan, right?Thinking of this, she felt a little more relieved—but the disappointment in her heart also unknowingly accumulated.

But life is not always so peaceful.One morning, she suddenly saw a cloud floating in the distance, and a woman who looked a little familiar stood on it.Big eyes... Double buns... Isn't this Lingqing?

Lingqing said that they used to have a good relationship, but unfortunately, as far as Qi Chen could remember, she only saw her once.If she hadn't told her the shocking news that she seemed to have something to do with Ran Yu, Qi Chen probably wouldn't be able to remember who she was.

Even so, she was very happy that someone finally came to chat with her, so she warmly greeted her.

"Zixia!" Lingqing waved at her before landing, "Why did you come here suddenly, and you haven't registered at Nantianmen! I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Qi Chen apologized: "I thought I wouldn't stay for a long time, so I didn't register... I'm sorry for making you look for so long, but is there anything?"

"We haven't seen each other for so many years. I managed to say a few words to you last time, and you disappeared in a blink of an eye." She said angrily, "But this place is really beautiful, no wonder you want to live here. Why, Won't you invite me in and sit down?"

Qi Chen felt that her tone was a bit weird, but he thought it was because he felt that he was not very familiar with her yet, but she had already treated him as a confidant and spoke bluntly, so he didn't take it to heart.She nodded and turned around to lead her into the Shuilian Cave, but suddenly felt dizzy and her vision blurred.

"Are you okay?" Ling Qing asked while supporting her.

"No……"

Before Qi Chen finished speaking, she felt that she was gradually losing consciousness.

When she woke up, the surrounding environment had completely changed.She blinked, trying to see in the darkness that this was the Water Curtain Cave—it seemed to be dark outside.But there is no monkey, and I can't move my whole body.

She lowered her head and saw that she had been tied up with fairy ropes, and the strength of the ropes on her legs had been deeply embedded in her skin.As soon as she moved, piercing pain came from all over her body.

Did the weasel come back to life again?In that case, did Lingqing also get caught?She thought of this and whispered her name.

"I'm here." A crisp answer sounded in front of her.Qi Chen raised her head, and Ling Qing was standing in front of her.

"You escaped—" Before Qi Chen could finish speaking, she suddenly realized the cruelty in her eyes. "……is it you?"

"What is it me? Make you unconscious, tie you here, and make you lose your mind?" Lingqing's eyes flickered in the moonlight that came in from the entrance of the cave, "That's right, it's me. How? Did you guess it? "

"Why are the monkeys here—you put them—"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in killing a group of monkeys." She shrugged, "They're all in the woods, but I cast a spell on them. I just want to kill one of you, and I don't want to commit other crimes."

"Why are you--"

"Why!" Lingqing's voice suddenly raised an octave, shaking Qi Shen's eardrums, "You must have forgotten." She took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket, "Want to know?"

Qi Chen didn't answer, but she seemed to be able to feel the breath emanating from the bottle - her heart beat crazily for an instant.There was a rattling sound in the bottle, as if something was hitting the stopper on the bottle.

Lingqing took another step closer, and Qi Chen felt a throbbing pain in her temple due to the surge of blood, but every pain seemed to bring something——she tried hard to grasp—— The clasped hands—the smiling face—the anger—leaving heaven—the pain that runs through the body.

"Remember a little?" Lingqing put the porcelain bottle back into his pocket.

"What is this..." Qi Chen asked pantingly, her heartbeat slowed down a bit, but she could still hear the sound of blood hitting her eardrums.

"What is this? You can't even recognize your own soul!" Lingqing sneered, "Are you really stupid or fake!"

"You—" Qi Chen tried hard to recall the clip that flashed through his mind just now, "Is it because of...Ran Yu?"

Qi Chen felt a sudden burning pain on his face.Lingqing's expression turned cold in an instant: "You don't deserve to say his name."

"So," Qi Chen ignored her, "You like Ran Yu, but you think I have something to do with him, so you want to kill me?"

"If only it were that simple." Ling Qing snorted, "But since you're about to die, it doesn't matter if I tell you." Her gaze shifted to the left, and Qi Chen looked over, a green light shining The magic circle is gradually forming.

"It's almost time. It will take five years to build this thing. You should feel honored." Lingqing took out the bottle again, "Why don't we talk about it while destroying you." She said , approached the formation, and threw the bottle directly into it.

Qi Chen instantly felt heart-piercing pain, as if every inch of his skin was burned by the red iron smelting, and it seemed as if his internal organs had been squeezed and twisted into mud.Her heart was beating extremely fast, and it seemed that it could burst straight out of her chest at any time and roll over on the ground.Even though that part of the soul had been separated from her for nearly a thousand years, she seemed to be able to hear its scream at this moment.

In the chaos, she managed to catch Lingqing's voice.

"Do you know that Ran Yu actually likes me. But my best friend took him away."

Qi Chen clenched her teeth tightly to prevent herself from humming, but blood gradually dripped from the corner of her mouth.

"Of course, the laws of heaven forbid seven emotions and six desires, so he came to you at the beginning, saying that he likes me, what to do. You help him figure out a way, but later you realize that you seem to like him slowly."

"...How do I know you're not talking nonsense?" Qi Chen forced himself to speak.

"Nonsense? This is what your soul told me. How can you be nonsense? At first I just felt that something was wrong. I cast a spell on you and read your memory. After I got your soul, I confirmed it again. How could there be a mistake? "

"You are--"

"Crazy, maybe." Ling Qingyun said lightly, "but you know that I like him too. You know. You also like him, and let him like you too. So I will take advantage of you When I arrived in the mortal world, I killed you in one fell swoop... I didn't expect you to be so fateful, but you didn't die, I need to spend a lot of effort..."

"It's... so fucking bloody." Qi Chen's throat was already hoarse, and the pain in his body seemed to have eased a little, maybe that piece of soul had completely dissipated. "Didn't you say that I have left Heavenly Court? Then what else can you do—"

"Could it be possible to solve anything by leaving Heavenly Court? He doesn't like me anymore." As soon as Ling Qing stretched out his hand, the immortal rope on Qi Chen's body was untied and returned to her hand. "Okay, the question time is over, let's get down to business."
