Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1769 Soul Lamp
pat, pat.

Crystal drops of water fell on the dusty ground, splashing small pits.

Ji Mo slowly turned his head to the side, looking at the tearful man beside him.

Ji Da stood quietly in front of the altar, just looking at the extinguished lamp, there was no trace of sadness on his face, but big tears kept streaming from his eyes.

His whole figure turned into a stone statue, with clear spring water gushing out from the crevices of the stone, coming from nowhere, but the jet flow continued.

"A man doesn't flick his tears lightly," Ji Mo said with no emotion in his tone.

"After so many years, the Lingbi of the Great Wall stands there shining brightly. I thought you people would have given up their fantasy long ago."

Having known Ji Da for so many years, compared to the benevolent Ji Er, Ji Mo knows that the eldest son of the Ji family is not as loyal as he seems, but a ruthless person who is even more ruthless to others and himself, a man who bleeds but does not shed tears.

There is only one person in this world who can make this iron man cry.

A woman who no longer exists in this world.

"Where am I crying?" Ji Da chuckled lightly, "Do you think I look sad?"

He was smiling, but tears kept falling from his eyes.

Ji Mo didn't bother to expose him anymore, and looked at the glazed cup on the altar table again.

"You've seen it."

Ji Mo said softly, "The lamp is off."

The light is off, which means the person is gone.

Ji Da could no longer control his emotions, and slowly knelt down in front of the altar.

The four lamps placed on this altar are not ordinary lamps.

These four lamps are all soul lamps.

The soul lamp is a lamp lit by fragments of the practitioner's soul. The stronger the practitioner's soul, the bigger the flame. When a practitioner dies, the soul lamp will go out and can no longer be lit.

Ji Da once saw the soul lamps lit by the Daqin imperial family for immortal officials and high-ranking practitioners in the Efang Palace. Each lamp was engraved with a name, and they were placed together to burn and burn, which was spectacular.

But unlike the soul lamps that were enshrined in the palace, the four lamps placed in front of Jimo did not have their names engraved on the sockets.

Ji Da already understood who these four lamps belonged to.

These four people are the four most important practitioners to Ji Mo.

Southern Chu, like Great Qin, respected the right.

The order of the four lights placed in front of Ji Mo from left to right also represented the order of those four people in his heart in a sense.

The three on the left are Ji Mo's children, and the one on the far right...

Ji Da clenched his teeth, and there was a bloody smell in his mouth.

This lamp was the only soul lamp of the Great Qin Immortal Official that was not found in Efang Palace back then.

Seven years ago, they searched desperately, but they never found this lamp.

This also leaves one last thought for those who were left behind by her.

What if, what if, she is still there?
When he saw Ying Baoyue, this fantasy was once again ignited in his heart.

But at this moment, this illusion was completely shattered.

The soul lamp has been extinguished, and there is no possibility of even seizing the house.

"Mr. Qiong Hua is indeed right," Ji Da looked at the extinguished soul lamp on the altar table with a smile on his face, "This lamp is indeed in your hands."

Who would have thought that the soul lamp of Lin Shubai, the Great Qin State Master who was supposed to be placed in the Efang Palace, would be hidden in his ancestral hall by Southern Chu State Master Ji Mo?

Seven years ago, after the news of the death of Da Si Ming and the Second Emperor came back to the capital, there was chaos in the Efang Palace. He took the opportunity to rush into the palace with the remnants of the Black Tiger Army in search of Lin Shubai's soul lamp, but found The place where the national teacher's soul lamp was placed was empty, leaving only traces of it being placed.

Lin Shubai's soul lamp was taken away.

The problem is that at that time, the news of Da Si Ming's death had been confirmed, the Lingbi stood still, and Lin Shubai's body no longer existed in the world.

Therefore, the soul lamp of Da Si Ming should have been extinguished.

Once the soul lamp is extinguished, it cannot be ignited again. It is equivalent to a piece of waste, but entering the Efang Palace to steal the soul lamp is a serious crime enough to punish the nine clans.

Who would steal a dead man's soul lamp, except for those who were obsessed with obsession and refused to believe it?
At that time, the Black Tiger Army never thought that anyone would take away Lin Shubai's soul lamp.

Ji Da didn't expect it either.

Although he had a vague guess in his heart, he was not sure.

The one who affirmed his guess was a man who had been standing on the sidelines.

"So that bastard Song Zhai ordered it?"

Sitting under the altar, Ji Mo breathed out lightly, "Is that guy happy to be an old monster? Why didn't God confiscate him?"

"Mr. Qionghua is an outsider, so he can see clearly," Ji Da looked at the man sitting cross-legged under the lamp with a complicated expression.

Just 20 years ago, he was by Lin Shubai's side and watched her and Ji Mo part ways with his own eyes.

The swan goose passed letters between lovers, and he was the goose who had sent many letters between Lin Shubai and Ji Mo.

After the two of Ji Lin broke up, they both returned all the letters they had received, so he became the last wild goose.

But when he came to Ji's house with a thick stack of letters, and was about to hand the letter to Ji Mo, his fingertips suddenly felt hot, and he couldn't help but let go with a cry of pain, but The letter in his hand turned into a ball of fire and rolled to the ground.

Ji Mo burned them all without even looking at the letters again.

The determination and coldness in the boy's eyes at that time are still engraved in Ji Da's heart.

At that time, he understood that the relationship between Ji Mo and Lin Shubai was really over.

From that day on, it was impossible for Southern Chu State Master Donghuang Taiyi and Great Qin State Master Si Ming to be together forever.

Afterwards, the birth of Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange made the world confused about the relationship between the two, but the death of Lin Shubai made Ji Da's heart completely cold.

He didn't dare to think about what role Ji Mo played in Lin Shubai's death, he only knew that Ji Mo at least failed to save her.

Ji Mo was indifferent to Lin Shubai's death.

How could such a person steal her soul lamp?

"Ji Da, have you ever thought that Shubai's soul lamp will be in the Southern Chu State Master's Mansion?"

When Song Zhai said that sentence, Ji Da couldn't believe his ears.

"Young master... No, it's time to call me master," he smiled wryly. "I watched Mr. Dong Huangtai grow up. I know him well. He wouldn't do that."

Ji Mo is arrogant and indifferent, and because of his family's downfall in childhood, he has experienced human relationships, and has developed an extremely cold attitude towards those who once looked down on him.

Lin Shubai "abandoned" him back then, and with Ji Mo's pride, he would never take a step closer to her.

"Don't believe me, I know you know Ji Mo better than I do." Song Zhai turned and took a deep look at him, "But I have an intuition that Shubai's soul lamp is right there with him."

Ji Da didn't understand where Song Zhai's intuition came from, but since the wise and almost demon Qionghua Jun said so, he was ready to give it a try.

Originally, Ji Da had no idea, but when he saw the book he was holding in Ji Mo's study, he suddenly had an intuition.

Maybe Song Zhai was right.

Song Zhai and his premonition became reality at this moment.

But what surprised Ji Da even more was that Ji Mo had more than one soul lamp.

His eyes fell on the two soul lamps in the middle, "These two lamps belong to the young lady and the eldest son, right?"

Ji Mo was silent and did not speak, Ji Da knew that he had guessed right.

But apart from Ji Qingyuan and Ji Ange, whose lamp is there?
　anyone guessed
