The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 354 Awakening (two in one)

Qizhou, Yeyi.

In front of the ruined "Ruyun Pavilion", a graceful figure emerged. It was the "Qingli Fairy" who had gone to the Meng family to apologize.

She glanced briefly at the few silent figures in the ruins - they were all supernatural monks who protected Mr. Gu, and then walked towards the only building in the entire "Feiyun Pavilion" that was not destroyed.

There was no trace of worry on this fairy's face, as if she was sure that her son was fine.

Sure enough, as soon as she approached the intact building, she heard heavy breathing, intermittent crying and begging for mercy coming from inside.

Fairy Qingli did not enter the building, but stood outside the door. When a satisfied roar came, she respectfully asked: "Is the young master okay?"

"What can happen to me? He's just an assassin, not that rare...and apart from predicting that you will leave, tonight's one is not as powerful as the 'Sword of Heaven's Waterfall' in the sword pavilion." A voice came from inside the house. , with a rather disdainful tone.

"It's extraordinary to be able to accurately grasp the moment when I will leave the young master's side...Have the young master ever interrogated his origin?" Fairy Qingli asked again.

"I only know that she is a female cultivator, and she has already run away..." The voice in the room was silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Escaped?" Fairy Qingli had a look of disbelief on her face, showing surprise for the first time, "You were able to successfully escape from...?"

"There is always something more powerful than that thing I have!" Gu Changhe sighed and continued, "The escape route prepared by the female assassin is the 'door' and 'key' to enter history.

"With this kind of thing, I can't keep the thing I gave you."

"I see..." Fairy Qingli exhaled, then frowned and said, "If we enter history, it is almost impossible to deduce her identity...

"And Master, you have many enemies. It's not easy to find out who did it."

"There's no need to bother looking for her... I haven't heard of anyone who entered history, young master, who can come back!" Gu Changhe pouted, then straightened his clothes, and then Shi Shiran walked out of the house. , came to Fairy Qingli, "What's more, if the Meng family reveals the news, can you really go to them to settle accounts?
"They don't want to mess with me, but it's not because they're afraid of him.

"I really pissed people off. Isn't it easy for this family to deal with me?"

Fairy Qingli knew that her young master was right, so she could only sigh.

Speaking of which, although Gu Changhe often goes "crazy", he is by no means a fool. Whenever he can't control his emotions and needs to vent, he will find a place where there are no powerful forces. So far, he has not caused any major trouble.

Even if he accidentally hurts someone with a distinguished status, he would apologize immediately afterwards. Generally, for his father's sake, he would not embarrass him too much.

"Actually, they don't know that the person who wants me to die the most is probably my father... But he can't show it, and he has to go to great lengths to send people to protect me... Hey, this kind of Shengxuan is not free at all. 'It's better not to be promoted!" Gu Changhe laughed sarcastically, but none of his words could be spoken, and they were all eliminated by invisible forces.

In response, Gu Changhe's smile became even more sarcastic.

……

In a small building in Yumen South District, the ghost figure of "Duan Mingxue" finished talking about Banque's prophetic poem, and then briefly talked about his grudges with Mr. Gu, and then continued:
"Xiao Ling, after I fail, I will either die on the spot... In this case, because of my connection, I am afraid that you will be implicated, and this photo will not be seen by you...

"Either my behind-the-scenes trick has taken effect. At this time, I have entered a period of 'history', and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to come back in this life.

"And the connection between you and me has been severed... Congratulations, Little Ling, you are completely free!"

Hearing this, Ming Xue Ling's eyes flashed with joy, not for her own freedom, but because Duan Mingxue was not really dead...even though they might never see each other again.

"However, as a friend, I still want to make three requests to you selfishly. I wonder if you can agree..." Duan Mingxue's shadow said in embarrassment.

"Since we are friends, I will naturally fulfill your request..." Even though he knew Duan Mingxue couldn't hear it, Ming Xue Ling still responded seriously.

"I guess you will agree..." On the other side, Duan Mingxue's shadow also smiled at the same time, "Because my little Ling is such a gentle, kind-hearted girl who thinks about others.

"Although I am usually a bit verbose and have a sharp tongue..."

Ming Xueliang pursed her lips and refused to admit her shortcomings.

"First, I hope you can help me complete a certain ritual to obtain the second half of the prophecy." Duan Mingxue's phantom stopped smiling and said seriously, "You probably don't know that in order to find an opportunity to assassinate Gu Changhe, I In fact, I have joined the 'All Stars Club'!
"Although this organization is an evil one, its declaration that 'the star god comes to this world with an uncertain destiny' touched my heart.

"This is the ambition a person should have, I don't believe in any 'fate or fate'!
"Hey, I'm off topic... In fact, what I used to obtain the prophecy was the 'Star God's Heaven' ceremony given by the 'Star Society'.

"The 'Galaxy Ghost Scale Lamp' that goes with this ceremony was originally in charge of me. Later, I deliberately gave it to Master Zhen of Qingyun Tower in Dunhuang, and he lost this valuable treasure as I expected.

"In this way, you will no longer have to deal with evil spirits, and you will have the opportunity to retrieve this valuable treasure, help me complete the subsequent rituals, and obtain Xiaque's prophecy.

"By the way, according to my investigation, that thing is currently in the hands of 'Blood Sword Master' Zhao Chen. This is one of the reasons why I specially brought you to Ganzhou."

Duan Mingxue really counts every step she takes... Are all human beings so complicated?When Ming Xue Ling heard this, she felt that her "calculation power" was almost not enough. It was not how complicated these plans were, but the logical relationships among them, which she found difficult to establish.

"That 'Blood Sword Master' is not an easy person... I know you have the means to steal the door, but the 'Galaxy Ghost Scale Lamp' is not that easy to get, so you need to be careful. It's best to get it first. Gain his trust, don't steal if you can trade...

"In addition, what is required to initiate the 'Star God's Journey to Heaven' ritual is the power of the soul or a power equivalent to it.

"If you can't use supernatural powers or even the souls of Dongxuan monks as sacrifices, you need to sacrifice a large number of monks and ordinary people who have never eaten sweet potato rice... I don't recommend that you do that, because it will inevitably attract a blow from the Taoist authorities.

“So, it’s an excellent choice to find someone to follow you and use them to accomplish your goals.

“And Zhao Chen is the candidate who meets this standard.

"Temporarily following Zhao Chen can not only gain his trust, but also collect the souls of powerful people through his hands,"

At this point, Duan Mingxue's shadow paused for a moment before continuing, "But it's up to you to decide how to do it... Otherwise, it's all my instructions, so how can you talk about 'freedom'?
"Well, the second request, I think you have guessed it... that is, when one day you can really get the prophecy and get the opportunity to kill Gu Changhe, please help my mother avenge her."

After listening to Duan Mingxue's suggestions and requests, Ming Xue Ling just nodded thoughtfully and murmured: "I didn't even know you joined the 'Stars Club'... In addition, Zhao Chen originally had that kind of weapon in his hand. Treasure? No wonder you valued him so much from the beginning and insisted on finding him as an alibi. "Is this paving the way for subsequent contact?

"Humanity's calculations are indeed very complicated... You can't tell them at all until the purpose is revealed.

"And the same thing is likely to have many purposes, and these purposes can change as things change..."

Ming Xueliang sighed slightly, feeling that she was still far from becoming a real human being.

She didn't expect that there were very few humans who could calculate to this extent.

"The third request is just a small wish of mine... Well, when you are strong enough in the future, please be sure to board the 'Alchemy Immortal Sect', slap my father in the face, and help me vent my anger!"

Listening to Duan Mingxue's slightly childish tone, Ming Xueliang nodded seriously and said solemnly: "Mingxue, don't worry...I will help you complete your three requests one by one!"

Although Duan Mingxue's shadow was just a reserved image, she seemed to be able to hear Ming Xueliang's words, with a smile on her face and said:
"I know Xiao Ling that you will definitely agree!
"The capacity of ghost messages is limited, so I won't go into too much detail here. I'll just say the last sentence...

"Xiao Ling, I entrust you with everything. Please live a good and happy life."

After the phantom said these words, it disappeared completely.

After standing in silence for a long time, Ming Xue Ling said to "No. [-]" on the side:

"From today on, I am 'Duan Mingxue'."

……

In the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall, as soon as Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan entered the courtyard where Xiao Ruoyun was housed, they saw Gong Yun and Ma Guangliang quarreling with each other, while the young man Zhou Fu huddled aside, not daring to intervene at all. The "battlefield" of experts.

Seeing Zhao Chen and Zheng Qingyan come in, they exchanged a few words, and Ma Guangliang took the initiative and said: "The preparations required for my 'Dream Haunting Gu' Gu technique have been completed. Do you want to treat the little girl now?"

Zhao Chen opened the "Dongxu Eye" and looked at Ma Guangliang carefully, and found that he was still just a Yin Qi clone. Then he turned to look at the young man Zhou Fu and asked, "Brother Zhou, are you ready?"

Zhou Fu took a deep breath and replied firmly: "When you are ready, you can wake up Ruoyun from your dream at any time."

Zhao Chen nodded slightly, then looked at Ma Guangliang again and said, "Let's get started."

About half an hour later, a magic circle was set up in this courtyard.

The grooves around the circle are not only densely inlaid with nearly a hundred gems of different colors, but also two jade platforms are arranged in the center.

——These materials were collected by Sima Zheng and Ma Guangliang in recent days.

Lying on one of the jade platforms was a beautiful woman with a normal expression but her eyes closed.

It was Xiao Ruoyun.

The other jade platform was empty, but directly above it, there was a purple halo flashing, like a "cage" composed of light beams.

At the edge of the magic circle, Zhao Chen, Zheng Qingyan and others stood there, and there was also Li Changsheng, the young master in green robe who came after seeing the movement.

The pale-faced young master stood together with Gong Yun, fanning his folding fan and looking at the magic circle in the yard. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.

Zhou Fu stood a little further away, with more than a dozen talismans affixed to his body, and Gong Yun also painted many seemingly complex lines on his robe, which made people feel dizzy after just staring at it. .

"It's midnight now. It's almost time to let Brother Zhou enter the magic circle." Ma Guangliang took out a magic staff from his storage bag and said with his eyes narrowed.

"Yes, junior obey!"

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Fu let out a breath and slowly entered the "cage" made of light from behind, and after a moment, he lay down on another jade platform not far from Xiao Ruoyun.

At this time, Li Changsheng frowned and asked: "Ma Guangliang, you are setting up the 'Common War Array' in southern Xinjiang, right?

"It can indeed bring this little girl into your preset 'dream'... However, I remember that this formation has no solution... How do you ensure that the two of them can safely escape from the dream?"

Ma Guangliang gave him a meaningful look and said with a smile: "Sixth brother is really knowledgeable, he even recognizes the 'Common Sword Formation'..."

Then, he changed the topic and explained with a smile, "However, if this formation is not coordinated with the 'Dream Haunting Gu' Gu technique, as you said, it must be possible to escape only after death.

"But with the 'Dream Haunting Gu', there is life.

"Because after they enter the dreamland, the carrier of their consciousness is actually this Gu insect, and when the time comes, the 'suffering' will naturally be the Gu insect as well.

"Master Chen and I have signed a contract, and we will not tamper with it."

Li Changsheng, the green-robed young master, was stunned when he heard this. He said nothing more and allowed Ma Guangliang to raise his staff and spit out a purple aura that disappeared into the magic circle.

At the same time, Ma Erxia, the "bright moon shining on Dunhuang", also whispered in the ear of Zhou Fu who was about to "sleep":
"Brother Zhou, remember, you only have nine chances... If you can't wake up this little girl in nine scenes, stop trying to show off, activate the talisman on your body as soon as possible, and wake up on your own."

After Zhou Fu nodded in agreement, he fell into a deep sleep.

Immediately afterwards, the entire array suddenly buzzed loudly, and the surrounding gems also bloomed with various colors of light, illuminating the small courtyard of the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall with colorful colors.

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to Zhou Fu. Most of his eyes were attracted by the staff in Ma Guangliang's hand, because its style was exactly the same as the one that was destroyed in Wuyoufang City... obviously both were lost by Xingcha. A replica of the accessory "Leishi Fairy Stick".

As expected, Ma Guangliang has clues to the "immortal stick for profit"!
