Chapter 54 Delirium (1/2)

After Yin Hanjiang read the book he was dumbstruck for a long time, what he was thinking about during that time, he couldn’t remember afterwards.

In a trance, he remembered that Venerable said that Baili Qingmiao had karma with him so he needed her to become a god in order to pay it back. He also remembered Zhong Liqian telling him that the reason why Wen Renhe desperately tried to save Baili Qingmiao was not because he did not value his own life, but because he had a plan.

He sat at the table and tilted his head, a little unclear whether this memory was real or imagined by him.

Yin Hanjiang turned his head to “Wen Renhe” who was sitting on his left and asked: “Does venerable like Baili Qingmiao?”

“Wen Renhe” said: “Don’t you remember what this venerable said to you?”

Yin Hanjiang asked “Wen Renhe” who was sitting on his right side: “What does my lord think?”

“Wen Renhe” said: “This Venerable has told you that what is written in this book is destiny, and destiny is hard to change.”

The two “Wen Renhe” were repeating in Yin Hanjiang’s ear what the venerable had said during his lifetime. Yin Hanjiang was confused, he didn’t know who was correct anymore, and he didn’t even know if these two people around him were real.

He raised his hand to cover his ears, but it was so good to hear his lord’s voice that he couldn’t stop himself from hearing it.

Yin Hanjiang shook his head, vaguely feeling that he was acting somewhat abnormal.

He put away the book, sat on the bed cross legged, and silently recited the Clear Heart Mantra in an attempt to calm his mind and dispel his delusions.

But the two “Wen Renhe” sat close to Yin Hanjiang, they were so close to each other as they asked: “Patriarch Yin is chanting the Clear Heart Mantra, don’t you want to see this Venerable again?”

Yin Hanjiang only felt the stagnation of the meridians in his body, making him unable to even use his genuine Qi. He forcibly opened his meridians, but violently spat out a mouthful of blood. The pain in his dantian was also severe.

“Fake, it’s all fake.” Yin Hanjiang took out Wen Renhe’s robe and hugged it in his arms, which made him feel better.

He clutched the robe firmly and closed his eyes quietly, not knowing whether he was unconscious or asleep.

In a trance he seemed to have a dream, it didn’t seem like a dream but like something that had really happened. In the dream, Venerable was saved by a woman of the righteous path after a massive demonic war, venerable liked this woman so much that he even died in the end saving this woman from falling into Underworld Blood Sea.

Before falling into the blood sea, Venerable threw this woman wrapped in his robes, along with a blood-red stone, into Yin Hanjiang’s arm. His last words were: “Protect her for this venerable.”

The heart-breaking pain woke Yin Hanjiang up, as he stared at his arms there was only a piece of clothing without a woman.

Huh? Strange, how did Venerable get there?

Yin Hanjiang shook his head but couldn’t remember.

Two memories appeared in his memory, one was that his lord was good and gentle toward him, getting snow flame for him and refining his soul bound magic weapon for him and giving him the magic robe, but in the others …… In the other He quietly watched his lord treat that woman well, so good that it caused him heartache, so good that he put on his ghost mask countless times in the middle of night to use his sword to carve wood into that woman’s likeness. Then he used his fingernails to scratch the carved face off, turning the wood carving piece by piece into wood chips.

Which one was real?

Yin Hanjiang went through his storage bag and saw many wooden carvings of Wen Renhe which he had carved secretly in private, each of them so ugly that he did not dare to show them to his lord.

Wooden carvings? So it’s true that Venerable liked that woman and him being good to him was just a delusion of his heart?

“Protector Yin, your body is cold, drink the blood of this venerable to warm up.” A “Wen Renhe” stood in front of Yin Hanjiang and held out his hand, asking him to drink his own blood.

Yin Hanjiang ignored the “Wen Renhe” and stretched out two fingers and pressed his fingertips deep into his two eyes, gouging them out so that he could not see the illusion

The sting awakened him abruptly as he regained some of his senses.

Yin Hanjiang put away robes and wooden carvings and pushed the door open to walk out of the room. He met Xiu Huai who was carrying the white bones to Zhong Liqian. When the white skeleton saw Yin Hanjiang, all the joints clicked together, he was not sure if it was afraid or cursing Yin Hanjiang.

“Don’t move, your bones might break and then Jiu Yang essence might really be lost!” Xiu Huai pressed Qiu Congxue’s skeleton, not allowing his master to speak.

Seeing Yin Hanjiang, Xiu Huai hurriedly pressed the white bones and half kneeled down saying: “Getting patriarch Yin.”

“Who are you?” Yin Hanjiang had blood in the corners of his eyes as he stared fixedly at Xiu Huai.

Xiu Huai hurriedly said: “I am a disciple of Baili Qingmiao, and Zhong Liqian’s student who has not yet joined the Xuanyuan Sect. My name is also written in the Shangqing Sect roster…. I don’t know if I can even be considered a disciple of the Xuanyuan sect. If possible I hope to enter the Underworld Fire Altar, hehehe ……”

Xuanyuan sect was the best sect for ghost cultivators like Xiu Huai, and Wen Renhe or Yin Hanjiang were all legendary figures for him. Originally, Qiu Congxue also belonged to this category, but it was a pity that after getting along for so long, Xiu Huai knew very well the virtues of his master, and really couldn’t respect it.

“I don’t remember you.” Yin Hanjiang stared at Xiu Huai; he was not sure if his memory had gone awry or if he really never met him.

“I had a one-time encounter with Patriarch Yin at the Purple Spirit Pavilion in Taiyin Mountain. I am just nobody so it’s normal for Patriarch Yin not to remember me.” Xiu Huai scratched his head and said.

“You are Baili Qingmiao’s disciple?” Yin Hanjiang raised his hand, he remembered that Baili Qingmiao was the woman his lord liked, he couldn’t kill her. But he could kill her disciple, right?

Xiu Huai who did not notice the danger, answered honestly: “Yes, my master and I were previously captured by the Shangqing Sect, and thanks to Venerable Wen Renhe saving us, Xiu Huai is willing to join the Xuanyuan Sect and serve Patriarch Yin like a loyal dog.”
