Shuo Yue sighed softly, and started to recount her sorrowful past: ”My mother is the princess of the Fengdu Ghost City, she is different from other ghosts. She has an innate powerful ghost power, and a profound endosperm that is different from others in the same kind. And I was the only child she had left with an ordinary man. My birth was not blessed. My father knew the truth and left me and mother, but the Fengdu Ghost City could not tolerate my existence. Thus, I became an orphan that no one wanted.
So it turns out that Shuo Yue had such an unknown background, it was really miserable, even my nose felt a little sour upon hearing it. This was the result of the combination of man and ghost? The children she gave birth to couldn't be tolerated by the world? I couldn't help but think of me and Zhang Ziyuan. I raised my head to sneak a peek at him, and Zhang Ziyuan tightly furrowed his brows, not knowing what he was thinking.
She is truly a very gentle person. She gave me the care and love of a relative, and I have never treated her as my master. I have always treated her as my mother. When Shuo Yue said till here, a string of tears had already flowed down her face. It could be seen that he was recalling the matters of the Master Jun, and his heart was truly hurt.
Wu Qi sighed, patted Shuo Yue's shoulders, and continued to speak for him: ”Sigh, the relationship between Shuo Yue and the Master Jun is indeed closer than mother and son. Although very few people in the outside world know about this feeling, Wu Long is very clear about my master, and he has always been reminding the Master Jun that Shuo Yue is the son of the Fengdu Ghost City's princess, after all, if he is allowed to inherit the rain house, it might not be appropriate for him, but Jun Mingzhu did not accept any more disciples.”
I fell into a trance listening to this mythical story. Although I have never seen this Master Jun before, she must be a beautiful, benevolent and thoroughly alive woman.
”According to my master, back then, the three great powers and several profound psychic s did not have any way to deal with the attack from the Fengdu Ghost City. At that time, a young Shuo Yue suggested that he personally make a trip back to the Fengdu to find the best way to solve this problem. At that time, Jun Mingzhu did not agree with this method, he did not wish for his own disciple, who he brought along since he was young, to be in any danger, but with the matter at hand, under everyone's discussion, he decided to let Shuo Yue do this. ”
Zhang Shaowu raised his head and looked at Shuo Yue, ”So that's how it is, although my master rarely brought up matters of the past, when I asked Shuo Yue about him, his expression was really hard to forget, and although master did not answer any of my questions directly, I could feel that he was very complicated in his heart.”
Wu Qi nodded his head: ”Your master, Zhuo Feng, knows about the entire situation, and actually told others that Shuo Yue returning to the Fengdu Ghost City as a lobbyist is only an excuse for the outside world. The real reason why Shuo Yue went back, is to find the legendary 72 ghost lamp, and destroy them.”
”Seventy-two ghost lamp? What is that thing? ” I wondered.
This time, it was Zhang Ziyuan who explained it to me: ”Actually, every ghost has a ghost lamp. The ghost lamp is like a human's heart, and is the ghost's life source. If the ghost lamp of this ghost is still lit up, it means that he has not been reincarnated, nor has his soul dissipated. Instead, he is still drifting in a certain place in the world. Therefore, this ghost lamp was like a ghost's account in the Yin Division, it was the basis for the Yin Division to control and manage ghosts. The ghosts that belonged to the Ghost King were all part of the Fengdu Ghost City, so they were not protected by the Yin Division. Therefore, if they were to be broken by force and the lights were extinguished, their souls would disappear. Therefore, Fengdu Ghost City has always been rather strict when it comes to the protection of ghost lamp. ”
There's actually a ghost lamp saying this, there was no one with me in the past, so there probably isn't any need, so every spirit actually has a light to control their own survival.
I couldn't help but ask, ”Isn't it too dangerous for a lamp like that to exist? If someone intentionally destroyed the ghost lamp, wouldn't it be easy for the ghost to hide?”
Wu Qi scratched his head: ”That's right in theory, but ordinary people cannot reach the Yin Division. All the ghost lamp there are basically safe, and the Fengdu Ghost City is also a well-guarded place. However, if one of us goes in, I think the success rate will be higher. ”
I sucked in a breath of cold air when I heard this. ”This is indeed a good method, but isn't it a bit cruel to let Shuo Yue return to his homeland and kill her own relatives?”
Shuo Yue sneered twice: ”Actually, I was also tossing and turning because of the decision at that time, but the one who raised me up was still the Master Jun, other than a mother who abandoned me, who in the Fengdu Ghost City would care about my life and death. Therefore, I have decided to do this matter, for the sake of my master. ”
Wu Qi poured himself a cup of tea and slowly sipped: ”Family? Su Su, you are too naive, you think ghosts and people are the same? Even if it is the Fengdu Ghost City, the ghost is still the ghost. Without any feelings that humans should have, there is no kinship, no friendship, and no love between them. If not for Ghost King's powerful summoning, they would only be killing each other easily.
