Seeing the woman's eager expression, I didn't pay attention to her commanding words and turned to look at Master Hui Kong.

"Master, you just said, what kind of seal inheritance did I take out, is it this box?" I took out the box and handed it over.

Master Hui Kong also didn't expect that I would hand over the box that I brought with great difficulty to him so confidently. After being startled for a moment, his eyes revealed a trace of praise as he received the box. Actually, I also know that since they said what kind of seal inheritance this is, they would not let me take it away. Since they are unable to take it away, why not hand it over to me?

"Amitabha, that's right. Benefactor Zhang, do you know why this temple is called the Devil Binding Temple?"

"Why?"

"Hundreds of years ago, the demonic cultivator appeared and attracted countless cultivators to attack him. Although he was eventually killed, I did not discover the demonic cultivator's inheritance crystal, but it was a pity that it was very powerful and my cultivation was not high enough. I had no choice but to seal it and set up the temple to protect it."

"What about the Devil Snake?"

"The serpent demon was originally a demon beast protecting the formation. This humble monk has subdued it and taken it into my temple."

"Hmph, surrender?" The woman sneered, then said in a stern voice, "Since you've submitted, why are you still so demonic, harming my sister's life?"

"Amitabha, this humble monk has said that there must be a secret in this matter. Wu Ming also said that he did not want to harm anyone and only wanted to stop them. That man sold your sister out in order to protect himself, causing this tragedy."

"Your sister, is that Song's wife?"

"Wife? "It should be said that he's a Daoist companion. That kid surnamed Song, years ago, I noticed that he wasn't very righteous, and somehow tricked my sister. Hmph, I didn't think that he would come to steal the Devil Dao, and after finding out about my sister's death, I went looking for him. However, he seems to be dead, and there's no news of him at all." The woman's face was filled with rage, causing her pale face to flush.

So back then, the old man surnamed Song did not accidentally discover this place, but deliberately tried to steal the inheritance of the Devil Dao. The Snake Demon also did not want to kill him, but he did not know that he used his wife as a shield. He told me to retrieve his wife's corpse and that the box contained a trace of essence energy. Naturally, he knew that I couldn't break the seal on the box, but a mere mortal like him had a way. Once he inherited the Devil Dao technique, he would kill me.

"I can bring you to him, but you have to listen to me along the way. Otherwise, even if you kill him, you might not be able to understand the truth!"

The woman hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and nodding.

"Amitabha, the two benefactors can rest here for the night. We will set off tomorrow. Enlighten yourself, prepare a room."

"Hmph, even if the Devil Snake wasn't intentional, it could still be considered to be the murderer of my sister. When I find out the truth, I will find it and settle this score!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and followed Wu Xin to the other room.

"Amitabha, what a sin, is it not fate!"

Master Hui Kong shook his head and turned around to leave as well.

I sat for a while, and the young monk named Wu Xin came back and took me to the other side of the room.

"There's only two monks in this temple, you and Master Hui Kong?"

"Huh?" The young monk stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly shook his head, "No no no, there's still senior Wu Ming."

"Oh? "Wu Ming, isn't that the snake demon?"

The young monk named Enlightened Mind was startled when he heard this. He turned his head and put his hands together before saying in a serious tone, "Demon or demon, after entering an empty door, they are all Buddha's descendants. In his previous life, he was nothing more than a floating cloud."

Looking at the solemn expression on his young face, I couldn't help but laugh. "Good, good. Young master is already so enlightened at such a young age. In the future, your achievements are not inferior to your master's."

"Hehe …" When Enlightened Mind heard me praise him, his face showed a hint of embarrassment. He scratched his head. However, he was clearly overjoyed.

"Are you not afraid of your senior brother?"

"Amitabha, although senior is a snake demon, he is kind-hearted and wholehearted. His heart is devoted to Buddha, and he likes senior very much."

"Yes." Seeing that we had arrived at the room, I nodded. "If that's the case, I'll rest. I'll have to trouble Young Master."

"Amitabha, Almsgiver should rest early."

The night passed in silence, but just as the sky started to brighten, the girl knocked on the door, saying that they should leave earlier. I didn't like her attitude, but since she did it for her sister, I decided to have her.

We didn't say goodbye to Master Hui Kong, who was doing morning lessons, but with a master like him, our departure couldn't be hidden from him.

I didn't want to know more. Although I saw that she was anxious, I couldn't help but to be slow, so I didn't care too much about it and just followed beside her, accommodating her speed.

Three days in a row, we were all on the road. Seeing that she didn't have any intention of stopping to rest, I frowned slightly.

"Lady Yue, if we continue on this path, you will be exhausted of your spiritual energy before reaching the Flying Tusk City." Lady Yue, if we continue on this path, you will be exhausted of your spiritual energy before reaching the Flying Tusk City.

Yue Qingsi frowned and thought for a moment before she shook her head.

I smiled wryly and let her do as she pleased until the fifth day.

"Lady Yue, if this continues, I won't be able to support it anymore?"

"Lady Yue, it's time for us to rest. If you want to continue, please forgive us for not accompanying you!"

"Lady Yue?" "Lady Yue?"

She reached out to pat her arm, but unexpectedly, she suddenly turned her head to stare at me. Her eyes were bloodshot.

"Lady Yue, you …"

Before she could finish her words, Yue Qingsi rolled her eyes and fainted. I held her in my arms. Heavens, if it was just you alone, at such a high distance, it would be strange if you didn't fall to your death. At that time, if others found out that a great master of the False Sky Realm actually fell to his death while flying, you would become the laughingstock of the cultivators.

When we reached a town, I found an inn and asked for a room. Fortunately, she hadn't fully recovered yet and was just forcefully using up her spiritual energy, so she wasn't in any danger of dying. After feeding her a spiritual energy recovery pill, I closed the door and let her rest.

I don't know when it started, but I liked to sit by the window and quietly watch the crowd, even if I didn't think, even if I didn't feel. In the Killing Array, I once again faced the feeling of death. I know, actually, I'm extremely afraid of death, not because I still need to take revenge, but purely because of that fear, fear of that darkness, fear of that loneliness, and this fear of death, left a trace of emptiness in my heart with Master Hui Kong's buddhist arts. I don't even have the previous anger towards revenge anymore, it's as if passivity is greater than initiative, these two words seemed to be a kind of burden in my heart, only a type of mission.

Have I changed?

Looking at the bustling streets, I was at a loss.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Yue Qingsi sitting across me. She was staring blankly at the stream of people outside the window, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

I did not disturb her, she was the same kind of person as I was, we were all after our revenge, and perhaps she was even more lost than I was, for nearly forty years later she was still alone on the road to revenge, but I did not know what kind of obsession she had in mind to be able to persevere, to find the truth even before her wounds were healed.

Time, in the eyes of us cultivators, isn't that important. It's just a concept, a concept that sometimes doesn't even exist.

The sunset gradually came down, and the tempting darkness of the night enveloped the drunken people, and our thoughts, in the midst of people's fake or real laughter, pulled back to reality.

Yue Qingsi glanced at me. Perhaps I was a little confused, but it seemed that I could see a trace of sadness in her eyes. However, it disappeared in a flash. She only left behind a deep spring, recounting her memories.

"I have a feeling, a feeling, that we are very similar …"

Yue Qingsi's words surprised me a little, because in my mind, these few days she was the kind of person with a fiery temper that didn't smile at all. Her black clothes were extremely compatible with hers, and perhaps it was because I saved her that she was willing to speak to me at this moment.

"Because you and I are both bearers of memories."

My reply caused her eyes to quiver slightly. It seems that they shared a trace of sympathy for the same illness. Perhaps it was due to her not revealing the depression in her heart for a very long time. After a long time, she said something that caused her image in my eyes to be completely overturned.

"I have a sister called Yue Liuli. Back then, we were also in a small mountain village, and because of my rudeness, the adults in the village liked her more, including my parents. Seeing her being praised and doted on, I was very jealous. At the same time, I was very envious …"

Tonight, there was no moon in the sky, and the night was rather dark. It was an unlikable night, and Yue Qing's hair was slightly raised as she stared unblinkingly at the dark clouds. She seemed to be talking to herself, recounting her hidden sorrow.

"Yue Qingsi, Yue Liu-Li, even her name is enough to say that she is more popular than me. What strong reason do I have not to hate her?"

Days passed, and my hatred for her became stronger and stronger. When I was nine, she was seven and the bandits came, they killed the villagers and kidnapped me and her …

"I'm scared, I'm crying, but she's calmed down and used her intelligence to let me live a peaceful life with her in the bandit's nest. 2 years, I committed a mistake and she carried some food for me, if there's anything delicious, she'll give it to me …"

Yue Qing was crying, perhaps even she did not realize how delicate she looked right now, her face as pale as a piece of paper.

"One day, she finally found a chance. A chance to escape, but I betrayed her out of fear and jealousy! She had her legs broken, so she stayed alone in the woodshed. In that month, although I had good food and good clothes, I was never that lonely. I was so helpless before.

"When she was released, I saw her limp towards me. I cried, I wished that she would hit me and scold me, but she didn't, she hugged me and said she was sorry, I hurt her, but she said she was sorry, it was supposed to be my words …"

"Enough! "Needless to say, there are a lot of things. The more I think about it, the more my heart hurts." I poured a glass of wine and pushed it gently in front of her.

Yueqing's eyes were red as she looked at me. I saw her tears fall into her mouth and into the wine as well.

"I want to!" After drinking the wine in one gulp, Yue Qing clenched her teeth, endured the extreme pain, and almost shouted, "When you looked at the crowd below you, the emotion in your eyes was the same as mine, the sadness, the confusion, but the pain in your heart, the choice to hide, the choice to bury it, I am different. I will flip the scars over every few days, and let my heart ache once more, because I am afraid, I will become numb one day, and only when I slowly tear open the scars will I feel that I am still alive!"
