The Great Enlightenment

chapter 25

The main branch of the Ji family, Luoxue Pavilion.

This attic has beaded jade curtains, carved beams and painted buildings. It was the resting place that Ji Hong bestowed to Xu Lian'er, mother and daughter when Ji Quexue was born.

"Que Xue, do you know about the eldest son's return?"

Xu Lian'er looked worriedly at the girl on the couch who was fiddling with a secret formula, with a serious expression on her face.

Ji Quexue lowered her head and looked at the spell, and as she danced lightly with her bare hands, a ray of mysterious light appeared, condensing into a small and delicate fire lotus at her fingertips.

After a few breaths, she dispersed the fireworks in her hand, raised her head and said: "Don't worry too much, Grand Duke... Ji Yuenian has lost his cultivation base and extinguished his heart fire. The position bestowed by Hexuan Zhenzhen, he has to do it." arrive."

After going through some ups and downs, Ji Quexue seemed to be a different person, her eyes were extremely firm, and her cowardice and weakness had long since disappeared without a trace.

Xu Lian'er sighed, and said: "But he is the eldest son after all, although it is difficult to rekindle his heart fire after it is extinguished, but in case..."

"No chance," Ji Quexue stood up, and against the background of the water-blue dress, her delicate and fair face became more and more beautiful, "Tomorrow, Ji Hong will go to Heyun Temple and take this My place is completely determined."

"Que Xue, how can you address your father like that?" Xu Lian'er shook her head with a displeased expression on her face.

Ji Quexue was silent for a moment, walked up to Xu Lian'er, looked down at the woman in front of her who was half a head shorter than her, and said word by word: "From that day on, I will never recognize Ji Hong again. A cold-blooded and ruthless man is a father, and if one day I succeed in mysticism, I will make him regret what he has done!"

"Que Xue! How could you think so!"

Xu Lian'er stared blankly at Ji Quexue, this daughter had become so strange at this moment.

Ji Quexue leaned closer, her head full of blue hair hanging on Xu Lian'er's shoulders, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, you were also the eldest lady from the Xu family back then, if you weren't so cowardly and blindly obedient And having no opinion, my mother and daughter will never be so sad in Ji's house these years, compared to the cruel and ruthless Ji Hong, you are the culprit."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the attic.

Xu Lian'er stood alone in the empty Luoxue loft for a while, then lay down on the couch and buried her head deeply in her arms.

Not long after, there were bursts of sobs and sobs faintly heard in the attic.

……

It's cold at night again.

Ji Bugui flipped through an ancient book in the study, and couldn't help but secretly admire it.

He couldn't even read a single page of such an obscure seal book.However, Mr. Ji marked the dozens of ancient books on the bookshelf on the west side densely. Obviously, Ji Yuenian had read these various kinds of ancient books more than once.

"Those who live in Luzhou in the north, although they are good at killing, they only do it to make ends meet, and they are clumsy and affectionate, so they don't practice much. Note: That's what I said."

Barely identifying the ancient seal on it, after reading this sentence in a low voice, Ji Bugui couldn't help but shook his head again and again, saying to himself: "It's so absurd that people in Laoshizi's ancient book arrange Beiju Luzhou in this way, even Even the Eldest Young Master's comment is a bit confusing to me."

After finishing his words, he put down the ancient book in his hand, and turned his gaze to the large case table made of sandalwood by the window.

In the upper left corner of the table, there are many things densely placed, including pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which are obviously used by Ji Yuenian on weekdays.

Ji Bugui walked forward, and was about to flip through the volumes placed on it, when a somewhat low voice came from outside the study.

"My lord, the Patriarch invites you to the Zhenhai Hall."

The Zhenhai Hall is the core main building of the main line of the Ji family. There is a main hall and six branch halls. The Ji Family Ancestral Hall is located in the Juling Hall behind the Zhenhai Hall.

Ji Bugui paused, and said, "Okay, I'll go there now."

The voice said again: "Please leave now, Eldest Young Master."

There was some embarrassment in Ji Bugui's eyes, but he felt even more worthless for Ji Yuenian in his heart.

Although this person is respectful and courteous on the surface, his tone is actually aggressive. It is really chilling that the dignified Ji family's eldest son will be treated like this after his heart is extinguished.

"I know."

Thinking of Ji Yuenian's confession, Ji Bugui suppressed his extra thoughts, pushed away the study room and walked out.

The window sash of the attic was not closed, and the cold night wind swept into the palace room, turning the yellowed pages of ancient books with a rattle.

The obscure ancient book that Ji Bugui had just put down was also gently closed, revealing the broken book cover.

Five distorted seal characters are arranged vertically on it, slightly glowing with golden light.

……

The main line of the Ji family, Zhenhai Hall.

"My lord, go in."

Xu Jianghe, who was dressed in black armor, looked at "Ji Yuenian" in front of him expressionlessly, and spoke lightly.

Ji Bugui glanced at him, stood under the hall door for a moment, and stepped into the brightly lit hall.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Ji Hong sitting on the highest seat, and a layer of haze floated in his heart.

"Nian'er, how is your recovery?"

Ji Hong got off his seat and walked slowly towards Ji Bugui.

After all, Ji Bugui is only a common man, and Ji Hong is quite majestic as the head of the family. At that moment, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he felt an indescribable sense of oppression in his mind.

"Year?"

The ground in Zhenhai Hall is divided into three floors, from high to low to the gate of the hall. Ji Hong stopped in front of Ji Bugui, and then stood on the ground of the second floor. Bugui couldn't see Ji Hong's expression at all.

Ji Bugui calmed down, forced a smile, and said, "Patriarch... Father, I'm feeling better."

Ji Hong frowned slightly, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't pay attention to it. He reached out and patted Ji Bugui's shoulder, and said, "Nian'er, do you want to take revenge?"

"Revenge?" Ji Bugui was a little puzzled.

Ji Hong turned sideways slightly, letting the lights in the hall shine on Ji Bugui's bewildered face, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, when you were abolished and thrown into the Qingluan Mountains, you should have died without a life, but now I don’t know why he was able to return intact, but his anger was extinguished, and he even lost all his memories. This revenge... must be avenged.”

"What do you mean by what my father said?"

Streams of cool air diffused into the body from the clothes of the spirit-hunting ghost, which made Ji Bugui sober up a lot.

Ji Hong glanced at Ji Bugui, and said softly: "Your memories of this life are all in the soul, if you want to take revenge, you can only try to take out the things you threw into it by casting some spells that are quite harmful to you. Memories from before the Qingluan Mountains."

Ji Bugui noticed the slight trembling of the spirit-stealing ghost's clothes, and his heart calmed down a lot. He raised his head and said, "According to my father's wishes, what should I do?"

Ji Hong was silent for a moment, as if he was extremely unwilling, he sighed slightly.

Ji Bugui sneered a little, but still maintained a respectful face, and said: "Father, it's okay to say, Nian'er has already lost his cultivation at this time, if he can avenge this revenge, it will save some face for my Ji family, Nian'er Willing!"

Ji Hong hesitated for a few breaths before opening his mouth and said: "For the present plan, the only way to find out those memories is to use the soul-searching spell to cut off a part of your soul."

Ji Bugui didn't hesitate at all, and responded, "Okay!"

The Zhenhai Great Hall was extremely quiet, except for the two "father and son", there was no one else.

Ji Hong was a little surprised by Ji Bugui's decisiveness, thought for a moment, and then said: "There is one more thing, I don't know if I should say it as a father."

Ji Bugui sneered in his heart, but he didn't stop at all, and said respectfully: "Father, it's okay to say."

Ji Hong paused, and said: "Your heart fire has been extinguished, and there will be no chance to ignite it again. However, if you can take off this sixth-grade fire seed attached to your soul when you split your soul, Refining it and using it on Weifu is also a way to strengthen the strength of my Ji family."

silence.

Ji Bugui didn't know what expression to make at this time, so he had to remain silent.

Seeing that he seemed to be resisting, Ji Hong hurriedly said: "Nian'er, you must do this voluntarily, otherwise you will not be able to get this kind of heart fire as your father. The Ji family is currently weak in the ancient city of Taichu. How about you help to be a father once?"

Every living being's soul is attached to the heart fire, but ninety-nine out of ten living beings cannot ignite it.However, the heart fire seed that ignites and then goes out can be swallowed by other creatures to enhance its heart fire sequence rank!
It's just that most of the creatures after the heart fire is extinguished will die directly, so there are not many opportunities to use this extremely harsh method.

Ji Hong's Heart Fire Sequence rank is only the seventh rank. If he can devour "Ji Yuenian"'s extinguished Sixth Rank Sequence Heart Fire, then he is very likely to use this to raise his own Heart Fire Sequence rank. You can even use this momentum to directly break into the upper realm of Guizhen!
All the flaws of "Ji Yuenian" were covered up by the ghost clothes. According to Ji Hong's induction, there was indeed an extinguished heart fire in the soul of "Ji Yuenian", which was also the reason for his The real purpose of calling "Ji Yuenian" here at this time!

It can even be said that when he first saw the "Ji Yuenian" who had extinguished his anger, he had already had this extremely vicious thought in his heart.

Ji Bugui was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, father decides when to cast the spell?"

Ji Hong's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement. It wasn't until this time that the master of the family who practiced at the initial stage of his return to true nature was able to take off his thick mask, revealing the truest side of his heart.

"I'll let people prepare it now, and cast the spell at midnight tonight! Don't worry, Nian, after I take out the memory, I will definitely avenge you!"

After saying this, Ji Hong knew that something was wrong, he laughed dryly, and said: "Even if the soul is severed, you will not necessarily die. Don't worry, I will do my best to save your life for my father!"

Apparently in his eyes, "Ji Yuenian", who had lost all his memories at this time, could already coax him at will without any scruples about the consequences.

Ji Bugui nodded his head, and then retreated directly into the dark place of the hall, sneering lowly.

Save your life?

Casting a spell to split the spirit and soul is like ten deaths and no life.

If the fire seed of the heart is picked from the source of the soul, the soul will be destroyed immediately, and the true soul will reincarnate and pass away, and there will be no possibility of survival.
